——————————————
On December 1, Sichuan cuisine versus Shandong cuisine.
December 2, Turkey vs. Iran.
December 3, Sichuan cuisine against Turkey.
On December 4, Lu Cai against Iran.
On December 5, Lu cuisine against Turkey.
December 6, Sichuan cuisine against Iran.
On the same day, teams from almost all major countries will have a match.
In other words, from the first day, the organizing committee will attract the attention of a large number of audiences.
The first day was Sichuan cuisine versus Shandong cuisine, and everyone felt that it was simple.
On December 1, in the early morning of France, Fang Hong turned on the live broadcast, and many water friends quickly poured into the live broadcast room.
Fang Hong: "Everyone is talking, many people are used to the live broadcast room and don't like to go to TV to watch, let me tell you about the competition system first." ”
"Since in Western food culture, noon is generally a simple meal, so the evening is the main meal, and it is precisely because of this that afternoon tea is formed."
"In the rules under the competition system, there are a total of four dishes, the first is an appetizer, the second is meat or soup, the third is a main course (main dish), and the fourth is a dessert, of which wine is not allowed during the competition."
In other words, it is not feasible to use red wine to relieve the greasy taste of meat.
Unless, it's the chef's own team that brews wine at the competition venue, and then uses it for cooking.
Under this rule, if the third dish is to be paired with the main dish, it is generally bread, of course, East Asian chefs may make noodles, Southeast Asian chefs can cook, and China has a lot of choices in this regard.
The problem with this game is that even if it goes with bread, it has to be made here by the team, in other words, just go to the opponent's home and smell it to know if they want to use bread in the afternoon and evening games.
Including cookie crumbs, bread crumbs, they must be made here, otherwise it is considered a foul.
This time, the chefs of the Western department wanted to be a Chinese chef, and Fang Hong's toughness caused them to lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot.
Eight groups are carried out at the same time, so the domestic audience has no time to watch other matches, CCTV has visited several strong teams, Fang Hong also has TV stations from other countries here from time to time, among all the chefs, Fang Hong may be the most famous person, so it is a hot spot.
Fang Hong also had to prepare for the future competition in the morning.
"Brother Gun, what is this?
Fang Hong is using starch, sweet potato starch, and some shrimp juice to mix the viscous liquid.
However, even if it is only the first step, there are well-informed sailors who know what Fang Hong is doing: "Shrimp chips, a fried food, should be used to make desserts." ”
He guessed correctly, but Fang Hong was going to make a dish with shrimp chips instead of dessert.
"The menu is on!"
Chefs on both sides need to report the menu in the morning, because some dishes take hours to prepare, and if there is a special mark, they have to start early, so that the judges can wait directly on the spot.
But it's a very dangerous thing to do, if you make the judges wait five or six hours, then their expectations will be high, and if they don't meet that expectation, they will be in the street.
Fang Hong reported four dishes on the first day.
"According to my estimate, Li Tiegang should report four famous dishes, so I will report four new dishes."
After careful consideration, the four dishes Fang Hong chose were: picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, brazier barbecue, mountain spring tofu, and willow and dark flowers.
"Brother Gun, I know that brazier barbecue, it's the way to eat xichang, that mountain spring tofu is a newly created tofu, and what is that chrysanthemum picking under the east fence and willow dark flowers?"
"It doesn't matter if you say it, anyway, the menu is out, under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums is the first vegetable chrysanthemum fish pioneered by Master Shi Zhengliang, I used it to change it, forming this dish under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, and the willows are a dessert changed by pulling strings and willows."
After a while, the people from the organizing committee sent the second menu, and Fang Hong showed it to the sailors after reading it: "Sure enough, I didn't guess wrong, there are four classic dishes on the side of Lu cuisine, so my choice should be right, their menu is, sweet and sour tenderloin, white braised four treasures, yellow braised chicken nuggets, and shredded yam." ”
"If I want to use the classic dish against his four dishes, I can only take out the pot pork slices, boiling water cabbage, red oil chicken slices and brown sugar pot helmet, but first boiling water cabbage has to be done for ten hours, which will cause my basic score to become lower, and I may not be able to win, so I can only use new dishes to compete against him."
