As he spoke, he turned to go to The Kitchen God to have his meal.
"We are all old acquaintances. If you are hungry, then so be it. What's the point of exchanging ideas with me? You just want to eat the dishes cooked by Yuan," Zhou Shijie exposed him directly.
"How can you describe a chef's desire to eat delicacies with the word 'hungry'? It's called tasting delicacies. Now is the time for an outing in spring, "Head Chef Zhuang immediately added.
"I think we can form a group." Head Chef Wang thought it was a good idea.
On the other side, Head Chef Yue, who was watching silently, also nodded in agreement.
While the people on the rostrum were busy planning the spring outing to The Kitchen God, the people on the rostrum were busy cooking.
This time, Yuan Zhou chose the Double Crispy Fried Oil, which was extremely difficult to control. It sounded very simple, but it was not. The control of the heat was very important.
The traditional Double Crispy Fried Oil was usually made with pork tripe and chicken gizzards. As time went by, some people used pork tripe and kidney, while others used chicken gizzards and beef tripe.
However, Yuan Zhou would definitely choose the most primitive method. Restoring the most authentic taste was what he pursued.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang"
Yuan Zhou raised his hand and chopped down the knife. Then, the pig tripe that had already been processed scattered like flowers scattered by a fairy. The snow-white pieces looked like snowflakes in the blink of an eye.
After processing the pork tripe, Yuan Zhou began to process the chicken gizzards again. His technique was smooth and natural, forming its own rhythm. One look and anyone could tell he was a master.
Qin Hua and the other two beside him were not inferior to him. Moreover, they had more people, so it was more lively. Their speed was also very fast.
The fastest was Gao Fei. He was almost done. The things he made were the simplest and took the least time.
Gao Fei was making the shredded yam. Before he put it on the plate, a sweet smell had already swept through the whole place.
"Judges, I'm done," Gao Fei deliberately looked at Qin Hua and Yuan Zhou before shouting.
He indeed regarded Qin Hua as his biggest opponent and Yuan Zhou as his second.
Obviously, Gao Fei had some misunderstanding about his own strength.
When Xiao Li saw that Gao Fei was done, she immediately asked the waiter to take the dishes away for the judges to taste.
For the convenience of tasting, the dishes were placed in five snow-white small plates. In each small plate, Gao Fei placed three pieces of yam cut with a hob, with some sesame seeds on top. The black sesame seeds formed a sharp contrast with the yellow persimmon color.
There wasn't much food, so a waitress was arranged. She was a beautiful young lady. She carried a tray and placed five small plates on it.
Clang!
The young lady placed the five plates in front of the five judges and quickly left.
As for Gao Fei, he began to feel a little nervous when the dishes were placed in front of the judges. After all, this was the moment that would decide his fate. It was no exaggeration to say that the silver spoon had a unique symbolic meaning in Shandong Cuisine.
This shredded yam didn't disgrace Gao Fei's reputation of being able to "overturn the pot and overturn the sea". The yam was wrapped in a very even layer of sugar, making it look like it was wearing a light yellow coat. Contrasting with the slightly burnt yam inside, the color was very good.
"Let's have a try," Zhou Shijie said straightforwardly.
He picked up the chopsticks and intended to pick up a piece of yam to have a try. After Zhou Shijie made his move, the others also began to do the same.
"Si La"
After picking up a piece of yam, a shiny sugar thread was pulled out. There was a distance of about one meter from the table to the mouth, but the sugar thread was very tough and didn't break.
Ka Ca!
The first thing he bit was the layer of sugar coating on the outside, followed by the soft yam. Because the yam was fried in oil beforehand, in addition to the crispness of the sugar coating, the outer layer of the yam was also a little crispy. Then, the soft and soft texture was followed by the soft texture. It was worthy of being the best dessert on the table. The taste was quite good.
"The taste is not bad. It's crispy and sweet. Not bad." Head Chef Zhuang nodded his head while eating. Obviously, he was quite satisfied with this dish.
Next to him, Head Chef Mai was also quite satisfied with this dish.
Zhou Shijie, Head Chef Wang and Head Chef Yue, who were the first to eat, didn't say anything. Instead, they ate up all the three pieces of yam in the plate habitually. Then, they looked at the sesame seeds and the sugar paste in the plate and fell silent.
Honestly speaking, Gao Fei's cooking skills were really good. However, he couldn't stand the fact that Zhou Shijie, Head Chef Wang and Head Chef Yue had all gone to The Kitchen God to eat this dish cooked by Yuan Zhou.
At that time, what left a deep impression on them was that the shredded yam carried out by Yuan Zhou was extremely hot. If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Zhou had prepared a bowl of cold water and told them to rinse it before eating, their mouths would probably have blistered from the heat. Secondly, the plate was as white as new after eating it. It wasn't because they had licked it, but because it was like that after eating it.
Therefore, the three of them felt that Gao Fei's shredded yam didn't meet their expectations.
In fact, it was really bullying to compare the food cooked by Yuan Zhou with that of Gao Fei.
The scoring mode of the Silver Spoon Evaluation Conference was different from that of ordinary cooking competitions. In the first round, no matter how many people there were, only two contestants would be selected for the second round. There was no scoring. The judges would directly try all the dishes and then make their choice. It could be said that the rules were very arbitrary.
"Not bad, not bad." Seeing the expressions of the five judges, Gao Fei felt that they should be satisfied, so he was temporarily relieved.
The dishes that needed to show the fire skill were basically not Kung Fu dishes. The next one to finish was definitely Yuan Zhou. If it weren't for the fact that he had to wait for a while to process the pork belly and chicken gizzards, he would definitely be the first one to finish. After all, one person could compete with a team of chefs.
"Judges, I'm done here." Yuan Zhou raised his hand and said.
In front of him were five small plates arranged in a row. The ones he chose were those dark brown coarse porcelain plates. The coarse grain was not as fine as fine porcelain, but it was very suitable against the snow-white and red.
As usual, it was the young lady who came over with a tray. She carefully placed the five plates on the tray and carried it to the rostrum.
The red and white on each plate were clearly distinguished. One side was red and the other was white. The boundary between the two was very clear. And the most amazing thing was that there was only one piece of red and one piece of white. There was nothing else.
"This is too little," Head Chef Wang couldn't help but mutter.
"Your eyes are really bad. Look carefully. This knife skill is really amazing," Head Chef Yue couldn't help but rebuke. Of course, his head could almost reach into the plate.
Hearing Head Chef Yue's reminder, not only Head Chef Wang, but also Head Chef Zhuang and Head Chef Mai moved closer to take a look.
Only then did they realize that there was actually more than one piece. Judging from the thickness, it didn't feel like there was only one piece.
Therefore, when the plate was brought over, the first thing Zhou Shijie did was to use his chopsticks to move the white and red pieces. Then, like a fan, the two pieces slowly spread out and covered the entire plate. Of course, they were still clearly separated.
When the other four saw Zhou Shijie's action, they couldn't help but imitate him. Then, they witnessed the moment of a miracle. It was really spreading out.
"Doesn't this look like a camellia?" Head Chef Mai looked at the scattered pork belly and chicken gizzards on the plate hesitantly.
Actually, Head Chef Mai could be more confident and remove it from the plate.
