Chapter 1676: The battle between the two heroes
Translator: 549690339
This sucha’s lemon cashew chicken was cooked in an extremely authentic Thai style. The chicken was fried until it was light yellow and slightly charred. With the green lemon leaves spread on the side and lemon juice squeezed in, it gave off a special exotic fragrance the moment the lid was lifted.
It was the aroma of lemon mixed with chicken and nuts.
Because sucha and Qin Kaili were exchanging questions and answers, the three judges quietly began to taste the food.
The chicken meat was smooth and tender, and it was very rich with the oil attached to the skin. However, the first taste that entered his mouth was the aroma of lemon.
“This is a wild lime Thailand. It does taste different from the ones we have here,” Yuan Zhou said.
“Oh, that’s right. As expected of head chef Yuan. You can smell that even before you put it into your mouth. That’s really amazing.” Sucha caught Yuan Zhou’s words very agilely and immediately said.
That’s right. That was what Yuan Zhou said when he picked up the chicken and prepared to eat.
Yuan Zhou didn’t answer him. He just nodded to sucha and then started eating.
Just like Kosen, the three of them commented after finishing all the dishes on the plate in accordance with Yuan Zhou’s rule of not wasting anything.
That’s right. Everyone knew that Yuan Zhou would evaluate the dishes after eating and not waste any food.
…
Therefore, Zhang Yan and tengyuan Jiayuan followed Yuan Zhou’s rules. Fortunately, all the members of the green Chef society knew about this. Therefore, there was another requirement for the dishes this time, which was that they had to be exquisite and small in quantity.
After eating two dishes, the three of them didn’t feel full at all. It could even be said that they had just started to feel full.
After the meal, the process was the same as Kosen ‘S. First, Zhang Yan and Fujiwara Jiayuan would give an affirmative answer, and then Yuan Zhou would give his suggestion.
“There’s a small problem. The choice of lemon leaves should be the same as lemons. The fragrance of the chicken will be more unified if you use the same tree. It won’t affect the taste of the chicken. This time, you used the leaves of three lemon trees and lemons.” “The rest of this dish is fine,” Yuan Zhou continued after a pause.
“Thank you for your opinions, judges. I will work hard.” Sucha, who had been joking around with Qin Kaili, was now extremely serious.
He gave a serious bow, then stood up. Of course, he was very shocked.
After all, Yuan Zhou had accurately reported which trees the lemons he used came from. This was a problem that even he himself didn’t realize.
At the same time, she was even more eager to win the championship this time. After all, one could see the big picture from the small. If Yuan Zhou could point out such a small difference, how much would he improve if he was guided by Yuan Zhou alone? therefore, sucha stood even straighter.
But sucha wasn’t the only one thinking of this. The other three had naturally thought of it as well, and so they subconsciously straightened their backs in the hope of becoming the champion.
The three people of Yuan Zhou’s group just nodded their heads and didn’t say anything.
At this time, Qin Kaili came over again and began to get people to serve dubang’s dishes, which had been kept warm.
Dubonte’s dish was a famous Philippines dish, adobo. The most challenging part of this dish was how to marinate the chicken with vinegar and then eat it just right.
That’s right, this dish was simply made by marinating the main ingredients, chicken and pork, with vinegar. Then, after it was cooked, it was added with the secret sauce and placed on a plate.
However, because the theme this time was chicken, Dupond only used chicken when making it. Then, he ingeniously used the squid soup as a base.
Therefore, when the lid was removed, the fragrance that hit her face had a faint seafood flavor.
Zhang Yan and tengyuan Jiayuan looked at each other and then looked at Yuan Zhou at the same time. However, Yuan Zhou just picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat with a calm expression.
Dupond was more serious than sucha, so he only greeted them as usual and looked at the judges for their evaluation.
The judges were also very fast. After all, each dish was basically a mouthful. The three of them finished it very quickly and put down their chopsticks.
This time, Zhang Yan and Fujiwara were very restrained in their praise. They were still not as good as sucha, which made Dupond a little depressed. But soon, he pulled himself together and looked at Yuan Zhou with a burning gaze.
“The fresh squid you used.” Yuan Zhou said without hesitation. Then, before Dupond could answer, he continued,””But you didn’t handle the ratio of fishy and umami properly, and you also lost the fragrance of the soup. The chicken was stained with the fishy smell of the sea.”
Yuan Zhou restrained himself and didn’t say much, but he still mentioned a few fatal flaws, because they were the flaws in the taste rather than the defects.
Dupond instantly realized that he might not be chosen. He bent his back and lowered his head.”Yes, I’ll work hard to do better next time. Thank you.”
