Dare to cook

Chapter 54 Zijunlou Seafood PK (please collect! Please support!)

Yao Yu's suggestion quickly received responses from two teammates.

Among them, the male teammate said:
"My name is Mao Yuan. I'm from Xijiang Province. I'm good at making Gan cuisine and Hongdu earthen pot soup. I can also cook local dishes. Of course, I can't compare with Yao Yu."

The female teammate also smiled sweetly at Yao Yu:
"I'm Xu Lin. I know some local dishes, western dishes, and Beijing dishes. I'm best at making desserts."

"If you need to make desserts in the competition dishes, you can let me come."

After Mao Yuan and Xu Lin reported their names, Chu Xinmei and Xie Zhixuan also briefly introduced themselves.

Several people chatted awkwardly with each other, and they had a general understanding of each other.

After the teams are assigned, the specific content of the competition will be announced next.

A tournament explainer came onto the stage with a microphone and said to all the players: "Please be quiet. Now we are going to explain the rules of this competition."

"This competition adopts a one-on-one group confrontation elimination system."

"However, your competition venue is not here. Please see the big screen for details..."

As soon as the voice fell, the big screen in the venue lit up again, showing the photos and names of [-] restaurants.

These restaurants and restaurants are very famous and top restaurants in Shanghai.

Among them, Lu Tao's Lu Garden, Yang Rui's Yanyu Diaohua Building, and Liu Zicheng's Zijun Building are all impressively listed.

The game commentator continued:

"As you can see, the [-] restaurants on the screen are very famous restaurants in Shanghai. And these restaurants are the venues for your team competition today."

"Next, please send representatives from each group to draw lots."

"Which restaurant you have drawn, you have to go to that restaurant and accept the competition questions prepared for you by the chef of the restaurant."

As soon as this remark came out, the players immediately started talking.

In the past, when team competitions were held, everyone competed in the same competition venue.

But this time, the organizers not only moved the venue of the team competition to major restaurants, but also gave the right to set the questions to the directors of each restaurant.

In this way, the uncertainty and randomness of the game will be greatly improved.

Because each restaurant’s style and main dishes are different.Different restaurants have different difficulty levels of test questions.

For example, if a chef who is good at Sichuan cuisine is assigned to a restaurant that specializes in light dishes, his culinary skills will be limited to a certain extent.

For another example, a team of chefs who are all good at Cantonese cuisine and a team of chefs who are all good at Mongolian cuisine are assigned to the same store to cook roasted whole lamb.

Then it must be that the team that is good at cooking Mongolian dishes is more likely to win and advance.

Assign random teammates, randomly select restaurants, accept random exam questions?
Gee, this is how the team competition is interesting!

Yao Yu understood the rules of the game thoroughly, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "Which one of you wants to go up and draw lots?"

"I'll go." Mao Yuan said, "I hope I can get a restaurant competition that is easier to handle."

With that said, Mao Yuan walked to the front desk.

One minute later, Mao Yuan came back with a silk scroll in his hand.He smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone, bad luck, I won the Zijun Building."

Zijun Building is recognized as the best seafood restaurant in Shanghai's catering industry.

Since Yao Yu and the others won the lottery in Zijunlou, it means that the next exam questions they will face will definitely be related to seafood.

Moreover, the assessment standards must be very high.

"It doesn't matter, cooking seafood is not difficult. Besides, we just need to defeat our opponents and do better than them." Xu Lin heard this and comforted her.

Xie Zhixuan asked: "Who is our opponent?"

Mao Yuan shook his head and said:

"I don't know, it's not written on the scroll. This scroll is the certificate to prove that we went to the Zijun Building to compete. Maybe we won't know who the opponent is until we get to the Zijun Building with the scroll."

"In that case, let's go to Zijun Tower first." Yao Yu said.

Nearby, other contestants had already left, rushing to compete in the restaurants they had drawn.

……

after an hour.

Yao Yu and others met their opponents in Zijun Building.

It was a team of five burly men.

The temporary captain of the opponent's team was named Chen Zhengyang, and he was a rather anxious-looking cook.Those who didn't know at first glance thought he was almost forty.

After Yao Yu saw these opponents, he used [Cooking Scout].

According to the skill feedback, the opponent with the highest culinary skills is Chen Zhengyang, with a level of lv7 (26345).

Except for Chen Zhengyang, the culinary skills of the others were all below lv7, so they seemed harmless.

After Yao Yu found out the details of these people, he felt much more at ease.

Compared with the average strength of the opponent, Xu Lin, who is the weakest on his side, also has a cooking level similar to Chen Zhengyang.

In the next game, there will be no suspense about the outcome.

It was nearly eleven o'clock.

Yao Yu and the others all changed into chef uniforms, and walked into the back kitchen of Zijun Building under the leadership of the staff.

The back kitchen of Zijun Building is very large, it seems to exceed [-] square meters.

At noon today, the Zijunlou restaurant is closed to the public.Only [-] regular customers were invited to serve as food judges for this competition.

In order to provide a venue for Yao Yu and the others, Zijunlou vacated the entire back kitchen.

When Yao Yu followed the crowd into the back kitchen, he saw Liu Zicheng and Bai Yuanchu here.

Liu Zicheng is the founder of Zijun Building and the creator of this competition.

Liu Zicheng and Bai Yuanchu were a little surprised when they saw Yao Yu. They didn't expect him to be assigned to the Zijun Building for the competition.

After the players of the two teams were in place, Liu Zicheng, the creator of the question, announced the question of the game.

"The content of this competition is very simple. Contestants from both sides are required to use four ingredients such as abalone, cod, lobster, and scallop as the main ingredients to make six dishes that are enough for 20 people within two and a half hours."

"Competitors on both sides must use cod and scallops to make two dishes each. Among the six dishes, only one soup dish and steamed dish can appear, and the soup dish cannot be used as a steamed dish."

"In the end, whichever team's dish has the highest total score will be the winner."

"Now, the game officially begins!"

After Liu Zicheng finished speaking, he left the back kitchen.Only Bai Yuanchu was left to assist the staff of the famous competition to supervise the competition.

As soon as Liu Zicheng left, the players on both sides immediately started a discussion.

Mao Yuan and Xu Lin surrounded Yao Yu and asked in a low voice, "How do you distribute the four ingredients and six dishes?"

Yao Yu thought for a while and said:

"Cod is easy to cook. Braised cod with green onions, steamed cod, and stewed cod with tofu are all good. There are also many ways to cook scallops, such as vermicelli scallops, oyster sauce scallops, and stir-fried scallops."

"The key is, do you want steamed vegetables or soup vegetables?"

Two common ways to cook seafood are steaming and making soups.

If Liu Zicheng did not make a clear request, the players of the two teams would definitely do both.

But now that the game has requirements, they can only make a choice.

After hearing this, Chu Xinmei said:

"There's a question here, does stew count as soup? If it does, you can't make both steamed cod and cod stewed with tofu!"
