Chapter 166 "Problems and Contradictions Continue"

In order to facilitate the players to go out for purchases, the organizing committee specially prepared a business car for the Red and Blue teams. When Xie Qingfeng and Yang Wei came out of the store, the team members had already arrived in the car in advance to wait.

Without further ado, just start to make a move!

The competition focuses on the quality of the cuisine, and the quality of the cuisine is partly determined by the ingredients, such as between ordinary beef beef and Kobe beef, which won half before it was made.

The six contestants knew this basic cooking knowledge very well. Even if it was only 300 yuan, they hoped to be perfect.

There are two places where you can buy a large amount of ingredients. One is a supermarket that many people who are interested in looking for convenience. The advantage here is that the ingredients are clearly divided into clear areas and all kinds of ingredients are sold clearly. If you don’t buy them, you won’t be able to take advantage of them. There are relatively few fake and inferior products.

If you don’t understand the market conditions and don’t like bargaining, this is the best place to go.

The second is a vegetable market with mixed fish and dragons. The ingredients here are richer. The stall owners can have more room for maneuver in the price.

The disadvantage is that you must have enough experience and have sufficient understanding of the nature and market conditions of the ingredients. Novices who do not have relevant experience may not only not be able to buy cheap good goods, but will instead be slaughtered and unable to find them.

Bargaining, inferior as good as good, and other labels such as Qiankun Hand are all the characteristics of the vegetable market.

The two teams have different choices of purchasing locations. The red team chooses to go to the supermarket to buy first, and then go to the vegetable market to supplement the missing ingredients.

The reason why there are two full-time housewives with experienced vegetable chopping skills is that the captain Yang Wei.

Bargaining is a characteristic of China, but for many foreigners, this is simply incomprehensible. Yang Wei is a returnee who grew up in the United States. He has no idea of ​​bargaining at all in his mind. He has a large tendency to deal with food abroad, and he has a higher trust in supermarkets.

The captain made this decision, and Yu Xiaoting listened to it mindlessly, while Fan Xiaobing had no choice but to accept it unconditionally despite his own opinions.

Because in this round, the captain has absolute command.

Perhaps Yang Wei was definitely the spearhead, which led to a very obvious small dispute when they first arrived at the supermarket when they were dividing their labor to buy ingredients.

"Fan Xiaobing, you are responsible for buying chicken, eels, Yu Xiaoting, you are responsible for dried tofu and dried scallions..."

"Wait a minute, I'll give you some advice!"

Fan Xiaobing interrupted Yang Wei and suggested sincerely: "When we were in the car just now, the three of us divided the dishes we cooked according to our own expertise. Since the dishes have been divided into everyone, I suggest everyone not to buy them in a unified manner. You buy meat like now, and I buy side dishes like this, and I focus on the dish of my own. Wouldn't it be much better?"

This suggestion put forward by Fan Xiaobing continued Xie Qingfeng's plan in the previous team game.

The biggest advantage of this division of labor is that there will be no missed side dishes or auxiliary dishes. After all, none of the three contestants can make all three dishes and do not know which dishes need what auxiliary ingredients.

Even if you write the name on the notebook, there are many small categories of each ingredient. Which type of ingredient is needed is completely a slight distortion.

Take Yangzhou dried shredded pork for example. Which type of dried tofu is needed to cut dried shredded pork? Among the dozens of types of dried tofu, people who don’t understand don’t know which one to use at all.

By purchasing your own dishes according to your needs, you can completely avoid this situation.

However, Yang Wei seemed to listen to the advice and insisted on retorting: "The supermarket's ingredients classification is not based on which dish you want to cook. It is divided into regions, with meat placed in one area and vegetables placed in one area."

Yu Xiaoting also said, "Yes, the supermarket is placed in sections, with meat, poultry and vegetables separated, so it's a waste of time to buy each one."

It can be seen that Yu Xiaoting trusts Yang Wei very much and supports this "specialist" chef of the turtle.

"I understand this. The vegetable market is also divided into districts, but the three of us don't know each other's dishes. We don't know what kind of food we want to buy. If..."

"Fan Xiaobing! Fan Xiaobing!"

The captain's authority was questioned, and Yang Wei interrupted with a dark face and said unhappily: "I am the captain now in this game. According to the rules, everything has to be listened to me, okay?"

"I know you are the captain, but everyone wants to win. You are so confused about division of labor. If you buy too little ingredients, what should you do if you buy the wrong one?" Fan Xiaobing is straightforward and says whatever you want.

"In this way, I am responsible for the management of the team. You are responsible for making your dish well. Don't worry about other things. If something really happens, I will be responsible."

"Okay, I hope you can do what you say and don't regret it if you make trouble." Yang Wei said this, plus his captain's rights, Fan Xiaobing could only listen to him.

After a round of small controversy, the Red Team finally pushed their shopping carts into the supermarket to start buying ingredients.

On the other side, the blue team, dominated by Xie Qingfeng, had already arrived at the vegetable market at this time. Although the three of them did not argue, they also encountered two small troubles.

During the more than ten minutes of the bus, the three of the Blue Team discussed in the car.

Osmanthus is a classic dish from Shanghai. At the banquet of every household, there is a pork belly marinated with eggs, etc., which is covered with flour and fried until golden and crispy. In ancient times, the dish called "golden meat" was used to make a good start.

Fang Liuguang is a native of Shanghai and is not unfamiliar with this dish, but he is better at making old Shanghai noodles with crabs.

In order to achieve the highest quality by striving for excellence, Xie Qingfeng distributed Lao Shanghai crabs to him, and he would make this dish that neither Xie Qingfeng nor Wu Xiaomei could cook.

Xie Qingfeng will make the remaining ancient osmanthus meat and squirrel mandarin fish, while Wu Xiaomei will only make squirrel mandarin fish.

But the squirrel mandarin fish is a knife-making dish. There are no squirrels in it. Instead, the fish meat is passed through a fine flower knife. After being fryed by powder, it is arranged to form a squirrel.

The problem is that Wu Xiaomei's knife skills are only in the entry-level stage, and she is still working in ordinary restaurants, but facing six masters in the food industry, she herself is not confident that she can make a perfect look.

I know how to make this dish, but my knife skills are not at the extreme, which is a bit troublesome.

Before getting off at the vegetable market, the three of them finally decided to cooperate 21 to complete this extreme difficulty team competition after discussion.

The so-called 21 mix means that the three members of the Blue Team were divided into two groups, and Fang Liuguang would do the old Shanghai alone to pull crabs, Xie Qingfeng and Wu Xiaomei combined to complete the remaining two together.

In this way, Xie Qingfeng can focus on knife skills, and Wu Xiaomei is responsible for making these two dishes.
