Chapter Twenty-Eight: Fish as Food

Chun Xing stepped forward and said aloud to everyone, "It's time, please stop what you are doing." The chefs stopped chopping the vegetables in their hands. Chun Xing waved her hand, and saw a group of family members each holding a basin of water and placing it on each chef's case. Then, put all the sliced radishes in the bowl of water.

Chen Jinyue, Chen Youzong, Chen Youze, and Liu Yuchan on the judges' bench stood up in turn and walked to the chefs' various cases to observe whether the radish slices in the basin fell into the water.

In the first game, four of the chef's slices of radish fell into the clear water and could not float on the surface of the clear water. As a result, these four chefs were eliminated in the first game, and their cases and stoves were also temporarily withdrawn. Now, there are 10 chefs left on the field, Fan Erye, Xia Fangcun, and Lin Miao are among them.

The old man Chen Jinyue stopped in front of Lin Miao, and he saw that the radish slices in the Lin Miao pot were floating on the water, not only that, but these radish slices were as light as cicada wings, floating on the clear water, almost invisible. Chen Jinyue twisted a piece out curiously, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and while observing, his mouth exclaimed, "Oh, this knife is so good, it can be cut so thin." As he spoke, he fished out a few more pieces from the basin and nodded again and again, "Yes, each piece is evenly thick, crystal clear, and the bamboo crumbs on the board are not stained at all, and this force is very accurate." ”

Lin Miao smiled, "Master, you really have vision." After speaking, she also fished a piece from the basin, held it in her hand, raised her arm to point the radish slices to the sun, and then said to Chen Jinyue, "Master, look, you can see the sunhalo this way." ”

"Oh?" Chen Jinyue also followed Lin Miao's example, aiming the radish slices in his hand at the sunlight, and suddenly, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, "I didn't expect that the legendary faint halo is really a thing." ”

Young Master Chen Tianhao also came up curiously, "Grandpa, what's going on?" ”

Chen Jinyue laughed and showed him the radish slices in his hand. Chen Tianhao couldn't see why, only smiled slightly, and put the radish slices into the water in the basin again.

At this point, the gong sounded again. Chun Xing announced the results of the first game, "Everyone, at the end of the first game, four chefs cut slices of radishes sank into the water, so four of them were eliminated in the first round. There are still 10 chefs left in the field, so please keep up the good work. ”

Then, she cleared her throat, "Now announce the title of the second game." The title of the second game is: Fish. Chefs are free to do whatever they want, and you can use all kinds of fish. In this round, the four judges vote on the dishes made by each chef, and only those who get three or more votes can be considered a guò competition. If you don't have a guò competition, you will be eliminated. ”

After speaking, the gong sounded, and the second game began.

Each chef walks to the designated tank and selects the fish he wants to use as an ingredient. Some people pick catfish, some people pick grass carp, and some people pick flounder. Lin Miao also stepped forward, she looked left and right, thinking while watching, suddenly, her eyes lit up, pointed to a fat grass carp in the water tank, and said to the family, "Excuse me, fish this grass carp for me, thank you." ”

"Great!" That Ding Yiyan fished up the grass carp picked by Lin Miao. When she was about to hand it to her, she found a little girl about ten years old standing in front of her. He looked at Lin Miao suspiciously, "Little girl, are you going to help your chef with chores?" If you don't pick the ingredients well, the taste of the meal will be a big difference. ”

Lin Miao hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I'm the chef, don't worry, you can leave it to me." ”

She reached out to pick it up, but the guy didn't hand it to her, "You're the chef?" Although he didn't believe it too much, he didn't question it anymore, but continued, "Your strength is too small, let me help you with these things." ”

Lin Miao was stunned for a moment, then nodded gratefully, "Then thank you." ”

The family was also very good, and after three times and five to two, a fat grass carp was cleaned up. Lin Miao took the cleaned grass carp back to his stove and put it on the board. She cut off the head and tail of the grass carp and then slice the meat in two along the middle bone. With the skin facing down, the large spines of the fish are cut off with an oblique knife and then cut into slices of moderate thickness. Pieces of pink and white fish fillets lie on a white porcelain plate, like fine pink jade. Lin Miao poured an egg white into these pink and jade-like fish fillets, added salt, cooking wine, and starch to grasp well and marinated.

Then Lin Miao began to prepare seasonings, cut the dried red pepper into sections, slice the ginger and garlic, and clean and wash the soybean sprouts.

Turn on the heat, add oil to the pot, wait for the oil to heat, put the peppercorns in the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, and then add the hot sauce. Immediately, the whole pot became oily, red and spicy, and people couldn't help but drool. Then put ginger and garlic cloves, fish head and tail into the pot, when the fish is browned on both sides, put in boiling water, and the deliciousness of the fish will spread out in an instant. Next, put the marinated fish fillets in the pot, then put the soybean sprouts in the pot as well, add seasonings such as salt, and remove from the pot after a while.

I saw that the white porcelain basin contained the delicious red and spicy boiled fish, which was full of fragrance and bright color.

The crowd on the side was also attracted by the scent, and swallowed their saliva gurglingly.

"Wow! Where did this delicious and spicy taste come from? ”

"It should be made by Second Master Fan, Duke Chen's Mansion belongs to Second Master Fan's best cooking skills."

"No, Second Master Fan is making sea bass in soup, where is the spicy taste."

Everyone's eyes were purring, and they kept probing their heads and searching the field. At this time, there was also movement in the judges' seat.

Chen Tianhao moved his nose, swallowed his saliva, and asked Chen Jinyue next to him, "Grandpa, do you smell what this smell is?" It smells so good. ”

Chen Jinyue also inhaled hard, "It's so refreshing and spicy!" ”

At this time, Fan Erye's perch in soup was also ready. The golden sea bass lies in the milky white soup, and the ginger and red pepper are garnished on top, which makes the soup rich and delicious. Most of the attention of the family members and mothers-in-law who were watching the battle was here with Fan Erye, and when they saw that he had already served the plate out of the pot, they stretched their necks to see what was going on.

Xia Fangcun made sweet and sour carp, and the bright and ruddy sweet and sour sauce scraped on the sliced fish, like a blooming pineapple flower.

The chefs' fish are basically ready, the gong is also sounding at this time, and the time for the second game has arrived.
