Chapter 240: Difficulties

The next few dishes are still mediocre, especially after eating such delicious chicken shredded cucumbers, the people's mouths can't help but stir up, and they always feel that they have never eaten the chicken shredded cucumbers just now.

Finally it was Chi Wan's turn to cook, looking at this mediocre cold dish, the twenty judges couldn't help but have no appetite.

The shopkeepers who saw this scene all thought that this Chi Wan was too self-conscious, and the victory in this round was none other than Shopkeeper Hong. As long as Ji Wan is not the first, their purpose has been achieved.

Chi Wan stepped forward and introduced to everyone: "This dish in front of you is just an ordinary cucumber mix, but why don't you try it first and see how it tastes?" ”

The people were skeptical, and then they took a bite of chopsticks. However, just like this, everyone was still interested in it, and sighed: "The taste of this mixed cucumber is different." ”

"Yes, there is a faint salty smell and a hint of numbness, but I don't see that there are any chili peppers in it?"

The reaction of the crowd surprised the shopkeepers, and Chi Wan smiled secretly and said, "Although this is just an ordinary mixed cucumber, I have added spices and herbs to the soup. ”

"Herbs?" The crowd was in an uproar, and in everyone's image, the herbs were basically bitter and astringent, "There are even herbs in this?" ”

"Indeed, let's talk about the spices first, because there is a little mustard in it, there will be some numbness taste, and star anise is put in the fragrance. Although star anise is a spice, it is actually a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, also known as anise, which is sweet and warm, has the effect of dispelling cold and dampness, soothing the liver and warming the stomach. ”

Some people even touched their stomachs and muttered, "It seems that there is some warmth in the stomach." ”

"Hmph, listen to what others say, a bunch of nerds!" Shopkeeper Hong cursed in his heart, he didn't eat Chi Wan's dish, but he relied on his own subjective assumptions that this was mostly fake!

"Alright, let's start voting, and ask everyone to choose the one dish they think is the most delicious."

The twenty people were almost divided into two groups, one was for Hongzi chicken shredded cucumbers, and the other was for Chi Wan. Hongzi chicken shredded cucumber is better in taste, but Chi Wan's mixed cucumber is added with medicinal food, which is a very novel idea.

The two are almost comparable, and it is very difficult to decide who is better, even their votes, one moment the number of votes of the shopkeeper Hong is higher, and the number of votes of Chi Wan is higher.

is short of the last vote, and now Shopkeeper Hong has one more vote than Chi Wan, as long as this vote is cast for Shopkeeper Hong, then he will win.

Shopkeeper Hong's eyes lit up, he stared at the person who had not yet voted, and kept chanting the words in his mouth: "Vote for me, vote for me!" ”

The person who hadn't voted yet looked at the Hongzi chicken shredded cucumber, then at the mixed cucumber, and finally closed his eyes and gave his last vote to Chi Wan.

"Tie, they were tied!" Lin Nanyi's attendants have become more and more accustomed to this special "job", and even his tone of voice can't help but become excited, "I didn't expect them to tie, it's amazing!" ”

Shopkeeper Hong smiled on the surface, but in fact, his teeth were grinding and gurgling. Why did it come to a tie with that ordinary dish, the people on the scene were not the drags of the flavor building.

"Shopkeeper Hong, it's really a blessing, I didn't expect us to be a tie." Chi Wanxiao naturally, when she saw the excellent Hongzi chicken shredded cucumber, if she remembered correctly, it seemed to be a famous dish in the Manchu and Han banquets, and it was really unexpected that there was no hope in this game.

Shopkeeper Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Shopkeeper Chi, you won't be so lucky next time!" ”

"Okay, the next theme, is glory and wealth, this dish is going to be made with fish, give everyone an hour's time, start now!"

While! The big gong sounded again, and the race began again in full swing. Because this game requires fish, in order to ensure freshness, it is not put at the beginning, but just at the beginning of the game.

Crucian carp, pomfret bream, and some fish that people have never seen before, are really eye-opening. Not only that, but there are also many special dishes added to the ingredient table, such as spices from the Western Regions, artichokes from Southern Xinjiang, and even some seafood.

These ingredients can be sold for a lot of money if they are made into dishes, but now Chi Wan is unceremoniously taking them out for free for everyone to use at will, which is really atmospheric, and she has invested a lot of money.

Some chefs rarely see such a precious ingredient, and they want to try it out and show their hands. Chi Wan sent Lin Nanyi to the scene this time, and his face was not full of surprise like other cooks, and he was very calm and calm.

