Xi Tianlei felt that Qiao Zhi was very interesting, well versed in the taboos of the state banquet, and the key was to play a trick to hide from the world and cross the sea, and also bypassed top masters like Kong Bohou.

"It's interesting! The scallop is made with tofu and lotus seeds, which is very creative and eye-catching. Xi Tianlei exclaimed, "Your basic skills are too solid, I was deceived by you just now, thinking that you had committed the taboo of the state banquet." ”

Qiao Zhi said modestly: "It's just a small skill of carving insects. I think the scallop is a very classic dish in the Confucian cuisine, if the state banquet, this dish not only means auspicious, but also can be associated with traditional Chinese culture, because many state banquets have halal requirements, so I moved a little clever, since the ribbon can be innovated with pork belly, made into a new version of the ribbon Shangchao, why can't you use tofu instead of pork belly?"

Xi Tianlei sighed: "The key is that this dish, through seasoning, the taste of tofu is very close to the taste of pork belly. ”

Qiao Zhi smiled, his eyes fell in front of him, and as he spoke, the dish of "Tape Up" had been eliminated, and the judges had eaten the dish unconsciously, which showed the charm of this dish.

Xi Tianlei began to taste the mullet egg soup, which was served in a delicate soup cup, and after opening, it was a pungent aroma.

Xi Tianlei couldn't help but sigh secretly, "It's so fragrant!"

It is the taste of mullet egg soup, but it seems to have a unique aroma more than that.

After tasting it, Suo Zhi was the first to speak: "Xian! The soup base you use is very unique, let me think about it carefully, by the way, did you use pheasant soup?"

Xi Tianlei's eyes lit up after this reminder, "That's right, it is indeed pheasant soup, and it seems that the ancient method used to make it is not the same method as the pheasant soup we taste on the market today." ”

Qiao Zhi secretly admired that these national chefs not only have excellent skills, but also have a broad understanding of Chinese cuisine and knowledge.

"That's right, I did borrow the ancient pheasant soup as the base for mullet egg soup. Qiao Zhi said with a smile.

The judges tasted the dish and confirmed it repeatedly, with appreciation and admiration in their eyes.

In this complex emotion, everyone completely wiped out the soup in the soup cup.

Xi Tianlei and the host took the initiative to ask for the microphone, and their emotions were indescribably excited, "The members of the association here, the audience and other spectators who are watching the game, I must strongly introduce this dish to everyone." Mullet egg soup is not only the first soup in Confucius, but also one of the best soups in state banquets. Qiao Zhi made a subversive innovation on this dish, adding pheasant soup to the soup base, which is known as the world's first soup.

The reason why pheasant soup has the reputation of the world's first soup is not only because of its excellent taste, but also because it has a history of 4,000 years, which belongs to ancient cooking. According to legend, it was the first to be created by Peng Zu, the originator of cooking, and it was made by stewing with pheasant and millet rice. Emperor Qianlong passed through Xuzhou on his southern tour, tasted pheasant soup, and felt that the taste was incomparably delicious, so he gave the name "the first soup in the world". ”

In ancient mythology, this dish not only tasted excellent, but also cured Emperor Yao's serious illness, Peng Zu was rewarded by Emperor Yao, and went to Xuzhou to establish a state and become king, so Xuzhou is also called Pengcheng. The perfect fusion of the world's first soup and the world's first soup, that's why Qiao Zhi dares to do this!"

The two national chefs cited scriptures

The audience also felt the rich color and heavy heritage of Chinese cuisine.

"These two judges are very powerful, and I feel that I have profound knowledge of Chinese culture. ”

"Do you think that the state chef is so good? They often cook food for state dignitaries, and occasionally go abroad to make Chinese food for foreign dignitaries, so how can they not have two brushes? What era is it now? Do you think that the chef is just a rough man who sits in the kitchen bare-chested, wielding knives, turning pots, and playing with fire? The top celebrity chefs are all high-end talents with very high quality and strong comprehensive strength. ”

"That's right, Qiao Zhi is very high-end, and he is a graduate of Zheng'er Bajing Qiongjin University!"

Xi Tianlei and Suo Zhi did not specifically evaluate the mullet egg soup cooked by Qiao Zhi, but analyzed the significance of this dish by quoting scriptures.

The appreciation of this elegant style is the most fatal, and it instantly elevates the artistic conception and taste of Qiao Zhi's dish.

Kong Fan was originally very confident in his works, especially when he was recognized by Kong Bohou, he felt like he was bursting.

But at this moment, Kong Fan realized that he could no longer dream.

How could it be so easy to kill Sun Shichao and Cao Zhen in the first and second stages?

Qiao Zhi is an out-and-out competitive player, although he has repeatedly said that he does not like to participate in this kind of showy activities, but once he stands on the scene, his spirit is highly excited, and he can't help but take out some hole cards.

Qiao Zhi is actually a little painful, in all his hole cards, the ancient pheasant soup is a very important hole card, he just "wandered (epiphany)" when he accidentally used this hole card.

