It's close to noon.

Han Jiang got up from the bed with dark circles under his eyes. The system hung his appetite and slowly fell asleep until the early hours of the morning, looking at the big sun overhead.

"It's too late."

Han Jiang washed his face, changed his clothes, put on the package given by the system, took the dragon slaying knife and went out.

Today is the day of the God of Food Competition, and there are people waiting in front of the palace early. When the palace door opened, everyone flocked to find the place at the top, hoping that they would be noticed by more judges.

Due to the large number of participants and the large venue, it was full of people for a while. These men had never entered the palace before, and they were deeply shocked by the scene. I saw layers of Qin bricks and Han tiles, purple pillars and golden beams, all of which were extremely luxurious.

"The palace is so big, a small hall can accommodate so many people."

The cook of Chang'an City said: "Ignorance, the palace can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and there are as many as eight thousand palace maids and eunuchs alone. ”

"Then you've been through the palace before."

"Hmph, don't you have to go in to know so much?"

"To say that others are ignorant is a fool, and you can only say that you have never talked about the world."

A few cooks are-for-tat.

On the high platform, a supervising eunuch, Grandpa Chi, struck the gong 'Duang~'.

Father-in-law Chi is the head of the imperial dining room, and this competition is managed by him.

shouted loudly: "There is a quarter of an hour left, and the participants who arrive will be disqualified." ”

The princes and princesses all sat high on the observation platform, and many ministers were also watching, and there were also blond and blue-eyed people from the Western Regions and yellow people with different costumes.

The officials and princes of the Tang Dynasty are dressed differently, highlighting the level of their status.

Jiang Qian'er asked Li Yao, "Brother Huang, can you see Hanjiang." ”

Li Yao shook his head and said, "Brother Wei has been watching around, but he doesn't see anyone. ”

Li Min hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I see that Mr. has overslept again." ”

Jiang Qian'er kicked him and said, "If you say bad things about him again, believe it or not, hang you up and let Chang'an City see it." ”

The crown prince Li Cong looked at the late arrivals outside the door and said to them, "This is the person you are talking about. ”

The crowd followed his gaze.

Li Ju put his arm around Li Yao's shoulder and said, "Sir, he's really punctual, he won't arrive until there is no time." ”

"Let's watch the game."

The incense on the stage burned out, the door was slowly closed by the guards, and Han Jiang rushed all the way to the end of the operation table panting, slumping to the ground panting.

The voice of Gonggong Chi came from the stage again: "The time has come, the contestants can use the food they brought, or they can use the palace." ”

A group of little eunuchs carried vegetable baskets and asked one by one.

Hanjiang had a system of dishes, so he refused.

The judges this time are all very large, the dark chef Wen Hua, the beautiful chef Liu Wuji and the famous tongue An Baiwei, all of them are contemporary food industry masters, of course, there are some who don't want to show their water.

"Duang~, the game starts, one stick of incense is limited."

The participants are ready and waiting for this moment.

Guiyun Pavilion Chef Zhang Kui fished out a fresh fish from the water tank, held the knife in his right hand, and the fish was processed after two strokes, and the fish entered the pot without any struggle, which shows the high skill of the knife. Half an hour later, the fish returned to the light and swam up in the pot, ushering in a round of applause.

Zhang Kui said proudly: "My dish is the volcano swimming dragon. ”

There is also a mysterious mask man, who actually made ordinary tofu into very elastic balls, and stewed them in broth to exude a fragrance that is not original.

At this time, Han Jiang only had two eggs in his hands and the rice left over from the night, and he secretly cried in his heart at this time.

Xin said: "The system you cheated me, what about the good dishes..."

“……”

After thinking about it, I can only make egg fried rice. The first is that the scrambled eggs must be stirred quickly and evenly and scrambled until they are half cooked. When adding rice, the rice must be fried until one grain is separated, and then mixed with the egg, the rice and the egg are mixed evenly, and then seasoned with pepper and salt to suffocate the taste and aroma of all the ingredients in an instant, which is the essence of Chinese cuisine.

The moment the pot was opened and put into the bowl, the fragrance filled the palace, and everyone smelled greedily and stared at the golden rice.

"Duang~, it's time for the game, please hand over your dishes to your father-in-law."

If the scrambled eggs are cold, the fishy smell will ruin the original flavor of the fried rice, and it will definitely be lost.

Hanjiang put it at the bottom to effectively isolate water vapor. Get ready and give it to your father-in-law to take it away.

Add it up to a nervous moment for the contestants, and each of the three judges will score points for tasting a dish.

"First, the black bear plays with a stick."

As the name suggests, 'Black Bear Stick' is fried bean sprouts with fungus.

Wen Hua tasted a bite and said: "The ingredients are well chosen, this fungus is picked in early spring in Beihe, the fungus at this time has a cold and sweet taste, and this bean sprout must be carefully cultivated by yourself, not bad, but your heat is insufficient, and the taste has been lost in the soup, four points." ”

"The second way, the volcanic dragon."

The cook Liu Ji said to Zhang Kui: "Your knife skills are very amazing, you can even make the dead fish come back to light, and make this volcanic swimming dragon, just with your knife skills can score five points, wait for me to taste it." ”

"Sucking" a piece of fish meat slipped into her mouth, Liu Ji's expression changed and changed, and her seductive eyes opened and said: "Okay, the fish is smooth and springy, the soup is rich and fragrant, I can feel the great banks of the mountains and the clarity of the stream, this fish is caught in the rivers in the mountains." ”

"Yes, this is what I caught in the Hermit Mountain early in the morning, and I am not a senior in the food industry."

Liu Ji smiled: "8 points." ”

……

"Eighty-one, tofu soup."

Epiway has always been reticent, tasting it and spit it out for scoring.

"Eight points."

After tasting Hanjiang's dishes for a long time, my father-in-law served them in front of them, and when he opened the lid, there was still hot steam, and the rich aroma of rice wafted into the nostrils of the judges, but he couldn't smell the slightest smell of eggs.

An Baiwei looked at it and said, "This... What to add a name. ”

The father-in-law next to him couldn't say anything, so he stood next to him and was in a hurry.

Han Jiang stepped forward and said, "My lord, this is just ordinary egg fried rice." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion below, and Gonggong Chi struck the gong and said, "Quiet." ”

Liu Ji glanced at him, felt a little funny, and asked, "Since it's egg fried rice, why is there no shadow of an egg?" ”

"Adults will know when you taste it."

Hanjiang didn't say much, and made a gesture of please.

Each judge only took a little golden rice and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"This smell, is it..."

Han Jiang clasped his fists and saluted: "That's right, the ingredients I choose are very simple, and the method is very common, but I use a special method to wrap the egg in each grain of rice, and finally lock the flavor of all the ingredients tightly in the rice." ”

"You know what I'm thinking."

An Baiwei, who has always been taciturn, wiped his mouth and said, "Yes, I was surprised by your cooking skills, and we all decided to give you nine points." ”
