Food starts with noodles

Xu Zhuo took the radish leisurely, first removed the outer skin with the bone cutter in his hand, and then removed the head and tail of the radish, making the radish into a cylinder.

This is cut from the middle.

Holding a kitchen knife, he first cut the white radish into thin slices, and then shredded it.

Guo Shuying's eyes widened on the stage.

Although the distance is a bit far, he can also see that the shredded radishes that Xu Zhuo cut are of the same length.

this kid...

Not easy!

It is not difficult to shred radishes, even with a bone cutter.

The difficult thing is to cut the shredded radish into uniform lengths, and depending on his proficiency in cutting vegetables, he is very likely to be able to cut the shreds with uniform thickness.

Such craftsmanship...

Xu Jimin is so elated.

Xu Zhuo put the shredded radish into the basin for soaking.

By the way, tidy up some messy radish shreds so that all the radish shreds in the pot are placed in the same direction, and the two ends should be aligned.

This kind of operation attracted several photographers to rush over to take close-up shots.

As an apprentice, there are no bright spots.

Xu Zhuo's behavior became one of the few bright spots in today's game.

Next, Xu Zhuo cut off the coriander and put it in a small dish.

Smash the garlic with a kitchen knife, then cut into minced garlic.

Looking at the countdown, there are still seven or eight minutes left. He brought a small bowl and started to make the sauce for shredded radish salad.

This sauce is very simple, a tablespoon of white vinegar, a spoonful of sugar, a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of light soy sauce, some sesame oil and a little five-spice powder, stir well and pour in the chili oil.

In this way, the sauce for making cold shredded radish is ready.

For this dish, a little more white vinegar is needed, so that the shredded radish tastes sour, refreshing and appetizing, and has the effect of increasing appetite.

After the sauce was ready, Xu Zhuo took out the shredded white radish and began to arrange it on a plate.

The presentation is also very particular.

He aimed one end of the shredded radish at the edge of the plate, and placed the other end in the middle of the plate.

Because the shredded radish is relatively long, the middle part quickly bulges up, forming a shape with a high middle and low surroundings.

Next, he put chopped coriander in the middle, sprinkled with minced garlic, and poured the sauce.

Finally, Xu Zhuo took the fried peanuts.

Along the outer edge of the shredded radish, it was placed in a complete circle...

Chapter 684

As soon as this shape came out, everyone around took a breath of air.

The outermost circle is oily red peanuts, the middle is white shredded radish, and in the middle is chopped coriander, and on top of the chopped coriander, there is a pinch of minced garlic.

This shape, I am afraid that ordinary chefs can't do it so well.

The players around looked at Xu Zhuo with a different expression.

Some people even suspected that he was the chef of a certain restaurant, deliberately pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to gain fame.

It wasn't just these contestants who were shocked, Guo Shuying who was sitting on the rostrum didn't expect Xu Zhuo's cold salad to be so beautiful.

He even regretted it a little bit. He knew that he had put the white radish in the back.

It's just a knockout game, it's a bit overkill to make such a good dish.

The old man watching the live broadcast was so anxious that he only patted the table: "This kind of dish should be used later. It is too wasteful to use such a beautiful dish in a knockout match."

However, when he picked up his mobile phone to send a message to Yu Peiyong, he changed his tone.

"How about telling you not to worry? Xiaozhuo didn't disappoint you, did he?"

Yu Peiyong was indeed a little surprised.

However, he also felt a little sorry for Xu Zhuo's early release of such a dish: "The dish with such a good shape should be put in the back, Xiao Zhuo is still a little impatient."

The old man smiled lightly.

Although I was very anxious, I couldn't lower my compulsion.

"Don't worry, there will be surprises later."

In the end there is, he knows a fart.

If Xu Zhuo didn't make it to the top [-] in the afternoon, it would be a big deal to turn off his phone and be quiet for two days.

When this matter is over, it's time to put on a show and brag.

Whoever dares to grin half a word, don't blame me, Xu Jimin, for being unforgiving!

Xu Zhuo survived the group stage without any surprise.

His plate of shredded radish was even brought to the rostrum to be commented by a group of old people on the stage.

None of the contestants around made fun of Xu Zhuo as an idiot.

But they started making fun of the four in the same group.

When you meet such a strong competitor, I hope you don't pee your pants.

Meng Liwei sat in the media tasting booth, watched the old people on the rostrum pick up chopsticks and taste the shredded radish cold salad made by Xu Zhuo, and muttered in his mouth.

