The host's presence was indeed very low. Even the start of the competition was announced by Zhang Yan.
As an official cooking competition, there was naturally a host, even though he didn't have the chance to announce the start.
However, after receiving the money, there were still things to do. For example, the hostesses were currently serving dishes to the judges' table under the host's instructions.
Speaking of which, it seemed like the hostesses didn't need the host's instructions to serve the dishes themselves … Alright, the truth shouldn't be said blindly.
"In terms of speed, it seems like our Boss Yuan is still better," the host finally said.
"However, on the other side, the representatives of the seafood alliance didn't want to be outdone either. They sped up. It seems like the last dish is the cooperation of the two head chefs. It's almost done," the host said as he circled around the two cooking stations.
The cameras also followed him. When everyone's gazes left, Chef Li could still maintain his composure with a smile, but Ao Pi couldn't. He frowned.
"Are the last two dishes done?" Ao Pi turned and asked softly.
Chef Li remained calm. "Don't rush us. We have already lost in speed. Let's make it better and win in taste."
His words calmed the restless chefs of the seafood alliance. After all, Chef Li was the backbone of the alliance. After all, he was the one who invited Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie and organized such a big competition.
That's right. Although Zhong Lili had sent an invitation card to all the chefs, she wouldn't explain the origin of this competition. Naturally, it became a beautiful misunderstanding.
Originally, the seafood alliance had seven dishes. The three complicated dishes were the first to be completed. The remaining four were relatively simple. For example, the Salad Conch could be completed in less than a minute.
"Is the red ginseng done?" the head chef urged.
"Yes, it's done. The Salad Conch will be done soon," a sous-chef answered immediately.
Five minutes after Yuan Zhou was done, the seafood alliance also finished their dishes and served them together.
Of course, the seafood alliance's dishes were placed in a straight line.
Chef Li's Fragrant Spicy Prawns and Ao Pi and Head Chef Zuo's Rolling Crab Dumplings were naturally placed in the middle.
As soon as the dishes were served, Chef Li immediately raised his hand to signal that his side was done.
The host had good eyesight. "It seems like our seafood alliance has also finished their dishes. Their speed is almost the same."
"Yes." Chef Li nodded confidently.
"Alright. Let's invite our waitresses to serve our dishes and place them together with Boss Yuan's," the host said.
Only when the dishes were served did the four judges stand up to look at the dishes.
"It seems that even though there are so many people here, they are still slower than Boss Yuan." A reporter discussed in a low voice, "That's why it's said that more people will make things more chaotic."
"That's true. But I heard that Boss Yuan is good at speed. It depends on the taste." "But I heard that Boss Yuan is good at speed. to. to of to to Boss Yuan's speed, Boss Yuan's taste," a reporter said.
"Aren't we here today to advertise for the Exemplary Restaurant of Sichuan Cuisine?" a reporter said in a low voice after looking at Yuan Zhou.
"Don't say that. Maybe there'll be a twist. That'll be good news."
Quite a number of reporters were waiting for a reversal on the scene. They didn't really want Yuan Zhou to lose, but they simply wanted to make a big news. What they thought in their heart was one thing, but what they said was another.
Hence, the reporter who said that was looked down upon by the other reporters.
"No matter what, reporters should focus on truth. Even if Boss Yuan wins, we'll have a good story to write about. I've already thought of a topic," a reporter said confidently.
Actually, most of these reporters were invited by Zhou Shijie. Some were invited by Hu Yue, the chief editor of Food Discovery Dog.
The seafood alliance's doubt was a slap to his face. Naturally, he had to make these people famous.
Since the reporters were invited by Zhou Shijie and Yuan Zhou was close to Zhou Shijie, they were naturally here to report on Yuan Zhou.
Naturally, he was here to report on Yuan Zhou. The reporter knew clearly in his heart, but he also wanted to make a big news. Therefore, he tried various ways to get information from Bai Xiaoxiao.
After all, Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie were two extremely protective presidents. What other reason could there be for them to create such a big event?
"Since Head Chef Yuan Zhou made it first, I suggest we start with Head Chef Yuan's dish," Wang Xiang suggested.
"If we eat Head Chef Yuan's dish before trying the seafood alliance's dish, it'll be cold by then," Bai Xiaoxiao said hesitantly.
