Chapter 1041: The most powerful one?

Peng Yue returned to the Capital Hotel with a face full of doubts. He didn't believe what Chu Yunfeng told him before and thought he was joking.

After a group of people took a taxi to the Capital Hotel, they first visited Mr. Ji. He was in the kitchen instructing everyone on how to cook. They were a little surprised to see so many people at once.

After Peng Yue introduced him one by one, Ji Lao nodded happily to everyone. When he looked at Chu Yunfeng, there was a different flavor in his eyes.

There was an obvious taste of appreciation and intimacy in those eyes, and they stayed longer than others, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

But when I think about Chu Yunfeng and Peng Yue knowing each other from the beginning, I guess Chu Yunfeng and Ji Lao have known each other for a long time.

"What, you want to cook?"

After hearing everyone's request, Mr. Ji raised his eyebrows and suddenly felt a little surprised.

But when I think about it, today is the first day of training for the chef. It seems that these little guys are very thoughtful people, and they all want to test each other's depth.

This is a good thing. It also allows you to see how good this batch of secretly cultivated seed players are.

So Ji Lao said cheerfully: "No problem, the stove over there is still empty, you can just use it, but these are the only ingredients, you can figure it out!"

It seems that Ji Lao has also added a test for everyone. After all, the ingredients used in different cuisines are slightly different. If you want to make some high-end dishes, you can't do it without the ingredients.

Being able to use existing ingredients to make exquisite dishes and high-end taste is a top chef, and it can also test the strength of a chef.

Food limited?
Everyone quickly looked towards the food area. Some people nodded, but others shook their heads.

Wu Junjie was one of the people who shook his head. As a Cantonese chef, he was naturally better at making seafood, but he found that there were very few types of seafood, and they were all ordinary ingredients.

It seems that my original idea of ​​making high-end dishes was shattered, so I will try to find other ways to make other dishes.

Another person who shook his head was Song Shaochen. He was also preparing to make a high-end dish so that everyone could see his strength and lay a good foundation for the subsequent competition for the leader.

However, after Ji Lao's words, I could only change my mind and change to a more powerful dish. I will definitely conquer everyone's taste buds later.

After everyone thanked Mr. Ji, the eight of them rushed towards the stove. As expected of the Capital Hotel, there were about a dozen free stoves. In other hotels, there would be at most two or three left, which is pretty good. .

Chu Yunfeng walked at the end. Compared with the other seven people, he was naturally not in such a hurry. Seeing that Song Shaochen had grabbed the "leading position", he felt a little enlightened in his heart.

It seems that he still cares about the identity of the leader, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited and run so fast.

This Zao was just the one at the front among the eight people, in a relative sense. The one who grabbed the second Zao was Pan Liang. Chu Yunfeng saw a look of disappointment and depression on his face. These two people The desire to express is most prominent.

After Peng Yue rushed forward a few steps, he looked back and found that Chu Yunfeng was taking his time, so he immediately thought of the information he had revealed to him before.

Combined with his attitude of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, Peng Yue had to frown. Is this guy really not in a hurry or is he pretending not to be?

If he is not anxious, he is anxious himself. Everyone is ready to show it off, but as for you, you have an indifferent attitude. My brother has saved the game for you, why can't you be more attentive?
Peng Yue suppressed his confusion, slowed down his pace, waited for Chu Yunfeng to come up, and asked in a low voice: "Are you really going to just cook those two dishes?"

This is why Peng Yue can't figure it out. Others probably only cook one dish, and they must be their specialty dishes, but Chu Yunfeng wants to cook two?
But both of these are very common home-cooked dishes. How can they be better than an exquisite dish?
This competition not only involves the exquisiteness of the dishes, but also the speed of cooking. It can’t take you several hours, right?
A calm smile appeared on Chu Yunfeng's face: "Can I still lie to you?"

Peng Yue's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. He was a little confused as to what Chu Yunfeng had planned. Could it be a trick?

A dish of kung pao chicken and a dish of fish-flavored shredded pork. These are the two dishes Chu Yunfeng is going to make. Isn’t this a joke?
Look at Song Shaochen and Pan Liang. These two people are so motivated and have already started to get started. From the selection of ingredients, you can tell that they are cooking a big dish. But what about you?
Peng Yue shook his head. He didn't think about it if he couldn't understand it. Let's wait until Chu Yunfeng finished cooking and then look at it later. Maybe he was joking?
Although your traditional Sichuan dishes take a long time to make, there are some that don't take much time, and you are good at more than just traditional Sichuan dishes.

