Chapter 250: The First Match
The male and female hosts on the stage stabilized the high emotions of the peripheral audience, and then solemnly introduced the information of the five judges.
The first to introduce the three members of the Ito family is nothing more than to introduce their identities.
Ginnosuke Ito's expression was more serious, he bowed slightly, and said in a more fluent Huaxia language, "I used to stay in Huaxia for two years, and I especially like this country, especially Huaxia cuisine. I am honored to be a judge of this cooking competition, and I would like to announce that the winning hotel of the cooking competition will be awarded the right to settle in Japanese cuisine by Ito. ”
After speaking, Ginnosuke Ito bowed slightly.
Koji Ito and Masami Ito, who could not speak Chinese, smiled and bowed slightly, and said in Japanese at the same time, "Please advise." ”
Bai Xiaobai watched these judges speak in the rest area, and his heart was shocked.
Frankly speaking, in the food competition of Huaxia Kingdom, no matter how good the judges are at tasting food, many of them will put on a posture of food experts, giving people a sense of unreachable distance.
However, these Japanese judges are really humble and polite, giving people a special sense of intimacy, which has virtually eliminated cultural barriers to a certain extent.
The male and female presenters continued to introduce the remaining two judges.
An uncle in a Japanese chef's suit, named Ichiro Watanabe, listens to the host's simple translation introduction.
He is a well-known local chef in Saitama Prefecture, the capital of the Eastern Province, who is proficient in Japanese cuisine, and is good at both fugu cuisine and good sushi, and has won the championship of the Japanese Bon International Sushi Cup Competition.
In private, Watanabe Ichiro is very fond of Chinese cuisine, this is his first time in China, and he humbly admits that in addition to tasting food as a judge today, he is still here to observe and learn Chinese cuisine, and please give me more advice.
As for the young beauty judge, her name is very good, her name is Sachiko Nohara, and she is a well-known local senior foodie judge in Saitama Prefecture, the capital of the Eastern Economy.
Because of her keen sense of taste, Sachiko Nohara was named the princess of food by the locals, and was introduced by the host's translation, in addition to Japanese food, her favorite foreign cuisine is Chinese cuisine, and she also said that she likes Chinese culture very much, and has been working hard to learn Chinese calligraphy and Chinese language recently.
During the conversation with the host, Sachiko Nohara looked excited, and finally said in a very shy and half-stiff Chinese language, saying that she was very happy to come to Huaxia and hoped to taste delicious Chinese cuisine today, and then said thank you twice in a row, and bowed slightly 30 degrees.
It was the first time to face the Japanese people at such a close distance, Bai Xiaobai felt that they were still very modest and polite, and they were smiling all the time, including the three people of the Ito family, and after they finished speaking, they would bow slightly 30 degrees to show their respect for this cooking competition.
After introducing the five judges, the hostess said, "We thank the five judges from Japan, and then we invite Mr. Chen of Haochuang Hotel and Mr. Li of Hengyuan Hotel to deliver the opening speech of the cooking competition and announce the start of the competition. ”
The process of this cooking competition is still relatively formal.
Mr. Chen of Haochuang Hotel and Mr. Li of Hengyuan Hotel have made speeches successively.
Bai Xiaobai didn't want to listen to what he said, it was nothing more than a very official thank the city government for providing the competition venue, as well as providing security assistance or something, and finally thanked the judges for being able to come to the scene...... Something like that.
However, Mr. Li of Hengyuan seemed quite confident in his speech, saying that his team would go all out in this game and was bound to win.
In the face of provocation, Mr. Chen, who was Haochuang, did not show weakness, and vowed to announce that this cooking competition was nine out of ten, and invited people from all walks of life to watch the competition to testify.
In short, there is no competition yet, and the stage is already full of gunpowder.
You can imagine how fierce the next game will be.
After finishing the speech, Mr. Chen and Mr. Li announced the official start of the competition together.
Then they returned to their places and sat on the judges' seats.
No wonder there are seven judges' seats, and it turns out that Mr. Chen and Mr. Li of Hengyuan will also be seated.
The five Japanese benzene judges have already taken their seats in the corresponding markings.
As for the stove in the competition area, the two contestants of the first race are already in place.
The male host announced loudly, "The first game has officially begun, and Master Yang Huaizhong sent by Haochuang Hotel will face Master Li Maoren of Hengyuan Hotel. ”
The competition has officially begun.
Start with the moderator.
Yang Huaizhong and Li Maoren both quickly began to cook food.
The cooking competition is to cook a Chinese dish within half an hour.
In fact, there is plenty of time, if you just fry a simple home-cooked dish, the time is completely more than enough.
However, this is a professional cooking competition, and Yang Huaizhong is not cooking home-cooked food, so it takes more effort to cook.
Originally, Yang Huaizhong had already decided to make abalone juice buckle sea cucumber, but Ito Nano had a special request, in order to test the chef's real skills, the ingredients carried must be unprocessed in advance, so check the ingredients before entering.
Although the dish is delicious, it is very laborious to make.
First, the abalone sauce is very labor-intensive to make, and it takes several hours just to hang the soup.
In addition, it takes at least 24 hours to get the dried sea cucumber ready, and it also needs to be cleaned by changing the water during this period, which is very cumbersome.
So he had to give up this dish, think about it, and finally change to steamed turbot.
Steamed treasure fish is more time-saving, but because there is no assistant, Yang Huaizhong has to complete the washing and cutting of ingredients by himself, and there are many details in the cooking, so it consumes a lot of time, and 30 minutes is barely enough.
When Yang Huaizhong was cooking the ingredients, he smiled at Li Maoren on the stove.
"Old man Yang, you are embarrassed to take out such a delicious dish as steamed treasure fish, and you underestimate me too much. You're losing this game. ”
Li Maoren smiled darkly, took out a bag of flour, scooped out an appropriate amount of flour, began to add water, and quickly kneaded the dough.
……
In the rest area, Bai Xiaobai did not play with his mobile phone, he concentrated on watching the first game.
Bai Xiaobai is quite well-informed, and from Yang Huaizhong's choice of ingredients, most of his cooking is steamed treasure fish.
The flesh of the treasure fish is white and delicate, and it is mostly produced in the coastal areas of Guangzhou, Guangdong, and the nutrition and taste of the treasure fish can be maintained to the greatest extent by steaming.
Therefore, steamed treasure fish is the most common way to eat in Guangdong Province, and it is considered an authentic delicacy.
After the finished dish, the fish is fragrant, the meat is delicious, and the taste is fragrant and tender.
Steamed turbot fish with chopsticks and dipped in a light and delicious sauce is so good that there is nothing to say about it, because of the excellent taste, this dish is very popular among food lovers.
However, steamed turbot fish is easy to learn and difficult to master, especially for the chef's firework.
The steaming process is crucial to keep the fish fully cooked and tender at the same time.
If the time is not right, if you don't steam it all at once, return to the pot and continue to steam again, and the tenderness of the fish itself can easily be completely lost.
If the steaming time is too long, the fish will become very old, and the sweetness of the fish will completely volatilize with the water vapor, and the taste will be completely reduced, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a complete failure.
