Chapter 134 Hell's Kitchen
"The tuna is ready!"
"The cod is ready!"
"The side dishes are here!"
The timing was almost accurate, and a main dish was delivered to the mouth like flowing water, with steaming white steam rising from the top of the plate.
"no problem."
"no problem."
"can."
Gordon looked through it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he nodded slightly and asked the waiter to deliver the packaged dishes.
Even though the chef didn't specifically praise it, this kind of affirmation has greatly relieved the female contestants who had been scolded heavily before. They looked at each other with relaxed smiles on their faces-as long as they are affirmed and successful, the team members All the unpleasantness and petty frictions of the experience seem less important.
"Wellington is ready!"
“The side dishes of Wellington are here!”
"The pan-fried lamb chops are ready!"
"The grilled pork chops are here, please borrow!"
Yili and Erin also delivered their dishes steadily.
"Okay, send it out."
"Wellington has done a fantastic job."
"The Meat Table is doing very well."
The chef also nodded in satisfaction.
The red team seemed to be gradually getting into shape, and they didn't make any mistakes in several orders.
If it can continue, the red team will win this round.
"You all did a good job, keep it up!" Gordon sent another table of dishes, and turned around to encourage him.
"Yes, Chef!" There is no better voice in Hell's Kitchen than Chef's affirmation.Hearing the chef's rare unabashed appreciation, the female contestants were all very excited, and even their hands that turned the pot became stronger!
Gordon nodded, and after explaining a few words to the female team's sous chef, he walked to the blue team's kitchen on the sidelines. It's a good thing for the players to cooperate happily, but it's too boring for the TV show. up.
The audience watching Hell's Kitchen is to watch the contestants' disputes, release their pressure in reality, and occasionally enjoy visual delicacies.The show wouldn't be as interesting without the bickering.So after everything goes well for the red team, the chef will go to the blue team to "supervise".
However, compared to the red team, which is getting better and better, the blue team still seems to be stumbling.
"Gentlemen, look at what you've made!" Gordon couldn't help frowning as he looked at the seemingly motionless order posted behind the food delivery port, "Since I went to the kitchen next door, you have even finished One order?! Just one! Is there any?!"
"..." The male contestants remained silent, just immersed themselves in their work—to be honest, there was still one copy, and more precisely, there were actually more than one copy, there were several copies.But this kind of answer seems too unambitious. An ambitious answer should be something like "We have already cleared the order, and this is a new order, Chef".
"Hey! Can anyone answer me? What have you guys been doing for so long?!" Seeing the silence of the blue team, Gordon couldn't help rubbing his forehead again—the red team next to him did a good job. The enthusiasm was in full swing, and the orders were completed one after another, but the blue team not only did not complete any work, but the team atmosphere was so depressed!Can this help?thought the chef suspiciously.
"We've been working, Chef." Sean on the fish dining table was the first to speak at last - he won the finale victory for the blue team in the first challenge, and in the second scallop challenge He also scored valuable points for the blue team, and he did not perform badly in the dinner service. In addition to his outgoing and confident personality, he has the courage to speak to the chef.
"Since you are working, come up with some results!" Gordon is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. Even if Sean stood up, Gordon was not fully prepared to vent his anger on him. He still urged the entire blue team, "If you are in If you don't do anything, I can guarantee that one of you will get out tonight! Do you understand?"
"Yes, Chef!" After being reminded by the Chef, the male contestants immediately trembled. Thinking of Nick who had only participated in the first round of the competition and had to leave with regret, he felt a kind of desolation in his heart, but because of this And there was a kind of desperate energy-none of them wanted to be the second Nick!No one wants to just go home like this!
"The pan-fried lamb chops are ready." Sean's good brother Justin also spoke. Compared with Sean's response to the chef, Justin, who is good at cooking but not good at words, can only do things silently and will only serve the dishes and report silently.
"The tuna is ready too." Justin served the lamb chops, and Sean, who was making the same order as Justin, quickly served his fish, waiting for the chef's inspection.
Gordon looked at the side of the mutton, and saw that the mutton was well done, not too raw pink, nor too old meat red, but the most appetizing meat pink.The main course of this kind of meat is generally not easy to try. Unlike the angel noodles or risotto in the appetizer, the chef will not affect the appearance after tasting it. These complete pieces of meat will be very obvious if a corner is missing.However, even if you can't taste it, the slightly muttony aroma of the mutton still penetrates into your nose, which makes you feel a warm feeling in your stomach before you finish your mouth.
"The lamb chops are fried very well, and the quality is pretty good." Gordon nodded appreciatively to Justin—he was very optimistic about the young man's strength, and the only thing that made the chef hesitate was that Justin seemed to have no aura or leadership. Strength, unable to stand up at the critical moment to improve the team's situation.
"Yes, chef." After receiving the chef's strong affirmation, Justin, who had returned to the workbench and was about to prepare the next dish, immediately nodded to the chef—although his personality was dull, Justin's attitude was really good , He is quite serious about his work, and Gordon appreciates such a young man.
Gordon turned his gaze to the next dish served on the next plate. The tuna looked very well fried. Gordon nodded secretly, then raised the fish steak, and looked at the back of the tuna for a while—Gordon's face suddenly pulled down.
"Sean, did you cook tuna?!" Gordon asked in a bad tone.
"Yes, Chef!" Sean's tone was always energetic, but he lacked confidence—everyone knows that when the chef asks this question, the possibility of being appreciated is not impossible, but it is very small, more Both will get terrible criticism!
"Come here!" Gordon threw Sean's tuna directly in front of him, turned the tuna over roughly, and put the back side in front of Sean, "Look, look at this side! Tell me, this What is it!"
