Chapter 476: Manchu and Han Plenary Contest (4)

Speaking from the heart, Huang Rong's fresh razor radish soup tastes no worse than the chicken gizzard and bamboo shoot soup in Manhanlou, but the razor clams that Fei Nan said are too old is not an empty excuse.

Tao Zhen's vote was very fair, which made Fei Nan surprised and a little doubtful that he was suspicious of the wrong person.

He glanced at Xue Jiayan casually, the other party's expression didn't see anything abnormal, and he could only choose to wait and see.

The first soup was just for appetizers, and soon the second course was also served, which were braised with fish liver from Manhan Lou and braised with abalone and pearl cabbage from Huang Rong.

The grouper is a scaleless fish, belonging to the family Snakehead, the snakehead species, the meat is fresh and tender, since ancient times, it has been widely welcomed by diners in coastal areas.

And grouper fish liver is also a unique ingredient, and Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List" records how to eat it.

The stewed fish liver in Manhanlou still follows the ancient method, but pepper is added to the seasoning to remove the fishiness, which can reduce the concentration of ginger juice and avoid the taste being too spicy.

Huang Rong's abalone stewed pearl dish is also an old dish, but he has made innovations on the basis of traditional methods, boldly adding mint and perilla leaves, so that the dish is not only fresh and fragrant, but also a little more refreshing and creative.

Tao Zhen decisively voted for Man Hanlou, and so did Xue Jiayan.

Compared with the two, even Fei Nan himself had to admit that Huang Rong's abalone stewed pearl dish was indeed slightly better than the braised fish liver in Manhanlou by half a point.

After hesitating, Fei Nan also voted for Huang Rong.

Hearing his vote, there was an instant commotion on the side of Man Hanlou, and Jiahui muttered anxiously: "Why did Brother Nan vote for that surnamed Huang?"

Zhao Gangsheng was also puzzled and asked, "Is Brother Nan being bought?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Ou Zhaofeng reprimanded: "Anan is not that kind of person! He voted like this, so he naturally has his reasons!"

Huang Rong, who was on the other side, also looked at Fei Nan in astonishment, sat up straight, puzzled.

That Fei Nan is obviously a man from the Han Building, how could he vote for him?

Could it be that he saw that the goods in Manhanlou were too unbearable and wanted to defect?

A smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he sat back again, leaning back in the chair, crossing Erlang's legs, leisurely, as if he had a chance to win.

Fei Nan's face was expressionless, and he glanced at Ou Zhaofeng casually, handed over a reassuring look, and waited quietly to taste the next dish.

This time, it was the fresh stewed Shih Tzu milk from the Manhan House and the braised pork tendon with sea cucumber from Huang Rong.

This is a competition between two stewed dishes, and as soon as the dish is served, it is fragrant and appetizing.

After judging the two dishes, Tao Zhen seemed to recognize Feinan's strength, and his interest in him also increased greatly.

So, after tasting these two stews, he turned around and took the initiative to ask Feinan's opinion.

After tasting the dishes, Fei Nan already knew what to expect, so he said: "These two stews have their own merits, but I will vote for Manhanlou this time." ”

"Oh?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Tao Zhen's mouth and asked, "Why? What is the difference between Master Huang's sea cucumber stewed pork tendon?"

"The difficulty of the stew is the stock, and the ingredients are secondary. ”

Fei Nan explained: "Chef Huang's dish is made of premium sea cucumber and pork trotter tendon stewed in broth, the sea cucumber has a soft and glutinous taste, and the pork tendon has a chewy texture and a delicious taste, which is very good. ”

"But as I said earlier, the difficulty of stewed vegetables is the broth, and the sea cucumber itself has no taste, and it all depends on the broth to enhance the flavor. ”

"The broth used by Chef Huang should be made with pork bones, whole chicken, whole duck, whole fish, ham, suckling pigeon, and scallops, which has a rich flavor and complex layers. ”

"But the bad is bad at this level of complexity, Master Huang's soup is too miscellaneous, resulting in a somewhat chaotic taste of the steamer broth, and there is no main taste, which makes the sea cucumber, which has no strong sense of existence, even more lacking its sense of existence. ”

"When I ate this sea cucumber, I felt like I was eating konjac, and I didn't realize it was a sea cucumber at all. ”

On the other hand, this freshly stewed Shih Tzu milk in Manhanlou is very well done. ”

The focus of this dish is also on the broth, but Chef Au Zhaofeng has grasped a fresh stew, highlighting the umami taste of the puffer fish. ”

"In addition to the necessary whole chicken, whole duck, pork bones, and ham, Master Ou's broth should also add puffer fish bones, right?"

"The fish in this dish is cooked in plain water and then dipped in broth. ”

"As we all know, immersion in water is time-consuming, and an hour or two is simply not enough. ”

"At this time, the puffer fish bones in Master Ou's broth come in handy. ”

"Its unique flavor is associated with the puffer fish white, like a transition layer in the middle of the well-defined estuary, which allows the flavor of the dashi to transcend the time limit and blend with the fish white, which is very in place. ”

"So, my vote will go to Manhanlou, and they did better. ”

As soon as Fei Nan's words fell, Tao Zhen couldn't help but applaud, and said with a smile: "Okay! ”

At the stove, Huang Rong's face collapsed again.

I thought that kid had changed sex, but I didn't expect it to be pretended, and I actually said that my broth can't be boiled, do you know what broth is?

The chefs who were sitting in the audience to watch the ceremony were so elopitable by Feinan's words that some of them couldn't help but raise their hands and ask: "Host! Let's listen to the three judges, it's so gluttonous! The two chefs have done a lot of things, can you let us taste it too!"

When the other cooks heard this, they hurriedly responded.

"Yes, do you have our share?"

"We want to eat too!"

"Let's also try the craftsmanship of the two masters!"

Seeing that there was some commotion at the scene, the host hurriedly appeased: "Don't be impatient, everyone, this is a game, please pay attention to order." ”

Immediately, he hurriedly ran off the stage and quickly discussed with Man Hanlou and Huang Rong.

Ou Zhaofeng naturally has no opinions, everyone is a chef, and people are also here to watch the ceremony, so it's not a matter for people to watch and not eat.

Besides, they have already done a lot, and the three judges can't eat much, and it's not a problem for everyone on the scene to taste a little bit.

Huang Rong was a little reluctant, if everyone on the scene had a share, wouldn't everyone be a judge?

After a moment of deliberation, the organizer finally decided that the audience had a taste, but they did not have the right to vote, and only three judges including Fei Nan could vote, and the final result of the competition must also be judged by the votes of the three judges.

Soon, the competition resumed, and the assistant chefs of both sides began to serve the previously judged dishes separately and served them to the chefs.

The judges began to score the third course, and this time, Tao Zhen and Fei Nan both voted for Man Hanlou, while Xue Jiayan still voted for Huang Rong.

However, Fei Nan was not surprised, after this round of review, he had determined that Tao Zhen was not Huang Rong's person, but Xue Jiayan was.
