Chapter 47: The Contest Begins
The cooking competition came as scheduled, because Xiangyang had long been publicized, and Zhu Yuan was quite famous in Huainan itself, so there were many people who came to watch the game.
The audience was full of voices, but Zhu Yuan was not affected in the slightest, Ning Bosheng looked sideways at Zhu Yuan's still calm face, and said in surprise: "Aren't you a little nervous?" Fame or not depends on today! ”
Zhu Yuan said while wiping the knife in his hand: "Nervous, don't you see me wiping the knife?" ”
Ning Bosheng's calm face cracked slightly, and he quickly collected his expression and looked at the other side. The county lord of Xiangyang is commanding Hengshen arrogantly, still looking arrogant.
Lan Ruo in the back saw King Rui glance this way, and she hurriedly reminded her county lord to pay attention to her image.
"County Lord, King Rui is looking this way! You have to leave a good impression in his heart, not to mention that the Queen Mother and the Emperor are here! ”
Xiangyang hurriedly collected his expression, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the non-existent sweat on his head in the best posture.
She said to Heng Shen quietly: "If you can't win her, don't want your recipe!" ”
"Don't worry, this little girl won't be my opponent!"
"Hmph, remember what you said!"
Zhu Yuan finished wiping his knife, squinted his eyes and looked at Heng Shen on the opposite side, and he could see that Heng Shen on the other side didn't care much about himself. She smiled slightly, what she wanted was for him to despise herself, and then she would be able to surprise him!
The competition stipulates that the time for making dishes is a stick of incense, so neither of them can make particularly complicated dishes, and Zhu Yuan plans to make a pepper chicken, which is a home-cooked Sichuan dish. If you want to win with such an ordinary dish, unless you make a flower out of this pepper chicken.
What Heng Shen is doing today is his specialty dish - simmered whitebait, using fresh whitebait to add chicken soup and ham, it is a freshest dish, this dish tests the control of firepower, and Zhu Yuan's dishes are contrary to the original taste of food, and one greatly stimulates people's tongues, at this time it depends on the preferences of the taste.
The dishes of the two were presented to the queen mother and the emperor together, Heng Shen wiped his hands with the white towel next to him, and then said to Zhu Yuan: "It seems that Miss Zhu is very sure of herself, but this is just a home-cooked dish, if Miss Zhu loses in the first game, her face is not very good-looking!" ”
"Mr. Heng is confident in himself, neither the Queen Mother nor the Emperor have tasted it, do you already know the result?"
As soon as Zhu Yuan finished speaking, the eunuch on the stage said loudly: "In the first game, I wish Yuan victory!" ”
Heng Shen looked at Zhu Yuan fiercely, and said in disbelief: "But a pepper chicken, how can you win?" ”
"Mr. Heng laughed, although pepper chicken is a home-cooked dish, but we also have to see who makes this dish!"
Zhu Yuan smiled extremely proudly, she arched her hand at Hengshen and said, "Agreed!" I'm going to prepare a second course! ”
Zhu Yuan walked off the stage with a smile on his face, and the oncoming Que Huan did not have a smile after victory, but a sad face.
"Girl, the ingredients for our next dish have been ruined!"
Zhu Yuan pursed his lips and asked, "Ruined?" What do you mean? ”
Que Huan took Zhu Yuan to the place where the ingredients were placed, and it was already a mess. The ingredients and seasonal vegetables have been crushed, and the most important thing is that the fish to be used in the next dish has been cut a few times by someone who doesn't know who has scratched it, and it looks like it is already dead! This dish requires the use of live fish.
Que Huan's eyes were red, with a self-reproachful expression, "It's all my fault, I was in a hurry just now, I didn't pay attention to these ingredients, and I was taken advantage of, those people can't win the girl, you, you are secretly playing tricks, it's really despicable!" ”
Ning Bosheng's eyes were also worried, "Do you still have spare ingredients?" It doesn't seem to be comparable! Why don't you play the second game tomorrow? I'll go talk to the emperor and the queen mother. ”
Zhu Yuan shook his head, "Since I ruined my ingredients just to make me unable to win today, the county lord will definitely not agree to compete in the second game tomorrow!" ”
Zhu Yuan immediately said: "I'll go home and get it right now." ”
"I'm going to help you buy time. It's just the time for a stick of incense at most, so be careful on your way! ”
Zhu Yuan rode a horse and rushed to the fish restaurant, in fact, there is no fish in the fish restaurant, it is all in her space, this fish is generally difficult to see, she originally planned to add points to herself with rare ingredients, but she didn't expect them to ruin their own ingredients, I'm afraid they are already afraid of themselves!
Zhu Yuan returned to the fish restaurant, went directly into the kitchen, took it casually, she waved it on the barrel, and the water and fish were poured into the barrel together.
Zhu Yuan returned to the test field when he had a stick of incense, and Heng Shen on the field had already started cooking in an orderly manner, and it seemed that he had been doing it for a long time!
Que Huan said while handing the new ingredients to Zhu Yuan: "Girl, you only have time left for the next stick of incense now, is it too late?" ”
"It's definitely in time, you're looking down here!"
Zhu Yuan walked to the stage with the ingredients, and was pulled by King Rui halfway, Zhu Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him for no reason.
"Come on!"
The emperor and the queen mother saw that Zhu Yuan had come back and began to cook in an orderly manner, "This girl is calm!" ”
The emperor nodded: "She is also smart, the ingredients of the last dish are clever and bold, and a home-cooked dish also makes her make a different taste." ”
Zhu Yuan in the audience didn't know that she had been praised, although the time was enough, but after all, it was a delay, and now I'm afraid it's a bit rushed, and it's impossible to finish this fish grill steadily!
Zhu Yuan was immersed in her own world, time flew by, and by the time she sliced the fish into thin slices, the half-burnt incense had already been burned, and Heng Shen had already begun to set the dishes on the plate, and her side was about to start firing.
Ning Bosheng was a little worried, and this game seemed to be a bit hanging.
"Is this dish still done? The county lord of Xiangyang is already about to finish loading the plates, Zhu Yuan's dish has just been cooked? Zhuo Ge followed behind Ning Bosheng, and he looked at Zhu Yuan's second dish, which was enough!
"Our girl will definitely be able to do it, she told me before she went on the field that she would definitely be able to do it, and she never said anything that she was not sure about!" Bird smacked Zhuo Ge.
"I don't have much left!"
"Would you love to see our girl lose? Why are you like this? "Que Huan doesn't know why Zhuo Ge sings about their girls, but this person with intuition is really annoying!
Zhuo Ge retorted: "I'm just telling the truth, and I've been silent for a long time!" ”
Zhuo Ge snorted coldly, and the finch was cheering, but the master of King Rui was here, and she couldn't scold in front of King Rui!
At this time, Ning Bosheng looked at Zhuo Ge with a cold eye, "If you are so noisy, you will go back to the house to feed the horses!" ”
Rui Wang spoke, Zhuo Ge could only close his mouth and quietly watch the progress of Zhu Yuan's cooking on the stage.
