Food circle plug-in emperor

Braised prawns and fried river prawns are both traditional specialties.

This is a very classic dish, with simple ingredients. However, cooking it is very challenging for a chef, especially the control of the heat, which has textbook-like rigorous requirements.

These two photos are of last year’s winning dishes, which are cooked to perfection and look delicious.

Because they are competition entries, they are all signature dishes of the participating chefs, who are experienced in cooking.

Many of the people present were invited to participate in last year’s international cooking competition, and they still have vivid memories of the cooking process of these two award-winning dishes.

During the cooking process, the chef specifically shared the authentic methods of preparing these two dishes.

Whether it is fried river shrimp or braised shrimp, the cooking temperature is very strict. This dish uses fresh small river shrimp as the main ingredient. The oil temperature reaches 10% hot, and the small river shrimp is put in. The frying time is less than seconds. An experienced chef can judge the accuracy of the heat from the crackling sound of the shrimp shell.

The fried river shrimps are put into the sauce and fried in oil for a few seconds. The dish is bright red in color, salty and sweet, with separate shells and meat, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. After eating, the standard is that there should be no marinade left in the plate, which also requires a chef to control the amount of sauce.

These two dishes are both southern cuisines, which makes them doubly difficult for Fu Yu, a northerner.

Suddenly everyone started discussing in low voices.

If he was lucky, Fu Yu might have come across these two dishes before.

On the contrary, if you want to cook a dish accurately for the first time and control the cooking robot to help you complete it, it will be more difficult.

After the photos were displayed on the big screen, the specific cooking methods of the two dishes appeared directly in the form of text.

There aren’t even any cooking videos to watch, you just have to cook according to the recipe.

In this case, even Justin was speechless.

The judging panel was truly impartial and provided this cooking opportunity completely fairly and impartially.

At this time, the host continued, "The above are the details of these two dishes. During the cooking process, the experts on the judging panel specifically said that these two dishes require very sophisticated craftsmanship and very high heat control skills from the chef. They are indeed very difficult to cook."

"Because we have to use a cooking robot to cook two dishes, the difficulty of operation has obviously increased a lot."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

As the host said, these two dishes are indeed very difficult to cook.

Justin's original annoyance was swept away at this moment, and he looked at the two dishes displayed on the big screen with great excitement.

He had cooked both of these dishes before and also participated in last year's international cooking competition. He was very familiar with the taste of the two dishes and still remembered some of the specific cooking details and techniques used at that time.

If he can successfully cook these two dishes, he will definitely be able to reverse everyone's impression of him.

Moreover, for me, this is undoubtedly an important publicity!

What better way to prove yourself than with this kind of direct and live cooking demonstration?
However, when he thought about operating the cooking robot to prepare these two dishes, he became somewhat hesitant.

He had never attempted this before, and it was his first time, so he didn't know if he could complete it successfully.

Behavior like this that was beyond his expectations made him feel somewhat unsure.

Do you want to try it?

At this moment, Justin looked at Fu Yu with a gleam in his eyes.

At this time, the host also looked at Fu Yu and asked in public: "Chef Fu Yu, are you willing to control the cooking robot to cook these two dishes?"

For a moment, everyone in the audience looked at Fu Yu!

This is a very rare opportunity to showcase your culinary prowess and prove yourself.

However, it is also a challenge.

The biggest difficulty in cooking these two dishes lies in controlling the heat and accurately observing the doneness of the ingredients.

Especially for fried river shrimps, experienced chefs can even judge the exact degree of heat by the crackling sound of the shrimp shells.

This is simply impossible for someone who is cooking this dish for the first time.

At this moment, everyone was looking at Fu Yu. They really wanted to know if Fu Yu would accept the proposal of cooking on the spot?
In fact, the judging panel also went through serious consideration and discussion. It was actually quite difficult for Fu Yu to make such a request directly on such an occasion.

However, after serious consideration, they all agreed that Fu Yu could conquer many people with his cooking skills and his ideas on the use of cooking robots. They themselves are cooks, and when their theoretical operations are questioned by others, in their opinion, a real and difficult on-site cooking is more convincing than any explanation.

Because of this, the judging panel quickly reached a consensus that providing such a live cooking opportunity was the most effective way to deal with the current controversy and the easiest way to convince everyone.

Eric participated in it. He himself did not do much research on cooking robots. However, he had the opportunity to watch the cooking of these two dishes on site last year. At that time, he felt that it was very difficult to operate, especially the requirements for controlling the heat, which was almost harsh.

And now, it is extremely difficult to cook two dishes by operating the cooking robot.

Eric sincerely believed that if it were him, he would not be able to do it.

As for Justin?

Eric actually knew Justin to some extent, and considering the other party's level, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.

But they can't, and Fu Yu may very well be the exception.

He sincerely hoped that Fu Yu could prove himself through this cooking operation. At the same time, because this was a temporary cooking test, the topic was particularly difficult.

Even if Fu Yu really failed, it would not have much impact on this election.

And for Fu Yu himself, it is also a good opportunity to show himself.

After weighing the pros and cons, Eric also agreed to the proposal.

Justin was extremely conflicted at this time. He looked at Fu Yu with a frown.

When he was full of enthusiasm, he even wanted to seize the opportunity to demonstrate.

However, when he calmed down, he became silent.

Because he also couldn't guarantee that the cooking operation would go smoothly.

In an occasion like this, this is a matter of reputation, and no one dares to act rashly.

