Jiangbian agrees with the words of the judges, but he also has some doubts in his heart, if there is only emotion in the dishes, there is no color and flavor, can he still have the qualification to be directly promoted? In addition, whether this is integrated into the feelings, what kind of feelings are integrated, and how to judge?

Jiangbian didn't go to see what kind of expression the judges would have when they tasted the dishes. Who advances and who doesn't make the cut has no impact on the riverside, he just likes to watch the excitement.

There is not much excitement to see in the mid-mountain village, and when I was in the mid-mountain village, I didn't even watch the gala by the river, because there was no TV at home, and it was impossible to go to other people's homes on Chinese New Year's Eve, so every time I celebrated the New Year, I could only listen to other people's homes counting 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 at home.

This kind of excitement is rare even in Shanmen Town. There are so many people in this city, and there are more people who come to a cooking competition than there are people in Shanmen Town to catch the market for the New Year.

Riverside struggled to move forward in the crowd.

Li Yueji walked out of the venue and kept looking for that familiar figure in the crowd, but there were crowds of people everywhere, where to find another person?

"Why do you look like a god?" Xiao Yalin asked, "Is that person so important to you?" Is it your first love? ”

Li Yueji shook her head, in the face of Xiao Yalin's banter, Li Yueji didn't have the heart to respond, what she was most concerned about was being able to find that familiar figure again.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Xiao Yalin hurriedly pulled Li Yueji back, "This "called a chicken" has some meaning, let's stop and take a look." ”

Qiantang famous dish is called Hua chicken, with Xiaoshan chicken, first wrap the lotus leaf to cover the chicken, and then wrap the lotus leaf with wine jar mud, "decorate" it like a big lump of mud, and then put it into the fire to simmer.

This wine jar mud can be a little particular, it is a thick layer of sealing on the top of the rice wine jar, after the altar mud is retrieved, it is necessary to add sake lees and chaff and other things in proportion, and finally it can be used to wrap the chicken.

Due to the limited quantity of wine jar mud that comes out of the rice distillery and can never be reused, many restaurants simply omit this step, and some large hotels in Qiantang can only serve a limited amount every day.

This person made a very traditional method called Hua Chicken, in order to make the cooking process more exciting, a seasoning preparation process was specially added, it seems, he performed extremely hard, but in fact, the highlight is in the fire.

Since it is covered with a thick layer of earth, the simmering time is not short. And in order to make diners really aware of the difference of traditional and ancient cooking.

This contestant also deliberately designed a link. Let the roasted chicken wrapped in mud be served directly on the table like a dinosaur egg, and "dangdang" three hammers.

In front of the guests, the mud eggs were smashed open with a small hammer, and a fragrance mixed with chicken, lotus leaves, and earth suddenly spread from the cracks in the mud eggs.

Then sprinkle the condiment on the chicken, relying on the residual heat on the chicken to blend the flavor of the condiment into the chicken.

"Is this called a chicken?" Li Yueji asked.

Xiao Yalin nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, it's called Hua Ji, what is called Hua Ji in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", that's it, but the call Hua Chicken, which is a famous dish in Qiantang, is a little different from the Hua Chicken in Jin Yong's novel, and it may be more particular." You see, the mud wrapped in the chicken is not ordinary mud, it is rice wine mud. This rice wine puree is not so easy to find. ”

"It must taste good, right?" Li Yueji asked, "This fragrance can be smelled from so far away." ”

"That's nature. First of all, this soil can be said to be the essence of the chicken, firstly, the sealed surname of the mud locks the aroma of chicken baking, and secondly, the fragrance of the soil itself can also penetrate into the chicken, relieving the greasy and refreshing.

But nowadays, the chicken that is eaten in many restaurants is either steamed first and then served with a lotus leaf, or wrapped in a lotus leaf and then steamed. Neither the former nor the latter is qualified in the field of chicken calling.

And this contestant, not only strictly follow the traditional cooking method of calling Hua Chicken, but also use high-quality rice wine puree more strictly, and the natural fragrance of the called Hua Chicken made is overflowing, which must be very good. ”

Xiao Yalin was right, after the judges tasted a bite of the chicken, they immediately praised, "Thank you to Mr. Li, the No. 10 contestant, for letting me relive the unique flavor of our famous Qiantang dish called Hua chicken."

The name of the chicken is called the chicken, and there is nothing that the audience present does not know. But there should be very few people who have really tasted authentic chicken, especially the authentic Qiantang chicken.

We have many famous dishes in Qiantang, and many people can list dozens of them, but according to the recipes, they may not necessarily make famous dishes in Qiantang.

