Chapter 276: What Did You Do With Pork Belly
Four dishes are lined up and placed on a long table in the middle, three of which are [back to the pot meat] and one plate is [bacon fried tender bamboo shoots].
From the point of view, the three plates of [Back to the Pot Meat] are very visually impactful, red peppers, green garlic sprouts, fragrant pork are fried until transparent, and the oily bean paste sauce is wrapped on the meat slices, making people feel the index finger move when they see it, and take a bite full of fresh fragrance, and they can't wait to eat a bowl of rice immediately.
[Fried Tender Bamboo Shoots with Bacon] and three portions of [Back to the Pot Meat] are mixed and matched, just like Xiao San met the main house, so he had to hide timidly to the side, looking delicate and lovely, but lacking in bearing.
From this detail, it can be seen that Zhang Yunpeng made a mistake in choosing dishes.
The first round of tastings begins.
The judges rinsed their mouths, and four small dishes were already placed in front of them, which were clearly the works of Cripple Chen, Wu Xiujun, Mo Fei and Zhang Yunpeng.
"Let's go!"
As Si Chen's voice sounded, the five judges picked up their chopsticks one after another, and they all picked up the cripple Chen's [Back to the Pot Meat] first.
Judge A is from Xishu, and he can't wait to send a piece of half-fat and half-lean meat to his mouth, and a taste from his hometown suddenly spreads and rises from his mouth.
He closed his eyes intoxicated, and gently bit the fat with his teeth, and the moment his teeth entered the fat, the whole person was almost crispy. This is the taste! The taste that has haunted me for many years and cannot let go of it! It is also a taste that I will never taste again after my mother passed away!
The meat slices are fat but not greasy, the lean parts of the meat taste are moderate, the heat of the side dishes is just right, and the key is the taste - the kind of strong place with sweetness, fragrant but not greasy, makes people can't bear the pleasure of putting down the chopsticks, it is too impactful.
It is worthy of the famous work of Cripple Chen!
It wasn't until he ate a fine meal that Judge A raised his head and looked at the other four judges, the corners of their mouths were stained with red oil, and they looked like they couldn't give up.
"It would be nice to have a bowl of rice. Judge B chuckled softly and said, "I can eat two large bowls!"
This is not an exaggeration at all, as everyone else nodded and laughed.
After being intoxicated, they rinsed their mouths, and then tasted Wu Xiujun's [back to the pot meat].
"Huh!"
The taste was beyond the expectations of Judge A. He originally thought that Wu Xiujun, who was born in Shanghai, must be poor in cooking this dish, so he didn't have much expectations.
Who knows, it's surprisingly delicious!
The key is that while tasting this dish, he seems to have heard the Xishu spicy girl, walking on the mountain road with dried chili peppers, the singing voice is clear, the lyrics are spicy and bold, as if she is seducing the soul.
Judge Ding nodded while eating, as if he was also intoxicated by the beat of the music.
This...... Sure enough, he is a talent in the culinary world, and he actually integrates the melody of music into the dishes, I really don't know how he did it.
The judges were a little embarrassed, and the two [Back to the Pot Meat] showed the chef's skills and their understanding of the dishes, which was very difficult to score!
After some struggle, Judge A first lit up the score:
【Dish】 Back to the pot meat
【Rating】Chen Fugui 96 points, Wu Xiujun 93 points
The other four judges also showed their scores.
Judge's Bright Score:
Chen Fugui scored 97 points and Wu Xiujun scored 92 points
Judges' Scores:
Chen Fugui scored 94 points and Wu Xiujun scored 95 points
Judge Ding Liang:
Chen Fugui scored 94 points and Wu Xiujun scored 96 points
Judges:
Chen Fugui scored 97 points and Wu Xiujun scored 92 points
After calculation, Chen Fugui (also known as Cripple Chen) scored an average of 95.6 points, and Wu Xiujun scored an average score of 93.6 points.
The two are separated by 2 points, and the cripple Chen wins!
After the score was announced, the cripple Chen looked serious, but he lost his usual cynicism. And Wu Xiujun, who lost, smiled faintly, as if everything didn't matter.
"Brother, it's a pity...... You...... Are you okay?" Wu Yujun went over to comfort him, but he didn't dare to look at his brother's eyes, for fear of seeing his brother's disappointed eyes.
