Gourmet conquest starts from the entertainment industry

"Husband, this, this fish seems to be breathing, it, it seems to be alive?"

Zhao Jinmai looked at Zhou Mochen in shock, which was beyond her knowledge of dishes.

"Yes, is it delicious?"

Zhou Mochen said with a smile. This is the result of his persistent study for a long time. The moment the dish is eaten, it seems to come alive in people's taste buds. But that certainly wasn't really alive. It's a description of food in another realm.

"Well, it's delicious!"

Zhao Jinmai ate the fish with a smile.

At this time, the two little guys also came running with bowls and chopsticks. Zhou Mochen shared some fish meat without fishbone.

"Daddy, good time!"

Zhou Xiangxiang narrowed his eyes and tasted the delicacy in his mouth. Just like Zhao Jinmai. With just one snack, Zhou Qianqian is more of a lady. I ate the fish in small bites.

"Hey, eat more if it's delicious."

Zhou Mochen smiled and put some fish in his daughter's bowl.

"Honey, I believe you will definitely win this competition."

Zhao Jinmai looked at Zhou Mochen with a smile. Although she didn't know much about it, she knew that Zhou Mochen, who had a skill, was already invincible.

"Don't worry. Mine can't escape anyway."

Zhou Mochen wasn't worried about the next game at all. Just wondering what to cook.

Time passed day by day, and the private restaurant was finally closed, and it was time for Zhou Mochen to go to the imperial capital.

Originally, Jiang Yingying also wanted to close the door and follow. It was stopped by Zhou Mochen, who said that he would go together again when the Global Kitchen God Competition was held. This time it's a small scene.

In addition to Zhou Mochen's family of four, Fifth Jinchuan also followed, while Su Wenwen was not so interested and went to the restaurant to help.

As soon as he arrived in the imperial capital, Zhou Mochen took his wife, daughter and apprentice to Qin Zongsheng's house.

"Hey, who are these two little babies? They look too good-looking."

After a few people entered the door, Ren Xueting immediately set her sights on the two little guys, Zhou Xiangxiang and Zhou Qianqian.

"Call grandma."

Zhao Jinmai stroked the heads of the two little girls and said.

"grandmother!"

The two childish words made Ren Xueting extremely happy.

"Hey, the little guy is growing up really fast. He didn't speak so well when he came here two months ago."

Ren Xueting said with a smile.

"Teacher, where is my teacher?"

Zhou Mochen looked in the yard, but Qin Zongsheng was nowhere to be seen.

"Your teacher, I went to prepare for the competition. I said I was worried, so I went to have a look."

Ren Xueting said with a smile.

It turned out that it was almost noon, and Qin Zongsheng didn't come back, and Zhou Mochen and Fifth Jinchuan also went to the kitchen early to make lunch.

Qin Zongsheng didn't come back until 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

"You little monkeys are here."

Qin Zongsheng said with a smile.

"Teacher, are things arranged for the venue?"

Several people greeted with a smile, and Zhou Mochen asked.

"Well, it's arranged, and it will start tomorrow. After preparing for so long, it depends on the time of tomorrow. How is it? Is there any pressure?"

Qin Zongsheng asked seriously.

"Teacher, don't you know my level?"

Zhou Mochen said dumbfounded.

"I asked because I knew your level."

Qin Zongsheng said angrily.

"Okay, I promise to take back the crown of the God of Cooking."

Zhou Mochen said confidently.

"It's a good thing to have this confidence, but you should also pay attention to tomorrow's game. Don't capsize in the gutter."

Qin Zongsheng reminded.

"Teacher, they still want to play tricks tomorrow?"

Zhou Mochen said in surprise, now the relationship between Zhou Mochen and the family is already in dire straits.

"That won't happen. They have already been warned. If there are other methods, they will know the consequences."

Qin Zongsheng waved his hand.

"That's fine. Although I don't want to frighten them by playing tricks, it's better to have one more thing than one less thing. I just want to get the admission ticket."

Zhou Mochen said lightly.

"Okay, I won't say anything superfluous. You always have your own ideas. Tomorrow's competition will be the same as before. Knife skill, heat, and main course. Pay attention to the rest."

