"Husband, help me take a look, does this dress show your stomach?"
Before the recording of the show officially started, Yu Antong changed into a chef uniform and asked Xing Lixuan in a low voice.
This issue of "God of Chef is Coming!" "The filming took place at the hotel where the judge Sun Ming was the executive chef. All four contestants had to change into uniform chef uniforms in the hotel kitchen.
The program team gave him clothes according to Yu Antong's size, and he felt a little tummy after putting them on.
"Yes." Xing Lixuan said, "Ask them to change you to a bigger size?"
The two were talking, and the program director over there shouted: "Everyone, get ready, the filming will start right away."
Yu Antong didn't want to waste everyone's time: "Forget it, let it be like this, no one should pay attention."
Xing Lixuan, as a judge, separated from the contestants and walked to the other side.
The recording started, and the host appeared with a small black box in his hands. With his usual malicious smile on his face, he said mysteriously: "As usual, we will draw lots first when this episode begins."
"According to the ranking in the previous issue, Yu Antong will come first."
Yu Antong stepped forward and touched a card, which was different from the previous number cards, this time there was a word written on it: "Red".
What's the meaning? Booming? The theme of this dish
Before Yu Antong figured it out, the other three were also drawn.
Zhuang Zhouyang asked curiously: "I am a blue character, what are you?"
"I'm blue too." Fu Fengxing flipped over his card.
Fu Fengxing and Zhuang Zhouyang got the same ones, while Xie Wenchang and Yu Antong got the same ones.
The host said: "This time, we will divide you into two teams, red and blue, according to the color of the cards you drew, and two teams will work together to complete this challenge!"
Yu Antong was very surprised. In the previous rounds, the players competed with each other and never cooperated. In this round, they actually have to cooperate, and his teammate should be the weakest one among them.
"You will work together to complete four dishes in the next two hours. At that time, five VIP guests in the hotel and our five judges will comment on your dishes."
"The team that wins will advance directly to the top three, and the team that loses will face a cruel overtime PK where teammates become opponents. The winner of the overtime will get the final spot in the top three."
The host continued: "An excellent chef should be able to adapt and organize the new team as quickly as possible, so there is one last rule in this competition. There are only two players in each team, which means that there are only two players in your original team. No one else can participate in this competition."
Yu Antong opened his mouth in astonishment, without the help of Jiang Yuxiu and Lin Haoning, he was not sure if his physical strength was enough to support him to complete the competition.
In the case of weak teammates, Yu Antong is a little worried about this game.
Yu Antong quickly calculated several possibilities.
The first, and the best situation, is that he and Xie Wenchang work hard to determine the winner and loser in one game, so that they don't have to participate in overtime.
The second is that they lose this match, which is also the most likely scenario, he and Xie Wenchang PK.
In this case, it seems that Xie Wenchang's chances of winning against him are slim, but after the previous two hours, his physical strength will be very exhausted. For example, hand-made beef balls and the like, he is completely defeated.
Unless he was playing negatively and conserving his strength during the first two hours of the first game, but this was to protect himself and sell Xie Wenchang.
As soon as this idea appeared, Yu Antong threw it to the back of his mind.
It is true that he wants to win, and after the hard work in the past few periods, his desire to win the championship has become stronger and stronger, but he cannot use this kind of strategy to win at the expense of others.
Since it's a culinary competition, let's fight head-to-head.
Yu Antong said to Xie Wenchang with firm eyes: "We must win!"
Xie Wenchang knew that his level was the worst, and he thought that no matter who was on the same team as him, he would feel unlucky and be dragged down. Unexpectedly, Yu Antong didn't complain, but actually believed him so much, telling him that they were going to win.
Xie Wenchang, who had already planned to be eliminated in this round, was touched by Yu Antong's eyes.
Sweeping away the lack of self-confidence and frustration in his heart, he firmly said: "I will definitely do my best, and we will definitely win!"
The host announced four dishes: "Lion's head with crab powder, catfish in white sauce, sturgeon with tomato and thyme, fried scallops with foie gras, two Chinese and two Western, the timer starts!"
Yu Antong is not good at cooking Western food, but this time when he saw two Western dishes, he looked at Xie Wenchang with some surprise: "Are you the best at Western food?"
One reason why Xie Wenchang's performance in the show has been mediocre is that this show seldom gives contestants the opportunity to make Western-style dishes in order to respond to the call of the above to promote Chinese cuisine.
Xie Wenchang's Chinese food is average, and his Western food skills are useless, so it is very difficult to make it all the way.
Today seemed to be a special opportunity for him to prove himself. Xie Wenchang was more confident. He high-fived Yu Antong: "Well, we are sure to win this time!"
The two had a clear division of labor and quickly entered the state, but Zhuang Zhouyang's team had a disagreement.
The two have their own ideas, and no one agrees with the other.
Zhuang Zhouyang said: "I think we can prepare the ingredients for each dish first, and then start the fire, so as to ensure the taste of the food to the greatest extent, so as not to let the judges evaluate some dishes. The dishes came out of the pan in a hurry."
Fu Fengxing: "It's easy to mess up like this, and one person is still in charge of the whole dish."
The two argued for a long time, and finally went their separate ways.
Yu Antong didn't have any helpers, he had to do everything by himself, and the progress was relatively slow.
