Chapter 420 I Have a Spoon of Sanhua Evaporated Milk
The old man paused deliberately, as if he could see the contestant on the other side of the camera, straightened his collar and looked directly at the camera.
"Then why didn't I give a ticket? Because the shrimp weren't cleaned of their threads. I saw a little bit of black thread remaining on two of the shrimp. It wasn't much, just a tiny bit. I guess I didn't take it into consideration due to time constraints, which is understandable in this case.
However, in the catering industry, it’s all about attention to detail. If you can maintain these details, you will be successful. To be a chef, first of all, you must pay attention to details.”
"Clap, clap, clap!" After the old man finished speaking, Dang Yongge next to him led the applause.
"Clap, clap, clap, clap!" Although the contestants sitting in Hall No. 2 knew that the old man couldn't see, they were still moved to tears as if they felt something and clapped their hands vigorously.
"The old man really has the ingenuity of the first generation of chefs." Zhao Xiaojing said with emotion.
Before the fat man and Wen Xinyuan could respond, the old man on the screen smiled and continued speaking.
"Finally, let me talk about a contestant who didn't make the cut. This contestant made a dish called 'Farmer's Bowl of Fragrant Food'. It contained eggs, pork belly, and chili peppers. The combination was very good, the color was beautiful, and the aroma was very rich. However, none of us six judges tasted a single bite of it, and not one of us voted for this dish." Nan Rongquan frowned as he spoke, and his tone became very stern.
The five judges and He Xi on the stage were not surprised at all. Their expressions were very calm, and it was obvious that they knew the inside story. The contestants in Hall No. 2 looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
"Why is that? It's because, unfortunately, we also saw this contestant's cooking process. While he was making the Nong Jia Yi Wan Xiang, he took the opportunity when the camera was away to add his own special seasoning to the dish. This is the source of the rich aroma of this Nong Jia Yi Wan Xiang."
At this point, He Xi took a small paper bag from a nearby staff member, showed it to the camera, and then went on to explain. "To avoid disturbing the contestants and to ensure the competition continued smoothly, several judges noticed this contestant's trick, but didn't expose him outright. They simply informed our staff. After he finished his dish, our staff immediately took him to a booth for questioning and took the seasoning away for evidence. After several of our backstage professionals identified it as a flavor enhancer from Hix Technology."
"What the hell!"
"Is this possible?"
"Who is it? What bastard? We're all working so hard to compete here, and he actually expects to beat us with just a spoonful of technology?"
"I just used a spoonful of Sanhua evaporated milk and killed a 30-year-old chef?"
"This is me, a spoonful of Sanhua evaporated milk. I bravely entered the competition and was eliminated! This is a national competition, how can you let him go?"
"What a discerning judge!"
When the contestants in Hall 2 heard this, they were instantly in an uproar, and everyone looked indignant. It was not until they saw Nan Rongquan pick up the microphone again that they calmed down again.
"This contestant has been disqualified and will be banned from participating in any formal culinary competitions for life. We will notify the restaurant that has been named later. Going forward, I hope all contestants will protect their reputations and take this as a warning. Cooking is a demanding profession, one with a sound moral code and professional ethics. There are no shortcuts. That's all I have to say."
"Good job canceling it! The old man is mighty! Snap, snap, snap!"
"Pa pa pa! Just say you're going to be eliminated, right? Didn't we tell you before the game? No more unnecessary things, with all these cameras!"
"This guy is so brave! He finally made it into the top 300 and could at least show up on TV, but now he has to go into technology. What's he thinking? Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Is it possible that he couldn't advance without the technology? How do you know if he used it in the first few games?"
"Who cares if it's useful or not, the old man is awesome!"
“Pah pah pah!”
“Pah pah pah!”
After Nan Rongquan finished speaking, the people in Hall No. 2 were suddenly filled with joy and there was another round of warm applause and praise.
However, Nan Rongquan on the other side of the screen could not see it, and just silently handed the microphone to Dang Yongge.
Dang Yongge accepted it with both hands, smiled, and thanked Nan Rongquan before slowly speaking. "Teacher Nan's advice is invaluable, every word meant for your long-term development. I hope all the contestants will take it seriously. And for those who try to be clever, consider the price this contestant paid. I won't go into further detail. Now, I'll continue with Teacher Nan's words and briefly comment on the contestants who impressed me."
Just after Nan Rongquan finished his comments, the fat man leaned back in his chair in disappointment while clapping his hands. When he heard Dang Yongge was about to continue his comments, he immediately sat up straight and stared at the big screen.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help but ask when she saw the fat man was so excited.
"No need to ask, it's dry fried beef noodles." Wen Xinyuan next to him said casually.
"You know? Is this the only dish I can cook?" the fat man immediately retorted.
"Then tell me, what did you do?" Wen Xinyuan curled his lips and raised one eyebrow.
“…”
"What are you doing?" Zhao Xiaojing asked when she saw the fat man didn't say anything.
“…Dry-fried beef noodles.”
"Ah!"
"laugh!"
This time it was the fat man's turn to be autistic, and Wen Xinyuan and Zhao Xiaojing laughed at the same time.
"The three contestants who scored ten points are all excellent. Teacher Nan has already praised them, so I won't elaborate. Let's talk about the contestant who scored seven points." Dang Yongge glanced at the dishes on the table and directly skipped the contestant who scored full marks.
The fat man immediately slumped back down on his chair, his disappointment at not getting any evaluation or praise was evident in his words.
Seeing the fat man like this, Wen Xinyuan grinned proudly a few times and looked at the screen with a happy face.
So what if he is a 10-point contestant? He still can't get comments from the big guys. But he is different. He is a 7-point contestant and has a bright future.
"This contestant who scored seven points almost got ten. Teacher Nan and I discussed that for this dish, only one of us needs to give the points. So when I saw Teacher Nan give the points, I didn't. This contestant made egg fried rice, which is a bit similar to Yangzhou fried rice, but you can also see that due to time constraints, many things were simplified, so it can only be called egg fried rice."
This refers to Jing Ziheng. As soon as Nan Rongquan mentioned fried rice, Zhao Xiaojing immediately identified herself with it.
Although some of the contestants who finished their dishes later also made fried rice, they were also pressed for time, and the appearance of their dishes did not compare to the one made by Jing Ziheng.
It seemed Fatty and Wen Xinyuan were right; this guy did have some skills. Even though he looked flustered, he almost got a perfect score and even received Dang Yongge's praise.
