I rely on the food variety show to become popular on the Internet

Gu Bai didn't know these players very well at first, but when he was watching the match, the people watching with him knew each other, and they all started talking in low voices.

They are also players who competed on the same day as Gu Bai. With such a short time, instead of continuing to train, it is better to go to the arena to see the situation and adjust their strategies.

The other party's language happened to be Gu Baihui's foreign language, so I heard the other party say how the chef who got a low score in the competition performed in the previous rankings, and now it is considered a major loss.

Gu Bai watched the arena for a whole day, but he didn’t realize that Wang Xiuquan and Zhang Ping, who also participated in the individual competition that day, looked at him worriedly. They all participated in Gu Bai’s strategy, but what if the strategy failed? manage?

It's just that although they were worried in the bottom of their hearts, they didn't think much about it on the field. After all, if they think about it, not only will it not help Gu Bai, but it will lead to their own defeat.

Although it was the preliminary round, both Wang Xiuquan and Zhang Ping used their full strength. In the arena, they had no ability to hide their strength and could only use their full strength. Otherwise, if Zang Yishou was eliminated, it would really be What a joke.

And this kind of joke has happened before, it's okay to say that it's not exposed, but I swallow the bitterness in my stomach, but if it is exposed, it will become the laughing stock of the next session, the next session, the next session , It will even be passed on forever, until the next bigger laughing stock replaces you, and you will not be freed.

What Wang Xiuquan cooked this time was a steak, but the method was not fried, but made with the Chinese braised method, and then made with bacon and other ingredients to make a Western-style meat roll, but it tasted like sauce The taste of beef, and the little leftover meat left over from making meat rolls is minced and made into pan-fried buns, and the appearance looks like small potatoes one by one, which is very ingenious.

And Wang Xiuquan's dish really won the favor of the judges, and won the first high score in this competition, and was praised by the judges for its innovative ideas.

Although Gu Bai doesn't like to do this on the field, I have to say that Wang Xiuquan's idea is very ingenious. Although it looks like Western food, it still tastes like Huaguo. Under the taste of Chinese dishes.

But even so, Gu Bai was not going to change his mind, he left after watching for a while, he had to rest early today, after all, tomorrow is the game, he needs to take a good rest.

Talking about taking a good rest, Gu Bai went back to the teaching space to practice for a while, but he didn't practice until he was as tired as before before going to rest, but he felt a little tired and prepared to go to rest.

I don't know if it's because of the observation and study these days, but Gu Bai vaguely felt that he seemed to have seen a new path, but he still needs to experiment a little more before he knows the result.

The next day, at 08:30 in the morning, Gu Bai entered the arena in order.

The theme of the competition is different every day. The theme of previous years was a bit illusory, but this year's theme is much more solid. For example, in Gu Bai's competition, the theme is fish.

Cooking with fish is a piece of cake for a chef. Any chef can easily come up with dozens of fish-related dishes.

The ingredients prepared by the organizer are abundant, so as soon as they learned that fish was needed for the competition, all the contestants rushed into the food storage room and began to choose the ingredients they needed.

When Gu Bai saw the theme, he had already thought about what kind of fish he was going to make. Although he felt that other chefs would rarely use the ingredients he was going to use, he still quickened his pace and walked towards the ingredients room.

Gu Bai's speed is not too slow, but compared to the people who rushed over at the beginning, the speed is still a bit slower. When he arrived, some of the more popular fish, such as cod, salmon, and grouper, were almost all killed. People took it all.

However, no one came to pick up the fish in the direction Gu Bai was walking, and only Gu Bai came by himself.

Gu Bai looked at the fresh crucian carp in the water tank, and picked up a crucian carp to have a look. Although it wasn't quite yellow all over, the yellow color was quite obvious, and it was very energetic. Thinking, if Gu Bai hadn't grasped it tightly, the fish might have jumped away.

Gu Bai hesitated for a while, and finally chose to take two crucian carp. After all, there are six judges, plus the audience present, one crucian carp is still a little less.

The dish that Gu Bai is going to cook is very simple, crispy roasted crucian carp, it can be regarded as a state banquet dish, the biggest feature of this dish is that the bones are crispy and the shape is lingering.

Because crucian carp has a lot of thorns, if you don’t use the method of roasting, I’m afraid you don’t know how long it will take to spit out the thorns after eating a bite of fish.

However, even if it is grilled, if the size of the crucian carp selected does not match the heat, and the small fish bones cannot be roasted crispy, but the fish meat can also be roasted just right, and this dish is a bit of a failure.

