King of Chefs

Shi Yang simply walked down from the auditorium and came to the stage. Some staff saw that he didn't have a work permit and were about to drive him away, but he was stopped by sharp-eyed people and shook his head.

"What's the matter? Who is it?"

"I don't know you! Shi Yang, Jiang Lao's grandson, one of the sponsors of the contest organizer."

"Oh, but you also need to bring a work permit, otherwise there will always be people like me who don't know you."

"There are few people like you, who don't know each other, it's enough for people to show their faces."

Shi Yangdong groped his way to Yan Lang's side.Yan Lang was pointing out some problems in the script at this time. He has rich experience as a star. Besides filming, he also has a lot on the stage. It is very awkward to leave the script.

For example, let Yan Lang cook on stage, according to the script, at the end of the first competition, the host will come on stage to interview Wang Dun and ask him how you feel today, Wang Dun said it was very good , the host asked what is your usual work attitude?I heard that you are Yan Lang's apprentice, can you tell me?Wang Dun said that my master is so good, so good, so good, so powerful, so powerful, so invincible in the universe.The host asked if it was true, why don't we let the judges come on stage?

This kind of routine looks so awkward, it looks like a set of words, Yan Lang is so embarrassed that he has to force a smile.The screenwriter can't feel that kind of awkwardness when he is writing in the audience. He may think that the effect is excellent, but the parties and bystanders will feel uncomfortable and suffer from embarrassment phobia.

Everyone disagreed on this matter, saying that Yan Lang had to go on stage to show his skills. The show crew and Grandpa Jiang shared this attitude, but this arrangement is indeed not very good, and it still needs to be considered.

Later, Yan Lang said: "Why don't we add a judges show session, not only me, but all the judges will show their skills on stage. I earn the popularity of laymen, Master, you earn the eyes of insiders."

"What's the point?" The screenwriter scratched his head, feeling that this proposal was too nonsensical.

Yan Lang smiled and said, "Lively, popularity, word of mouth, what else do you want?"

"How lively, how popular, how popular is it?"

"As soon as the judges come on stage, you come and go to check the machine front. Isn't this lively? It's not word of mouth if Mr. Jiang makes a move? Besides popularity, the food circle has been too far away from the lives of ordinary people in recent years. Who won the competition? The champion who has researched a famous dish that shocked the world is not interested in the media, and naturally the audience will not understand. We judges are talking on the top, as if we just stand and talk without back pain, the audience It’s none of my business to think about what kind of chefs come from. The serious things look dull, not festive, and too boring. If you really have the skills, come here. We went up and showed off our unique skills. It’s all for money If you don’t have popularity, what popularity do you need?”

Yan Lang argued hard, and he didn't give up an inch of what he said, but there was no spark in his tone, he pronounced the words clearly, and the words were correct, every word spit out from his lips, as if his tired body was buried in hot water It was warm, without any thought of resistance.

The screenwriter was speechless, and had already agreed to Yan Lang's proposal in his heart.That's right, there are always no crowds of people going up alone. Why didn't he think of it before, or did he just hold on to one person because he was afraid that his proposal would not go through?

The matter was settled just like that, and the screenwriter hurried down to do the last revision of the script.Yan Lang's eyes passed through the crowd, and met Shi Yang, his dark eyes were like a deep pool, filled with all sharpness and cold light, only occasionally a ray of light flashed by, revealing a touch of stunning elegance.

Shi Yang grinned at Yan Lang, the smile was silly and not shrewd at all, thinking in his heart, how could such a good man be caught up by me?This has to be the most beautiful thing I've ever done in my life.

Yan Lang saw Shi Yang smiling, so he also smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up. His gentle smile seemed to separate space and time in an instant, and only his own figure could be seen in those eyes, so clearly.

"Yangyang, are you here?" Grandpa Jiang turned around and said in an ugly voice.

Shi Yang smiled at his grandfather: "Well, are you tired, how about I move a stool for you."

Grandpa Jiang shook his head and laughed.Shi Yang is actually a smart kid, don't think he can't pull it off most of the time, if he is willing to be nice to you, he can coax you to want to give him your heart.Perhaps it was this kind of differential treatment. Grandpa Jiang was not used to it when Shi Yang became indifferent in the past few years. He always missed the child who walked around on his lap and sweetly called "Grandpa".Fortunately, everything has recovered now, as if with Shi Yang's return, his life has been completed.

Seeing that it was almost time for the audience to enter the stage, the judges and guests retreated to the backstage, and the studio staff began to do the final adjustment work.

With 15 minutes to go and three o'clock, the audience entered the arena one after another. According to international practice, there were about [-] emoticon actors in the audience of [-] audiences, and there were also specially invited handsome men and women to seduce the audience when switching shots.These people are scattered, as if no one knows anyone, just waiting for the critical moment to appear in the camera.