"This is..." Sean looked at the little bit of transparent white on the back of the tuna, and replied bravely, "Uncooked, chef!" The cooked tuna should be snow-white and delicate with a little bit of whiteness on it. A touch of alluring gold, rather than this pale translucent texture.Even if it wasn't all over the side, it was definitely undercooked in some places.
"Very good, it's not hopeless!" Sean's understanding made Gordon purse his lips and nod, "Go redo it!"
"Yes, chef!" Sean replied quickly, and then picked up the tuna, and while the frying pan hadn't been changed, he quickly put it down and fry it again—it's the same ingredient and the same dish, but at this time No need to change the pot.Moreover, he is partially undercooked, unlike the overcooked ones, which are not irreparable sometimes.
Sean also wants to work hard to get the tuna back on the table as soon as possible, otherwise, if he completely ruins it and starts over, Justin's lamb chops will definitely go cold!Sean doesn't want to drag his teammates down, let alone his good brother!
Calculating the time in his mind, he re-fried the tuna. Sean quickly put it on a plate and handed it to the chef.
"No problem." The chef nodded, touched the side dishes on the side, and couldn't help cursing again, "[beep]! The side dishes are cold! Can't you [beep] pay attention? First Main dish, side dish again! What are you doing tonight!"
"I'm sorry, chef!" Apparently hearing the chef's scolding, the side dish table hastily re-ordered the tuna-serving cherry radish (a small red radish) and asparagus, and explained to the chef.
"You really..." Gordon shook his head again and again, "Can't one of you [beep] take the initiative to stand up? Who [beep] can lead this damn kitchen?!"
Generally speaking, the female contestants in Hell's Kitchen are more independent. Although the male contestants may not necessarily unite, they don't quarrel too much, and the cooperation is quite harmonious.However, a strange phenomenon appeared in this competition. The female contestants were the first to unite together, while the male contestants split silently instead!
The reason for this is not difficult to imagine-a strong leader appeared among the female players this time. Although she is not strong, she is unexpectedly gentle and humble, but she does unite all the players together, whether it is friendly or Hostile, my prestige is also established in the method of moistening things silently.
On the men's team, it's the opposite. At present, none of the men's players with leadership potential has emerged. Although there are no heated disputes, there is no tacit cooperation.Especially after losing in the Challenger League, there were some voices of mutual accusation in the men's team, but with the persuasion of others, this accusation was quickly dispelled, but the cracks may not have disappeared.So, there was a reason for the blue team's stiff cooperation during this night's dinner service.
However, having said that, it's not that the blue team really did a bad job, but that the red team did a great job!
Throughout the seasons of Hell's Kitchen, very few players can dominate the whole team at the beginning of the game. There is always a process of understanding and running in with each other. Afterwards, the cooperation is a team game that truly works together and comes naturally. It's just an n vs n individual competition.
However, although the current red team is not completely unified, the invisible cohesion and appeal of the players are already quite conspicuous.So in this dinner service, the red team has slowly entered the team game mode, while the blue team has stopped in their respective games with n players. It is normal for such a blue team to be inferior to the red team in terms of cooperation and efficiency up!If the blue team doesn't make changes, and doesn't become a team as soon as possible, it will definitely be beaten by the red team!
As a host and a member of the program team, Gordon doesn't want to see a situation where one party is overpowering the other, so that the suspense of the program will be reduced and the viewability will be reduced; as the chef of the kitchen, Gordon hopes that the blue team Can discover their potential as soon as possible, can complete their integration and cooperation as quickly as possible, and compete with the red team normally, instead of losing directly with aggrieved!
Gordon's words moved the hearts of many male contestants—those who will participate in Hell's Kitchen rarely stand aloof from the world and have no desire for power.This is nonsense, they don't want to stand out, they just want to study their culinary skills silently, the contestants will never come to endure the chef's poisonous tongue, just for a possible chance to run their own restaurant.Even the quietest Justin has a desperate ambition to win the championship!
Sean has decided to come forward!
He decided to lead the blue team to victory by himself!
"Xiao, Josh, the side dishes are over to you, hurry up!" The tuna was handed over to the chef, and Sean returned to the cooking table, but this time, he decided to complete his work as a leader, so Actively urged the side dish table.
"Understood!" The two people at the side dish table frowned, feeling a little upset, but they didn't have an attack, but they couldn't help muttering in their hearts—who did it!If it wasn't for Sean's tuna that wasn't cooked right the first time, their side dishes wouldn't have gone cold, scolded by the chef, and had to be redone!
Now Sean is still acting like a captain, wanting to tell them what to do, it is really unbearable!But considering that the chef is on the side, arguing over such a trivial matter is too ugly, and the competition is more important now, so the two looked at each other and decided to work hard first, and talk about it after the game. two!
The rework of the side dishes is very fast. This mistake that the red team has also made and solved smoothly, it is also no problem when it comes to the blue team.The red cherry radishes and green asparagus cut in half were quickly fried and brought to the serving port, which was affirmed by the chef.
Only then did the two people at the side dishes heave a sigh of relief - if the two main dishes were completely cold and could not be sent out due to their mistakes in the side dishes, they would be in great danger in the future.If the game is lost, they are ready-made candidates to be eliminated!
Nick in the last round is a living example!
People who work on the relatively simple side dish table make frequent mistakes. Compared with those who work on the more difficult meat and fish table, even if the latter also makes mistakes, the mistakes of the former are even more unforgivable!For this reason, the chef chose to eliminate Nick in the end, rather than the other counter people who made the same mistake.
"A cod will be out of the pan in 2 minutes. Is Wellington ready? Is the side dish ready?" Sean shouted to his teammates while frying his cod.
"Wellington also takes 2 minutes." Justin was the first to respond to Sean. As a good brother, if he doesn't support the other party at this time, when will he support the other party?Moreover, more communication, more communication, can better cooperate.Justin is very happy to see some teammates speak up. Although he can also speak, he is not very good at expressing himself, and his opinions may not be heard by others.