This is Gu Bai's request for himself, but he doesn't know if other chefs request it like this.

Remove the scales and viscera of the two crucian carp, remove the fishing line, remove the black film in the belly of the fish, clean the fish, and then slash a few times on the fish at an angle. The main purpose of these knives is to give the fish It is delicious, and the temperature can penetrate into the fish better when grilling.

Don't look at the simplicity of these few knives, but if you want to make a few knives on the fish so that it can be grilled until the fish bones are crispy, these few knives are not easy to do.

Regardless of the location or depth, the chef is required to have sufficient understanding and experience of the fish under his hand, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes and the grilling is not in place.

After finishing the fish, Gu Bai began to cut the ingredients, sliced ​​scallions, sliced ​​ginger, chopped coriander, chives, and millet peppers.

After finishing these, Gu Bai started to season and marinate the fish again. In order to make the fish more tasty when grilling, marinating is also essential.

Gu Bai smeared a layer of salt on the body and belly of the fish. This layer of salt is the most basic taste of the fish. In addition, seasonings such as light soy sauce, sugar, and white wine were prepared by Gu Bai beforehand. The green onions, ginger, millet and peppers are also indispensable, and they are put into the soup bowl one by one. Gu Bai grasps them evenly with his hands, covers them with plastic wrap, and then picks up the soup bowl and walks to the ingredients room just now.

If this fish wants to be marinated deliciously, it is best to put it in the refrigerator to marinate. There is no refrigerator outside, but Gu Bai still remembers that he saw the refrigerator in the ingredients room, and it just fits in it.

Seeing Gu Bai walking towards the ingredients room with his own dishes, many people's eyes focused on him, obviously a little confused.

Even if the contestants next to him were concentrating on cooking their own dishes, but the movement on Gu Bai's side was a bit loud, he couldn't help but look over in surprise.

Originally, this surprise was only due to Gu Bai's actions, but when they noticed the dishes under the plastic wrap, someone recognized them as the most traditional Chinese dishes, and they were a little shocked.

After all, there hasn't been such a pure Chinese dish in the arena for many years, or in other words, there hasn't been a person as strong as Gu Bai for many years.

Not only the contestants were shocked, but even the judges were a little shocked when they noticed the movement here. After all, even though they were a little far away, Gu Bai's movements were too obvious, and there was a camera on the side. It's hard to get there.

To be honest, when the judges saw Gu Bai's performance, their first reaction was still a little curious. After all, the World Chef Competition has progressed to this point, and most of them are mainly Western-style meals, even if the dishes are actually the taste of their own country. However, the form of expression has changed.

Most of them are arranged in a meal-sharing system, and as for the dish made by Gu Bai, even if they haven't finished it, they can see that there is no way to share this dish, only one plate or two plates, This is very strange.

Wang Xiuquan and the others' competitions were over, and they were a little worried seeing Gu Bai's performance, and they didn't know what the jury's attitude was.

Today is Gu Bai's game, and Gu Chen, Gu Yu and Jiang Xiu also rushed to the scene. I didn't feel anything when I heard Gu Bai say that at home, but now I feel the atmosphere of the scene. Seeing Gu Bai walking against the headwinds made people very worried.

They all came, and Li Yanchuan naturally came with him, but there was also an old man who came with Li Yanchuan. The other party was Bernard, the founder of the World Chef Competition. Many staff members showed a slight smile when they saw him. Only the judges didn't notice each other's existence because they were facing the contestants.

Li Yanchuan and Bernald were not very familiar with each other at first, but they have become acquainted with each other these days, so they were able to invite each other to watch the game.

Li Yanchuan and the other party's economic status in the industry are similar, but the two people's industries are different. It's just that his industry is different from Bernard's, and it overlaps with other industries of the other party's family.

That's why we were able to get online in such a short period of time.

And Li Yanchuan and Bernard did not expect the opponent to open the back door for Gu Bai during the competition. Not to mention whether the opponent will open such a back door, even if it is opened, it will not be good for Gu Bai. It seems to increase the chance of winning the championship. hope, but it is actually planting a demon in Gu Bai's heart.

Because once this kind of thing is discovered, it will be completely discredited, and it will never be restored. Li Yanchuan has confidence in Gu Bai, so naturally he will not do this.

The reason why he approached Bernard was mainly to let the other party show a little bias, for example, to let the judges not have too much prejudice against non-international dishes. In this case, it can be regarded as reducing some obstacles for Gu Bai. But it does not affect the fairness of the game.

