Chapter 153 Choice is more important than effort
When Si Jing saw his apprentice on the show, his face immediately changed and he started calling people he knew.
But the big guys he was familiar with had already sat on the judges' panel.
The host has announced the start of the show. There are cameras on them, so these people have muted their phones in advance.
There are 400 people now, and this time 1/4 will be eliminated, leaving 300 people.
This competition system is extremely cruel.
Everyone is giving 200% of their effort.
These culinary masters come here.
I didn’t expect that the pop-up store had a special area for cooking.
Because of this incident, the pop-up store business, which was making a lot of money every day, was stopped, and they focused on doing this variety show.
Before they came, they just thought they were going to do a show, but after they arrived, they faced the TV station’s live broadcast and the ever-increasing number of people.
Coupled with the frequent interactions in the barrage, their sense of responsibility naturally arises.
This time they really intend to pick out some good seedlings.
The first item of the competition is to make their signature dishes.
They need to report the raw materials in advance.
The fish are purchased by Mantianxing Kindergarten. Now they need to be pickled and processed.
Many of the chefs present were pioneers of fusion cuisine, while some were opportunists who wanted to try their hand at their signature dishes.
We also make representative dishes of various cuisines.
There are even some that make their chef’s signature dishes.
Basically, you can tell whose apprentice this person is by looking at what he chooses to report.
The chef circle is so small, with so many people coming and going that even if you have never seen them, you still have a vague idea of them.
The only exception among them was Jiang Xun, who chose the grilled beef tendon.
In fact, what his chef is best at is pan-fried beef.
The chef who has become famous is really talented and can fry the beef to perfection.
The milky aroma inside is fully released, and this bite of pan-fried beef is the white moonlight in the hearts of many people.
Once you have tasted this, you will feel that other kinds of beef, whether stir-fried, deep-fried or stewed, are not as good.
Jiang Xun’s pan-fried beef dish is so delicious that it’s indistinguishable from the real thing.
Even the master's wife couldn't tell who did it.
The pan-fried beef has reached its peak.
Because of this good cooking skill, countless job opportunities came to him.
But Jiang Xun didn't go.
Until that incident happened later.
Making pan-fried beef was like evidence of his betrayal of his master.
So he gave up this dish in this cooking competition.
He chose another dish that he had rarely made before, grilled beef tendon. This was a dish he chose after learning about the Mantianxing Kindergarten.
The chef judges are different from the other judges, they move around.
When the first judge discovered that Jiang Xun had cooked grilled beef tendon, he looked at Chef Liu thoughtfully.
This dish is Chef Liu's specialty.
The most popular dish at Mantianxing Kindergarten was the grilled beef tendon.
It is said that Chef Liu has become tired of making this dish.
But people haven’t gotten tired of it yet, and grilled beef tendon will always be on the must-eat list in every conference review.
What others cook always tastes worse!
If Jiang Xun can cook this dish very well, Chef Liu will definitely be very surprised.
Chef Liu is not only a culinary giant, but also the deputy director of Mantianxing Kindergarten. His words carry a lot of weight!
Others just thought Jiang Xun was trying to please them, but in fact he was just showing off his skills.
He has his own pride.
This is a quarter-elimination match with a total of 400 people. This competition system alone can eliminate 300 people.
Others all cook the dishes they are best at.
And he chose to do the thing he was least good at.
If he is eliminated, it means that he is not skilled enough and he will have no complaints when he moves away in the future.
If successful, it will be the beginning of another glorious chapter for him.
With countless cameras pointing at them, he didn't have much time to be sad.
All he could do was handle the dish well.
It turns out that an expert can do nothing with just one move.
Jiang Xun's technique in preparing this dish was very skillful.
You have to configure everything yourself. Photographers and other people just pass by quickly. With so many people, each person stays for less than three seconds.
But in just these three seconds, Si Jing in front of the screen noticed something.
Jiang Xun actually made this iron plate beef tendon. It seemed that he wanted to completely sever ties with him. This realization made his face darken.
The other brothers present could see that their master was unhappy and didn't even dare to breathe.
But the netizens in the live broadcast room were very busy.
Some are looking at handsome young men, while others are looking at capable young ladies.
Others were looking at which dish they were interested in, and they didn't know where their eyes were looking.
People who work hard are the most attractive!
Soon, the chefs were seen preparing the dishes they were going to cook.
Some are steamed and some are fried, and the aroma bursts out almost at the same time.
With so many people cooking at the same time, even the aroma would be mixed up.
Then this chaotic smell will make people who have never been in the kitchen feel uncomfortable.
But at this moment, an unexpected fragrance suddenly came out.
The camera just happened to scan the 10 online judges' seats.
I saw 10 girls all looking in one direction, their eyes full of expectation.
Hot comments from netizens.
"It looks like my cat when he's waiting to be fed."
"The girls are so cute, their eyes are so bright."
“I want to feed them, too.”
Some netizens started to get crazy: "What on earth is the dish that attracts them?"
More netizens started to get greedy.
"Damn it! Why haven't they invented a camera that can smell? I raised this idea with scientists 10 years ago. Did they ignore my demands?"
"That's right, even if you're not allowed to eat it, it's okay to smell it."
Soon it was all over.
The camera scanned over each dish one by one, and each dish looked very good.
But when the iron plate beef tendon was swept, both the scene and the Internet erupted in excitement.
"Sizzling beef tendon, isn't this the sizzling beef tendon I've always dreamed of?"
Since Chef Liu started cultivating his vegetable garden, he has rarely made this dish: "I'm craving it so much. I had it once at a pop-up restaurant and I can't forget it."
"This guy actually knows how to make sizzling beef tendon. Could he be Chef Liu's apprentice?"
The judges took chopsticks and ate from each dish one by one, then gave scores directly after they were finished.
The speed is very fast.
After eating, the remaining food was brought to the online judges' table.
You can pick the ones you are interested in and try them.
As a result, everyone chose the grilled beef tendon.
It's crispy when you take a bite, soft and sticky when you bite into it, and has a special sweetness.
This is the difference between Jiang Xun and Chef Liu.
Jiang Xun likes to use sugar to enhance the flavor.
But Chef Liu likes to use old soup for flavoring.
However, this slightly sweet taste makes the grilled beef tendon more suitable for young people's taste.
With so many dishes, the girls managed to finish the grilled beef tendon.
The camera saw how much they were enjoying the meal, and gave them a few close-ups, making the people in front of the screen drool with greed.
"There is no doubt that this person will advance!" netizens said with certainty.
"His dishes are cleared."
Some netizens were also sour: "I know that sometimes choice is more important than hard work. If he hadn't chosen the grilled beef tendon, maybe he wouldn't have attracted so much attention."
"That's wrong. It's precisely because so many people have eaten grilled beef tendon that the judging process is more rigorous!"
Everyone discussed it at once, and the finalists were announced on the spot. Of the 300 people selected, Jiang Xun was indeed one of them.
