Chapter 507: Making Pancakes and Fruits
Bai Lu replied casually: "I'm quiet." Then he asked, "When will it be?" ”
Zhang Facai replied: "Ten o'clock." Look at Lan Teng, Bai Lu, Ye Haihe, Zhang Facai continued: "There are five judges in this competition, one each from China, Japan and South Korea, and another Western chef, the last person is a gourmet, the title of the competition is confidential, there are a total of thirteen participating groups, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan have contestants, others have Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, India and other places of chefs, the main opponents are Japan and South Korea, but Hong Kong and Taiwan players also have strength, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine, Indian cuisine should not be underestimated, Anyway, you have to be careful and do your best. ”
Lan Teng and Ye Haihe responded well, Bai Lu was too lazy to be different, and nodded and said yes.
"Let's change your clothes." Singa Hero speaks, and beside him are three brand new sets of chef's suits, from head to toe, a whole set from the inside out.
Bai Lu took the clothes and looked at them, and said with a smile: "Do you need to take a bath?" ”
"Yes." Shan Hero glanced at him.
Use? Bai Lu looked left and right: "Where to wash?" ”
Lan Teng smiled, "We washed it when we came." ”
depressed for a day, was tricked. Bai Lu changed clothes in public.
At this time, the security guards entered the venue and blocked the main exhibition hall into two large blocks, one was the arena, half a meter above the ground; One is the auditorium.
Fortunately, the venue of the convention and exhibition center is large enough, otherwise it is really troublesome to put out thirteen sets of stoves.
Thirteen sets of stoves and kitchenware are arranged in a semicircle, and in the middle of the semicircle is the judges' seat. Each set of stoves has three burners and three boards, which means that it is not only a group. More than individuals, everyone has to contribute to the dishes.
At half past nine, a staff member knocked on the door to enter, so that everyone could prepare early. Ten minutes later, the chef enters.
Strictly speaking, this is really not a good cooking competition, unlike the World Lu World Cup, where you have to get a ticket or something, it is basically recommended by each region itself, and you can report your name, before the competition. No one knows who the road is competing with.
After the chef enters. Five judges walked into the center of the venue.
In front of them was the host, a very handsome male host of the TV station, and behind the arena was a huge screen wall with cameras shooting live.
The host crackled and talked nonsense. It is nothing more than to welcome everyone to participate in the rare Asian Chef King Competition. Then take the list and make an introduction. The judges will be introduced first, and then the contestants will be introduced.
He said it very much, talking about the Asian chef king dispute. In fact, it's a gimmick, but no one finds fault with it, and he is free to play.
The stove of the three people on Bailu is in the first position on the left-hand side, which is convenient for the audience to take pictures.
When the reporters saw Bai Lu, the headlines in their hearts were really weird, doing things was always beyond people's imagination, and they didn't come to participate in any competition. With his name, he makes movies and advertisements, what do you do without money?
The reporters were filming him, and he was looking at the judges. The reason is that he is so individual, and he has never seen such an old judge. Of the five judges, the youngest one is in his fifties, a French chef. The other four, the gourmets are in their sixties, with white sideburns, and are also French. The remaining three people are all over 70 years old, especially the Japanese judges, who are almost 90 years old this year.
The Korean judge is also an old man, with a childish face, and the host introduced that he is a national treasure in South Korea and is known as the king of Korean food.
The Chinese judge is not so scary, but it is not simple, he is the teacher of a single hero. Shan Yingxing, vice president of the Chinese Cuisine Association, is already very proud, but he was brought out by this master. This old man drank the toast of Premier Zhou in the 70s and was received by the chairman several times.
Anyway, there are five people on the judges' table, and none of them are simple.
Because of the language differences, there is an interpreter sitting behind each judge.
Soon arrived at ten o'clock and the game began.
The Japanese in the middle of the five judges stood up to speak, and as he spoke, a huge screen wall behind him would be translated simultaneously. At the same time, the translator around him will also repeat the content in Chinese.
The old man is the head of the five judges, and he says what the competition is about, and each chef makes two dishes, one of which is a hometown dish, which must be delicious, distinctive, and common in the local area. The other dish is six taels of beef, no matter how you do it, it will be delicious.
Just listen to the question, the first question seems to be difficult, how to cook hometown food in Beicheng?
In fact, it's very simple, everyone is doing food or tourism promotion here, and what is recommended is the characteristics of the hometown, so how can there be no special dishes? All the contestants have to do is go to their respective booths to get the ingredients and come back to make them.
The second course is simpler, with a row of refrigerated cabinets at the back of the playing field, containing pieces of the same sized lean beef, and many fresh ingredients for side dishes.
However, there is no seasoning, and the seasoning has to go back to his own exhibition hall to get it.
After the old man finished speaking, the host started, and the contestants began to get busy.
The first thing to do is to go back and get the special ingredients and spices.
Thirteen groups of players, a total of thirty-nine people, quickly disappeared from the competition site, except for the white road. He greeted Lan Teng, "Help me bring some flour." After that, I went to the refrigerator to pick up the ingredients.
Lan Teng was a little helpless, shook his head and left.
Everyone wants to make a local dish, and there are many big cities in our country, and there are countless special dishes, but even if you are killed, you can't guess what Bai Lu will do.
