Food starts with noodles

Xu Zhuo suddenly felt that this person was quite interesting.

He said solemnly: "A woman who doesn't sweat well means that she doesn't use much cosmetics. If she puts on too much cosmetics, the sweat she sweats is indeed fragrant."

"why?"

"Because it's well-marinated...meat will taste better if it's well-marinated, and the same goes for people."

This time, it was Guo Xingwang's turn to be speechless.

"Seriously, is this really the right thing to do?"

Xu Zhuo nodded: "Smear the soft-shelled turtle inside and out with bile, which can effectively remove the fishy smell. If there is nothing wrong with making braised soft-shelled turtle, if it is stewed, it is best to smear it like this. The stewed soft-shelled turtle will taste better. Soup There will be no fishy smell of soft-shelled turtles."

Guo Xingwang was dubious, but he didn't stop Xu Zhuo now.

After smearing, Xu Zhuo washed the soft-shelled turtle with clean water after standing for about 10 minutes, and then handed it over to Guo Xingwang.

"Okay, the rest depends on what you do."

Guo Xingwang looked inside and out, and after recalling the slaughtering method, he fished out a soft-shelled turtle from the pool, and prepared to slaughter it with the method taught by Xu Zhuo.

But he was busy for a long time, not only did not kill the turtle, on the contrary, he was bitten by the turtle again.

Xu Zhuo helped him to do it helplessly, pointing out step by step the main points of slaughtering the turtle.

"Who killed this turtle? It's not bad, it's quite clean, and...it seems to have been smeared with bile. This is definitely an expert."

The person who had just arranged the work came over, took a look at the turtle that Xu Zhuo had slaughtered, smelled it, and couldn't help but praise it.

He originally thought it was Guo Xingwang who killed him, but seeing Guo Xingwang's clumsy method...

He fixed his eyes on Xu Zhuo: "You killed it?"

Guo Xingwang came over and said, "His family is in the aquaculture business. Killing soft-shelled turtles is quicker than cutting nails. From now on, he can slaughter all the soft-shelled turtles in our shop."

The man had a weird expression, he looked Xu Zhuo up and down and asked, "What's your relationship with my master?"

Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter."

"He just called and asked you to represent the main store of Wangyuelou to participate in tomorrow's Anhui cuisine competition... Do you really know how to cook Anhui cuisine?"

Xu Zhuo nodded subconsciously, then shook his head randomly: "Why did Grandpa Guo say that?"

"I don't know either. I still gritted my teeth when I said it. I don't know what's going on."

This made Xu Zhuo a little puzzled, but think about the grandfather who likes to poke things...

He took out his mobile phone and just wanted to ask the old man what was going on.

I saw the old man frolicking in the group he built when he went to Yangcheng.

"Do you still remember Guo Shuying? His mind is as small as the tip of a needle. Before I even yelled at him, he turned against me and planned to make Xiaozhuo make a fool of himself in the Anhui cuisine competition. Isn't that a joke? Xiaozhuo's cooking skills , can something go wrong?"

Well, I understand what's going on.

He really wanted to tell the old man, before you pretend to be aggressive, can you say hello to me?

But thinking about the cooking skills I have mastered, and thinking about the competition system of the Anhui Cuisine Competition, it should not be difficult.

And even if he participates, he is still participating in the apprentice group.

They are all young people in their twenties, who can surpass themselves in cooking...

Not much.

In addition, he still has the hole card of Huangshan Stewed Pigeon.

I'm so anxious to sacrifice this dish, it should be able to get a good ranking.

After agreeing, Guo Shuying's apprentice stuffed a competition guide and admission pass, and left in a hurry.

Xu Zhuo took this entry guide and began to study the competition schedule.

The competition is divided into apprentice group, chef group and head chef group.

The apprentice and head chef Xu Zhuo understood.

After all, this is inheritance, and there must be young people participating.

The chef's participation is mainly to gain the opportunity to be taught by Guo Shuying. In addition, he can also make a name for himself in the Anhui cuisine circle. Whether it is job-hopping or asking for a salary increase, it is relatively easy.

What Xu Zhuo didn't understand was, how did the head chef participate in the competition, and what did they compare to?

Is it for a group of chefs with varying levels of skill and management?

I don't know much about Guo Shuying's operation.

"Wow, the audition will be held tomorrow morning, and the semi-finals will be held in the afternoon... Can you sell aquatic products? You won't be eliminated in the first round, right?"

Guo Xingwang snatched the competition straight man from Xu Zhuo and watched it several times.

Obviously, he really wanted to participate in this competition.

It's just that he hasn't touched cooking until now, so Wangyuelou will never release him to destroy the reputation of the store that has accumulated over the years.

"Xingwang, what was in the audition competition last year?"

Xu Zhuo took a look at the rules, first there was the audition, and after 100 people were selected by the audition, the primary election would be held.

After the primary election, there are 70 people left, and then they will be divided into ten groups for group competition.

There are two rounds in the group competition. The first round is the knockout round. Five people in each group will be eliminated, and the remaining five people will compete again. No.1 in the group will directly qualify for the top [-].

The remaining four will compete with other groups for the remaining ten seats in the top [-].

After the top [-] are selected, it will be the [-] to [-] trials.

Then it will go to the final stage.

