Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 601 Yangzhou Fried Rice DIY Contest
In fact, from childhood to adulthood, what Chen Nian is most afraid of is that the teacher will test himself, because Chen Nian will do his homework every time before the exam, and will consider all the questions that the teacher may ask.

So Mr. Huo's few questions about Yangzhou Fried Rice, Chen Nian answered perfectly.

Whether it is in terms of the difficulty of production, or the appearance of the finished product, or in terms of its preciousness, there are no flaws.

Can't find any problem.

Huo Yang even found that Chen Nian had already taken the psychology of the guests into consideration.

How to make the guests have both fun and satisfaction after participating in the competition is a very important issue, and it is also the original intention of this competition.

Everyone wants to be the envy of everyone overnight.

Who doesn't like to be center stage?
Being praised?

Audience surprised?
Enjoy the light that belongs to one person alone.

Even if it's just an attempt as a cook.

After Chen Nian answered all the questions, Mr. Huo nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, just do as you said. Later, I will ask McGrady to distribute these recipes so that the players can get familiar with them in advance."

"Master, don't you need any amendments here?"

"No need, what you have done is already good enough, and if I add anything more, it can only be superfluous." Mr. Huo said very kindly.

Chen Nian felt very comfortable listening to these words, who wouldn't like such a master?
After that, Chen Nian went back to work again, and Mr. Huo called Maddie to let him deal with the recipe.

After finishing these, he resumed busying in the kitchen.

Apart from leading the overall situation, Huo Yang's job on the ship is to cook some expensive dishes for some distinguished guests.

Meanwhile, the Platinum Star cabin has three floors.

Paul was lying on the bed enjoying the massage of the blond curvy female assistant.

"How many days until we get to San Francisco?" Paul asked.

The female assistant was working hard while replying: "There are still about [-] days left. Boss, you can still enjoy the last [-] days of leisure time on this boat. You may start to be busy again after you go ashore."

"Well, in fact, I was able to negotiate a big deal when I went to China this time, but I didn't expect to be disrupted by that old guy, but now it's okay, he died on the boat, even if her daughter brought the body back, I guess There will also be turmoil in the family for a while.

If a little girl becomes the controller of the family, those people in their family will not be willing. Once the family becomes torn apart, it will give us an opportunity to take advantage of it, so this trip is not a loss, at least it can save a strong competition Opponents, in the long run, even make money. "

Paul said with satisfaction.

"However, speaking of this matter, you are too risky. You actually have to do it yourself. If someone really found out that time..."

The assistant giggled after hearing this.

"By the way, boss, I heard that there will be a Yangzhou Fried Rice Competition on the ship in two days. Do you want to participate? The top three can get another upper deck ticket of the Platinum Star."

Paul smiled and shook his head: "I won't participate, but if you want to participate, you can go and have fun. I can help you to ask for a place. When I am free, I will give you a vacation and let you Go out and have fun."

A plump hand was constantly snaking around her body, but the female assistant didn't mind at all, she was obviously used to it.

After snorting, she said, "Then I won't participate either. I'll ask Hanks later if he wants to participate."

"Okay, you can figure it out yourself."

……

At the same time, in Vivienne's room.

Since the last time, Paul has never bothered her again.

They reached some kind of agreement with each other, of course, it also has the credit for Chen Nian's rash intrusion.

It's just that after that incident, she also hated Paul in her heart, after all, she almost fell for her...

Moreover, she was very close to Anna before. Although the two families did not cooperate before, after this incident, Vivian felt that after returning to the United States this time, she could consider cooperating with the Anna family.

If they can help Anna stabilize the position of Patriarch in this chaos, then their family can also have a strong partner.

But the biggest obstacle in this is Paul.

When they were in Indonesia before, Anna and the others had already disembarked and returned to the United States ahead of schedule.

But before that they had talked about how to get revenge.

"I hope our plan can be successful." Vivian muttered as she sat at the table and looked at the sea out of the window.