Not long after, players returned to the competition venue one after another, Lan Teng came back with a small bag of flour, Ye Haihe followed behind with a bunch of things, and saw a pot of oil on the stove of Bai Lu.
Lan Teng asked curiously, "What are you doing?" ”
"Fried fritters." Bai Lu took the flour, took the basin and water, and began to mix the noodles.
Lan Teng and Ye Haihe were directly stunned, and hurriedly persuaded: "Be serious, don't be ashamed." ”
"I'm serious." Bai Lu pretended to have a very serious expression.
Yes, the two chefs looked at him, helpless in their hearts. If you can't control this great god, let's do our best. The two of them didn't see Bai Lu and concentrated on their work.
Within 20 minutes of their return, all the contestants returned to the arena and cooked their dishes in earnest.
Everyone understands why the judges are asking such questions.
Cooking competitions, due to geography and ingredients. Nature has its own merits, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
Chefs who can represent a certain country or region to participate in the competition are definitely not ordinary chefs, and their skills are not to mention.
So what are they better than? How do you compare curry rice to egg fried rice? And how do you look at the craftsmanship?
In addition, the game time is extremely short, so this game is a standard, delicious. There are 13 groups of contestants and 39 special dishes, and the winning dishes are really delicious enough for you to remember.
Dishes are meant to be fought, such as having eaten roast lamb. Grilled squid again. Then eat the shrimp, then eat the grilled crab, and then eat the roasted pepper, tofu and a bunch of other things, which do you say is the most memorable to you?
The game has two dishes. Specialty dishes are all about getting the most out of your abilities. Do what you do best. Lean beef is different. What is sought is a standard test.
Every country eats beef, the difference is different, and the judges don't care how you do it. Delicious is the only criterion, and if you can't make a raw meal that is not as good as braised food, that is a failure.
No one likes to fail.
Get the ingredients back and get to work. The contestants are very serious, and some people are making fish soup, directly putting fresh fish on the table and chopping it into meat puree. Someone is tossing clams. Because the food is made differently, the tools used are also different, such as the iron plate, the stone pot, anyway, there are many kinds of types.
In such a group of people, Bailu Burning Oil Pot is actually not too unusual, the problem is that he stands at the edge of the field, and he is the focus of attention of many people, and his every move is concerned by many people, so it seems unusual.
These people saw Bai Lu burning oil pot and noodles seriously, and some people from the Northeast said: "It's not a fried buckle, right?" ”
Buckle is a kind of Northeast pasta, in the old years, only during the Chinese New Year, a lot of it would be fried, put in a large basin and other utensils, and kept as a snack to eat.
Someone denied his claim: "I look like fried fritters, but why do you think this guy is so violent?" Hit someone with a car, fortunately there was no accident, otherwise it would have been at least five years. ”
"Don't be funny, he sentenced him to five years? I heard that she is very rich, and she also knows a rich little princess from a foreign country, and she will be safe when she smashes it with money. ”
"Yes, how can such a person still be a cook? I really can't figure it out. ”
"What do you want to do with this? If you eat too much, you might as well think about which woman he will be with, eh, you say, did he have sex with those women? ”
"Definitely, if you change it, will it happen to you? If others don't say it, He Xiaohuan didn't run, as for the foreigner, his physique is not good, right? Isn't it a bit difficult for us to serve foreigners? ”
……
The two of them ran more and more deviantly, and there were a lot of similar discussions off the field, making the game scene noisy, until I saw Bai Lu stretching the noodles into strips and putting them in the oil pot, and finally confirmed that this guy was actually frying fritters. So it was even more noisy.
In this way, the security guards and on-site staff, as well as the host, tried to make everyone quiet, and issued the most obscure ultimatum, and if there is any noise, please leave the game site.
After some hard work, the scene finally calmed down, and everyone could concentrate on watching the headlines white fried fritters.
The fried fritters on the white road are different from those sold on the market, they are very small and delicate, a total of more than a dozen fritters are fried, and five almost identical fritters are selected for later use.
Make the fritters and stir the sauce in a small basin with water. Then go to chop the green onion and coriander, and prepare sweet noodle sauce, chili sauce and other sauces. Beat four more eggs and stir well.
When everything is ready, take a frying pan, rub the oil on the bottom of the pan and burn it, then pour the sauce and flatten it.
At this point, most of the people in the audience have already seen what Bai Lu is doing, this guy is spreading pancakes and fruits at such a big cooking competition!
When he started frying fritters, some people thought that this guy was unreliable, and when he started to spread pancakes, those people felt that describing Bai Lu as unreliable was simply a humiliation of those three Chinese characters.
Fritters can be included in dishes, and many places have special dishes made of fritters, making soup, adding beef, adding shrimp, anyway, there are many ways to do it.
When I started frying fritters, some people thought it was making this kind of specialty. After seeing the pancakes, I couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, is this guy here to be embarrassed?
There are four cameras around the arena trying to record the players cooking. After one of the machines turned the camera to Bailu, he couldn't bear to leave, and the whole process was broadcast live on how to make pancakes.
The director was even cooler, and connected the signal of this machine to the TV wall, so nearly 1,000 viewers in the audience enjoyed watching it, and the big celebrity chef was making pancakes and fruits. (To be continued......)
