The gourmet judges from abroad left the lounge and began to taste the dishes on the banquet. Robert was the first one to be interested in the whole pig banquet. Han Yuyan was very excited when he saw him take the first bite of pork intestines. Then he took the second and third bites...
My mood gradually became complicated.
I saw him successfully finish a whole plate of soft pork intestines, and then picked up the next plate of burnt pork intestines.
The regular fried pork intestines do not actually use pork intestines. This is a dish that uses gluten instead of pork intestines. However, Ye Chui changed the cooking method of fried pork intestines by replacing the ingredients of this dish with pork intestines, and in line with the name of fried pork intestines, he grilled the pork intestines before cooking, which adds a layer of charcoal grilled aroma to the pork intestines, making the name of fried pork intestines worthy of its name.
This dish is Ye Chui's original creation, but the taste is still delicious, and the most important thing is that it is not greasy at all. Robert couldn't stop eating for a while. After finishing this dish, he immediately ordered the third dish of braised pork intestines, which is braised pork intestines with spicy peppers.
The light taste of the chili peppers goes well with the greasy ingredients like pig intestines, adding a refreshing and slightly spicy taste to the overly greasy ingredients. It is very appropriate. After tasting the first bite, Robert once again showed a look of wolfing down the food...
At this point Sister Han couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
Look at this fat guy wolfing down pork intestines. The scene is so beautiful that I can’t bear to watch it.
Originally, Han Yuyan was prepared to help introduce it competently, but she was completely speechless and turned her head subconsciously, and then she was stunned.
In front of Jinghua Shopping Center on one side of Jinghua Plaza, there is a huge display screen, which is usually used for advertising, but now it is used as a display board. The Spring Banquet is a banquet, but in essence it is more like a chef competition among major hotels. Each judge carries a voting device issued by the Food Association and can choose the restaurant he thinks is the best.
However, because there are more than ninety restaurants participating in the banquet competition, the official voting has always started half an hour later in previous years. After all, it takes some time to choose the restaurant of your choice.
However, only five minutes had passed since the Spring Banquet began, but the monitor showed that a restaurant had already started voting, and had received eight votes in a short period of time!
And the name of this hotel is Shenghuayuan!
"This..." Sister Han couldn't help but open her mouth wide because of surprise.
…
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Chef Jim's cooking skills to be so amazing. He got eight votes just five minutes into the competition, while the other restaurants haven't even gotten a single vote!"
In the lounge, Gao Yuesheng couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the voting records displayed on the display board. His voice was full of satisfaction and complacency. He looked at Ye Chui with a proud look in his eyes.
Ye Chui was a little worried. It was only at the beginning that he had already received eight votes... No, nine votes. In such a short period of time, he had received one more vote. However, other restaurants including Man Han Lou still had zero votes. This situation was worrying.
Ye Chui's expression was not good either, but after being slightly surprised for a moment, he understood something, so he smiled and hugged Lin Wei beside him, saying softly: "Don't worry, it's just the beginning."
"Boss Ye, you are wrong. Judging from the previous spring banquets, the gap we created at the beginning will be difficult to make up in the future." Gao Yuesheng was complacent.
Ye Chui glanced at him coldly: "So, Boss Gao, did the voting for the Spring Banquet also start within five minutes in the past?"
"What?" Gao Yuesheng was stunned. "What do you mean? Voting started so early... It only shows that the dishes of our Shenghua Garden are outstanding." He turned to Jim and said, "Master Jim, am I right?"
"Yeah..." Jim replied casually, but he knew that was certainly not the case.
Some of these foreign gourmets have been bribed by Chinatown. In fact, the independence of Chinatown cuisine from Chinese cuisine will inevitably affect the influence of Chinese cuisine, which is also something that chefs of other cuisines would like to see. Huang Yiyuan can easily win over many foreign gourmet judges participating in the Spring Banquet.
He was thinking this in his heart, but suddenly met Ye Chui's eyes. Ye Chui had a faint smile on his face, as if he was conveying something to him. What was he conveying? After all, there were only eighty-seven foreign judges, and the judges for the entire Spring Banquet were a total of five hundred people. Even if they bought off all the foreign judges in Chinatown, it would only be a small part... Jim seemed to understand what Ye Chui was going to say. He snorted softly and thought to himself.
"It's not very glorious that Uncle Huang secretly won over the judges, but it's just for insurance. I'm still very confident in my dishes. Even without Uncle Huang, I won't lose to any chef in China!"
