Chapter 575 Improvisation

Sun Mei was one of the first chefs to start the competition. When many contestants were still using paper and pen to list the ingredients they needed, she had already started to select.

The dish that Sun Mei was going to make this time required a total of 32 ingredients. She did not hesitate at all and selected all the ingredients and the side dishes in less than ten minutes.

After that, she asked the staff for 11 more fruit and vegetable grinders. These 12 grinders were arranged in sequence on the cooking table, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

With the advancement of technology, the cooking equipment that chefs can use has also increased. Since 1 Mantley invented the fruit and vegetable grinder, it has gradually become an indispensable tool for chefs.

However, it is still quite rare to use so many fruit and vegetable grinders at one time.

Sun Mei did not care about the eyes and discussions around her. She first slaughtered and cleaned the Wenchang chicken she had picked step by step.

Put the processed Wenchang chicken into the pot and stew it, and then quickly turned to clean other ingredients.

The female host also walked to Sun Mei's side at this time, taking this opportunity to introduce Sun Mei's identity to the audience in front of the TV.

"Chef Sun Mei, who represented Songxiangju, was born in a culinary family and is the granddaughter of the state banquet chef Sun He. She started learning cooking at the age of 6 and was qualified to be the chef at Songxiangju at the age of 8.

"At the age of 10, she won the runner-up in the World Youth Chef Competition. She was amazingly talented and was favored by many well-known chefs.

"Chef René Redzepi of Noma Restaurant praised her as a talented newcomer in the culinary world once in 30 years.

"But even such a rising supernova did not participate in any competitions, and did not continue to be active in the chef world. Instead, she chose to study abroad, and unexpectedly chose oil painting as her major. "

"This choice also made many people feel regretful. "The female host then interviewed a diner who had tasted Sun Mei's dishes before.

The man was almost 70 years old and praised Sun Mei's cooking skills, but at the same time he also expressed some concerns about her performance in this competition.

After all, Sun Mei had not been a chef for a long time. She suddenly came back to compete this time, and it was unknown how much of her previous state she could still perform.

At this time, Sun Mei had completely devoted herself to cooking and could no longer hear any noise from the outside world.

Even though she had been away from the kitchen for nearly ten years, her every move was still very skilled, whether it was cutting vegetables, peeling Whether the skin or the broken tendons are clean and neat.

She poured the cut ingredients into the fruit and vegetable grinder and quickly ground them. After a while, the 12 fruit and vegetable grinders around her became colorful.

Sun Mei poured the fruit and vegetable paste into the piping bag, and then continued to grind other ingredients until all the ingredients were ground.

She took out a 20-inch blue and white moonlight disk and began her own creation.

She first painted a beach with mango paste, and then used papaya paste to outline the palm trees on the beach.

"Ah, so that's it, using ingredients as paint to paint on the plate? This combines cooking with the oil painting techniques you learned when you were studying abroad."

Sun Mei felt that the voice behind her sounded familiar, and she looked back and was stunned.

"Why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me." Malu asked.

"Aren't you competing now?"

"Yes, but I asked the staff, as long as I don't disturb other contestants, I can go to watch other people's cooking process. "

Sun Mei looked at the timer on the table after hearing this. It was less than 30 minutes before the start of the competition.

Her face showed a look of disbelief, "Have you finished your dish?"

"No."

"Why don't you go back and continue working instead of hanging around here?"

"Well, although it's not finished, there's only the final fermentation and baking left. I've put it in the oven and set the timer, so there's nothing to do next. I'm going to walk around and see what everyone is doing."???

Sun Mei suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. She subconsciously looked at Yu Yitong and David behind Ma Lu, and saw Yu Yitong nodded slightly.

Although she didn't quite understand what Ma Lu was going to do, he did put his work in the oven 30 minutes after the start of the game, and then started walking in front of other cooking stations.

It was like an enthusiastic audience who had strayed into the arena.

And this guy could chat with contestants from various countries in fluent Chinese, although in the eyes of Yu Yitong and David, this was just a chicken talking to a duck.

"What are you going to draw? "Malu approached Sun Mei and asked curiously.

"The end of the world." Sun Mei did not hide it.

"Ah, it's closely related to the competition venue, smart!"

"You should also spend more time on your own dishes, don't be eliminated in the first round." Sun Mei advised.

"Well, okay." Malu said this, but he walked towards other cooking stations.

He first went to see Kawano Zhengming and found that this fake Odagiri Joe was standing in front of the cooking station, with his eyes closed, motionless.

And the ingredients he took back were still placed on the table intact.

"Hey, you haven't started yet? Half an hour has passed." Malu said.

Kawano Zhengming opened his eyes, "I haven't decided what to make yet."

"Didn't you say you wanted to make the restaurant's signature dish - reef?"

"But I found that the ingredients here are not suitable for this dish."

"Then you can change to another dish on the menu."

"But the problem I mentioned before will still exist." Kawano Zhengming spread his hands, "This is also what I am most worried about, because even if the same ingredients are produced in different places and different seasons, the taste will be different."

"Well, is that so? What are you going to do?"

"I plan to redesign a dish based on the existing ingredients to maximize the characteristics of these ingredients at hand." Kawano Zhengming said.

"Hey, live creation, so on the first day."

Malu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen someone in the group saying that Kawano Zhengming had a strong ability to improvise. What dishes his island restaurant serves every day depends on what he can catch.

"Then you should work hard, I won't bother you." Malu said.

"Have you not decided what to do yet?" Kawano Zhengming asked when he saw Malu about to leave.

"No, I'm almost done."

"…………"

Malu originally wanted to go to Qi Shanzhu to take a look, but thinking that she was nervous, he decided not to bother her and just looked at her from a distance.

Qi Shanzhu seemed to be planning to make desserts. She was kneading the puff pastry with a serious look.

Just as Malu was thinking about where to go next, a pillar of fire suddenly rose in the middle of the hall, triggering a series of exclamations.
