Chapter 30: The Taste of Love
In the first round of the Caiwang Competition, he officially entered the evaluation and scoring link.
The 12 judges, including the chief judge Xue Chunyan, were all from Handong and other urban areas in Qinchuan Province, including Qin'an, the provincial capital.
Except for some pseudo-experts who are indiscriminate, most of them are top figures in the fields of vegetable cultivation and catering in the province.
Jiang Yufan's vegetable promotion and display just now was a little different, which left a very deep impact on the audience and some experts, and several review experts looked at Jiang Yufan and nodded frequently.
After a while, the scoring results of the judges came out, and the on-site scorekeeper calculated and ranked the scores, and finally handed over the total results of the first round to the host.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the results of the first round of this year's Caiwang Contest have come out! Next, I would like to invite Ms. Xue Chunyan, president of the Provincial Vegetable Association and an expert in food and catering, to announce the results of the first round of the competition!"
The exhibitors, the audience and the audience in front of the TV have focused their eyes on Xue Chunyan.
Feeling the anxious gaze, Xue Chunyan unhurriedly unfolded the scoring sheet.
"Now, it's up to me to announce the results of the first round of this year's Caiwang Competition!" Xue Chunyan glanced at it slightly, and then said slowly.
"The third place in the total score is Jiangbei Green Farm, congratulations!" Xue Chunyan announced with a smile.
Pan Dajiang, the owner of Jiangbei Green Farm, was overjoyed when he heard the results, because the top three in the first round of the competition will enter the second round of the Caiwang Competition, and have the opportunity to compete for this year's championship and win the name of Caiwang!
Jiang Yufan is not in a hurry, he is still calm, he believes that his results should not be bad, and there should be no problem in successfully entering the second round of the finals.
"Second place Lanyu Ecological Farm!"
......
"No. 1 Jumei Vegetable Village!"
Xue Chunyan successively announced the list of the top three vegetable suppliers shortlisted for the second round of the competition.
Ouyang Made glanced at Jiang Yufan proudly, signaling that Jiang Yufan had won.
Jiang Yufan didn't care, he directly raised two middle fingers at him, and gave him a contemptuous look in return, and Ouyang Made, who was angry, was flushed and speechless.
......
"Great! Our farm is in the finals!"
"Yes, but that Ouyang Made actually won the first place in the first round, it's shameless!"
"Are the judges blind! The vegetables in our farm are so good! Why don't you rank us first!"
In the conference room of Lanyu Ecological Farm in Xiling Village, everyone was talking.
"Okay, let's stop arguing! We will definitely win, we must have confidence in ourselves!" Zhou Xiaolan said to everyone with a calm face.
The farm suddenly returned to tranquility, and everyone stood by the TV together, silently cheering for Jiang Yufan.
......
The second round of the Caiwang Competition was attended by Jumei Vegetable Village, Jiangbei Green Farm and Lanyu Ecological Farm, which had just won the first round, and the remaining five vegetable exhibitors who missed the second round of the competition had to leave the venue temporarily.
In the second round of the competition, three vegetable vendors were free to choose a hotel chef to make a dish using their own vegetables.
Since the purpose of the competition is mainly to select high-quality vegetables, determine the king of vegetables this year.
Therefore, the second round of the competition stipulates that the dishes to be produced should be as natural as possible to maintain the original flavor of the vegetables.
Jiang Yufan and others sat down from the stage to the stage this time, and more than a dozen backstage staff rearranged the booth.
Three cooking stoves were temporarily erected on the stand.
The hardware is ready, and the second round is about to begin.
Jiang Yufan decided that Cui Zhongyuan, the chef of Ning'an Hotel, would represent him in the competition. Jiangbei Green Farm chose the chef of Handong Hotel.
Ouyang Made directly invited the top chef of the Qindu Hotel in Qin'an City, the provincial capital, to play for himself.
The three chefs are in place, the vegetables, condiments, etc. have also been prepared, and the host officially announced the official start of the second round of the competition!
For a while, the knives on the table were flying and in full swing, and all kinds of vegetables were cut into various shapes by the chefs' exquisite knife skills.
They either fried in oil, or carefully arranged, their expressions were focused, their faces were calm, and Jiang Yufan and others in the audience were amazed.
Half an hour passed quickly, and since all the dishes were required to be vegetarian, all three were quickly completed.
On a large round table at the booth were dishes prepared by three of the hotel's chefs.
Handong Hotel uses vegetables from Jiangbei Green Farm to create three common dishes: potatoes and tomatoes, sautéed peas and stir-fried broccoli.
