Chapter 1675 Yuan Zhou’s Comments
In the audience, Zhang Yan and Fujiwara Iemoto explained in detail, interspersed with their own popular science about the four people's dishes.
Because both of them had done a lot of homework before coming here, they could be said to have quoted from classics in their explanations.
Yuanzhou, on the other hand, was watching the four-man match intently. Of course, whenever Zhang Yan or Fujiwara Iemoto brought the topic to his attention, he would explain it carefully.
Although he didn't say much, every word was very insightful.
The camera was focused on many of the judges, but more on the four people competing on the stage.
Although the four of them were dressed differently, their expressions were all very similar. They were all staring at the ingredients in their hands and preparing them carefully.
Oishi Xiujie was busy cutting the Hakata chicken into chicken pieces and chicken racks, while Sucha had already processed the chicken and was already processing the chili peppers and lemons he had flown in from Thailand.
As for Dupont, he has already started to prepare the soup. After all, he is making adobo, a famous Filipino dish. This dish still needs to prepare the soup base.
The most special one is Ke Sen. Why do you say he is special? It’s because he is making Chun peppers. Yes, they are the glutinous rice peppers that are indispensable for Guizhou cooking.
The organizer naturally provided this seasoning, but when Ke Sen got the chicken, he kept it chilled and then smelled the glutinous rice cake and chili pepper provided.
Then he started to remake it without hesitation. Obviously the program team's preparation was not in line with Ke Sen's wishes. He wanted to remake it himself.
"Ke Sen is making glutinous rice cake and chili from scratch," Zhang Yan said.
"Yes, every chef has his own requirements for the seasonings he usually uses." Yuan Zhou nodded, agreeing with the practice of doing everything by himself.
"Oishi Hidetoshi is also remaking citrus vinegar, and so are Sucha and Dupont." Then Yuan Zhou motioned to Zhang Yan and Fujiwara Iemoto to look there.
"Indeed, as Chef Yuan said, every chef has his own requirements for the seasonings he usually uses. The seasonings provided by the organizer every time can only be said to be of a unified standard." Fujiwara Iemoto also nodded in agreement.
The four chefs all mastered the three-hour cooking time very well, but Keson was the first to finish.
"I have finished making it, and the judges can taste it." Ke Sen raised his hand to signal, and then stepped back from the glass table where the meal was covered.
At this time, there are still ten minutes before the end of time.
Ke Sen and his father Colin are people with completely different personalities. Colin is mature and serious and has extremely strict requirements on cooking skills.
Ke Sen, on the other hand, looks middle-aged and steady, with a calm and friendly expression, not at all cautious like he was in front of his father.
Yes, Ke Sen was very cautious in front of Colin, and obviously both father and son knew about it, so Colin did not appear in today's final.
The purpose was not to affect his son's performance, but Colin was also keeping an eye on him through the live broadcast. After all, this spot was obtained in exchange for half of his manuscript, which can be said to be very precious.
Colin, who was staring at the screen, saw his son raising his hand to indicate completion, and couldn't help but said: "As expected of my Colin's son, it's pretty good to be the first to finish."
They are all cooking veterans who are very familiar with these twists and turns. Completing it within the specified time will not have any impact on the score, but being the first to complete it will add some favorability points.
Of course, the premise is that the dishes are highly completed. If you have to rush to finish the dishes first before the dishes are ready, it will be counterproductive.
As Ke Sen finished, Sucha also raised his hand to indicate that he had finished. He said in non-standard Chinese: "Judges, please taste."
In the last five minutes, Dupont also closed the lid, then raised his hand to indicate that he had finished today's meal.
The three-hour cooking time soon came to a countdown, and the sound of the seconds reading was very oppressive, but Hideyoshi Oishi had a good attitude and took his time to finish the unfinished parts and also checked them. The presentation of food in the pot.
At the end, Oishi Xiujie put on the last lid. As the final gong sounded, he raised his hand to indicate that he was finished.
Yuan Zhou nodded, and Ke Sen and Oishi Xiujie followed each other. The former was steady and neat, while the latter had a strong psychological quality, which proved Yuan Zhou's vision from the side.
"Stuck", "stuck"...
The hall no longer had a smoky feeling, only the sound of reporters clicking their shutters and the smell of food were left.
It was at this moment that Yuan Zhou stood up, and all the cameras and eyes immediately shifted away from the players. This was Yuan Zhou's influence.
"Okay, this is the end of the last cooking exchange time of the Young Chef Exchange Meeting. Next, we will taste your meals in the order of completion." After Yuan Zhou finished speaking, he sat down.
After Yuan Zhou sat down and exchanged some things with Zhang Yan and Fujiwara Iemoto, Qin Kaili from the backstage stood up and began to host the final tasting event.
"The first person to complete the meal in this exchange competition was Chef Ke Sen from Guizhou. The main dish he cooked this time was Xifengyang Chicken." Qin Kaili's voice reached everyone's ears through the microphone.
"Now, please ask the etiquette lady to bring Chef Keson's dishes." Following Qin Kaili's words, a group of ladies in cheongsam divided into three rows and brought the dishes covered with lids on the glass table to the judges' seat.
At this time, the judges' bench had also been rearranged. It was covered with a red tablecloth and porcelain white tableware was placed on it.
There were four dishes in small bowls and a glass of water in front of everyone. This is what Ke Sen cooked today.
One main dish and three side dishes, all covered with silver lids.
"It can be revealed." Yuan Zhou wiped his hands and said.
"Okay, it seems that our judges are ready to taste Chef Ke Sen's dishes, so we looked there. I wonder what kind of expression our judges will show." Qin Kaili said.
