From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 273 Scores second, still needs to improve

All eyes at the scene fell on each of the judges.

The young chefs participating in the competition are all looking forward to what kind of ratings their dishes will receive in the second competition.

Are you also concerned about the score of our dishes in the first game?

You can have a general positioning of your own results.

Starting from the second game, the organizer specially prepared a scoring list for the judges.

These include: color, aroma, taste, shape, utensils and creativity. these six scoring items.

The full score for each item is ten points, and the judges will rate the dishes individually on site.

Ultimately, organizers are counting.

After removing the highest and lowest scores, the average score for each dish is calculated.

Xia Hui's dish score today was ranked 13th, and she failed to enter the top ten.

Sun Hai said at this time: "If we talk about taste, I think Uncle Zhang's sea sausage rice tastes great."

Feng Zhengming shook his head and said, "I think your brother should have the highest score in the second game. His Kongfu imitation bear paw was really great."

Among them, Zhang Lei did not make it into the top 20, and his dish today only ranked 22nd.

The third place was a young chef from Tai Fung House who cooked orchid braised chicken with minced tofu.

Yang Peng will enter the top 20. He scored 17th today.

After hearing this, Feng Zhengming said: "Brother Six, you should put more thought into color, shape, and utensils, and be a little creative. You should be able to get high scores."

"It's pretty good. I can get this score. I feel quite satisfied with it."

Luo Qing was a little curious after hearing this: "I wonder how your dish tastes?"

Feng Zhengming and others stood among the young chefs, and everyone was still looking forward to the scores of their dishes.

After the 11th place score was announced, Feng Zhengming, his sixth senior brother Zhang Minghai, and Xia Hui's younger brother Xia Mingye were confirmed to be in the top ten.

Sixth senior brother Zhang Minghai also agreed: "Yes, the imitation bear paws made by Kong Mansion are indeed very good. It is probably the highest score in this competition."

Several people were talking. At the same time, the young chefs participating in the competition were also guessing, how many points would they get? Who else’s dish will get the highest score?

The fifth place is Jufengde Duan Jinsheng’s dish, yellow croaker and tofu soup.

At the same time, several people were also talking about the scores of Feng Zhengming and Xia Mingye.

Xia Hui still insisted on her own point of view: "I still think my uncle can get the highest score. His creativity is very good, and he brings out the characteristics of the materials, and the taste is also very good."

Among them, the sixth place is Zhang Minghai’s sea sausage rice.

Feng Zhengming laughed: "Hahaha, Sixth Brother, don't blame me for turning my elbows outward. Although your sea sausage rice tastes great, I still think the Kongfu imitation bear paw will get the highest score."

When the top five dishes were announced, the dishes were also displayed to everyone at the scene.

After learning the score, Zhang Minghai was quite satisfied.

Not only the total score is given, but also the score of each item of each dish is given.

This average score is the final score of each dish.

Fourth place is a traditional dish, scallops with hibiscus.

Duan Jinsheng showed the soup dishes in advance.

Entering the top five.

Everyone makes statistics separately, and also calculates the average score of each dish and writes it at the end of the table for each dish.

Xia Hui felt that Feng Zhengming's dish should get the highest score.

Finally, the scores of today’s dishes were announced on the spot.

When Feng Zhengming heard this, he immediately said: "Yes, there is also Sixth Brother's sea sausage rice. Sixth Brother's dish tastes very good and should be able to get high marks."

In this way, it can be regarded as giving everyone present a clear scoring standard.

Xia Hui immediately said: "Although I didn't eat it, seeing the judges' expressions when they tasted it, I think they all thought it was delicious."

Feng Zhengming said: "When I have the opportunity, I will make it for you once so that everyone can have a try."

Among the various ratings, Zhang Minghai scored relatively high in terms of aroma and taste, his scores in color, shape, and utensils were a little above the average, and his score in creativity was slightly lower.

Zhang Minghai laughed and joked: "Why didn't you say that I should have the highest score?"

In order to tally the scores, the on-site organizers also mobilized many personnel from the Culinary Association.

Zhang Minghai said with a smile: "Those are the directions for my progress. I will definitely study hard and make progress."

Report each dish from the lowest score to the highest score.

Above Yang Peng is Sun Hai 16th.

