Liang Shuo ate a chopstick and put it down, picked up the teacup, and rinsed it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Qian Dehai saw that although he tasted it, he was not in high mood because of the food, but was a little careless, and couldn't help but worry. At this moment, the eunuch who served the food brought another snow porcelain soup cup, Qian Dehai's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked down the imperial steps, took the tray, put the soup cup on the imperial table in front of Liang Shuo, and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, this is the tomato lotus root red soup made by Miss Su Miao."

"Tomatoes? What is it? Liang Shuo was stunned for a moment and asked.

Qian Dehai was also stunned for a moment, went down and asked the eunuch who served the food, and came back after a while, and replied with a smile:

"Back to the emperor, Miss Su said that tomatoes are the wolf peaches that are usually eaten."

"Wolf Peach?" Liang Shuo was stunned, took his own hands to lift the porcelain lid on the soup cup, and said suspiciously, "That sour and astringent thing can also be used to make soup?" ”

He lifted the porcelain lid of the soup cup, and was greeted by a cup of orange-red soup. It's orange-red, but it's more red, and although it's red, it's not a scary red, but a particularly clear red with a hint of orange. The color of this soup is very bright, and it looks joyful, which makes people involuntarily think of the big red dress that Su Miao is wearing today.

Liang Shuo glanced at Su Miao, her red dress matched the color of the soup she made today, and she didn't know if she was intentional or just a coincidence, in short, at this moment, the impression of this orange-red transparent and crystal clear soup became deeper.

The temperature in early winter is already cold, even in the hall that burned the earth dragon, you can still feel a trace of coolness blown in the wind when you are indoors, at this time a cup of steaming soup is placed in front of you, the warm breath is blowing in your face, and there is a faint slight acid that induces people's appetite, suddenly, it makes people have a little spirit.

It is not so much that Su Miao's soup is delicate and delicious, but that the soup she makes is closer to the hearts of today's tasters, so that the tasters feel tired after a long morning of fatigue have been soothed, and at the same time, they have also gained a little warmth in this cold winter day.

Therefore, although this soup is neither as crisp and sweet as osmanthus glutinous rice root, nor as neat and delicate as pearl root, but just a cup of hot soup served up, coupled with the eye-catching festive color, people are unconsciously captured by such a soup, and people experience a sense of pleasure from this slightly sour and fresh fruit.

Tomato and lotus root red soup, the washed and stemmed tomatoes are boiled and crushed into a puree, the crushed puree is poured into the soup pot, butter is added and boiled, the whipping cream is poured little by little, and finally the lotus root slices are put in. Bring to a boil over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer until the soup is thick, let the puree melt completely, then filter out impurities and add only a little sea salt.

The taste of this soup is the same as the appearance of the soup, it is very clean, clear, clear and refreshing. Tomato and whipped cream are used as the base of the soup and crispy lotus root is added to it. The taste of the soup base is not complicated, and it is very clear, the fragrant and slightly sweet of the whipping cream neutralizes the astringency in the tomato, and the sweetness and sourness are also well accommodated, only the slight sourness is retained, and the sweetness has been completely integrated into the milky aroma of the whipping cream, making the milk flavor more pure, but not boring. The light sweet aroma transforms into a rich milky aroma, which smooths the stomach and intestines that are stimulated by the slight acidity, and stimulates people's appetite, but does not make people feel uncomfortable because of the uncomfortable sour taste.

In this soup, the lotus root has not undergone special processing, unlike the previous two dishes, which made a big fuss about the lotus root, which is the main ingredient, this soup is just a very ordinary soup where the lotus root is boiled in a tomato soup with light cream, and it is dyed with a bit of milky aroma. The lotus root slices still retain their freshness, lightness, crispiness and sweetness, mixed with clear and pure tomato red soup and sent to the mouth, and the teeth bite on the thin and uniform lotus root slices, making a crisp "click" sound. Even people who don't like lotus root will be infected when they are surrounded by warmth and sweetness, because the crisp taste is pleasant, because the taste of Qingling Ling is captured, crisp and crisp, fresh and sweet, fragrant, and its taste is endless.

At first, Liang Shuo just took a sip very casually, he didn't expect the soup cooked with wolf peaches, and the reason why he tasted it was because Su Miao was the aftertaste of his fiancée. Unexpectedly, after tasting it, I found that the taste was completely different from what I expected, and it was unexpectedly delicious. He scooped another spoonful and took a sip, the slightly sour red soup, if it was usual, he didn't like it very much, but after drinking this soup today, I don't know why, my tired body cheered up because of the sour taste, and the warm heat gave him a little energy.

In his memory, he only ate Su Miao's dishes once at the beginning of the Liangdu Competition, and he didn't think there was anything special at that time. After that, although Liang Dusai boasted about Su Miao's craftsmanship, he only smiled after hearing it, and didn't believe it, thinking that those who were just gossiping people were creating rumors again. Unexpectedly, after drinking the soup cooked by Su Miao this time, he felt a heavy body just now because of this soup, and he felt a lot more comfortable.

He drank half a cup of tomato lotus root red soup in one go, Qian Dehai saw that he was finally interested, and his heart was also happy, he stepped forward and asked with a smile:

"Your Majesty, do you want the slave to bring your Majesty another cup of red soup?"

Liang Shuo waved his hand, wiped his lips with a handkerchief, and said:

"No need, this soup is still a little sour, I can't drink anything too sour at my age, just a few sips."

Qian Dehai responded with a smile.

Liang Shuo swept around the nearby table and found that the seats below were all discussing the three dishes that had just been served with great interest. Those princes and ministers swept away the previous silence, and they all became full of energy at this time, and they hadn't noticed it before, it turned out that these people were also very interested in the Chef King Competition.

The originally lifeless palace banquet suddenly became lively, and even Liang Shuo felt a little surprised.

Lord Jiang came over and respectfully asked the emperor to score the first dish.

One point to five points, the lowest score is one point, the highest score is five points, the sum of the scores is calculated for the three games, and according to the sum it is decided who will be eliminated, so every point is crucial.

Su Miao stood on the stage and watched from a distance as Lord Jiang stood in front of the throne, waiting for the emperor to score.

Acacia Green clasped his arms in his hands, stood beside her, staring at the palace in front of him, although he was a little unconvinced, he had to say:

"I've never cooked with wolf peaches."

"I'm also surprised, it turns out that the soup cooked by wolf peach is so delicious!" Ruan Shuang said excitedly.

Su Miao just hooked her lips and didn't speak.

Not long after, Lord Jiang came back from the main hall, holding three red envelopes sealed with fire paint in his hands, and respectfully saluted the incense table in front of the stage.

Before the end of the final round, there is no way for the contestants to open the red envelope, which means that no one knows how many points they and their opponents have scored until the total score is combined.
