Chapter 209 The dust has settled
"The topic of today's competition is quite special. It is no longer about ingredients, but the original intention of Mr. Xu Cheng's proposition. The original intention is a very interesting topic, and we have more or less eaten from the dishes of the four contestants. "It doesn't have that much flavor," Zhu Chang said, "Contestant Wu Minqi's ants are on the tree. In fact, it is very good in terms of taste, heat, and final presentation. However, compared with the dishes of the other three contestants, it lacks a little bit of soul. I personally feel that this dish is not what you originally intended. Can I ask why you chose this dish? ”
There was a microphone at the far right end of the cooking table. Wu Minqi was stunned when she was suddenly called. After thinking about it, she picked up the microphone.
"My cooking skills were taught by my grandfather. To be precise, all the cooking skills of the younger generations in our family were taught by my grandfather. Only this recipe of ants climbing a tree is different. This is my father's specialty. This is the only dish he taught me. I was most envious of it when I was a child. What I admire is that my father will personally cook a table of food for my mother whenever he has time. I also want to be that kind of person, with good cooking skills, cooking a table of food for my loved ones,” Wu Minqi said. , "I think this is my original intention."
"This is not your original intention." Zhu Chang said with a smile, "I didn't taste your special feelings for this dish, but I tasted very special feelings on the dishes of the other three contestants. Maybe Jiang Feng's The preserved egg and lean meat porridge is slightly inferior, but it is very strong. But it is true that it is a bit difficult for you young players to discuss the original intention of cooking, but your original intention is not this, you will understand later. "
Wu Minqi was stunned and a little confused.
Mother Wu looked at the problem from a unique perspective on the stage. She turned around and asked Wu Hanxue: "Did you really only teach our daughter this one dish?"
"Isn't this usually a chance?" Wu Hanxue said sarcastically.
"Then tell me, what is our daughter's original intention?" Mother Wu looked at Wu Minqi on the stage.
"I don't know." Wu Hanxue said, "She didn't even think about it herself, how could we know."
"I know." Mother Wu smiled.
Zhu Chang only commented on Wu Minqi's Ant Climbs a Tree and then handed the microphone to Pei Shenghua.
"Actually, judge Zhu Chang didn't make things difficult for anyone just now. Compared with the other three, contestant Wu Minqi's dish was indeed a little less interesting. Of course, it was also very good. I gave contestant Jiang Feng's preserved egg and lean meat porridge a 9.6 Well, let me focus on his preserved egg and lean meat porridge." Pei Shenghua started his chat.
"Player Jiang Feng is a player who always gives me a lot of surprises. Starting from the quarterfinals, the eight-treasure porridge is amazing, the shredded yam is a surprise, and today's preserved egg and lean meat porridge is a delight. He is a player with great strengths and weaknesses. An obvious chef, his knife skills are very good, he should be the best among all the contestants present. , his basic skills are very solid, he must have suffered a lot when he was learning to cook. Correspondingly, his seasoning is indeed a bit off. His taste is obviously very sensitive, but I don’t know why your seasoning is different from your taste. It matches. But what’s even more surprising is that you cook porridge very well.”
"You may be sorry that you lost to Guli by 0.1 points today, but don't be discouraged. You are very young and you have many unlimited possibilities. These four players today all have a very broad future. I look forward to it." I hope your future achievements will become wider and farther.”
The audience burst into perfunctory applause.
"You didn't mention his preserved egg and lean meat porridge at all." Zhu Chang reminded him friendly.
"Huh?" Pei Shenghua thought about it for a moment, and it seemed like this. He couldn't help it. Who said he was a talkative? His words started to go astray as soon as he left his mouth, and he didn't know where he ended up.
Pei Shenghua handed the microphone to Tong Deyan.
"Since the first two judges each only commented on one contestant, I will only comment on one contestant." Tong Deyan has a charm that makes people want to punch him whenever he opens his mouth. "The dish of Peach Blossom Pan is called Pingdi A thunderous sound, the characteristic is that the sauce is poured on it when served That sound, he did it very well. I can also guess a little bit about why you made this dish. This dish is quite good from any angle. I learned from your master's eight or nine successes. Bottom, good.”
"Is Old Tong not getting along with Mr. Xia?" Pei Shenghua turned around and discussed with Zhu Chang in a low voice.
"He doesn't deal with anyone." Zhu Chang said.
"I can hear it." Tong Deyan said expressionlessly.
"I know, just pretend you can't hear it." Pei Shenghua continued to discuss with Zhu Chang.
Tong Deyan:......
Zang Mu picked up the microphone and was uncharacteristically talkative: "Each of us will have a child like this. They work hard, are hard-working, and are down-to-earth. They practice hard every day, but they always have no results. Compared with those talented children, He looks so stupid, so other children who are not as smart and don't work as hard as him will. To laugh at his efforts, it seems that he can get a sense of superiority from him. Then, this child will either give up his efforts and become mediocre, or he will not care about other people's eyes and ridicule, and he will be known as a fool. Do what you want to do day after day and become the person you want to be.”
