How much raindrops must have fallen on your head?
what the hell?
There were 120 people in the audience, why did he only face Xu Zhang?
Fu Yu felt like crying just thinking about it.
After all, he was a chef with dazzling personal skills. Fu Yu felt a slight pain in his liver whenever he thought of Xu Zhang's long list of personal attributes.
What is this called?
Die before leaving the army?
Fu Yu smiled bitterly and turned to look at Xu Zhang.
Xu Zhang was obviously stunned for a moment!
He couldn't help but look at Fu Yu, and advised after careful consideration: "It's okay, friendship first, competition second, participation is the most important thing. If it doesn't work, I'll see what the level of the people in the same group is like, and I'll give it some slack. No, Is it too embarrassing for you to lose?"
Fu Yu suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "That's not the case, Chef Xu, you just need to perform normally, I'm actually pretty good too!"
Xu Zhangquan thought that Fu Yu was enjoying his misery, and his impression of him became better and better, so he comforted him: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to say anything. No matter what, I will definitely make good arrangements for tomorrow night, and you must be there!"
Xu Zhang had mentioned the treat twice, and it was quite formal. Fu Yu smiled and nodded, agreeing readily.
I was still a little worried at first, but after being interrupted like this, I seemed to feel really relaxed.
Fu Yu comforted himself by thinking that it was a good thing there was no competition in wire drawing and frying, otherwise Fu Yu felt that he might really have to kneel down in one round. After all, these two personal skills are what he is best at.
When the roster for the group stage was officially announced, everyone hurriedly checked it out.
Yao Shi and Du Yingchun were sitting in the audience at this time. After carefully reading the list, they both let out a long sigh of relief.
Du Yingchun had only heard of Fu Yu's name before, but now under the influence of Yao Shi, he unknowingly paid more attention to him.
Yao Shi's heart was tied to Fu Yu. From the beginning of the lottery, he had been silently praying in his heart not to meet Liu Yunong and Wang Yiqi, otherwise it would be a big loss.
Wang Yiqi was assigned to Group A, Liu Yunong was in Group B, Lu Xuefeng was in Group C, Xu Zhenbo was in Group D, and Fu Yu was also in Group D.
Yao Shi looked at it very carefully, looking at it from beginning to end, and Yao Shi suddenly said: "This group D is full of talents! Looking at the situation before, I should have wanted to take special care of Xu Zhenbo, but now it seems that it is quite difficult to advance. "
Du Yingchun nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I found that the more famous chefs in this province are basically concentrated in Group D. In comparison, the pressure on Group A is much less. The person who had to protect Group A before was Wang Yiqi. Group B is Liu Yunong, Group C is Lu Xuefeng, this Lu Xuefeng seems to be from Jixiangju, right? Didn’t Li Hai pat his chest and say at that time, this is their treasure? Then the first three groups are basically fine . This game is more interesting in Group D. Now it depends on who in this group can qualify."
At this time, Chen Dong, the chef of Zhengyangmen Restaurant who was sitting next to him, suddenly said: "Huh? Is this Xu Zhang the chef of Lao Shunrong Restaurant? I remember that this guy is quite capable, and he is on the same level as Zhenbo. If the two of them compete together, who can advance depends on luck."
When Du Yingchun heard this, he turned around and asked, "Cook Chen, do you think this Xu Zhang's cooking skills are good?"
Chen Dong nodded: "Well, last year or the year before last, he participated in the video competition held by the Provincial Food Association and won fourth place, which is considered top-notch in our province."
Du Yingchun suddenly said: "That's really awesome."
The Provincial Food Association's video competition is very fair and just, with a lot of talents. Those who can get a ranking in this competition must have a high level of cooking skills.
After Du Yingchun finished speaking, he turned to look at Yao Shi: "It seems that the competition pressure in Group D is indeed a bit high!"
After Yao Shi listened, he nodded with Chen Dong, then looked at Du Yingchun and said, "Well, theoretically, it's roughly like this."
Du Yingchun was stunned: "Theoretically? What do you mean?"
Yao Shi smiled slightly, but did not explain any more.
Because it’s useless to say it, no one will believe it!
There is actually nothing wrong with what Chen Dong said. Of course, the premise is that there is no bug like Fu Yu.
If there was no Fu Yu, the outline arrangement should be in this direction.
