Chapter 252 The First Game

The male and female hosts on the stage stabilized the high emotions of the peripheral audience, and then solemnly introduced the information of the five judges.

The first introduction is the three members of the Ito family, nothing more than introducing their identities.

Ito Ginnosuke had a more serious expression, bowed slightly, and said in fluent Chinese, "I stayed in China for two years before, and I really like this country, especially Chinese cuisine. I am honored to be able to take on this role this time." As the judges of the cooking competition, I hereby solemnly announce that the hotel that wins the cooking competition will get the right to settle in Japanese food from Ito Company."

After finishing speaking, Ito Ginnosuke bowed slightly again.

Koji Ito and Masami Ito, both of whom could not speak Chinese, bowed slightly with a smile, and said at the same time in Japanese, "Please give me your advice."

Bai Xiaobai was shocked when he watched these judges speak in the rest area.

Frankly speaking, in the food competition of Huaxia Kingdom, no matter how good the judges' food tasting ability is, many of the judges will put on a high-level attitude of food experts, giving people a sense of distance that is unattainable.

But these Japanese judges are really humble and polite, giving people a special sense of intimacy, and to a certain extent, virtually eliminating cultural barriers.

The male and female hosts continued to introduce the remaining two judges.

The uncle wearing a Japanese-style chef's uniform, named Ichiro Watanabe, listened to the host's simple translation introduction.

He is a well-known local chef in Saitama Prefecture, the capital of the East. He is proficient in Japanese food. He is not only good at blowfish dishes, but also makes good sushi. He has won the championship of the Japan International Sushi Cup Competition.

In private, Watanabe Ichiro also likes Chinese cuisine very much. This is his first time to come to China and he is very excited. At the same time, he humbly admits that in addition to serving as a judge to taste food, he also came to observe and learn Chinese cuisine. Please give me some advice.

As for the young beauty judge, her name is very nice, her name is Sachiko Nohara, and she is a well-known senior food judge in Saitama County, the capital of east China.

Because of her keen sense of taste, Nohara Sachiko was rated as a gourmet princess by the locals. According to the host’s translation, besides Japanese food, her favorite foreign food is Chinese cuisine. She also expressed that she likes Chinese culture very much, and she is still working hard to learn Chinese food. Calligraphy and Chinese language.

During the conversation with the host, Sachiko Nohara looked excited, and finally said in a very shy and half blunt Huaxia language that she was very happy to come to Huaxia and hoped to taste delicious Chinese cuisine today, and then said thank you twice, He bowed slightly at 30 degrees.

It was the first time to face Japanese people at such a close distance, Bai Xiaobai felt that they were still very humble and polite, smiling all the time, including the three members of the Ito family, after they finished speaking, they would bow slightly at 30 degrees to express their respect Respect for this cooking competition.

After introducing the five judges, the hostess said, "We would like to thank the five judges from Japan Benzene. Next, we will invite Mr. Chen from Haochuang Hotel and Mr. Li from Hengyuan Hotel to deliver the opening speech of the cooking competition, and Call the game to begin."

The cooking competition process is relatively formal.

Mr. Chen from Haochuang Hotel and Mr. Li from Hengyuan Hotel made speeches successively.

Bai Xiaobai didn't want to listen to what he said. It was nothing more than an official thank you to the city government for providing the competition venue and security assistance. Finally, he thanked the judges for being here... and so on.

However, Mr. Li of Hengyuan seemed quite confident in his speech, saying that his team will go all out in this game and is bound to win.

In the face of provocations, Mr. Chen of Haochuang did not show weakness, and vowed to declare that this culinary competition is sure to win, and invite those who came to watch the competition to be witnesses.

In short, there is no competition yet, and the stage is already full of gunpowder.

One can imagine how fierce the next game will be.

After finishing their speeches, Mr. Chen and Mr. Li announced the official start of the competition together, and then they returned to their seats and sat in the judges' seats.

It's no wonder that there are seven seats in the judging panel. It turned out that Mr. Chen and Mr. Li from Hengyuan were also seated to watch.

The five Japanese judges have already taken the correspondingly marked seats.

As for the stove in the competition area, the two contestants for the first competition were already in place.

The male host on the stage announced loudly, "The first match has officially begun. Master Yang Huaizhong sent by Haochuang Hotel will face Master Li Maoren from Hengyuan Hotel. The match has officially begun."

As the moderator begins the password.

Both Yang Huaizhong and Li Maoren quickly started cooking the food.

The culinary competition is to cook a Chinese delicacy within half an hour.

In fact, there is still enough time. If you just cook a simple home-cooked dish, the time is more than enough.

However, this is considered a professional cooking competition, and Yang Huaizhong's dishes are not home-cooked, so it takes a lot of effort to prepare them.

In fact, Yang Huaizhong originally decided to make sea cucumbers with abalone sauce, but Ito nano has special requirements. In order to test the chef's real skills, the ingredients must be unprocessed beforehand, so the ingredients must be checked before entering the venue.

Sea cucumber with abalone sauce is delicious, but it takes a lot of work to make.

One is that abalone juice is very labor-intensive to make, and it takes hours to hang the soup alone.

In addition, it takes at least 24 hours to dry the dried sea cucumbers. During this period, the water needs to be changed and cleaned, which is very cumbersome.

It is impossible for this delicacy to be completed in this competition, so Yang Huaizhong had to give up this dish, after much deliberation, he finally replaced it with steamed turbot.

Cooking steamed turbot is time-saving, but because there is no assistant, Yang Huaizhong has to do the washing and cutting of the ingredients by himself, and there are many details in the cooking, so it consumes a lot of time, and 30 minutes is barely enough.

When Yang Huaizhong was cooking the ingredients, Li Maoren on the stove opposite him showed a *smile.

"Old man Yang, you have the nerve to serve something like steamed turbot, but you underestimate me too much. You are bound to lose this game."

With a dark smile, Li Maoren took out a bag of flour, scooped out an appropriate amount of flour, began to add water, and quickly kneaded the dough.

……

In the rest area, Bai Xiaobai didn't play with his mobile phone either, he concentrated on watching the first game.

From Yang Huaizhong's selection of ingredients, most of his delicacies are steamed turbot.

Bai Xiaobai is fairly well-informed.The meat of turbot is white and tender, and it is mostly produced in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangdong. The steaming method can maximize the nutrition and taste of turbot.

Therefore, steamed turbot is the most common way to eat in Guangdong Province, and it can be regarded as an authentic delicacy.

After this delicacy is finished, it has a strong fish aroma, delicious meat, and tender taste. Bai Xiaobai once ate it in a hotel, and the taste is still unforgettable.

Steamed turbot fish with chopsticks, dipped in light and delicious sauce, the taste is so good that there is nothing to say, because of the excellent taste, this delicacy is also enthusiastically sought after by the majority of food lovers.

However, steamed turbot is easy to learn and difficult to master, especially for the chef's high firework requirements.

The steaming process is very critical. How to keep the fish fully cooked and at the same time maintain a fresh and tender taste.

If the time is wrong, if it is not steamed all at once, return to the pot and continue to steam again, then the tenderness of the fish itself will easily be completely lost.

However, if the steaming time is too long, the fish meat will become old easily, and the freshness and sweetness of the fish meat will be completely evaporated with the water vapor, and the taste will be completely reduced. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a complete failure.
