"You are overthinking. I am just a small farmer farming." Tian Xiaohai smiled and replied to the chef: "Which child in the countryside can't cook?"
"This... knowing how to make this and making it delicious are two different things..." A look of embarrassment flashed across the head chef's face again.
"Okay, don't stop Xiao Hai." Su Nian smiled and nodded to the chef: "If you are not convinced, you can also arrange for the chef to make a dish that is the same as his. If anyone makes it better than him,
Eat, I will let anyone go to the food competition tonight."
"Mr. Su, even you think highly of him..." The chef's eyes widened in disbelief: "You have lost confidence in our cooking skills!"
"Your cooking skills are good, but compared with Xiao Hai's, I'm afraid they're still a little behind." Su Nian smiled mysteriously at the head chef: "If you don't believe it, you can arrange for someone to give it a try and let the audience give their ratings.
, let’s see who can win.”
"Mr. Su, I don't dare challenge Mr. Tian..." A look of embarrassment flashed across the chef's face. He was afraid that Tian Xiaohai's younger brother would beat him.
"Uncle, it's okay. As long as your subordinates can win over me, I will decisively arrange for you to participate in the food competition in the evening. This is also for the sake of the hotel's business!" Tian Xiaohai nodded towards the chef with encouraging eyes and said: "You
Let’s make arrangements now! We have a limited time limit of ten minutes to fry up a plate of artificial matsutake and Chinese cabbage fried rice.
Fans, whoever cooks delicious food will be arranged to participate in this food competition tonight. Once it is done, number and record the work in the kitchen, and then serve it to the judges on site to score. As for the judges, we are now
You can choose ten people at will. To the winning party, I will personally provide 50,000 yuan as a reward and give it to you in cash immediately."
"Are you telling the truth?" The head chef couldn't believe his ears. Fifty thousand yuan! That's almost half a year's salary.
"Of course it's true. It's all for the reputation of our hotel!" Tian Xiaohai happily took out 50,000 yuan from his bag and slapped it on the table: "Look, here is 50,000 yuan in cash.
If anyone can make rice noodles that taste better than mine, he or she will take it and represent the hotel in the competition."
"That's...ok! I'll do it myself!" The head chef rolled up his sleeves and replied confidently: "Mr. Tian, I've decided on this bonus."
"Don't worry, you can ask two more people to participate and choose the best! Four people, including me, will participate and stir-fry four large plates of artificial matsutake mushrooms and stir-fried rice noodles with Chinese cabbage. I think this dish will be popular, and you guys need to practice more.
, maybe it won’t be long before this dish will become an internet celebrity." Tian Xiaohai smiled and told the chef: "Go! Make arrangements now."
"Okay, you're welcome. Today I'm going to show off my skills that I've been hiding for ten years." The head chef looked a little excited and trotted towards the chef.
He seemed to have seen 50,000 yuan in cash waving to him.
Tian Xiaohai also came to the kitchen and started to get busy.
Su Nian and Bai Qiuyu selected ten judges on the spot.
A makeshift game began quietly.
The chefs couldn't help but laugh secretly when they saw Tian Xiaohai's actions of washing and chopping vegetables, which seemed unfamiliar to him.
Especially the head chef, who had a smile on his face and almost laughed out loud.
His cooking skills are considered to be the best in the entire hotel, he is quick at work and has good knife skills.
After preparing the dishes, he waited for Tian Xiaohai to get into the pot.
After another two minutes, the other chefs also prepared the dishes one by one and were waiting to put them in the pot to stir-fry. They all looked at Tian Xiaohai, waiting for Tian Xiaohai to cut the dishes.
"What are you doing here? After the dishes are prepared, just start frying!" Tian Xiaohai shouted to the chefs with a smile: "Don't wait for me, I will be the last one to cook."
"Mr. Tian, we are not waiting for you. We are worried that if the rice noodles are cooked too early, the taste will be affected when the rice noodles are cold. Therefore, we have to wait until you are in the pot before adding them to the pot together." The head chef explained to Tian Xiaohai with a smile.
"That's it! I'm sorry, it's me who's holding you back." Tian Xiaohai nodded with a smile and said, "I'll speed up the cooking!"
After saying that, he quickly got busy.
The head chef and the chefs next to him looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh knowingly.
Everyone thought, Tian Xiaohai's level is just an amateur, how can he compare with a professional team like them? Wouldn't that be humiliating himself?
After another three minutes, Tian Xiaohai finally prepared the dishes, turned up the heat and poured oil into the pot.
When the head chef saw that the time was right, he smiled and shouted: "Let's stir-fry!"
The chefs poured the vegetables into the pot one after another, then poured the rice noodles into the pot and began to stir-fry.
After some operations, it didn't take long for the head chef and his chefs to bring out the delicious and tasty vermicelli one by one.
