In the evening, Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi went back together.

On the way, Wei Qiaoyi said: "When you try, don't expose too much. ”

"Why?" Gao Dian asked.

"If you expose too much, it will attract the attention of other people, and then you may not go far in the later games. At present, only the first-class pastry chef and below are participating in the competition, and the special first-class pastry chef does not participate in the competition.

In other words, the first-class pastry chef doesn't reveal anything, and if you expose too much, it will be a disadvantage for you. Wei Qiaoyi said.

"I see, you are a first-class pastry chef, and you are really special. But isn't it a little unfair to someone who is not a first-class pastry chef? Gao Dian said.

Wei Qiaoyi said: "You are not wrong to say this, there must be unfairness." But for others, it's a little unfair, but it's not very impactful. But you're different, you're also at the top level, and others aren't. ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he was a little silent.

After a while, he said, "I understand. ”

Wei Qiaoyi said with a smile: "As long as you can pass the selection competition, there is no need to compete for the ranking." Of course, you can fight if you want, but you have to remember to keep some hole cards no matter what. ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he said: "I still know this, don't worry." ”

Wei Qiaoyi smiled and didn't speak again.

She regarded Gao Dian as her opponent and took the initiative to say this, but she also didn't want Gao Dian to be eliminated prematurely.

…………

Next.

Today is the second day of the first round.

Unlike yesterday, there were five sets in total.

This is because the number of people who signed up for the competition was not 400 people, but more than a dozen people.

These people can only be arranged into the fifth group, after all, it is a little inappropriate to take an extra day to dedicate the competition.

Today, Gao Dian went with Zhou Yongqing and Feng Zhigang, but Li Dongyang did not go together.

Today, Li Dongyang is going to work in Dianxin Building, so he doesn't have time to come over.

Dianxinlou left several first-class pastry chefs at once, and the pressure on the limited dishes was relatively high.

Li Dongyang didn't have to participate in the competition today, so he asked him to stay and work.

Coming to yesterday's venue, the three of them walked in and sat in familiar positions.

Today's race started much earlier than yesterday.

There is no need to announce the rules today.

In the first group, there is Zhou Yongqing, but there is no Gao Dian.

He waited, the first group of games was over, Zhou Yongqing came back, his expression was a little dignified, and he didn't have the sense of relaxation like Li Dongyang.

Gao Dian thought for a moment and didn't ask him how he felt.

On the surface, a lot of things can be seen.

In the second group of the competition list, there is Gao Dian's name, and he stood up and prepared to go to the competition venue.

Zhou Yongqing said: "Come on!" ”

Gao Dian smiled and nodded.

At this time, Feng Zhigang said with a smile: "Lao Zhou, this competition has no pressure on Lao Gao at all. ”

When Zhou Yongqing heard this, he was stunned, and then nodded in response: "Indeed." ”

Suddenly, a voice sounded next to him: "Snort~"

The two looked over, and Feng Zhigang frowned even more: "What are you laughing at?" ”

The man who was laughing was a man who looked to be about forty or fifty years old.

"I just think it's good to be young." The man said.

The meaning of these words was understood by all three of them. Isn't it just saying that they are young and ignorant.

The two were about to say something, but Gao Dian stopped them and said, "We are indeed quite young. ”

After speaking, Gao Dian walked towards the competition venue.

Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man is also a participant in the second group.

Coming to the venue, it is a large place, but it can accommodate fifty people, and it seems a little crowded.

The position of the game is not fixed, everyone can choose their own position.

In fact, the location here makes no difference where it is.

Gao Dian chose a position close to the corner and waited for the game to begin.

Before the official start of the competition, someone will check the ingredients.

This is to prevent cheating.

It's not that you can't cheat, you can directly bring the finished pastry over, as long as the action is hidden, it is still possible to cheat successfully.

After the food is checked, the competition officially begins.

Immediately, everyone began to move.

Gao Dian took the ingredients and began to process them.

This time, the pastry he wants to make is dumplings.

However, it is not the white jade jade dumplings that Wei Qiaoyi taught him, but ordinary mushroom and pork dumplings.

The meat is carefully selected by Gaodian in the market, although it is not a pure grain pig, but the meat quality is also superior.

Shiitake mushrooms Fresh shiitake mushrooms, dried shiitake mushrooms are more suitable for stewed soup, like dumplings, or fresh shiitake mushrooms are better.

