Chapter 280 Cafeteria Banquet
Although the judges of the audition are not as professional as the judges of the Huaiyang Cuisine Competition, they are all well-known gourmets in the Jiangnan area. They have been to Jianghuai people's houses many times, and they all know Peng Lidong's name.
"He was using a left-right bow just now, right? I wonder how good his skills are?"
One of the judges picked up the long silver fish, looked at it for a few seconds, and put it into his mouth. After a while, he nodded with satisfaction: "The knife skills are very good. They are much better than before. It is not easy to control the heat like this by opening the bow from left to right."
Another person was still a little disappointed after tasting the red crispy eel: "What a coincidence, the frying and juice collection time is too long, and the steaming time is too short. The taste is not as good as before, but steaming originally took an hour, and now
It’s not easy to compress time and do this.”
"You are just too picky. Just now the roast duck was like this, the tofu was like this, and now the eel is still like this. Can't you consider the objective situation? What can you do better than them?"
"I am a judge, not a chef. To be honest, the quality of the dishes is indeed not as good as the performance in the store. If it were not based on the actual situation, I would have given it a 7 points."
"you……"
Seeing that the judges were about to start arguing, the staff quickly handed out the scoring sheets: "Teacher Xu, Teacher Wang, why don't you give the scores first? The contestants are all impatiently waiting."
The two looked at each other and snorted at the same time.
The staff wiped away a cold sweat when they saw that the quarrel finally stopped.
One of these two people is Xu De, a gourmet gourmet, and the other is senior chef Wang Bo. They have publicly quarreled with each other before because of their inconsistent ideas. God knows how they can be put in the same arena at the same time.
"Baby feels aggrieved, but can't say..."
"It's miserable!"
The interlude between the judges only lasted a moment, and what He said was more concerned about was Changyu Yan's score.
After all, Jianghuai people's development in Xiancheng is not a long-term plan. Taking this opportunity to become the gourmet representative of Jinling City's business card is their goal.
In He Zhuo's view, the whole duck banquet at Jingling Hotel is somewhat similar to the whole duck banquet at the Imperial Capital, and they are more like off-the-shelf products.
Although the name of the Han Banquet at Hanfu Restaurant sounds orthodox, the selection of ingredients does not have any local characteristics, and it would be applicable to another city.
Only the Long Fish Banquet uses ingredients that are very common in the land of plenty. It has a complete range of methods including braised, boiled, fried, stir-fried and stewed. It not only reflects the light side of Huaiyang cuisine, but also has the grandeur and dignity required for banquet dishes. It would be a pity not to make it a city business card.
But the idea is very good, and the explanation is also very good, but if you don't even pass the audition, it will be a bit embarrassing.
"Elder brother, why doesn't Master come?" The second chef who was making ginger eel looked at Peng Lidong with some confusion.
The rule is that technicians in each store who are over 60 years old cannot attend, but He Jianmin obviously meets the age and does not attend.
"Do you think any of those big hotels have sent out chefs or head chefs?" Peng Lidong said calmly.
"Even the Jingling Hotel just asked Ma Jiang to come over. It's obvious that everyone regarded this as a practice opportunity."
"What about the city's business card food representative?" He Zuo said anxiously: "Don't you think this is very important?"
Peng Lidong lowered his head and smiled and shook his head: "It is very important, but what does it have to do with us? Will it affect the business of our Jingling store if it cannot become the city's business card?"
What do you mean:!!!
After listening to Peng Lidong's words, he suddenly realized that he had never thought about this.
I only thought that business would be poor because the Jingling Hotel was too popular, but I did not consider other reasons.
"Master said that they will probably all move here after a while. We will stay here after the game to renovate the store. If necessary, we can find a new place." Peng Lidong relayed to He Zhuo what He Jianmin told him before setting off.
What does it mean:...
Why didn't his father tell him these things?
"Then... what should we do next?" He Zhizhi said hesitantly.
"Waiting for the scores to come out, we will see whether we need to decorate or prepare for the next selection." Peng Lidong looked at the judges' seat. The scores should be out soon.
Sure enough, within a minute, the staff announced that the final score of Changyuyan was 9.6 points. It was currently ranked third.
Peng Lidong breathed a sigh of relief, finally not embarrassed.
Although He Jianmin said he didn't care about results, as a well-known Changyu restaurant in the entire Jinling City, it would be too disappointing if its signature dish couldn't even pass the audition.
At the end of the scene, Su Zifang nodded to He Zhuang and Peng Lidong: "Congratulations!"
Seeing that his team was about to pass the audition, He Zhizhi no longer felt the hostility he had before, and introduced his two senior brothers to Su Zifang.
"Peng Lidong, my senior brother."
"Guo Lu, my second senior brother."
Su Zifang also introduced himself.
Peng Lidong and Guo Lu nodded and smiled as a greeting.
"I originally wanted to invite you to the store to have a look, but I have something else to do tonight, so I can only wait until the next game to invite you." Su Zifang did not forget that he was going to pick up Shen Anyan, so he added He WeChat
Then he apologized.
"We will be stationed in Jingling from now on. We can do it some other time." Peng Lidong replied for He So-called.
"That's good!" The two teams left the playing field together.
"Hey, Dad, why are you here?"
As soon as he went out, Zhao Xiaoman suddenly ran to the side and patted the shoulder of the person next to him.
Su Zifang glanced along his line of sight and was stunned.
It's actually Zhao Xi?
There were two slightly older chefs beside him. They were all dressed in chef uniforms as white as snow, but they didn't wear hats, showing their slight baldness.
"Uncle, will you be the judge?" Su Zifang saw the three of them wearing chef uniforms and subconsciously thought of this.
"Aren't there judges inside?" Mu Fei was a little surprised.
"Maybe I'm full?" Su Zifang recalled the whole duck feast, tofu feast, and long fish feast and admired the judges. After eating so many tables, it was difficult for their stomachs.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xi shook his head slightly and the two people around him smiled in confusion: "We are here to compete!"
"Participate! Contest!"
These two words echoed in the ears of everyone in Shibuyu for a long time.
"Dad, are you serious?"
Zhao Xiaoman was the first to react and spoke in shock.
"Yeah, you didn't always think I was joking, right? I signed up the day Xiao Su came to learn ginseng chicken."
Su Zifang:???
Seeing several pairs of eyes turning towards him again, Su Zifang was dumbfounded and defended: "What does this have to do with me? I don't know anything!"
However, names have been registered and people have come. It is not an illegal activity, and Zhao Xiaoman has no reason to stop Zhao Xi from participating.
But she was still very curious: "Dad, what are you cooking for the competition?"
"It's a dining hall feast!"
This is not because the school leaders came to talk to us, saying that as a well-known school in the country, Jinling University has honors in other places, but only the cafeteria does not. Let the three of us work hard to see if we can get a good ranking with the cafeteria banquet.
His words were so affectionate and so conclusive that Su Zifang almost thought that his uncle was telling the truth.
