2012 The list of finalists

"Ka Cha!"

This time, the judges didn't need to poke a Camellia. Their actions were very uniform. They directly reached into the small plate and picked up a piece of white or red tea and put it into their mouths. When they picked it up, they had to be careful not to let the soup fall on their clothes.

The deep-fried double crispness dish made by Bai subo was different from the dry and refreshing one made by Yuan Zhou. There was a lot of juice on it, which should be the soup used for the gourmand. If Yuan Zhou's dish wasn't there as a comparison, Bai subo would have actually handled it very well.

There was very little soup, and each slice was evenly covered, which showed Bai subo's skill.

It was like playing a game. You were very good in Starlight, but you were still not good enough in front of the strongest in the country.

"It's very crispy. Head chef Bai must have made it many times. He has good control of the fire, but it doesn't taste as tender." Said head chef Wang after he finished eating.

"The blending of the juice and the timing of lifting the pot are just right. Bai subo's shaking of the spoon is really good." Head chef Yue said directly.

"It's turning the spoon. In the beginning, head chef Gao's shredded Chinese yam should have been a suspended turning with an assisted turning spoon. As for head chef Yuan ..." Head chef Wang paused, clearly uncertain.

Head chef Mai didn't continue on the topic of turning the spoon. Instead, he went back to the texture. "You're still lacking. "

"Can you guys not make things difficult for head chef Bai? how can you compare head chef Bai with little Yuan? just how many people can reach such a standard at head chef Bai's age?" It was rare for Zhou Shijie to say something fair.

When Zhou Shijie said that, he definitely didn't realize that Yuan Zhou was not even 30 years old. Even if he was only 30 years old in reality, he was still at the age of standing.

Bai subo was already 45 years old this year. However, the first thing that all the chefs who had communicated with Yuan Zhou or tasted his dishes would ignore was probably Yuan Zhou's age. His craftsmanship was already outstanding enough.

"Cough, cough, cough. You're right. This is indeed not bad." Head chef Wang was a little embarrassed.

"Alright, it's done over there. Let's get ready to try the next dish." Head chef Zhuang was a little embarrassed.

For a moment, everyone felt that they had been bullied, and the atmosphere was a little silent.

This time, the dishes were not divided into five portions but were placed directly on a plate because head chef Qin Hua made sweet and sour carp.

This dish was very particular about being served as a whole. It was impossible to divide it into several portions and then serve it again, as it was not appropriate.

"Old Qin's dish seems to have improved a lot." Zhou Shijie naturally knew Qin Hua well.

Qin Hua's cooking skills were a little worse than his, but not by much. That was for sure, but Zhou Shijie felt that even if it was a little worse, it was still a little worse. Therefore, the two of them were quite similar to Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang.

"Head chef Qin's dishes are indeed extraordinary. The fish barely touched the plate, but it still stands so firmly. It's clear that the heat can't be underestimated." It was head chef Mai.

Now, this sweet and sour carp had become the Golden roll's inscription, the symbol of the wedding. After all, the fish tail and head were raised up, which was very similar to the carp leaping over the Dragon's Gate, so it had an extraordinary meaning.

The essence of head chef Qin Hua's dish was that the contact between the carp and the plate was very small, only half of the fish's body. It could be seen that head chef Qin had controlled the heat quite well when frying the carp.

Of course, it was head chef Zhuang and head chef Mai who had never tasted Yuan Zhou's sweet and sour carp before.

The following process remained the same. Everyone tried head chef Qin's dish and had an idea of what to do.

On the other side, Xiao Li was also a smart girl. She saw the opportunity very quickly. When she saw that it was about time, she walked out from the side and stood in the middle of the high platform.

"This is the end of the appraisal of the fire technique of this silver spoon culinary competition. Next, let's invite Chairman Zhou Shijie to announce the two chefs who will be competing in the cooking contest tomorrow." Xiao Li shouted.

"Thank you, everyone." Obviously, Zhou Shijie was very used to such occasions. He stood up and said a few words for the sake of the occasion. Then, he went straight to the point,""The two head chefs who will enter tomorrow's Evaluation Conference are head chef Qin Hua and head chef Yuan Zhou."

"Pa pa pa pa"

A round of applause rang out in the stadium. Although it wasn't the final result, the supporters of the head chefs were naturally very happy to see the result.

Zhou Shijie didn't have the habit of keeping people in suspense. He directly said two names. Then, before Bai subo and Gao Fei could even get nervous, it had already ended.

"I knew that I'm just a sidekick wherever head chef Yuan is." After being tortured by imperial chef mo, Bai subo naturally knew more about Yuan Zhou.

Therefore, he didn't feel disappointed at all. Instead, he felt it was reasonable. After all, Yuan Zhou had the capability to do so.

However, Gao Fei was very surprised. In his plan, it should have been him and Qin Hua or at least Yuan Zhou. But this ...

Although Gao Fei was disappointed and in disbelief, he wouldn't question the results. Just by looking at the judges, he could tell that the results were absolutely fair.

He planned to come here tomorrow to see Yuan Zhou's cooking skills. Gao Fei felt that Yuan Zhou's dishes might be more delicious than his. He had to admit that. After all, he was Yuan Yafeng.

But the silver spoon Association wasn't a cooking competition. It was a competition of heat control! Gao Fei felt that he could still take a look.

"Head chef Yuan, congratulations." Bai subo considered himself as a junior. Before he left, he even came to congratulate Yuan Zhou.

Bai subo's master, imperial chef mo, was of the same generation as Yuan Zhou. That was also the reason why Bai subo was so humble.

"Thank you," he said. Yuan Zhou expressed his gratitude.

When almost everyone had left, Yuan Zhou was caught by Zhou Shijie and the others when he wanted to leave again. Then, he could only find a place in the Association with the group of Masters. They sat down and started to talk.

One of Yuan Zhou's purposes for attending the conference was naturally the silver spoon. After all, it was related to the completion of the mission. The other purpose was to exchange his experiences with the Lu cuisine grandmasters. Therefore, he didn't refuse this opportunity.

Everyone sat together and talked with fervor and assurance. They even asked others to buy lunch for them. They continued to discuss, and when they were excited, they even went to the place with the stove next door and started fighting.

As they discussed cooking, time passed by quickly. When everyone stopped, it was already the first day of the new moon.

"Alright, it's getting late. Little Yuan still has a competition tomorrow. After tomorrow, let's have another exchange." As Zhou Shijie often communicated with Yuan Zhou, he still kept his reason and noticed the time first.

"Yes, yes, yes. Head chef Yuan, you can go back and rest." Head chef Wang said hurriedly when he saw that it was already Teno' clock at night.

"Time has passed too quickly." Head chef Zhuang looked at his watch several times in disbelief before he could confirm that it was really that late.

"Alright. Thank you, head chefs. I've learned a lot today." Yuan Zhou stood up and thanked him.

After exchanging some pleasantries with each other again, they parted ways. Yuan Zhou returned to the hotel and read a book for a while before washing up and going to bed. An idea came to his mind and then flashed by. Qin Hua had really come prepared.
