Chapter 820 Pure Tomato Seafood Pasta

Because in the past, insects were used as punishment.

The punishment food here is Italy's unique stinky cheese.

Speaking of which, Chen Nian had used similar cheese when competing with his father before, and it smelled terrible!

And eating bugs, they are completely two different feelings.

But it's quite uncomfortable anyway.

In order not to lose the game, they immediately came to the kitchen and started preparing after the host announced the start of the game.

Moreover, having learned from the previous experience of not being able to turn on the stove when they were in Yunnan, they did not start preparing ingredients immediately when they arrived in the kitchen this time, but divided their work to check the stove and kitchen utensils.

Go to Chennian to see how the stoves are being used, and ask the staff how to operate them.

Mu Jie, Zhou Ji and the other three people began to prepare the tableware that would be used to hold the food. After all, the kitchen here is really small, so don't waste time if there are not enough dinner plates.

And it's okay to just delay the time. The program team doesn't mean that they can't move at all after the time is exceeded.

But if you find that there is not enough after setting the plate, it means that the ingredients in the front have to be picked up and put on another plate again.

The bread and meat are okay, but the pasta will get cold if tossed back and forth, and the sauce will fall off.

In this way, they asked the staff here to find enough dinner plates, and they began to divide the work and process the ingredients.

Chen Nian is also completely familiar with the use of various stoves in Western-style kitchens.

In the first round, Mujie plans to cook a black pepper turbot and a tomato seafood pasta.

Both of these dishes are Western recipes.

And according to the division of labor that had been agreed upon before, Chen Nian was mainly responsible for the pasta, while they handled the turbot here.

Just after the Chinese chef started processing the ingredients, Abraham discovered a new problem, because after cutting the chicken open, he found that the chicken actually stinked.

So, he immediately called the staff here and asked him to smell it angrily.

"We can provide you with some fresh chicken, but it will have to wait for about half an hour." Abraham heard that he had to wait for half an hour!

You know, it only takes two hours to cook.

But now there was no other way, he could only agree.

It's just that I don't feel happy in my heart.

When Chen Nian heard this, he knew that the program team was making trouble again. It was on his side before, but now it was on Abraham's side.

Otherwise, normally, it would be impossible for a five-star chain hotel to serve stale meat, and it is a large amount of ingredients such as chicken.

The operating space in the kitchen is relatively small, and the places where ingredients are processed are close to each other, so Sapa was peeling bamboo shoots there while complaining about Chen Nian. This program group is not regular.

"It's good to understand. We also had situations where the stove couldn't be used before, which made our Chef Mu very anxious." Chen Nian smiled and comforted, "And fortunately this is the first round, and the cooking is not that bad."

It’s complicated, otherwise if it’s the last two rounds, it would be really troublesome.”

"Yeah, originally I thought you were quite bad, always making things difficult for us when choosing ingredients, but now it seems that the program team is really bad, deliberately setting up various obstacles for us." Sapa nodded in agreement.

"Sapa, you are not much better. You actually left the preserved eggs to us before."

While they were chatting, the photographer was very smart and turned the camera to other places.

Since there was indeed plenty of time in the first round, they were not too nervous in preparation and had enough time to control the heat and seasoning.

After roughly cleaning the turbot, Mu Jie was about to start processing it when Zhou Ji came to him and volunteered to take over the job, leaving Mu Jie to prepare other things.

After all, Mu Jie is the chef in this competition, so there is no need to spend too much time on these chores. Just leave the food preparation work to others.

"By the way, Master Zhou, remember to remove the spines from the turbot later. They don't like fish with spines very much. Otherwise, even if we make it and the taste will satisfy them, the dining experience will be greatly compromised."

"Okay, if you hadn't told me, I probably wouldn't have removed this thorn. After all, there aren't many thorns in it. They can be removed with just one sip. Needless to say, these foreigners are quite delicate." Zhou Ji said with a smile.

.

But after saying that, he still looked at the host again: "Beibei, remember to cut out my part when the time comes, otherwise it will affect the friendship between the two countries after it is broadcast."

"No problem, I'll tell the director for you later."

After Zhou Ji had finished processing the turbot, he cut it into large pieces and put it in a basin, then started to add various seasonings for marinating.

When it's time to make it, divide it into small pieces and put it on the plate.

Aging is done on the other side in preparation for pasta.

The noodles need to be cooked in advance and the sauce needs to be made in advance.

