Chapter 180 Look, this pot is black and round
The two people presented the dishes differently.
Zhao Shan chose a Nordic rectangular square plate with five shrimps lined up in the same direction. The gravy was thick and reddish in color. The red lid of the tomato sauce gave a different color to the shrimps. The shrimps were sprinkled with chopped green onion. At first glance, it looks good at the top, and there is no problem at all to fool a layman.
For example, Han Guishan was frightened.
Zhao Shan's eggplant and prawns were served first. He took one look at it and praised: "It looks quite delicious!"
The other four insiders laughed and said nothing.
"This is Cantonese food." Zhu Chang reminded.
"Cantonese food?" Han Guishan, a fake Guangdong Province native, was shocked and then relieved. When he left Guangdong Province, he didn't know anything about ketchup. This must be a new dish. It must be a new dish.
While comforting himself, Han Guishan picked up a prawn with tomato sauce.
The gravy was too thick and dripped down the prawns. Once in the mouth, the tomato sauce smell was very strong, even covering up the flavor of the prawns.
After eating his own shrimp, Han Guishan was a little surprised. Is all Cantonese food like this now? His son would probably like this dish if he came to eat it. After all, Han Youxin, the little fat man, would drink a bottle of ketchup while holding the ketchup in his arms. However, as a middle-aged entrepreneur in his fifties, Han Guishan could not accept such a heavy dish. Ketchup flavor.
I looked at the other judges and couldn't see their expressions.
Han Guishan hesitated for a moment, but still scored.
When the score came out, it was 8.1 points.
It's cold.
Zhao Shan smiled falsely to show that he had a good attitude and lost gracefully.
The empty plates were removed, and Zhang Guanghang's tomato sauce prawns were served.
The staff member had a standard smile on her face and steadily placed the plate in front of the judges.
Zhang Guanghang uses a traditional round plate. The prawns are arranged in a round shape. The gravy is thin and is only thinly wrapped around the prawns. The plate is very clean. Thanks to squeezing the shrimp heads with a spatula when oiling, the color of the shrimp is red and bright.
"Why are their tomato sauce prawns so different?" Zhang Qian asked puzzledly while sitting in the rest area.
"Their methods are different." Jiang Feng explained, "Zhao Shan picks the shrimp threads from the back. He doesn't press the shrimp heads, and the color depends entirely on tomato sauce. Zhang Guanghang uses toothpicks to pick the shrimp threads, and he cuts the belly of the shrimps. , the thickened gravy is thin and looks much different.”
Zhang Guanghang made eight shrimps.
"Not bad." Pei Shenghua praised.
"That's good." Zhu Chang agreed.
"Very good." Han Guishan followed suit, and Zhang Guanghang made eight. He could eat four, so he was naturally very satisfied.
Compared with Zhao Shan's tomato sauce prawn ketchup, which has a strong flavor, Zhang Guanghang's tomato sauce prawn ketchup is just a standard ingredient, used to enhance the flavor without covering up the sweetness of the shrimp meat itself, with green leaves lining the safflower.
"Isn't that Zhao Shan not good at making tomato sauce prawns? How can two Shandong chefs compete with each other?" Jiang Jianguo couldn't understand this operation.
"Maybe he thinks he's good at it? There aren't many Cantonese restaurants in Beiping, right?" Jiang Jiankang guessed.
"Prawn in tomato sauce is a specialty of Babao Zhai." Jiang Zaide said, starting to recall the glorious past, "At least five years ago, when my ex-girlfriend and I went to Peking to visit and ordered this at Babao Zhai. The dish is all about tomato sauce, but she likes it. ”
Everyone was surprised that Jiang Zaide, as the fattest member of the Jiang family, had never revealed that he had a girlfriend.
"I was only 203 pounds at that time. I went to the gym every day. Of course I have a girlfriend!" Jiang Zaide said with a smile on his face, "We met at the gym!"
"How did they break up later?" Fifth Aunt asked curiously.
"Later, when I turned 240, she succeeded in losing 110 pounds and we were divided." Jiang Zaide said with an expressionless face.
On the stage, Han Guishan began to eat the last shrimp.
I'm still not satisfied and want to have ten more.
Zhang Guanghang's score also came out, 9.2 points. The audience burst into applause, cheers and screams that did not give Zhao Shan any face. It was comparable to a large concert.
Finally it’s time for the exciting review.
The five judges each have their own characteristics.
Tong Deyan is clear about love and hate, speaks outright, and has an upright temperament.
