Chapter 51: Simple Dishes
The younger judges, who had not spoken, were already disgusted when they saw Zhen Ruhua's big face and buckteeth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But when I heard Zhen Ruhua's comment on her dishes as "nourishing yin and aphrodisiac", my heart and eyes immediately came alive.
"It's my turn to taste it this time!" He pretended to stand up, but asked uneasily: "In the ingredients, snakes are generally used to make dragons, and chickens are used to make phoenixes, should you also get a long worm in it?" ā
"Hmph, I'm not using these ordinary things, they're all top-notch good goods! How do you look down on people! Zhen Ruhua was reluctant, and pouted and said coquettishly to the young judges.
The young judge suddenly had goosebumps, so frightened that he didn't dare to say any more, and directly lifted the lid. I saw that there was only a small plate on the big plate, and there were two small birds in the plate, and in the middle of the birds was a black thing.
He looked left and right, but he really didn't see any top-notch good-quality goods from the bowl, and finally couldn't help asking: "This is what you used to make Longfeng Chengxiang?" ā
"Of course, it's still one dragon and two phoenixes! The dragon is the loach known as the 'ginseng in the water', and the phoenix is the quail. As the saying goes, 'Quail in the sky, loache in the ground,' these two things can't help but have a strong tonic effect, and the taste is also excellent. Zhen Ruhua explained triumphantly.
"It's a turtledove in the sky, a loach in the ground!" The youth judges were furious. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and he was also angry: "You, go down!" Don't talk about your ugliness, you really think I'm stupid, talking nonsense! ā
"So what are you doing! One dragon and two phoenixes are not satisfied, you are really difficult to serve. Otherwise, you come to us first, and let me serve you with my sister Ruyu! Zhen Ruhua was not only not annoyed, but she was coquettish again, and then turned around and walked down proudly.
This is the Yangcheng Chef Competition? Rob, who was waiting on the sidelines, was already dumbfounded. Although I have never participated in it, I think this is also a chef's event, and these people will not ruin the reputation of this competition so badly!
"Maverick, you've got a good dish! The name is good and the key is that the cost is low, I think it can be done for 10 yuan at most! ā
"Just kidding, Brother Li! The ingredients we use are very good, and the cost is enough to 20 yuan. But you're really willing to spend the money, you can't take 100 yuan each of these things, right? ā
"Yes, I also thought about it to create this dish. Although it cost a little more money, after all, the name of this dish makes sense. Wait a while to send a certificate of 'Yangquan Restaurant won the top 40 in the King of Chefs competition with its splendid mountains and rivers', and it is worth spending a little more! ā
"Damn, that's the original one. These people didn't have the heart to make it to the finals, they just came here to receive the prize money and a certificate of honor. For them, spending a dollar is too expensive, of course, this dish is just for grandstanding, as long as the dish can be associated with the name, it will be considered a success! Rob found out such a truth from their conversation, and he was drunk for a while.
No wonder the host smiled weirdly just now, and reminded everyone to take off their eyes. It turned out that he had already seen the process of these people cooking in the kitchen, but he secretly watched the excitement from the sidelines, what a bad person! ā
"The fourth contestant, Rob, it's your turn, hurry up!" Just a moment when Rob was thinking, the host had already urged him several times.
"Hello, three judges! This is the steamed chicken I made, please taste it. Rob didn't have so many words, and he introduced them in a very ordinary and ordinary way.
"Dude, if you really have a chicken on the plate, I'll count you as a winner!" The young judges, who were intimidated by Zhen Ruhua, directly reduced their requirements to the minimum.
At this time, the old man suddenly said: "Steamed chicken is the signature dish of this Longting Hotel, you dare to make this dish, is it possible that you still have something to do with this hotel?" ā
"I've been here for a few years, and I just recently left." Rob said lightly.
"I see!" The old judge nodded, and thought self-righteously: "It turns out that it is because of you who are a good person, so those contestants feel that they have no hope of qualifying, so they choose to make such bad food to compete." But they don't have enough confidence in the judges! If they are serious, they will still have a chance, but if they are not serious, they will never have a chance. ā
Because the old judge had a misunderstanding, he was not interested in Rob's dishes, and he lifted the lid of the pot at random, but his eyes didn't even look at it.
However, as he lifted the lid, a puff of steam rose up, enveloping him at once with an enticing scent.
The old judge is also a well-known chef, and he was saddened by today's competition. For a person who loves the work of a chef very much, no matter what he cooks, he must be serious and responsible.
But today he was unlucky to meet three strange people, these three people were not serious chefs at first glance, but the owners of some small restaurants that were not in the limelight, so they treated the competition as child's play. As for the last doorman, even if the cooking skills are good, the morality is not good, which still makes him feel uncomfortable.
But after the aroma surrounded him, he forgot all the unpleasantness just now.
"It smells so good! The fragrance of chicken and the fragrance of lotus leaves are definitely not the effect of adding flavors! He turned his head sharply to the plate, and saw an emerald green lotus leaf in the center of the plate, on which were neatly stacked with cut chicken pieces.
He didn't care about holding chopsticks, so he directly pinched a piece of chicken with his hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
"It's so tender, it's so slippery, it's so fragrant! I am so blessed to be able to eat such a good steamed chicken! The old judge unconsciously closed his eyes, as if everything in the world did not exist, only the beautiful feelings in his mouth still existed.
When the other two saw the old judge's appearance, they were also surprised to put a piece of chicken in their mouths. As soon as the chicken enters the mouth, an incomparably tender sensation immediately enters the brain from the mouth. The two of them couldn't wait to bite lightly, and the fibers of the chicken broke in their mouths. The delicious flavor contained in the fiber blooms in the mouth with a bang, like a flower blooming in their hearts.
The three of them stood there in a daze, until the chicken was chewed and swallowed unconsciously, and the taste in their mouths slowly faded, so that the three of them regained their clarity.
The three of them glanced at each other, and their eyes revealed a complex feeling of shock, joy, and reluctance. But soon they didn't care about anything and began to fight for the rest of the chicken.
Under the incredible gaze of everyone, a plate of chicken was divided between the three of them like a whirlwind. The host originally saw a few people intoxicated, and wanted to come forward to eat a piece in the name of tasting it for the audience. It's a pity that the chopsticks in his hand were taken aside by the three of them in turn, and they didn't grab a single one.
