Thirty judges tasted thirty-four dishes. These people all have a certain foundation in gourmet food, but they are by no means the most professional gourmets. In the first round of this chef competition, the test is the chef's dish pairing. General public appeal.
Some of the thirty judges directly selected dishes selectively, excluding those that they didn't like at first sight. Facing such judges, it was obviously the most advantageous to cling to a dish with a cute name like Pipa Half-covered Noodles. of.
But more judges still tasted these dishes in turn, striving to taste every dish to perfection, and Ye Chui was one of them.
Steamed crab with soy sauce, crab meat and potato stew, spicy crab meat, steamed crab with rice wine, crab meat with sour powder...
After tasting the delicacies one after another, Ye Chui was able to taste the cooking methods of these dishes even though he only took one bite. This was obviously very different from the other judges.
The tasting session ended quickly. Ye Chui thought silently for a moment before choosing three dishes that he thought were the most delicious and filling them out on the form, namely: Steamed Crab with Rice Wine, Dry-roasted Pipa Crab, and Spicy Crab Meat.
If Ye Chui guessed correctly, these three dishes would be the top three in this first competition.
Among them, steamed crab with rice wine is bound to win the title. The method of steaming crabs with rice wine is very simple. It is almost the same as ordinary steamed crabs. Steamed crabs were a Lu dish in Ye Chui’s previous life and have a long history. The meat is white and tender, and the yellow paste is juicy. The most interesting thing is that you can peel it while cooking. When eating, pour the juice prepared with ginger and vinegar into your mouth. It is the most delicious.
The only difference in steaming crabs with rice wine is that a little rice wine is put into the steamer, which adds an extra mellow aroma of rice wine to the steamed crabs. It’s just a simple procedure. But it has reached the most perfect harmony with the Pipa crab, making the original slightly bitter taste of the Pipa crab meat become mellow and delicious, to put it simply. This dish does not deliberately hide the bitterness of the Pipa crab, but sublimates it into another taste.
The chef who made this dish has reached an extremely high level of mastery of cooking skills.
The dry-roasted Pipa crab also gave Ye Chui a bright feeling. Although Hainan's Pipa crab is a specialty delicacy, the cooking method is not complicated and diverse. In the previous life, the most classic way to eat it was "dry-roasted".
Dry-roasted Pipa crab can be said to be a delicacy that has been refined over time. It is the most suitable method for Pipa crab. The recipe and eating method of dry-roasted Pipa crab have been lost for a long time, but it is absolutely commendable that this chef can study this method.
If Ye Chui guessed correctly, the chef who made this dry-roasted Pipa crab must be Tian Xiaodu.
Only after being around Ye Chui for a long time, can he start from the taste of the ingredients and use the principle of big soups to reflect the most essential taste of the meat, which is just slightly flawed. If Tian Xiaodu is given a little more time. The dry-roasted Pipa crab he made will definitely be the highlight of this crab competition.
As for the spicy crab meat dish, there is something good about it. Spicy crab is originally a very classic delicacy. In this world, the recipe has been lost. Being able to study the fragrance and spiciness to match the taste of crab meat is a chef's skill. Extraordinary, and Ye Chui can also conclude that this dish should be made by a woman, because some details of this dish are very good, and only a woman with careful mind can do it.
Ye Chui chooses these three dishes. After filling out the form and handing it over to the staff who specialized in collecting votes, he no longer had to go back to the lounge and turned around to the outside.
Originally, the selection site was blocked by railings. At this time, staff directly moved the railings to let the leaves hang out.
Ye Chui's selection process has been slow. By now, more than half of the judges have completed their selections.
"Master!"
As soon as they came out, Han Yuyan, Tian Xiaodu, Lin Wei, Anjing, and Wang Shiyu immediately gathered around them. Dong Youyou and Dong Qian were also together. Han Yuyan couldn't wait to ask: "Those are the three dishes you chose?" ? Is there any dish made by Senior Brother? Oh, by the way, the food cooked by Senior Brother is..."
Ye Chui interrupted her and looked at Tian Xiaodu with a smile: "It's the dry-roasted Pipa crab, it's very good."
Han Yuyan looked surprised: "Master, how do you know this? Did the senior brother tell you this before?"
Tian Xiaodu shook his head quickly: "Even Dong Qian doesn't know what I want to do these days."
Dong Qian nodded and looked at Ye Chui strangely, wondering how Ye Chui knew.
Ye Chui smiled and said: "After all, he is my apprentice. I can still taste the cooking techniques. If I guessed correctly, this dry-roasted Pipa crab should be ranked No. 1 in this competition." Two."
"Master, are you serious?" Tian Xiaodu immediately opened his eyes wide and said with surprise, "Can you really get the second place in this round?"
"You are so awesome." Dong Youyou stepped in from the side, holding the hand of her sister Dong Qian, and asked curiously, "Then do you know the dish my sister cooked?"
