Food Circle Plug-in Emperor

When he arrived at the place, Fu Yu found out that Liu Yunong took him to the local chef school.

The school is actually not far from the hotel where they stayed, and it only takes seven or eight minutes by taxi.

"My friend is the vice-principal of this school. I've greeted him. Let's borrow the cinema room tonight."

Liu Yunong led Fu Yu into the viewing room with the green light all the way.

There were only the two of them in the spacious room.

The teacher who came to help with the screening adjusted the machine, gave a brief instruction on the specific operation, and then left.

Liu Yunong pressed play, and a pre-edited cooking video appeared on the huge high-definition projection video.

Liu Yunong said: "I asked someone to help download and edit the cooking videos of the outstanding national contestants in the past two years. Because of the tight schedule, only a few high-scoring contestants were selected for viewing."

"These players in the early stage were those who scored more than 94 points at that time. The second place last year, He Jie, scored 98 points. Among them, in terms of cooking skills, there are more cooking operations like stir-frying and stewing."

Liu Yunong obviously did enough homework. He watched all the cooking videos of these contestants in the early stage, and carefully divided the specific cuisines and various cooking skills.

Fu Yu was a little surprised by the level of detail in the classification.

Moreover, the videos played are also step-by-step. You can observe and communicate while explaining the cooking operations progressively.

They even deliberately arranged the cooking videos of two contestants with similar skills to be played back and forth.

Liu Yunong's ability to appreciate cooking operations is really strong, especially the summary of learning is very detailed.

The two unknowingly stayed in the viewing room until late at night, constantly communicating and discussing.

It was already half past one in the morning when I came out of the chef school.

Walking in the cool night breeze, Fu Yu didn't feel sleepy at all. On the contrary, he felt very excited.

These cooking videos made Fu Yu intuitively feel the advantages and disadvantages of these chefs with relatively high cooking skills in some cooking skills.

Back at the hotel, Fu Yu thought he would suffer from insomnia, but he fell asleep almost as soon as his head touched the pillow.

Early the next morning, the four of them ate breakfast together and rushed to the competition site together.

Without being at the scene in person, there would be no such intuitive comparison.

Looking at the grand opening ceremony of the competition in front of him, Fu Yu couldn't help becoming solemn.

Whether it is the layout of the scene, the number of contestants, or even the service personnel in the venue, in terms of dressing and reception services, they all give people a very grand and formal feeling.

This is an atmosphere that Fu Yu did not feel in the provincial competition.

All the seats on the field are labeled with names, and the people present need to be seated according to the number. Everything is in order. The auditorium is no longer separated, but arranged on the second floor of the open hall. There are almost no empty seats. At first glance, it is all made by the provinces themselves. Competition banner.

And on the huge electronic screen in the middle, there are demonstrations of gourmet banquets from all over the country.

Du Yingchun told Fu Yu very experienced that after a while, when the actual game is played, the cooking images of the contestants in the live game will appear on the big screen, but usually it is a live broadcast of high-level cooking operation videos.

There are also two rows of expert judges on the stage. During the entire competition, the experts will analyze and evaluate the cooking videos that appear in it.

At the opening ceremony, the president of the National Gastronomy Association, the leaders of the Food Administration, and officials from some relevant departments, there were six or seven high-ranking figures who spoke.

The entire opening ceremony has been going on for more than half an hour.

Fu Yu's blood boiled with excitement when he heard it, and his whole body was overwhelmed with excitement.

The national competition is different!

Lu Wen next to him took advantage of the opening ceremony and when the host was finishing his eulogy, he quietly approached Fu Yu: "Stand up straight, I saw a drone flying past just now."

Fu Yu was taken aback for a moment, and asked curiously, "Why, is this scene still being broadcast live?"

Lu Wen said in a low voice: "We will be on CCTV at the end of this game! This national event has received a lot of attention, and there will be related reports at that time, but after editing, the people who appeared at the opening ceremony should be the chairman Those leaders on the stage, but at the final awards ceremony, the top three contestants will all have a chance to show their faces!"

