Chapter 196: Ranking of Pig Soup Ratings...
After the scoring rankings are announced, if the judges have no objections, the participating chefs can leave.
Those who are eliminated don’t need to come in the afternoon.
The top five chefs in each group will need to go back and prepare to participate in the afternoon competition.
Mo Qingyan's first place was almost beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone thought he would be eliminated, and even if he wasn't eliminated, his ranking wouldn't be that high.
However, no one expected that Mo Qingyan would actually get first place.
The chefs from the Beautiful Country were so angry, but they couldn't do anything about Mo Qingyan.
After all, in an international competition like this, they can let other chefs target Mo Qingyan.
But it cannot affect the fairness and justice of the competition.
Those chefs who were invited to drink wine by the chefs from the beautiful country and asked to "take care" of Mo Qingyan.
During the competition, he originally wanted to target Mo Qingyan.
The best way to target her is to see what kind of dessert Mo Qingyan makes and then make the same dessert.
In this way, Mo Qingyan could be completely defeated.
So that he was eliminated.
However, what was unexpected was that Mo Qingyan's initial outrageous actions silenced the dessert chefs who wanted to target him.
Seeing what Mo Qingyan did, it didn’t look like she was making desserts at all.
Although they really wanted to "take care" of Mo Qingyan, they also had to ensure that they could advance to the competition.
Therefore, they all thought that Mo Qingyan was asking for death, so they just let him go.
But I didn’t expect that Mo Qingyan actually won first place. And it’s ranked first with full marks.
You know, even Ruth and Arus, who are international dessert masters, only scored about 40 points.
These international gourmet judges have very picky tastes.
Getting full marks from them is harder than climbing to the sky.
Mo Qingyan, however, got 5 full marks.
How could it not be surprising?
Mo Qingyan, Chen Kang and others all advanced successfully. However, four chefs from China were eliminated in this competition.
It’s not to say that these third-level state banquet chefs in China are not strong.
However, the chefs participating from other countries are too strong.
On the other hand, in China, there are second-level state banquet chefs with stronger capabilities, but they cannot participate in the competition today.
Therefore, it is normal that so many chefs from China will be eliminated given the inequality in the levels and strengths of the chefs on both sides.
However, because of this competition, the gourmet judges and chefs who had paid attention to Mo Qingyan because of Gao Moqi also noticed Mo Qingyan's existence.
After they dispersed, they couldn't wait to go back and check the live broadcast replay, wanting to see what kind of dessert Mo Qingyan had made that could have conquered the five gourmet judges.
After the show, Mo Qingyan did not leave immediately, but waited for Gao Moqi to have lunch together.
As a result, before Gao Moqi arrived, the five gourmet judges from the dessert group surrounded him.
Seeing the five gourmet judges surrounding Mo Qingyan, many of the participating chefs who were about to leave couldn't help but stop.
Want to see what's going on.
But unexpectedly, they saw a scene that shocked them.
The five gourmet judges surrounded Mo Qingyan and started asking him in unfamiliar Chinese what the name of the dessert he made was. How is it made.
That’s right, the five gourmet judges tasted out what Mo Qingyan put in her snacks.
However, I couldn't taste the way the dessert was prepared.
Because the dessert looked like it was baked in the oven. However, it is not the case.
Most importantly, the layers of crispy and fragrant taste are so charming and amazing.
Therefore, even these gourmets who have eaten in most parts of the world could not help but express their curiosity.
I want to know how that dessert is made.
Facing the questions from several gourmets, Mo Qingyan calmly replied: "The name of that dessert is Lotus Pastry. It's called a dessert, but I prefer to call it a dim sum. It's a traditional dim sum of our country."
"As for how this dessert was made, if the gourmet judges want to know, I suggest you go back and watch the live video of the competition. That way, it will be clearer than my explanation."
Coincidentally, Mo Qingyan saw Gao Moqi standing behind James. Smiled at him.
He said to the judges with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm sorry, my boyfriend and I have a date, so I'll excuse myself first."
After hearing what Mo Qingyan said and seeing him smiling behind him, James realized that Gao Moqi might be standing behind him.
So he immediately stepped aside and made room for him.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Mo Qingyan walked up to Gao Moqi and said with a smile.
"No." Gao Moqi shook his head. At this moment, he couldn't help but smile because of Mo Qingyan's word "boyfriend".
He naturally took Mo Qingyan's hand, and then said to James and others: "Sorry everyone, we'll leave first. See you in the afternoon."
