It was half past two in the afternoon, and the school was once again crowded, and the lively atmosphere was filled with warmth in the winter.
The large open spaces in the academy are already crowded with people watching. They are nervously and excitedly staring at the neatly dressed students surrounding the circle in the center.
The number of students standing in each open area is different, and the types of clothes they wear are also different. Some are student clothes, some are Tang suits, and some are wearing white chef clothes. They are distributed in the four open areas of the academy, with one venue in the southeast and northwest.
The number of people visiting and appreciating different areas is also different. The most popular one is to watch the food competition. Almost the entire circular area is crowded with people, happily enjoying the food competition that is about to start. Who does it?
Whoever has good food will get the first place reward. Of course, the top three will all have rewards.
In the center, surrounded by a circle are four review experts from the food industry, and the fifth one is Hope Academy's strongest student council president - Wuyue. Her presence attracts more people to take a look at her.
The reason for his grace.
The crowds surrounding the food competition venue include men, women, and children. Even the former junior high school students, a boy and a girl, stared expectantly at the young man wearing a white chef uniform and accompanied by two cat-eared maids, Lolita.
Surprisingly, it is Ye Ming Lu who makes delicious fried chicken nuggets.
Almost all the people who have tasted fried chicken nuggets are here. They want to see what kind of delicious food the young chef can come up with in this competition. Even just smelling it is worth it.
There are a total of five students wearing chef uniforms, with one or two helpers beside them. The distance between the circles is enough not to hinder their respective work, and the ingredients can only come from the domestic meat provided by the academy.
Common vegetables, fruits and ingredients, under limited conditions, choose the most suitable and best at making them, and ultimately win, which is why they are standing here now.
"Good afternoon everyone, I am Wuyue, the student council president of Hope Academy. I am very happy to see that the chefs in the competition are in high spirits and will be able to show off their skills later. In addition, I would also like to thank everyone present for their support of Hope Academy.
Some people may wonder why I am here, I can answer clearly, as the president, like everyone else, I like to eat, and appreciating food is one of my hobbies!"
"Little girl? Is she the president?"
"Obviously she is a loli, but how can she be so powerful!"
"It's amazing..."
Wuyue briefly introduced herself. Most of them were outsiders, so they never expected that such a petite, beautiful and cute girl could be the student council president, and she could face hundreds of people without changing her expression and be calm and composed.
"Then, our school food competition is about to begin. Let's wait and see how strong the chefs are!"
Seeing that the time was almost up, she also wanted to taste what kind of delicacies Ye Minglu would bring them. The chef who could stand on the scene was definitely strong enough. However, she knew very well what Ye Minglu was capable of.
Once you try it once, you won’t want to come back, so this time will definitely be no different!
As soon as Wuyue announced the start of the competition, most of the chefs had already begun to pick out what kind of food they should make to win the competition. Besides, except for Wuyue, the other four they faced were giants in the food industry and specialized in tasting various delicacies.
expert.
"Ming Lu, why don't we start?"
The other four students had already selected the best ingredients and started working, while Ye Minglu was still deep in thought. Emily was a little worried when she saw that the chefs here might have the same abilities as him.
"Don't worry, I'm thinking about what I should do to reflect the essence of food better than what others do!"
Ye Minglu walked to the ingredient selection area calmly and looked at the ingredients that were placed there. Almost all of them were freshly purchased ingredients. Even simple meals would be delicious, provided he knew how to cook them.
.
"Okay, let's do this!"
Ye Minglu picked up a few potatoes, bacon, and dough crust, three simple and unattractive ingredients, and slowly returned to Emily and Jue Xin.
"Ming Lu, what are you going to do with these three things?"
"Of course it's to make delicious food. Too complicated processing of ingredients takes time, and this simple operation is faster than preparing other ingredients!"
In this competition, generally if you want to make delicious food, you must choose some meat that can reflect the deliciousness. Yeminglu is just the opposite. Bacon meat is not as juicy, juicy, smooth and delicious as real meat, and it tastes more delicious.
It's like smoked cooking, which is quite unique. Although it may be delicious, the chance of getting the ultimate gourmet food is very small.
"So what do we do?"
Emily didn't know much about ingredients, but could these three simple ingredients really make amazing food? With such doubts, she didn't say anything and saw what she could do.
What can you do within your capabilities?
"Emily, help me peel the potatoes off and cut them into small pieces. You have been working in the maid restaurant for so long, these things should be trivial to you."
"That's for sure, keep it with me!"
Emily picked up the mound of soil and started peeling it with ease. With one continuous peeling technique, the skins of the potatoes fell off in circles.
"Jie Xin, help me boil the water in the pot, add some vinegar and some sauce!"
"Understood, thank you!"
The simple handling of the problem was left to Emily and Yue Xin. They had done most of the pre-cooking work in the maid restaurant. Apart from not being able to turn the ingredients into gourmet food, everything else was not a problem.
"Then I have to do what I have to do!"
