Chapter 302 Let's Make Braised Pork

The competition site was set in the banquet hall of Tianrun Hotel. When Yang Zhengdong arrived, there were already no empty seats.

There are a lot of media in the auditorium, and even the OB van of the TV station is parked outside, with all kinds of long guns and short cannons set up there.

It seems that this competition is still highly valued by the Hong Kong Island side. Like the previous life, the competitions of various variety shows are still unattractive. Who would watch this kind of cooking competition?

Ma Qianli took Yang Zhengdong to the competition area, found a seat in the Red Mansion Hotel and sat down.

Next to it was Tianrun, and at this time, Mr. Shen and Fatty Guo were also sitting there. Seeing Yang Zhengdong approaching, Fatty Guo kept winking, and Yang Zhengdong couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

This apprentice seems to have received...

It's a bit out of tune!
There are people in their twenties, how come they look like a grandson.

The other time was at the Douglas Hotel. The head chef was a foreigner in his 40s. With a look of arrogance on his face, he saw Yang Zhengdong looking over, nodded slightly, and then went directly to the competition stage.

Next to Douglas was the Xianheng Hotel, where the Beggar Chef was still dozing off listlessly.

And Zheng Ke, the owner of the Xianheng Hotel, glanced over from time to time, looking at Tianrun and the Red House competition team viciously.

Yang Zhengdong shook his head, and he didn't want to look at this person. It is estimated that Zheng Ke has some psychological problems. Otherwise, there is no one who has held grudges for hundreds of years, and came here to take revenge with great fanfare.

It's not a TV show.

As for?
Turning his head to look at the other side, Yang Zhengdong couldn't help but see that the chef of [Zhou Ji Beef Noodles] was still the girl named Zhou Haiyang, wearing a tight-fitting chef's uniform, sitting there completely highlighted her good figure.

Although Yang Zhengdong didn't have any thoughts about him, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Not to mention, this female chef is really charming in a chef's uniform.

Zhou Haiyang probably sensed that someone was watching, so he turned his head and met Yang Zhengdong's gaze.

Yang Zhengdong couldn't help but blushed a little, and nodded to him with a smile.

Seeing a young man looking at her, the girl blushed immediately, her eyes kept dodging, and she quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at him anymore, which made Yang Zhengdong a little embarrassed.

I guess the girls have to treat him as a hooligan?

Teacher Yang is just pure appreciation, okay?
After rubbing his nose, Yang Zhengdong didn't look around, mainly because there was nothing interesting about the remaining Guangdong Hotel.

The chef is an old man no younger than Old Shen, and the assistants are all middle-aged people in their 50s and [-]s, and there is nothing to look at.

After a while, a person who may be the host of ceremonies came to the stage and announced the start of the game, and then there were various speeches in the routine, firstly, the attending leaders from Hong Kong Island came up and gave a speech.

He didn't know what kind of official he was, anyway, they were all high-sounding words, nothing more than everyone working together to build Hong Kong Island, spreading food into the lives of the people of Hong Kong Island through competitions, etc. Yang Zhengdong was drowsy when he heard it.

Wherever they go, these people talk in the same way, just like the smelly and long encouragement speech given by the principal every time a freshman enters school.

As for how much the people below can listen to, only God knows.

Later, two more leaders of the association came to speak on the stage, with almost the same tone. This time, not only Yang Zhengdong, but the others seemed not very interested, and the beggar chef was almost asleep.

In the end, an old man from the Hong Kong Island Restaurant and Hotel Association came to the stage. He was dressed in a Chinese classical costume. After he went up, he tapped on the microphone and put away the manuscript in his hand.

Yang Zhengdong felt a little interesting, the old man might have to say something different.

"Hi everyone! Everyone should know me by now, so I won't introduce myself anymore. I'm here today to announce something. This culinary competition on Hong Kong Island has been held for hundreds of years. It has a long history. Over the years, many potential hotels have been discovered, and many new dishes have been born here, which can be said to have promoted the development of the restaurant and hotel industry on Hong Kong Island. But times are changing, and our competition is today, promoting innovation and integration. The role has become smaller and smaller, and the future development of the catering industry still depends on the choice of the market and the evaluation of consumers, so this competition will also be the last! This is also for the better development of our industry, After all, the quality of a hotel’s dishes is judged by consumers, not by a game. Although it’s a bit sad, this is the choice of the market, and it’s also the choice of consumers. I hope everyone can be determined in the future Unswerving innovation, let more people get happiness in food, this is what we practitioners should do. That's all I have to say, let's start the competition!"

No one expected that the old man would announce such a news when he came to the stage. Immediately, everyone in the audience started whispering. Yang Zhengdong looked at the old man who was sitting back in the judges' seat, and couldn't help but nodded in praise in his heart.

In fact, it is not a good way for the catering industry to rely on competitions to define territory!

A hundred years ago, when there was an invasion of foreign enemies, it was understandable to report to the group to keep warm. However, in this prosperous environment, it is definitely out of date to stick to the old rules and engage in competitions.

