"I'm not in the line of fire with a minor injury. He Shanqing said with a shy face.

Bai Lu said: "Then you continue to go to the line of fire, I have to go out." ”

Today is January 6th, and there are four more days to go for the qualifiers for the King Chef competition. The King Chef Contest and the Chef Contest are privately called, and the name of the TV show is "Chef for Respect".

On TV, it's hard to talk about kings, gods, or whatever, it's a little too crazy, and it seems unreliable. Anyway, it is the first game of the chef competition, and the champion is called the first chef of "Chef for Honor".

In order to pass the primary election, Bai Lu had to choose a dish.

You say how ruthless this show is, thousands of people go to the election, and it chooses 30 people. As a test taker, who would dare to be careless? In case someone brushes down the white road, it is definitely extremely interesting. So you have to deal with it seriously.

Hearing that he was going out, He Shanqing asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to buy groceries, are you going?"

"No, you go, I'll watch the door for you, and borrow the guest room on the second floor. ”

Bai Lu looked at him: "If you dare to bring a woman to my house, I will kill you." ”

"Don't worry, I will never find just one person, at least a dozen or twenty. ”

"Count you ruthless. "When Bai Lu went out, he decided to go to his greenhouse first.

Sasha immediately took the final exam, so he didn't call her and let her study at home. Bai Lu drove the bumblebee to Shasha's hometown.

After more than two months, Shasha's family has changed greatly, the pigsty has tripled in size, and more than a dozen pigs have been raised. There are many chickens and ducks scattered in the yard, as well as two big yellow dogs. The manure of these animals is used to fertilize the land.

The leopard was sitting inside watching TV when he heard the sound of a car motor outside the door. Then the big yellow dog was barking, and the leopard came out, and when he saw that it was Bai Lu, he greeted him: "Boss." He scolded the two big dogs to shut up.

"No need to call the boss. Bai Lu looked left and right: "It's good, take me to see the greenhouse." ”

The leopard responded and pushed out a motorcycle: "Brother Bai, sit on this." The two of them walked around the village on motorcycles.

The greenhouse has just been deducted for more than two months, and it has been raising land. Bai Lu was very satisfied with it, and left after saying a few more words.

It is a very luxurious thing to detain the greenhouse and raise the land, but Bai Lubian did it.

Leave Shasha's house. Go to the various farmers' markets to pick vegetables. He went to markets in marginal areas such as Changxian or Tongxian.

All the vegetables in the major vegetable markets in Beicheng are batched from wholesalers. Only when you go to the outskirts of the county can you encounter the vegetables grown by the old farmers themselves. For example, the pigs that are killed at home, such as the vegetables that cannot be eaten, etc.

In one day, Bai Lu bought back half a pig. Two large carp in the reservoir. Six chickens. And a whole bunch of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

I was rushing back when I received a call that Beicheng Airport had his goods. So I rushed to the airport. When I arrived at the place, I realized that it was the potatoes sent by Liv, a total of two tons, sixteen varieties.

In order to save freight, these potatoes first traveled to Hong Kong for a few days, and then came to Beijing for customs clearance. Luckily, this thing is durable, otherwise it would be really difficult to handle.

As soon as the potatoes were loaded into the car, Gao Yuan called again: "Share the spoils." ”

"Okay, now go over and call a truck for me. Bai Lu understood as soon as he heard it, Gao Yuan had to deal with those wines.

This time, special equipment was used for winemaking, and the raw materials were sufficient, and a total of 180 barrels of wine were brewed, 80 barrels were taken by Bai Lu, and the rest was distributed by Gao Yuan.

After dividing the spoils, it will be dark, and after a little more waiting, the trucks will enter the city and bring all the wine home.

On this trip, the white road was like a big sweep, bringing home a lot of things.

Then the days were uneventful, like water flowing by. Soon, January 10 arrived, and the qualifiers for "Chef for Honor" began.

According to the regulations, the competition starts at nine o'clock in the morning, so Shiraji gets up very early to make the dishes for the competition.

Thousands of people participated, and only 30 people were selected, and the competition was not only about cooking skills, but also psychological warfare.

Everyone wants to enter the semi-finals, so they will try their best to make this dish, and they don't have to think about it, and there must be birds and beasts.

If you want to win in many dishes, you must be different. Or make it into something as greasy as braised pork, let the judges eat it, and then don't want to eat anything else. Either it is very light, clear the judges' mouths, and win a good impression.

It's just that if he can think so, of course other chefs will think so. So, if you want to win, it's impossible to just be shortcut.

A successful dish must first look good and make the judges have an appetite at a glance, and then it must be light. Light is a healthy dish that attracts people to eat. As for the taste, it is the least thing that Bai Lu is worried about.

There are a lot of ingredients in the kitchen, all bought in the last few days. Bai Lu walked around the kitchen, thought about it and thought about it, and made a plate of thousands of purples and thousands of reds.

He didn't want to make this dish, but if he wanted to stand out among more than a thousand people, he had to be scary at first sight. So, the guy started playing with potatoes again.

He had to be glad that the potatoes arrived in time, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to play.

