Don't you lose on this detail? Where did it fail
Several people at the seafood exhibition were stunned.
"The more precious the ingredients are, it means that their own taste is delicious enough and does not need too much seasoning. Therefore, if you are a regular eater of foods like abalone, when you see that abalone and lobster are so precious, When you buy ingredients, you won’t have high expectations for its taste, and you won’t waste time tasting them.”
After listening to Liu Pleiaxing's words, several people suddenly realized and understood.
The reason why there were relatively few people at their booth from the beginning was not because the food they cooked tasted bad, but because the diners who could afford to spend thousands of dollars to come in and eat delicious food must not have eaten less. Had abalone and lobster.
So although the taste of these two precious ingredients is not bad, diners don't have much expectations for their taste. To put it more bluntly, for wealthy people, abalone and lobster are no different from ordinary Chinese cabbage in their eyes.
Although this Chinese cabbage is more delicious.
If it were normal times, they might taste it slowly, but there were so many delicious foods on site today, so they definitely wanted to find some that they had never eaten before.
Therefore, food such as abalone is completely unattractive to them.
"It turns out that we lost here." The master slapped his head, regretting that he was so stubborn to participate in this kind of competition.
In this kind of competition, everyone is here to appreciate the skills of the chefs, not to eat precious ingredients. Unless you bring out ingredients such as white truffles and caviar, it is impossible to attract others through the ingredients.
After Liu Pleiades finished speaking, he left to taste the works of other chefs. Several people in the seafood exhibition area also started to pack up their things and prepare to leave. After all, there were too few people in their booth.
"Went to eat for a while, how do you feel?" Fang Ze asked Liu Pleiaxing.
"Although technically there isn't much to recommend it, the ingredients you have here are really rich. There are so many foods and condiments that I have never seen before."
"Well, it's not that we have abundant ingredients here. In fact, what we have is also available in your world, but because of the inconvenient transportation, you haven't discovered it yet."
"Yes, China alone has such a vast area, and I don't know how many good things are hidden there. When these competitions are over and we go back, can Brother Fang help me collect the special delicacies in different parts of China? Or special ingredients, I want to slowly look for them when I go back and continue my journey of training as a chef."
"Okay, no problem." Fang Ze nodded.
An hour later, the competition in the lobby on the first floor was over, and everyone's score sheets were collected. After statistics, Ju Xia downstairs booth composed of Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades had no doubt successfully advanced.
"Congratulations on advancing." The staff member who came to congratulate Fang Ze and the others was the same one who persuaded them to participate in the competition.
This guy's eyes were as wide as light bulbs at this time, with a look of disbelief on his face.
I randomly invited two people to participate in the competition, and they actually advanced? !
Could it be that the chefs present are all good at making big dishes, but their home-cooked dishes seem to be more friendly to the people, and the diners eat them more kindly, so they can advance!
But no matter what, the competition scores showed that Fang Ze and the others had indeed advanced and could go to the second floor to participate in the competition.
"This is your entry card." The staff handed the entry card to Fang Ze and the others, and then continued, "The diners on the second floor are more professional gourmets and media people, so their tastes are more picky. If If you make home-cooked meals again, no matter how good you are, you probably won’t be able to advance further.”
The staff disclosed internal information to Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades attentively.
Of course, the chefs who came to participate in the competition knew this internal information more or less, but contestants like Fang Ze who participated halfway would definitely not know. However, when the staff revealed this news, they also hoped that Fang Ze and the others could go further.
After all, it was he who recommended Fang Ze to participate in the competition. If he could advance to the front, it would be a surprise for him.
However, the staff's words also caused a lot of trouble to Fang Ze.
If you don’t cook home-cooked meals, what will you do
After all, their ingredients are limited. Even if they want to make some big dishes, they don't have enough ingredients to do it.
And more importantly, the most important part of a big dish is the preliminary preparation. Many processes take several hours or even days to prepare.
If you prepare in advance, of course there will be no problem. But Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades didn't have much time to prepare.
After the staff left, Fang Ze couldn't think of what to cook, so he looked at Liu Pleiaxing and wanted Liu Pleiaxing to give him an idea.
"Little brother." Just as Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades were thinking, a voice came over.