Even in Li Yanchuan's view, doing so is more conducive to the diversity of the World Chef Competition, because the unspoken rules in these competitions are not only limited to the performance of Huaguo chefs, chefs all over the world are more or less paid. When it comes to the limit, it's just that chefs in Southeast Asian countries have more restrictions.

While talking with Bernard, Li Yanchuan was paying attention to Gu Bai's movements. Just by looking at the ingredients prepared by Hangbi, he roughly guessed what kind of dishes Gu Bai was going to cook, because he and Gu Bai were so together. It's been a long time, and there are many dishes to eat, and it just so happens that I have eaten this dish.

Thinking of the taste of crispy roasted crucian carp, Li Yanchuan suddenly wanted to try it, because the fish meat was very fresh and tender when it was roasted, and the outermost layer of fish skin and fish meat was a little burnt, which was spicy and spicy. You can eat two crucian carp in one breath.

Although Li Yanchuan didn't speak, but from his expression, what Li Yanchuan said before, and the relationship between him and Gu Bai.

Bernard also knew about the relationship between Li Yanchuan and Gu Bai. After all, Li Yanchuan suddenly appeared in front of him, how could he not investigate, and whether the relationship between Gu Bai and Li Yanchuan was concealed was soon discovered.

Bernard is also very familiar with the current situation of the World Chef Competition, so even if Li Yanchuan didn't understand the purpose at the beginning, he quickly understood the process of watching Gu Bai's cooking.

If Li Yanchuan appeared a few years ago, after guessing his purpose, Bernard's first reaction would be to let him go, but as a person who has a soft spot for cooking, Bernard Seeing the changes in the World Chef Competition over the years, it is natural to know the problem.

Internationalization is actually a very good trend, but not all chefs follow this trend, because the more they go like this, the less distinctive they become. Not only the chefs in Southeast Asia have changed, but even the chefs in the West have changed. I am constantly making changes, changing less and less of the characteristics of domestic dishes, and absorbing a lot.

This is progress, but in a sense, it is also a kind of regression, at least in Bernard's eyes, but he thought about changing, but he has no motivation to change. There's nothing wrong with a chef competition either.

Thinking of this, Bernard glanced at Li Yanchuan, and chatted with Li Yanchuan in a low voice. If he was a passerby, he probably wouldn't be able to hear anything when he heard the conversation between the two, but standing next to them were the three of Gu Chen , even Gu Yu, who has a little less sense of business sense, feels a little bit wrong after hearing it.

This doesn't look like an ordinary chat, it seems like a business discussion.

Gu Chen glanced at the old man who was talking to Li Yanchuan, listened to the other person's name, searched on the phone, and then recognized Bernard, took a deep breath, although he didn't know what Li Yanchuan wanted to do, But he felt that Gu Bai probably didn't know.

If Li Yanchuan and Gu Bai were just friends, Gu Chen wouldn't care too much about it, but they are both fiancés. If it wasn't for Gu Yu and Jiang Xiu wanting to keep Gu Bai for a while, they might both be married.

In this case, there is not much difference between Li Yanchuan's matter and Gu Bai's matter. Seeing that the other party had a similar conversation with Li Yanchuan, he left. Gu Chen walked up to Li Yanchuan and whispered: "I will discuss this matter with you." Abai said."

Li Yanchuan froze for a moment, nodded, but didn't say anything.

On Gu Bai's side, the fish has already been marinated, and the marinating lasts for an hour. The fast chef has already finished the fish by this time, and the dishes on the field will be sent to the judges after they are ready. It is impossible to wait. Yes, because some dishes take a long time to make, some dishes take a short time to make, some should be eaten cold, and some are only suitable for hot eating, and the taste will change when cold, it is impossible to unify the time.

Both the front and the back are considered to have an advantage, just like the number of days of the competition, but in terms of scoring, the gap between the front and the back is still not that big, it mainly depends on how the judges eat.

The same score was given. Compared with the previous two days, today's score is both stingy and generous. The stinginess is because some dishes that were poorly made were directly given low scores. After the influence of the previous dishes, The judge's mouth has become tricky.

And Dafang is because he has eaten too many delicious dishes before. The more amazing the dishes behind, the higher the score will be. It can be said that it is a bit unfair, but there is a saying in the World Chef Competition that luck is also part of your strength .

