Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The sun hung high in the sky, pouring down the gentle light, and the entire Galaxy Plaza was unprecedentedly crowded, and even many residents who went in and out of shopping stopped to look at the front of the venue not far ahead.
The 7th Dongjiang City Culinary Competition, Nankai District Galaxy Audition.
The surging crowd and noisy sound made the front of the square extremely noisy, and the specific rest area already had chefs who had come here in advance to prepare, they were all about twenty-two or thirteen years old, all of them were in good spirits, wearing white snow uniforms and high hats, and when they sat in the rest area, their expressions were different, but without exception, every chef had a touch of expectation in their eyes.
As time passed, the crowd in front of the square became more and more majestic, and in the end, except for the specific entrance to the square, almost the periphery was filled with people who came to watch, and the noisy sound with the sound of whispering continued to sound from the crowd.
"It seems that there are more and more citizens who like food and cooking, and if you look at this flow of people, there are more than last year, but I don't know what kind of excitement this year's cooking competition will have."
"Anyway, let's just watch the fun, the dishes made by professional chefs don't have that condition at home, just have a good time here, who will let us have a good bite."
"Actually, the audition is not a big attraction, it's just to look at the basic skills, eliminate some indiscriminate filling, and go through the motions. In the end, those who were able to stay to participate in the official event, except for a few famous old and big restaurants, the rest of the chefs were able to barely squeeze into the finals, which is a great luck, but even if they entered, they were just cannon fodder. ”
"That's for sure, the number of entries in the big restaurants is three, and the remaining restaurants only have two places, even if they are cut according to the head, the rest must be the number of people in the big stores."
Noisy sound with whispering, constantly sounding in the Galaxy Plaza, with the passage of time, there are constantly some contestants coming, the back of the uniform, in addition to the number, but also marked with the name of the restaurant, so that people can identify their origin at a glance, and this is also a disguised advertising effect.
In front of the gate of the Yufu Building, the driver drove the car over, Yu Shao and Li Long walked out one after another, and Wang Ming and Wang Wendong also walked out of the gate of the Yufu Building.
"Let's go, get in the car."
Yu Shao took a deep breath, turned to the three of them and said, and then, took the lead in the co-pilot's position, and as for Wang Ming, the three of them sat down in the back row in turn, and slowly walked towards the place where the Galaxy Plaza was located as the car slowly started.
Wang Ming's eyes swept out the window, this kind of live broadcast of the game should be broadcast through the TV station, the house at home should be close to completion, he had already called before, and the customized furniture and appliances would also be sent to the new house one by one after the decoration, as for the competition, after chatting with his father Wang Zheng about the family affairs, Wang Ming chose to conceal it.
When he looked up, looking at the crowded Galaxy Square not far ahead, Wang Ming took a deep breath, and the milky white jade card on his chest diffused a burst of warmth, suppressing the mottled thoughts in his mind, and the heart gradually calmed down.
"When the audition starts later, don't be nervous, relax and relax, as long as you can qualify for the regular season, this hurdle will be passed perfectly."
Li Long whispered to the two, and then, the four of them followed the specific entrance, and after showing their qualification certificates, they saw Wang Ming and the two enter the rest area, Wang Wendong looked very excited, and his eyes swept over the rest of the contestants beside him from time to time, and Wang Ming closed his eyes slightly after entering it, and entered into a short adjustment.
As more and more contestants entered the rest area, time passed slowly, and finally, at the direction of two o'clock, the sound of urgency was heard from the large loudspeakers hanging in the four corners of the venue.
"All contestants, according to the name of their own restaurant, enter the assessment area, and the first part of the assessment will be carried out in five minutes."
In the middle of the broadcast, there was a sweet sound, which pulled everyone's thoughts back to reality, and in the rest area, there were as many as 100 contestants, all of whom got up one after another and walked slowly towards their respective areas.
