The bamboo shoots are neatly stacked on the plate and piled up into a square pagoda. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

From this dish, you can see the difference between professional and amateur. This is because untrained folk chefs tend to care only about the taste and color of the dishes, but neglect the plating.

In Chinese cuisine, plating is the most intuitive way to show the artistic conception of Chinese cuisine, and it is also the most important criterion for expressing a chef's own aesthetic taste.

After the bamboo shoots are stewed, steamed, and thickened, they look like the finest topaz with pulp. The dazzling layer of oil on the surface makes people just look at it, and they will fall into it and can't extricate themselves.

In addition, Katsura Xingquan's plating is also interesting, in addition to arranging the bamboo shoots in the shape of a pagoda, he also decorates the plate with fresh bamboo leaves and outlines the scene of flowing water with excess sauce.

"Judges, please use it. Gui Xingquan stood aside with his hands in his hands, and there was confidence on his face that could not be concealed.

Dai Jili nodded, took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of bamboo shoot, and brought it to his eyes to watch carefully.

Gui Xingquan's knife skills are very good. The tip of the bamboo shoot and the heart of the bamboo shoot are separated, cut into a beautiful diamond shape, and then combined together, completely tight, and there is no trace of moving the knife.

When you put it in your mouth, your teeth are closed, and you immediately make a crisp sound, and the natural aroma of bamboo shoots comes out, making your entire mouth fresh.

The tips of the bamboo shoots simmered in the chicken broth are very delicious, and the bamboo shoots steamed with the minced chicken are unusually tender, and the two different textures are combined with each other, and a little chewing will make the whole person flutter.

"It's worth it!" Dai Jili praised.

And Wang Lan and Lin Tong also had intoxicated expressions, all immersed in the deliciousness of this "chicken pith bamboo shoots".

"It's really good!" Liu Mang nodded secretly.

The chicken soup is very fresh, but this umami does not overshadow the original taste of bamboo shoots.

Whether it's a clear chicken soup made from chicken bones or a chicken meat smeared on the heart of bamboo shoots, they are only used as accessories, all to bring out the freshness of bamboo shoots and the fresh smell of herbs.

"Mr. Gui Xingquan, how long have you been learning from Master He?" Liu Mang couldn't help but ask.

"I've been learning to cook with my master for fifteen years. Gui Xingquan replied.

Judging from this 'chicken marrow bamboo shoot' alone, you have already obtained your master's eight-nine-point true inheritance, and what you lack is just the tempering of time. ”

"Master Liu Mang, what do you think?" Dai Jili asked.

"Do you want to get a perfect score?"

"There is this idea. Dai Jili nodded: "This 'chicken marrow shoots' is impeccable in taste, color, and shape, and it comes from the Red Mansion, which contains profound cultural heritage, I really can't think of any shortcomings." ”

"It's up to you. Liu Mang laughed: "This dish deserves a full score!"

"Alright, guys, can we start grading?"

"That's it. After Dai Jili finished speaking, he then raised the sign in his hand: "I'll give ten points." ”

"Ten points, that's a perfect score!" Wei Tao exclaimed.

"I also give 10 points. Lin Tong also held up the sign: "Master Gui Xingquan's 'chicken marrow shoots' is probably only comparable to the dishes I have eaten at the state banquet." ”

"The same ten!" Wang Lan had a smile on his face: "Mr. Gui Xingquan, I am not only for you, but also for Chef He Donglin, who restored this dish." ”

"Thank you!

"Come on!" an audience member sighed: "I didn't expect that in the last two rounds, the champions and runners-up were born, which is really unexpected." ”

"Gui Xingquan has threatened to challenge the chef god, and now that he has won the championship, doesn't that mean he has the qualifications to challenge?" another audience member became excited.

"yes! It's getting better and better. ”

"All the contestants' dishes have been displayed so far!" Wei Tao picked up the microphone and announced.

"Our champion, runner-up and third runner-up have also been born!" Jiang Wen looked at the card in his hand: "They are Hou Junli who made 'Jinshi Purple Crab', Yuan Ye who made 'Stuffed Shrimp Eggs', and Gui Xingquan who conquered the judges with a 'chicken pith bamboo shoot' just now!"

"Jiang Wen, our champion has been born, let's hurry up and interview it. Wei Tao said funny.

"Okay. Jiang Wen handed the microphone to Gui Xingquan's mouth: "Master Gui Xingquan, may I ask you that you have won the championship of this show, how do you feel at the moment?"

"Mood? not in the mood. Gui Xingquan was stunned: "I'm here to challenge the chef god, and the championship is dispensable for me." ”

"You mean to exercise the right of the champion and challenge our chef god?"

"Of course. Gui Xingquan nodded affirmatively: "This is also the purpose of my visit." ”

"I accept your challenge. Liu Mang stood up: "But the 'chicken marrow shoots' just now is not good, although it is very good, but it is still a lot away from the point where I am impressed." ”

"Of course, I didn't expect to completely conquer the taste of the chef with a not-so-perfect 'chicken pith shoot'. ”

"Oh, then what are you going to cook?" Liu Mang was surprised: "Is it still a dish of the Red Mansion?" Don't worry, no matter what you do, I will make an objective evaluation. ”

"That's right, the next dish is also from the Red Mansion, and its name is 'Eggplant'!"

"Eggplant?" Liu Mang couldn't help but be taken aback: "Mr. Gui Xingquan, have you thought about it? Even if it is the 'eggplant' made by your master, it is not perfect in my heart!"

"I know that this dish that my master made at the Chef Contest last time also lost in your hands. But ......" Speaking of this, Gui Xingquan raised his head and looked at Liu Mang: "Today's 'eggplant', I believe it will surprise you!"

"I'm really looking forward to it. Liu Mang sat back in his seat, his eyes shining with appreciation.

People who can get up where they fell and move forward again deserve to be respected, whether they succeed or not.

I only saw it on TV at the last Chef Contest, and I didn't taste it at all. I thought I would miss it, but I didn't expect to have a chance today!" Dai Jili was very excited.

"Yes, the 'eggplant' developed by Master He Donglin almost won last time!" Lin Tong echoed.

"I'm very strange, didn't He Donglin already lose the last competition? Could it be that this Gui Xingquan is even more powerful than his master? This is obviously impossible!" Wang Lan said in surprise.

"Have you ever thought that maybe this 'eggplant' is not the one from the last Chef God Competition?

"Hmm... Very likely!"
