Chapter 602: First, well deserved!

Soon as the first contestant finished, more contestants began to complete the competition's events one after another.

Chen Nian was sitting at the judging table, looking at the various Yangzhou fried rice, some of which could no longer be described as Yangzhou fried rice.

Now Chen Nian finally understands that some programs will encounter all kinds of weird contestants during auditions. In the past, Chen Nian only watched those videos as funny videos, but now he can truly understand the thoughts of the judges.

Sometimes I really don’t know how the players’ heads grow, and how they can come up with such crazy ideas?

There are even some solutions that feel like they are no longer something that carbon-based organisms can come up with.

Of course, when Chen Nian thought about it again, there was no need to laugh at them. Wasn't this the case when he and Lao Chen had a dark cooking competition?

Thinking of this, my old thoughts couldn't help but diverge a little: "I wonder if those foreigners' eyes will light up after seeing the dark dishes I make? After all, I can invent things like canned herrings that look up at the stars."

But at this moment, the first contestant to complete the DIY Yangzhou fried rice had already brought his work to the table.

This contestant cleverly divided the ingredients into five portions in advance.

Because some people know what is good and what is bad.

Even if the taste and creativity are not that outstanding, the presentation of the dish is beautiful, which can still gain certain points.

Although it is more creative to make a portion directly and put it together, the plate of fried rice will be divided evenly into the hands of each judge. If the contestants do not divide it themselves, then when the dishes are served, the service staff

Will help to separate.

At that time, the carefully arranged dishes will definitely become messy. Even if the waiter will help arrange the dishes to a certain extent, how can the dishes made by others be more satisfying than those arranged by oneself?

The first portion of fried rice is prepared by the contestants themselves, who then hand it over to their assistants to fry, which is exactly the opposite of Xiao Huang and others.

His idea was to add more pineapples to Yangzhou fried rice and choose to fry the pineapples in it.

After frying, put the fried rice into the pineapple, using the pineapple shell as a container.

And he chose small-sized pineapples, which are the small varieties sold on the market.

Such varieties are still very rare at this time, and only international cruise ships like the Platinum Star can collect such fruits from all over the world.

A palm-sized pineapple, small and chubby, looks quite cute when placed in front of you. I reach out to lift the lid, and inside is golden fried rice. It’s pretty, and it’s considered the first one.

A good start.

Originally, Yangzhou fried rice focused on a golden color, but the first contestant added pineapple elements to it, making the color more obvious and brighter.

However, if you close the lid and look at it, the shape is really stunning, but once you open it, Chen Nian immediately deducts three points in his heart.

Although this contestant handles the ingredients himself, from washing to cutting, it has to be said that this contestant's knife skills are really poor.

Except for the rice itself, which is the same size, the other ingredients are cut into different sizes, which looks very uncomfortable.

Chen Nian didn't know if the deputy next to him had warned him, but at least the ingredients he cut out were definitely substandard.

But what is important in a meal is that it has both color and flavor. Now the color is okay and the shape is very creative. That is because of the size of the ingredients, three points were deducted for aging, so the other party got seven points in this aspect.

Next is the taste. The stir-frying was done by the assistant chef, and the assistant chef was naturally responsible for adding the seasonings. The smell alone was quite good, but it seemed that too much pineapple was added, and the taste of the pineapple itself was still very obvious.

Yes, it's a bit overpowering, so I deducted two points for aging in this aspect.

Then comes the taste.

Chen Nian picked up the spoon and took a sip. He couldn't help but look up at the deputy who was helping contestant No. 1. This person had good control over the heat and seasonings. Moreover, Chen Nian looked familiar to him, but he didn't.

Know the name.

Now Chen Nian has become familiar with him. Chen Nian only knows that he is a Southeast Asian chef, but the rest of Chen Nian is not clear.

The aroma of pineapple is unbridled in the mouth, and it is full of fruity taste. After one bite, you can tell that the pineapple even has a rich chewy texture. At the same time, the other ingredients are also processed well.

But the disadvantage is that the taste of pineapple is a bit too strong, and too much fruit is put in, which suppresses the taste of the already light Yangzhou fried rice.

After one sip, the taste of pineapple fills your mouth.

"Not bad, I can give it a seven point." The maximum that Chen Nian could accept in his heart was a seven point.

Mainly due to the inconsistent size, the fact that the pineapple slightly overshadowed the taste of the Yangzhou fried rice itself, and the fact that this was the first contestant to finish it and it tasted pretty good, Chen Nian finally got a good score of 22 points.

It is already very good that the customer can do this, and his creativity is worth twenty-two points.

