The second round of the group stage begins.

In the morning, it was Wei Qiaoyi's game, and in the afternoon it was Gao Dian's game.

As before, Gao Dian sat in the audience and watched Wei Qiaoyi play.

He didn't care too much about Wei Qiaoyi, because according to Wei Qiaoyi's strength, there was no pressure to pass the group stage.

Among the 168 people, the largest number of people are from the area where Gao Dian is located.

There are also in other regions, but there are not as many of them.

Among the 168 people, dozens of them are first-class pastry chefs.

That is, in this competition, if you change the competition, you will not see so many special first-class pastry chefs.

Time passes slowly, and in the second round, you have to be much more cautious.

Not as fast as the first round.

When it was close to noon, Wei Qiaoyi finally finished making the pastry, and she walked down with a relaxed face.

came to Gao Dian's side and said to Gao Dian, "Let's go." ”

Gao Dian got up and responded: "Okay, let's go." ”

The two walked out of the arena, and Gao Dian asked, "You seem to be in a good mood today." ”

Wei Qiaoyi said: "That's for sure, I figured out something. ”

Hearing this, Gao Dian nodded, without asking more.

He had a guess in his mind.

Wei Qiaoyi walked briskly, with a slight smile on her face, and her beautiful eyes looked forward to it.

After Du Dawei's enlightenment, she figured out some things.

She no longer bothered about any championships, she understood that she should come here based on experience.

It's not that she can't win the championship, it's just that her current strength level is still a little worse, and the time to enter the special first-class pastry chef is too short.

Compared with the veteran first-class pastry chef, she is too immature now.

Of course, Wei Qiaoyi is no longer entangled in the championship, and it doesn't mean that she doesn't try her best to compete.

She should do her best or do her best.

She wants to see how far she can go in this competition!

"By the way, you said that after our game, do you want to play in the capital?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.

Gao Dian was a little moved.

The great names of the capital, especially some famous scenic spots located in the capital, can often be seen on TV, but Gao Dian has not actually been there.

Some people may wonder, has you never been to the capital once?

But that's what happened to Gao Dian.

When I was a child, my family didn't have much money, and when I grew up, I didn't have much money. Now it's a little saving, and it's no longer so tight, but Gao Dian doesn't have time.

This time, he came to the capital, and it was the first time he came.

Since he was going to participate in this competition, Gao Dian did not go out to visit the attractions.

Now that Wei Qiaoyi suddenly mentioned it, Gao Dian suddenly felt a little moved.

"But...... We're going to have a contest yet! Gao Dian hesitated.

Wei Qiaoyi smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go after the game." It just so happens that I haven't been to the capital for a long time, and there are some attractions that I visited when I was a child, and I haven't been there again since I grew up. ”

"After the game......... Aren't we going back? Gao Dian asked.

"I want to go back, but it's okay to delay for two days, anyway, Chef Yao is here, and there won't be any problems in Dianxin Building." Wei Qiaoyi said.

Gao Dian's heart was suddenly moved, and he said: "Okay, let's go to the capital to visit the attractions after the game." ”

Wei Qiaoyi nodded in response, and the two made this agreement.

When they came outside, the two of them dealt with each other briefly, and after eating, Wei Qiaoyi and Gao Dian went back to the hotel room to rest for a while.

In the afternoon, there is also a game in Gaodian, so it is best to be able to take a break and nourish your spirit.

Time flew by and it was time for the afternoon game.

Walking into the arena, Gao Dian's mental state slowly gathered, and he entered the state of the game.

The ingredients that belonged to each of them were brought up and placed on the board of the high ceremony.

As soon as the ingredients came up, Gao Dian began to process the ingredients, racing against time and not daring to delay for a moment.

The pastry that Gao Dian is going to cook today is a dish called crab roe soup dumplings.

This is actually a kind of soup dumpling, but this is based on crab roe, which is better than ordinary soup dumplings.

Because the ingredients are more expensive.

Crabs are relatively expensive ingredients, and people at the beach may be able to eat them a little cheaper, but in the inland, the price of crabs is very expensive.

Not to mention crab roe!

The crab roe that a crab can produce is extremely limited, and it is not able to produce too much crab roe.

This also results in the price of crab roe being quite expensive.

