Chapter 121: The Finals
The next morning, the scene of the cooking competition.
Yuan Wenguang was very confident this time, so he deliberately found the location of Jiangbian and Yan Yuan. Triumphant in front of the two of them.
"Yan Yuan, I think you should quit as soon as possible, where will there be an ordinary player in the final stage? At your level, that is, the life of driving a food stall on the road, to such a big occasion, you can only make a fool of yourself. As a friend and competitor, I don't want my competitors to lose my share too much. Yuan Wenguang teased.
"Yuan Wenguang, I used to think that although you were short-sighted, it was basically normal, but now it seems that you are not a problem of vision, but a problem with IQ. Why don't you think about it, we can get an invitation directly instead of going through the qualifiers? Yan Yuan said.
"What else! Not everyone who gets an invitation will come to participate in such a competition, and Chef Fei was originally reluctant to come, but for the prestige of our Tianlong Restaurant, he came out to participate in this cooking competition. So when you get the invitation, you get it from people who don't want to come to the cooking competition. In addition, it is not excluded that you can use your family connections to get an invitation directly from the Culinary Association. In addition to these two paths, I really can't think of a third. Yuan Wenguang said.
Yan Yuan shook his head and said impatiently, "Forget it, I don't need to tell you so much!" See you at the end! You'd better count on Feiqi Water not to run into us too soon! ”
Yuan Wenguang laughed and said, "I was really laughed to death by you!" I don't know how thick the sky is, and I want to participate in the cooking competition with a secret recipe. Even if you make it out in the first round, how many rounds will you be lucky enough to make it to? ”
Jiang Bian sat on the side all the time, quietly looking at the stage, as if he was not affected at all, which made Yan Yuan very strange, "Brother, you can really sit still!" So noisy, you are not affected? ”
Jiangbe smiled, "What is this?" The animals in the countryside are so noisy! But even if I slept next to the pigsty, I could sleep. ”
Yan Yuan was immediately laughed at Jiangbian's words, and Yuan Wenguang could only stare at Jiangbian, it was really not good.
Yuan Wenguang didn't dare to attack, although Jiangbian's body didn't have bulging muscles, but that strong body was not something that he Yuan Wenguang could shake.
In order to facilitate the televised arrangement, four players compete together in each round, so that the TV audience can watch all the players in detail.
Man Qing actually became the host of the live broadcast of Qiantang TV this time, although she has read and interviewed major news events many times, but as a supporter of the live broadcast, it is the first time for her.
However, Man Qing's popularity is good, and as soon as he came on stage, he immediately won warm applause from the audience.
Xia, the partner who hosted the cooking competition together, said with a smile, "Man Qing, look, as soon as you, the most beautiful anchor, came on stage, you won the light of the cooking competition, which is unbelievable!" ”
"Where! This is what the audience is looking forward to this cooking competition, and as soon as they see our two hosts coming up, they know that the cooking competition is about to start. Do you like cooking in the summer? "Man Qing is already very experienced on stage, like a fish in water, like a small talk, talking and laughing like summer on stage.
"I like it, but we don't have much time to study cooking, otherwise I would definitely sign up for it this time. But when it's time to take a vacation, I like to make something delicious at home, and I will tell you quietly that my cooking skills are very good! Summer laughed.
"Well, if you have a chance, you must go to your house to eat. I also like to cook, but I like to eat food, and when it comes to cooking, it's seven tricks to six tricks. Manqing smiled.
"Haha, okay, okay, you little glutton! But for now, let's put this issue aside, the audience will definitely be in a hurry. First of all, we would like to introduce you to all of you today. ”
Next, Manqing and Summer took turns to introduce some of the leaders, guests, and judges present one by one. Contestants will only be introduced when it is time to appear.
Due to the large number of participants, the program arrangement of the TV station is also taken into account. So this round is divided into two games. Each game is played in four groups.
Kawabe was in the fourth group, and naturally played in the first game.
After the introduction, Man Qing looked at the audience and the contestants and said with a smile, "It seems that our audience friends are very much looking forward to the upcoming cooking competition, and our contestants are already gearing up and ready to perform on stage." Okay, then Summer and I will hand over this stage to our contestants right away! We asked the top four players from the first group to wait. ”
Yuan Wenguang's chef Fei Qishui is No. 27, divided into the first group, and he will compete at the beginning. This Fei Qi Shui is an old chef who is cunning and cunning, and naturally he has already seen that this year's cooking competition is biased towards the famous dishes of Qiantang, so in the first round of the competition, he chose the traditional famous dish of fire heel fairy duck as his entry topic.
Yuan Wenguang also likes to be in the limelight, and he himself appears as Fei Qishui's assistant. However, Fei Qishui is an experienced chef, and he basically doesn't need Yuan Wenguang to do much.
