Chapter 190: The Twelve Scales of Angels

The busy person on the screen in front of the No. 5 examiner was the man with dark circles under his eyes who almost hit Lin Xiaoxiao when Fang Yu was participating in the junior chef assessment.

The man with dark circles did not wear a fashionable suit today, but changed into a normal chef's uniform, but still wore the dragon wrapped wine jug ornament on his chest.

He is now working hard to make glutinous rice dough, and he already has ten rice flour doughs in front of him, five colored and five white.

He took out a bag of white rice noodles from the special refrigerator and poured it into the basin. Then he measured the water in the induction cooker with the temperature, and when he saw that the scale was at 60 degrees, he added the water to the basin little by little, and mixed the rice noodles into a whole dough.

After doing this, he took out another bag of rice noodles from the refrigerator and continued his work. The monotonous processing process made the No. 5 examiner roll his eyes and muttered secretly in his heart:

"If it weren't for my aunt's repeated telling me to help take care of this idiot, I wouldn't have bothered to look at him."

But fortunately, the dishes of the man with dark circles are very simple to make, so it does not take long. Once all the dough was made, the man with the black eye took out twelve crisper boxes and a piece of paper from the refrigerator.

He put the crisper in front of the corresponding dough for the piece of paper in his hand, and then began the final process.

He kneaded the dough into the size of a longan, then took out the filling that had been frozen into glass balls from the crisper box, filled the small dough one by one, and kneaded it into a ball.

That's right, what this man with dark circles is making is the glutinous rice balls that everyone often eats as a dim sum supper.

The cooking skills of this man with dark circles are not very good, but the speed of making rice balls is still quite fast, and in a short time, twelve dough pieces become sixty rice balls.

The man with dark circles asked his temporary assistant to bring four more induction cookers and matching pots, and divided sixty rice balls into five pots and began to cook.

Just as the other judges except Examiner No. 5 switched the screen to Tang Yunfei's small kitchen, ready to watch him put the finishing touches on the decorations, they suddenly heard a serving bell.

The judges who originally thought that Tang Yunfei would be the first to serve the food were taken aback.

Fang Yu was still preparing the thickening sauce, and he hadn't even officially stir-fried the food, who was serving it?

Only then did they remember that there was a third candidate, a son of the Wen family whose personal material was like a third-rate novel.

Before they could switch to the small kitchen of the man with dark eyes, the man's dishes had already been delivered to the entrance outside the judges' table through the staff.

After the staff who delivered the dishes left, the judges opened the small doors of the dishes and pulled the food plates containing the dishes into the judges' seats.

Examiner No. 3 looked at the dish in front of him, a rectangular black-glazed porcelain plate contained twelve rice balls, five colored and seven white. The colored rice balls are placed on top of the white rice balls, from left to right, they are pink, crimson, golden yellow, light green, and purple black.

On the side of the black-glazed porcelain plate is a small sign with eight characters written in scribbled and crooked handwriting.

Examiner No. 3 picked up the small sign and carefully identified it for a while before saying:

"'The Twelve Scales of Angels'? Is that the name of the dish? Hmph, I don't know what to do. ”

Examiner No. 3 took out a pair of ceramic chopsticks inlaid with ornate patterns outlined in silver wires, and gently picked up a pink rice ball and put it in his mouth.

When his teeth touched the skin of the rice balls, the No. 3 examiner suddenly stared.

"Hmm... Soft and tender, fragrant, is the skin of this rice ball... No way, isn't that kind of thing extinct? At present, the association offers all varieties that have been restored through hybrids.

But this taste, this aroma is completely different from the existing varieties, is it a new variety secretly cultivated by the Wen family? ”

The No. 3 examiner bit the rice balls in disbelief, and a stream of sweet juice flowed out.

"It's... It's liquor! "The No. 3 examiner didn't look at the production process of the man with dark circles just now, and he didn't expect that there would be such a filling in the rice balls.

Although the skin of the rice balls is very hot, the rice wine that flows out of the rice balls is a little cold. This cold and hot completed the encounter of fate, the skin of the rice balls became just the right temperature, and the rice wine was warmed by the heat, exuding a refreshing aroma of wine.