Because of its high cost and scarcity, crab roe has become a high-end ingredient.

Among the many pastries, as long as you bring crab roe, you have a feeling that this pastry is instantly tall.

Most of these pastries with crab roe actually use just a little bit of crab roe.

But in the recipe left by Mr. Wei, the crab roe soup dumpling recorded requires a lot of crab roe.

For soup dumplings, Gao Dian's interest is relatively large.

He had taught himself before, but he had learned the recipes on the Internet, and he had not learned any secret recipes.

When he saw that there was such a soup dumpling in the recipe left by the teacher, Gao Dian was extremely excited.

Because of the soup dumplings that he had been longing for, he was finally able to learn a secret recipe.

Soon, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

The price of crab roe soup dumplings is too expensive!

Pastry requires practice, and no matter how good your cooking skills are, you can't just look at the recipe to make it. It's not surprising that you can learn by looking at a recipe, but you can't do it well by looking at it.

It is precisely for this reason that although Gao Dian likes this pastry, he is not too good at it.

Because the price of ingredients is too high, he can't afford to practice.

Of course, it was not completely without practice, he still gritted his teeth and practiced many times. But compared to other pastries. The number of exercises is minimal, very rare.

The first thing to deal with in the crab roe soup dumplings is eight crabs.

The eight crabs need to be steamed and then peeled out.

Peeling crabs alone is extremely time-consuming.

Of course, knowing a professional pastry chef, reasonable time arrangement is a must.

At the time of steaming the crabs, Takanori began to make noodles.

The skin of making soup dumplings is actually somewhat similar to making dumplings.

It is thinner than the regular bun skin and needs to be carefully rolled out with a rolling pin.

The dough was set aside, and Takanori immediately began to make the soup.

This is also very particular, the soup is made with hens that are more than one year old, and ducks that are more than one years old, and the two are stewed together.

The pork skin needs to be scraped off the fat on the top, and it should be carefully scraped so that it does not leave any residue.

When the fatty meat is boiled, oil will come out, and the taste and texture of the skin jelly made in this way are not good enough.

To process the clean pork skin, you need to chop, and it is best to crush as much as possible, so that the skin jelly can be boiled faster.

The crab has been steamed.

At this time, Gao Dian took out the crab, put it on the board, and began to peel it up.

According to people's attention to eating crabs, eight crabs are needed, that is, hammers, upsetting, tongs, shovels, spoons, forks, scrapers, and needles.

With these eight tools, you can peel the crab meat more elegantly.

Of course, it's also very convenient, after all, this thing has a long history.

This is used when eating crabs, and as a chef, Gao Dian naturally doesn't have to be so troublesome.

His methods are much rougher!

Cut directly with a knife and dig with a toothpick!

This way does not guarantee the integrity of the crab meat, and it does not look elegant at all.

But there is no requirement for the integrity of the crab meat in the crab roe soup bun, as long as it is peeled out, as for what it is peeled into, that is what it is.

A simple and crude way, but it also means speed!

In this way, the crab meat is peeled out quickly.

It's much faster than peeling eight pieces of crab slowly.

Wait for the crab meat to be processed and set aside.

At this time, the soup base has almost been boiled, and the skin jelly has already been boiled.

Mix the soup with the jelly and simmer for another two minutes to bring the flavors together.

Pour it out and cool it down!

Gao Dian specially prepared ice water with ice, and put it in the ice water to speed up its cooling.

As long as it cools, the jelly can solidify together.

It forms a jelly-like solid state, which is easier when wrapped.

Skin jelly is a common way to make soup dumplings because of its convenience and simplicity.

To make the filling, you need to put the cooled jelly in a wall breaker and break it up.

The purpose of breaking is to mix them up better.

After the soup base is broken, add the crab roe and crab meat, and then add various seasonings to taste.

The recipe for seasoning is one of the contents of the secret tradition, and good seasoning is essential if you want it to taste good.

Once the filling is ready, wrap it in a pre-rolled bun wrapper.

Then carefully place it in a bowl.

The filling of the soup dumplings is particularly soft, which is different from the filling of ordinary buns.

Even if the filling is made with jelly and turns it into a jelly-like solid, it is generally softer than a simple filling.

In addition, the skin of the soup dumplings is very thin, and the whole bun looks a little soft and collapsed, and there is no strength to support it at all.

