Out of some obvious inevitability, when Yi Baitang found his seat, Kong Haolin's name was written on the left position, and Jiang Xue's name was written on the right position.

He had just sat down in the rather chaotic crowd, and the tall girl who had spent the last seventeen minutes of the race getting the entries together was sitting on his right hand.

Jiang Xue, who was seated, glanced at the name written in front of Yi Baitang's seat, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she generously stretched out her hand to Yi Baitang:

"Chef Yi, I've heard of you."

“…… Oh. Yi Baitang glanced at Jiang Xue's name, "I haven't heard of you." ”

Kook. Jiang Xue silently withdrew her hand, secretly a little angry, and sat down by herself.

Neither of them spoke anymore, quietly waiting for the crowd in front of them to find their own positions, until the crowd found their own directions, and after they were almost scattered, the left position was occupied by the little fat man.

As soon as he sat down, the little fat man sniffed Yi Baitang and said, "You smell delicious......

Yi Baitang was cold: "You can't eat it." ”

Jiang Xue looked shocked, and her face was full of "What are you talking about?" ”

The little fat man scratched his head, laughed, looked at the tall girl through Yi Baitang, and sniffed it from a distance: "You-um-"

Jiang Xue was also cold: "What do you want to say?" ”

Little Fat Man: "You have a mechanical smell on you......"

The girl was for a second! I can't tell if I'm more angry when he says it's fragrant, or if I'm more angry now.

But now this occasion is obviously not suitable for an argument with a fat man, she finally gave the fat man a white look, sat down with her arms folded angrily, and said secretly:

I thought Yi Baitang hated it just now, it turned out that the little fat man was the most annoying, the most annoying!

During the conversation between the three of them, all the chefs sat down according to their positions, and the judges were about to move on to the next part of the competition, when one of the chefs stood up and spoke:

"How can such a scoring model ensure fairness? What if the people at the table are connected to give the most threatening dishes a low score? ”

"It's really a problem." Jiang Xue also stood up, "I want to know, does the presiding committee have a mechanism to prevent such a likely problem?" ”

"Regarding this issue-" Senior Brother Jiang's face did not change, he had expected this scene when the main committee was meeting, "In addition to the contestants present scoring and evaluating each other, the main committee also specially invited a well-known state banquet-level chef to taste your food, and he will also give his own evaluation; In the unlikely event that there is too much difference between the two of you, the committee will directly intervene in the investigation and give the cheater a warning at its discretion. ”

The scoring system was fairly fair, and the chefs who thought they were doing a good job no longer had any worries and sat back and waited to taste the dishes of the other contestants.

After about a few minutes of waiting, a plate of delicacies was brought to the table, a total of ten chapters of tables, each chapter table of ten people, each of whom rated ten dishes.

What about other tables, Yi Baitang didn't know.

But when the dish came to his table, the corners of Yi Baitang's eyebrows suddenly moved: the small jar of beef stew he made was among the ten dishes.

He swept away the rest of the dishes except his own dish, and saw that most of the remaining nine dishes were shark fin, bird's nest, crab and lobster, even if it was not this kind of treasure, it was also a meat dish such as beef and chicken, except for a plate of white tofu, which looked very different.

Yi Baitang aimed at this plate of tofu.

The crystal clear tofu is cold, but the filling inside still maintains the heat when the oil pot was first raised.

Yi Baitang tasted it.

He raised an eyebrow.

Taste - very good.

A plate of simple home-cooked dishes, add a little more salt, add a drop of wine, add a touch of onions, garlic and ginger and other accessories.

Yi Baitang picked up the score sheet from the table and wrote on it:

Tofu with minced meat.

Jiang Xue next to her was a little uncomfortable after seeing her tofu being served on the table.

She pretended to be casual, and put a piece of braised pork on the whole table that tasted the opposite of her own tofu into the bowl, and at the same time secretly observed Yi Baitang, who picked up the tofu she made for the first time, and saw that the other party wrote that line on the paper, and suddenly felt tight.

Angry, I took the name and put it on the plate, what kind of tofu with meat filling, obviously it is white jade Huaizhu!

But then, she saw the score that Yi Baitang gave herself.

Eight points.

Not bad.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did she really have the heart to taste the braised pork that had just been sandwiched into the bowl.

After taking a bite, the nose tastes first, and the overflowing flavor of the sauce is the first to arouse the gluttonous insects that are still sleeping in the human body, so that the saliva in the mouth is secreted in large quantities, and the teeth and tongue are wet. Then, when the teeth are really bitten, the fat but not greasy, thin but not woody pieces of meat are immediately tasted by the tip of the tongue to taste a rich taste, oil, salt, sugar and a little vinegar, layer by layer of taste as if brushed on the tongue, and then they ferment together on the tongue, becoming a new and plump taste.

