Chapter 111: Thousands of Purples and Thousands of Reds
"Huh? Food Garden? When the county official heard this, he was a little surprised, during this period of time, there were really a lot of things about Shiweiyuan, and every time he encountered it, he was unhappy, and he even began to wonder if he had committed a crime with Jian Ning.
"Is the Food Garden unable to cook, or does it despise the official and despise this God of Food? I actually took this kind of dish that can't be put on the table! The county magistrate shouted.
How could such a big movement not attract attention, and all of a sudden everyone turned their attention to the county magistrate, or the dish made by Shiweiyuan.
And Yin Jian pursed his lips disdainfully, Jian Ning's move was undoubtedly to make trouble for herself, such a dish, even if it was delicious, what about it? Everyone knows that the God of Food Contest is finally to be tested in front of the emperor, how can such a dish be served in front of the emperor? The first thing those judges look at is naturally whether the dishes they make can be put on the table, and Jian Ning is undoubtedly digging her own grave this time.
"Come on, remove the vegetables from the food garden, you don't even have to taste such dishes!" The county magistrate waved his hand in disgust and said to the official beside him.
"Wait!" Jian Ning didn't speak just now, and only then did she stop her from speaking out at this moment, "I didn't expect the county official to be such a sloppy and confused person. ”
"Bold! You Shiweiyuan make such a dish, and you dare to slander your own official! It just doesn't make sense! The county magistrate didn't like Jian Ning in the first place, but when he heard that Jian Ning was actually accusing himself like this in front of the public, he immediately reprimanded angrily.
How can that be? It's better to keep this sentence for yourself! Jian Ning took a few steps forward and faced the crowd, "I think everyone knows that every dish participating in the God of Food Contest must be tasted. This move of the adults can be said to be against the holy will and deceive the king! ”
Jian Ning said here. Turning his head to look directly at the county official, word by word, he asked loudly: "Dare to ask your lord." Where does this guts come from? ”
Jian Ning's words fell, and the county official's face immediately turned pale. Indeed, as Jian Ning said. Every dish in the God of Food Contest must be tasted, but there are many places where some dishes are eliminated before tasting them. In the past, the eliminated were basically some small restaurants, and they didn't dare to go against the officials, so they could only accept their fate, but this time it was Jian Ning who bumped into it.
"That's it, how can adults and judges do that?" At this time, Zhang Anfu, who had been anxious below, suddenly shouted loudly.
Someone in the crowd immediately agreed, and many people who had tasted the food garden were upset about the food garden. All of a sudden, the county official's face was extremely ugly.
Yin Jian listened to the voices of those people, but there was no particularly obvious action, but his heart was already angry, and he didn't expect that in just a few months, the reputation of Shiweiyuan would return to what it was before.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, the county magistrate just made a slip of the tongue, how could it really be that people would take the dishes down." At this time, an old man with a white beard came out of the round and said.
Jian Ning glanced at the old man and knew that he was the oldest qualified in this review, starting from the age of forty. I've always been a judge of the God of Food Competition.
At this time, the county official can only take advantage of this step to hurry down, otherwise it will be really difficult to deal with.
He snorted coldly and began to taste the first course.
It was a pregnant osmanthus produced by Penglaiju. It is a dish in which the ingredients are stuffed into the belly of the fish from the gills of the fish. In the eyes of the average person. The dish was okay and the shape of the fish was not damaged a lot. But Jian Ning knew that it was a failed dish.
The reason why she was slow to start just now was that in addition to calculating the time it would take for her to cook, she was also preparing to cook in order to see the dishes prepared in each restaurant.
She had just noticed that the cook in Penglaiju had made a mistake when dealing with this osmanthus fish. When he gutted the gills of the fish, he did not ensure the appearance of the fish because his technique was not too mature, and the biggest mistake was to cut the skin of the fish.
On the whole. It's still the shape of a complete fish, but it's not the most complete. Because the skin of the fish was cut, the fish had obviously lost the sense of vividness that it should have.
It's a pity, though. Very few of the judges noticed this, and they seemed to be satisfied with the taste of the dish.
Next is the second course, which is produced by Lanyue Lou and is also made by the only female chef other than Jian Ning.
It looks like a dish of tofu on its own, but in fact, the tofu is hollow in the middle, and the inside is filled with foamed meat and shrimp.
Compared with the previous dish, Jian Ning has a higher evaluation of this dish, at least she has no problem in operation. And compared to the rest of the big fish and meat, Jian Ning felt that this dish was much more chic, and in the end, the woman was more detailed.
Those judges who ate the tofu obviously gave good reviews, and they all nodded their heads, obviously more satisfied.
