Chapter 155: The Third Competition
"Who do you mean?!" Fan Yuan stepped forward, tilted his head, made a fierce and vicious appearance, and asked Wang Xuxian like this.
At this time, the examiner had already left, and Wang Lei, who was originally watching the excitement in the crowd, saw Fan Yuan like this and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away: "What do you want to do?!" ”
Seeing that Wang Xuxian had two brothers, he was the only one by himself, Fan Yuan was worried that if he really made a move, he was afraid that he would not be their brother's opponent, so he only snorted coldly and let go of Wang Xuxian.
He really hates Wang Xuxian, this person always looks high, unlike a chef like him who finally climbed up from the bottom, Wang Xuxian has a kind of brilliance, at a glance, he knows that he is doing what he likes, and he should have been well protected since he was a child, raised with care, and carefully taught.
In addition, the dishes he makes can always be praised by others, so that kind of confidence from the bottom of his heart makes Fan Yuan unattainable.
"Aren't you relying on such a brother to bully people like this? A big man always needs another man to protect, what kind of ability is this? Look at your appearance, if you are bullied, you will probably have to hide in the bed and cry!" Fan Yuan didn't dare to step forward to provoke, so he could only ask for a bargain on his lips.
But Wang Xuxian was not as he wished: "You say I have no ability? Haven't I already shown what I'm capable of? As chefs, this competition is a place for us to show off each other's skills, isn't it? After these two competitions, don't you have a little bit of my ability? ”
Fan Yuan knew that Wang Xuxian was talking about the rankings of these two competitions, he did have two competitions at the end of the crane, and among the two competitions, the second competition almost failed to advance, so he really couldn't compare with Wang Xuxian at all.
He was angry again, but he couldn't say anything to refute at all, after all, in the current situation, Wang Xuxian didn't say anything wrong at all, on the road of cooking, Wang Xuxian's ability is indeed much higher than Fan Yuan.
It's just that Fan Yuan didn't want to admit it even if he knew it in his heart, he looked at Wang Lei beside Wang Xuxian, he didn't dare to fight, he couldn't scold and scold, so he had to glare at Wang Xuxian fiercely, and then turned around and left.
Fan Yuan's back was quite a bit of a desert and fled, watching him leave like this, Wang Xuxian and Liu Tian both laughed.
On the second day, they came to the scene of the competition at the same time, and when the examiner said the questions of the competition, Fan Yuan's face turned green.
The topic of this competition is seafood cuisine, that is, this competition is about practical operation, and the theme of the competition is seafood, so all the ingredients used by chefs to make the main dish are seafood.
However, seafood is also divided into grades and varieties, different varieties of seafood have different practices, and different grades of seafood are also different when cooking, and the characteristics to be highlighted are also different.
This time, the competition is based on the order of the ranking decided by the second round, and in this order, each chef chooses his favorite seafood.
Wang Xuxian was the first place in the last competition, and naturally he was the first to go to the raw material area to find his favorite seafood.
Fan Yuan stood in his position, and panicked all of a sudden, the topic he spent a lot of money to buy had nothing to do with seafood at all, and his body had not been very good after taking cartilage powder before, and now he finally used heavy medicine to stabilize his body, but now he found that seafood was coming out, and Fan Yuan's whole person was not very good.
Although the chefs in their capital have not seen seafood, they have never seen such a thing as seafood, so the processing of seafood is generally done by the chef, and they are just watching from the sidelines, and they have not done anything to deal with it.
Not to mention distinguishing the grade of these seafoods.
Although Fan Yuan still memorized some methods for making seafood dishes, it was the first time that he had to deal with it on the spot, and he only felt that he was now like a novice chef being asked to make a banquet, and he didn't know what was right and what was wrong, and the result was very unclear.
Wang Xuxian and Liu Tilt are calm and relaxed, reality Wang Xuxian, he turned around in the raw material area, chose a fish, Liu Tilt glanced at it, but forgot the name of the fish, only remember that this fish has a lot of oil on its body, so the taste is delicate and lubricated, but also because of a lot of oil, you need to pay more attention when processing.
Some of the seafood in this competition is directly put into the ice cubes to keep it fresh as soon as it is caught, and Wang Xuxian chose such a fish, which can be seen that the biggest feature of this fish is freshness.
Most of the modern practices for this fish are used to make sashimi, and there is also the practice of low-temperature charcoal grilling, but in this era, the way to eat sashimi is not acceptable to everyone, and low-temperature charcoal grilling does not have this condition, so what kind of way to retain the freshness and taste of fish meat to the greatest extent has become the most difficult problem for Wang Xuxian to overcome.
