Chapter 101: Zou Xiaoying wins
Ke Qiang's level is undoubted, and he will not participate in the King Chef Competition in his capacity. This kind of competition, even including singing and dancing, etc., is a chance for newcomers to stand out, and the really famous masters do not participate at all. From this point of view, Ke Qiang belongs to the master.
But now, this master has invited a hairy boy to be a helper, and of course everyone will guess the origin of Bai Lu.
Coincidentally, someone watched Bailu's video on the Internet and thought it was very similar, but they couldn't be sure, they felt that the real person was too different from the video, and they didn't talk nonsense for fear of recognizing the wrong person.
At this time, the kitchen electronic clock chimes the time, and at nineteen o'clock, the game begins.
After waking up, Li Zhongji was very calm, and he was completely two people last night, slowly walked forward, and bowed deeply to all the Chinese chefs: "Thank you for appreciating your faces, and learning from your cooking skills, the kitchen is not respectful, the chef is not up and down, Zhongji was abrupt yesterday, offended you, I apologize to everyone here, and I ask for your forgiveness." He bowed deeply as he spoke, and then said: "As a chef, you should respect the cook, although I am ashamed, but when I learn from you, I will do my best, and I ask for your understanding." ”
Look at what people say, it's really nice. Bai Lu bars pouted and walked to his team's side.
Li Zhongji came forward to invite the battle, and someone should go up to fight. A group of chefs were about to discuss who would go first, and a young man came out of the crowd, twenty-six or seventeen years old, with white shirts and blue pants, short hair, a smooth face, and a clean tidy face, and smiled at Li Zhongji: "My name is Zou Xiaoying, and I am fortunate to learn from famous Korean chefs. ”
At this time, Bai Lu just walked to the front of the crowd, heard Zou Xiaoying speak, glanced at it casually, and smiled coldly in his heart, this person is very fake. When he walked to the back of the crowd, he asked Ke Qiang in a low voice, "Who is that person who went up?" ”
"The champion of the King Chef competition a few days ago."
Ah, it's him, Bai Lu nodded.
After the King Chef Competition, Zhang Chenglong mentioned to him that the champion of the King Chef Competition was the second chef of Beicheng Hotel. It seems that this kid has some ability.
Seeing that someone was fighting, Li Zhongji smiled and said, "Please." ”
After saying a word, two small workers brought a large pot of potatoes, which were only cleaned and not peeled. At the same time, he took the scales, weighed five catties of potatoes for each person, and sent them to the front of the two people's cases.
This is interesting, Bai Lu smiled.
After dividing the potatoes, Jin Taisheng walked out with four stopwatches and spoke loudly: "Since it is a competition, there must be rules, and I also ask Director Luo to select two people as referees to help with timing, and we also have two people on our side, is this good?" ”
Luo Hongyu's position is the head of the first business section, and his actual level is a department-level cadre. Calling him Luo shows that Jin Taisheng understands domestic officialdom very well.
After the translator finished saying these words, everyone had no objections, anyway, it was a knife skill, and it was a real skill, as long as it was fair and just, how to play. Luo Hongyu of China Merchants stood up and said, "Just do what President Jin suggests." "Turning around and discussing with everyone a little, two people will be introduced, and two people will be released from the Korean side, each of whom will take a stopwatch, and they will time it at the same time.
This is the real knife worker, peel first, then shred, shredded and weighed, see how much weight is lost, and then by the thickness of the shredded potatoes, whether it is even, and the shredding time to judge the first.
The potatoes were ready, and the two of them chose knives, a peeling knife and a kitchen knife.
There are many varieties of potatoes, and it is difficult for non-industry insiders to distinguish what black beauties are black King Kong. However, if you have scraped the skin of the potato, you can tell the difference, some potatoes will fall off when you rub them vigorously with your hands; Some potatoes need to be cut with a knife because the skin and flesh are too densely connected.
People who often deal with potatoes, as soon as they look at the condition, they know what kind of seed they are, and they also know whether they are easy to peel. Some skilled chefs know a little more about whether the meat is good or not, what kind of dishes it is suitable for, and so on.
Li Zhongji's age is there, more than 20 years of cooking experience, his hands and mind are full of experience, a look at the quality of these potatoes, although I don't know what kind of variety it is, but it can be seen that it is difficult to peel, so choose a paring knife.
Strangely, how could the young Zou Xiaoying also see that this potato is difficult to peel?
In fact, Li Zhongji thought about it a lot, not because Zou Xiaoying was powerful, but because he had seen this kind of potato.
There are many varieties of potatoes, and the potatoes in the Beicheng market come from all over the country, including HLJ, HB, NMG, SD, and even YN potatoes, so it is really difficult to distinguish each type of potato.
Fortunately, there is no need to distinguish that this kind of potatoes are mostly sold in the market, and star-rated hotels deliver vegetables, and local vegetable farmers send home-grown fresh vegetables, including potatoes.
The potatoes from the Garden Hotel and the potatoes from the Beicheng Hotel are delivered by the same vegetable farmer, and they are both local high-yield potatoes, which are large, noodle, and not easy to peel. In the past few years, Zou Xiaoying has practiced knife work hard, and I don't know how many tons of this potato have been wasted, so naturally she will not admit her mistake.
