Before going on the field, the five contestants usually have to go to the judges' bench to draw lots to decide which stove to use, showing the fairness and openness of the competition and avoiding anyone from doing things in advance.

The shopkeeper took out a cloth bag and said, "There are five brands in it, and you can use the stove when you get the number of plates!" ”

The five players all stepped forward to touch the cards in turn, some rushed to draw first, and some wanted to grind until the end before drawing. I didn't care, so I casually reached into the bag and found a sign with the traditional character "Wu" written on it. I actually drew the number five position!

Zhao Laodao has participated in this kind of competition and analyzed the importance of signing for me in advance. Generally speaking, the stoves in the first and fifth positions are easy to be disturbed because they are close to the audience, and they are not too good to sign, and the three stoves in the center do not have such troubles.

And the worst of them is the number five position, because when it comes to serving, it is also the last in line. Because the judges have already eaten four dishes before, the taste will inevitably be affected a little, and when it comes to tasting the last dish, it will be difficult to shine again. But this sign has been caught in my hands, and it is impossible to change it, so I have to bite the bullet!

Zhao Laodao personally helped me move the ingredients I brought to the No. 5 stove, and patted me on the shoulder before leaving, and said in a low voice: "Take it easy, just follow what I taught you, and play normally!" ”

I nodded and said gratefully. That's all Zhao Laodao can help me with, and the rest can only rely on my own ability!

There was still a little time before the official start of the competition, so I hurriedly sorted out the ingredients on the stove and put the spatula knife and spoon in place for ready use. Some of the ingredients have already been handled by Zhao Laodao for me, and he also used other similar materials to let me practice the rest of the steps a few times, and they are basically cooked.

Therefore, I was very calm, and I took advantage of this moment in a hurry, and turned my head to observe all four of my opponents. Among the four of them were young people like me, and middle-aged people in their thirties and forties.

Ma Xiaostool has already inquired for me, and the Fire Dragon Gang is the younger brother of the gang leader Long Dayong, called Long Dazhuang. This person is in his thirties, his appearance and appearance are almost the same as his brother's mold, he is casually dressed, sloppy, and he actually has a cigarette in his mouth when he goes on the field!

Long Dazhuang drew the No. 1 position, and I saw the Liushengmen disciple standing in front of the No. 2 stove next to him subconsciously pinched his nose with a disgusted expression. It is conceivable that Long Dazhuang's body odor has a great impact on him. I'm glad I'm glad that the No. 5 spot I drew was the farthest away.

The disciple of Yanagi Sect in the second position is called Yanagi Mustard, and he is the closed disciple of the head of Yanagi Qianwei. His dress and style are the same as his master's, and he is completely a young version of Yanagi Chimi. It is said that Yanagi Qianwei has a habit of cleanliness, and it is estimated that he is inevitable.

On the third position is the apprentice grandson of Yu Hot Pot, the head of Jiugong Pavilion. His personality is just the opposite of his master, and he is said to be a little introverted and cowardly. After Hua Jiao'er came to the stage, she kept her head down, and her eyes were evasive, and she didn't dare to look at people, let alone speak, it seems that the rumors are true.

The old Bing family who stood next to me in the fourth position was a middle-aged man named Bing Yuan, who was the cousin of the head of the family, Bing Fang, and also a master who had been making cakes for many years. Lao Bing's family even invited him out, obviously there is no successor.

"Boom!"

While I was still looking around, I suddenly heard a gong sound. It was the gong struck by the shopkeeper, and according to the rules of previous years, a gong sounded to indicate that you could start cooking. The two gongs remind the players that the time is halfway through, and if you hear a continuous rush of gongs, it means that the time has come and the players must stop and leave the stage immediately.

The competition has finally begun!

The five contestants, including me, immediately began to race against time, some washed the rice first, some took the ingredients to the cutting board first, and some immediately started the fire. I'm still more troublesome, I have to shell the dead lobster first, but to preserve its integrity, you can't use violent knocking or chopping, you can only use prying and cutting.

After removing the shell, I remove all the lobster meat and divide it into four portions. One serving directly adds a little seasoning and stirs well, stir-fried into shrimp balls, which is the original flavor. The other three servings are served with Yinquan fish, glacial snails, and ghost bamboo shoots, and are also fried into shrimp balls. The claws and feet of the lobster are salt-and-pepper, which is suitable for grabbing and nibbling directly. This is also the biggest feature of this dish, which can be tasted in five different flavors at once.

Of course, when stir-frying the shrimp balls, I also used the exclusive secret taught to me by Zhao Laodao, adding yin power to make it a ghost meal that was both delicious and cold. When serving, I still put the dead lobster as it is, the shrimp balls are placed in the middle, the claws and feet are placed on both sides, and the head and tail of the lobster are retained. There is a beginning and an end, which means that there must be a beginning and an end to doing things.

When I finished it, the name of my dish was "Dragon Soaring World"!

"Boom, boom!"

