Chapter 69: Shih Tzu ravioli
Master Hou planted a blue flag on the stove in front of Wang Jue, and the blue flag represented promotion.
Seeing this, the audience on the sidelines immediately began to discuss.
"The first one to pass was not one of the three people who got a perfect score in the first round, but Wang Jue of the Jade Hotel. ”
"This kid has always been very steady, he can't go wrong, although he is not necessarily the best one, but he has no problem getting to the final at all. ”
"This jade dumpling is probably one of the signature dishes of the Jade Hotel, otherwise Wang Jue, who has always been steady, would not be the first to complete it. ”
......
Wang Jue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he was already determined to enter the next round, and he hurriedly set his sights on several other competitors.
Tan Yu of Jinyan was ramen, and there were several strange utensils on the table.
Fan Hu of Fengqilou clasped his ears with one hand and pressed the lid of the pot with the other, something was boiling in the pot, gurgling and steaming.
Look again... Well, let's take a look at Chen Mo, who got a full score in the first round, hey, he just started kneading dough, will there be enough time.
Chen Mo first blanched the refined flour with boiling water until it was six ripe.
When the flour is heated, it immediately forms a sticky dough.
Then add cold water and knead well.
In this way, the unruly dough is kneaded together and becomes a large oval-shaped ball.
Next, Chen Mo cut out 20 pieces of dough from the kneaded dough and rolled it into a thin dough cake about 2 mm thick.
Brush 10 of the dough cakes one by one, and stack the other 10 dough cakes with the 10 oiled dough cakes and roll them out into thin dough cakes.
"Strange, what is he doing here, why bother so much when he has to roll it into a thin dough?"
Chen Mo's strange behavior aroused Wang Jue's strong interest.
Roll out the pancakes and sear them over medium heat.
There are only 5 minutes left!
Chen Mo took out a potato and green pepper and skillfully shredded them.
"Oh, why did the big brother start cutting potatoes and green peppers again, is he going to make shredded potatoes with green peppers?" Ni Shuai looked at the time, anxious.
"I really don't understand him..."Xu Ming now also found that he was often confused about Chen Mo's cooking techniques.
At this moment, suddenly two people raised their hands at the same time to signal that they were done!
Zhao Ling looked at the time, then at Chen Mo, anxious.
The duck is still baking, the crepes are still burning, the green peppers and potatoes are still chopping... Nothing looks like it can be done, it's so dangerous.
At the same time, it was Tan Yu of Jinyan Tower and Fan Hu of Fengqi Tower.
Master Hong came to Fan Hu in Fengqi Tower first.
"What you did was... Wontons?" asked Master Hong.
"This is natural, but this is no ordinary ravioli, I call it Shih Tzu ravioli. Fan Hu smiled so charmingly that even Master Hong couldn't help but close his eyes.
As the host, Zhao Ling sniffed on the side, the clear soup base, round wontons floating in the soup, and could smell the faint aroma.
"This fragrance..."Zhao Ling saw the dried petals placed on the table at a glance.
"It turned out to be the scent of flower petals. ”
"That's right. Fan Hu threw his long hair behind him, lifted the bowl of wontons, presented it to Hong Qi, and said, "Everyone knows that Xi Shi is a famous beauty in history, and wontons named after such a beauty naturally cannot lack the taste of flowers." In the filling of each ravioli, I add dried flower petals, which absorb moisture through the dough and come alive in the ravioli, and the floral fragrance fills the whole ravioli. ”
After speaking, Fan Hu stretched the wonton forward and said, "Master Hong, please open your eyes and taste it." ”
"I've long since opened it..."
Fan Hu: "..."
Hong Qi took out chopsticks, put a wonton into the water, and took a bite of it, and the aroma of meat, vegetables, and flowers instantly filled his mouth.
"These are rose petals..."
I put two more wontons in my mouth.
"These are the petals of a chrysanthemum... Well, this one is a jasmine petal..."
Like Wang Jue's rooster jade dumplings, Hong Qi only ate three Shih Tzu wontons.
"The taste is okay, and it takes a lot of thought to add different petals that represent the aroma of beauty to each wrapped filling. So let me ask you, how does your Shih Tzu wonton embody the theme of inclusion?"
Fan Hu smiled, and said loudly: "Since ancient times, although Xi Shi is one of the four beauties recognized in ancient China, but born with a bad fate, when the Yue Kingdom fell, it was dedicated to the King of Wu by the King of Yue, and then the King of Yue tried to defeat the powerful Wu State, and Xi Shi regained his freedom. It was Xi Shi's tolerance that tempted King Wu, so that King Yue could recuperate and succeed in his final move. And the wontons I made, which are wrapped in different fillings, are also a reflection of tolerance. ”
Hong Qi nodded and said: "Using the ancient beauty Shih Tzu to embody the theme of tolerance, combining history and cuisine, the inclusiveness embodied in this Shih Tzu wonton is indeed great." ”
"Hey, hey, hey. Fan Hu was triumphant, thinking that the blue flag was already in my bag.
The Fan Hu cheerleaders on the sidelines had even celebrated in advance.
"Brother Fan, you are the best. ”
"We have your back, you must be a champion. ”
"No matter how beautiful Xi Shi is, he can't be as beautiful as Brother Fan. ”
......
"However, this dish will not be approved!" Chef Hong's words surprised the people present.
An embarrassed smile appeared on Fan Hu's face.
"Flood... Master Hong, are you mistaken, how can my food not pass?"
"Yes, Master Hong, this dish by Chef Fan Hu fits well with the two themes of our second round?" Xiao Feng also immediately asked Hong Qi.
"How can this be, although this Fan Hu Niang's is a little annoying, but I don't think there is a problem with this Shih Tzu wonton. Ni Shuai said very objectively.
"No..."Xu Ming shook his head, "Fan Hu's mistake is that he is smart and is mistaken by cleverness, even if he makes other noodles casually, as long as he doesn't make wontons, he can get promoted." ”
"Huh, why is that?" Ni Shuai hurriedly asked.
"You listen to Master Hong. Xu Ming raised his chin and motioned Ni Shuai to listen to Master Hong's explanation in the field.
"What you said about the history of Xi Shi is indeed true, but do you know that the noodle dish like wonton was actually invented by Xi Shi. Master Hong's words made Fan Hu's face change instantly.
According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wu Wangfu defeated the Yue Kingdom, captured the Yue King Goujian, and obtained a lot of gold and silver treasures. Especially after getting the peerless beauty Xi Shi, he got even more carried away, and indulged in singing, dancing and wine all day long, not asking about state affairs. When the winter solstice festival arrived, King Wu accepted the worship of hundreds of officials as usual, and the singing and dancing inside and outside the palace were leveled. Unexpectedly, during the feast, he was tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and he was displeased, and he didn't eat. Xi Shi saw all this, she took the opportunity to run into the imperial kitchen, and rolled the dough and skin, wanting to make a new type of dim sum to express her heart. After turning over a few tricks in her hand, the leather finally wrapped a kind of dustpan-style dim sum. Put it in boiling water, and the snacks will be flooded on the surface of the water one by one. She put it in a bowl, added fresh soup, sprinkled with green onions, garlic, pepper, and dripping sesame oil, and offered it to King Wu. When King Wu tasted it, it was extremely delicious, he ate a big bowl in one go, and asked repeatedly: "What kind of dim sum is this?" Xi Shi was secretly amused, thinking that this senseless and faint monarch was really chaotic all day long. Hearing the question, she casually replied: ravioli. ”
Fan Hu's smile disappeared completely...