Qin Zongsheng reminded.

"Got it, teacher."

Zhou Mochen nodded seriously. He has seen the previous games. It is still a comprehensive scoring system, but the proportion of the last item will be larger. 20 points for each of the first two items and 60 points for the last item. A total of 100 points.

The dinner in the evening was naturally made by Zhou Mochen, and it was also to test the skills of his students. Qin Zongsheng laughed after eating, as long as he was steady, he would be fine.

After Zhou Mochen and Zhao Jinmai came home, they went to bed early after coaxing the child.

On the second day, the much-anticipated national culinary competition officially opened. The venue is much bigger than before. And what is different from 5 years ago is that this time there is a real-time live broadcast.

Zhou Mochen's friends in the imperial capital also came to the venue early to support Zhou Mochen.

"Brother, sister-in-law. Xiangxiang, Qianqian, do you miss sister-in-law?"

Zhou Mowei saw Zhou Mochen and his wife who had just got off the car at a glance, and greeted them with a smile. Hug two nieces and daughters and kiss.

"think!"

Zhou Xiangxiang and Zhou Qianqian are no strangers to Zhou Mowei, because they often make videos. Zhou Mowei transferred Zhou Mochen's kindness to her to the two little guys, and she doted on them very much.

"Hey man. Today's your big day. Come on."

Yu Qian said with a smile.

"That's right, there are so many of us here, don't lose our face."

Wu Jing also said jokingly.

"Don't worry, I will take it."

Zhou Mochen said with a smile.

"Yeah, take it quickly. Have a big meal tonight."

Jing Tian led Huangfu Wenyang to come, but she could only think of eating.

"Okay, let's go, it's time to enter. It's time to start in a while."

After speaking, he led the crowd in. But after entering, Zhou Mochen went to the waiting area, while Zhao Jinmai and the others found their place. With Qin Zongsheng here, don't the tickets here go wherever you want? Everyone naturally sits together.

Soon the host began to control the field, and then the leader gave speeches and so on. The main purpose is to highlight the importance of this competition, and the judges are all well-known gourmets in Qin State. There are also people from the notary office. This time, the credibility has been greatly improved.

The first competition assessment must be knife skills.

The competition lasts for ten minutes. Since the competition is about knife skills, it is up to the contestants to prove their knife skills. Various ingredients to choose from. There are more than 20 large-scale chefs at the venue, with different ages. But Zhou Mochen is the youngest. Counting up, the lowest is more than 40 years old.

Yesterday Zhou Mochen thought about what he was going to do with his sword skills. No need to cook, just handle the ingredients.

Many people chose tofu. At this level, the knife skills are not bad, but tofu needs a lot of thought to show off the knife skills.

And Zhou Mochen asked the staff for a porcelain basin, and then filled it with clean water.

After he took a piece of tofu, he tried the elasticity and took it back when he was satisfied. The edges and corners around the edges were repaired first. Then Zhou Mochen quickly cut the tofu again, as if the distance was measured every time. First crosscut, then vertical.

The interested people on the field have already discovered that Zhou Mochen left room for the tofu, but in his operation, there was no trace of the tofu. It was as if the knife hadn't been touched at all.

After finishing the last cut, Zhou Mochen carefully moved the tofu into the water basin, and then relaxed. Then after bouncing it against the water basin, the tofu seemed to bloom. A white chrysanthemum bloomed and floated in the water under the action of the water. Very beautiful. And carefully inspecting the leaves of each chrysanthemum seems to have been measured by a ruler.

Just 5 minutes later, Zhou Mochen pressed the completion reminder light.

"I'll go, Lao Zhou is too fast. What is it cut? The camera doesn't turn around, bad review."

"That's right, I'm so anxious. It's too short, and the food will stop in 5 minutes."

"Hey, I said you two give me a break, what are you talking about?"

"Ahem, misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

Li Xin and his party couldn't help but said after seeing Zhou Mochen's performance.

At this time, the screen finally rebroadcasted Zhou Mochen's work.

"Hiss! It's so terrifying. What a pure white chrysanthemum."

"Damn it, upstairs, why is it so awkward to hear what you say. You're messing around."