30 grams of rock sugar.

3 grams of salt.

Light soy sauce 6 ml.

Dark soy sauce: 0.25 ml.

Aniseed......

Jiang Xuezai chewed the meat carefully and carefully.

There are a total of five star anise of 3 grams, a total of 15 grams, and the error is no more than 0.3 grams!

She gave her assessment in her heart.

Eight points, a good score.

The next second, she turned her attention to the second dish she was about to taste, a beef stew in a casserole.

The strong aroma of beef has been faintly floating from the beginning, not like the braised pork she just tasted, just served so fragrant that everyone on the table can smell it, hooking people with cravings in the stomach, but that unique, special taste seems to be able to drill into the human body, from just now, it makes people have a feeling that the more they don't eat, the more they want to eat!

Jiang Xue was a little itchy.

She silently picked a piece of half-tendon and half-meat beef, which was the standard two-centimeter size, half-buried in the thick soup, revealing the tendons like transparent milk jelly, just like the sharp corners of the small lotus, which has given people a glimpse of the fragrance of lotus seeds when they are ripe.

I didn't want the chopsticks to touch the piece of beef, and a pair of chopsticks were inserted into the oblique thorn, and they hit her directly!

Jiang Xue looked up and saw that it was none other than the little fat man who was in a position away from her!

New hatred and old hatred, her brows furrowed: "This is what I like!" ”

The little fat man was still a little embarrassed, but when he heard this, he was not very happy, everyone loves good food, and there is no label of your family on the table, he hummed and said: "This piece of meat tendon is five points of meat." ”

Jiang Xue sneered: "It weighs thirty grams, and the error does not exceed three grams before and after." ”

The little fat man was taken aback, and the chick in his heart was quite powerful, his nose twitched again, and a wisp of fragrance from the beef was deeply inhaled by him into the end of his nose: "This plate of beef stew is added with garlic, green onions, ginger, and peppercorns...... Well? Well? ”

He sniffed for a long time, and suddenly realized that his tried and tested nose seemed to be a little wrong today.

He sniffed all the delicacies before, and the strong aroma of the food was automatically analyzed by his sense of smell, and the same materials were automatically classified.

But now, the fragrance he smelled seemed to be integrated, as if it was an iron wall, wrapping himself tightly and refusing to be analyzed by him!

Don't let me get too far away from that plate of beef stew.

The little fat man was drumming in his heart, and he didn't care about arguing with Jiang Xue, so he hurriedly changed a piece of beef that looked quite beautiful and sandwiched it in front of his nose, and took a deep breath!

Then there was a "click".

He wanted to cry without tears to find that he really couldn't analyze the raw materials used in this thick incense, they didn't seem to be one, but really one.

But that's not right.

How could anyone be able to combine all kinds of food perfectly?

He glanced left and right in a panic, and always felt that at this moment, his golden finger seemed to have been taken away by someone, and there was a sense of uneasiness all over his body, and it happened that at this time, Jiang Xue also grabbed the piece of meat that he was satisfied with, and was glancing at the little fat man obliquely, with a little pride in his eyes.

The little fat man's head was hot, and he didn't care that it was impossible for people to know what he was thinking, and blurted out: "There should be - there should be - hawthorn in it?" ”

When the words fell, Yi Baitang, who had slowly eaten the dishes on the table and had already rated all kinds of scores, finally set his eyes on the two beside him.

There was a little inconspicuous wonder on his face, and he thought to himself:

It's a coincidence that the person sitting next to me has a smart nose and good eyesight, so he should be considered two of the more powerful in this game.

Hmm――

On this table, the braised pork and tofu are also not bad.

Luckily, today's game wasn't too boring.

Yi Baitang was secretly a little satisfied, and spooned another spoonful of tofu and meat. The surrounding dishes circled, and the tofu and meat made by Jiang Xue had already been eaten, and he saw something in the center with another spoonful.

At this moment, the people at the table were slightly stunned.

Without him, the tofu dug to the middle is actually different, only to see the most central position actually plugged with a small boxy winter melon, the surface of the winter melon peeled is a color with the tofu, but the lower half is a few simple strokes, carved out of the Big Dipper Seven Stars that echo each other, is echoing the name of this dish "White Jade Huaizhu", which is also ingenious.

But all the chefs present, what should everyone do after being slightly stunned, if you want to say how amazing, it really isn't.

