Chapter 335: A Feast of Food Outside the Venue
The judges were puzzled, but the contestants were even more confused. As a senior chef, his work was praised by others, obviously displeased, and even angry.
If you are not a beginner, the seasoning is not accurate, and the taste will be different. The current contestants, except for a few exceptions, are either years old, or with their eyes closed, they can't fry vegetables, and they can't eat too many seasonings.
Doubts are doubts, anger is anger, everyone still stepped forward in person, brought down their dishes, and prepared to taste them carefully, what went wrong.
Gao Wei is an old chef, although he is only forty-two years old this year, but in the culinary industry, he has been working hard for nearly 25 years, and he has a large group of apprentices and grandchildren. Gao Wei didn't want to participate in the competition, but he couldn't bear the kindness of his apprentices, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to carry forward the essence of Lu cuisine, so that more people could understand and like Lu cuisine.
It's a pity that this is only the second level, and Gao Wei feels that something is going to be wrong. Sure enough, as soon as the work was served, it was returned and unqualified, because it was too salty, even saltier than pickles.
Gao Wei was surprised, although he was a little older, he had not yet reached the point of being dizzy with old eyes, and how much salt should be put would definitely not be wrong. Even if you put a little more on your own, it won't be saltier than pickles.
Gao Wei didn't speak with a gloomy face, but his apprentices couldn't bear it.
"How is it possible, our master has been cooking for more than 20 years, and no one has ever said such a thing." A little apprentice said indignantly that this was impossible.
"That is, there must be a cat on the judges' side, and if we are beaten out, then the champion must be decided." The other apprentice had a hot temper and turned around to go to the judges to have a theory. Fortunately, he was pulled by Gao Wei, otherwise if he passed like this, there might be some chaos, and even if it was reasonable, it would become unreasonable.
"Alas, master, look. There is still a lot of salt in your dish, and if it has not been melted, someone must have framed you." The little apprentice had sharp eyes and noticed an abnormality.
"Let's go, forget it, let's go back"! Gao Wei said in a deep voice, ready to give up.
Originally, Gao Wei didn't plan to come to the competition, at least to promote Lu cuisine. Now that such a thing has happened, I don't feel in the mood at all.
In fact, mood is also very important for chefs. The mood of the chef will also affect the quality of the dish.
"Master"! A few apprentices were unwilling and just left?
"Why, I don't listen to anything"? Gao Wei shouted angrily, and the next few people didn't dare to speak again.
The entire venue. There are too many cases like Gao Wei, too many to count. Some are discouraged. Like Gao Wei, he left in a huff, and there were also hot-tempered people who went to find the judges to theorize.
There are also some people who like to be lively, and they are actually taking the opportunity to make things bigger. All at once the whole arena. It has become a vegetable market, with scolding, theories, and sighs. It's chaotic.
Li Jing is in a good mood, although he is the president of the Chefs Association, but in front of the Li family, it is not worth mentioning at all.
And the third young master of the Li family actually came to visit him for a trivial matter, it was simply a chance to give himself a chance to hug his thighs!
Although his surname is also Li, he has nothing to do with the Li family in the capital at all. But now that the opportunity has come, as long as there is contact, Li Jing believes that with his experience of climbing up the pole, he will definitely be able to reach the big tree of the Li family.
A little Wang Haiming, who has no background, is stuck if he is stuck, what's the big deal.
Despite that, Li Jing still personally ordered Wang Haiming to not even pass the preliminary round. It's a pity that Li Jing's good mood didn't last, and seeing the noisy arena, Li Jing felt that his head was big.
"How did it become like this, what about the rules, what about the order, what about the security". Li Jing is very busy, although he is qualified to be the president of the chef association, there are still many predators in the chef industry, and he can't afford to mess with him.
Even if the predators didn't come, their friends, apprentices, might be here. There is no inability to reconcile these relationships, Li Jing feels that he, the president, can be regarded as the end.
The arena was extremely chaotic, and the culprit Wang Haiming had already fled before he could.
However, Wang Haiming is still quite busy now, because he is cooking, what dish, a big meal.
Wang Haiming was in a wooden shed, lighting a raging fire, the flames jumped as high as an adult, a tall wood with noodles, wearing a behemoth, isn't it, not a pig, not a cow, but a rare camel.
The two ends are constantly tumbling, the roast is creaking, and the aroma is overflowing. As time passed, the roasted camel became more and more fragrant, not only the chefs who came in, but also some passers-by????
The aroma of this barbecue is more mouth-watering than ordinary dishes, and the fragrance of this roast camel is even more crazy, and many people's mouths are gradually trembling, and they have said: "This roast camel is really fragrant!" ”
However, what everyone did not expect was that this was only the beginning, and later, the fragrance became more and more intense, sweeping the entire street like a stormy wave, and it was endless, one after another, and it was out of control.
