Chapter 218: Elder Ling
While watching Baylor's operation, the pressure cooker in front of Song Zixuan was obviously not cooked, and if it was said that it was faster than the speed of the meal, he would inevitably be much slower.
At this point, Baylor put the rice back on the stove again, leaving several judges and the audience confused.
"What does Baylor mean by that? I just used cold water in a pot, I was supposed to let the rice cool quickly, but now it's ......."
"yes, I don't understand it either, this should be the essence of his cooking skills. ”
There was also a lot of discussion in the crowd.
"Oh my God, this guy is so handsome, he's Baylor. ”
"Yes, come from Yanjing to compete, the cooking skills must be amazing!"
"I don't care about that, I don't think it matters if the cooking is good or not, he ...... He's so handsome!"
This is not new, Baylor is now talking about taking off his trench coat, wearing a black tight suit and a black shirt, even if he wears a white apron, he can't stop his figure and chic.
On the other hand, Song Zixuan is different, his eyebrows are clear and his eyes are beautiful, but he is wearing a gray sweatshirt and pants for many days, and he can see that he is dirty from afar.
Han Rong asked him to take it off more than once and said to wash him, but Song Zixuan got up and went out, which caused the clothes to be dirty for three or four rounds now......
When Baylor started to scramble the eggs, the rice in the pressure cooker on Song Zixuan's side had also been steamed.
He was not in a hurry, and slowly poured out the rice, according to his usual habits, not only is the rice not an overnight meal, but also will not wait for the rice to cool down, after all, the outside is urgent, how can there be that time?
Seeing Baylor's scrambled eggs stir-frying quickly in the pot, almost as if they were turning around the edge of the pot, Song Zixuan put the rice into a plate and slowly took out eight eggs.
The number of eggs used by the two was different, Baylor used almost twenty eggs, while Song Zixuan only chose eight.
The reason for this is because they are going to fry a huge portion of Imperial Fried Rice today, with three judges plus 20 diners, at least 23 servings.
Intuitively, Song Zixuan takes too few eggs, but when he usually cooks imperial fried rice, he only puts one egg in each serving.
Even if the amount of fried rice that is usually served is divided into three portions, it is also taken according to the score.
Then, the two put the rice into the pot and stir-fried, and at this point, the speed of the two was basically the same.
But it was at this point that Song Zixuan reached a critical time.
The most important of all the steps of the emperor fried rice is to say that the inside runs through every grain of rice and every egg flower, due to the proficiency produced by the long-term fried emperor fried rice, Song Zixuan will thoroughly pour the inside into this step.
Looking at Song Zixuan's movements, Baylor couldn't help but be stunned, if the operation just now was the time for him to show off his cooking skills, then now is the time for him to marvel at Song Zixuan's cooking skills.
From a layman's point of view, Baylor's movements are obviously more beautiful and chic, but in Baylor's eyes, Song Zixuan's movements are slow, but solid.
Every time you shake the wok and spoon, it is a concentrated adjustment, and the reason why the word adjustment is used is because Song Zixuan's movements are too delicate.
The average chef stir-fries ten times, not as much as he shakes the wok and spoon once, because just this time, the heat and the flavor of the condiments can be thoroughly and evenly stir-fried in the ingredients.
Wonderful!
At this point, Baylor's previous confidence has been greatly reduced, because Song Zixuan's stir-fry method, he may not be able to do it.
Seeing that the two of them started to fry rice, one of the judges nodded slowly: "It's worthy of Baylor, this cooking skill is ......."
"Yes, I've heard of Baylor's name for a long time, and I really didn't know that his cooking skills were so exquisite!" "Haha, look at Song Zixuan again, is that stir-frying? It seems that he is not as professional as my wife's stir-frying." ”
"I also think that this Song Zixuan ...... Is it really the chef of Imperial Fried Rice?"
"Do you think it's because he knows that he will lose, so he just finds a stand-in to compete? After all, Song Zixuan also has some status in the chef world, and the emperor fried rice is so popular......
"Well, there is this possibility, everyone is busy making a lot of money, and they are too lazy to compare, not to mention that they will definitely lose. ”
Listening to the words of these judges, Huang Fa smiled, covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Still a stand-in? This stepping horse is the real body, Wen Kui, this Song Zixuan is not good." ”
"Hehe, master, let's think too highly of him, you look at his stupid way of stir-frying, it's better for me to go. ”
"Hahaha, you, when did you learn to be humorous?" said Huang Fa laughed.
Tian Wenkui sneered, and his eyes became cold: "Master, I don't think it's humorous, this kid hurts me...... I almost went in, and I wished he was ruined. ”
At this time, Baylor and Song Zixuan finished the imperial fried rice almost at the same time, and they were both serving rice out of the pot.
The staff had already placed more than 20 bowls on the small table next to the two of them, and as for the amount, the two chefs weighed it themselves, in short, each bowl had to hold some.
When the rice was served, it was obvious that there was more rice in each bowl on Baylor's side, he looked at Song Zixuan's side, and said with a smile: "Less preparation?"
