Chef system

After tense and fierce qualifiers, the top 250 eight top chefs in China were finally selected from thousands of outstanding chefs.In the next ten days, we will select the champion of this food competition through eight rounds of competition.I hope that all the top chefs can give us a wonderful culinary competition, showing the heritage of country H as a food powerhouse. "

"Next, I announce the official start of the 26th National Food Competition of Country H."

"Now I am announcing the competition rules of this food competition. The rules this time are different from those of previous competitions. In order to show your culinary skills as much as possible, the competition time of this competition is extremely wide. Within hours, show your cooking skills to the maximum. Then a total of 73 top judges from all provinces and cities across the country will rate the masterpieces of each contestant. In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, each competition will be judged by two judges At the same time, the contestants can eat the food of their opponents. If there is any objection to the score, the nine chief judges can make an evaluation, deduct the highest and lowest scores, and then take the average score."

"As for the chefs of the four Michelin three-star restaurants, please be patient and appreciate the culinary skills of the contestants. After the first few rounds of competition, they will directly participate in the final eight."

"The above are the rules of the game. Do you have any objections?"

Naturally, no one has any objections, the rules of the competition are similar every year.

"However, this year is more focused on high-quality dishes than in previous years." Yang Chen secretly thought that he had learned about the previous competition rules of the National Food Competition, which was to make at least two dishes within the specified time.But this year, the contestants were given two hours to cook a dish, which can be said to be an extremely loose competition rule.Under this rule, it is extremely beneficial to those professional chefs, but the kind of many but not professional chefs has a great disadvantage in this competition.

Judging from past experience, this gourmet competition almost represents the direction of domestic gourmet development.Since this competition formulates such rules, it is very likely that the domestic catering industry will follow the boutique route in the future.

"Since there is no objection, let's start the first part of the competition, matching opponents." After the host finished speaking, a large number of names were drawn across the huge electronic screen behind him. After a short period of matching, the names of 64 contestants appeared on the screen. above the big screen.

The host looked at the big screen and said loudly: "Then please invite the contestants whose names appear on the big screen to come on stage."

Soon, 64 chefs left their seats, and each chef was carrying a bag, which seemed to be his usual kitchen utensils.

After the contestants came to the stage, they each walked to the stove they assigned. There were two small tables next to the stove, and two judges were sitting on them.

"Every contestant on the stage, the booklet on the stove will prepare the details of the ingredients and seasonings for you this time. Please choose the ingredients and hand the booklet to the staff. The staff will send the ingredients to you within 5 minutes. You. At the same time, in order to save time, the time for selecting ingredients is limited to 5 minutes."

After hearing the host's words, the contestants did not dare to neglect and focused on the ingredients.Yang Chen's eyes are sharp, and he can see clearly. The test thickness of the ingredients recorded in this book is about five millimeters, and the types of ingredients recorded are probably no less than a thousand.If you turn over one by one, you can't finish reading in 5 minutes.This also means that the draft must be prepared before the competition, and what ingredients and seasonings are needed for the kind of dishes that will be cooked later.

Many chefs in the field showed two different states. Some of them didn't read the brochures. They called the staff over and made a list of the ingredients they needed for them to deliver. They looked confident look.

As for some other chefs, they turned over a list of ingredients in their hands, but they still couldn’t find the ingredients they wanted. Seeing the time getting closer, they were sweating profusely, and finally had no choice but to choose a few ingredients at random, and then Hand the brochure to the staff.

The host saw that the time to choose the ingredients was over, and immediately said: "Okay, the time to choose the ingredients has come. All contestants, please hand over the booklets to the staff, otherwise you will lose the qualification for the competition."

"At the same time, please ask the staff to bring up the ingredients needed by the players as soon as possible."

The host glanced at the many chefs on the field, and said with a smile: "All the contestants are top chefs from all over the country. Their culinary skills must not be underestimated. I really want to know what kind of food you can bring to us. A gluttonous feast."

"Until now, I didn't feel the benefits of being a food host." The host pretended to pause and said, "That is the opportunity to taste the craftsmanship of top chefs."

"But of course, it's better to be alone than to have fun together. In order to express our gratitude to the audience, after each competition, we will select ten audience members to come on stage to taste the skills of famous chefs."

The host smiled and said: "So this is going to trouble the chefs. If possible, try to make as much as possible, so that everyone can taste it."

As the host said, the ingredients were quickly brought up by the staff, such as chicken, duck, fish, vegetables, seafood, seasonings... all kinds of things were dazzling, and it almost caught the eyes of many viewers. Where did you get so many complete ingredients.