The three judges didn’t say much about dubang’s disappointment. Even Yuan Zhou, who usually hit the nail on the head, just nodded and then signaled for the next dish to be served.
The next dish was dashi xiujie ‘S. He chose the special food from his hometown, Fukuoka chicken pot.
In fact, this dish wasn’t suitable to be used in the competition because it was cooked in the form of a hot pot. It needed to be cooked with other dishes and then picked up to eat. Then, it needed to be stewed with the Golden bud rice prepared by dashi xiujie into a pot of porridge.
Hence, when Qin Kaili announced that the dishes he had prepared could be served, dashi shoujie spoke up.
“Please wait for a moment. Let me present the dishes to the three judges.” Dashi xiujie’s words were very standard, even comparable to the Chinese.
“Sure.” Yuan Zhou looked at Zhang Yan and Fujiwara Jiayuan and then nodded his head.
“Many thanks.” Dashi xiujie first bowed to the three people of Yuan Zhou’s group before he got up and opened the lid to serve the dishes.
The pot was boiling, and the White cabbage, Jade-colored chicken meatballs, green scallions, and mushrooms were rolling in the soup.
Dashi xiujie carefully served two spoonfuls of soup, a chicken meatball, a piece of cabbage leaf, a small piece of tofu, and a complete wild shiitake mushroom in each of the three small white porcelain bowls. Then, he signaled the waiter to carry them away.
“Please take these away. This dish needs to be unveiled last. Sorry for the trouble.” After saying that, dashi xiujie took a step back and waited for the judges to taste it.
“Then let’s start.” Yuan Zhou received the small bowl and said to the two people while nodding his head.
“Yes.” Zhang Ye nodded.
“Alright,” he said. Tengyuan Jiayuan also nodded and shouted.
Yuan Zhou first scooped half a spoon of soup and put it into his mouth. The soup had a totally different taste compared to the clear broth, top broth and stock broth of China.
The soup was surprisingly simple and fast. Yes, it was simple. There was only a faint taste of mushrooms and the saltiness of soy sauce.
The umami came from the freshness of the chicken meatballs, which was basically a soup that could be seen at a glance.
Yuan Zhou slightly raised his eyebrows and thought, this dashi xiujie is quite smart.
Then, he continued to taste the soup. This time, Yuan Zhou directly tasted the main course, the chicken meatballs. Just as Yuan Zhou had expected, the chicken meatballs completely retained the freshness and the smooth and tender taste of the chicken. The fragrance of the scallion in the soup was also completely absorbed by the chicken, neutralizing the fishy taste of the meat.
It was simple, bright, and fast. It was a glance, but it left a fragrance in his mouth.
Dashi xiujie paid close attention to the three judges at all times. After the three judges finished the main course, he immediately said,””Please lift the remaining lid.”
After saying that, the waiter opened the lid, and the fragrance of rice filled the air.
There was a small pot in the remaining lid. It was open, and a thin layer of congee was boiling.
“It’s indeed mixed congee. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“Yes, this is the final essence of the Fukuoka chicken pot.” Tengyuan Jiayuan nodded and said.
“Then let’s try it.” Zhang Ye said.
As they spoke, the three of them began to eat. The Golden bud rice was indeed the king of rice Japan. The rice was very fragrant. The rice oil was mixed in the simple soup and absorbed the fragrance of all the ingredients, making the mixed congee taste very rich.
The amount of porridge was not much, about three mouthfuls per person, but this mouthful of hot porridge made the three of them feel at ease.
As such, Zhang Yan was much more generous when he complimented her this time. He mentioned many points that he was very satisfied with.
Similarly, tengyuan Jiayuan didn’t avoid arousing suspicion. He directly said that dashi xiujie’s cooking skills had improved a lot, with a hint of returning to the original. One must know that this was a very high praise.
When it was Yuan Zhou’s turn, dashi xiujie almost couldn’t help taking out his small notebook to record it. But he still held himself back and listened to Yuan Zhou carefully.
“The ingredients are simple and not complicated. The soup is delicious and simple, but it highlights the deliciousness of the chicken main course. The soy sauce is a little too strong and the chicken is a little fresh. The porridge time is three minutes too short, and the taste is not perfect. Overall, it’s not bad.” As usual, Yuan Zhou first confirmed it and then gave his own opinion.
With the end of Yuan Zhou’s comment, the dishes for the four people were all finished.
At the same time, the staff took four identical forms and three black neutral pens and placed them on the judges ‘table.
“The three judges have finished eating the dishes of the contestants. Now, let’s invite the judges to give their scores to the contestants.”
