Chapter 66

Before the professional judges, Yi Baitang and Hu Chengping's dishes were served in turn.

Hu Chengping's first dish was an eight-treasure fish.

Eight treasure fish is also one of the signature dishes of Ted Building, the main ingredient of eight treasure fish is treasure fish, after the treasure fish is scooped up, the fish is first put into the cooking wine and ginger juice to mix the water to raise for a period of time, generally three to five days, this is called drunk to the bone; Then the turbot fish is picked up and slaughtered, and the meat is soaked for a while with the same recipe as in the previous water, but with a much richer juice. Finally, directly into the pot steaming, steaming also pay attention to the time, generally within three minutes to five minutes, so that when the pot is started, the meat on the body of the treasure fish is still crystal clear, between half-cooked and half-cooked, and the previous soaking and preparation have made the seasoning formula soak the bones and flesh of the treasure fish, pure natural as the sweet fish meat of sashimi, plus the wine and saltiness that breed from the sweetness of the fish.

It is said that when this dish was first introduced in Teide House, all the guests who ate it were full of praise, and a well-known gourmand did not hesitate to praise it, saying, "After eating this dish, I realized that the other fish were dead".

But now it has been more than ten years since the launch of this dish.

The people who are doing it move their chopsticks with a flat expression, eat vegetables, the taste is really good, there is Hu Chengping Master Hu in charge, and the fresh and slippery taste of the fish can be said to an extreme point.

Then they rinse their mouths and then their noses, and the rinse is a few strong breaths of the fresh-smelling spray to wash away all the remaining smells in their mouths and noses, and then they face the next dish with a new sense of taste and smell.

Coincidentally.

When it was Yi Baitang's turn to deliver the dishes, it was also a river fresh.

The dish that was served was steamed blue crab with glutinous rice.

The purple-black glutinous rice is spread on the bottom of a whole layer, and a golden river crab is covered with it, but because the season is not yet yet, the size of the river crab is inevitably a little small.

"Well, the cooking of several cuisines is very timely, and now it's not the right time to eat crabs."

Someone at a table tapped a side drum.

But now it's only the first dish, and it seems a bit early to say something in a hurry, and most chefs wait for the dish of steamed blue crab with glutinous rice to be served in front of them before they start to prepare for tasting. Although the judge's behavior of standing on the platform of Ted House just now is indeed too obvious, it is not wrong, this is indeed not a good time to eat crabs.

With such a mentality, the attitude of the rest of the judges is inevitably a little lighter, and the hand that goes to get the crab shell is not very positive.

But as soon as the crab was in their hands, these old connoisseurs who ate and made food immediately noticed that something was wrong: the weight of this crab was too clear, right?

They picked up the crab, knocked it at random, and then lifted the lid to take a look, and sure enough, the crab paste and crab meat in the crab had been cleaned before it was served, and now it was just a well-preserved empty shell on top of the glutinous rice.

It's not easy to take out all the meat from the crab and keep the shell intact.

They each stared at the crab shell fiercely with a research gaze for a moment before turning their gaze to the sticky rice again.

Sticky rice shouldn't actually be served as the first of the main course.

Because glutinous rice supports the stomach, if you eat too much here, you will naturally lose your appetite later.

But Yi Baitang's glutinous rice is a little different.

Although it is contained in a large porcelain plate, the real use of the porcelain plate is the center of the concave base, this base is about the size of a coffee cup saucer, on which a thin layer of grass-like glutinous rice is spread, surrounded by purple black, but the middle is milky white with a little golden color, among which the shape of milky white glutinous rice is just the shape of a blue crab that has just been lifted, the fat crab shell plus short eight legs, and the middle is dotted with purple and black glutinous rice with two eyes, which looks really strange and cute.

Since the blue crab on top of the sticky rice is empty, the focus is of course on this plate of sticky rice.

The judges casually put the mighty and unyielding shell of the blue crab on the table, picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of glutinous rice, and after a spoonful of an ordinary spoon, the glutinous rice layer was empty by one-third.

This plate of glutinous rice is said to be a plate and really high to look at it, at most it is a plate of glutinous rice, I have never seen such a reluctant chef......

Everyone didn't realize that they were slandering in their hearts, and then they stuffed the sticky rice into their mouths.

The moment the upper and lower teeth interlaced and crushed the rice grains, the thick crab smell was like a small original 'sub' bomb, which exploded in the mouth in an instant!

Someone blurted out: "What's going on?!" ”

But no one answered.

Everyone is chewing the rice grains in their mouths attentively, quickly, and fiercely!

After the flexible glutinous rice was bitten open by the teeth, the little crabs hidden in it immediately swam out, the salty aroma of the crab roe, the elasticity of the crab meat, and the glutinous rice grains including them, together in the mouth into a unique flavor of pleasant music!

Hurriedly swallowing a mouthful of rice into their mouths, then everyone can pull their attention out of their own and put it back on the glutinous rice.

The lights on the zenith were bright enough to illuminate the food vividly, but at this moment, more than one judge still waved to the side, instructing the waiter waiting there to bring another lamp to light the meal.

Soon, several table lamps were sent together.