When Fu Yu heard this, he became more and more excited. If he can get the top three, will he have a chance to be on CCTV?

His parents will be so happy by then!

"Really?" Fu Yu asked quickly.

Lu Wen nodded: "Yes, I watched it on purpose, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to show my face."

After Lu Wen finished speaking, seeing Fu Yu's excited face, he couldn't help but sighed.

I think I was like this at the beginning!

At nine o'clock in the morning, the game officially began.

Under the guidance of the host, all contestants began to draw lots in turn.

There are three games in total today, one in the morning and two in the afternoon.

After Fu Yu lined up to draw lots, he registered.

Group B 005.

Fu Yu remembered his position and followed the staff into the arena.

This time, there was no waiting area at the competition site, and all players entered the arena.

The configuration in the room is similar.

The games are played simultaneously.

With the experience of the provincial competition, Fu Yu was quite calm after entering the arena.

He bowed politely to the expert judges first.

Then wait patiently for the game to start.

After the game officially started, all the players present did not know what the content of the game was about to face.

So when the service staff came over with the prepared ingredients, Fu Yu was taken aback when he saw the contents on the tray clearly!

On a tray are chicken legs, hand-rolled noodles, and various seasonings for stew, such as refined salt, star anise, bay leaves, and ginger.

On the other tray, there are dried tofu, carrots, coriander, green onions, and more seasonings, including sweet and sour cooking wine, which can be seen as seasonings for cold salad.

Is this proposition cooking?

Seeing the pile of ingredients in front of him, Fu Yu immediately recognized that these should be the ingredients and seasonings needed for cooking shredded chicken noodles and cold dried tofu.

Shredded chicken noodles are Fu Yu's specialty. He usually cooks them in the back kitchen of Maxima, and he often makes them for others to eat during Zhang Luo's breakfast.

The cold dried tofu itself is a side dish of Maxima. He mixes it almost every day, and it is a very skillful dish.

Fu Yu quickly estimated the specific cooking steps in his heart, and felt that it should be stable.

As a result, at this time, the host suddenly announced: "The content of the first competition today is to ask the contestants to cook a dish that they are good at according to the ingredients in front of them. There is no limit to the cuisine, and the time is limited to 2 hours. Now you can start cooking. Please follow the rules of the field."

After listening to the content of the competition announced by the host, Fu Yu's expression changed immediately!

Although the ingredients in front of me seem to be quite a lot, there are actually not many that can be used as side dishes.

Dish cooked with chicken drumsticks, hand rolled noodles, carrots and dried tofu

Although it is not the cooking content of the direct proposition, but only the ingredients and seasonings are provided in this way, allowing the players to freely cook the dishes, but the limitations are even greater!

Especially the one side and one dish served is equivalent to directly crossing out the two dishes that are the easiest to think of and are relatively common.

This will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the game!

The content of the competition with propositions and the rules of the competition with fixed ingredients seem to be the same, but in fact there is a big difference in essence. The most difficult point is the choice of dishes. As long as the cuisine is not suitable, it is a failure!

But it is precisely because there is no fixed proposition, but there is a little more possibility of creating a culinary miracle.

The ingredients are fixed, but there are many dishes that can be made.

There are popular ones, some unpopular ones, stir-fried, stewed and boiled.

The specific choice depends on personal cooking hobbies and on-site cooking.

How can the simplest ingredients be made into the most advanced appearance to get high marks from the expert judges!

Such a difficult choice does not exist when the proposition is fixed.

When Fu Yu saw all the ingredients and seasonings on the kitchen counter, he was at a loss for a moment.

No wonder I want to increase my knowledge and expand my knowledge in cooking, because the content of this kind of competition is actually very representative.

Just like this time!

The types of dishes prepared are so simple that people don't know how to start. Chicken legs are a very common ingredient and are very versatile in cooking.

It can be cooked whole, or chopped and deboned, shredded and sliced.

Dried tofu and carrots are even more versatile side dishes, even if they are made into a plate, they can be matched with any ingredients to complement each other.

Dishes that can be cooked with the three ingredients in front of him quickly emerged in Fu Yu's mind one after another.

