The minced shrimp and soaked shiitake mushrooms have been cleaned and chopped into cubes. Mix the two foods with fine salt and chopped green onions, fill them with pumpkin flowers, and put them in the steamer.

Here, Yunzhu has already preheated the wok, scooped a piece of chicken fat, waited until the oil completely melted, added a spoonful of Yunzhu's carefully boiled fresh soup, cooked it with ginger juice, and boiled it together. Then I took a bowl and made a thin layer of starch with sweet potato starch, and the pumpkin flowers were almost ripe. Finally, the two are combined and boiled quickly, and the flavor can be out of the pot.

The rose porridge has been boiled, the acacia cake has not yet waited to come out of the pot, and the rest is jasmine chicken soup tofu.

Ping'an stayed in front of the stove of the chicken soup, carefully beating the foam and excess fat in the chicken soup until the soup was as cool as water. The key to this dish is the knife work of the chicken broth and tofu. As long as you master these two well, the finished dish is very fast.

The contestants made rose sugar cakes and vine cakes, which were made from wisteria flowers. There are also those who make osmanthus whole duck, and there are also those who make peony white fungus soup.

The shopkeeper Dong chose to do a full peony banquet. The six dishes he prepared were all based on peonies. In addition to peony white fungus soup, there are several dishes: peony flower tea, peony petal porridge, peony boiled fish fillet, peony flower steamed dumplings, and peony steamed swallow.

When Yunzhu was fine, he also secretly observed the shopkeeper Dong next to him, and thought to himself that this person is also very powerful, he can make so many different dishes with one flower. And it's also beautiful to look at. Unlike other restaurants, no matter what kind of flowers, they will only be blindly fried, or made into steamed buns and dumplings. Either the flowers are just a foil. It doesn't go into the dish at all.

The time was fast approaching.

Yun Zhu's choice of dishes is considered to be fast, so there is plenty of time, and the shopkeeper Dong, who has to make six dishes, is obviously a little tight.

Yunzhu filled the seven bowls she had handed out in front of her with the food she had made. Go with Ping An to serve the dishes.

The guest judges had already come down and sat under the dripping eaves opposite.

When Yunzhu faced He Zhiliang head-on, Yunzhu didn't look at him, so naturally he didn't know the anger in He Zhiliang's eyes. But when Feng Ping'an looked at He Zhiliang with cold eyes like sharp blades, He Zhiliang hurriedly looked away and looked away.

After the dishes are presented, we are waiting for the final tasting by the judges. The contestants also returned to their stoves. There are two baskets in front of each person. The judges only had to throw wooden signs inside. The more wooden cards you get, the higher your score. However, there are two kinds of wooden signs, and the red ones represent the favor. There is also a black wooden plaque that represents unpalatable. As long as you get three black wooden cards, you will be disqualified from the next competition.

There is also a basket for the gold medal dish, and the sign has a note pasted with the name of the dish. The most brands obtained. Of course, it's a gold medal dish. There are five places for the gold medal dish. It's relatively easy.

Before waiting for the judges to make a judgment, the restaurants are also privately evaluating and exchanging with each other.

Shopkeeper Dong came over and generously wanted to eat the dishes made by Yunzhu. Yunzhu didn't refuse, and let the shopkeeper Dong taste everything. The shopkeeper Dong tasted it carefully, and said with great respect: "The shopkeeper of Wuwei Building is really hidden, and I am convinced." ”

Yunzhu has also tasted what he made, fragrant, elegant, and good at modeling, and every match is just right.

Shopkeeper Dong and Yunzhu both admire each other. They all generously admitted each other's cooking skills. It's not a promise and perfunctory on the scene.

Immediately after that, it's time for the judges to vote.

Yunzhu was a little uneasy. Fortunately, Ping An held Yunzhu's hand in time, passed on strength and courage to her, and whispered in her ear: "It doesn't matter, you did a good job." ”

Yun Zhu slowed down a little, but the first judge threw her a black card, Yun Zhu simply didn't look at it, kept hanging her head, and said secretly, it seems that she really wants to participate?

Ping An stood next to him, with a straight face, his eyes were a little cold and cold, and the three judges in the back all voted for red cards, and I don't know if it was because Yunzhu's dishes were delicious, or Ping'an's momentum was scary, but when it came to the fifth, the man hesitated for a long time or voted for a black card. As soon as he threw down the sign, he fled in a hurry, very afraid of looking at each other peacefully. Soon, it will be the turn of the last He Zhiliang.

