Food Circle Plug-in Emperor

Yao Shi just heard Chen Dong talking about the next round of competitions, and he was pleasantly surprised: "The sauce mix?"

Chen Dong nodded, before he could speak, Du Yingchun asked, "What? Is this Fu Yu's strength?"

Yao Shi just laughed: "Our store launched a seafood barbecue before, and the sauce used was prepared by Fu Yu himself, and it is very popular."

When Du Yingchun heard this, he nodded: "It seems that Wang Yiqi is out of action again this year. Well, this idea, you said, it's hard to recharge your energy and try to show off, but it turned out to be a waste of time."

Chen Dong was stunned for a moment: "Chef Du, what do you mean?"

Du Yingchun glanced at Yao Shi and said, "I guess it will be difficult for Wang Yiqi to fulfill his wish in the next match."

Chen Dong immediately smiled and said, "No way, Fu Yu's culinary skills are really good, but no matter how good he is, there must be an upper limit, right? I know Wang Yiqi, he's quite a capable person!"

Yao Shi didn't want to speak at first, but when he heard what Chen Dong said, he couldn't help but shook his head: "Chef Chen, I'm not bragging, it means you didn't play to compare with Fu Yu, otherwise, he can compare You doubt life."

"Last year, a well-known gourmet anchor held a takeaway evaluation. At that time, I saw his sauce preparation with my own eyes. The level of cooking operation in that event was indeed very good!"

"It's been more than half a year, and his culinary skills can be said to be improving every day. I think if there is a real competition, he must be better than me."

"However, you didn't watch him operate with your own eyes. You may not have any intuitive feelings just listening to me. It's okay. When the game starts, you will understand what I mean."

These words stunned the few present.

Soon, though, the next cooking competition will begin.

Immediately, everyone present was looking forward to it.

Wang Yiqi was in the queue, his excitement was hard to hide.

After working hard for a year, I can finally participate in the competition again!

Except for not signing up last year, he has participated in five consecutive competitions before. Although he failed to enter the national competition once, he is not in a hurry at all!

The so-called thousands of scouring is hard work, but after blowing away the yellow sand, you will find gold!

Although others take his experience as a joke, he feels that he is a real inspirational life.

How can you succeed easily without going through hardships?

He felt that the failures in the past few years were all training for himself.

If you don't even have this psychological ability to withstand stress, how can you have a breakthrough today?

Wang Yiqi is the type who is really diligent and hardworking. He is never afraid of failure. He is never discouraged every time he fails in a competition. Encouragement and recognition at its best.

Thinking of this, Wang Yiqi looked at the list on the screen again.

The person in the same group is Fu Yu, I don't know him by name, but he looks at his profile again, he is the chef of the Maxima Hotel in Bei'an.

From Beian?

Maxima Hotel is a century-old brand, and it is quite well-known in the province.

This year it is sending newcomers to the competition.

But only 24 years old?

It seems that this rookie chef has a lot of skills!

To be able to pass the first round of the competition smoothly, in Wang Yiqi's opinion, it is already considered a good strength.

Of course, he was unlucky to meet him, and he was about to be eliminated in the second match.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Yiqi felt a little embarrassed.

When Wang Yiqi officially entered the arena, when he saw Fu Yu, he took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Fu Chu, my name is Wang Yiqi, nice to meet you."

Fu Yu was taken aback, he didn't expect Wang Yiqi to have such a good personality, and quickly responded with a smile: "Chef Wang, hello!"

Wang Yiqi quickly took a look at Fu Yu. His opponent was really young and handsome. At first glance, he didn't have a particularly flamboyant personality. He was very calm, and his speech was very decent.

The first impression was good, and the opponent was nearly 20 years younger than himself, which made Wang Yiqi feel a little embarrassed, so his attitude became more and more enthusiastic.

Faced with Wang Yiqi's enthusiastic overtures, Fu Yu was very cooperative.

After all, the other party is already very unlucky, so you have to make him feel better, right?

At the beginning, Wang Yiqi met Fu Yu purely out of caring and apologetic feelings, but when he really chatted, he found that Fu Yu was also very enthusiastic.

So the two chatted from work to family, and from family to relationship.