"Let's start with Head Chef Yuan's dish," Zhou Shijie made the final decision. Bai Xiaoxiao was indeed a problem. Hence, they had to be careful.
"That should be the case," Zhang Yan was the first to agree.
"As expected of someone who frequently hosts such meetings. You're very experienced," Bai Xiaoxiao praised.
"Let's start with the Pepper Prawns," Wang Xiang said as he pointed at the prawns in the middle of the table.
That's right. Since the dishes were the same, the waitresses placed the dishes on both sides of the table.
In other words, the dishes on both sides of the table were the same.
This was done under the direction of the host. To be honest, what was the point of having a host? They even had to pay him extra.
"I want to try this prawn as well. It looks pretty good," Bai Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
After the four of them decided, the etiquette lady put a crawling prawn on each of their plates.
Yuan Zhou's prawn had a bright red shell with red chili flecks on it. More importantly, none of the claws on the prawn were missing.
"It looks like every claw is intact?" Bai Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully.
If they were all placed on one plate, one would only feel that the arrangement was beautiful and the color combination would be very appetizing.
But when one took out a claw, one would realize that the claw of the prawn was intact.
The abdomen of the prawn was wide and had six segments. Each segment had a pair of small claws. A prawn had about 20 pairs of claws.
Bai Xiaoxiao could see the claws more clearly after he picked them up with the chopsticks. He became even more astonished.
"Yes, they are indeed intact. Awesome." As a seafood chef, Wang Xiang naturally felt how awesome Yuan Zhou's skill was.
"That's what I should do," Zhou Shijie said with an indifferent tone as if he didn't care too much about it.
Of course, the complacency on Zhou Shijie's face wasn't so obvious.
When they saw the appearance of the prawn, they were all astonished. Zhang Yan, however, didn't say anything and directly started to eat.
With a light sound of "Ka La", the carapace of the six segments of the abdomen was peeled off by Zhang Yan.
"I didn't expect Chairman Zhang to be so good at peeling the prawn," Wang Xiang said.
"It's not that I'm good at it," Zhang Yan calmed himself down and said with an indifferent expression.
Wang Xiang was puzzled, but he didn't say anything because Zhang Yan had already started to eat.
Soon, however, he didn't feel strange anymore. He just used the chopsticks to pick the meat and the carapace of the six segments of the abdomen was peeled off completely.
"This?" Wang Xiang looked at Bai Xiaoxiao's bowl at the side in surprise.
At the same time, Bai Xiaoxiao happened to pick off the shell. Then, Wang Xiang had a guess.
"Did he peel off the shell in advance? I'm afraid it won't taste good anymore, "Bai Xiaoxiao knitted his brows.
Bai Xiaoxiao wasn't a chef, so he didn't notice the fat of the light green prawn meat on the surface. Instead, he was worried that opening the shell in advance would affect the juice loss of the prawn meat and make it less delicious.
While speaking, Bai Xiaoxiao reached out his chopsticks and started to pick up the thick crawling prawn meat with the shrimp paste.
The meat of the crawling prawn wasn't like other prawns. It was very difficult to peel it off completely. Besides, the shrimp paste was harder and didn't taste as delicious as the lake crab.
Therefore, Bai Xiaoxiao didn't like eating the shrimp paste of the crawling prawn.
But now that he was a judge, Bai Xiaoxiao decided to try it casually.
Bai Xiaoxiao directly picked up half of the shrimp paste with his chopsticks. It was a pure golden color and the granules could be seen. It looked a little rough like other prawn pastes.
"Huh?" Bai Xiaoxiao immediately opened his eyes wide when he put it into his mouth.
"It's surprisingly not rough at all. What a fragrant shrimp paste," Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say.
The shrimp paste in his mouth was hard. Bai Xiaoxiao bit it and it broke apart with a grainy texture. When he chewed it again, the shrimp paste immediately emitted an amazing fragrance.
Moreover, due to the rough texture, the more he chewed, the more fragrant the shrimp paste became. It was like eating a salted duck egg that was marinated well. Once it was peeled off, oil would flow out of the egg yolk. The fragrance was rich and delicious. Moreover, there was a freshness that the duck egg yolk didn't have.
Such a feeling made Bai Xiaoxiao ignore his guess that the prawn meat wasn't tasty. He finished the shrimp paste in a few bites and started to eat the prawn meat.
