Chapter 1209 This Is Impossible?

"My God, what is he doing?"

Suddenly, most of the people present began to express their curiosity involuntarily, wanting to know this seemingly "simple" question.

Five plates?

Could it be that he wanted to make five dishes?

Shouldn't be possible?

Although the competition time is said to be one hour, this time is very sufficient for the audience who paid attention to the competition at the beginning. I wonder if the organizing committee made a mistake?

When I am at home, I can cook two or three dishes in half an hour, let alone an hour. This is enough for me to cook at least five dishes in one hour.

These are all high-level chefs. Their cooking must be faster or even better than what they cook at home. Why do they need to spend an hour?

10 minutes is enough!

But after the competition started, the host began to explain the scoring criteria for this competition. It was not just about the chef making the dishes as quickly as possible.

The key is that the dishes produced by the chef are required to be of good color, aroma and taste. This is easy to understand, but the requirements for presentation are also very high.

Plate placement plays a very important role, which places high demands on the chef's aesthetics and carving skills. Carving is a time-consuming task and is not as simple as everyone thinks.

Sometimes, one hour is not enough time to carve a large piece, and there is no time for cooking, so one hour of competition time is really not much.

After everyone understood the key points of competition time, they realized that it is indeed not easy to make a well-designed dish in an hour.

So who is the best carver?

Whose presentation is the most innovative and aesthetic?
Yun Yao caught people's attention right away because after he processed the chicken immediately, he immediately started carving it while waiting for it to marinate.

Carving with both hands at the same time naturally attracted a lot of people's attention. Such a dazzling technique inspired many people outside the court to look forward to him. He might be the winner of this competition.

But when Chu Yunfeng placed five plates on the table, the largest display on the scene and placed in the middle immediately switched to it.

"Hurry up, switch over quickly, Chu Yunfeng seems to be about to use a trick!"

The director at the game site keenly grasped the hot spots on the field, and immediately ordered the people below to turn the camera to Chu Yunfeng.

This immediately made Chu Yunfeng the most handsome boy in the audience. These five neatly arranged large plates could not help but make people think a lot.

"Pfft~!"

Mu Qing stood far away from the outside without even crossing the street. She bought a bottle of water at the canteen across the street, then asked the boss for a chair, so she could comfortably watch someone acting cool on the big screen.

"I'm going to show off my skills again, but it's very interesting. I'm going to make five dishes, but I don't know if there's enough time?

Babies, your dad is about to start racing at full speed, can you feel it? "

She touched her belly gently, and the slightly bulging belly seemed to respond a little bit, making Mu Qing wonder if she was too sensitive?

The reaction from the judges' seat was also a bit unexpected. Many judges couldn't help jumping up after seeing this scene, and some even thought they were dazzled.

"What is he doing? Is he really going to make five dishes?"

"It's superfluous. Just one dish has a high score. This time I made five dishes. The quantity can't make up for the shortcomings in quality!"

"Oh, I'm still too young, too impulsive, too impulsive!"

"Don't you understand the rules of the game clearly? What's the use of doing so much?"

"It's still not stable enough. This kind of competition is not the time to show off your skills. I hope I can learn some lessons!"

Regarding Chu Yunfeng's move of placing five plates, most of the judges had a regretful attitude. Those judges who "jumped" directly from their chairs shook their heads one by one, sighed and sat down again. go down.

"What do you think?"

Mr. Zhang asked the two old friends on the side. Regarding the strength that Chu Yunfeng showed just now, combined with his current amazing actions, Mr. Zhang felt a little unsure.

Mr. Wu pondered for a moment, shook his head and replied: "It's hard to say, I have heard everyone's opinions, and they all think it is superfluous. I also feel that there is not enough time!"

This was recognized by Mr. Li, who nodded and agreed: "That's true, the five-course plate arrangement requires too much carving, and this time will definitely not be enough.

You can't just cook and carve at the same time, right? "

hiss~!

The speaker has no intention of listening, and Mr. Zhang suddenly felt something in his heart. He turned to his two old friends and said, "What if this is really the case? This time should be enough?"

"impossible!"

Mr. Wu and Mr. Li spoke in unison, immediately denying Mr. Zhang's statement, and their attitudes were very firm.

