When Liu Ling'er was talking to the three people, three more people who looked like officials entered from the door, and it was still those three people, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, the Lord Rui, the Nian who was in charge of food and food safety, and the famous chef Hu Yan in Jinhailou, who was once the champion of three food competitions.

Ma Wenbing quickly searched for the impression of Hu Yan in his mind, and finally it was a sentence given to him by others: he was the champion of three food competitions.

What can Ma Wenbing see? The poor man in the ravine and valley has never been to the nearby towns, and he does not know that the herbs in the ancestral tomb made him come to the capital.

When the three cooks entered the courtyard, they went straight to the table and sat down, and together they took out a box again and took out a piece of paper.

I saw two words written on the piece of paper, "cabbage".

A soldier then came down to report the test questions, "The second round of the knockout round test questions is cabbage, and the time is a pillar of incense." ”

Last time, the test question was tofu, and now it is cabbage, which is extremely vegetarian, is it possible that after eating too much greasy and changing to a vegetarian diet?

Now that the test questions have come out, it's useless to think about so many useless things, or the competition is more important, so everyone began to think about how to cook.

Liu Yiyi also tilted his head and thought, he made a lot of cabbage in his life, but it was made with other ingredients, such as vermicelli cabbage, pig intestine cabbage, goose white stepping, etc., that is, the theme is not cabbage, if the theme is white wood, it will be a dish: fried cabbage.

Stir-fried cabbage is too simple, no matter how delicious it is, it doesn't look good, so it's not a good choice.

Liu asked Ma Wenbing helplessly: "What do you have in mind?"

Ma Wenbing also searched the dictionary in his mind, but there were a few cabbage as the theme, and the most picky one was the boiling water cabbage.

"Boiling cabbage?"

After hearing the word Ma Wenbing, Liu Ling'er and Liu were extremely surprised, and the explanation from the name was that boiling cabbage was simpler than stir-frying cabbage.

Ma Wenbing strongly recommended and explained, boiling water cabbage is so and so......

In the end, Liu Ling'er said: "Daddy, I believe in Senior Brother Wenbing, we will believe him, and we will make that boiling cabbage!"

Liu reluctantly agreed, he didn't have a good idea, this time the food competition was strange, it made him unable to play his skills in his life, so he could only shout at the empty valley.

"Wenbing, what materials do you need, my father and I will help you prepare. Liu Ling'er said with a smile.

Ma Wenbing said:

Chinese cabbage is very tender, 2500 grams of old hen, 200 grams of ham hooves, 500 grams of pork ribs, 300 grams of dried scallops, 700 grams of peeled and lean chicken breast, 300 grams of whole lean pork, 10 grams of salt, 10 grams of cooking wine, 50 grams of green onions, 10 grams of ginger, 4 liters of water.

After preparing the materials that Ma Wenbing needed, Ma Wenbing began to make them according to his memory, first boiling the clear water broth. The old hen is cut well, washed, the scallops are soaked well, and the washed ham, hooves, ribs, etc. are put into different boiling water pots according to the category to blanch, remove blood and impurities, remove and wash again, put them into a large soup pot together, add water, ginger and green onions, add cooking wine after boiling, turn the heat and boil slowly for 3 hours. At the same time, chop the chicken breast and lean pork into puree, add an appropriate amount of water respectively to make a porridge and set aside. After the soup is boiled to 3 o'clock, use a sieve to isolate all the soup residue and oil slick. Pour the clear soup into another pot, bring to a boil, add the minced pork and stir well, turn to medium heat, wait for it to spread slowly, the minced meat floats, use a colander to clean the minced meat; then boil the soup again, divide the minced chicken into 2 times, treat it the same as the minced pork; finally completely separate the slag and remove the oil, wait for the soup to be fresh and clear as water, add salt to taste, and set aside. Divide the soup into two pots. Select the best and most tender cabbage hearts, put them in one of the pots of broth, burn them until they are seven ripe, cool them with water, puncture them repeatedly with a fine silver needle, put them in a colander and pour them from top with the original broth until the cabbage hearts are cooked. Place the choy sum at the bottom of the bowl, bring another pot of stock to a boil, scoop into the bowl and serve.

It seems simple to look at, but it contains a delicious taste, a combination of meat and vegetables, nutritious and delicious.

