Food starts with noodles

Although he participated in the competition under the name of the main store of Mochizuki Tower.

But Xu Zhuo had a certain reputation on the Internet, and later he really got a good name, and it was revealed by everyone that he was a descendant of Shandong cuisine.

Even if the other judges don't say anything, they will definitely have opinions on Guo Shuying in their hearts.

What is your intention to let the heirs of Shandong cuisine come to smash the place of Anhui cuisine?

Therefore, retiring after entering the top ten not only saves the face of the old man and a group of old people, but also makes Guo Shuying look good. After all, this honor belongs to Wangyuelou.

Moreover, although the top ten players can leave an impression on the audience, their attention will most likely be shifted to the next schedule.

He won't be obsessed with Xu Zhuo, and he won't dig deep into Xu Zhuo's identity.

At this time last year, Boss Xu was still a noodle shop owner who went his own way and didn’t communicate with the outside world. He closed the shop as soon as he wanted to, and he didn’t think about anything.

But now, he is considering these issues for the face of the elders.

"Little clumsy has grown up..."

Yu Peiyong was in favor of Xu Zhuo's approach. He was really afraid that Xu Zhuo would get ahead, so he continued to participate in the competition regardless.

"Better than his grandpa who only wants to show off."

Dai Zhenting also liked Xu Zhuo's character, and both agreed that Xu Zhuo would retire after entering the top ten.

However, the competition between the top twenty and the top ten should not be underestimated.

If they can't enter the top ten, the so-called withdrawal to show mercy will become a unilateral embarrassment.

Yu Peiyong and Dai Zhenting don't want this to happen.

Even if the old man is afraid, he can't hold back his face.

Therefore, Xu Zhuo had to seriously compete.

There can be no indifference.

After waking up in the morning, Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke washed up, and after enjoying the breakfast in Wangyuelou, they strolled to the venue of the Top [-] competition - Jixi County Anhui Cuisine Cultural Exchange Center.

The level of the game is higher, and the venue will naturally have to be changed.

After all, outdoor venues have too many uncertainties for chefs, or indoor venues are more friendly and closer to the environment of the kitchen.

In addition, with more and more people paying attention, there is even a wave of Anhui cuisine cooking craze on the Internet.

In this case, the playing field in the small square on Fangu Street is not enough to look at.

Therefore, at the request of the organizer and Guo Shuying, the competition venue was moved overnight to the Anhui Cuisine Cultural Exchange Center in Gaoda.

When he came to the entrance of the Anhui Cuisine Cultural Exchange Center, Xu Zhuo took out his entry card, entered and sat in the designated contestant area, waiting for the competition.

Yu Keke accompanied Yu Peiyong and Dai Zhenting and sat in the first row of the audience.

"Xu Zhuo, come on!"

Meng Liwei greeted Xu Zhuo at the media tasting table.

Xu Zhuo smiled at him, and was just about to go over to have a chat, when he suddenly saw a staff member carrying several slaughtered pigeons and sending them to the temporary cold storage nearby.

This……

Is today's ingredient pigeons?

If it's really a pigeon, then don't blame me Xu Shuai for forcing it!

Chapter 687 Huangshan Stewed Pigeon

Xu Zhuo didn't ask hastily. If he wanted to compete, he had to abide by other people's rules. He was very clear about this.

Besides, even if there are pigeons as ingredients, it may not be possible to make Huangshan stewed pigeons.

Because Huangshan stewed pigeons are stewed in water, it takes at least two hours to make them. The time given by the competition is really too little.

Therefore, Xu Zhuo felt that it was better to wait and see what happened.

Don't be blindly optimistic, lest you lose face in the end.

There was still about half an hour before the game, he strolled to the media seat, and Xu Zhuo greeted a few familiar UP hosts.

Meng Liwei handed Xu Zhuo a copy of the competition regulations: "Have you read the new competition rules? They are not friendly to you."

Xu Zhuo really didn't pay attention to this matter, he took it over and read it carefully.

The top [-] in the apprentice group and the chef group have already been produced. In order to improve the excitement of the competition, the organizer announced that the two competitions will no longer overlap.

In the future, I will be compared to apprentices in the morning and chefs in the afternoon.

It is precisely because the two groups of competitions are conducted separately that the time of the two groups of competitions has been extended accordingly.

Of course, it's just that the organizer found that it attracted everyone's attention and created a hot spot effect, so they wanted to postpone this event for a few days.

Taking advantage of the peak tourist season of May Day, we should speculate on the hot spots and try to make this event a trend.

By splitting the two sets of games, the games can be stretched out for days.

This event will also attract more people's attention, and the advertisements they bundled with the event will also attract customers.

After the apprentice and master chef competitions are separated, the single competition time has also been extended.

It used to be about half an hour, but now if we do it separately, half an hour is a bit short.

It can't start at 09:30 at [-]:[-] and end at [-]:[-], right?

How does this make people live broadcast?

Moreover, in Anhui cuisine, there are many dishes that are stewed, stewed, and steamed. These dishes often take more than an hour to make. If the time is short, it will not be good at all.

Therefore, the extension of the game time this time is really good for the masters of Anhui cuisine.

