Although the preliminaries were not on TV, and the invitation to the on-site relatives and friends had to wait until the final stage, the venue in the preliminaries was not shabby at all, and it was held in the largest hall of the five-star hotel in Binhai City.

When Jiang Xuan arrived with Chang Xiaotu and Jiang Gang, there were already two long rows of cooks in the hall, and after all the contestants entered, the host first introduced the rules of the game.

In this preliminaries, a total of 92 pairs of 184 players were finally determined, divided into 9 games, and 10 pairs of players fought each other.

Invite professional judges, each dish has a full score of 10, and the judges will give points according to the criteria such as color, flavor, meaning, shape, etc., and make comments, and the one with the highest score will win.

There were also several local media and two online media, armed with long guns and short guns, and cameras were arranged around each chef's position to broadcast the whole game live.

After the opening, the host first introduced the three judges of this group, two technicians, and one special chef, who were the head chef of a large hotel, the leader of the local catering association, and the head of a chef school.

A rule was also announced at the scene: during the competition, all gifts given during the live broadcast will be given to the winning streamer at the end.

After a short but grand opening ceremony, the three judges sat in a row in front of two rows of tables, and the chefs took their seats.

Jiang Xuan finally had a face-to-face intersection with the 'warm man at home', a middle-aged man who looked very gentle and elegant, with some crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, belonging to the kind of age that is mature to the point of penetration, but has not yet aged, and has the most mature man's charm.

The two sides looked at each other, didn't communicate much, and then, like the other 9 pairs of players around, got busy.

"Next, we came to the No. 87 player area, and the competition was against the kindergarten group and the home warm boy. ”

The host of the scene interviewed one by one, first came to the stove of the warm home and handed the microphone: "What kind of dish are you going to serve to you today?" Wait a minute, let me guess ......

Her eyes swept over the various ingredients on the board, and finally landed on the half-human-high golden porcelain altar, and asked in a pretended surprised tone: "Could it be the legendary Buddha jumping over the wall?"

The warm man at home smiled slightly, grabbed a watery sea cucumber from the pickled jar, skillfully slapped it on the board with the back of the knife, and said: "Yes, in order to thank the old iron door in the live broadcast room for his love to me, I specially prepared this Wang Pin Buddha jumping over the wall today." ”

Buddha jumping over the wall is a traditional famous dish, with the highest award of the National Culinary Festival banquet 'Chinese Famous Banquet' honor, is a complex process, the production of extremely difficult dishes, well-known at home and abroad, can be regarded as the supreme best in the dish, there are more than a dozen kinds of raw materials alone, abalone, sea cucumber, fish lips and other precious raw materials gathered together, no wonder there is the reputation of 'Wang Pin'!"

The host seems to be an expert in this, at least he has worked hard, and he is very familiar with the dish of Buddha jumping over the wall.

Then he asked: "Being able to cook independently Buddha jumping over the wall is itself a confidence in cooking, so the warm male anchor, do you have the confidence to win today?"

The warm man at home smiled faintly and said, "The name of this dish is called Wang Pinfo jumping over the wall, and I believe it will live up to its name." ”

"Sure enough, it's a warm man, and even such a domineering declaration is gentle and elegant. So let's talk about the kindergarten group......"

Before he could speak, the host was amused by Jiang Xuan's little pink apron, pursed his lips and smiled: "Chief Jiang, your robe is so cute, what kind of dish will you and Little Rabbit bring to you today?"

Jiang Xuan picked out the shrimp line of a live shrimp with a knife in his hand, threw it to Chang Xiaotu on the side, smiled and said, "Nothing special, dumplings." ”

"Dumplings?" The host was slightly stunned, it seemed too ordinary, right?

But immediately reacted from the state of distraction, looked at the materials on the board, and said with emotion: "Dumplings are the traditional food of our country, with a history of more than 1,800 years, don't look at the small dumplings, but there are rich food culture connotations, there are many famous dumplings all over the country, such as shrimp dumplings, pot sticker dumplings, steamed dumplings with crab roe, dumplings on the old side, etc., Director Jiang, I see that you are dealing with prawns, is it shrimp dumplings to make today?"

