Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 813 Tactics and Arrival in Kunming
The directors of Chef Fight for Hegemony left after filming a promotional video here.

At that time, Chen Nian will go to BJ, Zhou Ji and others to set off together, so they don't need to be responsible for buying air tickets, as long as the reimbursement is made.

During the last few days of the filming of The King of Chefs, Chen Nian reminded everyone in the shop about their work, after all, this time he went out to shoot and couldn't come back for a long time.

All of his apprentices also assured that Master can participate in the program with peace of mind, and they will manage the store well.

"Well, in fact, I still rest assured of you. Anyway, if you have something to do, you can call me. If you can't get through, you can send a WeChat message. I will reply when I see it."

"No problem, master. When the time comes, you will go to the Anxin competition. This time you will compete with foreigners. You have to win glory for us."

"Don't worry, this time our team is full of chefs, and some of them have attended state banquets. How could we lose?"

"Master, one is worth two! Isn't the little foreign chef at his fingertips?" Qiao Zhaomei suddenly said loudly.

"You frightened me! Why are you full of jingles, you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

Qiao Zhaomei scratched her head and smiled: "Master, didn't I just want to cheer you up? And recently, my girlfriend always rhymes when writing books, so I have to help her think about what is appropriate. "

"That's all for now. I will fly to Yanjing the day after tomorrow, and then I will go to Yunnan. If you have anything you want me to bring, remember to tell me. I bought it there and can mail it back to you."

Just after Chen Nian finished speaking, He Hai raised his hand suddenly: "Master, here is a bowl of bridge rice noodles!"

"Master, please v me Jade Dragon Snow Mountain when the time comes." Li Ting also raised his hand and said.

"Master, then I want it too!" Yu Xiaohua said impatiently after hearing what the two senior brothers said.

"what would you like?"

"I want...I want a Muchen Bead, I heard it's stored in the Worm Valley in Yunnan."

Chen Nian nodded, then looked at Xie Yu again: "What do you want?"

Xie Yu thought for a while: "Master, I am more greedy, and I want more."

"tell me the story?"

"First, I want you to be safe and well."

"Secondly, I want you to go well."

"Third, I want you to succeed immediately this time!"

Chen Nian laughed when he heard this: "Look at how good your big brother is in speaking? Just open your mouth and people will love to listen to it!"

"Brother, you are too cunning. We clearly agreed on a unified style before, why did you suddenly change your mind secretly?" He Hai said angrily.

"That's right! Senior brother, you are too bad!" Yu Xiaohua also protested loudly.

However, Chen Nian had to go out for a while this time, so he still had to say something on the official account.

Avoid some people who come here just for aging.

After coming over, he found that Chen Nian was not in the store.

In this way, two days later, Chen Nian packed his things and flew to BJ.

When they arrived, someone came to greet them, but Chen Nian needed to stay here for two days and had a meeting with Zhou Ji and others before going to Kunming, Yunnan.

"I heard that the competition this time is judged by customers. There are Chinese and foreigners, but overall there are relatively more Chinese people, so when we are in Yunnan, we mainly cook more Chinese tastes. a little.

But considering that those Chinese customers are also from all over the world, we have to cater to the tastes of most people, and at the same time, we have to come up with new ideas. It doesn’t matter if one or two people don’t like it, what we want is the majority. "

Mu Jie said that he is the one who is invited to this competition, and Zhou Ji is his senior brother, and his level is even higher than him.

So he invited his senior brother again, and Chen Nian was invited by Zhou Ji.

Years ago, Chen came to visit BJ, and the craftsmanship was recognized by them.

But the leader of their small team is Mu Jie, so Mu Jie is also in charge of various matters.

"As for the division of labor, we have talked about it before, but I thought about it later, so I made some changes.

