Slightly different from squirrel mandarin fish, sweet and sour fish does not need to use too much oil for a good shape because it does not have a knife, just fry the surface of the fish until golden.

Because the surface is coated with a thin layer of starch, the color of the finished product will look better.

This process has high requirements on the heat. The surface of the fish must be golden, but the skin of the fish must not be broken, and the fish inside must be cooked.

Shi Chengyan didn't dare to slack off, and put his hand on the top of the pot from time to time to feel the temperature in the pot.

Because it took nearly 10 minutes to process the fish and other ingredients, Shi Chengyan didn't dare to go too slow.

Although I have never made sweet and sour fish, I have fried fish before, and the final product is very good. The skin of the fish is golden yellow. Drain the oil and let it sit for a while before serving the fish. When it is inside the plate, you will find that the fish skin on the outside is even slightly crunchy, which is because it is coated with starch.

After the fish is fried, Shi Chengyan still dare not relax in the process of preparing the sweet and sour sauce.

He has never made this kind of sweet and sour sauce before, and there are actually many ways to make it. The main ingredients provided by the program group are sugar, balsamic vinegar and tomato sauce.

In fact, the sweet and sour taste mainly comes from two common seasonings in the kitchen. The main reason for using tomato sauce is also very simple. For the aesthetics of the finished product, in fact, the taste of tomato sauce can hardly be tasted after it is finally cooked. up.

Add a little gravy to the almost fried sauce to increase the thickness of the sauce, and then take advantage of the temperature of the sauce to evenly pour it on the fried fish. At this time, the fish is not completely cooled.

It's also a sweet food, but in terms of specific taste and color, it looks very different from the braised pork that Shi Chengyan made before.

Braised pork and other thick red sauce, but the color of this sweet and sour fish is bright, it smells slightly sour, and the state of the sauce looks just right, hanging evenly on the fish without flowing quickly to the middle of the plate.

Even Shi Chengyan felt a little relieved after seeing the finished product.

What's more, the system gave this dish an A score, that is to say, it is a standard senior chef level, and the overall situation is not too serious.

However, the scoring standards of the system and the judges are different. The standard of the system scoring is whether this is a delicious dish, while the scoring of the judges is consistent with the standard required by the question.

Although it is the first time to make it, there is no problem in terms of color and aroma. Now we will see how the specific taste is.

After actually making it, Shi Chengyan also had to sigh with emotion. Although this is a dish that he has never cooked before, it seems that it is not as difficult as he imagined to cook this sweet and sour fish after learning so many Shandong cuisines.

For example, when making sauce, there is also a step of frying sugar. This is something Shi Chengyan is very familiar with, and it is very smooth to make.

After the finished sweet and sour fish was brought into the judging room, Shi Chengyan put his heart back in his stomach. Anyway, the taste has become a foregone conclusion, and there is no way to change it.Now just wait for a result.

After all, it will not be unpalatable. For a culinary competition, the biggest demerit points are undoubtedly the food is not cooked and a dark dish is made. At present, he is sure that he will not touch these two things.

The question he is thinking about now is more practical, that is, can he try this dish later, after all, it is the first time for him to make this kind of food, and he is really curious about the taste of the finished product.

But one thing he can be sure of is that it tastes different from the finished product under normal circumstances.

Or how to say that if you want to completely restore a dish, you have to rely on multiple connections. Sometimes some subtle differences in seasoning ingredients can have a great impact on the taste.

Just when Shi Chengyan was wandering around in Taixu in order to divert his attention, the infield host suddenly notified him to enter the judging room.

Usually at this time, it is hard to say whether it is a good thing or not. Shi Chengyan discovered it when she was sitting outside and watching. Usually, the reason why she was called in by the judges was to arouse the judges' curiosity.

Of course, this curiosity has both positive and negative aspects.

Shi Chengyan was a little apprehensive, but he put his mind back a little bit considering the proportions he had just seasoned the sauce.

He still has confidence in his seasoning ability, not to mention that he did more research on the combination of various basic seasonings when he followed the teaching video to learn "cold salad". He doesn't think the taste of the finished product will be difficult. Eat to arouse the curiosity of the judges.

So when he entered the judge's room under the eyes of his fellow contestants, his state was quite stable.

"Do you know why we called you here?"

One of the judges asked directly.

Shi Chengyan is still very impressed with this judge named Luan Xiangming. This judge is very good at Anhui cuisine, but this is not the reason why Shi Chengyan is so impressed with this judge in this program.

In fact, not only Shi Chengyan was impressed by this judge, most of the contestants should remember him.

