Chapter 198: Result of the Processing James...
James has already tasted nine dishes.
Although several of the dishes tasted very good.
However, I didn't get full marks from him.
"So, Mo is still the last one?"
Gao Moqi once said that a good dish is worth waiting for.
So, James, looking forward to the last delicacy.
However, this long wait and high expectations can easily lead to a counterproductive effect if the taste of the dishes does not meet expectations.
In other words, this dish was originally worth 80 points.
However, due to overly high expectations, which led to extreme disappointment, the final score might be only 70 points.
Finally, the tenth dish was served under James's eager and expectant gaze.
There was about half an hour between the ninth and tenth courses.
The time difference is actually not that big if we exclude the time when Mo Qingyan was deliberately disturbed by the beautiful chef.
When the staff opened Mo Qingyan's tomato beef stew, the entire judges' room was instantly filled with fragrance.
“It smells so good!”
"This dish is more delicious than the previous ones."
Gao Moqi was also in the judges' room. When he saw the last casserole brought in and smelled its rich aroma, he knew that this last dish must have been made by Mo Qingyan.
After all, James had been chattering for quite a while.
I have never had a dish that scored a perfect score.
James sat in the middle of the five judges.
Therefore, when the staff served the food, they placed it directly in front of him.
When he smelled the rich aroma, James couldn't wait to pick up the spoon beside him.
When the staff divided the beef filled with red soup, James tasted it immediately.
The thick tomato soup is wrapped with evenly sized beef chunks, with bright and attractive colors.
"Is this beef stew with tomatoes?" When he smelled the scent just now, James was not sure.
Now seeing the thick tomato soup, he was completely sure.
Several gourmet judges nearby were also very surprised when they saw the tomato beef on the plate.
"Beef stewed with tomatoes? This is the first time I've seen this method."
"Beef and onions or potatoes are the most common combination. Beef and tomatoes? Is this the Chinese way of eating?"
"China does have this way of eating. After all, Chinese steaks are also served with tomato sauce. However, potatoes are also added when stewing beef most of the time."
In China, scrambled eggs with tomatoes is very common.
Beef stew with tomatoes, actually few people do this.
The reason is simple. Tomatoes are quite acidic. If the sauce is not cooked well, the taste will not be very good when paired with beef.
So, if you want to make this dish well, the tomato sauce is the key.
In foreign countries, when eating steak, it is generally not paired with tomato sauce. Instead, it is paired with black pepper sauce or matsutake sauce.
The Chinese way of eating it is to serve it with tomato sauce.
The reason why Mo Qingyan chose tomatoes to stew beef is because the acidity of tomatoes can neutralize the rough taste of beef rump.
James picked up a piece of beef covered in sauce with a fork and looked at it carefully.
Surprised, "Is this... beef rump?"
James recognized it at a glance. The beef was actually rump beef.
The other judges also saw that it was beef rump.
They were all very surprised.
"Why would you use beef rump to cook?"
You know, any professional chef knows that beef rump is the inferior grade of beef after beef neck.
The beef in this part is very unpalatable.
No matter how you handle it, it's still hard and tough.
Therefore, when cooking, chefs will never use beef rump.
They were in the judges' room and had no idea what was happening in the kitchen.
Therefore, I was so surprised when I saw Mo Qingyan actually using beef rump to cook.
"Did he do this on purpose?" James felt that Mo Qingyan must have deliberately chosen the beef rump. "How confident is he in his cooking skills?"
James really wronged Mo Qingyan.
If given a choice, Mo Qingyan would not be willing to choose this beef rump.
It was because the chef from the beautiful country deliberately took away all the good meat.
Only the rump of beef was left for him. He had no other choice.
However, James and the others felt that Mo Qingyan did it on purpose.
Not only James thought so, but the other judges thought so too.
"This chef actually dared to use beef rump to cook. It makes me very curious about what this dish tastes like."
"It seems that this chef is really confident in his cooking skills."
"Then let's try what this dish tastes like."
After that, James and others started to taste it.
Gao Moqi, who was sitting diagonally opposite them, frowned immediately when he heard them say that Mo Qingyan chose beef rump to cook.
Because he knew Mo Qingyan very well.
Mo Qingyan is a person who likes perfection when cooking. He will never deliberately give up good ingredients just to show off his skills. Using bad ingredients to cook.
What's more, it's in such an important competition.
Therefore, something unexpected must have happened to Mo Qingyan, which led to Mo Qingyan having to choose beef rump.
Thinking of this, Gao Moqi's eyes darkened.
