Chapter 112 - Cooking in the Arena
In the finals, the two chefs tied for the average score, one is called Shi Liang, who is older, and the other is Gao Zhengyi, who is about ten years younger than Shi Liang.
Shi Liang is a first-class chef in Southern Province, a senior technician of Chinese cuisine in Southern Province, and one of the top ten chefs in Southern Province.
Gao Zhengyi is also a senior technician of Chinese cooking, and is also the only chef in the domestic catering circle who has obtained an MBA degree, good at innovation and research and development, and has successively innovated and launched dishes such as "drunken hollow lobster balls", "royal blue bamboo fungus wings" and "vegetable crispy roast duck", all of which have been well received, his roast duck is very famous, has a high reputation and status in the culinary industry, and he has published six professional books, and has developed more than 500 dishes.
As the last judge, Ye Hao gave Gao Zhengyi a high score, while Shi Liang's overall average score was 0.25 points worse, missing out on the championship.
He was dazzled by the praise from abroad, and the fact that he was able to enter the finals as the strongest in the region proved that his cooking skills were top-notch, and he couldn't accept that a young man beat him to win the championship!
After the ranking came out, he stood up on the spot, pointed at Ye Hao angrily, and questioned: "I don't accept it!" I don't believe in the professionalism of the Ye judges! ”
"Why did she squeeze into the judge's position halfway through? She doesn't have any awards from the culinary industry that can prove her culinary skills! So I'm skeptical of this rating! ”
"If you can sit on the judge's seat by relying on personal relationships, then where is the fairness and transparency of this cooking competition?!"
He said too much, and Xu Long was so angry that he got up: "I vouch for my reputation as a national chef, and every judge on the judges' table deserves it!" Especially Ye Hao!! ”
An Junxian pushed the frame of the mirror and glanced at the cook who questioned Ye Hao casually.
Shi Liang suddenly felt a chill on his back, which made him stiff, he didn't know where this creepy came from, he only saw the vice president of the Culinary Association, and raised his hand to signal Xu Long to sit down.
Xu Long also felt that he was impulsive just now, so he sat down and poured a glass of water to calm down.
Ye Hao questioned the chef who missed the crown, and her expression was indifferent from beginning to end.
Before she could speak, An Junxian spoke, a smile on the corner of his lips, and the words he said were extremely authoritative: "This ...... Chef Shi. ”
"The National Culinary Contest is sponsored by the National Culinary Association, and as the vice president, I'm here to monitor what you call 'fairness and transparency'."
"Where do you say that the fairness and transparency of this cooking competition are questioning the National Culinary Association and the country?"
This big hat was buttoned down, Shi Liang was empty on the spot, and he defended: "Of course I believe in the country!" All I question is this Judge Ye, she doesn't have any cooking qualifications, why did she sit in the judge's seat?! ”
"Although Judge Ye did not attend on the first day, from the second day of the competition, there were four performances a day, a total of 20 performances in five days, and the scoring records of each chef written by Judge Ye in each competition were exhaustive."
"Each rating record is specific to the techniques that can make the taste better, the shortcomings and highlights of the chef, and the suggestions for promoting the strengths and avoiding the weaknesses."
"This thin piece of paper, written is what she has learned, and it is written with her pure heart, I dare to ask who here does not leave a hand when teaching disciples? Why is it so hard for chefs in the culinary industry to get ahead? ”
"Otherwise, why is it that at the end of each competition, those chefs who have seriously participated in the scoring record flock to thank Judge Ye?"
"I think the behavior of these participating chefs is enough to prove the culinary strength of Judge Ye, but there are still people who can't keep up? It seems that the next cooking competition will have to add an IQ test. ”
An Junxian's words were even more embarrassing, Shi Liang was already so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he didn't dare to question the vice president, he stepped on him under his feet with the first sentence he spoke, and this confrontation was unfair.
Now the scene is embarrassing, An Junxian doesn't care at all, just a loser.
Ye Hao, who had never spoken, stood up and walked down the judges' seat.
Everyone present was shocked and didn't understand what she meant when she stepped off the judges' seat.
Ye Hao walked up to Shi Liang's side, and her tone was very calm: "Your two dishes, low-temperature slow-cooked foie gras and ketchup steak, how about you follow me to make it again?" ”
Shi Liang didn't expect her to say this, and he had no reason to refuse, he relied on these two dishes to make a name for himself in a foreign Chinese restaurant, he didn't feel that these two dishes were bad at all, he had done it to the best.
"It's great that Judge Ye is willing to cook, if you can convince me of these two famous dishes, then I apologize to you for questioning you this time."
Ye Hao nodded, "I don't need to apologize, I really don't have a culinary qualification in the culinary industry, and my invitation to the cooking competition is just to accept Brother Xu's love, because I have no intention of entering the culinary world, and I really don't consider this aspect." ”
Shi Liang suddenly felt that he had spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but things had come to this point, he didn't say anything, and followed Ye Hao to the stove in the competition area.
Ye Hao got off the judges' seat, An Junxian and Xu Long also immediately followed, because of the unexpected situation, the medal of the championship could not be awarded, and Gao Zhengyi and the other two chefs also had a long experience with the past.
Both photographers followed, and the reporter continued to conceive of the sudden situation.
Ye Hao explained while doing it: "The most critical skill of low-temperature slow-cooking foie gras is to absorb the flavor, which you have not done. I suggest you put the stock in a vacuum bag and cook it with foie gras. ”
"I think it's very delicious, and the most popular thing about my specialty dish is the flavor!"
Ye Hao poked Shi Liang with a word, and he immediately retorted, "Besides, a dish in the arena only gives us forty-five minutes, how can I cook soup for forty-five minutes?"
"Yes." Ye Hao selected the ingredients for boiling the broth and opened her mouth lightly.
An Junxian hooked his lips on the side, "For a top chef, it is very simple to boil a pot of broth in fifteen minutes, and Ye Hao's suggestion is completely feasible. ”
"If Chef Shi doesn't even know this, it makes me question whether the status of celebrity chefs in Southern Province is fair and transparent."
An Junxian's words are really poisonous, Shi Liang's face is pale, but he can't say anything, if he is a top chef, will he still use it to participate in the cooking competition?!
Xu Long looked at the ingredients Ye Hao selected, and couldn't help but admire: "With white asparagus, vanilla, whipped cream, white soy sauce, and a little white chocolate and wheat grass, you can quickly boil a pot of fresh and sweet broth, exquisite, too exquisite!" ”
An Junxian seemed to have inserted a knife into Shi Liangxin's mouth enough, and added: "Fifteen minutes, it's enough." ”
