The story of a cook

Chapter 357 Cooking Competition ([-])

Come to the scene on the seventh floor.

The cold dish competition is over, and the winners are "Jiaoma waist slices" and "Sweet carrot skin", with 72 points.

The judges didn't know who the producer was, but I knew it. I told the scorekeeper the chef number of each participating chef, and the scorekeeper began to register.

Now that the booth is full of dishes, the judges are tasting the dishes made by the last group of chefs.Some of the rest of the dishes had been reduced by half, and they were all eaten by the judges during the tasting.

First of all, I said hello to the master. The master is tasting the "milk-flavored pumpkin" made by Master Tong with Lao Si, Ah Sheng, and Hung Kee's chef Wang. It seems that they also appreciate this dish.

"Master Tan, you did a good job. We have to study and study. We plan to do it again when we go back. Come and be a judge for us." Ah Sheng said to me in a Cantonese accent.

"It's a bit messy, and I don't have much experience for the first time." I said with a smile, and then asked him: "How is it? The dishes are very good."

"It's very good, especially the shrimp ball dish, which is very authentic. I have never cooked it so well." A Sheng said.

I smiled and said, "The dish of shrimp balls was made by the chef of my fourth son's restaurant. My chef is not at this level yet."

"Your fourth child?" Ah Sheng asked, "Which one?"

I pointed to the fourth child and said to him: "You have all been together for a long time, and you still don't know that he is my fourth child."

A Sheng said: "How do you know that, it turns out that Liang Che and you two are brothers."

"We are not brothers, but buddies." I said.

Someone patted me on the shoulder, and when I looked back, it was the third boss.

"Master, hello!" I said.

"It's done well, it's like that." The third boss said with a smile.

"Thank you uncle for your compliment. The main reason is that my master is here, otherwise it wouldn't be a good thing." I said.

"Don't be modest, uncle is optimistic about you."

"What's the use of being optimistic, it's more practical to raise Tan Zi's salary." Master said to the third boss.

"It must go up." The third boss said.

Hearing that the third boss said that the salary must be increased, I was very happy. The salary of 2000 yuan a month was indeed not enough.

I looked at the scoreboard, and there were still two dishes that didn't get results. One was "milk-flavored pumpkin" and the other was "fish ball tofu". These two dishes were the last to be served.

The highest score on the scoreboard is "crispy fried prawn ball" with 76 points; followed by "slightly fried crescent bone" with 3 points; No.72 is "hand-caught pork inch bone" with [-] points.

Li Shuang came over and asked the master if it was time to give marks, and the master said yes.Then Li Shuang stood in front of the booth with a microphone in hand and said, "Hello judges, please go back to the judges' seat now, and we will rate the last two dishes."

Not to mention, Li Shuang's voice is quite nice.Now she is not as nervous as she was at the beginning, she is somewhat relaxed, and her face is quite excited.She is fit for the job and has passion.

The judges all returned to their seats.

All participating chefs also sat down in the auditorium below.

Zhang Li was standing where the prizes were placed. I walked over, nodded to her, smiled, and stood beside her.

"Is it all over?" she asked softly.

"It's over," I said.

"It's pretty good." She said with a smile.

"Isn't this with your cooperation? It wouldn't be possible without you." I said.

"Cut! Hypocritical, don't forget to treat us to dinner."

"necessary."

Li Shuang was already standing in the center of the stage.

"Judges, please rate Chef No. [-]'s 'Fish Ball Tofu'." Li Shuang said in a clear voice.

At this time, the eleven judges began to raise the scoring cards in their hands, and Li Shuang began to read the scores from the right.

"Nine, eight, nine, nine, eight—"

Li Shuangshuang reported the score here, and the two scorekeepers quickly pressed the calculator. It took only one minute for her to report the score, and Zheng Jiaqi over there began to report the final score.

"Remove the highest score and remove the lowest score. Chef No. 78's 'Fish Ball Tofu' has a final score of [-] points."

"Wow—"

There was applause from the audience.

The head chef of the old shop is proud.

Followed by Master Tong's "Milk Fragrant Pumpkin", after the judges scored "Milk Fragrant Pumpkin", the final score was [-]%.

Master Tong is still amazing!

However, Master Tong belongs to those who came to participate in the exhibition competition, so the final score evaluation is not counted.In this way, the result of this innovative dish competition came out. The winner of the cold dish is Master Wang from the old shop, and his "Jiao Ma Yao Pian" won the first place.

The champion of hot dishes is the head chef of the old restaurant, "Fish Ball Tofu" with 78 points.

