Whether a chef is talented or not can be judged by his knife skills. As soon as Yu Wuwei got the hang of it, his knife skills were smooth and flowing, with dense but not chaotic light and shadow. With just a few strokes, the ingredients in his hand had the desired shape.
It was with this one move that he outshined all the chefs present, attracting the audience's constant attention and applause.
I originally thought that this young man was just there for show, but I didn’t expect that his move would be completely extraordinary!
Just looking at his knife skills, no one would believe that he is not a top culinary master.
Since other chefs can become the signature dishes of major three-star and above hotels, they naturally have their own unique skills, and their knife skills are certainly not bad.
However, there is no gap without comparison. When so many chefs are put together, you can see how skilled they are.
The chefs from three-star hotels might be a little nervous because it was their first time to compete with the top chefs in the industry, and they always gave people a feeling that they could not let go. Of course, there were one or two whose performance was comparable to that of four-star hotels.
The four-star rating is generally remarkable, and its technical level has reached a level that ordinary people can hardly reach. However, looking closely at its expression, it is not as calm as imagined.
This becomes apparent when compared to the five-star chefs, who appear genuinely calm, as if cutting vegetables so quickly is a very common thing, without worrying about cutting their hands at all, just like greeting each other every morning.
Not only that, the pinnacle of skills can be achieved in the hands of many four-star chefs, and in the hands of five-star chefs, there is an extra touch of roundness and grace, as if dancing in the knife, which is pleasing to the eye, and this is not seen in those four-star chefs.
However, compared with Yu Wuwei, these have obvious shortcomings.
Yu Wuwei's knife skills seemed to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. The whole process was smooth and flawless.
If they could still find some shortcomings in the details of the techniques of those top five-star chefs, they could not find any faults or flaws in Yu Wuwei's cooking.
In their view, this is not cutting vegetables, it is simply a performance.
Especially after seeing Yu Wuwei peel a grape with a kitchen knife, this feeling of amazement reached its peak.
They couldn't believe that grape skins could be peeled with a knife?
It is common knowledge that grapes can only be peeled, not shaved, due to their small size, soft texture, and a certain degree of continuity in their skin.
However, Yu Wuwei's knife skills overturned this common sense and made them realize that grapes can also be peeled!
The guests around were amazed and even the Feng family looked at Yu Wuwei as if he were a monster, and Feng Chuge's eyes were full of stars.
Several brothers-in-law were so shocked when they saw Yu Wuwei that their jaws dropped. No one had told them that their future brother-in-law had such skills.
What if one day they decide to teach their brother-in-law a lesson to avenge the bullying they suffered from their sister when they were a child, and this guy suddenly takes out a kitchen knife, will they give in, or give in, or give in?
Mr. Feng didn't say anything, but he couldn't hide the amazement and admiration in his eyes.
Yu Wuwei was very quick and all the necessary ingredients were ready in less than five minutes.
During this time, he also took the time to use his spiritual sense to scan the other chefs present. Each of them was busy processing the ingredients. Some had only processed a small part of them, and this was with the help of their assistants.
After the ingredients are processed, the cooking process begins.
Afterwards, the guests discovered that this young man not only had extraordinary knife skills, but his cooking techniques were also different from what they knew. The complicated steps and complex ingredients and seasonings were simply dazzling.
However, such a complicated process is performed so freely, smoothly and naturally by Yu Wuwei.
Fifteen minutes passed, and the other chefs had only finished half of their dishes. Some had even just started a short time ago, but Yu Wuwei had already finished the appetizer in front of him.
Looking at the time, there were about ten minutes left. Yu Wuwei was not idle either. He took out another bowl, put half of the prepared dishes in it, then covered it with a lid and let Yu Chenhuo put it in the refrigerator.
Only then did I start to control the heat while observing the chefs around me cooking.
Some chefs are not much slower than him, such as Chef Guo, the No. 1 chef, who has now entered the final stage.
Although Mr. Tan from No. 6 has a bad temper, his skills are indeed very good and he is almost done with the job.
Even the fat chef named Park at No. 7 did not show his usual condescending attitude when cooking, and performed his actions meticulously.
The other chefs who are faster have already finished most of their work, and the slower ones are also concentrating, so I believe they will finish before the deadline.
As time drew to a close, the chefs finally finished their dishes and waited for the judges to taste them.
The host saw that the chefs had all finished their work. Regardless of the time being up, he announced the end of cooking time: "Okay, time's up, and all the participating chefs' dishes are ready. Now it's time for the tasting! Chefs, please place your creations on the display in front of the kitchen counter!"
The chefs did not hesitate and directly put out several plates of their dishes and asked the deputy chefs to bring them to the front. Those who had soup also brought out a bowl.
The host continued, "Looking at the delicious dishes before me, even I'm drooling. But unfortunately, we can't eat them yet. We have to wait for the judges to try them before it's our turn! Judges, please!"
All the judges present couldn't wait any longer and walked towards the nearest kitchen table.
There are sixty-eight dishes and one hundred and one judges. It is impossible for every judge to taste dishes from number 1 to number 68 in order. Each of them can try any dish first and give their score to the corresponding number after tasting it until all 68 dishes have been tasted.
Since each judge eats the dishes in a random order, it is fairer to the participating chefs and avoids irregular scoring caused by abnormal taste of the dishes tasted later due to the judges' habits.
Every time the judges arrive at a booth, the chef will briefly introduce his dish. The judges will listen to the introduction and taste the dishes. After giving their scores, they will move on to the next one.
As soon as the host opened his mouth, the judges walked towards the booths. Yu Wuwei was no exception. The first two judges came.
Yu Wuwei was surprised for a moment. The two people in front of him, the first one was the Michelin boss Orlean, who came to Yu Wuwei and said, "I always hear Charlie say that the food at Chaoxianju is delicious. Today I want to try the food made by you, Mr. Yu!"
The other one was even more amazing, it turned out that it was Mr. Feng Yuanzheng who came in person!
