Everyone outside the stadium stared at the scene of the contestants cooking on the big screen.
Watch with concentration!
Others were watching Fu Yu's cooking operations.
Du Yingchun and Lu Ming, however, unanimously paid attention to the division of labor arrangements of several co-players on the starting field.
The reason why the cooperation team members are arranged to be present in the finals is to help the contestants cook together.
After all, the content of the competition is all special dishes that some contestants have never cooked before.
What is tested is the player's learning ability and ability to cope with on-site cooking.
Du Yingchun was watching Fu Yu's cooking operations with a completely uninterested mind.
He watched helplessly as Fu Yu assigned tasks to the members of the cooperation team resolutely. Several people were busy and the scene looked quite lively.
Lu Ming glanced at the screen and looked at Fu Yu who was going to the stew area. He turned around and asked in a low voice: "Chef Du, what's going on with Fu Yu now? Do you really plan to take charge of the whole thing yourself?"
Before Du Yingchun could speak, he heard Qiao Boliang in front of him saying in disbelief: "Fu Yu is not going to let the members of the cooperation team take the initiative? There is no such thing as being in the limelight, right? This is the finals, there is a time limit, how can he Thought?"
"The people in Ruihetai are also very interesting. They come to participate in the event and help the contestants cook together. This is great. They have become the boss! Fu Yu is young and inexperienced. They are all veteran chefs. How can they still do it?" Don’t you know the severity at all?”
Qiao Boliang has been an apprentice with a master since he was a child. He has never studied much. Because of his talent, he has had a very smooth journey. He has a high level of cooking skills. He has never encountered any setbacks in his life and work. He has an upright personality and never speaks well. Don't worry about others.
Hearing Qiao Boliang's words, Lu Ming sighed. This Master Qiao is really straight-tempered. He doesn't speak in any roundabout way, and he doesn't get used to anyone.
One sentence directly offended two groups of people.
However, in front of the camera, Lu Ming, as the chief judge, still had to find a way to help smooth things over, so he smiled and said: "Chef Qiao, I see that Fu Yu's arrangement is quite good, mainly because of the cooking time of these dishes. He arranged the operation time very accurately and cleverly!”
"In fact, the purpose of inviting members of the cooperation team to join the finals is to help the contestants better cook the entire table. As long as the arrangements are reasonable and all the dishes can be cooked within the limited time, that's good."
What Qiao Boliang wanted to say was directly interrupted by Shen Jintai: "We will discuss the personnel arrangements later. While Fu Yu is not cooking now, let's take a look at the situation of other contestants. Fu Yu's ability is still very good. Since he dares to challenge the independent leadership, he should have planned it long ago and there will be no problem."
Upon hearing this, the host hurriedly communicated with the photographer, and the big screen was quickly replaced by cooking scenes of other contestants.
When Qiao Boliang saw the cooking scenes of other contestants on the big screen, he could only temporarily stop and pay attention to the situation of other contestants.
Obviously, the cooking status of other contestants was what the planning team had originally expected.
The members of the cooperation team and the contestants cook together and work hand in hand. During the process, they will communicate with each other and study the cooking steps and seasoning ratios of the dishes.
Since there are two chefs working together, the cooking progress is very fast.
The more reasonable the arrangement of other players, the faster the progress. On the contrary, Fu Yu's group is a bit too special and unconventional.
Many people even began to agree with Qiao Boliang's thoughts in their hearts without saying anything.
Is it because Fu Yu has successfully obtained the highest score in several consecutive games, so he is starting to push himself too hard?
Indeed, it is a good thing to try your best to show your personal cooking ability in the finals, which will allow the judges to more comprehensively discover all the cooking advantages of the contestants, making it easier to get high scores.
But the prerequisite is that he can successfully cook all the dishes within the specified time, and at the same time ensure that the taste and presentation of the dishes are perfect.
And this is a very difficult thing.
It is not difficult to cook four dishes and one soup in two hours.
The hard part is to successfully cook a dish that you have never tried before.
Even if you are lucky and one or two of the dishes are familiar to you, you still have to worry about cooking other brand-new dishes.
Unknowingly, everyone present was clearly watching the contestants' cooking demonstration on the big screen, but they began to worry about the situation on Fu Yu's side unconsciously.
There were not many contestants left in the finals, and the big screen took turns to play.
The camera turned and the scene of Fu Yu's cooking area appeared again.
