Chapter 95 The Preliminary Competition Ends (Part 2)
Soon, everyone started to get busy. There is actually no difficulty in cooking soup, the difficulty is to remove the fishy smell and control the heat.
On the shelf in the last row of the venue, a large number of seasonings are neatly placed, many of which can be used to remove fishy smell, such as onion, ginger, garlic and rice wine.
Because before there was no cooking wine, Ruan Tang used scallion and ginger juice to remove the fishy smell, so most of these contestants continued to use Ruan Tang’s past habit of mashing the scallion and ginger into juice, and then smeared it on the duck meat to remove the fishy smell. taste. Only a few people added a small amount of rice wine to further remove the fishy smell and enhance the fragrance.
Ruan Tang noticed a girl named Cha Panpan. Although her movements were not fast, she was very thoughtful. For example, she would cut a few knives on the duck leg to make the duck more delicious. She will carefully remove the fat under the skin of the duck with a knife. Obviously, she knows that the fat is actually the most fishy part of the duck.
By the time she gets rid of the fish, the other contestants have already set up the pot and are waiting. Zha Panpan put the processed duck legs into the pot without any haste, then added sliced green onions, sliced ginger and enough salt, filled up the water, boiled it on high heat, skimmed off the foam, and then Bring to a simmer over low heat.
All the contestants use the same soup pot. There is no opportunistic method of stewing in a pressure cooker. Many people just throw the duck in it, but this girl found a clean cloth and put the lid on the pot. Wrap the edges of the duck to seal the heat in the soup pot as much as possible, so that the duck meat will be more crispy and more rotten.
Ruan Tang nodded slightly, thinking that this girl is a good seedling.
Sure enough, although it took a long time, her deodorization was the most successful. The ten off-site judges all accepted this bowl of duck soup very well, and gave her a unanimous pass.
Sixty-four failed to secure a majority of votes in favor and were thus in the danger zone. The so-called danger zone is that the three main judges personally taste their soups and decide their final decision. In fact, according to the regulations of the preliminary competition, there are still 72 people to be eliminated, so it is very possible to directly eliminate all the 64 players who entered the danger zone.
These sixty-four people were in the danger zone, and they all looked at the three judges eagerly, hoping that they would forgive them. But it cannot be ruled out that some of these players actually have certain potential, and there may be room for improvement.
Just now, the three judges watched their cooking process in person, so they still have a certain impression. Ruan Tang and Ge Lao each selected seven people to stay. , There are also some who have great aura, but unfortunately their basic skills are not ideal, and they can all be regarded as potential stocks. Ruan Tang thinks that they can be given another chance.
At this time, the remaining number of players in the arena is 122, that is to say, in this level, there are still 22 people who will be eliminated, and the situation of the 14 people who have just escaped from death is even more dangerous.
"Next, let's start the last test, which is the combination of ingredients." After Ge Lao's voice fell, many intelligent robots walked up to the contestants holding wooden boxes one by one.
"There are many kinds of ingredients in these secret boxes. I hope you can combine and match according to your own understanding. Within an hour, you can combine a special dish. Of course, taste is the basic principle." Ruan Tangdun After a pause, seeing the nervousness of the contestants in front of me, I added more fire, "There is a small reward for this last event—the top three can get the priority to choose ingredients in the next round of competition."
Hearing this reward, the eyes of all the contestants lit up. What an advantage it is to be able to choose ingredients first in the next round of competition! Maybe, just because of this small privilege, you can book a pass for the next round of competition!
But at the same time, they also feel more and more stressed.
Because there is a time limit, this link tests the contestants' understanding and control of the ingredients. To make an innovative dish within the specified time, choosing the ingredients that need to be matched has become the most important challenge.
The contestants opened the box to find strawberries, milk, tenderloin, peas, eggs, green peppers, hot peppers, onions and bitter melon. Seeing this, the expressions of many people became serious. In fact, these ingredients are not difficult to match. It is very easy to combine them to make a dish, but what is difficult is the word "special" that Ge Lao just emphasized.
It is obviously impossible to fool the past with simple dishes such as scrambled eggs with bitter gourd, shredded pork with green peppers, or strawberry milk.
Everyone scratched their heads and began to think hard about a suitable match.
