"The emperor has arrived!" Qian Dehai's voice came from the palace due south. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The crowd knelt down like the undulating waves of the sea, and from the palace to the square, a large area of black pressure was pressed to its knees.

Liang Shuo, dressed in a dragon gon, walked to the high throne and sat down slowly. He was not very energetic, and his mood was not high, he sat down on the throne, swept around, and saw that there was a competition platform in the square, and recalled that the three people were kneeling under the platform, and then he remembered that a little smile appeared on his face, and said to Qian Dehai:

"I almost forgot that there was another Chef Contest today."

"Yes, today is the finals of Miss Su, Sangongzi, and Tong Ran of the Tong family, with two wins in three games, and the two winners will enter the final and compete for the title of 'King of Chefs'." Qian Dehai held the dust in his hand and said with a smile.

Liang Shuo smiled: "If the two of them lose to the Su family girl, it will be a shame." If Ah Wei loses, just tell him to stop doing it and go home to help his father. ”

Qian Dehai smiled heavily.

The three finals of the King Chef Competition officially began.

Lord Jiang came to invite the theme of the competition, Liang Shuo listened, was stunned for a moment, thought for a long time, and said to Qian Dehai:

"Didn't the south pay tribute to a lot of lotus root a while ago, take it out and cook for them, I haven't eaten lotus root for a long time."

Master Jiang and Qian Dehai responded together.

On the stage in the center of the square, Su Miao, Huiwei, and Tong Ran had already boarded their respective stages, and the viewing area under the stage was also full. Su Chan, Chun Niang, and Su Yan held the banner of "Su Miao will win" high, and Su Xian pinned her head, pretending not to know them.

Acacia Green clasped his hands to his chest and said to Su Miao with a look of disgust:

"Why don't you feel ashamed to let them put that one down and hold it all the time?"

Su Miao glanced at the banner, her face was full of satisfaction, and she said with a smile:

"Isn't it nice to hold it all the time, so that outsiders can see as if I'm popular."

Acacia Green looked at her with even more disgust.

"Sister Miao, even if this is the final with the third son, you must win." Ruan Shuang had a serious expression and said seriously, "It's better to say that it is precisely because of the final with Hui Sangongzi that you have to win, Sister Miao, you must win, you can't think that he is your fiancé at this time!" She was very worried that Su Miao would release water because her opponent was aftertaste, and this girl completely ignored Tong Ran on the right stage and only focused on the left stage.

"No, no." Su Miao smiled and waved her hand, "I'm here to win the game, the marriage contract is a marriage contract, and the bonus is a bonus, two different things." I even wore a battle suit today! As she spoke, she untied the black cloak that had wrapped around her outside, revealing the bright red dress she was wearing.

The lightweight dress with narrow sleeves and straight legs, pure red, pure red, looks very festive in the cold early winter. There is no half of the pattern on the dazzling red skirt, and it is bright red from top to bottom. As soon as this dress was revealed, Su Miao immediately became the most eye-catching person in the audience, even Liang Shuo noticed her, looked at it from a distance for a while, and said to Qian Dehai:

"How did this girl make herself look like the bullseye on an arrow target?"

Qian Dehai smiled wryly: "Miss Su probably wants to get good luck for the game." ”

Ruan Shuang stared at Su Miao directly, stared at it for a long time, tilted his head and said:

"Sister Miao, you can marry directly if you wear a phoenix crown!"

"This is not a wedding dress, this is my winning uniform." Su Miao said with a serious face, "Wear red in the final, I will have good luck." ”

"You also wore red when you were in Suzhou, and in the end you didn't lose to Tong Ran." Acacia Green snorted from his nose and said.

Acacia Green mentioned something that made Su Miao feel uncomfortable, flicked his eyes, and looked at Tong Ran on the right side of the competition platform suspiciously, Tong Ran was shaking the folding fan to look her big red dress up and down, looked at it for a long time, and pursed her lips, as if she was very disgusted with her taste.

"This battle is a battle of shame!" Su Miao accentuated her tone and said word by word.

"It turns out that you also have a sense of victory, I thought you were just cooking to be happy." Acacia Green said slowly to Su Miao in a mocking tone.

"If it were someone else, it would be fine, but these two people," Su Miao touched her chin, glanced at the stage on the left and right, and said with a flat mouth, "They obviously don't devote themselves to the King of Chef Competition, but they can come here, which makes me a little unhappy, although only a little." Tong Ran can be put aside first, Xiao Weiwei will be brought back by me in the future, and before I bring it back, I will have a good match with him. ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Aftertaste, who was snickering at her red dress, he was laughing at her, and Su Miao's face darkened.