Feng Zhengming smiled and asked, "You don't seem to have eaten the food I cooked, right? Are you so sure that the food I cooked tastes good?"

The scores of some of the previous dishes are basically not very high.

It seems that I want everyone to see why each dish in the top five can get high scores?

Everyone who saw the three dishes on the spot felt that they were indeed very beautiful and fit the ranking they deserved.

When the third place was announced, the top two were already locked in, Feng Zhengming and Xia Mingye.

Everyone is guessing now, who will score higher in the end?

Li Zhifeng also knows that everyone is curious about the last two?

So he deliberately smiled and said: "I think everyone should know who the last two are. They are Xia Mingye's Kongfu imitation bear paws and Feng Zhengming's braised chestnut pigeon."

Speaking of this, Li Zhifeng said to Feng Zhengming and Xia Mingye: "You two, come up."

Feng Zhengming and Xia Mingye looked at each other, wondering whether they should go up?

After Li Zhifeng invited them up for the second time, Feng Zhengming and Xia Mingye walked up.

Seeing the two people coming up, Li Zhifeng asked with a smile: "Who do you think scored higher among the two of you today?"

Feng Zhengming and Xia Mingye looked at each other.

Then Feng Zhengming spoke first: "I think it should be Kongfu's imitation bear paw. His dish is indeed very good. Just in terms of the skill of removing the bones, I have to admit it."

Xia Mingye quickly said: "Uncle, didn't you also remove the bones of pigeons?"

Feng Zhengming said with a smile: "I cooked it and then deboned it. It's not the same difficulty as yours of deboning raw pig's trotters."

Xia Mingye said: "But your dishes are somewhat innovative. Mine are just traditional Confucian dishes, so in terms of innovation, you should still score high."

The two men humiliated each other in full public view, each citing reasons why the other should win first place. Listening to what the two said, everyone really couldn't find any problems. It seemed that both of them were right.

The two of them gave in to each other for a while.

Finally, Li Zhifeng said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it seems that you two have given high praise to each other's dishes, so let's see the final score from the judges."

Li Zhifeng did not make everyone wait this time and directly announced the final first and second place.

"Okay, the first place dish is Kong's imitation bear paw, and the second place is Braised Chestnut Pigeon."

Such a rating result did not cause much exclamation at the scene.

After all, everyone saw two dishes with their own eyes.

Therefore, the two dishes received high scores and everyone agreed with them.

Li Zhifeng gave a reason for the judges' score.

"After deliberation, the judges finally decided to give the highest score to Kong Mansion's imitation bear paw. The reason for this is, on the one hand, Xia Mingye, you did a really good job, bringing out the characteristics of that dish and showing off your Kong Mansion imitation bear paw. The deboning skills of the dishes are very good, and they really deserve this high score.

On the other hand, it is because your dish represents a kind of inheritance. This kind of inheritance is an expected result of this competition. I hope everyone can see more inheritance in you young people. "

After explaining the reasons why Xia Mingye got the highest score, Li Zhifeng said a few words to Feng Zhengming.

"The dishes you cooked today Zhengming were also very good. You made some innovations in the tradition and made something new. Especially the way you chose the pigeons and brought out the characteristics of the pigeons. It is really a blessing to all of us. You have learned a lesson, so your efforts are worthy of recognition.”

Feng Zhengming smiled and said, "Thank you, President Li."

Xia Mingye continued: "Thank you, President, and thank you to the judges for giving me the highest score. I really didn't expect it."

Li Zhifeng said: "Hahaha, it's okay if you didn't expect it. If everyone can think of the result in advance, wouldn't our competition be meaningless?"

Everyone at the scene felt that what Li Zhifeng said was right.

The game must have uncertainty, which will make the game more exciting and anticipated.

Afterwards, Li Zhifeng announced the scores of the first game.

The scores from the two games are added together, and the organizers also give a ranking.

Then Feng Zhengming's scores from the two games were added up, and he was temporarily ranked first.

Seeing that Feng Zhengming was the first, Luo Qing was very happy and excitedly applauded and cheered for him.

"Great, you're number one."

Feng Zhengming saw Luo Qing clapping and cheering, and said with a smile: "This is temporary. There is still a final dish competition. It's hard to say whether we can get the first place."