Xu Zhuo's goal is to be the top ten, so that he won't embarrass the old man, and won't steal the limelight from the heirs of Anhui cuisine.

He calculated that starting from the knockout stage, he would go through the preliminary round, two rounds of the group stage, and the final top ten stage.

At least five matches are required.

And the Anhui cuisine skills I have mastered...

In addition to a Huangshan stewed pigeon, there is only pickled stinky mandarin fish left.

Other skills are from other cuisines.

But the good news is that many of the cooking skills he has mastered are cross-cuisine.

And now the boundaries of cuisines are becoming more and more blurred, as long as you don't cook other cuisines, it's not a big problem.

"The subject of Anhui cuisine audition has always been knife skills, but it doesn't matter what to cut. Last year it was radish, and the year before last it was dried fragrant... If you can't do it, I can replace it for you."

"No need, my knife skills are so-so and passable."

From then on, Xu Zhuo continued to help in the back kitchen.

It wasn't until dark, after Yu Keke and Guo Shanshan came back, that he quietly left the kitchen.

The three of them wandered out, went to a hotel not far away, and met Meng Liwei and Zhou Wen.

"Sister Wen, I miss you so much."

Guo Shanshan knew Zhou Wen, and rushed over as soon as they met, and buried her face in Zhou Wen's "chest".

Zhou Wen was not used to it, and pushed her away blushing.

After releasing Zhou Wen, Guo Shanshan said with reminiscence: "There is no such thing as quiet time, but someone carries the weight for you to move forward. Sister Wen, I also want to carry the weight to move forward. Do you have any secrets?"

Chapter 679

Zhou Wen was speechless. In the past, it was Yu Keke and Sun Panpan who pestered her to ask about breast enlargement tips, but now there was Guo Shanshan.

However, this is natural, and she doesn't want to be like this.

If possible, she would rather trade with someone else.

"Where to eat? What to eat?"

Meng Liwei was more practical, especially now that it was dinner time, he didn't eat the dinner provided by the organizer, but planned to follow Xu Zhuo to have a good look around.

Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke have been posting food in Moments these days.

This moved him too.

Especially after eating two box lunches on the high-speed rail at noon, this kind of thinking is even stronger.

Xu Zhuo glanced at Guo Shanshan: "If you want to eat delicious food here, you must go to Wangyuelou. She is the leader here. Let's go, let's go to the big family today."

But they said so, but a few people didn't go, because all the dignified people in the organizer were eating on the first floor, and they didn't want to join in the fun.

Under the leadership of Guo Shanshan, they found a small restaurant in a remote location, ordered a table of authentic Anhui cuisine, and had a delicious meal.

Then we went to enjoy the night view on the Antique Street, and then we dispersed.

Early the next morning, Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke got up to wash up, had breakfast in the store, and then got into Guo Shanshan's car and went to the competition venue.

The venue of the Anhui Cuisine Competition used to be in a park, but this year the sponsors were more powerful, so it was directly set up in a small square at the end of Antique Street.

When the three of them came in, they found that the entire small square was full of people.

There are local residents, and there are also tourists who come to travel on May Day.

In the crowd, there were quite a few people holding DVs or cameras, shooting videos as they walked.

Xu Zhuo even recognized several UP owners of station B.

He asked Yu Keke curiously: "There are a lot of people at station B, why didn't you invite you?"

Yu Keke yawned: "I'm invited, but I'm too lazy to participate in this kind of event, so I declined, and I won't give you any money. At most, I will provide you with board and lodging. It's not interesting."

It's really boring, and it's not convenient to follow them, so don't join in the fun.

At the entrance, Xu Zhuo took out the admission pass given yesterday.

It is said to be a document, but it is actually just a piece of paper.

After all, it's an audition, so you don't need to prepare too much.

According to Guo Xingwang's introduction, more than 70.00% of the people will be eliminated in the annual audition. If the number of participants is large, this percentage will be even higher.

This year is May [-]st, and the organizers are not short of money. Not only have they invited various media, but they have also carried out in-depth cooperation with several online platforms.

Therefore, the contestants are naturally much taller than usual.

At the entrance, after Xu Zhuo registered, he received a number plate, number 299.

After receiving the number plate, Xu Zhuo entered the reserve area in the arena and waited for the start of the game.

There are a hundred tables in the arena, each table is one meter apart, and there are ten middle-aged men in referee uniforms, holding a notebook, and they are discussing something together at the moment.

The first round of audition is very simple. They will select the contestants they are satisfied with according to their performance when chopping vegetables, and then give them a pass.

"nervous?"

Yu Keke stood outside the fence and asked Xu Zhuo.

Xu Zhuo smiled and shook his head: "It's just chopping vegetables, nothing to be nervous about."

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the game started, but there were some processes such as speeches in front of it.

Xu Zhuo was a bit bored sitting in the reserve area.

Guo Shuying was still talking about efficiency, half an hour later, the audition officially started.

100 people enter each time, if someone is absent or withdraws, one person will be delayed.

When the contestants entered the arena, Xu Zhuo saw that they each took one from the aisle...

cucumber.

He froze for a moment, a little surprised.

Isn't this a sub-question?

It's time for the coir raincoat and cucumber to appear again, isn't it?

He eagerly waited, the next round would be his own game, and he would definitely cut out the coir raincoat and cucumber, making him a blockbuster.
