Rebirth Ninety's Fat Wife Should Be Self-reliant

Chapter 134 Longjing Bamboo Sun

On the day of the competition, Zhou Huilan got up early.

Although there is no competition in cooking skills, each family prepares a dish and brings it to the table, which is a virtual competition and should not be underestimated.

The dish of Longjing bamboo fungus requires fish paste. According to the analysis in the Xu family recipe, the best fish for making fish paste is white fish.

Anning is a place in the north, with no sea or lake, so Zhang Yongqiang asked someone to get some Taihu white fish from the south and keep them in the kitchen. They didn't use them last time, but they happened to be used today.

Although it is already the first month of the year, spring has not yet begun. When you wake up early in the morning, the cold wind is blowing, which still makes you shrink your neck.

Zhou Huilan almost ran all the way to the kitchen, but someone came earlier than her.

After taking off her big cotton-padded jacket, Zhou Huilan was about to open the door when she heard Zhang Yongqiang's voice.

"Work hard. If the two of us work together, our future will definitely be limitless!"

She was startled for a moment and opened the door. Zhang Shaokun and Zhang Yongqiang who were standing by the pool looked at her at the same time.

The first person to recover was Zhang Yongqiang. He broke the silence with a laugh and immediately came forward with a smile.

"Master Zhou, is it cold outside this early in the morning?"

Zhou Huilan conveniently hung her coat on the hook at the door, "It's okay, it's not a competition today, and I don't have to get up so early every day."

"That's right, today's level is over, and the next one is the finals. You guys should work harder to make our Donghua Restaurant famous!" Zhang Yongqiang smiled and said a few polite words before leaving the kitchen.

Zhou Huilan didn't think much about it. When she saw that Zhang Shaokun had already processed most of the fish, she didn't reach out to catch it. She just turned around and soaked the ham and scallops that she had prepared yesterday to prepare the soup.

The two of them have reviewed how to make this dish many times before, so they don't have much to say.

Zhang Shaokun finished processing the fish, and started making fish paste from the cut fish meat. Although he worked under Zhou Huilan, he was still young, and he didn't have any basic skills, and he also made the fish paste delicately.

Zhou Huilan couldn't help, so after handling the bamboo fungus, she started to help beat the egg whites.

Squeeze the minced fish into the shape of Longjing fish, use peas as eyes, put it on a plate, sprinkle some chopped ham on it, steam it on the drawer, take it out and put it in a bowl.

Because it was going to be sent to a TV station, the soup stock was not used directly. It was all put into an insulated lunch box and then put into an insulated box.

Then we started to go to the TV station.

There were only six families left to participate in the competition, but because family members were not allowed to watch this recording, there were not many people at the scene.

After Zhang Yongqiang drove Zhou Huilan and Zhang Shaokun to the TV station, he was also blocked outside. As soon as he entered the studio, he met the gorgeous woman wearing high heels last time, Xu Li.

Today, Xu Li is wearing a chef's outfit with the words Manxianglou printed on it, and is following Xu Maocheng, the chef of Manxianglou. Although her face is still very colorful, her plain clothes make her look much more refreshing.

Chow Huilan and others also have such clothes, but they arrived late and haven't changed yet.

Zhang Shaokun sent the dishes to the film crew, but Xu Li suddenly walked up to Zhou Huilan with her hands on her hips.

"Who is the master chef of your Donghua Restaurant?"

Zhou Huilan was stunned for a moment and did not intend to pay attention to her.

But Xu Li was very interested, "Look at you, you don't seem to be capable. Didn't your master teach you about being in a bad position?"

Chow Huilan still ignored her. It was a bit hot in the studio, so she took off her scarf.

"Hey, I'm talking to you! Are you mute?" Xu Li, who had not received a response, was finally annoyed.

Zhou Huilan turned sideways to avoid her hand, "Do I have to respond when you talk to me? Which law stipulates this?"

"You!" Xu Li said angrily.

Just as Zhang Shaokun came back from the film crew, Zhou Huilan took off her coat and tucked it under her arm. Without looking at Xu Li again, she went to the dressing room with Zhang Shaokun.

After changing clothes and returning to the studio, Chow Huilan got the content of today's competition.

Each family participating in today's competition prepared a dish, and today's competition content is also very simple. During the one-hour open tasting time, six chefs and their assistants worked together to write down the cooking process of five dishes as well as side dishes and main dishes.

What are used, different categories are guessed, and the steps are scored differently. The three companies with the highest scores can advance to the finals.

Although the content of such a competition seems simple, it is extremely unfriendly to young chefs like Chow Huilan.

Looking at other chefs, most of them were middle-aged and elderly people with gray hair. Zhou Huilan and Zhang Shaokun looked at each other, obviously feeling a lot of pressure.

But no matter what, the content of the competition is determined by the organizer, so we can only bite the bullet.

After the host's opening remarks, each contestant received a piece of paper and pen, and six dishes prepared in advance were also laid out.

In addition to their Longjing bamboo shoots, Manxiang Restaurant makes braised shark's fin, Niuji Restaurant makes Taibai duck, and there are three other restaurants that make flower blossoms stuffed with radish and meat, and vermicelli bamboo shrimps make silver shrimps.

There is also a decent Maoxuewang.

You can probably guess some of the names of the dishes, but Zhou Huilan knew that the competition was definitely not about these main ingredients, but the invisible auxiliary ingredients.

"Master Zhou, how about I write down everything I know, and you can add more?" Zhang Shaokun could see that Zhou Huilan was in trouble, but he didn't stay out and watch the fun.

Zhou Huilan nodded quickly, and while helping Zhang Shaokun take the book, she followed the flow of people and tasted one dish after another.

The organizer's competition project, if you look closely, is a bit difficult. After all, although some dishes are almost the same, different chefs have different habits. It is not easy to guess these.

An hour passed quickly. Zhou Huilan handed over the notebook and the chefs returned to their seats. The judges separated each dish written by each person, concealed the name, and sent it to each chef.

.

"The detailed cooking process is a secret recipe that you have worked on for many years. In order to protect everyone's privacy, everyone will score on their own. We will score on the spot, and it will be absolutely fair and just."

Everyone has never seen this kind of operation, but they all agree with it.

Zhou Huilan received the five pieces of paper and a scoring standard sheet.

She briefly browsed through it first. She could guess it by hearing the name, and could tell by looking at the presentation. Everyone had written about it, and the process of steaming the minced fish and soaking it in the broth was also written down.

It can be seen that they are all skilled chefs, but when it comes to the steps of mixing the fish paste, only one says to add beaten egg whites, another one says to add egg whites, and the remaining three just say

Add fish paste, stir-fried wine and lard.

Zhou Huilan carefully compared the score sheet and scored each order.

He raised his head and found Xu Maocheng staring at him intently.