At three o'clock, amidst the sound of music, the host stepped onto the middle of the stage, and the lights fell on them, clearly showing their well-dressed faces.

It was at this time that Shi Yang left the backstage and returned to the auditorium.

First, all twelve finalist chefs and their two assistants entered the arena.In the largest CCTV studio, twelve cooking tables have been set up, which can barely accommodate three people busy inside.

After all, it was the first time to do such a big competition. Neither the organizer nor the director team thought it through. They all said that next time they could simply rent a gymnasium, which would definitely accommodate it.

Wang Dun is in the middle of the second row, and the camera can catch him no matter how you scan. This can be regarded as a back door opened by the program group.The two assistants Wang Dun brought with him were brothers who worked with him in the restaurant. When the resort opened and prepared to recruit a team of chefs, Wang Dun introduced these people who used to work with him. After inspection by the management company, he felt that there was no problem , So more than a dozen people came here in a hurry. It can be said that all Wang Dun's original team came here.

Ran Zi and Jin Kui were not allowed to participate in a competition of this level, so Wang Dun brought two brothers with good skills and the most trustworthy, which helped him a lot.

In fact, Wang Dun's original craftsmanship was not up to the level of participating in "Chinese Cuisine", but who told him that he really worshiped a good master?

Once again, Wang Dun, who was "right on the question" by his master, calmly fished out a hairy crab from Yangcheng Lake from the black sealed water tank.

The first question of the final, crab.

Crab is an extremely delicious delicacy. The easiest and most delicious way is to steam it in a pan, dig out a piece of white and tender meat from the hard shell, and dip it in soy sauce. The original taste is extremely delicious.Especially the crabs in autumn, full of crab paste, mellow and fragrant in the mouth, it is one of the most delicious delicacies in autumn.

However, even fools know that the crabs produced in this way are the most delicious, but no one dares to do it. The "Chinese Cuisine Competition" tests the chef's craftsmanship and innovation. Although it is safe to pick people's teeth, it is far from enough to win the championship. How to make food with richer taste and balanced nutrition while retaining the deliciousness of the crab itself is the core of this test. The essential.

Wang Dun went to the ingredients room next door, and came out with a basket of green beans in his hand.

How to pair green beans with Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs?

And only green beans?

Compared with the side dishes such as peppers and shallots picked by others, Wang Dun's choice is indeed different. The audience's eyes and camera follow him unconsciously, wondering what he is going to cook.

Wang Dun first cooked the hairy crabs and green beans separately in a pot.Green beans need to be boiled to get rid of the green taste.Hairy crabs must be steamed to preserve the deliciousness of the crab meat to the maximum extent.Add some condiments, and after different cooking methods, the rough material is ready.

First, remove the cooked green beans, drain the water, and puree them in a blender.Add lard to the pot and heat until three layers are hot, put in the green bean puree, stir-fry on low heat for half a minute, add the seasoning and stir-fry for 5 or 6 minutes, take it out of the pot, and put it in a small bowl carved with sapphire.

Peel the hairy crabs and take the meat, try to keep the meat as small as a finger, in granular form, add cooking wine and some special sauces, then stir fry in a pot, add chicken broth, add balsamic vinegar and stir fry evenly, Finally, thicken the sauce with starch, take out of the pan and divide evenly on the green bean puree.

It's a very simple method, but it innovates and innovates. A small handful of crab meat is placed on the green green pea puree, which is packed in a small celadon bowl, which makes people look brighter. Crabs have a little more expectation for nothing.

The time given for this subject was not long, only 45 minutes in total. The contestants gave up dishes that required more processes, and considering the tastes of the judges present, few contestants chose spicy dishes.One of the contestants who chose the spicy taste looked around and his face turned pale. He knew that he had made a fatal mistake, and there was not much time left. Even if he did it again, it was too late. .

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the Kung Fu competition. The twelve chefs stood behind their crabs and divided the food into five small bowls with their own hands. The hostesses brought the food to the judges.

Grandpa Jiang and Yan Lang stood for two seats. Fan Fan, who is well-known in the domestic food industry, also came this time. There was also a well-known international judge, Yuan Yuan. When Yan Lang competed with Zhouzhuang, Yuan Yuan Yuan was on the scene. In fact, her level can only be said to be average, but she is very good at managing her own reputation, taking part in competitions and winning awards, and has obtained many certificates. In addition, her personal image is very good, pure and sweet , known as the fairy sister, the purpose of inviting her is mainly to attract male audiences.The last one is a gourmet from France. This is a serious food critic, and his comments will stand on the height of the world. It can be said that he can get his approval. The chef's works are amazing. You can go out of the country.

The small bowl was brought in front of the judges, and a glass of water was placed at hand. The judges ate each dish into their mouths under the apprehensive eyes of the contestants. Their expressions changed, and the contestants stared round Looking at the expressions of the judges, I can't wait to get into their heads and see what they think.