Gu Bai listened to the scores, but he didn't respond. Unlike other chefs, who couldn't help but look in the direction of the comments, they concentrated on cooking their own dishes, removing the scallions, ginger, and millet peppers from the fish. Then brush a layer of sesame oil on the fish, put it on the grill and start grilling.

Gu Bai inexplicably thought that if it is done in the simplest way, the practical oven is the best, the temperature control is just right, it is very suitable for some kitchen novices, or veterans are also suitable, after all, most people cook at home, and it is better to bake it. not enough.

But Gu Bai just thought about it for a while, and then quickly restrained his distracted attention, and put all his energy on the fish. He is grilling two fish in one breath, so he still needs to pay more attention.

If it is eaten at home, grilling fish with sticks is the best, but now in order to pursue the ultimate, Gu Bai still gave up the idea of ​​sticking fish.

As the roasting time passed by every minute and every second, an aroma of grilled fish wafted across the arena, and then quickly overwhelmed the aroma of other dishes, not all the dishes were not fragrant enough, mainly Gu Bai's. The speed was a bit slower, so when the grilled fish was fragrant, there were not many chefs still on the field, at most there were one-third of them.

And other people cook fish with a light taste, which is also the preference of the judges. Although some contestants were disgusted because they cooked a little bland, but the temporary change is not easy to change, and it is more likely to cause accidents. Might as well stick to the original plan.

In this environment, the aroma of grilled fish is naturally particularly obvious. Even if other chefs want to focus on their own dishes, they can't help but look at Gu Bai, obviously other Huaguo chefs have not cooked it. He is such an exciting dish.

But it's weird, and many chefs present shook their heads to Gu Bai from the bottom of their hearts, because as soon as they smelled it, they knew that this fish tasted very exciting, and the judges might not like it.

It's just that they don't know the specific situation of this fish, so they can make such a judgment easily.

But I don't blame them, not only the chefs on the field thought this way, several judges couldn't help frowning, although they didn't like the kind of dishes that came specially for their preferences, but this way They don't appreciate rebellious dishes either.

But Wang Xiuquan, Zhang Ping and the others looked at Gu Bai's cooking one by one, and they were a little panicked. They also recognized this crispy roasted crucian carp. They had eaten other people's cooking and their own, but Gu Bai's cooking , They haven't eaten yet.

"Don't panic, Master Gu will make this dish, he must have his own considerations, we have to trust him." Wang Xiuquan reassured the other people, judging from Gu Bai's previous performance, the other party is not that kind of impulsive person, There must be a reason they don't know how to cook this dish.

When Wang Xiuquan said this, the others also calmed down when they thought of Gu Bai's performance before, but they still felt a little worried.

Although Wang Xiuquan said so, he is actually the one who is most worried among the crowd, but he cannot panic. If he panics too, then the others must be even more panicked. They can only pray from the bottom of their hearts. Gu Bai will definitely do this. It is meaningful.

The audience was quiet at first, but the few judges present were already acquaintances of the audience. Adding the dishes made by the chefs in front, and looking up the information, they almost knew the reason, and Gu Bai was completely different from the others. On the contrary, the dishes made some viewers interested, and when they talked about it with the people around them, it became a little lively.

Even if Gu Chen, Gu Yu and Jiang Xiu had confidence in Gu Bai, in this environment, they were inevitably affected, and they became worried for Gu Bai.

On the other hand, Li Yanchuan was very calm, not worried at all, he was too relieved of Gu Bai, if it was the semi-finals or the finals, he might still be a little worried, but like the preliminary round, even if Gu Bai cooked dishes, If it doesn't meet the judges' eating habits, it can definitely be passed. If it doesn't pass, it can only show that there is something wrong with the judges.

With continuous roasting, the crucian carp was almost roasted quickly. Gu Bai brushed a layer of sesame oil on it one by one, then sprinkled cumin powder, chopped green onion and coriander, and finally roasted it again, and put it on the plate.

Both crucian carp are grilled with crispy skin, and the cut fish flesh is slightly burnt yellow, smells delicious, and is slightly irritating.

Gu Bai brought two plates of fish to the referee, one for the three, put them away separately, then briefly introduced the name and origin of this dish, then stood aside and did not speak.

What Gu Bai said was so simple that the judges were still waiting for his next sentence, such as the hidden meaning of this dish, and found that Gu Bai had nothing to say, so it was over. This brief The introduction made several judges almost unable to react.

Several people looked at each other, since Gu Bai had nothing to say, then they started eating and prepared to comment.

The judges present were not very interested in the crispy roasted crucian carp in front of them. Although the aroma is very strong, they have eaten too many good things, and there are many dishes with such a strong aroma, and their natural resistance has been greatly enhanced. up.