On the entire table, except for Yi Baitang, who looked at the Big Dipper Seven Star Bead more and snorted lightly, Jiang Xue was completely stupid.

Others don't know, she knows!

When she sat on this dish, in order to eat it while it was hot, she didn't carve any Big Dipper stars and stuffed it into it!

So how did this thing come to be out of thin air?

"You say," suddenly someone at the table said, "how many judges are eating our food this time?" It won't be like the previous one, there are not enough people, and when it is the turn of some people, the dish will already be cold, right? ”

These words came in time, and after being reminded like this, Jiang Xue, who was still suspicious just now, was like an enlightenment, and instantly understood: the feelings are that the judges in the background divided a small piece of her dish for scoring, and it was not good to bring the missing piece of the dish to the table, so I deliberately found something to stuff it in, and specially carved the pattern to disguise it as a small bright spot.

Jiang Xue was very grateful and secretly decided:

I don't know which judge is so good, I must ask when this competition is over!

As soon as she thought of this, someone answered:

"No, I look at this year's King Chef Competition, the main committee is quite attentive, the same method will not be used a second time, I guess we have finished the evaluation here, and they have almost finished the evaluation there-"

On the rostrum of the venue, on the long table of the judges' seats, plates of small portions of food were placed in front of the judges like water, and each of the nine judges had a bottle of mineral water, which was used to rinse their mouths when they tasted dishes with too heavy taste.

Among the group, there were two other people who were also sitting here, but there was no food in front of them, it was Old Man Dong and Shang Huaiyan.

Shang Huaiyan, an outsider who got the status of a judge through the relationship, also said that for Old Man Dong, from Senior Brother Jiang to the rest of the judges, there are a hundred willing old people to be able to eat two chopsticks casually, and then comment on them, so that they can also learn two tricks.

But apparently Old Man Dong didn't have this idea. In addition to the handle when he first divided the food, he sat in his own position, and he didn't know where he found a big fan.

It wasn't until several rounds of dishes on a table were rounded, and on the small white round plate, the beef made by Yi Baitang was also served, that the old man was idle and quietly talked to Shang Huaiyan:

"Can you guess which plate in this line is made of sugar candy?"

Shang Huaiyan understood the old man's suspicion very well, smiled without saying a word, and only used his chin to order the beef in the middle.

The old man couldn't hide his surprise: "Can you actually see it?" ”

Shang Huaiyan is modest and low-key: "I have a little intuition after eating for a long time. ”

The old man smiled: "You are compatible." ”

Shang Huaiyan continued to be humble and low-key: "Where, the dishes made by sugar and sugar are very unique, and others can't imitate them." ”

The old man's puff fan in his hand stopped, and he said as if talking to himself: "Yes, everyone has their own characteristics and taste......

Shang Huaiyan looked at the old man sitting beside him, only to see a smile on the corner of the other party's lips, but his eyes were quite distant, as if he had thought of something.

His heart moved, and he guessed that Bai Tang's grandfather might have remembered his daughter who had not been heard from for 20 years and finally appeared.

But the old man's distraction was only for a moment, and in the next second, the pu fan in the old man's hand continued to sway, and the smile on the corner of his lips deepened a little, and said, "Do you know why I insist that the cooking of the heart is the best cuisine?" ”

Shang Huaiyan pondered for a moment and shook his head honestly.

The old man smiled slightly:

"Because time flies, the big waves wash the sand, and every qiē will fade, and in the end, what flashes in the memory is always that sincere emotion."

By the time all the dishes had been tasted by the nine judges, it was already half an hour after the competition ended.

The contestants had already left half an hour ago, and the judges filled out the evaluation form one by one, summarized it into the hands of the chief judges, and left from the exclusive channel one after another.

Senior Brother Jiang, as the chief judge, naturally went to the end, but as soon as he arrived at the underground parking lot from the passage, he saw the boxy pillars, and a fat shadow suddenly flashed, rushed straight in front of him, and shouted:

"Daddy—"

A voice makes people tremble.

Senior Brother Jiang was almost not frightened, and took a closer look through the light of the underground garage, and rushed over to hug his leg, wasn't it the little fat man who was favored by the chairman committee before?

He smiled bitterly: "I don't have a son as young as you!" Then he asked, "What is the matter?" ”

The little fat man smiled, and couldn't wait to ask: "Today I ate a plate of beef stew on the table, and the name of the dish is beef stew——"

Senior Brother Jiang is righteous and strict: "I won't tell you who made this dish!" ”

The little fat man hurriedly said: "I didn't let you make a mistake, I just want to know, his level is not ordinary, right?" Is it like me, who was directly invited to the King of Chef play-offs? ”

Senior Brother Jiang smiled: "This can be sued by you, that's right." ”

The little fat man couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Did your invitation to me count before that?" ”

Senior Brother Jiang: "Count." ”

Little Fat Man: "Okay, okay, then I promise!" When are the play-offs? ”

Senior Brother Jiang: "It's been a month since the official start. ”

A month later, the final results of the King of Chef Contest will be known.

