The other participants had already cleaned the ingredients and were just waiting for the time to show off their skills.

But Bai Xiaobai didn't do any preparations.

He first looked for the stove where he cooked his food.

Because the food exchange competition is a group of two people, and each participant cooks a dish, the mobile stove is independent of each other.

There are a total of 20 mobile cooktops in the competition area, which are completely randomly assigned.

Like Bai Xiaobai is the No. 6 stove, while Lan Weihao is the No. 16 stove, the two are far apart.

Bai Xiaobai walked to the No. 6 stove and neatly put down the portable refrigerator in his hand

He took out all the ingredients, seasonings, cutlery and other items provided by the system and arranged them neatly on the stovetop.

With everything done, Bai Xiaobai glanced around.

The four stoves in front of him are all professional chefs wearing white top hats, two of them are big fat men, one is thin, and the other is a middle-aged and elderly chef with slightly gray hair.

Bai Xiaobai glanced at the ingredients they had prepared.

In terms of the variety of ingredients, it is quite rich.

The main ingredients are mostly fish and seafood, which can be seen to be carefully selected ingredients, the color is very fresh, and there are many ingredients such as fruits and vegetables, and various high-end seasonings......

It seems that everyone is well prepared for this food exchange competition.

In contrast, Bai Xiaobai's ingredients are much simpler.

His food today is a special lotus leaf lean porridge, so the main ingredients are rice, lotus leaves, and lean pork.

After placing the ingredients and seasonings, Bai Xiaobai was ready, just waiting for the command for the official start of the game.

There was no leader of the organizer to give a lengthy opening speech on the stage, the program was very simple, and the beautiful hosts on the stage were holding the atmosphere of the audience.

Time Ma was about to be seven o'clock in a blink of an eye, and the beautiful host picked up the microphone and shouted:

"Dear friends, this year's food exchange competition is about to start, and all the contestants are ready, and the ten judges are also present. In this year's food exchange meeting, let's wait and see what wonderful food each contestant will come up with. ”

"There is still the last minute before the official game. The beautiful host picked up her mobile phone and broadcast a report.

When the host announced the one-minute countdown, two figures in the crowd of onlookers kept squeezing in front of the cordon.

These two are none other than Lan Weihao's bedmates, Little Feilong and Curly.

In order to go to the front row of the stage to watch the game, Xiao Feilong tried his best to squeeze to the cordon, regardless of his quality or anything, and the curly hair followed closely behind him, easily moving forward.

After squeezing into a suitable position, the little dragon stopped and spoke. "Fortunately, it caught up, the game hasn't started yet, and Lao Lan is already in place. ”

Curly smiled and teased, "I hope Assistant Lan can win the first prize this year, otherwise we will try the shredded green pepper meat in vain these days." ”

In fact, in order to make the fried shredded pork with green peppers he cooks more delicious, Lan Weihao practices in the company dormitory every day after work.

As the little dragon and curly hair in the same bedroom, they naturally became 'guinea pigs'.

For more than a week, they have eaten every day in addition to shredded green pepper meat or shredded green pepper pork. Rao is delicious, and they are about to go crazy at the end.

In order to make up for the physical and mental damage, Xiao Feilong and Curly Fur agreed with Lan Weihao that if he won the first prize, he would have to go to Xiaobai Restaurant to poke him.

Lan Weihao immediately agreed.

Little Dragon and Curly are now here to watch the game, and they are waiting for Lan Weihao to receive the award.

"Assistant Lan really has a good idea, and I don't know what ecstasy soup was poured into him, but he really invited Boss Bai. Curly hair has good eyesight, and he can see Bai Xiaobai on the No. 6 stove at a glance.

Xiao Feilong said with a smile, "I already knew, Lao Lan invited Boss Bai to partner in this year's finals, and there is no suspense in this game, it depends on how much you win." Let's just sit and wait for Lao Lan to have a treat. ”

Curly also smiled, "If Assistant Lan wins the first prize and wins the Good Kitchen Staff Award, then heavy bleeding is a must." ”

Curly's voice just fell.

