No one pays attention to Blue Lake Xuan, including Xu Zaiqing and Zhao Chaohai, who are impressed by Zhou Hua's foreignness.
In their eyes, Blue Lake Pavilion is insignificant.
Even the focus of the entire competition is only among the top ten restaurants, and the other contestants are just here to set off the competition.
After all, starting nine years ago, since the three gastronomic competitions, the top ten have been occupied by ten top restaurants such as Tianlong Hotel, Jindu Baiweixuan, and Royal Cuisine. The order of the highest rankings will fluctuate, and no one can break the pattern.
Among the top ten restaurants.
The first place is unbeatable and has always been occupied by Tianlong Hotel.
In the center, under the crystal chandelier, the most eye-catching place is the area where the participating teams of Tianlong Hotel are located.
As the core of Tianlong Hotel, the chef Pang Xiangru has a cold and arrogant attitude, a solemn look, and scolds Fang Qiu. He has the style of everyone, and his dress is even more eye-catching.
The chef's uniform with gold edges and white background, embellished with golden dragon patterns, stood out from the crowd. Everyone present noticed him at first sight.
"Haha, Chef Pang is still such a coquettish guy. If you didn't know, you'd think he was the God of Cookery."
At the judges' table, Zhu Junlong made a joke.
His tone clearly suggested that he had a relationship with Pang Xianggru.
"Um... Mr. Pang has been re-elected as the King of Chefs for the tenth time. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the God of Cooking."
"Yes, his cooking skills are the best in China."
Xu Zaiqing and others echoed from the sidelines.
"Really? The dishes he cooks are very fancy, but the taste is just average,"
Zhu Junlong put his hands on the back of his head, looking leisurely and contented. In fact, if it weren't for the notice fee, he wouldn't want to come at all.
The others smiled and knew Zhu Junlong's temperament. They followed his words and nodded and continued to cater to him, "It's like this. When a chef reaches a certain level, what he pursues is art, and taste comes second."
"Bah, that's nonsense! What you eat is what you eat. How can a group of prudes, by putting on a ceremonial gesture, elevate food to art? Are you insulting art?"
Zhu Junlong was still disdainful and did not give Xu Zaiqing and others any face.
A group of people looked at each other in embarrassment, and finally fell silent. Who is this person who is a first-line star? The public influence is far higher than them.
Because of this, Xu Zaiqing chose to compromise on Zhou Huayang's beating.
Two hours later, the work of the team at position 20, a restaurant specializing in Northeastern cuisine, Chef Wei, was the first to come out.
"Chef Wei?"
"Haha, could it be that the one on display is their signature dish, big fish stewed in soy sauce?"
"Probably not. Lu Sancheng, the boss of Chef Wei, would not be so stupid. Moreover, he is good at innovation. In the last competition, he made a secret dish, the donkey meat mandarin duck roll, which was an instant success. He was only three points away from the tenth place.
point.
"This time we make a comeback, we should be able to produce better works."
Most of the other contestants had already finished more than half of the dishes. They were waiting for the time to come out and the dishes to come out. They all talked in low voices and turned their attention to Chef Wei's position.
"The work of Chef Wei, Fish Letters and Yanxin!"
The charming host Huang Lulu took the microphone and walked to Chef Wei's workbench in a few steps, and the camera moved accordingly.
The dishes were pushed by the dining car to the judges' table. They were covered with iron covers. Outsiders could not see the appearance of the dishes for a while, but they could vaguely smell the alluring aroma, which made people move their index fingers.
"Boss Lu, I heard that you also participated in the last food competition and finished in eleventh place by three points. Do you want to avenge your disgrace this year?"
"Of course, in the past three years, I have traveled all over the country, visiting famous chefs and local chefs, and worked tirelessly to bring Chef Wei to the top ten! My goal is to be number one!"
"Have high morale and wish you all your wishes. Now let's talk about 'Fish Shu Yan Xin'. What's so famous about your dish? It's both fish and goose. Is it because of the ingredients, or does it have a special meaning?"
"It is a rare fish in the Northeast, also known as mandarin fish. It is stuffed with the meat of the fish lips, fins, and tail parts. Secondly, it is mainly made of pork belly and chicken, which are hammered and pounded into a paste..."
Next to Huang Lulu, a gentle-looking fat man was introducing his own dishes in a eloquent manner, showing confidence in his gestures.
It seems that this dish can break into the top ten.
As he finished introducing the dishes on the dining car, the plates were opened, and there were fifteen small bowls, and the aroma of fish was fragrant.
There is a dark red, cherry-sized meatball inside each, and with the clear fish soup, the color combination is extremely harmonious.
It can be said that it is full of color and fragrance.
The judges did praise it a lot, but they only tried it briefly. After trying the taste of the meatballs and fish soup, they all put down their bowls and chopsticks and gargled their mouths with water very carefully.
“It’s very creative and thoughtful. The meat filling is tender and refreshing. It’s unique.”
"The presentation and taste are so good that it can become another of your Chef Wei's signature dishes."
Xu Zaiqing was the first to comment, first promoting and then suppressing. After talking about the advantages, he naturally started to comment on the shortcomings.
Xu Zaiqing is notoriously strict about food and has an extremely keen sense of taste, able to clearly distinguish hundreds of flavors and ingredients.
No matter how perfect the food is, many flaws can be picked out in front of him.
What's more, this 'Fish Letter' is not perfect.
He listed more than a dozen shortcomings in a series, such as the combination of several types of meat, which amplified each other's shortcomings, such as the fishy smell that was carefully removed, and the taste of the two types of meat was very different.
The other judges nodded thoughtfully, and several of them tried it again and nodded repeatedly. Apparently, they discovered the flaws after Xu Zaiqing mentioned it.
Lu Sancheng's entire face turned dark, but he still managed to maintain a smile.
The final score, fourteen professional judges, gave a score that fluctuated between seven points, with a high of 8 points and a low of 5 points.
Only Zhu Junlong, with the bright red "10 Points" sign on his hand, was extremely eye-catching. He seemed to like the meatballs so much that he even drank the soup.
The total score is 105 points.
Lu Sancheng shook his head helplessly. His score was lower than last year. It seemed that he had no hope of making the top ten. However, it was gratifying to be loved by the popular star Zhu Junlong.
The judges all had strange expressions on their faces. This Zhu Junlong is so ridiculous. This work simply cannot reach a very high level!
"President Xu, what should I do..." Secretary Li's face changed slightly, he pulled Xu Zaiqing aside and asked in a low voice.
"Should we change the competition system, remove the highest score, remove the lowest score, and take the average as the final score for ranking?"
In previous years, the judges were all top chefs and gourmets, so they needed qualifications and status.
They are all seniors in this field, and they value reputation very much. Even if they meet someone with whom they have a feud, they will avoid suspicion and give a score that is neither high nor low. Similarly, if there are close friends participating in the competition, they will avoid suspicion and give a lower score.
Therefore, since its inception, rankings have been based on total scores.
This year is different. In accordance with the requirements of the organizer, sponsors, etc., celebrity guests have been added, claiming to be to boost popularity and traffic.
As a result... this star seems to be unsophisticated, and all ratings are based on preference. No matter how much you like it, it's impossible to give it full marks.
"Forget it, it won't have much impact. Let him go. Changing the rules now will make him unhappy. Let's remind Lao Zheng and the others to pay attention to balance." Xu Zaiqing shook his head with a wry smile.