"Guli is the latter."
Zang Mu looked at the audience, his sharp eyes scanning every contestant in the first row, like a silent taunt, Sun Jikai, Zhao Shan, and others who were eliminated early and did not even deserve their names were also from the kitchen. Players from the Yi family who had also participated in boring activities that mocked Guli all felt that Zang Mu was scolding them.
There are no dirty words, but every word is bloody.
"He is indeed not a talented chef. He is the oldest contestant among the top 32. Today he won the championship. Maybe he will be surpassed by these three contestants in a few years, but this does not mean that he is a chef. Mediocre people.”
"Being an excellent chef does require talent. If you have talent, you will become an excellent chef, and you may even become an excellent master. I can eat your original intention in your golden siomai, if I didn't If you guess wrong, this should be the first dim sum Master Tan teaches you. I believe you must have made this dish more than 7,000 times, and there will be many 7,000 times in the future.”
"God rewards hard work."
"Did Zang Mu take the wrong medicine today? Why are you talking so much?" Pei Shenghua asked curiously.
"Have you forgotten, wasn't he also a well-known talentless person in our circle back then?" Zhu Chang said with a smile, "But he was not as good-tempered as Guli. His violent temper back then almost made those guys embarrassed. Trampled on the ground.”
"Oh?" Han Guishan didn't expect that he could eat such a delicious melon.
Zang Mu glanced at them, and Pei Shenghua, who was about to speak, suddenly silenced himself.
Xu Cheng slowly picked up the phone.
"I am a eater. Over the years, I have always believed that only a dish that is full of the chef's emotions and beliefs is an excellent and qualified dish. Only a chef who can give emotions and beliefs to the dishes can become a master. 4 people on the court today "Every young chef has the potential to become a master," Xu Chengdao said, "I would like to give you four a special interview for "Zhiwei". It is my hard work. In the 10 years since it was founded, it has changed from a monthly publication to a current one every year. There are fewer and fewer excellent dishes that I can discover, and there are fewer and fewer excellent chefs that I can discover. . You have given me surprises and hope. I very much hope that "Zhiwei" can resume its original monthly publication, and I also hope that you can surprise me in the future."
The faces of the young chefs in the audience were twisted with jealousy.
Special interview in "Zhiwei" magazine! ! !
Even the masters of major cuisines are rarely able to get special interviews! ! !
What are the virtues and abilities of the four guys above! ! !
Although they are indeed stronger than me, more handsome than me, and more talented than me, but why! ! !
A certain top 32 chef who is neither handsome nor powerful nor talented nor very good screams jealously in his heart.
"Now, let our staff present awards to the top three contestants." The hostess said with a smile.
Gu Li is a large golden trophy, Jiang Feng is a small silver trophy, and Zhang Guanghang is a smaller bronze trophy.
Just by looking at the appearance of the trophy, it is quite well-made, and it can be seen that the organizers put their best efforts into it.
Jiang Feng noticed that the second place in the 2nd Good Taste Cooking Competition was engraved on the base of his silver trophy.
"Ding, complete the side mission [Peers' Challenge] and get the mission reward prop: [a kitchen knife]."
"Ding, complete the hidden mission [Jiang Weiguo's Pride] and get the mission reward item: [Jiang Weiguo's Memory]."
The moment Jiang Feng stepped off the podium, the long-lost system prompt sounded in his head.
This co-authored game actually doesn't settle until the game is over.
The game was over and everyone was about to leave from the backstage, but was stopped by the staff.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, can the four contestants please record another VCR to answer a few questions, which will be broadcast on the variety show." A staff member from the provincial station ran over and asked.
It was just a matter of answering a few questions, and all four people nodded in agreement.
Everyone has experience in recording VCR before the game starts, and after recording so many games, they won’t be timid in front of the camera. Recording one at a time is really just a few simple little questions, very fast.
As a representative of good looks, Zhang Guanghang was naturally the first to record VCR.
"Excuse me, why did you choose the dish Peach Blossom Pan as the final entry?" the assistant director asked with a small notebook.
"Peach Blossom Pan is the first real Chinese food I have eaten, and it is also the first Chinese food I have learned. Because of this dish, I stayed in Peking. I studied Chinese, history, poetry, and history. , I learned about a completely different cuisine, a different nation, and a different culture. This dish may not be my original intention for cooking, but it is my original intention for Chinese food." Zhang Guanghangdao.
"Will you stay in China for development or return to France for development in the future?"
"I will stay in Peking and work in the next few years, and I can't be sure of what will happen next."
"This last question is the most popular among netizens. If you were looking for a girlfriend, what kind of girl would you look for?" the assistant director said with a gossipy smile on his face.