When Ma Wenbing put this boiling water cabbage in front of the three adults, even they were surprised, what is this? I thought Ma Wenbing was stirring up the situation.

"What kind of dish is this?" asked Grandpa Rui curiously.

Ma Wenbing said confidently: "Boiling water cabbage, this dish sounds unpretentious, but it shows the kung fu of lining the soup." Boiling water cabbage with clear chicken broth. This soup should be mixed into the boiling pot with old hens, old ducks, ham and hoof meat, pork ribs, dried scallops and other ingredients, add cooking wine, onion and garlic and other condiments to prepare at least 4 hours, and then chop the chicken breast meat to the paste, pour it into a slurry with fresh soup, and pour it into the pot to absorb impurities. After repeated adsorption two or three times, the chicken soup in the pot, which was originally slightly turbid, is now as clear and clear as boiling water, with a strong and mellow fragrance, not oily or greasy, and refreshing. The cabbage should be selected to be the raw material of the unripe Chinese cabbage, only the yellowed tender heart is selected, slightly blanched and then cooled with water, and then poured with "boiling water" chicken soup until it is cooked. Of course, the blanched white material consommé should be discarded, and the blanched cabbage sum should be put into the bottom of the bowl and gently poured in the fresh chicken soup to make the dish counted. At first glance, the soup is clear and watery, and there is no oil star, but it smells fragrant, and it is fresh and soft in the mouth, which is better than all kinds of delicacies. This dish, made from carefully selected cabbage hearts and boiled clear broth, looks unpretentious, but shows the skill of soup-making. After the dish is cooked, the soup is mellow and elegant, clear to the bottom, the color of the dish is tender and green, the form is gorgeous, the feeling is clear and pleasant, the smell is elegant and fragrant, the food is soft and tender and the residue is dissolved, and the fresh fragrance is abnormal.

Ma Wenbing finished fluently in one breath, just like an endorsement, even Liu Linger and Liu Yiyi were shocked, and the other three judges, they all tasted it, and it was really as Ma Wenbing's, it was so delicious that it was a little embarrassing not to give a high score.

One 95, one 96 and one 93, although this score is not the highest, but there should be no problem in playing the third round, which is the final on the Golden Luang Palace.

Liu Yi's face was like bitter gourd, and bitter gourd bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and he kept praising Ma Wenbing, and walked towards the courtyard gate, because they were the first to finish, so the specific results of the game would not come out until the afternoon.

When Ma Wenbing and the three of them walked towards the courtyard gate, the rest of the people were still cooking, they were very envious of Ma Wenbing, but they cast strange eyes.

As for what they do, it is also varied, such as the northern and southern soup, the east is sweet and the west is spicy, and they still make it according to their own characteristics.

Beilu Luquanxiang made a bowl of braised cabbage, plus the ancestral braised recipe, anything can be browned, and it is delicious.

The master of Nantang soup boiled a bowl of cabbage soup, but he used twenty cabbages and took the essence of its essence, so that bowl was a concentrated boutique, and the taste was naturally indescribable.

Master Dong Tiantian made a dessert with cabbage heart, and also put out a peony flower in full bloom, with cream, which is very beautiful.

Sister Xila Sisi made a hot and sour cabbage, the whole cabbage did not move at all, and the chopsticks touched it lightly, and the cabbage bloomed on all sides, like a work of art.

A few people from the Western Regions made even more peculiar and bizarre dishes, adding their favorite curry powder, and they made the white puffs into a mushy paste, not to mention it.

After the end of this competition, the top 10 were selected to enter the finals, and the names of the top 10 were pasted on red paper.

In an instant, the capital became lively, and everyone was talking about who would be the champion in the end? The major casinos were also crowded, and those gamblers were counting on changing their fate at once.

In the end, every Rao odds came out, and Ma Wenbing's odds were 11.5 to 11.5, which was the highest, no wonder, who made him a nameless student?

Ma Wenbing and the three of them returned to the inn, and those people in the inn also knew that Ma Wenbing had entered the finals, especially the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, who were particularly warm and polite.

"Congratulations, to be able to enter the finals, it can also make our store happy, hahaha...... I'm free of all the food for the last few of you tonight. ”

The shopkeeper is rich, his waist hangs in the balance, he doesn't care about that little money, he cares about bringing joy to his inn.