…
Shenghuayuan's outstanding performance obviously caused a great sensation. Other restaurants did not even have a single vote, but this restaurant had already received nine votes in a blink of an eye. This made many judges who were originally planning to slowly taste the dishes at each banquet one by one become curious, and they could not help but flock to Shenghuayuan.
In fact, what the judges are most curious about now is the whole pig banquet of Manhan Building. After seeing the menu of the whole pig banquet, they can't help but be interested in how Ye Chui is going to make this kind of dish. However, this interest is just pure curiosity. They are not really prepared to taste the dishes made with pig trotters in the pig farm, pig house... Shenghuayuan's lead in votes has made them want to taste the food, so they can't wait to rush over.
I don’t know if it was because of some effect brought about by the Shenghuayuan voting, but soon, another restaurant got the votes of the judges. This restaurant was a dark horse, a restaurant that no one had paid attention to before, and its name was very down-to-earth, called "Lao Huang BBQ Restaurant."
It is said that this is a five-star hotel that has only been open for two years. It is lucky this year. The main dish of this restaurant is roast pork, which just fits the theme of this year's spring banquet. Just now, a gourmet, after tasting the roast meat of this restaurant, saw the voting here at Shenghuayuan and immediately cast his vote.
After voting, you can no longer stay in the banquet venue, so in order to avoid regrets, many people will vote after tasting all the banquets. However, Ken voted ten minutes after the beginning, and it was obvious that he was really impressed by the taste of this barbecue.
Seeing the down-to-earth name of Lao Huang BBQ Restaurant, Ye Chui in the lounge exclaimed, "Huh?" He thought to himself, "Lao Huang BBQ Restaurant? Could it be the inheritance of that famous dish?"
The best ingredients for barbecue are usually lamb and beef, and pork is seldom roasted well. However, there is a famous dish in Jinan that is roasted pork, called Huang's Barbecue, which has a history of more than 300 years.
When Ye Chui saw the name Lao Huang BBQ Restaurant, he immediately thought of Huang's BBQ.
After Lao Huang's BBQ Restaurant received one vote, another restaurant received a vote, and this time it was Jingjialou.
As the three-time champion of the Spring Banquet, although Sheng Qiuyue, the owner of Jingjialou, told Ye Chui that he would not compete for the championship this year, his strength is there after all and should not be underestimated.
Up to now, Lao Huang BBQ Restaurant has one vote, Jingjialou has one vote, and Shenghuayuan has reached thirteen votes.
Manhan Building, still no votes.
Not to mention that Lin Wei and the others on Ye Chu's side were already getting anxious and restless, Han Yuyan at the Spring Banquet venue was also a little anxious and flustered. Because of the nature of the whole pig banquet, there were many people interested in the Manhan Building banquet, but few people really dared to pick up their chopsticks to eat. Robert was already a very special one, but at this time Sister Han did not feel grateful to Robert at all: seeing this fat man wolfing down his pig intestines here, it is estimated that the other judges were disgusted and ran away...
"Miss, what is this dish?"
At this time, a gentle-sounding voice suddenly asked. The speaker was a blond man, who was Gordon Ramsay, the one who had the title of God of Cooking but was considered by Old Han to be a little inferior to Ye Chui. He was bending over and looking at a dish on the table curiously.
Han Yuyan didn't know Gordon, but she was immediately excited when someone was interested in Manhanlou's dishes. She hurriedly introduced it in English: "The name of this dish is Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce."
—The name of Beijing-style Shredded Pork with Sauce is naturally a transliteration.
"I find this dish very interesting, but how do you eat it?" Gordon asked curiously, picking up the chopsticks clumsily in his hand.
Han Yuyan quickly demonstrated his professionalism and introduced: "When eating this dish, first unfold the tofu skin next to the plate, add scallion and pork shreds according to personal taste, wrap it with tofu skin and put it into your mouth. This dish comes from the famous Yanjing Roast Duck, and the taste is outstanding."
Gordon nodded, and then started to use chopsticks to pick up the tofu skin according to Han Yuyan's instructions. However, few foreigners are good at using chopsticks. Even though he is a famous chef, he can't use chopsticks accurately as Han Yuyan said to unfold the tofu skin and wrap the green onion and pork shreds.
Gordon Ramsay is well-known for his bad temper in the food industry. After several unsuccessful attempts, he immediately gave up in anger. His originally gentle face became angry: "Oh my God, is this eating or juggling? Shit, the person who invented this dish must be mentally ill!"
Having said this he was about to turn and walk away.
But Han Yuyan was unhappy.
"Hey, how can you talk like that!" Sister Han grabbed Gordon and said, "I think you are mentally ill if you can't even pick up food." (~^~)
