In the evening, Gao Dian and Wei Qiaoyi went back together.

On the way, Wei Qiaoyi said: "Don't expose too much when you are in the selection competition."

"Why?" Gao Dian asked.

"If you expose too much, it will attract the attention of others. You may not go far in the subsequent competition. Now there are only first-level pastry masters and below. The first-level pastry masters have not participated in the competition.

In other words, the special first-level pastry chef has not exposed anything. If you expose too much, it will be a disadvantage for you." Wei Qiaoyi said.

"I understand, you special first-class pastry chefs are really special. But if you say this, isn't it a bit unfair to those who are not special first-class pastry chefs?" Gao Dian said.

Wei Qiaoyi said: "You are right to say this, there must be unfairness. But for others, it is somewhat unfair, but the impact is not great. But you are different, you are also at the first level, while others are not."

Gao Dian was a little silent when he heard this.

After a while, he said, "I understand."

Wei Qiaoyi smiled and said, "As long as you can pass the selection competition, there is no need to compete for the rankings. Of course, if you want to compete, it's OK, but you have to remember, no matter what, leave some trump cards."

Gao Dian heard this and said, "I still know this, don't worry."

Wei Qiaoyi smiled and didn't say anything else.

She regards Gao Dian as her opponent and takes the initiative to say this, but she does not want Gao Dian to be eliminated too early.

…………

The next day.

Today is the second day of the first round.

Unlike yesterday, there are five groups in total today's competition.

This is because, not 400 people who sign up for the competition, but more than a dozen people will be added.

These people can only be arranged into the fifth group. After all, it is a bit inappropriate to spend one more day to specialize in the competition.

Today, Gao Dian, Zhou Yongqing and Feng Zhigang went together, but Li Dongyang did not go together.

Today, Li Dongyang is going to work in Dianxin Tower and has no time to come.

Dianxin Tower suddenly left several first-level noodle chefs and was under great pressure on limited dishes.

Li Dongyang didn't have to participate in the competition today, so he asked him to stay and work.

When they arrived at yesterday's venue, the three of them walked in and sat in a familiar position.

The competition started today much earlier than yesterday.

There is no need to announce the rules today.

In the first group, there is Zhou Yongqing, but there is no Gaodian.

He was waiting for the first group of games to come to an end and Zhou Yongqing came back. His expression was a little solemn, not as relaxed as Li Dongyang.

Gao Dian thought about it, but did not ask him how he felt.

From the surface, there are many things that can be seen.

The second group of competition list contains Gao Dian's name, so he stood up and prepared to go to the competition venue.

Zhou Yongqing spoke, "Come on!"

Gao Dian nodded with a smile.

At this time, Feng Zhigang smiled and said, "Lao Zhou, this game is not stressful for Lao Gao at all."

When Zhou Yongqing heard this, she was stunned and then nodded and responded: "Yes."

Suddenly, a sound came from beside him: "Swish~"

When the two looked over, Feng Zhigang frowned and said, "Why are you laughing at?"

The person who smiled was a man who looked about forty or fifty years old.

"I just think it's good to be young," the man said.

All three of them understood the meaning of this sentence. Isn’t it just that they are young and ignorant?

The two were about to say something, but Gao Dian stopped them and said: "We are indeed quite young."

After saying that, Gao Dian walked towards the competition venue.

Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man is also a participant in the second group.

When I arrived at the venue, the place was very large, but it was a little crowded with fifty people.

The position of the competition is not fixed, just choose the position yourself.

In fact, the location here is no different.

Gao Dian chose a position close to the corner and waited for the start of the game.

Before the competition officially begins, someone will check the ingredients.

This is to prevent cheating.

It’s not that you can’t cheat. You can bring the finished pastry directly. As long as the action is hidden, you may still be able to successfully cheat.

After the food inspection, the competition officially began.

Then, everyone started to move.

Gao Dian took the ingredients and started processing them.

The pastry he wants to make this time is dumplings.

However, it was not the white jade jade dumplings that Wei Qiaoyi taught him, but ordinary mushroom pork dumplings.

The meat is carefully selected by Gaodian on the market. Although it is not a pure grain pig, the meat is of high quality.

Fresh mushrooms, dried mushrooms are more suitable for stewing soups. For example, dumplings, fresh mushrooms are better.

Gao Dian completed the kneading step very quickly, and not long after, his dough was ready.

The dough he kneaded now is soft without losing its elasticity.

Put it aside and wait for fermentation, then Gaodian began to process the meat filling.

He chose the pork from the beginning, and the fat and thin ratio is suitable.

However, he did not start chopping the filling directly, but after refining it, he modified the fat ratio to the best level, and then started chopping the filling.

There are also some considerations for chopping fillings. They should not be too fine and have no taste. They should not be too thick and will not be easy to taste and mature.

Put the meat filling aside, remove the stems of the mushrooms, leave only the umbrella part, and cut it into a thickness equal to the meat filling.

Mix the two, add egg white to increase its viscosity, and then add pepper, salt, cooking wine, onion, ginger and water to season.

The meat filling needs to be stirred to be sufficiently sticky. This step must be stirred in one direction with your hands.

Time passed by minute by minute, Gaodian’s dumpling filling was ready, and the dough was fermented almost the same.

Take out the dough, knead it for a few more times to remove excess air from it, rub it for a while, and divide it into the same size dose with a knife.

Next, roll out the dosage with a rolling pin and form a circle.

This is a test of craftsmanship.

Without later modification, being able to roll it rounder and evenly, which proves that it is very skillful.

On the contrary, if you don’t have the skills, the rolled dumpling skin will be different.

Gaodian's craftsmanship is excellent. The dumpling skins he rolls are of equal size, shape and thickness.

After rolling out the skin, it is also easy to make dumplings.

Although this technique is not difficult to wrap dumplings, it is not easy to wrap it well.

In this regard, Gao Dian is also very good. He wraps the dumplings in a short while, and each one looks very delicate and beautiful.

The water was boiled from the beginning. Gao Dian threw the mushroom steaks he took into the water and simmered them for a while.

Taking advantage of this time, Gaodian began to mix dipping sauce.

In fact, the filling of dumplings is not complicated, just soy sauce and vinegar. If you like other flavors, you can also add chili, pepper, etc.

Gaodian only uses two kinds of condiments, one is soy sauce and the other is vinegar.

As long as the proportion is well grasped, this simple dipping sauce is delicious enough.

Although there are only two simple seasonings, Gaodian is not worried that the dumplings have no taste. The dumpling filling is seasoned.

After the dipping sauce was prepared, Gaodian then put the dumplings down and cooked.

Gao Dian also grasped the time to cook dumplings very well. The dumpling skin was not too soft. While retaining the taste, it also made the filling inside cook.

After the work was done, Gao Dian raised his hand to signal.

Because in the competition arena, it is prohibited to make loud noises and affect other people's cooking.

Soon, a staff member came over and took away Gaodian's dumplings.

Gao Dian followed him.
