336. Bow with left and right, double pot with one hand
Time passed by minute by second, and seeing that there were only 5 minutes left, the onlookers who had become quiet began to whisper again.
Because Li Xiao still had pork and beef to cook at this time, if they were cooked separately, it would obviously not be enough time.
But looking at his ingredients, everyone knows that it should be fried pork slices with celery and fried beef with broccoli.
There is no way to cook such dishes together. Many people are secretly happy, knowing that if they fail to complete the designated items, a large amount of points will be deducted.
Then all the extra points Li Xiao gained from killing the cow will most likely be deducted.
It is also because of the frequent lack of time that no candidates are willing to kill pigs and cows in many recent exams.
Because it is such a waste of time. If there is such a waste of time, it is better to do the basic questions well.
However, just when everyone was whispering and laughing that Li Xiao might be too late to complete this round of exams.
Li Xiao turned the gas switch on the stove with both hands at the same time, and the electronic lighter made a clicking sound.
Blue current pulsed on the electronic lighter, the stoves on both sides were turned on at the same time, and the whirring fan attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone was a little confused and didn't quite understand why Li Xiao turned on two stoves at the same time.
But they understood the next second and saw Li Xiao adding oil to the pot respectively.
Then, he picked up the ginger, onion, and garlic with his left and right hands at the same time and threw them into the oil pan.
Now everyone realized what this guy was going to do.
The people around him suddenly exploded.
"What are you doing? Is it funny? Frying two dishes at the same time?"
"Actually, cooking at the same time is very simple, but the heat and taste are a little different."
"It's fast enough, but I don't know what will happen."
"You're so arrogant. You actually cooked like this in the exam. I guess the judges will give you a low score, right?"
"It's grandstanding, it's really grandstanding. I don't think this person is here to take the exam at all, but is using the gimmick of the exam to start a live broadcast."
"Such a bad candidates' association should permanently blacklist his quota."
However, everyone shut up the next second.
Seeing that the ginger, onion, and garlic began to change color, Li Xiao first poured the pork and beef into the pot.
At the same time, Li Xiao held a spoon in one hand and a spatula in the other hand, and stir-fried the pork and beef in the pot at the same time.
Everyone gulped as they watched the stove with the heat turned to the maximum and Li Xiao's continuous stir-frying action.
In the perception of many chefs, cooking at the same time is just a gimmick.
In fact, there are many limitations to cooking at the same time.
The pots cannot be cooked at the same time, and the heat will be two or three degrees lower than usual.
You can't put them in the pot at the same time because you need to control the time gap between stir-frying.
The firepower is lower than usual because I am afraid that I will not be able to stir fry in time and cause the bottom to burn.
But doing this actually has a great impact on the taste of the dishes.
Many times, with the same ingredients and the same method, some chefs make it more delicious, while others make it less delicious. The reason is just the difference in heat.
However, Li Xiao did put down the ingredients and the main ingredients at the same time, and fired from left to right, which completely subverted their inherent cognition.
Moreover, when Li Xiao opened his bow left and right, his speed was not stagnant and smooth at all, just like he usually cooks like this.
The aroma of pork and beef began to spread, and Li Xiao poured celery and broccoli on both sides.
Continuously stir-fry, and even use both hands to stir the pot at the same time.
Now everyone was really convinced. Although the 5-6 pound iron pot is not very heavy.
But to do it with both hands at the same time, and to do it so smoothly, the onlookers, the chefs, thought that it was impossible for them to do it.
Humans are such a strange animal. If the gap between the two is very small, the backward person will become jealous of the person who is stronger than him.
But if the gap between the two is widened, then the backward people will not be jealous, but will feel admiration.
In the live broadcast room.
"I'll go and I'll be tricked by the anchor again!"
"It really makes me laugh. Have you seen the changes in the expressions of the chefs around you?"
"Then you must pay attention! Just now, everyone looked disdainful, but now everyone is dumbfounded."
"But the anchor's hands are so cool. Such a big iron pot can actually become so smooth. How terrifying is this arm strength?"
"Have you forgotten upstairs? The anchor is also an athlete of the national team. With his physical fitness, let alone two iron pots, he can easily hold four iron pots at the same time."
"The anchor is cheating, a technical crushing!"
"I have long said that the level of the anchor is definitely more than one star, because my dad is a two-star chef, and I feel that the anchor is much better than my dad."
"Indeed, I also feel that the anchor has opened a new account this time and went to the Novice Village to abuse people."
"It's not that bad, it's too exaggerated."
"Why not? Haven't you noticed? Many people's test scores in the fourth round are not as good as the anchor's test scores in the third round."
"Hey, it's really..."
While everyone was talking, Li Xiao had already put out the seasonings.
Pour a thin layer of gravy down, and quickly stir the pot with your left and right hands at the same time, so that the gravy is evenly distributed on the ingredients.
The blower makes the fireworks fly very high, and all the ingredients are thrown high and caught firmly.
Li Xiao looked at the time and weighed the pot. When there were only 15 seconds left, he turned off the stove at the same time.
