Foodie chef, my three-star queen

Chapter 66 The Opening of the Contest, Group Examination 2
Looking at Yin Chuhuan's nervous expression, he forcibly refrained from saying what he wanted to refuse. Since it was his kindness, he would feel at ease if he accepted it.

"It's almost time for me to prepare. Then Qin Xing, let's go."

"Yes."

Mi Qilin followed Qin Xing out of the tent, trying to avoid people's eyes all the way, and finally came to the square.It was only for the first time that Mi Qilin saw what was going on inside.

The entire big tent is circular, except that there are guards near the backstage to keep outsiders away.The rest, near the periphery of the tent, is the spectator area, which is surrounded by a row of fences so that spectators cannot enter the arena at will.

The one with thirty stoves in the middle must be the competition field, and there is a row of tables and chairs outside the competition field, which must be the judges' seats for the group test.

In addition to these places, there are registration offices and licensing offices.The place where the cards are dealt is the place where the registered players go to play cards by name.Mi Qilin had already been signed by Yin Chuhuan, so naturally she also got the badge for her.After Qin Xing handed the sign to Mi Qilin, she took her to the place where the contestants gathered.

"Qin Xing, don't you need to wait outside?" Mi Qilin asked Qin Xing, is it not good for a cook to be accompanied by a maid?
"No. I'm also participating." Qin Xing took out a sign from his cuff and hung it around his waist.

"You know how to cook?" Mi Qilin was surprised.

"To protect the eldest lady. This is more convenient." Qin Xing did not answer directly, but gave Mi Qilin a secretive smile, which made her confused for a while.

"Oh. I'm sorry." Mi Qilin thought, with Zhui Ri as the boss, maybe Qin Xing also has some cooking skills.

After counting the players, the competition officer began to group the players into groups.

There are 190 eight people participating this time.Divided into 100 groups, except for the last group with only eight participants, the rest are in groups of ten.In the end, five people will be left in each group to participate in the second group test, which means that [-] people will win the first game.

Mi Qilin and Qin Xing were arranged in the fifth group.The first three groups went to the stage first to cook with the thirty stoves.They will be on stage in the second round.

After the players were divided into groups, the lively opening ceremony began.It's nothing more than beating gongs and drums, dragon and lion dances and other entertainment programs.After some uproar, the official game began.

The preliminary competition was to eliminate some people who were not good at cooking and came to mix up the quota. The main purpose was to test some basic skills of cooking.

Mi Qilin and Qin Xing have adjacent trademarks, so when they came on stage, the two of them were on the left and the right.A few potatoes were placed on the chopping board, and the topic of the first round of group tests was stir-fried shredded potatoes.Everyone should do a good job within the two sticks of incense.

Stir-fried potato shreds is a dish that tests basic skills. In addition to the obvious knife skills, because the ingredients are monotonous and there are not many other ingredients to assist the taste, it tests the feeding technique even more.There is also potato shreds that are easy to soften and stick to the pan after preheating, which also tests the chef's mastery of the heat.

Mi Qilin peels and washes the potatoes, cuts them into filaments of uniform thickness and length, then takes a large bowl, fills it with water, soaks the potato threads in it, this will remove the starch, and let the potato threads go into the pot The finish is crisp and refreshing.Considering that the cooking time for this dish is short, Mi Qilin added a few drops of white vinegar to make the starch go away faster.

During the soaking of shredded potatoes, Mi Qilin took out a green onion, washed it and cut it into thin shreds, found a green pepper and shredded it for color matching, then heated the frying pan and filled it with oil, and at the same time took out the shredded potatoes Strain the water.When the pot is half-cooked, pour shredded potatoes into the pot and stir fry for a few times, then add vinegar and salt to taste, and finally add shredded green onion, stir fry for a few times, then take out of the pot and put on a plate.

The whole movement is done in one go, no movement is superfluous, and there is no emptiness of pause.When Mi Qilin was cooking, several judges were sitting on the high platform, already seeing the performance of the thirty contestants in front of them.

After putting on a plate, Mi Qilin handed the potato shreds to the person who supervised him, and he offered them to the judges to taste and judge.There are five judges in this initial test, all of whom are well-known and experienced chefs in Baiqian.

After Mi Qilin handed in his dishes, he had time to watch Qin Xing's situation, and she happened to be out of the pot.Glancing at the plate, Mi Qilin almost laughed.

Except for the potato shreds, which are uniform in length, thickness, and thickness, the others are simply horrible. Thick black smoke is rising from the stove that has just been cooked, and Qin Xing is coughing while fanning the air with his hands.

There are only shredded potatoes on the plate, not to mention the green and red peppers used for color matching, not even a shredded green onion. The shredded potatoes are limp and lifeless, drooping on the plate, and some shredded potatoes are still blackened...

Exquisite knife skills and appalling culinary skills formed a sharp contrast. Mi Qilin's forehead, with this level, would be brushed off in the first round. If this is the case, it is impossible to say that he is always by his side to protect.

But when the result of the game came out, Mi Qilin was dumbfounded.Among the five people left in their group, apart from her, there was Qin Xing!

The reason is that the knife skill is amazing.This round of the competition was originally a competition of basic skills. Qin Xing's knife skills are superb, the best among all, so she was allowed to participate in the next round of competition.

The reason was so high-sounding, but Mi Qilin felt that the reason must be nonsense.Qin Xing's knife skills are probably cultivated in the life of the secret guard all the year round, so it has nothing to do with cooking skills, okay? !

All in all, Mi Qilin concluded that Qin Xing's promotion must be the result of Yin Chuhuan bribed the judges and released the water.