It's still not steamed!

After steaming, the jelly inside the bun will completely turn into water, and the filling inside the bun will become a packet of soup!

Coupled with the thin skin, it also makes it difficult to hold the soup packets.

So, in order to maintain the shape, it needs to be put in a bowl to steam.

During the steaming process, special attention needs to be paid to the heat.

Gao Dian pinched the time and quickly took out the steamed soup dumplings!

Because it is placed in a bowl, the shape of the whole bun is very well maintained.

With a slight movement, the whole bun will shake like a wave.

The bun skin is very thin, which gives it a transparent texture.

But in reality, the bun skin is not transparent.

When it was brought out, it looked ordinary and had no fragrance, but you must know that the soup base filled with soup dumplings has an extremely strong fragrance, but now you can't smell it at all.

After making it, Gao Dian raised his hand to signal.

Soon a staff member came to take it away.

Afterwards, Gao Dian began to clean up the boards, and every place was cleaned up.

And the soup dumplings he made were delivered to the judges through the hands of the staff.

………………

Yu Jinghong is a top food critic.

She is also a gourmet, and she has reached the point where she is extremely picky about food.

There are so many delicacies she has tasted!

People's appetites are raised.

If you don't eat for three days, even if you eat white rice, you think it's delicious.

However, every day when the delicacies of the mountains and seas and delicacies are eaten, the appetite becomes more and more diar, and the requirements for deliciousness will naturally be higher.

Yu Jinghong is like this, her requirements for food are not ordinarily high.

She has been clothed and eaten since she was a child, and what she eats is extremely delicious.

is also because she has been a little obsessed with food since she was a child, so Yu Jinghong's figure is relatively fat.

Yu Jinghong is also well-known for her poisonous mouth in the circle, but people's comments on food are indeed extremely accurate.

The poisonous mouth has become her characteristic, making her even more famous in the circle.

There are benefits, and naturally there are disadvantages.

Because of her poisonous mouth, Yu Jinghong's interpersonal relationship in the circle is very poor.

But she didn't care, and continued to do her own thing.

As she once said, she doesn't rely on comments to eat.

Unlike some other gourmets, those people need to rely on this to eat, and their mouths can't be too poisonous.

But Yu Jinghong doesn't need it, her family conditions are too good, and being a food critic is completely interested.

So she does whatever she wants, whether you hate her or like her, Yu Jinghong doesn't care. All she cares about is whether she is comfortable or not.

As one of the judges of this competition, the judges in the same group as her are extremely stressed.

That is, because the pastry chef does not need to be present in the group stage, otherwise, with Yu Jinghong's poisonous mouth, it is estimated that all the pastry chefs will be offended.

Even without the pastry chef present, the other two judges were speechless.

It stands to reason that you don't need them to comment, you just need them to score.

But every time Yu Jinghong tasted it, she would have a poisonous mouth, which made the two of them have a headache when they heard it.

Soon, another noodle was presented, and both of them were waiting for Yu Jinghong to start her poisonous mouth, but after a while, she didn't speak, and the two of them were a little surprised.

This time, the pastry is a soup dumpling.

Because of its characteristics, it is instantly recognizable.

Although this soup dumpling looks good, the folds are even, and it looks harmonious.

But there is no fragrance!

"This soup dumpling is good!" Yu Jinghong said suddenly.

Both of them were a little surprised, Yu Jinghong actually started to praise people at the first sentence!

In fact, it is not uncommon for Yu Jinghong to praise people.

Although she has a poisonous mouth, she is also realistic, she will say the bad directly, and the good will also be said directly.

This is also one of the reasons why she has a poisonous mouth, but is famous in circles.

If she is completely poisonous, then no matter how powerful she is, everyone will not like it.

What surprised the two was not that Yu Jinghong praised people, but that Yu Jinghong praised people in the first sentence.

According to her previous style, the first sentence must be to point out the shortcomings, and the later ones will be praised.

But this pastry, she actually began to praise people in the first sentence.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had always been by Yu Jinghong's side, they would have thought that Yu Jinghong had changed someone.

"The soup dumplings have no fragrance, which is a good performance. There's nothing to find fault with the exterior either. Yu Jinghong said, ignoring the shock of the two.
