Seeing Li Yi coming in, the chefs who were busy in front of the stove looked up one after another, with different expressions.

All the chefs present liked Li Yi or not, but they basically recognized him.

There are many people who are popular, not to mention that Li Yi, who became famous overnight, became the top lucky person in the industry in one leap.

Anyone who achieves the top level of the industry will be more or less arrogant.

The chefs present are all senior chefs who have been in the industry for decades, and they all have unique skills in their hands.

But after decades of work, their combined popularity is not as good as Li Yi.

Under this kind of gap, even if they are polite on the surface, many chefs still have some sideways views on Li Yi in their hearts.

Li Yi could naturally sense that the chefs had different attitudes, but he didn't care.

Craftsmen communicate, all rely on craftsmanship to speak, it is useless to say more, and you have to see the truth under your hands.

When Hao Libao saw Li Yi arriving, he got up and welcomed him to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for you, why are you here now?" ”

"It's a bit of a traffic jam."

Li Yi explained casually, then looked at the busy chef and asked, "This has already begun?" ”

"No, let them wash the pot and the stove first."

Hao Libao handed the scorer to Li Yi and said with a smile: "Hygiene is the first premise, clean up and wait for you to come over and take the test directly, you have to decide how to assess!" ”

This is what they said in advance, and Li Yi is responsible for the second round of selection.

Hearing this, Li Yi nodded, and Li Yi stood up: "Then don't waste time, I'll tell them about the assessment content first!" ”

Picking up the megaphone on the side, after Li Yi turned it on, he greeted the chefs on the scene: "Masters, please stop your work first." ”

Hearing him greet, the chefs on the scene turned off the heat one by one, poured water, and spent two minutes before finally stopping their work.

After the scene was quiet, Li Yi picked up the megaphone again and said: "Hello masters, I am Li Yi, the leader of the cooking Olympiad team, and I am responsible for this round of assessment, and I will also conduct the assessment..."

When he said this, a chef below suddenly asked, "Are you the only one who assesses it?" What about Master Hao? ”

This question is obviously questioning Li Yi's authority, and it is not very polite.

Before Li Yi could answer, Hao Libao in the rear said with a smile: "I am responsible for the last round of assessment, and I am just watching this round, and the specific assessment standards are subject to Master Li." ”

As he spoke, he paused, then looked at Li Yi and said with a smile: "Master Li's cooking skills are higher than mine, and he must be more authoritative than me in the assessment." ”

Hearing his words, the chefs below laughed and said compliments such as "Master Hao is too modest" and "Master Hao's cooking skills are obvious to all", and the scene was harmonious.

Behind Hao Libao, the eldest apprentice Lu Yuanshan helped him add some tea, and then looked at the chefs who were laughing below, and shook his head gently.

He had dealt with Li Yi and had seen Li Yi's cooking skills, so he naturally knew that the master was not saying kind words.

These chefs are used to being uncles in their own circles one by one, and they really have their eyes to the sky, even Master Li dares to underestimate them?

After Hao Libao raised his hand to maintain order, he motioned to Li Yi: "Master Li, you go on." ”

Li Yi nodded, looked at the chefs in front of him, and said, "In this selection, we want to choose a contestant who represents Huaxia and competes with cooking masters all over the world."

Everyone present is a top chef, and everyone is not weak, but since they are participating in the competition, they must choose the best of the best and choose the most suitable candidates.

This is a competition for diners from all over the world, and it is necessary to take into account the tastes of diners from all over the world and make it easier for foreign diners to accept it.

Therefore, our players need to have a higher tolerance and more comprehensive skills.

It is precisely because of this that our round of selection will assess you from eight aspects. ”

Hearing him talk about the assessment criteria, the chefs present were a little serious.

Don't care if you look at it or not, since the person is already in charge and has the power of life and death, then you have to complete the assessment according to the standards of others.

So, listen in!

"There are a total of six competition items in this competition, namely the team competition buffet project, the hot dish kitchen project, the individual culinary art project, the on-site fruit and vegetable carving project, the chef's table project and the sugar art display project."

Li Yi said as he turned up the volume to the highest so that everyone could hear it clearly: "The format of this competition is more Western, but since we are participating, we must maintain the characteristics of our Chinese food."

However, on this basis, we still have to take the initiative to adapt to the rules and avoid falling into disadvantages.

Therefore, the content of this round of assessment will test the basic skills of our chefs in eight aspects, and these eight basic skills are also the content that we will focus on in the future training.

First of all, the first basic skill is knife work. ”

Li Yi said, came to the ingredients area, took out a whole chicken from the fresh-keeping cabinet, and explained: "No matter which country or region's food culture, the more high-end diet will avoid hidden bones in the ingredients, which will affect the dining experience of diners."

In this competition, the ingredients we used need to be cut out of the bones, and only the meat is clean.

Therefore, the first content of the assessment is to remove the bones of a whole chicken within 1 minute and 20 seconds. ”

Hearing Li Yi's first assessment, the faces of many chefs present changed instantly.

They didn't expect that this round of assessment would actually put this kind of big move as soon as it came up.

Deboning is also not uncommon in Chinese food, and cloth bag chicken and gourd duck all need to be deboned.

But wouldn't it be too much to remove the whole chicken bone in 1 minute and 20 seconds?

For a while, the chefs present began to whisper, and there was a lot of noise.

Seeing this, Li Yi frowned slightly, and asked, "Is there any problem?" It can be raised directly. ”

"I have a problem."

One of the middle-aged chefs said, "I can make a bag chicken, but it takes at least three minutes to debone the whole chicken, and you ask for 1 minute and 20 seconds to do it, which I think is a bit too harsh." ”

With him taking the lead, several chefs in the rear echoed the call.

"I also think it's a bit harsh."

"It's not harsh, it's just embarrassing, how can it only take more than a minute to debone the whole chicken?"

"I think this request was simply put forward by patting my head, it's too much to take for granted!"

Listening to the buzzing discussion, Li Yi didn't say anything, just carried the whole chicken and came to the front row of the stove.

Seeing his actions, the chefs in the rear were stunned, and the discussion died down.

Took out a boning knife from the knife holder on the stove operation case, Li Yi put the whole chicken on the board, and signaled to Lu Yuanshan behind Hao Libao: "Master Lu, help me count the time." ”

"Okay."

Lu Yuanshan nodded: "Let's start." ”

Li Yi's subordinates moved in response, and the blade of the knife went down from the knife edge at the neck of the chicken, stretched into the cavity of the chicken, and stirred left and right.

Then, one by one, the bones were ripped out by him.

After a while, Li Yi pulled out the entire back bone, put the whole chicken that had been removed from the bone on the board, and raised his head and raised his chin at Lu Yuanshan.

"Thirty-two seconds."

Lu Yuanshan reported the time.

His voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the audience, because the scene was quiet, and all the chefs looked at the boneless whole chicken in front of Li Yi in a daze, and the surroundings were so quiet that they could hear a needle.

Li Yi picked up the rag on the table and wiped his hands, looked back at the stunned chefs, and smiled slightly: "That's it!" Just 1 minute and 30 seconds, give you 10 seconds to extend, is there any problem? ”