"The side dishes are also ready, and they will be finished in 2 minutes." Seeing Justin's response, Xiao on the side dish table also spoke sullenly - if no one responded to Sean, he would have a valid reason for not answering.It's a pity that Justin spoke up. He didn't want to be charged with lack of teamwork, so he could only answer.
But he doesn't want to work with Sean at all!
After the previous challenge round, Sean was one of the people who thought that those who didn't get points should be responsible for the loss, so they should work more in the penalty round.In the later dinner service arrangement, Sean directly competed with him for the job at the fish table. Obviously Sean had worked at the meat table last time, but this time he wanted to compete with him for the job at the fish table!
What made Xiao angry the most was that he didn't grab Sean, so after working at the appetizer, he could only work at the side dish!Obviously, everyone else rotated between the main dish work station and other work stations, but he was the unimportant work station twice, and Sean was at the main course work station both times!The last time it was at the meat table, this time it was at the fish table!
The others are also idiots, they happily voted for Sean after being called out by Sean's brothers one by one!To his [beep] brother game!Are they little boys?Still playing this set!He also said that capable people should do more important work, so it's better to let Sean go to the meat table first this time! [Beep] It's powerful!But the Challenge was lucky enough to win once!It's not the credit of Sean alone, but that bastard acted like the biggest contributor!hateful!
Xiao thought bitterly while cutting up the artichokes that were used as a side dish.
No matter what they thought, Sean's cod, Justin's Wellington, and of course, Xiao's side dishes quickly passed the chef's inspection and were sent out.Sean secretly heaved a sigh of relief—if his dishes were sent back by the chef, the others might laugh at him in their hearts for not being able to handle his own abilities. While he wanted to lead the kitchen, he couldn't even cook the dishes well.Fortunately, the results are good so far.
"Who made this grilled pork chop?" After a while, the chef asked again with a plate of dishes brought to him.
"It's me, Chef." Renault, who was on the meat counter with Justin, stood up.
"It's too [beep] dry! Look at this meat, what a lot of wood! Do you want our guests to chew wood?" The chef pushed the cut pork chops aside so that Reno could see the cut sides of the pork, "One No gravy at all! Not at all! Well done doesn't mean dry, chai, no juice okay?! Heavy, do it!"
"Yes, chef!" Seeing the chef dump the spoiled pork chops into the trash can without hesitation, Renault felt ashamed and embarrassed, his face was on fire, but fortunately his naturally dark skin did not show any blush. But he still wanted to find a hole to drill back.But in the face of the chef's stern gaze, he didn't even dare to escape. He could only respond in a low voice, stiffly walked back to his cooking table, and continued to work.
"Reynolds, don't be nervous!" Since Sean decided to lead the kitchen, of course he must care about the situation of the team members, "You are a good cook, this is just a mistake!" He took the time to pat the black man while frying fish. Big tall shoulders.
"Thank you." Renault nodded gratefully to Sean. The other party's comfort made him feel much better. However, thinking of the horrible expression on the chef's face just now, Renault couldn't calm down—his heart was not as strong as he looked , in fact, is quite fragile.But cooking is the only thing he can prove himself, and he must not just give up!
but--
"Raw! This [beep] is raw!" Gordon looked at the tall man standing helplessly in front of him, and roared angrily, "Why is it either too familiar or too raw? I [beep] ] I don’t understand, no matter what kind of meat it is, you all have the ability to make all kinds of strange looks! But I only want one, the one that meets the standard! Do you understand?”
"Understood, chef." Reynolds looked down at the chef who kept stabbing the plate to his chest, feeling sad and about to collapse, "I will do it well! I will never do this again next time!"
"There will be no next time!" Gordon slammed the dinner plate on the cooking table in front of Renault, "What are you doing in a daze! Go, do, do! I solemnly warn you, if you serve me this kind of thing again , you get out of here!"
"Yes, yes, chef!" The tall, dark-skinned man moved his lips, and finally agreed.
If it wasn't in front of the camera, if it wasn't still at work, Renault really couldn't help crying.
But in a subsequent personal interview, Renault did admit that he was in a broken mood at this time, and accidentally cried out while talking.The way the big tall man wiped his tears clumsily with red circles under his eyes made people very sad.
"When I was young, I lived in an area where there were many white people and few black people. When I was in school, black children like me were abused and bullied, their textbooks were torn off, their schoolbags were cut, and their heads were pushed into the toilet. , are common things. At that time, my dad kept sighing, and my mom would make me some holiday pies, and I felt that the days of school were not so difficult. For me, cooking is very blissful , Very warm things, I hope to make food that touches the chef, not disappoints the chef." The tall and strong black-skinned middle-aged man in his 40s said with a sob.
In his time, people of color suffered far more discrimination and campus bullying than they do now. Of course, it is not the case now, but it is much less in comparison, and anti-discrimination has become a social consensus.Even if some people still have a sense of racial superiority in their hearts, they will at least restrain themselves from showing it, instead of hurting others maliciously like people did a few decades ago.
At this time, seeing Renault's frustrated look, Sean could only sigh helplessly—if it was a coordination problem, he could of course help to regulate it, but if it was a dish that couldn't be cooked well, it would be very troublesome.Dishes that take a short time are fine, but for such long dishes that take ten or ten minutes at every turn, no one else can do anything about it—everyone has their own job.Even Justin, who works at the same table as Renault, has to worry about Wellington and pan-fried lamb chops.Justin has tried his best to reduce Raynor's workload and has taken over most of the catering work himself.