Liu Pleiax looked up and found that the master chef from the previous seafood booth was coming over.
"Little brother must have advanced." Master Master asked Liu Pleiades.
"Yes." Liu Pleiades nodded.
Fang Ze looked at Liu Pleiades and the master talking and wondered what was going on. Why did Liu Pleiades still have acquaintances here
"Have you known in advance who the diners on the second floor are?" the master chef asked, looking at Liu Pleiaxing.
"The staff member just told us." Liu Pleiades didn't think about what to do at this time, so he said it bluntly, "If the diners are indeed more professional gourmets, then we need to cook some big dishes." We can hold up the scene, but we didn’t bring our own ingredients this time, and the ingredients prepared by the organizer for us were just ordinary ingredients, so we haven’t figured out what to cook yet.”
"I guessed it would be like this." The master chef said to Liu Pleiades with a smile, "Our competition is over this time, but there are still a lot of ingredients left. It's troublesome to bring them back, so I can give them all to you. That's it. To repay you for your previous guidance.”
"Thank you so much." Liu Pleiaxing heard the words of the master and immediately expressed his gratitude. Then he thought for a moment and then said, "There is no need to give them all to us. We don't need much. But I have seen you bring them before. I have lobster, is there any left?"
"There are some." The master nodded quickly and said, "I still have four particularly large Australian lobsters left here. If necessary, I will get them for you immediately."
"Thank you very much." Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades thanked the master together.
This can be regarded as a solution to an urgent need. Just like what Liu Pleiades told the master chef before, no matter how delicious any dish is, it is impossible to win the hearts of diners if it is changed according to the diners.
Media people and general professional gourmets all have more or less big dishes.
This is determined by their work.
If they're recommending food from a bistro, it doesn't hurt to recommend some home-cooked food. But in this competition where the government invests a lot of resources, even if this home-cooked dish is incredibly delicious, they won't give it too high a score.
Because I can’t write a food review.
Just like the fried shredded pork with green pepper just now, it is really delicious, incredibly delicious. But only those who have eaten it will know how delicious it is. In the eyes of those who have never eaten it, this is just an ordinary home-cooked dish. How delicious can it be
When people are done, they have to write food reviews and news reports. Delicious things are inherently difficult to describe in words. Even if you pile up all the words, in the eyes of readers, this is just a home-cooked dish, just a stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers.
Anyway, they can't eat it, and they can't cook it, so they have to come up with some conspiracy theories, such as whether this chef has a very big background, so he can get high scores just by cooking home-cooked food.
Therefore, if Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades want to successfully advance to the third level, they can only cook big dishes, the kind of big dishes that can make people feel how delicious they are through words.
The master chef quickly brought the lobster over.
Four Australian lobsters the size of forearms.
"Well." After the master handed the bucket with the lobster to Fang Ze and the others, he said sheepishly, "Since you are going to make seafood, can you let me, an incompetent apprentice, join in and give you a try?"
The master chef had a smile on his face. Before Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades could answer, he quickly continued, "Of course, if the dish you are going to cook involves some unique method, then forget it, I'm just talking about it."
"Although the method is indeed a bit novel, it doesn't matter. Let your apprentice come over. There are no secrets between chefs. Only through constant communication and innovation can we make more delicious dishes." Liu Pleiades replied nonchalantly.
"Thank you so much." The master quickly bowed his head and thanked him. After all, a chef who can advance through the ranks with just one home-cooked dish must be doing a pretty good job.
Even if you can't learn it, it's good to open your apprentice's eyes.
And the master master also has his own Xiao Jiujiu. After all, he is the chef, so he cannot join other people's teams casually, and others will definitely not accept it. This has the meaning of overshadowing the guest.
But it’s no problem if his apprentice is still an apprentice. It will open his eyes together. When he takes charge of the dishes in the future, he can also tell the guests about this history. Anyway, the guests will definitely not know that he just followed someone else’s team to get up there. .
"I've agreed, why don't you hurry in and help." The master slapped his apprentice on the back of the head and told his apprentice to hurry over.
"Thank you, thank you." This apprentice was also smart. Knowing that this opportunity was rare, he hurried over.
After the master chef left, Fang Ze and others also took the lobsters to the second floor and began to make preparations.