As soon as Feng Zhengming finished speaking, the master's voice came from beside him.

"It's really hard to say. The points difference between the second-placed Xia Mingye and you is not much. The following ones also have opportunities. You still need to work hard."

Seeing the master coming, Feng Zhengming promised seriously: "Don't worry, master, I will definitely prepare the last dish well."

Master Yan said: "The last dish is soup. You really need to prepare it carefully and not be careless."

Sixth senior brother Zhang Minghai said: "Master, there is nothing wrong with the soup. His fried conch slices in vinegar and pepper fish soup last time. If you use them, I think he should be able to win the first place this time."

Chef Yan immediately rejected this dish.

"He has already made that dish once last time. He can't make that dish all the time. He should have some new ideas and be able to show some skills."

Hearing what Master said, Zhang Minghai nodded immediately: "Master is right, there should be new innovations."

Luo Qing thought for a moment and said, "Master, I think it's okay to continue making that dish. Last time I made it in Jubinyuan, this time I made it at the Provincial Young Chefs Cooking Exchange Competition. The place is different. "

Chef Yan said with a smile: "You are right, Ronaldinho. It is not impossible if Zhengming continues to cook that dish, but it will lack some promotion for him. If a chef wants to cook a dish well, he must persist In addition to traditional craftsmanship, it is more important to have your own innovations and dare to challenge yourself."

After hearing this, Luo Qing thought about it carefully and felt that Master Yan was right.

"Master, you are right. I did not consider that he needs to continue to improve."

Master Yan said: "Yes, one must maintain an apprentice's heart, constantly research and innovate, and continuously improve one's craftsmanship, so as not to be eliminated by the times. One trick may lead to an advantage in a short time. But after all, it is not a long-term solution. Only by constantly making progress and making new things based on tradition can we remain invincible."

Speaking of which, Master Yan mentioned Xia Mingye's Kong Mansion imitation bear paw again today.

"Today Xia Mingye's Confucian imitation bear paw dish seems to only demonstrate the bone-breaking skills of Confucian cuisine, but in fact he also made some innovations. He not only stuffed beef and chicken into the deboned pig's trotters, but also made some other innovations. I also added some tendons to make the whole dish more unique, and I also made some changes in the seasoning.”

After introducing some innovations in Xia Mingye’s Kong Mansion Imitation Bear Paw.

Chef Yan looked at Feng Zhengming: "You absorbed some of the characteristics of yesterday's Scallop Shangchao dish and combined them to innovate your dish today. Others are also absorbing and learning from it. You are not the only one who innovates."

After listening to Master's words, Feng Zhengming understood that Master was motivating him.

In this young chef cooking exchange competition, every young chef is constantly learning.

Through exchanges, you can learn some cooking techniques from others and then incorporate them into your own dishes.

So the next final competition may be the young chefs who have really accumulated a lot of experience through the integration of various things in these days of exchange competitions.

Therefore, Feng Zhengming cannot slack off and must work hard to break through himself again.

It was not just Master Yan who was teaching and reminding Feng Zhengming.

The masters of other young chefs are also giving them some guidance.

Especially the juniors of several master masters, almost all were taught more carefully and carefully by the master masters.

They are also warning them that they must come up with more things in the final game.

At this moment, the young chefs are really working hard.

Even the young chef who did not score high in the first two games is preparing to come up with a better dish in the last competition. Although the ranking may not be improved, at least he cannot lose to his first two dishes in terms of score.

After lunch, there was more of an on-site buying and selling meeting of some special snacks in the afternoon.

In Feng Zhengming's rice shop, grandpa and his third uncle rushed to the scene with a trolley.

When the cart from the Feng Family Restaurant appeared, naturally everyone watching at the scene immediately gathered around it.

Feng Jia Gan Restaurant's pork belly has become famous in Quancheng. Now that it can be eaten at the cooking exchange competition, everyone will naturally not miss the opportunity to taste it.

Of course, in addition to the Fengjiagan Restaurant cart, there were also some other sponsors taking the opportunity to display their products.

There are also many local specialty snacks from Shandong Province, and even the very famous pancakes are also sold on site.

Throughout the afternoon, while allowing the young chefs and judges to rest, it also allowed more people to learn more about the local specialty snacks and food culture of Shandong Province through this cooking exchange competition.