A continuous, tight gong sounded, and all five players quickly stopped. I turned my head to take a look, and everyone had a pretty good grasp of the time, and they had already started to put on the plate, just seizing the last time to fine-tune it.

"Please serve the food to the dragon of the No. 1 Fire Dragon Gang!" The shopkeeper shouted loudly.

The plate prepared by Long Dazhuang is really big, even a big man like him must be carried on his shoulders to serve it to the judges' seat. He didn't use the stove provided by the uniform just now, but brought a pair of grills that he had prepared, and at this time, the smell of barbecue wafted on the competition field, making everyone can't help but start swallowing when they smell it.

The cheering seats of the Fire Dragon Gang also lost no time in shouting, and those disciples also pretended to stretch their noses and sniff in the air, shouting, "What a fragrant barbecue!" ”

Long Dayong, the leader of the Fire Dragon Gang who was sitting in the VIP seat, couldn't help but be proud when he saw this, clapped his two big hands, and took the opportunity to recommend his own brother to Teng Dewang to build momentum for Long Dazhuang.

On the judges' bench, the shopkeeper Weng is the chief of the supervisors, and he will preside over tonight's competition. He looked at the works on Long Dazhuang's plate, also smelled the aroma of barbecue, and said with a smile: "Long Dazhuang, let's briefly introduce your works first!" ”

"Great!"

Long Dazhuang spit out the cigarette butt that had been biting in his mouth, and said triumphantly: "This dish is the signature dish of our Fire Dragon Gang: roasted earth dragon!" The ingredients used are poisonous earth dragons caught from the ground, five feet long, thick skin and tough flesh, infinite strength, and highly poisonous on the tips of the tongue and teeth! ”

"Hehe, it's thanks to our Fire Dragon Gang that has an ancestral secret method of catching dragons, which can not only trap the poisonous earth dragon, but also remove the venom! After the earth dragon is peeled and dirty, it is then baked over a fierce fire and mixed with various secret seasonings to bake such a delicious roasted earth dragon! What do you think? I'm definitely the first place in this dish, right? ”

Long Dazhuang stood there and bragged for a long time, but in fact, the roasted earth dragon was roasted a big lizard, which was similar to the practice of roasting whole sheep and roasting whole cows. What can be called unique is the rarity of the ingredients and the difficulty of baking.

Originally, he was the first to appear in this dish, with plenty of portions and strong aroma, and he completely overshadowed the other four dishes in terms of "fragrant" alone, so he should have the advantage. But his introduction just now was arrogant and unashamed, which immediately had the opposite effect, and even the shopkeeper put away his smile.

However, for the sake of fairness, the five judges tore a piece from the roasted dragon to taste it slightly, and then each gave their own scores on the scoreboard. I noticed that Diao Dashuai also glanced at the opposite side before scoring, and one of his subordinates was gesturing something, which should be a code. Diao Dashuai immediately wrote ten points on the sign!

"Humph! It seems that the people who win the dragon are the least! I thought to myself. This kind of cheating is too obvious, but it has invisibly had a negative effect on me.

"How can it be five?"

After all the judges scored the scores, Long Dazhuang pointed to one of the signs and shouted. The scores of the other four judges were quite polite, ranging from eight to ten, and only Miss Qimeng scored a low score of five.

Qimeng pinched her nose and shook her head: "Your smell is too strong, it affects your appetite very much!" ”

"The barbecue method is originally to have a heavier taste, otherwise it won't be able to cover the smell of this dragon!" Long Dazhuang hurriedly shouted.

Qimeng still shook her head, and even began to fan the wind with her hands. She pointed at Long Dazhuang with a look of disgust and said, "Not only the taste of barbecue is heavy, but the taste on your own body is even stronger!" As a chef, you should pay attention to personal hygiene! It's almost smoking me! ”

"I ......" Long Dazhuang was stunned, looked at himself, and shouted: "Which barbecue person do you see without the smell of oil smoke?" You, you're the one in the egg! ”

"Ahem! OK! You don't have to explain! The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to stop Long Dazhuang from continuing to complain. He said: "The score has been given, so you can't change it at will!" Besides, Miss Qimeng is right, whether it tastes good or not is one thing, and food hygiene must also be within the scope of the evaluation! Serve the rest of the dishes! ”

Long Dazhuang saw that the shopkeeper Weng didn't want to see him, so he had to pick up the big dish plate again and go down in a huff. As soon as he returned to the Dragon Gang's cheering seat, he angrily threw the plate of roasted dragons to the ground, and the plate cracked. This is cheaper, and a group of little ghosts standing behind to watch the excitement have rushed up to fight for food.

Seeing this, Long Dayong, who was in the VIP seat, suddenly turned ugly. But after all, his city was deeper than his brother, so it was not good to attack on the spot, but he just snorted heavily in his nose. Boss Huang of Huangquan Soup, who has a good relationship with him, persuaded him: "Master Long is not in a hurry, Brother Ling's total score is 40, which is not low, let's take a look at the following dishes!" ”
