Chapter 66: Drug Shock
Half an hour later, the aroma of stewed pork ribs had already wafted in front of Yin Xin, and in this half hour, Yin Xin did not sit in a daze, but picked up a fruit knife and peeled two pears, dug out the pear cores, cut the pear flesh into transparent slices, and chopped two corn into large pieces, and threw them into the pork rib soup together with the pear meat slices......
"Pear meat? Corn? Guy, old man Yin, I didn't expect you to be quite innovative at your age, you can make such a trick in a bowl of pork rib soup, old man admires, admires! Looking at Yin Xin's movements, Zu Huatian couldn't help but smile weirdly.
"Old man Zu, let me say it again, this hand is not what I taught......" Yin Tiandi slowly swept his gaze to Zu Huatian on the side, and said coldly.
"That is to say, Ling Sun has been taught by a master master? I didn't expect that in Jiangnan, there are people who are better at teaching students than Old Man Yin, Old Man Yin, I really want to meet that person and see who he is ...... Divine " Zu Huatian sneered.
Yin Tiandi no longer spoke, but sat on the chair, smiled and said to himself:
"Yin Xin...... How did you get into Penglai Pavilion, how did you become the chef of a luxury hotel in just one month, and where did you get these recipes? Hehe, your body is really full of mysteries......"
As time passed, the aroma of pork rib soup quickly filled the entire hall, and the delicious aroma drew mouthwater. Yin Xin followed the instructions of the recipe again, poured the chopped water chestnuts, winter bamboo shoots, matsutake mushrooms, winter melon and other ingredients into the pot and simmered slowly over medium heat, it was not bad at all, it seemed that he had won the appetizing soup competition! The ferryman was scared, and Brother Guan looked at Sister Zhang
The sun had risen in mid-air, and it had been almost two hours, and it was already ten o'clock in the morning. Yin Xin glanced at his watch and was about to take the pork rib soup out of the pot, but Yin Liang took the first step to take the seafood soup out of the pot and brought it to the three judges:
"Seafood assortment soup, please enjoy it!"
The staff put Yin Liang's seafood soup in three straight blue and white porcelain bowls, and then placed it in front of the three old men. The three old men glanced at each other, silently picked up the seafood soup in front of them, put it to their lips and sipped it carefully. The audience was silent, holding his breath and quietly waiting for the evaluation of the three, after two minutes of silence, Zu Huatian took the lead in putting the porcelain bowl and sneered:
"Okay! It's been a long time since I've drunk such a rich soup! The soup is thick and white, the taste is delicious, it is really necessary to melt the old tongue freshly, this Yin's seafood soup really deserves its name! ”
Yin Tiandi also picked up the bowl and drank the hot fresh soup in one go, put the bowl and said in a deep voice:
"Yin Liang, yes, your level has improved by leaps and bounds, this soup is indeed so rare that it can almost paralyze people's tongues, which is surprising and sighing. Who gave you this hand? ”
"Grandpa, no one taught me, I figured it out myself. In order to satisfy you, I practiced hard for a month, hoping not to defile the tongues of the three seniors. Yin Liang hurriedly said with sincere fear, but a smile appeared imperceptibly on the corner of his mouth......
Ji Wenqi also drank the soup, a trace of shock appeared on his face, he smacked his tongue, and after a long time, he slowly spoke:
"Yin Liang, you are in this soup...... What's added? ”
Yin Liang's heart sank slightly, and he hurriedly said:
"Dean, I didn't add any ingredients, just ordinary ingredients, but I made a bold innovation this time, and chose the freshest French clams, Japanese sea cucumbers, New Zealand squid, Australian shrimp chips and other finest seafood mixed simmering soup, which can have such an impactful taste, and the younger generation did not expect it, it is really ......a fluke."
Ji Wenqi opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but he didn't say it, just smiled slightly:
"It looks like Yin Xin is also ready, why don't we try Yin Xin's stewed pork rib soup again?"
