Chapter 46: Winning the Final

Zhong Tianzheng was determined to make the last dish, and basically the final was over after cooking.

With his previous experience in making spicy chicken, he prepared all the ingredients in advance this time, and then cooked them separately, so he basically completed the finals, and he looked at the time, and there was still one hour before the end of the finals.

The competition of several people in the finals has passed unconsciously for more than half of the time.

At this time, a contestant's green dragon crossed the sea and came out of the pot, which made the onlookers admire.

"Good cooking!"

People started applauding.

At this time, another contestant's fish and dragon dishes were also fragrant as soon as they came out of the pot, and some of the onlookers were drooling.

From time to time, Long Zaitian and Comfortably communicated hypocritically, commenting on the cooking skills of the chefs on the scene.

Zhong Tianzheng was unmoved, and continued to concentrate on cooking his own dishes.

Remove from the pot and put on a plate, add a few slices of garlic sprouts to garnish and serve.

Sichuan pepper should not be in a hurry to put it too early, otherwise the fragrance and numbness will not come out. After the tofu is cut into pieces, blanching it with boiling light salted water can remove the astringency of the tofu, keep the taste of the tofu delicate and not fragile; if it is boiled in boiling water, it will be too tough and the taste is not good; the bean paste in the bean paste should be finely chopped first; before the minced meat is copied, it is best to marinate it with cooking wine and salt for 20 minutes; the peppercorns are first fried in a pot until fragrant, crushed, and finally sprinkled on the tofu while it is hot, so that the hot and spicy taste can be enhanced; the tofu should be tender and not fragile, and it is better to make mapo tofu with southern tofu.

The characteristics of mapo tofu are numb, spicy, hot, fragrant, crispy, tender, fresh, and live, also known as the eight-character proverb.

Hemp: When the tofu is in the pot, it should be sprinkled with an appropriate amount of minced peppercorns. It is best to use Hanyuan Gong pepper for Sichuan pepper, which has a pure hemp flavor and refreshes people's hearts. If you don't get peppercorns, the numb flavor is stuck in the throat, which makes people nervous.

Spicy: The big red robe oil pepper of Longtan Temple is used to make watercress, chopped and cooked, and a small amount of cooked oil and sea pepper are added to cook tofu, which is spicy and fragrant.

Blanching: The characteristics of tofu maintain the temperature of the whole dish after it comes out of the pot and it is not easy to cool. Every time I eat chopsticks, I eat the taste of freshly baked.

Fragrant: Serve immediately after getting out of the pot, you can't smell the gypsum smell of tofu, you can cold-soak the rusty smell of tofu, and there is no original unpleasant smell of various condiments, only the fragrance that arouses your appetite.

Crispy: Refined meat filling, golden color, red crisp is not boarded, one by one, one grain, crispy in the mouth, and melted into the teeth.

Tender tofu is put into the pot, fried to get the method, the color is white as jade, there are flutes and horns, and it is broken when twisted, so it is mostly scooped with a small spoon.

Fresh: The raw materials of mapo tofu are all fresh, fresh and tender emerald green, red and white, fresh in color and taste, impeccable.

Live: refers to a stunt of the mapo tofu shop: the tofu is served on the table, the garlic seedlings are long in the bowl, the roots are erect in the bowl, the green and blue are blue, the oil is very bright, as if it has just been picked and chopped from the furrow, it is vivid, but the entrance of the clip is all ripe, and there is no jerky taste.

This dish is rich in animal and plant proteins, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins and carbohydrates

Mapo tofu has the effect of warming and nourishing qi, replenishing the middle and nourishing the body, detoxifying and moisturizing dryness, and replenishing the essence and marrow. This dish can quench thirst and strengthen the spleen when eaten in summer, which is conducive to fitness and disease prevention. Mapo tofu is also a delicacy for patients with high blood pressure, high blood lipids, high cholesterol, arteriosclerosis, and coronary heart disease.

