The three finalists, in addition to Zhao Ting, Xie Yao and Lan Sheng are all honorary chefs of Jingshi. The people watching the game began to wonder why Zhao Ting was shortlisted for the competition, and after watching the competition in the past few days, Zhao Ting is indeed very strong, and it is not luck to stand out.

And Zhao Ting herself never thought that she could come to this point, now she has no burden, she is the third place, and she can save enough money for her son for the scientific examination.

"Mother, rest." Zhao Tingyu put down the book, looked at Zhao Ting, who was studying the recipe on the side, and said. looked up at his son and closed the book, and said with a relieved face: "Mother is not tired, you can drink this porridge and then talk." As he spoke, he pushed the bowl in front of his son.

looked at his mother who worked all day, Zhao Tingyu's nose was sour, although he was a scholar, but his mother had not hesitated to sell her restaurant in order to study hard over the years. Now he is setting up a stall outside to support himself. But at the moment, I can't help myself except studying.

"The child is not filial, so that the mother suffers." Zhao Tingyu said in a low voice.

"Talking nonsense again, didn't my mother say it, as long as you study with peace of mind, you are willing to die of exhaustion for your mother. You must know that you can't be like your useless father, you have to be a man who stands up to the sky, I started the imperial examination, even my mother, who has little study, also knows, that is the way out. Zhao Ting said.

"Got it, mother." Zhao Tingyu thought for a while and looked at his mother: "Mother, promise the child that you won't work so hard in the future." ”

"I know my body." Zhao Ting said with a smile, "After tomorrow's competition, tomorrow will be the last game, that is, the last place, and my mother will also have a bonus of one hundred taels, except for the cost of your spring scientific examination, we still have a surplus." As a mother, I won't work as hard as I used to, and I will follow you to enjoy happiness in the future. ”

Zhao Tingyu knew that this was just to comfort himself. She still likes to cook, although she didn't see her grandfather when she was young, but she has also heard that her mother has been cooking with her grandfather since she was a child, this is one of her favorite things, when there is no accident at home, her mother is happiest when she cooks in the kitchen, otherwise she will not secretly cry every night after selling the restaurant.

Zhao Tingyu didn't say anything, nodded, and secretly said that he must work hard, not for himself, but for his mother. In this way, he can live up to his mother's expectations. Looking at the sweetness her son drank, Zhao Ting's face was full of relief, and she was also thinking that she must play well tomorrow and not slack off.

The next day, the West Market, which used to be bustling, was not crowded on the street today, and many shops were closed. People are rushing to today's arena, this is the last day of the final, and people are still looking forward to today's game, after all, they can see dishes that are not usually seen. Some can't get in, so they went into the teahouse around the venue to watch, although some can't see clearly from a distance, but there is a special person in the teahouse from the arena to send out a comment atlas, but also to solve the cravings.

Li Xiandao saw that the three people in the audience were ready, so he said: "Everyone, today is the final, the judges have decided, and they are free to play today, but they need to come up with their own dishes, do you have any objections?" ”

The three of them shook their heads, although they were still thinking about today's topic, but when they heard that they had their own play, the three of them were still a little difficult to choose, and there were a lot of specialty dishes, but how to make tricks and choose the right theme was the key, otherwise if you did it casually, you would definitely not be able to win the game.

Li Xiandao saw that the three of them had no objections, nodded, walked to the middle of the field and said loudly: "Today's competition is not limited to the subject matter, there is no time limit, and now I announce that the final of the first Beijing Chef God Competition will start now!" ”

The three of them walked to the ingredient area and began to choose dishes, only to see that Lan Sheng seemed to have a plan, and quickly picked up meat foods such as chickens, ducks and pork ribs, Huaiyin Hou frowned and looked at Kang Tong: "This person has taken so much meat, the taste is messy, how can he make a good dish." ”

The current Da Zhou cuisine is still relatively simple, far less varied than Lin Yuan's previous life, and stir-fried dishes have only appeared for five or six years, and now they are mostly stewed.