However, after all, these people are the outstanding ones who stand out from tens of thousands of people, and they will definitely not be overwhelmed by difficulties like this, and they will soon start to move one after another.
Zha Panpan performed quite well again in this scene. She spread out a thin golden egg skin with egg liquid, wrapped peas, diced meat, diced onion and diced green pepper, sprinkled with black pepper, and made It has become a delicious egg roll, put three in the middle of the plate, and then squeeze the tomato sauce, the finished product is exquisite and bright in color, which makes people very appetizing.
The egg rolls were quickly served to the judges' seats, and were tasted by countless viewers in the live broadcast room and the three judges. Ruan Tang cut off a piece and put it in his mouth. The egg skin was burnt and soft, and the filling inside was delicious. Added with the sweet and sour tomato sauce, the taste was rich and unique, quite refreshing. It was a very good appetizer.
Sure enough, this egg roll also brought Zha Panpan a very high number of votes on the star network.
Except for Zha Panpan, the others were also well-versed. Someone referred to Ruan Tang’s previous recipe of stuffing meat with green peppers. He used green peppers as a container, poured egg liquid and minced meat, and steamed them in a pan to add the taste of eggs. The taste of the stewed egg is very delicate, and the sweetness of the green pepper body is absorbed by the stewed egg, coupled with the saltiness of the minced meat, the taste is also very good, and it has received a lot of support and passed the test smoothly.
Some people marinated the tenderloin and fried it into thin slices, spread it on the smooth egg custard, and then sprinkled red strawberry slices. It seemed a bit abrupt combination, but it produced a wonderful chemical change, and it won a lot of votes .
There is also a "talented" type of talent, who cleverly made dishes such as stewed strawberries with peppers and steamed pork tenderloin with milk, which are quite true to the canteen dishes of the previous life. There is no doubt that these people will be eliminated directly.
But more people are still limited to the inherent scope, and the dishes they make are ordinary, such as milkshakes made with strawberries, milk and eggs, stir-fries made with bitter gourd, eggs and sliced meat, etc. , Compared with other people who dare to innovate, their dishes seem mediocre.
No fault, but no success.
These people entered the danger zone without accident, and it was up to three judges to determine whether they would go or not.
After tasting their dishes, Ruan Tang, President Gu and Ge Lao combined their performances in the previous two rounds and eliminated the last 22 people in this round.
Even if they were eliminated, Ruan Tang and the others gave simple but targeted suggestions according to everyone's situation. Although they were very disappointed when they stopped here, many people clenched their fists to get these suggestions. He swore: "In the next game, I will definitely enter the final!"
"come on."
Saying goodbye to the eliminated contestants, the preliminary round has come to a successful conclusion here, and the remaining 100 people will enter the semi-finals. President Gu said loudly: "Congratulations to everyone who passed the test of the preliminary round. The semi-finals will be held in three days. Can go all out. As for the top three, it will be announced in the next round.”
"yes!"
There was an enthusiastic response from the crowd in the arena.
After everyone left, the three judges stayed to choose the three best performers today.
President Gu asked Ruan Tang and Ge Lao with a smile: "How is it? There are still many good seedlings in this competition, right?"
Ruan Tang nodded, "I think that girl named Cha Panpan is very nice, she has ideas, and she has the courage to try."
Zha Panpan performed very well in the three rounds of the preliminary round. President Gu and Elder Ge have a good impression of her, so they agree with Ruan Tang's words very much.
Ge Laodao: "There are also Cao Jun and Shi Mingxu. The two of them have very solid fundamentals. Although their performance in the third round was not impressive enough, they are still good seedlings."
Obviously, the top three are the three of them.
The purpose of this competition is to select and cultivate talents, and they are looking forward to seeing these players continue to grow in the next competition. What made them gratified was that among the one hundred people who advanced, although professional chefs still accounted for a large proportion, there were also twenty-three amateur players and other professional players, and there were many of them. A person full of ideas like Zha Panpan.
This means that culinary art has stepped down from the altar in the empire, and has really entered the lives of ordinary people at the grassroots level. Everyone can cook, and everyone can become a gourmet.
Although that day may be far away, they can already see the dawn of a gastronomic boom.