Let me say first, if anyone has any objections, they can raise them, and then we will make adjustments, after all, we are a team. "

"What I think is that when the time comes, my senior brother and I will be responsible for the red case, Xiao Yao and Yao Guangbin will be responsible for the white case and desserts, and you will be in charge of making the soup and helping us make the Dutch. Because arranging the dishes after they are cooked is also a very tedious task, and it is also very important.

Otherwise, if the dishes are delicious, but the appearance is not good, points will be deducted from customers. "

Both Zhou Ji and Yao Guangbin said it was okay, and Chen Nian also nodded. Although Chen Nian wanted to show off when he went out this time, he was indeed a junior after all, so there was no need to worry about these things.

As long as you can be on TV, you are considered a success.

Anyway, how much money should be taken or how much money should be taken at that time.

After Mu Jie saw that everyone agreed, he continued: "What I just said was in Yunnan. We have to change it when we get to Italy. My brother and I mainly cook Chinese food, although we are not interested in Western food. There are also some dabbles, but it’s still a bit short, so I thought that Chen Nian and I will be responsible for making the main course, Xiao Yao, you will still make desserts, and senior brother, you will be in charge of making a Chinese meal suitable for foreigners.”

After finishing the itinerary in Italy, Chen Nian had no objections. The other party asked him to be in charge of making the main course together, which clearly gave him corresponding respect, and he did not just blindly serve as a little boy.

"Three masters, there is another problem. At the beginning of his competition, we have to choose dishes. There are only 30 kinds of ingredients in total, including seasonings. I think the competition in the previous seasons of Chef King was very fierce. Among them Several things must be taken, so we can also set a tactic, get the few things we must take, and adapt to the rest."

After Mu Jie finished speaking, Chen Nian also put forward his own suggestion.

"Yes, Xiao Chen is right, I also wanted to say this just now,

When cooking, we must get the salt and sugar, but they will definitely grab these, so we can let them get them first, because each team has three times to steal ingredients from the other side Opportunity, you can also give out ingredients three times to dig a hole for the opponent.

We can do this, we will wait for them to take away the necessary things, and then find a chance to grab them back, but in this way, we may fall into a passive position, because we have several things that must be taken at that time, first of all It is salt and sugar, these two are very good for compound seasoning.

Also, we can get the oil as soon as we can get it, and we can give it up if we can’t, because lard can also be used, and then there are eggs and beef, as long as we can get it, we don’t have to worry about making it, and Xiaoyao makes desserts Estimated also have to use eggs. "

Zhou Ji also nodded: "That's right. There are various ways to prepare the ingredients. If you make tofu properly, you can make it taste like meat, but if there is no seasoning, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice."

"Okay, then let's make a decision like this first, and we'll see the details later. How about we simulate and practice internally first?"

"no problem."

Then Mu Jie directly called his four apprentices.

Then pick out thirty kinds of seasonings and ingredients.

"We'll start choosing after a while, you don't have to give in, just take whatever is important, the purpose is to ensure that we get the most suitable ingredients and seasonings for ourselves, and at the same time prevent us from getting some of the most important things."

Adhering to the previous strategy, they took the method of snatching from behind, keeping salt and sugar firmly in their own hands every time.

Immediately afterwards, they began to cook with the ingredients they had snatched.

Each time they had two hours to do it, and they did a total of seven or eight rounds in two days.

Finally, they found that when cooking, if they can get beef, they can already decide on a main dish. If they can get tomatoes, starch, etc., then they can decide on a new dish.

Moreover, these kinds of ingredients are basically not picky about the taste, and they are used a lot no matter whether they are domestic or foreign.

As a result, they encountered difficulties again, and it would definitely be the best if they could get all these things through strategy.

But if the opponent also wants to play strategy, then they have to consider which things must be obtained first, which things should be taken by the other party, and which things should be taken away by the other party first, and then In the link of delivering ingredients, take the initiative to send them to yourself.

We also have to consider that in order to restrict them from taking the things they must use for cooking, it will not be good if we smash our own hands. "

"Why do I feel like a game is like a war, and all 36 tricks have to be played?"

