Seeing Long Ziyang take the initiative to propose the dish of abalone and braised duck, he obviously accepted that the waitress was bribed by him and he did it, just to counter the ridicule of Xue Chen and Zhao Tiekai.
It's a pity that his wishful thinking came to nothing. Both Zhao Sihai and Zhao Wuhu no longer cared about the destruction of the ingredients, so Long Ziyang's punch felt like it hit the air, but it didn't hurt.
When he saw someone, he stretched himself a bit, and he started to murmur in his heart. He felt a little uncomfortable, especially the mysterious smiles of the Zhao family, which made him feel unsure.
"Alright, Wuhu, the game is about to start. Go over and prepare." Zhao Sihai said.
"Uncle Wuhu, come on." Xue Chen said with a cheerful smile.
"Okay." Zhao Wuhu glanced deeply at Xue Chen, turned around and walked into the venue with the two helpers to prepare for the upcoming competition.
The three of them, Xue Chen, ignored Long Ziyang and walked straight to the edge of the playing field, preparing to watch the upcoming game.
Long Ziyang's face darkened slightly, and he snorted heavily: "You're just pretending to be a ghost. Without the prepared abalone, what else can you cook in a hurry? Sooner or later, you will be driven away from the same street!"
After the chefs from the eight restaurants were in place one by one, the leaders of the gourmet, health and tourism bureaus, who were the referees, also arrived, walked into the center of the venue, and sat on the referee's bench.
At this time, more and more passers-by gathered around the competition venue. They all looked at the venue with interest and seemed to be interested in this chef competition.
The restaurants that the eight top eight chefs come from are also well-known in Bao City. Some passers-by have dined in these restaurants and commented one after another. Although the Sihai Hotel is only medium-sized, it already has nearly
This is an old restaurant with a history of 20 years, and many people have eaten there.
"Hey, Sihai Restaurant has also entered the top eight. Their food is indeed delicious."
"Yes, I accidentally ate Master Zhao's abalone and duck. It tasted great. I wonder if I will be able to cook this dish today."
"The Mingxuan Hotel is also good. I heard that the chef worked in a five-star hotel in the capital, and he often prepares state banquet-level banquets."
Amidst the commotion, a rather handsome man wearing glasses walked up to the front desk with a microphone in hand, and began to introduce today's competition and the eight judges present with a smile, and finally the eight chefs and representatives.
Restaurant.
"This is a very popular host from our Baoshi TV station named Xiao Yang." Zhao Tiekai looked into the venue and said casually.
It was also the first time in Xue Chen's life to watch chefs compete in cooking skills live. It was very interesting, and he was also very curious about what kind of exquisite dishes the chefs from the other seven restaurants would come up with.
"Today, as an important competition between eight and four, Deputy Director Geng of our Municipal Tourism Bureau and Chief Lu of the Health Bureau were personally present as referees to select four chefs with superior cooking skills among the eight. We
Thank you and applaud the two leaders who took time out of their busy schedules to come here."
Two of the eight referees stood up, nodded and waved their hands around, and there was a burst of sparse applause from around the venue.
After introducing the eight food judges, the host Xiao Yang did not talk much and announced the official start of the competition with a simple opening statement.
"The game begins!"
When the competition was announced and started, the people watching around the venue were all excited and applauded enthusiastically. Some had their legs crossed and some were climbing high. They all wanted to take a look at the exquisite cooking skills of the eight local chefs.
The eight stoves placed around the venue caught fire at the same time, and the chef and assistant cooks all got busy. There was only an hour to cook, and they were asked to make one dish. For some dishes with complicated processes, time was still very tight.
Long Ziyang, who was also standing on the edge of the venue, first glanced at his chef and saw that he had begun to move quickly. He nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Zhao Wuhu.
In this competition, he doesn't care about the results of other people, but he cares most about Sihai Hotel. The two restaurants are separated by a street, and the cuisine and price are very close. The competition is very fierce, so who can enter this time?
The semi-finals competition will have a great impact on the future operation and development of the hotel.
What he wanted to know most now was that Zhao Wuhu had no prepared abalone and could not cook his best abalone and duck. What would he choose to cook? When he saw Zhao Wuhu taking out three tomatoes with great care, he
I frowned on the chopping board and wondered in my heart, what exquisite dishes can tomatoes be made with?
Similarly, the people at Sihai Hotel were also paying attention to the chef at Mingxuan Hotel. After Zhao Sihai took a few glances, he hesitated and said: "It seems to be a first-class snow clam and sea soup."
"The name is good." Xue Chen smiled. The name alone made people feel that this dish was valuable and noble.