These ingredients are nothing at all, and he usually sees more cherished ingredients in the palace. He suddenly thought of a special fish dish that fit the theme very well, so he chose the largest and fattest sea bream, some brightly colored vegetables and a radish.

After taking the fish back, Lin Nanyi did not rush to deal with the fish, but began to carve radish. The white radish came to life under Lin Nanyi's skillful hands, and the white flowers were placed on the table like this.

"I didn't expect your carvings to be so good." Ji Wan praised him and said.

"Of course, I don't know yet," Lin Nanyi took out a large vat with some liquid in it, and then he threw the white radish flowers into it, and said, "You can see more strange ones later." ”

Ji Wan's face was full of expectation, and then Lin Nanyi began to process the fish, after he processed the whole fish, he first cut off the tail and head, and then removed the bones.

He held the rest of the fish in one hand and a knife in the other, and began to slice the fish and meat slices. A knife was juggling in his hand, and the thickness of the slices of fish was just right, and even the place where it fell was fixed.

The flesh of the fish is shaped like a petal, and the position of the body of this fish is replaced by sliced fish, and the fish reveals its most delicious side as if it were blooming its body, and the exquisite presentation is mouth-watering.

Once the fish is processed, it is steamed for a while, and then the vegetables are processed. Lin Nanyi did it very carefully, and Chi Wan on the side also watched intently, and they didn't notice that someone took this opportunity to quietly attack them.

There was a shopkeeper on the side who stared at the jar they placed aside for a long time, and always felt that it was their winning weapon after all, as long as they destroyed the contents of that jar, wouldn't they lose?

The shopkeeper whispered a few words to the person beside him, and the man quietly wandered around the field as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the tank, the man said that it was too late and that it was too fast, and shouted, "Oh, hey." Then the whole man fell to the ground, and the jar beside him shattered, and the red juice flowed to the ground, and the turnip flowers, which had been stained a faint red, fell into the splinters.

This loud bang attracted everyone's attention, Chi Wan was shocked, Lin Nanyi was very angry, and yelled: "How did you do it?" ”

The man who fell to the ground did not admit his mistake, and quibbled, "I just walked around and looked, and I didn't see a jar here." ”

"You!" Lin Nanyi was eager to go up and kill him with a knife in one hand, but Chi Wan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Forget it, maybe he was also careless." ”

Lin Nanyi had no choice but to give up, but he just couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, this was the finishing touch he carefully prepared, put the white radish flowers in his special sauce, you can dye it a very beautiful red, and become a real peony flower.

But now everything is ruined, everything else is almost ready, and this one turnip flower is left to play. But if you want to re-marinate the time is not enough, there is only less than ten minutes left in the game, what should I do?

"Why don't you try this?" Chi Wan took the dishes in her hand and handed them to Lin Nanyi, who took the dishes and said, "This is ...... Red amaranth? ”

"Look." Chi Wan kneaded the red amaranth in her hand, and her hand was quickly stained with purple juice.

That's right! Red amaranth stirs with brine to quickly flow out red juice, which can quickly color the carved radish! You can use honey, licorice, longan, and honey to scorch the flavor, and this rich peony can still be saved!

Lin Nanyi was very excited, he immediately brought a mortar and put an appropriate amount of red amaranth and salt in it, and kept pounding, and the red juice gradually seeped out.

Then he used his excellent carving to carve out a few turnip flowers and soak them in them, and the turnip flowers quickly turned from white to bright red, which was very beautiful.

By then, the fish has been steamed, and after plating, the dish is completed, and the tender white fish looms in the peony flowers.

"Alright, please start serving the food at each restaurant!" The host gave an order, and Chi Wan served the dish with the pot that was still steaming.

The shopkeeper on the side saw that Weilou had finished his dish, and his eyes almost fell out, how could this be possible, just now he clearly saw that his subordinates had knocked over their red peony flowers, where did they get these flowers again?

The plan didn't succeed, the shopkeeper was very angry, everyone looked at each other, and the next thing was the time to compete for taste, but it was obvious that in terms of taste, Chi Wan has always been superior.

The delicious fish is very tender, and there is even some half-cooked taste, which is very special, and the characteristics of sea bass are vividly and exquisitely reflected. And because it left a deep impression on the plating.

"So the winner of this round is the flavor building, let's congratulate the pool shopkeeper!"