……

As for Chen Nian, in addition to his daily work, he also has to worry about the Yangzhou Fried Rice Competition in a few days.

After all, this is a very good publicity for the food culture of one's own country.

Chen Nian is very happy to export Chinese food culture to the outside world through Yangzhou fried rice, even if it is only in a dream.

For this competition, Chen Nian didn't even go to learn Italian with Tonio in the past two days.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Yangzhou Fried Rice Competition.

A total of 25 people signed up for this competition, and 20 of them were guests from cabins on the first and second floors.

Although they are also wealthy people from various countries, they are not as good as the above in terms of financial resources and influence.

So an upper deck ticket is still very attractive to them.

As for the five third-floor guests, they were purely for the fun of killing time.

The venue for this competition is the cabin on the Platinum Star that is usually used for entertainment.

There is enough space here, and Mr. Huo has already arranged for 26 temporary stoves to be placed here.

Twenty-five of them are for guests and one is for aging.

Chen Nian will give a demonstration before the start of the competition, but these are just the most basic practices. It is up to the contestants to do what they do next and how to improve.

And each contestant will be assigned to a professional blue-collar chef on board as an assistant.

After all, many players are usually people who don't stick to the spring water. It is too difficult to get started directly, and the chance of overturning is high.

It would be much better to have a deputy around.

Of course, the contestants can also just talk about it and ask the chef's assistant to do what they say, or they can adopt a division of labor and cooperation.

As for the assistant chefs, all they have to do is follow the contestants' arrangements.

As Mr. Huo kept arranging personnel to make arrangements on the spot, the event continued until about 5:30 in the afternoon. The event also kicked off. First, the captain, Mr. Huo and other high-level executives of the Platinum Star delivered speeches.

After the speech, McGrady, as the host, began to go on stage and go through the process.

The vintage is already prepared below.

As McGrady called his name, Chen Nian also came to the stage to start operations.

All the ingredients have been put aside for later use. Chen Nian picked them up one by one and showed them to everyone.

Then it started to be processed. Most of the ingredients had to be cut into cubes. Chen Nian made a clean move, the sound of the kitchen knife colliding with the chopping board kept ringing out, and the eyes of the guests gradually lit up.

Some people are amazed that Chen Nian has such a good knife at such a young age, while others are secretly remembering how Chen Nian handled it.

The same goes for chefs, including those who act as second-in-commands.

Although most of them have never cooked Yangzhou fried rice, they are chefs after all, and the recipe of this Yangzhou fried rice is a much simplified version, so there is basically no need to worry that they will not be able to make it after reading it.

But how old it is is still not guaranteed.

Among these deputy chefs, Huang Su was particularly serious.

All personnel have been arranged in advance.

But just yesterday, Chen Nian made a special trip to Huang Su's side.

Huang Su naturally knew what Chen Nian was doing.

The competition will be held soon, and this is also an opportunity for chefs like them to show their faces. Needless to say, Chen Nian must have come here to cook for himself.

Although he also had such thoughts before this, but his face-saving and shameless personality made him never go to Chen Nian.

After all, I used to teach Chen Nian by myself, now I ran over to ask Chen Nian to teach me, what is that like?

And in this kind of fair competition, Chen Nian made a small stove for himself, in case others find out

But Chen Nian doesn't care about these things. Although Huang Su's character has obvious flaws, he is definitely not a bad person. On the contrary, if he has been in contact with him for a long time, he will find that Huang Su is actually quite a good person.

At least the heart is not bad.

So Chen Nian explained to Huang Su how to make Yangzhou fried rice in detail, and told him all the points that need attention.

Although Huang Su said that there is no need to use it, she still listened carefully under Chen Nian's "strong request".

Now he was standing under the stage watching Chen Nian making Yangzhou Fried Rice to show off, and he was no longer jealous in his heart.