The tournament is for all the people and major hotels in the country.

And the play-offs are events for his master to find a successor to the mantle.

The former will play a special role, and after 90% of the candidates are eliminated in these shows, the following shows will also be broadcast by major TV stations to expose them to the end, so that the chefs who finally won the top three will become famous, fame and fortune.

And this is not suitable for the little ones who are favored by them.

After all, children are not determined, in case they win the award and feel that they are invincible in the world, and when they see that there is an internationally renowned hotel to hire them with high salaries, they will immediately fly away...... When the time comes, will they block or not? No matter how you choose, it doesn't look perfect. So instead of waiting until that time to passively make a selection, it is better to finalize the matter early and draw the best ones first.

Senior Brother Jiang looked stern and serious, and only after watching the little fat man who didn't feel anything wrong leave with a thousand thanks, did he show a little wicked smile.

He was in a good mood, turned around and walked in the direction where his car was parked, while thinking in his heart: just after the game, the little junior brother had already turned his mouth and said that he had found a gourmand to give a place, and now the little fat man participated in the play-offs because of the dishes made by the little junior brother, and saw that two of the three good eggs had been put into the basket, and the last one left, as long as he pondered and pondered, eighty percent would not be able to escape from the palm of his hand-

Senior Brother Jiang used the key to open the car lock, and when he was about to get into the car, a black shadow flashed behind the pillar in front of him.

But this sudden black shadow looked quite slim, and it was not as impatient as the little fat man just now.

Senior Brother Jiang was born and cooked twice, and when he looked at this person, he found that he was talking about something, wasn't this the last good egg he was thinking about just now?

He opened his mouth and didn't say anything else, but said seriously: "Little girls don't stay alone in the underground garage, it's not safe!" ”

Jiang Xue, who had been waiting in the underground garage for a long time, just wanted to speak, but she was stunned for a moment, and sighed again, deeply feeling that this time to participate in the King of Chef Competition was a very correct choice, and she met good people all the way!

She said, "Thank you, the judges. Chief judge, in fact, I came here to ask who carved the winter melon and stuffed it into the dish I made before......"

Senior Brother Jiang snorted: "I can't sue you about this." ”

Jiang Xue was sincere: "I just want to say thank you." ”

Senior Brother Jiang said casually: "He doesn't need your thanks." ”

Jiang Xue: "Old man? ”

Senior Brother Jiang: Wait, I lost my word.

Jiang Xue sensitive: "I remember that there seems to be no one older than you in the judging panel this time." ”

Senior Brother Jiang: "Uh......"

Jiang Xue: "Other judges have other competition venues to be responsible for, so they shouldn't come to the venue." ”

Senior Brother Jiang: "This ......"

Jiang Xue: "I think that as a national competition, the competition venue should not allow irrelevant people to come and go at will, and those hotel owners or well-known domestic chefs who will come to the competition site to pick people should not come so early." ”

Senior Brother Jiang was speechless, and in a trance, he seemed to have returned to the situation of facing Shang Huaiyan during the day.

He was a little worried, the little girl in front of him wouldn't tell the story in the next sentence, right? If you really say it, although no one knows, it's really a mistake if it's not big or small!

In the next second, Jiang Xue blinked, suddenly smiled sweetly, stopped talking about the previous topic, and said: "Chief judge, does the invitation to the play-offs given to me by the main committee still count?" ”

Senior Brother Jiang: "Count!" He added, "You're going straight to the play-offs, too?" ”

Jiang Xue nodded happily: "Originally, I thought that the King of Chef play-offs had a good name, but in fact, we were isolated separately to make a talent reserve." ”

Senior Brother Jiang's heart was weak for a while.

Jiang Xue said again: "But then I found out that I should be the only one who is a talent reserve, so it doesn't matter, I will withdraw from the King of Chefs competition first, and wait directly for the play-offs after the competition." She finally smiled politely, "Goodbye, judge." ”

Senior Brother Jiang: "Go back early, be careful on the road." ”

He finally got into the car, took a long breath, turned on the lights, looked at the road ahead, and thought:

The children of this year are almost becoming fine.

Anyway, I've got things done, and now I'm finally left with the last most important thing!
