Tao Qing turned a deaf ear to these compliments, as if immersed in his own world, he carefully pressed and kneaded the chicken, and his expression was extremely serious.

On the other side, Shao Chao of Xiangguo Mansion had already cleaned up a whole fish at this time. He picked up the kitchen knife in his right hand and naturally spun a knife flower in the palm of his hand, causing the audience on the sidelines to exclaim, and then, with a few knocks, the tail and fins of a whole fish were chopped off. Then, he picked up a knife with a slender and narrow blade, and cut the tofu on the side into cubes and prepared it. Shao Chao put the pot on the fire, put vegetable oil in the pot, picked up the handle on the edge of the pot with one hand, and lifted the whole pot up with a slight lift. With a slight movement of his wrist, the oil in the pan flowed down the edge of the pan, staining the entire pan with oil. At this time, the oil in the pot was slightly smoking, the oil was already hot, and he quickly picked up the fish from his mouth on the cutting board and gently followed the edge of the pot into the hot oil. I only heard the sound of swishing, and encountered the hot oil of the fish bursting and splashing, and from time to time there was the sound of oil beads bursting. The audience on the side was frightened, but Shao Chao was like no one, his face did not change and his heart did not beat. His eyes were firmly fixed on the changes in the fish in the pot, and from time to time he carefully turned the body of the fish until both sides were browned and fragrant. Only then did he slowly pour the boiling water that had been prepared on the side into the pot.

After the water in the pot boiled again, Shao Chao turned the heat to medium, then turned it to low heat, and let it simmer slowly.

On the other hand, Fan Erye saw that he was scraping the fish skin slowly and methodically, and several stripped fish had been placed on the cutting board, and a lot of fish skin had been placed in the white porcelain basin on the side.

Lin Miao wondered in her heart, Grandpa Fan was preparing fish skin? What is this to do? The title is appetizer soup, and the ingredients he prepares don't seem to have anything to do with the soup.

The audience outside the venue also expressed puzzlement.

"Hey, what are you talking about that Fan Er of Duke Chen's Mansion? Why can't I see what soup he's going to make? The soup of the other two chefs is almost ready, and he is still peeling some fish! ”

"I don't see what he's trying to do. I think he must be a poor cook, deliberately killing time here, and when the time comes, he will definitely not be able to come up with a decent dish. This Fan Er is from Chen Gongfu, I have never heard of any famous chefs in Chen Gongfu. ”

"Yes, yes, I remember that last year, Chen Gongfu sent a person named Xia Fangcun to participate, and as a result, he was eliminated in the first game. I guess, there is no cook in this Chen Mansion who can be on the table at all. ”

These words caused everyone to laugh, and Lin Miao also heard their words, and gritted his teeth in his heart with anger: You mortals, what do you know!

But I don't know what you're going to do! Grandpa Fan, can you not be so maverick? Lin Miao complained bitterly in her heart, but her face couldn't show half a point, her eyes kept switching between the three chefs, observing their progress in cooking. She found that Tao Qing of King Lin's Mansion and Shao Chao of Xiangguo Mansion were both confident, fluent, and the dishes were just ready. I couldn't help but be more worried about Second Master Fan.

After a short time, Fan Erye had already prepared all the fish skins, and I saw him put the water in the pot, and after it boiled, he put all the washed fish skins into the boiling water. The skin of the fish, which was originally still green and black, was melted into nothing soon after it was put into the pot and merged with the boiling water.

The audience who had just whispered, at this time, someone stood up and stretched his neck to look at Fan Erye's pot. Immediately, someone laughed: "What are you doing!" As soon as the fish skin was put into the water, it was all gone, and it seemed that his appetizing soup was boiling a pot of boiling water. ”

When everyone heard this, they also laughed.

Fan Erye ignored these at all, as if he hadn't heard their ridicule at all. He lightly salted the pot, turned off the heat, and poured the soup into a white porcelain bowl beside him to cool.

Next, wash the sour plum and use a lancet knife to remove the core of the sour plum, leaving only the plum flesh. First, the plum meat is cut into thin strips, then minced, and finally the minced plum is pounded into a garlic mortar to form a sour plum sauce.

The attention of the four judges was all attracted by Fan Erye at this time, and they all frowned, not understanding what Fan Erye was doing.

Tang Jingliang said to himself, "If you want to make sour plum soup, you shouldn't put fish skin, and the two flavors are against each other." It's really puzzling to make fish soup but not put fish meat! ”

The queen mother didn't pay attention to these at this time, she leaned on the soft cushion, closed her eyes lazily, her calves were gently resting on the small stool in front of her, and two little eunuchs were squatting next to her, helping her knead her calves. The sixth prince was sitting in a precarious position, his attention was all on the playing field, he, like the four chefs, was also very curious and puzzled, what kind of appetizing soup should Fan Er of Chen Gongfu make?

At this time, Fan Erye was peeling the pineapple. I saw that he first cut the pineapple into two halves, small at the top and large at the bottom, and discarded the top half. In the lower half, Fan Erye first took out some of the pineapples inside and let them form a bowl, and then he began to carve patterns on the outside.

As soon as he began to carve, Zhao Zhiying, a master of cold dishes, couldn't help but lean forward and carefully look at the content of his carving. I saw that Fan Erye changed his previous slow and logical appearance, he quickly corrected the cyan pineapple skin on the surface, and then, along the edge of the pineapple bowl, carved lifelike peony flowers. The outer blue pineapple skin is also carved into the leaves of the peony flower according to its shape and texture. Zhao Zhiying secretly praised: Beautiful! The flowers are rich and rich, and the meaning is very pleasing. This pineapple itself is yellow, and the peony flower is carved from pineapple, and it becomes a golden peony, which is not only beautiful but also rich, and it is really a flower that blooms and is rich!

After the pineapple bowl was carved, Fan Erye tried the soup in the white porcelain bowl with his hand across the wall of the bowl, and found that the temperature had dropped. At this time, the soup in the white porcelain bowl had begun to solidify, and it could be vaguely seen that it had become crystal clear in the middle.

Fan Erye slowly poured the soup in the white porcelain bowl into the pineapple bowl, and then gently poured the prepared sour plum sauce into it. The sour plum sauce slowly penetrates into the soup and forms a beautiful pattern.

Looking at Tao Qing in Lin Wangfu, the soup made of chicken soup has been completed at this time, and he put the massaged whole chicken in his hand into the soup, and simmered it slowly.

Shao Chao of Xiangguo Mansion added the tender white tofu to the fish soup at this time, and then lightly added a thin salt, which was also simmered over low heat.

On the other hand, Fan Erye, as if he had finished it, pulled over a stool and sat down, clasped his hands on his chest, and began to rest for a while.

"Fan Er, is your dish finished?" Zhao Zhiying couldn't hold back at first.

Second Master Fan shook his head: "Not yet." ”