Before Wang Haiming, I asked Zhang Wei and a few people to invite these unsuccessful chefs over, and they were treated.
In fact, Wang Haiming also wanted to take this opportunity to respond fiercely to the president of the chef association and the Li family who were making small moves behind the scenes.
What is this competition relying on, it's not these chefs. If the chefs don't come to the competition, no matter how you brag about it, the competition won't start, which can be regarded as Wang Haiming's small revenge.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a lot of people to come one after another. In fact, most of the chefs still like to eat and drink, and now there are people who have treats, and when they are frustrated, it is not bad to drink a little wine.
Moreover, Zhang Wei and the others also have certain skills in pulling people, that is, pulling people they are familiar with, and these familiar people will then pull the people they are familiar with, so there are more and more people.
Incredible!
It's incredible!
Everyone is a cook, and it is no wonder that roasting camels is also the same as they have heard, but I have never seen a camel that can roast such a fragrance. Waiting is already torturous enough, however, the feeling of waiting for the food, that is conceivable!
Someone at this time? frowned and said, "Brother, you said it was a treat, but just this dish, how can there be so many people?" ”
Wang Haiming said without hesitation: "Definitely enough." ”
This camel is big enough, but you must know that there are a lot of people here, and it is impossible to distinguish it by visual inspection, but everyone saw what Wang Haiming said with determination, and thought, is there still a subtlety in it.
Thinking of this, everyone is more and more curious, and they can't wait to go into battle themselves and roast this camel quickly.
The fire was roasting the camels, but it was undoubtedly tormenting the hearts of the people.
After a long wait, this roasted camel was finally served.
A gleam flashed in everyone's eyes at the same time. In fact, at this time, some people who are proficient in barbecue have already guessed Wang Haiming's methods, but that is also quite expected, this dish is not something that anyone can make.
Sure enough, when Wang Haiming cut the belly of the camel, a burst of fragrance hit him like a huge wave, almost knocking the people around him down, and when he looked at it, he saw that there was a large roast sheep inside.
An exclamation rang out!
"No wonder it just looks. This camel was the size of this sheep. Someone muttered to himself.
Is it ready to eat?
Such a question arose in everyone's minds at the same time.
But as the saying goes, is it good to grind good things???? Wang Haiming still didn't stop, breaking the sheep from the abdomen, and the action was extremely slow.
There was another uproar!
But I saw that this king-sized goat's belly contained twenty medium-sized chickens.
Now you can always start eating!
What, wait? Slowly break open a chicken, but see that the chicken is full of golden rice, almonds, and pine nuts.
It's finally coming to an end! You can't break the rice.
Everyone waited and really wanted to buy a piece of tofu and died.
Although everyone is a chef, there are really not many people who know about this dish. Wang Haiming put a clip into the rice, and after a while, he caught a pigeon.
The crowd was completely numb, and the worms in their stomachs had starved to death in a moment.
Due to the increasing number, Zhang Wei and several people came over to be helpers.
Someone was very angry, and seemed to be consumed with this dish, and said angrily: "If you have the ability, you can continue to hide, we will wait here, even if you cut until tomorrow morning." As soon as he finished speaking, several people with a knife in their hands broke open the abdomen of twenty pigeons at the same time, and took out a small fish from it.
At this time, everyone has stopped talking and quietly waits for the final result. I saw a few people take the fish and break them open, and take an oval object from it.
This thing is the most familiar to everyone, it is the quail egg. It's finally over, and everyone is relieved, which makes me feel even more tiring than what I did. Without Wang Haiming's greeting, everyone has already stepped forward to taste these delicacies.
"Brother Wang's cooking skills can be described as the pinnacle, which is enviable." Although Gao Wei thinks that he is quite proficient in Lu cuisine, he has to accept it now.
"Hehe, you may not know that at my level, I didn't even pass the preliminary round and audition, and I was luckier than everyone else." As soon as Wang Haiming's words came out, it was really scolding. Everyone is angry with a belly, and it's really a pot that can't be opened.
"Everyone be quiet, what their level is, everyone knows best, but the competition party actually made such a despicable act, it is simply to treat us as fools, what is the use of such a competition, it is better not to participate."
"That's it, that's it, it's not coming in the future."
"Well, it's better to be at home."
"Whatever broken association is a lie."
As soon as Wang Haiming's words came out, everyone unanimously agreed, it was unfair, who would come in the future. Wang Haiming snickered mysteriously, hehe, revenge was successful. (To be continued......)
