Chapter 346: Results
The dish of phoenix wings is definitely a delicate job, just in the process of carving the phoenix shape requires a lot of effort, Su Miao just with a left hand, can carve a phoenix in the disc so lifelike and vivid, this is not only a shocking craft, but also has to admire her solid basic skills.
As an overtime match, as the last game that must be decided, Su Miao and Tong Ran both coincidentally chose dishes with excellent shapes, no longer blindly pursuing the taste of the dishes themselves, but giving people a kind of deterrent power from the appearance, which is a kind of beauty that is enough to shock people's hearts.
Tong Ran's golden toad worship moon is unique in appearance, extraordinarily elegant, with a strong Jiangnan Junxiu style, just look at it and feel pleasing to the eye, so that people can't bear to watch it for a long time.
Su Miao's phoenix wings are much more gorgeous than his golden toad worship the moon, the phoenix as a kind of sacred bird, the body is like a mandarin duck, the wings are like a peng, the legs are like cranes, it is a symbol of auspicious birds, but also a noble bird, so when such a god is vividly carved and landed in the center of the moon wheel-like disc, it even gives people a sense of mystery and solemnity as if the fairy bird has descended, the phoenix leads the neck, spreads its wings and soars, as if it can hear the loud cry, which shows the strength of her knife work.
What's even more shocking is that she actually uses her left hand, and the phoenix wings carved with her left hand are as delicate and unique as the golden toad Baiyue carved by Tong Ran with her hands, and even surpassing.
The competition has a provisional review meeting composed of 50 interim judges and a professional review committee composed of 12 professional judges. The two judging meetings naturally have a precedence in serving, so many of them. It is impossible to serve it all in one go, and the dishes can't help but be cold, so there are strict rules for serving the dishes in this overtime, and the finished dishes are first served to the interim review committee, and then presented to the professional review committee at the end.
Such a rule is not set casually, and when the contestants serve the finished dishes to the 50 interim judges one by one, they will inevitably be tired, tired, and psychologically irritable and impatient. Under such pressure, presenting all the subsequent works to the professional judges is quite a test of the chef's skill, experience, and control over the relationship between his emotions and the dishes.
If the more you get to the end, the more you can't control your ability, mentality, and mental power, and you can't let your skills play smoothly. If you can't get the best out of your craft when you're physically and mentally exhausted, no matter how good the chef is, you'll lose points in the end.
Su Miao and Tong Ran are not novices, so they naturally understand this truth.
From sunrise to dusk. The two of them were busy on the stage all the time. One after another exquisite and delicious dishes were brought off the stage by the guys for people to taste, and after one trip, even the guys and bored spectators began to feel tired, but Tong Ran and Su Miao, who were standing on the stage, were still calm, calm, and quietly cooking the dishes in their hands. From the beginning of the game to the present, the two of them have maintained a posture as if they had just begun, whether their feet were sore or their hands were soft. None of them showed it, and to outsiders they looked like they were in good spirits. Full of vitality, without any pause, without the slightest pause, every move is like flowing water, and it has not become stiff because of too much time.
The people under the stage looked at the two intently, whether they were professional or non-professional, and they all admired it a little in their hearts. Even those who can't see what the way is can't help but sigh in their hearts, these two people have been standing on the stage for six or seven hours, standing in front of the hot stove for so long, and in such a hot summer, the tired and hot two people must have lost a lot of water in their bodies, not to mention that the craft of carving dishes is a technical work that requires a high concentration of mental power, the solidification and concentration of mental power, the heat of the external environment, and all kinds of physical exhaustion, under the destruction of so many malignant factors, The two of them can still maintain a clear mind, neat skills and a happy mood, there is no doubt, from the corners of the raised lips, it can be seen that the mood of the two must be very happy at this time, to be able to maintain a happy mood and clever skills under so much pressure, even if they are only chefs who can cook food, at this moment, people's hearts still have a sense of reverence equal to the worship of big people.
Aftertaste sat under the stage, looking at Su Miao and Tong Ran on the stage without eyelashes, although they were far apart, the atmosphere looked unusually harmonious and harmonious, a face was slightly heavy, the corners of his lips were tense, and he didn't say a word.
Of course, the audience in the audience didn't know that Su Miao and Tong Ran at this time were definitely not as happy as the audience imagined, the two of them were tired to death, and they were both types who hated sweating, especially Tong Ran. However, in the summer, even if there is an awning overhead, it is not cool, not to mention standing in front of the hearth that is always in full swing, the feeling of sweating makes Tong Ran's mood terrible, although he is trying to restrain himself, trying to use those smiles to drive away the unpleasantness in his heart, but unpleasantness is unpleasant, no matter how he pretends to be unpleasant.
Also not very pleasant is Su Miao, her hand is very painful, very painful, although her right hand is not used, but it is still very painful, followed by the pain of her left hand, and sweating, making the wound stinging and itchy.
The left hand is not to mention, only relying on one left hand to carve a phoenix with complex patterns, all day long, her wrists and fingers have reached the limit, it has been numb from pain, I can't wait to throw away the knife in my hand immediately, but she can't, the game is not over, it is she who decided to come to this game, since she is here, she can't retreat, at least in her own heart, she must end this game successfully, no matter what the result is, She has to spare no effort to play her skills, so that at least there will be no regrets, she doesn't want to use injury as an excuse, she doesn't want to use psychological discomfort as an excuse, she just wants to end this game well.
"Tsk!" She slurped. Frowning, one hand was not as convenient as two, and she wiped away the blood oozing from her accidentally cut fingertips with a handkerchief. Keep playing.
When the sunset had been coming for a long time, and the lanterns had already been lit, the last plate of phoenix wings was sent down.
