Chapter 148: Pan Hengguo made a statement
On the second day of competition, Nuan'er won the opportunity to enter the next competition with a bowl of beef ramen with a thick and delicious soup, refreshing, smooth and springy.
The day of Xiaoguo and Mingze's competition was on the third day!
Xiaoguo won the third game of the morning, and she won with a hand-grabbed cake, and made it famous all over the world, adding a new kind of cheap and ordinary food to the table of ordinary people, and every family could afford to eat.
Mingze made a beautiful and delicious plum blossom dumpling with flour, fresh meat, eggs, etc.
After tasting plum blossom dumplings, the chief judge stared at him for a long time and asked, "Sima Mingze?" But in the Drum Country, the one who improved the old man's osmanthus cake? ”
Ming Ze was startled at first, but immediately calmed down, and said respectfully: "I am fighting against the young people who are frivolous, I don't know how thick the sky is, and I took the liberty to change the original formula of my predecessors, which is really rude!" ”
It turned out that this chief judge was actually the founder of osmanthus cake!
"You don't know how thick the sky is!" Approval eyes narrowed slightly.
Ming Ze's hands hanging by his side rubbed the corners of his clothes, and he unconsciously acted when he was nervous.
Although Xiaoguo and the others couldn't hear the conversation here, they also guessed that they must be in trouble, but they couldn't come forward to find out what was going on, so they couldn't help but look at each other, and they all looked worried.
Ming Ze sighed secretly and said in his heart: It's all over!
He made up his mind in his heart, even if he was eliminated, he had to face it with a smile like Li Yi, and he couldn't let the master and the Chinese cuisine that already had some fame lose face!
When I thought about it like this, my mood suddenly brightened, and my back became straighter.
But I listened to the main judge and continued: "Back then, the old man and I, I also relied on not knowing the height of the sky, so I put aside the worldly conventions, added osmanthus to the ingredients, and created this osmanthus cake!" ”
Ming Ze raised his eyes in surprise when he heard this, but saw that he was looking at him with a smile: "You are very talented, and you have changed very well!" Gu Yang once took the leftover pastries and tasted them with me! ”
"The seniors are too famous!" Ming Ze understood that it was a friend or an enemy, and hurriedly bent down and said respectfully.
"The three finalists of your Chinese cuisine are all geniuses in the culinary industry, presumably after the end of this competition, one more of the world's nine major cuisines will be added, and it will become one of the top ten cuisines!"
Ming Ze saluted again and said, "Thank you for your good words." ”
The chief judge bowed slightly and replied, "Go back and prepare, let's play the next round!" The old man is looking forward to more wonderful performances from you! ”
Ming Ze thanked him and resigned.
As soon as they returned to the stage, Xiaoguo and the three of them surrounded him.
"Ming Ze (Senior Brother, Brother Sima), what's wrong?"
Ming Ze wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with a smile: "It's okay." Master, today's Lord Judge is the founder of the osmanthus cake that my sister and I have changed his recipe for! ”
"Ahh Senior brother, has he embarrassed you? Nuan'er lost her voice.
Ming Ze shook his head and said, "It seems that he has a lot of relationship with Brother Gu Yang, and instead of blaming me, he told me some things about the competition. ”
"It turned out to be a friend of Big Brother Gu Yang!" Nuan'er patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaoguo smiled slightly, no wonder when she was tasting the food in the morning, the chief judge would ask her if she was passing through the Tympanum Country, it turned out that she was entrusted by someone, so in this way, they were so smooth this time that they couldn't do without this person's secret help!
Thinking about it like this, I laughed dumbly: unintentionally, I walked through the back door once!
After this round of competition, there are less than 200 contestants left!
The three of Xiaoguo recuperated and prepared for the increasingly cruel assessment.
As a rising star in the culinary industry, Li Yi was hired by several well-known restaurants, and he chose one that he was relatively satisfied with and started a new high-paying career.
On the day he moved out of the inn, he said goodbye to Xiaoguo and the three of them with tears, and made an appointment to have a good time after the game!
In the subsequent game, Xiaoguo unexpectedly found the shadow of Hong Yanguo's imperial chef Gui Luan on the judgment table, and he didn't recognize her because Xiaoguo was wearing a mask on her face.
Xiaoguo's three masters and apprentices passed the test, and went through two rounds of assessment in a row, all of which entered the finals.
This is a 30-in-10 competition, and 30 contestants participate together!
In addition to the original ten, the chief judge also added ten prominent royal nobles from all over the world, including two women, namely the queen of Zhu Danguo and the most noble princess of the Tita country!
These two people are women in their thirties, wearing gold and silver, with beautiful faces, but the thick makeup can not hide the haggard on their faces, one has a dark and yellow complexion, and the other has serious bags under his eyes, but it does not look as dazzling as ordinary noblewomen, but fortunately, the innate noble temperament adds a lot of points to them.
The proposition given by the examiner is "soup"!
Contestants only need to stew a pot of unstoppable soup before the end of the competition, and win the support votes of the judges, and the more votes they have, the more the advantage.
The race time for this day has been extended to four hours, which is enough to cook almost any dish!