Zang Mu rarely spoke, and his whole person exuded a demeanor of none of my business, yours, and his.
Zhu Chang, the chief minister, sat next to Han Guishan and was responsible for explaining various common sense issues to the sponsor's father.
Pei Shenghua talks the most and is a typical chatterbox. He has to say a few words about everything and insists on saying nothing.
Han Guishan, the benefactor’s father, doesn’t know anything, he just comes to eat.
Zhu Chang, the peacemaker, was the first to speak: "The tomato sauce prawns of both contestants are very good, each with its own flavor, exquisite presentation, and clean and neat production techniques, but in comparison, Zhang Guanghang's tomato sauce The prawns are better, slightly stronger in heat and flavor.”
"From the perspective of a professional chef, of course Zhang Guanghang's prawns with tomato sauce are better, the sauce is even, and the open-flavored prawns are more flavorful. I just saw your production process, and they are actually very good, Zhao Shan The players also control the heat very well, but you Tomato There is too much sauce, and the taste even covers the original flavor of the shrimp. Of course, it is also very good, all of them are very good. You can advance to the top eight in the country. You are all very good young chefs in your twenties. The future of this cooking skill is limitless," Pei Shenghua said with a smile.
"You chose the wrong dish." Zang Mu said, not as kindly as the first two, "Prawn in tomato sauce is not suitable for you, especially Zhao Shan, neither fish nor fowl."
Zhao Shan's fake smile began to become more fake.
"You all didn't perform well today, especially Zhao Shan. The tomato sauce prawns you cooked today even made me wonder how you advanced to the top eight in the country. It's obvious that none of you are good at this dish. I thought There will be a wonderful game today, I'm a little disappointed." Tong Deyan didn't give Zhao Shan any face. Anyway, he didn't have a good relationship with Babao Zhai, so he didn't want to give him any face.
Zhao Shan couldn't help but smile.
"Well, they are all quite delicious. The latter one is more to my liking." Han Guishan laughed.
The female host came to the rescue with a smile: "It seems that everyone has noticed that some of our judges are still very strict. They will point out the smallest mistakes of the contestants. It can be said that they can't rub a grain of sand in their eyes. He is truly a master in the industry.”
"Let us once again congratulate player Zhang Guanghang for successfully advancing to the top four in the country!"
The audience burst into thunderous applause.
"Next, the second group of contestants are Jiang Feng and Zhang Qian. The topic they drew is sweet porridge, and the competition dish is eight-treasure porridge. Our staff has finished cleaning up the cooking table. The two contestants can go on stage to prepare. The competition will be in three minutes. Then start.”
Zhang Guanghang and Zhao Shan walked towards the rest area. Zhao Shan had adjusted his mentality, smiling, calm and calm. He only waited for someone to comfort him when he returned to the rest area, and then replied calmly and downplaying his reputation: "My skills are not as good as others, I lost." He said in front of Zhang Guanghang that he didn't care about winning or losing.
A perfect positive image is now established!
Zhao Shan walked forward unhurriedly.
Four people meet.
"Come on." Zhang Guanghang smiled and said to Jiang Feng.
The camera quickly cut to the two of them, and the audience screamed.
"Come on!" Zhang Qian also smiled and said to Jiang Feng, "What if I don't lose?"
"Let's work together!" Jiang Feng said with a smile, "You will definitely lose."
"Off." Zhang Qian made a face at Jiang Feng, and the two separated and walked to their respective cooking stations.
"The relationship between these two players is very good!" Pei Shenghua said with a smile.
"It's not bad." Tong Deyan's expression relaxed a lot.
"Young people, we can have fun together." Zhu Chang said, "I remember that little girl is the youngest among the top 32, right?"
"16 years old, the daughter of Chef Zhang of the Royal Dining Room." Pei Shenghua said.
"No wonder, I asked him why he came to sit in the auditorium today. It turned out that he was here to cheer for his daughter." Zhu Chang also knew Chef Zhang from the Royal Dining Room, "Old Tong, please be polite later, don't I made that little girl cry.”
Tong Deyan ignored him.
"It's begun." Pei Shenghua reminded.
"The second round starts now, the remaining time is forty minutes."
"Forty minutes to cook porridge, time is very tight." Han Guishan sighed, "Who asked this question?"
The four of them looked at him.
Han Guishan:......
I came out, I forgot.
"The people under me are really unreliable. I'll talk about my assistant later!" (End of Chapter)