The first round of group trials ended, leaving a hundred contestants.After a short rest, there will be a second round of group tests with the same rules. For the retest on the second day, [-] contestants will be selected for this round of group tests.That is to say, the one hundred contestants are further divided into ten groups, and the top three will be selected in each group.

During the intermission, Mi Qilin ran to the backstage courtyard to rest.As soon as he saw Yin Chuhuan, he couldn't wait to ask him if Qin Xing's promotion was because he asked someone to release him.

"En." Yin Chuhuan did not hesitate, nodding in agreement.

"But is this really good? It takes up a quota for nothing, and someone loses an opportunity because of it." Mi Qilin thinks this is cheating.

"It doesn't matter. Even if you beat Qin Xing, you still won't be No.5 in your group? Then you will probably be eliminated in the next round. Compared with these, I am more worried about your safety." Yin Chuhuan pulled her to sit down, Made her a cup of tea himself.

"But, it's too obvious. What if people gossip?" Mi Qilin took a sip from his teacup, looked around, and made sure that Qin Xing didn't follow, so he lowered his voice and said, "Did you not see Qin Xing's craftsmanship...that's called a..."

"It's terrible?" Yin Chuhuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"I didn't say that. You said it." Mi Qilin hastily made a silent movement, the voice was so loud, if Qin Xing heard it, it would hurt his self-esteem.

"Haha. Don't worry. She will be eliminated in the next round." Yin Chuhuan took off the veil for her and pinched her cheek. "Tomorrow, the venue will be changed. The scale there will be smaller than here, and the audience will Reduction, and it is our own territory, heavily guarded, and we will not easily take advantage of others."

"Then today's competition is just to get her to protect me?" Mi Qilin frowned, thinking that this is really a big deal.

"Yes. But starting tomorrow, she will pretend to be a servant girl. Even if she can't beat her, she won't violate the rules if she follows her. You can rest assured."

"That's good."

……

After resting for half an hour, Mi Qilin and Qin Xing came to the arena again.The contestants who were eliminated just now have almost withdrawn, and those who don't want to leave just like that can stand in the auditorium behind the fence to continue watching the match.

The retest of the group test left 100 people.It is still a group of ten people, and they come to the stage to cook one by one.This time the topic is boiled beef.The ingredients and seasonings are already placed on everyone's table.

If the first competition tested knife skills, seasoning and the mastery of heat, this competition will not only test the above three points, but also test sauce mixing, spice utilization and fresh raw material processing skills.

When the start whistle sounded, Mi Qilin calmly washed and sliced ​​the beef, then mixed it with starch, salt, cooking wine and dark soy sauce, and placed it in a small plate.Then wash the rapeseed and cut into sections.Heat the pan, add a little oil, add dried chili and peppercorns and stir-fry. After the aroma overflows, take out the spices and let them cool.Then crush the peppercorns, cut the peppers into sections and set aside.

After chopping the onion, ginger, garlic and other ingredients, heat the pan and fill it with oil. After adding the ingredients, add water, and then add rapeseed and beef slices in turn.Cook over high heat until the beef is fully cooked. Put the pot into a bowl, sprinkle the crushed dried chili and peppercorns on the beef, and then pour hot oil on top of the dried chili peppers and peppercorns to let them produce fragrance.

The whole beef bowl looks bright in color, and the beef slices are uniform and neat. The aroma of onion, ginger, garlic and other ingredients penetrates into the texture of the beef, but there is no excess oil and meat smell on the surface of the bowl. , and then penetrate into the beef.Looks like a refreshing delicacy.

Mi Qilin put the boiled beef in a bowl and handed it to the supervisor, then he was free to watch Qin Xing cook.This preliminary competition has no pressure on her at all, and Qin Xing's poor cooking skills that are extremely inconsistent with her glamorous temperament have become an adjustment in Mickey Lin's competition.

At this time, Qin Xing had already cut the beef and various seasonings. I have to say that her knife skills are top-notch.The so-called hidden guards should actually do some killer work.Mi Qilin's mind was wide open, wondering if Qin Xing would also carefully cut the opponent into shape when killing people?

Looking at the pile of bright red beef on the chopping board, Mi Qilin suddenly felt that his imagination was too much, and he couldn't even look at the raw beef directly.Covering your mouth is about to vomit.

"Miss, what's the matter with you?" Seeing this, Qin Xing hurriedly wiped her hands and was about to rush over.

"No. It's okay. I thought of something else. You can concentrate on cooking and leave me alone." Mi Qilin waved her hands in a hurry. She couldn't tell Qin Xing that she couldn't help thinking about it after imagining Qin Xing's murderous appearance. vomit...

"Oh. Please wait a moment. The beef will be ready after it's put into the pot." Seeing that Mi Qilin's face looked good, Qin Xing stopped walking.Even if you are acting, you have to play a full set, and you have to do a good job of this dish.

Qin Xing raised his hand and threw the beef into the hot oil pan, and suddenly black smoke rose up, and Qin Xing's slender figure was immediately submerged in the thick black smoke.

"Cough! Cough! Miss, stay away... Cough cough..." Qin Xing's voice came from the black smoke.

"..."

Looking at the [-] stoves, no one cooks a dish with such vigor and vigor as Qin Xing.Even the judges couldn't hold back their faces. This girl obviously told people that she was waterproofed...

Finally, Qin Xing finished a bowl of boiled beef, and her glamorous little face had been blackened and whitened by the black smoke.As for the bowl of boiled beef, even she herself didn't bother to take another look.

Mi Qilin covered his face. As a qualified chef, Qin Xing was a waste of food. Thinking that the beef just now was made of high-quality materials, Mi Qilin felt very reckless.
