Chapter 1245 The Way of the Mean!
Ye Honglei's wonderful performance in the first round shocked many people's chins and successfully made audiences from all over the country know that China is prepared this time.
Ye Honglei is a person who rarely speaks, but he is worried that Sun Shichao is currently lying in the hospital. He believes that Sun Shichao cannot participate in the competition, and must have encountered a plot by someone with ill intentions. Therefore, Ye Honglei, who has always been calm, used his "spiritual blade" to use his special skills in the first game.
This set of sword techniques comes from his master, Yanshan famous chef Cheng Lingguang. According to legend, when Cheng Lingguang was young, he saved a dying homeless man in the war. In order to repay his kindness, the homeless man taught this set of sword techniques to Cheng Lingguang.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Cheng Lingguang entered the local municipal party committee guesthouse under the introduction of his relatives and accidentally used this set of sword techniques. Later, many people were amazed by them. Everyone named this set of sword techniques after Cheng Lingguang.
Ye Honglei was the fourth disciple Cheng Lingguang received. When he was young, Ye Honglei had the most dull personality, so Cheng Lingguang disliked this disciple the most. However, when Cheng Lingguang was 80 years old, he suddenly realized that the one who passed on his set of spiritual light blades was Ye Honglei.
It is no exaggeration to describe Ye Honglei as a latecomer.
He became a disciple at the age of fifteen and joined the Chinese Cooking Association at the age of forty-five. During his thirty years, he became the chef's position step by step in a not-so-famous city.
Although the restaurant in the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse is not very famous, its business is booming, and all of them are regular customers who are word of mouth.
One year, an official from the provincial department tasted Ye Honglei's dishes and praised it all the time. The province was preparing to hold a global investment promotion conference. If a chef needed to cook local specialties, he fell in love with Ye Honglei.
Although Ye Honglei has no experience in large-scale events, he handles things with great rigor and steady. Not only did he successfully complete the tasks, but he cooked many famous local dishes, which were sought after by foreign guests.
Ye Honglei took this opportunity to be transferred to Longxing Tianxia Group. He successfully participated in several large-scale events, all of which showed excellent abilities and became the soul of Longxing Tianxia Group's back kitchen.
Therefore, such an outstanding figure who is steady and steady will not fade even if he stands on the world stage.
Pulitzer's eyes showed a solemn look, but he didn't expect that there would be such a lot of pressure in the preliminary round.
There are many experts in the European competition area, and they are free and relaxed from beginning to end.
The second game was to test the spoon skills, and the title was Curry.
To put it simply, the so-called cooking is actually to use fire as a medium to mix ingredients, fully oxidize them, and through the chemical reaction of ingredients, forming something different from the original one.
Curry is a good sauce, but after mixing various ingredients, it will be made up, so for a good chef, curry is also an enemy.
Therefore, the topic of the second dish is a huge test for all the chefs on site.
Pulitzer was not taking it lightly, his eyes became solemn, he held a spoon in his right hand and a wok in his left hand. His wrist exerted force, the spoon flew, the golden sauce boiled in the air, the ingredients seemed to be frozen in the air, and the fireworks lingered in the magical world.
The camera couldn't help but lock his eyes on Pulitzer. He was confident and strong. Every move was as accurate as a textbook. A scent of something that seemed to be there and nothing, scattered in the red flames and white smoke.
"Plitzer seemed to have become serious. It seems that the failure of the first game inspired

He has his fighting spirit.”
"Even if you become serious, so what? From the momentum, our Teacher Ye is not at all inferior."
"I didn't expect the cooking competition to be so beautiful, it feels much more interesting than the competitive competition."
"Cooking competitions abroad have always attracted much attention, but they are rarely held in China. Because domestic catering companies are busy making money, who can free up time to organize such competitions?"
"When I was a child, my mother liked to watch "Diet Daily" that was played in the morning. She occasionally learned to make one, but the taste was not satisfactory."
"Because the host is not a professional chef, that host is now going to be an actor and a director."
There has been a hot discussion on the Internet. Compared with the first knife skills competition, the second spoon skills seem more intense.
Studio.
The host asked Zhou Chong, "You seem to be very nervous."
Zhou Chong nodded, "I made a cold sweat for Teacher Ye. The biggest gap between Chinese and Western food is not knife skills, but spoon skills. Because many Western foods are fryed, and more shovels are used, and some stews are also stirred with cross shovels. Unexpectedly, Pulitzer also uses spoons when cooking, and it is not a Western-style small spoon, but a custom spoon that is very similar to Chinese-style spoons.
Moreover, although Pulitzer's move to stir the pot is different from the way we use domestic cook pot, its amplitude is very small. Through the supplement of techniques, the ingredients have sufficient space and time to contact oxygen during the process of lifting up. This technique is fresh and ingenious, which is amazing."
"Then who do you think has a greater chance of winning this round?"
