106 Unequal Treaties
The number of people in the second round of the game was much less, Zhao Lele was lucky this time, it was not a corner position, and this time the position was more convenient to observe the opponents in front and back.
The main ingredient of the second round of the competition is river fish, which is not limited in theme and expression, it can be steamed, braised or made into fish balls and fish noodles, as long as it is completed within the specified time.
Zhao Lele felt that she was taking advantage of it again this time, she would have many ways to make river fish, but which method to choose still depends on the ingredients. She looked at the fish prepared by the organizers, but it was quite complete, and there were several common river fish.
She didn't know where these river fish came from, she didn't know the quality of the fish, and it was good just by looking at the appearance, but without knowing the quality of the meat, the cooking methods for the fish were limited.
Zhao Lele thought about it for three minutes before deciding to choose a cooking method with a strong taste. River fish are generally not as good as marine fish, so choosing a variety is also a test.
Zhao Lele chose a osmanthus fish, and she was going to make a squirrel osmanthus fish. This dish is very appetizing, sweet and sour, and the osmanthus fish is not as spiny as ordinary river fish.
Although the preparation of this dish is not complicated, it is not made by ordinary families, and most of them will only eat this dish in restaurants and restaurants.
This dish is a test of knife skills, and it also needs to be fried, so it doesn't seem to be a dish that ordinary housewives can make. Zhao Lele not only has to make fish, but also uses fresh tomatoes to make tomato sauce.
Zhao Lele prefers the taste of freshness, and the ketchup provided by the organizer is processed by the factory, which loses the umami of the food compared to fresh ketchup.
Zhao Lele chose two beautiful tomatoes, beautiful tomatoes do not necessarily taste better, but they are more comfortable to look at.
Remove the scales and internal organs of the cinnamon fish, then wash and remove the bones, and the slices are formed into a diamond-shaped knife pattern, smeared with seasonings and fried in the pan. This step is very heavy to master the heat, and it is just a simple sentence to fry until golden brown, in fact, it is all about experience to master the timing of the pot.
Zhao Lele rarely has the opportunity to cook this dish, but the fish is the most beautiful golden brown when it comes out of the pot. She hooked the root and sprinkled the cooked pine nuts on the fish, and a beautiful squirrel fish was finished.
Zhao Lele also spent a little bit of caution when arranging the plate, and also embellished a little green to make the picture more pleasing to the eye. After she raised her hand, someone immediately brought the work to the judges to score the color, fragrance, and other aspects.
Li Zhiwen was very bored sitting on the judges, and he was very happy to eat delicious food, but sitting here waiting for the dishes to be served, he had to listen to a group of boring literati praising each other and reciting a few crooked poems before he started, and no matter how good his patience was, he couldn't wear it out.
He regretted participating in such an event, even if he was bored, the level of this competition was uneven, and he didn't know who was eliminated in the first round.
Li Zhiwen decided not to come in the future, unless he was called in the finals. With so many people cooking together, the taste is skewered together, and the color and fragrance are all missing. He can only rate on two of them, and he prefers taste to flashy dishes.
Zhao Lele's dish got a high score, not only Li Zhiwen liked it, but the other judges also said that this dish should be rated among the top ten famous dishes.
Li Zhiwen heard it loudly, the term "Top Ten Famous Dishes" is a quarrel, and there is no result after several years of quarreling, just like there are always eleven of the top ten famous schools.
Zhao Lele left happily when she got the results of the game, no matter how confident she was, she had to wait for the results of the game to come out before leaving.
A week later, the third round will be played, and this time there will be fewer people left, and I heard that the game will be recorded and broadcast on television.
Zhao Lele is not interested in being on TV, she cares about the results of the competition prize money and the like, but Wang Huan cares more about the competition than her.
Wang Huan also made a small blackboard in the store and wrote down some information about Zhao Lele's participation in the competition on it, so that customers who entered the store could see it at a glance.
After Zhao Lele finished the second round, Wang Huan announced the information of the third round in the store, and wrote the time of the TV broadcast. The customers in the store city saw that one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, so that the business in the store was better, and many customers came to visit.
These guests are all aiming at Zhao Lele's name, even if she doesn't like these pursuits, it's not good to keep showing up. She has made business good again in the store, and many regular customers say that her craftsmanship is good again.
Zhao Lele didn't believe this, she asked the system, she has not made obvious progress recently, especially the dishes she has long been familiar with in the store, and it is even more difficult to make progress.
Regular customers don't listen to Zhao Lele say that there is no progress, but she is modest, saying that her things here are better than others, and she will definitely enter the finals. Everyone praised and boasted, but they still understood in their hearts that Zhao Lele's cooking skills were not the best, there were people outside the world, and there were heavens outside the sky.
Everyone doesn't know who the best chef is, but they subconsciously think that they definitely don't have a chance to eat, it is all the food that can only be eaten by the rich or the noble, and it would be good if they could eat some poor people's food.
Zhao Lele knows that most of the poor people's food is made of the cheapest ingredients, and the real rich and noble people taste the food but eat the natural taste of the top ingredients. The whole process of such ingredients from collection to deep processing into delicious food on the table is only a few hours, and the average poor person really does not enjoy it.
Zhao Lele didn't have the opportunity to taste that kind of food, and she didn't even have the qualifications to touch the top ingredients. These top-level ingredients are also a kind of resource, ordinary people don't want to buy them if they have money, these are occupied by large groups and large companies.
Zhao Lele is looking forward to the day when she becomes famous, and after she becomes famous, she will have many opportunities to come into contact with top ingredients.
The day before the third round of the competition, Wang Huan forced Zhao Lele to rest, saying that only when he rested would he have more energy to participate in the competition. Zhao Lele said that he didn't like the result of the game, but Wang Huan disagreed.
"Sister Lele, the better your competition results, the better the business in the store, you must want to make more money, right?" Wang Huan decided to lure the boss.
Zhao Lele feels that the money is inexhaustible, the key is that no matter how good the business is, it is useless, the area of the store is not large, and no matter how tired he is every day, he can only receive guests within a certain limit.
Wang Huan was particularly naïve and said: "Sister Lele, we can open a branch, and you can recruit people for training." ”
Zhao Lele shook his head: "I'm too tired, I don't want to toss." She has enough money now, and she will have to make money by investing in industries such as stocks and real estate in the future, so she doesn't want to make this hard-earned money.
Wang Huan couldn't convince Zhao Lele, but the system spoke out. It also requires Zhao Lele to prepare for the game seriously, and also said that there will be rewards for winning.
Zhao Lele didn't care about the quality of the business, but thinking about the bonuses announced by the organizers of the competition and the benefits of the system, she had planned to work hard to get into the finals, so Wang Huan's worries were unnecessary.
Wang Huan felt that Zhao Lele was deliberately teasing her, and she was rarely angry that she wanted to start a cold war, and she wanted to recruit a few more people to train.
Zhao Lele was pressured to sign an unequal treaty.
