But before they could take a closer look, Sha Zhu happily walked towards the judges' seat with a plate in his hand.

If the fish-flavored shredded pork that Chen Jun usually makes can get a score of ten, then I’d like to give today’s dish twelve points!

It smelled so good that Shazhu swallowed his saliva several times on the way to deliver the food.

When the dish of shredded pork with fish flavor was delivered to the judges' table, the five judges sitting there couldn't help but sniff.

But that was all they did. They tried their best to keep a straight face and appear calm.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks, took a bite, and quickly wrote a score on the table.

Sha Zhu stretched his head to try to see the score, but the judges were so secretive that none of them took a fancy to him.

However, there was one behavior that surprised Sha Zhu. That was that the fish-flavored pork shreds that had been tasted was taken away by a young man. Looking in the direction, Sha Zhu saw Director Yang who was chatting and laughing.

Hey!

No wonder Director Yang insisted on following, it turns out he knew he could get a good meal.

Not bad, this will avoid wasting food.

"Boom!!"

A gong sounded, and the preliminary round of the cooking competition came to an end.

"time up!"

"All contestants please put down the kitchen utensils in your hands immediately, otherwise you will be eliminated."

Chen Jun, who was quite bored, glanced at the situation around him. None of the dozens of participating chefs were good at it, and all of them had completed their entries.

Take another look at the dishes prepared by the contestants.

Hey!

It can be described as varied.

There are simple and common ones, like the shredded pork with fish flavor made by Chen Jun, and there are also more flamboyant and unique ones, such as the flying dragon and phoenix dish just served to the judges.

This contestant carved a phoenix and a dragon out of a carrot, making them look very fancy.

It’s so fancy that many people haven’t guessed what this dish is about.

You can't just chew carrots.

But this knife skill is very worthy of recognition, at least better than the master chef of Fengdenglou.

Chen Jun estimated in his mind the difficulty of carving this radish, and it would take him ten minutes even if he did it.

It can be seen that some of the contestants participating in this competition are well prepared.

On the other side, here is Director Yang.

Many factory managers gathered together to taste the delicious food that was delivered, feeling both happy and nervous.

They were happy because they could eat a lot of delicious food, but they were nervous because they didn't know what rank their contestants would get.

As a factory manager, I don’t have any very detailed requirements for food. I can only judge whether it is delicious or not.

"Hey, look at this dragon sculpture, it must be the chef that Director Wang brought here."

"It's carved in fancy ways, but the taste is just average. What kind of cuisine is this fried radish with green beans? This is the first time I've seen it."

"Besides, you just don't have much knowledge. This must be a Jiangnan dish."

"Hey, why is there a plate of shredded pork with fish flavor? Which chef is competing to make this kind of home-cooked dish?" someone asked, pointing at the shredded pork with fish flavor.

It’s not that Fish-flavored Shredded Pork is not considered good, but because it is too common. People often come across this dish when they go out to eat.

Compared with the other players, it is really too simple.

Upon hearing this, Director Yang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with some pride: "Our factory chef cooked it and it tastes very good!"

Director Yang was not worried at all about what dishes Chen Jun would cook, because he felt that whatever Chen Jun cooked would be delicious.

Even if it was a simpler dish of fried shredded potatoes, Director Yang felt it could advance to the next round.

"Hahahahaha, I've heard for a long time that a capable cook has come to the steel mill. I think his name is Master Chen, right? But today I saw him and it seems to be just like that." A round-faced man with a mustache said disdainfully, "This is so homely, I'm afraid he will be eliminated in the first round."

As soon as these words were spoken, Director Yang looked over and found that the person who had just spoken was Director Wu of the Sijiucheng Electron Tube Factory.

Although the electron tube factory was established only a few years ago, it has developed rapidly in recent years because it is one of the more than 100 key projects of the Russian Federation.

Director Wu was transferred here and he is a bit flamboyant.

"Yes, the chef in our factory at least cooked a Hangzhou dish, which was extremely delicious."

"Look at my fish. It's definitely more delicious than your dish."

Some factory managers took the opportunity to stir up trouble, while others said a few good words for Factory Manager Yang.

But Director Yang didn't care about it at all. What a crappy electron tube factory. What's the point of making all these fancy things?

When it comes to food, taste must come first!

So Director Yang confidently pointed to the fish-flavored pork shreds made by Chen Jun and said, "Try it, you will definitely find something new."

Seeing that Director Yang was so calm, the others picked up their chopsticks and took a bite.

In fact, many people present had heard of the name of Master Chen from the steel mill, especially the Mao Xiong team, who had stayed at the steel mill for so long, seemingly all because of the delicious hospitality dishes at the steel mill.

Therefore, many factory managers came up with the idea of ​​sending chefs to steel rolling mills for further training.

I happened to meet Master Chen at the cooking competition today, and I was able to taste his cooking.

Seven or eight factory managers took turns picking up their chopsticks, and suddenly fell silent after eating.

Even Director Wu of the electron tube factory, who had the most arrogant attitude just now, couldn't help but frown.

About three or five minutes later, the director of the machinery factory gave Director Yang a thumbs up.

"It has to be Master Chen. A simple dish of shredded pork with fish flavor can make people amazed. I admire you so much!"

"Yes, I originally thought that all shredded pork with fish flavor had the same taste, but I didn't expect that this dish had just the right blend of sour, spicy, sweet and salty, and the fish flavor was also very good. If I hadn't seen the age of Master Chen with my own eyes, I would have thought that a chef from Diaoyutai had come to mess with things."

"Hiss, I've heard that the food in the steel mill canteen is delicious. The bread they made recently is also very popular. Many employees in our factory have asked people from the steel mill to bring them bread!" Director Hou of the textile factory said with a smile.

Director Hou was a kind-looking man and he took the initiative to nod to Director Yang.

Director Yang replied with a smile, feeling extremely happy.

At the same time, he was also guessing what specific ranking Chen Jun's dish would get.

To be honest, he had never thought about getting first place. After all, all the contestants were experts, but getting into the top five should not be a problem, right?

As long as he makes it to the finals, Chen Jun will prepare seriously, and then he might be able to fight for the championship.

Just as I was thinking about it, the piercing sound of electricity came from the loud speaker not far away again.

When the sound faded, the judges' voices came out from the loud speaker.

"The preliminary round is over, and now the list of finalists is announced."

"The Third Textile Factory, Xu Xinghuo!"

"The second largest steel plant in the north, Nanyi!"

......

"Red Star Steel Mill, Chen Jun."
