Chapter 2007 Although I Am Inferior in Knife Skills, But...
The filling of traditional straw bao buns is pork filling, which is carefully prepared with diced bamboo shoots and cake, old pickled soy sauce and small ground sesame oil. It is called three fresh fillings.
"Kacha"
When you take a bite, the first thing you inhale is the scalding soup, which is a little bit hot for your mouth, and then the plump texture of the pork, coupled with the fresh diced bamboo shoots and diced cakes with a hint of sweetness, the taste is still good. of.
"If the steaming time is one minute shorter, it will be more in line with my taste." Yuanzhou thought to himself.
Without stopping talking, Yuanzhou followed the action of the disc and ate all four buns directly into his stomach.
They had steamed buns for lunch and stir-fried vegetables for dinner. Yuan Zhou didn’t check any restaurants in advance this time, after all, he was here to participate in the competition. So I was free-wheeling, eating wherever I went, which was considered casual.
Yuan Zhou ate a lot while shopping and eating, and often had some "snacks" alone at night.
For example, gourd chicken, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, Dongpo elbow, etc.
The reason why Yuan Zhou is not fat at all is because he exercises every morning and goes to the gym regularly. This is most obvious when you look at Ms. Feng.
The next day came when the Silver Spoon Evaluation Conference began.
The Silver Spoon is of great significance to the Shandong Cuisine Association, especially the Shandong Cuisine chefs, so the Silver Spoon Conference and the Association also attach great importance to it.
A huge banner with white letters on a red background is now hung outside the normally empty gate of the association.
[The opening of the 10th Silver Spoon Evaluation Conference]
The font is very large, at least Yuan Zhou can see it at a glance when he gets up in the morning to exercise. It is very eye-catching.
The conference started at ten o'clock in the morning, which was also an auspicious number. Yuan Zhou did not sleep in, but got up at his usual pace and exercised in the gym provided by the hotel before starting his day's itinerary.
After breakfast, Yuanzhou went through the dishes he planned to cook for the next few days in his mind again. After finding that there were no problems, he looked at the time and it was already nine o'clock, and decided to go there early.
The four contestants all stayed in the same hotel, but Yuan Zhou had never met them.
Walking into the Shandong Cuisine Association, we were led directly to the competition hall by the welcome staff.
There were already many people in the hall at this time. Of course, the most eye-catching thing must be the four stoves on the high platform over there and the all-inclusive array of ingredients.
"Xiao Yuan, here, come here." Zhou Shijie's eyes were really sharp, and Yuan Zhou was seen as soon as he stepped through the door.
Yuan Zhou saw Zhou Shijie waving and walked towards him.
Today, Yuan Zhou is wearing Hanfu. Of course, it is a style with narrow sleeves suitable for activities. It is made of silver [Ling Ling Kan Shu 00ks] gray material with a little dark ink pattern. If you look closely, you can see that it is a lotus pattern. It matches Yuan Zhou’s tall and straight figure. He has a tall and handsome figure, and looks very handsome. The last part of the sentence is about self-feeling.
"Hello, Uncle Zhou." Yuan Zhou approached and found several people surrounding Zhou Shijie.
They are all about the same age as Zhou Shijie, some are older, and their status is basically the same.
"Chef Wang, chef Yue is good." Yuan Zhou recognized two of them as the two Shandong cuisine chefs who had crossed paths with Chef Ding Jie Niu before.
"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a long time, Chef Yuan. I didn't expect to see you here." Chef Wang is in line with people's idea of a chef. He is white and plump.
"Chef Yuan, long time no see." Chef Yue nodded towards Yuan Zhou.
"These are Chef Zhuang and Chef Mai, your recommenders, Xiao Yuan." Zhou Shijie pointed to the remaining two people.
"Chef Zhuang, hello Chef Mai, thank you for your help this time." Yuan Zhou nodded.
Although I can find someone without the help of two people,
But people who offer to help definitely need to be thanked. This is a matter of politeness.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, it's just a matter of process, otherwise it would be our turn to recommend you." Chef Zhuang said with a smile.
He admired Yuan Zhou's cooking skills quite a lot. He had been cooking Shandong cuisine all his life, but in the end he was outclassed by a young man. He couldn't help but accept it.
"Old man Zhuang is right, Chef Yuan is too polite for something that can be done with a little effort." Chef Mai also said with a smile, the wrinkles on his face spread out like a chrysanthemum.
If Chef Mai's apprentice saw the smiling master here, he would probably burst into tears. You must know that Chef Mai is usually very strict, always has a straight face, and is rarely satisfied.
After saying hello, the group started chatting. Of course, the chefs mostly talked about cooking skills or ingredients when they got together.
Several chefs put Yuan Zhou on the same level as them, so after Yuan Zhou joined, they talked about the previous topics.
With Yuan Zhou's current knowledge of cooking, he was definitely able to handle such a small scene with ease, and soon everyone started chatting enthusiastically.
This time it was also a coincidence that the only five judges, except Zhou Shijie, were the four chefs Wang, Yue, Zhuang and Mai who had just greeted Yuan Zhou.
Although everyone is very familiar with Yuan Zhou's cooking skills and agree that the silver spoon must belong to Yuan Zhou, the system is the system, and the formality still has to go.
"The chefs are busy, I'm going to prepare." Yuan Zhou checked that it was getting late and stopped talking.
"It's really late, Xiao Yuan, go ahead." Zhou Shijie subconsciously looked at his watch and saw that he was already fifty. It was indeed late.
"Let's discuss Chef Yuan's issue after it's over." Chef Zhuang said carelessly.
"That's right." Chef Wang also nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I also learned a lot from communicating with several chefs." Yuan Zhou said.
After saying hello to several chefs, he walked towards the table on the other side of the high platform.
Unlike when Yuan Zhou came in just now, there were already many people above. No one was like Yuan Zhou. Washing, cutting, stir-frying and plating were all done by one person.
The other chefs all brought helpers, some one, some two. Except for the stove at the far end, no one was there, and the other places were occupied.
Yuanzhou doesn't mind which stove has the floor.
"Are you Chef Yuan Zhou?" A tall and burly man looked at Yuan Zhou.
The man was about forty years old, in his prime. He was wearing a chef's uniform with black stripes and a chef's hat. He was even taller. He looked at Yuan Zhou with a serious expression.
"Yes, hello, Chef Gao." Yuan Zhou had seen the photos of the other three chefs, so he recognized them at a glance.
"I am willing to be inferior to Chef Yuan in his knife skills, but Bian Shao... I, Gao, will not give in easily." Gao Fei said with a serious look on his face.
In fact, when he said this, he was already much weaker.
But Gao Fei really thinks so. He feels that a person's energy is limited, so how can he be good in all aspects?
"Hello, Chef Yuan, my master really can't spare the time this time. Let me apologize to you and say that we will meet again next time." A man in his forties came up.
Breaking the somewhat serious scene that Gao Fei had just maintained, Yuan Zhou recognized at a glance that this was Bai Subo, Mo Yuchu's disciple.
