CH.91 The First Race
Zheng Ke's attention immediately focused on the TV. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the first battle of the top four, and if either side can win, it will have the upper hand in the final, so everyone, including Zheng Ke, cheered up.
Hitoshi Kuriyama and Kazumi Konno each pushed a food cart and walked out from behind the scenes, each with three rows of dinner plates with dinner lids.
Kihara Kihara communicated with the two of them a little and decided to decide the order of appearance by tossing a coin.
In the end, Ren Kuriyama won and won the first qualification for the judges to try it.
He pushed the cart to the edge of the stage, then got off the stage with the food, placing the three dishes in front of the three chefs.
"Three, teacher, this is my food, please try it. Ren Kuriyama bowed slightly, took two steps back, and calmly looked at the three judges.
Hirao Tomoki nodded slightly, and lifted the lid of the plate with great interest.
In the center of the plate is a ruddy tenderloin with a fragrant flavor wafting outward, and emerald green parsley scattered on top of the tenderloin, adding a touch of freshness to the rich tenderloin.
Tomoki Hirao took two deep breaths, and his slightly hungry body immediately protested to him. If it weren't for the finest cuisine, it would never have such an attractive taste.
Just as Hirao Chiki was feeling the deliciousness of the food, Taku Misawa on one side couldn't resist the temptation of deliciousness, took out a fork and knife, and gently cut off a piece of tenderloin. The crispy dough is chewed with your teeth and immediately scattered throughout your mouth, and the delicious taste of the tenderloin enters your body as if it will melt at any moment.
"It was delicious. The tender tenderloin is whipped with a hammer to loosen the meat, then the tenderloin is stuffed with salt and pepper and left for a while before being sprinkled with flour, egg wash and breadcrumbs. The egg mixture adheres the breadcrumbs to the tenderloin, and when it is fried, it becomes fluffy and crispy, giving the dish a great texture. Taku Misawa closed his eyes and felt the invasion of the deliciousness.
Not only that, but the flour wrapped in it clings to the top of the tenderloin, dipped in the rich gravy, and with each chew, the juice flows to all parts of the mouth, making it addictive. Ikegami touched her cheeks, but found that her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter, and every time she chewed the tenderloin, it seemed to make her full of energy.
"This dish is cooked by frying and does not use an oven, so it is very demanding of the chef's skill, and there is no doubt that this contestant has achieved this. Hirao wiped his mouth and said his evaluation.
Kihara Kihara stepped forward and said softly, "Then, please ask the three of you to score the player Ren Kuriyama." ”
“9”、“8”、“9”。
The three judges showed their scores in turn.
"That's an astonishing 26 points!" Kihara exclaimed.
There was an uproar at the scene, except for Tomoki Hirao, who is a star chef, the other two judges all gave an astonishing 9 points.
Kuriyama Ren nodded slightly, but there was no smile on his face.
This score may be a good score for others, but for him, it is not a result to be happy about. He has practiced this dish no less than 8 times, but in front of the star chef, there are still some flaws.
Seeing Ren Kuriyama return to the middle of the stage, Kazumi Konno knew it was her turn.
26 points is a very high score, and if you don't get the approval of Tomoki Hirao, it would be wishful thinking to want to enter the finals.
Can I do it myself?
Kazumi Konno asked herself, but there was no answer in her mind.
"Konno, come on!"
"Defeat that kid and avenge us!"
Sitting in the middle, Teru Ikeuchi held up the light sign and cheered for Kazumi Konno, while Kusuke Takeda and Aiya Kato around him danced the air hammer high.
No problem, it must be fine.
Kazumi Konno hinted at herself in her heart, slowly pushing the food cart to the edge of the stage and serving her own food to the three judges at once.
"Teacher, please try my dish, mustard barbecue tenderloin. ”
Ikegami lifted the lid of the plate, and a delicate dish appeared in front of him.
At the bottom of the plate are the same sized potato cubes, and on the top are 1 cm thick slices of tenderloin, and a rich sauce is poured over the slices of meat and potatoes, and bright red cherry tomatoes are placed around the plate.
Zheng Ke in front of the TV saw this dish, and his brows furrowed, "Oops, how did she make this dish?"
After a slight pause for two or three seconds, he immediately stood up and opened the door to the lounge.
"Adventure, too risky!"
Zheng Ke's mind kept recalling the food he had just seen, and his heart was full of self-blame.
At that time, it would have been nice to have a little reminder of Kazumi Konno.
The reason why Zheng Ke is so anxious is not that the cuisine chosen by Kazumi Konno is not good, in fact, on the contrary, this cuisine is really good. However, delicious dishes will require a lot of cooking skills and more complicated steps.
For example, in Kuriyama's cooking, although it can be judged from the dishes he makes that he has good basic skills, the difficulty of that dish can be said to be average, and the difficulty of the whole dish lies in the two parts of applying the coat and frying.
However, Kazumi Konno's cuisine is very different, in order to ensure that the rich flavor of the tenderloin is not lost, the tenderloin is tied up with cotton rope, fried, then smeared with wasabi and baked in the oven. At the same time, the veal stock is mixed with shallots, white wine, and other dishes to boil. After that, other ingredients such as black pepper and mustard are added to the soup to make a suitable sauce.
Zheng Ke has tried this dish before, and the taste is okay, with a certain level. But when Kazumi Konno was making this dish, she forgot an important factor - time. With her strength, it will take at least an hour and a half to bring out the taste of this dish to the extreme.
On such an important occasion, with such a tight time, to make such a complex dish, the consequences can be imagined.
"Teacher Zheng Ke, why are you here?" Standing behind the curtain, Chiharu Nagata, who was pushing the dining cart, looked at Zheng Ke in astonishment.
"I'll take a look at the results. Zheng Ke's expression was solemn.
"Oh. Chiharu Nagata nodded, and followed Zheng Ke to look at the center of the stage.
At this moment, Kihara's voice came from the stage: "Please show the scores of the three teachers." ”
Hirao Tomoki was the first to show the score - 8 points.
"It's fine. Zheng Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead, and before he had time to catch his breath, the remaining two judges also showed their scores one after another.
“7”、“7”。
"Winner, Ren Kuriyama. Kihara gave the result of the first match of the first round.