"When you bake it later, bake it for a shorter time first, otherwise if it is overcooked, it will dry out again." Justin took the time to remind Reynolds, "The raw ones can be baked again, but the overcooked ones can't be helped." gone."
Moreover, the recipe in Hell's Kitchen records the total cooking time. If the cooking time is not enough, the cooking time must be continued. The contestants need to judge how long they need to bake.For the sake of caution, it is indeed better to take it slowly.
"Well, thank you." Renault nodded to Justin, and put the undercooked pork chops into the oven again.
When Reynolds struggled with grilling pork chops, the state of the blue team's kitchen seemed to be in a slump.
"Dewin, is your tuna ready? The lamb chops are still 2 minutes away." Justin asked Dewin while frying the lamb chops.His lamb chops were in the same order as the tuna, and Sean was cooking cod, so Devin's tuna should be with him.
"Soon, soon!" said the good-tempered Dewen while wiping the hot sweat from his brow.
"How soon is it? You should give an exact time. Did the side dish tell you?" Justin asked again.
"This..." Devin looked at the slightly fuzzy tuna on one side, and was a little uncertain whether he should do it again, but he couldn't help but think that doing it again would definitely be a drag on time, and it might make Justin feel uncomfortable. The lamb chops were also cold, and that was his responsibility.Moreover, the tuna is not badly mushy, it’s just that the middle of one side is fried a little bit darker, it’s neither raw nor overcooked, it should be able to pass the chef’s test, “Side dishes, tuna out of the pan in 2 minutes! "
"Received!" Josh from the side dish counter replied, he simply heated up the oil pan, cut up the side dishes, and started frying them immediately.
Seeing that Dewin seemed to be okay, Justin didn't care anymore, and continued to focus on his lamb chops.
Soon, the two also served their dishes.
"The lamb chops are well done." Gordon admired Justin's craftsmanship, but when he saw Dewin's tuna, he frowned, and directly brought the plate to the front of the cooking table of the contestants to show, "Who [BEEP] Cooked tuna? Look, you all have a look, one side is battered and the other side is raw! This stuff is not as good as [BEEP]!"
"..." Dewin's cold sweat immediately broke down, and the brows of the others also frowned.
"I've had enough of this one night!" Gordon closed his eyes, "If anyone makes something that is inferior to [beep] again, I'll tell you all to get out of the kitchen!" Gordon said again Glancing at the weird tuna on the plate, he showed an expression that he couldn't bear to look directly at, and looked away, "I don't even want to look at this disgusting thing again! It hurts my eyes!"
"..." The chef's poisonous tongue is really disturbing, but what is even more disturbing is the chef's threat.No, that's not a threat.If any of them mess up next time, the chef will really drive them all out mercilessly!Male players know this.
In this precarious environment, Reynolds served his grilled pork chops with trepidation.
If he could, he really didn't want to serve the food after the chef had just gotten angry, it would be a bullet point!But if the dish is not served, it will be cold, which will definitely make the chef furious, so Reynolds can only bite the bullet and bring it over.
Must pass!Must pass!Must pass!Renault kept praying in his heart.
The chef looked at the grilled pork chop that had made Renault tremble all night, checked it, and without saying a word, asked the waiter to deliver this American-style grilled pork chop along with other dishes on the same order.
Seeing the chef's unsmiling expression, Lei Nuo, who had been paying attention to the movement of the food delivery mouth, was greatly relieved in his heart-it will be fine after sending it out!Next, as long as you play well, you will pass this level!
At this time, Lei Nuo realized that his back was soaked, and the short-sleeved T-shirt in the chef's uniform was sticking to his vest with sweat, but he didn't realize it before.
Compared with Renault who survived the storm, Dewin was in trouble!
His tuna failed the chef's quality inspection and had to be redone. The chef was dissatisfied and asked the waiter to deliver this tuna-if a dish has a perfect score of 100 points, the top restaurant may be 100 points are required, the quality requirement of a real high-end restaurant is 90 points, and the requirement of Hell's Kitchen is 85 points. The fresh tuna made by Dewin is barely 85 points, not much!
Devin noticed the chef's dissatisfied expression, and also noticed Justin's rare frown expression - Devin's failed tuna made Justin have to make a new order of lamb chops, because other orders happened to not order lamb chops!
The successive failures made the atmosphere in the kitchen sour.
The atmosphere that had gradually begun to flow became stiff again, and the male players entered the state of working alone again. They no longer communicated with their teammates more or less as before.
"At the side dish table, two servings of tuna will be out of the pot in one minute." Sean was still trying to save the disadvantage, trying to set an example to communicate with the side dish table and his teammates, but the others didn't give him extra attention at all.
"Understood." Xiao Buxian on the garnish table replied calmly, and Sean couldn't help frowning in that unenthusiastic voice.
After coming here a few times, in the huge kitchen, apart from the sound of ingredients being stir-fried and fried, it was only Sean talking to himself, and there were other people's answers.Gradually, even Sean himself fell into silence, stopped talking, and just continued to pay attention to the pot in front of him.
Gordon looked at all this with cold eyes, watched the blue team kill their fighting spirit and cook without passion, and shook his head in disappointment.
Compared with the red team next to it, the blue team is far behind.
In terms of communication, cooperation, and mutual encouragement, the blue team is far behind the red team.
This may be due to the fact that the male players did not adjust in time, but it is more... the difference between the leaders.
Looking at Sean with a gloomy face, Gordon shook his head in his heart.
He might be a good cook, he might be a good restaurateur, but it's very difficult for him to be a good chef.A chef must have absolute leadership in the kitchen. If he doesn't have it now, he will have it in the future, at least with this potential.
But Sean can only lead the kitchen when things aren't bad, and there's not much he can do when things get stalemate.
This player has a good personality, confident, active, and able to care about his teammates, but for the leader, the most important and most invisible aura, he does not have.
