Chapter 261: Autumn-themed competition
This time, with the theme of autumn, the range of ingredients to choose from is too wide, but it is difficult to make it special and eye-catching. This time was different from the last time, the last time it was given a day for you to think about it, this time it was immediately after the start of the game, and many people were still confused even after arriving at the place.
It wasn't until about a quarter of an hour later that some of the chefs seemed to have suddenly come to their senses, took the ingredients, and suddenly came up with an idea, and immediately began to prepare for the autumn feast.
After seeing that everything was running in an orderly manner, Rong Qing went up to the second floor over there.
As soon as Ruiyang saw her, he asked, "How are you preparing today?" ”
Rong smiled lightly and said: "After a round of screening, the rest is basically good, and today should be to see new ideas." But the pursuit of novelty is too much, and it is certainly not good if there is no taste. ”
Ruiyang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of yesterday's medicinal diet, who would have thought that the good one would be so amazing, and the bad one would be a headache, but today should be much better.
Rong gently walked to Song Yumo and sat down, and then said in a low voice: "It's pumpkin soup." ”
Song Yumo's eyes suddenly lit up.
Pumpkin soup was made by Yang Tao and Zhang Yi, and the two of them almost got the proposition of autumn, and the first time they thought of making pumpkin soup was to make pumpkin soup.
They have made this pumpkin soup before, and they have also eaten it, and it tastes good, but if you want to stand out in it, you still need more ingenuity.
Today's cooking is faster than yesterday's, because the medicinal food has to be boiled slowly, so it makes people wait for a long time, and today's autumn-themed dish is that after the ingredients are ready, you can fire directly.
The brilliant sparks, the stir-fried dishes in the iron pot, and the delicious smell spread out with the wind, which made people can't help but appetize. Everyone has their favorite dish, and they all stare at it in the moment, for fear of missing the beautiful moment of sparks licking the dish in the blink of an eye.
Today's storyteller's status is a little embarrassing, everyone is staring at the dishes, so he stopped and didn't say anything, and just followed everyone to read it, anyway, now there are several reservations in the teahouse, and the bookstore is selling even better, and Young Master Zhao also said that he will share it.
Banxia had already been waiting with someone, and when the first person raised his hand to signal, he also raised his hand to let the person behind him start preparing.
After a while, Banxia led the people and brought up the thirty-seven dishes this time.
Because they are all based on the theme of autumn, at a glance, the proportion of melons, fruits and vegetables is very high, and one of the dishes made of pumpkin as utensils immediately attracted Song Yumo's attention. Xiao Yunjing looked funny, so he ordered someone to put the pumpkin soup in front of Song Yumo.
Ruiyang glanced at it, hooked his lips and smiled with satisfaction.
This evaluation is a little more difficult than yesterday's, yesterday is easy to distinguish between good and bad, today is a little difficult, because of the difference in personal taste, so there will be different judgments on the dishes. This time, not only Rong lightly but also the five judges below struggled for a long time before making a judgment.
At the end of the second round of the autumn-themed competition, Qin Yuwan announced that a total of twenty people had been eliminated.
The ratio of twenty people was too high, so high that everyone in the audience was confused, but they were soon attracted by the red silk cloth that Rong gently carried over.
It turned out that it was because these twenty people were really good at cooking, but there was still a gap between them and the twelve who won, so one person divided thirty taels, which was counted as hard work, and encouraged them to make persistent efforts and fight again next year.
After dealing with these things, Qin Yuwan announced the content of the last day of the competition, and as soon as this content came out, not only the onlookers, but even Ruiyang and Xiao Yunjing on the second floor were a little surprised.
In the third round of the competition, a dish is made with wild vegetables, provided that no meat can be used, and wild vegetables exist as the main body.
Three years ago, there was a flood disaster that caused countless people to leave their hometowns and go to Kyoto, eating the wild vegetables they dug up along the way, and then the water receded, and people went back.
So this last competition, after discussing with Qin Yuwan, Rong gently felt that it was still ending with wild vegetables, which was also a reminder not to forget that time, to cherish and save food, and not to be extravagant and wasteful.
Song Yumo briefly introduced Rong Qing's intentions on the second floor, and everyone was immediately moved.
Yin Sheng said with a smile: "Actually, wild vegetables taste good, refreshing and refreshing, but if they are used as the main material, how to match them to win the competition, you have to think about it." ”
Xiao Yunjing nodded, he hadn't tasted wild vegetables, but he could feel it tomorrow.
Today's game ended quickly, and Rong Qing was more relaxed than yesterday, and after dealing with everything, he returned to Lu Mansion.
Rong lightly sat in a carriage with Qin Yuwan, talking about the games of the past few days, and also about the reactions of those nobles on the second floor.
Qin Yuwan grabbed Rong Qing's hand and said, "It's a pity that Chengyan is busy with something, and you are really hard alone." ”
Rong shook his head lightly and said, "I'm not tired, and my husband and Li'an are also in a hurry." As for Lu Chengyan's coming to her yesterday, Rong Qingqing didn't plan to tell her mother-in-law, not because she couldn't believe it, but because she was worried, no one knew what this old fox would do if she found out, so the less people knew, the better.
In addition, if the clues this time can really let them find out more useful information, then the thousands of soldiers who died on the border can rest in complete peace.
"I didn't expect that this food competition would attract them all." Qin Yuwan said.
Rong Qingqing knew that what her mother-in-law was talking about was the eldest princess of Ruiyang and His Royal Highness the Prince, as for why they came, it was because Song Yumo must be fake. And to put it bluntly, this food contest is for the sake of liveliness, and because this food contest is being held for the first time, the place is still not big enough, but even if it is bigger and more lively, they will not necessarily surrender their identity to come and see the excitement.
"It may be that our Lu government also has the capital to be co-opted." Rong guessed lightly.
Qin Yuwan nodded and said, "You're right, whether it's the Bai Shen Doctor and Li Yuanzheng of the Lu Mansion, or your business, the ability to do things, including our talent center, and the various apprentices, has made the Lu Mansion valuable...... This value is not because of the protection left by Lao Dingguogong, but because of your ability, which once again made the Lu Mansion glow, so we will be co-opted. But since we have decided to stand on the prince's side at the beginning, let's stick to the end and see if God lets us win. ”
Rong whispered softly, "We're definitely going to win, we're definitely going to win." ”
