The rule that meat is poisonous to vegetarians after exercise has lasted for eighty years, causing many recipes to be lost in the long river of time. Some recipes are only left with a name. Due to the regionality of food, it is difficult to restore the original appearance of the dish just from the name. Qin Yiyue's golden leg and braised round fish is one of this category. The golden leg refers to Jinhua ham. If it were not for Ye Chui's suggestion, Qin Yiyue would probably not be able to understand the mystery of this name even if he had great ability.
It is very common to add regional terms to the names of some dishes. So after Zhao Deguang couldn't figure out what the ingredient fish bones were, he misinterpreted the fish bones in braised fish bones, saying that it referred to a kind of tofu produced in Yugu Village. He then spent a lot of time on this "braised tofu". Perhaps this "braised tofu" itself is an extremely delicious dish, but it obviously has nothing to do with the topic of the competition.
Most importantly, Zhao Deguang's behavior obviously completely annoyed Mr. Han.
"I've eaten all kinds of Chinese delicacies, not to mention all kinds of tofu. What about the fish bone tofu from Fishbone Village? How could I not know if there is such a thing in the world? Do you think I'm a pig?"
Old Han's roar made the entire hotel lobby silent, and Zhao Deguang was so frightened that he trembled all over. Old Han was famous for being a gourmet, and he was also famous for his bad temper. He always had a sour face on weekdays, and if you were not careful, he would point at your nose and scold you. What made him most angry was cheating in the food competition.
At this moment, Zhao Deguang's behavior of using tofu to fool the fish bones definitely angered Han Lao...
Old Han had no interest in eating the dish Zhao Deguang made. He waved at the stunned Zhao Deguang and said, "Let's go!"
Zhao Deguang immediately became anxious. Old Han waved his hand and sent him away without even tasting his food. If this matter got out, where would he save his reputation in the future
At this time, Zhao Deguang also took a risk and said with courage: "Mr. Han, this... this fish bone really refers to tofu... I hope you can taste my dishes, I believe you will be satisfied... The fish bone does not refer to tofu, but is it really a fish bone? How can fish bones be eaten..."
"Do I need you to teach me?" Old Han seemed to become even angrier when he heard what Zhao Deguang said, but his tone calmed down instead. "Chinese food culture is extensive and profound, and it is at the forefront of the world in terms of food. The choice of ingredients is even more varied, so why can't fish bones be eaten?"
Hearing what Mr. Han said, Ye Chui nodded secretly. Mr. Han obviously didn't know that the fish bones in the braised fish bones referred to real fish bones, but this didn't stop him from using his rich experience to determine what this ingredient was.
Ye Chui then followed up on what Han Lao said and said, "The fish bones in braised fish bones refer to the bones of fish."
Zhao Deguang was terrified. When he heard Ye Chui's words, he immediately glared at Ye Chui angrily. He was anxious to think that as a five-star chef, he still needed this young man to interfere. He said coldly: "Mr. Ye, then tell me how to eat fish bones. Are we the same as cats?"
"Fish bones are rich in calcium and trace elements, which are beneficial to the human body and harmless. After special cooking, they are crispy, soft and smooth. They only need some simple softening treatment. For example, they can be heated in a microwave to make them crispy or ground into powder or made into balls. They can all become a delicious ingredient." Ye Chui said with a faint smile, "Master Zhao, if you don't believe me, you can try to make it later. I think it will be at least much more delicious than the braised fish bones you pretended to have with braised tofu."
After hearing what Ye Chui said, many people around couldn't help but think to themselves that fish bones could be eaten like this, and they must try it later.
Zhao Deguang was speechless. But he still didn't want to give up. If the four chefs could get the top three, they could get a Level 6 chef certificate. Becoming a Level 6 chef would be of great help to his career. Success was in sight. How could he just give up
At this time, Zhao Deguang was also overwhelmed by the situation. Since Old Han had already judged that his dishes were not up to standard and he had no desire to eat them, it would be useless for him to say anything more. However, he did not back down. Zhao Deguang's face was covered with sweat. His brand new chef's uniform was already wet with sweat, and his shiny forehead was shining because of the sweat.