But Fu Yu was also assigned to Group D.
Thinking of this, Yao Shi sighed in his heart and said no more.
Chen Dong said cheerfully: "I saw this group, and apart from the few familiar faces, there was one who was only twenty-four years old. Yes, his name is Fu Yu. This is too young. This group Among the contestants, except for Xu Zhang, I think basically everyone else doesn’t have to worry too much.”
Yao Shi didn't want to answer the call at first, but seeing Chen Dong's happy and confident look, he couldn't help but said: "Chen Chen, in this competition, it still depends on the player's own level and condition. Don't be too If you are nervous, you should relax more. After all, the situation on the field is always unpredictable, so we should calm down."
Zhengyangmen Restaurant is in the provincial capital. Chen Dong and Yao Shi are not familiar with each other. They have dealt with each other once before, but at that time Yao Shi came to the provincial capital to join a music restaurant for training and inspection, and was invited to Zhengyangmen Restaurant. Meal.
At that time, Chen Dong was hosting the owner of the music restaurant's main store, so his impression of Yao Shi was that he ran a music restaurant, and he didn't know much about Chollima.
Du Yingchun echoed from the side: "No, and luck is also very important. If you can meet the cooking skills you are good at, your chances of promotion will be greater."
Chen Dong said happily: "Yes, luck is still very important. Look, this group D actually met such a young chef. By the way, we finally met. After the competition is over, let's go to our restaurant for dinner. Well, how about it? I’ll be responsible for the arrangements!”
Chen Dong and Du Yingchun were relatively familiar with each other, and they were very enthusiastic about the invitation.
"I think there will be some good news today. Let's celebrate by the way. I also left some good wine in the store, haha."
"Chef Yao, when the time comes, you will also come together. We are all friends. I will be the host and we will have a good gathering!"
After the team members were determined by drawing lots, the players officially entered the competition area in order.
Each group has four match points.
It is said to be a match point, but it actually consists of cooking kitchen stations everywhere. The complete display is the same as the atmosphere in the kitchen when working.
Xu Zhang looked back at Fu Yu and whispered encouragement: "Xiao Fu, don't be nervous for a while!"
Fu Yu was looking around at the layout of the arena. When he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Can you not be nervous?
The atmosphere is set off so well.
Xu Zhang smiled: "In a competition like this, mentality is very important. Just think of it as if you are here for training. Thinking about it this way, doesn't it feel better?"
Having said this, Xu Zhang inevitably felt a little guilty when he thought about the scene during the competition.
He really thought Fu Yu was a nice guy, but he didn't expect that he would get off to a bad start and meet him as soon as he came on the field.
Otherwise, maybe you can really advance to experience the atmosphere of the game and gain some knowledge.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said: "No matter what, we have agreed that I will treat you to a big dinner tomorrow."
At any rate, it can be regarded as compensation in disguise.
Fu Yu smiled when he heard this and said seriously: "Okay, but, Brother Xu, I will definitely go all out for today's game. If you let it go on purpose, then we won't eat this meal. You are looking down on us." I!"
When Xu Zhang heard what Fu Yu said, he immediately smiled cheerfully and said: "Okay, it's a deal, I like your personality, Xiao Fu, I find that we are so compatible!"
The two followed the order, obeyed the instructions, and soon began to line up to enter.
The same judges, the same kitchen table, the same kitchen utensils, the same environment, everyone started cooking demonstrations one after another.
Fu Yu entered the field first, and Xu Zhang enthusiastically cheered from behind: "Come on, Xiao Fu, you are the best!"
Fu Yu: "."
Chef Xu is a really nice person, but his personality is a bit upright, as if he was entering the college entrance examination.
However, it also shows that this person is very down-to-earth and really worth getting along with.
Fu Yu thought that after the game is over, he must exchange contact information with the other party and communicate frequently in the future.
Of course, it was definitely not because Xu Zhang was a generous person and liked to pay for guests.
After Fu Yu entered the competition site, he first introduced himself according to the procedure.
The dishes to be cooked are predetermined, stir-fried lamb, and all the ingredients have been prepared.
After entering the contestants, they only need to go to the food selection area and pick up the seasonings, side dishes and kitchen utensils they need to add.
The preparations for these things on the field are still very comprehensive.
In this way, a lot of time was saved. After the contestants took the ingredients, they started cooking directly.