Arrange the Russian potatoes bought from Heihe and the Indian potatoes that Liv mailed from the United States, select seven colors, shred them, and soak them in cold seafood soup for 10 minutes.

Then pass through the boiling water and place seven shredded potatoes side by side in a rainbow shape and hang them above the disc.

Below is carved with potatoes, the flowers are soaked in seven kinds of spices, and then the same boiling water is used to wash off the color of the seasoning, and the plate is placed under the plate, and then cut some shredded green onions to dress up the grass, so the dish is ready.

The process, according to the different colors, different seasonings, the time of boiling water is not the same, there are crisp entrances, there are soft entrances, there are seafood flavors, in short, a dish of a hundred flavors, not only beautiful, but also delicious. But in essence, it's a plate of shredded potatoes.

The current season is winter, in order to avoid the dishes from being too cold, take the insulated box and carry it. I was also worried that the shape of the dish would be damaged by shaking, so I covered it with plastic wrap. Then go to Northside TV.

The qualifiers were held in the conference hall on the first floor of the TV station, which was covered with a tablecloth and guarded by several security guards. Inside the room are 10 culinary experts, directors, videographers and others.

Bai Lu arrived at the scene at half past eight, and there were already hundreds of people lined up in front of him. Look at the people around you, most of them carry an insulated lunch box like him to ensure the temperature of the dishes. There are exaggerated, directly holding the rice cooker and queuing. is even more exaggerated, pushing the dining cart and waiting quietly.

And the most exaggerated thing is that there are actually two chefs who come over in a food truck, the kind of car that can cook. There is a queue of cooks below, and the chef sits in the car, ready to cook at any time.

Judging from this scene alone, Bai Lu admires the questioner of this competition, and the many chefs who tossed chickens and dogs jumped with just one sentence.

For the contestants, these are the things they have to do. Your attitude represents your aggressiveness and represents the ranking you want. Even though it's winter, who dares to serve their dishes cold?

Bailu stood for half an hour, and as soon as the bell rang at nine o'clock, a staff member came out to maintain order, and everyone entered the examination site in the order of queuing.

Thirty people enter each time, put away the tray and test number, and then exit. After tasting this batch of dishes, make a record, the waiter removes the unfinished dishes, and the next batch goes in, in short, except for the people in the room.

And in order to avoid the leakage of news, the TV station is really ruthless, putting a camera at the entrance, shining on the ten judges and a square table not far away, on which are the mobile phones of all the people in the room have been turned off.

Of course, these are for you to see, for you to see, and there may be things that you can't see in some places that you can't see.

As the time passed, Bai Lu felt a little cold, and Xindao TV was really bad, so I don't know if Lu Dao would make a room for everyone to be warm?

On average, a group of contestants enter in ten minutes, and more than 100 dishes are evaluated in an hour. Bai Lu calculated the time, and when it was his turn, my God, it would be at least one o'clock in the afternoon.

Everyone was frozen together, and the people around them began to chatter to pass the time: "Which restaurant are you from? What level of chef are you?" and asked what kind of dishes you cooked, anyway, it was just nonsense.

Bai Lu calculated correctly, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, it was finally his turn.

Walking into the lobby, there were staff members who checked their identities and watched the people around them take out their registration cards one by one. Bai Lu is very depressed, and I don't have this thing.

Hurriedly called Gao Yuan: "What about the registration card?" Gao Yuan was very impatient: "Go directly to the registration word." ”

Then sign up, there may always be someone who loses the registration card, the staff has no opinion at all, quickly check the list, find Bai Lu's name, tick it, and tell him a number.

At this time, the staff asked everyone to take the dishes out of the insulated box, paste the test number, and when the door opened, they had to bring the plates in.

A minute later, the gate opened, and thirty people lined up to go inside, each carrying his own dish, as if in a movie a group of eunuchs served food to the emperor.

There were also six waiters standing in the room, helping them set up the plates and then inviting them out.

Across the table is a large row of sofas, and ten judges stand or sit, watching the new candidates.

When Bai Lu walked out, he saw an acquaintance, Zhang Facai, this old man was actually invited by the TV station to be a judge, it seems that he is really leisurely.

The last time I saw Zhang Facai was in the Garden Hotel, which is the predecessor of this chef competition, at that time, Zhang Facai and Liu Yong, another senior in the kitchen industry, were judging together, because of some incidents, they didn't eat the dishes made by Bailu.

Zhang Facai had long forgotten who Bai Lu was, and he was only vaguely familiar, but there were many familiar people, who cared who you were.

Waiting for Bai Lu and the others to leave the examination room, the ten judges walked to the edge of the long table one after another, first looked at the color, then smelled the taste, and felt that the dish was really good before moving the chopsticks to taste it.

They know that the purpose of this competition is to select the best chefs to represent the country and compete with foreigners, so the requirements are extremely strict, as long as the appearance is not good, nothing else is said. How can an unsightly dish represent Chinese cuisine?

I have to say that the contestants worked very hard and worked hard, standing outside for most of the day, and when the dishes were brought in, most of the dishes were still not too cold. However, the problem is that the taste and color of the dish change after too long. In particular, dishes with a large amount of oil have been a bit unsightly, so many people have suffered because of this and have been eliminated. (To be continued......)
