Su Zifang trusted Ma Jiang's judgment.

The first dish should resemble each chef's best, and every subsequent dish should be compared to this dish.

If the level is within the normal fluctuation range, it can be considered stable.

On the contrary, the chef's strength fluctuates more obviously.

This method is a relatively safe way to select chefs for the competition, as their abilities will not be too biased.

This is also the experience of Ren Jiahua and others for many years.

"How many high-scoring players do you think there will be this year?"

At the judges' table, Ren Jiahua, Zhou Anyian and several other members of the business team from previous years looked at the chefs who were entering their seats one after another and asked.

"Ten?"

The speaker was Ouyang Tian, ​​the deputy leader of the conference affairs team: "There were seven high-scoring contestants in the first round of the previous session. The contestants in this session performed well. There should be at least ten, right?"

Ren Jiahua took a look and nodded.

"almost."

"I didn't expect that you, an old guy, usually don't do anything, but only pay attention to me secretly!"

"You will handle the matters that need to be dealt with. I am just an idle member of the Chef Association. I will just take care of grade examinations and so on. Speaking of which... there are a few young people who seem to be able to break the rules and become technicians. Why haven't I seen you submit your applications?"

Ren Jiahua smiled lightly and took a sip of tea: "I will tell him when this time is over. There has been a notice."

"That's fine."

Ouyang Tian knew that this matter was settled and did not ask further questions. He took a sip of tea and looked at the audience: "I am somewhat looking forward to what Su Zifang will cook."

“Wensi tofu or Longjing shrimp?”

"I have heard about these two dishes for a long time, but unfortunately I have never tried them once. I can't miss them this time."

Zhou Anyian glanced at Ouyang Tian and responded with a smile: "It's quite possible. This is his best dish, especially the Longjing shrimp, which is amazing."

Ren Jiahua raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them, shaking his head slightly: "That boy's character may not be like this."

"oh?"

Ouyang Tian looked at Ren Jiahua with some confusion, not knowing what he meant.

"This selection process itself is a comprehensive evaluation. It is estimated that many people are starting to calculate how to maximize their scores and benefits, and are considering whether to retain their strength."

"In this case, if the first dish is too good, the scores for the subsequent dishes will be correspondingly low."

"But if the gap between the benchmark score and subsequent performance is too large, the coefficient will decrease, so it is a very brain-burning thing."

"There are only two kinds of people who are unaffected."

"Which two types?" Ouyang Tian was somewhat curious.

"The extremely smart and the extremely stupid."

"The former can calculate the strength that they should show based on their strength, and then control their scores based on this strength to pave the way for subsequent growth."

"The latter is to directly use force to defeat the law, and use the best cooking skills to continue recklessly, causing a bloody head or direct recklessness to pass the test."

"Then what kind of person do you think Su Zifang belongs to?"

"To be honest, I can't tell." Ren Jiahua shook his head slightly, with a rare smile in his eyes.

"His strength should be a well-deserved number one. Even if there are young chefs all over the country here, they can't stop his sharpness."

Ren Jiahua made no secret of his praise for Su Zifang.

"However, he also has a problem."

"Too unfocused."

This time it was Zhou Anyian who opened his mouth to add.

“Obviously focusing on one cuisine can quickly lead you to the top, but if you don’t study other cuisines or study classic dishes, you don’t know what you are doing.”

"If I hadn't had talent and hard work, I might have grown crooked."

Zhou Anyian had a bit of regret in his eyes.

"That's not the case. Mr. Xue is still very capable. Xiao Su should get better gradually."

"Maybe..."

Ren Jiahua and Zhou Anyian nodded and did not continue.

"Then what do you think he will cook today?"

"It's hard to say."

When it comes to this question, the two of them really don't know what to say. After all, Su Zifang is different from ordinary chefs? He knows too many dishes...

Although the signature dishes are Longjing Shrimp and Wensi Tofu? But they wouldn't be surprised if they try out another dish.

Just like the last time I was in Shanghai.

A Huaiyang cuisine chef actually made an authentic pot of hot pot mutton? Who can I ask to explain this?

And the golden-edged cabbage... is also pretty good.

I can actually learn all four skills of flower fighting. I don’t know where I found the inheritance.

With a sigh, everyone looked at the chefs in the audience who had begun to prepare the dishes.

Su Zifang actually chose...Lily?

Looking at the white and tender petals on his hand, everyone was instantly confused. They never expected that Su Zifang's best dish was actually a lily dish.

Lily is considered a traditional food ingredient. Because its shape is more beautiful, both fresh and dried products are used in cooking.

The most common methods are stewing soup, making porridge and stir-frying? But I have never seen any dishes made with lily alone.

"Don't guess, it's dessert!"

Ren Jiahua looked at the condiments that Su Zi put out and suddenly realized what he was going to do.

Lily dessert?

Ouyang Tian looked at Ren Jiahua and didn't quite understand how Lily made desserts.

"You'll know it just by looking at it."

Ren Jiahua didn't explain either? Looking at Su Zifang's movements, he smiled a little.

This Su Zifang is really good at causing trouble.

That’s fine.

It's time to take a look at his dessert skills. Anyway, there will be desserts in the competition. Originally, this was a joint event between Red Case and White Case.

Ao Zuo cannot participate due to physical reasons, so now there is only Xie Guang as the chef of the white case? What if Su Zifang's red case can do it? Just let the two of them compete together.

Su Zifang peeled off the lily and washed it carefully.

To him? This is a new dish, but also an extremely familiar one.

When they were at home, Su Lianzheng and Chen Chuyi often left the shop without going home, leaving Su Zi to do her homework at a neighbor's house.

The neighbor's aunt grew lilies, so Su Zifang had the impression that her aunt's house had lilies to eat every day.

Especially after October, when fresh lilies are on the market, they will also make a special dessert made from whole lilies.

Roasted lilies.

At that time, ovens were rare, and they were baked slowly over a fire. The temperature was difficult to control, and it would burn if you were not careful. However, under the control of the neighbor's aunt, it rarely turned black.

Basically they all have a layer of gold rim.

Su Zifang especially liked this dessert when she was a child, but later she moved and never had the chance to eat it again.

Jingling rarely makes lily dishes and has no chance to do so. He just saw fresh lilies on the food shelf and suddenly wanted to eat them, so he brought them over.

As for whether it tastes good or not... Su Zifang didn't think about it.

No matter how bad it is, can it still be worse than the golden-edged cabbage I made for the first time?

With this idea in mind, Su Zifang started making this dish without any psychological burden, which was another achievement.

Finally, he fished out the [Shou Delu] that he had almost forgotten in the corner. When making new dishes, there is a 30% chance of reaching A level or above.

Under the probability bonus, there is a 60% probability of reaching S level and above achievements. If successful, it is worth looking forward to.

The lily Su Zifang chose is a variety produced in Long Province. It is large, strong, delicate in texture, slightly pink in taste, but very sweet.

It's the kind he used to eat back then, and it looks particularly friendly.

It's just that if we follow the way it was done back then, this roasted lily dish would be too simple, and it might be as tricky as the pot-roasted mutton.

Su Zifang decided to try a different approach.

Dragon Lily?

A high-end cooking method with a very high-end name suddenly flashed in my mind.
To be continued...