After that, the judges tasted the next few dishes, some of which were in the shape of roast suckling pig and some of which were roast chicken
Finally, when she finally arrived in front of Jian Ning's pumpkin, Jian Ning could see that the county official was obviously unhappy in his eyes, and he didn't even mean to move his chopsticks.
Liu Leshan kept clenching his hands nervously at the moment, staring straight at the judges' every move.
At this moment, Jian Ning handed a small round ball made of carrots in advance to Ruan Zijin, and said softly: "Zijin, is it feasible to hit that pumpkin with this?" ”
"No problem, it's a trivial matter." As he spoke, he took the ball, condensed his internal force, and shot it quickly.
The moment the little ball touched the pumpkin, something incredible happened to everyone. The pumpkin, which was originally fine, actually bloomed in front of people's eyes in an instant like a flower.
What's even more incredible is that at the moment when the pumpkin blooms, the three different flowers that were originally on the top of the pumpkin fall in the center impartially. And those colorful filaments, as if they were alive, clustered on the skin of the pumpkin bloom, are simply incredibly beautiful. From a distance, it looks like a large, colorful flower, with small flowers on it.
And those judges, at that moment, almost the whole person stayed there, and their eyes were full of surprise! How could this be, obviously they didn't do anything, why, suddenly, the pumpkin opened on its own, and bloomed into the shape of this flower, and the plate, which originally seemed extremely empty, actually seemed so appropriate at that moment, it was almost as if it had been formulated.
And the surrounding onlookers also showed incredible expressions, they were used to eating food, but they had never seen such an incredible scene. I didn't expect an inconspicuous pumpkin to suddenly turn into a flower, and it really has something inside!
Jian Ning looked at everyone's expressions and was very satisfied. Because that's what she wants. This dish is a new dish that she researched after she arrived here, and it was named Wanzi Qianhong.
Yin Jian was also surprised when he saw that scene, he couldn't imagine that a pumpkin could still do this, did he really underestimate Jian Ning? But he was also deeply puzzled, none of the dishes made by Jian Ning could be said to be from those dishes of Jian Baiwei. Whether it is the dishes ordered in the food garden or the dishes made now, it can be said that it has a completely different style from Jian Baiwei.
At first glance, Jian Baiwei's dishes belong to that kind of magnificence, and it will not be Jian Ning's appearance that looks inconspicuous at all, but has a lot of things inside.
The judges finally came to their senses, and their hands holding chopsticks trembled slightly because of shock and excitement. Gently pick up a chopstick and put it in your mouth. Suddenly I felt extremely refreshing, and I had been eating those greasy things just now, and now when I met this vegetarian dish of Jian Ning, I felt very happy.
What surprised them the most was that after eating, they still felt that their mouths were fragrant and the aftertaste was endless, and several judges even sandwiched several chopsticks, but they still felt that it was not enough. But for the sake of face, in the end, I walked through the simple dishes and walked to the last eight-treasure duck produced by Baiweilou.
Liu Leshan saw the expressions of the judges in his eyes, and the heart that had been hanging unconsciously let go, it seemed that Ning'er still had the ability.
Stopping in front of that Baibao duck, many of them felt salivating just by looking at them. Many of the judges here have eaten the dishes made by Jian Baiwei himself, and they also know that Yin Jian was Jian Baiwei's apprentice. After tasting this eight-treasure duck, he was naturally full of praise, and faintly felt that he had the level of Jian Shen's kitchen.
Jian Ning had no doubt about this, from the mouths of those old people who had been with Liu Leshan and Shiwei Garden before, she knew that Yin Jian's talent was very high, and he learned quickly no matter what kind of cuisine he had. At that time, they all knew that Jian Ning couldn't cook, so many people thought that Jian Baiwei would pass on all the mantle to Yin Jian, but they didn't expect that in the end, it was passed on to Liu Leshan.
All the dishes have been tasted, and according to the regulations, after a stick of incense, the judges will announce the final results. If the people have objections to the evaluation results, then they will choose the appropriate number of people among the people, and taste the dishes with objections again.
The official immediately lit a stick of incense in front of the table to keep time.
At this time, not only those judges were in a tense discussion, but even the people below were also excitedly discussing.
However, Jian Ning roughly heard two opinions, one was in favor of Shiweiyuan, that is, he was the first, and the other was naturally in favor of Baiweilou, that is, Yin Jian was the first.
Although the rest of the small restaurants also have support, the voice is obviously not as high as that of Shiweiyuan and Baiweilou. After all, there is no restaurant in Yangxin County that has built the reputation of Shiweiyuan and Baiweilou.
And the most worried is the rest of the chefs of those restaurants, because according to the regulations, this time in the preliminary competition of each county, each county can recommend three restaurants to compete in each state.
In this way, even if Shiweiyuan and Baiwei Building are excluded, there is still one that can be qualified to continue the competition. (To be continued) RO