Kang Tong shook his head and said: "It depends on how he handles it, I have never seen any dish that needs so much meat, I think he has his own plans, Lan Sheng has been famous for a long time, I don't think he will make such a low-level mistake." ”

didn't wait too long, Xie Yao's side also started to move, only to see that he first picked the pork and lettuce, and then walked towards the place where the fish and shrimp were placed. Picked a few crabs and some river prawns. Kang Tong frowned, how could it be similar to Lan Sheng's approach, and the ingredients selected were a little messy.

Seeing that Xie Yao actually chose the crab, Lin Yuan looked at Li Qingqian and asked, "Shopkeeper Li has made a lot of money, and the shrimp and crab found there?" Lin Yuan was a little curious, it was winter now.

"It was sent by Zhang Yao, and the businessman will always have some way." After listening to Li Qingqian's words, Lin Yuan thought that he would have to ask Zhang Yao how he did it in a few days.

"What are you waiting for?" Seeing that Zhao Ting in the field was still hesitating, Li Xiandao was a little puzzled. The other two had already chosen the ingredients, but Zhao Ting was still motionless.

Zhao Ting was indeed a little hesitant, looking at the ingredients selected by the other two, Zhao Ting gritted her teeth and walked towards Yuxian. Looking at the various fish in the tank, he rolled up his sleeves and reached out to grab it, and caught a small fish in an instant, which was as long as Zhao Ting's arm. The audience in the audience looked at Zhao Ting, a weak woman, with so much strength, which caused a burst of exclamations, the fish is an adult man is a little difficult to grasp with one hand, but Zhao Ting is so easy.

"Steady and ruthless, good vision, a good fish." Wu Tian praised. Xu is Zhao Ting's movement was too loud, and everyone cheered when they saw this scene, which made Zhao Ting blush a little, and hurriedly returned to his stove to start cooking.

Lan Sheng put the washed old hen and the sliced ham and pork ribs into the boiling water, and after removing the blood and impurities, put them into the soup pot together with the soaked dried scallops. After the fire boiled, turn to low heat and simmer slowly, Kang Tong knew that there was no time limit today, and Lan Sheng was afraid that what he made was a slow dish.

Turning his head to look at Xie Yao, he saw that he had just finished processing the pork and started to process the shrimp and crabs. The dish chosen by these two people today seems to be a new dish, and Kang Tong has some expectations. At this time, I heard Wu Tian on the side say: "It's a little interesting, this Zhao Ting's technique seems to have been seen somewhere." ”

Looking at Zhao Ting's position, Kang Tong frowned slightly, Zhao Ting's handling of fish is indeed not very common, but he saw that Zhao Ting first drew a knife on the tail of the fish, patted the fish body with the blade, and slowly pulled out a line.

"I'm afraid it's the descendant of Zhao Luo's lineage." Wu Tian looked at Kang Tong and asked, "What did Master Kang say about Zhao Luo from the Zhili Mansion?" ”

"It should be him, if you talk about the way to deal with fish, only Zhao Luo will do this." Kang Tong looked at Zhao Ting and said.

"And how do you know?" Wu Tian was curious, Zhao Luo is a famous chef in Zhili, he has cooked for many high-ranking officials, and making fish is a must, all because he has mastered how to make fish to get fishy.

"Fifteen years ago, I played against him, and he lost, so he handed it over to me." Kang Tong said lightly.

Time flies, look at the sky, time has passed a lot. Xie Yao had already entered the final process, placing the meatballs in the Xiao Gu, signaling that the maid had finished herself.

Looking at the dishes presented, Kang Tong picked up the chopsticks and gently clamped them and divided them into a small piece, but the whole meatball did not spread out, and it looked very tight. Taste it in your mouth, the meat is soft and soft, fat but not greasy. The crab roe flavor does not conflict with pork, but sublimates the taste. The three of them nodded with satisfaction, this dish is good.

Because it was a three-course dish that was scored together, Xie Yao was still a little nervous, this dish was the first time he had made it, and he hoped to get a good ranking, and it was not in vain that he went to great lengths to create this dish.

At this time, Zhao Ting's side also came to an end, put the dishes on the plate, and motioned for the maid to serve them. The three of them looked at the golden fish meat on the plate, Huaiyin Hou scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, and then his eyes widened, Wu Tian saw this, and also sent the fish meat into his mouth, and he had some doubts in his heart, this taste is not right.

