"You're going to have an appetizing starter, a stunning main course, and an unforgettable dessert."
Three courses
And are you still going to give it to twelve judges
What a workload!
"Your time will be a full three hours! Every course will be scored by the judges, and your score for this round will be taken from the average of the three courses! So, don't overlook the importance of starters and desserts! Yours The appetizer will be the opening remark to show your cooking level! The main dish is the most important experience! As for the dessert after the meal, it will be the last impression you leave to the judges! Any mistakes in any link will affect your final score. Even the final ranking! So please be careful and careful!"
Annalise's eyes swept across all the contestants, and she showed the most representative mysterious smile: "Of course... Although your competition time is three hours. But everyone should have thought that if the judges want to taste every Three dishes for each contestant means that their food intake will be three times that of previous competitions. Therefore, whoever completes the three dishes first will be given priority to each judge. In other words, the later After you finish your dishes, the judges will feel more tired. When people are full, no matter how delicious they taste, they will be greatly reduced."
In an instant, the expressions of both the contestants and the audience became tense.
Finishing the appetizers, main courses and desserts for twelve people in three hours is already very stressful, and on this basis, it needs to be faster...
Lin Kesong took a breath and subconsciously looked in Jiang Qianfan's direction.
His expression was calm, like a cold cliff in the wind.
Lin Kesong's mood gradually calmed down. The prompt to finish the competition ahead of time is actually the biggest interference that the competition committee can give each player.
She had seen it in Jiang Qianfan's restaurant, and even an appetizer probably took several hours of preparation. Some things will not achieve the most original effect without putting in time and effort. A little difference in temperature will make a huge difference to these judges who have experienced countless in the food industry.
Annalise raised her hand and looked at her watch and said, "Now, fellow players, you have 40 minutes to go to the ingredients warehouse and choose the ingredients you need! Even the simplest salt must be selected carefully. Because once the game starts, entering the ingredients warehouse again will waste your cooking time!"
In Lin Kesong's impression, Jiang Qianfan's most famous signature dish is quail and foie gras. In the back kitchen of polarlight that day, Lin Kesong witnessed Jiang Qianfan and Brody working together to make the appetizer pea and shrimp jelly, the main course quail and foie gras, and the final dessert, hawthorn ice cream.
She closed her eyes and listed all the ingredients in her mind one by one.
She knew that she must not panic, no matter how tense the situation is, orderly is Jiang Qianfan's style.
Forty minutes is still tense for the players.
After everyone rushed into the food warehouse, Lin Kesong realized what it was like to be in chaos.
A contestant from Mexico overturned a row of salad dressing, prompting complaints from others.
Obviously, I have entered this food warehouse more than once, and the classification of the shelves has not even changed. Some people can't find what they want at all.
Even Sansa, nearly pushed someone else's car.
On the other hand, Nobuo Goto was just calmly sorting out what he needed without confusion.
And Victor has a clear purpose for what he needs, and occasionally frowns and looks at the instructions on the sauce bottle very seriously. He knew very well that he couldn't go back with a bunch of useful and useless things. Because until the game officially starts, it will take a lot of time to find the right one among the piles of spices.
Lin Kesong came to the fresh-keeping cabinet of the meat, carefully checked the elasticity of the pig's skin, and estimated the amount. Look for fresh, lively prawns. Roll the peas with your fingers to confirm their elasticity and freshness, and even put them in your mouth to confirm their taste. She found the quails that had been cleaned, looked for the most suitable size to put in the basket, and of course did not forget to prepare a few more. She carefully distinguished the color of the foie gras, looking for the most suitable thickness.
Originally, she was a little worried that she could not find hawthorn, but she did not expect to find a large box in the fruit shelf. She took one and put it in her mouth. It was very fresh. The sour feeling made her cheeks sour, but the aftertaste was sweet.
After confirming that everything was selected, Lin Kesong pushed the car out.
As Annalise struck the glass, all the players turned like gears.
Lin Kesong washed the pig skin and cut it into pieces, put it in an appropriate amount of water, seasoned and simmered. Due to time constraints, she couldn't cook it slowly, so she could only use a pressure cooker.