After saying that, Gao Moqi took Mo Qingyan's hand and left without any hesitation in front of everyone.
This food competition also does not have a rule that judges cannot have romantic relationships with contestants.
However, during the competition, people will be more or less cautious.
However, neither Gao Moqi nor Mo Qingyan ever thought of avoiding anything.
In their opinion, they are all adults, and if they want to date, they should do it openly.
There is no need to avoid it.
Sometimes, the more you avoid something, the more suspicious people will be.
It's better for them to be so open and honest.
Anyway, now everyone knows that the two of them are together.
Even, they have met their parents.
"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Gao Moqi asked Mo Qingyan as he led her towards the parking lot.
Today, Gao Moqi did not take the program crew's car.
Instead, he drove the car that Mo Qingyan gave him.
Since Mo Qingyan gave him the car, he must drive it.
It's not for showing off.
But it was to respect Mo Qingyan, the person who gave the gift.
"Didn't you say before that there was a stall that made good pork soup? How about going to try it?"
Previously, Gao Moqi and Mo Qingyan mentioned that there was a small stall that sold pork offal soup that tasted good. Mo Qingyan kept it in mind.
"Okay, let's eat pork offal soup."
There is a camera installed in the car.
When the audience in the live broadcast room heard that the two were going on a date and were actually going to eat pork soup from a stall, they immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
"No, if we're going out on a date, why don't we go somewhere more upscale? Eating pork soup at a small stall? That doesn't go with Brother Mo and the others at all!"
"Yeah, shouldn't we go to a high-end private restaurant? Otherwise, a high-end Western restaurant will do!"
"It's not a good idea to drive a million-dollar luxury car to eat at a small roadside stall, right?"
"What's the big deal? Who says rich people can't eat at street stalls?"
"Yes, this roadside stall is economical and affordable. As long as the taste is good, there will be many people who want to eat it. Our Brother Mo and Judge Gao are not the kind of people who look down on roadside stalls."
"Yes, as long as it's delicious, it doesn't matter if it's from a high-end restaurant or a roadside stall."
…
It’s not that the audience has any discrimination against rich people. The main thing is that since Mo Qingyan appeared in the variety show, she has given people the impression of a rich second-generation.
Later, he became the nation's prodigal son, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars just to buy ingredients or cook a meal.
Not to mention the amount that came later, it was in the hundreds of millions.
Although Mo Qingyan also set up a stall, the things he sold were not what you could buy at a roadside stall.
Therefore, people really cannot associate it with those real roadside stalls.
It is called a small stall, and it really is a small stall.
The stall was set up in an alley.
That alley is much wider than the old alleys in Beijing.
The stall owners consciously set up their stalls in a row so as not to affect passers-by and bicycles.
Even the tables and chairs that were placed there were very small double tables and chairs that did not take up much space.
The people who set up the stall to sell pork soup were a white-haired old couple.
When Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi arrived, the tables and chairs in front of the stall were already full of people.
The old couple, who looked to be in their seventies, were busy in front of the food cart.
The pork offal soup in the pot was constantly bubbling and emitting a rich and tempting aroma.
Seeing Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi coming, those who were eating pork soup immediately picked up their phones excitedly.
The old couple who were busy cutting pork offal soup didn't know Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi, but when they saw so many people taking pictures of them, with cameras following behind them, they thought some big stars had come.
They were entertained very warmly.
There are many people setting up stalls here, so the smell is mixed.
Only when she got closer did Mo Qingyan smell the fragrance of the pork offal soup.
When Mo Qingyan first smelled the fragrance, she was slightly stunned.
Because he smelled the scent of several spices in this fragrance.
This made Mo Qingyan curious.
Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi both ordered a full bowl of pork offal soup and hot pot.
This pork offal soup is a traditional and authentic snack in Shangjing.
Although the method and ingredients of pork offal soup are similar.
However, the taste is quite different.
Mo Qingyan has tried the pork offal soup from two old shops.
Every family does it differently.
But basically, most of them are made with clear soup, like mutton offal soup.
What surprised Mo Qingyan was that the method of making this roadside pork soup was not clear soup.
You know, in this world, the Chinese usually add spices when cooking.
However, I will definitely not put too many, just two or three kinds at most.
Therefore, when Mo Qingyan used more than a dozen spices to make beef brisket pot, it attracted so many people's surprise.
The use of spices in China is not widespread, and is still in a state of scarcity and unfamiliarity.
However, several spices were added to this pork offal soup.
