At seven o'clock on Monday night, Jiang Yichen and Ma Detao had dinner at the Dingxiangyuan main store, and then drove together to the workers' club auditorium on Wujiaqiao Avenue again.

The semi-finals of the culinary food competition will be held there tonight, and there are still four contestants left, including Zhao Hongsheng, all of whom are top chefs from the city.

Naturally, the tickets are still the sole responsibility of the belly round, until the finals.

Tiguan drove into the parking lot, there were obviously more cars today than last time, and it took a while to find a narrow empty space in one of the innermost corners.

Ma Detao asked Jiang Yichen to get out of the car first to help him watch, and then folded the mirrors on both sides, and rubbed the steering wheel several times before barely stuffing the Tiguan into the empty seat.

"Look at our craft, hehe, if there is a parking competition, we are also super level 3 players." Ma Detao emerged from the gap between the two cars and boasted triumphantly.

In today's metropolises, the number of cars is surging every year, and parking spaces are becoming more and more tight, so parking technology is also one of the essential survival skills of modern people.

"Cheng, I'm about to catch up with the level of the hotel doorman, I can go to work part-time." Jiang Yichen nodded in approval.

The two of them laughed and walked to the entrance of the auditorium, where they saw a round belly.

The belly round will distribute the tickets, which is really good, and it is still the VIP treatment in the second row. Everyone was very happy and walked to the ticket gate together.

At this moment, the round stomach suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter, what's the grind?" Ma Detao urged impatiently.

"Hey, look, isn't that Chef Zhao?" The belly is round, and the arm is stretched out, pointing to the east side of the empty field in front of the gate.

Jiang Yichen looked sideways, and sure enough, he saw a few people standing under a square lamppost about thirty meters away from him. What is being argued.

Through the illumination of the guò light, one of the middle-aged men in a blue-gray coat can be clearly distinguished, which is none other than the chef Zhao Hongsheng. There is another one next to him, short and fat, who looks like the boss Cui who said last time with a round belly.

Chef Zhao's affection is obviously wrong, and he has changed the calm and indifferent demeanor he saw in the past. At this moment, his face was angry, and his arms were waving, and his mouth seemed to be scolding the other two younger men. And the latter's posture should be an effort to justify.

"Hey, this old Zhao is also a violent temper, I thought it was a warm swallow." Ma Detao was surprised.

"Something seems to be in trouble." Round belly frowned.

"The fat man is also there, Lao Zhao shouldn't have a conflict with the boss for treatment, right? It's no wonder that they are all top four players, and the bull fork is up. Ma Detao used his imagination.

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't think Lao Zhao is like that kind of person. Again. If you want to make trouble, you should also make trouble in the boss's office, why do you come here? Jiang Yichen shook his head and categorically vetoed.

The three of them watched for a while, not knowing why. But at this time, people are solving problems internally, and as an outsider, it is obviously inconvenient to ask. So I had to enter first with questions.

In the auditorium hall, I saw that the audience seat was already full, and many staff members near the stage in front were nervously debugging the equipment, and the overall atmosphere was obviously much more lively than the last quarterfinals.

The three of them found a seat and sat down. Slowly eat the fruit on the table, waiting for the official start of the game.

Wide stage. There are only two sets of cooking facilities set up today, and it seems that the top four players should appear in pairs.

After a while, as the music sounded, the judges and guests attended and took their seats, and on the stage, two groups of contestants wearing white kitchen hats entered the first and second operation positions respectively.

The male and female hosts appeared on stage. After greeting everyone, the content and rules of the semi-finals will be read out.

The rules remain unchanged, the elimination system is still adopted, and according to the final total score, the top two players advance to the finals.

The theme of today's contest is seafood. There are two events in total, the main course is tuna sashimi, and there is a soup of your choice, all the ingredients are prepared by the contestants. The preparation time is one and a half hours.

Taking advantage of the time for the contestants to prepare, the host invited the president of the Municipal Gourmets Association to the stage to introduce the sashimi culture and historical background to the audience.

Sashimi, also known as sashimi, sashimi, and sashimi, refers to a dish in which fresh fish, shrimp and shellfish are cut into slices and eaten directly with seasonings. Originating in China, it was a common fish dish in ancient China, and later spread to Japan, the Korean Peninsula and other places, where it became very popular, and gradually formed a unique food culture.

Sashimi is simple to make and delicious to eat. From a nutritional point of view, sashimi is not cooked in the traditional cooking methods such as stir-frying, frying, and steaming, so there is no loss of nutrients at all, and it is an extremely nutritious dish. However, this kind of fresh food has extremely high requirements for hygienic conditions, and if it is not strictly treated, it can become the root cause of infectious diseases in people.

The ingredients suitable for sashimi are sea bream, tuna, flounder, bonito, salmon, sea bass, mullet and other marine fish, and tuna is one of the best, the meat is delicious, rich in essential amino acids, good taste, and has many functions such as beauty, liver protection, arteriosclerosis, and brain cell activation.

Regarding tuna, Jiang Yichen is no stranger.

It was still in May this year, when he cooperated with the dolphin Leqiu, coupled with the ability of the ice thorn, he caught a albacore tuna in the sea east of Yunsha Island, weighing more than 40 catties.

There have been attempts to make zuò sashimi, but the rest of the island seems to be less interested in this way except for stone carpenters. The fish body was cut into several large pieces and stored in the freezer, and later it became a favorite dish of the people, such as fried fish pieces and grilled fish pieces, which entered everyone's belly.

"It's so advanced, it's better than this today." Ma Detao sighed. Tuna is an expensive seafood ingredient, and it is a rich dish to make zuò sashimi.

"Of course, you can't always use ordinary ingredients for this kind of cooking competition. However, if you want to get a high score, the quality of the ingredients themselves must account for half of it, and it depends on who has the ability to get high-end goods. Round belly commented.

After the leader finished speaking, the competition officially began.

Both chefs and their assistants were nervously busy.

The competition scene is still exciting, and the players' knife skills and creativity have been frequently applauded by the audience.

However, Jiang Yichen seemed a little absent-minded, and the discordant episode he had just seen outside the auditorium came to his mind from time to time.

Even Ma Detao did the same, watched the game for a while, then turned his head to the round stomach and said:

"Hey, you said Lao Zhao wouldn't pick a son today, right? Then this game is not much to see. ”

There are only four players left, and if one more person of interest is absent, the excitement of the match will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Hearing this, he looked at the guest seat, but he still hadn't seen the short and fat Boss Cui, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart. (To be continued......)
