Chapter 90: Contrasting Moe.
Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Before the recording of the first issue of "Culinary Wars", it had been building momentum in various media magazines and other channels for a long time. The ability of these Internet celebrities to attract fans should not be underestimated, coupled with the traffic of Shiheng Restaurant during this time, when the first episode was recorded, the guests were full.
Even, some people who didn't get a seat in the queue asked if they could get a number, or if they could make a reservation for a table after that.
This is the best-case scenario, Ash had discussed it with the program team before, and in order to attract more customers to come and try the food, they decided not to open reservations. Only the first 20 guests are booked every day, so as long as you come early, you will have a chance, which makes it easier to mobilize the enthusiasm of the masses.
The audience who came to the first episode was almost a fan of the Internet celebrities, because the popularity of the show had not really been hyped up, and many people still had a wait-and-see attitude.
However, a good show is worth the wait, and everyone is not in a hurry.
Visitors are told that the wait time can be a bit long, as there is no guarantee that the dishes prepared by the contestants will be qualified.
And the real chef Ash, in order to ensure the reputation of Shiheng Restaurant's signature, will personally check every dish, and she will only serve it when she thinks it can be served.
Of course, if the players have been unable to meet Ash's requirements, she will be in action. Therefore, every customer here may spend less money, taste Ash's craftsmanship, and may also be given a shot of the show.
Twenty guests sat on the first floor, looking upstairs from time to time, wondering what kind of busy scene the influencers above were, and whether they could eat the food made by their idols.
Excitement and nervousness go hand in hand, and there is also a little anticipation.
At the same time, the kitchen that customers yearn for is hell on earth.
Ten players divided into two groups and began to cook the dishes of the first table of guests, two people, four dishes, two for the men's and women's teams.
But this was just the beginning, and they began to scramble.
There are five people in each team, and everyone works together to cook a dish, which seems to be able to divide labor very carefully, and seems to be able to save time. However, there are many people and it is easy to make mistakes.
Even if they have a team leader, they are still in a hurry, have no tacit understanding, and often do one thing repeatedly between two people. There was even a player on the men's team who didn't turn on the oven switch at all when he put the beef in the oven!
Ash, who has corrected them countless times, is furious!
"The men on the men's team are all out of here!" She yelled angrily, "The guests at the first table have been waiting for twenty minutes, and I don't want to smash the sign on the first day of opening!" โ
The girl's face changed suddenly, and her originally good voice became sharp, and everyone present was shocked.
However, Ash did not restrain herself, she said to the people inside: "What are you doing in a daze, do you still want to work, do you want to record the show?" โ
โฆโฆ
The whole back kitchen was silent, and after a few seconds, everyone really returned to the state in an instant.
Ash was finally a little satisfied, and she said to the five players on the women's team: "It's your performance time, and I already sent you the recipe yesterday, and I don't think you don't know anything." โ
Saying that, she said to the captain of the women's team: "I will cook these two dishes for the men's team, but for the remaining two dishes, I hope you don't disappoint me, otherwise you may change your mentor next time, or stop broadcasting without the next episode of this variety show." โ
The girl was sharp and sharp-tongued, and everyone was dumbfounded. But looking at Ash's immediate entry into the state, they were also suddenly touched, and they started to do things more neatly.
Ten minutes later, the four dishes were finally served after Ash tried them.
A videographer goes out with the waiter to interview the first customer to eat a hot dish, and their evaluation is quite important.
Surprisingly, the two customers were very satisfied, especially after trying the pear roast beef made by Ash himself, and their faces were extremely satisfied.
"Ah, this pear roast beef dish is really amazing, it must have been made by Chef Ai!" A customer said.
Immediately afterwards, his female companion also said: "And this braised chicken tofu, it's wonderful!" โ
After that, they tried two other dishes made by the Internet celebrities, the pumpkin millet cured mei cup and the egg silver sprout vegetarian spring cake.
The cameraman thought that they would be greatly disappointed, but the two also looked at each other and smiled, and said:
"These two dishes are also good, although they are not as good as the two just now."
"Yes, but the skills of the Internet celebrities can be played to this extent, which is not bad, and tonight's meal is very enjoyable!"
โฆโฆ
Then the photographer didn't stay long, leaving them a private space.
After the men's team was scolded by Ash, they stayed for twenty minutes before coming back, because Ash saw that the women's team was working too hard, so they let them come back.
They should have already reflected, this time they were all cautious, did not make any more low-level mistakes, and the division of labor was much clearer. I think that at this time when I went out, I should have discussed the division of labor again.
Rao is like this, there are still many dishes that can't even be done unsatisfactory, Ash for the signature of Shiheng Restaurant, each table still has to make one or two dishes himself, so as not to disappoint the guests too much.
So, after the recording of one episode, Ash was even more tired than the chef who had been working all night opposite. Because on the other side, at least she was happy and quiet at work, and here, she had to watch these Internet celebrities spoil the ingredients.