It has to be said that the dishes cooked by the eight chefs present were quite enjoyable to watch. From time to time, firelight spurted out from the stove, and when the horse spoon shook, the dishes in the spoon were thrown into the air. However, in the low voice of the crowd,
A lot of the shouts were returned to the pot, which won a full room of cheers and thunderous applause.
Less than ten minutes later, the aroma spread freely in the competition venue, teasing the taste buds of every spectator, causing the sound of swallowing saliva to be heard from time to time.
The eight food judges sitting in the center of the venue were also chatting and commenting on the food being cooked by the eight chefs.
Chief Lu of the Tourism Bureau looked at a man sitting nearby who was as fat as Maitreya Buddha and said with a smile: "President Wang, as the chairman of our Baoshi Food Association, which chef do you think will have better dishes today?"
One chip?"
"This is hard to say. I have to take a closer look." President Wang responded with a smile and nodded, then squinted his eyes and looked at the eight stoves around him, examining what each chef was cooking.
gourmet food.
He basically knows all eight chefs and has tasted each of their specialty dishes, so he has a more or less understanding of each chef's level.
When he saw the dishes being prepared by the chefs at Mingxuan Hotel, President Wang said with a smile: "Master Gao's first-class snow clam and sea soup was once served at a banquet for foreign friends. It tasted really good...
"
"Master Hong of Longyun Hotel is cooking abalone and goose feet in sauce, which is also a rare delicacy..."
"Shangpin Seafood City, um, of course they serve seafood. Let me see, oh, is it fresh grouper, braised or steamed..."
President Wang kept commenting all the way, but when it was the Sihai Restaurant's turn, he paused and muttered with a confused look on his face: "Huh? What dish is Master Zhao from Zhao Wuhu preparing?"
Compared with the hustle and bustle of other stoves, the stove in Sihai Hotel seems much deserted. Even the two helpers are standing idle, and only Zhao Wuhu is standing by the stove, processing ingredients and cutting tomatoes.
, beat eggs, twist eggs...
"Tomatoes? Eggs? President Wang, what do the chefs at Sihai Restaurant want to cook?" Chief Lu asked curiously.
"This..." President Wang comes from a family of chefs and has eaten countless delicacies. He could guess what dish he was going to cook just by looking at the ingredients, but this time he was stopped by the question.
What kind of dishes can be made with tomatoes and eggs? President Wang squinted his eyes slightly, and various dishes that could be prepared by using the two ingredients together flashed through his mind. However, after thinking for a long time, there was no one that fit the bill.
.
Chief Lu didn't have as much insight as President Wang when it came to things. He touched his chin and said suspiciously: "Tomatoes... scrambled eggs?"
President Wang shook his head like a wavy drum and laughed. How could he not know the dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes? But how is it possible? Are you kidding me for making scrambled eggs with tomatoes on such a formal occasion?
"But, he is just making scrambled eggs with tomatoes." Section Chief Lu saw that the eggs had been put into the pan, and it was clear that they were scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
President Wang shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could Master Zhao of Zhao Wuhu make scrambled eggs with tomatoes? There must be some other mystery, it must be."
However, President Wang soon had to admit that he was indeed making scrambled eggs with tomatoes. After the eggs were scrambled, the tomatoes were put into the pot, and finally the tomatoes and eggs were stir-fried in the same pot. Isn’t this exactly scrambled eggs with tomatoes?
?!
"Master Zhao actually made a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes?" President Wang of the Food Association shook the fat on his cheeks a few times, and the expression on his face was indescribably weird. Although it was already a certainty, the look in his eyes was still there.
Full of disbelief.
For such a big competition, you actually made a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes? This is not a joke, what is it? Look at what other people are cooking, such as snow clam soup, roasted goose feet, top-notch seafood...you make a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes,
Are you willing to serve it to the judges?
Thinking of this, not only President Wang, but also Section Chief Lu of the Health Bureau had a slightly sullen look on his face. He felt that Sihai Hotel was being too ridiculous and did not take this game seriously at all, so he took out a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Come to fool people, what do the people around think? If they don’t know clearly, they think it is an entertainment and comedy show. How can it play the role of promoting the city and promoting tourism culture?!
After more than half an hour, the dishes cooked by the eight chefs were taken out of the pot and plated one by one. The remaining six food judges also noticed the golden and red dish at Sihai Restaurant. It seemed that it had the best taste among the three elements.
The color is good and looks very appetizing.
But... Damn, scrambled eggs with tomatoes? Everyone's eyes widened, and they stretched their necks to take a closer look, thinking they were dazzled.
For a moment, the eight food judges all looked at each other and frowned. They were all very unhappy with Sihai Hotel's perfunctory and lazy behavior. This behavior was very bad and made all eight of them feel slighted. (
