Thirty contestants, each with a dish, divided into two columns, were placed on the judges' table.

The materials are prepared by the program team, and they are ordinary ingredients, the judges didn't expect these people to carve dragons and phoenixes and make such exaggerated and good-looking dishes in the movie, but at least, you have to give me the standard of a three-star hotel or above, otherwise, why do you participate in the competition.

Therefore, the six judges led by Zhang Facai came up to pick the dishes first, looked at the ones who had no appetite, and brushed them directly.

In terms of cooking time alone, most dishes in the world can be completed in 30 minutes, especially stir-frying, which can be done by boiling in a pot for a few hours, which is very time-saving. The reason why you are given 30 minutes is that the extra time is to let you ponder the color of the dish, if so, you are cooking the same as home-cooked food, how dare the judges let you enter the finals?

The six judges, each holding a notebook in their hands, read it as they walked, and occasionally made a note.

Some dishes should be eaten hot, some dishes should be eaten quickly, and a little cold or a little longer will affect the taste of the dishes. Like now, the judges' unhurried evaluation of the dishes made the contestants really bottomless.

Sure enough, after reading the first dish, the judges didn't taste it at all, and after counting the scores, the second topic, Yangzhou fried rice.

To follow the recipe of Yangzhou fried rice, the program team prepares the same ingredients, from rice to seasoning, everyone is the same thing, and it takes thirty minutes.

This question is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say, it is very annoying.

Yangzhou fried rice was originally just the name of a fried rice, after many years and many people have evolved and developed. It is not too much to say that it has become a cuisine, and now it is the collective name of many kinds of fried rice in Yangzhou.

Every chef will make Yangzhou fried rice, and every chef will not make Yangzhou fried rice, because there is no standard recipe for this thing, and it will appropriately increase or decrease side dishes according to the season and regional differences. For example, Jinhua ham, not to mention the big hotel, the small restaurant will never bother to buy any Jinhua ham, just get a ham sausage.

Another example is shrimp, how many restaurants use fresh shrimp. Others such as sea cucumbers or scallops are not to be mentioned. Sometimes. You can't even eat green beans.

This is a very legendary dish, so legendary that everyone has heard the name, but few people have eaten authentic Yangzhou fried rice. Legend has it that there is an ancient recipe detailing the origin and recipe of fried rice, that is, the bowl of rice for the emperor. But no one saw it. Some people say that there are standard recipes. That recipe is the most authentic Yangzhou fried rice. If you follow the recipe, it will be extremely delicious.

Fortunately, it's just a legend, and the program team doesn't have that recipe. Only simple ingredients are given, eggs, green beans, ham, green onions, gone.

Looking at this pile of materials, Bai Lu sighed, what a program group that can live, such a large venue has been rented, and there are still so many ingredients?

At this time, the contestants distributed the ingredients, and the male and female hosts dragged the six judges to speak, which dish was nothing more than how to see it.

After a while, the contestants received the ingredients, and the competition began again.

This dish is very oily, scrambled eggs cost oil, fried rice costs even more oil, otherwise why would you let the rice spread out one by one, and still emit a yellow and clear light?

Fried rice, you always have to make it different from others, Bailu has its own production method.

Heat the pan first, then pour the oil, when the oil is boiling, pour the oil back into the bowl, add the rice at this time, and use the pot with only the oil bottom to fry the rice until the rice grains are completely dispersed.

At this time, take out the rice, separate the egg yolk and egg white, stir well, put the rice into a fine hedge, cover the egg yolk liquid, wait to drain the egg yolk liquid, put the rice into a bowl and stir it slightly, and let it dry.

Stir the pan again and separate the scrambled egg yolks and egg whites.

Then turn on the fire, chopped green onions, add ham, green beans, egg yolks, and egg whites in turn, add various seasonings, pour in rice after the most sloppy, stir-fry a few times over high heat, and remove from the pot.

It's just a fried rice, and it's a hassle for him to make. Under normal circumstances, no one wastes time making such a dish.

But because it was a competition, not only him, none of the 30 contestants fried rice according to the normal steps, and each made a different fried rice with ingenuity, which means that no one made Yangzhou fried rice that can be bought in restaurants. After comparing it to some fried rice, the method of making Hakuro is relatively simple.

Some masters directly soak the rice with egg mixture, and then fry it in the pot. There are high people who dry fried rice, fried rice, and fried again after adding egg wash. There is a high person to moisten the bottom of the pot, only take the egg white and stir-fry, and then add the rice. A little imaginary master fried eggs to look like a dragon boat, and put the fried rice into the dragon boat. The most imaginative masters fry the various ingredients separately in the pot, and then fry the rice alone, sorting all the ingredients and piling them on the plate, and the scenery of each piece is different, which looks quite beautiful.

Thirty minutes later, all the fried rice was served to the judges. Looking at the strange fried rice, Zhang Facai was the first to be stunned, he deeply suspected that these guys were here to smash the field, thirty plates of fried rice, using the same raw materials, there were no two plates that looked slightly similar.

