67 Poor plating
Chef No. 2's dish, when it was brought to the tasting table, the judges looked at Chef No. 2's dish.
The five judges on the judges' bench first took a look at Chef No. 2's dish.
It looks good, but compared to Li Yan, it is far worse.
Just smell the scent and you'll know it.
After eating the dishes made by Li Yan, and then looking at these dishes, the judges were a little distracted.
Looking at the fried chicken on the plate, each of the five people is holding a small piece of chicken.
Put it in your mouth and eat it, and the taste is okay. But compared to the delicacy made by Li Yan, it is simply not in the same rank.
Soon the judges signaled, the next one.
The chef's dish at number 4 is casserole chicken.
The judges also sandwiched a small piece of the casserole that was served.
Compared with Li Yan's dishes, the dishes of the chef in the back are obviously incomparable in the mouths of the judges.
The look on his face says it all.
Eating Li Yan's food, the expression on his face was so content.
For these dishes, the judges' faces were flat, and they didn't have the urge to take a second bite.
It's just a small piece symbolically, and Li Yan's dish has already eaten more than half of it.
The judges then gestured for the next dish.
The speed of the food is very fast.
Yunxi looked at the judges from the audience and saw that those dishes, one after another, were quickly passed.
It seems that Li Yan's dishes are really not ordinary delicious.
In the audience, some of the chef's supporters complained:
"Judges, why don't you take a bite of our chef's food, is there such a big difference?"
"It's so fast, it seems completely hopeless."
As he spoke, he complained.
Seeing that the judges were reluctant to take an extra bite of their own chef's food, I was a little disheartened.
They don't expect to win the first place now, after all, Li Yan's cooking skills are not comparable to ordinary chefs.
This bit of eyesight is still there, and it will not be compared with a genius like Li Yan.
If you can get a second or third place, you will be satisfied.
The other audience members looked at the speed of the judges and said:
"Looking at the judges, they have all eaten the dishes of Chef No. 5, and the expressions on their faces have not changed at all."
"I think Chef No. 4's food is good, but I didn't expect the judges to eat only a little bit."
As he spoke, he gestured with his fingers, how little the judges ate.
At this time, Li Yan's fans said:
"There's no need to eat the dishes in the back, just announce the first place."
"The first place is definitely Li Yan, only among the remaining 9, you can choose 2 sous chefs."
When Li Yan heard this, he stood in his position, a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and others couldn't observe Li Yan's subtle change in expression at all.
Li Yan thought to himself: Of course I am the first, this group of folk chefs on the field, after all, they are on a wild path, and they have not undergone special training, how can they compare with me.
Li Yan didn't plan to come back this time, because he couldn't afford such a small-scale competition at all, and it was just a game.
It was Li Yan's father who forced Li Yan to return to his hometown and participate in this competition, so that Li Yan could also be famous in his hometown.
My father thought that he could not only make a name in a foreign country, but also in his hometown to be a good chef.
Those judges on the stage, their qualifications may not be as good as Li Yan compared to Li Yan.
Li Yan is very confident that their taste buds can be done in minutes.
Just as Li Yan watched the judges on the stage trying the dishes, the judges had lost expressions.
Li Yan is very sure that he is the first person today.
At this moment, the 8th chef had already reached the 8th chef on the judges' stage.
The judges looked at it, waved their hands, and said:
"Yes, there are so many spices in this dish that I can't smell the aroma of the chicken itself."
I saw the staff take the dishes directly, and then go to the No. 9 chef.
The audience said:
"These judges are demanding, and they don't eat the dishes of chef No. 8."
"If you eat well, you can't eat bad."
"I guess the last few will definitely be out of play, looking at the expressions of the judges, it's definitely annoying."
"Maybe these two won't eat in the end, and directly announce that Li Yan is the first."
Just after the audience finished talking, Chef No. 9 felt that the dish was really not eaten.
Chef No. 9's dish is saliva chicken.
The judges lifted the lid and saw the shape of dish No. 9, with some anticipation.
At this time, the audience was discussing:
"You see, the judges are talking about the dish on the 9th, and it is estimated that there is a play on the 9th, and it can win the second place."
"Yes, looking at their expressions, it seems that they are looking forward to the dish of No. 9."
......
At this time, the judges all took a bite of Chef No. 9's dish.
But not even one minute had passed, and the judges put down the chopsticks in their hands with a sad face.
One of the judges said very tactfully:
"This chicken looks good just on the plate, and the taste is almost meaningless."
The judges looked at Chef No. 9's presentation and found it very appealing.
The millet pepper and garlic and coriander on the plate are decorated visually.
But as soon as the chicken was eaten in their mouths, the judges' expressions were almost unanimous.
After biting halfway, I put down all the chopsticks.
Judge No. 2, who is from Western food, finished eating this chicken and commented unceremoniously:
"This saliva chicken is a very authentic way to eat cold cuts, the chicken should be cooked tender and smooth, so that the saliva juice must be soaked in the chicken."
Judge No. 2, continuing to point to this dish, said with some anger:
"This dish is simply not yin and yang, the practice of Chinese food, the presentation of Western food, does not remove the fishy smell of the chicken at all, this chicken is too old, and it is fishy and old in the mouth, like chewing wax."
The reason why judge No. 2 was angry was that the chef did not concentrate on the authentic way of eating the dish, but did these useless tasks.
Chef No. 9 has also heard of it, he is a famous cold dish chef in Nouri Township, but he didn't expect that Chef No. 9 is not doing what he is good at today, but innovating, which is simply four dislikes.
The audience heard such a sharp evaluation from the No. 2 judge, and instantly heated up:
"Is Judge No. 2 angry?"
"Didn't they like Chef No. 9's dish very much just now, why is there such a big contrast now."
"Looking at the expression, I guess it's no fun."
"Chef No. 9 is a famous chef in Nourishing Township, and it will be a little embarrassing to make such an evaluation today."
"I guess there are so many people who evaluate him like this."
"Hey, he's not the only one who is embarrassed today, it's not bad to have more than him, and it's not bad to have less than him."
......
Yunxi looked at the judges' comments, so sharp, and thought, let's look at their dishes in a while.
At this time, the judges finally ate the last course.
Wave your hands and come up with one last course.
The judges didn't hold out any hope at all, just went through the motions and reluctantly tasted the last dish.
Then it was announced that Li Yan won the first place and Chef No. 2 won the second place.
As for the third place, I'll take a good look.
The last dish was the lid lifted by Judge No. 2.
After cutting the lid, Judge No. 2 frowned and looked at the dishes on his plate.
Judge No. 2 is best at molecular cuisine, which is easy to plate, but the premise is that the dishes are delicious.
Looking at the dishes on the plate, the bottom is the sauce, which is definitely drawn out with a spoon, and the cut chicken is neatly placed on the top.
This chicken, I have to praise, the knife work is indeed exquisite, and the cut is very uniform and neat.
However, Chef No. 10 is a young girl, not like a big chef at all, which made Chef No. 2 think that Chef No. 9's presentation is beautiful just by presenting the plate, and the dishes are really difficult to swallow.
I suspect that the plate in front of me is similar to what Chef No. 9 made, that is, the plate is beautiful, and all the effort is used on the plate, and the taste is not good at all.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought so.
Judge No. 2 said unceremoniously:
"Where did you learn the stinky problem, the dishes are beautiful and delicious? Oh, that's clumsy. ”