Fu Yu was cutting the cooked pork with his head down.
He Lanqing saw the lotus root pieces changing color and wanted to come over to ask Fu Yu, but was stopped directly by Wang Jialiang!
At this moment!
Fu Yu is concentrating on cutting!
When cooking the white meat casserole dish, in addition to the basic operation methods, the most important step is to cut the white meat.
The cooked white meat should be cut into thin slices with alternating fat and lean portions. It should not be too thin, which will affect the taste, but it should not be too thick.
The right thickness depends entirely on the chef's own judgment and mastery based on experience.
Although he had asked Wang Jialiang before, Fu Yu decided to follow the standards of the classic old-flavor recipes in terms of cooking details.
He accurately cut the white meat into 1mm thin slices, not roughly, but very precisely controlling the thickness.
After successfully cutting off a piece of white meat, Fu Yu said to He Lanqing, who was standing next to him just now: "Put the sauerkraut on the bottom! Pay attention to spreading it evenly!"
He Lanqing was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Fu Yu was talking about!
At this time, Wang Jialiang suddenly stepped forward and said, "I'll do it!"
As soon as he heard this, he realized what Fu Yu was going to do!
When cutting the sauerkraut, the knife was specially laid out before cutting it. The cut sauerkraut shreds were thin and long, and Fu Yu meant to flatten the sauerkraut shreds and put them on the bottom of the casserole.
This kind of detail operation, which is similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder, makes Wang Jialiang, who has always paid attention to this aspect, feel particularly recognized!
In fact, this bottoming operation can only be clearly seen when cooking.
When it's actually served to the table, no one may even notice.
But it is the subtleties like this that are most likely to impress people.
After all, being willing to take the trouble to do even such a small thing is in itself an expression of love for cooking!
Lu Ming looked at Fu Yu's detailed request on the screen and was actually a little surprised. He turned slightly sideways to Du Yingchun and said, "The pickled cabbage is spread evenly, making it easier to taste."
Sauerkraut is an ingredient that needs to be stewed for a long time to become soft and flavorful. Due to time constraints, the stewing time of this white meat casserole does not take too long.
It's actually very good to handle it like Fu Yu!
Fu Yu quickly finished cutting the white meat, and Wang Jialiang just put all the shredded pickled cabbage into the bottom of the casserole.
He took over the work smoothly, picked up the vermicelli soaked in cold water, picked it up and pinched it between his index finger and middle finger. The strands of vermicelli were immediately arranged neatly like the teeth of a wooden comb, and then moved along the wall of the casserole. Form into a circle, and continue to spread the excess along the inside.
Fu Yu actually plated the vermicelli on the pickled cabbage neatly, and evenly arranged it in circles.
During the whole process, because the camera did not deliberately close the distance, everyone outside the venue could only see him making movements to smooth over the fans, but the specific appearance in the casserole could not be clearly seen.
If they saw it, they would definitely be shocked, because even Wang Jialiang would find it incredible at this time!
This is amazing!
Everyone who has done it knows how soft and slippery the soaked vermicelli is.
But Fu Yu could actually arrange the fans into such a neat shape!
This technique is so unusual!
How long have you been practicing?
Wang Jialiang looked at the neatly arranged fans, and couldn't help but look up at Fu Yu.
He suddenly discovered that Fu Yu had an indescribable aura when he was cooking. He was very focused and powerful, and even he couldn't compare with it!
Before this exclamation could be digested, Wang Jialiang suddenly remembered something in hindsight!
When cutting the cooked pork, it is usually placed in the refrigerator to chill for a while, so that the pork will not slip in the hands and it will be easier to cut into regular thin slices.
Only then did Wang Jialiang realize that he had forgotten to tell Fu Yu about the cutting tips.
He really didn't mean it, mainly because the white meat casserole dish is a very popular signature dish in Ruihetai.
In the store, the chef usually keeps an eye on the cooking temperature of the meat. After it is cooked, it is handed over to the workers to refrigerate it. When it is cut, the pork that is delivered to hand is ready to be cut directly.
Because his usual work habits were so ingrained, he didn't think about it at all.
And because of this, he suddenly realized that when Fu Yu was cutting it, he had used cooked pork that had only been cooled to cut into such perfect slices of meat!
The conscience of the Wang family couldn't help but feel more and more emotional!
What is the origin of Fu Yu?