"I also have this feeling. After all, there are too many uncontrollable factors. If we play tricks and others play basketball, maybe we will screw up ourselves."

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Let's meet with each other after we go there tomorrow to see if we can find out their personalities. Of course, the best situation is that everyone takes what they need and no one interferes with each other."

In this way, they only agreed on a general direction in the end, but after seven or eight times of cooperation, a total of [-] or [-] dishes, they also got along with each other a lot.

At least it won't happen that they haven't finished the dishes when the time is up.

The next morning they set off on a plane.

As soon as Chen Nian got on the plane, he began to close his eyes and meditate. In the competition with foreigners, Chen Nian didn't think he would lose.

You must know that you have also studied Western food specifically. Even if you are not as good as those masters who cook Western food, there will never be a situation where foreigners are not used to Chinese food and get a low score.

After more than two hours, the plane landed at Kunming Airport, and the program team sent people to greet them. After arriving at the hotel, they each took a rest.

At noon they ate separately, so they ordered a few special dishes here in the hotel, and they also commented on them by the way.

However, there is not much exposure to Yunnan cuisine, and although several other people have exposure to it, they are not in-depth, so they only comment on the taste and heat of the dishes themselves.

In the afternoon they meet with Western chefs.

In the end, the meeting didn't matter, Chen Nian recognized the other party on the spot, isn't this who?

When I was filming a Chinese kitchen in Italy, I met the other party, and pointed out the shortcomings of a certain dish of the other party.

"Sapa?"

Chen Nian asked tentatively, after all, it has been a while, and Chen Nian also kind of forgot the other party's name.

"Old years!"

When the other party heard Chen Nian call out his name, he immediately came up and gave him a warm hug.

Then Sapa applied it to Chen Nian's left and right cheeks according to his own understanding.

This actually made Chen Nian blush.

There are still so many people here, it is estimated that Mu Jie and Zhou Ji will laugh at themselves later.

"You guys know each other?" Zhou Ji came over and asked at this time.

Although they also watched Chinese kitchens at that time, they always felt that foreigners basically looked the same, and the other party had changed their hairstyles, so naturally they didn't recognize the other party for a while.

"Yeah, we know each other. I didn't expect them to come to the show." So Chen Nian briefly talked about the Chinese kitchen.

These dozen or so people remembered who the other party was.

Chen Nian then greeted Sapa's father, Abraham.

"Chen, long time no see, how are you?"

The other party greeted Chen Nian directly in Italian, and Chen Nian also replied in Italian: "Very good, thank you for your concern, are you still used to the climate here?"

"The climate here is very good, although it is a little humid, but I like it very much."

When you meet an Italian, if you don't know what to start talking about, you can definitely talk about the weather.

But after they chatted for a few words, the program group started to introduce them. Although they already knew Chen Nian, and Chen Nian also knew them, others still needed to be introduced.

After the introduction, the two sides also had a basic understanding, and then the program group introduced the rules of the game again, and everyone understood after speaking.

Since Sapa and others came to China to participate in the competition this time, they also know that most of the customers here are Chinese. Although there must be foreigners, they still need to cater for more Chinese tastes.

So after they got to know each other, they went out and scouted around.

First of all, they have to understand the eating habits of Chinese people.

Chen Nian and they continued to go back to study tactics.

But at night, Chen Nian still called his mother and An Hongdou to report that they were safe, and by the way, he talked about the weather here.

"Then you play well over there, don't be too tired, and try to rest as early as possible every day."

"Got it, Mom, I'm already an adult, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Well, I'm sure you're at ease. I don't know about my son yet, and I won't tell your second aunt about this. I'll ask them to watch it together when you broadcast it on TV."

"Mom, when did your sense of secrecy become so strong." Chen Nian said jokingly.

"Fuck you, I'm just trying to surprise them, to make the show effect that you young people said."

"Yo, it really is my mother, who knows such buzzwords as program effect, hahaha..." Chen Nian thinks his mother is too cute.