Everyone knows each other well, and a game is a game. What can be compared with the strong coriander like Bai Ba Sibao can only be boiling water cabbage, and Fang Hong is unwilling to do thankless things.
"It sounded interesting, so I decided to go to bed first and wake up early to watch the live game."
"I have that idea too."
In fact, as early as before the start of the game, Fang Hong took Li Tiegang of Lu Cai as the first imaginary opponent, and Fang Hong believed that if he had a chance to enter the finals, the opponent was likely to be Lu Cai.
The current situation is that if the two do qualify together, then only the final is possible.
Fang Hong is still making shrimp chips.
After mixing the viscous liquid, it is put into a nylon bag that can be kept out of water, and put on the steamer.
"Brother Gun, this is no problem, is this considered to start cooking a dish in advance?"
"The shrimp chips have to be fried before they become a dish, and they were at most semi-formed before, and I have already reported it, and there is no problem."
After the steamer is put on, the dough will be formed, and the nylon bag will be waterproofed, so there is no water inside, and the next step is to freeze at zero degrees to cool down, and then slice, probably the process is very similar to making biscuits.
After cutting, it is a thin round sheet, and when it dries, it will be set.
When you want to do it, fry it in a pan and it will be a dish.
This thing is what Fang Hong is going to use to deal with the RB team.
The RB team is also a chef, but the assistant chef they hired is simply excessive, the world's first tempura master is in the team, Fang Hong must choose a fried dish, overwhelm him, let them understand, who is the master of oil use.
By noon, the whole station was already busy.
Two big cooks are also in place.
Fang Hong also specially introduced the water friends.
Wearing a yellow chef's uniform, a little fat, it was Li Yun, the little apprentice of Master Shi Zhengliang.
Wearing a black chef's uniform, the thin little man is the little apprentice of the master uncle, Shang Yang.
After a simple lunch at noon, Fang Hong personally set out and got the raw materials from the various masters in the station, this time all the raw materials were specially stared at, except for Fang Hong, no one else was allowed to pass it.
Bringing everything out of the customs, Fang Hong, Li Yun, and Shang Yang walked to the main venue.
The station is a small village, so the nearby buildings are all newly renovated for this competition, except for the mill and the like, and the organizing committee hopes that after this competition, there will be a large venue used for the competition, just like the Olympic Village after the World Cup and the Olympic Games.
This will be a culinary village.
Although there are a lot of new buildings, the style is modeled after the local architecture, with white walls and orange tiles, and the village is also full of flowers at this time, with a small stream running through it and many wooden arch bridges connecting the two sides of the village.
In the center of the village is a flat meadow, next to the stream, which is the main venue, and if it rains, a tent cloth will be set up directly outside to protect it from the rain.
Since the menu was reported in the morning, the exquisite menu made by the judges was already on the judges' table in the afternoon, and the preview was also typed out in advance.
The match is the Chinese Sichuan cuisine team VS the Chinese Lu cuisine team.
The appetizer is the chrysanthemum east fence VS sweet and sour tenderloin.
Side dish (soup): brazier barbecue VS yellow braised chicken nuggets.
The main dish is Sansen Tofu (rice) VS Baekba Sibo (rice).
The dessert is willow and dark flowers VS silk yam!
Li Tiegang walked towards Fang Hong and stretched out his hand: "Looking forward to the result." ”
Fang Hong shook hands: "Good luck." ”
Today, Fang Hong brought the national emblem, and Fang Hong played against Li Tiegang and gave him enough respect.
On the side of the live TV, many people wondered, why one chef wore the national emblem, but the other did not, isn't the other the Chinese team?
However, after browsing the news, they knew the concept of China's top ten celebrity chefs, and many Ludi viewers began to sweat for Li Tiegang, who was older and looked more qualified.
