Chef system

Under everyone's gaze, Yang Chen walked slowly to the contestant's platform, and seeing Shen Mengting in the crowd, his eyes lit up.

"I didn't expect Mengting to come, so I can't lose today." Yang Chen secretly made up his mind.

He looked at Cui Yuhao again, and saw that the latter was tall and tall, wearing a chef's uniform, with a neutral appearance, and a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, which made people want to go up to him. punch.

"You are Yang Chen, you are finally willing to come out, I thought you wouldn't dare to compete with me in cooking!" Cui Yuhao said sarcastically.

Yang Chen glanced at Cui Yuhao, "It's already so late, let's not talk nonsense, how do you want to compare?"

Cui Yuhao shrugged, "As you wish."

"Time is tight, so let's decide the winner with one dish!" Yang Chen said casually.

"Then let's do it like this!" Cui Yuhao didn't care, in his opinion, no matter how the competition was done, Yang Chen would undoubtedly lose.

After confirming the rules, the host announced the start of the competition. The two went into the kitchen, and the audience and judges outside started talking.

"Who do you think will win this game?"

"This... After all, Yang Chen is from our country, and I really hope that he can win. But with Cui Yuhao's record here, there is very little hope of winning!"

"Yang Chen is still young after all, it's already pretty good for him to participate in the competition."

"This Cui Yuhao is really bullying the little ones. He is already the champion of the Yingzhou Food Contest. He even came to our little Binhai City to make trouble!"

……

Everyone talked a lot, although they admired Yang Chen's courage of not being afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, but they didn't have much hope for the result of this competition.

"I believe that Yang Chen will definitely win." A voice suddenly slanted in from the side.

A few people looked back, and it was a pretty girl who was talking, and they suddenly laughed, "Little girl, it's a good thing that you have confidence in Yang Chen. But there is a difference in cooking skills, no matter how confident you are in him, it's a good thing." It's useless!"

It was Shen Mengting who spoke, she had a firm face, and said sternly: "Yang Chen will never lose."

Seeing Shen Mengting's appearance, several people also stopped trying to persuade her, but were infected by her, and gained two points of confidence out of thin air.

Cui Yuhao was in the kitchen at this time, looking at the dazzling array of ingredients in front of him, with a smug smile on his face, "Since this is the last game, then I will completely defeat you with the food you are proud of."

After nearly an hour, his dishes were ready first.

Seeing Cui Yuhao's dishes, all the judges' eyelids twitched, and secretly thought that he was so crazy that he even made a national traditional famous dish to slap the national food circle in the face.

"Judges, please have a taste, this is the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall I specially prepared for you." Cui Yuhao said with a smile.

Jiang Chengren and Wang Nianhua looked at each other helplessly.

Wang Nianhua picked up the spoon first, took a sip, twitched his brows, and praised: "This Buddha jumps over the wall, the soup is thick and brown, thick but not greasy, rotten but not rotten, and the taste is endless. It is definitely the authentic one. .A Buddha Tiaoqiang can be made within an hour, and it must be stewed over high heat. I thought there would be some deviation in the taste, but I didn’t expect this method to make such an authentic Buddha Tiaoqiang.”

Jiang Chengren nodded in agreement, "Being able to make this bowl of Buddha jumping over the wall, Cui Yuhao's control over the heat has reached a peak."

"It seems that Cui Yuhao has already shown his top level. In this game, Yang Chen deserved to lose." Wang Nianhua said, "I am going to give 100 points to this Buddha jumping over the wall. What about you, Old Jiang?"

"Give it 99 points! After all, although this bowl of Buddha Tiaoqiang is extremely authentic, the stewing time is too short, and the taste is still a bit thin." Jiang Chengren commented quietly.

Wang Nianhua smiled, everyone has different tastes, he likes the Buddha Jumping Wall which is not so strong, Jiang Chengren likes the stronger one, it is normal to give 99 points.

"Old Jiang, you are going to lose this bet!" Wang Nianhua said.

Although Yang Chen's dishes also reached a high score of 99 points when he evaluated the Michelin restaurant for Chen Guang Hotel.But at that time, Yang Chen was the only one making the selection, but now he is competing with Cui Yuhao, the evaluation criteria have changed a lot.

In the past, as long as the dishes reached a certain standard, they could get a high score, but now that Cui Yuhao's gems are in front, if Yang Chen's level is not up to the standard, the score will definitely be lower.

In Wang Nianhua's personal opinion, although the few dishes Yang Chen cooked last time were already top-notch, they were still a bit behind compared to Cui Yuhao's.

Jiang Chengren stared at Wang Nianhua, "You made the bet just now, but I didn't agree."

"Old Jiang, you have to keep your word! We haven't seen each other for so many years, I have to see if your cooking has improved." Wang Nianhua said with a big smile.

Jiang Chengren sighed, knowing that his old friend wanted to use this incident to divert his attention.After all, the Binhai Food Association was defeated by Cui Yuhao, how could he feel better.

There was a helpless smile on his face, and he replied: "Okay! After the game is over, I'll cook some dishes for you, and let's have a good drink."

"Then it's settled." Wang Nianhua laughed.

"This Cui Yuhao is well-deserved!" Wang Nianhua praised, "It seems that the Buddha jumped the wall just now, and he should have shot with all his strength. But in this way, I am looking forward to what kind of dishes Yang Chen can make. No matter what Said, Yang Chen's own cooking skills are not weak, maybe he can bring us surprises."

