The food is a bit cute

Chapter 24

5 minutes before playing.

Nie Shuang took a sip of water to moisten her throat, and the staff invited her to the side recording studio to prepare to enter.

The next link is the routine stress test in "Gold Medal Chef". The team members who failed in the team competition will participate in the stress test, and at least one member will be eliminated in the stress test.

Most of the content of the stress test is to give players certain challenges within a limited time, and even challenges that cause great psychological pressure on them.Most of the stress test items are desserts, or unilaterally test the control of the fire and other highly skilled things.

The most important thing about desserts is the control of the ratio. A little more or a little less will affect the final taste, and even affect whether the dessert can be formed in the end. Once it enters the oven, it is difficult to change.

The tasks in the stress test link are often not only time-sensitive, but sometimes quite heavy, and you will not be given too many opportunities to make mistakes. If you make a wrong step, you will just step out of the door.

It is conceivable that for the contestants, their pressure is really great.

"Ms. Su, your reminder card."

"This is the content of today's stress test." Before going on stage, in the backstage, a male staff member handed over to Chubby Chef Su the next procedural lines.

"Okay, thank you." Chef Su nodded and took the prompt card.

There are several teleprompters, and the sentence structure has not changed much from usual. Su Chu and the others have hosted countless seasons of programs, even if they read the teleprompters during the program, they can read quite fluently.He glanced at it briefly, then entered the venue with the other two judges and started recording.

The contestants are anxiously awaiting the verdict from the judges.

The players who won the team competition just had to watch at this time, while the players who lost the team anxiously prepared the content of the stress test.

The horror of the stress test is really not just talk.

If they still get something they don't know, it can only be a matter of life and death.

"Today's stress test may be a little different from usual. We have invited a guest as a temporary judge, and we will compete with you at the same time to give you a demonstration." Chef Su said with a smile.

The contestants breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words. It is better to have a guest demonstration than nothing.

For the previous stress test, such a change is already a big help for the players.

It's just that they are quite curious about this guest. You must know that the guests invited before the show are not light, and they are all famous people. For the contestants, just being able to meet these guests is a great surprise——

"I don't know if it's a celebrity or just like Chef Su and the others. I really hope that the one I admire... can come!"

"Didn't you listen carefully? Since you are going to be a demonstration, you must be a chef!"

"That's good to look forward to, the guests who come every time are not ordinary!"

It's just that this time the players may be a little disappointed.

"The following is our guest—Nie Shuang."

"Miss Nie has become very popular on the Internet recently, because she perfectly restored the food in the animation, which caused a great sensation. Regardless of her young age, she has already opened a restaurant of her own." Chef Su briefly introduced to the contestants Check Nie Shuang's identity.

Because the expressions on the faces of the contestants showed that most of them didn't know Nie Shuang, especially since most of them were adults, and they were busy with competitions recently and didn't have time to pay attention to things on the Internet.

And Nie Shuang's popularity is mostly concentrated in the young twenties, not to mention that she has just emerged and has not enough influence on reality.Compared with the prestige of the three professional judges, they are completely different.

When Nie Shuang came out from behind the door, the expressions of the contestants were a little dazed for a moment.

"Who is this...?" A contestant asked the people next to him in a low voice.

"I don't know, it should be quite amazing to be invited by the program team."

"The guests invited this time don't seem to be on the same level as before..."Since the program started broadcasting, except for the champions of previous seasons, it is rare to invite such rookie chefs.Unless it comes with a halo of relationship, such as Su Chu and their own students.

The contestants couldn't see Nie Shuang's identity and background clearly.

With doubts in my heart, I was naturally not as excited as the previous guests.

However, she would still applaud and smile on her face.

The three judges continued to read the following process. At this time, the staff had brought the things to be done in the stress test to the stage——

Two tall desserts were placed on the table, almost at eye level with Nie Shuang.

"The test content of this stress test is caramel custard puff tower or red velvet cake with four layers of cream interlayer. Have you seen the red velvet cake in front of me? To achieve the same or similar height as it, our The requirement is that there must be at least four layers, plus a cream interlayer. The time is 45 minutes."

