Chapter 492: The Split is Harmonious
Zhao Xiaojing looked up and saw that the third set of seats had ended and the fourth set of seats had begun, causing wailing from the contestants.
"No way! They also do four tables?!"
"Just now, Yu Yiyuan has already killed me, and now Zhao Duo comes to whip my corpse!"
"Why are these two groups so competitive? Why?"
"How can people survive like this? This is annihilation!"
"I'll go to bed again this time."
"I don't want to say anything anymore. We're not the only ones who only made three sets of meals, are we?"
Amidst the frantic mumbling, Mao Tingxiu, who was sitting in the front row, turned to accuse the fat man from several places away, "Zhao Duo, are you guys crazy? Why are you so unpredictable in a competition?"
"Sister Mao, this isn't my fault. There are really bad people among the people..."
"I think you are the worst one!"
"No, it's us..." The fat man glanced at Gu Yanghui and was about to say that someone in the team was causing division, but Mao Tingxiu glared at the fat man again, and turned back to watch the big screen without waiting for the fat man to explain.
"No? Is my reputation really that bad?" Seeing that Mao Tingxiu no longer paid attention to him, the fat man turned around and began to doubt himself.
Zhao Xiaojing and Nian Fusheng remained silent, just laughing silently.
The fourth set of dishes on the fat man's side was also from Taoli Tianxia, but it was made by Gu Yanghui and the others. Compared with Yu Yiyuan's version of Taoli Tianxia, the difference between Taoli Tianxia on this table was immediately apparent.
The cold dish for Gu Yanghui and the other guy was Zhao Xiaojing's braised dishes, which were arranged into ordinary round plates. In order to show the size, six dishes were served on the table. The main dish was baked lobster in soup, the secondary dishes were steamed conch with handmade meat patties, and black garlic eel with rice cakes. The three dishes looked beautiful and grand, but they didn't seem to have anything to do with Taoli Tianxia. And probably because these three dishes had already taken up all the time, energy and budget, the dishes in the third and fourth tiers were somewhat overshadowed by them, and even felt a level lower.
There were things like braised beef brisket with radish, scallops with vermicelli and garlic sauce, crispy pork with salt and pepper, taro and sweet potato balls, lotus root and pork rib soup, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and the fat guy and his friends who helped them make braised mandarin fish, black pepper beef fillet, asparagus and razor clams, eggplant with scallion oil, and finally a big bowl of white rice because they saw that they couldn't come up with any dishes.
There seemed to be a lot of plates and the portions were quite generous. It seemed that they were following the same route as Yu Yiyuan's team's Hua Hao Yue Yuan. Time was tight and quality was difficult to improve, so they relied on ingredients and portions to increase customer satisfaction.
However, this does not mean that the three sets of seats served by Fatty and his friends are small in size and of poor quality.
On the contrary, although the three sets of meals prepared by Fatty and his friends did not seem to have as many dishes as those prepared by Gu Yanghui and the others, and the ingredients did not seem to be as eye-catching as the lobster at first glance, the portions were just enough to feed ten people, and they were genuine high-end dishes that were difficult to find even if you paid money.
In the most expensive Songhe Changchun banquet, the three dishes, braised shark's fin, Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken, and Fairy Duck, can each be the finale, and the prices are all over a thousand yuan, not to mention that the Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken is almost lost, and now only the fat man's school knows how to make it in the orthodox way; as for the Fairy Duck, the orthodox method has long been untraceable, and it has now been divided into two cuisines. What Zhao Xiaojing learned from the system was to take the strengths of the secret recipes of the two factions and create a famous dish that surpasses the methods commonly used in the market.
As for the main dishes for the other two tables, "A Happy Full Moon" and "Top of the List," we considered the Fairy Duck at the time, but the meat of the Fairy Duck was tender and tender, and its target audience was more elderly people with bad teeth, so it was adjusted to the signature main dishes of other chefs. Although it was not as valuable as the nearly lost and exclusive dishes, it was also Michelin-starred, and was definitely in line with the banquet price and a great value for money.
The fourth set of seats was presented amidst waves of resentment from the contestants. The big screen soon continued to show the public judges' scoring session. After the boring voting, the final result of the fat group was announced.
The first table of Songhe Changchun Birthday Banquet corresponds to a 100-point seating area and scored 97 points.
The second table of the wedding banquet with a perfect moon and flowers corresponds to 80 points of seating area and scores 75 points.
The third table, the banquet for successful candidates’ entrance exams, corresponds to 70 points of seating and scores 66 points.
The fourth table, the Teacher Appreciation Banquet of Taoli Tianxia, corresponds to 60 points of seating and scores 49 points.
The scores for the first three sets were very high, but Zhao Xiaojing and Fatty had no time to be happy. They waited until the results of Gu Yanghui and others in the fourth set came out before they breathed a sigh of relief.
It was okay, okay. Gu Yanghui's table wasn't shoddy, didn't drag things down, and his thinking and direction were sound. It was also divisive, and while it didn't have the stability and completeness of Yu Yiyuan's table, it was still passable. It didn't reach the level of Yu Yiyuan's table, which was so impressive that it drew the ire of the boss.
He Xi quickly came on stage again, and after announcing the scores, the two big guys continued to comment.
Nan Rongquan picked up the microphone.
"Let's go back to the same scoring rules as before. Let's talk about the first item, teamwork. Haha, you've created a difficult problem for me and Teacher Dang with this first item. In terms of team integrity, you've split into two groups, which can't even be considered a whole. But in terms of harmony, your two groups are just the right amount of harmonious, and there's even a sense of harmony in the split. As for the division of labor, it's strangely reasonable in its unreasonableness, and you can even participate in division of labor and negotiation after the split. Even in terms of time management and smooth processes, if one party falls behind, the other party can make up for it, and can even think of ways to turn the disadvantages provoked by one party into an advantage in their own favor." Nan Rongquan shook his head and smiled helplessly.
The fat man and his group were nervously waiting for Nan Rongquan's criticism, but unexpectedly, these few comments made everyone feel like they were being praised, and they all started to smile foolishly.
However, the other people in the contestant seats who didn't know what was going on were in agony. They were all confused and could only anxiously wonder at each other.
"Teacher Dang and I deliberated over it again and again, and finally decided to treat each case separately. Incomplete teams would receive points, as would discord. However, if a team was highly mobile and overly harmonious, we would receive additional points. In short, after a series of discussions, after adding and subtracting, Teacher Dang and I finally came to a conclusion.
In this area, your final result is a deduction of 8 points, and a final score of 12 points."
"call."
"I was scared to death."
"It's quite high. Not bad."
Even though they were deducted 8 points, with Yu Yiyuan's team's 15-point deduction as a prelude, the whole team actually breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, feeling as if they had been let off the hook and even that they had scored quite high points.
"The second point is the theme. Your first three sets of banquets are basically the same idea, with both the general direction and the subtle details. Not only are the private rooms decorated, but the dishes also match the theme, with both the hot and cold dishes designed. It's quite good. But..."
