Chapter 265: He Moved
In the Galaxy Plaza, with the sound of the sound hanging around, after the first assessment, only the remaining thirty people came to the assessment room where they were one after another, because the number of people has plummeted by more than half, and now in the huge assessment area, the semi-sealed assessment room, has also been idle for most of the time, and with the sharp decrease in the number of people, some temporary venues have been gradually dismantled, and after the space is huge, thirty waiters in professional clothes also appeared in front of the door of the only remaining thirty assessment rooms. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the 60th assessment room, Wang Ming's eyes looked at the fresh-keeping box on the countertop, the fresh-keeping box was not large, and there should not be many raw materials inside, and this was sent in by the waiter who was standing outside the door before, and it should belong to the raw materials required for the second assessment.
Wang Ming took a light breath, brought the handbag on the side, opened it, and took out the No. 2 mulberry knife wrapped in cowhide from it, the silver-white No. 2 mulberry knife reflected bursts of white light, making Wang Ming's eyes soft, unconsciously, for this No. 2 mulberry knife, Wang Ming already had feelings, stretched out his hand to stroke the cold knife body, a smile appeared on Wang Ming's face, and then, opened the crisper box in front of him.
As Wang Ming expected, there were not many items in the crisper box, a piece of potato that had been processed, a small piece of vegetable, but a green bamboo shoot that was only the size of a thumb, and in addition, in the crisper box, only a small carved scimitar with a partial mouth remained.
"The number of auditions for this second item has decreased, and in order to save costs, these cheap raw materials, two kinds of vegetables, but I don't know what kind of competition method it is."
Wang Ming pursed his lips, expressing his contempt for this practice of the Cooking Association and the Second Chamber of Commerce, but it was just a joke, he knew very well that he knew very well that only the best raw materials could cook deliciously, just like the green bamboo shoots and potatoes in front of him, if handled properly, they could cook different deliciousness.
And in Wang Ming's groaning, everyone in the rest of the area was also surprised by the two vegetables in front of them, but since the audition was so arranged, there would definitely be a reason for him, and even if these three raw materials were able to reflect the solidity of the knife skills, if it was too simple, it should be impossible, according to the convention, in the assessment of this second item, ten contestants will be brushed down again.
"We all know that a qualified dun worker, in addition to having a good knife skill, is also very important for the rational use of raw materials, the cost accounting of dishes, a considerable part of the profits are in the processing of knife skills, and therefore, although the knife skills as an auxiliary role, but still very important, today, the second item of this audition, to test your knife skills, in addition, carving, as another type of auxiliary finished products, also need to master some, cooking competition, competition is all-round development, And not just one of them. ”
"And now among the raw materials in front of you, in order to reflect the exquisite skills of your knife skills, the processing of potatoes needs to be cut into shreds, here to emphasize, thickness and uniformity, all occupy a certain share of assessment, finally, I hope you can make the best use of things, and that small piece, I think, everyone should have seen it, that is, we commonly known as cicadas, for the second item of knife skills, it is to cut out the thinnest and most uniform shredded potatoes within the specified time, and to carve this small piece of green bamboo shoots, Carve it into a turquoise cicada, and the time it takes to carve and change the knife will be controlled within 30 minutes. ”
On the referee's seat, the middle-aged man's voice fell, and when his eyes swept over the people in the assessment room below, he took a deep breath, and a faint hint of anticipation appeared on his face.
"Now, the second assessment begins."
As the middle-aged man's voice fell, in the assessment venue, the contestants of the old restaurant showed a strange look on their faces, this kind of requirement, although it is challenging for them, compared to the first topic, it is undoubtedly a lot more relaxed, but there are still a large number of people with a difficult face, looking at the small piece of green bamboo shoots and a small carving scimitar, the brows are slightly furrowed, carving as an auxiliary process, it is generally completed by cold meat or professional food carving masters, Although most people will have some interest when they get started, they will not develop evenly in the end, and because of this, there is a faint look of worry on their faces.
"Oh my God, carving a cicada out of this thing, why is this year's audition so perverted."
In the competition area, some people whispered without tears, if there were no such hard rules, they would still have the strength to fight, but this special request made people feel a little desperate.
In the sixty-first area, Wang Wendong frowned tightly, although he had already started the game, and his heart was full of anxiety, but he tried his best to calm his inner emotions, and worked hard to conceive the appearance of the cicada in his mind.