The morning exam questions are arranged by him and the program team, a total of two, the first one tests the strain of the contestants, to see how you can make the ingredients the best and delicious. The second course is to fight the basic skills, and it depends on whose fried rice is delicious. As a result, the evaluation of the first dish was okay, and when it came to the second dish, I didn't expect a bunch of too smart brains to misunderstand and play eight immortals.

Mingchen was an eye-opener, he never thought that a fried rice could be fried with so many tricks, holding a small bowl and spoon to taste one by one, and a large bowl of water beside him emptied the taste of rice in his mouth at any time.

The other judges also acted in the same way, anyway, after some selection, there were ten people left, including Zou Xiaoying, Datian, and naturally Bailu.

Seeing that these two guys were not eliminated, Bai Lu walked over, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard Zou Xiaoying say coldly: "Unexpectedly, you have some ability." ”

Depressed, this guy grabbed my lines! Bai Lu was very depressed, so he simply pretended to be cool, continued to walk forward, and passed by Zou Xiaoying.

Behind Zou Xiaoying was Zhang Facai and the host, in order not to show timidity, Bai Lu walked in front of Zhang Facai and stopped: "I want to ask, how did the program team deal with the two dishes we cooked?"

Zhang Facai was being interviewed by the host, and suddenly heard this sentence, hesitated and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I don't do anything, I first ask you what you want to do. ”

The host was not stupid, so he hurriedly interrupted the interview and said to Bai Lu: "We are doing a show, what is the matter, can you talk about it for a while?" Bai Lu shook his head.

Zhang Facai said: "You go and ask the director team." ”

So, Bai asked the director team. The director's answer was simple: "Thrown." "The reason is that the food is getting cold, and they have to eat a hot box lunch.

Bai Lu said, "I'll throw it for you." "Take a lunch box and take all the food, get someone to help carry it to the street, and take a taxi to the home of love.

He left all these dishes for the Home of Love, and instructed the staff to warm them up while eating, while he himself left the House of Love to find a place to eat.

Halfway through eating, Gao Yuan called: "I asked, your performance in the morning was very good, and you can enter the top five by cooking anything in the afternoon, are you sure you don't want to play?"

Bai Lu didn't answer immediately, and asked Gao Yuan: "Ask me the program team, how many episodes of this bad show will be made?"

Gao Yuan replied: "Starting from the end of February, a total of 45 players participated in the competition, which ended in three months. ”

"Three months, you're going crazy!"

"It's okay with me. "Gao Yuan dissociated himself.

"It's related to me. Bai Lu hung up the phone, continued to eat, and then went back to the Meiya Center.

The Meiya Center is a multimedia center, not only for cooking, but even for billiards matches, in short, a lot of things that may be on TV shows, which are prepared.

Compared with the morning exam, the afternoon exam is more humane, there are many ingredients piled up in the kitchen, you can pick it up, whatever you cook, as long as you make a dish within three hours, those who pass can enter the top five and participate in the national competition.

Seeing that it was this kind of game rule, Bai Lu did not leave. After entering, choose a random potato, cut a plate of shredded potatoes, mix it with water, hand it over and leave.

The judges said that they could not make a decision until they had tasted all the dishes, Bai Lu didn't have the heart to wait, and said to the judges: "If you pass, call me, and if you don't pass, call me too." Then he left in style.

I was able to meet this kind of player. Several judges, plus the moderator, were very unhappy.

Bai Lucai didn't care what they thought, they had already coped with the errand anyway, and the rest was just luck.

After returning home, Sasha enthusiastically poured him water and asked about the game. Bai Lu replied that he didn't know what to do.

Shasha dragged Bai Lu into the room and said seriously, "I want to have a meeting with you." ”

"No need to open it, what do you want to do, just tell me, and I will do it." ”

"You have to take the game seriously and win the championship," Sasha said. ”

Bai Lu asked, "For what?"

Sha Sha said: "Sister Wen Qing's all her efforts are on the new hotel, you don't see how tired and hard she is, you must win the competition and build momentum for the new hotel, which will save Sister Wen Qing some effort." ”

This idea used to be the reason why Bai Lu participated in the competition, but now, after such a long time, Bai Lu is very lazy, and he really doesn't want to be dragged on by a competition for too long. So he replied, "There are other ways to build momentum." ”

Sha Sha said: "This method is the simplest and most effective, if you win the championship and represent Chinese cuisine to participate in the Asian Chef Competition, after winning, the reputation of the hotel is absolutely in full swing, and it can definitely bring a large number of guests to relieve pressure on Sister Wen Qing, you don't know how tired Sister Wen Qing is, she can relax a little in front of you, she can lose a little temper, and bully you occasionally, brother, don't bother, Sister Wen Qing is a woman, if you don't lose a little temper with you, you will definitely be able to go crazy, do you want Sister Wen Qing to lose her temper with others?"

Bai Lu said in his heart, I don't mind her losing her temper with others. But, in front of Shasha, he was really embarrassed to say that. (To be continued......)