Turn on the stove and put some oil on the pan. Although bacon is smoked food, fry it again to release its unique aroma.
The chefs are all busy processing the ingredients, and some have already entered the final stage. The white-hot stage has arrived, and it depends on who can finish it first. The time limit is within one hour. For some meats, if the texture of the meat is not damaged,
Finished within an hour, it tests the chef's ability.
"Ming Lu, what kind of delicious food will you make? Let me look forward to it a little bit!"
Wuyue looked at Ye Minglu's calm and unhurried look, and there was a refreshing and excited smile on his expression. Maybe cooking was his talent, and he was so happy doing what he wanted to do.
As time passed by, the crowd watching was more excited than the chefs, as if they were cooking delicious food. However, they also wanted to see quickly whether the delicious food made by the student chefs could impress the giants in the food industry.
If you can, your future will be bright.
Another student chef quickly chopped the chicken into shredded meat. The size and length were almost the same. People couldn't help but be surprised when they saw it. The power of knife skills lies in the degree of control.
"This year's food competition seems to be able to taste better food. President, which one do you like the most?"
A giant in the food industry, a middle-aged man with glasses, asked Wu Yue interestingly. Last year, Wu Yue had not participated in the food competition, but her name was already well-known in the food industry and the commercial street.
And this time she actually became a judge in the competition. Naturally, she had some interest or reason. Rather, she was looking forward to the skills of the student chefs.
"This year's food competition will naturally be much better than previous years, because food methods are changing with each passing day. Among the five people, I am actually optimistic about them. They are all very capable. You would not know it until you have tasted it."
"It turns out that they are all promising, so I want to give it a try and see if I can choose a few to work as chefs under our banner!"
The middle-aged man smiled indifferently. The food industry will never talk about multiple people at any time. As long as there are potential and capable chefs, they will recruit them. And the reviewers here include three food experts from other companies. If there are five
If they all have the ability, then someone among them must have grabbed two outstanding newcomers.
"Then let's see if you can impress them!"
Wu Yue did not immediately point out that Ye Ming Road on the field cannot be grabbed, because it goes without saying that Ye Ming Road belongs to her and others cannot grab it. It is more fun to leave it to the end to shock them.
While the bacon was being fried, Ye Minglu kept pouring olive oil on it to allow the flavor to spread out without losing any moisture during the frying process, making its appearance shiny.
The competition venue was filled with the aroma of the food cooked by the five chefs, and the crowd watching was almost drooling. It had only been less than half a day since they finished eating the food at the food stall at noon, but their stomachs actually gave a reaction.
There were still twenty minutes left before the end time, and the bacon on Yeming Road had just stopped frying. Emily poured all the small pieces of potatoes cut into the boiling water that Jie Xin had boiled.
Putting out the dough crust, Ye Minglu chopped the bacon into small pieces and placed a small piece in each empty space of the dough crust. After filling it up, there was still a lot of bacon left. At this time, Ye Minglu
Ming Lu has stopped any work at hand.
With more than ten minutes left, Emily was even more anxious. The other chefs were almost done, but there were still a few processes on their side, could they make it in time?
A chef came out, carrying a plate, and what was the mysterious food covered in it? Both the spectators and food experts were looking forward to it.
"Judges, please have a taste of my shredded pork carving show!"
When the lid was opened, a fragrant smell of chicken burst out. As the steam spread, the food on the plate gradually appeared mysteriously in front of their eyes.
A phoenix is made of shredded chicken, the surrounding red is miso sauce, the eyes of the phoenix are carrot pieces, the body and tail of the phoenix are made of shredded chicken, dotted with red flame sauce, lifelike!
"The workmanship is exquisite, which really attracts us to try its deliciousness!"
"Let's try it out!"
The gourmet giant picked up the shredded chicken and put it into his mouth calmly. His eyes suddenly popped out, and millions of emotions suddenly appeared in his thoughts. The shredded chicken was as smooth as ice and snow, and it was so delicious!
"Judges, please, if you touch the sauce before eating, it will be more delicious!"
The student chef who made this delicacy confidently recommended it. If you just eat it without the sauce, it is so delicious that you will cry. What if you add the sauce?
With trepidation and surprise, the judges took a bite of the shredded chicken with miso sauce, and a bolt from the blue appeared in their minds. They could see a phoenix rising from the ashes, and the blazing flames were burning.
The body is also warming up!
What a delicious dish, it is not inferior to the current senior chefs. Talents have been born since ancient times, and they are only high school students. If they can improve their abilities in this area, it will not be a problem to surpass more chefs.
Wuyue tasted it, and she was slightly surprised that there was such delicious carved shredded chicken. Based on the approval of other food reviewers alone, the score could be close to full marks.
Each reviewer has two points to give, and now they each give twenty points, twenty points, nineteen points, nineteen points, twenty points, for a total of ninety-eight points!
The first chef scored almost full marks. It will be even more difficult for those who want to surpass the first place. To get 100 points or 99 points, they have to come up with more delicious food.
