The twelve chefs have just started and their incredible Knife skills excited and attracted the entire audience.
“Look at the first one on the left, that rough-looking man. His knife is so fast that you can hardly see it..”
“Shen Yi, a famous chef in Tianyang City, I have eaten his dishes, which are absolutely first-class, and his Knife skill is also absolutely first-class.”
“Such a big piece of tofu, he cut it so quickly.”
“Look, it’s beautiful!
The audience saw that the rough-looking man putting the cylindrical tofu into the bowl filled with water. As soon as the tofu is in the water, the pieces of tofu are like hair, floating in the water and like a blooming chrysanthemum, they opened in the water.
“Ruolin, your dad is great.”
“Yeah, it’s not worse than Senior Brother Su Jing.”
In the auditorium, a few girls exclaimed, and Shen Ruolin’s face unconsciously showed a hint of contentment. Her father is well-known for his cooking skills and his Knife skills are even better than her’s. Now that she thinks about it, Su Jing is good but if her father is performing to the extreme, he may not be worse than Su Jing.
“Master Chef Shen, what kind of dish are you going to make? This tofu is beautifully cut.” The hostess naturally won’t let go of such an eye-catching chef and immediately come forward to visit. This kind of picture that the audience wants to see will produce high ratings.
“This is a famous dish in Tianyang City-Tofu Fish Soup.” Shen Yi was clearly not very verbal, but simply answered casually and continued to concentrate on cooking.
“May I ask what kind of Knife skills you are going to use to make this dish?” The hostess continued to ask questions, and Shen Yi answered them one by one, saying that although he was not good at words, he was absolutely excellent in his professional knowledge of cooking and his speaking skills made the audience enjoy listening. Of course, this is based on seeing his Knife skill, otherwise, he does not speak in standard mandarin and only a few people would listen to him if it weren’t for his Knife Skills.
After the hostess interviewed him for some time, he went towards another Chef. Other Chefs also have good Knife skills and some even have special talents. Some of the Chefs had only processed the ingredients with ordinary means as they plan to shock the crowd later with their skills. For example, Chef Wang of the Wang Family restaurant, for example, was so good at pulling live sea cucumber out of his hands that the audience clapped. There is also a Chef who is cutting noodles with his knife, which is also amazing.
Perhaps the only Chef that didn’t show anything special was Su Jing. Among the materials he chose were ginger, garlic, vinegar, wine, chrysanthemum, shredded white radish, and perilla, but he had a living salmon, but he didn’t make a move on the salmon and he was just mixing sauce.
“Can that young man even cook?”
“He is using a complicated technique to make his sauce and he is surprisingly quick and extremely skilled. It doesn’t seem to be impossible.”
“A chef who is only preparing seasoning? Is he still cooking that salmon?”
“I heard that he was recommended by Venomous Tongue Gourmand Zhou Xian, and had more than 10,000 online votes, he is also known as Qingyun Town Young God of Cooking.”
“Really, Are you sure that’s him?”
For a while, the suspicions about Su Jing were heard. The hostess originally wanted to visit Su Jing. He wanted to spent a lot of time on him to interview him. After all, he was the only one recommended by the existing food judges. At the same time, he also received more than 10,000 votes on the Internet. He was also said to be a Taming Grandmaster and Ancient Zither Grandmaster. How can such a young man with numerous topics not have many interviews.
After a while, however, the hostess became suspicious. Other chefs have demonstrated impressive Knife skills and other skills, and some have already started cooking. Their cooking skills are also first-class. However, Su Jing didn’t show anything, which made the hostess wonder whether there was a mistake, or whether this guy had an impressive background and came in through the back door.
“That guy Su Jing, is he really good at cooking? He didn’t come in through the back door, did he?” The intellectual woman in the audience doubted.
“I don’t know what he is doing.” Wang Yan has tasted Su Jing’s dishes and also seen Su Jing’s Knife skills, so she knows that Su Jing’s skills are definitely not that simple. However, she doesn’t know what Su Jing is doing now.
