Chapter 24 Final Selection
Just when Rao Mingyang was closing their stalls, the staff of the organizer were also working overtime to count the list of delicacies that passed the preliminary selection of the judges today. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
More than 400 booths, divided into 8 rows with 3 judges each, each booth needs to be endorsed by at least two judges to pass the primary selection.
The final list of winners is 1 first prize, 2 second prizes, 5 third prizes, and 10 excellence awards. Therefore, the judges also took this number of winners to select the food that can pass the audition.
Basically, there are more than 50 stalls in each row, and about 5 delicacies have passed the primary selection and entered the finalist list, waiting for all the judges to taste and score the next day to determine the final ranking.
Generally speaking, there are about 40 delicacies that make it to the finalists, and all the judges will taste each delicacy on the final day, and finally score the first, second, third and excellent prizes and the list of excellence awards.
However, the other judging groups are okay, and each judging group has about 5 passing lists.
But when the statistician counted Zheng Xinnan and their group, they found that there was only one list of delicacies that passed the primary selection under the names of their three judges, named Rao Mingyang Crispy Meat Mung Bean Noodles.
This situation surprised the staff, thinking that the staff who followed the judges to make records during the day were negligent and remembered it.
So, he hurriedly found the phone number of the staff member who had already gone home from work and inquired, but learned that Zheng Xinnan and their group of judges had indeed only passed the primary selection of 1 delicacy, and all the snacks in the other stalls were rejected by them.
Even for the best performing snack, only one judge expressed its approval, but it was rejected by the other two judges, and in the end it was still not approved.
Therefore, under the names of Zheng Xinnan and their group of judges, only one delicacy really passed the primary selection.
Seeing this, the staff felt a little incomprehensible.
"Could there be some inside story?" The staff thought so.
Then, he reported the situation to the on-duty leader of the organizing committee.
When the leader on duty heard this, about 5 of the other judging groups passed the primary selection, why did Zheng Xinnan and their group only have 1? He was also surprised, this is unreasonable, isn't it?
So, he found the night manager of the hotel, contacted Zheng Xinnan, the owner of the Tianhu Hotel, and raised his questions.
When Zheng Xinnan heard this, he immediately cried and laughed and said, "I thought there was something, just this question?" ”
The leader on duty nodded, indicating that this was the problem.
Zheng Xinnan shook his head and sighed: "If you want to blame, blame that famous crispy meat mung bean noodles for cooking so delicious!" The first thing we tasted was his crispy meat mung bean noodles, which was so delicious that it would have an endless aftertaste. This leads to all the snacks in the back that taste the same as chewing wax, and you can't eat it! ”
The leader on duty widened his eyes and said, "That's the reason? ”
Zheng Xinnan nodded affirmatively and said, "That's the reason." ”
The leader on duty had some suspicions in his heart that Rao Mingyang was a relative of Zheng Xinnan's three judges, and he received their special care.
But at this point, the judges have already given an explanation, and he can't really ask every judge, that would be too bad at being a person. I can only hope that the famous crispy meat mung bean noodles will not be unworthy of the name, and it will be good to look foreign in tomorrow's finals.
On August 31, the second day of the food festival, Rao Mingyang was personally notified by the staff of the organizer to tell him to show his best level, and all the judges in today's final will taste his crispy meat and mung bean noodles.
Rao Mingyang was reminded, so he naturally didn't dare to be careless, and made serious preparations.
Then, the judges walked out of the hotel and began to taste the food that passed the preliminary selection one by one.
There are 24 judges, and each dish is tasted and scored. In the end, the two highest scores and two lowest scores were kicked to calculate the average score for ranking, and the highest average score was naturally the first prize.
However, before the judges were ready to start, Zheng Xinnan proposed to put the mung bean noodles to the end. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would lose interest in the snacks in the back like she did yesterday.
When the other two judges in the same group heard this, they immediately felt reasonable, and they seconded the proposal, strongly suggesting that everyone put the famous crispy meat mung bean powder at the end to judge, otherwise it will definitely affect everyone's taste.
When the other judges heard the three of them mention this issue so solemnly, they discussed it with each other, and agreed to the suggestion in order to prevent accidents.
However, everyone is full of expectations in their hearts for Rao Mingyang's crispy meat mung bean noodles. I don't know what the taste of this famous crispy meat mung bean noodles is, which made Zheng Xinnan and the three judges worry about losing interest in eating other things after eating his mung bean noodles.
If the famous crispy mung bean flour in the end doesn't satisfy them, I'm afraid they will face a unanimous low score judgment after everyone's disappointment.
After discussing the specific itinerary, the judges began to taste the fried potatoes from the 6th booth in the first row of the preliminary selection. The county TV station also sent reporters and cameras to follow the judges to film the final of the Mae Tan famous snacks.
Because the contestants were greeted in advance by the staff, everyone prepared enough snacks to wait for the judges to taste, but there was no situation where there were not enough things for the 24 judges to taste.
Moreover, the judges just tasted it and scored it on the form they had in hand, which in fact did not need to be too much.
However, the 40 stalls that entered the finals were scattered throughout the square, and there were many tourists, so it was more time-consuming to taste. So, when the judges finally arrived at Rao's booth, it was almost 12 noon.
"Yesterday, I heard everyone talking about this 200 yuan bowl of crispy meat and mung bean noodles, I want to see how it tastes."
"Zheng Xinnan said so all three, I think there are still two brushes."
"Dare to sell one or two hundred yuan a bowl, and there are so many tourists to taste it, I think there must be something unique!"
The judges were talking as they waited for Rao Mingyang to cook mung bean flour for them to taste, and reporters and cameras from the county television station were also filming. In particular, Rao Mingyang's earth-shattering price list has become the focus of photography.
In order to cope with the 24 judges, Rao Mingyang specially boiled a pot of upgraded soup stock and never moved. When the judges came, he cooked 24 bowls of mung bean flour in small portions as quickly as possible for the judges to taste.
This time, Han Qin is purely a starter, all of which are grasped by Rao Mingyang with his intermediate chef skills to ensure that the taste of each bowl can be brought into full play.
Then, the judges who ate the powder first were as Zheng Xinnan expected, and they were conquered the moment they ate the first bite.
"This taste, absolutely amazing!"
"It's unbelievable that there is such a delicious soup powder!"
"It's so delicious, I've never had such a delicious snack!"
Their comments immediately aroused the curiosity of the other judges, and they couldn't wait to eat it after Rao Mingyang cooked it.
In the end, after all the judges finished eating a small bowl of mung bean noodles in their hands, they all applauded Rao's famous punk mung bean noodles and expressed their love.
There is no doubt that, judging by their expressions, Rao's famous crispy mung bean noodles will definitely get a high score.