Some are another player.
"The cod is ready!"
"The side dishes are here!"
The timing was almost accurate, and a main dish was delivered to the mouth like flowing water, with steaming white steam rising from the top of the plate.
"no problem."
"no problem."
"can."
Gordon looked through it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he nodded slightly and asked the waiter to deliver the packaged dishes.
Even though the chef didn't specifically praise it, this kind of affirmation has greatly relieved the female contestants who had been scolded heavily before. They looked at each other with relaxed smiles on their faces-as long as they are affirmed and successful, the team members All the unpleasantness and petty frictions of the experience seem less important.
"Wellington is ready!"
“The side dishes of Wellington are here!”
"The pan-fried lamb chops are ready!"
"The grilled pork chops are here, please borrow!"
Yili and Erin also delivered their dishes steadily.
"Okay, send it out."
"Wellington has done a fantastic job."
"The Meat Table is doing very well."
The chef also nodded in satisfaction.
The red team seemed to be gradually getting into shape, and they didn't make any mistakes in several orders.
If it can continue, the red team will win this round.
"You all did a good job, keep it up!" Gordon sent another table of dishes, and turned around to encourage him.
"Yes, Chef!" There is no better voice in Hell's Kitchen than Chef's affirmation.Hearing the chef's rare unabashed appreciation, the female contestants were all very excited, and even their hands that turned the pot became stronger!
Gordon nodded, and after explaining a few words to the female team's sous chef, he walked to the blue team's kitchen on the sidelines. It's a good thing for the players to cooperate happily, but it's too boring for the TV show. up.
The audience watching Hell's Kitchen is to watch the contestants' disputes, release their pressure in reality, and occasionally enjoy visual delicacies.The show wouldn't be as interesting without the bickering.So after everything goes well for the red team, the chef will go to the blue team to "supervise".
However, compared to the red team, which is getting better and better, the blue team still seems to be stumbling.
"Gentlemen, look at what you've made!" Gordon couldn't help frowning as he looked at the seemingly motionless order posted behind the food delivery port, "Since I went to the kitchen next door, you have even finished One order?! Just one! Is there any?!"
"..." The male contestants remained silent, just immersed themselves in their work—to be honest, there was still one copy, and more precisely, there were actually more than one copy, there were several copies.But this kind of answer seems too unambitious. An ambitious answer should be something like "We have already cleared the order, and this is a new order, Chef".
"Hey! Can anyone answer me? What have you guys been doing for so long?!" Seeing the silence of the blue team, Gordon couldn't help rubbing his forehead again—the red team next to him did a good job. The enthusiasm was in full swing, and the orders were completed one after another, but the blue team not only did not complete any work, but the team atmosphere was so depressed!Can this help?thought the chef suspiciously.
"We've been working, Chef." Sean on the fish dining table was the first to speak at last - he won the finale victory for the blue team in the first challenge, and in the second scallop challenge He also scored valuable points for the blue team, and he did not perform badly in the dinner service. In addition to his outgoing and confident personality, he has the courage to speak to the chef.
"Since you are working, come up with some results!" Gordon is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. Even if Sean stood up, Gordon was not fully prepared to vent his anger on him. He still urged the entire blue team, "If you are in If you don't do anything, I can guarantee that one of you will get out tonight! Do you understand?"
"Yes, Chef!" After being reminded by the Chef, the male contestants immediately trembled. Thinking of Nick who had only participated in the first round of the competition and had to leave with regret, he felt a kind of desolation in his heart, but because of this And there was a kind of desperate energy-none of them wanted to be the second Nick!No one wants to just go home like this!
"The pan-fried lamb chops are ready." Sean's good brother Justin also spoke. Compared with Sean's response to the chef, Justin, who is good at cooking but not good at words, can only do things silently and will only serve the dishes and report silently.
"The tuna is ready too." Justin served the lamb chops, and Sean, who was making the same order as Justin, quickly served his fish, waiting for the chef's inspection.
Gordon looked at the side of the mutton, and saw that the mutton was well done, not too raw pink, nor too old meat red, but the most appetizing meat pink.The main course of this kind of meat is generally not easy to try. Unlike the angel noodles or risotto in the appetizer, the chef will not affect the appearance after tasting it. These complete pieces of meat will be very obvious if a corner is missing.However, even if you can't taste it, the slightly muttony aroma of the mutton still penetrates into your nose, which makes you feel a warm feeling in your stomach before you finish your mouth.
"The lamb chops are fried very well, and the quality is pretty good." Gordon nodded appreciatively to Justin—he was very optimistic about the young man's strength, and the only thing that made the chef hesitate was that Justin seemed to have no aura or leadership. Strength, unable to stand up at the critical moment to improve the team's situation.
"Yes, chef." After receiving the chef's strong affirmation, Justin, who had returned to the workbench and was about to prepare the next dish, immediately nodded to the chef—although his personality was dull, Justin's attitude was really good , He is quite serious about his work, and Gordon appreciates such a young man.
Gordon turned his gaze to the next dish served on the next plate. The tuna looked very well fried. Gordon nodded secretly, then raised the fish steak, and looked at the back of the tuna for a while—Gordon's face suddenly pulled down.
"Sean, did you cook tuna?!" Gordon asked in a bad tone.
"Yes, Chef!" Sean's tone was always energetic, but he lacked confidence—everyone knows that when the chef asks this question, the possibility of being appreciated is not impossible, but it is very small, more Both will get terrible criticism!
"Come here!" Gordon threw Sean's tuna directly in front of him, turned the tuna over roughly, and put the back side in front of Sean, "Look, look at this side! Tell me, this What is it!"