"Is it crab roe flavor?" Kang Tong tasted it and looked at the two, seeing that the two nodded, Kang Tong drank saliva and rinsed his mouth, and scooped a spoonful again, but it still smelled of crab roe.

"Did you see her using crabs?" Kang Tong was puzzled.

"No, she only uses fish for her main ingredient." Huaiyin Hou said.

"It's a bad taste, that's right, she brought out the crab roe flavor." Wu Tian said with emotion.

"It's a pity, but it's still not as good as the real crab roe under the fine taste, and it's better than ingenuity." Kang Tong said, "It's also a must, and it didn't give Zhao Luo a vein that he fell into prestige." Wu Tian nodded.

"I don't know how Lan Sheng's dish is, I'm looking forward to it even more now." Wu Tian said with a smile.

looked at Lan Sheng in the field, and saw that he was holding the cabbage with chopsticks and pouring the soup over and over again. When the choy sum is cooked, place the choy sum at the bottom of the bowl and bring another pot of stock to a boil and scoop it into the bowl. Seeing the maid bring the prepared dish, Wu Tian rubbed his hands and was about to do it, but after the maid opened the lid, his hand froze in mid-air.

"Stewed for so long, what about the soup?" Wu Tian wondered.

Kang Tong sniffed his nose, his eyes lit up, this white as water is the soup. Scooped some with a spoon and tasted it in his mouth, Kang Tong nodded, the hot taste was not messy, but fresh and elegant, and the fragrance was strong.

"It's fragrant and refreshing, and it's really a good soup." Wu Tian also tasted it at this time and praised it.

Kang Tong and the others glanced at each other, the level of the three of them today is not wrong, it is rare that the three of them have new dishes, Wu Tian looked at the two and said: "I mean Lan Sheng is the first." ”

"I also agree that the dishes made by Lan Sheng are much higher than the other two in terms of color, flavor and innovation." Huaiyin Hou said.

Kang Tong nodded, there is no doubt that Lansheng won the championship, but it is the other two who are difficult, and he is still optimistic about Zhao Ting. "As for Zhao Ting, it's worse after all, but there is not a lot of space in the back." Wu Tian said.

"But she is competing alone, and there is no one behind her." Kang Tong said.

"So if you want him to calm down so that he can improve in the future, let's settle for third place." Huaiyin Hou said, Kang Tong thought about it, so he had to nod, although Zhao Ting said that it was good, it was still worse than Xie Yao, but it was not too difficult to catch up. The three of them handed over the negotiated ranking to Li Xiandao.

Looking at the ranking in his hand, Li Xiandao did not delay, and said loudly: "This competition has ended successfully, and the rankings are announced below, the first place is the boiling water cabbage made by Master Lansheng of the West Sichuan Chamber of Commerce, the second place is the crab roe lion head of Master Lansheng, the famous chef of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hall, and the third place is the fried crab of Master Zhao Ting." ”

Hearing the result, Xie Yao and Lan Sheng arched their hands, the two already knew each other, Zhao Ting nodded and smiled at the two of them when she saw this, but she was a little disappointed in her heart, although she didn't care about the ranking, but after all, she still lost, but fortunately, there was still a bonus. Holding the heavy tray, Zhao Ting saw her hopeful future.

"This Zhao Ting is not in any restaurant at the moment, and I am afraid that after today, she will become a fragrant bait." Wang Tao sighed.

"What? Do you remember that the king lacks a cook? Hao Yi said with a smile.

"This person has been decided, and others are afraid that they will not be able to do it." Zhang Yao said.

"Who decided?" Wang Tao looked at Zhang Yao, but saw him pointing at Li Xiandao. I know in my heart, if Luoxian Lou wants to expand, there must be a famous chef in charge, one Li Qingqian is obviously not enough, and now Zhao Ting's reputation must be the first choice, and there are a few people in this capital who can rob the person behind Li Xiandao.

"It seems that I will be going to Luoxian Tower often in the future." Hao Yi said with a smile.

The first competition ended, and it seems to outsiders that this time Luoxianlou can be said to have gained fame and fortune, but in Lin Yuan's eyes, there are still many flaws, the main reason is that things started in a hurry, but after there is a precedent, he doesn't have to worry too much. This game will be gradually improved in the future, and bringing the palace in is also for the sake of the future.