He did not use a spatula to remove the ingredients from the pot, but relied directly on the skill of shaking the pot.
Quickly throw the ingredients in the pot aside and place them on a clean plate that was already prepared.
Seeing this scene, the candidates who were watching in silence were completely convinced.
Warm applause immediately broke out around him.
Li Xiao was startled by the sudden applause and almost forgot to press the finish button.
Fortunately, the host on the rostrum gave a timely reminder:
"There are still 10 seconds until the end of this round of exams. Candidates please pay attention to the time."
He quickly came to his senses and pressed the red button on the workbench.
As soon as a beep sounded, the 10-member judging panel who had been watching came up immediately.
Look at the five dishes that are full of color, aroma and taste.
The 10-member judging panel nodded with satisfaction. After all, they knew how short the time Li Xiao spent.
Being able to make such a dish in such a short period of time is really amazing.
Originally, the judging panel had discussed privately just now and decided that as long as the taste of the food made by candidate No. 26 is not very bad, it will definitely give a high score.
After all, Li Xiao is the first and only person to get full marks on the additional questions over the years.
They feel that a little bias is very reasonable, and this will also allow more candidates to enrich their professional skills.
But few of them expected that Li Xiao could actually make such a good product in such a short period of time. You must know that this is just a one-star chef competition.
Since there was no hesitation, I started using my chopsticks immediately. In fact, the faster you finish the chef exam, the more advantage you will have.
Because the closer you taste it, the more sensitive and relaxed the judges’ tongue senses will be.
The judges' tongues will become numb the further they go, and they will become more impatient when eating.
Li Xiao was the last one to finish the dishes, so it was logically the most disadvantageous for him.
If a dish is completed first, the judges may give it 90 points.
But for the same dish, if it were the last one tasted, it might only get 70 or 80 points.
The judges all used their chopsticks to pick up the dish closest to them, put the food into their mouths, and their eyes widened.
If you are disappointed, it is because your expectations were too high and you got too little.
Then the surprise must come from expecting too little and getting too much.
The judges excitedly swallowed the food in their mouths, and moved their chopsticks to other dishes without stopping.
By the time they had tried all the dishes, their faces were filled with shock.
As judges, they know very well how ordinary the ingredients provided by the association are.
Even if they don't understand it at first, after trying so many candidates.
They will also know very clearly that these chickens, ducks and fish are all the most common ones on the market.
As three-star chefs, they really look down upon this kind of ingredient.
In addition, many candidates do not pay attention to the production, resulting in poor results in the finished product.
After all, the main content of this round of exams is the processing and marinating of ingredients. After all, in the eyes of experienced candidates, taste is only an insignificant part of it.
The final result is that candidates do not pay enough attention and the judges do not have enough expectations.
However, in this year's star chef examination, there was a clueless young man.
He had no experience in taking exams, and he had no so-called senior friends to tell him which aspects were more important and which things could be ignored.
And he originally just wanted to deal with it casually and just take the certificate test, but he became serious because he killed a cow and a pig.
After all, when he thought about it, he had put in so much, and if he didn't take it seriously, he would be really sorry for his efforts.
The final result is:
"10 points, I recommend giving the candidate on the 26th a full score of 10 points!"
“Totally agree! This is a great decision!”
“It’s really rare to create such outstanding dishes in such a short period of time.”
"I also give 10 points. Although there are still some flaws, the gap between his dishes and other candidates' dishes is really big. I feel really sorry if I don't give 10 points."
....
In the end, 10 judges gave a result of 10 points at the same time. Even if one highest score and one lowest score were removed, the result would still be a full score of 10 points.
At the same time, the score board on Li Xiao's workbench also changed, without everyone knowing why.
Li Xiao's score suddenly jumped from 28.5 points to 48.5 points.
Except for the judges, the other candidates thought they were dazzled.
More and more candidates noticed this scene, and the examination room exploded instantly. Discussions came from all over the examination room.
Some people think there is an error in the monitor.
Some people think there must be some insider trading.
.......
However, the jury seems to have expected such a situation.
The microphone on the rostrum suddenly sounded, and the harsh sound of electricity made the venue instantly quiet.
It was the host who spoke
"I think many people may be very surprised as to why the score of candidate No. 26 suddenly increased by 20 points."
"For the sake of fairness, the jury has made an accelerated video of the anatomy process of candidate No. 26, asking candidates to look at the main screen."
After the host finished speaking, the screen that had been turned off immediately lit up.
The video played on the main screen has been accelerated by 4 times, which makes Li Xiaona's seemingly flowing speed even more exaggerated, and the movements of his entire hand seem to have afterimages.
The audience in the live broadcast room finally had the opportunity to know through the accelerated video what the anchor did when the screen went black just now.
"Isn't my method of killing cattle too smooth when I go to anchor?"
"As for the souls who died under the hands of the anchor with such proficiency, there are not 10,000 but 8,000!"
"This group of candidates are laughing so hard. They still suspect that the anchor is cheating. Does this level of anchoring require cheating?"
"The anchor has gone too far. This is purely a form of abuse in the past!"