However, looking at Wang Xuxian's appearance, Liu Tian knew that he was not afraid at all.
The second person to choose the material was Liu Tian, she walked to the seafood area, wanted to take a good look and distinguish the variety and freshness of these fish, and heard Lin Anyu's voice in the crowd of onlookers outside: "Sister Liu Tian, I like to eat crabs, you can make crabs!"
Liu Tian was stunned, the dishes of this competition will not be distributed to the surrounding crowd of onlookers, does this have anything to do with what Lin Anyu likes to eat?
But since this little girl has already shouted like this, wouldn't it be good if she didn't respond? She walked to the place where the crabs were stacked, there were some relatively large crabs in them, but they didn't look very fresh, Liu Tian still turned to Lin Anyu and said, "This crab is not very fresh, I'd better choose something else." ”
Lin Anyu frowned on the spot: "Sister Liu, don't you know how to make crabs?" Although this sea crab and river crab are different, they can also learn from each other, aren't you doing a good job of making hairy crabs?! Saying that, Lin Anyu was aggrieved: "Don't you want to make me crab to eat?!" ”
Lin Feng, who was standing next to Lin Anyu, wanted to stop her from just now, and asked Lin Anyu not to say anything, but Lin Anyu just didn't listen.
Seeing that Liu Tian's face was getting worse and worse, Lin Feng reprimanded him ruthlessly: "Yu'er, your sister Liu Tian is now in the game, don't you mess around, okay?!" ”
Lin Anyu saw that Lin Feng seemed to be angry, so he stopped, but he still felt a little aggrieved and looked sullen.
Liu Tian was so stirred by her that she also lost some time to choose ingredients, and in the end she still took the freshest sea fish.
The rest of the ingredients are almost not as fresh as those taken by Wang Xuxian and Liu Tian, and the ingredients that Fan Yuan, who is at the bottom of the list, get are not fresh or special, just the most ordinary squid.
But this is a good thing for Fan Yuan, after all, there is only one way to do squid, that is, stir-fry, deliberately slice and then change the cross knife to help the flavor, and then stir-fry in the oil pan, and add green onion and ginger to remove the fish.
And Wang Xuxiong'an and Liu Tian are more troublesome, after all, the fresher the ingredients, the more they have to find a way to retain their original taste.
Wang Xuxian chose to slice the fish and put it on a plate and steam it to retain the original umami of the fish in the lightest way, while Liu Qian chose to make this dish in a similar way called flower chicken.
The fish is wrapped in lotus leaves, then wrapped in clay on the outer layer, and finally placed on a charcoal fire, which uses low temperature to grill the fish to preserve the flavor of the fish to the greatest extent.
This approach is refreshing, and the examiners always look at Liu Tian twice when they come to check.
When the stipulated time was almost up, Liu Tian and Wang Xuxian also took out their dishes and prepared for the subsequent plating.
In this competition, all the chefs used 100% of their skills, and even Fan Yuan did the best he could to stir-fry the squid.
But this is useless, this competition was originally to compete for the final winner, and Fan Yuan's dish is not an outstanding dish at all.
Wang Xuxian and Liu Tian's dishes are the best among all chefs in terms of the processing of the fish, the prominence of the freshness of the fish itself, and the initial selection of raw materials.
However, in the end, the examiners still could not decide a winner between Wang Xuxian and Liu Tian.
"We've decided to give you another competition." Several examiners discussed for a long time, but there was still no way to abandon any of them, after all, these were two different dishes, and it was impossible to see the level of the two of them in terms of creativity or skill.
But this is just the right thing for Wang Xuxian, he originally hoped that he could score a point with Liu Tian in the final competition, but they were all competing together before, and now they can only let the two of them compete, I don't know why, Wang Xuxian is a little inexplicably happy in his heart.
Since the competition has never been so difficult to make a final choice between two chefs as this one, the examiners also need to think carefully about how to test them.
At this time, Fan Yuan walked out again: "I haven't been passive at all in this dish, and none of you have tried it, why did you set my ranking like this?!" ”
He brought out his own dish, which still seemed to be very good, with bright colors and luster, which made people look very appetizing, but for some reason, all the examiners had not tried his dish, and this stir-fried squid showed no signs of being passive at all.
"Do you want to know why your dishes haven't been changed?" The examiner stepped forward to take a look, he did have an impression of this dish, but this impression was not only because of the dish, but also because of Fan Yuan!