With the increasing fame of Qiantang cuisine, the generous Qiantang people have already made the traditional Qiantang cuisine cooking method into a very clear standard, so that more people who love food can enjoy it without Qiantang. In fact, it is not necessary to have a standardized recipe to cook authentic Qiantang famous dishes.

The dish that Mr. Li showed us is called Hua Chicken, which is cooked in strict accordance with the traditional process of calling Hua Chicken, and Mr. Li's regulation is also very in place. This makes this dish show its unique flavor out.

So, this cooking show is perfect. My colleague and I agreed to give our direct qualification quota to Mr. Li, hoping to see Mr. Li recreate the style of Qiantang famous dishes in the finals! ”

Li Yueji is not as interested as Xiao Yalin, even if she is a little interested in this called Hua Chicken, but during the whole process, she still looks around many times.

It's a pity that I haven't been able to find any trace of the riverside.

Jiangbian looked down all the way, came to participate in the competition, there are some unique things in his hands, it looks very novel, and it is also of great help to the improvement of his cooking skills, although Jiangbian is not very interested in cooking, but in order to cope with this cooking competition, Jiangbian still strives to improve his level.

I have conditions that others can't match, and there is no reason to lose to others in a cooking competition. Especially after meeting Yuan Wenguang, the person who despises himself can't let him be too proud, this is Jiangbian's consistent style.

Jiangbian's thinking, which was originally just trying to cope with it, has changed a lot.

Jiangbian looked at several places in a row, and slowly gained some experience of this cooking competition.

The judges seem to have a special preference for Qiantang famous dishes, and several contestants who directly advanced to the competition are all Qiantang famous dishes. It is not excluded that the famous dishes of Qiantang made by these people are very good, but there are also culinary associations that want to take advantage of the cooking competition to promote the famous dishes of Qiantang.

Especially recently, some special programs on Qiantang TV are about Qiantang famous dishes, and there is a special feature called "Recovering Qiantang Famous Dishes". This feature was jointly filmed by the Qiantang Culinary Association and the Qiantang TV Station.

The riverside looked at it a little when I was free. It shows that the Qiantang Culinary Association attaches great importance to the promotion of Qiantang famous dishes, so in this cooking competition, the contestants who cook Qiantang famous dishes are more respected.

Although Jiangbian has not been in Qiantang for a long time, under the influence of Liu Jiedong, he still has a certain understanding of Qiantang's famous dishes. There are a lot of fish flavors in the famous dishes, such as fish balls in clear soup, vinegar fish in West Lake, steamed anchovies, dried herring fish, spring bamboo shoot step fish, clams and crucian carp, fish head soup, shrimp roe and winter bamboo shoots, fried shrimp and so on.

Ebebe felt that if he made a fuss about these famous dishes, he might be able to achieve unexpected results. Some of these famous dishes are simply not something that others can do, such as steamed anchovy, and if someone else wants to make this dish, this wild anchovy is not so easy to find, right? But for the riverside, it is not difficult. In the space by the river, several wild anchovies have been raised for a long time. These anchovies, which have been raised in the space for a while, are probably even more delicious than wild anchovies.

The riverside looked up and looked around, and was about to sigh when he suddenly noticed a familiar shadow in the distance.

"Li Yueji?" The riverside was a little puzzled, but when he wanted to look closely, the other party was completely blocked by the bustling crowd.

"Impossible! Although I heard that she is also in Qiantang City, it will not be so easy to touch! Jiangbian scratched his head and walked on.

Li Yueji seemed to see that figure again, and it was not far in front, but it separated an exhibition area, and the handsome guy in this exhibition area was showing the wind-scratching knife work, which caused everyone to watch.

When Li Yueji squeezed through the crowd, the onlookers suddenly let out an exclamation in unison, only to see the muffled chef wave the two kitchen knives, and then catch them lightly, and then fly with both knives, sprinkling a piece of knife light on the cutting board.

Li Yueji is so easy to squeeze out of the crowd, where can I still find that familiar figure?

"Yueji, Yueji, wait for me, don't go so fast!" Xiao Yalin struggled to walk through the crowd.

Li Yueji looked around in disappointment, there were bustling crowds everywhere, but there was no figure she was looking for.

Jiangbian walked out of the guild hall, and Yan Yuan was already waiting at the door.

"How? Do you see the doorway? Yan Yuan asked.

Jiang Bian smiled slightly, "If you can see a little bit of the way at this glance, then I am the god of cooking!" ”

"You are, you have to be! I'm pointing to you for being famous, so expand the fish flavor restaurant! Yan Yuan smiled.