The judges sitting here gathered the table lamps in one of the plates of glutinous rice, and under the direct light, the judges sitting in the center first picked up a few grains of milky white glutinous rice with chopsticks, pointed to the golden yellow in the glutinous rice and said:

"Look, the golden color inside is more obvious in the light, and there is no doubt that it is crab roe."

As he spoke, he put down the milky white glutinous rice in his chopsticks, picked up the purple-black glutinous rice around him, and said:

"The purple and black glutinous rice may not be too clear inside, but under the strong light, you can still see the purple and black glutinous rice at both ends, but the color in the middle is thinner, and there is also a bit of crystal clear feeling, which is obvious, filled with crab meat."

"But it can't be!" Someone blurted out, "This is not a glutinous rice ball that can be filled, it is a grain of glutinous rice, how can a chef have the time to fill the body of the crab into a single grain of glutinous rice little by little?" ”

This one......

Although everyone doesn't know how to do it, it's not a good thing for you to say that now, doesn't it seem that everyone here is not as good as the chef in the kitchen?

The rest of the judges couldn't help but complain in their hearts about this uncontrollable guy.

The chief judge, who pointed out that the classic of this plate of glutinous rice steamed blue crab could not let this question happen and brew, he coughed lightly, looked at his companions with different expressions around him, and changed the topic and said:

"The first dish of the two chefs has been tasted, so everyone can talk about their opinions first."

The long table was silent for a moment.

The chef, who had been on the platform of Ted House before, said that it was not suitable to eat crabs now, squinted his eyes to the side, and swept over a waiter standing next to him meaningfully.

The waiter remained silent for a moment, and after a few minutes walked away quickly, turning two doors and coming to a hidden corner.

As he approached the corner completely, a beam of light shot out first, and by the sudden light, both sides could see the person on the other side clearly.

The waiter walked quickly to Hu Jianming, who was waiting here, and said in a low voice: "The situation is not good, the other party's creativity is perfect, and many judges have been shaken." ”

Then he didn't stay long, and passed by Hu Jianming as soon as he took a wrong step, and walked to the bathroom behind the corner.

In this way, even if the scene of their meeting at this time is seen, it can be argued that they met by chance in front of the bathroom.

Hu Jianming secretly clenched his fists and took out his mobile phone as he walked out.

He decided to start PR!

The judges' bench was already lively.

The first to speak was the original judge of the Ted Tower, who coughed and said, "The idea is very good, but the food ultimately falls on the taste of the food, and now is really not a good time to eat crab, this cauliflower is too clever." Moreover, Ted House has been open for decades, and we have all eaten many times what dishes have been launched, and it is not that it is not creative and does not taste good, but we are used to eating it; The other side is the other side, we don't know about it at all, and we haven't eaten it before, so it's so fresh. ”

He said and looked around at the other judges:

"I think eight treasure fish is ten points, and glutinous rice steamed blue crab is eight points."

Several of the judges were muttering to themselves.

If you just talk about food, reversing the score of the first person who speaks is almost the number in their hearts.

But to be honest, when it comes to this position, there are actually very few people who can really be impartial and only talk about food.

Not to mention anything else, Hu Chengping is an old-timer in the chef industry, everyone knows each other, if he really gives a very low score, it will be difficult to meet each other when he looks back!

Then a second man spoke:

"But this creativity is still worth encouraging, and I look at two dishes, and they are both nines."

He compromised and did not offend the old-timers, nor his own appetite.

At the same time as the judges behind the long table began to speak, the waiter who had gone to inform Hu Jianming had just returned from the bathroom, and one of the judges in the judges' seat stood up directly and walked in the direction of washing his hands.

This judge was much more relaxed than the waiter just now, and as soon as he left the small courtyard where he was eating, he directly took out his mobile phone and called Shang Huaiyan, and said at the beginning:

"Your favorite Blue Fang chef is really good at cooking, but I see that the Ted Building has started public relations!"

"Oh-"

In the evening, the guest table has just begun to serve.

Shang Huaiyan took his mobile phone and walked to the position near the water, propped himself on the railing with one hand, pulled the corners of his mouth, and turned a sneer on his lips.

After a few brief words with the judges opposite, he hung up the phone and walked back to the round table.

In less than two minutes, the dishes that had just been served on the table were emptied of their plates, and the waiter here put a new dish on the table, and the waiter over there had already removed the clean and empty plates from the table.

The big round table perfectly maintains the state of only one stack of plates from beginning to end, and eight people around the table compete, chopsticks are flying, and they are happy to eat!

Shang Huaiyan was dumbfounded:

"This ...... Is the dish delicious? ”

"Delicious, delicious, delicious!" Mr. Lin's mouth was stuffed with food, and he replied to Shang Huaiyan three delicious in a row, "These dishes are really amazing, if I don't come today, I will be in pain!" ”

After finishing speaking, he finally swallowed the food in his mouth and swallowed it down his throat, and suddenly slapped his chopsticks and was shocked!

"Wait!"

"What's wrong?" Shang Huaiyan hurriedly asked.

"How many dishes have you eaten now? I think it's delicious, how should I plan the menu later?! "Mr. Lin is simply broken!

"......" Shang Huaiyan.

But it was not only Mr. Lin who collapsed, when this sentence came out, the rest of the people on the table who grabbed food were reminded, it is not an exaggeration to say that in this instant, Shang Huaiyan almost saw the look of mourning on their faces!