It seems that something happened to Mo Qingyan during the competition just now.
To be honest, James was a little disappointed when he saw that Mo Qingyan actually chose beef rump to cook.
After all, he had been looking forward to having a perfect meal like the one he had in the morning.
The taste and texture of dishes made from beef rump, a meat with rough and dense muscles, will definitely not be very good.
This is also the inherent impression that these gourmets have of the ingredients.
However, when they took their first bite of beef, they found that they were wrong.
As soon as you take a bite, the rich tomato sauce hits you instantly.
The taste is fresh, natural, sweet and sour.
The greasy feeling from eating too much meat just now was instantly washed away.
But, there isn't much tomato sauce.
So, the wrapped pieces of beef were soon revealed.
I originally thought that without the sauce, the remaining beef chunks would be hard and difficult to chew.
Unexpectedly, when I bit down hard, the beef actually burst with juice.
That’s right, it’s bursting with juice.
The fragrant, somewhat hot sauce actually gushed out directly from the beef.
Judges such as James were caught off guard and their faces turned red from the burns.
But he was reluctant to spit out the meat in his mouth, so he could only open his mouth as wide as he could, exhaling hot air with a "hahahaha" sound, while fanning himself with his hands, trying to drive away the burning heat in his mouth.
However, this posture lasted less than three seconds before they could no longer bear the aroma of the meat in their mouths and began to chew vigorously.
The beef keeps oozing with sauce as you chew it.
It does not have the stereotypical hard and woody texture that we imagined. Instead, it tastes tender, smooth and soft.
As they continued chewing, the unique aroma of beef, along with the fragrant juice, spread in their mouths.
This beef is like a sponge.
It actually absorbed all the sauce.
The flavor of the sauce is not just tomato, but also a light lemon scent.
The fresh scent of lemon does not conflict with the taste of tomatoes.
On the contrary, the fusion is quite perfect. The sweet, sour and refreshing taste makes the beef full of meaty aroma while also being very appetizing.
The more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes, and the more you eat, the more you want to eat.
"This...how can it be so tender?" After eating the first piece of beef, James widened his eyes in disbelief.
What I ate turned out to be beef rump.
But I saw it clearly just now, and I could tell from the rough muscles that it was beef rump.
However, how come this beef rump is so tender and smooth?
Not hard or woody at all.
It was so delicious, it was unbelievable.
The other judges also couldn't believe that what they were eating was actually beef rump.
The beef rump is tender, smooth and juicy.
James forked up a piece of beef and examined it again carefully.
He found that the muscle fibers of the beef seemed to be completely broken.
At the same time, the rough protein in the meat did not seem to be broken down.
Therefore, this beef is even more tender and smooth than the best steak.
This beef has been beaten. The beef should be beaten evenly so that the muscle fibers of the beef will break.
Plus the citric acid in the lemon juice breaks down the protein in the beef.
Then, add egg white to lock in the moisture in the beef.
Therefore, the beef is so tender and smooth.
Add to that, the tomato sauce that is sweet and sour and relieves greasiness.
This dish is so delicious it's unbelievable.
James couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a clever way to handle beef, what great cooking skills."
The way the beef was processed was not only noticed by James, but also tasted it. The other gourmet judges also saw and tasted the same thing.
“This chef is amazing.”
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen this method of processing beef."
"I never thought that one day I would find rump steak more delicious than steak. This is all thanks to the chef's amazing cooking skills."
"I give this dish full marks. It has to be full marks. This is the best and most surprising beef I have ever eaten."
The five judges gave a full score of 10.
After seeing the comments from the gourmet judges, the Chinese audience, who had been sitting on tenterhooks, couldn't help but cheer.
"Full marks, full marks again, that's great."
"Great, I knew Mo Qingyan wouldn't lose."
"Of course, full marks are always the treatment our brother Mo deserves, okay?"
"Just by looking at the complicated way our brother Mo handles the ingredients, you know that this dish will definitely not be bad."
"That chef from the Beautiful Country thought that he could win over our Brother Mo by playing dirty tricks? Is he dreaming?"
"In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are nothing but clouds."
…
In the waiting room for the participating chefs, Mo Qingyan was the last one to return.
But when he returned, the waiting room was unusually quiet.
No one spoke.
However, Mo Qingyan still noticed the hostile looks that the chefs from the Beautiful Country cast at him.
Those pairs of blue and green eyes seemed to be spitting fire when they looked at him.
When the chefs from other countries saw him looking over there, they inexplicably turned their gazes away from him.
Mo Qingyan was confused by this scene.