Because this judge is really good at making variety show effects, every time he speaks, he always makes the contestants feel very uneasy. It is difficult for the contestants to know whether he is saying good things or criticizing until the last sentence.

Master Cheng Yan said: "Is there any problem with the taste of this sweet and sour fish?"

Luan Xiangming stared at him for a while, but he didn't answer his words. Instead, he changed the subject and continued to ask, "Why did you come to participate in this competition?"

This is another trick, Zuo Guyan said some other topics that the audience would be interested in, so that the contestants can't completely let go of their hearts, and then they will give the contestants a good time.

This actually caught Shi Chengyan's question. The main reason is of course the main task of the system, but this obviously cannot be said.

Shi Chengyan thought about it, and told the truth directly: "The prize money for this competition is quite high, and I have never participated in similar competitions before, so I am quite curious."

Whether it is the judges or the players in the waiting area watching the live broadcast, this answer is more than unexpected. After all, there are still many people who take the honest route these days, and the generous ones are indeed not as good as some pretentious people who want to cover up.

"I read from the information that you have only changed your career to become a chef for half a year. It seems that the past six months should be quite fulfilling."

"Fortunately."

"Have you ever made this dish before?"

"Doing it for the first time."

"That's no wonder..."

Luan Xiangming stopped suddenly in the middle of his speech, whetting everyone's appetite. After a while, Fu Zhongyuan stood up and continued with his words: "The heat of this sweet and sour fish and the color of the sauce are still the same. It’s very good, that’s the taste, it’s a little different, you can come and taste it yourself.”

This was exactly what Shi Chengyan wanted, and he didn't panic because of what the judges said. He took the chopsticks and went to the stage to try it.

He was curious about the taste of this dish when it was just out of the pan.

He picked up the fish meat with chopsticks, there were not too many fish bones, and some sauce was dipped from the plate. He first put it in front of his nose and smelled it carefully. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the smell, he put it in his mouth.

He knew where the problem was at the entrance.

Although it smells quite sour, it is not so obvious when you taste it. Although you can still taste sour and sweet, the taste of the two is not balanced, and the overall taste is sweet.

Of course, it’s not unpalatable to eat, and even for those who like sweets, this sweet and sour ratio is more palatable, but this is a competition after all, and this will definitely affect the score.

"Do you know where the problem is now?" Fu Zhongyuan asked.

Shi Chengyan put down his chopsticks, nodded, and said, "The vinegar was placed early, and the sour smell evaporated a lot later, but it was covered by the tomato sauce, so it was not obvious."

Although the tomato sauce is said to be sweet and sour, it is actually sweet.

"It's good to know where the problem is. Your dish is not bad on the whole. Needless to say, the appearance is very appetizing. Although the taste is different from the original one, it tastes good. It is still very good, but overall there is still room for improvement." Fu Zhongyuan made a direct summary.

That's all for the sake of it, if Shi Chengyan didn't know that he was not called in to talk about him but to give him advice, he would have spent so many years in the entertainment industry in vain.

"Thank you for the pointers from the judges and teachers. I will practice this dish more when I go back."

Shi Chengyan's words are not perfunctory to the judges, he is like this himself, he usually makes the system score the new dishes that are at the limit of his current ability, and only then continues to learn new dishes.

In the end, Shi Chengyan scored 91.3 points, which is a full 1.2 points less than the previous round, but Shi Chengyan did not panic, because most of the players who have already competed in this round have dropped by 2-3 His average score is about [-] points, which is still relatively low. After this calculation, his average score is still a little bit ahead.

It can be seen that the lottery selection process is the same pitfall for all players, and the pressure on the latter players will only be greater. Shi Chengyan feels that the possibility of having to participate in the knockout round is relatively low.

After returning to the waiting room, even a big heart like Shi Chengyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

During the whole process today, what he was most worried about was not his own performance, but his fish. After all, the former was under his control, while the latter was simply resigned to fate!

"You have only changed your career for half a year. I think you really don't look like cooking!" Yang Youyou, the girl sitting next to him, said in amazement when she saw him come back.

Yang Youyou is not the only one who thinks this way, it's just that she asked.

For cooking, talent is important, but the hard work itself will not be reduced by talent, just like the sweet and sour fish Shi Chengyan tried today, there are skills, but if you want to cook it perfectly, you still need to try more .

As the judges commented, his life in the past six months has indeed become extremely fulfilling because of his career change, especially compared to the previous aimless life.

Today's recording ended later than yesterday, because the dishes were selected by lottery, so there were indeed more dishes than the first round that made the judges more eager to talk, so when the final results were announced, it was already It was about eleven o'clock in the evening.

The contestants who had been drowsy from sitting in the waiting room until their waists ached and their backs ached suddenly woke up, and everyone was staring at the big screen.