"Just a little bit, can't you leave two of us?"

After the comments were over, Xu Zhuo followed the crowd and walked out of the arena.

Next, it's time for the chef competition. Xu Zhuo didn't bother to watch it here. He accompanied Yu Keke for a stroll around Antique Street, and bought a small gift for one of his friends in Linping City, and sent it back through the store by courier. .

"The shredded radish you made is so pretty, why didn't you make it for me before?"

When Yu Keke thought of the plate of shredded radish that Xu Zhuo made just now, his mouth became a little greedy.

In her opinion, good-looking food should not taste bad.

"What's there to eat with shredded radish? It's just a shape. If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you when you get back. I can make whatever you want."

The two chatted casually while walking.

In the afternoon, the trials for the top [-] began.

"Don't be nervous, it's okay even if you don't get the first place in the group."

At the entrance, Yu Keke kissed Xu Zhuo on tiptoe, giving him love and encouragement.

Xu Zhuo entered the venue with a smile, and the venue changed again.

There are fifty stoves inside, and there is a small workbench next to the stove, on which are placed cutting boards, kitchen knives, and even seasonings.

The upgrade of configuration indicates the increase of difficulty.

In addition, there are more and more cooking techniques to be used.

It is not so easy to win the first place in the group stage.

Soon, the ingredients to be used today will be distributed.

A piece of thickened tofu.

About two catties.

"Within half an hour, use this piece of tofu to make a dish. The type of dish is free to play. Now, the competition officially begins!"

The rules of the game are simple.

But the simpler it is, the more difficult it is.

This kind of dishes that can be played freely can easily restrict everyone.

Especially in the choice of dishes, it will put everyone in a dilemma.

Whether to make simple dishes that are better at or take risks to make some difficult dishes, this choice not only made most of the contestants fall into contemplation, but Xu Zhuo was also a little embarrassed.

He can make quite a few tofu dishes.

Tofu mixed with shallots, braised tofu in soy sauce, Pingqiao tofu, potted tofu, stewed tofu...

He can make all these dishes, especially stewed tofu, which is a D-level signature dish. If he makes it, he will definitely qualify for the group stage.

But the condition of half an hour cooking time put him in a bit of a dilemma.

You can also make stewed tofu in half an hour, but the taste is not so good.

And after making that dish, it would be somewhat embarrassing if they couldn't qualify for the group stage.

But when making braised tofu...

He looked at the four people in the same group, who were all cutting tofu cubes at the moment. Judging from what they said, there was a high probability that they were going to make braised tofu.

After all, braised Anhui cuisine is a specialty, and Anhui is also a famous hometown of tofu. There are many dishes about tofu here. It is no problem for everyone to choose safe braised tofu.

or……

Take a chance?

Xu Zhuo decided to do the opposite.

When everyone in the same group was cooking hot dishes, he wanted to try a cold dish.

Well, let’s make tofu mixed with shallots taught by the old man.

If you can't get out...

That can only mean that the old man did not teach well.

It has nothing to do with my Xu Shuaibi.

After making up his mind, Xu Zhuo took a pot of water and put it on the stove to start boiling. While the water was boiling, he cut the tofu into large pieces.

After the water is ready to boil, blanch the tofu.

When he was doing this step, the others were a little curious and didn't understand what Xu Zhuo was doing.

Xu Zhuo didn't explain. After the water boiled, he put a spoonful of salt into the pot, and then put the tofu into the pot to blanch.

After blanching, he took out the tofu and went to the side dish shelf to find the side dishes he needed.

"Is he going to make... tofu mixed with shallots? Everyone cooks hot dishes, but he actually chooses a cold dish. Is he overconfident or just out of his wits?"

People around were whispering, and several old men on the rostrum were also whispering.

I don't understand why Xu Zhuo didn't cook hot dishes, but chose a cold dish that wasn't unusual.

Guo Shuying was also a little puzzled.

But thinking about Xu Zhuo's performance in the morning, he thinks that he prefers cold dishes and doesn't have much contact with hot dishes, so he chooses the home-cooked dish of tofu mixed with shallots.

However, although it is not easy to make mistakes in making this dish, it is not easy to make it outstanding.

I hope this child can bring me new surprises.

Anyway, Yu Peiyong, Dai Zhenting and Zheng Guangyao liked him very much and wanted to pass on his skills to him, so as the leader of Anhui cuisine, I naturally couldn't be stingy.

If you can train a chef who can eat all eight major cuisines...

This group of old men will naturally be famous far and wide.