Song Zixuan shook his head and smiled: "It's not much, let's start." ”
Baylor nodded, and immediately signaled that the judges could taste it.
The staff delivered six bowls of rice to the two judges, and at the same time, began to select diners from the crowd who could be the public judges.
At this moment, the onlookers outside were simply crazy, and they all raised their hands and squeezed forward.
After all, the price of imperial fried rice at 899 yuan can be described as aristocratic food, and there are still many poor people in any city.
Today, it is a rare opportunity to taste it for free, and diners really start to scramble.
In the end, the staff randomly selected twenty diners, and only Huang Fa knew that even among these twenty people, ten of them were his predetermined people, so as to ensure Baylor's victory.
Soon, the chosen ones entered the middle space and began to receive two imperial fried rice servings in turn, and then began to taste them.
When the judges ate the imperial fried rice, it was obvious that their expressions were surprised.
"It's ...... Imperial fried rice? It's really delicious. ”
"Haven't you eaten it? I tried it once before in the Great Food Generation, and the taste is exactly the same, it seems that this Song Zixuan is really the chef of the emperor's fried rice." ”
"I haven't eaten it either, but it tastes amazing, I don't know how they make it. ”
"But...... Seriously, it's really hard to judge if you really comment on it, these two fried rice taste exactly the same. ”
"Yes, I can't eat the difference, this is really an evil sect, could it be that both of them have mastered the secret recipe?"
"Hey, whatever, it's just Baylor winning today. The judge said, eating up the fried rice made by Song Zixuan.
The host walked up to the judges' seat and said, "Okay, our judges have all tasted it, let's let them comment on the two imperial fried rice." ”
One of the judges took the microphone and said, "The two contestants have excellent cooking skills, but I think in terms of taste, Baylor's rice is more delicious, and I choose Baylor to win." ”
"My opinion is similar, the two of them have the same cooking skills, but the process of fried rice is not the same, Song Zixuan uses a pressure cooker, while Baylor uses more meticulous cooking skills, I choose Baylor. ”
The third judge didn't seem to have finished chewing the rice in his mouth, and said, "Well, I also have this opinion, Baylor wins!"
Hearing this decision, Song Zixuan smiled and said nothing.
Baylor on the side smiled: "Don't pay attention to it, see how the diners react." ”
Song Zixuan nodded when he heard this, but didn't say anything.
The voting of the public judges is based on standing in line voting, that is, who thinks it tastes better, just stand in the line in front of that person.
For this, Huang Hai was not worried at all, twenty diners plus three judges, a total of twenty-three votes, as long as it reached twelve votes, Baylor won.
Nine of his public judges were arranged by him, which made him feel at ease.
Soon, everyone began to stand in line.
The nine diners arranged by the yellow hair naturally stood in front of Baylor without any entanglement, after all, they took the money, and they must do something.
And the remaining eleven people were divided.
"I don't care, I'm going to side with Baylor, he's so handsome. ”
"But...... Song Zixuan is from the ferry gate, do you vote for Yanjing?"
"It's just a food contest, and if there's a place to win or lose, I'll be on Baylor's side, you guys are free. ”
In the final result, there were nine people in front of Song Zixuan and eleven people in front of Baylor.
In fact, for more diners, the taste of these two fried rice is superb, and it is indistinguishable.
However, due to different attitudes, some people liked Baylor's chic, so they stood up, and the rest of them supported the local chef as ferrymen and stood on Song Zixuan's side.
In fact, no matter how you can judge, as long as there are no neutral judges, it is difficult to distinguish the real superiority.
After standing in line, the host came over and said, "Okay, then I'll announce the results of today's competition between the two chefs of Dumen and Yanjing.
Add the votes of the three judges, Baylor fourteen votes, and Song Zixuan Chef nine votes, and I declare that the winner is ......"
"Wait!"
At this moment, a slightly old but neutral voice entered the crowd.
For a moment, everyone forgot about the past.
I saw a white-haired old man walk in, he was wearing a brown Tang costume and horse coat, although he looked quite old, he was in good spirits.
Seeing this old man, Baylor frowned slightly, and couldn't help but gasp, as if he had thought of something.
"Hehe, can you ...... Let the old man taste a bowl?"
"This ......" the host looked at Huang Hai, after all, he was the organizer.
Yellow hair shook his head slowly.
"I'm sorry old man, our rules ...... game"
The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with the rules, the old man is hungry, so he should beg for a bowl of rice." ”
Baylor and Song Zixuan glanced at each other, both nodded, and then took out some more from their pots, although it was less than a bowl, but it was enough to taste.
"Sir, try it. Song Zixuan said.
Baylor walked up to the old man with the meal: "Elder Ling, I didn't expect you to come, it seems that today's victory and defeat ...... It's all in this half bowl of rice. ”
Ling Lao glanced at Baylor and said with a smile, "Baylor is polite. ”
He took the two bowls of rice and looked at them first, and his eyes were full of seriousness, as if he wanted to judge with his eyes that the dinner was better.
He placed the meal on the table, took a bite of each with a spoon, and smiled at once.
It seems that there is already a judgment in mind.