Besides, the fish tastes spicy and salty at first glance, and it doesn't suit their eating habits, especially the method. Gu Bai's cooking fish is really too simple, even because it's too simple, the judges almost don't like his cooking method. Mark it down, this is a treat no other chef has.

Because their method is still a bit complicated, and there is nothing special compared to the chefs around them, and Gu Bai's side is too unique and simple, so it is easy for them to remember.

Although the presentation is actually pretty good, but this is a Chinese style presentation, not a Western food presentation, which dropped a little bit on their side.

Just as a judge, you can't just rely on your own preferences to make a direct decision. At least you have to eat a little first. Looking at the pepper on the fish, several people moved their forks reluctantly.

As a world-renowned food critic, Mondecal was also invited to be a judge of the World Chef Competition. He was not interested in reviews at first, but a word from the inviting party made him tempted. As a judge, he can eat in a short time To see the dishes made by different chefs around the world is absolutely impossible to do in other places.

He was moved by this sentence at the time, but now, looking at the crispy roasted crucian carp in front of him and smelling the strange aroma that made him uncomfortable, Mondecar found that he had forgotten one thing. As a judge, he was You can eat the dishes of chefs all over the world, but it also means that when he encounters dishes that he doesn't want to eat, he must also eat them, because he is a judge, and he can't eat whatever he wants like before, or just don't eat if he doesn't want to.

Mondecar really doesn't like spicy taste. In his opinion, spicy taste is nothing but pain stimulation, but people in this world like this kind of pain stimulation, which makes him extremely incomprehensible.

So even if he used a fork to spear the fish, he was cautious and just wanted to fork it off a little. It’s just that it’s very convenient to eat western food with a fork, but Chinese food, especially this fish is still a whole. If he is not careful, he forks off Come in big chunks.

The other judges crossed a little bit, and they were a little surprised when they saw his actions. They knew Mond well, didn't the other party always dislike spicy dishes?Why does it seem like I like it this time.

The judges who shared the dish with him even pushed the plate towards him, signaling him to eat more if he likes it.

Originally, these dishes could be shared with the audience, but because they are a whole and not a separate meal, they cannot be eaten by the audience after eating, which is too unhygienic.

But they can't finish eating these, the fish will be wasted when the time comes, the judge pushing the plate couldn't help but frowned when he thought of this, even though he doesn't like the dishes made by Gu Bai, he still feels bad about wasting ingredients regret.

While thinking this way, the other party ate the fish on the fork, and then froze.

Seeing the actions of the other judges, Mondecar twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at the large piece of fish on his fork, took a deep breath, and didn't want to taste it separately, it would be a torture for him, so he just ate it in one breath. Put the fish in your mouth.

As soon as crucian carp enters the mouth, the spicy feeling on the skin spreads in Mondecal's mouth. He is so spicy that it is so spicy. In fact, it is not too spicy. For those who love spicy food, they still dislike this spicy food The taste is too light, but Mondecar has never tasted such a spicy taste, so it is naturally a bit unacceptable.

And just when he was thinking about whether to spit out the fish meat, the spicy smell gradually faded, replaced by the burnt aroma of the fish skin, the fish skin originally had a strong fishy smell, but Gu Bai didn't know No matter how it is roasted, there is no fishy smell at all, only the burnt aroma is left.

Realizing this, Mondecar subconsciously chewed a few times, the burnt aroma of the fish skin and fish meat was completely released, and the freshness of the fish meat, the fish meat is very fresh, but it is a kind of freshness different from sea fish, very refreshing The sweet and delicious taste made his tongue, which was hurt by the spicy taste just now, like this sweetness even more.

I don't know much about crucian carp Mondecar, but after eating the fish, he felt that there was something different from the taste of the fish. He tasted it carefully and found that those fish bones seemed to be baked and crispy, and the number of fish bones There are not many, but because of the crispy baking, there is no sense of existence.

This, how is this done?

Mondecar looked at Gu Bai subconsciously, and he couldn't understand it. After all, he watched Gu Bai cook this dish, and he couldn't find any trace at all.

Mondecar thought and ate, and realized that he had finished the fish and even wanted to eat another piece, and he was a little overwhelmed.

He still wants to eat? !

Mondecar was a little shocked, but just after he came back to his senses, he found that the few judges who didn't like Gu Bai's dishes just now had a tacit understanding and forked another piece of fish and started to eat it.