Moreover, this also provoked protests from the ingredients, and her ears were often filled with the following shouts:
Apple: Oh my God, can't this young lady see that I'm broken, please let me die alone instead of being scolded by the customer_(:ะทใโ )_
Potato: OMG, it's the first time I've seen a chef with such a bad knife job, little Heihee, help, these people have already disfigured me!
Tofu: Ahh???h
โฆโฆ
In short, the ingredients protested that her life was not perfect, and the noise hurt her brain.
In addition, she has to constantly correct the mistakes of these contestants, tell them the skills, and tell them to go back to the apartment to practice after the show is recorded.
When they are grumpy, Ash has to yell at them so that they can maintain a sense of urgency and not be lazy.
At the end of the night, everyone in the back kitchen, including the staff, was exhausted.
When producer Cheng Guoqing saw this scene, he stood up again and again, saying that he wanted to invite everyone to eat Haidilao. After all, there was no experience in the first period, and people, including Ash, hadn't eaten yet.
The staff smelled the fragrance in the back kitchen all night, and they were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, so they naturally approved with both hands.
But Ash weakly refused, "I'm not going, there's a class tomorrow morning, I have to go back to school first." โ
After finishing speaking, she didn't forget to look at the ten contestants and said: "I hope that after everyone goes down, they can practice diligently, and I may wear a little bee in the next issue." โ
Thus, the recording of the first episode ended.
As for the contestants to be eliminated, they will have to wait until the next session begins, and the twenty customers will score each dish before deciding.
The team with the lowest total score will be selected by everyone, and the final elimination will be decided by Ash.
Ash didn't want to worry about it yet, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he went back to his bedroom and lay down weakly.
"Cooking Wars" is really too physical and time-consuming, she has paid far more than she expected before, but now there is no turning back, she can only make the effect of this variety show the best in order not to lose.
Ying Zheng and Fan wanted to see Ash's tired appearance every day, and sighed that people who were richer than them also worked harder than them.
As a result, even Ying Zheng, who skipped class frantically, has converged a lot this semester, and often follows Fan Xiang to the library to soak.
It was also during this period that Ying Zheng discovered that Fan Xiang was actually in love with Su Yang! Moreover, looking at the appearance of the two of them, it is obvious that even the love period has passed!
Heartbroken, she studied harder, after all, Ash has a career, Fan Xiang has love, in order not to lose, she has to overwhelm the two of them in her studies!
Ash found that although she was getting busier, it was all positive, and her relationship with her friends did not deteriorate because of it.
On the contrary, her friends have been influenced by her to live more positive lives.
Even the pestering Oliver has recently stopped nagging her all day, saying that he has found a part-time job as an English tutor and learns Chinese from his students by the way.
Just when everyone was living a positive life, the first episode of "Cooking Wars" was finally edited, logged in to Sichuan City Satellite TV, and launched two major websites.
At first, the discussion was not very high, but when the audience saw that Ash had just met with the Internet celebrities, they competed with each other and conquered everyone with their strength, and the Internet began to make a splash.
When the "ร la carte" began, the mysterious kitchen veil was finally revealed, and everyone saw the true face of the beautiful chef who played the piano elegantly before.
Ash is indeed very beautiful, with a tall figure, delicate facial features, and a beautiful tip on his forehead, all of which are attractive. When she sits quietly playing the piano, you would think that she is a demure lady, but when she is sarcastic to the men on the men's team, everyone is shocked.
The strong contrast made the audience shout that Ash was so funny, as if they had discovered a new world, and began to discuss "Culinary Wars" on various media channels.
There is no such food variety show in China now, and the previous food variety show was either a half-popular star to support the scene, or a pot contest of chefs who didn't know each other at all.
Like "Cooking Wars", the model of inviting ten Internet celebrities, locked up in an apartment to progress and tear up, and then inviting a beautiful chef younger than all Internet celebrities to take charge of the kitchen, have authority, and make the contestants self-conscious, is too new for the current period.
As a result, this variety show quickly aroused widespread discussion, and in the end, CCTV's news mentioned "Cooking Wars"!
Everyone's efforts are worth it, and just after the first episode of the show, "Cooking Wars" has become an instant hit and set off a "phenomenal" discussion.
People are urging the broadcast of the new episode of the show, and even begging for a little tidbits to satisfy their hunger, and almost everyone has someone talking about the show.
Of course, so far, the most popular person is still the most contrasting and cute Ash.
Now that she is walking on the university campus, people have begun to come to ask for autographs and group photos, and even when she is in class, the teacher has to tease her.
This effect can be said to make Ash happy and sad at the same time.
At this pace, I'm afraid the [Entertainment First] mission will be completed soon. But her life is getting too much attention now, and she feels a little uncomfortable, like being watched all the time.
Just when Ash was worried, the food system suddenly took a new turn.
