Chapter 170: Zhu Yan Han Yuanri
Under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, you can see Nanshan leisurely - the chrysanthemums fried in the plate are covered with golden juice, and then the flower stems made of cucumbers are really beautiful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's really done! It's incredible!" Although they haven't walked to the stage yet, through the LCD screen on the wall, everyone still feels the shock of this dish.
He Donglin pushed his glasses, even though he had always been moody, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of pride.
Who else is the kitchen god of this year?
The judges walked up to the stage and carefully appreciated the works of extreme knife skills in this Chinese dish.
Under the illumination of the light, each stamen of each chrysanthemum in the plate is delicate and lifelike.
If I hadn't known in advance that it was made of tofu, I was afraid that everyone would have thought that what was on this plate was the autumn chrysanthemum that had just been picked from the flower garden.
Han Shaobai gently picked one up with chopsticks, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it, and then put it in his mouth.
"Click! click!" The extremely crisp petals could not withstand the slightest external force, and with a light sip, they shattered into slag in the mouth.
Chrysanthemums fried with tofu have no flavor on their own, but they are different when they are topped with a specially prepared sauce.
When the juices of the three fruits, orange, grapefruit, and lemon, are added to the wild honey, the sweet and sour flavors are perfectly combined. The saliva in the mouth began to secrete a large amount, and people couldn't help but want to indulge in this sweetness.
After the aftertaste, a touch of bitterness suddenly rises from the root of the tongue, lingering on the cheeks, and the spirit is shocked.
"The taste is prosperous, and it is dull! You also add Longjing tea to this 'Picking Chrysanthemum East Fence', right?"
"That's right, I use the best 'West Lake Longjing' to make the final flavor enhancement for this dish, so that people can have a feeling of refreshment!"
"Not bad! Very good! Whether it is the knife skill of this dish, or the taste and creativity, it can be said to be a rare masterpiece in the previous chef competitions!" Han Shaobai praised.
"Boss, shall we go up and have a try?" Five-Eyes stood up.
"Don't go, this dish is not your share!" Liu Mang grabbed him.
"Ah, why?"
"Please, this is a kung fu dish, one judge made one, why are you going up there and licking the plate?"
"Grandma's, I don't know how many to make!" "Five-eyed scolded hatefully.
At this time, Hou Weiming over there rang the bell, and his 'cherry meat' was completed.
Although the production process is not as shocking as He Donglin's 'Picking Chrysanthemums under the East Fence', Hou Weiming's 'cherry meat' is not bad at all in terms of appearance.
The 'cherry meat', which has been marinated, stir-fried, and then steamed twice, is neatly arranged on the plate, and the color is as bright and translucent as a cherry. Together with the emerald green bean seedlings arranged around the edge of the plate, it looks like a plate of mouth-watering cherries that have just been plucked from the tree.
"Hey, this Hou Weiming is good, he made a lot of servings!It should be enough to eat!" Wuyan saw that the portion of this plate of 'cherry meat' was very large, and there seemed to be a backup in the steamer, and he said happily.
"Well, this plate of 'cherry meat' is cherry red in color, bright and pleasing to the eye, crispy and fat, just looking at the color is very successful, full of heat! It seems that Hou Weiming has also put a lot of effort into this dish!"
"Boss, why is the meat called 'cherry meat'? and no cherries?" asked Five Eyes a little strangely.
"In ancient times, cherries were a precious fruit, also known as warbler peaches, and just listening to the name made me feel poetic. The fruit is even more bright and crystalline, sweet and sour, which makes people think of it. But cherries are not eaten in all seasons, so it is not unusual for someone to invent such a dish. ”
"Oh, it's just the appearance!"
"Of course not. Another reason is that the dish is easy to associate with classical beauty. 'The willow is like an eyebrow and a lotus like a gills, and the cherry mouth is a hibiscus forehead' is the standard portrait of a classical beauty, and the cherry mouth is a symbol of beauty. Suzhou is a place where beauty has been produced in the past dynasties, and it is also a place of famous food, and the 'cherry meat' in the dishes is a natural and uncommon thing. ”
"Well, that's good! Ilancholy east of the wall, a cherry tree with rain red!" Li Lao walked over and shook his head at the 'cherry meat' on the plate.
He scooped a 'cherry flesh' from the plate with a spoon and brought it closer to take a closer look.
The meat on the spoon trembles slightly, and after three processes, the mixed sauce completely penetrates into the meat under the action of heat.
Zhu Yan Han Yuanri is the best praise for this 'cherry meat'.
When you put it in your mouth, you don't need to chew too much, and the red pieces of meat will melt gently in your mouth.
The flavor of various condiments is mixed with the aroma of meat, which spreads in the mouth. The remaining fat in the meat comes out, creating a great sense of satisfaction on the taste buds of the tongue.
Li Lao was thinking, if a bowl of white rice was served at this time, with this 'cherry meat', how comfortable would it be?
"Chef Han, you taste it, the heat is full, and the meat is fragrant!"
"Well, a home-cooked 'cherry meat' can be perfectly cooked in the heat. Chef Hou, your years of learning to cook have not been in vain!" Swallowing the piece of meat in his mouth, Han Shaobai also praised.
"Chef Han, how should it be scored?" Elder Li pulled Han Shaobai and asked quietly on the side.
"This can only depend on the judges' own preferences, although Hou Weiming's 'cherry meat' is very good, but compared with He Donglin's 'Picking Chrysanthemums under the East Fence', there are still some gaps in terms of the difficulty of production and the degree of innovation. That's why I chose He Donglin. ”
"Well, I see. Li Lao nodded.
"Lao Hou! This 'cherry meat' is good! It's really very, much stronger than the chrysanthemum that looks like it's going to the grave! I see there are still some in the steamer, give them all to me! I'll take it back and mix it with rice to eat, it's very fragrant!"
Since the five-eyed cat got on the platform, after eating the 'cherry meat' on the plate, he talked with Hou Weiming.
"Uh... Okay!" Hou Weiming thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember this fat man with a smile on his face, who was sacred?
"Okay, the judges have tasted the dishes of the two contestants, let's start voting immediately! The contestants who win this round will enter the top four of this chef competition!"
"He Donglin's dishes are so difficult to make that I have only seen them in my life, so I voted for him. One of the judges said.
"But although his dishes are difficult to make, they don't taste like it, and I still like Hou Weiming's 'cherry meat' a little more. Another judge had a different opinion.
"He Donglin, if he can't reach the top of the kitchen god with this kind of knife skill, then there is no one. ”
"That's right, I choose him too!"
……
Soon the results of the voting came out, He Donglin got 19 votes, and Hou Weiming got 11 votes.
Although Hou Weiming was defeated, he was not too frustrated, this result was much better than he imagined, and it did not cause a big score to crush, which made him feel embarrassed.
This proves that his 'cherry meat' still has merit, and it has not failed his years of hard study. (To be continued.) )
