In the hall of the Xiangjiang Manhan Building.

All the lights were turned off, and the scene of flowers and flowers disappeared like a passing cloud during the game just now.

Only Ou Jiahui hung her head silently and sat on the floor in the center of the hall

Peng Yichen and Zhao Gangsheng stood beside her, both silent.

"I know that saying 10,000 words of sorry will not undo the mistakes I made. Ou Jiahui apologized sadly.

She picked up a piece of elephant meat on the ground and threw it aside.

Her father, Ou Zhaofeng, pushed the wheelchair, walked over slowly, picked up the elephant that Ou Jiahui threw on the ground, and tasted it directly in his mouth.

"Well, it tastes really good, it's definitely better than Huang Rong's. The meat is tender and chewy to chew. ”

Everyone listened to him, picked up a piece from the ground, put it in their mouths, and ate it.

At this moment, Peng Yichen also took the initiative to stand up and said: "We don't have to be discouraged, as long as we prepare carefully, we will definitely win tomorrow's monkey brain competition." ”

Everyone laughed when they saw the confidence on his face.

Seeing that everyone had regained their confidence, Peng Yichen said another thought in his heart.

"I don't know if you've thought about it, but the materials we used in the first two days of the competition were all top-quality ingredients imported from abroad legally. But tomorrow's monkey brain competition will have to use the brains of live monkeys. According to the laws of Hong Kong, it is definitely illegal to do so. What are we going to do if someone catches this and sues us at the animal protection department?"

When everyone heard this, they all felt that he was right.

"Since Master Liao raised this question, there must be a solution. "Long Kunbao reacted the fastest.

Peng Yichen nodded with a smile and told everyone his solution.

……

The next night, the third game of the Manchurian Quan arrived as scheduled.

"After the first and second rounds, the two sides were tied, so tonight's monkey brain became the key to the final victory. Representatives of both sides are invited to appear. The master of ceremonies briefly introduced the situation of the first two days of the competition.

Huang Rong quickly walked out from behind and stood where he was cooking.

On the other side, the position of Manhanlou cooking is empty at this time.

"Please ask the representative of the Manhan Building to come out as soon as possible. The master of ceremonies shouted again.

Just when everyone thought that Peng Yichen and they were afraid of losing the game, they simply didn't come.

Peng Yichen suddenly walked in from outside the door with Ou Jiahui and Zhao Gangsheng.

Huang Rong saw that Peng Yichen and them arrived so late, and immediately provoked: "Judges, the representatives of Manhanlou arrived so late, which shows that they do not respect the judges, let alone the people in the catering industry who are present. ”

Peng Yichen had already guessed that he would say this, and explained to everyone with a smile: "Judges, colleagues in the catering industry. There's a reason we're here so late today. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Huang Rong opposite him and said with a smile: "Just now we contacted the animal protection organization and the Fisheries and Agriculture Department in Xiangjiang, and they said that someone reported to them today that someone made a dish for protected animals to eat in Manhan Tower. Wild monkeys are indeed protected animals under Chinese law and Xiangjiang law, so today we can no longer use monkey brains as the main course of the competition. We would like to apply to the judges to change the main dish of today's competition. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar.

Everyone didn't expect that a cooking competition would attract the attention of relevant government departments.

Huang Rong heard that Peng Yichen and the others had destroyed the 'killer weapon' they had originally intended to use at the end, his face turned blue, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

The three judges discussed alcoholism with each other and finally came to an agreement.

