The eyes of the four judges turned to Chef Zhao Zhiying at the same time, because this "Maple Forest Evening" is Zhao Zhiying's representative work. Li Yuanming's cooking of this dish today is not so much a tribute to Chef Zhao Zhiying, but rather a plagiarism of Hongguoguo.

Zhang Liankai took the lead in making a difficulty, "Li Yuanming, what is the name of your dish?" ”

Li Yuanming hugged his fists and saluted, "Go back to Imperial Kitchen Zhang, this dish is called Fenglin Night." ”

"Okay, you Li Yuanming!" Zhang Lian's anger increased sharply, "The plagiarism is so thorough, and I am reluctant to take a new name." ”

Li Yuanming seemed to know that he would say this, his expression was calm, and he straightened up confidently, "Zhang Yuchu said this, I don't dare to agree, how can I call it plagiarism because the name and shape of the dish are similar?" Take braised pork as an example, how many chefs in the world have made this dish, and even when participating in competitions, there is no shortage of chefs who have made this dish. Everyone uses the same ingredients and condiments to make braised pork, can it be said that who is copying whom? ”

Everyone was stunned when he said this, but Tang Jingliang nodded silently.

Li Yuanming went on to say, "The essence of food lies in inheriting the essence. ”

Zhao Zhiying, who originally looked cold, listened to Li Yuanming's expression, his expression eased, and he took the lead in showing a smiling face, "Chef Li is reasonable." I don't know if he was persuaded by Li Yuanming's statement, or Li Yuanming's sycophants hit the point.

The main creators didn't say anything anymore, and the other three judges didn't care anymore.

Tang Jingliang first said, "Chef Zhao, if you want to talk about cold vegetable carving, you are a master, a few of us don't dare to make an axe, Guan Gong plays a big knife in front of him, or you should come to taste it first." ”

Zhao Zhiying was even more useful in saying this, he didn't shirk it, he smiled, picked up a slender lancet, and wanted to taste it from the carved piece. I never thought that as soon as the knife touched the carving, before it could exert its strength, a small piece of the carving loosened.

Zhao Zhiying sighed in surprise, then picked up the chopsticks and took out the loose small piece. Only then did it become clear that it was a square carving, flat on three sides, with a maple tree carved on only one side. The layer of honey poured on the carved flower is slowly seeping down the ground sticky.

Chef Zhao suddenly realized that this dish was made up of countless small squares stacked on top of each other, and honey adhered to form a scene of a maple forest. On every small square, maple trees, mountains, mountain roads, horse-drawn carriages, and people are vividly carved.

Wonderful! It's wonderful. Chef Zhao said two wonderful words in succession, then put down his chopsticks, his eyes flashed, stood up, and walked to Li Yuanming's side. Zhao Zhiying put his left hand on Li Yuanming's right shoulder, and said with admiration, "It's really terrifying, the maple forest you made is innovative, original, and it is really a well-deserved carving saint!" ”

Li Yuanming was sincerely afraid, "Chef Zhao praised it falsely, and he deserved it in his later life!" ”

The other three judges were stunned when they heard Zhao Zhiying give such a high evaluation. Tang Jingliang first asked, "Chef Zhao, where is this Fenglin Evening Restaurant?" ”

"Haha!" Zhao Zhiying turned around and grabbed Li Yuanming's shoulder with his left hand, "The magic is that it is fine, it is broken into parts, and it is a small one." Carved each landscape into small squares, and then stacked these small squares to create the whole landscape. ”

When Tang Jingliang heard this, he gently pinched out a piece with chopsticks, which was really a small square. He was amazed, "This whole dish is made of stacked small cubes like this?" How can you make sure they don't fall apart? ”

When Zhao Zhiying heard this, she motioned to Li Yuanming to explain by herself with her eyes. Li Yuanming understood, stepped forward, carved with one finger of his palm, and explained, "Tang Imperial Chef, please look at the surface of this dish, there is a layer of lustrous honey, and the adhesion of honey makes the small squares stick tightly together. ”

Tang Jingliang nodded, put the small piece in his mouth, chewed it carefully, nodded and said, "The taste is a bit average, it seems that this dish is just the appearance of the dish." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly sighed, picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth, this time he actually nodded again and again, "The aftertaste is fragrant and sweet, which is completely different from the original taste of carrots, how did you do this?" ”

Zhao Zhiying was also shocked when she heard this: "What? Can you change the original taste of the ingredients? Then he returned to his position, put the piece he had just picked up in his mouth, and chewed it carefully. Suddenly, he was also stunned, there was really no carrot taste, but a faint sweetness.

"How is this done?" Zhao Zhiying couldn't help but ask.

Li Yuanming hugged his fists again and saluted, although he was proud in his heart, he was extremely humble on the surface, "This is why I made the carving into a small piece." In order to facilitate secondary cooking. The scenery on the small squares is carved first, and then quickly blanched in the boiled broth to remove the original flavor of the carrots and allow them to soak in the fresh flavor of the broth. Because of the short blanching time, the carrot has not yet become soft, so it has both the flavor of the broth and the crisp sweetness of the vegetables. ”

"That's wonderful!" Tang Jingliang and Zhao Zhiying are almost in unison. Both of them voted for this creative maple forest evening.

Zhang Liankai saw that the two of them were full of praise, and he also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and after tasting it carefully, he said disapprehantly, "Hmph!" 100 dense and one sparse. I think when Chef Li was making this dish, he just stood in his own perspective and simply wanted to show off his cooking skills, and he didn't think about the diners at all. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, especially Chef Zhao Zhiying. He asked puzzledly, "Imperial Chef Zhang, why do you say this?" ”

Zhang Liankai didn't answer, only glanced at Li Yuanming lightly, "Dare to ask Chef Li, is your dish cold or hot?" ”

Li Yuanming didn't know why he had this question, so he replied honestly, "Of course it's a cold dish." ”

"Humph!" Although Zhang Liankai is young, his face is stern at this time, and his fiery red and erect hair seems to be angry, which makes him even more majestic, "Your cold dish has been blanched in broth, and its original taste has been broken, I'm afraid it's not a simple cold dish, right?" ”

"This" Li Yuanming immediately understood what he meant, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"The original taste has been broken, the ingredients have been cooked for five minutes, and your dish is in the half-baked stage. If the diners were like the four of us, all of them were sturdy men, it would be fine. If you are a delicate woman or a child or an elderly person, if you eat a dish from you, I am afraid that you will have diarrhea. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuanming was already in a cold sweat on his forehead. When Liu Heyu heard the diarrhea, he couldn't help but cover his nose in disgust. And Tang Jingliang and Zhao Zhiying blushed, as judges, they didn't even think of this, how could they not feel that they had lost face.

Zhang Liankai and Liu Heyu did not vote, and Li Yuanming received two votes for this dish.

Li Yuanming lost to Lin Miao by two votes. Lin Miao became the winner of the third group of the second round and continued to enter the next round of competition.

At this time, on the wall of the backyard of Huixian Building, there was a teenager lying on his stomach, he looked curiously at the competition field of Huixian Building, and his body swayed. He turned his head, lowered himself to the person under him, and said, "Stand firm, you are so shaky that I can't see clearly!" ”

The little minion who was trampled under his feet said with a bitter face, "Young master, come down quickly, if you fall, the minion's life will be gone." ”

"Shhhh Don't make any noise, go any higher, I'm going to flip over. As he spoke, the boy stood on tiptoe and stepped on the servant's shoulder.