Following Qin Kaili's words, the camera and everyone present looked at the three people at the judges' table.
Zhang Yan, Fujiwara Iemoto and Yuan Zhou were all used to being looked at. They were completely immune to this kind of gaze. They waited calmly for the waiter in front of them to lift the lid.
After a slight "crash" sound, the true colors of the four dishes were revealed in front of everyone.
"Huh?"
"It's a bit awesome."
"Indeed, they are exactly the same shape."
"No, look carefully and the chickens in front of each judge are different."
Yes, the side dishes can be skipped, everyone’s attention is focused on the main dish, Xifengyang Chicken.
Naxi Fengyang Langji has been introduced a long time ago. In fact, it is called spicy chicken, but the spicy chicken in front of the three of them is a little different.
Because the dishes inside are arranged in the image of a big rooster, with a tail made of bright red peppers, and tender yellow chicken cut into even small pieces, also wrapped with a layer of bright glutinous rice peppers.
Like a big and lively rooster spread out on a porcelain white plate, this dish is still very good in terms of presentation.
But soon everyone discovered the difference, which was what someone just said. Although the thing placed in front of everyone was a rooster, the parts of the meat were different.
Except for the media, all the people present were top young chefs, so naturally they could tell the difference at a glance.
"I'm interested." Yuan Zhou said.
"Yes, I am really serious about it. Mine is chicken breast." Zhang Yan said.
"This is diced meat made from chicken tenderloin." Fujiwara Iemoto said.
"Then let's start tasting." Yuan Zhou said.
While the three were tasting, Qin Kaili, like everyone else, began to stare at the expressions of the three judges seriously, waiting for the next explanation.
Yuan Zhou was the first to take it into his mouth. What was placed in front of him was the thick and elastic chicken leg meat of Xifeng Yang Lang Chicken.
Each piece was cut into chestnut-sized pieces of meat, wrapped in a layer of red glutinous rice cake peppers, and stuffed into your mouth. The chicken juices burst out as you chewed with your teeth, and the spicy flavor of the peppers also rushed in. It's in the throat, but it doesn't choke, it just has a burning sensation.
The chicken is very elastic, and you can still eat the tendons on the chicken legs, which tastes very good.
Because they were judges, the three of them took a few bites, drank water to rinse their mouths and stopped using their chopsticks.
Zhang Yan and Fujiwara Iemoto both looked at Yuan Zhou, waiting for him to speak first, but Yuan Zhou said: "You two come first."
"Then I'm welcome." Zhang Yan nodded in agreement and then said.
“Spicy and dry. Although it is the least chewy chicken breast, it is extremely tender and tender. The chicken is fresh and sweet. It is obviously the local Xifeng chicken. The taste combination does not lose the local flavor of Guizhou and is very good. Improvements have been made so that everyone can taste the local flavor of Guizhou in one bite, but it is also in line with the public's taste, which is very rare." Zhang Yan gave high praise.
Then Fujiwara Iemoto started to comment.
"We all know that as people age, not only their cooking skills, but also their teeth and taste deteriorate, and Chef Keson has made good use of this to allow everyone to eat the most suitable food. The chicken part with its own taste is both ingenuity and strength." Fujiwara Iemoto said with emotion.
After the two of them finished speaking, everyone started to look at Yuan Zhou, wanting to hear his comments.
Even Ke Sen, who had always been calm and honest, straightened his back subconsciously, wanting to listen carefully to Yuan Zhou's evaluation.
"Since Mr. Fujiwara and President Zhang Yan both praised him, let me talk about the shortcomings." Yuan Zhou said.
As soon as he said this, Ke Sen felt nervous.
"First of all, it's a good idea. The side dishes are made according to personal taste, but the taste of chicken upper leg meat and bangbang leg meat are different. There will be sweetness near the bones. Secondly, the chicken skin is not fully utilized." Yuan After Zhou made two points, he said nothing more.
As soon as Yuan Zhou finished speaking, a burst of discussion immediately broke out. No one doubted that Yuan Zhou's shortcomings were just nitpicking.
Everyone was amazed at Yuan Zhou's sensitive taste, but they were also used to Yuan Zhou's strictness.
Because all the chefs present knew how harsh Yuan Zhou was on them. After all, Yuan Zhou's work and rest schedule was still in everyone's database about Yuan Zhou.
Ke Sen, who was criticized, bowed to the three of them seriously and said: "Thank you for the judges' comments. I will work harder next time."
As a chef, Ke Sen naturally knew that what Yuan Zhou said was already instructive information.
"Okay, then let's start tasting Chef Sucha's dishes. The main course is lemon cashew chicken." Qin Kaili said at the right time.
"This dish is also a famous dish in Thailand. Let's ask our beautiful waiters to serve Chef Sucha's dishes to the judges." Qin Kaili waved her hand to start serving the dishes.
"I hope the three judges are satisfied with my dish today." Sucha said with a smile and loudly in accented Chinese.
"It seems that our Mr. Sucha is very confident, so let's let the judges start tasting." Qin Kaili also answered with a smile.
"Of course, but I still hope that Chef Yuan can criticize me more so that I can make progress next time." Sucha has a cheerful personality. Although his Chinese is not standard, he answers the questions very quickly.
"Haha, I think Mr. Sucha will get his wish. Chef Ke Sen just got a little hint, didn't he?" Qin Kaili said with a wink.
Here, Qin Kaili and Sucha were lively with questions and answers, while Yuan Zhou had already begun to taste Sucha's meals.