Both of them cared about each other's feelings, because they felt sorry for each other and wanted to treat each other kindly, so the brief exchange gave them a very speculative feeling.

While chatting enthusiastically, suddenly the staff came to inform that they could officially enter the venue.

According to the order, this time it was Wang Yiqi who entered first.

Before going on the field, Wang Yiqi looked at Fu Yu apologetically, thought for a while, and said, "Fu Chu, we hit it off, and we will be friends from now on. It's rare for you to come to the provincial capital this time, and wait until tomorrow after the game. Tomorrow night, I will treat you, and treat you well."

Wang Yiqi is not the kind of person who can speak well, but his words are very sincere, which makes Fu Yu feel even more sorry

Fu Yu hurriedly said: "Come on, how about this, let's just treat whoever is promoted, how about it? It's a good start!"

Wang Yiqi felt that such an arrangement was quite good. Anyway, no matter what, he would treat the guests by himself in the end, and in this way, the psychological burden was reduced a bit.

Wang Yiqi said with a smile: "Okay, then let's make an agreement, whoever advances in the competition will treat guests to dinner!"

Fu Yu nodded: "Okay, no problem!"

Wang Yiqi joked: "Let's be friends, I won't be merciful in the game after a while."

Fu Yu chuckled: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

Wang Yiqi felt that the burden in his heart was completely gone. When he entered the arena, his steps were obviously a little lighter.

He has a very good impression of Fu Yu. This young man is not only energetic, but also has a very good personality. During the conversation, the two are very speculative and worthy of deep friendship.

When Wang Yiqi entered the arena, he was still thinking that after the competition, he could exchange cooking experience with Fu Yu.

Game start.

The cold dish that Wang Yiqi chooses to cook is cucumber and yuba salad.

This is a very common classic cold dish with rich ingredients. It tastes refreshing and appetizing. It is crisp, tender and juicy. Just one bite can easily whet your appetite.

The soaked bean curd sticks have a complete shape, soak them in cold water after they are cooked.

Deep-fry the peanuts over low heat, chop the cucumber and cut into pieces, mince the garlic, and cut the coriander into sections for later use.

Pour a little bit of oil into the pot and heat it up, then put the dried chili segments into the pot, fry until it changes color and smells fragrant, then turn off the heat.

Spoon the peppers from the pan with the oil over the paprika and minced garlic.

Adding seasonings for mixing is the most common cooking operation. Wang Yiqi takes his time, and all the movements are extremely smooth and done in one go, giving people a natural visual effect.

The close-up shots were presented on the big screen, and even the judges were amazed.

They are all very famous culinary experts in this province, and they naturally have a high level of vision, but this is so. Seeing Wang Yiqi's cooking operations, they are also a little secretly amazed.

The simpler the cooking operation, the more the chef's cooking techniques and skills will be tested.

This cold dish of cucumber and yuba made by Wang Yiqi belongs to the dish of "the sound of the big sound, the invisible of the elephant".

This dish seems simple to cook, but the key lies in the preparation of the sauce. The taste of the sauce should be strong and refreshing, fresh and tasty. At first glance, the color of the finished dish is fresh and tender, highlighting the original appearance of the ingredients. , but fragrant and refreshing.

Regarding the evaluation of cold cucumber and yuba, people in the circle generally describe it as fresh and strong, not greasy or greasy, fresh and tender, refreshing and appetizing, and never tire of eating.

For a cold dish to be outstanding, in addition to the sauce, the cutting of the ingredients, the preparation of the side dishes, and the mastery of the seasoning are also very important.

And these seemingly basic operations can best reflect the chef's own culinary skills.

Wang Yiqi is considered an old man in the competition, and he comes to participate almost every year. All the judges here have a little understanding of his cooking level.

The news that he didn't participate in the competition last year and had to recharge his energy and practice his cooking skills for a year had already spread.

In the eyes of others, what a diligent and motivated chef is this?

In time, he will definitely become a well-known chef!

Thinking of this, several judges frequently showed expressions of appreciation, thinking that when scoring for a while, they can give more opportunities to see if they can send this diligent junior to the semi-finals.

The cooking came to an end soon, and several judges appreciated Wang Yiqi's cooking operation.

Among them, the two leaders of the Provincial Food Association couldn't help but praise: "Not bad, Chef Wang hasn't practiced in vain this year, and he has indeed seen the benefits."