"Zhou Shen is so powerful. I can't cut the same size even if I cut it into pieces."

"It has been said that the realms of gods and humans are different. This is the gap. To be honest, it is really beautiful. It is very artistic."

"I give full marks to this wave. Just rely on this chrysanthemum."

"I thought Zhou Shen should belong to Qiewensi Tofu, but I didn't expect to have such a big killer. This is too cruel."

As the picture appeared, the friends in the live broadcast room also fully saw what Zhou Mochen was cutting.

And the judges on the stage were also very surprised. If it's just shredded tofu, they might be amazed, but the tofu cut like golden chrysanthemum still makes them look at it differently.

"It's rare to have such great sword skills at such a young age. Good."

"I saw it just now. His hands are very steady, his attention is very focused, and he is not subject to any interference from the outside world."

"The little guy is Lao Qin's student? Zhou Mochen, right? It really deserves its reputation."

"It's really powerful. There are not many people in China who can compete with him."

Over time, other contestants completed their projects. Everyone has their own characteristics. From Zhou Mochen's point of view, many people's sword skills are indeed good. It's a pity that I met such a pervert as him.

After several judges finished scoring, the results were not announced. This is also for better performance later.

In the second heat competition, Zhou Mochen thought he also needed cooking proof. who knows. Just gave a pot of oil. Questions are given by several judges. Write down a few degrees, and let the players directly heat the oil to that temperature. Zhou Mochen was dumbfounded when he heard this topic.

I thought to myself that this is a question made by some pervert, and it is not meant to trick people.

Zhou Mochen really guessed right, this was specifically aimed at him, but not all of them, it was aimed at everyone. Except for the Qi family. As early as three years ago, there was a premeditated plan, just to get the qualifications smoothly.

Qi Chenglong is 45 years old this year, and he also took great pains to practice the precise oil temperature. Although others can't use their brains, they can get high marks in this item. As far as games like this are concerned. Anything short of it is fatal.

As soon as the competition items were announced, not only Zhou Mochen was dumbfounded, but the other contestants were also shocked. Even Qin Zongsheng didn't know. But at this time, when he thought about it, he understood who was playing tricks. But now I know it's too late. Ouyang Shaoqi also had a dark face, and he was put together.

"Fuck, who made the question. Is this a test of heat? This is a test of chemistry."

"Who the hell came up with such a perverted question."

"I think it's tricky. It's not an exam question at all."

"Hey, it's bad luck to see someone again."

"Guess whether Zhou Shen can handle it this time. I saw his expression just now, and it's not very good."

"Look, look, the one in the middle with the face of a donkey, he's always been very calm, maybe he has a plan in mind."

The netizens in the live broadcast room were also stunned when they saw the title.

"Mai Mai, Xiaochen, this can be done."

Xie Nan asked curiously.

"I don't know either, it should be fine."

Zhao Jinmai lost his confidence at the moment.

Just when everyone was discussing, the game was held as scheduled. The judges gave 60 degrees, 90 degrees, and 120 degrees respectively.

Each location is staffed by professional staff. Dedicated thermometer measurement.

And the staff member next to Zhou Mochen was obviously surprised. The recorded temperature is also stored electronically for the first time. No manual entry at all. They are all recorded and cannot be faked.

Zhou Mochen looked calm, thinking that this was just a small scene, just a joke, just to measure the temperature. It couldn't be easier for him.

After the first two items of data are stored in the database. The third item is the main course competition.

The food is brought by yourself. 2 hours. Enough for a delicate dish. Zhou Mochen also notified the conference affairs team in advance of the kitchen utensils he wanted to use.

With the cooperation of Fifth Jinchuan, all the ingredients, spices, etc. were taken out.

The dish Zhou Mochen chose this time is his specialty, squirrel mandarin fish, which is different from the past in that the shape is much more refined. It also tested Zhou Mochen's sword skills.

Squirrel mandarin fish is a famous traditional dish in Suzhou, and it has always been listed as a top-grade delicacy at banquets in various places in the south of the Yangtze River. Mandarin fish dishes have been used for a long time in various places, usually steamed or braised in brown sauce, while the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish dishes were first made in Suzhou area.