Soon after Ma Wenbing and the three of them entered the room, the second shop really delivered a sumptuous meal, and a table full of big dishes was sure to be true

Liu Yikou sat at the top, Ma Wenbing sat at the bottom, and Xiang and Liu Ling'er sat on the left and right, looking at such a table of good dishes, they suddenly had a great appetite.

Liu Yikou suddenly asked curiously, "Xiang, where are your mother-in-law and grandfather? Why didn't you ask them to eat together?"

After getting along for such a long time, everyone has a very good and deep relationship, since there is such a table of good dishes, why not share it together?

Xiang replied, "Mother-in-law and Grandpa have gone home. ”

"Their home is here, so why have they been living in the inn?" Liu asked suspiciously, since he arrived in the capital, he didn't hear that they had a home here, why did he suddenly go home now?

"Their home is not nearby, it is relatively remote, so accompany me to stay at the inn first, and they will come back when they go back." Xiang replied.

Xiang's words are true, the home of the blind man and the lame man is indeed not far from the city, and it is not inconvenient to take the kidnapping operation to the inn this time, so he plans to find a remote house in his hometown.

Since Ma Wenbing and the three of them went out to compete, the blind man and the crippled man came back to talk to Xiang about it, but fortunately, Xiang also knew where their hometown was, and they had been there twice, so they agreed.

Xiang was bored waiting in the inn, and the two people from the Western Regions also went out to participate in the competition, Xiang thought about it and slipped into their room, not only did she see that the four spirit paintings were still there, but she also found something strange under the bed.

"Okay, since I'm home, I won't call them, let's go, these dishes make my mouth water just by hearing the name, hehe......" Liu inserted a chopstick into the fish body after a mouthful, skillfully adding up a piece of delicious fish meat.

The next four people chatted while eating, chatting about being able to enter the finals this time, not to mention how happy they were, especially Liu Yikou, who has been sitting in the imperial kitchen for decades, has participated in every food competition, but none of them have entered the finals, and they are very unhappy about this.

"Wen Bing, this time you can give your master a long face, and when you enter the palace, there are also my good friends back then, and I can also meet them with honor. Liu said while eating a lot of food, he hadn't seen those old friends for several years, and this time he had to take a good opportunity to get together with them.

"Daddy, if you can enter the finals this time, there will be some rewards more or less, right?" Liu Ling'er continued, the food competition is the biggest event in the country, and the people of the whole country are concerned, and they can be so envied if they can enter the finals, this reward should always be a little.

Liu Ling'er thought so, but she was a little conflicted in her heart, worried that if Ma Wenbing was lucky enough to get a neighbor, she would be accepted into the palace as an imperial chef, which was not what she saw, let alone ..... What's more, Xiang is still a princess, and she will definitely stay in the palace in the future.

"There will be rewards, it depends on the degree of high heart, if you are extremely happy, it is not necessary to reward a house, and it is not necessary to leave Ma Wenbing as a horse master. ”

Liu was unabashed, and a sentence came out to make Ma Wenbing and the three of them have their own thoughts.

Ma Wenbing and Xiang lowered their heads and didn't speak, Liu Ling'er was angry and anxious, "Daddy, what are you talking about?

Liu laughed, knowing that his words made Ma Wenbing a little embarrassed, but he didn't feel anything, so he continued to eat food.

"By the way, Xiang, did you find anything left in the inn?" Liu asked suddenly.

Xiang was about to do this, so she replied, "Not long after you left, the two of them also went to the competition, and I sneaked into their room. ”

"Oh, did you find anything?" Liu Ling'er asked with wide eyes.

"I found a lot of ropes, knives, hooks, bows, broken spears, axes, and hammers under their beds. Xiang said softly, when she saw those things, they were all frozen, could it be that those two people were murderers? But they didn't look very alike? That old man was too old, and he didn't have the strength, who could he kill?

......

After a lot of incense about those things, Liu Yikou, Ma Wenbing and Liu Ling'er were all taken aback, if they weren't butchers and murderers, who would bring those things?

Now the evidence is conclusive, Daddy, why don't we go and report to the officer? Let the officers and soldiers arrest both of them. Liu Linger said.

Liu pondered: "Don't startle the snake for the time being, there is no evidence to prove that they have done bad things, and those things alone cannot be proved, and besides, our country's laws do not prohibit those who bring those things, we continue to keep an eye on them, but these days, everyone pays attention to safety, and they are vigilant when they sleep at night!"
