But whether it is Buddha jumping over the wall or phoenix raising nine chicks, they are all very labor-intensive dishes. Even if there are two and a half days left, it is still very tense. Every step must be accurate. Once an error occurs, a certain link cannot be kept up. It will affect the whole dish.
The contestants who come to participate in the competition basically have no tacit understanding of cooking together. To complete two extremely laborious dishes in such a short period of time is more of a test of personal ability.
Immediately, most of the contestants chose two people to be responsible for one dish.
After all, it is easier for two people to work together than four people.
Tao Hai thought the same way. He pointed at Tang Wenxiu and said, "You and I will do Buddha Jumping over the Wall and Phoenix Raise Nine Chicks, let them complete it."
Such a grouping Not reasonable.
The other groups were an older chef leading a younger chef.
Tang Wenxiu had no objection to this arrangement and looked at Shen Lu and Sang Yue, asking them to express their stance.
“I have no problem.” Shen Lu smiled nonchalantly, “If there is anything I need help with, you two can tell me.”
“Do your own thing well. , it’s good if it doesn’t drag us down. If you don’t know how to do it, please ask me, don’t do it yourself.”
While talking, the huge food storage room opened, and white cold mist sprayed out, mixed with the aroma of fresh fruits and vegetables, which shocked everyone.
“Now is the time for contestants to select ingredients. The time is one hour. Please select carefully. In this round of competition, the ingredient storage room will only be opened once. If there are any omissions, they will not be opened again. Let’s start the second time.”
After listening to the host’s words, most people did not rush in. Instead, they discussed with the team members what ingredients were needed and made a list before going in. This saves time and effort.
Tao Hai prides himself on being the chef of a five-star hotel. He makes progress without making a list.
Tang Wenxiu frowned, not quite agreeing, but still followed.
"Boss Shen, should we make a list?" Sang Yue asked.
“No need, Feng Yu Jiu Chu’s ingredients are not complicated and more of a test of your eyesight.” Shen Lu smiled and said as he walked, “Do you still remember what Feng Yu Jiu Chu did in the video just now?”< br>
"Yeah, remember." Sang Yue followed, "I want to make nine kinds of chicken dishes, namely soy sauce chicken, Shaoxing drunken chicken, hibiscus chicken slices, beggar's chicken, Songhua chicken rolls, Jinzhou smoked chicken, Ghost Town Spicy Chicken, Daokou Roast Chicken and Crispy Roast Chicken. ”
“It is best to choose three-yellow chicken for soy sauce chicken, and baby chicken for Daokou Roast Chicken. The age of the chicken directly affects the quality of the meat. We not only need When choosing a breed, you must also choose chickens of the right age.”
While talking, the two entered the food storage room.
This place is very similar to the large fresh food supermarket that Shen Lu visited in his previous life. Looking around, all kinds of vegetables and fruits are placed in bamboo baskets and placed on the shelves waiting to be picked.
Shen Lu motioned to Sang Yue to push a cart, and the two began to pick out the ingredients.
There were not many people coming in at the moment, so there was a lot of room to choose. Shen Lu took the most important chicken first.
Logically speaking, it is best to use live chickens that are killed and slaughtered for cooking. However, the science and technology here is advanced and the insurance technology is quite good, so there is no need to pay attention to the live chickens. Anyway, it is almost the same.
After choosing nine good chickens, Shen Lu went to the vegetable area.
The lotus leaves used to make beggar's chicken, the pine flower eggs used to make pine flower chicken rolls, the various chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns used to make the ghost town spicy chicken...
Each type of chicken has different auxiliary ingredients, Shen Lu It was said that it was not complicated, but Sang Yue was already starting to feel dizzy at this point.
"Boss Shen, how about we make a list, I'm afraid we'll miss out..."
"Don't believe me?" Shen Lu checked it over and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the quantity. The cooking table in the competition only has basic oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, so if you want special condiments, you have to get them yourself.
Shen Lu pushed another cart and went to scan the condiments area. It took about forty minutes to return to the cooking table of Group C with Sang Yue.
Tao Hai and Tang Wenxiu are also at the cooking table, and they have begun to process the dry goods that will take time.
Sang Yue followed Shen Lu's instructions and listed all the ingredients for each type of chicken.
She definitely couldn't handle so much today. Shen Lu asked her to keep only the ingredients for the crispy roast chicken and Daokou roast chicken, and put the rest into the fresh-keeping cabinet under the cooking table.
Don’t worry about not being able to fit in the fresh-keeping cabinets. The fresh-keeping cabinets here all use folding space technology. They look like they only have ten liters, but in fact the storage space is comparable to a small house of ten square meters.
"Boss Shen, are we going to make these two kinds of chicken today?" Sang Yue asked.
"It can only be done tomorrow. Today is preparation work."
Shen Lu took the two chickens over and checked them carefully to make sure there were no hairs. He rinsed them with water and used Dry as much as possible with kitchen paper and set aside.
She was going to prepare the sauce and honey for the two chickens. As soon as she picked up the soy sauce, she heard a scratching sound, followed by a sharp quarrel.
Shen Lu looked up and saw a group of people blocking the door of the food storage room. Several carts fell to the ground, the food was scattered on the ground, and some broken sauces leaked out.
"The fight started." Sang Yue said in a low voice, "Because of a bag of sea cucumbers."
The competition has never been harmonious. There was no big conflict before. It was not that everyone was humble to each other, but that there was no chance.
Now is your chance.
The ingredients in the food storage room are theoretically enough, but some people are afraid of failure, so they keep more.
As a result, there will not be enough ingredients.
For example, there is only one bag of dried sea cucumbers left in the last two groups.
The two groups got into a fight over the bag of dried sea cucumbers, which eventually turned into fistfights and became a mess.
"Damn it, Xiao Nian, you are trying to harm us, aren't you? Seeing that you can't get the sea cucumber and jump over the wall, you drag our group into the water together. You are really nothing!"
"Shaoxue is slanderous. I obviously got this bag of sea cucumbers first, but you insisted on grabbing it. If you didn't grab it, would this happen?" The staff hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the two away. After warning, the two turned away angrily.
The people in the same group picked up the ingredients that could still be used and returned to the cooking table with sad faces.
How can we make this dish without ingredients and seasonings?
Although there is no fixed elimination quota in this round, if you cannot make qualified food, you will still be eliminated.
Those with slightly worse mental qualities have already begun to cry now.
Tao Hai watched the excitement for a while, clicked his tongue twice, then turned to Shen Lu and Sang Yue and said, "Remember, go get the ingredients earlier next time. Don't be like them and list them." What a list, a real old chef must know what to use for cooking. What they do is an amateur's approach."
"Master Tao," Tang Wenxiu suddenly called him with a serious face. "You forgot to get the old hen stock."
