Chapter 241: Winning the Championship
The next few competitions were normal, although there were still people who wanted to make small moves against Chi Wan again and again, but after the radish flower was deliberately destroyed just now, she raised her vigilance, making it difficult for those people to succeed.
In terms of cooking competition, Chi Wan is not smooth sailing, and there are two other restaurants on a par with her. Chi Wan has learned about the background of the other party's restaurant, one is a 50-year-old restaurant, and the taste is pure and popular; The shopkeeper of the other family seems to have come from the Central Plains, and he is indeed more excellent at making game.
Their votes were three to two to two, and now it was the final round, and the last theme was unanimously decided by everyone and handed over to the people on the scene to take.
Everyone had a heated discussion, and finally sent a representative to say: "In my memory, there is always a soup that can remind me of my hometown, why don't you chefs make a lovesick soup, whoever has the best soup and can remind us of my hometown the most, will win." ”
This theme is also unexpected, and after drinking it, you can think back to your hometown. Chi Wan once heard that there is a palace dish called acacia soup, which is said to have a light and delicious aftertaste, and even some people can cry when they drink it, such delicious food is unimaginable.
Of course, it is not easy to make such an acacia soup, and there are only such rumors in history that no specific ingredients are recorded, so even Chi Wan is confused.
"Does Lin Gongzi have any ideas?" Chi Wan pinned her hopes on Lin Nanyi.
Lin Nanyi scratched his chin and said, "I have never heard of such a dish, even in the capital." ”
"What kind of ingredients can remind people of their hometown?" Ji Wan's mind quickly searched for the taste and combination of each ingredient, and she didn't want to drop the chain at a critical moment in this decisive battle.
"Why don't you do what you think in your heart, and make the soup that belongs to your memory." Lin Nanyi put one hand on Chi Wan's federation and said softly to her.
The soup in my memory? Ji Wan fell into the memory, her hometown is the world that belongs to her, where her favorite drink is the pickled soup made at home.
Tender bamboo shoots, marinated bacon meat, crispy winter melon, and more importantly, the family will gather around the table to drink this soup together. That's right, that's all that matters, the warmth of this soup belongs to home.
"I know what to do!" Ji Wan's eyes were shining, I don't know if it was tears or a confident gaze from the inside out, Lin Nanyi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and choose the ingredients." ”
On the other hand, the shopkeeper with the same number of votes as Chi Wan has almost become the hope of all the other shopkeepers, and they must win this last game, so that they can completely crush the limelight of the flavor building.
But what is the only way to make the people who drank the soup vote for themselves as if they were fascinated? The shopkeeper thought about it, and suddenly thought of a seasoning, as long as he had it, he would definitely win!
Time passed quickly, and the soup on Chi Wan's side had already been unveiled, and the rich fresh fragrance wafting in the air was very tempting, and even many people outside the venue smelled this fragrance.
Chi Wan took a mouthful of soup, which was just right salty, and she ate a bite of bamboo shoots, which was crispy and delicious. Then she gave Lin Nanyi a thumbs up, indicating that he did a very good job.
From the beginning to the present, this soup was made by Lin Nanyi himself, and Chi Wan provided the recipe and helped to get started. Unexpectedly, this simple pickled soup was actually made by Lin Nanyi to taste her mother, Chi Wan was shocked in her heart, what she wanted was this taste.
While! The sound of the gong means that the time is over, and Chi Wan put the cup of soup on the table, with some reluctance in her eyes.
However, several other restaurants that have no chance of winning are basically made casually under the pretext of haha, and the most eye-catching is only the Central Plains Flavor Restaurant with two votes, and the old restaurant that has been open for fifty years with three votes.
Including the twenty judges this time, they are also people who have left their hometowns and come to Xicheng, because only if they have eaten can they truly reflect it, and the acacia soup is the most delicious and reminiscent of their hometown.
"Why don't you introduce the soup made by our restaurant first," the Central Plains shopkeeper opened the lid of the pot, and a smell of mutton wafted with a fishy smell, "My hometown is from the Central Plains, this is the most famous mutton steamed bun soup in our Central Plains, the most delicious mutton tendon meat is selected, and the internal organs are boiled, and our special spices from the Central Plains are also put in it, including Su Ye ......"
The shopkeeper of the Central Plains also talked endlessly about his hometown, but some people think this dish is acceptable, but there are some people who were born in Jiangnan and are not used to eating such fishy mutton.
Therefore, the mood of the people is not particularly high, but some people smell the fishy smell and can't accept it and almost vomit it, which really swept away the excitement of the Central Plains shopkeeper, and almost left the scene on the spot angrily.