Jin Taisheng looked at the two of them, they were all ready, so he snorted: "Let's start." The four referees started the time, Kim Zhongji and Zou Xiaoying peeled the potatoes.
There are many varieties of potatoes, and there are many varieties of potato knives, and both of them chose long-handled, thin-edged single-sided knives, a bit like fruit knives, which are attached to the potatoes and brought down like a shave, and the skin is completely peeled off.
The two of them are masters, and the peeled potatoes are smooth and perfect surfaces, and they basically don't hurt the flesh.
With this alone, all the chefs present were very impressed, how boring people would do this? Well, to put it another way, how passionate and dedicated does that take for a good chef to do that?
The two of them not only did it, but also did it perfectly, and the chefs who were invited to help were secretly lucky, but fortunately it was not themselves who competed, otherwise they would be embarrassed, and they would not have to mix in the future.
These people pretended to have a calm expression while taking chances, and they must not show timidity. Among them were Deng Hai and Ke Qiang, two chefs from five-star restaurants who were also surprised, and they couldn't figure out why these two people practiced peeling potatoes. Wouldn't it be better to practice shredding with this time?
Only Bai Lu looked at it coldly, and Xindao This guy who looks fake has some ability, no wonder he can win the championship of the North City Chef Competition.
Five catties of potatoes, peeled first and then shredded, is not only a simple knife skill, but also a good time arrangement, but also patience, which is a test of the chef's ability.
The two of them on the field almost did the same thing, peeling the skin first and soaking it in clean water. After all the skin is peeled, take another large basin filled with water, set aside, and start shredding.
Cut the easy ones first, quickly cut the potatoes into slices, and throw the remaining small thick slices that cannot be cut straight back into the water basin, and repeat the process with different potatoes.
It was not until this step that the movements of the two began to be different. Li Zhongji quickly shredded the potatoes one by one, put them in the water basin, and processed the small pieces that could not be cut directly.
Zou Xiaoying dragged it, cut three or four potatoes into slices together, and then squeezed them with her hands, and spread a straight line formed by potato slices on the cutting board, and then began to shred. The movements are light and fluid, look aesthetically pleasing, and save a bit of time.
The potatoes they choose are relatively large, about three pounds per catty, and fifteen or six pounds for five catties. Even peel the belt and shred it, and it will be done in 20 minutes.
Such a short time, such a fast action. After the two of them finished work, the chefs in the audience didn't want to go up to compete. In addition to being shocked, they asked Zou Xiaoying's origin one after another.
Among these people, the most depressed is the Korean chef who borrowed from the Beicheng Hotel, he knows Zou Xiaoying, because of his different status, he rarely talks to this second chef who has only been promoted for a long time. But I didn't expect this kid's knife skills to be so powerful. I knew that I would let him play for him, and he wouldn't lose an adult.
Now, when you're done, check the results.
Two large white steel basins, soaked in clear water like shredded potatoes like thin threads, white, bleached, very beautiful.
Jin Taisheng grabbed a dozen shredded potatoes in two basins, took out a needle, and all the shredded potatoes passed through the eye of the needle lightly.
Drain the water with a grate and pass it through a scale, and Li Zhongji's shredded potatoes should be slightly lighter.
Comparing the shredding time, Zou Xiaoying finished five seconds ahead.
In this way, based on the results of the comparison together, Zou Xiaoying won.
All Koreans didn't expect this to be the end, one by one they couldn't believe it, how could this be? How is it possible to lose?
And the Chinese chef, after learning the result, roared and shouted, win, it was the Korean chef who won, and everyone was very happy. Only Bai Pavement looked at Zou Xiaoying with a smile.
His instincts, this person is very fake. However, it doesn't matter if it has nothing to do with me, no matter how fake it is, just watch the excitement.
After Zou Xiaoying won, she walked towards Li Zhongji with a smile and took the initiative to shake hands: "You are very powerful, I am lucky." That being said, the joy and arrogance in his tone that could not be concealed betrayed his thoughts.
Li Zhongji's face was a little blue, and he didn't expect that he would lose.
At noon today, Han Qianxi, the big boss of 7UP Group, personally called him to congratulate him on his victory yesterday, and by the way, encouraged him to continue to play triumphant songs today. It's a pity that the triumphant voice is gone.
Li Zhongji, as a middle and high-level cadre of the group, knows that the Qianxi Group is using his victory to do propaganda in China, and this time he lost, and after returning to China, he doesn't know what kind of ending will be waiting for him.
Therefore, in the kitchen at this time, whether happy or frustrated, everyone has their own ideas, and among them is Luo Hongyu's thoughts.
Luo Hongyu is an official, he doesn't care about the results of the competition, he only cares about the investment of Qianxi Hotel, so when others were busy celebrating, he was the first to comfort Li Zhongji: "Mr. Li, this is just an informal discussion, don't care, I am preparing a good wine in the VIP room on the second floor, and please appreciate the light, President Jin, please participate in it." ”
When this sentence came to the empty place, no one answered, and the ten Koreans in the room all looked gloomy and looked at each other, and Kim Tae-sung said, "Go back." "Lead the people out.