Wang Wendong's eyes were with a hint of excitement and a hint of nervousness, and when he fell on Wang Ming, he looked at Wang Ming who slowly opened his eyes, grinned, and then the two of them walked slowly towards the center of the venue.
In the assessment venue, the first letter of the hotel is used as a distinction, and therefore, it is easy to distinguish, looking at the Y-shaped area not far ahead, the two walked slowly, and after a while, they came to the area to which they belonged.
Compared with the so-called King Chef Competition, today's venue is undoubtedly much more high-end, the entire assessment area is in the shape of a C-shape, and there are simple protective walls nearly two meters high on both sides of each assessment room, forming an independent operation space, although the area is slightly narrow, but if you are alone, it is enough.
In less than 10 square meters of space, the conditioning table, the vegetable pier are readily available, in front of the conditioning table, the wok belongs to the one-eyed stove, saving space at the same time, it does not prevent the assessor from using, and Wang Wendong entered the assessment seat respectively, Wang Ming entered the assessment room of No. 60, checking the furnishings inside, especially the condiments, is extremely careful, and on his right, is located in the assessment area where Wang Wendong is located on the 61st.
While many of the contestants participating in the audition were doing pre-exam checks, there was a sound in the direction of the broadcasting station again.
"Well, please be quiet, first of all, thank you friends from all walks of life for your attention to the Dongjiang catering industry, our Dongjiang City cooking competition, compared with the previous sessions, will be more stringent, in the way of survival of the fittest, to carry out a short and fast elimination method, mainly composed of three aspects."
As a young man in the referee's seat spoke, the hearty voice echoed in the Galaxy Square through the audio equipment hanging around, and the original noisy sound around it gradually faded away, and countless eyes were all condensed to the referee's seat.
"We all know that as an excellent chef, in addition to the knife processing and cooking skills, the first thing is to distinguish the raw materials, the same raw materials, different degrees of maturity, or different raw materials, have different processing methods, only to skillfully identify some basic raw materials, and clearly classify them, in order to make the best use of it, in the most suitable way of cooking, to cook it."
"And this first level, the test is your ability to discriminate, later, the display screen behind me, there will be some conventional or unconventional vegetables or meat, the contestants participating in the audition, you can show your brand to answer, the top 30 in the first round, can advance to the next round of the audition, and as for the others, they will be eliminated."
On the referee's seat, the middle-aged man said again, as his words fell, the originally silent crowd suddenly had a noisy sound again, even the many assessors who participated in the audition, most of their faces changed slightly, if they were asked to cut and cook, then it was not a big problem, but I didn't expect that this was just the assessment of the first level, but it was this kind of semi-theoretical topic, which made the expressions on most people's faces change.
"How so? I've never tested these things before, why is this time actually taking these tests? ”
"It's interesting, many people are learning with the master, for this theory, or the identification and reasonable arrangement of raw materials, most of them are enough to be able to answer, this seems to be the easiest introductory question, but it is directly brushed out of nearly 100 people, this audition, it seems to be more stringent than the previous ones."
On the audience's seat, everyone whispered, talking to each other, in the commentary, sitting in the third row of the participating restaurant area, Li Long's brows frowned slightly, and Yu Shao's face on the side also changed slightly, for some of the assessment topics of the chef Li Long and the focus of Wang Wendong's learning, Yu Shao had already asked, but the two still didn't expect that this time the assessment questions would be like this?
"I hope the two of them can squeeze into these thirty places smoothly."
Li Long said softly, as his voice fell, Yu Shao's face on the side changed slightly, and then he took a deep breath, and when his eyes fell on Li Long on the side, he was a little entangled.
"Master Li, is this first assessment question so difficult?"
Yu Shao's voice was a little puzzled in his ears, and Li Long fell silent, and then nodded slowly.
"Many people are in practice, for the characteristics of raw materials, but not so concerned, especially our second-level catering portal, even more so, for the two of them, maybe there will be no mistakes in the simple operation, but this basic knowledge assessment... But it's a little difficult. (To be continued.) )
