As soon as Yuan Zhou stepped into the banquet hall, the lights were bright and the layout was reasonable. There was only one empty long table. Standing on the edge of the hall were elegant figures in black dresses.
In front of the long table is a trio of judges. The nameplates on them are: Chairman of the Chinese Chefs Alliance, Doctor of Rare Ingredients Research, and Food Critic.
All of these people seemed to have quite famous names, but except for the first chairman, the rest looked like they were only in their forties and in their prime.
"Sure enough, chefs also have age requirements." Yuanzhou suddenly thought of the retired imperial chef.
Turning around, the one who stood out was their participating chefs, because they were all wearing blue ribbons on their wrists, as if they were decorations, while those who came in to watch were wearing red ribbons, so there was no mistaking them.
The people who came to participate were all very capable chefs, so most of them knew each other. They stood in front of each other in twos and threes, chatting in a relaxed atmosphere.
There are only six people who are the most unique.
One was the lonely Yuan Zhou. He didn't know anyone. Although he wanted to confirm his cooking skills, he would not greet a chef he didn't know rashly, so he stood quietly aside with a glass of water.
The arrogant Chu Xiao stood at the front with a strong aura, exuding a feeling like you ants, making people afraid to get close to him, blocking a group of people who wanted to get to know him.
After all, senior chefs all have their own pride, and no one would be willing to go up and touch someone else's cold ass with their hot face.
Others, of course, were Li Yanyi and Xing Min, who were always at odds with each other when they met each other. The atmosphere between the two was tense, and the students following them tried to comfort each other nervously.
I heard Xing Min speak again, "Old man, if you have the ability, let's have a men's contest."
"The old man still thinks that he is a hot-blooded young man." Li Yan gave Xing Min a cold look, the kind that he didn't even look at.
Now Xing Min exploded again, and both sides began to comfort him in various ways.
But the only one who was nervous was Xing Min's assistant, because every time Li Yanyi was criticized, he always responded with one sentence, which made Xing Min more and more angry.
Just five minutes after nine o'clock, the old man with the name "Chairman of the Chinese Chefs Alliance" stood up.
"Fellow technicians, I would like to invite you all to take a look at these ingredients. The competition is second and the communication is first." The old man's voice was full of energy.
As soon as he spoke, the people below immediately stopped talking and began to listen carefully.
"That's right, communication comes first." The chefs agreed.
"Yes, the first place belongs to me anyway, so what's the point of fighting for it?" Chu Xiao said and the scene suddenly went cold.
"Young man, you are young and energetic. It might have been you in previous years, but not this year." Li Yan snorted and said directly.
"Oh? You mean it could be him." Chu Xiao looked at Li Yanyi seriously, but pointed at Yuan Zhou.
Mao Zedong once said that we must despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically.
Although Chu Xiao did not despise Yuan Zhou, he did not pay much attention to it. He was only slightly interested.
"That's right." Li Yan nodded.
Chu Xiao however chuckled and had no unnecessary reaction.
"I'm sorry, I really don't like being pointed at. Please put down your fingers. Bluffing will only make you weaker, and you shouldn't use your fingers on accusations that have nothing to do with cooking." Yuan Zhou frowned and said with a serious face. .
"Oh?" When Chu Xiao heard Yuan Zhou's words, he looked at Yuan Zhou in surprise.
"I think we can start. I'm number four, what's your number?" Yuan Zhou ignored Chu Xiao's slightly interested look and asked directly.
"You want to compete with me?" Chu Xiao felt a little funny.
Since he became famous, no one has dared to compete with him.
Because his sense of smell is more than five times higher than that of ordinary people. After his own continuous training, he can distinguish the origin, time, maturity and freshness of every ingredient as long as he smells it. At this point, no one can surpass him. .
"You're wrong, this is a competition." Yuan Zhou's tone was indifferent, without any hint of competition.
"It seems that you are very confident, because the problem at the door gave you such confidence?" Chu Xiao, of course, heard that Yuan Zhou felt that he was bound to win, and said in a teasing tone.
"I think the game should start. After all, time cannot be wasted." Yuan Zhou ignored Chu Xiao, but looked at the time on his phone and said calmly.
"Interesting." Chu Xiao didn't care about Yuan Zhou's lack of answer. He showed an interesting look in his eyes and lowered his head to touch his cuffs.
"Yes, the technician is right, we should start this competition." The chairman of the Chinese Chefs Alliance looked at the tense situation among several people and did not stop them. Instead, he waited until Yuan Zhou reminded him before he came out to finish.
This is not because he does not attach importance to this competition, but because he feels that young chefs should naturally have their own arrogance and pride, and they will never fight in an ugly way. After all, there are old men like them.
If they didn't care about this at all, most people probably wouldn't make progress.
After all, only by being reasonably competitive can people make continuous progress.
"The first game will start with something like this. Please ask the technician who drew number 1 to come forward and tell the answer." The chairman of the Chinese Chefs Alliance directly signaled the opening.
This game has a strange rule that is different from others.
It has neither judges nor judges, because the competition is just who knows more ingredients.
The competition will first select 500 ingredients. Numbers 1 to 12 will come forward to identify the place of origin, maturity, and cooking time. The first ingredient will be identified by the technician who draws number 1. The second technician identifies the next one, and the technician who does not recognize the second one continues to identify the first ingredient.
If you fail to succeed three times in a row, you will be eliminated. When the ingredients are finished, the number of people left will participate in tomorrow's competition.
This method is actually unfair, but the old man, chairman of the Chinese Chefs Alliance, believes that luck is also a part of strength, so the number four drawn by Yuan Zhou is still a good number.
But Chu Xiao's number was even higher and directly number two.
The first thing that appeared was a few green peppercorns, which was easy to guess.
The person who was called to No. 1 was a tall young man with a big garb. He looked very ordinary and not nervous. He stepped forward and observed carefully. He followed the rules and did not touch or bring it close to smell. It was about After a minute, he started talking nonstop.
"Zanthoxylum bungeanum", also known as green peppercorns, dog peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, red peppers, and red peppercorns, there are also poems written about it. It is best used as a spicy dish. Both green and red colors can be used, and it is mature. The time is from July to September.”
"As for the origin of this peppercorn, judging from the strong aroma, it should belong to the production area of the Land of Abundance, where the peppercorns have the most authentic taste." The man with glasses finished speaking confidently and prepared to return to his original position.
"Sorry, I have objections." Chu Xiao took a step forward and said directly.
Yuan Zhou stood quietly and did not respond. He was rather curious about the people who suddenly came in over there.