There was nothing he could do about this Ye Chui. He shook his head and said, "How do I know this?"
"My sister makes crab meat with egg sauce." Dong Youyou immediately replied, "Is this one among the three dishes you chose?"
"Uh, no." Ye Chui replied.
Dong Youyou immediately showed a disappointed look.
Ye Chui continued: "However, this dish tastes very good. If I guess correctly, I should be in the top eight and enter the next round smoothly."
Dong Qian's face was still a little ugly. After hearing Ye Chui's words, she said, "Do you think you are some kind of professional gourmet? You can be so sure?"
Ye Chui was not angry, and glanced at the selection scene that was coming to an end, and continued: "If I guessed correctly, the first place in this round of competition is the rice wine steamed crab, and Xiao Du's dry-roasted Pipa crab is also the winner. There is another spicy crab dish that should be ranked second or third. Both dishes have their own merits. I am not sure which one will win. As for the next five dishes, I can roughly guess that Master Dong’s egg sauce crab meat is One, as well as golden crab meat, potato crab meat stew, oil-sugar crab lumps, oh, and finally, there is a dish of half-covered noodles with pipa in hand. "
Hearing what Ye Chui said so eloquently, everyone else showed shocked expressions. Thirty-four dishes were selected by thirty judges. Ye Chui was able to select the top eight with such confidence. This was simply unbelievable. so amazing!
Tian Xiaodu, Han Yuyan, Jing Jing, and Lin Wei were all amazed.
After Dong Qian was stunned for a moment, she snorted coldly: "Mysterious!"
"Whether it's a trick or not, we'll find out when the rankings are announced." Ye Chui said with a smile.
In fact, he is not 100% sure now. After all, it is difficult to agree with others, and these judges are not professional, so there will inevitably be some discrepancies. However, Ye Chui's selection is based on the taste of the dishes and the psychological characteristics of these judges. , I believe they are still inseparable.
"Mr. Ye, Master Tian, hello." While we were chatting, a somewhat friendly voice suddenly came over. The person who came over was none other than Zhao Deguang. He was still wearing a pure white chef's uniform. The man was thin and had a stern look on his face. He walked over and continued, "I was really surprised to see Mr. Ye become a judge just now. I wonder which of the three dishes Mr. Ye chose?"
"Don't think too much, it's definitely not yours." Han Yuyan didn't have a good impression of Zhao Deguang and said directly.
Zhao Deguang glanced at Han Yuyan and said with a smile, "How do you know which dish I am cooking?"
"Is it the one holding the pipa and half covering his face?" Ye Chui said with a smile.
Zhao Deguang's face was slightly startled: "Have you heard other people mention this dish?"
Han Yuyan and others also looked at Ye Chui curiously. They had been paying attention to the competition between Tian Xiaodu and Dong Qian, but they had not paid attention to what Zhao Deguang was cooking. How did Ye Chui know
Ye Chui smiled: "I guessed."
"Guess?" Zhao Deguang obviously didn't believe it. He snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Ye, I would like to hear, what do you think of this dish?"
"This dish is indeed very good, but it's a pity that the ingredients you choose are small crabs that have not yet grown up, which greatly affects the taste." Ye Chui said with a faint smile, "When it comes to taste, among the thirty-four dishes, it is the best. Falling into inferiority.”
Zhao Deguang's face became even more ugly: "According to you, my dish can't even pass the first round?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Ye Chui shook his head, "The only redeeming feature of your dish is that it's called "Yu Huo Pi Pa Ban Mian". I believe that many of the judges present will be attracted by your name. In the end, it should be Among the top eight.”
Zhao Deguang's face became even more ugly, and he snorted coldly: "Mr. Ye is really arrogant. I want to see if what Mr. Ye said is right or wrong later!"
Zhao Deguang had tried to trouble Tian Xiaodu before, but was dismissed by Ye Chui with a plate of scrambled eggs. Although Tian Xiaodu didn't care about their bet afterwards, Zhao Deguang didn't feel grateful in his heart and just felt ashamed. He was not convinced. He was not talking at the moment, but he was not moving either. It was obvious that he wanted to stand beside Ye Chui, waiting for the result of the competition to come out, so that he could severely humiliate Ye Chui in person - he still half-hidden his face with his pipa. He has great confidence and believes that he can definitely get the top three, or even first place!
Ye Chui didn't take Zhao Deguang's insistence seriously and quietly waited for the final result of the competition to appear.
About ten minutes later, all the judges had selected their three favorite dishes and handed them over to the staff in charge. After some statistics, the votes for each dish in the spotlight were listed.
The first eight are: rice wine steamed crab, spicy crab meat, dry-roasted Pipa crab, potato crab meat stew, oil-sugar crab lumps, golden crab meat, still holding the Pipa half-covered face.
It was exactly what Ye Chui had guessed before! (A great pie-in-the-sky event, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
