Life is a Game

Jiang Feng was the last contestant to arrive at the competition venue, and he didn't even have time to put on makeup, so he was taken backstage to prepare for the competition after he played casually.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you wear makeup or not. Anyway, the lens has its own beauty effect, and there is no competitor like Zhang Guanghang who is ashamed to go on stage without makeup. Some are just Chef Arnold, which makes people feel He looked at the bearded and strong man who was about to go first.

The four participating chefs who also felt that the light of New York already wanted to leave.

Chef Arnold is obviously not in a good mood today.

You don't need to know why he is in a bad mood. Chef Arnold has many reasons for him to be in a bad mood every day. The ingredients are not fresh, the idiot boss calls him again, some stupid food critic from the other side of the ocean writes an article to criticize him, or the breakfast is not delicious, and the tools are not easy to use. Such small things can make him angry.

You don't need to know the reason, everyone just needs to know that Chef Arnold is not happy today.

Chef Arnold is not happy, the show must be good.

The photographers are all ready, just waiting for the start of the game to use the camera to fully record the scene where Chef Arnold pointed at a few of his subordinates and yelled and shit frequently.

"How is it? Did the staff talk about the rules of the game just now?" Because Jiang Feng came late, he was led into the dressing room and put on an invisible makeup in a hurry, missing all the staff's speeches.

"Speaking of which, the rules of the competition are quite simple." Wu Minqi said, "The theme is not limited, but each group is limited to only two dishes, one main course and one dessert. The competition time is still from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m. A full 6 hours."

Jiang Feng nodded, it was really simple.

One main dish, one dessert, 4 chefs, 6 hours, more than enough, but not being able to cook the broth will limit the performance of the Chinese food chefs on the field.

As long as there is enough time, which Chinese chef doesn't want to cook one or two high-skilled soup dishes, and show the bearded chef opposite the profound meaning of soup.

A long time has its advantages. Many delicacies and delicacies need a long time to be cooked slowly, and so is Chinese food and Western food. Although the long-term competition system will affect the viewing effect, it can give chefs more space to play.

This may also be why the program group chose such a large venue but did not set up auditoriums.

All the participating chefs are waiting in the background, and the judges have already taken their seats. The host also began to pretend that there were audiences in the empty studio, and introduced the 16 chefs and 4 judges who participated in this competition with great emotion.

To sum it up in one sentence, the judges and contestants in this competition are very good, and we are serious about the cooking competition.

It lasted more than ten minutes, and it was estimated that it would be cut into a few minutes. After the introduction, the 16 contestants stepped onto the stage (which is also the competition venue) under the spotlight according to the previous rehearsal, and walked to their respective kitchens. In front of the stage, waiting for the game to start.

As the huge electronic clock on the big screen began to count down, the semi-finals of the Good Taste China-US Chef Competition officially began.

The ingredients area is on the left side of the stage. Compared with the ingredients in the semi-finals of the last test, it can be said that there are all the ingredients that an ordinary person can't think of. Jiang Feng can clearly see the bamboo baskets in the second row. Live snakes.

The game started and no one moved.

The contestants in each group gather together behind their respective cooking tables to discuss the dishes that should be prepared in the semi-finals.

The biggest difficulty of the semi-finals is that the theme of the competition is short notice, and all contestants must decide on the two dishes to cook in a very short period of time. A main dish and a dessert seem to have a wide range, but if you want to win beautifully and neatly, you must show some housekeeping skills, but you can't fully show them.

And the final.

The trump card has to be saved for the finals.

"I'll be in charge of the desserts, Jiang Feng, the main course, you decide. Xiao Kai will help me, Wu Minqi, you will help Jiang Feng." Sun Maocai made the final decision.

Although when it comes to desserts, most people think of Western food at the first time, but in fact, Chinese food is definitely one of the best in terms of style and eating method.

Cantonese desserts are the most popular among Chinese desserts.

It is definitely the best choice for Sun Maocai to be in charge of desserts.

"What are you going to do?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Bird's nest with rock sugar."

Jiang Feng:?

Although the bird's nest with rock sugar can be regarded as a dessert no matter how you look at it, he still feels that Sun Maocai is cheating.

When other chefs make desserts such as Black Forest, brownies, and puddings, they add caviar at most, or sprinkle some gold leaf to increase the price.

It was good for Sun Maocai, who directly made the bird's nest as the main course for dessert.

Is this the top Cantonese chef? Love love love.

After deciding on a dessert that could serve ten dishes, Jiang Feng began to have a headache for the main course.

He is very confident about Jiang's participation in soup now, but this is his trump card, and it must be saved until the finals before it can be used to dazzle the audience. Desserts are bird's nests with rock sugar. If you don't have something that can beat the market for the main course, let alone other people's dishes, you can't even beat your own desserts.

What can I do?

Sun Maocai and Sun Jikai had already left to pick vegetables, while Jiang Feng was still squatting behind the processing table thinking about what to do.

Wu Minqi didn't say a word, her task today was to help Jiang Feng, he would do what Jiang Feng said, and he would not do it if Jiang Feng didn't say anything.

After thinking about it for about five or six minutes, Jiang Feng finally made a decision.

He wants to make phoenix eggs.

In terms of difficulty, the difficulty of phoenix eggs is much higher than that of rock sugar bird's nest, and the requirements for the chef's cooking and other aspects are very high. In terms of rarity, this is definitely a rare dish that is as good as the chefs of major restaurants. There are basically no Chinese restaurants on the market that sell this dish, because it is too troublesome and not profitable. If it is made, it will definitely make Si Wei Ping's eyes brightened.

Jiang Feng had learned from Peng Changping before, and also watched Jiang Chengde cook it in his memory. He knew that the biggest difficulty of this dish was turning the spoon.

Some time ago, he happened to practice hard on the Jiang family's unique skill, the Great Turning Spoon, and made a big breakthrough.

The skillful flipping spoon will definitely make the phoenix egg icing on the cake and amaze the audience.

In the game, besides the taste, the most important thing is the effect. A good-looking, fresh and delicious dish that everyone has never seen before, but it is more attractive and has many advantages than a good-looking and delicious dish that everyone has seen and heard.

"Qiqi, let's make phoenix eggs." Jiang Feng decided.

"Okay." Wu Minqi nodded, "Tell me what ingredients you need, and we'll pick them separately."

"Um." Jiang Feng was silent.

Phoenix eggs are good for everything, but they come out too fast.

Even if it starts from the preparation of raw materials, it can be finished in two hours at a slower speed.

The game time is a full 6 hours.

"Let's wait and see what other people cook." Jiang Feng said, looking around, and found that there were actually 4 chairs stuffed under the cooking table.

During the rehearsal before, why didn't he notice that there were chairs under the cooking art? Could it be that the program team was afraid that everyone would be tired from cooking for too long, so they thoughtfully prepared chairs for everyone to rest?

No matter why the program group prepared chairs, it was a good thing to have them. Jiang Feng silently pulled out two chairs, and he handed Wu Minqi one and motioned Wu Minqi to sit down for a while.

"The phoenix eggs can be finished in at most two hours, and they have to be eaten while they are hot. Let's wait until 3 o'clock to get the vegetables, and they will be out of the pot by then." Jiang Feng explained.

Wu Minqi expressed her understanding and sat down.

Jiang Feng also sat down on his ass, and leisurely watched the other contestants choose dishes in the ingredients area, some even sweating profusely.

The photography teacher who saw this scene:?

What's the latest tactic?

This year's contestants are really incomprehensible.