When placed on the table, the color is bright and the fragrance is overflowing. I have to admit that the cooking skills of this group of people are really high.
On the other hand, Tian Xiaohai's fried rice noodles are a bit inferior in color. Fortunately, he added Shanhu salt and a special seasoning packet, which makes the rice noodles even better in taste.
"Okay! Mine is out of the pot too." Tian Xiaohai poured the rice noodles in the pot onto the plate and accidentally sprinkled some on the stove.
The chefs at the scene almost couldn't hold back their laughter.
"Okay, let's take it to the judges outside to comment! Let's go out after all the judges have given their scores in five minutes." A confident smile appeared on the head chef's face, and he asked Tian Xiaohai: "Mr. Tian
, go out a few minutes later, no problem!"
"Of course it's no problem! This way no one can cheat." Tian Xiaohai replied with a smile.
"Haha! Then let's ask the waiter to send it for inspection. Don't worry, Mr. Tian. I will have another waiter videotape the whole process behind to avoid cheating." The chef emphasized it again.
"Thank you!" Tian Xiaohai smiled and nodded and shouted to the head chef: "Take it out for the judges to taste!"
"yes!"
Immediately, a waiter came over and took the rice noodles to the lobby. Five minutes later, the judges gave their scores.
The waiter then notified the chef, Tian Xiaohai, and others, and rushed to the restaurant to wait for the final scoring results.
Including the head chef, a total of five people participated.
Five pieces of white paper have been laid out on the table in the hall, with corresponding numbers written on them. Different numbers represent the rice noodles fried by different people.
Each contestant holds the same number in his hand. When the time comes, he can directly identify the number and find out who got the highest score.
When they came to the lobby, everyone took out their own numbers and compared them with the number with the highest score on the paper, and immediately looked at each other.
"The highest score is not mine."
"Not me either!"
"Not me either."
Everyone looked at the chef.
The head chef shook his head in disbelief and said, "Is... the number written on it is wrong?"
"That's right, don't worry, the whole process is recorded!" Su Nian smiled and nodded.
"This number is not mine! I didn't win the prize." The head chef opened his mouth in surprise.
"It's normal not to win. If I guessed correctly, Mr. Tian should have won the highest score in this competition." Su Nian nodded towards Tian Xiaohai who was not far away and said with a smile: "Mr. Tian, show your number.
Come out and show everyone!"
"Sorry! Fortunately, I got the first place." Tian Xiaohai smiled and showed the number in his hand.
When everyone took a look, it turned out that Tian Xiaohai's work had received the highest score.
The chefs sighed in unison.
"well!"
This simple word "Alas" was full of helplessness and bitterness. In their opinion, it was probably Tian Xiaohai who had cheated.
The head chef's eyes were red, and he couldn't hold it back and actually shed two lines of tears.
"Lao Yu, what's wrong with you?" Su Nian saw what the other party was thinking, and asked the head chef with concern: "Are you doubting that Mr. Tian can get high scores? Do you think this time?
Mr. Tian cheated?"
"No, cheating is impossible. I supervised this matter single-handedly. The waiters were recording the whole process! Mr. Tian never took out his mobile phone and was with us all the time. There was no chance of cheating at all."
The head chef sneered, shook his head and said, "The main reason is that Mr. Tian's works are so recognisable. Obviously, when people look at them, they will know that this is a dish cooked by him."
As soon as he finished speaking, several chefs couldn't help laughing softly.
Obviously, the rice noodles fried by Tian Xiaohai are not very good-looking, and one can tell at a glance what is professional and non-professional.
It’s no wonder that the fried rice noodles made by those chefs are not only bright in color, but also put great effort into the chopped green onions. The chopped green onions are cut into rings and placed on the plate to form emerald green flowers.
of small wreaths.
The chef's plate was even more exquisite. It was surrounded by nine green onion garlands and an artificial matsutake stood in the middle. Anyone who knows anything knows that this is called "Nine-Nine Returns to One".
Looking at Tian Xiaohai's works, they are no different from those produced by ordinary aunts.
Just looking at the appearance, it is obvious that the professional team is beating the amateur team. The best work, but it did not get the highest score. Who among the chefs can be convinced?
Su Nian knew what everyone was thinking, so he smiled and waved to the chefs: "I know you must want to say that the rice noodles fried by Mr. Tian are not good-looking, but there must be something special about him, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to get them.
High score. I suggest you come over and have a taste first!”
"Okay, then I'll take the lead and have a taste!" The head chef took the lead and walked over.
"I'll try it too."
"Let me try it too!"
Several other chefs also walked forward.
"What I want is this unconvinced spirit!" Tian Xiaohai quietly had a new idea in his heart. He decided to let the head chef compete in tonight's food competition.