He Zhiliang gave a red card to the shopkeeper Dong, and when he arrived at Yunzhu, there was still a black card and three red cards.

He was not afraid of a peaceful gaze, and said with a thorn: "Who told you to fall into my hands today?" So saying, he threw the only black card into the basket.

Ping'an gave He Zhiliang a fierce glance, and He Zhiliang dropped the sign and left.

In the end, when it came to the statistical results, Yunzhu learned that she was ruthlessly thrown three black cards, which means that she was out of the next food competition.

Shopkeeper Dong looked at Yunzhu in surprise, his eyes full of sympathy and incomprehension. He had tasted Yunzhu's cooking, and of course he had tasted what others had made. Yunzhu can't find any fault with it. Whether it's taste or shape, it's very appropriate, how can it be voted black. And he himself has a black card.

Shopkeeper Dong really wanted to stand up for Yunzhu, but there was no place for them to speak in Mingyue Restaurant, and if he raised objections to the judges, it would definitely attract criticism. And the reckless man next to Yunzhu looked a little scary, since he started cooking, the reckless man has been watching him all the time, all of which makes the shopkeeper Dong very worried.

Yunzhu was the only one who was cast three black cards, and for a moment all eyes were on them, both sympathetic and mocking.

"What a woman is here to make a fuss about. The one towering next to him was also a monster. ”

These words gradually drifted into Yunzhu's ears.

Ping'an was angry, he lowered his head and whispered to Yunzhu: "You stand here and don't move, don't say anything, look at me." ”

Yunzhu didn't know what Ping An wanted, so he just watched him, packed up all the remaining dishes, put them in a big dustpan, and walked towards the judges with the big dustpan.

Let the judges taste it again in turn, and the momentum is compelling, although there are reluctant, such as how to know the conscience. I had to do it obediently.

Every time someone tasted one, he asked, "How does it taste?" Is it delicious? ”

If the answer is good, forget it, if the answer is not good. Then he asked, "What's wrong with the taste?" It's still not good-looking...... "That's it."

When He Zhiliang arrived, he still asked those questions, He Zhiliang's face was like frost, and he only spit out two words "not good", what was not good, and he did not explain the situation.

After Ping An's efforts, he successfully canceled two black cards for Yunzhu. Only He Zhiliang is still there. His purpose was obviously to embarrass Yunzhu. When he knew that the two people who had voted for the black card had changed their minds, he also went up and asked: "This is not in accordance with the rules, since the judgment has been made." Change where you say. ”

"I didn't think well at the beginning, so there's nothing wrong with re-investing." The person who spoke was the one who hesitated just now, he was a rich boy in the city, and his biggest hobby was eating and drinking. So I'm interested in what to eat. The first time you cast a black card to Yunzhu. It was because he knew that he wanted to hold Xiushui Restaurant, so he had to suppress these nobodies, and later he tasted the dishes made by Yunzhu again, and felt that it was really delicious, and heard that Feng Ping'an was a powerful person, and even General Wuwei valued him very much, so he changed his mind in a hurry.

He Zhiliang was angry, but he thought to himself, didn't he let Yunzhu lose his face, and he was very unwilling in his heart.

The judges reversed the verdict. Although it attracted doubts, Ping An served the dish and invited it to be tasted. The doubts gradually disappeared, and Yunzhu turned the corner.

She looked at Ping An in surprise, thinking that such a simple and honest man, who used to seem a little wooden, could actually stand up at a critical moment and do this for her, Yunzhu couldn't find any other adjectives except gratitude.

Although there were some turmoil, the first round of voting has ended, and Xiushui Restaurant was selected as the best restaurant. Many people have predicted this result, but there is not much reaction, the shopkeeper of the Xiushui family came out to receive the plaque, smiling with crooked eyebrows, but in his heart is thousands of grass and mud horses running by, he invested a hundred taels, bought such a plaque, hoping that it can come in handy for the restaurant. Next year, it's time for them to hold a food competition.

Then it's time to select the gold medal dishes.

This session is much more interesting, with a total of five places. There are two brands in each of the judges' hands, and the judges write the name of the dish on the brand, and whichever has the most cards wins.

When evaluating the gold medal dishes, He Zhiliang did not stay in front of Yunzhu and their stoves, but voted for both brands to Dong Shopkeeper for the sake of Qi Yunzhu.

Yunzhu turned a blind eye to everything, but there were also many signs in the basket in front of them.