Hou Xiaotian, the heir of Fangshan, as a representative, looked at Peng Yichen and said: "Since the government does not allow it, of course the main dish of today's game needs to be replaced." Since it was Man Hanlou who put forward this opinion, I don't know what main dish you think should be changed tonight. ”

Peng Yichen thought for a while and said with a smile: "In the first two days, we all used top-quality ingredients as the main dishes of the competition. But I've heard the saying that a really good chef is one who can make the best food in the world from the most ordinary ingredients. Only by turning decay into magic can a chef's ability be truly reflected. Although the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets were a famous banquet in the Qing Dynasty, there were also dishes that made ordinary ingredients into top-notch dishes, so I would like to ask the three judges to immediately select an ordinary ingredient and improvise it on the spot, so as to truly reflect our culinary skills. ”

After hearing this, several judges discussed it for a while, and Hou Xiaotian spoke: "Manhanlou's opinion is very good, I don't know if Master Huang of Chaofan Group accepts this proposal." ”

Huang Rong looked at Peng Yichen, who was looking at him squintingly across the street, and his arrogant personality made him unable to say anything to refuse.

"As long as the three judges have no opinion, I'm fine. I believe that with my cooking skills, no matter what ingredients I use, I can make the most delicious dishes in the world. Huang Rong looked at Peng Yichen provocatively and said nonchalantly.

"Well, since there is no opinion on both sides of the game. Then the main dish of tonight's game, we will change: cabbage. ”

As soon as Hou Xiaotian's words were finished, all the guests in the hall who were proficient in cooking were in an uproar.

When it comes to cabbage, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is a vegetable that northern families used to store and keep for the winter season.

In the cold winter, all kinds of greenhouse vegetables can not replace the status of Chinese cabbage in people's minds. It is light and delicious, delicious and can be cooked in a variety of ways, whether stir-fried, steamed, simmered, cold dressed, or pickled, it can be made into a delicious dish.

It can be said that cabbage may be a common main dish in the Manchu and Han banquets.

Huang Rong heard that the judges chose cabbage, and his heart was also tight, he didn't expect the judges to choose such a featureless main dish.

After thinking about it for a while, he could only start cooking in the way he was best at.

"Next, I'm going to make a 'cabbage shark fin soup' for everyone to taste. ”

"The taste of cabbage is light and ordinary, and ordinary people use it to cook, and they often use heavy ingredients to enhance the flavor. However, if such a method is simple and crude, it cannot be called a top-notch ingredient. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a large piece of shark fin from the side.

"I chose to use the top quality shark fin with cabbage. Shark fin has a subtle fishy smell, but it is often not easily noticeable and can trigger the violence gene hidden in the human heart. Therefore, most successful people like to eat shark fin. Me too. I'll first stir-fry the nine wings with oil."

After Huang Rong finished speaking, he used a large soup spoon to hold the shark fin and rolled it back and forth in the oil pot a few times. Quickly took out the pot and shook it in mid-air, and there was not a drop of oil left on the shark fin.

Then choose the most tender and delicious cabbage among the cabbages. ”

I saw him take a cabbage handed over by his assistant with both hands, take the kitchen knife, and fly around the cabbage, and soon all the vegetable leaves outside flew to the side.

Then, he took a small knife and cut the remaining small cabbage sums into a dozen long strips of exactly the same size and thickness.

Finally, put the cabbage heart and shark fin together into a soup pot, and then add the top shiitake mushrooms from Changbai Mountain, as well as onions, ginger and garlic to the pot.

In just half an hour, a top-notch nourishing dish was made.

"Cabbage shark fin soup, please taste it to the three judges. Huang Rong confidently let the dishes be served in front of the three judges.

After the three judges cleaned their mouths, they tasted the dish in turn.

Just as soon as they took their mouths, the umami of shark fin and the sweetness of cabbage, mixed with the herbaceous fragrance of shiitake mushrooms, instantly spread all over the mouths of the three of them.

For a moment, all three of them were immersed in this delicacy and did not speak.

After a while, Cai Lancai, the judge of Xiangjiang, said slowly: "Tianjiu Wing was originally the shark fin of shark fin, not to mention the fresh fragrance and moisturizing, and even better is that it is combined with the taste of cabbage so well." It's really rare. ”

Hou Xiaotian, the heir of Fangshan, nodded and expressed his agreement with Cai Lan's evaluation.

Only the Chinese gourmand Ruan Qingtian had some objections, but he did not speak.

Next, it was Peng Yichen's turn to make their dishes today with cabbage.