However, the big screen is still appetizing. The ranking scrolls down in order from front to back. Not only the ranking is displayed on the top, but also the results of the two rounds and the combined total score are displayed.

As the rankings scrolled backward one by one, the contestants who saw their names instantly felt relieved, while those who did not see their names became more and more anxious as they went forward.

However, seeing the scores of the previous players, most people already know the scores in their hearts at this time. The players who are really nervous are those players who are about seventy or eighty.

Of course, Shi Chengyan was not among them. He did some calculations, and this round he played fairly steadily. He should be able to maintain the previous ranking, and even go up two more counterattacks.

As for Xue Zhen not keeping his No.1 in the first round, the ranking was suddenly dropped by five places by the braised prawns, and now he is No.6.

However, he didn't become anxious because of this. In the final analysis, he had confidence in his own strength.

The fact is that, as chefs judged by the system to be senior chefs, whether it is Xue Zhen or Shi Chengyan, although they have drawn dishes that they are not good at this round, they have stabilized without major overturns. Like some players, they even made dark dishes directly on the scene of the competition.

Shi Chengyan was a little pleasantly surprised to find that he had already reached No. 20, that is to say, he had climbed up another nine ranks.

No matter what new tricks the program group will come up with later, anyway, Shi Chengyan is currently on a relatively good forward trend.

It can only be said that although luck is also a part of strength, it is still not as good as real cooking skills.

Starting from No.80, all subsequent players were eliminated, and the atmosphere in the entire lounge became a little dignified for a while.

Although everyone just sat in the same room for two days, that is, chatted about various cooking-related content for two days, but in this parting atmosphere, it is inevitable that they will be infected.

However, Shi Chengyan was not very used to this kind of scene, so he didn't join in.

However, he didn't refuse when an eliminated contestant offered to hug him, but he just patted him on the back as a comfort without saying much.

When they finally returned to the hotel, it was almost twelve o'clock. Fortunately, tomorrow and the next two days will be holidays, and they can decide their own itinerary, instead of getting up so early like today.

"I don't know what harm the program team will think of next time to torment us!" Xue Zhen sighed while lying on the bed.

Shi Chengyan smiled, and said: "If you don't make troubles, then you won't be in this program group!"

"It can only be said that this is too much effort for the ratings. We are a program that does not pay much attention to the ratings and broadcast volume. We have to come up with so many tricks. As the one who is tossed, it is really a headache. ah!"

"It's good to get used to it, the promotional period may be even more tossing!"

"Forget it, don't think so much, let's go with the program group! I'll go back tomorrow to get my clothes, and by the way, I'll cram for the next two days and learn more about different cuisines. Are you going back?"

"I'll go back too. It's not like you don't know that I'm very good at cramming."

And it works great every time!

Around the time of recording at the vegetable market today, the program team also found that everyone wearing uniform chef uniforms would indeed affect the recognition of the contestants on certain occasions, so the program team gave two days off, and at the same time let the contestants During the period, prepare some private clothes that are more convenient for movement, and you may have the opportunity to wear them on some subsequent occasions.

Every time I see the program group changing all kinds of unreasonable details quickly, Shi Chengyan will feel emotional, if many crews or program groups in the industry have the serious attitude of this half-baked program group, the program and the drama will not Rotten like that!

The next day, Shi Chengyan and Xue Zhen, who had already formed their biological clocks, did not go to bed too late, and returned to Chengluju at about ten o'clock. This time was also the busiest time for Chengluju. Chef uniforms go to the back kitchen to help.

"Not to mention, sitting in the studio all day long, I really want to exercise my muscles and bones. Today, I see iron pots are much more friendly!" Xue Zhen sighed while cooking.

Everyone else in the back kitchen couldn't help laughing.

"Xiaoyan, your drama will be aired tonight, watch TV with me at that time!" Shi Qingya suddenly said to Shi Chengyan after laughing.

Shi Chengyan: Why can't you laugh all of a sudden?

In fact, the main reason is that watching the TV series I acted with others will be a little bit awkward, but the better point is that, if there is no accident, there should be no role for him in the first few episodes... right?

The specific master Chengyan is not very clear, anyway, no one will contact him after the filming is over, and he doesn't know how many roles he has left.

He didn't care but he got used to it anyway, as long as the salary is in place in the end.

----

At eight o'clock in the evening, everyone in Chengluju was sitting in front of the TV.

Shi Chengyan didn't want to disappoint the old man, Yang Zhiyu was used to being shared by the old man in the plays played by Shi Chengyan, and as for Xue Zhen...that was pure uneasiness and kindness.
