After a simple greeting with Xie Wenlong, Chen Hu came to his kitchen counter and stood still, put down his knife, sat down on the chair prepared on the side, closed his eyes, slowed down his breathing, and adjusted his state of imminent competition.

After all, the other party is a veteran senior chef, and no one knows what hole cards he has, and whether he has already peeked into the special doorway, so even if he is completely sure, Chen Hu does not dare to take it too lightly.

What's more, judging from the handicap accompaniment rate described by Abin that day, it also clearly shows that Wu Ping is not simple, and even in terms of giving people the feeling, he is stronger than Chen Hu, who has been quite bright recently, otherwise how could the dealer on the other side of the handicap call up a lower accompaniment rate than his winning side?

It's hard not for Chen Hu to pay attention.

After about ten minutes, Wu Ping and his entourage appeared in the venue.

Yes, Wu Ping did not come alone, but a large group! However, most of them were the kitchen staff of a certain building, and then there were the front hall runners and the shopkeeper of a certain building.

It can be seen that a certain building attaches great importance to this food bucket.

But think about it again, compared with the newly rising Chen Family Restaurant, so-and-so can be said to be a time-honored brand in Shencheng, which has been established for decades, and this list can be seen from the number of kitchen helpers in their line, which is far from being comparable to Chen Hu's kitchen with only one washing cook.

Although this is also related to the fact that Chen Hu's kitchen has a secret, it is not suitable for large-scale recruitment of kitchen assistants.

Therefore, as the chef of a certain building at this time, Wu Ping's battle is equivalent to bringing a watch to a certain building, which invisibly turns the competition between the two chefs into a contest between two restaurants, so the victory or defeat of this time will no longer simply represent whose cooking skills are high, but also invisibly announce to the audience that the dishes of the restaurant are more delicious.

This is tantamount to invisibly pushing a wave of advertisements to the winner, making the winner's restaurant business even more hot, and the restaurant suffers.

Therefore, it is no wonder that a certain restaurant is so popular.

After Wu Ping and Wenlong exchanged pleasantries, he took his knife box from the little apprentice, walked into the ring with the box, and stood down next to his kitchen counter.

However, his eyes were always fixed on Chen Hu, and a touch of contempt flashed in his eyes from time to time, faintly showing his feelings for Chen Hu.

Hmph, let me Wu Ping expose your false face. Wu Ping secretly sneered in his heart.

It can be seen that no matter what industry or industry, there is no escape from the interests of the word 'name'.

......

"When the time comes, I will announce the rules of the competition, as well as introduce the identities of the participants and the judges. Xie Wenlong raised his eyes and looked at the sky, walked to the center of the ring, exhaled and opened his voice, as if he had brought his own printing equipment, and his loud and broad voice directly covered the audience around the venue, and said loudly.

I didn't see that Minister Xie Wenlong, who is usually Si Wenwen, is still a master of the inner family, so profound skills, at least in the dynasty, he can't be so understated, and he can't do it to this extent.

couldn't help but glance at him when Chen Hu raised his eyes.

Xie Wenlong didn't seem to be aware of it, and still said loudly to the audience below, "This food fight is a one-game system, and the winner is determined by one game, and it is not possible to play another game." The cooking time is two hours, and the competition questions are divided by the judges, and then selected by lottery. The materials and kitchenware are all prepared by the chef's guild, and all the certificates have been verified to ensure that there are no problems in all links and to ensure that the food bucket process is fair and notarized. ”

"Let me introduce to you the judges and witnesses of this food fight, they are: the head chef of the back hall from Linjiang Restaurant, and the special chef Mr. Lin Ziyue Lin. ”

The first person on the left side of the judges' seat, with a red face, full of spirits, and a majestic old man with neat white hair nodded slightly, indicating that he was Lin Ziyue.

He looked to be around sixty years old, with a slightly fat physique, and was dressed in a Tang costume, which made him look like a rich family member more than a chef.

"From the Chef Guild, the supervisor who is responsible for the certification of chef grades, Master Wang Wenju. ”

This is also a special chef, although there is no expeditious report, but the fact that he can sit here and take on that kind of position shows that his culinary skills are high.

"The head chef from Tengyun Pavilion in the city, Xu Jingxian, who has the strength of a super chef, Master Xu!"

The so-called Master Chef strength means that he has the corresponding strength, but has not passed the Master Chef exam and has not obtained formal certification as a quasi-Master Chef.

It was another high-ranking person, which made Chen Hu can't help but glance sideways.

Maybe next year's Grand Chef exam venue, this one may be his competitor.

The latter nodded slightly, and also greeted everyone with simple etiquette, so that he was not arrogant.

"A senior senior chef from Qu Fang Lou, Master Qu Yunqu. ”

This is a woman, looking at the age of about forty years old, very well maintained, fair and smooth skin without wrinkles, with charming and seductive phoenix eyes, it looks very familiar with the charm of a mature woman, so that the men below are thrilled when they see it, and they can't help but show some color and soul teaching.

"And from the Shencheng Lan family, the grandson of the king-level chef Lan Feihong, the helmsman of the contemporary Feihong Restaurant, and the Lin-level chef Lan Jing Lin Lan. ”

This time, before Xie Wenlong's words fell, the crowd in the audience resounded with an extraordinary uproar, and then warm applause and whistling sounded to show their welcome to Lan Jinglin.

Its popularity is like a star in later generations, and it is no wonder that the people of the chef's guild feel uneasy.

Correspondingly, Lan Jinglin also stood up and raised his hand to respond to the support of the people.

For a while, the protagonist in the field changed greatly, from Xie Wenlong to Lan Jinglin.

Fortunately, he still remembered his identity at this time, and stopped after a slight signal, giving up the position of the protagonist to Xie Wenlong in the ring again.

Xie Wenlong nodded and took it, as if it didn't exist before, and simply introduced the identities of Chen Hu and Wu Ping, and officially announced that he had entered the stage of solving the problem, and the waiter from the chef's guild sent pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the five chefs to write the topic.

In just a moment, the five of them wrote the test questions and threw them into a box, which was held by the waiter and sent to Xie Wenlong.

"Now I'm going to draw the title of today's food fight......"

As he spoke, Xie Wenlong stretched his hand out of the box, shook it a few times, grabbed a paper ball with his hand, opened it with his hand, and revealed the words written on it-fresh!

In other words, the theme of this food fight is 'freshness'.

"Fresh ......"

The first thing Chen Hu thought of was the freshness of fish. After all, there is fish in the fresh word, and the fresh word itself is to describe fish and seafood, so the first impression of subconsciously seeing this word is fish, then all kinds of aquatic products, and then meat.

It's just that in terms of meat, it is even more difficult to make a fresh feeling, except for live sheep, it can be achieved.

Chen Hu quickly glanced at the surrounding material tables, decisively gave up the difficulty of the challenge, and used mutton to bring out the umami.

The reason is simple, just because there are chickens, ducks, fish, and sheep on the material table, except for small poultry, pork, sheep and other large domestic animals are all meat! Therefore, even if it is newly killed flesh and blood, Chen Hu cannot use them to make fresh meat.

The reason is just as simple, just because of the lack of blood.

Because you want to burst fresh, you can't do without them.

"It seems that we can only work on aquatic products. Immediately, Chen Hu did not hesitate and walked quickly towards the material table.