It happened to be seven o'clock in the evening when the imperial capital was time.

The beautiful host, picked up the microphone, and announced sonorously, "The food exchange competition is now officially started!"

The strong man who had been on standby on the side of the stage for a long time struck a big gong with a hammer.

Qiang –

The sound of the gong is the command for the official start of the game.

With the sound of the gong, all the contestants began to get busy.

The competition time is only 20+5 minutes, so every minute and second is very precious.

Bai Xiaobai first took out three sea bowls and poured a certain amount of rice into each bowl.

This time, the special lotus leaf lean porridge is really special, and there are three kinds of rice alone, namely Northeast Pearl Rice, Embryo King Brown Rice from Huxiang Province, and Thai Jasmine Rice.

Bai Xiaobai washed these three kinds of rice separately.

Rice Bai Xiaobai does not use tap water, but mountain spring water specially provided by the system.

Don't look at the work of rice washing is very simple, in fact, it is also very particular.

The surface of rice is rich in vitamins and inorganic salts, which are particularly soluble in water. If the rice is washed for too long, and the rice is scrubbed vigorously, or washed with hot water, the surface nutrition of the rice is easy to lose!

This process can be washed naturally, fill a certain amount of water in the bowl, and pour the rice water directly before the rice is a finger long.

After Bai Xiaobai carefully washed the rice twice, he added a certain amount of water to the spring mountain and began to soak.

Cooking porridge after soaking rice is conducive to the expansion of rice grains, so that cooking porridge is not only fast, but also the finished product has a more fragrant and soft taste.

Taking advantage of the gap between the rice bubbles, Bai Xiaobai was not idle.

He took out a large lotus leaf from the portable refrigerator, washed it carefully, and soaked it in light salt water.

Soaking lotus leaves in salt water helps to remove small impurities on the surface of lotus leaves and remove bitter and astringent tastes, and secondly, when cooking lotus leaf porridge, it is easier to cook lotus leaves and dissolve the nutrients in them, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Special lotus leaf lean porridge, pork lean meat is naturally indispensable.

After soaking rice and lotus leaves, Bai Xiaobai took out the lean pork and kitchen knife.

The lean pork provided by the system is very fresh and has no fat at all.

Bang -

Bai Xiaobai's knife is neat and crisp, even if it is soft and soft lean pork, it is a breeze.

The lean pork used in porridge must be cut evenly in size and consistent in thickness, otherwise when it is cooked, it is too thin and easy to cook the meat, too thick and not easy to cook through, and the taste is not good.

Bai Xiaobai's knife work is quite good, and the lean pork meat he cut out is in the form of slices the size of an adult's thumb cap, each slice is the same size, and the thickness is uniform, if any two slices of meat are overlapped together, it can be found that they are almost the same.

King Lingkuang Lang——

Bai Xiaobai is very serious, devotes himself to the cooking competition, and is very busy.

The same goes for all the rest of the contestants.

Lan Weihao had already cut all the ingredients on the side, and he was already stir-frying in the pot.

In fact, there is also a potential rule in this food exchange competition, which member of the contest can be the first to present the dish to the judges after completing the dish.

It's very tempting.

Because when tasting food, people have a preconceived subconscious.

In other words, the earlier the dish is eaten, the easier it is to impress the judges.

Once the taste of food remains on the tip of the tongue, it is easy to interfere with the subsequent tasting of the dish.

This distraction doesn't even help with drinking water and rinsing your mouth.

Therefore, the sooner you prepare your food, the sooner it will be presented to the judges, the better.

All the players understand this truth, and in order to grab the first dish right, they all worked hard and accelerated their speed.

King Lingkuang Lang——

In the competition area, the sound of pots and pans colliding formed a wonderful cooking music.