It can be seen from the appearance that this is a very demanding knife skill dish. Zhou Mochen cuts the fish to the bone with his superb knife skills, and then slices the fish, straightly and obliquely, until the skin is cut into a diamond shape. The lines are as deep as 4/5 of the skin and flesh, and the knife is precise.

Finally, the whole fish body was changed into 108 garlic cloves, shaped like a blooming chrysanthemum, and the slightly upturned fish head and tail echoed back and forth.

The deep-fried meat is rolled open like a hair, the head is raised and the mouth is open, the tail of the fish is slightly raised, and the shape is like a squirrel, which is very beautiful.

It can be said that such a dish of squirrel mandarin fish can be regarded as a test of Huaiyang cuisine chef's knife skills. Experienced Huaiyang cuisine chefs slice fish with smooth and smooth knife skills without procrastination, which can make people feel the beauty of knife skills.

"I know this. This is called squirrel mandarin fish. The restaurant has this dish. It's delicious. But today, watching God Zhou cook it, why is it so artistic?"

"Yeah, yeah, that knife skill is so beautiful. The fish is also handsome in shape, and they are all about the same size."

"It's too tempting. No, after the meeting is over, go to Qinghe Yipin for a meal. I must order this squirrel mandarin fish."

"Hey, watching God Zhou cook is a kind of enjoyment."

"Who says no? I don't know if Zhou Shen can qualify for the competition today. That's the only place."

"I also hope that Zhou Shen will go. Their mothers won't recognize them if they go to fight, and the others will be so ignorant."

"Upstairs, if you want to call them ugly, just say so. I'll give you a thumbs up."

"Haha. Brother spoke my heart."

While everyone was discussing, Zhou Mochen's dishes had already been served by the staff.

Several judges carefully looked at the dishes and sniffed them. The color, fragrance, and shape are already clear in the chest, and after rinsing his mouth with clean water, he began to taste Zhou Mochen's squirrel mandarin fish.

"Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour. Good!"

"It's really good. Everything is just right, it makes people feel very comfortable."

"Hey, it's been a long time since I met such an outstanding junior. Lao Qin has indeed taken in a good student."

"Haha, I heard that the little guy has opened a private restaurant in Sioux City. I'm going to check it out when I have time."

The four judges nodded in satisfaction after tasting. I already have points in mind. They are also in moderation, after all, they have to taste a lot of dishes later.

Some players did it fast, some did it slowly, and the last one took an hour and a half to complete.

The time also slowly came to 12 o'clock, and the results of the game were about to be counted. The members of the conference affairs team who knew the result smiled unkindly.

And Qi Chenglong is full of confidence at the moment, looking very calm.

"Did the result come out? I was so anxious to wait."

"Bad review, the scores for the previous two items were not announced."

"That's right, it's too curious."

"That's the last shiver. The people in the conference affairs team are not strong enough. It's so slow."

The netizens in the live broadcast room are not calm now. It was really the people in the conference affairs group that aroused their curiosity to the max.

"Sister-in-law, do you think my little brother will win?"

Zhou Mowei also gradually became nervous.

"Yes. Brother Chen is very powerful. Trust him."

Zhao Jinmai was also nervous.

"Dad, I'm tired!"

Zhou Xiangxiang said immediately.

"Yes, Dad, I'm sorry!"

Zhou Qianqian also followed her sister.

"Okay, okay, your father is the best."

Zhou Mowei said to her two nieces with a smile.

The two little guys completely eliminated everyone's nervousness.

At this time, the host has already started to come to the stage and prepare to announce.

"Okay, after our three rounds and nearly three hours of competition, the scores of each of the current players have been counted. I will only announce the total scores of the top ten players. Please look at the big screen."

After the host finished speaking, the camera turned directly to the big screen. The numbers from 1 to 10 are all black.

"Tenth place, Li Qiwen, with a total score of 89."

Seeing his name, Li Qiwen's face turned dark immediately, and he didn't say anything. He is the second son of the Li family. The one with strong talent, I thought it was very likely to be selected this time, but it was a pity that he was slapped by the Qi family, who was also from the same family. (end of this chapter)