“That guy is only at this level. I don’t think I need to give him zero points, even if I did give him some more points, he will gain a very low score.” On the judging panel, the chunky middle-aged man was thinking. Thinking of the fate of Su Jing later, he could not help gloating. He looked away to see the other chefs, who had been invited for this competition. He might have a personal grudge against Su Jing, but he had to do his duty otherwise he would embarrass himself in front of everyone.
The other three food judges seldom focus on Su Jing. Only Zhou Xian often looks at Su Jing. He found that Su Jing was just adjusting the sauce at first glance, but the smooth, fast and precise movements were not what ordinary people could do. Moreover, looking closely at Su Jing’s treatment of each material, it seems to be accurate to the point of severity. Zhou Xian knows that the Su Jing dish is not as simple as it seems.
“What is this guy doing? Quickly show them your amazing Knife skills.” Lin Hao, Xiao Rui, Shi Lei, and Su Zhenhong, Zhao Mengxiang, Su Zhenyue, Ye Qin, Zhu Jianhua, Shi Qing, and others supporters of Su Jing couldn’t bear listening to the many ridiculous sounds around them.
However, Su Jing was not aware of it and was still slowly mixing the sauce. After more than half an hour, the dishes of other cooks were about to come out of the pan one after another and he was still mixing the sauce and the fish had not been cut or cooked.
This made all of his supporters impatient, wondering whether Su Jing had been too light on the enemy, leading to his absent-mindedness. Although he was a good cook, his opponents were by no means weak. If he took his opponent so lightly, he would probably lose. There was no second chance in the match.
“Mr. Shen’s Tofu Fish Soup has been made. Please bring the dish to the five food judges.” The hostess said and a beautiful waitress went towards the judges with Shen Yi’s Tofu Sauce and put the sauce in bowls and gave one to each judge.
“This is tender and fragrant and it melts in your mouth, this is the authentic and first-class Tianyang City Tofu Fish soup. The essence of this dish lies in its freshness, Masterchef Shen …” The first Chef Judge on the left made the first comment, he is obviously happy with the dish.
One by one, the other chefs commented, two judges were very satisfied, and two thought it was ok. Only after Zhou Xian had eaten, he said, “The Tofu is cut too thin, some parts have become boiled. It doesn’t melt the instant it enters the mouth. The fish is fresh and tender, but it doesn’t blend well with the tofu. This is Tofu Fish soup, not sashimi. The overall taste is barely edible. “
Originally full of hope, Shen Yi, who felt that he must be recognized by Zhou Xian this time, suddenly looked down. Shen Ruolin, in the audience, was also angry and resentful. This Zhou Xian was too picky. However, the audience listened to this with relish. They were used to the judges’ praise and their glib tongue. They also wanted the Judges to scold the chefs and they were enjoying the current situation. I’m afraid that’s why Zhou Xian was invited to this program.
In the end, Shen Yi scored an average of 65 Points out of the perfect average score of 100 points. The rest of the tofu fish soup was given to the audience. Those audiences ate with great interest, and they liked it. After all, they could not eat this level of dish, of course, the audience eating the food was also photographed. At the time of Tv play, some clips will be made and inserted for playback.
One dish after another was served to Food Judges, Some of them scored high, while others scored low. The highest average score was 92, while the lowest average score was 45. Zhou Xian was merciless and gave 0 points to two Chefs. No wonder Zhou Xian was cursed by so many people. He really didn’t know how to take care of others’ feelings. Although Su Jing has no ill-feeling towards him, after all, he has been praised all the time, but sometimes he can’t help thinking that if he doesn’t restrain a little, wouldn’t he have to worry about being hit with a bat on the way.
Soon, all the Chef’s dishes has been made and commented upon. The hostess looked to Su Jing and asked, “Mr. Su, have you not finished yet?” Although there is no time limit for this competition, you can’t always keep people waiting for you.
“Wait a minute and a half.” Su Jing then grabbed the live salmon and put it on a cutting board, he took out an extremely thin and sharp knife. Seeing this scene, Lin Hao, Xiao Rui, Shi Lei, Junior Sisters, and others all had their eyes brightened.