"This is..." Sean looked at the little bit of transparent white on the back of the tuna, and replied bravely, "Uncooked, chef!" The cooked tuna should be snow-white and delicate with a little bit of whiteness on it. A touch of alluring gold, rather than this pale translucent texture.Even if it wasn't all over the side, it was definitely undercooked in some places.
"Very good, it's not hopeless!" Sean's understanding made Gordon purse his lips and nod, "Go redo it!"
"Yes, chef!" Sean replied quickly, and then picked up the tuna, and while the frying pan hadn't been changed, he quickly put it down and fry it again—it's the same ingredient and the same dish, but at this time No need to change the pot.Moreover, he is partially undercooked, unlike the overcooked ones, which are not irreparable sometimes.
Sean also wants to work hard to get the tuna back on the table as soon as possible, otherwise, if he completely ruins it and starts over, Justin's lamb chops will definitely go cold!Sean doesn't want to drag his teammates down, let alone his good brother!
Calculating the time in his mind, he re-fried the tuna. Sean quickly put it on a plate and handed it to the chef.
"No problem." The chef nodded, touched the side dishes on the side, and couldn't help cursing again, "[beep]! The side dishes are cold! Can't you [beep] pay attention? First Main dish, side dish again! What are you doing tonight!"
"I'm sorry, chef!" Apparently hearing the chef's scolding, the side dish table hastily re-ordered the tuna-serving cherry radish (a small red radish) and asparagus, and explained to the chef.
"You really..." Gordon shook his head again and again, "Can't one of you [beep] take the initiative to stand up? Who [beep] can lead this damn kitchen?!"
Generally speaking, the female contestants in Hell's Kitchen are more independent. Although the male contestants may not necessarily unite, they don't quarrel too much, and the cooperation is quite harmonious.However, a strange phenomenon appeared in this competition. The female contestants were the first to unite together, while the male contestants split silently instead!
The reason for this is not difficult to imagine-a strong leader appeared among the female players this time. Although she is not strong, she is unexpectedly gentle and humble, but she does unite all the players together, whether it is friendly or Hostile, my prestige is also established in the method of moistening things silently.
On the men's team, it's the opposite. At present, none of the men's players with leadership potential has emerged. Although there are no heated disputes, there is no tacit cooperation.Especially after losing in the Challenger League, there were some voices of mutual accusation in the men's team, but with the persuasion of others, this accusation was quickly dispelled, but the cracks may not have disappeared.So, there was a reason for the blue team's stiff cooperation during this night's dinner service.
However, having said that, it's not that the blue team really did a bad job, but that the red team did a great job!
Throughout the seasons of Hell's Kitchen, very few players can dominate the whole team at the beginning of the game. There is always a process of understanding and running in with each other. Afterwards, the cooperation is a team game that truly works together and comes naturally. It's just an n vs n individual competition.
However, although the current red team is not completely unified, the invisible cohesion and appeal of the players are already quite conspicuous.So in this dinner service, the red team has slowly entered the team game mode, while the blue team has stopped in their respective games with n players. It is normal for such a blue team to be inferior to the red team in terms of cooperation and efficiency up!If the blue team doesn't make changes, and doesn't become a team as soon as possible, it will definitely be beaten by the red team!
As a host and a member of the program team, Gordon doesn't want to see a situation where one party is overpowering the other, so that the suspense of the program will be reduced and the viewability will be reduced; as the chef of the kitchen, Gordon hopes that the blue team Can discover their potential as soon as possible, can complete their integration and cooperation as quickly as possible, and compete with the red team normally, instead of losing directly with aggrieved!
Gordon's words moved the hearts of many male contestants—those who will participate in Hell's Kitchen rarely stand aloof from the world and have no desire for power.This is nonsense, they don't want to stand out, they just want to study their culinary skills silently, the contestants will never come to endure the chef's poisonous tongue, just for a possible chance to run their own restaurant.Even the quietest Justin has a desperate ambition to win the championship!
Sean has decided to come forward!
He decided to lead the blue team to victory by himself!
"Xiao, Josh, the side dishes are over to you, hurry up!" The tuna was handed over to the chef, and Sean returned to the cooking table, but this time, he decided to complete his work as a leader, so Actively urged the side dish table.
"Understood!" The two people at the side dish table frowned, feeling a little upset, but they didn't have an attack, but they couldn't help muttering in their hearts—who did it!If it wasn't for Sean's tuna that wasn't cooked right the first time, their side dishes wouldn't have gone cold, scolded by the chef, and had to be redone!
Now Sean is still acting like a captain, wanting to tell them what to do, it is really unbearable!But considering that the chef is on the side, arguing over such a trivial matter is too ugly, and the competition is more important now, so the two looked at each other and decided to work hard first, and talk about it after the game. two!
The rework of the side dishes is very fast. This mistake that the red team has also made and solved smoothly, it is also no problem when it comes to the blue team.The red cherry radishes and green asparagus cut in half were quickly fried and brought to the serving port, which was affirmed by the chef.
Only then did the two people at the side dishes heave a sigh of relief - if the two main dishes were completely cold and could not be sent out due to their mistakes in the side dishes, they would be in great danger in the future.If the game is lost, they are ready-made candidates to be eliminated!
Nick in the last round is a living example!
People who work on the relatively simple side dish table make frequent mistakes. Compared with those who work on the more difficult meat and fish table, even if the latter also makes mistakes, the mistakes of the former are even more unforgivable!For this reason, the chef chose to eliminate Nick in the end, rather than the other counter people who made the same mistake.
"A cod will be out of the pan in 2 minutes. Is Wellington ready? Is the side dish ready?" Sean shouted to his teammates while frying his cod.
"Wellington also takes 2 minutes." Justin was the first to respond to Sean. As a good brother, if he doesn't support the other party at this time, when will he support the other party?Moreover, more communication, more communication, can better cooperate.Justin is very happy to see some teammates speak up. Although he can also speak, he is not very good at expressing himself, and his opinions may not be heard by others.
