Chapter 256: Looking Up at the Stars
Twelve chefs, each standing behind the twelve stoves, and not far from the stoves is the ingredient section, which is provided by the Fantasy Manor and some chambers of commerce.
Chefs in the main competition can take ingredients from above for free to make this dish, which is a small benefit for these chefs who have passed the preliminary round.
Of course, chefs can also bring their own ingredients without using ingredients from the food section.
"The title of this contest is fish!" Vivien announced the contest questions.
Twelve chefs, even three of them stepped forward, walked to the ingredients section and chose the ingredients they needed, one chef picked a sturgeon, one chef picked a hairtail, and one chef picked a cuttlefish.
Green's gaze wandered between the three chefs.
The sturgeon is steamed, the fish is soup, and the green of the cuttlefish is not visible for the time being.
He was followed by four other chefs.
Two chefs chose snowfish, one chose herring, and one chose tuna meat.
The tuna is relatively large, and the food area is not that big to put it, but it is still fresh, and the fishing team only caught it from the sea this morning and sent it quickly by horse-drawn cart.
The remaining five chefs are still thinking.
The official competition stipulates the content of the cuisine, which may not be fair to some chefs in some ways, such as the theme of fish, which some chefs may not have tried before.
And those who started to choose ingredients as soon as they heard the question must have been the corresponding dishes they had made before, and they still have a certain degree of confidence in their own dishes.
Those who haven't moved yet, maybe they haven't been exposed to fish cooking, or they don't have much confidence in the fish cuisine they have mastered.
Suddenly, a chef walked up to Vivien.
"Judge, may I go out?"
"What are you going out for?"
"I don't have any ingredients for my cooking, so I want to buy some outside. ”
Vivien frowned.
Immediately, Vivien glanced back in the direction where Green was, then at the chef, and said, "Yes, when you come back, you can only bring the ingredients, not other things that have already been cooked." ”
"And your time, like any other chef, is only two hours, and no matter what you're doing for those two hours, after two hours, you have to serve your own food, and if you exceed that time, you're not qualified. ”
"I see. With that, the chef quickly left the playing field.
The onlookers were talking.
Even the other chefs who were competing took a look at it as well.
"Why did the chef leave halfway?
"No, the judges didn't release the information about the chef's elimination. ”
"But isn't that a rule-breaker?"
Vivien stood on the high platform, looked around, and said, "Because the ingredients in the ingredients section are not fully prepared, the chef is allowed to use his own ingredients, you can bring them in advance, or you can buy them after hearing the question." ”
"But it's not allowed to bring back the dishes that have already been made. ”
"At the same time, the time does not grow, only two hours. ”
As soon as Vivian said this, everyone understood what was going on just now, and felt that this was understandable, and it made no sense to say that other chefs must use ingredients from your food section.
Two more chefs walked out and walked towards the ingredients section.
There were only two chefs who remained silent, one of the chefs was a middle-aged woman, dressed in the same way as normal, probably just the person in charge of cooking in a certain family, not like a restaurant chef.
In the end, the chef was a teenager, thirteen or fourteen years old, like a chef's apprentice, but since he was able to pass the preliminaries, he either really had some strength or luck.
The middle-aged woman walked to the food area, walked to the location where the sturgeon was, and picked them one by one, and then, a fat sturgeon entered the middle-aged woman's bamboo tower.
After that, the middle-aged woman went to the fruit section to pick some fruits.
The boy sat cross-legged on the ground, closing in contemplation, he had been in this state for a long time, and half an hour had passed in the blink of an eye, and the boy still had no intention of opening his eyes.
The chef who had gone out to buy ingredients had returned, bringing back a strange-looking fish, not from the ocean, but from some kind of freshwater river.
It's not big, and it looks hideous.
An hour passed, and the teenager with his eyes closed finally opened his eyes.
Countless people's eyes didn't attract it, there was no way, just the twelve chefs, the other chefs had already started their own cooking, and the young man didn't move yet.
Some people think that the boy must be thinking seriously about the magic weapon to win, and others think that the boy is grandstanding, but either way, people will be a little interested in the boy.
"I'm done!"
One of the chefs let out a loud shout and stopped what he was doing.
"Send it up. Vivien glanced at the other chefs.
Twelve chefs start at the same time, but the time required is naturally different depending on the cooking, so it makes no sense to say that twelve chefs should serve the dishes together.
In that case, it is not good, and the ones that are tasted after being tasted by the judges are definitely not dominant, and maybe they are already cold, and for some dishes, the difference between cold and hot is very large.
A huge plate was brought to the judges, and the chef stood at the table.
"Tell me about it. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the name of my dish is Sturgeon Burger, and the main ingredients are sturgeon and flour, which is kneaded into small dough and sandwiched between two dough doughs, then sprinkled with condiments and baked. ”
Green raised his eyebrows slightly, isn't this a burger, but compared to the burgers of that world, the taste of this burger is probably worse, after all, the difference between flour and sturgeon meat is too big, and the effect of taking it in and roasting it is not very good.
If you can handle it separately and then combine it, it's not bad, but it's better to add some greens.
Several judges glanced at each other, picked up the sturgeon burger in front of them, and began to taste it.
Bolt's brow moved slightly, and he took a bite and didn't eat again.
Anroth was more face-saving, and ate two bites, a mouthful of bread and a mouthful of sturgeon meat.
The two palace cooks took a direct look at it and put it down.
Vivien wasn't very optimistic about the dish, but she did take a bite anyway.
Instinctively, Vivien wanted to point out the shortcomings of this dish, but it was probably too many shortcomings, and the words were gone.
"I'm all right too!" the second chef walked up.
Lifting the lid on the plate, several fish heads were suddenly revealed.
Green was stunned for a moment, isn't this the legendary looking up at the starry sky?