Ye Minglu was not intimidated by the chef who scored ninety-eight points. The chef standing on the stage also had his own strength, so it was useless for him to worry. He could only do it by himself. No matter what the result was, it was worth the challenge.
.
Picking up the potatoes, Ye Minglu quickly took off the outer layer of moisture and placed them on the bacon in the dough. When small pieces of potatoes landed on the bacon, they cracked softly, with a trace of
The water in the sauce overflows.
Ye Minglu poured the remaining bacon on top of the potatoes, wrapped it in a dough wrapper, tied it up with straw rope, and put it in the microwave.
The straw rope was only used after various kinds of disinfection and permission. Just what he wanted to do was almost completed in ten minutes. During this period, other chefs also got very high scores.
Except for the first one who scored 98 points, the other three scored 93 points, 90 points, and 88 points respectively, and Ye Minglu has not yet been served!
The gourmet giants looked at the clock and saw that there were still two minutes left, but Ye Minglu was dragging his feet without panicking, which made them confused or want to give up on him, because the thing in the microwave was obviously a bread bun! That kind of thing is simple to make,
The processes are diverse and there is no novelty or creativity.
They had not seen Ye Minglu's cooking skills. They judged the score low based on the appearance of the food. As giants in the food industry, they had eaten countless delicacies. The food in the high-end restaurant was beautifully presented and the food was so delicious.
, so the appearance of food must also have a certain degree of dependence to attract people's desire.
Among the other onlookers, a small number of people were full of expectations. They had eaten fried chicken nuggets. The workmanship was not very exquisite, but it was very delicious. It also used simple herbs, dough crust, and seasonings, and it was the best.
Well, I’m afraid not many people can do it!
"It seems that the winner has been decided. Sir, I don't think the last delicacy will be necessary. The score will not be higher than the others!"
Looking at the three delicacies that are over 90%, the carving of shredded chicken is the best, and then the delicacy of carp leaping over the dragon gate, the transformation of the fish into a dragon, is even more praiseworthy, so among these delicacies, the one on Yeming Road
It seems out of touch.
"As judges, we have to insist on tasting the last dish, and the time is not up yet, so we can't give up directly!"
Wuyue did not agree. Experts in the food industry thought that she was just fulfilling her duties. As the student council president, it was indeed wrong to treat students differently.
"That's right, let's just wait and see if the last dish can surpass the deliciousness of the previous ones."
In their opinion, the last one is almost impossible. They just follow Wuyue's wishes, and it is unjustifiable to abandon the last one in front of the crowd.
When the time was up, the stop time of the microwave oven was also up. Ye Minglu took it out with confidence and walked up directly with the plate in hand.
"Judges, please taste my exploding potato meat!"
Ye Minglu briefly introduced the name of his food. Where was the so-called "exploded" potato meat? What was obviously in front of them was a big bread.
"It's ridiculous. You dare to call this bread Explosive Potato Meat? It doesn't have the same performance. It's just a random name, and the shape is ugly."
Comments from the food industry, Ye Minglu smiled disdainfully. It looks like bread on the outside, but have you ever thought about the delicious food inside? With this slight smile, he picked up a spoon and gently cut off the surface.
Right in the center.
An explosive hot aroma spurted out, rising from the sky, permeating the entire venue. The steady stream of fragrant potato flavor mixed with the unique incense of bacon made people unable to hold back and want to eat it.
.
"It smells so good. What is that? I really want to take a bite."
"Isn't the fragrance of the last dish too strong? I'm hungry just after eating it. It's so awesome!"
Under the influence of the fragrance, the onlookers were fascinated by the delicious food. Unfortunately, they could only look at it but not eat it. If these were placed on the food stalls, no matter how expensive they were, they would buy them and eat them.
"Then let's try it!"
The five people each picked up the potato pieces inside the dough wrapper and nervously put them into their mouths.
At first they didn't see any change, but after about two seconds of putting it in their mouths, they were stunned. The potatoes were so soft that they actually exploded when they bit into them. The delicious sauce splashed in their mouths, and the potatoes
After melting, there seems to be a small piece of chewy meat, and the aroma is so refreshing.
"You used bacon. I saw you poured olive oil on the bacon earlier to prevent it from becoming hard and losing moisture, right?"
"Yes, bacon is a smoked food, and its aroma is unique. In addition, the potatoes are cooked with sauce. They are not only soft, but also full of sauce. This saves the seasoning process and you can eat two kinds directly.
The delicious food may taste better this way!”
Ye Minglu explained in detail that the main selling points of this delicacy are potato meat and bacon. The combination of the two is really a good combination.
"That's it. No wonder it's so delicious. It's really hard to put it down!"
Except for Wuyue, the other four people couldn't stop eating. Every time they ate, their mouths were full of passion. The potato meat used to be pink and soft, but now it was full of stimulating and explosive, sweet and delicious. How could they stop?