Wu Xiujun scratched her nose and said with a smile: "Silly girl, I underestimate your brother too much." It's just a game. ”
"But ......" Wu Yujun still felt guilty in the end, in order to let Mo Fei take a look at Cripple Chen's cooking skills and techniques, he did not hesitate to let his brother challenge Cripple Chen, but lost.
She felt sad and whimpered.
Wu Xiujun comforted and said, "Okay, okay, look, I'm about to taste Mo Fei and Zhang Yunpeng's dishes." ”
Wu Yujun wiped away his tears, opened his eyes wide, and looked at the stage.
After the judges rinsed their mouths, they tasted the [fried bamboo shoots with bacon] made by Zhang Yunpeng in chronological order of completing the dishes.
I have to say that Zhang Yunpeng does have two brushes, and he grasped the essence of bacon and tender bamboo shoots in this dish, that is, [Chen Xiang] and [Qing Xiang], and then skillfully blended them, perfectly grasping the degree between [Chen Xiang] and [Qing Xiang].
The bacon is cut into slightly thicker slices of meat, so that the cured meat is fully released, and it tastes very good; the tender bamboo shoots are cut into hob pieces, which are already fresh and tender, and the simple stir-fry with the bacon can not only lock the fragrance of the tender bamboo shoots, but also absorb the taste of bacon.
The method is old-fashioned, the method is authentic, and it presents a charming taste!
Judge A ate happily, Judge B ate refreshingly, Judge C tasted the sweetness of tender bamboo shoots, Judge D tasted the vicissitudes of bacon, and Judge E was intoxicated with the pleasure brought by food and couldn't extricate himself for a long time.
Seeing the appearance of the judges, the competition seems to be out of suspense.
Wu Yujun grabbed Wu Xiujun's hand and asked nervously, "Brother, who do you think can win?"
Wu Xiujun doesn't care, one is a friend for many years, and the other is a partner who is about to cooperate, whoever wins is happy for him, and it doesn't matter who loses.
"Haha, Yujun, just watch the excitement, don't be so serious. "He forgot how anxious he was in yesterday's game.
"I can't think of it, I can't think of it, this Zhang Yunpeng is deeply hidden. "Someone tasted the game.
"Heh, Mo Fei is a waste of fame, cooking is to be real, what is the use of knowing how to identify ingredients?"
"Don't jump to conclusions so early, it's not impossible for Mo Fei to turn the tables!"
"Shhh
The scene fell silent, and the audience watched as the judges spit out their mouthwash and began to taste Mo Fei's [back to the pot meat].
"Hiss......"
It was the sound of someone inhaling, and it was very clear in the quiet of the venue.
Following the sound, everyone found the source of the inhalation sound - Judge A, who was still inhaling!
Then, a "hiss" sound came one after another, and it was the other four judges.
What's going on?
There was some confusion at the scene, and people looked at them at a loss, as if they were looking at five humans with abnormal nerves.
After sucking, the five judges were satisfied and ready to try a piece of pork belly or green and red pepper or garlic sprouts...... Anyway, you can taste anything, as long as it's on Murphy's plate.
"Could it be that Mo Fei drugged [Back to the Pot Meat]?" Finally, someone asked.
"Drugged the judges, are you funny?!" someone couldn't help but retort.
"Yes...... How do you explain this?" was not convinced in front of him, and directly slammed it.
“……”
Of course, he couldn't explain it, and even Mo Fei, who made [Back to the Pot Meat], was stunned, and thought to himself: "These judges are stupid, aren't they? Don't blame me! They must have eaten something unclean." ”
Situ Yu's expression tightened, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly gave Si Chen a look. Si Chen immediately understood, and brought the remaining [back to the pot meat] to Situ Yu.
There are also one or two very small pieces of meat on the plate, which have fallen off during the frying process, and a few green garlic sprouts still hanging on the edge of the plate, and the soup at the bottom of the plate is still poured.
Situ Yu took the plate, dipped his index finger in the soup, put it to his mouth and licked it.
If you don't lick it, it's enough, and after licking, his expression changes drastically.
"Murphy, what did you do with pork belly?!"