Mo Qingyan walked to the empty seat next to Lang Yueming and sat down.
He asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why is the atmosphere so weird?"
Lang Yueming said with a smile: "You don't know, before you came, we had a big fight with those chefs from the Beautiful Country. We scolded them to death. Especially Zhou Ningren, I didn't expect that this guy is usually so venomous, but when he scolds people, he can almost make them vomit blood. His fighting ability is off the charts."
Hearing Lang Yueming praising him, Zhou Ningren, who was sitting in the front, crossed his arms and raised his chin proudly.
"Why are you arguing?" Mo Qingyan asked curiously.
Lang Yueming said: "I'm standing up for you! Those hooligans... those guys have treated you like this. If we don't stand up, won't it make us Chinese people look easy to be bullied?"
Zhou Ningren snorted coldly, "This is our Chinese territory. They dare to play those conspiracies and tricks on our Chinese territory and target our Chinese chefs. That means they don't take all of us Chinese people seriously. Since they are looking for trouble with you first, don't blame us for fighting back."
Although Zhou Ningren is a proud person, his values are still very positive when it comes to major issues of right and wrong.
Chen Kang nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, we know our limits. We just asked about their families and their health issues. The staff all thought we were quite polite."
Mo Qingyan didn't expect that they were actually trying to help her. She felt warm in her heart and thanked them: "Thank you."
Zhou Ningren said arrogantly: "I'm not doing this for you. I just can't stand those guys."
Chen Kang also said: "That's right, we are not helping you on purpose. After all, you and we both represent China. If they target you, they are targeting us Chinese. We certainly can't just sit back and watch."
"That's right." Lang Yueming also agreed.
After hearing what they said, Mo Qingyan couldn't help but smile, "Yes, I understand. But I still want to thank you."
Zhou Ningren glanced at Mo Qingyan and said, "From your looks, are you confident that you can win the second match? Let me tell you something! If you lose to those two beautiful Chinese, I will not acknowledge you as a third-level state banquet chef of our country."
Mo Qingyan patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, I can't guarantee that I will be the first. But, it is enough to eliminate them."
During the competition, Mo Qingyan completely ignored the two beautiful country chefs.
After all, people have done this to him.
If he still doesn't care like this, then he can really become a bastard.
While Mo Qingyan was stewing the beef, she had already seen the cooking process of the two people.
Both of them chose to make steak.
Moreover, in order to seize the initiative, they use more traditional methods to make steaks.
Although Mo Qingyan only took a rough look, she knew it based on the way they both processed the steak.
It would be impossible to win over those international chefs.
It is even more impossible to win his tomato beef pot.
Even Lang Yueming has a great chance of winning them.
After all, Mo Qingyan had a general idea of Lang Yueming's cooking skills.
Sure enough, when the judges arrived and began to announce the results of the competition.
The two chefs from the United States ranked seventh and eighth respectively.
Lang Yueming ranked sixth with a 0.5 point advantage.
Although he was still eliminated, his score was higher than those two chefs from the Beautiful Country. Then naturally there is reason to laugh at them.
It is also something to be happy about.
Mo Qingyan, who had lost all her advantages, defeated the four international chefs with full marks and won the first place.
It’s amazing to see that Mo Qingyan was able to get full marks even under such a disadvantageous situation.
All the chefs in the lounge were shocked.
Including Lang Yueming and others.
Although they also believed in Mo Qingyan's cooking skills.
However, after all, the ingredients that Mo Qingyan got were indeed difficult to make good use of.
The chances of beating those international chefs are not high.
Therefore, Lang Yueming and the others only hope that Mo Qingyan can make it into the top five.
Unexpectedly, Mo Qingyan defied everyone's expectations and took first place again.
"Mo Qingyan, you are so amazing. You got full marks again." Lang Yueming was full of admiration for Mo Qingyan at this time.
Although Lang Yueming felt a little disappointed about being eliminated, he did not take it too seriously.
Because he knows his own cooking skills well.
I am lucky to be able to come to the second game.
After all, everyone who can come to participate in the International Food Festival competition is a very good chef.
Zhou Ningren, who was also eliminated, was even more motivated when he saw Mo Qingyan get full marks again.
He said to Mo Qingyan: "Mo Qingyan, I will definitely catch up with you."
"Don't." Mo Qingyan joked, "I already have a boyfriend. If you want to pursue me, you have to get my boyfriend's consent."
Zhou Ningren rolled his eyes at Mo Qingyan and then left.
Chen Kang was not eliminated, he just happened to be stuck in fifth place.