The kneading step was done quickly, and it didn't take long for his dough to be kneaded.

Now he kneaded the dough, soft and elastic.

Set aside for fermentation, and then Takanori began to process the minced meat.

He picked the pork from the beginning, and the ratio of fat to lean was suitable.

However, he did not start chopping the stuffing directly, but after refining it, he modified the fat ratio to the optimal level, and then began to chop the filling.

The chopping filling is also particular, not too fine, and there is no taste. It should not be too coarse, and it is not easy to taste and mature.

Set the minced meat aside, remove the stems of the shiitake mushrooms, leaving only the umbrella part, and cut them into equal thicknesses with the minced meat.

Mix the two, add egg whites to increase its viscosity, and then add pepper, salt, cooking wine, green onion and ginger water to taste.

The minced meat needs to be stirred to be sticky enough, and this step must be stirred by hand in one direction.

Time passed minute by minute, Gao Dian's dumpling filling was ready, and the dough was almost fermented.

Take out the dough, knead it twice more to remove any excess air from it, rub it once, and divide it into the same size with a knife.

Next, use a rolling pin to roll out the agent into a circle.

This is where the craft is tested.

In the case of no post-modification, the rounder and more uniform it can be rolled out, it proves that the craftsmanship is very high.

On the contrary, if the craftsmanship is not at home, the rolled out dumpling wrappers will not be the same.

Gao Dian's craftsmanship is excellent, and the dumpling wrappers he rolls are equal in size, shape, and thickness.

After the skin is rolled out, Gao Dian is also familiar with making dumplings.

Dumpling banquet wrapping lace, although this technique is not difficult, but it is not easy to wrap it well.

In this regard, Gao Dian is also very powerful, and he finished wrapping the dumplings in a short time, and each one looks very delicate and beautiful.

The water was boiled at the beginning, and Takanori threw the mushroom stems into the water and boiled for a while.

Taking advantage of this time, Gao Dian began to mix the dipping sauce.

In fact, the filling of dumplings is not complicated, that is, soy sauce, vinegar, if you like other flavors, you can also add chili, pepper and so on.

Gaodian uses only two condiments, one is soy sauce and the other is vinegar.

As long as the proportions are right, this simple dipping sauce is delicious enough.

Although there are only two simple seasonings, Takanori is not worried that the dumplings will not have a taste. The dumpling filling is seasoned.

After the dipping sauce is adjusted, Gao Dian then puts the dumplings down to cook.

Gao Dian also grasped the time of cooking dumplings very well, the dumpling skin was not too soft, and while retaining the taste, the filling inside was cooked.

After doing so, Gao Dian raised his hand to signal.

Because in the playing field, it is forbidden to make loud noises that affect other people's cooking.

Soon, a staff member came over and took Gao Dian's dumplings.

Gao Dian followed.

At this time, the judges are already reviewing, and Gao Dian is waiting on the side.

After a while, it was his turn.

"Huh?"

Among the judges, someone saw Gao Dian and seemed to recognize him.

Then, he explained to the person next to him in a low voice, and suddenly everyone looked at Gao Dian with a slightly different gaze.

Gao Dian's most dazzling record recently is that he has defeated a first-class pastry chef at the upper level.

In other words, this can be regarded as an upstream-level pastry chef.

Among the more than 400 people, although most of them are first-class pastry chefs, most of them are at the downstream level.

And the first-level pastry chef at the upstream level is very rare.

It can even be said that as long as you reach the upper level, you will basically be able to pass the selection competition.

Although several judges were a little surprised that this young man was Gao Dian, but now in the competition, several people did not say anything.

Each picked up the dumplings made by Takanori and began to taste them.

…………

Yuan Yuan was invited to be a judge of the selection competition.

She was only thirty years old, the youngest of the jury who looked old.

Yuan Yuan is a very famous blogger on the Internet.

She loves to travel, loves good food, and prefers to look for good food during her travels.

At the same time, she will share the food she tasted on the way with words and pictures.

Now in the world of short videos, many bloggers have switched from text sharing to video sharing.

But Yuan Yuan has always insisted on sharing with words, because she feels that words are more infectious.

Her writing is very good, and she writes food sharing articles that usually make people hungry.

Many people go to different places to check in because of her.

This time, the organizers invited her to be a judge of the selection competition.