Qin Kaili had the talent to be a host. Every time she spoke, the timing was perfect. This time, she was explaining the scoring rules to the guests and reporters.
“There are four forms in front of the three judges. The names of the contestants are written on them. The judges need to mark the score of the dish just now.”
“The highest score that each judge can give to a contestant is ten points. In order to make it easier to calculate the results of the competition, the three judges only need to ensure that their scores are within ten points.”
Of course, Qin Kaili had actually omitted one point. For the sake of fairness and independence in the scoring, they could not discuss all the time when they were scoring. Of course, it did not affect them if they said a few words from time to time.
The only reason there was such a rule was because they were worried that one judge would affect the other judge’s judgment, which was not fair to the contestants.
The reason why he didn’t mention it was because the three judges didn’t need to be reminded of such a small matter.
“It must be me, I’m so handsome that I can’t win the championship!”
“I don’t want to eat an iron pot, I don’t want to eat an iron pot.”
“I’m the one who can win the favor of the Imperial Grandmaster. ‘Exchange between head chef Yuan and the grandmasters’, the most basic thing for a chef is to believe that the food he makes can conquer the taste buds of his customers. I’ve never been so confident before!”
“According to my research, the taste of my adobo is definitely the most suitable for head chef Yuan’s taste buds. I can’t lose.”
Yes, Dupond wasn’t going to lose his confidence in winning just because of the evaluation just now. After all, the results weren’t out yet.
Dashi xiujie, Dupond, sucha, and Kosen each had their own thoughts. The four of them were like primary school students waiting for the final exam results, quietly and uneasily standing in a line.
“The scoring system for the final is different from the others. You have to fill in the form after eating everything. This is really torturous.” Zhang Ye sighed.
Tengyuan Jiayuan nodded. He picked up the pen and paused three times, but he still couldn’t write a score. It was really too difficult.
“Everything is afraid of comparison, and it’s even more so for culinary skills. All of them together, the comparison is too great. This organizer is really making things difficult for us.” Fujiwara Jiayuan sighed a lot.
The head of the judging panel, Yuan Zhou, didn’t say anything. He felt that if he were to say that he was the one who decided on the scoring model, would he be beaten up?
After a while, Yuan Zhou still felt that he should talk less and do more work.
Very quickly, the three of them still scored and the results were out.
[Judge dashi xiujie: 8.4 points]
Dupond, 7.9 points
Sucha, 7.8 points
[COSON: 8.4 points]
Before Yuan Zhou came here, he had already thought that he shouldn’t set a standard for himself or for girls. Instead, he should set a standard for their age.
Therefore, he was the first judge to give a good score. After that, the staff immediately took the form away.
When tengyuan Jiayuan and Zhang Yan saw that Yuan Zhou had finished the scores, they calmed down and started to grade.
The scoring time lasted for about 15 minutes. Qin Kaili only appeared again after the four forms were collected.
In order to leave some suspense, Yuan Zhou, Zhang Yan and Fujiwara didn’t ask the others how they would score.
“Next, we will announce the scores of the four contestants.” Qin Kaili’s voice could be heard by everyone present.
“First of all, I’ll announce contestant Kosen’s score. Head chef Yuan Zhou scored 8.4 points, Chairman Zhang 9.3 points, and tengyuan Jiayuan 9.1 points, so the total score is 26.8 points.”
“Next, let’s take a look at the Dupond contestants ‘scores. Head chef Yuan scored 7.9 points, President Zhang 9.0 points, and Fujiwara Jiayuan 9.0 points, for a total of 25.9 points.”
Qin Kaili’s speed was clear. She did not stop on purpose or try to be mysterious. She just reported it in a serious and serious manner.
“As for sucha, head chef Yuan has 7.8 points, President Zhang has 9.2 points, and Fujiwara Jiayuan has 8.8 points, so the total score is 25.8 points.”
“As for the final score of my contestant, dashi xiujie, head chef Yuan scored 8.4 points, President Zhang 9.1 points, and Fujiwara Jiayuan 9.3 points, so the total score is 26.8 points.”
The contestants all had different expressions when they heard their scores. Dubang and sucha’s hearts were heavy, because their total score was lower than Kosen ‘s, so they had definitely lost.
Unable to get Yuan Zhou’s guidance, sucha and Dupond became dejected and dispirited.
When dashi xiujie didn’t hear his total score, he broke out in a cold sweat. After he heard it, he was shocked. He and Kosen actually had the same score!
26.8、26.8、25.8、25.9。
So, were they going to have another round or something? Everyone looked at Yuan Zhou. This matter should be judged by the head of the judging panel.