"The side dishes are also ready, and they will be finished in 2 minutes." Seeing Justin's response, Xiao on the side dish table also spoke sullenly - if no one responded to Sean, he would have a valid reason for not answering.It's a pity that Justin spoke up. He didn't want to be charged with lack of teamwork, so he could only answer.
But he doesn't want to work with Sean at all!
After the previous challenge round, Sean was one of the people who thought that those who didn't get points should be responsible for the loss, so they should work more in the penalty round.In the later dinner service arrangement, Sean directly competed with him for the job at the fish table. Obviously Sean had worked at the meat table last time, but this time he wanted to compete with him for the job at the fish table!
What made Xiao angry the most was that he didn't grab Sean, so after working at the appetizer, he could only work at the side dish!Obviously, everyone else rotated between the main dish work station and other work stations, but he was the unimportant work station twice, and Sean was at the main course work station both times!The last time it was at the meat table, this time it was at the fish table!
The others are also idiots, they happily voted for Sean after being called out by Sean's brothers one by one!To his [beep] brother game!Are they little boys?Still playing this set!He also said that capable people should do more important work, so it's better to let Sean go to the meat table first this time! [Beep] It's powerful!But the Challenge was lucky enough to win once!It's not the credit of Sean alone, but that bastard acted like the biggest contributor!hateful!
Xiao thought bitterly while cutting up the artichokes that were used as a side dish.
No matter what they thought, Sean's cod, Justin's Wellington, and of course, Xiao's side dishes quickly passed the chef's inspection and were sent out.Sean secretly heaved a sigh of relief—if his dishes were sent back by the chef, the others might laugh at him in their hearts for not being able to handle his own abilities. While he wanted to lead the kitchen, he couldn't even cook the dishes well.Fortunately, the results are good so far.
"Who made this grilled pork chop?" After a while, the chef asked again with a plate of dishes brought to him.
"It's me, Chef." Renault, who was on the meat counter with Justin, stood up.
"It's too [beep] dry! Look at this meat, what a lot of wood! Do you want our guests to chew wood?" The chef pushed the cut pork chops aside so that Reno could see the cut sides of the pork, "One No gravy at all! Not at all! Well done doesn't mean dry, chai, no juice okay?! Heavy, do it!"
"Yes, chef!" Seeing the chef dump the spoiled pork chops into the trash can without hesitation, Renault felt ashamed and embarrassed, his face was on fire, but fortunately his naturally dark skin did not show any blush. But he still wanted to find a hole to drill back.But in the face of the chef's stern gaze, he didn't even dare to escape. He could only respond in a low voice, stiffly walked back to his cooking table, and continued to work.
"Reynolds, don't be nervous!" Since Sean decided to lead the kitchen, of course he must care about the situation of the team members, "You are a good cook, this is just a mistake!" He took the time to pat the black man while frying fish. Big tall shoulders.
"Thank you." Renault nodded gratefully to Sean. The other party's comfort made him feel much better. However, thinking of the horrible expression on the chef's face just now, Renault couldn't calm down—his heart was not as strong as he looked , in fact, is quite fragile.But cooking is the only thing he can prove himself, and he must not just give up!
but--
"Raw! This [beep] is raw!" Gordon looked at the tall man standing helplessly in front of him, and roared angrily, "Why is it either too familiar or too raw? I [beep] ] I don’t understand, no matter what kind of meat it is, you all have the ability to make all kinds of strange looks! But I only want one, the one that meets the standard! Do you understand?”
"Understood, chef." Reynolds looked down at the chef who kept stabbing the plate to his chest, feeling sad and about to collapse, "I will do it well! I will never do this again next time!"
"There will be no next time!" Gordon slammed the dinner plate on the cooking table in front of Renault, "What are you doing in a daze! Go, do, do! I solemnly warn you, if you serve me this kind of thing again , you get out of here!"
"Yes, yes, chef!" The tall, dark-skinned man moved his lips, and finally agreed.
If it wasn't in front of the camera, if it wasn't still at work, Renault really couldn't help crying.
But in a subsequent personal interview, Renault did admit that he was in a broken mood at this time, and accidentally cried out while talking.The way the big tall man wiped his tears clumsily with red circles under his eyes made people very sad.
"When I was young, I lived in an area where there were many white people and few black people. When I was in school, black children like me were abused and bullied, their textbooks were torn off, their schoolbags were cut, and their heads were pushed into the toilet. , are common things. At that time, my dad kept sighing, and my mom would make me some holiday pies, and I felt that the days of school were not so difficult. For me, cooking is very blissful , Very warm things, I hope to make food that touches the chef, not disappoints the chef." The tall and strong black-skinned middle-aged man in his 40s said with a sob.
In his time, people of color suffered far more discrimination and campus bullying than they do now. Of course, it is not the case now, but it is much less in comparison, and anti-discrimination has become a social consensus.Even if some people still have a sense of racial superiority in their hearts, they will at least restrain themselves from showing it, instead of hurting others maliciously like people did a few decades ago.
At this time, seeing Renault's frustrated look, Sean could only sigh helplessly—if it was a coordination problem, he could of course help to regulate it, but if it was a dish that couldn't be cooked well, it would be very troublesome.Dishes that take a short time are fine, but for such long dishes that take ten or ten minutes at every turn, no one else can do anything about it—everyone has their own job.Even Justin, who works at the same table as Renault, has to worry about Wellington and pan-fried lamb chops.Justin has tried his best to reduce Raynor's workload and has taken over most of the catering work himself.
"When you bake it later, bake it for a shorter time first, otherwise if it is overcooked, it will dry out again." Justin took the time to remind Reynolds, "The raw ones can be baked again, but the overcooked ones can't be helped." gone."