Yuan Yuan has always been insensitive to being a judge of the cooking competition.

Although her writing is good, her eloquence is not good, and some words are formed in her mind, but she can't say it.

However, this time, she agreed to come.

Because the judges of the selection competition don't need to speak, they only need to write the scores they gave.

Without needing to comment on the food now and being able to taste the food, Yuan Yuan readily agreed.

What Yuan Yuan didn't expect was that she actually saw Gao Dian at the scene.

When Gao Dian became famous, Yuan Yuan was also a fan of Gao Dian.

No way, who can refuse a man who is handsome and especially good at cooking?

Yuan Yuan felt that she couldn't refuse.

It's a pity that she didn't taste the pastry made by Gao Dian, she was on a trip at the time, and after she came back, she was also entangled in various things.

Originally, she planned to go to Dianxin Building to try the noodles made by Gao Dian after this selection competition.

As a result, I didn't expect to meet Gao Dian in this competition.

There are some surprises, but they are also reasonable.

With Gao Dian's cooking skills, it is normal to participate in this competition.

That "Huh? It was Yuan Yuan who sent it, and she recognized Gao Dian at a glance.

Seeing Gao Dian up close, Yuan Yuan still felt very handsome.

Although she is a fan of Gao Dian, Yuan Yuan is not a nymphomaniac, and she forgets everything when she sees her idol.

She knows that she is now a judge, not a fan of Gao Dian.

Looking at the pastry of Gaodian, a dumpling.

Because the judges have a lot of noodles to eat, the amount of each serving is very small, basically just to taste the taste, and if you want to eat more, it is impossible.

Yuan Yuan picked it up with chopsticks, dipped it in the dipping sauce, and then put it in her mouth.

When the teeth bite down, the tough dumpling skin bursts instantly, the juice inside bursts, and the taste of the meat filling also explodes.

Chew slowly, the saltiness of the soy sauce just makes up for the lightness of the dumpling skin, the acidity of the vinegar makes the taste buds suddenly open, and the flavors of shiitake mushrooms and pork blend with each other, while being fragrant, it is also thick.

Yuan Yuan's eyes widened slowly, this smell ...... Absolutely!

The expressions of the other judges were about the same.

Soon, they woke up from the deliciousness of the dumplings.

Subsequently, they began to score points, which Gao Dian could not see,

There was a staff member on the side who was recording the score, and soon it was recorded, and a staff member signaled Gao Dian to leave.

Walking out of the competition venue, Gao Dian walked towards the rest area, it was almost noon at this moment.

came to the rest area and found Zhou Yongqing and Feng Zhigang.

"How? How does it feel? Zhou Yongqing asked.

"It's okay, it should be okay." Gao Dian said.

There was a sneer, and it rang out again.

Gao Dian and the three of them looked over, and it was the middle-aged man just now.

He came out a while before Gao Dian, but he didn't expect to hear the three young men bragging here.

Should I be able to get by?

What a joke!

A young man also has this kind of tone? He doesn't have this tone either, and in this competition, powerful people abound.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!

The middle-aged man said in his heart.

Zhou Yongqing frowned, wanting to reason with the middle-aged man, twice in a row, laughing at them.

Gao Dian stopped him and said, "It's not early, let's go have lunch." ”

When Zhou Yongqing heard this, he said, "Can you hold back this breath? ”

Gao Dian smiled: "The mouth grows on others, and everything has facts to speak." Let's go, I ate early, and Lao Feng still has a game in the afternoon. ”

When Zhou Yongqing heard this, he sighed and said, "You can bear it, what else can I say, let's go." ”

After that, the three of them left the place.

The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled, but didn't say anything.

At this time, a sentence came from the side: "That person, it seems to be Gao Dian, right?" ”

"It looks like it." Another said.

"That should be, this kind of competition, it's normal for him to participate."

When the middle-aged man heard this, his heart moved.

Gao Dian's name, he had heard, was a young first-class pastry chef, who was said to be very powerful. But he hadn't seen it, and he couldn't recognize it.

"Excuse me, you guys, who is the Gao Dian you just talked about?" The middle-aged man asked.

"That's it, the three of them together, the one on the far left." One of them pointed to Gao Dian and said.

The middle-aged man looked over and pointed to the young man he had just laughed at.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man was stunned, he stood in place, silent, and did not speak for a long time.
