On the day of the competition, Zhou Huilan got up early in the morning.

Although it is not comparable to cooking skills, but in this way, each family makes a dish and brings it, which is also a competition invisibly, and it cannot be despised lightly.

According to the analysis of the Xu family's recipe, the best fish to make minced fish is white fish.

Anning this place is northern, not near the sea and no lake, Zhang Yongqiang asked someone to get a few Taihu Lake white fish from the south, raised in the back kitchen, last time it was not used, but today it is just used.

Although it is already the first month, it has not yet begun spring, and when I get up early in the morning, the cold wind blows, and people can't help but shrink their necks.

Zhou Huilan almost trotted all the way to the back kitchen, but someone came earlier than her.

Taking off the big padded jacket outside, Zhou Huilan was about to push the door, but heard Zhang Yongqiang's voice.

"Do a good job, the two of us work together, and the future is definitely limitless!"

She was stunned for a moment, pushed open the door, and Zhang Shaokun and Zhang Yongqiang by the pool looked at her together.

The first to come back to his senses was Zhang Yongqiang, who broke the silence with a laugh and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Master Zhou, it's cold outside this morning, right?"

Zhou Huilan hung her coat on the hook at the door, "It's okay, it's not a competition today, and I don't have to get up so early every day."

"Also, today's level has passed, and the next game is the finals, you guys work hard to beat the reputation of our Donghua Restaurant!" Zhang Yongqiang smiled and said a few polite words, and then left the back kitchen.

Zhou Huilan didn't think much about it, and saw that Zhang Shaokun had already processed most of the fish, but she didn't reach out to pick it up, but only turned around and soaked the ham and scallops that were prepared yesterday, and prepared to hang the soup.

How to make this dish, the two of them have reviewed it many times before, so they don't have much to say.

Zhang Shaokun finished processing the fish, and the cut fish meat began to make minced fish, although he worked under Zhou Huilan, but in the end, the age was there, all kinds of basic skills were not a problem, and the fish minced was also delicate.

Zhou Huilan couldn't intervene, and after dealing with the bamboo sun, she began to help beat the egg whites.

Squeeze the minced fish into the shape of Longjing fish, use peas as as eyes, put it on a plate and basket, sprinkle some minced ham with hair cabbage, steam it in the upper drawer, take it out and put it in a sea bowl.

Because it was going to be sent to the TV station, it didn't use the broth directly, so it was all packed into an insulated lunch box and put in an incubator.

I started to go to the TV station.

There were only six families left who participated in the competition, but because family members were not allowed to watch the recording this time, there was no one at the scene.

Zhang Yongqiang drove Zhou Huilan and Zhang Shaokun to the TV station and was also blocked out, and as soon as he entered the studio, he met the beautiful woman wearing high heels last time, Xu Li.

Today's Xu Li, wearing a chef's outfit printed with the words Manxianglou, followed behind Xu Maocheng, the chef of Manxianglou, although her face was still very gorgeous, but the plain clothes made her feel much more refreshed.

Zhou Huilan and they also have such clothes, but they haven't changed them yet.

Zhang Shaokun sent the dishes to the film crew, but Xu Li suddenly crossed her waist and slipped to Zhou Huilan's side.

"Who is the master of your Donghua Restaurant?"

Zhou Huilan was stunned for a moment, and didn't intend to pay attention to her.

But Xu Li was full of interest, "Look, your tender melon seedlings don't seem to have the ability, didn't your master teach you the word "wrong?"

Zhou Huilan still ignored her, it was a little hot in the studio, and she ripped off her scarf.

"Hey, I'm talking to you! Is it a mute?" Xu Li, who had never received a response, was finally annoyed.

Zhou Huilan sideways dodged her hand, "If you talk to me, will I respond?" Which law says this?"

"You!" Xu Li was angry.

Just when Zhang Shaokun came back from the film crew, Zhou Huilan took off her coat and put it under her armpit, didn't look at Xu Li again, and went to the dressing room with Zhang Shaokun.

After changing clothes and returning to the studio, Zhou Huilan got the content of today's competition.

Each of the participating families today has prepared a dish, and now

During the one-hour open tasting period, six chefs and assistants write down the cooking process of the five dishes and what the main dishes are used for, guess the different types and steps, and the three with the highest scores can advance to the finals.

Although the content of such a competition seems simple, it is extremely unfriendly to a young chef like Zhou Huilan.

Looking at other chefs, most of them are middle-aged and elderly people with gray hair, Zhou Huilan and Zhang Shaokun glanced at each other, obviously feeling a lot of pressure.

But no matter what, the content of the competition is set by the organizers, and it can only be hard-headed.

After the host's opening remarks, each contestant was given a pen and paper, and six dishes prepared in advance were also laid out.

In addition to their Longjing Zhusun, Manxianglou is made of yellow braised shark fin, Niuji Restaurant is Taibai Duck, and there are three other ones, the flowers made with radish meat filling are rich and rich, the vermicelli bamboo shrimp is made of silver silk shrimp, and there is a decent Mao Xuewang.

Looking at the name of the dish, I can guess some of them, but Zhou Huilan knows that it is definitely not these main materials that are compared, but those auxiliary materials that cannot be seen.

"Master Zhou, why don't I write everything I know and you can add it?" Zhang Shaokun saw that Zhou Huilan was embarrassed, but he didn't stay out of the excitement.

Zhou Huilan nodded hurriedly, and while helping Zhang Shaokun take the book, she tasted one dish after another along the flow of people.

After all, some dishes, although they are made very similar, but different chefs have different habits, and it is not easy to guess these.

An hour passed quickly, Zhou Huilan handed over the notebook, the chefs returned to their places, and the judges distinguished each dish written by everyone, hid their names, and sent them to each chef who made the dishes.

"The detailed cooking process is a secret recipe that you have studied for many years, in order to protect everyone's privacy, this point, everyone will score their own, we will score on the spot, absolutely fair and just."

No one has ever seen this kind of operation, but they agree with it.

Zhou Huilan received the five pieces of paper and a list of scoring criteria.

She first browsed through it, and she could guess it by listening to the name, and she could see it by looking at the plating, and everyone wrote it all, and the process of steaming and soaking the fish into the broth was also written.

It can be seen that they are all skilled chefs, but when it comes to the steps of mixing the minced fish, only one part is written with egg whites whipped into the end, and another part is written with egg whites, and the remaining three parts are only written with fried wine and lard for the minced fish.

Zhou Huilan carefully checked the score sheet and scored each list.

raised his head, but found that Xu Maocheng was staring at him intently.
