Chapter 146: Victory in the first battle

Seeing this, Li Yi was surprised and said, "Brother Ma only picked some vegetarian dishes, what are you going to do?" You must know that the owner of the highest restaurant, Yuan Mansion, once said that the dishes are not fragrant without meat, and the famous stir-fried dishes are indispensable for meat to match! ”

Ming Ze had eaten the vegetarian dishes made by the master several times, and he had already gone from being stunned at the beginning to the current habit, and he said confidently: "Brother Li, if you have eaten the vegetarian dishes made by the master, you will feel that what the master of the Yuan Mansion said is too arbitrary!" ”

Li was still skeptical, but he didn't say anything more, just silently watched Xiaoguo skillfully cut the ingredients, overoil them, and stew them.

With the observation of the first game, the contestants all have a sense of experience, and this second game is a fire, and there are few panicked people.

Xiaoguo took out the dishes in the pot and sprinkled the chives into it, and the competition time was just over.

The judges, who are full of big fish and big meat, have an unexpectedly high evaluation of Xiaoguo's eggplant stewed potatoes, and even the most picky supervisor Chi couldn't help but eat a few more bites, and Xiaoguo passed the primary election steadily!

The success of Xiaoguo gave a lot of inspiration to the other contestants, and when they tasted the competition for the third time, there were many fewer vegetables in the porcelain pot.

Ming Ze fried meat with bamboo shoots, and Nuan Er won the fifth and sixth assessments with the help of fishermen's stir-frying!

During the lunch break, I ate lunch provided by the government.

Li Yi said enviously: "I never thought that the three brothers are all hidden masters!" It's a privilege to be able to get to know you! ”

Xiao Guo saw that he was faintly apprehensive, and said with a smile: "From Brother Li's words, it can be seen that your attainments in food are also not shallow, although you are relaxed in the afternoon competition, I believe you will have an easy time!" ”

Li Wei grinned and said, "Brother Chengma, Li can only do his best!" ”

Nuan'er patted his round shoulder and said, "We came together in the morning, and we will go back together in the evening!" We'll stay and cheer you on! Isn't it, Master, Senior Brother? ”

Xiaoguo and Mingze nodded and said, "This is nature!" ”

When the future is uncertain, it is undoubtedly a great happiness to have someone to accompany and support you silently.

Li Hui's eyes were slightly red, and he said with a smile: "The good intentions of the brothers, Li Mou has grasped it!" It's just that you are also tired all morning, so you don't have to wait here with me, go back to the inn to rest first! ”

Xiaoguo said: "It's okay, Brother Li can just wait for the game with peace of mind!" ”

Seeing that their attitude was affirmative, Li Yi was not polite and perfunctory, and said sincerely: "No matter what the result is, I will go back tonight and ask the three brothers to have a good drink!" ”

Nuan'er clapped her hands and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" ”

Seeing that the master and the senior brother looked at her helplessly, she stuck out her tongue and changed the topic alive: "Master, why do we have to wear the skin? ”

Xiaoguo wore the dough from He Shijie this time, when she was the queen mother, she had seen a lot of nobles and royals from other countries, this meal contest was too grand, it was inevitable that there were no acquaintances watching the battle, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she came with a mask.

I never thought that Nuan'er had coveted these noodles for a long time, and when she saw that the master was finally willing to take them out and wear them, she insisted on having one.

Xiaoguo glanced at the apprentice, grinded his teeth and said, "Nuan'er, I don't remember, let you wear dough too!" ”

Receiving Master's not very kind eyes, Nuan'er whistled and looked away weakly: "Master, look, the game is going to go on again!" ”

Xiaoguo held back a smile and turned her gaze back to the arena, and Nuan'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon competition, there were several contestants' dishes, which were also widely praised, and the meal contest really hid the dragon and crouching tiger.

Xiaoguo sighed: "As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and the ancients did not deceive me!" The stewed yellow croaker in oil, just smell its taste, look at its color, you know that the taste must be excellent! ”

Mingze and Nuan'er put away their rigid mood of expansion, meditated, and carefully observed and absorbed the advantages of others!

The competition finally came to an end at dusk!

Li Yi also passed smoothly!

On the way back, the four of them were in a good mood, talking and laughing all the way, only to feel that the journey was much shorter than in the morning.

That night, Li Cheng cooked a few specialty dishes, and Xiaoguo and the three of them were surprised to find that his cooking skills were very superb, and even the old-fashioned meals that were tacitly adhered to seemed to be a lot more delicious in his hands!

There is one dish that Xiaoguo and the others had eaten in the restaurant the day before, but the taste of the same ingredients has changed dramatically.

Xiaoguo secretly thought: With Li Ying's skills, it shouldn't be a problem to enter the finals! I don't know why, he is such a cheerful and optimistic person, but he has no confidence in his craft?

The four of them ate and chatted until late at night, and each went back to his room to rest.

In the four days leading up to the next competition, they were busy preparing exclusive condiments during the day and chatting together in the evening.

From Xiaoguo and them, Li Wei learned more and more cooking skills; Xiaoguo and the others heard more about the rules of the meal contest from Li Yi.

That's it, soon the day of the second round of the competition is just around the corner!