Tofu is a nourishing, heat-clearing and health food, often eaten to replenish the qi, clear heat and moisten dryness, quench thirst, clean the stomach and intestines, detoxify and dissolve dampness, more suitable for heat and physique, bad breath and thirst, unclear stomach, and people who recuperate after fever. This dish is rich in animal and plant protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins and carbohydrates, which has the effects of warming and nourishing qi, replenishing and nourishing the body, detoxifying and moisturizing dryness, and replenishing essence and marrow. Tofu and fish are eaten together, which can better absorb the animal protein in fish.

But that's all a modern thing, anyway, in this era, it's hard to say what the health care effect is.

"The time has come, the competition is over, now please put down the kitchen utensils, stand and wait for acceptance. The butler shouted, and then sent someone to serve the chef's dishes and present them to the judges.

Gently take a little of each dish and put it in a small bowl, which also gives it to the land and the dragon in the sky.

After the judges and the dragon tasted it in the sky and freely.

"I said Master Longzhuang, according to the old man, the young man who cooks Cantonese food is good, the dishes are very smart, and they are not too sweet, which is in line with the old man's taste. ”

"Hahaha, is it? I think that the Sichuan cuisine made by Zhong Tianzheng is spicy and refreshing, not fat or greasy, it is very rare, in the past, Sichuan cuisine was easy to make people tired of eating, but Zhong Tianzheng skillfully blended the fragrance of peach blossom paper and the spicy absorption of mint with Sichuan cuisine. It is really the first in this competition. ”

Seeing that the owner of Long Zhuang obviously took a fancy to Zhong Tianzheng, he knew that it was useless for him to say more, and only Long Zaitian had the final say in the chef competition.

"Hmph. He flicked his sleeves freely and led his men away.

"Cut, old immortal, wait and see. "The dragon also despised the lower ground in his heart.

Then he called out to the butler and whispered in his ear.

"Yes, owner. The housekeeper left to tell a few of the judges.

After listening to this, several chef judges exchanged ideas and nodded.

Then the butler walked to the center of the field.

"Now, I announce that the champion of this chef competition is, Zhong Tianzheng!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Feng Ling'er called out excitedly.

"Miss, miss, be quiet, let the family see what kind of system it is. ”

"Win, win!"

。。。。。。

Shangguan Yan was also very happy and happy for Zhong Tianzheng.

After Zhong Tianzheng heard the result, for some reason, he didn't get happy, he looked at the young man, only to see that he was expressionless and left the competition venue, and the other players also left with their heads down.

"It's amazing, this Zhong Tianzheng can beat all kinds of players. ”

"Yes, the dishes he makes look extraordinary. ”

"That's what I just said, you see I'm right. ”

The onlookers and cooks were arguing with hindsight.

The housekeeper came to Long Zaitian and said a few words, and Long Zaitian nodded.

The housekeeper walked to the center of the venue and announced loudly, "Please Zhong Tianzheng come up and receive the plaque of the Imperial Gift Kitchen God." ”

The housekeeper beckoned, and the people came over carrying the gold-inlaid "God of Kitchen" plaque.

Zhong Tianzheng walked to the plaque, took the plaque and gestured to the onlookers, and then gestured to Long Zaitian to show respect.

"Hmm~" Long Zaitian seemed to be very satisfied with Zhong Tianzheng.

Then he gave the butler a look.

The butler understood, and he stepped forward to greet his subordinates and helped Zhong Tianzheng put the plaque aside.

Zhong Tianzheng thought it was over and was about to leave with the plaque.

"Hey~ Congratulations on getting the God of Cooking. ”

The housekeeper looked at Zhong Tianzheng with a smile and said goodly.

"What kind of pony?"

"Ao~ I understand, it's not time yet, I'm congratulating early, I'll wait, wait for you and Miss to get married, I'll change my words. The butler said with a sudden realization.

"Huh?"