As soon as the ancient cooking "pheasant soup" came out, it was like a magic weapon in the fantasy, and the competition was a big move.

Qiao Zhi glanced at Kong Fan not far away with his residual vision, the whole person of this brute bull was stunned, his face was pale, and the blood strip on his head that was invisible to ordinary people shot out, and it was empty of blood in the blink of an eye.

As for the "dark horse" Charlene, who was not far away, looked at Qiao Zhi's eyes with a touch of respect.

Xia Lin did not have the slightest hostility towards Qiao Zhi, and was very grateful to Qiao Zhi for killing Sun Shichao and Cao Zhen so that she could have a chance to advance to the finals.

Moreover, as an opponent, observing Qiao Zhi's cooking skills, you will find that his fame matches his strength, not rumors from the outside world, but through hype.

The dish is innovative, and the players on the field know how to replace meat with tofu, but the dish "Pheasant Soup with Mullet Fish Egg Soup" is a trick and a secret trick that is difficult to replicate even if you taste it.

If you want to become a top chef in your own right, you must be able to make classics, and at the same time, you have to incorporate your own characteristics on the basis of classics to create new cuisines.

Qiao Zhi has reached this realm.

As for the sauce-roasted beef steak and assorted sunflower scallops, although they were decently done, they were still highly recognized by the judges, and the dishes on the plates and plates were eaten cleanly, which is the best proof of this.

The four chefs behind Qiao Zhi were extremely depressed.

When you taste the best food, and then taste the food that is slightly lacking, it will taste like chewing wax.

The judges tried the dishes next, and the people behind could only sigh that they were unlucky, if the position was in front of Qiao Zhi when the draw was drawn, it would be advantageous.

"I'm so nervous, I'm still a few minutes away from announcing the end

Fruitless. Tang Shuangshuang glanced at Ning Hui and deliberately hummed a little tune, "Someone must be more nervous than me." If you surrender now, it's still the same word, and you will lose half of it. ”

Ning Hui rubbed his nose and said disdainfully: "Ershuang, don't you still know my temper? When have I ever played with you, losing is losing, and I will never regret it." ”

Luan Pan said: "I'm curious now if Charlene has a chance to enter the top three." ”

Kong Bohou got the total score scored by the judges, and sighed softly at the corner of his mouth.

Xi Tianlei patted Kong Bohou on the shoulder and said, "The confrontation between young chefs is nothing, don't take it to heart!"

Kong Bohou smiled with relief: "Qiao Zhi taught me a lesson. I have always insisted on Confucian cuisine as the foundation of my disciples, but I have neglected their cultivation of other cuisines. Although Qiao Zhi has a deep attainment in Huainan cuisine, he can worship Zheng Ze as a teacher, this kind of humble mentality, not only Kong Fan needs to learn, but I also have to change my previous narrow-mindedness, with a generous mind, facing the people or things around me. ”

Xi Tianlei said: "Old Kong, you are going to become a saint." "I secretly slandered myself in my heart, you are old stubborn, old pedantic, being a judge, where do you get so many feelings?

Xi Tianlei handed over the final results to the hostess.

The hostess started from the eighth place, and when she reached the third place, the speed slowed down.

There are still three people whose names have not been read, Qiao Zhi, Kong Fan, and Xia Lin.

"Next, I will give you the third place in this conference, who will he be?"

The judges' comment to him was that he conquered the taste buds with unprecedented food, made people realize that the original food can be cooked like this, and the imagination and solid innovative skills have perfectly interpreted the Chinese food culture through food. Can you guess who he is?"

The audience below was stunned.

"What the hell is this? Whoever sticks it to it, it's very appropriate, it's a completely all-purpose comment. ”

"Is it Charlene or Kong Fan?"

"Why not Qiao Zhi, although the judges have a high evaluation of him, it is also possible that the boat will capsize in the gutter!"

"I suddenly looked forward to Qiao Zhi, so much fun. ”

The hostess saw that she had a full appetite, took the card, and said with a smile: "The third place in this tasting conference is Charlene! She is a dark horse and a beautiful landscape, which brings a lot of surprises to the conference and makes us feel the charm of a beautiful chef." She will receive a prize of 200,000 yuan, as well as the qualification of the chef of this year's state banquet. ”

"Okay, let's announce the second place in this competition! I won't sell it to you, he is the youngest of this year's contestants - Qiao Zhi!"

Everyone was stunned.

Kong Fan was also stunned!

Qiao Zhi is second, then isn't he the first!

Why don't you believe it?

It must be the hostess who is joking, is this joke funny?

That's sticking a knife in your own heart, okay?

After the hostess finished speaking, she waited for the reaction of the audience, originally thought it would be chaotic, but it was surprisingly quiet.

The hostess felt that the crow was flying over her head, and smiled awkwardly, "Okay, it's a joke for everyone, it's still a cold joke that can freeze a polar bear to death." The second place in this conference is Kong Fan, and the first place is Qiao Zhi. ”