Su Miao finally straightened her waist, wiped the beads of sweat from the corners of her forehead with a handkerchief, let out a long breath, looked up at the sky that had already been darkened, and there was a long-lost sense of relief in her heart.
In that moment. She seemed to suddenly understand something, what she understood made her unable to describe it in words, and in short, at this moment she felt that her mind was extremely clear. Her thoughts were very clear, and she had a feeling of pleasure that a dead knot that had been stuck in her heart for a long time was suddenly opened, and she couldn't tell what exactly opened her dead knot, but she just had this feeling. She just felt that her mood was very bright at the moment. Nothing can stop her from moving forward, nothing can make her feel lost anymore, and in this moment, she seems to grasp the path she has always been on. It has always been that road that has supported her, but at this moment she feels that she has grasped that road, she stands on the road that she has grasped, from now on she strides forward, from now on her heart is clear. She will go on with determination and keep moving forward. Forward, never retreating, she will always walk on this never-ending avenue, until one day she can no longer walk, she will also be buried on this road for a long time, if she is lucky, maybe it will become a roadbed for future generations to move forward.
Thinking of this, her mood became cheerful and bright, and her lips couldn't help but hook slightly, and she opened a smile that looked particularly moving in the summer breeze.
Tong Ran stood on the stage, he was looking at her expression, and when he saw that her face suddenly showed a touching smile after a series of changes quietly, a heart in his chest moved.
So the aftertaste of the stage and the handsome face became darker and darker, and even Chunniang and Su Yan, who were sitting next to him, felt a burst of cold air suddenly emanating from his body, and it floated over bitingly, making the two of them involuntarily shiver.
Golden Toad worships the moon VS phoenix spreads its wings!
These are definitely two exquisite dishes, just from the appearance of the shape of the people that make people can't bear to live and die chopsticks, that is, even those who have a lot of knowledge when they see these two dishes, the first thought will come to mind, that is, I am afraid that the dishes at the royal banquet are nothing more than that.
In terms of taste, these two dishes have brought their respective skills to the extreme in the contrast of the original taste of the ingredients and the matching of side dishes and main ingredients.
Regarding the true duel in terms of food, it can be said that it has nothing to do with other factors, and I am afraid that what you see is which one the person who tastes it likes the most. This is especially evident in the ad hoc judging committee, which is composed of non-professionals and relies entirely on personal preference, so in the case of the same appearance and craftsmanship of the dishes, which kind of food they like and which contestant becomes the biggest criterion for their scoring.
Of course, this is just the idea of the special judging committee.
When it comes to the evaluation of craftsmanship, it depends on the professional jury of all professionals, although after the twelve judges tasted two dishes one by one, they were speechless for a long time.
After a long time, Master Ge patted his head and said upsetly: "This is for the old man to judge whom, no matter which one is judged is the other one, then Miss Su's hand is still injured, with her left hand can make such a thing, how much skill does this have, when I was young, I may not be so hard, I don't want to let anyone lose the election!" β
"Although it is rare, the little girl's phoenix wings are still not as delicate as Tong Sishao's golden toad worshipping the moon!" After being silent for a long time, Xia Chang sighed softly.
"Hey, Old Xia, you finally don't favor that yellow-haired girl today!" Master Cheng laughed loudly.
Xia Chang coughed twice, and replied with a serious face: "When did the old man favor that little girl, the old man has always been on the matter, whoever is outstanding is who is excellent, although the little girl in this game is also very good, the old man will never deny this, and he is very proud, but in front of Tong Sishao's golden toad worshipping the moon, in the end, he still has the upper hand, most of it is a problem of hand injury, but he can make such a delicacy with one hand, the old man admires her, although the old man admits that Tong Sishao's golden toad is of the highest quality, but the old man admires the little girl even more! β
"What Xia Lao said is good! What Xia Lao said is exactly what I want to say, old man! Liu Ran, the former king of the kitchen, echoed loudly.
"There is no need to mention whether it hurts or not, since she promised to compete, she should want to get the fact that she injured her hand, relying on injuries to win sympathy and score points is the most despicable behavior in the competition!" Lin Zhang, the proprietress of Hebin Building, didn't like Su Miao from the beginning, and after listening to Xia Chang and Liu Ran's words, she snorted from her nose and said disdainfully.
Xia Chang used to respect Lin Zhang, a heroine who died and supported the family restaurant alone, but after listening to her words at this time, he began to feel disgusted because of her misinterpretation of him: said unhappily:
"What do you say about Mrs. Lin, this phoenix spreads its wings even if it is brought to the palace banquet now, but it is slightly inferior in front of Tong Sishao's golden toad worshipping the moon, if her opponent today is not Tong Sishao, she has taken the king of the kitchen in Qin'an Province, Mrs. Lin said that it is too much to win sympathy by being injured, such a skill is taken out, who will say that it is not good?"
Lin Zhangshi saw him facing him so impulsively and couldn't get off the stage, he was angry but didn't dare to attack him, so he had to pull his lips without embarrassment:
"Little woman, I didn't mean that, what is Xia Lao anxious about!"
Xia Chang snorted from his nose and ignored her again.
Lin Zhang's expression became more and more embarrassed.
Compared with the tension of the professional judging meeting, the special judging table was much more harmonious, with lively discussions and exchanging opinions with each other in groups, and a group of people who did not know each other seemed to be instantly shortened by the two dishes.
The people don't have so many bends and bends in professional judges, and their scoring criteria are very simple, vote for which one they like, and vote for whoever can shock them.
So when Mr. Jiang came out again, struck the golden gong with a golden mallet, and loudly announced that "the scoring begins", the time difference between the professional review meeting and the special review meeting that jointly raised the card was half an hour.