The three-course dishes are red and green, and they smell fragrant, and it seems that Pan Dajiang has also invested heavily in inviting famous chefs from Handong to help him this time.
Take a look at the Qindu Hotel, where their head chef has also made a three-course dish using Ouyang Made's vegetables. They are: stir-fried wheat cabbage, shredded radish salad and cucumber soup with green bamboo shoots.
The chefs of Qindu Hotel skillfully use the high-quality vegetables of Jumei Restaurant, combining hot and cold.
Especially considering the habit of the local people in Handong who like to drink soup, they focused on creating this bowl of green bamboo shoots and melon soup that seems to be ordinary, but is actually delicious and rich.
Finally, there is the dish made by Ning'an Hotel with Chinese cabbage, cucumber and radish exhibited by Lanyu Farm.
According to the plan discussed by Jiang Yufan and Du Yueshe in advance, Chef Cui of Ning'an Hotel decided to make these three most popular dishes in ordinary hotels.
Original refreshing cucumber, stir-fried cabbage leaves, radish and cabbage soup!
After all the dishes of the three hotels were made, the host randomly selected ten audience members on the stage to taste them separately. Then the audience who have finished tasting it will stand in front of the dish maker they are most satisfied with and vote.
While the 10 audience members were tasting and voting, the 12 judges in the audience tasted and judged at the same time.
Finally, the second round of results is calculated by the number of votes of the audience plus the votes of the judges, and the final results of this Caiwang Competition are obtained!
"Delicious!"
"Eun, yes, yes!"
"I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life!"
"Mommy, Mommy, I miss you!"
......
The 10 audience members on the stage screamed from time to time, and the delicious dishes had seriously stimulated their taste buds and nerves!
The audience that was not selected in the audience had to smell the fragrance wafting down from the stage and swallow their saliva vigorously!
At the same time, the judges who sat in the lead of the audience were equally intoxicated by these delicious foods.
Only the chief judge Xue Chunyan has not tasted it for a long time, she has traveled all over China all the year round, and almost tasted all the delicacies and dishes from all over the world.
Therefore, in the second round of the competition, Xue Chunyan was not as enthusiastic as other judges and audiences.
In her opinion, the taste of general dishes does not interest her much.
Before the competition, Ouyang Made of Jumei Vegetable Village approached her and promised to give her a river-view villa plus 3 million cash if she won the competition.
In the face of temptation, she had already acquiesced to Ouyang Made.
Because no matter how other judges or the audience score, the result can only account for 50% of the total score of the competition, and the other half of the score depends on her, the main judge!
However, in order to make the outside world look fair and just, Xue Chunyan still decided to follow the procedure and symbolically taste each family's dishes.
After tasting the dishes of Handong Hotel and Du Hotel, Xue Chunyan just nodded slightly, smiled symbolically, and expressed satisfaction.
It was his turn to try the dishes of the Ning'an Hotel, and as soon as she got closer, Xue Chunyan was suddenly attracted by a fragrance.
I saw Xue Chunyan gently pick up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, chewing it slightly.
Suddenly, Xue Chunyan trembled, as if her entire body and mind were hit by a magical force, and two words suddenly flashed in her mind: youth!
It's really been a long time since I've tasted such a delicious dish! Xue Chunyan couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart.
This long-lost feeling made her immediately interested, and it seemed that she had forgotten her agreement with Ouyang Made!
Xue Chunyan's hands trembled a little, she tried her best to restrain herself, and quickly picked up the second refreshing cucumber.
Cucumber entrance, youth I have!
Xue Chunyan suddenly felt that she wanted to sing, and her whole body seemed to be burning, passionate and violent!
This refreshing cucumber seemed to remind her of her first love. The feeling of passion, excitement and shyness suddenly made her face flush.
Finally, this bowl of radish and cabbage soup!
A spoonful of soup in her mouth, Xue Chunyan almost screamed!
That's right, the taste of mom when I was a child is back. Just heard the people on and off the stage excitedly shouting for her mother, she still felt naïve.
But at this moment, she also excitedly wanted to call out to her mother! Xue Chunyan's mother passed away when she was in elementary school.
Because of her young age, she can't remember her mother anymore.
I only remember that the soup cooked by my mother was very delicious when I was a child, but after my mother left for so many years, she traveled all over the world, and she could never find this taste and this feeling again.
It was the bowl of soup in front of her that made her regain the feeling of motherly love. In the cold winter, my mother hugged me and fed the soup to myself spoonful......
What money villa, what river view villa, she doesn't seem to care at all at the moment. In the future, as long as she can eat such delicious dishes from time to time, she will already feel no regrets in her life!
So, Xu Chunyan made a new decision in her heart......