"Beautiful." The answer was a bit too true.
"Okay, no problem, thank you for your cooperation."
The second one is Jiang Feng.
"Still an old question, why did you choose preserved egg and lean meat porridge as the final entry?"
"My family's situation is actually a bit similar to Wu Minqi's. My grandfather and I have been taught cooking skills by my grandfather since we were young, but I have never liked it." Jiang Feng said, "I can accurately say that last year Before summer, I had never liked learning to cook. I gave up learning to cook for many years and never thought of picking it up until last summer when I found out that my neighbor was eating too much. I got a serious stomach problem while losing weight.”
"At the beginning, I just wanted to help her return to a normal diet. I started cooking porridge. I cooked different porridges every day. There were all kinds of porridges, but they all tasted bad. Preserved egg and lean meat porridge was a start. I started with preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Porridge started to think about how to make a pot of porridge more delicious. After that, I picked up the kitchen knife again and continued to practice my cooking skills.”
"Okay, no problem, thank you for your cooperation."
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
Zhang Guanghang has three problems, and I only have one. The difference in your treatment is too obvious!
Do I look like a male classmate without a story?
The third one is Wu Minqi.
"Do you feel regretful that you only got 4th place?"
"I will regret it, but I tried my best."
"As far as I know you have been specializing in Sichuan cuisine over the years. Do you have any plans to learn other cuisines in the future?"
"Yes." Wu Minqi's answer was very brief.
"The third question may be a bit personal, you can choose not to answer it. Has your life changed in any way since you fell in love, or will it have any impact on your final today?"
"Yes, I feel that everything in the world has become more beautiful, more colorful and richer." Wu Minqi said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
The last one is Guli. After he won the championship, his dull expression no longer seemed to others to be a slow reaction but a champion's aura.
"Are you surprised that you won the championship today?"
"Surprised."
"...Then do you have any plans to change jobs in the future? According to our investigation, it seems that you are not taken seriously in Zhiweiju."
"No."
"...Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
After the VCR recording was finished, Jiang Feng and the others had to say goodbye to the Good Taste Cooking Competition once and for all.
This game lasted for nearly a month and ended so suddenly that Jiang Feng was still a little reluctant to part with it.
"How is the decoration of Taifeng Building?" Zhang Guanghang asked.
"The decoration company has been identified and the details are being discussed. It is expected that the decoration will start soon." Jiang Feng said.
"I'm going back to Peking tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? When tomorrow?" Jiang Feng didn't expect Zhang Guanghang to leave in such a hurry.
"Tomorrow night's flight, my master's days are running out, and I want to go back early to be with him. If you have any problems with the opening of Tai Feng Building, you can contact me at any time. I'm in Peking, so I can help you deal with it." Zhang Guang channel.
Jiang Feng nodded. At this time, he was no longer polite: "Why don't you come to my store for a meal tomorrow at noon? I have asked someone to draw the design drawings, and you can help me take a look."
"Okay." Zhang Guanghang readily agreed, "By the way, the interview in "Zhiwei" is a great publicity opportunity and can be used to promote Taifeng Tower."
Jiang Feng really thought: "Well, I just don't know when the interview will start."
"At least not in the near future. Generally speaking, "Zhiwei" magazine will publish a new issue between June and August. As long as Tai Feng Building opens around June or July, it can catch up with the promotion of "Zhiwei". "Zhang Guanghang said, "Let's discuss the details at dinner tomorrow. I think your family is waiting for you over there."
Today's game ended early. Jiang Jianguo and the others were waiting for Jiang Feng at the door. They were obviously going to have a dinner together. Wu Hanxue and Wu's mother were also among them.
Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi walked towards them, with smiles on everyone's faces.
"It's okay." Wu's mother comforted Wu Minqi. She was the worst among the four players on the field today, and she didn't even win a trophy.
"I'm fine, Mom." Wu Minqi comforted Wu's mother in turn.
"Let's go eat. I ordered a big bag at Yushanfang!" Jiang Jianguo said excitedly.
There are many people but few cars, so if they are evenly distributed, Jiang Feng, Jiang Junlian, Jiang Junqing and Jiang Zaide can all fit into the back seat of an ordinary car, and the rest of the people can still sit down no matter how crowded they are.
"Brother, you really need to lose weight. Your arm is hurting me." Jiang Junlian looked disgusted.
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
He was squeezed into this small space, his facial expression was almost distorted, and he could hardly breathe. He turned his head with difficulty to look at Jiang Junlian's arm.
After all, you are a person who weighs over 150 pounds. Don’t you have any idea who is knocking someone?
"Brother, your bones are indeed a bit stiff." Jiang Zaide said.
Jiang Feng:...
"Oh." "I Have a Zhanzhan Card" is on the shelves today. If you are interested, you can support it~