The tasting session lasted for 10 minutes, and the judges also communicated with each other, and had already selected the top three in this session in advance.However, for the viewability of the show, before the results are announced, there is another link for the judges to tell their favorite dishes and least favorite dishes.

The judge of Fanfan said: "I like the fried crab claws of No. [-] Jiangxuan. The crab meat is dry and delicious after special frying. Your fire is well controlled. My teeth like this taste very much."

"No. [-] Huo Wenyao, I don't like your crab tofu soup. It may be because of the tofu. The taste of tofu destroys the aroma of crab meat. This dish is a failure."

The number three who was praised was overjoyed, and the number seven who was criticized turned pale.

Judge Yuanyuan said: "I like the crab porridge made by NO.11 Xiangxin. It is really delicious, and it is nutritious and healthy. I voted for you."

"The spicy crab at No. [-] Fangyu, isn't it too spicy? You should consider the taste of people who don't eat spicy food. Appropriate spiciness can enhance the deliciousness, but all I can taste of your dishes is spicy. taste."

Then it was Yan Lang's turn. His eyes fell on the stage, swept around, paused for a while on Wang Dun's face, then moved away, and said, "I'm not a gourmet. Although I don't have a tricky tongue, this I am qualified to say whether the dish is suitable for the restaurant and whether the customers like it or not. First of all, I agree with Yuanyuan’s choice, which is the most memorable for me. The most delicious one is Xiang Xinyuan’s crab The porridge is so delicious. I like it very much. But I am a little different from Yuanyuan. I like spicy food. Fang Yu’s spicy crab is very good in my opinion. It is spicy and delicious, and it is suitable for people who love spicy food. .Actually, the next time you make a spicy dish, you might as well ask our judges whether it is medium spicy or slightly spicy."

At this point, everyone laughed, and Yuanyuan didn't seem to be annoyed, and nodded in agreement: "The taste can't be changed, maybe I can tolerate slightly spicy. So I suggest you make slightly spicy ones in the future."

Yan Lang glanced around, then landed on No. [-]'s face, and said, "Huo Wenyao, I also think there may be some problems with the tofu. This dish is a bit disappointing."

Yan Lang didn't mention Wang Dun, Wang Dun was a little sad, he knew that he might not have done well, not the worst one, but unfortunately not the best one either.

Let Master down.

The foreign judge named Randall said at this time: "No. [-], I like your dish very much. The crab meat is very well processed, with a strong fragrance, but it still retains the deliciousness of the crab meat and the greenness of the green beans. The taste is well processed, I actually tasted the milk flavor in the green beans, it feels like eating a mouthful of delicious ice cream, this combination relieves the oiliness of the crab meat, I like it very much, I will vote for you."

Randall didn't say who's cooking he didn't like. After he finished speaking, he smiled at Wang Dun, who blushed with excitement.

Finally it was the turn of Dinghaishenzhen Grandpa Jiang. He sat casually, with his hands on the table, his fists in his arms, and his chin resting. He nodded while listening to Randall's words: "Actually, if you want to talk about the delicious food, I gave NO .11 one vote, your crab porridge is a must. With this bowl of porridge alone, you will have no worries about eating and drinking in your life. Everyone will like it. But at the same time, I also gave Wang Dun a vote, I like it We have thoroughly figured out innovative dishes and old-fashioned things, but we can’t rest on our laurels and stay in the same place, we have to go out and let our industry flourish, which is the original intention of holding this competition.”

At this point, everyone has a bottom line in their hearts and knows who can get the points.

Sure enough, the score appeared on the big screen, NO.11 Xiang Xinyuan got ten points for his excellent crab porridge.

Each judge has five points and can vote for three contestants, namely three points, two points and one point.Xiang Xinyuan got three points from Yanlang and Yuanyuan, two points from Grandpa Jiang, and one point from Fanfan and Randall.

Wang Dun is No.2. He got three points from Grandpa Jiang and Randall, one point from Yuanyuan and Yan Lang, and he got no points from the Fanfan judges.

No.3 is No. [-] Jiang Xuan's dry fried crab, because Fanfan gave him three points.

After the ranking came out, some people were happy and some were worried, but fortunately, this was only the first round, and there were two more stages of the competition. If they played well, they would have a chance to overtake.

When Wang Dun saw the one point his master gave him, he almost cried.He has well-developed lacrimal glands, and he wants to cry at the slightest grievance. He endured it with great difficulty before forcing the tears back.He vowed to do well next time and get more points from his master.

Seeing Wang Dun's aggrieved look, Yan Lang sighed inwardly.He chose this dish, and he even demonstrated it to Wang Dun himself. Unfortunately, not everyone has his talent. Others may not know it, but he knows very well that the dish made by Wang Dun is better than what he wants to eat. The taste was far from good.Giving one point is opening the back door.

Shi Yang, who was sitting in the auditorium, stared at Wang Dun, frowning, this unsatisfactory thing!