Sure enough, at this time, Yin Xin had already stewed the pork rib soup mixed with corn, winter melon, bamboo shoots, matsutake mushrooms, water chestnuts and other ingredients out of the pot. This soup is called 'Steaming Cloud Dream', taken from an ancient poem by Meng Haoran - 'Steaming Cloud Mengze, Shaking Yueyang City', the connotation is that in this seemingly simple clear soup, a variety of classic ingredients that integrate spring, summer, autumn and winter water, land, mountains and rivers are boiled together in this delicious pork rib soup, and the aroma is boiling, just like the vast Yunmengze, and the ribs dotted in the thick soup are like the small islands dotted in Yunmengze, vividly reproducing the classic scenes of ancient times, which is fascinating!
The recipe for this soup was just given to Yin Xin before the Snow Flavor Competition, so Yin Xin hadn't practiced it beforehand, but looking at it, it should have been quite successful. Looking at Yin Liang, who had been praised before, Nanfeng Wu frowned and said in a low voice:
"Yin Xin, although our soup has been done very successfully, however, Yin Liang has taken the lead and dominated the guests, I am afraid that there will be strange ......"
"Don't worry, this soup is a superb ancient dish, and if we fight the recipe, we can't lose. Let him go first, and we will win steadily! Yin Xin said confidently.
"Vapor Cloud Dream, please taste it."
Three bowls of steaming pork rib soup were placed in front of the three old men. Ji Wenqi snorted, nodded and said:
"It smells so good. The steam cloud dream is indeed true. Corn floats like an island in a lake, water chestnuts and pears make a thick soup like a boundless water, and delicious pork ribs lie quietly in the soup like a treasure at the bottom of the lake......
Yin Tiandi also smiled slightly, and said:
"Yin Xin, it looks like you're not going to tell me who the mysterious teacher behind you is, right?"
Yin Xin snorted slightly and shook his head:
"I don't have a teacher."
"Hehe, don't talk nonsense."
As he spoke, Yin Tiandi and the other three raised the bowl together and poured the thick soup into their throats. After a long time, Ji Wenqi put the bowl, frowned, and hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking:
Yin Xin...... Your soup is indeed very rich, but ...... Why didn't you put salt? ”
Yin Xin frowned, and said categorically:
"No way, I put salt clearly!"
Yin Tiandi also put the bowl and smiled slightly:
"If my expectations are correct, this soup should be filled with things that help with freshness, such as winter bamboo shoots and matsutake mushrooms, but the umami seems to be a grade below Yin Liang's seafood soup. Salt can help freshness, and your soup is light and tasteless, just like you don't put salt, Yin Xin, you really shouldn't make such a low-level mistake......"
"But Yin Xin really put salt, I can testify!" Nanfeng Wu stepped forward and said firmly.
Yin Tiandi and Ji Wenqi glanced at each other, and they both saw the answer to their guess from each other's eyes, but they both smiled slightly, and no longer spoke, only Zu Huatian sneered:
"Confused, confused! Such a delicious soup has been ruined by you two old fools! ”
"Old man Zu, what do you mean, I would like to hear it in detail." Yin Tiandi said lightly.
"Just, such a simple and easy-to-understand thing, I still use me to break it. It's not that this soup is not fresh, nor is it that there is no salt, but Yin Liang's seafood soup was too delicious before, which paralyzed our tongues, so it was tasteless to drink this soup, which really ruined this pot of excellent soup! Yin Xin, the two of them are confused and illiterate, why don't you discuss with your master and sell me the secret method of this soup? I pay a high price! Jie Ji ......" Zu Huatian Yin and Yang sneered.
Yin Tiandi and Ji Wenqi glanced at each other in shock again, and with Zu Huatian's affirmation, the meaning in their eyes became a little deeper. After Yin Tiandi was silent for a long time, he smiled slightly and said:
"Anyway, black is black, white is white, when it comes to freshness, Yin Liang won, there is no doubt about this!"
Ji Wenqi also nodded and said:
"Indeed, Yin Liang's soup is extremely rich and delicious, although Yin Xin's 'Steaming Cloud Dream' is ingenious, unique and amazing, but in terms of taste, it is still slightly lost to Yin Liang's seafood mix, regrettable ......"
Hearing this, Yin Xin and Nanfeng Wu's hearts sank at the same time, and through the evaluation of the two, they finally understood that this game was indeed ten thousand times more dangerous than imagined, and the water in it was like an abyss, unfathomable......