Although it is a competition, there is no strict time limit, so the contestants look very calm and do not appear to be in a hurry.
Taking the opportunity to replenish the side dishes and seasonings, Fu Yu quickly looked through the classic old-flavor recipes for the specific cooking methods of stir-fried lamb.
He had just smoothed out the specific operation steps. When he looked up, he saw a round plate placed on the shelf of kitchen utensils. It had a wide round body and a rough texture on the outside.
With just one look, Fu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up!
What does the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people mean?
This plate is actually exactly the same as the sample dish display on the classic old taste recipe.
After taking the things and returning to the kitchen counter, Fu Yu didn't waste any more time and started cooking directly.
Before actually taking the spoon, he first arranged and adjusted all the seasonings in the order according to his habit, and then determined the various ingredients and preparations, and then started to operate.
Thanks to Liu Yuqing's habit of setting up a video recorder every day to record his cooking videos, Fu Yu could calmly ignore it and only focus on the cooking at hand, even if the video recorder was pointed directly at him.
Since there are no small workers to help cook, everything needs to be done by oneself.
The lamb meat is very fresh and has been soaked in water in advance.
Fu Yu directly cut it into equal-sized cubes, then put the frying spoon on the fire, poured in an appropriate amount of sesame oil, heated it up, added the meat pieces, and began to stir-fry.
The key to stir-frying lamb is that the fire must be large and the temperature must be high, so that the fat from the lamb can be removed in an instant.
During the stir-frying process, it is necessary not only to ensure that the mutton is cooked, but also not to stick to the pan, which requires the chef to master the heat and experience.
After the lamb meat was put into the pot, Fu Yu started to stir the spoon.
From the position of holding the handle of the pot to the amplitude and strength of shaking the wok, he did it with great care and precision.
This is Fu Yu's own method of shaking the spoon.
In this way, the heat of the ingredients in the pot can be accurately controlled, and at the same time, it can best save the stress on the wrist and make the operation more convenient.
The whole spoon-turning process is smooth and fast!
The lamb meat was almost cooked. Fu Yu held the spoon with one hand and quickly added celery, vermicelli and other side dishes with the other hand.
All the side dishes were added to the pot, and Fu Yu continued to stir the spoon.
At this time, the camera lens that happened to be recorded turned around.
Suddenly, Fu Yu's cooking image appeared on the big screen.
The eyes of everyone in the judging area and the audience fell on Fu Yu, observing carefully.
Turning the spoon is the most critical step in the stir-fry operation, and it is also the core of the entire competition.
For Fu Yu, there is a slight gap in proficiency in the ability to operate a spoon compared to skills such as sliding and frying, which have been honed repeatedly in practical classrooms.
However, through the impact of upgrading to advanced skills, he gradually gained a little understanding of the operation when frying ingredients!
Therefore, in terms of grasping the details, controlling the turning of the spoon, and finally adding the soup stock to simmer, we try to achieve a certain degree of precise control of the effect!
Several judges at the judging table, two of whom are leaders of the Provincial Food Association, were really emotional watching Fu Yu cooking!
You are worthy of being a member of your own association, you are really very powerful!
During the Chinese New Year, Fu Yu failed to attend the awards ceremony at the annual meeting, but it was precisely because of this move that he attracted everyone's attention.
It was not until news later reported the specific reason that Fu Yu cooperated with the police in solving the zombie meat case that it began to spread in the circle.
This also made many members of the Provincial Food Association, although they have not yet met Fu Yu, already pay close attention to him and have a good impression of him.
Fu Yu had no idea about this and was focused on the cooking operation at hand.
After the lamb meat is fried, the heat is turned off and the food is put on the plate.
At this moment, the camera shifted to the next contestant.
Although there was only time for the camera to be shown, the two judges from the Provincial Food Association saw it with bright eyes.
Fu Yu's spooning operation was very perfect, and his control of posture, angle and force was very precise.
and
Perhaps because they were observing through the camera and Fu Yu's hand speed was too slow, the two judges only felt that there were some important details in the entire operation that flashed before their eyes.
Before he could take a closer look, he was cut off by the sudden stop of the camera transfer.
What a pity!
However, it is precisely because of this that even if the camera has moved to the next person's cooking, the two of them are still focused on Fu Yu's operation.