But the camera that can't wait to directly hit his face is reminding Fu Yu all the time.

Don't rush to order dishes, think slowly, and decide carefully!

Seemingly simple ingredients, but under the competition of so many contestants, how can a dish stand out and win unanimous praise from the expert judges is a very difficult choice!

Fu Yu frowned!

There are many dishes he can cook, and it has become a very difficult choice to choose which one to cook.

Chicken legs want to eat delicious, generally speaking, the cooking method of stewing and braised is better.

However, if you want to cook with dried tofu and carrots, the taste is really easy to neutralize, but only a little, but any dish cooked with these three together is too homely.

Although home-cooked dishes are relatively conservative in terms of taste, it is difficult to stand out in terms of innovative ideas.

At the same time, common dishes are very easy to collide with other contestants present, so they should not be used!

But at this time, there is not much rich time for him to choose!

What kind of dishes are you cooking?

Looking at the ingredients in front of him, Fu Yu fell into deep thought.

Qianzhang Braised Chicken is actually pretty good. It tastes delicious after cooking. Whether it is chicken drumsticks or dried tofu, it can be very tasty, especially side dishes can also be added. Even hand-rolled noodles can be directly made into stewed noodles.

But this dish is really not difficult, it can't show off its culinary skills, and it can't impress the expert judges and make them shine.

Teriyaki thousand pieces of chicken drumsticks are also good, but in this case, hand-rolled noodles cannot be used.

In a few seconds, Fu Yu has been thinking about the cooking methods of many dishes in his mind!

Finally, Fu Yu looked at the fresh and tender chicken legs, and suddenly had an idea!

yes!

Anyway, the ingredients are provided, and there is no requirement that all of them must be added to the dishes for cooking!

What are you worrying about so much?

Since you want to be unconventional and impress the eyes of the expert judges, then simply come up with an innovative dish!

Thinking of this, Fu Yu decided to make a bold attempt.

At the same moment, the judges area.

Several experts sat together, watching the video of the contestants playing on the big screen.

And in the auditorium behind them, all the well-known restaurant chefs from all over the country were sitting, as well as some well-known chefs, leaders of food-related departments and Internet celebrity bloggers, as well as specially sent by major restaurants. Cutting-edge chefs who come to exchange and learn.

The host is responsible for invigorating the atmosphere of the scene and connecting the large and small processes of the competition activities.

At this point, the contestants have already started the competition, while the expert judges are focusing on watching the playback screen on the video.

The host started to drive the atmosphere with a smile on his face: "Since ancient times, there has been a life concept of 'food is the first thing for the people, and safety is the first'. Our National Chef Cooking Competition was held for the first time in 1997. After that, it will be held every year as scheduled, providing a platform for outstanding chefs in the circle to show themselves, and also providing a good opportunity for peers to observe, communicate and learn!"

"Now the cooking competition has started. Like everyone here, I am very excited every time I participate in the National Chef Cooking Competition! Because I can witness the continuous rise of batch after batch of outstanding chefs, and take over from the older generation. Take the baton and become a leader in our gourmet circle, the mainstay!"

"I believe that everyone can't wait to see the performance of the contestants! Next, let us give the right to speak to the expert judges, and let them comment on the cooking operations of this competition!"

At the beginning of the competition, in fact, the candidates for the cooking video were not determined based on the performance on the spot. After all, in the early stage of cooking preparation, it was impossible to see the level of personal cooking skills.

Therefore, the players currently appearing on the screen are actually based on the seed players listed on the list who have performed well in the past two years.

As the host's voice fell, the video on the screen soon switched to the cooking scene of one of the contestants.

At this time, the content of the first round of the competition was officially announced.

After seeing the shredded chicken noodles and cold dried tofu delivered to the kitchen counter by the service staff, plus the corresponding ingredients and seasonings.

Immediately, heated discussions erupted in the judges' and audience seats!

Arranging cooking dishes by yourself through selected ingredients is really a very creative competition content!

However, due to the limited ingredients, the difficulty of the players' performance has increased significantly, making the game more interesting. (end of this chapter)