These spices are cloves, cinnamon, licorice and amomum.
It is precisely because of these spices that the unpleasant smells in pork offal can be completely removed.
Therefore, this pork offal soup tastes so fragrant and delicious, without any strange smell.
This method is very similar to a traditional snack in the world that Mo Qingyan lived in before.
That snack is braised steamed buns.
In fact, there is also braised pork in this world.
There is one in Shangjing.
But this braised pork is not the same as that braised pork.
The braised pork here is more like oden.
A little bit of everything is put in it, and there are too many MSG seasonings.
Mo Qingyan had eaten it once before and thought it was the braised pork from her previous world.
Unexpectedly, it was completely different.
On the contrary, this pork offal soup has the flavor of braised pork.
After seeing Mo Qingyan taste the pork offal soup, Gao Moqi asked, "How does it taste?"
“It tastes good.”
Mo Qingyan praised: "The pork offal is very fresh, all freshly slaughtered that day. It is handled very cleanly. The spices added include licorice, cloves, cinnamon and amomum. The proportions of these four spices are well controlled. The dark soy sauce is also aged, and the ingredients are very solid. Although there is still a little taste, I can give this bowl of pork offal soup 85 points."
85 points is already considered a high score for Mo Qingyan.
If the smell of pork offal can be removed more cleanly, the stewing time can be extended, and more spices are added, it will be authentic braised pork.
Gao Moqi said: "Jamps and I ate this pork soup once, and I was amazed. After all, there are very few people who can use several major spices to make delicious food. It's very bold. And there are even fewer who can make it delicious."
When James came to Beijing, Gao Moqi took him to eat a lot of delicious food.
However, what impressed James the most was the pork soup.
After all, it is very rare to be able to eat such delicious pork soup on the street.
What's more, the method of making this pork offal soup is so bold.
"But later, I ate the beef brisket pot you made. Compared with your beef brisket pot, this pork offal soup is nothing."
At that time, after eating the beef brisket pot made by Mo Qingyan, Gao Moqi realized that there were people who were even more daring.
This pork offal soup uses only four kinds of spices.
Mo Qingyan’s beef brisket pot contains more than a dozen spices.
He is able to control the proportions of more than a dozen spices so delicately and exquisitely. And there should be no conflict between each spice.
This difficulty is extremely great.
Except for Mo Qingyan, no one dared to do this.
Therefore, when Gao Moqi ate the beef brisket pot, he was instantly conquered by Mo Qingyan's bold cooking skills.
Later, after eating the beef offal made by Mo Qingyan, I was even more surprised.
"It's already acceptable." Mo Qingyan approved of the pork offal soup.
In this way, the pork offal soup here has become a new check-in spot for Mo Qingyan's fans.
When Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi were eating pork offal soup, Mo Qingyan's lotus crisps made the headlines.
The lotus pastry is so beautiful and its ingredients and cooking methods are different from other desserts. It is simply a dessert of descending latitude.
The most important thing is that this dessert is full of Chinese style.
At first glance, you can tell that it is a dessert from their China.
Among all the foreign desserts, the most beautiful ones are of course the various fancy cakes.
However, those so-called cakes are basically dressed up with various decorations.
However, the lotus pastry made by Mo Qingyan really had no decorations at all, and in fact, it was inedible except for the white porcelain plate. Even the decorative lotus leaves are edible desserts.
If people hadn't seen that Mo Qingyan made the lotus pastry step by step, no one would have believed that the lotus pastry was an edible dessert.
Because that beauty is so great.
From the lotus flowers to the lotus leaves, from the layers of thin petals of the lotus flowers to the distinct leaf roots on the lotus leaves.
They have already reached the point where they are indistinguishable from the real thing.
Even with an ultra-high-definition camera, no flaws could be seen when shooting close up.
When people see it, their scalps tingle and they can't help but feel unbelievable.
Therefore, when the photo of lotus pastry was posted on the Internet, many people simply did not believe that it was a man-made dessert.
Not to mention foreigners, even Chinese people thought the lotus cakes made by Mo Qingyan were just models and hype when they saw them.
Until I saw the complete live video of Mo Qingyan making lotus crisps.
What is even more surprising is that such exquisite snacks are not baked in an oven.
Instead, it is fried directly.
Moreover, while frying, you can clearly see the scene of "lotus blooming".
The people watching were stunned.
Therefore, Mo Qingyan's lotus pastry became the focus of attention during the morning competition.