The runner-up is Xiao Cao, a Sichuan cuisine chef from Xindian, with 76 points for "Small Fried Crescent Bone".

The third runner-up is Wang Chunlai, the head chef of the new restaurant, with 72 points for "grabbing pork inch bones".

Li Shuang came over and asked me whether I would present the award or not, I said no, and proceeded according to the original plan.It was originally planned that I would not participate in the award presentation. My task was to accompany the judges who came over. It is already 11:30, and it is very hard for them to come to be a judge.Except for the four old customers, the master, and the boss, I found the rest, and I had to treat them to dinner.

The first award is the commemorative award, which is also the encouragement award.Awarded by the judges of four old customers, the masters who did not get the rankings all came to the stage to receive the awards, each with a standard size shirt.The masters who received the prizes stood in a row with smiles, and the three bosses took a group photo.

Then came the hot dish No.3, which was presented by the second boss.The second boss presented prizes and certificates to Wang Chunlai. Wang Chunlai was very happy, holding the prize in one hand and the certificate in the other to signal to everyone.

"Chef Wang, you won the award today, please give your acceptance speech." Li Shuang took the opportunity to say.

"Are you still giving a speech?" Wang Chunlai was taken aback and asked.

"Yes." Li Shuang said with a smile, and then she shouted to the employees in the auditorium: "Do you want to hear our chef Wang's acceptance speech?"

"Want to hear!"

"Chef Wang, tell me!"

"Chun say a few words!"

Everyone's atmosphere suddenly picked up.

"This Li Shuang is quite capable of rectification." Zhang Li said to me.

"She's good, she's so passionate, we didn't expect to give an acceptance speech, she's free play." I said.

"Well, she is crazy alone."

"Being a host makes people crazy."

Wang Chunlai was a little nervous, his face was red, he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

Li Shuang asked: "Chef Wang, are you happy today?"

"Happy." Wang Chunlai said.

"Aren't you happy?"

"happy!"

"Is it hard work?"

"Hard work!" After Wang Chun said it was wrong, he immediately said, "No hard work!"

"coax--"

The guys laughed.

"Everyone, don't laugh. Chef Wang is right. Our work is indeed very hard, but as long as we can study and feel happy like today, it will not be hard. Don't you think so?" Li Shuang said loudly.

"Correct!"

"Sister Shuang is right!"

Everyone said.

"Actually, Chef Wang expressed our thoughts today. We work hard at Linjiangxuan, but we are happy and happy every day. This is the spirit of our Linjiangxuan people. Thank you, Chef Wang. "

Li Shuang's words were very contagious, and it made my heart beat faster.

Immediately afterwards, the big boss presented the award to No.2 Xiao Cao. This time, Xiao Cao directly delivered his acceptance speech without Li Shuang asking.

"Thank you Linjiangxuan for giving me the opportunity to showcase this time. I hope we will stick to this kind of competition in the future. I really like it. I can improve my cooking skills and learn a lot. I will work hard in the future."

Xiao Cao spoke very well and got everyone's applause.

Then Mr. Huo presented awards to the champions who won hot and cold dishes.Master Wang did not give an acceptance speech, and was replaced by the head chef of the old shop.

"It's the first time I've won an award in such a big age, and it's also the first time I got a certificate. I'm very excited." The head chef of the old shop said, looking at the certificate in his hand, and then said: "Thanks to our family for hosting this competition , Let us masters have a chance to show off, I will continue to work hard and work hard in the future, thank you everyone."

Finally, the performance award was presented to Master Tong, and the master awarded it.

As the production director of the entire hotel, and also the chief judge of this competition, Master is going to speak.

"Our innovative dish cooking competition was very successful. From the initial organization and planning to everyone's preparation, and finally to today's on-site demonstration, we have done a good job. Especially seeing the dishes made by our masters today, to be honest I am very happy. As the saying goes, a mule is a horse that comes out for a walk. Everyone’s dishes are very good. They all have innovative ideas and ideas, and they all bring out their best level. This is the real challenge of our competition. Purpose."

"The dishes are delicious regardless of size. The society is developing, the times are progressing, the trains are speeding up, and our dishes also need to be updated. Through innovation, we can make our dishes cater to the tastes of our customers and let them like to eat our dishes. Only when customers like to eat our food can we retain customers and keep the business going as well.”

"The hotel business can develop only if it is good, and only when it develops can it grow. But any development and growth starts with innovation, and there is no development without innovation. Through today's competition, I found that our masters are all innovative. , I am optimistic about everyone, everyone work hard!"

Everyone applaud!

This is the end of the first innovative cuisine competition.