Jiang Chengren smiled slightly, Cui Yuhao is too strong, it is impossible to beat him, now he only looks at this game with the mentality of a judge, and suddenly feels a lot easier.

"Hearing what you said, I have some expectations." Jiang Chengren said.

After waiting for another half an hour, Yang Chen's dishes were served.Everyone was stunned when they saw what was inside the big steamer.

There was a sneer on Cui Yuhao's face, and he said contemptuously: "You know you can't beat me, so you made this kind of thing to make a sensation?"

"Yang Chen, for such an important match, how do you... make zongzi?" Shen Guozhong twitched his face, and said while holding back his anger.

Yang Chen was calm and composed, "That's right, I just made zongzi. This is the bamboo leaf zongzi I just learned from Daqing Village, and it tastes very good."

Wang Nianhua and other judges also looked at each other, and he couldn't help asking: "Yang Chen, did you serve the wrong food?"

"That's right, I will use this zongzi to defeat Cui Yuhao." Yang Chen said quietly.

"Zongzi! Haha... Zongzi!"

Li Changquan saw this scene on the live broadcast, and immediately burst into laughter, "Is this Yang Chen crazy? Do you think you can defeat Cui Yuhao with rice dumplings?"

Surprised, unbelievable, and afterwards, whether it was the judges present or the netizens watching the live broadcast, they all felt absurd.

Could it be that Yang Chen thought that he could defeat famous chef Cui Yuhao's Buddha Jumping Over the Wall just with this ordinary-looking zongzi?

Wang Nianhua looked helpless, and reconfirmed: "Do you really want to use this rice dumpling to compare with Cui Yuhao's Buddha Jumping over the Wall?"

"of course."

"Okay!" Wang Nianhua saw that Yang Chen insisted, so he had no choice but to ask the waiter to distribute the zongzi to the judges.

Although it was an ordinary zongzi, Wang Nianhua still observed it carefully in line with professionalism.

"This zongzi seems to be wrapped with bamboo leaves, so it should be from this bamboo leaf zongzi!"

Wang Nianhua said, peeling off the bamboo leaves on the outside, a faint fragrance escaped from the rice dumpling inside, the tip of his nose moved slightly, and a strange color appeared on his face, "This fragrance is a bit special! It's a bit like..."

"It smells like grass." Jiang Chengren said, "This smell is similar to the smell in the woods after it rains."

"Yes, this is the scent."

Wang Nianhua nodded in agreement, and immediately became interested.This kind of scent is different from the scent of ordinary food, it is elegant and refined, if there is nothing there, if someone who doesn't know smells it, they will definitely not think that the scent is a kind of food, but a special kind of vegetation.

He has been in the industry for so many years, and there are very few chefs who can make food smell like this.

"The color of this zongzi is also very crystal clear, and it is dyed light blue by the bamboo leaves, which looks pleasing to the eye." Wang Nianhua said with a smile, and when he spread the zongzi, he saw that all the rice grains inside were of the same color, not only The outermost layer was blue, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"The color and appearance are not bad. It can be said that it is close to perfection. It depends on the taste?"

As long as the taste is not bad, you can probably get a score of more than 90 points. Although it is still far behind Cui Yuhao's Buddha Jumping Wall, it is still considered a good level.

"Seeing how confident you are, how are the seeds you make different from others?"

Wang Nianhua tried to eat a small mouthful of zongzi, but fell silent for a while.

Jiang Chengren looked puzzled, not knowing what Wang Nianhua was up to, so he also took a bite, and fell silent, eating the rice dumplings with a sullen face.

For a while, all the judges fell silent and ate zongzi silently.

"What's the trick?" Cui Yuhao glanced at Yang Chen, "It's just a zongzi, what's there to eat? Are these judges crazy?"

"Gone?"

One of the judges suddenly said in surprise that before he knew it, he had already eaten a zongzi, and it was only at this time that he suddenly came over.

Not only him, almost all the judges reacted in the same way.Even Wang Nianhua, the most senior, was so engrossed in eating zongzi that he forgot to savor the taste of zongzi.

No, you can't say that.

It should be immersed in the taste of zongzi, thinking that I am a diner, and forgetting the responsibility of being a judge at this time.

"This zongzi..." Wang Nianhua said with a tangled expression, "It feels a bit strange!"

Jiang Chengren nodded in agreement, looked at Yang Chen, and asked, "What's the matter with you, rice dumpling? Why does it taste different from other dishes?"

Yang Chen smiled slightly, and said: "This rice dumpling is indeed a little different, and I actually don't quite understand it. But if I have to say it, I think this bamboo leaf rice dumpling can activate the most instinctive appetite, giving people a feeling of wanting to eat it." The feeling of eating."

Wang Nianhua looked surprised, "From what you said, it seems to be true. Can you tell me how you did it?"

Yang Chen was not stingy, and said: "I think it's mainly the bamboo leaves that wrap the zongzi. I brought this kind of bamboo leaves from Daqing Village, and it's called big-leaf bamboo."

"Big-leaf bamboo?" Wang Nianhua was thoughtful, "This big-leaf bamboo is also very common. It's not that I haven't seen someone use this kind of bamboo leaves to make zongzi, but I'm still the first to be able to make something like yours." See you for the first time."

Cui Yuhao looked at the few people talking as if no one was there, and he felt inexplicably annoyed, and said dissatisfiedly, "Can we announce the scores of this competition?"