Moreover, the recipe in Hell's Kitchen records the total cooking time. If the cooking time is not enough, the cooking time must be continued. The contestants need to judge how long they need to bake.For the sake of caution, it is indeed better to take it slowly.
"Well, thank you." Renault nodded to Justin, and put the undercooked pork chops into the oven again.
When Reynolds struggled with grilling pork chops, the state of the blue team's kitchen seemed to be in a slump.
"Dewin, is your tuna ready? The lamb chops are still 2 minutes away." Justin asked Dewin while frying the lamb chops.His lamb chops were in the same order as the tuna, and Sean was cooking cod, so Devin's tuna should be with him.
"Soon, soon!" said the good-tempered Dewen while wiping the hot sweat from his brow.
"How soon is it? You should give an exact time. Did the side dish tell you?" Justin asked again.
"This..." Devin looked at the slightly fuzzy tuna on one side, and was a little uncertain whether he should do it again, but he couldn't help but think that doing it again would definitely be a drag on time, and it might make Justin feel uncomfortable. The lamb chops were also cold, and that was his responsibility.Moreover, the tuna is not badly mushy, it’s just that the middle of one side is fried a little bit darker, it’s neither raw nor overcooked, it should be able to pass the chef’s test, “Side dishes, tuna out of the pan in 2 minutes! "
"Received!" Josh from the side dish counter replied, he simply heated up the oil pan, cut up the side dishes, and started frying them immediately.
Seeing that Dewin seemed to be okay, Justin didn't care anymore, and continued to focus on his lamb chops.
Soon, the two also served their dishes.
"The lamb chops are well done." Gordon admired Justin's craftsmanship, but when he saw Dewin's tuna, he frowned, and directly brought the plate to the front of the cooking table of the contestants to show, "Who [BEEP] Cooked tuna? Look, you all have a look, one side is battered and the other side is raw! This stuff is not as good as [BEEP]!"
"..." Dewin's cold sweat immediately broke down, and the brows of the others also frowned.
"I've had enough of this one night!" Gordon closed his eyes, "If anyone makes something that is inferior to [beep] again, I'll tell you all to get out of the kitchen!" Gordon said again Glancing at the weird tuna on the plate, he showed an expression that he couldn't bear to look directly at, and looked away, "I don't even want to look at this disgusting thing again! It hurts my eyes!"
"..." The chef's poisonous tongue is really disturbing, but what is even more disturbing is the chef's threat.No, that's not a threat.If any of them mess up next time, the chef will really drive them all out mercilessly!Male players know this.
In this precarious environment, Reynolds served his grilled pork chops with trepidation.
If he could, he really didn't want to serve the food after the chef had just gotten angry, it would be a bullet point!But if the dish is not served, it will be cold, which will definitely make the chef furious, so Reynolds can only bite the bullet and bring it over.
Must pass!Must pass!Must pass!Renault kept praying in his heart.
The chef looked at the grilled pork chop that had made Renault tremble all night, checked it, and without saying a word, asked the waiter to deliver this American-style grilled pork chop along with other dishes on the same order.
Seeing the chef's unsmiling expression, Lei Nuo, who had been paying attention to the movement of the food delivery mouth, was greatly relieved in his heart-it will be fine after sending it out!Next, as long as you play well, you will pass this level!
At this time, Lei Nuo realized that his back was soaked, and the short-sleeved T-shirt in the chef's uniform was sticking to his vest with sweat, but he didn't realize it before.
Compared with Renault who survived the storm, Dewin was in trouble!
His tuna failed the chef's quality inspection and had to be redone. The chef was dissatisfied and asked the waiter to deliver this tuna-if a dish has a perfect score of 100 points, the top restaurant may be 100 points are required, the quality requirement of a real high-end restaurant is 90 points, and the requirement of Hell's Kitchen is 85 points. The fresh tuna made by Dewin is barely 85 points, not much!
Devin noticed the chef's dissatisfied expression, and also noticed Justin's rare frown expression - Devin's failed tuna made Justin have to make a new order of lamb chops, because other orders happened to not order lamb chops!
The successive failures made the atmosphere in the kitchen sour.
The atmosphere that had gradually begun to flow became stiff again, and the male players entered the state of working alone again. They no longer communicated with their teammates more or less as before.
"At the side dish table, two servings of tuna will be out of the pot in one minute." Sean was still trying to save the disadvantage, trying to set an example to communicate with the side dish table and his teammates, but the others didn't give him extra attention at all.
"Understood." Xiao Buxian on the garnish table replied calmly, and Sean couldn't help frowning in that unenthusiastic voice.
After coming here a few times, in the huge kitchen, apart from the sound of ingredients being stir-fried and fried, it was only Sean talking to himself, and there were other people's answers.Gradually, even Sean himself fell into silence, stopped talking, and just continued to pay attention to the pot in front of him.
Gordon looked at all this with cold eyes, watched the blue team kill their fighting spirit and cook without passion, and shook his head in disappointment.
Compared with the red team next to it, the blue team is far behind.
In terms of communication, cooperation, and mutual encouragement, the blue team is far behind the red team.
This may be due to the fact that the male players did not adjust in time, but it is more... the difference between the leaders.
Looking at Sean with a gloomy face, Gordon shook his head in his heart.
He might be a good cook, he might be a good restaurateur, but it's very difficult for him to be a good chef.A chef must have absolute leadership in the kitchen. If he doesn't have it now, he will have it in the future, at least with this potential.
But Sean can only lead the kitchen when things aren't bad, and there's not much he can do when things get stalemate.
This player has a good personality, confident, active, and able to care about his teammates, but for the leader, the most important and most invisible aura, he does not have.
Some are another player.
