As usual, when all the chefs are about to finish cooking, the host Xiao Yang is going to interact with the chefs who have finished cooking, just to have a simple chat and talk about the dishes to make the atmosphere more lively.
The host Xiao Yang walked up to the chef of Shangpin Seafood City, held a microphone in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Master Lin, what kind of fish is this dish you made?" After speaking, he handed the microphone to the chef in white clothes and hats.
Master Lin's mouth.
Master Lin put his hands behind his back and said, "It's grouper."
"Oh, grouper is a very precious sea fish."
The two of them chatted for a few words, which to an outsider might seem insignificant, but the people around them listened with gusto.
The host Xiao Yang immediately chatted with other chefs. At the fourth time, it was Zhao Wuhu's turn. He stood by the stove of Sihai Hotel and looked at the dishes on the stove. He asked habitually: "Zhao Wuhu"
Master, what is the name of this dish you made..."
Halfway through the words, the corner of the host Xiao Yang's mouth twitched and he couldn't ask any more, because he had already recognized this dish. Compared with other weird and precious dishes, the dish in front of him was definitely a household name.
.
"West... scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"
The host Xiao Yang screamed wildly in his heart, and his eyes widened when he saw it. He couldn't believe what he saw. Someone actually fried a plate of tomatoes and eggs to participate in the competition? Is this a disguised form of admitting defeat and abandoning the competition?
Zhao Wuhu didn't seem to notice the stunned look on the host Xiao Yang's face. He smiled and said loudly into the microphone: "The dish I made is called scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The onlookers around the venue were far away and at eye level, so they couldn't see clearly what dishes the eight chefs were cooking, so they needed to be introduced by the host.
At this moment, when I heard that the chef of Sihai Hotel had cooked scrambled eggs with tomatoes, there was an uproar. Everyone burst into laughter, and then started talking loudly.
"I saw that the dish was red and shining with golden light. I thought it was some delicacy I had never eaten before, but it turned out to be scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"
"I just saw something that looked like this dish, but I couldn't believe it, it actually turned out to be this."
"Zhen Zhen, this is too perfunctory. I can fry this dish, can I also participate in the competition?"
The host Xiao Yang coughed lightly as he listened to the comments coming from around him. As a well-known celebrity on the local TV station, he was so shocked that he no longer knew what to say to smooth things over.
"Fried eggs with tomatoes, um, that's good. This dish is close to the common people and a popular delicacy. Master Zhao is really interested in it." After saying a few words casually, the host Xiao Yang quickly wiped away the sweat, greased the soles of his feet and walked away.
Before leaving, the host Xiao Yang suddenly smelled a strong and strange aroma emanating from the plate in front of him and pouring into his nose, but he didn't think much and walked away immediately.
Outside the venue, Long Ziyang, who was accompanied by a female assistant, also noticed early that the ingredients prepared by Sihai Hotel were a bit weird. He also thought for a long time and guessed what kind of trick Zhao Wuhu was trying to do when he brought out tomatoes and eggs. He never dreamed of it.
Think in the direction of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Seeing that Zhao Wuhu actually admitted that what he was cooking was really scrambled eggs with tomatoes, he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing proudly, leaning forward and back with laughter: "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, haha." His face was full of joy.
Feeling proud, he understood that the prepared abalone must have been ruined, so he broke the jars and cooked a random dish without any hope of entering the semi-finals.
Thinking of this, Long Ziyang glanced around, then with a sneer on his lips, he walked towards Zhao Sihai. After approaching, he smiled and said: "Brother Sihai, this is the famous dish carefully prepared by your restaurant, fried tomatoes.
Eggs are really unique." There was countless ridicule and ridicule in his words.
Zhao Sihai has a calm temperament, how could he be angered by Long Ziyang's few words. On the contrary, Zhao Tiekai was already very unhappy with Long Ziyang's repeated dirty tricks on his restaurant. Seeing that he was now taking the initiative to stir up trouble, he couldn't bear it!
"What's wrong with the scrambled eggs with tomatoes? It's better than the toads made by that chef!" Zhao Tiekai curled his lips and said disdainfully.
"Haha, it's really funny. The street food sold by the public at ten yuan a plate is on par with snow clam soup." Long Ziyang shook his head in a serious manner and raised his eyebrows, "But it's okay, knowing that
If you are eliminated, don't waste too many precious ingredients. It's not cost-effective. You are really good at saving. I, Long Ziyang, admire you."
After saying this, Long Ziyang originally thought that the three people in front of him would be angry, but Zhao Sihai and Xue Chen were both calm and calm, and even Zhao Tiekai was not very angry, which made him startled and suspicious.
Zhao Tiekai curled his lips and said confidently: "Snow clam? In my eyes, it is not as good as Xue Chen's tomatoes."
At this time, Xiao Yang, the host at the venue, stood next to the chef's stove in Mingxuan Hotel and asked the chef: "Master Gao, this is your dish?"
