Far away at the scene of the King of Kitchen Competition in Shangcheng District, Shen Lu received news from Wang Daguo, saying that Mr. Sun brought a large group of people to the store to cause trouble, broke in and left after having no results.
The staff walked up to Shen Lu holding a basket and said, "This player, please put the optical brain in the basket."
The official competition is not as good as the preliminary competition. There are requirements for clothing. In order to make the competition absolutely fair and just, the optical brain must be handed in and will be returned after the competition.
Shen Lu obediently took off the optical brain and put it into his brain: "Thank you for your hard work."
The first game of the official competition had a total of 108 players, 50 from Xiacheng District and 58 from Shangcheng District. name.
Everyone reshuffles the drawing groups and competes one by one.
Shen Lu was assigned to the third group, and she would play in the next game.
Except for the eleventh group, each group consisted of ten people. After Shen Lu handed in his optical brain, he sat boredly backstage with the other nine people, waiting to play.
She is the youngest face among the three groups, and her immature face attracts other contestants to look at her.
"How old are you, little girl?" asked a sturdy uncle.
"Eighteen years old."
"You can enter the official competition of the King of Kitchen Competition at eighteen years old. Young people today really have a bright future."
"Ha." A sarcastic voice came to my ears. The voice sounded discordantly, "Every year, countless young chefs compete, but the only ones who can really make it to the end are experienced old chefs. I can see that she has no calluses or scars on her hands. It doesn't look like she is studying cooking with all her heart." A man of art.”
The words were so offensive that they made people feel uncomfortable.
There were many contestants this year, especially young girls. This female chef in her thirties had no idea where her resentment came from, so she caught Shen Lu and ridiculed her.
Shen Lu didn’t answer. There are some people in this world who are full of malice.
Without calluses and scars on your hands, you are not a person who is dedicated to cooking?
Can't there be special cases?
Soon it was the turn of Shen Lu's group to come on stage. Under the guidance of the host, they gave a brief introduction one by one.
Shen Lu glanced at the judges' bench. There were five permanent judges in total, as well as special invited judges who had their seats vacant.
The resident judge Shen Lu had checked the information in advance, including Duan Bangzhang, a veteran in the chef world, Xu Minxia, a gourmet with a very popular column, Wu Long, who is known as a gourmet, Tao Qingquan, who has won the title of Chef King three times in a row, and National goddess Lin Jingqi.
No need to guess as the special guest judge is the eldest prince Han Xu.
It’s just that the eldest prince hasn’t arrived yet, so there is no one in the position.
Shen Lu remembered that Sang Yue was lucky enough to be drawn into the last group. In the original plot, it was the only group in which the eldest prince participated in the selection today.
The first game was obviously more formal, this time it was about knife skills.
To put it bluntly, it means cutting the distributed ingredients into filaments of the same length and thickness. You can use your own knives or those provided by the organizer.
Of course Shen Lu used her own, but instead of using the legendary kitchen jade knife, she used the slicing knife she bought from the system mall.
Before setting off, she had sharpened the knife carefully, and now was the time to use it.
With the start command, Shen Lu quickly took the tofu from the water, and started cutting it with both hands.
Among the ingredients prepared by the organizer, tofu is the hardest and most delicate to cut. As soon as Shen Lu got started, he processed the most difficult and tender tofu first to prevent the knife edge from wearing out after use and not being able to cut the tofu properly. .
Cutting the trembling tofu into shreds will test the chef's knife skills. It is important to do it in one go. Don't hesitate or be timid.
But for Shen Lu, it was not a difficult task. In less than five minutes, the shredded tofu was gently put into the water and slowly spread out with the ripples of the water, like blooming chrysanthemums. Because Shen Lu looked outstanding and was the fastest to cut the tofu, the camera captured her very naturally, focusing on the shredded tofu blooming in the water.
The discussion of the barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly increased.
——This little girl looks young and has good knife skills.
——Indeed, the skill of cutting tofu with this hand is much better than that of most chefs in the same group.
——Hey, why do you think she looks familiar?
——If your eyes are useless, I suggest you donate them. This is the owner of Xiaolu Food!
——Oh, oh, yes, yes, it’s her!
——I didn’t expect that she would actually come to participate in the King of Kitchen Competition.
——It is indeed very powerful!
——She’s a capable person, maybe she’s good at knife skills, isn’t she the one who runs a small restaurant in Xiacheng District? He has the strength of chicken feathers.
——Have you ever eaten her cooking? Those who have never tasted it are not qualified to comment!
——What’s the fuss about? Are there not enough young girls participating in this King of Chef Competition? She's not the only one.
——That is, in the end, the master must come out on top, and they are just stepping stones.
......
Shen Lu checked the blade and after confirming that there was no problem, he started cutting shredded potatoes, carrots, diamond-shaped lettuce slices, and various meats.
Chopping vegetables is a boring thing for many people.
It seems like the same actions are repeated over and over again, which is very boring.
But people who really know how to cook know that there are various techniques for cutting vegetables.
For example, when cutting beef, you should cut it against the grain, and also pay attention to pressing the beef with your left hand, and use the push-pull knife method with your right hand to cut.
The beef cut in this way is of consistent thickness and is heated evenly during cooking to obtain the best taste.
Pork is different from beef. The cutting method depends on the part of the meat and the cooking method.
For example, tenderloin should be cut along the grain, which can maintain the length of the meat fibers, prevent the meat from breaking easily during cooking, and maintain elasticity and taste.
Another example is the pork neck. Due to the dense tissue texture and chewy meat, it is best to cut against the grain for better chewing.
Therefore, it is also important to be able to accurately identify which part of the meat is on the chopping board.
Shen Lu rarely paused, and every time he paused, he was checking the condition of the blade.
Any ingredient will be cut into various shapes within three minutes of being in her hands. Because her movements are so elegant and calm, the camera particularly favors her and gives her many close-ups.
After cutting the last shred of meat, Shen Lu let out a long sigh of relief, put the knife on the rag next to the chopping board, took a step back, and signaled to the staff that she was done.
Two robotic arms stretched out from the ceiling, put all the ingredients Shen Lu had cut into trays, and sent them to the judges' table in front.
Shen Lu's knife skills were certainly not to be commended, and the five resident judges gave the green light for promotion.
Shen Lu raised his eyebrows, left the competition seat first, and entered the resting hall for the promoted players.
Different from the tense competition scene, the resting hall for advanced players is like a large leisure center.
Everyone here has successfully advanced to the next round. There is a lot of food and drinks on the long dining table. Players can choose by themselves. The wall on the right is huge. The screen displays cameras from all angles, and everything on the field can be seen.
Yeah!
