The next day, everyone arrived at the venue of the exchange meeting one after another.

Today and yesterday are not in the same place, yesterday was mainly about exchanging experiences, the venue was in a synagogue, and today is a culinary exchange.

Gao Dian was carrying a backpack, he had come by taxi, and the backpack contained his ingredients and tools.

As soon as he walked in the door, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on his head.

Today they are not the protagonists, today's protagonists are Gao Dian and some other people, and the competition between them is the main event.

Everyone is curious about how this competition will turn out.

Gao Dian dared to speak wildly, and he must have something to rely on. Although they don't like this young man very much, they have to admit that this young man is really powerful.

After all, Gao Dian's achievements are also obvious to all.

It is precisely because of Gao Dian's excellence that some of them feel uneasy and unwilling.

Gao Dian is progressing too fast, maybe it won't be long before he can be on an equal footing with them, or even run to them.

Not to mention, Gao Dian still didn't follow the rules like this, which made them even more unhappy.

Gao Dian didn't care about everyone's eyes, he didn't care too much, just quietly found a place to wait.

There are a few more people attending the exchange meeting today than yesterday.

In fact, after Gao Dian's arrogant actions spread yesterday, many people wanted to come and take a look.

But they were all rejected by Du Dawei and ten others.

This exchange meeting must not be made into a miasma, even if there are contradictions and disputes, there is no need for others to come and watch.

It's like the last fig leaf, that's the bottom line.

The extra ones were originally going to come to the exchange meeting, but they weren't chefs, so they didn't participate in yesterday's exchange meeting.

But today's exchange meeting should have a place for them.

As time passed, the personnel arrived one after another.

Du Dawei stood up and said: "Today's pastry exchange is still in accordance with the previous rules. ”

With that, he nodded to the other nine and led the way into the kitchen.

The newcomers sat there, talking to each other in whispers.

According to the previous rules, Gao Dian knows what the rules are, although he is a newcomer, he also knows the process of the exchange meeting.

Each pastry chef represents a restaurant or restaurant, and they will make a pastry for evaluation, and the final score is related to the ranking of the final list.

Although this venue is not small, it can accommodate more than 100 people to make pastries at the same time, so it will be made in batches.

And this batch is according to the previous ranking.

In the top 10 restaurants or restaurants, the first batch cooks, and others are not allowed to enter the kitchen until the cooking is finished.

The latter ones are different, although they also enter the kitchen according to the ranking, but they can be crossed.

For example, when the person in front of you finishes using the stove, the person behind can take over and use it, without having to wait for the person in front to finish cooking before using it.

This kind of cross-style use is familiar to everyone, in fact, they are often like this in their work.

This is also to ensure that everyone can finish cooking within the limited time of the exchange meeting.

In terms of judging, the first ten special first-class pastry chefs are also different from the first-class pastry chefs in the back.

Their competitions were separated.

Because the level of the first-class pastry chef is already higher than that of the first-class pastry chef, it makes no sense to put them together to compete and compete.

It can be said that the ranking of the first-class pastry chefs has been fixed in the top ten, and as long as they are not the first-class pastry chefs, they will not be able to enter the top ranking.

The judging of the first-class pastry chefs will be scored by several invited guests, and at the same time, they will also score each other.

The first-class pastry chefs are scored by invited guests and ten special first-class pastry chefs.

The reason why there are special first-class pastry chefs to lock the top ten rankings is, on the one hand, because the level of the first-class pastry chefs is higher than that of first-class pastry chefs, and on the other hand, it also ensures that the scoring is fair to a certain extent.

Of course, this scoring mechanism cannot be absolutely fair.

As for the invited guests, they have their own identities.

Some are editors-in-chief of food magazines, while others are well-known foodies.

However, these people are local, and no one from other places is invited.

The reason for this is also to ensure the credibility of this ranking.

As a newcomer who has no ranking, he can only enter the kitchen to make pastries in the last batch.

No way, there are rules, not unspoken rules.