Examiner No. 3 exclaimed again: "This aroma is sweet and moist, the same as the dough of the rice balls, this is rice wine made from the same kind of rice." It's so delicious. ”

Examiner No. 3 couldn't help but switch the screen to the small kitchen of the man with dark circles, turned on the microphone, and asked the man:

"Are your pink rice balls made from rouge rice?"

Almost at the same time, three different voices rang out in the small kitchen of the man with dark eyes, all asking the same question.

The man with dark circles was sitting in the small kitchen playing a mobile phone game boringly, and the sudden sound scared him so much that he almost threw his phone on the ground.

"It's... Yes, what's wrong? ”

"Where did you get your rouge rice?" Once again, the three voices asked the same question.

Without waiting for the man with dark circles to answer, the fourth voice asked weakly:

"Can any of you tell me what rouge rice is?"

The voice of the fifth examiner sounded: "You must be learning Western food, you don't know about rouge rice, you must be a 'turtle' who returned after going abroad, if I guess correctly, you should be..."

"Okay, that's enough, have something to say, follow the rules." A voice stopped Examiner Five from continuing.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, I'll give him a bit of rouge rice.

Rouge rice is an extremely valuable rice variety, and it is also called 'Ota Rouge Rice' because it has always been used as a royal offering.

The origin of its name is said to be that a princess of the previous dynasty was unaccustomed to the soil and water, weak and sickly, and after eating the rice for a few days, her face became ruddy, and she looked forward to her life, and she was like rouge on her face without makeup. Seeing this, the emperor gave the name: rouge rice. Since then, rouge rice has become famous as a nourishing product that nourishes qi and blood and flattens the five internal organs.

The rice grains of rouge rice are oval cylindrical, slightly longer than ordinary rice grains, dark red inside and out, and there are dark red rice noodles along the lines, and when cooked, the color is like rouge, and the fragrance is fragrant, and the taste is excellent. Its biggest feature is that it is extremely nutritious, and it can also be dyed and fragrant when mixed with other rice.

However, it is a pity that the yield of this rice is too low, and later the local government promoted the cultivation of cotton and did not allow the cultivation of cochineal rice, and it became extinct several decades ago.

The outer skin of this pink rice ball is supposed to be made from rice flour made from a mixture of rouge rice and fine glutinous rice. ”

"Ah, such an amazing ingredient." The voice exclaimed.

Then four voices rang out over the kitchen: "Where did you get your rouge rice?" ”

"It's from home." The man with dark circles answered honestly.

"Where is the house?" Four voices asked again.

"Okay, okay, it's endless, don't scare the children, I'll talk about it." The fifth examiner said dissatisfied.

"The Wen family has been scouring for a variety of fine rice varieties to be used to make new wines. A few years ago, they stumbled upon an old gentleman who had been growing rice for the royal family.

The Wen family won the treasure and tried to win over them in many ways, and finally got the old man to agree to send his children to the Wen family's farm to guide the planting. In addition, in order to escort his children, the old gentleman also took out a priceless treasure, the seeds of rouge rice. ”

Examiner No. 3 interjected: "The association didn't say that rouge rice has been extinct in the ten years of catastrophe, where did he get the seeds. ”

"The old gentleman felt that it was a pity that the rouge rice was so extinct, so he secretly sowed seeds and harvested seeds by the pond and in the field without telling people, looking forward to the day when the rouge rice could shine again." Examiner No. 5 replied.

"So how much can we produce now?" The other examiners asked eagerly.

"It's not ideal, this kind of rice has too high requirements for water and soil, and the ones who made him dumplings just now are already one-tenth of last year's output."

"Hey, that's too little," the examiners sighed in unison.

The examiner who asked the question just now suddenly thought of something:

"The pink rice balls are rouge rice with rouge rice wine, so shouldn't other rice balls be made of different rice?"

Amway's book by a black-bellied and cute girl, Letu's "Three Realms Grab Red Envelopes: Don't Be Too Flirtatious About the Emperor's Young Husband", you can see the depth of the routine at a glance. I've read ten chapters, and I'm deeply inspired by education, and it turns out that there are still such operations. From now on, I aspire to be the man of the Filthy Meow King.
