Chen Hu walked to the kitchen counter with the corresponding number according to the number on his number plate.

On the left-hand side is a woman standing with the sign as player No. 46, and the stove on the right-hand side is vacant, waiting for the next player to arrive.

Of course, this time did not last long, and in just a moment, a bald man with a height of more than two meters, long shoulders and a round waist, who looked like more people and bears than cooks, appeared next to the stove next to Chen Hu.

Looking at the image of the other party, Chen Hu suddenly remembered the origin of the latter, after all, the image is too distinct, and it is impossible to remember it.

The other party's name is Tu Su, a person from Chu State, who is domineering and abnormal in Hunan cuisine, and gives full play to the characteristics of Hunan cuisine on the original basis, not to mention eating, the choking chili pepper smell alone is enough to make people who can't eat spicy food thank you and retreat directly.

In the previous month, he had experienced two kitchen fights, both of which were won by big victories, and he was a tough opponent who was feared by everyone.

The latter glanced at Chen Hu, nodded slightly, said hello, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

It's obviously a character who doesn't talk much.

After that, after another half a day, almost noon, all the personnel were screened, and finally more than 100 people were left in the field.

It can be seen that this group of candidates who came to the exam is strong.

"There are more than 100 people, which is not what I want to see. A man with a dignified face walked up to the judging podium, looked down at the chef below who had almost filled the entire arena, and said coldly.

"So I decided to give it another try, to sift out the promiscuity among you. ”

As soon as these words came out, most of the chefs who thought that they would be able to officially start the special sprint after the primary selection suddenly changed their faces and made a low noise.

All kinds of dissatisfaction, complaints, and clamors resounded in the center of the venue.

It's just that obviously, it's useless, just listen to the man standing in front of the judges' seat shouting fiercely, "Shut up!"

The sound resounded throughout the venue like the roar of a lion in Buddhism, covering all the noise, impacting the candidates' eardrums, making everyone involuntarily quiet, and even making some candidates change color.

This kind of skill is not something that ordinary chefs can have, and at the very least, it should be a first-class master in the acquired realm, or even innate!

Chen Hu pursed his lips, and had some guesses about the man's identity, if it was not bad, the other party was the legendary combat chef, the martial arts faction among the chefs, no wonder he was so domineering.

"If there is any more noise, one cover will be treated as unqualified and expelled from the arena. After the examinee calmed down, his face did not appear to be pale, and the man who looked ordinary announced lightly.

It was still plain, but the sound was as if it had been amplified by magic, and it resounded clearly in everyone's ears.

It's just that this time, although there are still many candidates who have changed color, there is no more noise just now.

After all, the man on the judges' bench has already said that if he dares to make a noise, he will drive people out, no matter whether his words are true or false, for the next exam, the candidates do not dare to try and challenge the authority.

They don't want to lose their qualifications and wait another three years.

The Master Chef exam is held every three years!

"Very good, let me talk about the requirements for the second round of assessment. Seeing that no one responded below, the man in front of the judges' table nodded with satisfaction and continued, "My request is very simple, that is, to complete the Wensi tofu dish within an hour. At that time, I will judge your results based on your respective speed, degree of completion, and taste. ”

"Do you understand?" the group nodded.

"Let's get started!"

Then the man pulled a chair from behind the judges' table, sat down in front of the judges' table, and looked around with interest at the candidates who were flocking to the food racks on both sides.

"Let me see your basics. ”

Yes, this test may seem like an impromptu idea, but as far as the exam questions are concerned, it is the most suitable dish to test the basic skills of many chefs who will be on the show again. As for the reason, it is very simple, because Wensi Tofu is the most important dish among the existing ordinary dishes, which are the two basic skills of chefs. Therefore, if you want to complete it, you can't do it without superb sword skills and fire control foundations.

Other than that, the time limit is another hidden test. As we all know, the soup base of Wensi tofu soup is made of clear chicken soup, in other words, if you want to complete Wensi tofu, you have to boil a bowl of good soup! And boiling soup is precisely the most time-consuming process, moving for ten or twenty minutes, half an hour or seven or eight hours, one or two or three days, everything only depends on the material and purpose.

For example, the chicken soup to be used this time is relatively simple compared to old soups and broths, which take seven or eight hours or even a day to brew, but it also takes more than 40 minutes to cook.

And this is just the basics, if you want to make a better soup, you can't stop for an hour or two, and six or seven hours is not too much, so just an hour is also in demand for all the chefs present, and if you are not careful, you will give up all your achievements, and you will not even have a chance to start again, so they can't help but be careless.

So from the side, this is also a test of the ability of all the chefs present to withstand pressure, as well as the proficiency in cooking, and it is absolutely difficult for non-qualified chefs to pass this hurdle.

As for what to do if you don't know how to make this dish? That can only be blamed on your bad luck and blame others, anyway, the judge above will never choose another exam question to give those candidates a chance again.

After all, as the saying goes, luck is also part of strength, isn't it?

......

Through a competition, competition and eyesight competition, Chen Hu successfully obtained all the ingredients needed to make Wensi tofu from the ingredient rack - several pieces of tofu, winter bamboo shoots, live chicken, ham, fresh shiitake mushrooms and lettuce, as well as basic condiments such as salt, and returned to the kitchen table.

Then Chen Hu took out the kitchen knife, took the empty bowl, and directly cut the neck of the chicken with a sharp knife, letting go of the chicken blood.

Compared with the way of killing with blood directly from foreigners, it is better to kill with blood by Chinese people! It can remove the residue of blood and the impact of residual blood hardening on the meat quality of animals to the greatest extent, so that the natural taste of meat can be volatilized to the greatest extent.

Although it may seem cruel......

Then Chen Hu called the staff at the scene and asked them to help him get a pile of wet yellow mud, as if he was a flower chicken, and called the yellow mud directly on the chicken that had lost its life, until it became a mud ball, and then walked to the stove with the mud ball, lit the stove fire, and directly used the fire control to cause the explosion to bake the mud ball.

In this kind of time needs to be pressed to the limit of the cooking state, to remove the chicken feathers is not good to use the traditional way of scalding, waste of time not to say, the hair is not very clean, need to be reprocessed, but not as good as Chen Hu is now so happy, as long as the soil is dry, the shell is cracked, the chicken feathers with the root and the chicken body skin oil will be separated from the chicken with the cracked soil, convenient and simple, is the only way to survive in the wild to deal with chickens.

Chen Hu also saw it occasionally in a wilderness survival program at the beginning, but he didn't use it here now.

Then Chen Hu took a knife and cut open the belly of the chicken and began to re-treat the chicken......