However, he changed his mind and realized that his original purpose was to prove that Fu Yu was cheating and his level was not up to the level he boasted. If the cooking operation really failed, then Fu Yu would definitely fall behind in the ranking of this election.

As long as his ranking can surpass Fu Yu, his status in the association will naturally be higher than that of the other party.

Thinking of this, Justin suddenly calmed down. He looked at Fu Yu and watched what would happen.

Under the gaze of everyone in the audience, Fu Yu stood up and said calmly: "No problem, I am looking forward to the challenge of cooking these two dishes."

When the host heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Great, if that's the case, then we'll pass it on and make cooking arrangements right away."

At the same time, Eric led the applause.

For a moment, there was thunderous applause in the conference hall.

Although cooking has not started yet, the fact that Fu Yu dares to accept this challenge at this time has already proved a lot.

However, at this time, Justin suddenly said: "I hope I can help Chef Fu Yu."

Ellis, the head of the cooking technology research and development company, also stood up at this time: "And me, I also hope to participate in the cooking operation!"

The host looked towards the judges' area and received nods of agreement from many of the judges, so he smiled and said, "Thank you very much for your kind assistance. Once the cooking area is ready, we will arrange for you to go there together."

When the chef is in charge of cooking, he definitely needs someone to help him, whether it is processing ingredients or helping to pass the kitchen utensils.

Justin and Ellis, one is the head chef of Hong'an Cooking, and the other is the person in charge of the operation and research and development of the cooking robot. With them following Fu Yu, they can not only help but also observe Fu Yu's operations up close.

No one present had any objection.

Justin himself is the initiator of this questioning. With his on-site supervision, this cooking demonstration will be more convincing.

Ellis had just publicly targeted Justin, so his presence would surely prevent Justin from abusing his power for personal gain and causing trouble in the middle of cooking.

The presence of these two people restraining each other can actually prove the authenticity of Fu Yu's cooking skills.

Fu Yu needed to go over and explain to the staff the ingredients, kitchen utensils and other supplies he would need for cooking.

When he turned around and prepared to leave the venue, Justin and Ellis followed him.

Justin looked at Fu Yu. In front of everyone, he took a deep breath and said, "Chef Fu Yu, I am looking forward to your cooking!"

Fu Yu nodded and said nothing.

At this point, it was useless for him to say anything, all he needed to do was work hard to prove himself.

After all, the foundation is too shallow!

Fu Yu was somewhat helpless about this.

When Fu Yu and the other two followed the staff to the special cooking room, the host on the stage said, "Because the preparation time may be longer, let's continue with the speeches of other campaign staff."

Although the process was like this, the candidate standing behind him looked a little depressed when he went on stage.

It's so unlucky.

With Fu Yu's excellent performance as an example, everyone's attention had long been distracted. All they were thinking about was Fu Yu's cooking skills, and they were clearly not looking forward to the other speeches that were to follow.

However, Fu Yu was not clear about these things. He first listed all the things needed according to the ingredients and cooking methods on the recipe.

Then, while changing clothes, I quickly looked through the recipes of classic old flavors.

Fortunately, both dishes were available. He looked at the specific cooking methods and the operating precautions that needed to be taken, and memorized them all. Then he began to try to estimate how to set the cooking robot when operating it in order to better complete the cooking of the two dishes.

After changing clothes, Fu Yu, Justin, and Ellis followed the staff to the cooking room.

It was Fu Yu’s first time to cook live at the International Gourmet Association, and he was full of curiosity about this place.

Many international cooking exchange activities and conferences are held here every year, and many people come here to visit, learn and further their studies.

Even Justin came here to learn team management for special research.

In short, the International Gourmet Association is the base camp of the entire gourmet industry, where the best chefs from all over the world, the most advanced cooking utensils, and the most comprehensive ingredients and seasonings are gathered.

The staff is well trained and preparation is very quick.

While waiting for the ingredients to be purchased, today's most advanced cooking robot has been pushed over.

As the chief engineer of R&D, Ellis took the initiative to help start up and debug the machine.

After all the checks were completed accurately, it was handed over to Fu Yu so that he could familiarize himself with the specific operations and system setting procedures in advance.

Each new machine will have some differences in operation due to different degrees of use.

Fu Yu did not take it lightly and tried the operation seriously.

Ellis stood by and watched Fu Yu use the cooking robot, and couldn't help but communicate some details about the operation.

When Fu Yu gave a speech before, other people didn’t know much about cooking robots, so they only had a vague understanding of many of the related contents.

But Ellis is different. This cooking robot was developed by him and he is very familiar with all the operations.

He was very interested in Fu Yu's cooking philosophy, and he also had some ideas to discuss with Fu Yu regarding some operational choices.

Fu Yu was very happy about this, and he enthusiastically communicated with Ellis about his understanding and ideas about the operation of the cooking robot.

Ellis also talked about the philosophy behind developing this new cooking robot and his views on the system operation.

He had carefully reviewed the cooking video that Fu Yu had made when he obtained his operator qualification certificate, and he had always thought that if he had the chance to meet Fu Yu in person in the future, he would definitely have a good chat with him in person.

I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

Ellis cherished this communication opportunity very much. He not only discussed with Fu Yu some hidden settings about the cooking robot, but also talked about the new system content that the company was currently preparing to develop.

Fu Yu's rich experience in cooking operations gave Ellis a lot of inspiration.

Similarly, through this communication, Fu Yu also had many new ideas about the operation of the cooking robot. (End of this chapter)