Zhou Chong shook his head and felt embarrassed, "The basic skills are very solid. It depends on which of the food cooked by Teacher Ye and Pulitzer is better able to conquer the judges' taste buds."
...
Qiao Zhi frowned and thoughtfully. He had studied Pulitzer so many times, and it was the first time he saw him look so serious. This shows that Ye Honglei really put great pressure on him.
Qiao Zhi felt proud inside that this was the charm of Chinese food.
Although Western food is the mainstream, Chinese chefs are definitely the most well-trained and hard-working group of chefs from all countries.
Qiao Zhi seemed to see a scene.
Ye Honglei practiced the spoon skills hard back then, in winter, in the three nines and three days of summer.
He had a sandbag tied to his arm and iron sand in the pot. He kept scooping the pot with his wrists and scooping up the iron sand with a spoon at a time.
Although Pulitzer is a genius, Ye Honglei's diligence has made up for the gap in talent.
Although many people were attracted by Pulitzer's spoon skills, Qiao Zhi saw Ye Honglei's calmness and solidity.
The preliminaries test the chefs' solidity.
Pulitzer was the first to complete his work. He chose Indian curry, which paid attention to the combination of spices. The color was golden and yellow. It looked like a common Indian curry chicken nuggets, but it was unique on the plate. Small squares were sprinkled with golden sauce, and decorated with five-pointed stars cut from lemon slices as decoration.
The main judge sitting in the middle picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. The thick curry wrapped in chicken and ate it into his mouth. It was not as spicy as expected, but the strong smell passed through his throat, leaving a spiciness, and it had a strong stamina.
"No, there is a very special smell in this curry. Yes, it is the fragrance of mint. This fragrance is added during the stir-frying curry paste. Only by distinguishing the mint water from the curry with a spoon can this be achieved
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The level of distinction between the clear and distinction is really amazing.”
Another judge nodded slightly, "The chicken tastes very tender. The curry chicken cooked by ordinary chefs are usually stewed, and the meat is relatively ripe, but Pulitzer uses his exquisite cooking skills to retain the tenderness of the chicken. Unfortunately, it is too few, only a small bite, which is really unsatisfactory."
The judges in front of the camera finished all Pulitzer's works. Even though they didn't know what the judges said, everyone knew the result. Pulitzer's Indian curry chicken seemed simple, but it had conquered the judges' taste buds.
Ye Honglei's works are sorted by time and are the fifth one being brought to the judges.
Netizens who support Ye Honglei are beginning to worry.
"Master Ye should be quicker. It's a loss to serve it in the middle. The judges were full in front of them, and everything they ate in the middle was boring."
"You have to believe in the professionalism of the judges. However, only Pulitzer's dishes were eaten in the first few dishes, which shows that he is very strong, and Grandmaster Ye's game is very dangerous."
The judges tasted Ye Honglei's work. After the main judge tasted it, he subconsciously showed a shock on his face. Then, he stuffed all the remaining dishes into his mouth with a fork.
The same is true for the other judges.
The audience in the field began to get excited because the preliminaries of the first group were obviously a match between Pulitzer and Ye Honglei.
Ye Honglei led by a slight advantage in the first game, and Pulitzer showed an extremely serious attitude in the second game. With the recognition of the judges' "Changpan", he chased and fought hard again, and also received praise from the "Changpan".
In comparison, Ye Honglei's works are more valuable when they are CD-ROMs. After all, it was the conclusion drawn after tasting the works of the first five people.
"The dish that Teacher Ye cooks is curry yellow croaker, but he does not use the traditional Western cooking method to "stew" it, but uses the "stew" method! The traditional chops include red chops, white chops, fish fragrant chops, oyster sauce chops, chicken oil chops, etc., and Teacher Ye actually uses curry chops, which is very ingenious.
There is a requirement for a large spoon to turn, which requires the movements to be clean and coordinated. Moreover, Teacher Ye also pays attention to this dish. He uses the use of turning the spoon a few times before the spoon is released and dragging it down from right to left along the plate. The purpose of this is to keep the ingredients neat and beautiful."
If those people on the live broadcast platform hear Qiao Zhi’s interpretation, they will know that Zha Chong’s comments are more amateur.
"Scores are starting!"
"So nervous!"
"Ye Honglei ranked first in 96.5 points, Pulitzer ranked second in 96 points..."
"Teacher Ye won the lead again in the second round, widening the gap to 0.7 points."
Pulitzer did not expect that Ye Honglei still showed strong combat power in the second game. He showed a solemn look in his eyes, and a possibility flashed in his mind.
Will I really lose to Ye Honglei?
This is absolutely impossible!
Pulitzer is very confident in his cooking skills. He has communicated and discussed with many chef gods on the Dragon List, and he has long reached the realm of chef gods on the Dragon List!
This is definitely a coincidence!
Pulitzer calmed down...
From the beginning of the wind and clouds, to the seriousness and attentiveness just now, to the breath holding one's mind now...
