Chapter 376: Shock
The appearance of cucumber shocked many people, but some people still felt that it was too simple to win the first round just because of its rare sight.
Lu Mingtao invited Shopkeeper Lin from Zuixian Mansion at the right time, "Zuixianlou will include the Jade Tower in its daily menu from tomorrow, but because the number of fresh cucumbers is limited, it can only serve twenty servings a day. ”
As soon as Shopkeeper Lin said this, the people on the field immediately boiled. This shows that this kind of out-of-season cucumber is still growing, and Drunken Immortal Lou will have the confidence to announce it.
Many people have secretly made up their minds that they must go to the Drunken Immortal Building to taste this dish that has been recognized by people such as Mrs. Su, the imperial chef and others. With the assurance of the shopkeeper Lin, people don't think that this dish is just a novelty.
The people of the other four restaurants all gritted their teeth, and the drunken immortal building was in the limelight here, which was not a good thing for them. Again and again, new dishes have appeared, and they can be widely acclaimed, which is too important for a restaurant's reputation. In the long run, the distance between the other few and the Drunken Immortal Building will only get farther and farther away.
Even if there are first-class examples in the future, a discerning person will definitely be able to see the difference.
Fortunately, this is only the first round, and it won't make others mess up.
Lu Mingtao saw that the effect caused by the first round was almost enough, and the limelight of the Drunken Immortal Building was enough, so he asked the shopkeeper Lin to go back and asked the maid to present the results of the second round.
"The second round is themed on mountain delicacies, and the five dishes are, eight treasures of the drunken fairy building, and a guinea fowl of Yipinge. The Ruyi double bamboo shoots of Zuojia Restaurant, the double pepper cloud fungus of Zhiwei Restaurant, and the pickled soup of Fumanlou. With Lu Mingtao's explanation, the maid took out the silver medals in the box representing each dish and placed them in front of the corresponding box.
"Three eight mushrooms, four guinea fowl, two Ruyi double bamboo shoots, three double pepper cloud fungus, and three pickled fresh in soup." Every dish has been recognized, and this time the Drunken Immortal Building did not take the lead again. It has made many people's hearts more balanced.
This result can also be seen that the five major restaurants are very profound. Although Yipinge won the second round, the difference is not very big in terms of results. So it didn't cause much repercussions.
The theme of the third round of the competition was fish. The fish also symbolizes the surplus every year, and there is an auspicious meaning in it. That's why most of the dishes are about fish. They are mainly whole fish. But. Because there are not many types of fish in this season, the requirements have been relaxed, as long as they are produced in water. You can make a dish presentation.
The scale is wider, and the choice of chefs is also more, which makes people have more expectations.
Fish dishes are mostly steamed and braised, so this is the case for both Ipponkaku and Chimikan. Zuojia Restaurant launched is hibiscus shrimp, Drunken Xianlou Pisces Club. And Fumanlou is the most brilliant, they took out a dish made of lobster. And in order to make the dish even better, the bright red lobster shell has also been preserved intact. It is lined next to the dish and is very eye-catching.
The results speak for themselves, and the third round was won by Fu Man Lou.
The most talked-about turn came, and the theme was meat, and there was no kind of meat, leaving it up to the chef to play.
All of them turned their attention to the Drunken Immortal Tower. During this time, the beef cuisine of Zuixianlou was in the limelight. Not only does the beef served in the restaurant self-proclaim to be first-class and premium-grade, but also tells diners which part of the beef is used in the dish.
threw the beef dishes of several restaurants that followed the trend out of several streets. Of course, not everyone is a fan of beef. Pork and mutton are also loved by everyone, and people with status are mainly mutton, and beef does not receive much attention because of its limitations.
Still, the results of the fourth round came as a shock to everyone. The beef dishes launched by Zuixian Lou are actually full tickets. When all the silver medals in the box belonging to the Drunken Immortal Building were poured out, the fifteen silver coins were too shocking.
All the people at the scene are wondering, no matter how delicious it is, fifteen pieces are too much, everyone here should know that the beef cuisine belongs to the Zuixian Building, and the others are okay, even if the owners of the four restaurants are trying to save some face for their own restaurant, they should also vote for other dishes, why this situation will come out, it is too incomprehensible.