And when the finished dishes were sent to the judges' table, everyone watched and reviewed the details of the dishes first, and after tasting the taste, they already had the final judgment in their hearts.

Wang Yiqi stood aside, quietly waiting for the judges to announce the scores.

And his performance at this time also fell into the eyes of the judges.

Calm, generous, neither humble nor overbearing.

A man with great potential.

Final score: 96 points!

Wang Yiqi couldn't hide his joy when he saw the score.

He excitedly nodded his thanks to all the judges, and then left the arena as requested by the staff.

Wang Yiqi thinks that he performed too well to get such a high score. If he had scored such a high score last year, he would have easily won the final.

Thinking of this, when he saw Fu Yu, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

This is a crushing victory, right?

Wang Yiqi couldn't help comforting him and said: "Fu Chu, come on later, our friendship comes first and the competition comes second, no matter who wins or loses, don't affect our relationship!"

These words hit Fu Yu's heart, he nodded and smiled slightly: "Okay, Chef Wang, I will work hard!"

The two greeted each other briefly, and Fu Yu followed the staff into the game site.

The first time is raw, the second time is cooked.

Fu Yu went straight to the vegetable selection area with his familiarity.

While he was busy preparing dishes and adding seasonings, the judges were still talking about Wang Yiqi.

Fu Yu didn't know this at all, all the preliminary preparations were completed, and Fu Yu started cooking directly.

He is going to make a fish-flavored cooked chicken slice.

After Fu Yu started cutting and preparing dishes, the two judges from the Provincial Gastronomy Association were the first to pay attention.

As a result, after a closer look, the two judges were taken aback.

This knife is so good!

And as the two of them sighed, other people around them also gradually focused on the cooking operations on the field.

Seeing that Fu Yu was holding a kitchen knife, he first sliced ​​chicken, then sliced ​​belly, and then showed his hand to quickly cut shredded white meat.

The other judges were also surprised.

When did the circle in the province become so powerful?

There are so many talents, such a young chef can have such exquisite cutting operations.

However, knife skills are, after all, the basic skill of cooking and a skill that all chefs must master.

Solid basic skills are the foundation of good dishes, so most chefs work very hard on this aspect.

There are many people with excellent knife skills, and this skill is not an outstanding one.

What's more, Zhuyu was in front of him just now, and he also showed a particularly excellent knife skill. Compared with the two, it is difficult for Fu Yu to surpass.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

The judges became more dumbfounded and amazed the more they watched.

This. This. This is awesome!

Fish-flavored sauce is a very distinctive sauce.

The main point of seasoning is to have chili, salt, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, onion, ginger and garlic.

So its taste priority is: salty, sweet, sour, spicy.

And this sauce, in fact, is usually used to cook dishes such as fish-flavored shredded pork and fish-flavored eggplant.

Right now, Fu Yu is preparing to make a cold dish with fish-flavored sauce.

Fish-flavored cooked chicken slices is actually a special dish in Fu Yu's hometown, and it is usually served in restaurants on the streets and alleys.

It is not made into dishes, or it is directly covered with rice and noodles. The taste is very fragrant and it is very popular with customers.

In the provincial capital, this dish is not very common, but you can roughly guess the specific cooking method just by looking at the name of the dish.

What surprised several judges was Fu Yu's handling of cooking details, key operation skills, consideration of the overall taste of the dishes and the shape of the dishes, and his grasp of the cooking of the entire dish. Fu Yu's current level is even worse than on top of them!

For a moment, everyone in the judges' seat was silent, and all their attention was focused on the cooking operation shown by Fu Yu in the camera.

The cooking of this young man's dish unexpectedly showed off his unique skills in front of them!

Every time he dealt with the details, every step of the operation, Fu Yu did it very well, it was perfect!

Even with so many judges present, none of them could pick out the slightest flaw.

If you have to find fault with the egg, it can only be said that this kid is a little deliberately showing off his skills.

Otherwise, which chef would do all the operations in daily cooking so standard, so smooth, and so aesthetically pleasing?

This is a competition of cooking skills, not an assessment of the chef's overall appearance and cooking demeanor.

Is it necessary to be so handsome? (end of this chapter)
