Chapter 835 is really confusing
Jiang Feng was the last contestant to arrive at the competition venue. He didn't even have time to put on makeup. He just put on his makeup and was carried backstage to prepare for the competition.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you wear makeup or not. Anyway, the camera has its own beauty effect, and there are no rivals like Zhang Guanghang who are too embarrassed to go on stage without makeup. There are only chefs like Arnold, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Looking at the bearded man who was almost ready to leave first.
The four participating chefs who felt the same way about Light of New York already wanted to leave.
Chef Arnold was obviously not in a good mood today.
You don't need to know why he is in a bad mood. Chef Arnold has many reasons to be in a bad mood every day. The ingredients are not fresh, the idiot boss calls him again, some brainless food critic from across the ocean writes an article to criticize him, or the breakfast is not delicious or the tool is not easy to use. Such small things can make him angry.
You don’t need to know the reason, you just need to know that Chef Arnold is unhappy today.
Chef Arnold is not happy, the show must be great.
The photographers were all ready, just waiting for the competition to start. They used their cameras to completely record the scene where Chef Arnold pointed at several of his subordinates and yelled, cursed and shitted frequently.
"How's it going? Did the staff just talk about the rules of the competition?" Because Jiang Feng arrived late, he was taken into the dressing room and hurriedly put on makeup that was not visible at all, and missed all the staff's speeches.
"I have said that the rules of the competition are quite simple." Wu Minqi said, "There is no limit to the theme, but each group is limited to only two dishes, one main dish and one dessert. The competition time is still 12 o'clock to 6 p.m. as mentioned before A full 6 hours.”
Jiang Feng nodded, it was indeed quite simple.
One main dish, one dessert, 4 chefs, 6 hours, more than enough, but not being able to make soup will slightly limit the performance of the Chinese chefs on the scene.
As long as there is enough time, which Chinese chef wouldn't want to make one or two dazzling soup dishes to show the bearded chef opposite the secret of soup.
Long time has the advantage of long time. Many delicacies and delicacies need a long time to be simmered slowly. The same is true for Chinese food and Western food. Although the long competition format will affect the viewing effect, it can give the chef more room to play.
This may be why the program team chose such a large venue but did not set up auditoriums.
All participating chefs are waiting backstage, and the judges have already taken their seats. The host also began to pretend to be an audience in the empty studio, and introduced the 16 chefs and 4 judges who participated in this competition with great emotion.
To sum it up in one sentence, the judges and contestants in this competition are very good, and we take the cooking competition seriously.
It lasted for more than ten minutes, and was probably cut into a few minutes of introduction. The 16 contestants stepped onto the stage (which was also the competition venue) under the spotlight as they had rehearsed before, and walked to their respective kitchens. In front of the stage, waiting for the competition to start.
As the huge electronic clock on the big screen began to count down, the semi-finals of the Good Taste Sino-US Chef King Competition officially began.
The food area is on the left side of the stage. It is richer than the food in the last test semi-finals. It can be said that there are all the unexpected ingredients that an ordinary person can think of. Jiang Feng can clearly see that the bamboo baskets in the second row are filled with fresh food. Live cabbage snake.
The game started and no one moved.
Each group of contestants gathered together behind their respective cooking stations to discuss the dishes they should cook for the semifinals.
The biggest difficulty in the semi-finals is that the theme of the competition is announced at short notice, and all contestants must decide on two dishes to cook in a very short period of time. A main dish and a dessert seem to be a large range, but if you want to win beautifully and neatly, you must show some special skills, but you cannot show them completely.
There is also the final.
The trump card has to be saved for the finals.
"I will be in charge of the desserts, and you decide the main course, Jiang Feng. Xiao Kai will help me, and Wu Minqi, help Jiang Feng." Sun Maocai made the final decision.
Although when it comes to desserts, most people think of Western food first, but in fact, in terms of variety and eating methods, Chinese food is definitely one of the best.
Among Chinese desserts, Cantonese cuisine is the most popular.
Having Sun Maocai in charge of desserts is definitely the best choice.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Rock sugar golden bird's nest."
Jiang Feng:?
Although rock sugar bird's nest can be regarded as a dessert no matter how you look at it, he still felt that Sun Maocai was cheating.
When other chefs make desserts such as black forest, brownie, and pudding, they only add some caviar or sprinkle some gold foil to increase the price.
Sun Maocai was better off and simply made the bird's nest his main course and made his dessert.
Is this the top Cantonese chef? Love it, love it.
After deciding on a dessert that could be served ten times, Jiang Feng began to have a headache about the main course.
He is now very confident about Jiang's Ginseng, but this is his trump card and must be saved until the finals before he can use it to dazzle the audience. Desserts are all rock sugar bird's nest. If you don't have something to impress with the main course, not to mention other people's dishes, even your own desserts can't impress.
What should I do?
Sun Maocai and Sun Jikai went to pick vegetables after they had already left. Jiang Feng was still squatting behind the processing table, wondering what to do.
Wu Minqi didn't say anything. Her task today was to help Jiang Feng. He would do whatever Jiang Feng said, and he wouldn't do it if Jiang Feng didn't say anything.
After thinking for almost five or six minutes, Jiang Feng finally made a decision.
He wants to make phoenix eggs.
In terms of difficulty, Phoenix Eggs are much more difficult than Rock Sugar Bird's Nest, and the chef's requirements for cooking and other aspects are very high. In terms of rarity, this is definitely a rare dish that is as popular as the chefs of major restaurants. There are basically no Chinese restaurants on the market selling this dish because it is too troublesome and not profitable. If it is made, it will definitely satisfy four people. The judges' eyes lit up.
Jiang Feng had learned from Peng Changping before and had seen Jiang Chengde make it in his memory. He knew that the most difficult part of this dish was turning the spoon.
Some time ago, he happened to practice hard on the Jiang family's secret skill of flipping the spoon, and he made a great breakthrough.
Skillful turning of the spoon will definitely make the phoenix eggs the icing on the cake and amaze everyone.
In a competition, besides the taste, the most important thing is the effect. This is a beautiful, fresh and delicious dish that everyone has never seen before. It is more attractive and has more advantages than the beautiful and delicious dishes that everyone has seen and heard about.
"Qiqi, let's make phoenix eggs." Jiang Feng decided.
"Okay." Wu Minqi nodded, "Tell me what ingredients you need and we will pick them separately."
"Uh." Jiang Feng was silent.
Everything about the phoenix eggs is good, except that it comes out too quickly.
Even if it starts from the preparation of raw materials, it can be finished in two hours if the speed is slower.
The game time is a full 6 hours.
"Let's wait and see what other people are cooking." Jiang Feng said, looking around, he found that there were actually four chairs stuffed under the cooking table.
Why didn't he notice that there were chairs under the cooking skills during the previous rehearsal? Could it be that the program team was afraid that everyone would get tired from standing for too long while cooking, so they thoughtfully prepared chairs for everyone to rest?
No matter why the program team prepared chairs, it was a good thing. Jiang Feng silently pulled out two chairs, one for Wu Minqi and motioned for Wu Minqi to sit down for a while.
"The phoenix eggs can be made in two hours at most, and they have to be eaten while they are hot. We will wait until after 3 o'clock to get the vegetables, and they will be ready by then." Jiang Feng explained.
Wu Minqi expressed her understanding and sat down.
Jiang Feng also sat down and leisurely watched the other contestants selecting dishes in the food section, some even sweating profusely.
The photography teacher who saw this scene:?
What's the latest tactic?
The contestants this year are really hard to understand. (End of chapter)
