Chapter 362: Rival French Top Chef
Yanbin Building is a time-honored brand in the provincial capital.
It belongs to the more traditional Chinese restaurant, as the provincial competition venue of the Chinese Food Grand Prix, the banquet building has long been overcrowded.
Among them, the largest number of judges are the public.
There are only eight real teams.
That is, the top eight in the provincial division of this year's Chinese Food Grand Prix.
Lu Shuyao's father's team is the Dinghao team.
Dinghao itself is a five-star hotel.
But what they really do is that the room service has hardware facilities, and in terms of restaurants, it should be regarded as an annex to the hotel.
In a sense.
The personnel participating in this competition are equivalent to a department of Dinghao Hotel.
And the Datong River itself is just a restaurant. All they do is food.
So it feels like those people in Datongjiang are more professional than Lu Shuyao and her father's team.
This kind of perception is not only Shen Qiang, but everyone else probably thinks so.
But actually.
There are more than 20 five-star hotels in the provincial capital.
The only one who really participated in the food competition and entered the top eight was Dinghao, a team led by Lu Shuyao's father.
The other seven are all professional restaurants.
And the most embarrassing thing is that as one of the organizers, the provider of the competition venue, the team of the banquet building, did not even enter the top 16, and was eliminated early.
Everything is in place step by step.
Because it's just a provincial competition, there's definitely no such lavish treatment of crowded journalists.
The teams were nervously preparing for the work.
Lu Shuyao's father also looked at Shen Qiang nervously and said: "This is the provincial finals, what we want to do is a traditional banquet, four cold dishes, four hot stir-fried, four large plates, with two medium plates, two hot soups, a total of sixteen dishes." ”
"I know that Xiao Shen is good at medicinal food, but you are restricted by customs, and you don't seem to be the same as ordinary chefs, so in this case, we can only make the sixteen dishes we are good at according to the pre-set settings. ”
"If your medicinal diet is suitable for replacing whichever one, then we will replace which one. Do you see it?"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned slightly, in fact, the more elaborate the traditional table, the more difficult it is to interfere.
After all, the medicinal diet itself, on the basis of food, it pays more attention to the medicinal effect.
And many foods themselves are in conflict with medicinal diets.
Lu Shuyao's father wants to make a 16-course traditional banquet.
Four cold dishes, four stir-fried, these eight dishes can be replaced with medicinal food, and nearly a hundred combinations and combinations instantly surged in Shen Qiang's mind.
But this is the big game.
The cold dish itself is cold, and it cannot bring out the moisturizing and warm properties.
And the small fry itself is destined to be easy to cold.
Two mid-game.
Generally speaking, it is a dish of the type of carving and shaping.
The nature is similar to that of cold dishes, and it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of medicinal food.
Then all that's left is four big plates and two soups to make a fuss.
Usually, the traditional four large plates speak of four main courses.
Generally speaking, chicken, duck and fish meat are basically necessary.
You can't replace the hard dishes such as chicken, duck and fish with yams, so the most reasonable and suitable entry point for medicinal food is undoubtedly in the soup.
It's just a matter of what kind of soup to make and which aspect of this soup to pay more attention to.
Because he had not cooperated before, he didn't know the strength of Lu Shuyao's father's team at all, so he rashly decided to do something and forced him to stuff it, just because he was afraid that not only would it not help, but it would disrupt their normal level of performance.
So after a moment of silence, Shen Qiang said: "Please follow your original plan to play, I will try to make a medicinal meal to match your banquet according to the situation, if it is not suitable, I will be regarded as an outsider." ”
Lu Shuyao's father nodded: "Time is in a hurry, and it can only be like this." ”
With that, he began to methodically arrange the projects that others were responsible for.
It looks very familiar.
Not only that, but these sixteen dishes also have their own characteristics and are matched together, which can be called the essence of traditional Chinese cuisine.
It's just a pity.
Only the white banquet of the dead will serve seventeen dishes, so if Shen Qiang makes a move, at least one of these sixteen dishes will be replaced.
The preparations are progressing quickly and smoothly.
It was half past ten in the morning.
All kinds of ingredients are almost ready.
Shen Qiang stood in front of a small stove of his own, still without any preparations.
Because for him, there is no need to prepare in advance at all.
In the precepts, there is a little bit of all kinds of medicinal food materials.
If you have to deal with the ingredients temporarily, Shen Qiang is a cultivator, and his speed is so fast that he flies, and preparing in advance will make the ingredients not fresh, so there is nothing to say here.
At this time, the staff of the organizing committee of the competition notified each participating team through the radio to conduct the final inspection, and at the same time announced that the competition officially started and entered the ten-minute countdown.
The contestants of each team looked solemn, and the members of the Dinghao team also looked very nervous.
Lu Shuyao's father came to Shen Qiang's side, and seeing that Shen Qiang had not made any preparations, he couldn't help but pat Shen Qiang on the shoulder and said, "Take it easy, if you can come today, it will already be a great help to me." ”
Shen Qiang smiled.
Standing on your feet to cheer?
It's just that this is not enough, Shen Qiang came this time to help him get the first.
This is what I promised Lu Shuyao!
At this moment, the owner of the banquet building, who had taken a photo outside the banquet building before, took the French chef and entered proudly with his eyes, and happened to pass by Shen Qiang's side.
He glanced coldly at Shen Qiang's neat and unprepared small stove, and sneered and mocked: "That's a great word, it looks like you're about to raise your hands and surrender, but that's right, compared to the French chefs we specially hired, you are just some rubbish." ”
Shen Qiang's face turned cold.
Lu Shuyao's father patted Shen Qiang's shoulder with his hand and motioned for Shen Qiang to ignore him.
And almost at the same time, Boss Datong Jiang looked at Shen Qiang with a smug look in his eyes and said: "Young people always like to be pretentious, but in fact they are far behind. Looking at the French chef beside him with some fanatical eyes, he said, "Our top chef will let you know what is delicious." ”
With that, he left proudly.
Looking at his sparkling appearance, Lu Shuyao's father sighed and said: "The three world-class dishes that the French chef is best at are definitely foie gras, caviar, and truffles, and in this regard, our Chinese chefs are not good at it. ”
Foie gras, caviar, these two, Shen Qiang really has a few recipes for medicinal diets at hand, and they can probably make different flavors.
If you look at it purely from a delicious point of view, you may not be able to win against a French chef.
But truffles are different......
Because at this time, in Shen Qiang's ring, there was a top-grade truffle lying there.
Three-color no mother's fruit, earth spirit fetus!
