Chapter 30 Choosing Ingredients
After a while, the judges tasted all the fish made by the 10 chefs, and the results of the votes on the field also came out.
Chun Xing stepped forward and said loudly, "Now there are a total of 5 chefs with 3 or more votes on the field: Xia Fangcun, Liu Long, Fan Erye, Shang Xi, and Lin Miao. Congratulations to these 5 chefs for passing through the second game and moving on to the next game. ”
Lin Miao took a closer look, except for Fan Erye and Xia Fangcun, who knew each other, the other two chefs were relatively fresh. The one called Liu Long is about 40 years old, with dark skin and a strong figure, and he has always had a fierce and unruly expression on his face, if it weren't for holding a kitchen knife, Lin Miao felt that with his appearance, he was more suitable for holding a pig-killing knife. The other one is called Shang Xi, who is also nearly 40 years old, white and fat, short and short, and his eyes are crooked and disappear when he smiles.
The audience burst into sparse applause, and Lin Miao's thoughts were pulled back. I only heard Chunxing continue, "Next, it's the topic of the third game: self-selection." ”
"Huh? Optional, what does it mean? The five chefs on the field have not yet spoken, and the audience is not calm at first.
"Do you want to do whatever you want? Then do what you are best at. ”
"It's really hard for all five chefs to make their own good dishes."
"Oh, what's the comparison! In our Chen Gongfu, the braised pork that Chef Xia is good at is the best. As soon as he made this dish, other chefs were immediately compared. ”
When Xia Fangcun heard this, he smiled and nodded smugly.
"Not necessarily, didn't he just lose to Lin Miao's girl two days ago, so in this way, Lin Miao is the champion of this game." Another family member next to him hurriedly corrected the previous mother-in-law's statement.
When Xia Fangcun heard this, he snorted coldly angrily, his eyes slanted at Lin Miao, and found that she was also looking at herself, so she snorted coldly again.
Lin Miao didn't care, she was proud of herself, and then returned her attention to Chunxing.
Chun Xing saw that the audience was talking lively, and motioned to the family on the side to knock on the gong, "Bell, bell!" ”
Everyone immediately fell silent, and all their attention returned to Chunxing. Chun Xing cleared her throat, and then said, "The so-called self-selection means that the chef chooses any ingredients to make, and each chef only has one chance to vote for the dishes made this time. In other words, although there are 5 chefs on the field, there are only 4 judges' votes. At the end of the tasting, the chef who did not get the judges' vote will be eliminated. ”
Xia Fangcun listened to the rules and confidently hooked the corners of his mouth. And the other four people, except for Fan Erye, were silent for a while. Lin Miao's heart was also thinking fiercely: the first two days to win Xia Fangcun, it was entirely because it was suitable for the time at that time, and the ingredients made just made the delivery guy stomach, but today's scene is completely different from that day, the lord, young master, lady, and young lady of Chen Gongfu, the delicacies of the mountains and seas that they eat every day, and at this time they are the judges, and they have almost picky requirements for the color, aroma, and taste of the dishes.
The eldest grandmother Liu Yucian took in the demeanor of the chefs, she beckoned Chun Xing to come in, whispered a few words to her, and saw Chun Xing leave quickly, and went to the back to prepare.
Everyone stretched their necks curiously, wanting to see why Chun Xing went and why she suddenly left the competition scene. However, within two minutes, Chunxing was back.
I saw that she was followed by five family members, each of whom was holding a box in his hand, which was not large, about two feet long and wide. The box was covered, making it impossible to see what was inside.
The audience is not calm again.
"What's that? Chests, huh? What's it for? ”
"I guess it's the prize for the champion."
"You're stupid, one prize is enough, why do you have to prepare five."
"Is it a rat or something?"
"Why are you pretending to be a mouse?"
"Let these rats judge whose food is better, and use animals to judge, the result is more fair."
"Oh, don't say it, when you say that, don't you mean that grandma and they are all mice."
The voices of the two mothers-in-law became smaller and smaller, and finally they even moved their fat bodies and squeezed to the back of the crowd, for fear that they would be punished if the grandmother heard what they had just said.
Chunxing stepped forward and said to everyone, "The box contains the ingredients for this game, and the five chefs need to randomly select one ingredient each, and then use it to cook." It's up to your luck to decide what ingredients you choose. ”
The crowd was in an uproar: I see.
Xia Fangcun was also stunned, what? If you randomly select the ingredients, you may not be able to make your best braised pork. Thinking of this, he quietly glanced at the eldest grandmother, only to see her sitting upright as if nothing had happened, smiling. Xia Fangcun quietly withdrew his eyes and deliberately calmly put his mind back into the competition.
Second Master Fan, who had not said a word, asked out loud at this time, "Excuse me, how to determine the order of the lottery?" Who comes first among the 5 chefs? ”
"In the order of the chefs' eyes."
As soon as these words came out, the selection order of the chefs was also decided: Xia Fangcun, Liu Long, Fan Erye, Shang Xi, Lin Miao.
Lin Miao sighed in her heart, she was the last, that is, she had no choice, and the rest was hers when others picked the rest. However, after thinking about it, she was relieved. The boxes are all covered, and no one knows the ingredients inside. Even if it's the last choice, in fact, all five people are relying on luck.
Xia Fangcun was the first to step forward, he paced around in front of the five boxes, and finally chose the box in the middle. The box opened, revealing a slaughtered fat chicken. Xia Fangcun was stunned for a moment, and then took the ingredients to his case casually.
Then, it was Liu Long, who casually pointed and selected the first box. The box opened, revealing two sausages. Liu Long was so shocked that his mouth grew big, isn't this a cheat, this sausage can be cut and eaten in addition to boiling, what other delicious ways can there be.
Fan Erye walked forward, picked up the last box and left, and after putting it on his case, he gently lifted the lid, and what appeared was a cabbage. Xia Fangcun looked at it and smiled. Fan Erye was not annoyed, and stood silently in front of the stove, waiting for the gong to sound.
Next was Shang Xi, I saw him smile and ask Lin Miao, "Girl, which one do you want to choose?" ”
"Huh?" Lin Miao was stunned, "You can choose, don't worry about me." You've chosen, and the rest is mine. ”
"Hehe" Shang Xi's eyebrows and eyes came together, "You choose first, just choose the rest for me." ”
"Bold!" Chun Xing scolded, "How can you change the order of the game if you want to, Shang Xi, you should choose first, you can choose, don't be verbose, at this time, come to show what to love the young." ”
Shang Xi hurriedly chose the second box, and at the same time looked at Lin Miao apologetically, Lin Miao felt embarrassed, and smiled apologetically at him. Shang Xi opened the box, and a piece of pork belly appeared.
Everyone sighed, but it's a pity that Chef Xia didn't choose it. Xia Fangcun glanced at the eldest grandmother again at this time, only to see that she was still smiling casually.
Lin Miao could only choose the penultimate box left, and after opening it, several potatoes appeared inside. Seeing this result, Xia Fangcun couldn't help but smile proudly.
