The first to be imported is the eggplant, which is probably the most widely circulated dish of the Red Chamber Banquet, and it is the most detailed in the book.

"Put the eggplant that has just come down and put the skin on the stick, as long as the meat is clean, cut into broken nails, fried with chicken fat, and then use chicken breast meat and mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced dried curd, all kinds of dried fruits, cut into dices, simmer dry with chicken soup, collect sesame oil, add bad oil and mix, put it in a porcelain jar and seal it tightly, take it out when you want to eat, and mix it with fried chicken and melon. ”

If you translate it, it's - throw money!

Grandma Liu's emotion can vividly express this thought: "My Buddha!

In addition to "delicious", the other judges' evaluations are "super delicious", although it is very earthy, it is the best interpretation of the taste of this eggplant.

And Ke Pengyi, as a professional food evaluator, must not be so straightforward.

The evaluation after tasting must be professional, otherwise it will definitely be despised by others after it spreads.

Several people next to him also looked at him, looking forward to what a professional food critic would say.

After thinking for a few seconds, Ke Pengyi said softly: "This dish is so delicious!"

Judges: ......

If it weren't for Ke Pengyi sitting beside them from beginning to end, and his speech and demeanor were no different from just now, they must have suspected that Ke Pengyi was transferred when he went to the toilet.

The other judges cast a hellish expression, a dignified food critic, would actually use such a straightforward evaluation......

"Well, that's right, in the face of absolute food, any words of praise are futile, and only two words of delicious are to follow the most authentic heart. ”

Ke Pengyi spoke seriously.

Fortunately, the chef judges still have a very good attitude, and commented on the method of eggplant, the degree of recovery, the plating and other aspects, showing what is called professionalism.

Taste the next dish, pine nut goose fat roll, a small piece, white as snow, embedded with three pine nuts, the mellow taste of goose oil begins to diffuse, melt in the mouth, salty and sweet taste fills the mouth, very delicious.

After tasting a few dishes, Ke Pengyi finally understood why Ma Jiang would say that this time it would present a different dish.

Sure enough, in terms of taste, the ingredients used in this Red Chamber Banquet are better, and the production is more exquisite than the Jingling Banquet, but it is indeed as Ma Jiang said, no Jingling Banquet is more suitable for Jingling City Business Card.

A short time later, the last dish of the feast is served.

A product of crab soup, a soup made of whole crabs, with cabbage, kelp, scallops, dried crab legs and crab shells to bring out the ultimate freshness, the whole crab is cleaned with eight pieces of crabs, marinated with rice wine and ginger slices and then backfilled with crab meat, covered with a piece of winter melon after plating, adding tofu, a little seaweed and kelp slices, after being served, there is both the freshness of the crab and the mellow of the soup, which can be said to be particularly suitable for finishing.

By the time the judges had come back from the feast, it was already five minutes later.

"Perfect!"

"Impeccable!"

The evaluations of amateur judges and lay judges are always so simple and straightforward, but the professional judges are completely different.

Ke Pengyi, as the most authentic food critic in the audience, was able to find out the shortcomings despite being very satisfied with the Red Chamber Banquet.

"Shark fin is replaced by vermicelli, which is very well seasoned, but the grade is completely different. This dish is recommended to be canceled and replaced directly. ”

"I don't know if it's the problem you do, or the problem of watermelon selection, the melon flavor is insufficient, if it is only used as a container, then there is some waste, if you are considering making fruity wine drunk chicken, then you need to improve it. In addition, the failure of this dish is that there is not enough time for the chicken sake lees, so the flavor is not strong enough. ”

"Another point, you probably refer to the practice of cooking chicken with wine in the "Song Health Department", and washed the chicken with vinegar, and the variety of vinegar here is also wrong, go back and think about it carefully. ”

"Two-color saury, this dish is also a bit problematic. The ingredients are indeed good, the rare Yangtze River saury, but you can see that you rarely handle the saury, and the heat of this dish is slightly too much. The saury is the three fresh fish of the Yangtze River, and the heat should even be deliberately weakened when processing. Be careful the next time you do it. ”

The chef judges didn't say as much as Ke Pengyi, mainly because they were all said by Ke Pengyi, and it was not interesting to repeat them, so there was only one sentence: "Keep up the good work, this time is a practice, and I look forward to seeing the Red Chamber Banquet appear on the menu at Jingling Hotel in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

You must know that the dishes can appear on the menu of Jingling Hotel, which means that the dishes can also get more than 9 points in the mouth of a tricky food critic like Ke Pengyi.

Ma Jiang, as the third chef of Jingling Hotel, is now qualified to be responsible for the production of daily dishes, but he does not have the authority to be responsible for the banquet dishes alone, but it is obvious that in the chef judges, the Red Chamber Banquet is already qualified to be on the menu, and it only needs to be sharpened a few more times.

The official judges also made a rare comment: "Jingling Hotel is the pride of our Jingling, the taste of all dishes and banquets is second to none, from the performance of Jingling Banquet and Red Chamber Banquet, I think Jingling Hotel deserves its name, and I also hope to see such a native Jingling Hotel can have outstanding results." ”

Ma Jiang's face changed when he heard this, and the meaning of this judge was very clear, if Jingling Hotel could win the first place, with the accumulation and popularity of these years, it would definitely be able to win the honor of Jingling City Business Card Food Representative.

"If I can get this title, then the resistance to opening a banquet in the Red Chamber should be much smaller......"

The back kitchen of Jingling Hotel is not as harmonious as Shibuyu, and it is even more factional than Ao Stove Noodle Restaurant.

As a third chef, he has begun to be responsible for leading the team, and he is also responsible for the pass rate, praise rate, and attendance rate of the dishes, but this year, his performance has not been good. If you want to add a new menu in this situation, you will inevitably be questioned and targeted by the second chef and the chef who will be promoted to the third chef later.

So Ma Jiang gambled on the position of the third chef to apply to participate in the competition of the food rankings, once he won, he will be the founder of the honor of Jingling Hotel, and the weight of his words is naturally much heavier.

But if it fails...... He will also really have nothing.

However, benefits and risks coexist, and at first glance, he is still very successful and has been praised by the judges.

Bet right!

In the middle of the day, the judges' scores were announced.

In order to convince the public, the reason for this score was also specially explained.

"It is extremely difficult to restore a dish that is only partially described in words, and there are many dishes that perform well among the sixteen dishes, and I think Ma Jiang and his party have experienced unimaginable difficulties in restoring these dishes. ”

This score gives the taste of the Red Chamber Banquet, and also gives the team's hard work and persistence. ”

Jingling Hotel, Red Mansion Banquet, 9.7 points. ”

You must know that more than 9 points, every 0.1 points of improvement is a difficult thing to do, and this 9.7 points can be said to be a crushing level score.

The back of the team, hanging!
