Chapter 28: The Real Chef.
Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Ash was in turmoil inside, but on the surface he had to remain calm.
The rice and various side dishes in the pot were still stir-frying, and the time she had just waited plus the time she was stunned had been for a long time.
She could only restrain her slight hand trembling, and turned the pot upside down, and then relied on the experience of her previous life to judge the degree of stir-frying of the Yangzhou fried rice in the pot.
After a short while, she used a spatula to grind a corner of the pot, although the rice looked to be clear, but there was less communication with the ingredients, and she was not sure whether the rice in the pot had reached the best level.
The spatula couldn't easily flatten the rice, and Ash's heart sank, and he quickly turned off the heat and got out of the pot.
Rao was surrounded by a group of people at the door to watch the game, but she still didn't restrain herself and unconfidently scooped a spoonful of fried rice to try.
His brow furrowed, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of Ash's mouth.
Sure enough, because the time and heat were not controlled to the most precise, the rice was a little hard.
"Hey, foul, foul!" At the door, Ying Zheng jokingly shouted, "Chef is not allowed to taste it in front of us, otherwise my saliva will flow out!" ”
Reporter Wang also echoed and said: "Yes, yes, it's really a happy torture to watch here, it's so fragrant!" You still eat it for us, it's so cruel! ”
Ash put down the spoon and forced a smile at the door, "You all go out and take your seats, this dish will soon be out of the pot one by one, and you have to eat it hot to taste their best." ”
The group has already photographed the most show-off knife work, and some of the stir-fry links have also been photographed, but the final product is just missing. Hearing Ash say this, he felt that it made a lot of sense, so he said yes, and walked out of the kitchen to the judges' bench.
Reporter Wang was the only one, standing at the door tirelessly, and said, "Eh, you don't care about me, I have an occupational disease and like to spy on the backstage." But don't worry, I will never show my face to you, and I will not put it on the Internet and spread it publicly. I've recorded all these words in it, and I'm legally responsible! ”
Su Yang was originally worried, but when he heard it, he was completely relieved and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the game.
This time, the three-course dishes, hot kidney flower and spicy chicken, are what he especially wants to challenge, and he has been practicing every day this week.
Naturally, the waist flower is because of the last food festival, Ash said that this dish also tests knife skills, so he tried it and found that it is really not good to cut flowers. The heat and stir-fry time of the spicy chicken are particularly important, and it is difficult for the chicken to be fried or not, which is also his desire to challenge the cold rabbit made from the Ash Food Festival.
Although Su Yang struggled for a long time before agreeing to this fight, he enjoyed the competition quite a bit, so he didn't have any distractions and didn't notice Ash's abnormality at all.
And Ash, who was opposite him, had a heart that had sunk to the bottom.
Because when she was cooking crispy fried shrimp, she still didn't hear the sound of shrimp. She even took the risk of bending down, squatting under the stove, holding the shrimp and calling to each other.
However, I can't hear, or I can't hear the shrimp talking.
At this point, she was 100% sure that she really couldn't communicate with the ingredients.
Is this the punishment the system for disobeying her requirements?
The system is so smart that before the final time of the task is reached, it can be interpreted that she is not acting according to the requirements?
Ash couldn't find out the results now, no matter how shocked and flustered she was right now, she had to finish the contest first!
After all, she is the matchmaker for this fight, and if she doesn't do her best, it will be disrespectful to Su Yang.
Without the plug-in of communicating with ingredients, she must completely rely on the experience of her previous life to cook, fortunately, she has made stir-fried dishes and sweet and sour pork ribs to boil sugar before. Thinking of this, Ash calmed down, how to say that she is also a three-star Michelin chef, even if there is no mention of ingredients, she can do it well!
The dish of fried shrimp is mainly to test the level of fried shrimp, and the shrimp should be fried until the shell and meat are separated, the more accurate the better. Because only in this way can it be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste can be the best.
There are also shrimp in French food, but lobsters are the majority, and it is not often made with Jiwei shrimp in the shell, so Ash can only rely on feelings.
Exploded first and then exploded, Ash walked carefully in every step, and compared with when he was chopping vegetables, he felt a little shrinking.
This was also seen by Reporter Wang, who looked at Ash suspiciously. But why the girl suddenly changed like this, he couldn't say, it had to be attributed to the nervousness of being rated for the dish.
Ash also felt that her emotions were abnormal, so after the fried shrimp came out of the pot, she forced herself not to try it, and directly asked people to present it.
The last dish of cherry meat is her main dish today, which she temporarily set after Su Yang gave her the title of Yangzhou fried rice.
