Chapter 324: Hope
Chapter 324
"Sister Calamus, did you learn anything from observing those chefs today?" Li Ming asked.
"I have gained a lot, and I have written it down in my notebook." Calamus shook the small notebook in her hand and said. "But there's one thing that makes me very strange."
"Which point?" Li Ming asked with interest, he was also very curious about this matter, listening to what the staff said, Li Ming felt that the possibility of Calamus being able to win the title of King Chef was very small, even close to zero, not that Li Ming had no confidence in Calamus, but that the strength of the opponent was too strong.
"It's these chefs who seem to be very skill-oriented." Calamus opened her small notebook and said. "You see, there is a chef who makes a roast chicken, first of all, what kind of feed the chicken eats to raise it, as well as the size of the fire, the proportion of the mixed seasoning sprinkled, and how often to turn it around, all of which are very strict."
"That's right, it's this spirit of excellence and nitpicking, so that they can make more delicious dishes." Li Ming nodded, obviously after knowing the cooking methods of the chefs, he was used to this.
"But the roast chicken he made was not half as delicious as what I had at the Konoha barbecue restaurant, and it was even slightly lacking in taste." Calamus said suspiciously.
"It may be that the taste here in the Land of Thunder is different, and they prefer to eat things with this taste." Li Ming said that if the roast chicken made with so much effort is not as delicious as the roast chicken roasted casually at the barbecue restaurant in the village, it will definitely be impossible to drop.
"No, no, no, I made a roast chicken according to the practice of the barbecue restaurant in the village and let the judges taste it, and the judges unanimously asked me to make the roast chicken a little more delicious." Calamus said proudly.
"How so?" Li Ming asked a little strangely, obviously he spent more energy, and he obviously strictly followed the procedure at every step, but the product he made was not as good as the calamus roasted casually?
Li Ming thought silently in his heart: "Could it be that this calamus is actually a food genius?" Can you surpass the efforts of others for many years? Immediately, Li Ming thought of Calamus's unpalatable improved ramen, and shook his head, if they are all food geniuses, then how much more fish should the chefs of this world have.
"Could it be that it's because he pays too much attention to the program that he loses the soul of the roast chicken?" Li Ming thought silently in his heart, and at the same time, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, which is why the King of Fast Knife would lose in the hands of the hot pot prince, the King of Fast Knife paid too much attention to skills, but lost the soul of the dish.
A dish without a soul will not be delicious, as the staff member said, every dish is poured into the soul by the chef. A dish without a soul, no matter how beautiful it is, will not taste good.
"And I've found that there are not just two cases like this, but one or two. I met a ramen chef who had strict requirements for how much the dough should ferment, how much flour and water to mix and how thick and thin the noodles were, and who made his ramen with a soup stock that he had inherited from his ancestors, which is said to have been stewed for hundreds of years. ”
"Oh, the ramen made from pork bones that have been stewed for hundreds of years must be delicious." Li Ming said this, and his saliva was about to flow.
"On the contrary," Iris said, shaking her head, "just from the ramen noodles, the noodles he pulled out are not as delicious as the noodles I used to pull out casually in the store, and the pork bone soup that has been stewed for hundreds of years has a strange smell that makes it very difficult to swallow." ”
Calamus said this, the expression on her face turned blue, as if she recalled the fear of being dominated by pork bone broth. It's like Li Ming recalls his fear of being dominated by Calamus's modified ramen.
Li Ming then listened to Calamus tell several similar cases, all of which were not very skill-oriented, but the dishes made were not as delicious as the dishes made by Calamus casually.
The more Li Ming listened, the more he said, and if this trend developed, it was very likely that the calamus would achieve a very good ranking.
At the same time, the staff member who was held by Li Ming's watermelon knife around his neck came to another staff member's room, and looking at the facilities all over the room on the floor, it was not difficult to guess that this staff member should be writing the list.
The so-called writing the list refers to writing down the names and scores of the top 200 of these thousands of participants, and then posting them to inform everyone.
And the watermelon knife is very smart, he knows that if he buys the judges, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, not to mention that among the so many judges, there are always some guys who don't get in the oil and salt, just those judges who are willing to be bought, the price of the purchase, even if the watermelon knife is all the belongings are not enough.
So he thought of a way, which was to bribe the person who wrote the list. The primary selection is different from the semi-finals and finals, and no one pays attention to the primary selection, that is, no one cares about the score of those contestants, they only care about the last 200 people.
And those scoring data will be handed over to the person who wrote the list, and no one will go back to check it, so as long as you bribe the person who writes the list and let the person who writes the list add the names of Li Ming and Calamus to the list, you can sneak into the semi-finals unknowingly.
This is also a loophole caused by too many participants, too many judges, and too cumbersome scoring system, but I'm afraid no one can imagine that the staff who have been in the King of Chef competition for a long time will come out with watermelon knives.
When others go to the relationship, they will only think of asking the judges to score more, where will they think of bribing the last list writer, because in the eyes of everyone, the person who writes the list is just a copyist, what use can it be.
However, in fact, the watermelon knife has long seen through the doorway, and the person who wrote the list has the greatest power in the preliminary round, but at present, the person who wrote the list himself doesn't know it?
"How? Promise me that I will tell you a way to get rich. The watermelon knife said to the writing list.
"This, if someone finds out." There was obvious hesitation in writing the list, after all, it was a violation of the rules.
"You're still not a man, you don't even want to take this risk, how can you make a lot of money." Watermelon knife said.
"Okay, I promise you." He hesitated to write the list, but finally agreed.
The watermelon knife nodded with satisfaction after hearing it, and was relieved in his heart, and finally was put on the neck by the watermelon knife without being passive.
