Chapter 150 Food Contest
The very next day after the opening, there was a Chinese food competition looking for Chen Yimin.
They want to invite Evan Chan to be a guest on their show.
People who often watch TV know that the China Food Competition is the highest-level food competition in China. Almost the most outstanding food experts from all over the country will come to this show to compete on the same stage.
Of course, the winner will also receive generous rewards.
Winning the first place in the Chinese Food Competition will not only get sponsorship for the program and win the love of a large number of viewers, but also earn the strongest gourmet certificate issued by the Chinese Food Organization.
With this certificate, you are at the top of the industry.
Many people in the food industry are vying to stand out in this competition.
So when Chen Yimin received the invitation from the program team, he readily agreed.
Being able to participate in this program as a guest is also a recognition of Chen Yimin's hot pot restaurant by China Food Building, and he also wants to learn from other gourmets how to better manage a hot pot restaurant.
The program started filming as scheduled, and Chen Yimin sat in the audience as a guest.
The hosts on the stage introduced the process of the competition. It was roughly that five people would form a group and cook a dish based on the theme proposed by the guests on the stage . The judges would then taste the dish and choose the best one to move on to the next level.
Then the five people who advance will compete to select the most powerful one.
This fair competition system is recognized by all the contestants.
The tasting is also divided into two parts: judges and audiences. There are both industry certifications and the love of ordinary people. The food that can satisfy every taste is the most touching food.
After the show started, the host of the first game asked Chen Yimin, who had just arrived, to choose a theme.
Looking at the audience below looking at him expectantly, Chen Yimin thought for a moment and spoke.
"Because I'm in the hot pot industry, today we'll take hot pot as the theme and make a hot pot that everyone can accept."
The contestants on the stage didn't hear what Chen Yimin said, but they all had their own thoughts in their minds.
Most people in the catering industry can make hot pot, but everyone has a different understanding of hot pot. Hot pot is not just spicy pot, there is also clear soup pot, tomato pot, and mushroom soup pot.
The production of each pot base is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. If you want to stand out in this show, ordinary pot bases are definitely not possible. You have to figure out the other ingredients on your own.
As the game began, a thirty-minute countdown appeared behind the screen.
During this period, all contestants have to make their own hot pot, and only after 30 minutes can they go to the food area to get the ingredients for cooking.
All the contestants on the stage took the time to start making their own pot base.
30 minutes passed quickly.
The contestants presented their dishes one by one, then went to get the ingredients they wanted and placed them on the table.
The program team distributed bowls and chopsticks to the guests and audience who were tasting the food in advance, and then the contestants placed the cooked ingredients in front of them.
Each work has a personal number on it, and you can vote on the number of the work you like.
After a brief tasting, everyone fled with their tickets.
Because the guests are more special than the audience, they have more votes than the audience, so every guest is almost chewing on which contestant will be able to go on.
The host announces the winning dish based on the counted votes.
It is a very innovative vegetarian assorted hotpot base.
The base ingredients are all made from vegetables and fruits , but the taste is just as good as those made with clear soup or beef oil.
The result caused an uproar among the audience.
They all thought that the work of No. 2 on stage was the best, a seafood pot made with a whole crab, which tasted fresh and delicious, but for some reason, the winner in the end was the vegetarian mixed pot base.
Hearing the heated discussions in the audience, the host looked at Chen Yimin and asked.
"Just now, when the program team was voting for number one, we saw that our guests voted for the vegetarian mixed hotpot, but most of our audience voted for number two. Do you have any different opinions?"
Chen Yimin replied after hearing this.
"I think gourmet food should be made by the public. Crabs are too expensive for many ordinary families, and using the whole crab to make soup is a waste."
The host on the stage also nodded after hearing what Chen Yimin said.
At this moment, No. 2 suddenly snatched the microphone from the host and spoke.
"Have you ever made hot pot soup base yourself? A good hot pot needs to be cooked with broth to preserve the ingredients. Don't talk nonsense ."
The host showed an embarrassed expression when he heard this. This was the first time that a contestant on their show expressed dissatisfaction with the judging results.
Just when the host wanted to take back the microphone, No. 2 spoke again.
"I hope the production team can invite some professional gourmets to the show instead of inviting some celebrities and internet celebrities to fill in the gaps. This is extremely disrespectful to our food industry."
When I was sitting in the audience, Chen Yimin heard what contestant No. 2 said, and a sarcastic expression appeared on his face.
"I'm so sorry, the hot pot base in our restaurant is made by me personally. Today I will show you what real hot pot base is."
Putting down the microphone, Chen Yimin rolled up his sleeves and walked onto the stage.
Just like those contestants, Chen Yimin also started to make the hot pot base step by step, doing everything himself from frying the red oil to simmering the stomach and making the soup.
It took Chen Yimin more than 20 minutes to finish frying the hot pot base.
The audience in the audience cast curious expressions when they saw Chen Yimin's actions. They all wanted to taste what the hot pot base cooked by Chen Yimin himself tasted like.
No. 2 showed a shocked expression on his face when he saw Chen Yimin walk onto the stage and then see him cooking the hot pot base.
I didn't expect that he could actually cook.
When he smelled the fragrance in the air, No. 2 became a little panicked. What if the hot pot base made by Chen Yimin tasted better than his? That would be a slap in his face.
After the preparation was completed, Chen Yimin placed the cooked food on the table as required and first gave it to No. 2 to taste.
The contestants looked surprised after tasting the hot pot made by Chen Yimin .
This hot pot far surpasses any contestant on stage, the taste is unique.
He had a look of disdain on his face at first, but after eating the hot pot made by Chen Yimin, he lowered his head in shame.
This hot pot is a slap in his face.
Chen Yimin has proved to everyone through his actions that he is not only a star, but also a gourmet.