It’s not like I don’t know how to make some exquisite specialties, so I chose these two home-cooked dishes. Although these two dishes are also very representative, who knew that Kung Pao Chicken was once a state banquet dish?
let him!
With a hint of depression, Peng Yue came to the fifth stove. The two beauties, Beibei and Ren Tingting, were still picking ingredients, so they didn't occupy the stove immediately.

The two of them didn't seem to care much about the choice of the stove. After carefully selecting the ingredients, they chose the second-to-last and third-to-last stoves, which were just next to Chu Yunfeng.

Huh~?

After the two came over, they naturally saw something strange about Chu Yunfeng. The ingredients he chose were a little too simple, right?
There are only two main ingredients, chicken legs and pork?

That's it?

Looking at the ingredients chosen by myself and others, there are at least two types of meat, and there are also more expensive ingredients, such as prawns and sea cucumbers.

Didn't he finish the selection, was it just the beginning?
But something's wrong?
Chu Yunfeng has already started to process the ingredients, and the speed is very fast. The pork has been cut and marinated. Is this obviously the main ingredient?
The meat selected here has been cut into thin strips. It is obviously impossible to use it for soup or as an auxiliary ingredient.

very strange?

However, everyone was scrambling for time, and the two of them could no longer stare at Chu Yunfeng, so they began to process their own ingredients.

However, when everyone was only halfway through cooking, they suddenly discovered that Chu Yunfeng was done?
what's the situation?
How can it be so fast?
Isn't this scientific?
He specializes in traditional Sichuan cuisine, and it takes a long time to make those exquisite dishes. Everyone has seen his cooking videos, and I have to say that those dishes are indeed amazing, but they take too long.

However, how could Chu Yunfeng be so fast today? Moreover, he was holding two plates in his hands. Did he cook two dishes?

How can this be?

"Which private room is it? I'll go there first and wait for you!"

Chu Yunfeng asked Peng Yue loudly. When Peng Yue turned around, he almost dropped the pot and spoon. Did this guy really cook these two dishes?
"Uh~! Ting Taoxuan, you, are you ready?"

Peng Yue, who looked shocked and incomprehensible, could not describe his inner feelings. He was puzzled by Chu Yunfeng's unreasonable behavior and could only wait a while to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"Okay, listen to Taoxuan, I'll go there first! You guys, hurry up!"

Proud, going one's way, contented
Chu Yunfeng's state of holding two plates made everyone have different feelings, especially Beibei and Ren Tingting, the two people closest to him, who felt the most.

"Doesn't he take it seriously at all?"

Beibei frowned and asked Ren Tingting beside her in confusion. However, Ren Tingting replied even more confusedly: "I don't know. I don't understand what he is thinking."

The two people who were closer could naturally see clearly what kind of dishes Chu Yunfeng was cooking. However, those who were farther away could not see clearly, but they could also see clearly that the dishes were not very delicate. .

So everyone felt bad in their hearts. They couldn't understand what Chu Yunfeng was doing. Was this a sign of weakness?
After Chu Yunfeng came to the private room, he was surprised to find two people already sitting there drinking tea leisurely. Aren't these Mr. Ji and Mr. Liu?

Mr. Ji was in the kitchen just now. When did Mr. Liu come?

"Oh, it's pretty fast. I even cooked two dishes at once. Wait, can you tell me?"

Elder Ji immediately spotted Chu Yunfeng who had entered the door. When he saw that he was holding the dinner plate with both hands, he was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately came to his senses.

And Mr. Liu seemed to realize it earlier, his eyes lit up and he said: "Haha, you really are not taking the usual path, put it down and show me!"

The two elders sat down directly in the private room to drink tea. They obviously wanted to join in the fun together. They probably wanted to see how good these eight people were. After all, this was a rare opportunity.

Seeing that they were very interested in the dishes he cooked, Chu Yunfeng stepped forward and put the two dishes on the table after saying hello.

When Mr. Ji saw these two dishes for the first time, he burst out laughing and almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

Mr. Liu laughed loudly, pointed at Chu Yunfeng, shook his head and said, "You little naughty boy, you are indeed a bit of a genius!"

Seeing that the second elder seemed to understand his plan, Chu Yunfeng still refused to admit it and said: "The time is too short. I am hungry. Let's make two dishes to fill my stomach first!"

Seeing Chu Yunfeng continue to act stupid, the two elders laughed so hard that they couldn't contain their joy.

He is obviously very powerful, but he still has to pretend to be stupid, and he still uses such confusing methods. It seems that Chu Yunfeng still has a bad taste.

After Chu Yunfeng sat down, he started chatting with the two elders. After waiting for a while, everyone came over one after another with dishes.