"Yes, crystal shrimp dumplings. Jiang Xuan nodded.

"It sounds delicious, but did you give this dish a loud name?"

Although the host said 'delicious', his tone was obviously the same as just now, and there was not much surprise and excitement.

It's no wonder that things like crystal shrimp dumplings have long been rotten on the street, and they can be sold in any street shop, and they can be sold for more than a dozen yuan, which is very different from the high-end dishes that rarely appear in the lives of ordinary people.

"Let's call it 'Jade Pot Dance Fish Dragon'. Jiang Xuan smiled and said casually.

"That's a pretty good name! Congratulations on a good result. ”

The host was obviously a little perfunctory, and didn't even ask, 'Do you have the confidence to win?', and continued to go to the next pair of contestants for an interview.

The preliminaries are not on TV, but they are broadcast live on the cola platform simultaneously, and the players who play against each other share a temporary live broadcast room, at this time there are nearly 1,000 people in the live broadcast room, and they also belong to two camps, and they are broadcast live while playing, which is very lively.

'What's the use of a nice name?'

'Shrimp dumplings are shrimp dumplings, how can they be compared with Buddha jumping over the wall?'

'I'm laughing to death, why doesn't he make snacks in S County?

'Let's just make egg fried rice!'

"Egg fried rice is egg fried rice, I'm afraid of you! Our head and rabbit make egg fried rice is the best in the world!"

'Just brag, don't pay taxes anyway!'

"I don't believe that dumplings are better than Buddha jumping over the wall?"

'Grass, dare not add it, eat poop live broadcast!'

'I'm afraid of you!'

There were originally many fans of the warm man in the live broadcast room, and after learning what the two were going to cook, the wind in the live broadcast room was even more one-sided, and the supporters of the kindergarten were almost speechless.

At the beginning, due to the restrictions of the rules, there were very few gifts in the live broadcast room, in case the anchor he supported lost, wouldn't he become a 'capital enemy'?

The appearance of the big dish of Buddha jumping over the wall made the confidence of Nuan's fans skyrocket, and a small wave of gifts began to be brushed frequently.

[The white-faced big bad wolf gives away ten villas!]

[Sanmao special effects send out two full Han banquets!]

[The warm man's house gives away a supreme crown!]

In contrast, kindergarten fans sporadically gave away a few small cucumbers and silver ingots, which looked quite shabby, and when they flashed on the screen, they were covered by the big gifts of warm male fans.

Jiang Xuan, who was at the scene at this time, focused 100% of his attention on the cooking utensils and ingredients in his hands.

A recipe can only tell the chef how to side the dishes, what the cooking process is like, cooking skills and key points, even if they are all mastered, the results of different chefs' operations may not be the same.

The chef's own skill, understanding of the nature of the ingredients, the use of cooking utensils, and the grasp of heat all determine what the final dish will taste like.

The mutual cooperation of cooking utensils, the integration of ingredients and ingredients, the use of flames, the details of ingredients, and even the angle and strength of knife work, into the blade, every detail is exquisite, and every detail is done to the best, in order to give birth to a real 'delicacy'.

A simple egg fried rice, even if Chang Xiaotu has the blessing of the three-layer aura of food talent, recipes and Jiang Xuan's guidance, he has to go through a lot of repetitive operations to improve his proficiency with difficulty.

This 'dumpling' recipe is not essentially a dumpling, it contains a variety of dumpling recipes, and each time you learn a dumpling, you will have a deeper understanding of 'dumpling' food.

In this process, even Jiang Xuan, who was wearing a pink apron, didn't dare to be careless, how could he have the extra mind to watch the live broadcast room and deal with the host's questions.

After two hours of hard work, the dishes on both sides were finally completed.
