Hearing what the short chef said, Jiang Xiaofan looked strange and said, "My dish is the new-flavored vegetables from Shiweixian Restaurant."
"Don't be ridiculous, the food at Shiweixian Restaurant is never available to outsiders."
The short chef curled his lips and asked arrogantly: "By the way, which restaurant in the county are you from? As long as it's somewhat famous, I've basically heard of it."
Jiang Xiaofan was a little dissatisfied with his attitude and said lightly: "Shiwei Xian Restaurant."
According to the rules of the gourmet cooking competition, only the restaurants that advance to the finals will be displayed on the tent.
As soon as Jiang Xiaofan said this, the chefs around him burst into laughter.
The short chef laughed so hard: "Haha, you really dare to put gold on your face. The chef of Shiweixian Restaurant is Yang Fang, and I had a drink with him some time ago. Don't tell me that you are Yang Fang
,Ha ha ha ha!"
"The preface does not match the postscript. One moment I said that I was serving food to Shiweixian Restaurant, and the next moment I said that I represented Shiweixian Restaurant in the competition."
"By the way, speaking of Shiweixian Restaurant, why haven't you seen their chef Yang Fangyang?"
"I don't know, maybe over there on the horse. I think Chef Yang will definitely be in the top ten."
"I heard that Chef Yang learned his cooking skills from their boss. I don't know if it's true or not..."
"..."
Hearing the whispers around him, Jiang Xiaofan couldn't help but think to himself in a wicked way, what kind of expressions would they have when they knew his identity.
"The Qingyuan County preliminaries begin now, and the top ten can advance to the finals." With the sweet voice of the host, all the chefs in the square became busy.
For a moment, the sound of water being washed and the thump of the kitchen knife chopping were like beautiful music coming together.
Jiang Xiaofan glanced around and found that everyone's knife skills were very good. Especially the short chef who spoke poorly, he scraped off the scales of the fish with just a few knives, then ripped open the fish and took out the internal organs in one go.
"It's barely enough, no wonder you dare to talk like that." Jiang Xiaofan commented in his heart.
He took out the ingredients from the bag and placed them on the chopping board one by one. Bright red tomatoes, white free-range eggs, and some spare condiments.
As for the seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, etc., Jiang Xiaofan did not bring them from home. These were the same ones provided by the competition and had little impact on the dishes he would make next.
"Huh? There's someone here who brings his own ingredients." In the broadcast department of the Gourmet Cooking Competition, one of the staff remotely controlled the drone to see Jiang Xiaofan.
According to the experience of previous competitions, all contestants who bring their own ingredients are very confident in their own ingredients. Because the competition is divided into two parts: cooking skills and ingredients, if the ingredients are unique, you can also win awards.
The staff immediately discovered the hot spot and controlled the drone to aim at Jiang Xiaofan. For a moment, Jiang Xiaofan's cooking process appeared on the huge electronic screen of Bandung Square.
“There are people here who bring their own ingredients, which is kind of interesting.”
"Except for the chefs from Jinyang City, only the chefs from Heishui County have brought it. There are very few people from other counties."
"It seems that he is very confident in his ingredients."
"..."
Seeing Jiang Xiaofan on the big screen, everyone onlookers started talking.
At this time, somewhere in the guest seats, Xia Xi looked at the big screen in surprise. He also came to participate in the gourmet cooking competition?
When Ai Chuyi saw Jiang Xiaofan on the big screen, he couldn't help but be jealous and said: "Humph, sensationalizing!"
Jiang Xiaofan's hearing was very keen, and he heard the comments from the audience, and then realized that he was on the big screen.
However, Jiang Xiaofan was in a good mood and handled the ingredients in an orderly manner.
Jiang Xiaofan first boiled a bowl of water, then washed the tomatoes, took out four free-range eggs and cracked them into the bowl.
At this time, the water on the stove was already hot. Jiang Xiaofan put the tomatoes into the pot, blanched them for five seconds and quickly took them out.
He rinsed it with cold water, then gently tore open the skin of the tomatoes, revealing the bright and juicy pulp inside.
"Hey, these tomatoes look good."
"It looks really good, and if you noticed, it seems to be very big."
"I don't know if it is ripened by hormones. Let's see how it tastes later."
"..."
Among the onlookers, there were some who praised him, and some who were jealous and disparaging.
Jiang Xiaofan turned a blind eye to this and started cooking scrambled eggs with tomatoes. He poured cold oil into the hot pan and poured the egg liquid into it. When it was scalded by the boiling oil, a strong fragrance floated out in the wind.
"It smells so good. Is this the smell of scrambled eggs?"
"I've never smelled eggs so fragrant."
"I have only tasted this pure taste at Guiyuan Villa..."
"..."
People who were close to Jiang Xiaofan could not help but sigh with emotion when they smelled the fragrance.
Jiang Xiaofan fried the eggs and took them out, then began to fry the chopped tomatoes. The native eggs were a cross between wild pheasants and had a more mellow taste than ordinary eggs. Tomatoes that had been nourished by spiritual energy were not comparable to ordinary tomatoes.
Many people stared at Jiang Xiaofan cooking and even forgot to look at the other contestants.
At the same time, the deft chef had already prepared the dish, which was carried to the judges' table by the staff.
Dishes were served one after another, and the judges gave scores after tasting them.
Since the top ten contestants in the county were selected, even if the dishes were cooked first, they still had to wait for other contestants.
As a result, the chef who prepared the dishes in advance felt even more miserable.
Listening to the score coming from the speaker, Jiang Xiaofan was in a calm mood. He continued to stir-fry calmly, allowing the tomato soup to fully penetrate into the free-range eggs.
Two minutes later, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes came out of the pan.
"It's done." Jiang Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief and gestured to the staff next to him with a smile.
The staff picked up the dishes on the table and led Jiang Xiaofan to the judges' seat. On the way, he kept looking at the plate and swallowing frantically.
Jiang Xiaofan was worried that if he walked a little longer, the other party would be tempted to steal his food.
Soon they arrived at the judges' table. Jiang Xiaofan and Wei Xuan looked at each other and smiled. However, due to the competition, they did not say hello directly.
She took the first chopsticks and frowned slightly after eating. The taste seemed a little different from what she had eaten before?
However, seeing Jiang Xiaofan's smile, Wei Xuan instantly understood that Jiang Xiaofan was deliberately hiding something because he didn't want to be in the limelight during the qualifying round.
Wei Xuan thought for a moment and wrote a score on the paper: "9.3 points."
The other judges tasted the dishes one after another and nodded with satisfaction: "9.2 points, 9.0 points, 9.4 points, 9.3 points."
Jiang Xiaofan was very satisfied with this score. Judging from the score reported by the host just now, his score should be above average.
He deliberately made Huo Hou older just to avoid standing out. After all, he and Lei Bao had a bet and wanted to prevent the other party from making mistakes.
Ten minutes later, the results of all the contestants came out, and Jiang Xiaofan finally advanced to the finals in sixth place.