A light suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he looked at Lian Hong who was standing on the side with some anxiety.
Lian Hong was originally a judge for this competition. He accepted a lot of benefits from me yesterday. I can't just stand by and watch, right
Lian Hong had been standing by the side without saying anything since the beginning, as if he wanted to stay out of the matter completely. Even when Old Han was roaring, he was thinking mockingly in his heart: I promised to take care of Zhao Deguang, but I didn't expect Zhao Deguang to even misinterpret the topic of the competition. I really don't know how he made it to the final round with such a level. It's not that I can't help him, but he is just too bad...
As a result, he didn't expect that Zhao Deguang would dare to seek his help.
How could this person be so ignorant of his own life
"Teacher Lian..." Zhao Deguang said with a hint of pleading.
"Why are you calling me? Do you think we are very familiar with each other?!" Lian Hong shouted hurriedly, cursing Zhao Deguang as an idiot in his heart. At this point in the situation, Zhao Deguang's defeat was certain, was he going to drag himself down as well
Ye Chui looked at Lian Hong and Zhao Deguang with great interest. Looking at their expressions, he knew that his previous guess was correct. The reason why Zhao Deguang was so confident was because he had already arranged all the relationships.
As shrewd as Mr. Han was, he also saw something. He snorted coldly, "Why, Lian Hong, do you know this Master Zhao?"
"Here… "
Lian Hong was so anxious that his face was covered with sweat. If people knew that he had accepted bribes as a judge in a chef competition of this level, he would be finished. He immediately denied it.
But at this time Ye Chui suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, I seemed to see you, Teacher Lian, and Master Zhao together yesterday..."
"What!?" Lian Hong was shocked. He was now at a loss of his composure. If it were any other day, he would not be so easily fooled by Ye Chui's words. However, since the beginning of the game, Ye Chui's performance had established a mysterious and omniscient impression in his mind. He said that he saw himself and Zhao Deguang together, so it was very likely that he really saw himself and Zhao Deguang entering the Blue Mountain Hotel yesterday...
Lian Hong said hastily, "I just had a meal with him... He even tried to bribe me. But I rejected it!"
Lian Hong's words immediately caused an uproar around him.
Mr. Han's face turned extremely cold, and he looked at Lian Hong and asked, "You rejected it in a stern manner?"
"No...that's right..." Lian Hong said hurriedly.
Today's judge was originally Lian Hong. Zhao Deguang had just looked at Lian Hong for help. Lian Hong said that he had refused Zhao Deguang's bribe. This obviously did not convince Han Lao. Han Lao snorted coldly: "The competition has strict regulations. Judges who accept bribes will be severely punished and will be deprived of their gourmet qualifications, Lian Hong. I will investigate this matter after the competition is over!"
“Mr. Han, I…” Lian Hong’s face turned pale and he almost knelt down in front of Mr. Han. In his heart, he cursed Zhao Deguang’s ancestors for eighteen generations.
But what almost made him faint was that Ye Chui suddenly looked like he had thought of something and said to Lian Hong: "Oh, I just suddenly remembered that the two people I saw yesterday didn't seem to be you. It seems that I made a mistake..."
Lian Hong: “…”
Old Han's gaze has shifted back to Zhao Deguang.
Zhao Deguang was trembling all over, and his chef's uniform was soaked with sweat. He regretted it very much now. If he had just admitted defeat and left, nothing would have happened. Now that the bribery was exposed, and it was caught by Old Han, his life might be over...
"Mr. Han..." Zhao Deguang smiled twitchingly, "I..."
"A scum like you is worthy of being a chef!?" Old Han's voice was indescribably cold. "I will contact the Gourmet Association to revoke your chef license. You dare to lie in front of me? Do you think I'm so easy to fool? Get out of here and don't let me see you again!"
"Mr. Han..." Zhao Deguang tried to make a final effort.
As a result, the security guards at the chef competition rushed out immediately. They pulled Zhao Deguang up and dragged him out without saying anything. Zhao Deguang tried to struggle, but how could he win against the two strong security guards
The audience and the host were a little surprised when they saw this scene, but they also felt relieved.