The last one to go in, of course, is an extremely unfavorable situation for Gao Dian.

The front pastry will fill the stomachs of the judges who scored it, and the perception of taste will be greatly reduced.

Take an extreme example.

When a person hasn't eaten for three days, any bowl of ordinary white rice feels like a delicacy in the world. And a person who is full of food feels that nothing is delicious.

In the same way, after the people in front of him are full, Gao Dian naturally occupies a disadvantage.

Even though these judges only taste one bite of each pastry, it is enough for so many people to eat.

This is not fair to the people behind it, but where is absolute fairness?

It is natural for people to rank high and occupy some advantages.

Gao Dian could understand, so he stood in the corner and watched quietly.

Time passed slowly, and the pastries were presented.

It's not the same, even if it's the same pastry, there are differences.

Gao Dian opened his eyes and saw the gorgeous and colorful pastry world.

It was not until the afternoon, near evening, that it was his turn to enter the kitchen.

His opponents have already been made, and the scores have come out, and the highest one has a score of 74 points.

This score is neither high nor low, but it is not a small challenge for Gao Dian.

Although this exchange meeting was also graded on a 100-point scale, no one was rated on a 60-point scale.

Sixty points here represent an impeccable level.

In other words, only when you reach an impeccable level can you get 60 points, which is only equivalent to the downstream level of a first-class pastry chef.

And 70 points is equivalent to being in the middle of the first-class pastry master.

Eighty points belong to the upper reaches, and more than 90 points are also the domain of the first-class pastry chefs.

Impeccable is not really impeccable, but simply represents an expression that a pastry has reached a fairly high level in all aspects.

After reaching this level, it is possible to continue to improve.

After that, there is no clear level.

The so-called upstream, midstream and downstream represent the general level of this pastry chef in the general environment.

The first-level pastry chef at the midstream level is indeed quite a tricky opponent for Gao Dian.

His previous level was in the lower reaches, not to mention that he won the runner-up in the International Young Chef Cooking Competition, but his real level is in the lower reaches of the first-class pastry chef.

Young pastry chefs, after all, have less precipitation, and it is already very remarkable to be able to become a first-class pastry chef at this age.

It's hard to reach the midstream or even the upper reaches at such a young age.

This is also why many senior pastry chefs do not attach so much importance to the runner-up of this competition, because the level is there.

At the midstream level, it doesn't sound like a big deal, but Gao Dian knows that this is not the case. This upper, middle and lower is placed in the general environment, and it is already very powerful to be able to be at the midstream level.

He had no confidence to surpass, but Gao Dian had no fear in his heart.

Just like Wei Qiaoyi told him yesterday, he is still very young.

The moment he walked into the kitchen, Gao Dian saw that there were still many people who were busy, and they had walked into the kitchen before.

When Gao Dian walked in, many people's eyes fell on him.

Gao Dian found a vacant countertop and began to make noodles.

He took out the ingredients and laid them out on the countertop, including some bottles and cans.

One bottle was a bottle of water, and the other was also a can of lard.

The pastry he wants to make is the lily cake!

He still has knife-cut noodles in his hand, but he didn't choose to make knife-cut noodles because he didn't have enough time.

He was the last to enter the kitchen, and there was not much time in the first place, which was also one of his weaknesses. After all, the one who enters the kitchen first has more time to make it.

The soup base of the knife-cut noodles needs to be boiled for a long time.

In contrast, the time to make the lily cake is shorter.

There is a more important reason, he wants to try his improved lily crisp recipe, what kind of level is it, and whether it can be recognized by everyone.

This is important.

What is called improved formula is not that the head is hot, and changing it at will is called improvement, but it can be recognized by others.

This is the first battle of the lily cake after Gao Dian's improved formula.

Gao Dian first mixed the oil and water surface, and he poured out the bottle of clear water-like liquid, which was not pure water, but lily dew.

As soon as he poured it out, Gao Dian smelled the fragrance of lilies.