The main reason is that this kind of jealousy is of no use to him. The more he gets in touch with Chen Nian, the more he finds that Chen Nian is completely different from what he thought.

Originally, in his impression, Chen Nian was a lucky kid.

But in fact, Chen Nian's efforts in cooking and his understanding in this area are much stronger than him, and the level is not what a person of this age should have.

If Chen Nian is actually a person in his 40s with a young face, Huang Su will believe it without hesitation.

When the gap between two people is too large, jealousy will turn into envy.

The old pot and spoon are constantly stirring in the pot.

The ingredients are flying, and it is full of appreciation.

Soon Chen Nian turned off the fire and served Yangzhou fried rice.

A plate of golden Yangzhou fried rice appeared in front of everyone.

"Okay, during the process just now, Master Chen has explained all the steps in detail, and I don't know how much you have learned, but our purpose of this competition is to participate. Of course, if there are excellent Participants, we will also give very generous rewards.

Finally, let me remind you again that you must pay attention to safety during the cooking process. Although we have excellent ship doctors and very reliable fire extinguishing devices on board, even if you are a little frightened, it is our negligence.

Now I announce the official start of this Yangzhou Fried Rice Competition! "

After McGrady passed the words impassionedly and humorously on the stage, everyone also became serious.

When registering the applicants before the start, they wrote down the direction of each customer's DIY plan. After all, DIY is made according to personal preferences and creativity, so the ingredients that everyone needs are different. .

Platinum Star needs to prepare the ingredients in advance according to the requirements of each guest. Some need to be soaked in advance, and some need to be cleaned in advance.

Provide convenience to the contestants as much as possible.

After the competition started, Chen Nian was watching everyone on the stage. He was also one of the judges for this competition.

In addition to the old age, the judges also included Mr. Huo, Master Fu, Tonio's teacher Jio, who was able to secure the first place in every competition, and the captain of the Platinum Star.

Chen Nian was inevitably a little nervous when he was sitting in the judge's seat from the player's seat for the first time.

After all, Chen Nian had never experienced this kind of identity change before.

With a piece of paper and a pen in his hand, he recorded their live performance.

I have to say that some foreign chefs still have certain limitations in cooking Chinese food.

But on the whole, there is no big problem, it just looks a little awkward.

In addition to the basic materials, the contestants also need a variety of DIY materials.

Even their judges couldn't help being amazed after seeing it.

There was a contestant from Japan who started making sushi with Yangzhou fried rice after making Yangzhou fried rice on the spot.

There was also an Italian contestant who was trying to make Yangzhou fried rice into pizza. Chen Nian inadvertently glanced at Gio, a top chef from Italy. Going there is filled with righteous indignation.

Others stir-fry the fruit into Yangzhou fried rice.

What's more, after the Yangzhou fried rice was ready, the deputy chef directly asked the assistant chef to wash the pot, and then started to cook the soup on the spot.

Such a move made Chen Nian not sure whether the other party wanted to use Yangzhou fried rice to cook soup and porridge or make it into soup and rice.

In contrast, Huang Su's side is more normal.

The partner with Master Huang was a guest from England, who happened to be one of the five third-tier guests.

He doesn't have so many fancy ideas.

During the whole process, he let Huang Su handle the ingredients.

After processing, put the ingredients into the pot in order, and he is only responsible for stir-frying.

After the Yangzhou fried rice was ready, he started frying the steak on the sidelines.

Chen Nian found that this man was quite skilled in frying steak.

After the steak is fried, it starts to be placed on the plate.

Use a special mold to buckle Yangzhou fried rice into a semicircular ball and put it on a plate.

Not far away is a steak that is not too big.

There are also some red and green leaves and juice squeezed from fruits as embellishments.

When pouring the sauce, I deliberately drew an arc so that the sauce would pass through the Yangzhou fried rice and steak that had been gathered into a semicircular sphere at the same time.

"Xiao Huang is stable this time." Seeing this scene, Chen Nian couldn't help but nodded.