Because of the limited time, it was impossible for her to cook the stock on the spot, but she remembered very clearly what the stock used in polarlight was. She carefully taste-corrected the hot stock, then adjusted the heat and simmered the quail in it.
She started working on the side dishes and watched the quail in the stock in real time.
The treatment of hawthorn is also a big project. She had to carefully cut a small hole in the middle of the hawthorn. The consistency of the ice cream is also the part that requires a lot of skill. Because it was not frozen in the refrigerator, Lin Kesong could only imagine how it would turn into ice cream with his own experience and feeling. If the ice cream is runny, the hawthorn will flow out of it as it is coated in brown sugar. If the ice cream is too thick, judges will feel like they've bitten off a rock rather than a memorable dessert.
She has to be comprehensive, her thinking has to be so clear, and the slightest mistake can be a waste.
"Oh... God!" Some players have screwed up a certain part, holding their heads very distressed and trying to make up.
The Canadian player even cut his own finger, and Annalise had to call in paramedics to see if he could continue playing.
There were even all kinds of crackling sounds of cookware falling to the ground or being knocked over.
With so many distractions, Lin Kesong didn't hear it at all.
"She is really organized. Every step of calculation and every process is well organized. It seems that she is possessed by you." Mel said to Jiang Qianfan who was beside her.
"Yeah." Jiang Qianfan responded indifferently.
Mel smiled: "The player who cut himself just now worried you, didn't he?"
"worry about what?"
"Worry he's Croissant."
"I have nothing to worry about right now, she's enjoying the process."
When the game time had passed for an hour, Lin Kesong sent the filled hawthorn ice cream into the refrigerator for quick freezing.
At this time, some players have already finished the appetizers and are setting the plate.
This made the other contestants feel deep pressure, and some people even dropped the food that was almost ready on the ground.
The audience on the stage was infected by the tense atmosphere, and many of them clenched their fists anxiously for the players they supported.
Uncle Lin also gritted his teeth and put his hands on his knees, for fear that Kosong would make the same mistake.
"Don't worry, Ke Song is very calm." Song Yiran patted the back of his hand.
"I felt... as if I was playing the game myself..."
And Lin Xiaoxue, who was sitting next to Uncle Lin, was so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe.
She never thought of coming to watch Lin Kesong's final, but Song Yiran's remarks under the street light made her curious. What kind of attraction does her cousin Lin Kesong have to make so many people support her
At this moment, she found that her mind was affected by every action of Lin Kesong.
She could feel Lin Kesong's seriousness, even when she cracked the peas with the back of the knife, her ingenious thinking and the hard work she had put in over the past few months.
Unlike most of the busy and crazy contestants, Lin Kesong's gestures showed an indifferent calm.
She didn't have any extra movements, and even the rotation of her body seemed neat and unhurried.
Lin Xiaoxue stretched her neck, and there was an expectation in her heart. She hoped that Lin Kesong could win and get the final glory.
And many viewers who had been attracted by Victor before, many focused on Lin Kesong.
This girl may seem ordinary, but she always brings surprises. She overcame the challenges Victor had created for her to stand out, and she still took it easy after losing the last game.
Whether it is the action of slicing the butter or the skillful and smooth frying of foie gras, Lin Kesong exudes an inexplicable elegance.
She stuffed the foie gras into the quail, lightly pan-fried the quail, wrapped it in tin foil, and sent it to the oven.
Then, as if without any thought, she began to prepare some kind of sauce.
And all the audience understands that she is not without thinking, but because she has been very serious and thoughtful. At this moment, she is completely awake and fully understands what she is doing and what she will do.
At this time, some contestants had already finished the main course, and Lin Kesong began to boil the brown sugar used to wrap the hawthorn.
When Lin Kesong took out the shrimp jelly from the refrigerator, some contestants raised their hands to signal that they had finished cooking the three dishes.
At this time, only two and a half hours have passed since the game time.
"I'm so impatient." Mel shook his head slightly. "This is actually a trap set by the competition committee. Let's see which of these players are the most restless."