As soon as they heard that it was Mr. Liu, a chef with two skills, everyone hurriedly said hello, looking very humble.

However, the dishes brought to the table by those who came in later made the two elders' eyes shine, and they all nodded silently. It seemed that they were very optimistic about everyone's cooking skills.

Especially the dishes made by Song Shaochen, the two elders seemed to be particularly satisfied, and even discussed them in low voices, which made Song Shaochen secretly proud.

Peng Yue: Nine-turn large intestine is naturally the best of Shandong cuisine and a typical representative dish.

Wu Junjie: Baihua fish maw, the essence of Cantonese cuisine, is extremely exquisite in shape.

Beibei: Dong'an chicken is a rare delicacy in Hunan cuisine. The color looks extremely beautiful.

Pan Liang: Honey sauce fire recipe is unique among Jiangsu cuisine, and the presentation is mouth-watering.

Ren Tingting: Osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root is a unique Chinese dessert in Zhejiang cuisine. Just the scent of osmanthus makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Liang Yihai: Li Hongzhang's chowder is a famous inherited dish in Anhui cuisine. The use of sea cucumber, fish maw and squid is quite extraordinary.

Song Shaochen: Pulled scallops are a very meaningful dish in Fujian cuisine. The presentation is unique and exquisite, like a work of art.

All the dishes cooked by the seven people were placed on the table. At this time, everyone could clearly see what dishes the others were making, and began to silently judge the strength of others in their hearts.

However, when everyone saw the two dishes made by Chu Yunfeng, they almost thought that their eyes were dazzled, and then they directly wondered whether this guy had made soy sauce on purpose.

Or is it that he has no desire to win?

If Chu Yunfeng hadn't always been relatively humble, everyone would have even thought that he looked down on others and did it on purpose.

"Second elder, please give us a comment?"

The two elders were sitting here directly, which made it obvious, so Song Shaochen might as well say what everyone wanted to say directly, and he also wanted to know what the two elders thought of these dishes.

Especially for this dish I made myself, I would also like to know what kind of comments the two elders would have.

"Haha, then I will be disrespectful!" Mr. Ji did his part and agreed immediately, while Mr. Liu nodded and picked up the chopsticks directly.

The first thing the two of them tasted was Peng Yue's Nine-turn Large Intestine. In fact, Mr. Ji was very aware of Peng Yue's strength. After all, it was right under his nose. He knew very clearly what level he was at.

"Okay!" Mr. Ji gave a very simple comment.

Mr. Liu said two words: "Not bad!"

That's it?

Peng Yue started to feel depressed. What's this? Can't you just say a few more words?
If you omit the color, fragrance, etc., what kind of review is this?

The depressed Peng Yue soon felt better, because after the second elder tasted Beibei's Dong'an Chicken, his comments were exactly the same as his own, with the same "good" and "ok".

At this time, everyone else started to get a little nervous. It seems that the two old reviews are very different. The specialty dishes they make seem to be just average in their eyes?

Next was the osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root made by Ren Tingting. The two elders had the same evaluation, which made her excited eyes dim slightly at the beginning.

It was Wu Junjie's turn for Baihua Fish Maw. This time, the two elders seemed to have different comments. Ji Lao's evaluation had one more word: "Very good!"

Mr. Liu nodded and said: "Not bad!"

???

Good and very good?

OK and good?
Is this obviously an improvement?
Does this mean that the dish produced by Wu Junjie is better than the previous ones?
Wu Junjie was secretly excited, and he couldn't hide the smile on his lips, which made Song Shaochen feel a little solemn.

The next people left the same comments as before, which made people feel a little disappointed and depressed. In the end, Song Shaochen and Chu Yunfeng were left.

The two elders began to taste the scallops made by Song Shaochen, and their comments seemed to have changed again this time: "Very good!

pretty good! "

Upgraded again?

Song Shaochen is actually better than Wu Junjie's production?
At this moment, the smile on Wu Junjie's lips disappeared, and he glanced at Song Shaochen in surprise. He really didn't expect that his cooking would be praised so highly.

Then there is no suspense next. Although Chu Yunfeng cooked one more dish than everyone else, it was only two home-cooked dishes. Can such dishes surpass Song Shaochen?
It's simply impossible, okay?

This guy was clearly here to make soy sauce, and he didn't want to show off his true cooking skills today.

However, after the two elders tasted the two "home-cooked dishes" prepared by Chu Yunfeng, they left the private room, saying that they would not disturb the gathering of young people.

But the comments left made everyone widen their eyes and look at Chu Yunfeng in disbelief.