It's just that Xu Zhuo, who is not very proficient in Anhui cuisine, is a bit...

"If that's the case, I'm really ready to pretend to be so aggressive today!"

After clarifying the rules, Xu Zhuo happily walked aside, his face full of anticipation.

If the competition time is long, Huangshan Stewed Pigeon can be made.

This is a D-level signature dish, not to mention the apprentice group, even the chef group, there are not many people who can make this level of dishes.

Therefore, Xu Zhuo was very determined.

This time the [-]-to-[-] trials are stable.

However, this move of his made Meng Liwei somewhat confused.

"Why is Xu Zhuo so happy? Shouldn't he feel the pressure?"

Zhou Wen also didn't understand: "Grandpa Yu came over last night and secretly gave him extra lessons, right? He is so sure, which means he is very sure. Let's wait and see."

Meng Liwei smacked his lips, he was conflicted.

I want Xu Zhuo to become a blockbuster, but if he becomes a blockbuster, he will not be able to taste the delicious food made by Xu Zhuo.

For example, yesterday's shredded radish, when it was his turn, there were only two coriander leaves left.

If Xu Zhuo made another hard dish today, it would probably not be his turn.

"Look at your greediness, let him cook for you what you want to eat when you go back, even if you are embarrassed to say, there is still sister Jiajia, she has been researching food supplements recently."

As soon as Zhou Wen mentioned Zheng Jia, Meng Liwei...

Be honest.

Soon, it was nine o'clock in the morning.

The organizer and Guo Shuying gave welcome speeches respectively. Guo Shuying also specially introduced Yu Peiyong, No.1 of Huaiyang cuisine and Dai Zhenting, the master of Zhejiang cuisine, who came to participate in the Anhui cuisine competition.

The two old men even stood up and waved to everyone.

Then, he began to talk about the history of making stews in Anhui cuisine, and then pointed out today's theme - stews.

There are many stews in Anhui cuisine. In addition to the Huangshan stewed pigeon that Xu Zhuo got, there are also a wide variety of dishes such as stewed turtle, stewed pheasant, and stewed duck.

After announcing the theme, Guo Shuying talked about the game time this morning, two and a half hours.

That is 150 minutes.

This made the top [-] contestants happy.

The longer the time, the easier it is to play the real level.

When Guo Shuying was talking about the rules of the game on stage, the staff was carrying the ingredients.

The slaughtered pigeons, chickens, ducks, soft-shelled turtles and other ingredients are placed on the shelves.

And there are more auxiliary ingredients, such as spring bamboo shoots, mushrooms, yams, etc., are very complete.

In addition to these, the organizer also prepared various soups such as thick chicken soup, clear chicken soup, big bones, and mutton soup for the convenience of the players.

In fact, if there is a competition, no matter whether it is slaughter or soup, the students should do it by themselves.

Because these are also part of cooking.

But the slaughtering process was too bloody. When the mandarin fish was slaughtered the day before yesterday, several live broadcast platforms were shut down because of the blood scenes.

So the slaughtering link was forced to be cancelled.

As for the soup, it takes too long.

For example, clear chicken soup needs at least four hours to make a base.

Boil the soup for four hours, even if the judges are patient, who in the audience will sit and wait for four hours?

Therefore, this link was also cancelled.

In this case, if you want to widen the gap with others, you have to start with seasoning and heat.

For the real masters, it's a little unfair.

But also acceptable.

How can there be any real fairness in the game?

When Guo Shuying announced the start of the competition, Xu Zhuo rushed to the shelf, snatched two slaughtered pigeons, and took a piece of yam.

It was a relief.

He has the skill of stewing pigeons in Huangshan, if he can't get the few pigeons right now, it will be a lot of fun.

After getting the two fat pigeons, Xu Zhuo took a large stew pot and took most of the clear chicken soup.

Only then did I return to my stove, ready to make Huangshan stewed pigeon.

"Peiyong, Xiao Zhuo took pigeons and yams. Is he planning to cook Huangshan stewed pigeons? Have you taught him?"

"No, I didn't even tell him how to stew in water."

The two old men in the audience looked at the ingredients that Xu Zhuo took, feeling a little nervous.

It's a little risky to challenge such a difficult dish when you come up.

In Linping City, the old man who was watching the live broadcast suddenly slapped the table, startling Feng Weiguo who was watching the live broadcast and Zhao Jinma who came from the provincial capital to join in the fun.

"There are so many ingredients not to choose, why did you choose pigeons and yams? Huangshan stewed pigeons are so difficult... Is this kid a little bit smug once the competition goes well?"

Feng Weiguo is the old man's fanboy. Hearing what he said, he nodded in agreement: "It's indeed a little risky."

Zhao Jinma has confidence in Xu Zhuo.

"Xiao Zhuo is not that reckless person, he must have his reasons for choosing these ingredients... Didn't you tell us the same thing yesterday? Why did you blow up your hair today?"

Chapter 688

At the competition site, everyone picked their favorite ingredients.

After Xu Zhuo prepared all the ingredients and seasonings he would use, he began to prepare for the Huangshan Stewed Pigeon.