For the black pepper turbot dish, Mu Jie's idea was to marinate the fish first, then powder it and put it in a pan to fry.

So during the pickling process, Mu Jie personally prepared a black pepper sauce that combined Chinese and Western ingredients.

But after making the adjustment, he felt a little uneasy. After all, he had used black pepper sauce with steak before, but this was the first time he used it with fish, and even the black pepper steak was only made for Chinese people.

, so he has some tastes that are unclear to foreigners.

So I asked Chen Lao, who knows Italian taste better, to taste it.

But Chen Nian did not immediately give an answer after tasting it. Instead, he dipped some more black pepper juice and tasted it carefully: "Master Mu, I feel that the taste of this black pepper juice is a bit too strong. Maybe

We prefer to eat things with richer flavors, but for most Italians, they still prefer a purer taste.

Our complex flavor may be a bit overwhelming here. I think this black pepper juice should highlight the taste of black pepper more. Even if the black pepper flavor is stronger and spicier, it will be fine, but other seasonings are not suitable.

too much."

Mu Jie didn't sound suspicious of Chen Nian's nonsense, and he really didn't know much about the eating habits here, so all he could ask was Chen Nian.

"Okay, are you done with your work there? If it doesn't work, you can adjust one. We still have materials here anyway, but what I want to see is to see if we can adjust him to have our Chinese style, and for foreigners.

Do you also like the black pepper juice?”

"Okay." Chen Nian nodded.

Soon, Chen Nian temporarily handed over the task of making pasta sauce to Yao Guangbin.

But in fact, you don’t need to do anything, just keep stirring.

And he went to Mu Jie to make a new black pepper juice.

Mu Jie nodded after tasting it: "The taste is okay, but I still think the compound flavor I made before is better."

Zhou Ji said from the side: "That's the difference in taste between Chinese and foreigners."

Chen Nian is also worried about Mu Jie's overthinking. After all, everyone has different views on the two seasonings now, and this thing is a one-time transaction. After it is handed out, the customer will not have the opportunity to make it again after rating it.

It might be okay if you get a high score, but if you get a low score, you will have to take the blame, which will affect everyone's cooperation later.

So Chen Nian thought for a while and invited Abraham over directly.

"Mr. Abraham, I would like to ask you to help me taste which of these two black pepper juices is better."

Mu Jie and others didn't have any objections to Chen Nian's move. On the contrary, they thought it was quite funny and asked their competitors to come over and help them taste it. This was also their first time doing this.

However, when they were in China before, they also helped Abraham and gave him rice noodles, so they felt that Abraham people are quite nice and take food very seriously. Maybe the only difference we have is in the way of making food.

But when it comes to local Italian tastes, Mujie also feels that Abraham will be more authoritative.

And Abraham was also amused by Chen Nian: "Mr. Chen, aren't you afraid that I will deliberately describe something that is not delicious as delicious?"

"No, Mr. Abraham, I think that although it is a competition between us, it is also an exchange. This is just an exchange between friends, isn't it?"

Abraham smiled and nodded.

Tried these two black pepper juices.

Finally, he pointed to the one made after aging: "I think this one is better and more in line with our Italian taste. Although it is still a little different from our pure black pepper juice, I think this change is still very good."

Creative, judging from my many years of experience as a chef, customers should like this taste very much, but there is only so much I can tell you, and I can't tell you what you need to do next."

Mujie couldn't understand Italian, but he could tell which one the other person was referring to.

"It's okay, thank you very much." Chen Nian smiled and expressed his gratitude to the other party.

The reason why I called the other party over this time was just to reassure Mu Jie, otherwise Chen Nian would have just used what he made.

After Abraham left, Chen Nian translated what Abraham just said to everyone, and Mu Jie also said cheerfully: "This Abraham is indeed very polite and a very nice person."

"Yeah, if it weren't for the competition, I guess he would just do it for us." Zhou Ji also nodded.

After listening to these words, the atmosphere on the Chinese team became relaxed again.

The photographers were amazed. This was the first time they had seen such a harmonious atmosphere in a competition between Chinese and foreign teams.

In the past, during filming, both parties wanted to fight.

It often happens that the tableware I took out is placed on the table for later use, and then you take it away when I turn around.

Or there are only two ovens in the kitchen, and I insist on using both, and I won't let you use them when you use them.

All in all, it was full of excitement, and this time it was as if everyone was friends with each other.