Especially Mr. Li, as the strongest carver, he immediately added: "Judging from his carving technique just now, he should not be able to carve with both hands.

Even if it were Yun Yao, even if it was carving with both hands, he could only make two dishes at most, oh no, three dishes would be good, but this still has to be done under the condition of ensuring quality. "

After judging Chu Yunfeng's knife skills again, Mr. Wu nodded and said: "That's right, the subsequent processing of the ingredients does not take long.

Even if the knife is faster, the time saved is not enough for carving, so he can only put himself into trouble, which is impossible to succeed. "

Seemingly confident in his judgment, Mr. Wu took a deep breath and emphasized again: "Unless these five plates are deliberately thrown out as a gimmick to attract everyone's attention.

But in the end, only two or three dishes were made. I think this is the most likely possibility.”

Before the last word "big" was uttered, Mr. Wu was immediately dumbfounded. He kept repeating the word "big" several times in his mouth, as if he was in disbelief at the scene in front of him?

Because Chu Yunfeng had accumulated some ready-made flowers and small ornaments through the carving just now, and he quickly placed all these things on five plates.

Real hammer!
The host started to stir up the atmosphere at the venue, and said with a hint of urgency: "Oh my God, everyone, look, we are really going to make five dishes!"
All five plates have been arranged. This is already a real deal. Are you looking forward to it?

Yes, yes, since there are five dishes, which five dishes will contestant Chu Yunfeng cook? "

The host's shout immediately aroused the atmosphere of heated discussion in the audience. They all expressed that it was amazing that the chefs in the competition had to prepare five dishes.

The other chefs only cook one dish, but he alone cooks five dishes. Isn't this too awesome?

Originally, the host of a competition like this should not make a sound, so that the chefs can cook with peace of mind, but President Xiong and the others went in the opposite direction.

If this can be affected, it means that the psychological quality is not up to standard, so they specially emphasized to the host before the game started that after the game started, they could make as much noise as they wanted.

So after seeing Chu Yunfeng's exciting scene, the host was naturally able to seize the opportunity and start shouting at the top of his lungs.
The peripheral reporters also went crazy, and they were even more excited about the hot news caused by the topical figure Chu Yunfeng, so much that their hearts beat twice as fast.

"Quick, quick, hurry up and publish a press release to discuss the suspenseful discussion of these five dishes. This will definitely arouse everyone's attention to him and generate a lot of traffic!"

"Chu Yunfeng is a good person. News like this will definitely be a hot search again. I am prosperous today and my bonus this month is stable!"

"My Ditian, you are really not an ordinary person. You are so fierce. I can't even imagine how he can cook five dishes?"

The reporters on the periphery started taking pictures at the largest big screen, especially when the camera took a close-up of the five plates, which were immediately used as the cover photo of this news.

"A miracle happened at the Chengdu cooking competition, the national treasure returned and the protagonist had a whim."

"A genius chef is born in Chengdu, and amazing things happen at the competition."

"National Treasure Returns to the Protagonist "One vs. Five", Shows His Power at the Culinary Competition".

All kinds of eye-catching headlines quickly hit the Internet, and the popularity of these news instantly increased, and it was once again on the top of the trending searches.
As a result, the news about Chu Yunfeng has firmly occupied the top ten of the hot search list, which is surprising.

The media went crazy with joy. This topic king brought everyone an extraordinary sense of satisfaction. At the same time, they also had a better understanding of Chu Yunfeng's "fierce" image.

The president Hou naturally also saw the relevant news, but he was entangled in mundane affairs, so he could only shake his head and continue to work, not worried at all whether Chu Yunfeng could complete the five dishes.

At the same time, there was a lively discussion across the Internet, with everyone expressing their opinions on whether the chefs in the competition could complete five dishes within an hour.

Judging by everyone's comments, it's almost impossible to accomplish this.

Because judging from watching competitions across the country, so far, only Chu Yunfeng has made five dishes, while all the other participants in the competition have only focused on making one dish.

So the results are self-evident, and the comments are naturally one-sided.
"It's so stupid. You have to show off your skills at this time. This is a competition for everyone to see. The judges will not favor you just because you come back with a national treasure!"

"You don't want to increase the popularity of the return of the national treasure, right? Doing this is too much of a gain, isn't it?"

