After witnessing Mingyue's leadership ability, most of the teammates were convinced by her.
You know, they had experienced team competitions before, but the situations at that time were mostly chaotic and rushed.
The whole kitchen seemed to be in chaos, all the team members were shouting at the top of their lungs, the scene was so noisy that command and dispatch were out of the question.
However, this time, the situation changed drastically.
Everyone was surprised to find that the seemingly difficult and complicated task became so easy and simple under Mingyue's assignment!
Everyone just needs to follow her clear and specific instructions to complete the tasks smoothly.
This efficient and orderly team collaboration experience surprised and inspired everyone.
The guests dining this time are truck drivers, so the theme of this team competition is - boxed lunches.
Each team needs to prepare 200 boxed lunches.
There are no specific requirements for the dishes in the lunch box, but it must include one cold dish, one vegetarian dish and one hot dish.
Mingyue and her friends are preparing to make cold eggplant, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried meat with chili peppers, and steamed salted duck eggs with meat patties.
Manwen was assigned to the cold dish group.
They began to prepare the cold eggplant salad.
In the hot dish group, Mei Fei was cutting meat, and Di Hu and two teammates were chopping minced meat.
Manwen sliced the eggplant and cucumber and drained them.
Mingyue's instructions were very clear. First, cut the eggplant, sprinkle salt on it to remove the water, and then cut the cucumber. After the cucumber is cut, the eggplant is almost dehydrated. Wash off the salt on the eggplant, squeeze out the water, put it on a frying pan and bake it. You also need to chop some garlic.
Drain the eggplant and dry it out on a pan.
Slice the eggplant to remove moisture, deep-fry or pan-fry without oil
Fry half of the chopped garlic into golden and crispy garlic cakes, and keep the other half for later use.
The work at hand was almost done, and Manwen asked about the next sauce: "Mingyue, how do you make that sauce?"
Mingyue was helping to cut peppers in the hot food area. She was giving clear instructions while cutting the vegetables.
“Mix the eggplant and cucumber with minced raw garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, passion fruit, brown sugar, and sesame oil until the overall taste is salty, fresh, sour, and sweet.”
“Finally, sprinkle with crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, fried garlic, green onions and cilantro.”
"And a little yogurt and mayonnaise."
"Stir it well and remember to taste it. Let me taste it too."
Manwen raised his hand and made an OK gesture, "Understood."
Mingyue walked over after Manwen prepared the sauce and scooped a spoonful with a clean spoon.
"Well, add a little more salt and vinegar. We're preparing food for truck drivers, so we need a stronger flavor."
Mingyue added a little salt and vinegar to the sauce, and asked Manwen to take a bite. After the other party nodded, Mingyue picked up some more with chopsticks, put it on a plate and handed it to Mengya.
"Mengya, at 10 o'clock, cold dish. Taste it and remember the taste. You will serve dishes based on this."
Because it is impossible to make 200 servings at one time, we must pay attention to controlling the taste of the dishes produced in batches to prevent accidents.
Mengya quickly found the cold dish handed to her according to the time Mingyue gave her. She put it into her mouth and tasted it carefully. Mengya nodded and responded loudly: "I remember it."
For Mengya, this team competition is very different from her previous experiences.
This was the first time she felt so involved in a team competition.
She is now doing some preparatory work with Lan Qingying, steaming rice, preparing thermal boxes and other things in advance, and arranging disposable tableware and putting them in bags so that they can be packed directly later.
It felt great to actually participate. It was like Mengya had finally touched a ray of substance after groping in the dark for a long time, which gave her a little more confidence.
After hearing Mengya's response, Mingyue reminded the other team members, "We should do the same thing when the other dishes are ready. Let Mengya taste them first. We need to prevent any problems with the taste."
"clear!"
No one had any objections because everyone knew that checking the dishes was important.
Also because Mingyue's instructions were very clear, everyone cooperated smoothly.
"Mei Fei, I've cut out a pot of chili peppers. You can fry them first."
"Here's the onion, ginger, and garlic water. I also chopped some onion, ginger, and garlic and placed them next to the stove. You can use them directly when you need them."
"Mei Fei has started cooking the stir-fried pork and peppers! You can also start preparing the tomato and egg dishes."
"Okay! I'll start frying now."
"A plate of steamed meat patties and salted eggs has been sent to the steamer. Let's steam it first."
"Okay, Di Hu, if you're too busy over there, remember to tell me."
. . . . . .
The judges were somewhat surprised to see how organized the Mingyue team was.
"I didn't expect this team to be so harmonious. What are they going to do?"
"Cold eggplant salad, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and salted egg meat patties."
"This menu is really well thought out. There's a solid foundation like scrambled eggs with tomatoes, as well as a more challenging dish like steamed meat patties."
"Steaming meat patties is indeed laborious. The meat filling needs to be constantly stirred with water. After the water is absorbed by the meat filling, it needs to be repeatedly beaten several times, and finally it needs to be molded into the shape of a meat patty."
"I didn't expect Mingyue to have such strong management skills. Is this her first time participating in a team competition?"
"Yes, she always advanced directly before and didn't participate in the first two elimination team competitions."
"Surprisingly, I didn't expect this kid to be so good at using people. She can even give Mengya the right guidance. The clock positioning method is really perfect."
"I really doubt she has any experience working in a large kitchen."
(Ming Yue: Although I haven’t worked in a big kitchen, I have run a hotel in hell.)