"First-class snow clam and sea emperor soup."
"Wow, snow clam, a rare ingredient." The host Xiao Yang thought to himself that this is finally a normal dish. If another vinegary cabbage and stir-fried bean sprouts pop up, it will embarrass him.
"For this competition, these snow clams were specially purchased. They are all of the best quality among wild snow clams. Their nutritional value is unmatched by ordinary ingredients. They are nutritious..." Master Da Gao from Mingxuan Hotel gushed.
He talked a lot about the nutritional supplement effects of this dish he made.
The crowd outside the stadium also nodded repeatedly, they were very optimistic about this dish, and they all agreed with this dish. Look, this looks like a competition. What the hell are tomatoes and scrambled eggs? It completely lowers the level of the competition.
The interactive session between the host and the chef ended successfully, and then came the most important process of the competition, where the eight food judges tasted the dishes cooked by the eight chefs!
The dishes prepared by each chef were first carried by the staff in front of the eight judges. This was to let the judges take a look at the shape of the dishes and the plating techniques.
The top eight chefs are all top-notch, and their level in this category is very high. The eight judges nodded repeatedly, only frowning when they saw the plate of tomatoes and scrambled eggs.
Next, each dish was divided into eight small portions and sent to eight judges for tasting. After the tasting, it was the final round of scoring!
When eight different dishes with excellent color, flavor and taste were placed in front of them, the eight judges also selected and tasted them one after another according to their own preferences.
Some people wanted to try snow clams, so they took a spoonful of soup and put it into their mouths; some people had a special liking for grouper, one of the four famous fishes, so they took a piece and nodded with satisfaction;
Some were also very optimistic about the dish of goose feet with abalone sauce and took a piece... After tasting a dish, the judges wrote a number on their scoreboard.
Among the eight dishes, only the scrambled eggs with tomatoes were ignored. None of the judges tasted this dish first, as if they had not seen it. It was not until they had tasted the other seven dishes that they reluctantly stretched out their chopsticks.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes……
The host Xiao Yang stood beside the judges' table, waiting for the judges to taste and score. Looking at the eight kinds of dishes with different characteristics, he also wanted to taste them, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance, and he was secretly depressed.
But soon, he discovered a strange thing that he couldn't understand. When the eight judges tasted the dishes, they mostly took one or two small bites. Even if they encountered the dishes they liked very much, they rarely took them out.
Eating them all would be a waste of time and the food would look ugly, so just a small taste is enough. And while eating, they would nod and discuss one or two sentences with each other, commenting on the taste of a certain dish.
But why, when it was the turn of the tomatoes and scrambled eggs, the eight judges suddenly lost their voices. They all ate with frowns and serious faces, and they didn't just take one or two bites, but kept eating.
"Wow, President Wang actually ate them all." The host Xiao Yang was shocked. President Wang has always been very picky. Then, Section Chief Lu from the Health Bureau also ate all the tomatoes and scrambled eggs...
The tasting stage lasted for nearly twenty minutes. When the tasting was over, the host Xiao Yang looked at the eight small bowls in front of each judge with flickering eyes. Without exception, all the tomatoes and scrambled eggs were eaten. They were all empty.
Got it!
After each judge tasted it, they saw that others had also eaten up the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the expressions on their faces were a bit intriguing.
Chief Lu of the Health Bureau turned to President Wang of the Food Association and said, "President Wang, this scrambled egg with tomatoes is a bit interesting."
President Wang recalled the wonderful feeling on his taste buds just now, and nodded in a muffled voice: "Well, it's a bit interesting, a bit interesting."
"This scrambled egg with tomatoes is still okay." Deputy Director Geng of the Tourism Bureau commented with a nod.
"Yes, indeed you can."
"tasty."
The eight judges acted very reserved, but in fact they were already shocked and speechless. They had never tasted such delicious scrambled eggs with tomatoes in their lives, especially the moment the red tomato pulp was put into their mouths, it tasted so good.
It exploded! It almost made them swallow their tongues!
However, how can they have the nerve to comment on a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes like this? Doesn’t it seem that they are very ignorant? But the eight of them all have a balance in their hearts. Who is better and who is worse has already been pretended in their hearts. Looking at the stove of Sihai Hotel again
At that time, every judge's eyes were no longer filled with contempt and sullenness, only endless wonder remained.
The host Xiao Yang felt that the reactions of the eight judges were a bit strange, but he still started the next round very dedicatedly. He took two steps forward, stood in the sight of hundreds of thousands of onlookers, and said with a smile.
:
"Now that the eight judges have tasted the dishes carefully prepared by the eight chefs, the next step is the most important scoring step. Please wait and see, which dish can get the highest score in this competition? And there are
Which four master chefs can enter the semifinals competition to compete for the final championship? Now, we will reveal the answer together!" (To be continued)