That’s right, it makes me feel relieved.
In this era, chefs are regarded as idols, but among the chefs in this competition, Zhao Deguang is definitely the least popular one. He doesn’t look good, and his cooking skills are not very good. But he loves to be in the limelight. When he was giving a speech, the host had to grab the microphone from him...
Moreover, he has a thin body, a conservative appearance and a bald head, which makes his image very unpleasant. Now seeing him being expelled from the field for taking bribes makes many people who follow the game feel very relieved.
"This kind of chef is a scum!" Old Han snorted coldly and glared at Lian Hong fiercely. Needless to say, Lian Hong will not have a good time in the future...
Then Old Han thought of something and turned to look at Ye Chui: "Boy, this Zhao Deguang seems to have some conflicts with you, right? Why do I feel like I'm being used as a gun by you?"
"Why do you say that, Mr. Han? This is all Zhao Deguang's own fault. You are so smart, how could I use you as a gun? You are overthinking." Ye Chui said hurriedly with a smile.
“…” Old Han rolled his eyes. Did he think he was a child who was so easy to coax
But for the sake of the delicious food, I argued with Ye Chui.
Han Yuyan also hugged Old Han's arm and said with a smile: "This Zhao Deguang is particularly annoying. Before the chef competition, he specially found Xiaoyu's home cooking and took advantage of the fact that the senior brother had been cooking for the whole afternoon to compete with the senior brother in advance. If he lost, he would withdraw from the competition. It's so hateful. But in the end, he was still sent away by the master with a dish of scrambled eggs."
"Oh, scrambled eggs?" Old Han suddenly became interested.
Han Yuyan became more interested: "Yes, it's just ordinary scrambled eggs, but the one made by the master is super delicious. Grandpa, I have been practicing making scrambled eggs recently. Everyone says it's delicious. I will make it for you later, okay?"
"Okay... okay." Old Han replied - Ye Chui clearly saw his eyes twitch involuntarily, it seems that he also knows his granddaughter's cooking skills very well...
After the incident involving Zhao Deguang at the competition, everyone's attention was once again focused on the last contestant, Tian Xiaodu.
In the final, three will be chosen from four to determine the rankings. Now Zhao Deguang is completely eliminated, which means that it is a foregone conclusion that Tian Xiaodu, Dong Qian and Qin Yiyue will advance to level six chefs in this competition, but it is not known how they will rank.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Tian Xiaodu finally finished his braised fish belly roll. After wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel, Tian Xiaodu brought his dish to Mr. Han.
"Mr. Han, Master..." After Tian Xiaodu put down the plate, a hint of hesitation suddenly appeared on his fat face.
"What's wrong?" Old Han looked at Tian Xiaodu and said. This was not the first time he had seen this fat man and he had a good impression of him.
"This dish actually..." Tian Xiaodu said with some embarrassment. Tian Xiaodu had seen everything that happened when Qin Yiyue was being tasted just now, and he really admired Qin Yiyue in his heart. His own personality was actually somewhat similar to Qin Yiyue's in some aspects, and he didn't want his cooking skills to be mixed with any water, so after much hesitation, he decided to admit to Mr. Han that this dish was entirely thanks to Ye Chui.
"Don't think too much." Ye Chui saw what Tian Xiaodu was thinking and interrupted him, "Old Han already knows that luck is also a part of the game. You don't have to think that you have taken advantage of anything."
Old Han also nodded in agreement: "Being a chef is about sincerity. It's hard to make excellent food without a sincere heart. You and Qin Yiyue can both admit that you took advantage in advance. This quality is completely different from people like Zhao Deguang, so you don't have to worry about anything else. Moreover, you, Qin Yiyue, and Dong Qian all seem to have received guidance from Ye Chui. Under this premise, there is nothing unfair in your competition."
Tian Xiaodu nodded repeatedly, but thought in his heart that the instructions given by the master to Dong Qian and Qin Yiyue were just a few words, and he taught them step by step, which was not fair at all... But when he saw Ye Chu winking at him, he didn't say anything more.
He pushed his braised fish belly roll in front of Mr. Han and said, "Mr. Han, please taste this dish." (~^~)