The lard is also soaked in lilies, with the scent of lilies.

Both and go to the inside of the flour, so that the flour is brought with the fragrance of lilies.

He was just halfway through when he was suddenly touched, causing Gao Dian to move.

He turned his head disapprovingly and looked at the man.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice just now, I accidentally bumped into you." The man smiled and apologized.

Gao Dian frowned, he didn't know this person, not among those who competed with him, and the people who were still making noodles here at this time were some people who were at the bottom and didn't even rank in the rankings.

Gao Dian didn't hear much sincerity in this person's apology.

And his so-called carelessness, Gao Dian didn't believe it too much.

Being disturbed during the production process, and this kind of physical contact will disrupt the rhythm of a pastry chef, which is a big taboo. They are all first-class pastry chefs, and it is impossible not to understand this truth.

Generally speaking, attention will be paid to avoidance, and such a problem will not occur.

This person may not have been "accidental", but most likely intentionally.

But Gao Dian has no evidence, it's all his speculation, maybe people are really careless.

Gao Dian took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, be careful next time." ”

The man smiled and walked away, not saying anything more.

Gao Dian turned his head and took a few deep breaths, he had just been disrupted and he had to get it back.

Fortunately, Gao Dian's basic skills are profound, and there are no major problems.

When I was with the puff pastry, there was no more disturbance, which made Gao Dian think that he was thinking too much.

He was a little self-deprecating, he was too suspicious.

He sets the dough aside to wake up and prepares the filling.

The recipe of this filling, Gao Dian has improved it by himself, and it is already very different from the original.

The main thing is that one more ingredient has been added, which has led to a big change in the whole recipe.

Today's recipe is Gao Dian's little by little tried, and it is the best recipe he can think of at present, and if he wants to improve it, he may have to wait for his cooking skills to be higher.

While making the filling, he was "accidentally" disturbed again, this time by a different person.

Gao Dian was also not angry, but he no longer thought in his heart that it was really careless.

Twice!

Is it really so much "careless" to be disturbed twice? Gao Dian was not convinced.

They are all first-class pastry chefs, so it's impossible not to even understand the rules of avoidance, right?

He readjusted his mindset and rhythm and continued to produce.

After the filling is made, the dough is almost awake and ready to wrap.

The two doughs are mixed, folded and rolled out separately by the high canon, and the layering appears, which is not visible now, and can be seen when the oil pan is fried.

Make it in the shape of a lily bone, swipe it with a special knife, and set it aside.

Gao Dian didn't make too many, just a dozen, just one for each judge.

He had done more before, but he was "accidentally" disturbed twice, and he didn't plan to do more.

Twice disturbed, he spent a lot of time adjusting himself, and if he did too much, time did not allow it.

There is one last step left, and that is to fry in the pan.

He is not connected to the countertop and the stove, and he now needs to go to the stove and fry it.

Gao Dian saw an empty stove, he walked over with something, and suddenly a person crowded in front of him and occupied the stove.

Gao Dian frowned and said, "I saw this stove first. ”

The man sneered and said, "You saw it first?" How do you prove it? This is my first place, naturally I will use it first, if you want to use it, just wait. ”

Gao Dian narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and turned to leave, looking for another stove.

He really had no evidence to prove that he saw it first, and although he was squeezed by the man, it was indeed the stove he occupied first.

After the vacant stove was occupied, there were no other vacant stoves.

Gao Dian had to wait in the distance, and the people in the kitchen slowly left, one after another, but the stove was still not empty.

Suddenly, Gao Dian found something that made him a little angry, there were three people from the stove, occupied, but nothing was done!

You occupy it first, Gao Dian doesn't say anything, but if you occupy it and don't cook, it makes Gao Dian a little angry.

He held back his anger and calmed his mind.

He knows that he can't be dominated by anger now, pastry chefs need a peace of mind, anger can make people make mistakes.

The more angry he is, the more proud the other party is, and he can't mess around now.
