After getting the kitchen utensils and condiments, everyone writes down the ingredients they want to use on a piece of paper and waits for the waiter to come and pick them up before delivering the ingredients to you.

In fact, at this stage, the assessment has already begun.

Because now the process is similar to that of you, as a chef, ordering apprentices and helpers.

When we first entered, everyone read the notice, which said that ingredients cannot be used.

So now you must clearly write down how much you want on the note, otherwise you will be deducted points for wasting. If there is not enough or too much, it will affect the appearance of the dishes and the presentation will not look good.

In this way, it's best to get what you want down to the tiniest bit.

The guys who come to prepare the ingredients for everyone are all carefully selected by the organizer. Even if you write down how many noodles you want, he can give you an estimate.

Ten minutes later, everyone got everything they chose.

Gu Jinyao ordered a small bowl of cold noodles that had been soaked in water, and a red sour radish the size of a baby's fist.

She plans to make cold noodles, suitable for eating in the morning.

As soon as the bell on the stage rang, the people below moved in response.

Everyone was immersed in handling the ingredients, and apart from the brisk rhythm of chopping vegetables, there was no noise in the entire venue.

When the countdown started, Gu Jinyao did not move in a hurry, but used chopsticks to try all the sauces he had.

Every time she tries something, she changes her chopsticks to prevent the ingredients and condiments from smelling like each other.

Although the impact was minimal, it was certainly felt by today's judges.

The condiments brought to the market today are all used by the kitchen of Nanhu Hotel, and the ingredients prepared are also freshly prepared by them.

These things alone actually taste very good.

Gu Jinyao had to admit that their level was extremely high.

Even the waiters and apprentices have such a level, but those cooks are extraordinary, maybe even better than her.

When Gu Jinyao started teaching, Guo Kun said:

For craft work, I just lead you in, and the rest of the practice is all up to you.

If you are not a genius in this area, if you want to practice well, you must rely on accumulated experience and your own understanding.

At that time, Gu Jinyao could understand what his master meant by these words, but he did not feel it.

Now, she felt it firsthand.

Gu Jinyao was thankful that she had used her full strength from the beginning, otherwise it was hard to say whether she would have gone on to win the first game.

A bowl of peanut sauce noodles with spicy pickled radish.

Gu Jinyao made a circle of mixed noodles and placed it on two-thirds of the plate. Cut the radish diagonally. Make fifteen fan-shaped slices of about the same size and arrange them into a semicircle wreath shape. Five small corner pieces of different sizes are mixed in.

Chili noodles and sesame oil are piled behind the garland.

Gu Jinyao's cold noodles took less than five minutes in total.

When the things were ready, she didn't wait and immediately raised her hand.

Obviously, she was the first candidate to "hand in the paper".

Du Lianggong, who was at the judging table, saw that the first person to raise his hand was a female chef, and she was a very young female chef, so he asked someone to bring Gu Jinyao's noodles over.

As soon as Gu Jinyao raised her hand, someone came to pick up her meal. There were seven people at the judging table, so she was inevitably a little nervous to be sent to Du Lianggong.

Gu Jinyao's bowl of cold noodles has nothing outstanding except for the presentation.

The ingredients are ordinary and the method is simple and quick.

If Nanhu Hotel serves breakfast and guests come over and order cold noodles, it will be almost the same.

But for breakfast, this is enough.

Du Lianggong first tasted a piece of radish wedge mixed with two or three drops of sesame oil and chili powder, and nodded secretly, as if it came from their place.

Pickled radish is appetizing. After eating one piece, you will subconsciously want to take a bite of the staple food.

So Du Lianggong also ate noodles.

Then I put a check mark at position 26 on the form.

When the others saw that Chef Du had passed this test, they stopped trying and checked the boxes one after another.

When you come to be a judge, several of you haven't had breakfast. Your stomachs are growling with hunger at this time, but you can't just eat anything because there are still dozens of plates waiting for you.

So as long as someone takes the initiative to mark a check, it will be considered passed. Only those who are unsure and want others to try and express their opinions will have two or more judges test the dishes.

Gu Jinyao stood below, completely unaware that he had passed.

She was a little uneasy when she saw that Du Lianggong had put her face aside after trying it.

What does this mean? Is it passed or not?

After Gu Jinyao's stuff came on stage, many people started to raise their hands.

The second thing that was put on the table was a cold dish of three shredded vegetables.

Due to the limitation of ingredients, the chef used shredded carrots, cucumbers, and blanched kelp.

This is also a home-cooked dish that can be seen everywhere, but when the dish was presented in front of everyone, everyone was surprised.

This man's knife skills are outstanding.

The three ingredients with different softness and hardness are surprisingly similar in length and thickness, as if they were drawn with a ruler.

From a distance, there seems to be no difference except for the color.

And this man's movements were very fast.

All three dishes needed to be cut, but he was ranked second.

You must know that the first person to raise his hand only cut a few slices of radish and mixed the noodles. This speed is normal.

And now this cold salad is as fast as lightning.

Because not only did he show off his superb sword skills, he also set up a very delicate plate.

Use the head and tail of the cucumber and the remaining corners of the carrot to make two light green and red plum blossoms.

The level was immediately raised, and the home-cooked dishes were made to a level that no one can afford.

The level is too high.

Some of the chefs who had finished cooking even applauded unconsciously.

In the front, several judges also had expressions of amazement on their faces. It was obvious that no matter from a distance or close up, they could see that this person's swordsmanship was first-rate, and even surpassed theirs.

Du Lianggong glanced at the flawless plate of mixed Sansi in front of him, then looked at the proud Jiao Shutian not far away, and frowned secretly.

After so many years, my junior brother is still the same as before.

High-profile, arrogant and very aggressive.

Du Lianggong did not try the dish, but directly passed it.

Seeing this, the other judges all ticked the boxes. In fact, they all wanted to try it, but...

Forget it, President Du is obviously not very happy, so they should stop frowning.

There is a kicker in this assessment, and everyone knows about it.

The whole process of tasting the dishes lasted about half an hour, after which half of the people stayed and the rest had to go back the way they came.

Someone wrote the number that passed the first assessment on the small blackboard on the left side in front.

Gu Jinyao took a look and saw that there were his and Guo Baogen's numbers.

They both passed the first game.

As expected.
Chapter completed!