Chen Kang and other Chinese state banquet chefs watched the live broadcast replay of the Lotus Pastry.
I finally understand why Mo Qingyan got full marks.
Even if this dessert doesn't taste good, considering its appearance, it deserves at least 8 points, even if it can't get 9 points.
This also made many foreign chefs take notice of Mo Qingyan, China's newly promoted third-level state banquet chef.
The game starts at three o'clock in the afternoon.
However, participating chefs need to arrive at the competition site one hour in advance to report.
In the morning, there were more than 200 participating chefs.
By the afternoon, it was half gone.
The rules for the afternoon game are the same as those for the morning game.
Likewise, more than one hundred participating chefs were randomly assigned.
There are 10 chefs in a group.
Only the top five chefs in each group will advance to tomorrow's competition.
In the morning, because there were so many people, Mo Qingyan did not meet the Chinese chef in the same group.
But, this afternoon's game was just so unfortunate.
He and Lang Yueming were assigned to the same group.
When Lang Yueming saw that he was assigned to the same group as Mo Qingyan, he said to Mo Qingyan, "Mo Qingyan, don't feel any burden. Although we are both chefs from China, we are also competitors. Don't show mercy."
"Show mercy? You think too much." Mo Qingyan would not show mercy just because Lang Yueming and she were both Chinese chefs.
It's not like there are only two of them in this group competing.
Even if there were only two of them competing, Mo Qingyan would definitely not show mercy just because she knew Lang Yueming.
To him, a game is a game.
This time, the competition theme for Mo Qingyan's group is beef.
Yes, it’s just plain beef.
Seeing that Mo Qingyan was actually assigned to the beef group, Gao Moqi couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
Isn’t this an easy question?
Everyone who knows Mo Qingyan knows that Mo Qingyan is quite good at making a cow.
Of course, the beef is also divided into different parts.
The taste and texture of different parts are also different.
But Mo Qingyan has a versatile way to cook beef!
There is nothing that a braised food recipe can’t solve.
Coincidentally, there were two chefs from the Beautiful Country assigned to Mo Qingyan's group this time.
When they saw that they were actually assigned to the same group as Mo Qingyan, and the competition hadn't even started yet, they immediately made a shooting gesture to Mo Qingyan.
After making this gesture, he gave Mo Qingyan an extremely arrogant smile.
The provocation was not concealed at all.
After seeing this, Lang Yueming said to Mo Qingyan, "Mo Qingyan, they are provoking you! Don't you have any reaction?"
Mo Qingyan sneered, "Then I will try my best to send them away as early as possible?"
Although this competition is still divided into groups of ten, there are still only five people who can enter the next round.
If Mo Qingyan relies on herself alone, she can only occupy one spot at most.
There are still four places left, and the two chefs from the beautiful country will have a lot of room for maneuver.
Unless the other chefs in the same group are all very bad.
However, Mo Qingyan noticed that there were several internationally renowned chefs in their group.
As long as those international chefs perform normally, and Mo Qingyan also performs normally. It is very likely that the two chefs from the beautiful country will be eliminated.
The two chefs from the Beautiful Country had the same idea as Mo Qingyan, which is why they provoked Mo Qingyan so blatantly.
Because they also think that as long as they perform normally. Plus those international chefs. Then eliminating Mo Qingyan would naturally be an easy task.
As for whether Lang Yueming can break out from the encirclement of a group of international chefs and Mo Qingyan, it depends on his own cooking skills.
This time the organizers seem to be preparing to cause trouble.
The main ingredients provided are not uniformly provided in ten portions.
Instead, different cuts of beef are offered.
Some cuts of beef are good for steak, while others are not.
As soon as they entered the kitchen, the two chefs from the Beautiful Country began to wink at the other chefs.
Some chefs responded to them, while others pretended not to see anything.
This scene was seen by Mo Qingyan and Lang Yueming.
Lang Yueming couldn't help but move closer to Mo Qingyan and whispered, "Mo Qingyan, be careful. I saw those two chefs from the Beautiful Country flirting with other chefs. They might be planning to team up to get you."
Mo Qingyan narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly: "I saw it too, don't worry, I can handle it."
I originally thought that this was an open competition after all, and there were cameras in the kitchen.
Even if those two chefs from the Beautiful Country were planning to target Mo Qingyan, they wouldn't go too far.
Unexpectedly, after the competition started, one of them deliberately stopped Mo Qingyan from choosing beef.
The method used is also simple and crude.