Then Chen Nian wrote down the first person's score on paper. After all, there were twenty-five players. If he didn't do this, it would be bad if he accidentally messed up.

After Chen Nian had eaten it, everyone else put down their spoons and also had this pineapple Yangzhou fried rice.

As soon as the first dish was taken away, the waiter brought the second one up.

At first glance, the second Yangzhou fried rice doesn't seem to be much different from the original Yangzhou fried rice, but when it comes to aging, you can feel that there is no difference at all.

The difference is huge!

Just by smelling it, you can feel that the original Yangzhou fried rice does not taste like this...

Finally, after tasting it, Chen Nian discovered that the contestant had added chili seeds to the Yangzhou fried rice. The chef had skillfully fried the chili peppers just right, and the rich spiciness had been completely released.

So much so that Chen Nian was almost destroyed by humanity after taking this sip.

Chen Nian turned around and looked at the other judges. They were in a similar situation to his own. Then Chen Nian reluctantly wrote down twelve points on the paper. This was the last dignity that Chen Nian could leave to the other party.

In this way, the game continues.

The Yangzhou fried rice that came in last place was also served. After taking a bite, he wrote down his score on the paper.

Finally he was taken down.

All contestants have finished tasting.

It's just that the expressions on their faces are different. Contestant No. 2 looks obviously unconvinced, because from the beginning to the end when the judges were watching him, he had the coldest face and the worst performance.

In his opinion, this was not caused by himself at all. The judges were not very good and their acceptance of chili peppers was too low.

And everyone already has the top three in mind.

Finally, the staff took these lists for final sorting.

But while waiting, a song and dance performance was inserted.

It feels a bit like placing advertisements in the program.

But after just over ten minutes, everyone's rankings were sorted out.

The main thing is that after taking it away, several people will cross-calculate it there, and finally put it together to sort it out.

McGrady is also responsible for this step, so there won't be any problems.

So it didn't take long for everyone to get the list.

A total of twenty-five guests participated, but Platinum Star will not let guests participate in vain, so everyone who participates will be rewarded.

The last five will be announced by Chen, and each guest will be given a coupon to choose one of the dishes.

Guests who receive this coupon can choose a dish from the menu and eat it for free on any subsequent day.

Such rewards are not bad. Although most of the award recipients were reluctant to receive them, they were not too unenjoyable. At least they still had smiles on their faces at the moment of receiving the awards.

Then Master Fu announced the list of the 15th to 20th place, and they received any three dishes for free.

This wave of guests had the previous foreshadowing, and it was obvious that they were more receptive, and these five guests obviously knew how good they were, and in the end they all happily accepted their rewards from Master Fu.

After that, Gio will award rewards to the tenth to fifteenth place. Each of them can eat five dishes for free.

Mr. Huo then directly awarded rewards to the fourth to tenth place. Each of them who entered the top ten could get the same souvenir on the Platinum Star, which was also a brick of the best tea that was carried on board when the ship departed from China.

The value of such a tea brick is worth a large yard in this era, and they were obviously very happy after receiving it.

Rich people don't actually care about a few meals. To be honest, they don't need this little money. The main thing is that they can be different from others, which makes them feel a sense of superiority. Of course, this kind of gift is rare.

It's also pretty good.

Then it was the turn of the top three.

The rewards for the top three are announced personally by the captain. As the most powerful person on the ship, this highest honor should come from his mouth.

The faces of the last three people who waited here were not so happy.

Chen Nian was sitting on the judging panel and looked at Xiao Huang, whose face was filled with uncontrollable joy and couldn't help but smile.

And when we get here, the process is different from the previous one. The captain has to announce the ranking.

In the third year, a chef from Japan made Yangzhou fried rice into sushi. Although this combination is not difficult to make, the chef obviously knows how to cook, and the sushi he made was unexpected.

It's delicious.

Immediately second was the British guest, the British guest whom Xiao Huang helped as his deputy.

The combination made by the other party seems to be a bit fragmented. The steak on the plate is steak and the fried rice is fried rice. In fact, it is not the case. The two had a brief discussion at the beginning of cooking and they mixed some ingredients for making fried rice.

The crushed black pepper sauce is used together to make a sauce, which makes these ingredients have a certain connection, and the result is unexpectedly delicious.

Then he put them on the same plate, a bite of steak and a bite of rice. At first glance, you can't tell the connection between them, but if you taste them carefully, you can discover the mystery.

Coupled with the beautiful presentation, several judges including Chen Nian unanimously gave high marks.

As for the first place, this is an old man who looks somewhat kind.

This person is also a Chinese, and he is also one of the five guests from the third-floor cabin.