The flesh of the cherry has nothing to do with cherries, but it is named because of its bright red color and resemblance to cherries. Therefore, the color and shape of this dish are very important, and pay attention to a "color and temptation".
Heat the oil first, a little oil, then add rock sugar, turn to low heat and fry until dark brown and red, and then add water and boil slowly. Wait until the rock sugar is bright and set aside.
At this time, fry the scallion oil again, skim off the shallots, add ginger slices, no spices; Immediately add fresh soup and various seasoning bottles, and most importantly, red wine; After boiling, add the pork belly with skin, turn the heat to high to remove the foam, and then turn to low heat and cook until the red juice is thick; Finally, remove the ginger and spice and other condiments, add a little chicken essence, reduce the juice over high heat, and pour sesame oil into the pot. ①
Ash has already reviewed and recited these steps, and he has done it in one go, plus his previous experience in making sweet and sour pork ribs, it is still full of color and aroma, as for the taste, it can only be left to the judges to identify.
Ash watched the last dish be served, and she breathed a sigh of relief, this time the ups and downs of the fighting dish finally came to an end!
As for the final result, she was very sure that she could win against Su Yang at first, but now she can't be sure......
She turned her eyes to Su Yang, the other party had already finished the last dish, and the time was less than an hour, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked outside together.
*
In the hall of Shiheng Restaurant, the judges together have almost three tables, so almost each of the two people's dishes can only taste one bite, which can be described as precious.
One table is their classmates, the other table is the people of the Fang family, the Lu family, and the Gao family, and the other table is the professional judges invited by the old men, including Lu Dong's old friends back then.
Because it was presented to them while cooking, when Ash and Su Yang came out, the judges had almost finished tasting the last dish, and everyone's faces were full of memorable expressions.
"It's hard work for the two chefs, and the taste is quite good!"
"Oh my God, it's a treat to eat your food!"
……
Lively young people were the first to shout.
Reporter Wang's referee is very qualified, he almost followed the waiter who served the last dish out, and it is estimated that he only tasted the last dish.
At this moment, he saw that both of them came out and took on the work of hosting, "Okay, okay, listen to me." Everyone has finished tasting the food, although it is delicious, but you still have to score it! Up to 10 points, everyone scores each dish, and finally the average score determines the winner. ”
This judging rule was set by this group of college students, and originally they wanted to vote directly, one person, one vote. But the way of voting is easy to favor the less votes in terms of emotion, after all, everyone is an acquaintance, and they definitely don't want their friends to lose.
So in order to be fairer, they came up with a way to average the score, so that you can see the score of the two people around you at most, and it doesn't have much impact.
Although, at the beginning, it was said that it was a casual discussion, which contributed to this fight. But because it was to fulfill the wishes of two generations, reporter Wang volunteered and invited several famous gourmets from Sichuan City for them. Moreover, he paid the appearance fee for these gourmets out of his own pocket, and also set up awards in the name of the column group.
Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and he also made a request.
Reporter Wang hopes to publish a contest on Weibo, and the photo is only within the scope of the cutting board, without showing their faces or naming their names.
Su Yang felt that everyone was enough for him, and he finally proposed to fight the dishes, so he agreed.
After all, in this year, Weibo has just become popular, and it is only the first signs of it. He didn't think an unnamed story was enough to worry, and he felt that his secrets that he didn't want to be known could be well buried.
At this moment, Ash was also very nervous, not because he was afraid of the failure of the mission. In fact, her mission may have failed, because she directly rejected the qualifications, and this mission is a [must pass], with the character of this system, she will definitely be sentenced to failure.
What she really worries about is whether she can maintain her original level after getting rid of the advantages given by the system.
Since her rebirth, she has relied too much on the system.
However, after being reminded yesterday that there were conditions attached, she began to reflect.
She believes that a true chef can make the most delicious food based on experience and intuition without communicating with the ingredients at all.
Ash's goal has always been to become that kind of chef, she doesn't want to be nothing without the system, what if the system really ceases to exist one day?!
She decided, starting today, to keep her feet on the ground.
With this system, she can study the heat, cooking time, and technique of various dishes, which is very good, it is the icing on the cake; However, without this system, she would have to rely on her real skills to cook all kinds of food!
The two "chefs" just had their own thoughts, quietly waiting for the answer.
Reporter Wang, as the referee, of course, had to verify the score, and about five minutes later, he walked to the middle of the hall with the result.
Everyone focused their eyes on him, and Reporter Wang himself was also very excited, he picked up the scoreboard and carefully checked it.
"I announce!" His voice was loud and subdued, and everyone took their breath away.
"The champion of this fight is-"
