Chapter Eighty-Nine: Minghua Chapter The first level of the competition
"Hemp... Sauce? ”
There was a commotion and a lot of discussion among the chefs below.
"Could it be that the test topic of this year's food conference is different from the past, and you have to test hot pot dipping sauce?"
I don't know which corner replied: "But there is a huge difference between the north and the south of the hot pot dipping sauce, I don't know where the dipping sauce is being tested?" ”
Xiao Mu and Bai Shijie looked at each other below, silently listening to the surrounding discussions.
Before long, Shunhua on the stage bowed slightly, and the boy behind him generously lifted the mahjong table out.
The chefs watched in amazement as the boy dumped the mahjong on the mahjong table, making a dripping sound.
Xiao Mu blurted out in amazement: "Is it a real mahjong?"
Aren't they here to compete in cooking?
Is it necessary to rub two plates of mahjong before boiling the oil?
Shunhua raised his eyebrows proudly and said loudly: "You are not mistaken, the first level of this competition is determined by mahjong, this is not an ordinary mahjong deck, a full hundred and fifty-two cards, each of which is engraved with a different ingredient." ”
"Wait a minute, the topic of the first level will be selected by the judge, you need to cook three different dishes according to the ingredients, and hand them over to three different judges to taste, and the three of them can pass before they can advance to the next level."
Shunhua took a few steps back and gave up his position to He Xianshi.
He Xianshi Zhang Mo coughed and raised his voice: "The first level of the competition is the water swim, in other words, except for the ingredients provided by the conference, any river fresh and sea mistakes cannot be used, and the violators will be disqualified." ”
The boys carried out a large incense burner with a thick, round incense stick.
Hearing this, everyone stared at He Xianshi with bated breath, waiting for him to draw out the topic of the first level.
I saw He Xianshi reach out and pick up a card, flipped it vigorously, and shouted: "Touch!"
At that time, the scene was so embarrassing, and the chef at the bottom was desperately holding back a smile, for fear of ruining the serious atmosphere of the competition.
"Did you win the lottery?" Shunhua reminded in a low voice.
He Xianshi was stunned, put away his embarrassed little expression that turned purple, and said: "The topic of this level is - mysis shrimp, you each need to make three dishes with a mystic shrimp in half an hour, this food conference does not provide additional ingredients, please bring your own." ”
How do you make three dishes with one mystic shrimp?
The chefs were dumbfounded, in the south, mystic shrimp is also called hemp shrimp, a medium-sized hemp shrimp is at most the size of a tail finger.
Make a three-course dish with a shrimp the size of a tail finger?
It's not enough to feed the rats.
One of the chefs looked at his gong-sized pot and silently took out a spoon.
The chef with a violent temper even rushed up the steps directly and scolded Shunhua.
"Is the Moon Villa empty? I can't get a few shrimps, I don't have any money to ask us to borrow them, find a stinky boy who has not dried up to be a judge, to insult people, and return a shrimp with three dishes, I'm bah! ”
Different from the panic of He Xianshi, the white-eyed judge took a comfortable puff of hookah, the matter of the faction is not her own business, Zi Meiniang looked at her bandaged jade hand distressedly, raised her eyes to look at the noisy chefs, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and sat and waited to watch a good show.
I saw that Shunhua strode forward, stopped in front of the steps, held high the drumsticks, and vigorously beat the gongs and drums to calm down the criticism.
Those clear and clear eyes looked directly at the questioning gaze below without fear, and said solemnly:
"So, you're telling me, you can't do it? If a chef who just stays in the back kitchen and uses the ingredients prepared in advance to make dishes, he is the first chef in the world, but if the ingredients are insufficient, he will not be able to display his cooking skills and turn decay into a magical chef, which can only prove that he is nothing more than that. ”
Shunhua's agitation worked, and her words aroused the fighting spirit of the chefs, who retorted loudly: "Who said it can't be done, you wait and serve it to you right away." ”
"You wait.."
Shunhua nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”
The owner looked at Shunhua's tone in surprise, and his eyes showed half appreciation.
If you are so calm and calm at a young age, you will become a great tool in the future.
The sound of the gong shook the sky, the incense had already been ignited, and the food conference was in full swing, in just half an hour, because it was so noisy, the time was much less.
There are no other ingredients for this food conference, and the participating chefs can only run around looking for ingredients, they are like wild horses on the loose, foraging lions, pushing away other chefs with their teeth and claws, and rushing towards the market.
People in the city have gone to see the excitement, and in the past few days, there are only a few uncles and aunts selling vegetables in the market.
This group of 'wolf-like' chefs stared at the fruits and vegetables in the market, as if they were looking at the last water source in the desert.
A group of them rushed over, put down the money, and picked up their whole basket of vegetables, leaving a few uncles and aunts standing in the wind messily with the money.
"What's going on today, is there going to be a famine in the city?" The old god was talking on the ground.
"Lao Yang, are you starting to stock grain?" The aunt asked suspiciously.
The uncle was wondering, Xiao Mu and Bai Shijie came to them panting, looked at the empty stall, and sighed loudly.
"It's all your fault, Xiaomu, what do you mean to take a shortcut, it's good, we're the last to arrive."
Bai Shijie pushed Xiaomu.
"I don't blame me, who let the city cultivate the Tao every day, there used to be a shortcut over there, who knew that it was blocked. It's so bad that we have to go around again, and go around in vain. ”
Suddenly, Xiao Mu looked at the uncle and aunt, and raised a sly smile.
"I don't know, grandpas and aunts, do you still have chickens, ducks, fish, meat, vegetables and fruits at home?"