Seeing that many chefs began to check the ingredients, the host said in a timely manner: "These ingredients are all provided by the green food company. All of them are the top ingredients in the industry. While retaining the freshness and taste of the ingredients, no chemical substances are used. , so that you can cook comfortably and eat with confidence."

For this competition, the sponsor invited many kitchen-related companies to sponsor it.

The ingredients are provided by a green food company, and the portable range hood is provided by a top domestic kitchen appliance manufacturer. As for the stove, plates, chopsticks, etc., they also belong to different companies.

As the top competition in the initial solution, it enjoys a high reputation in the food industry. It is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to sponsor this competition, which has excellent advertising benefits.

Soon, after the chefs finished inspecting the ingredients, the host announced the start of the competition.

Yang Chen looked at the bustling chefs below, and focused his attention on Shu Qiming. Shu Qiming seemed to be unlucky. He was selected to be on stage in the first competition, so it was easier to expose his details in front of everyone.

Although he was far away, Yang Chen's eyesight was outstanding, and it was no different from seeing it in front of him.

"Fish, parsley, ginger, garlic..." Yang Chen looked at the ingredients Shu Qiming had chosen, and couldn't help thinking: "Could it be that he wants to make a piece of braised fish?"

"If that's the case, he must be too confident!"

Yang Chen sighed, and glanced to the side, only to see that Wu Bin took out a telescope at some point, and was looking at the center of the arena with the binoculars.

……

Yang Chen didn't expect Wu Bin to bring a telescope here, but after thinking about it, this is indeed a good way to observe the opponent's strength.Not everyone has such good influence as him. If you face a strong opponent and get the intelligence of the opponent, you can at least know what you are doing.

Sure enough, when I looked at the contestants next to me, I saw a lot of chefs took out binoculars to observe, and these people looked calm, as if they were used to it.

"This Shu Qiming is really crazy. It looks like he is going to make a bowl of braised fish." Guo Shihao looked at it for a while, then suddenly said with a sneer.

Yang Chen looked over, and saw that Shu Qiming skillfully started a series of actions such as scraping fish scales and cutting them into pieces.Obviously, as they said before, Shu Qiming was indeed planning to make a braised fish nugget.

"Shu Qiming's arrogance is not without reason. Your worthy opponent, a little-known little chef, has some strength, but compared with Shu Qiming, a direct descendant of a chef family like Shu Qiming, it is still not enough." Wu Bin said with a smile, "It's only the first round of the competition. It's undoubtedly unwise to expose one's strength prematurely. In this case, why not make a bowl of braised fish nuggets, which is simple and convenient."

Guo Shihao shook his head, "Of course I know this truth. But seeing Shu Qiming's way of looking at people with his nostrils, I feel very upset. If you meet me on the field, you must let him know what a real chef is." Don’t think that you can represent the orthodox cuisine of our H country after learning the old-fashioned dishes that are well hidden at home.”

Hearing Guo Shihao's tone, Yang Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange, and asked, "Master Guo, did this Shu Qiming have a feud with you before?"

Guo Shihao snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Not only did you have a festival with me, but you also had a festival with almost all the chefs. It seems that you don't pay much attention to food shows, Master Yang. This Shu Qiming was interviewed by the Food Storm column group before." , Keep talking about the authentic cuisine of country H, and devalue our restaurants as worthless."

"There's such a thing?" Yang Chen looked surprised, he didn't expect that Shu Qiming really liked to speak wildly, and he dared to say such things on TV in front of the people of the whole country. It's no wonder that Guo Shihao wasn't angry.

Wu Bin sighed, "But no matter what, others have this qualification after all."

"Qualifications?" Guo Shihao smiled disdainfully, "What qualifications do you have, isn't it just that you have some broken recipes at home? It's such an era now, the information age emphasizes openness and innovation, and it will be over sooner or later like their Shu family. His cooking skills are not bad, he can win the national food competition, but in his generation, he is destined to miss the championship of the food competition."

As Guo Shihao said, he poked Qi Chuanyi who had been sitting next to him playing with his mobile phone, "Even if we can't win against Shu Qiming, with Master Xue around, how can Shu Qiming have any reason to win?"

After being stabbed by Guo Shihao, Qi Chuanyi came back to his senses this time, looked away from the phone, looked left and right, with a smile on his face, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Eh..." Guo Shihao suddenly looked embarrassed, patted Qi Chuanyi on the shoulder, and advised: "Although the mobile phone is a good thing, but you can't keep looking at it. Chefs are physical labor, so you need to exercise more!"

Qi Chuanyi put away his mobile phone, smiled, and said, "Master Guo, I have a measure."

Several people chatted for a while and expressed their views on this competition. Soon, Shu Qiming was the first to cook the dishes.Sure enough, as several people expected, it was indeed a bowl of braised fish nuggets.
