Chapter 933: Strong Hands Like Forests
Ten minutes went by in a flash.
When Wu Min announced that 'the time is up', all the participating teams completed their specialty dishes, and for a while, the whole banquet hall was full of aroma, and the sound of swallowing saliva came and went, which was quite spectacular.
Due to the fact that people from CCTV Food Channel came to shoot today, each participating team added a program before being scored, and the people from the TV station will first shoot a close-up of the dishes, and at the same time, the chefs of the participating teams will give a short explanation of the main ingredients they use, which will be sent to the 'Gourmet' multi-functional dish reviewer for scoring.
Those chefs naturally have no opinion on this program, they wish that their dishes could be on TV, and do more publicity for the restaurant they represent, but they are CCTV, and if they want to make an advertisement, it will easily cost tens of millions of advertising dollars, where will there be such a good opportunity?
Wu Min's crisp and pleasant voice sounded on the rostrum, "Ladies and gentlemen, below, we will score each participating team in order according to the ranking order of yesterday's competition, first of all, please ask the eighth place in yesterday's competition, Chef Wu Taiqing from Guangzhou 'Tianhe' Catering Group, to introduce his entries today!" ”
As soon as Wu Min's words fell, on the big screen in front of the grand banquet hall, a cute roast pig immediately appeared, this pig was golden in color, the skin was shiny, and there was no flaw on the body, it was perfect.
The funniest thing is that the pig also has a rose in his mouth, which provokes the guests to laugh.
Wu Taiqing stood in front of the camera and introduced with a calm expression, "My entry today is one of the classic dishes in Cantonese cuisine 'crispy ru pig', this ru pig is my selected Luchuan pig, weighing 4.5 pounds, Luchuan pig is one of the eight famous pigs in China, this kind of pig skin is thin, the meat is tender, the most suitable for roast ru pig, the taste is crisp but not greasy, and the flavor is excellent." In order to make the skin of the pork crispy and crispy, I used 53 degrees Feitian Moutai to make the skin of the pig crispy......"
Listening to Wu Taiqing's introduction, the guests below couldn't help but nod secretly, they are all diners, and they are naturally no strangers to roast rue pigs, but they don't know that this roast ru pig has so much attention, which is really eye-opening.
Soon, after Wu Taiqing's introduction, the 'crispy rule pig' was sent into the 'gourmet' multi-functional dish review instrument by Miss Etiquette, and the pleasant music sounded......
The most critical time has come.
Almost everyone held their breath to see how many points Wu Taiqing's 'crispy pig' could get.
Soon, a set of scores was displayed on the big screen.
"Color: 60 points, Fragrance: 60 points, Taste: 60 points, Total points: 180 points."
Seeing this score, the audience immediately resounded with a buzzing discussion, yesterday Wu Taiqing's braised pork also scored 245 points, today's 'crispy rule pig' is obviously higher than yesterday's braised pork in terms of appearance and ingredients, how can the score just pass?
Could it be that this evaluator is wrong?
Wu Taiqing opened his mouth even wider, stunned in place, his face was blue and white, and his body trembled slightly, obviously this score was completely unexpected by him, and it hit him hard.
At this time, Wu Min's voice sounded at the right time, "Guests, contestants, please don't be nervous, I forgot to tell you that since today is the finals, before the competition, our organizing committee specially raised the evaluation level of the 'gourmet' multi-functional dish evaluation instrument from ordinary diners to gluttony, which shows that the scoring in the finals will be very strict, so this score is completely normal." ”
Hearing Wu Min's explanation, everyone's faces showed a look of sudden realization, and Wu Taiqing let out a long sigh, 180 points is 180 points, and he finally passed.
"Next, please ask the seventh place winner of yesterday's competition, Chef Liu Xiaomin from Heilongjiang 'Geely' Restaurant Group, to introduce us to his entry today!"
The image on the big screen changed, and a crystal clear, snow-white and flawless bear paw was presented in front of everyone, this bear paw was three points larger than an ordinary bear paw, and it looked full and thick, and it was very weighty.
The background of the bear's paw is a group of snow-capped mountains carved out of white radish, which is very spectacular.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what I am making today is the 'Crystal Bear's Paw', which comes from the right palm of an adult polar bear, and is specially imported from Russia by our 'Geely' Group......"
Before Liu Xiaomin finished his introduction, there was already a lot of discussion in the audience.
Many of the people present are gourmets, and although the bear's paw is precious, it is not unprecedented, but the dish made with the bear's paw of the polar bear is the first time I have seen it, and I don't know what it tastes like, so I can't help but move my index finger.
They know in their hearts that bear's paws are rare, and polar bear's paws are even more rare, and polar bears are rare animals in the world, and this bear's paw 'Geely' group is imported from Russia, or maybe it is bought from poachers.
However, the polar bear lives in the ice and snow all day long, and the veins of its four feet have long been soaked by the cold breath of the Arctic, which is naturally the most suitable for the main ingredient of the 'crystal bear paw'.
In terms of ingredients alone, the "Crystal Bear Paw" of the "Geely" Group is much more upscale than the "Crispy Ru Pig" of the "Tianhe" Group.
The score of 'Crystal Paw' was quickly displayed on the big screen.
"Color: 70 points, Fragrance: 60 points, Taste: 70 points, Total points: 200 points."
Seeing this score, almost everyone has to sigh that this multi-functional dish evaluator gives a harsh score, such an almost irreproducible high-end dish, it is only 20 points higher than Wu Taiqing's 'crispy rule pig', it is estimated that in today's final, it is difficult for the players to surpass yesterday's score.
In the following time, a series of delicacies appeared one after another, and the people who came to CCTV were really not simple, and the close-ups of the dishes were filmed like a documentary, which was impeccable in terms of shooting angles and the use of light.
The guests were dizzying, nodded their heads, and secretly admired in their hearts that this final really included the most famous chefs in the country, not only their exquisite skills and skills, but also the ingredients used are all rare treasures in the world.
As the competition progressed, the scores of a group of groups were displayed on the big screen, and the total score of almost every participating team exceeded 180 points, and the highest score was Qin Fangyi, the head chef from Shandong 'Taifu' Group, who got a total score of 235 points.
His 'Eight Treasures' includes eight precious plant-based ingredients, all of which are more than 200 years old, making them superb.
Wu Taiqing has long been convinced, compared with these rare ingredients, his 'Luchuan pig' is too ordinary, and the 180 points are not wronged.
I secretly regretted it in my heart, knowing this, I persuaded the chairman to take out a piece of Italian Tuscan white truffle that he treasured and use it, otherwise he would not be so passive.
Seeing so many exquisite dishes that are usually rare, Xiao Yu and others were also eye-opening, Shi Jianlong and others couldn't help but get nervous in their hearts, this competition can be described as a strong player, whether their boss can beat the group and take the lead, their hearts are really bottomless.
"Next, please ask the third place winner of yesterday's competition, Chef Zhang Xiaoyu from Shanghai 'Feiyu' Restaurant Group, to introduce his entry today!"
Wu Min's voice came from the rostrum, and the hearts of Shi Jianlong and the others suddenly rose to their throats......