No wonder he was able to get the highest score in several games in a row before. This person’s cooking skills are really amazing!
However, no matter how turbulent Wang Jialiang's heart was, he clearly knew that this was not the best time to communicate.
He silently stood by and helped cook, but his attitude changed obviously, from supervising to observing and learning.
However, this was really not the time to be distracted. Fu Yu quickly plated the vermicelli and placed the sliced white meat neatly into the casserole.
At this moment, Fu Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Give me the green onions and ginger slices!"
After everything is put, sprinkle a little salt, MSG and pepper.
Fu Yu adjusted the flavor, but before he could speak, Wang Jialiang had already brought the nearly cooked bone broth and said proactively: "I'll pour it, you watch the amount!"
Fu Yu nodded: "Okay!"
It was a very casual conversation, and everyone outside the venue looked at the picture on the big screen, but there was an indescribable feeling of coordination in their hearts!
It's so natural, as if the two people have been working together for many years and have a tacit understanding.
Fu Yu's command was crisp and clear, and Wang Jialiang executed it without hesitation!
Fu Yu poured a little Shaoxing wine into the casserole, and finally added bone broth, controlling the bone broth to cover the white meat.
This degree is actually very difficult to control!
It is necessary to consider not only the amount of seasonings used, the addition of bone broth, but also the cooking time of the ingredients.
Wang Jialiang looked at Fu Yu and saw that when he was adding the bone broth, he obviously slowed down the pouring speed when he saw that the white meat was almost submerged.
The posture is very stable, as if there are graduation marks on the inner wall of the casserole!
When he saw the final amount of bone broth added, Wang Jialiang suddenly praised it secretly in his heart!
The amount of bone broth is just right. Because of years of cooking, Wang Jialiang is really skilled in cooking this dish.
After adding the bone broth, just cover the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer.
Taking advantage of this time, Fu Yu asked Wang Jialiang to prepare Ruihetai's secret dipping sauce.
This kind of thing can only be made by Wang Jialiang himself. After all, it is secretly made. Fu Yu, an outsider, must not interfere.
Wang Jialiang got busy, and Fu Yu was not idle either. He turned around and followed He Lanqing to look at the glutinous rice lotus roots that were almost dry.
Just now He Lanqing came over to call Fu Yu, but was stopped by Wang Jialiang.
The steamed glutinous rice lotus root was okay, but the color was obviously a bit dark.
But Fu Yu had never seen Ruihetai's sweet-scented osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root before, so he was completely unaware of this.
Wang Jialiang didn't take it seriously. After all, even if this dish is steamed in Ruihetai, the color is very random. Sometimes when he is busy, the color will be darker than the one in front of him.
It will not affect the final appearance of the dish. It tastes good and the color is darker and lighter. As long as there is no reference, it will not attract the attention of outsiders at all.
When steaming this dish, it is not difficult as long as the stuffing is done. The real test of the chef's cooking skills is the next operation.
Fu Yu put a piece of net oil on a bowl mat, peeled off the skin of the lotus root, cut off both ends, cut it into round cakes of moderate thickness, put them into the bowl, then added white sugar, rock sugar, osmanthus sugar, covered with net oil and steamed them in a basket .
Wait until the rock sugar is completely melted before proceeding to the next step.
But Fu Yu was not in a hurry to cook fried liver and fried tripe.
Both of these dishes are quick dishes that can be served right out of the pot.
The rules of the finals require contestants to finish cooking the entire table before they can be presented to the judges for evaluation. Therefore, it is best to cook quick dishes like this at the end so as not to affect the taste.
Fu Yu has considered this aspect very comprehensively.
The roast duck has been put into the stew oven, the white meat casserole and the sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root have also been put into the steamer. The remaining two quick dishes cannot be cooked.
Then there is nothing else to do now but wait.
Wang Jialiang is actually a little embarrassed. After all, there are four people in the cooking area now. They are just standing there with big eyes and small eyes. What if they happen to be played on the big screen?
When the judges saw this scene, they would probably be a little speechless, right?
He quickly thought about it, and even planned to take advantage of this period of time to exchange cooking experiences with Fu Yu. It was better than standing around like this.
At this time, Fu Yu suddenly said: "I just saw dried tofu in the food section, please bring some!"
Wang Jialiang was stunned?
What?
Dried tofu?
Which dish can use this ingredient? (End of chapter)
