The competition began very quickly, and the rules were very simple.
The rules were roughly to make three dishes respectively. The requirements were: one that was his specialty, and the other two that suited everyone's tastes.
Jiang Chen could understand the meaning behind this rule.
First of all, it was a test of a person's expertise in cooking. Secondly, it was a test of a chef's ability to adapt to the situation.
The fact that she could come up with this rule undoubtedly meant that Teresa was indeed taking this matter very seriously.
Since it was a competition, there would naturally be a referee.
As for the judges, they were none other than Mai.
At this moment, the four of them were sitting behind a small table, and a scoreboard was erected on each of their tables.
"Can we start now?"
In front of the kitchen stove, Mai was wearing a very casual knee-length dress. Her black hair was tied up, making her look capable and beautiful.
Jiang Chen nodded as his eyes fell on the set of knives on the stove in front of him. He gradually fell into deep thought.
What were these knives for?
On the referee's seat, Delisa saw Jiang Chen freeze on the spot and couldn't help but be confused.
"Bronia, what do you think he's doing? Could it be that he's giving way to Mai?"
Bronia looked at Jiang Chen, who was deep in thought, and then said with a blank expression.
" Bronia thinks that he simply doesn't recognize those knives and isn't trying to make Sister Mai feel better.”
"Eh, it can't be?" Delisa looked surprised." Isn't he applying to be a chef? How could he not even recognize a knife?”
She turned to Jiang Yao and blinked.
"Little girl, is what Bronia said true?”
At this moment, Jiang Yao was so anxious that she almost stood up. She was not in the mood to answer the question, so she only replied vaguely.
"Ah, I-I don't know. B-Dad might be thinking about what dish to cook.”
Although she said that, she knew very well that her father probably couldn't even tell salt from sugar, let alone recognize knives.
After all, she had never seen Jiang Chen enter the kitchen.
When she saw how confident Jiang Chen was, she thought her father was going to create another miracle, but now, it turned out that miracles weren't cheap.
What to do, what to do?
Jiang Chen naturally didn't know what others were thinking. After staring at the pile of knives for a long time, he helplessly took out a book from his pocket.
Mai, who was currently flying up and down on the chopping board, also saw this scene and couldn't help but stop.
Damn, when she looked at it, she almost froze.
" New Oriental Super Chef's Quick Secrets "
Was this a last-minute cram?
Mai held her forehead helplessly, suddenly regretting her impulsive decision to issue this challenge.
But with this thought in mind, Mai politely stopped what she was doing and turned to Jiang Chen.
"Hello, how can I help you?”
Jiang Chen put down the book in his hand and shook his head.
"No, I'm looking for a dish that can be cooked without knives.”
"Hmm?" Mai was stunned for a moment before she suddenly realized what was going on." You mean to say that you were cooking according to the recipe?”
"Yeah, why? Is there a problem?”
Jiang Chen flipped the book in his hand so that the other party could read it.
This kind of thing was very normal. He was a newbie, so he couldn't just blindly think about it.
Wouldn't it save a lot of time and effort if he brought along a recipe book?
" After all, if a chef like you can do it, as long as I follow the exact method, the taste will be the same.
Why not do such a time-saving and energy-saving thing?
Mai looked at the pictures of various dishes in the book in front of her and instantly fell silent.
Before, she thought Jiang Chen was holding a tool identification guide, but now it seemed that she underestimated the thickness of this person's skin.
Forget it.
Mai retracted her gaze and silently returned to her own stove. However, she no longer had the same passion as before when she cut the vegetables.
How should he put it? It was a little boring.
Jiang Chen didn't notice Mai's change.
At this time, he was very immersed in making his first dish.
First, he found a big steamer, then took out a big bowl, a few eggs, and an unopened bottle of fresh milk.
"The first step is to beat one-third of the egg into the bowl and mix the milk in the same proportion.”
Jiang Chen carefully read the operation analysis in the book as he scrambled to break the eggs into the bowl.
"The above steps will be repeated three times. Each time, you must fuse the perfect milk.”
With a learning mentality, Jiang Chen followed what the book said.
And in the end, he got a bowl of pure, bright, snow-white egg liquid that was as flawless as jade.
Mai and the other four judges on the judges 'seats looked over when they noticed this scene.
"Eh, can milk and eggs be made so beautifully?”
Other than Mai, who had reached the advanced level of culinary skills, the rest of the people present, including Delisa and Bronia, were all half-baked.
That was why he was curious about this phenomenon.
Mai was also surprised that Jiang Chen could do this.
However, after the shock, she quickly calmed down.
This was just made according to the recipe. Any other person could do it.
She wasn't being arrogant, but she simply felt that there was no reason for her hard-earned culinary skills to lose to someone who cooked according to a recipe.
Under everyone's surprised or calm gaze, Jiang Chen finally began the last step of processing the ingredients.
Put it in the steamer.
Of course, Jiang Chen didn't stay idle during the process as he began to prepare the ingredients for the next dish.
Of course, because he didn't know how to use knives, he deliberately avoided the dishes that needed to be cut with knives.
For example, cucumbers, eggs, and so on.
By the time the auxiliary ingredients were almost cut and prepared, the steamed eggs on the other side of the steamer were almost ready.
Jiang Chen quickly took it out of the pot with gloves.
However, before serving it, he deliberately divided the big bowl of egg custard into a few small portions and presented them to different bowls.
After doing all this, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and looked at Mai.
At this moment, Mai had also finished preparing her first portion of food.
It was a large bowl of curry potato chicken.
Just by looking at the chocolate-like color, Jiang Chen could already imagine how delicious it would taste.
