Everyone was waiting for Chen Mo's explanation, after all, the pasta made by Chen Mo was still a little different from Tan Yu and Wang Jue.

Chen Mo did not show the slightest concern, his voice was full of confidence.

"The lotus leaf cake I made can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. About 2,000 years ago, the Qin State unified the remaining six countries and established the Qin Dynasty. Before the reunification, the seven countries all had a cake dish similar to lotus leaf cake, with different names and practices, but they were also similar. There are white pancakes from Qi country, flour pancakes from Chu country, burritos from Yan country, pancakes from Zhao country, baked buns from Korea, etc. After the unification of the Qin State, in addition to the unification of writing, coins, etc., the bread and diet of various countries were also unified. The Qin people comprehensively considered the tastes of people from all over the world, and carefully developed the dough cakes, using small tin cans to fill 30 cakes, and each diner took a jar of cakes every time they ate, as small as oranges, the jar had a lid, which could be stored, and the fillings could be added according to the tastes of various countries, wrapped and eaten. Because at that time, when people wrapped the cake and filling, they were wrapped on a clean lotus leaf, so it was called a lotus leaf cake, which has been passed down to this day. My lotus leaf cake reflects the Qin Dynasty's establishment of the unification of the whole country, and also accommodates the tastes of the other six countries, and develops a spirit of tolerance that can adapt to the population of each country. ”

Chen Mo's history of the Qin State's dough cake also made the people present fascinated.

Not to mention foodies like Ni Shuai and Xu Ming, even Tan Yu, Wang Jue, and even Master Hong learned about the history and origin of lotus leaf cakes for the first time.

No one thought that such a small piece of pizza would have such a great knowledge.

Without waiting for Master Hong to speak, Chen Mo spoke again and continued.

"I use lotus leaf cakes, which are divided into meat and vegetarian ingredients, which also reflects the inclusiveness of lotus leaf cakes as pasta, which can be eaten with roast duck slices, green pepper and potato shreds, and even other ingredients. In addition, my lotus leaf cake is as thin as a moon, and then wrapped in roast duck to eat, which is exactly how to eat Peking duck. Peking duck was originally a dish in the court, in the Jiajing period, from the court to the people, and a hundred years ago, to Europe, now has become famous all over the world. This dish carries the foreign understanding of Chinese food culture, and the private court cuisine has spread all over the world, which also reflects the tolerance of Chinese food culture. ”

In one breath, Chen Mo actually included all the three dishes he made.

And that's not all.

After a pause, Chen Mo continued: "Actually, the inspiration for this dish came from my grandfather. When I was a child, once my grandfather took me to make noodles and prepare to make dumplings to eat, but I didn't know how to make noodles, so I accidentally used hot water to make noodles, causing some of the noodles to be soaked in hot water and clump together. As we all know, dumplings should be wrapped with cold water and noodles, so that they are refreshing and chewy, and the dumpling skin is not easy to break. But my grandfather didn't blame me, but continued to use these doughs, added cold water and kneaded well, and made another kind of pasta for me to eat, which is the lotus leaf cake I made today. At that time, my grandfather took me to his own field to pick a few green peppers and potatoes, made a crisp green pepper shredded potato, and then wrapped in this lotus leaf cake, fresh green ingredients with my grandfather's thin lotus leaf cake, I can't stop, I still remember it. My grandfather's tolerance allowed me to learn the dishes I was interested in from a young age and watch my grandfather cook in the kitchen. So when I saw these two themes, I immediately thought of this noodle dish. ”

After Chen Mo finished speaking, the audience was silent.

Then, there was sporadic applause in the audience.

Gradually, the applause began to be continuous, and slowly, the audience was full of warm applause.

Cheers and whistles followed.

Ni Shuai was even more infected by the atmosphere of the audience, and used the strength of the glory of the king to press the big move, and his hands were about to be red.

"It's so touching. Zhao Ling pinched the bridge of her nose and the corner of her eyes with her hand, as if holding back tears, but her eyes were already slightly red.

The applause fell, and everyone turned their eyes on Master Hong, who was standing in front of Chen Mo.

Clearing his throat, Master Hong's hoarse voice sounded.

"I was really moved by the content of this dish. First of all, the dough cake made after the unification of the whole country in the Qin Dynasty reflects the spirit of tolerance of the Qin people, followed by the inclusiveness of the dough cake in terms of eating can wrap any ingredient, then the inclusiveness of Chinese food culture, and finally the personal experience, which speaks of the tolerance that the grandfather embodied to himself when he was a child. This kind of comprehensive, meticulous, and grateful heart presents a multi-dimensional inclusive theme, how can it not be passed!"

Master Hou's words immediately made the audience cheer.

Chen Mo also grinned happily and waved to Ni Shuai and the others who were excited in the stands.

"Chen Mo can flexibly use various ingredients in such a short period of time, including smearing oil on the dough cake, making separable moon halo pancakes, making roast duck but only taking duck skin, making half-cooked shredded green pepper potatoes, these three things, taking any of them, are not finished dishes, but when the three foods are combined together, they burst out with amazing energy, and the spirit of tolerance embodied is far beyond the expectations of this round of competition, there is no doubt that Chen Mo, pass!"

The venue, which was quiet when Master Hong spoke, became lively again when he heard Chen Mo's judgment.

"Chen Mo, I'm your fan!"

"Where is Chen Mo's food house, I'm going to try it tomorrow. ”

"Chen Mo, I support you to become the champion of this Cup, and the 4th Youth Cup must belong to you!"

......

"Oh, this game is good-looking, Tan Yu, who had the advantage in momentum just now, I'm afraid he has no advantage in front of Chen Mo now. Xu Ming smiled as he spoke.

"Big brother seems to have a chance to win the championship!" Ni Shuai was even more excited as if he had a chance to win the championship.

In this way, the second round of the competition is over, this round of the game can be called cruel, the first round of more than 20 people, only Chen Mo, Tan Yu, Wang Jue three people into the final round, the second cup champion Fan Hu also regretted out in this round.

There are only three people left, and the third round is the final round!

"Today's competition is really exciting, especially in the second round, so that the people on the scene, including Zhao Ling and me, have a deep understanding of the breadth and profundity of Chinese food culture. Now on the stage are the champion chefs who have won the first and third cup competitions, Tan Yu and Wang Jue, as well as Chen Mo, who participated in the cup with a wild card but reached the final as a dark horse! The last round is the final round, let us look forward to a more exciting showdown!"

At this time, the big screen began to show the final title.