The venue of the competition is still the same as before, and because the number of people is condensed by half compared with the first round, the time of the competition has been extended to half an hour.

The rules of the second round have undergone some changes.

The 50 non-governmental judges remained the same, 10 official judges were added, and the supervision team became 15 people!

If you get a bead from the private judges, you can enter the official judge area, and then you must pass the assessment of the supervision team, so that those who pass all the way will then enter the next round of examinations.

If there is an objection in any of these links, it is necessary to make a decision after the comprehensive assessment of the supervision team!

In this way, the fairness and impartiality of the competition are even more improved!

There are 600 contestants, divided into six races!

Ming Ze and Nuan'er were placed in the same group and played the first game!

Ming Ze chose a piece of pork, a few potatoes, carrots, and some soaked fungus as ingredients.

Xiaoguo saw that he began to shred the ingredients, and guessed that he wanted to make fish-flavored shredded pork, so he turned his gaze to Nuan'er.

I saw Nuan'er revolving around the ingredients for a long time, and suddenly her eyes lit up, she took out a few potatoes from the bottom of a porcelain basin, scooped up some corn flour, and hugged her back directly.

"This, what is Brother Hu planning to do?" Li Wei said incredulously.

Xiaoguo shook her head and smiled: "This girl is really a little gluttonous cat, and when she competes, she only thinks about eating!" ”

It turned out that the day before, because she bought some more potatoes and made a lot of tomato sauce, Xiaoguo remembered a delicacy in her previous life - French fries!

Nuan'er actually likes to eat very much, most of the fried fries go into her stomach, and after eating, she looks hungry, and she has time to mutter, it seems that she wants to use this latest favorite food to compete!

Sure enough, I saw Nuan'er peel the potatoes, start cutting into strips, go through the hot water, start adding corn flour in batches, and fry them in the oil pan.

As soon as the fries came out of the pot, she couldn't help herself and dipped a few sticks in the ketchup.

Xiaoguo only shook her head and smiled bitterly, and even the contestants and judges on the side, seeing that she was anxious to eat it herself, all smiled, and had a strong interest in this golden strip.

And on Mingze's side, as soon as the fragrance of fish-flavored meat ** came out, it also attracted the attention of countless people!

Ming Ze and Nuan'er have both qualified for promotion!

Immediately afterwards, Li Yi participated in the second game, and he passed safely with his solid skills.

Xiaoguo was arranged for the first time in the afternoon, because the judges were constantly eating, and just after lunch, the taste in the mouth was tired, so it was changed to a refreshing and flavorful dish.

With fresh prawns, paired with vermicelli and garlic, I made a steamed shrimp with garlic vermicelli.

Because of the beautiful shape and novel taste of this dish, it was snatched up as soon as it was served, and even the Chi Supervisor began to look at Xiaoguo with admiration and noticed the name of her cuisine!

In the second round of the game, 300 people were eliminated, and four people in Xiaoguo spent it safely!

Then, in the third competition after five days, Xiaoguo steamed pomfret, Ming Ze used spring rolls, Nuan'er used braised pork, and Li Yi pickled beef tenderloin with a famous dish of pickles, all of which were safely promoted!

It's just that there is a funny thing in the game, it turns out that there is a surname Yao in this supervision, he is from the beet department, he is extremely protective, the number of beet departments participating in this field is three, two of them were eliminated in the first round because they did not cook cooked food, and the only one left, under his protection, passed two levels.

Due to the increase in the number of supporters needed for the third game, and the brother who participated in the competition, his skills were indeed too ordinary, so he was eliminated.

Who would have thought that when this Yao overseer saw that all his faction was brushed down, he also said that it was deliberately done by other cuisines, and he was full of hostility towards other cuisines.

After that, he did not taste a bite of any dish that came to him, and he denied the past!

In the end, everyone was in their hearts and automatically filtered out his support votes!

In the blink of an eye, it's time for the last screening in this town, as long as you pass the second round of the competition, you can enter the finals, and your value will also rise!

After breakfast that day, the four of them walked towards the competition venue.

Li Yi was much more excited than the previous three competitions, and even Ming Ze's face was more dignified.

Xiao Guo saw that the two of them were tense and had the intention to relieve it, so he smiled and said, "Brother Li, after today, you thought that you had surpassed your master, I don't know how you feel in your heart?" ”

Li Wei sighed: "Brother Ma, don't make fun of me, now the number of contestants has been reduced from more than 1,000 to 150, and there are still those who are still participating in the competition, which one is not really talented?" I know how big my skills are, and unlike your average unique dishes, I have no regrets about being able to get here! ”

Xiaoguo said: "Brother Li, don't be discouraged!" Although you can't change the color of the dish much, the important thing is to grasp the heat and taste very well! The more simple and common the dish, the more difficult it is to break through people's stereotypes about it, and it is difficult to make people shine, Brother Li, you have done an excellent job in this regard! ”

Nuan'er also said: "Master is right! We've eaten the dishes you've made before, and they're much better than the ones we've eaten at the restaurant before! ”

Li Shun's face eased, and he said happily: "Thank you for your praise, no matter whether Brother Tai intends to comfort me or not, I feel a lot more down-to-earth!" ”

Xiaoguo whispered a few words to Ming Ze again, Ming Ze couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