Crab noodles and lion heads are time-consuming, so Yu Antong plans to make this first.
He first steamed the crabs, boiled a small pot of chicken soup, took advantage of this time to chop the fat pork into the size of pomegranate rice, and chopped all kinds of onion, ginger and garlic ingredients.
After the crabs were steamed, he took out the crab meat and crab powder, sautéed them with oil and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, set aside a little for garnishing, and poured the rest of the crab meat into the meat filling.
Stir the minced meat with seasoning vigorously, then wet the hands with water, and form the minced meat into a lion's head shape. Because of the limited time, Yu Antong didn't dare to make it too big for fear that it would not be cooked through.
He put a layer of vegetable leaves in the casserole, put the balled lion head into the casserole, then sprinkled the reserved crab meat on top, covered with a layer of vegetable leaves, poured in chicken broth, and simmered Just forget about it.
He glanced at Xie Wenchang's side and saw that he was progressing smoothly, so he continued to cook the next dish with confidence.
He washed the catfish and cut it into pieces, blanched the skin of the catfish in boiling water to remove a layer of mucus to prevent fishy smell, then washed the firm fish flesh in cold water and drained it.
Heat up the frying pan on high heat, add lard, add green onion and ginger, stir fry until fragrant, remove, put the catfish pieces in and fry for a while, then put them in a casserole, cover with wine, cover and simmer for a while, then add chopped Good bamboo shoots, salt, sugar, water, simmer for 15 minutes on low heat, then high heat to collect juice.
When it came out of the pot, the soup was white and greasy like milk|juice, and the appearance was up to standard. Yu Antong tasted it. The soup was thick and sticky, and the catfish was tender and delicate, and it was soaked with the faint fragrance of bamboo shoots.
Yu Antong nodded in satisfaction, this dish will definitely win.
"The last three minutes are left!" Yu Antong had just relaxed for a minute when the host shouted: "Please prepare the dishes. The first dish to be served is sturgeon with tomatoes and thyme."
Yu Antong asked Xie Wenchang: "How is it?"
Xie Wenchang just finished and gestured OK to him: "Don't worry."
This is his most successful one. Freshly out of the pan, the sliced sturgeon with tomatoes and thyme is fried until slightly burnt and yellow on both sides, exuding a tempting aroma.
The delicate sturgeon meat is paired with sweet and sour tomatoes, mixed with the smell of white wine, and the unique aroma of thyme, all of which reflect the romance and delicacy of French cuisine.
The edge of the white porcelain plate is decorated with a cherry tomato and two broccoli, which is a high-end dish that can appear in a five-star hotel.
Yu Antong gave him a thumbs up, then looked towards Zhuang Zhouyang.
Zhuang Zhouyang was in charge of this dish, and it seemed that it was done well.
After a while, the host shouted: "The food is served!"
A dedicated waiter came over to take out the dishes they had prepared. The lion's head with crab noodles was the last one to ask for the dish, so Yu Antong simply asked him to simmer on the fire until the last moment.
Yu Antong obviously felt that it would be better to stew the lion head with crab powder for a longer time, but there was no way, the competition time was limited.
This dish is what he is most worried about, but it's okay, because his opponent is not the standard crab meat lion head, but the blue team. It's still big, and the innermost layer may not be stewed through.
He still has a chance to beat the blue team.

"Check again, have you brought your test admission ticket, ID card, card-painting pen and so on?"
On the day of Yu Annan's college entrance examination, Yu Antong got up early and asked Xing Lixuan to drive her to the examination room.
Yu Annan checked it again: "There is nothing missing, brother, I'm in, brother Xing, take my brother back."
"Well, calm down and take the exam well. I will pick you up at noon."
Yu Annan glanced at his stomach: "Brother, don't run away, and then expose my little nephew."
There is a huge crowd of candidates outside the cordon at the school gate, and there are a lot of parents who come to send them off for the exam. It is really not complete because of the crowd.
"All right, all right." Yu Antong compromised, and only followed him once.
After two days of college entrance examination, Yu Antong took her sister home and prepared to cook a big table of delicious food for her as a reward.
"It's almost ready." Xing Lixuan followed to the kitchen and said rather sourly, "Six dishes, six or six are going well."
This is a treatment he has never had.
Yu Antong: "They're all home-cooked dishes, and they don't take much trouble."
And the ingredients are all prepared by the aunt's help. He sits up quickly and easily, without being tired at all.
Xing Lixuan still felt sorry for his daughter-in-law: "She doesn't want to stay at home for a few days during the summer vacation, you can do it for her a few more times, you don't need to do so much at once."
"I can't live anymore." Yu Antong said, "Her friend invited her to go on a graduation trip, and she will leave the day after tomorrow."
Yu Antong sighed: "It's good to be young, you can go wherever you want, and leave as you please."
Xing Lixuan: "..." Although he didn't know why, his intuition told him that he couldn't answer this question.
Sure enough, Yu Antong glanced at him quietly afterwards: "I really want to travel too."
Xing Lixuan: "Go, go, go when Xiaonian is born, and go wherever you want."
Yu Antong was dissatisfied: "I want to go now."
Xing Lixuan looked at his little Zuojing indifferently: "Dreaming is faster than flying."
Yu Antong was laughed at, handed the spatula to his aunt, and rushed to beat him: "You are so annoying!"