"The captain of the winning team will choose for you who will make the caramel séchoux and who will make the red velvet cake."

As soon as these words came out, most of the players who participated in the stress test turned ugly. Letting the captain of the winning team choose is definitely trying to distribute the difficult tasks to the difficult players, hoping to eliminate the opponent.

In fact, neither the caramelized cefaux tower nor the four-layer red velvet cake is easy.

Dessert itself is not easier than making ordinary dishes, and in the competition, the time is less, the workload is heavy, the caramel is easy to overcook, the puff tower is very high, piled up like a pyramid, there are at least ten layers, red velvet cake baking also needs The time is only 45 minutes. Once you make a mistake in making desserts, it will be impossible to save.

It is also because of this that desserts are often arranged in the stress test session. The more you are afraid of making mistakes, the more flustered you are, and the more likely you are to make mistakes.

Moreover, it is estimated that many of the contestants may have never made puff towers and red velvet cakes.

Nie Shuang stood aside calmly, thinking about what the program crew might ask her to do.

"Miss Nie will do it for you—" Chef Su continued to glance at the prompt card to read. Suddenly, he got stuck in the middle of the read, and suddenly frowned tightly, and did not continue to read.

Nie Shuang didn't wait for the answer, and looked up at Chef Su strangely, but found that the other party's expression didn't seem too good either, as if hesitating for something.

There was a stalemate in the atmosphere for a few tenths of a second.

Mr. Lin, who was still the oldest, bumped into Chef Su lightly, gave him a strange look, and reminded him that he was at the recording site of the show, and he couldn't just stop at will.

Chef Su's brows were still tightly furrowed, and he quickly retracted them. He raised his head and smiled faintly, but the hesitation and doubt in his eyes still showed a bit——

He glanced unobtrusively at Nie Shuang.

Seeing the little girl's unaware application, he couldn't help but sighed.

I also looked at the other staff present, and there was nothing unusual about anyone, so... Was it really intentional?

The recording couldn't be stopped, so Chef Su could only bite the bullet and read on:
"Miss Nie will demonstrate the two puff pastry and red velvet cake for you within the same time."

After saying this, Chef Su felt extremely heavy.

Mr. Lin and the other judges, who are always emotional, couldn't help being taken aback when they heard Chef Su's words. This little girl finished these two desserts in 45 minutes, isn't it... too much work?
Doing a dish in 45 minutes is already a bit strenuous for a player.

And Nie Shuang has two ways.

This workload is also quite strenuous for adult chefs, and, like puff cakes, the baking time is difficult to change, and it must be baked for a long time.

So, leaving aside the preparation and final decoration time outside the oven, it is almost pitiful, which requires the chef to have very strong overall planning ability and work experience, so that every second counts during these 45 minutes, and no mistakes are made in every second , with the highest efficiency——

It is possible to complete.

The three judges felt that no one would ask for trouble. They and the program team made this request. Obviously, neither would Nie Shuang.

When hearing Su Che's words, Nie Shuang also suddenly turned her head to look at Su Che in surprise.

Apparently, the other party's apologetic and puzzled expression told her that he had just found out about this and was shocked.

His cue card was only obtained before the scene. Now that I think about it, it might have been replaced by someone else.Maybe the people inside the program group were replaced. They were the judges, and sometimes it was not easy to intervene in these matters. After all, it was a program of other TV stations, so they were the invited judges after all.

Even Nie Shuang couldn't help frowning slightly at this moment.

The program team didn't tell her that it would take 45 minutes to complete the two courses... Now that I think about it, it was clearly a language trap. Ordinary people would never think that the program team would make things difficult for her.

If it wasn't for someone deliberately tripping behind.

Nie Shuang really didn't understand why the show crew had to throw her such a difficult problem.

She has not yet challenged herself with such urgency.

To be honest, making these two desserts in 45 minutes, even for Nie Shuang, requires a high degree of concentration.

Now, she had to nod in response——
