Chapter 60: Vivid
Where did Rob's faith come from? The first is, of course, this Zhang Dawan, the chicken he made is delicious, and the opponent will definitely not be able to compare, so this vote is very stable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chef Li Tiegang and Long Shao are now in opposition, and his original worries about Long Shao have also been eliminated, at least the two of them will only see that they will get one vote. As for the last vote, he pinned his hopes on Zhang Zhishi, hoping that the president could be conquered by his own chicken.
Actually, it's just Rob's wishful thinking. Let's not talk about whether Zhang Zhishi will give face, and Li Tiegang and Long Shao alone may not be opposed.
Now these two people are opposed, in addition to personality reasons, the main thing is the opposition that new and old chefs only see. Li Tiegang is an old-school chef who pays attention to tradition and wants to be more conservative. Long Shao takes the international route, both Chinese and Western food, and pays attention to innovation. So the opposition between two people is a philosophical opposite.
But after all, they are professionals, and if Rob does not meet the standards of the topic, it is impossible for the two to abandon the dignity of the chef and talk nonsense because they are angry.
"I believe that through the first stage of the competition, the audience and friends have discovered that our topic is divided according to color, flavor and shape. The third group of contestants in the next competition, their topic is vivid, I wonder how the next two contestants understand this question? ”
"Test the shape of the knife worker!" The audience shouted in unison. After the game just now, the audience gradually let go and began to interact with the host.
A slightly older one started the production with his chest in his chest, while the other young one was a little nervous, his mind was obviously confused, and he couldn't even think of such a simple topic, standing there in a daze. The audience's prompts made him wake up like a dream, and he was busy with his hands in a hurry.
Vivid and vivid literally means a very similar imitation, and there are many common dishes of this type. The older chef got the head of the pack and opted for one of the most common dishes, squirrel fish.
I saw him hold down the body of the fish and cut off the head of the fish. Then hold down the body of the fish, use a knife to slice the fish against the bone, turn it over and slice another piece of fish, and then slice off the thorny meat on the belly of the fish. The two pieces of fish meat are cut straight and then obliquely on the fish with the skin facing down, until the skin becomes a diamond-shaped knife pattern. Mix well with cooking wine and refined salt, and spread on the fish head and meat respectively. Finally, roll on the dry starch and shake off the remaining powder by carrying the tail by hand.
At this time, the oil in the wok was already boiling to 80% hot, and he took the fish with his hand and poured the hot oil from the top to the bottom on the fish. Then put two pieces of fish fin into the tail and fry them in a pan to shape it. After that, fry all the fish in a pan until golden brown, and put it on a plate. The fish head is also fried in a pan until golden brown.
After frying, the head and meat of the fish are placed on a plate, and the sauce is poured with tomato paste, soup, sugar, balsamic vinegar, wine, soy sauce, and wet starch, and the head and tail are cocked into the shape of a living squirrel.
The young chef was a step late, and when he saw that his opponent had made squirrel fish first, he couldn't help but have a deflated mouth, so he had to choose another modeling dish, corn fish.
He also slice two pieces of fish and cut a centimeter-deep cross-shaped knife out of the fish. Unlike squirrel fish, this corn fish doesn't need to be cut too deep, as long as the meat is cut in the shape of corn kernels.
After cutting the fish, pat the flour and fry it in a pan until golden brown, remove it and serve it on a plate. Blanched rape is used as a stem, orange juice is added with salt and sugar to make juice, thickened with Jitu powder, poured on the fish, and a large golden corn cob is made.
Although these two dishes are common dishes, they can attract the audience's attention. As soon as it was made, the audience's exclamations were endless. In particular, in order to make a comparison, the host directly put the two dishes on the table, forming a scene where a little squirrel probed his brain and wanted to steal corn, which caused the audience to laugh.
"The maker of the squirrel fish is Chef Zhou, and the maker of the corn fish is Chef Wu, now please comment on the judges!"
Yang Ming, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, said to the host with a smile: "You are doing this, how can we comment?" A piece of it was brought up, and the corn directly became a foil for the little squirrel. I seriously doubt now that you are the rescuer invited by the little squirrel! ”
The host listened to Yang Ming's ridicule, and hurriedly pretended to be innocent: "Blame me!" But I really don't know that squirrel, if you want to say I'm cheating, beware of me suing you for defamation! ”
"Don't know? Then I'll introduce you to it. Host, this is a little squirrel! Yang Ming smiled evilly, and then said to the squirrel fish: "Little squirrel, this is the host!" Do you know each other? ”
The host was speechless, so he could only point to the squirrel fish with a straight face and say, "It's cooked, I'm not cooked!" ”
The audience was amused by the crosstalk-like conversation between the two and giggled. However, Chef Wu's group of relatives and friends quit, complaining about this, and poking at the host like a knife. Yang Ming waited for the audience to laugh enough, and then explained: "I say this, which means that for the sake of fairness, it is better to review the two dishes separately, after all, in the same noodles, squirrel fish is easy to become the protagonist." ”
"That means you're still unprofessional! Good things are not afraid of comparison, and the more they compare, the easier it is to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages! If you look at the knife work of this squirrel fish, it is obvious that the corn fish is stronger. The meat of the corn fish is square, while the real corn is flat! Li Tiegang, who has meticulous requirements for the process, said unceremoniously.
"What Li Lao said is reasonable, the shape of this corn fish is also slightly worse, if two pieces of fish can be fried into a semicircle, and finally make a round corn, then it will be beautiful. And now it is lying flat on the plate, which is not full and lacks beauty, which is the main reason why corn fish has become a supporting role! The painter Zhang Dawan also gave his own evaluation.
Zhang Zhishi, who has been speaking very carefully, spoke at this time: "The words of the two judges have fully explained the chef's requirements for styling, that is, beauty!" The so-called vividness refers to the expression of beauty. These two dishes are put together, and none of them is destined to be the protagonist, only the one that is more beautiful in the eyes of the person will be defined as the protagonist, so when people see the squirrel as the protagonist, in fact, it has been determined that the squirrel is more beautiful than corn. My vote is also for the squirrel fish! ”
With the judges' explanation, the audience all made a sudden realization. The judges are right, the audience just looks at the squirrels and looks very cute before they think they are the protagonists. Just imagine, if the corn is done well, will it make people eat and shout a good corn is about to be stolen by an ugly squirrel? So, the winner is decided!
"Since the three judges voted for the squirrel fish, I announced that the winner of this group of competitions was Chef Chow. Of course, I didn't say anything about Chef Wu's level, but I was obviously a little nervous today, so I didn't play well. I hope you will continue to work hard and achieve good results in the future! The host was complained by Chef Wu's relatives and friends just now, and his heart was also a little empty. Fortunately, the judges helped him out, but he was still busy praising Chef Wu and retaining a trace of decency for him.
