Reborn 1990's Fat Wife Should Be Self-Reliant

Chapter 134 Longjing Dictyophora
On the day of the competition, Zhou Huilan got up early.

Although there is no comparison in cooking skills, each family prepares a dish and takes it with them, which is an invisible competition and cannot be underestimated.

The dish of Longjing Bamboo Fungus uses minced fish. According to the analysis in Xu’s recipe, the best fish to make minced fish is white fish.

The place in Anning is to the north, not facing the sea or lake, so Zhang Yongqiang entrusted someone to get a few Taihu Lake whitefish from the south, and keep them in the back kitchen. It was useless last time, but it just happened to be used today.

Although it's already the first month of the month, it's not yet the beginning of spring. When I get up early in the morning, the cold wind is blowing, and I still can't help shrinking my neck.

Zhou Huilan almost trotted all the way to the back kitchen, but someone came earlier than her.

Taking off the big padded jacket outside, Zhou Huilan was about to open the door when she heard Zhang Yongqiang's voice.

"Work hard, the two of us will have a bright future together!"

She was stunned for a moment, and pushed open the door. Zhang Shaokun and Zhang Yongqiang by the pool looked at her at the same time.

Zhang Yongqiang was the first to come back to his senses. He broke the silence with a laugh, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Master Zhou, isn't it cold outside this early in the morning?"

Zhou Huilan hung the coat on the hook at the door, "It's okay, today is not a game, and it's not like you have to get up so early every day."

"That's right, today's round is over, and the next round is the final. You all need to work harder to spread the reputation of our Donghua Restaurant!" Zhang Yongqiang smiled politely and left the back kitchen.

Zhou Huilan didn't think too much, seeing that Zhang Shaokun had already processed most of the fish, she didn't reach out to pick it up, she just turned around and soaked the ham and scallops that she had prepared yesterday, and prepared to make soup.

How to make this dish, the two have replayed it many times before, so there is not much to say.

After Zhang Shaokun finished processing the fish, he cut the fish meat and began to make minced fish. Although he was working under Zhou Huilan, but at his age, he was able to do all kinds of basic skills, and the minced fish was also made delicately.

Zhou Huilan couldn't get her hands in, so after handling the bamboo fungus, she began to help beat the egg whites.

Squeeze minced fish into the shape of Longjing fish, use peas as eyes, put it on a plate, sprinkle with some hairy vegetables and minced ham, steam it in the tray, take it out and put it in a sea bowl.

Because it was going to be sent to the TV station, the broth was not used directly, and all was packed into an insulated lunch box and then put into an insulated box.

He started to go to the TV station.

There were only six families left to participate in the competition, but because family members were not allowed to watch this recording, there were not many people at the scene.

After Zhang Yongqiang drove Zhou Huilan and Zhang Shaokun to the TV station, they were also blocked outside. As soon as they entered the studio, they met the gorgeous woman in high heels last time, Xu Li.

Today's Xu Li is wearing a chef's outfit with Manxianglou printed on it, and is following behind the chef Xu Maocheng of Manxianglou. Although her face is still very brightly painted, her plain clothes make her feel much more refreshed.

Zhou Huilan and the others also have such clothes, but they haven't changed since they came late.

Zhang Shaokun sent the dishes to the film crew, but Xu Li suddenly walked up to Zhou Huilan with her hips on her hips.

"You Donghua Restaurant, who is the master chef?"

Zhou Huilan froze for a moment, and didn't intend to talk to her.

But Xu Li was full of interest, "Look at you, you don't seem to be capable. Didn't your master teach you the word "improper position?"

Zhou Huilan still ignored her, it was a bit hot in the studio, she tore off her scarf.

"Hey, I'm talking to you! Could it be that you're a mute?" Xu Li, who hadn't received a response, was finally annoyed.

Zhou Huilan sideways avoided her hand, "Am I going to respond when you talk to me? Which law stipulates this?"

"You!" Xu Li angrily.

Just when Zhang Shaokun came back from the filming crew, Zhou Huilan took off her coat and put it under her armpits. Without looking at Xu Li again, she went to the dressing room with Zhang Shaokun.

After changing clothes and returning to the studio, Zhou Huilan got the content of today's competition.

Every family participating in the competition today has prepared a dish, and the content of today’s competition is also very simple. During the one-hour open tasting time, six chefs and assistants will write out the cooking process of five dishes and the side dishes and main dishes. What are you using? Guess the different types and steps have different scores. In the end, the three companies with the highest scores can advance to the final.

Although the content of this kind of competition seems simple, it is extremely unfriendly to young chefs like Zhou Huilan.

Looking at other chefs, most of them are middle-aged and elderly people with gray hair. Zhou Huilan and Zhang Shaokun looked at each other, obviously feeling a lot of pressure.

But no matter what, the content of the competition is determined by the organizers, so they can only bite the bullet.

Following the host's opening remarks, each contestant got a piece of paper and pen, and six prepared dishes were also put out.

In addition to their Longjing bamboo fungus, Manxianglou makes braised shark's fin, Niuji Restaurant makes Taibai duck, and there are three other restaurants that make flowers stuffed with radish and meat, and bamboo shrimp with vermicelli makes silver shrimp. There is also a well-regulated Maoxuewang.

Looking at the names of the dishes, it is easy to guess some of them, but Zhou Huilan knew that the comparison must not be the main ingredients, but the auxiliary ingredients that cannot be seen.

"Master Zhou, how about I write down everything I know and you can add more?" Zhang Shaokun could see that Zhou Huilan was in trouble, but he didn't stay out of it and watch the excitement.

Zhou Huilan nodded quickly, and while helping Zhang Shaokun hold the notebook, she followed the flow of people to taste one dish after another.

The organizer's competition project, if you look closely, there are some difficulties in it. After all, although some dishes are not bad, different chefs have different habits. It is not easy to guess these.

An hour passed quickly, and Zhou Huilan handed over the notebook, and the chefs returned to their positions. The judges separated each dish written by each person, concealed their names, and sent them to each chef who cooked the dishes. .

"The detailed cooking process is the secret recipe that you have studied for many years. In order to protect everyone's privacy, this score is for each person. We score on the spot, which is absolutely fair and just."

Everyone has never seen this kind of operation, but they agree very much.

Zhou Huilan received the five sheets of paper, as well as a scoring standard form.

She browsed through it first, she could guess from the name, and she could tell from the presentation of the plate. Everyone wrote about it, and the process of steaming minced fish and dipping it in broth was also written.

It can be seen that they are all skilled chefs, but when it comes to the step of mixing minced fish, only one part says to add beaten egg whites, another part says to add egg whites, and the remaining three parts just write Add minced fish, fried wine and lard.

Zhou Huilan carefully compared the score sheet and scored each list.

He raised his head, only to find that Xu Maocheng was staring at him intently.
