Chapter 501 Unbelievable
When Sha Zhu heard this, he was shocked and quickly raised his hand and shouted, "Report to the judges, our dish is ready!"
Perhaps it was because this guy roared so loudly out of the blue that he scared several players around him.
The judges on the judges' bench were the same. The one who was sitting in an awkward position made a sound of "tsk". Then he waved at Sha Zhu and said, "Just write a report when you're done. Why are you yelling so loudly? You're scaring me."
“Bring it up!”
The judges expressed disdain, but in their hearts they were still looking forward to Chen Jun's dishes today.
The fish-flavored shredded pork from last time left him with an unforgettable memory, so today he must try this kid’s cooking skills.
"Hey!"
Sha Zhu nodded quickly, picked up two plates and walked towards the judges' seat, while Chen Jun followed behind and picked up the plate of drunken shrimps.
The judges also sat up straight at this time and examined the three dishes served.
"Well, quite good. These three dishes are top-notch in appearance, especially the Mapo Tofu. It's delicious and tasty. Let me taste it!" The judge who just spoke took the chopsticks first, carefully picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu and put it into his mouth.
Sitting on his left was the judge who was related to the machinery factory. He picked up the chopsticks and tasted the Fuqi Feipian. He said: "Although I don't like spicy food, this Fuqi Feipian is really good."
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu in the audience looked at Chen Jun beside him with a silly smile, and was happy for Chen Jun from the bottom of his heart.
The judges all praised it for being delicious, so the result must be correct!
But before he could be happy for a few seconds, the judge suddenly said, "But if it's just like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to get into the top three today!"
After saying that, he scratched his chin, carefully examined Chen Jun in the audience, and asked with some doubt: "Master Chen, this shouldn't be your level for the finals?"
Although he favors Xiao Liu from the machinery factory from the bottom of his heart, he still has professional qualities.
The quality of this dish, Fuqi Feipian, was comparable to the fish-flavored pork shreds in the preliminary round, but he always felt that Chen Jun didn't use his best effort.
I always feel that something is missing.
The judge on the far right did not say anything, but silently tasted the plate of drunken shrimp closest to him.
After eating, he frowned slightly: "The drunken shrimp is well prepared, there is nothing to complain about, but it seems a bit too monotonous."
Seeing that two of the three judges had doubts about him, Chen Jun was not in a hurry, but said calmly: "Please taste it in turn, maybe you can taste something special."
Ok?
After hearing what Chen Jun said, the three judges all became interested. The judge sitting in the middle was the most enthusiastic and tasted all three dishes one by one.
He was most optimistic about Chen Jun, so after tasting the Mapo Tofu just now, he did not comment, but listened quietly to the speeches on both sides.
The dish was fine, everything about it was fine, but I always felt like something was missing, like when you taste a delicious dish and find that you are still wanting more after finishing it.
Take a bite of the Fuqi Feipian, it’s good.
Try the Mapo Tofu, it's delicious.
Let’s have another bite of drunken shrimp, eh? ? ? ?
The judge sitting in the middle suddenly stiffened and the expression on his face froze.
After pausing for several seconds, he looked at Chen Jun with a shocked expression.
Chen Jun seemed to have guessed his reaction long ago and was looking at him with a nonchalant smile.
"You...this...is incredible, incredible!"
"Lao Niu, what's wrong with you?" the judge on the right asked in surprise.
“These three dishes are actually one dish!”
"What the hell? Three dishes, one dish? Are you crazy?" The judge on the left muttered in dissatisfaction.
Then, the two of them tasted them one by one in the order he had just tasted them.
As a result, the three people had exactly the same reactions.
The way he looked at Chen Jun was no longer like he was looking at a contestant, but as if he was looking at a monster.
Shazhu was also confused when he saw this. He scratched the back of his head helplessly, as if trying to find the answer from the faces of the three judges.
What do you mean?
What three dishes are one dish?
In fact, Chen Jun has been thinking about the product for the finals since the end of the preliminary round.
If you want to stand out from many outstanding chefs, you must not only make your food delicious but also impress the judges.
So the three dishes made today complement each other.
One tastes good on its own, but the combination of the three is truly unforgettable.
This kind of feeling is not something that can be brought by just one dish. It does not require any expensive or rare ingredients, nor does it require very complicated cooking methods, nor does it require any fancy carving or knife skills. It only uses the original flavor of the ingredients to create a chain reaction.
From the expressions of the three judges, we can tell that today is a sure win!
On the other side, in an open space not far from the judges' seats, several factory managers started discussing these three dishes.
"Tsk tsk, this young chef from the steel mill seems to have only this much skill. Previously he made shredded pork with fish sauce, and today he made mapo tofu. Did he not take this competition seriously, or is that the only skill he has in his head?"
The one who spoke was Director Wu of the electron tube factory. Last time, Chen Jun won the championship in the preliminary round, which was a slap in his face and made him feel very uncomfortable.
Now I finally got the chance to make a sarcastic remark.
"It's a bit too homely. Although Mapo Tofu and Fuqi Feipian look good, their advantages cannot be highlighted. Look at what others make, the gap is too big." A shoe factory director commented.
"And that dish of shrimp, it's too easy to make, at least fry it, it would have some flavor."
"Old Yang, Master Chen from your factory is still too young. He won the championship last time but he is a little unsteady this time. It turns out that he is just good at talking but not doing things well."
Last time, the steel rolling mill won the preliminary championship. Although they said congratulations, they were more or less jealous in their hearts.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Director Yang waved his hand with a cold face: "Although Director Chen is young, he has a very stable personality and will definitely not take the final lightly."
"Maybe there's something special about these three dishes. Look at the judges on the stage, their faces have turned abnormal."
When saying this, Director Yang felt a little unsure.
It’s not that he has no confidence in Chen Jun. He knows Chen Jun’s level very well. No matter which dish he chooses, there must be a reason for it.
Director Yang was unsure about the three judges.
What are you three doing? Your eyes are wide open. If someone doesn't know, they would think the food is poisonous.
"Your face doesn't look normal. You must be dissatisfied with the food!" Director Wu of the electron tube factory took the opportunity to say.
"Humph!"
Director Yang was too disdainful to explain to such people and waited patiently for the results.