Facts speak louder than words, Lu Mingtao asked the people from the Drunken Immortal Building to bring the prepared beef again. Because the tent has been removed, people can clearly see the movements of the master of the Drunken Immortal Building.
Two large pieces of beef were placed on the cutting board, and the master took out a sharp knife and began to cut the beef. Slices of palm-sized, evenly thick beef are placed on white porcelain plates.
The bright red beef stands out on the porcelain plate. Coupled with the marbling-like white grease that looks like artificial splicing, it already makes people swallow before it is made.
It's not the first time people have seen beef, but they haven't seen it so perfectly.
The second piece of beef was also quickly cut, attracting more people's amazement. Perfect snowflakes on top of beef.
The iron plate has already been prepared at the scene.
When the first slice of beef is placed on the iron plate at the right temperature, the sound of swishing makes people's hearts tremble, and the aroma of the beef itself when it is heated makes people swallow it even more.
Lu Mingtao stood up in a timely manner and explained, "These two pieces of premium beef are from the upper brain and eye meat of the cow respectively. There are only twenty or thirty catties on a cow, which can be described as small in quantity and high in quality. ”
Although cattle are not the main source of meat at this time, the average adult strong cattle are about seven or eight hundred catties, mainly because of improper feeding and thin body shape.
Most of the adult cattle in the forest and bamboo pasture are more than 1,000 catties, which shows that the proportion of these two parts of beef is less.
The rarer the thing, the more valuable it is. Since the introduction of beef dishes, Zuixianlou has not put these two kinds of meat in the recipe, also in order to be able to make a splash today.
After simply frying it on an iron plate three or two times, slices of beef are served on a plate and divided into pieces of meat of the right size by the master's assistant.
As soon as the knife went down, the plump juice flowed down the cut part to the porcelain plate, and in the middle of the meat slice, you could even see the red beef, which showed that the beef was not fully cooked.
"Can't people eat half-raw meat?" Many people suddenly felt resistance in their hearts. Ru Mao drank blood, it was the work of uncivilized savages, and people who had always thought of themselves as masters of the Celestial Empire had a strange look at the practices of the Drunken Immortal Tower.
"Hmph, what do you ordinary people know?" General Chang saw that the people around him criticized this practice, and said dissatisfiedly, "Only when you fry it to a doneness of 50% can you taste the deliciousness of the beef, and it is the best to eat." The guy who is a tyrannical thing. ”
Behind him, Fu Dou'er and Lin Yuewei were already staring at the plate in the maid's hand with big eyes.
"General Chang is right." Old Man Du also spoke, and the other people who had tasted it nodded one after another. Even though they had already tasted the delicacy, they couldn't help but look at the beef. Constant saliva secretion in the mouth.
If it weren't for the deep concentration, maybe like Fu Douer and Lin Yuewei, they would have been eager to pounce on and grab the plate.
The maids gave the beef to those who were willing to try it, and those who held their own identities and disdained it, they didn't let anyone see it, and they crossed over with their plates.
"Wow."
"It's delicious!"
"I see."
"It's worthy of being a drunken immortal building."
“……”
Anyone who has tasted it will praise it loudly. More people feel that tasting this beef is really worth the trip.
"Mmmm, delicious."
"It's so coarse."
Fu Douer and Lin Yuewei, as the youngest two children on the field, also received special care, and the re-cooked beef also had a share of the two of them.
In this way, there is no longer any doubt about the fourth round of competition. They all feel that it is well deserved.
"Lord Qi, it's really extraordinary." The other four owners of the restaurant bowed their hands to Mu Qingqi.
"Take, take." Although he is full of joy, he must also be humble on his face, and the other families are not weaker than his own. Mu Qingqi knew that this time it was the light of Lin Zhu.
When he looked in the direction where Lin Zhu was, his eyes swept over Fu Dou'er, and he saw that his little face, which was extremely happy because he had eaten delicious food, was like a light, shining into the heart of Prince Qi. (To be continued......)