"I just consulted the contestants who have participated in the competition before, and they said that an hour is not enough time to cook a dish. This is a death-defying rhythm!"

"I guess I set off a smoke bomb and put five plates on the table. When I realized I didn't have enough time, I just handed over one plate. This is not against the rules, but it's a bit disgusting!"

It's not that there are no people who support Chu Yunfeng, it's just that the power is too small, and they were drowned out as soon as they were released.
Chu Yunfeng didn't know anything about the big discussion he had caused on the Internet, but even if he knew it, he wouldn't pay attention to it because he really didn't have time.

I just didn't want to waste the ingredients. I cooked five dishes on a whim. How could I have imagined that it would attract so much attention.

But when the piece of pork belly was cooked in the pot for 15 minutes, it was taken out, and then half was cut off and thrown in to continue cooking, while the other half was cut into eight square pieces.

This move immediately made many people on the judges' bench stand up again.

"This is?"

"Are you going to make Dongpo pork?"

“What should I do with the pork belly that continues to cook?”

Chu Yunfeng's every move involved everyone's speculation, but after the pork belly knife was modified and the spices for making Dongpo pork were fried, he was immediately stoned!

What surprised everyone was that when the Dongpo pork was stewing, Chu Yunfeng placed the bones he had just removed from the chicken thighs under the pot, and then put the pork belly on top.

What is this?
Not to mention that the audience couldn't understand, even many people on the judges' bench looked shocked, their brows furrowed tightly, and they couldn't understand what Chu Yunfeng was doing.

Never heard that chicken bones are used in making Dongpo Pork?
Even putting chicken bones and meat underneath, what is the use of it?
Or is it that what he is making is not Dongpo meat at all?
So if this shape in Sichuan cuisine is not Dongpo Pork, what else could it be?

The spices and techniques are almost the same as those of making Dongpo Pork, but it just feels strange and cannot be understood.

Mr. Zhang's expression was a little more serious. After looking at it for a while, he nodded and said: "This should be made using ancient methods, which is different from the current way of making Dongpo meat.

Look, look again, I have never seen such a technique before, it must be an ancient method! "

Ancient method?

The faces of many judges were a little red. Being invited to be a judge, naturally they still have two brushes, and they are quite good at making and understanding Sichuan cuisine.

But when Chu Yunfeng showed his hand, it was a bit confusing. Fortunately, he didn't make any nonsense just now, otherwise he would be the one who was embarrassed.

The Dongpo meat still needs to be stewed for a while, and the juice can be collected immediately after the game time is approaching, but at this time all the ingredients needed for the other four dishes have been processed.

When handling these ingredients just now, Chu Yunfeng acted with both hands, handling the ingredients and carving at the same time.

At this time, Chu Yunfeng had time to pick out the fascia of the chicken breast that had just been beaten little by little. This was a hard job and had to be carefully screened.

So naturally it can no longer be engraved.

When Chu Yunfeng was processing chicken breasts just now, everyone thought he was making chicken bean curds, and the stock was naturally the soup for cooking pork belly.

Although the broth produced by simmering old hens, ducks and hams for several hours must be much inferior, it is still the best alternative in the limited time.

But there is a flaw in it, that is, chicken essence and MSG must be added, but once these two are added, the score will naturally not be too high.

Because the dishes made with chicken essence and MSG will have some impact on the score in this level of competition.

But when Chu Yunfeng added egg whites to the prepared chicken breasts and began to stir and carve them, everyone could see that all the judges on the judges' bench frowned.

And it was a frowning look, looking very distressed.

Did you guess wrong?
Not only was it suspected that he had guessed wrong, but Chu Yunfeng actually returned to the state of handling ingredients and starting carving at the same time, which didn't seem to affect him at all.

The carving technique is still so exquisite, and the speed has not slowed down at all.

Because the broth was not ready yet, Chu Yunfeng stirred the chicken breast with egg white so early that the judges were extremely surprised. Couldn't it be connected at this time?
But when Chu Yunfeng put oil in the pot, picked up the chicken breast that had been stirred, and was still carving it, even the three masters couldn't sit still and stood up from the judges' table. stand up.

"This is impossible!"

Everyone said this.