Xiaoguo went to the self-selected food area, and was surprised by the dazzling array of high-end ingredients in front of him, not to mention all kinds of livestock and game, fresh fruits and vegetables, but also large crabs, shellfish, fresh sea cucumbers and abalones, and even high-quality shark fin bird's nest.
After a little thought, she decided to change the simple style she had always had and make a dish of extreme wealth - Buddha jumping over the wall!
Thinking about the dishes to be made, she began to choose the ingredients.
Generally speaking, stewing soup is a kung fu job, the longer the time, the more delicious the soup becomes, and the opponent is getting stronger and stronger, everyone is more and more cautious in the selection of ingredients, and no one has finished the soup all morning.
At noon, a small servant brought lunch, and the contestants ate a few bites indiscriminately, and immediately focused on the guy in their hands.
The day was already in the west, and finally someone brought the soup bowl and walked onto the referee's table.
Xiaoguo looked up and saw that it was Nuan'er.
She smiled slightly, and shifted her attention to the ingredients in her hand again, not paying too much attention to them.
The soup made by Nuan'er is fresh milk ginkgo pear soup, made with fresh milk and honey sugar!
It didn't take a long time to make the soup, and Nuan'er thought about it for a long time before deciding to make this soup.
This soup can moisten the lungs and invigorate qi, cleanse the skin and remove freckles, and beaustify the beauty It is very beneficial to women, and it won the hearts of the two female judges, who did not hesitate to vote for the votes in their hands.
The sweet and fragrant taste of the soup also won another nine votes for Nuan'er, so her final vote was eleven votes.
Nuan'er had done her best, but she didn't care much about the result, she drank a few cups of tea, moistened her throat, and then set her eyes on the master and brother who were still busy with their work.
Seeing that the senior brother was stewing meat on the stove and was dicing onions, tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, carrots, etc., she roughly understood that what he was going to do was the borscht that Master had taught them!
Thinking of the wonderful taste of borscht, she swallowed a few times.
On the master's side, the two stoves were steaming or boiling, and there were leftover sea cucumbers, abalone, chicken, duck and pork pieces on the table, which made Nuan'er puzzled.
She never thought that Master had cooked this dish before, and when she thought that a new dish would come out, her eyes lit up and she stared at Master's busy shadow, and she couldn't wait.
As the sun sets, most of the contestants have finished their races and are waiting in a special waiting seat, anxiously waiting for the final result.
Ming Ze's borscht was also ready and presented to the judges to taste, and he received five more votes of support than Nuan'er, for a total of 16 votes, which is a very high result!
Just when the last incense candle in the incense burner was about to burn out, Xiaoguo's dish was finally ready!
In full view of everyone, she walked up to the referee's table with a large wine jar.
"The soup made under the Buddha jumps over the wall, also known as Fu Shouquan, please taste it!" Small fruit road.
"Fu Shouquan! Good name! I don't know what it tastes like? One of the judges laughed.
The others nodded their heads in agreement.
Xiaoguo gently lifted the lid of the altar, and a burst of unusually tempting fragrance wafted out of the altar.
Everyone present fanned their noses, took a few deep breaths of air, and salivated.
Xiaoguo divided the thick soup in the jar into the bowls of the twenty judges, and the moment they took the soup, they all showed shock on their faces.
Soft and tender, rich and fragrant, but not greasy, there is a taste in the taste, the aftertaste is endless, it is really delicious to the extreme, it is difficult to find an opponent in the world!
Xiaoguo made an exception with a full vote - a good result of 20 votes, and used an absolute advantage to enter the top ten!
The remaining 29 people were selected from the highest to the lowest votes, and the top nine were shortlisted.
Ming Ze was selected with a fifth place, and Nuan Er was the twelfth, passing by the top ten.
She was happy for her master and brother, and she was not in the slightest dissatisfied with this achievement.
Ming Ze has qualified to enter the top restaurant, and after these few competitions, the edible dish of lantern fruit has spread, and its spicy and unique taste has become a world topic of alongside Chinese cuisine.
With the increase of Ming Ze's fame, his background background has also been noticed by the royal family under his intentional or unintentional disclosure.
was also turned over, as well as the case of his father Sima Run.
Now, since the lantern fruit is recognized as non-toxic and a strange ingredient, there is no doubt that Sima Run was wronged back then!
Some powerful and powerful nobles who are full of love for food, when they have nothing to do, they began to build momentum for the unjustly killed Sima family to win attention!
The royal family could not stand the pressure of public opinion around the world, so they had to claim to the outside world and retry the case.
On the day when Xiaoguo and Mingze entered the top ten finals, at dusk, the envoys of Pan Hengguo found Xiaoguo and the three of them.
They brought a letter from Emperor Pan Hengguo, saying that the emperor had rehabilitated the Sima family, and posthumously sealed the unjustly killed Sima Run, dozens of official titles, and would build a tomb for him to apologize, and named the old lady Mingze as Mrs. Zhongxian.
At the same time, he extended an olive branch to Mingze and welcomed him back to his homeland to devote himself to the food business.
In this way, it saved some things, but Sima was framed by whom, but he did not explain clearly, and only put the responsibility on the imperial doctor who tested the poison in the meal back then, that person had no relatives and no reason, and died of illness as early as three years ago, so that there was no proof of death!
Will things be that simple? Obviously, the other party is evading the important and shirking the responsibility and shielding the murderer!
