65 The Eight Treasures of the Palace
After the presenter's introduction.
The judges entered the judges' bench, and sitting in the middle was Judge No. 5 'Chef Fu'.
The host said:
"Now that the judges have taken their seats, the competition will start immediately, and the chefs, there is only one chicken in their hands, and if there is any mistake in the cooking, the ingredients will not be selected."
The people in the audience were discussing:
"This competition is very strict, everyone only has one chance, and a little mistake is considered a failure, and sure enough, the first prize of 50,000 yuan is not easy to get."
"Of course, the 50,000 first prize, as well as other honors, the competition is naturally stricter."
"The chefs above are all experienced in the kitchen, and they basically don't make small mistakes like mistakes."
“·······”
The moderator continued:
"It's 8:30 sharp, and it ends before 12 noon, so please chefs, start your game."
Just after the host announced the start of the competition.
The cheers on the field were shouting:
"Li Yan, come on."
"Li Yan, you are the best."
"Li Yan, you must be the first."
“·······”
As soon as the game began, Li Yan's fans began to cheer wildly, and the sound of cheers resounded throughout the competition venue. Compared with Li Yan's fans, other players also have fans, but their voices are basically covered.
Another part shouted:
"Come on, Xiaopingyixiang."
Li Huimei and He Feng Village Chief were not far behind, and the two of them shouted hard:
"Come on, Yunxi."
It's a pity that the voices of the two are too weak.
As soon as the voice was shouted, it was covered by other people's voices, and it couldn't be transmitted at all, and after shouting a few times, both of them had dry throats and couldn't shout.
The voices of the two are not comparable to the voices of thousands of people.
In an instant, the auditoriums on the east and west sides were chaotic, and various voices joined together.
The chefs on the field have also started cooking.
The first to do it was Li Yan, he took the kitchen knife in his hand, and first turned the knife a few times very briskly, looking like he was experimenting with the appropriateness of the knife.
After the experiment, Li Yan began to process the materials.
I saw a small kitchen knife, in Li Yan's hand, constantly rotating, ordinary people could only see the shadow of the kitchen knife, but in a few minutes, the auxiliary materials were processed by Li Yan.
The audience in the auditorium watched dumbfounded.
"Damn, I didn't expect the cooking knife in the movie, I didn't expect it to be seen in reality, I always thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Look at the chestnuts that have not been shelled, Li Yan just threw them up, and when they fell, the shells and flesh were separated."
"Li Yan is really powerful, this is the strength of a celebrity chef, it is really terrifying."
“········”
At this time, the No. 1 judge on the judges' bench also spoke:
"Look, Li Yan's knife work is amazing, other chefs are not his opponents at all, and Li Yan can be said to be the leader in terms of knife work."
Judge No. 3 said:
"I can probably see that the dish Li Yan is going to make should be the dish that is almost lost."
Judge No. 3 is a descendant of the imperial chef and is familiar with Chinese food.
At this time, judge No. 5 said:
"Look at that technique, it's the 'palace eight treasure chicken' that is almost lost.
In the audience, people watched Li Yan's performance and applauded and cheered.
are all in support of Li Yan.
Li Yan is worthy of being a top chef, even if he doesn't have his father's light, he is still shining.
The dishes are so peculiar, and the shot is the pinnacle.
What the judges said, for the other chefs, was nothing short of 'murderous'. Although they are somewhat famous, the dishes they cook are all ordinary dishes, and there is no way to compare them with Li Yan, whose ancestors were imperial chefs in the palace.
Li Yan took out the dishes of the palace kitchen and compared them with them, for them, it was no less than a dimensionality reduction blow.
For the other contestants, it is not so easy to knock down his body, but the crushing of words can lead to a poor mental state of the chef, and language is sometimes a powerful weapon.
Li Yan is at the level of imperial dishes, and the level between this kind of dishes cannot be compared at all.
At this time, on the field, the chef with a bad mentality has been affected by these words.
Including Yunxi, too, was a little shocked in his heart.
Because Yunxi's system has popularized her, she must reach the advanced level before she can make this kind of dish, because this dish is made of other methods, which involve a lot of special processing methods, which is not what she can do now.
Now, even if you have more points, you can't exchange them for such high-end recipes.
Yunxi has now marinated all the chickens with salt.
Yunxi took out his kitchen knife from his schoolbag and chopped off the chicken's useless chicken feet first.
At the moment when the kitchen knife was taken out, Judge No. 2 said:
"Chef 10's kitchen knife, it's a good knife."
The No. 2 judge is a Western chef who does a lot of molecular cuisine, and he pays special attention to knives.
Knives of all kinds, almost all of them he has.
Only Yunxi's knife, he has never seen it.
This knife looks extremely sharp, but the knife qi is not cold, but a good knife that has been precipitated over the years.
Cooking with heart and a good knife makes you a good chef.
At this time, everyone's eyes were attracted by Yunxi's knife again.
When Village Chief He Feng heard that Yunxi was praised by the judges, he also shouted:
"Yunxi, come on."
Yunxi didn't know whether to be happy or not, from morning to now, the only praise he got was the light of the knife.
Hm, this seems to be a bit off-the-shelf, isn't this a cooking competition? How to study the knife.
Yunxi cut off the chicken feet and let the chicken start to marinate, and Yunxi then mixed the crispy water.
The words of the No. 3 judge made everyone's eyes return to Li Yan's hands.
Judge No. 3 said excitedly:
"Chef No. 1 is so good at his knife skills that he's already starting to debone and skin the chickens."
At this time, Li Yan started slowly from the neck of the chicken.
Take out the skeleton on the chicken neck, and when it comes to the chicken head, disassemble the connection between the chicken head and the chicken neck.
Take out the chicken neck skeleton as if you were taking off your gloves.
Also make sure that the head of the chicken is attached to the skin of the chicken.
The chicken skin that is about to be taken is also the chicken glove, except for the small opening in the neck, the rest of the chicken skin must be taken off like taking off the gloves.
Just as Li Yan was taking the chicken, the No. 5 judge stared at Li Yan without moving his eyes and said:
"Take the whole chicken skin, very rigorous, can not be a little broken, the whole skin of the chicken should not only be taken off completely, the whole skeleton of the chicken, including the internal organs in the chicken belly, should also be completely taken out, there can be no little damage, the integrity of the chicken must be maintained inside and outside."
"As far as I know, there aren't many people who can do that."
Judge No. 5 is also a chef who has been in the industry for 30 years, and he can't do this 'palace eight treasure chicken', this dish is typically difficult to make.
Judge No. 3 watched Li Yan handling chicken skins, and seeing Li Yan's method of handling chickens was also magical for him.
Judge No. 3 is also the heir of the imperial chef, and he can also make this dish, but the details are handled, and he can't be as perfect as Li Yan.
At this time, the onlookers saw that Li Yan peeled the chicken skillfully, and the handling actions were smooth, looking elegant and beautiful, and all the movements were just right, someone said:
"Chef Li Yan, a few days ago, he showed the 'Golden Retriever Lionfish', which made me think that Li Yan's strength was already very powerful, but I didn't expect today's dish to show even more powerful skills, which is really wonderful."
"yes, yes, it's the first time I've seen such a great chef."
"Like in ancient times, chefs like Li Yan were all serving the emperor, how can we see it."
"Today I have opened my eyes, and there is such a great thing in cooking."
“········”
As soon as these words came out, the other four judges on the stage couldn't sit still.
The golden retriever lionfish is a dish that tests knife skills very much, and it was unexpected, Li Yan showed two such difficult dishes in a row.
The five judges all stood up on the spot and watched Li Yan peel off the bones and skin the chicken.