"Can't be in a hurry, can't be in a hurry, relax .......... a... Cicada. ”
In the stands, countless eyes looked at the area, although they couldn't see the specific operation method, but this kind of knife skill competition still made them full of enthusiasm, and even some people were eager to know who could take the lead in this second assessment.
Above the exclusive seat, Li Long and Yu Shao glanced at each other, they were not worried about the requirements of the knife skills, Wang Ming's knife skills were unmatched in the Yufu Building, and Li Long, who had seen Wang Ming's knife skills with his own eyes, was also very sure, about the knife work, Wang Ming should not have any problems, but the so-called carving... Whether it is Wang Ming or Wang Wendong, there is almost nothing involved.
"Engraving... Cicadas..."
Li Long muttered softly, carving a thumb-sized piece of green bamboo shoots into a cicada, which was not insignificant, and there was still a glimmer of hope, but it was quietly tensed again.
In the large catering portal, because of the need for high-end dishes, there are often plate decorations and carvings, and some studious chefs often have a strong interest in this kind of thing, and they will also participate in it after a long period of time.
In the assessment area, most of the participants in the second item have begun to cut and match shredded potatoes, as the earliest and most familiar vegetables to practice knife work, it is also more convenient to cut and match, but because the requirements for shredded potatoes in restaurants and restaurants are generally controlled under the thickness of matchsticks, therefore, even if they start cutting, almost everyone looks serious, and that level, as if they are apprentices for the first time, carefully cut and match.
Among them, the contestants in the old restaurants such as Lao Chuanlu, Hongqi Restaurant, Crystal Palace, Pengtian Pavilion and Dengying Tower, etc., are faster than others, and the expressions on their faces are also very natural.
In the assessment area, the sound of the uniform speed of the kitchen knife touching the pier surface continued to come out, and the noisy sound around gradually dissipated, and countless eyes were constantly swept over the operation room of the contestants below, although they could not see the specific operation situation, but they could see the handsome movements in their hands, and among the audience, more people were concerned about the small area where Wang Ming was located on the 60th.
"Huh? What's going on? Why hasn't this number sixty moved yet? Cutting shredded potatoes, although it is difficult, but for those who can participate in this assessment, there should be no problem, what's going on with this guy? ”
"The contestant on the sixty-first one, the last round was very dangerous, these two people are the contestants of the Yufu Building, you see, he didn't move."
"Is it a mystery? However, the last round of theoretical knowledge, as long as you are more knowledgeable and willing to learn, it is not difficult to answer, but what is tested in this round is the actual combat experience, which is different. ”
"I just asked, this Yufulou is the only second-level catering portal this year, I don't know how to get the qualification to enter the audition, it was eye-catching just now, but now I look at it like this, some stamina is insufficient, sure enough, this kind of event, only those little geniuses of the first-level catering portal are eligible to participate."
Everyone whispered and talked in a low voice, and in the entire competition venue, except for the two connected operation rooms of No. 60 and No. 61, the rest of the people had already begun to match.
Wang Wendong's tightly frowning brows slowly loosened, and when he took a deep breath, the kitchen knife in his hand was grabbed by him, looking at the irregular potatoes in front of him, and when he stretched out his hand, he also carefully entered the cutting...
In the sixty area, Wang Ming's slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and the shape of the cicada that appeared in his mind gradually disappeared, and when he took a light breath, there was a burst of dangdang sound in his ears, which made the corners of his mouth raise a smile.
"Do you want to make the most of it..."
The corners of Wang Ming's mouth murmured softly, and then, the No. 2 mulberry knife in his hand was grabbed by him at will, the figure standing in front of the pier was slightly straight, the two feet were naturally separated, the left hand picked up the potato that had been peeled, and the No. 2 mulberry knife in the right hand fell lightly with the flip of the wrist, against the potato on the pier, and with the knife fell, a piece of potato slices as thin as cicada wings quietly followed the knife body and fell on the pier surface.
Looking at the thin potato slices like cicada wings, the smile on the corner of Wang Ming's mouth spread a little more, and then, the milky white jade plate on his chest expanded with a sense of warmth and coolness, making him gradually enter a state of concentration and concentration.
The No. 2 Mulberry Knife in his hand continued to reflect white light, and the speed increased to a peak, so that everyone outside could only see bursts of white light flickering, as for the action of raising and falling the knife, or because of the long distance, it was completely unclear.
"Oh my God... That number sixty, he... He... He moved. (To be continued.) )