Chen Kang is also the only one among their group of third-level state banquet chefs who will enter tomorrow's competition with Mo Qingyan.
"See you tomorrow." After saying hello to Mo Qingyan, Chen Kang left.
Gao Moqi came to Mo Qingyan and asked her with concern, "What happened during the competition?"
Although Mo Qingyan got full marks and successfully advanced.
However, Gao Moqi still believed that something must have happened to Mo Qingyan during the competition.
Mo Qingyan said: "I'm hungry, I'll talk to you when I get back."
When Gao Moqi heard him say this, he had no choice but to nod.
When Gao Moqi found out what the two chefs from the Beautiful Country had done to Mo Qingyan, he was very angry.
However, due to his status as a judge, he could not directly target the two American chefs.
At the same time, we certainly cannot complain about the two people to the International Gourmet Association.
After all, the two have been eliminated, and the culprit has been punished.
If he complained about the two people to the International Gourmet Association, it would seem that he was partial.
Although he could no longer complain about the two people, it did not mean that he could do nothing about the two beautiful chefs.
Gao Moqi directly conveyed the whole matter to James.
The reason why Gao Moqi told James about the matter.
One reason is that James is a man who hates evil, and the other reason is that James has been conquered by Mo Qingyan's cooking skills.
Three, is the most important.
James is not only the most senior gourmet judge at the International Gourmet Awards, but also the representative of gourmet judges.
He has a very high say in the International Gourmet Association.
As expected, James was furious after learning about the disgusting things the two American chefs had done.
He originally thought that Mo Qingyan chose beef rump during the competition because Mo Qingyan was very confident in her cooking skills.
I didn’t expect that I did such a heinous thing because I was targeted by someone.
Mo Qingyan was forced to use beef rump.
It is really infuriating that such a thing happened during the game.
What's more, James had already been conquered by Mo Qingyan's cooking skills.
The love in my heart for Mo Qingyan had already overflowed from my face.
Therefore, after knowing this matter, James immediately made a strong complaint to the International Gourmet Association.
At the same time, they also brought in a number of high-ranking gourmet judges to put pressure on the International Gourmet Association.
Such a terrible thing actually happened in such an international competition.
This concerns the reputation and credibility of the International Gourmet Association.
Regardless of this, the International Gourmet Association must deal with this matter seriously.
You can't just give a red card warning and call it a day.
Otherwise, if other chefs follow suit in future competitions, wouldn’t the competition be a mess?
Because of the joint complaint from food judges such as James.
The International Gourmet Association gave the results of the handling overnight.
During the competition, the chef who deliberately blocked Mo Qingyan from the competition was banned for three years.
This ban not only applies to international food festival competitions, but also to various world-class competitions.
If you can't participate in the competition for three years, your ranking will definitely drop.
By the time that chef was able to participate in the competition, he was no longer qualified to participate in such international competitions.
This punishment can be said to be very severe.
The other chef from the United States, although he did not cause any trouble, deliberately took away all the good beef during the competition. But it was not used in the dishes of the competition.
This behavior not only wastes food. It also disrupted other chef competitions.
If other chefs do the same thing in future competitions, how will the competition proceed?
Then let’s all go and grab the food.
Grab all the ingredients and you'll be the winner.
Therefore, the International Gourmet Association also imposed a two-year ban on another American chef.
The punishments for the two chefs will be announced on the official website of the International Gourmet Association.
Let other participating chefs learn from this.
Mo Qingyan didn't expect that Gao Moqi's simple phone call would have such a big impact.
The International Gourmet Association actually imposed such severe punishment on the two chefs from the beautiful country.
However, Mo Qingyan is not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness.
After the two American chefs did such a disgusting thing to him, Mo Qingyan spent some money to have them put on the hot search headlines of various countries.
In an instant, their names and their deeds spread throughout the world.
Apart from China, the United States had the strongest reaction to this incident.
Because their behavior actually became an international hot topic.
It has brought discredit to the beautiful country and made the people of the beautiful country very angry.
In just one night, the two people's public accounts were directly attacked by the beautiful Chinese people and righteous people from all over the world.
It is said that of course, the hotel where the two men stayed was surrounded by a large group of foreign righteous people.
There were also righteous people who lived in the same hotel. They pretended to be hotel staff delivering food and beat up the two men. He was beaten black and blue.
In the end, if the hotel security personnel had not arrived in time, the two would probably have spent the rest of their lives in the hospital.
The other chefs from the beautiful country who had been eliminated quickly booked flights and fled overnight.
Those who wanted to continue the competition quickly changed hotels for fear of being implicated by the two.