"It's serious, it's just for the sake of loving each other, it's disgusting to death!" Acacia Green rolled her eyes, disgusted with the authenticity.

"Miss Xiang, you have to remember that you are my assistant today, this is the first time you have stepped on the stage of the final of the King Chef Competition, give full play to your strength, don't hold me back." Su Miao looked at her with a smile, and her tone was light when she warned her.

Acacia Green glanced at her, made a tense face, turned around, walked to the cooking table of the assistant cook, and opened the knife box he was carrying, and inside were two rows of silver glittering cooking knives. She picked one up, wiped it with a soft cloth, and gently scratched the soft cloth with the blade, and the soft cloth immediately split into two pieces, which showed the sharpness of the blade.

Two eunuchs carried a basket of fresh lotus root onto the stage.

Ruan Shuang leaned over to look at it and couldn't help but exclaim:

"What a big lotus root!"

In the first round of the three-in-two competition, lotus root is used as the main ingredient, and the time limit is two hours, and there is no limit to the types of dishes, accessories and spices.

Su Miao held the thick lotus root and looked up at the sun in the sky. Although it is winter, the sun is still very bright today, although the cold temperature makes people feel the temperature of the sun, but in the blue sky, the almost white light released by the sun is the most dazzling. Su Miao glanced at the noisy palace again, where singing and dancing were leveling, staggered, and very lively. Basically, no one watched their game process, although the palace game sounds powerful and glorious, but in fact, this game is completely an accessory to the National Day, one of the celebrations, and it is not so important, only the industry insiders and the participants themselves will pay more attention to the competition process, and the rest of the people at most just want to see the results and have fun.

"The sun is so good today!" Su Miao put up a pergola, looked at the sun in the sky, and said.

"It's a game, what does the game have to do with the Suns?" Acacia Green clasped his hands to his chest and said impatiently, "Hurry up and decide what you want to do, don't let me stand still!" ”

"You should guess what your opponent is going to do, and then think about what we're going to do based on that." Ms. Ruan said she felt it was safer.

Su Miao poked the lotus root in her hand and said casually:

"Tong Ran, I don't know, the aftertaste must be osmanthus glutinous rice lotus."

"How do you know?" Acacia Green Fox asked suspiciously.

"Because I love to eat the osmanthus glutinous rice lotus he made the most." Su Miao pointed to the tip of her nose and replied.

Acacia Green and Ruan Shuang stared at her directly, the expressions of the two of them at this time were difficult to describe, in short, they were a little unhappy.

"Let's get started!" Su Miao clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Everyone got up so early today, although it's only noon, but the strength is probably running out, let's make something delicious and spiritual!" She turned, walked over to the counter, and opened her knife case.

"The person who gets up late is too embarrassed to say that." Acacia Green stared at her back, pursed her lips, and said.

Reminiscing about the dishes selected in this round of the competition is indeed the osmanthus glutinous rice lotus that Su Miao said, he has always been able to make the dish of osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, and he didn't learn it after knowing Su Miao, originally he didn't think there was anything special about this dish, but since this dish became Su Miao's favorite dish, he began to feel that it was a little fun to make this dish. Therefore, after seeing the fresh lotus root today, his first reaction was to make osmanthus glutinous rice root, and making this dish can calm his heart.

Osmanthus glutinous rice root is a dish with strict requirements for the selection of lotus root, and the lotus root with a complete lotus root body at both ends should be used to make it, so as to ensure that there is more glutinous rice poured into the lotus root hole, and the glutinous rice root will taste more fragrant and glutinous.

Wash the lotus root, cut off the lotus root knot at one end, expose the lotus root hole, wash off the sediment in the lotus root hole, pour the glutinous rice that is washed and drained from the cut of the lotus root, stuff it tightly with bamboo chopsticks, and then buckle the previously cut lotus root knot at the cutting place, close the lotus root again, and tie it tightly with a bamboo stick.

Take a casserole, put in the filled glutinous rice root, and then pour in water, so that the water is submerged in the lotus root. Put the casserole pot on a high fire and boil, then turn to low heat and cook slowly, and when the glutinous rice lotus root is cooked to five maturity, add a small amount of alkali to the water. This alkali is made by soaking the plant ash in water and boiling it in a pot, and the glutinous rice lotus root with alkali will be more sweet and glutinous after boiling.

Boil the glutinous rice lotus root until it is light red, take it out and let it cool, use a button bowl, and spread a piece of lard fat in the bowl.

