Chapter 358 The taste of cucumber
Just as the mix was evenly mixed, there was a tingling sound, and five minutes had come. She looked up and saw that the hourglass on the judge's table had been cleaned.
At this time, she looked at the bald uncle next to her with her own light and almost laughed out loud.
There was a cucumber on the chopping board, but it didn't cut it even with a knife...
"Okay, the time is up, first! Three people, No. 81, 83, and 90, please leave the scene!"
The judges were really not shocking and never stopped talking. They didn't even read a word. The three of them were eliminated. Ma Tianyao was worried, thinking that it would be a random choice of lucky people. This elimination is too vague. You can at least look at the dishes they cooked.
As soon as I finished muttering, I heard the judges in the middle explain with a smile.
"As chefs, not only do you have to make delicious dishes, but food safety is the top priority. You three have saved even the process of washing vegetables. May I ask three, are you not washing vegetables at home?"
The three of them were embarrassed and wanted to explain something, their faces flushed. When the director waved his hand, the three of them could only turn around and leave.
"This player No. 89, although you washed this cucumber very clean, the rule of our competition is to make cold cuts within five minutes, so..."
No. 89 is the bald uncle next to Ma Tianyao. Unexpectedly, this person is not ashamed at all. He smiled and nodded, as if he was quite humble in accepting the judges' words.
"Okay, the rest of the people will bring up their own cold cuts."
Well, in just thirty seconds, four of them had been eliminated. The remaining six people took the plates on the stage and placed them on the judges' table. The three judges looked at them without eating, and then nodded or shook their heads. After about ten seconds, they each picked up the chopsticks and started to taste them. Some of them ate and vomited, while others just picked up and smelled them.
However, when the three judges tasted Ma Tianyao's green onions, they all frowned, and then looked at each other. The one on the left tasted the second bite, nodded and put down the chopsticks.
The three judges looked at each other and seemed to have an idea, but the one in the middle spoke with a smile.
"First of all, I want to congratulate you six. Strictly speaking, these six dishes have met our minimum requirements and are barely considered cold dishes. However, for two people, No. 82 and No. 84, you just flattened the cucumber and added some vinegar. Whether it is the taste or the aesthetics of the plate, they are much worse."
The judge on the right nodded deeply and commented on others.
"Three digits No. 85, 86, 87, one is sliced, one is cut into pieces, and the other is cut into pieces. Some add salt, MSG, etc., but maybe because of time, you cut it too thick and the taste has not been integrated. The most important thing is that you didn't taste the taste of cucumber at all..."
“What does cucumber taste?”
Everyone was stunned by this, especially these three people. They thought you would be eliminated if you were eliminated. Why do you find so many reasons? What else can the taste of cucumber be special?
As a result, it was really slapped in the face. The judges waved their hand and the three of them picked up the washed cucumbers and tasted them, but their faces changed.
"This...this...this cucumber...how is it sweet?"
The contestant No. 86 seemed to be a foreigner, talking to himself in a funny dialect, and the judges smiled.
"Haha, everyone, this is not an ordinary cucumber. Haven't you seen these cucumbers without thorns? This is a modified fruit cucumber. Because it tastes sweet and crispy, it is suitable for eating raw. But you basically add vinegar to it. Can this taste be good?"
The three contestants each looked depressed, and the judge asked with a smile.
"As chefs, you can't even understand the ingredients in your hands. This is really not what you should do..."
After saying that, he looked at the judge on the left again. The judge on the left smiled and said with a smile.
"Now I'll review the cold cut of No. 88. This should be a dish of shallots and tofu, right? Unfortunately, we didn't prepare tofu today, but... just talking about your knife skills, it's the best among these ten. Look, the chopped green onion and green onion leaves are all the same size and shape, which shows the knife skills of No. 88. Hehe, from this, it seems that No. 88 should be fine in the next round of the qualifiers."
The judge seemed particularly fond of this dish of tofu with only half a piece of green onion, picked up the chopsticks and tasted it again, and nodded with a smile.
"The taste of this cold dish is also superb. The combination of various seasonings is appropriate. By the way, this contestant, I would like to ask, your green onion leaves and whites are cut into diamond shapes. Do you want to add points to the placing? "
A plate of diamond-shaped green onion leaves is green, and the white onion white is white. When mixed, it looks like a plate of diamond-shaped gems, which looks a bit sensory enjoyable. Of course, this is just a comparison with the rotten cucumbers next to it.
Ma Tianyao smiled and shook her head.
"No, I... The reason I cut it into diamond shapes is to make the green onion leaves more delicious. If you cut it diagonally, the adhesion surface of the green onion will increase, which will improve the taste faster in a short period of time."
Speaking of this, the three judges looked at each other. To be honest, they had never thought about what Ma Tianyao said, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this moment.
The judge in the middle smiled and looked at the two people on both sides, lowered his head and communicated for a few words, and announced to the camera.
"Okay, this group of competition is almost the same. I announced that the ones who advanced to the 81st to 90th are players No. 88! Congratulations!"
When Ma Tianyao heard this result, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and her mouth cracked and showed a super ugly smile. At this time, the bald uncle who had not left beside her asked with a smile.
"Guess... why didn't I cut this cucumber?"
Ma Tianyao turned his head and looked at him, but couldn't answer. He thought to himself... Could it be that this neurotic bald uncle didn't know what to do because he found that this cucumber was not an ordinary cucumber? He didn't do it because he didn't do it because he didn't have enough time?
If this is true, then this uncle is really a master, at least a little smarter than other contestants.
Thinking of this, she was a little scared. She looked at the three judges and the fruit and vegetable warehouse behind her, and secretly smacked her tongue, thinking that this was not a fruit and vegetable warehouse, it was obviously a trap for all the contestants.
Generally, players will choose the best cucumber if they go in for five minutes without thinking carefully. But if they really choose cucumber, they will completely enter other people's trap. If this kind of fruit cucumber is treated as an ordinary cucumber and vinegar, then it will be over.
At this time, Ma Tianyao realized that this competition was far less simple than he thought. She touched her forehead and was already sweating. I don’t know if it was hot or scared.
When he went downstairs, the assistant director gave her a piece of paper.
"This is the time and place of the next competition. Remember to prepare to participate, otherwise it will be considered abstention."