This Central Plains boss and Chi Wan's approach are the same as the taste of his hometown, but the response to this experience is not particularly good, and Chi Wan began to worry about the soup in front of her.
"Will they not be able to accept my soup too?" Chi Wan held the soup cup in one hand, and the heat spread from the palm of her hand to her whole body, feeling very warm.
Lin Nanyi comforted Chi Wan and said, "It's okay, this soup will definitely not be a problem, believe me." ”
"Next, it's the turn of the acacia soup in the flavor building."
"This soup is called Pickled Tu Xian, and it is the acacia soup in my heart, and every time my mother finishes the soup, we always sit together and drink it as a family. The ingredients in it are winter bamboo shoots, bacon meat, lettuce, and some Chinese medicine that I have prepared myself, which can also be counted as a medicinal meal. ”
Everyone raised their spoons and took a sip, and the soup went down to their stomachs, and a warm feeling filled the entire stomach and gradually spread to the entire heart. It is not only the heat of the soup, but also the collision and fusion of the ingredients that will bring such a delicate feeling.
I just feel that I want to feather and ascend to the immortal, as if bathed in the spring sunshine, which makes people feel comfortable. When eating a winter bamboo shoot, it is crispy and refreshing, and the soup contained in it spreads in the mouth with every chew, so that people can't stop and want to continue drinking.
"It's the smell that warms my heart, as if my family is all around me now."
"The soup also tastes good, giving it a familiar feel."
Everyone responded, and Chi Wan was overjoyed to see such a situation, she succeeded, and she succeeded in making this acacia soup. The most important thing about Acacia soup is not to miss your hometown, but when you are in a foreign land, you will naturally be able to carry the encouragement and motivation given to you by your hometown, and move forward bravely without flinching.
Everyone praised Chi Wan's soup, and now the shopkeepers are in a hurry, it seems that the flavor building is going to win again, and there is still the last soup left to boil, do they still have hope?
The shopkeeper who has been open for 50 years still disdainful on the surface even when he saw the pickled soup made by Chi Wan, which had been well received just now, and he was not in a hurry, as if victory was inevitable.
"Let's try my soup, the name of my soup is Nanyan Homecoming, the egg dumplings in it are all freshly packed, and the vermicelli is tapioca starch."
A very ordinary dish, the selection of ordinary ingredients looks very ordinary, it is the usual egg dumpling vermicelli soup. But for some reason, the aroma of this soup has a haunting feeling that keeps drawing you closer to it.
Some people take a sip and sip their mouths, saying that it is really delicious, and they can't help but start drinking the second, third, fourth, and fifth sips, and almost everyone is like this.
They were like enchanted, and they were sucked by the Nanyan homing in front of them, and they couldn't help but want to drink it, and even the host couldn't stop them.
At this time, they were like hungry ghosts fighting and grabbing food, and after a while, there were only some dregs left in Tang Zhongli, and after tasting them, the people were still dissatisfied and wanted to drink more and more.
The shopkeeper smiled sadly, and he said, "If you like my soup so much, vote for me, and I'll make some for everyone at once." ”
Hearing this, the people raised their votes to vote for him. Chi Wan looked at the scene in front of her in a daze, it wasn't that she didn't believe that others would make it tastier than herself, but the behavior of those people was too strange, as if they had taken drugs.
Just when the host was confused and ready to announce that the shopkeeper had won, a person who had finished drinking the soup suddenly shook his body and fell to the ground, everyone exclaimed, and the doctors on the side hurriedly stepped forward to diagnose, and Chi Wan, who knew medical skills, also rushed over as soon as possible to check the patient's condition.
A doctor was amazed and said, "Ah! This is a symptom that only occurs when poppy powder is consumed, and some people add poppy powder to the soup! ”
Poppy powder is a medicinal powder made of plants, which has a strong hallucinogenic ability, and the eater will become addicted after eating, and the more you eat, the greater the stamina, if the weak person eats it, it will faint like this, and then produce a series of symptoms such as the blackening of the hall.
At the beginning of the competition, it was stipulated that only the ingredients on the table could be used, and the secret sauce had to pass the test of the doctors, and now the shopkeeper dared to poison the food directly in this way, trying to win by such a despicable means, it was too much.
"Direct disqualification!" As the organizer, Chi Wan directly criticized, "People like you don't care about other people's lives at all, you don't deserve to participate in the cooking competition!" ”
The shopkeeper was suddenly deflated, and he had nowhere to escape under so many pairs of eyes, but he was afraid that the restaurant would not be able to open if it affected his reputation in the future.
In the end, Ji Wan deserved her name and became the first place in the cooking competition.