In the end, the peony steamed swallow and peony fish fillet of Mingyue Restaurant, as well as the azalea ham soup of Donglai Restaurant, and the rose porridge and jasmine chicken soup and tofu of Wuwei Restaurant were rated as gold medal dishes. And the Xiushui family, which was rated as the best, did not make the list for a single dish.

Yun Zhu was also surprised, but she didn't expect that she would win gold medals for both dishes. Because of the vote, their five-flavor restaurant did show their faces and earned enough scenes.

This result was not bad for Yunzhu, and she also congratulated the Mingyue Restaurant next door.

Shopkeeper Dong whispered to Yunzhu: "If it weren't for the so-called insider, the best might be between you and me." ”

Yunzhu smiled and didn't say anything.

Shopkeeper Dong secretly pointed at Feng Ping'an, and whispered to Yunzhu: "This guy in your store is not bad, he is very loyal." You're going to have to pay someone more and raise their salary. ”

Before Yun Zhu could explain, Ping An heard it, grabbed Yun Zhu's hand in front of Dong Shopkeeper, and proudly introduced: "She is my daughter-in-law." ”

"Ahh Shopkeeper Dong was stunned.

Yunzhu smiled apologetically.

After the game, Yunzhu didn't care about any relationship with other families, and was busy packing up his things with Ping'an and preparing to go back. By the way, tell the people in the store about the good news.

A restaurant that was almost canceled for the next session was awarded two gold medal dishes, and some other families were unhappy and wanted to come up to embarrass Yunzhu, but when they saw peace, they didn't dare to take it seriously and reason with Yunzhu.

The guys in the Five Flavors Restaurant are all sitting in the hall at the moment, and there are no diners coming to the door. They drank tea freely and chatted, and the topic of the conversation was naturally today's game.

One of the little five complained there: "The shopkeeper is really there, he didn't let us follow." What about the day when the door is closed, hasn't it been so long in front? ”

Zhang Fu patted Xiao Wu's head and said, "Slippery head, you go to the front to inquire and see how the shopkeeper performs today." ”

Xiao Wu said: "Okay, I'll go now." As he spoke, he ran out like a gust of wind.

Master Jiang was going to be very calm, drinking his tea slowly, looking like he didn't care about anything.

Xiao Wu didn't take long to come back and shouted, "Brother Afu, Master Jiang, it's not good." The shopkeeper got three black cards, and he won't be able to participate in the next tournament. ”

"Ah, how can this be." Master Jiang stood up one by one.

Zhang Fu also said: "No, our shopkeeper's cooking skills are so good, and everyone says that the dishes are delicious, how can you get three black cards." ”

Xiao Wu continued to inquire, and came back after a while.

"I heard that the two black cards were cancelled, and I won two gold medal dishes."

Master Jiang sat back calmly, and Zhang Fu was beaming.

By the time Yunzhu returned to the store, they all knew about it, and Xiao Wu and Zhang Fu both congratulated Yunzhu.

Yunzhu was also modest: "I can't do without your help." This honor belongs to everyone. ”

Master Jiang smiled and said: "This is very good, although it is not the best, it is better than elimination." Let's work hard next year. ”

"Well, I haven't given up yet."

Zhang Fuxiao asked: "Is it possible that from tomorrow, we can start selling those two gold medal dishes?" ”

Yunzhu nodded and said, "Naturally, you can, but there are more than two." I thought I might as well take advantage of this opportunity to reintroduce some new dishes. Just use these edible flowers, and then there are those inconspicuous wild vegetables, and make them a little rustic. This Master Jiang is the best, so he handed it over to Master Jiang to cook. ”

Master Jiang said, "No problem. ”

The next day, the names of the four dishes that appeared at the food contest appeared on the sign behind the counter. There are really many people who come to eat. Soon, the flowers we had on hand would not be enough.

"I have to trouble you to go to Qingtang again."

"No problem, I'll leave early in the morning and come back in the afternoon, do you have anything to bring?"

Yunzhu said: "I'll clean it up, there should be." Wait. ”

"Well, no problem. This time, I want to ask Aoyama about the garden. If that's right, we plan to start construction in October. ”

"Cheng, but I don't know if it can be repaired by the Chinese New Year." Yunzhu also wants to be reunited in her new home during the Chinese New Year. When spring begins, you can let Ping An help plant flowers and trees.

"Well, I can't guarantee that." But Ping An promised that he would definitely give Yunzhu a garden she liked. (To be continued......)