In order to make this traditional dish, Fei Qi put a lot of effort into the water, the duck used is a free-range duck bought directly from the countryside with great effort, and the heel is the ham made by himself, and the rice wine used is also the old rice wine brewed by traditional technology. He used all the materials he used. It's just that there are no accidents in this round of knockouts.
Fei Qishui is very skilled to cut open the duck that has been dehaired, make a small horizontal opening on the tail tip of the back, take out the internal organs, dig out the duck cheek and wash it, and cut it straight on the back. The whole process is done in one go, without any mud and water, and it looks like an experienced chef.
"Chef Fei is also an old acquaintance, and an old chef of this level can participate in this cooking competition, which adds a lot of gold to the cooking competition. If you look at his handling of ingredients, he looks like an experienced chef. This is something that the younger generation of chefs should learn from. The dish he made today is also the more famous fire heel fairy duck among the famous dishes in Qiantang. This dish is more about the level of ingredients and heat control. However, for a chef like Feiqi Water, there is not much difficulty. "The experts present are all familiar with the water of Feiqi.
Watching Fei Qishui proceed step by step in an orderly manner, Yuan Wenguang stood aside very proudly, not caring at all about his identity as a supporting role at this time. Cooperate with Fei Qi water very carefully, of course, there are not many things he needs to do, which is to take a ginger and garlic, take a soup spoon and the like.
The players in the same group as Fei Qishui, No. 56, No. 48, and No. 36, all rushed out of the qualifiers. Although the strength is good, there is still a certain gap in experience compared with Fei Qishui.
The No. 56 contestant makes Zhuge grilled fish, and the core of this Zhuge grilled fish is also a secret recipe. It is said that this Zhuge grilled fish is Zhuge Liang's favorite dish, so it is named Zhuge grilled fish. However, the secret recipe used by the No. 56 player was researched by himself.
He was originally a fan of the Three Kingdoms, but also a cooking enthusiast, and after consulting a lot of information, he used a large number of traditional Chinese medicines and after many trials to formulate unique ingredients. It is said that the taste is extremely unique.
The judging expert praised, "We are used to the taste of Zhuge grilled fish, and no one has ever wanted to re-study such a famous dish." But the No. 56 player gave us another version of Zhuge grilled fish, although there are some minor deficiencies in the details, but it gives us new ideas. At the same time, it also shows that even famous dishes are not immutable flavors. There is still room for improvement. ”
Those who can enter the finals have good food in their hands. Contestant No. 48 and Contestant No. 36, although they are both players who have no secret recipes, their accomplishments in cooking skills are not low. They have all chosen to make a very innovative twist on the traditional dish. It has also won praise from the jury experts.
"I think this time, our contestants are very thoughtful in their cooking skills, some of them are researching secret recipes, and some are researching new cooking techniques. No. 48 and No. 36 are also very good, the same traditional dishes, but they give us a refreshing feeling, although there are still some areas worth improving, but this spirit of innovation is worth learning. Only by learning and carrying forward the traditional culinary skills can the fine tradition of Chinese cuisine be carried forward. The jury experts said.
The time when the dishes of the four people are made is naturally not exactly the same, in order not to affect the change of color and flavor, whoever comes out first will score whose dishes.
Feiqi Water's Fire Heel Fairy Duck was the last to appear, and after tasting it, the judges were full of praise.
Fei Qi Shui directly brought the original pot to the table, and only when he arrived on the table did he remove the lid of the pot. The milky white soup in the pot kept tumbling, and the pleasant aroma came to the nose. The red and fragrant fire heel, the tender and oily fat duck, the color is bright, and it is very appetizing.
"Well, yes, very good, just by looking at the color and aroma of this dish, I am already salivating. Uh-huh, I can't resist wanting to take a bite first. Not bad! This ingredient matches the taste of the fairy duck very well, and the contestants also control the heat of this dish very properly! This duck meat is extremely smooth and delicate, and it seems that the ingredients are quite exquisite! The judges were amazed after tasting it.
The ginger is still old and spicy, and Fei Qishui's final score is the highest among the four. Scored 95 points. That's already a pretty good score.
Player No. 56 scored 90 points with his secret recipe, while No. 48 and No. 36 scored 85 and 87 points respectively. Judging from the current situation, there will not be much problem for Feiqi Water to qualify from the group.
The rating of the first contestant often becomes the criterion for the overall rating of the competition.
Yuan Wenguang immediately walked over to the place where Yan Yuan and the river were sitting as soon as he got off the stage, and said arrogantly, "You saw it?" Coming out of this group is a game for us. But you guys? I think it's better not to make a fool of yourself on stage. Even if you can get 90 points like No. 56 and qualify from the group, do you think you will be able to continue to be lucky when it comes to the knockout round? Why waste that time? ”