Besides, consumers will also change with time, and their demand for food will change, and the diversity of choices will be the trend in the future.

Moreover, as far as the industry is concerned, it is only when a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend that progress can be made. What is a real competition?

Yang Zhengdong looked around, and the expressions of several participating units were also different. Ma Qianli and Guo Huaian didn't know if they had received the news in advance, but they didn't respond, and their expressions were very indifferent.

It is estimated that it is also because the cooperation between the two companies has been reached, and they have confidence in their hearts.

Besides, the Hong Kong Island market is no longer the most important market. The two of them have already set their sights on the entire Blue Star, and they don't take it too seriously about whether the competition will be held.

But Zheng Ke at the Xianheng Hotel was a little anxious. This man has been preparing for revenge for a hundred years.

It is planned to make a blockbuster through the competition and return the Xianheng Hotel to Hong Kong Island again.

This is not the game he is the least happy.

Others, such as Guangdong Hotel, are also a little uneasy. These people are used to relying on competitions to carve out territory. If there are no competitions in the future, they can only win by word of mouth.

What to do?How to fight?
I do not know!

The media people in the auditorium were a little excited. This news was much more sensational than reporting on the competition. Nowadays, people seldom pay attention to this kind of food competition. Only those who are old will talk about how interesting the competition is.

Young man, who is going to see this?

It's better to go to a food stall to have a refreshing meal. After all, not everyone can afford to participate in these hotels for the competition.

If you have the spare time to drool in front of the TV, how can you call your friends and friends to relax and feel comfortable?
"Mr. Dong also said just now that the catering industry on Hong Kong Island needs a hundred schools of thought to contend and a hundred flowers to bloom. The performance of the market needs to be verified by consumers. This also proposes a new direction for the development of our Hong Kong Island catering industry. This is also what the times mean to us. However, this game still has to be compared, and now I announce that this game has officially started!"

"I won't repeat the rules. You may be more familiar with the rules of the game than I am. We all know that cooking is a reasonable selection and deployment of ingredients, so that they can become the best food for color, aroma, taste, shape, quality and nutrition. Meals and dishes that are beautiful, safe and harmless, conducive to absorption, beneficial to people’s health, and strong in human physique. In addition to these basic requirements, innovation must also be emphasized, which is also the expectation of all judges for the industry. Therefore, the topic of our competition this time is [New], the general tone requires that the dishes must be new dishes. Innovation will be our requirement in the future. Of course, the color, fragrance, shape and quality are also the basic requirements. The following is the proposition of the first competition. Please read the questions, oh my Haven’t opened it yet, right? You’re not looking at me, you’re looking at the screen at the back! Look, everyone, the title is [burning], which is the title of the first dish. Burning is also our traditional method, but the level of [burning] is not as good as it is. It's not easy, please choose the ingredients within 10 minutes, and then the competition time is 40 minutes, enough to [cook] a dish, remember to ask for [new]?"

The host of ceremonies walked away after finishing speaking, and the table behind was opened directly, and there were all kinds of ingredients behind, Yang Zhengdong and others also came to the stage one by one to choose the ingredients.

While observing the ingredients, everyone is wondering what kind of cooking can be cooked in 40 minutes.

"Teacher, what shall we cook?"

Chen Jiahui asked quietly beside him.

"What do you think we should do better?"

Yang Zhengdong asked with interest.

"There are so many types of cooking, I can't think of it for a while. It's really hard to choose what kind of dishes can be regarded as relatively new and eye-catching!"

Chen Jiahui said hesitantly.

"Then what's the first thing that comes to your mind when you talk about cooking?"

Yang Zhengdong asked again with a smile.

"What came to mind first? Does braised pork count?"

Chen Jiahui asked a little unconfidently.

"Isn't that enough? Let's just make braised pork! Jiahui, sometimes don't pursue perfection too much. There is no dish in the world that can stand out from the crowd! Look at 40 minutes and want to make a dish Delicate cooking is very difficult, and most people choose easy-to-cook dishes such as fish and vegetables. You often cook braised pork, and everyone eats it as an ordinary home-cooked dish, but the simpler dishes are often It is the most difficult style, but the test is the understanding of cooking skills and the grasp of the heat. Don’t go after expensive ingredients and exquisite cooking, otherwise you will fall into the bottom line. Braised pork is very good, 40 minutes That's enough, let's choose ingredients!"

Yang Zhengdong smiled and explained to Chen Jiahui.

He is an honest and hard-working apprentice, but he is often prone to fall into the trap. Every time he wants to pursue high-quality, good ingredients, and make exquisite dishes, he falls into the bottom line.

Taking this opportunity to teach on-site can be regarded as preaching and receiving karma.

"But braised pork isn't an innovative dish, is it? Isn't braised pork a long time ago?"

Chen Jiahui asked in a messy manner.

"Who said that braised pork can't be improved? Isn't improvement the same as innovation? Today I will teach you a new way of braised pork. This dish will definitely refresh your inherent concept of braised pork!"
