Chapter 37: The Final Showdown (I)
The time of Shen was approaching, and Fan Erye beckoned Lin Miao to come together, cover the prepared soup and osmanthus cake with a lid, and bring it to the scene of the competition.
Chun Xing was already waiting at the scene, and when she saw Fan Erye and Lin Miao, she hurriedly motioned for them to put the dishes they had prepared in their hands into the prepared utensils and cover them. In front of the judges' bench, a square mahogany table was added, on which were lined up three identical vermilion pottery pots, each with a lid. The dishes prepared by the chefs can be put into clay pots together with porcelain plates and soup pots.
Xia Fangcun has also arrived at the competition site, unlike Fan Erye and them, he did not put the prepared dishes in the clay pot, but was preparing the ingredients on the spot, it seems that his dishes have not yet started.
Lin Miao whispered to Second Master Fan, "Grandpa Fan, do you think he really knows how to make braised pork?" ”
"Isn't that obvious, the ingredients he is preparing are just for making braised pork"
Lin Miao took a closer look and found that it was really as Fan Erye said, on Xia Fangcun's case, a one-inch square piece of pork belly had been cut, and the accessories on the side were exactly what the braised pork needed.
Lin Miao was about to ask again, but saw that Second Master Fan gave her a look, which meant to ask her so much not to be muttering beside her. Lin Miao obediently closed her mouth and stood with Fan Er Ye in their respective chef positions.
Xia Fangcun saw that it was almost time, and began to put the pot on the fire, and the oil was fried and stewed, and soon, a fragrant braised pork was ready. Lin Miao couldn't help but nodded, Xia Fangcun's cooking skills are really extraordinary, in the whole process of making braised pork, the movements are smooth, the materials are accurate and refined, and the heat is also very well grasped.
Xia Fangcun also put the braised pork he made in a vermilion clay pot and covered it with a lid. At this time, the three dishes on the mahogany square table have been prepared.
At this time, the judges have also come one after another, and the old man Chen Jinyue obviously took a nap at noon, and now he is still a little lazy after getting up. The rest of them were in good spirits, but the old lady Wang Fengyu did not come together, probably because she felt that she had eaten too much in the morning, and she would not join in the fun in the afternoon. Miss Chen Wanyan was very interested, followed the eldest grandmother Liu Yuchan, chattered non-stop, and her position was also moved from the side of the playing field to the side of the eldest grandmother to sit down.
Chun Xing stepped forward and reported to Liu Yuciao, "Grandma, the dishes of the three chefs have been prepared and put in a clay pot to cover it." ”
"Good!" Hearing this, Liu Yucian stepped forward and said to everyone, "Everyone, the last game of today's competition is about to start, and the dishes of the three chefs have been prepared and placed in the three clay pots in front of me." For the sake of justice, none of our judges knew in advance which chef made each dish. Before the judges start tasting the votes, let me explain the voting rules for the final round. ”
Speaking of this, the eldest grandmother Liu Yucian paused deliberately and looked around. Everywhere her eyes went, everyone quickly fell silent, listening intently to what she was saying.
"The voting rules for this game are very simple, each judge can still only cast one vote, and the dish with the fewest votes will be eliminated. The two chefs who won will represent Chen Gongfu in next month's Tianqi National Food Competition. ”
As soon as the words fell, the crowd watching the battle began to talk.
"What's the comparison, that little girl must have been eliminated. By the way, who is she? I've never seen it before. ”
"You didn't watch the game in the morning, did you? Don't underestimate that girl, she survived the first three rounds, but she won against many other chefs. ”
"I was running errands outside the house in the morning, and I just came back. It's so powerful, that's not good, Second Master Fan and Chef Xia, that's the famous chef of our Chen Gongfu, and his cooking skills are very good. ”
"The afterlife is terrifying, you know a chicken claw."
A gong sounded, and the fourth game began. Chunxing stepped forward and said to the three chefs, "The judges are about to start tasting the dishes, please come with me if you want the three chefs to avoid it." Xia Fangcun, Fan Erye, and Lin Miao, under the leadership of Chun Xing, came to a side hall, and Chun Xing motioned for the three of them to take a rest in their seats, and they also found a chair and sat down.
Lin Miao asked her curiously, "Sister Chunxing, don't you go back to watch the results of the game?" ”
Chun Xing smiled faintly and didn't answer her. Lin Miao was bored, so she had to look away and look at the decorations in the room. Xia Fangcun and Fan Erye seemed to be very familiar with this kind of battle, so they didn't say anything, sitting silently in their positions, waiting for the final result to be revealed.
At the same time, on the field in the front yard, the maid opened the lids on the three clay pots one by one. I saw that there were three dishes in it: crystal clear osmanthus cake, moist and light sugarcane horseshoe drink, and sugary braised pork.
The old man Chen Jinyue only glanced at it, and then locked his eyes on the sugarcane horseshoe drink, "Oh, this sugar water is really, I know what my heart needs." Hurry up, serve me a small bowl. The maid next to him hurriedly handed him a small bowl. Chen Jinyue put a mouthful of it in his mouth with a small spoon, swallowed it gently, and only felt a clear and sweet flow into his whole body, and the smoky, boring, and lazy feelings in his body before disappeared all at once, and his spirit was refreshed. Chen Jinyue couldn't help but sigh, "Ah! It's comfortable. ”
With the nourishment of sugarcane horseshoe drink, he suddenly had some appetite, and Chen Jinyue unconsciously moved his gaze to the osmanthus cake next to him. The crystal clear appearance of osmanthus cake is extraordinarily human, coupled with its unique Fushou perfect plating, which is even more pleasing. As soon as he saw this dish, Chen Jinyue couldn't help but smile, "Haha!" The last game was a blessing word, and this game actually has a blessing and longevity, and it seems that Lin Miao's little girl did it again. I love it. After speaking, he picked up the blessing word in the middle and gently put it in his mouth. The osmanthus cake is elastic in the mouth, moist and tendonous, and the aftertaste has a sweet osmanthus fragrance, which makes people's lips and teeth fragrant. Old man Chen Jinyue nodded while chewing, and couldn't help but praise, "It's delicious, the old man has also eaten a lot of osmanthus cakes, but there are really few things like this snack that are so sweet but not greasy, ingenious." ”
After eating a piece of osmanthus cake, Chen Jinyue took out his judges' vote, and just wanted to vote for the osmanthus cake, but after thinking about it, he hesitated again, "Oh, this sugar water is also very good." It's really hard to choose, and it makes the old man embarrassed. ”
When Chen Tianhao heard this, he also picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and tasted it, and nodded again and again, "Grandpa, just vote for the osmanthus cake, it's delicious, I don't like sweets like me, I think it's good." Chen Jinyue looked at his grandson's drumming and chewing cheeks, but he was still undecided. Throw it to the osmanthus cake, and I think the sugarcane horseshoe drink is also very good. Cast it for the sugarcane horseshoe drink, and I think the osmanthus cake is indeed rare.
Just as he was hesitating, Chen Tianhao was a little thirsty because he ate a piece of osmanthus cake, so he also filled a small bowl of sugarcane horseshoe drink. As soon as he took a spoonful of his mouth, his eyes widened, and he nodded again and again, "Mmmm! Grandpa, I get you. Otherwise, let's wait and see, if everyone votes osmanthus cake, we will vote for sugarcane horseshoe drink. In turn, we threw osmanthus cakes, lest one of them be eliminated. ”
Chen Jinyue slapped his palms, "Oh, why didn't I think of it, it's still my grandson!" ”
The two seem to have completely forgotten about jì, and there is also the third course of braised pork.
