Chapter 2013: The difference in the ingredients

Translator: 549690339
Candied vegetables originated from Ludi. Watermelons, bananas, sweet potatoes, apples, Chinese yam, and so on could be caned. If caned was the embodiment of Lu cuisine’s heat control, then the peeling technique was the culmination of Lu cuisine’s turning skills.

The evaluation of the silver spoon in the silver spoon Evaluation Conference was mainly to compare the chef’s ability to control the heat and turn the spoon. Both the shredded vegetables and the stir-fried vegetables were good choices, Yuan Zhou thought in his heart.

“I wonder if the topic of today’s competition will directly be shredded vegetables.”

Yuan Zhou got up early in the morning and did some exercises first. Only after breakfast did he have the time to think about the competition later. For Yuan Zhou, it didn’t matter what the competition was about. He just needed to do his best and not make any mistakes.

Speaking of which, Yuan Zhou’s evaluation of himself was basically “no mistakes”. Master Cheng and the other apprentices of Yuan Zhou would also learn this mantra. In the future, the “no mistakes” that Yuan Zhou’s colleagues spoke of would probably be the biggest lie in the cooking world.

According to the evaluation Conference system, the first round’s questions were public and required the chef to prepare in advance. However, the second round was confidential and could only be revealed when the competition began. This was also a major feature of the competition, which tested the chef’s ability to adapt and cooking experience.

Seeing that it was still early, Yuan Zhou had originally intended to read for a while. When he was doing work, time passed very quickly.

“It’s time to go over and take a look. ” Yuan Zhou checked the time and found that it was already 9:30. It was just right to go there from 10:00.

Compared to the first day, he was already familiar with the road. Yuan Zhou walked towards the Lu cuisine Association unhurriedly. Compared to Yuan Zhou’s calmness, some people had already arrived there quite early.

“Head chef Yuan’s culinary skills. I must take a good look at them.” Gao Fei encouraged himself in his heart. Even if he lost, he had to know why he lost.

…

Not to mention the heat control … Gao Fei muttered in his heart.

Bai subo had also come to watch the contest today, mainly to watch Yuan Zhou. After being “recommended” by his master, imperial chef mo, he had never seen Yuan Zhou cook.

For example, Bai subo made a dish for imperial chef mo and then said,”his cutting skills are too bad, far worse than Chairman Yuan ‘s. And the taste is terrible.”

To be honest, imperial chef mo had been in this state ever since the knife-sealing banquet. Bai subo didn’t turn evil. He was really an honest man.

“Head chef Gao, you’re early.” Bai subo saw Gao Fei when he arrived early in the morning, even earlier than him.

“I’m here to see head chef Yuan. ” Gao Fei was an honest person and spoke his mind.

“Head chef Yuan’s cooking skills are indeed worth learning from.” Bai subo said matter-of-factly.

If he had known what Gao Fei was thinking, he would have shaken Gao Fei’s shoulders and said,”wake up. You just need to study. You won’t be able to catch up even if you fly a rocket.”

Bai subo was a very self-aware person and also a very realistic person. He could see that those highly respected seniors had always maintained a very positive attitude towards Yuan Zhou. After all, even if one of them was blind, not everyone was.

The peak of cooking in Asia was not just for show.

By the time Yuan Zhou arrived at the meeting place, almost all the chefs had arrived. After greeting Zhou Shijie and the others, he directly went to the high platform.

It was still the same venue as yesterday. There were only two people in the competition today, so the stove could be chosen at will. Head chef Qin Hua had already arrived at the stove he had used yesterday and started to tidy it up.

Yuan Zhou also intended to choose the one he had used yesterday. After all, he was familiar with it. When he passed by head chef Qin Hua’s side, Yuan Zhou greeted him very politely,””Good Morning, head chef Qin.”

“Head chef Yuan, Good Morning.” Head chef Qin Hua also gave him face. He stopped what he was doing and nodded at Yuan Zhou.

The emcee today was still Xiao Li. After Yuan Zhou stood by the stove and cleaned it again, it was almost time.

“Dear guests, the final showdown of the 10th silver spoon Evaluation Conference is about to begin. Are you looking forward to it?” Xiao Li said with a smile.

“I’m looking forward to it!”

Even though the chefs were all skilled in hand work, they were quite energetic. As soon as Xiaoli’s voice fell, there were a lot of roars from below, and they were quite enthusiastic.

“Okay, then let’s cut to the chase and enter the final duel. The topic of this duel is that the two head chefs need to prepare a dish of crab roe braised winter melon.” Xiao Li said straightforwardly.

It wasn’t shredded vegetables, it was peeled vegetables.

Since they were preparing the same dish this time, the difference would be very obvious. In addition, it was a dish that fully reflected the flipping skill, so the intention was also very clear.

The reason why there were chefs who could cook delicious dishes, terrible dishes, and Yuan Zhou who could reach such a level was that he had mastered a series of skills such as turning the spoon, heat control, and knife skills.

“Cooking the right dish, Yin Shao is a little interesting.” Yuan Zhou roughly knew what the evaluation committee meant when he heard the question.

Qin Hua also had a confident expression. After all, he had participated in many competitions. He stood there with the aura of a master.

“I will now announce the start of the final battle.” Xiaoli retreated to the side after her announcement. There was nothing for her to do for the time being.

The two of them went to the back, planning to choose winter melon and crab. In fact, winter melon with crab roe was a very simple dish. Of course, it was also a dish that required quite a lot of effort. It was not easy to make it well, but it was easy to cook it well.

The contest between the two head chefs began from the moment they chose the ingredients.

The competition organizing committee had prepared a lot of ingredients. There were several types of winter melons alone, both big and small. It could be said that any kind of fruit was fine.

Head chef Qin Hua went straight to the big fruit category and chose the White-shelled winter melon that was often used in Lu cuisine. It was not small, and it took him a lot of strength to carry it away.

Yuan Zhou stood at the same place and thought for a while. He didn’t choose the big fruit type, but chose a small one with Five Leaves. It looked much smaller, about the size of a honeydew.

“The size should be just right.” Yuan Zhou patted it lightly and then selected a dark green one, which looked quite nice.

After choosing the winter melons, they began to choose the crabs. This time, the two of them were very similar. They both chose Lake crabs. Although they were different in size, the types were similar.

When everything was ready, the two of them began to work. Each of their movements was very regular. On Yuan Zhou’s side, one person was busy, while on Qin Hua’s side, three people were busy.

“If it were you, what kind of melon would you choose?” Gao Fei was a little confused about Yuan Zhou’s choice.

“I still think head chef Yuan’s cutting skills are more interesting.” Bai subo said without turning his head.

Yuan Zhou held the knife in his right hand and supported the winter melon with his left hand. With just a slight shake, the skin and flesh of the winter melon were separated, revealing the snow-white flesh of the melon inside. It was a sight that made people very happy.

Gao Fei praised him first.”This knife skill. Tsk, tsk. It’s really a cheat.”

“Is head chef Yuan planning to use the Sichuan cuisine’s method?” Head chef Wang expressed his doubts.

It was mainly because the five-leaf winter melon that Yuan Zhou had chosen was a specialty of Chengdu. That was why he had such a question.

“I think there must be a reason why head chef Yuan chose this type of fish.” Head chef Zhuang said in all seriousness.

“I don’t know. Maybe little Yuan is more familiar with this breed?” Zhou Shijie indicated that he couldn’t follow Yuan Zhou’s train of thought either.

The judges ‘guesses were actually not valid. The reason why Yuan Zhou chose Five Leaves was very simple. He felt that its sweet and glutinous taste matched the crab roe very well.