Pork net oil is the mesentery of pigs, which is the reticulated fat formed by the belly of pigs, which is a special spice in the dishes of Yueliang Kingdom. Compared with vegetable oil, animal fat has a special fragrance that cannot be replaced, which can promote human appetite. Unlike lard, although lard contains animal fat, it is not as greasy as lard. It's more of a spice than a grease, with a rich fragrance. It is not only different from the freshness of plant spices, but also different from the heaviness of animal fat, in between, it can be accepted by more people, and the mellow but not thick fragrance is very attractive.

Peel off the skin of the glutinous rice lotus root boiled to a light red color, remove the parts at both ends, cut it into round slices, and put it on the pork net fat in the buckle bowl. Put in white sugar, sweet osmanthus, and honey in turn, and then cover the sugar lotus root with a thin layer of net oil, and steam it in a steamer until the sugar is completely melted. At this time, take out the osmanthus glutinous rice root, remove the net oil residue and osmanthus residue, turn the glutinous rice root in the buckle bowl to the plate, and sprinkle a layer of osmanthus sauce.

Although the name is Osmanthus Glutinous Rice Root, it sounds like a sweet dish, and it seems that it should be more liked by girls, but in fact, because of the use of lard net fat, a little bit of the strong fragrance of meat oil penetrates into the glutinous glutinous rice lotus, which is not greasy, not heavy, but mellow and fragrant, so that the unique fresh and crispy of the lotus root has a rich flavor that will make people fall instantly when you bite into it.

The thickness of the glutinous rice lotus root slices is just right, and the action is also very neat when slicing, thin enough and fast enough, and a knife is a knife. The lotus root slices are thin and evenly thick, and the surface is smooth. The amount of glutinous rice stuffed in the lotus root hole is just right, neither too much, stealing the limelight of the lotus root itself, nor is it scarce, reducing the sense of existence. The soft and glutinous sweetness of glutinous rice is used to complement the crisp sweetness of the lotus root, and the two parties should be a complementary relationship, and there is no distinction between primary and secondary. The sweetness and delicacy of glutinous rice and the crispness and freshness of lotus root are harmonized with each other, complementing each other and blending with each other, and together the sweetness of melted cane sugar and osmanthus sauce that has penetrated into the texture. Those who taste it will never feel too sweet, on the contrary, it is very fresh, very clear and very refreshing. When the crispiness remaining between the lips and teeth and the sweet taste deep into the taste buds are completely integrated, people actually have a feeling that everything in front of them has suddenly become clean, and the sunlight outside the hall today, although they can't feel the blazing temperature, but the white and almost transparent light makes people's hearts feel very calm.

Liang Shuo put down his chopsticks and raised his eyebrows:

"It seems that the four years in Fengzhou have not been in vain, the craftsmanship has grown a lot, the people have softened a lot, and the anger has become less."

He smiled, glanced at the aftertaste of standing on the stage in the center of the square, and said:

"With a girl I like, it's really different."

The sweetness of glutinous rice root depends on boiling the soup little by little with a simmer, the sweetness is intentional or unintentional, and it cannot cover up the fragrance of the lotus root itself, but also let its own sweetness radiate, and the mood of "beloved" is probably the same as boiling lotus root.

Liang Shuo's heart was a little more emotional, and there was still a trace of innocence in his heart, such a young man was also blessed, he laughed.

"Your Majesty, this is the pearl lotus made by Tong Ran's son." Qian Dehai took the tray from the eunuch who served the food and presented it with a smile.

Liang Shuo glanced at the plate, a plate of pearl balls, decorated with emerald green onions, and the glutinous rice just out of the cage exuded a fresh fragrance, steaming hot, making people's hearts feel indescribably comfortable.

The method of pearl lotus root is very simple, add the stirred meat filling to the lotus root chopped into the lotus root, knead it into balls, roll a layer of soaked and drained glutinous rice, put it in a steamer, steam it on boiling water over high heat, and finally sprinkle it with verdant green onions.

However, the simpler the dish, the more the chef's skill is tested.

Liang Shuo picked up chopsticks, took a pill and took a bite.

The outermost layer of glutinous rice has a strong taste, not a rough touch deliberately made, but the taste of glutinous rice is very obvious in this pearl lotus circle, the smooth and soft glutinous rice grains rub the tip of the tongue, the graininess is very strong, but it is not abrupt, and there is no sense of disobedience, on the contrary, it is very natural, it rolls naturally between the lips and teeth, making a quite comfortable transition, followed by the rich and juicy meat filling inside, and the two work together to create a rather impactful taste. Energetic and layered, this is a dish that makes people feel the edges and corners, which are not in the texture or taste, but in the feeling, and the intense and intense taste is unforgettable.