"White noodles are fine." White Tenth Street added.
The uncle and aunt looked at each other and replied: "It's not impossible to sell it to you, the price has doubled." ”
"Okay!"
Bai Shijie proudly took out the silver.
At this time, everyone ran out to find ingredients, and only a few people were left on the stove.
He Juan stretched his neck, looked left and right, anxious.
"Nephew, can you do this? If in the end, few people can complete it, won't it be a waste of work? ”
Shunhua sat in his position, continued to enjoy the mung bean cake in his hand, and looked at the stands slowly.
"He Jushi, you have to have confidence in the chefs of Minghua Kingdom, their strength is not as weak as you think."
If they are all so weak, can the murderer use them to buy fake tokens and pay for the trial?
"But..."He Juan was still a little hesitant.
She stood up, pointed to the petite Gu Nanan in the audience and said, "Isn't there anyone else who has done it?" Everyone is almost out of the pot. ”
"Really?"
He Juan turned his head to look, and the little chef had cooked a pot of soup, and was about to put a bare chicken into the pot to boil, with a very serious expression.
He Juan shook his head.
"Is it time to cook chicken soup for three dishes with such a lot of effort?"
Seeing that he was so anxious, the Baimei judge couldn't help but joke: "You are so anxious, I don't know, I thought your son was here." ”
He Juan Shi turned his head and glared at Bai Mei Ju Shi.
"Dead white eyebrows, what nonsense are you talking about, I'm just anxious for the cooks."
The owner smiled and said indifferently: "It's okay to be anxious, but you can't eat hot tofu if you're anxious, so it's better to sit down slowly, drink tea like a virtuous nephew, eat a mung bean cake, and wait leisurely." ”
He looked left and right and asked, "But why don't you see another little brother today?" ”
Hearing this, Zi Meiniang and Shun Hua paused at the same time.
Zi Meiniang was afraid that if we met today, last night's incident would be mentioned.
When the time comes, she will dig three feet into the ground and bury herself, and this face still can't get by, and it is best that the little white face will not appear before the end of the food conference.
Shunhua shook her head, because she didn't know where Fu Mujin had gone.
She didn't do anything excessive, but she just hugged him and slept for a while.
Why is she said to be cold, where is she cold?
Inexplicably, he said that he wanted to help her, but he still avoided her behind his back, which meant a few things.
"A man's big husband is stingy."
She muttered in a low voice, and Bai Mei stopped judging the matter, "Stinky boy, how can you speak?" Why do you even scold yourself? Did you quarrel with others and take your popularity away? ”
"What's my fault?" She muttered.
Fu Mujin hid in the osmanthus tree, looked at Shunhua's figure looking around intently, and pursed his lips dissatisfied.
Half an hour later, the last bit of ash on the long incense burner was about to fall, and the gong was struck again.
The little doorman took the list of 'endless' and read in a milky voice: "First, cow..."
Suddenly, the little head turned, rushed to the owner's side, knelt on his knees, and asked in a low voice: "How do you pronounce this word?" ”
The owner raised his eyes and looked at it, and replied casually: "Qu, Niu Ququ." ”
The little doorman nodded, and read half-knowingly: "First, cow cricket." ”
“......”
Niu Ququ himself presented three dishes with an embarrassed face, and corrected: "Don't read crickets, read 'ditch', Qu Qu." ”
The little doorman nodded suddenly and repeated seriously: "Qu Qu, remember." ”
When you look at it, the three dishes are simply amazing!
"Stewed abalone with red ginseng, Buddha jumping over the wall, nine wings in the sky."
The white-eyed judge glanced at him suspiciously, isn't this the topic they were supposed to take today?
Zi Meiniang blinked, stroked her hair, and asked in a coquettish voice, "Where are your shrimps?" ”
Niu Ququ returned seriously: "Back to the trial, the villain first boiled the soup with the shrimp body, made the Tianjiu wings, and then fried the red oil with the shrimp head, made the red ginseng stewed abalone, and finally fished out the shrimp body to make the Buddha jump over the wall." ”
Shunhua picked up the big abalone in the Buddha jumping over the wall with a chopstick, "The taste is rich, and the abalone is very tough, it is worthy of being a three-headed abalone, delicious, just half an hour, it can be simmered like this, and it has taken a lot of effort." ”
Niu Ququ heard that there was a play.
Hurriedly lowered his head humbly: "After the prize, before simmering, the abalone is steamed first, and then the small holes are pierced with a long needle, so that when it is boiling, it can taste faster." ”
After Shunhua had a full meal, he hurriedly put down his chopsticks and changed his words.
"It's a pity that you're disqualified."
"What?"
Niu Qu was blind, thinking that he had misheard.
"Fang Cai He has already said that the first level, swimming in the water, except for a mystic shrimp assigned to you by the Moon Villa, no river fresh or sea mistake can be used, haven't you heard?"
"Well, I didn't understand it at the time......"
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Niu Ququ's surroundings were quiet, as if only he was left.
"Please." When the little doorman raised his hand and asked him to go down, Niu Ququ had not yet come back to his senses.
The little doorman bent down slightly, looking sideways at his bowed face, "Guest?"
"I'm sorry, can you give me another chance to cook again next horse, this is the third time I've participated, if I lose, I won't have a chance again, please..."
Niu Ququ knelt in front of Shunhua and pleaded bitterly.
She looked at Niu Ququ who was kneeling and crying bitterly in a dilemma, and turned her head to look at the judges, who actually turned their heads away as if they were ignoring them, and silently leaned on their chairs, none of their business, hanging high?
This gang of old-timers actually let her a new junior deal with this kind of thing, like words?
