"After hearing what the county lord said, the combination of meat and vegetables, the shade is appropriate, I came up with this idea, but I have not practiced it before, if the taste of this dish is not satisfactory, please be tolerant and teach, Qin Feng will definitely listen to it humbly."

These words are not leaky, no one is offended, no one is pleased, but only modest and polite, gentle and appropriate.

After saying this, the dishes of the five chefs were also divided, and Ruan Mianmian also shared one in front of her, but she didn't try Qin Feng's bipolar soup first, but poked Li Binghai's dish with her chopsticks, he didn't give this dish an accurate name from beginning to end, but looking at his arrogant and confident expression, this dish is by no means as simple as braised chicken thighs, there must be something else.

"Chef Li Binghai, Mianmian wants to ask, can you introduce your dishes, Mianmian doesn't have much knowledge, and his knowledge is shallow, if you move chopsticks without understanding, I'm afraid you will tarnish this dish."

Ruan Mianmian asked the first question, and also asked the questions of everyone in the audience, so many people echoed and looked at Li Binghai together, waiting for his explanation.

"It is worthy of the famous one-product fragrant food broadcast, Miss Ruan is really not a mortal, she only knows how to look at the surface, whether this dish is good or not, where is it good, if you say it directly, it will be less of a surprise, and please everyone here, as well as Miss Ruan, try it first, and I will not be too late to talk about it then." Li Binghai stroked his beard and was proud.

Seeing that Li Binghai was still selling Guanzi, and did not tell himself directly, Ruan Mianmian was not angry, but smiled more brightly, the more arrogant Li Binghai's attitude was, it showed that his works were more confident, since this was the case, then he could stay in Yipinxiang more justifiably.

Ruan Mianmian first picked up a chicken leg, and the thick brown sauce stained on the chicken leg dripped down drop by drop, looking extremely attractive. Ruan Mianmian took a bite of the chicken skin first, and sure enough, the aroma was strong, the chicken skin was soft and fragrant, and after a stirring of the high-quality sauce, that kind of delicacy was even more pervasive, and the almost melt-in-your-mouth taste also made Ruan Mianmian smart, and his eyes were a little brighter.

However, although the chicken thighs are delicious, they are still the taste that chicken should have, that is, it is a little more fragrant, but it can't eat anything, Ruan Mianmian swallowed the chicken skin in his mouth, and took another bite of the exposed snow-white chicken.

This chicken looks the same to the naked eye, the texture is clear, the meat is white and tender, and it contains a full amount of soup, perhaps the thick soup wrapped outside is too bright, but it makes this meat as sacred and white as the 10,000-year-old ice and snow on the top of the mountain.

took a bite of the chicken in his mouth, but Ruan Mianmian suddenly fluttered his eyelashes twice, chewed two mouthfuls with some doubts, and after swallowing it, he tasted it for a while, and then raised his head and asked, "This trick, but on this chicken?" I thought it was just an ordinary chicken thigh, but when I ate it in my mouth, the texture was loose and tender, not like the feeling of ordinary chicken thigh, and the meat even had some seafood umami, which was really strange. ”

"Miss Ruan knows that this chicken is one of the essences of this dish, although this dish looks like ordinary chicken thighs, but there is no chicken in this meat at all. These meats are minced with crab legs and crab paste, plus chives and cabbage chopped into fine dices, plus an appropriate amount of water and evenly, and then made into the texture of chicken thighs, attached to the bones, and then wrapped in the chicken skin completely peeled from the chicken legs, and then steamed in a steamer. In this process, the aroma of the chicken skin is integrated into the 'chicken', and the layers of the taste of the 'chicken' are fed back to the chicken skin, so that the steamed chicken thighs have a unique flavor, and they meet the question given by Miss Ruan. ”

"Yo, Chef Li said with a smile, your recipe for this dish seems to be a vegetarian meal only available in the palace, it is not easy to learn, we are a small family, but a folk restaurant, how can we make such exquisite dishes? But speaking of which, where did Chef Li learn this craft? Ruan Mianmian's eyes were bent into crescents with a smile, but his heart was cold, Yipinxiang gave him a chance, but he wanted to compete with Yipinxiang.

Even if Uncle Hua made this dish, or even made it better, Ruan Mianmian couldn't answer, so he could only let Li Binghai have the upper hand in a pint of incense. However, Ruan Mianmian was not very happy, so he threw this thorny problem to Li Binghai and saw how he got over.

Li Binghai wanted to see Ruan Mianmian's jokes, but he didn't think that she would ask herself first, so she smiled wryly and replied: "Miss Ruan has been promoted, but I used to wander around to learn cooking, and I learned it from a monk in a temple, and I polished and modified it myself. ”

Speaking of the words of the imperial kitchen in the imperial dining room, Li Binghai gritted his teeth, these two words were more serious, but except for the people who knew the inside story of Yipinxiang, no one else could hear it.

Seeing Li Binghai deflated, Ruan Mianmian was also happy, just talking to them, the strength of the chopsticks in her hand unconsciously increased, but suddenly heard a crisp sound, the chicken leg bone caught by her chopsticks actually broke in half and fell on the plate, splashing up two drops of greasy soup quickly smudged and layered on the fabric of her cuffs, she didn't care about wiping it, only opened her mouth wide to look at the broken chicken leg bones on the plate.

Mu Ruqing was watching upstairs at the moment, and also showed a surprised look, I haven't heard of any kind of chicken in ancient times that has particularly brittle bones, it stands to reason that no matter how thin the chicken leg bones are, they are also bones, naturally they are hard and not easy to break, and it is also unusual for the bones to be broken by Ruan Mianmian's chopsticks, could it be that this chicken just has osteoporosis?

Ruan Mianmian was close, all her attention was focused on this bone, she quickly noticed that although the appearance of the bone was not unusual, the cross-section of the fracture was ivory white, and it was extremely smooth, and it looked moist, and there was even a place where the slender and crystalline filaments were pulled, she immediately thought of a possibility, since the chicken thigh meat can be fake, the chicken bone may not be the real chicken bone, besides, Li Binghai also said that the chicken thigh meat is just one of the surprises of this dish, The rest of the surprise can only be explained by this chicken bone.

Without hesitation, he picked up the chicken bone and ate it in his mouth, just by chewing it, Ruan Mianmian was sure that his judgment was not wrong, and Li Binghai once again fooled everyone's eyes with the truth. This chicken bone is sweet and crisp in the mouth, fragrant, and has a unique flavor that only crispy lotus root has.

Ruan Mianmian sighed: "Chef Li is so meticulous that I didn't even notice it. Such a vegetarian chicken leg, I think there is no better than you in the whole capital, don't you say? ”

The guests in the audience immediately coaxed and threw the silk flowers in their hands on the stage, which was an expression of appreciation, which shows how eye-catching Li Binghai's dish is.

After tasting the dishes one by one, Liu Xin'er still counted the votes on the spot, but most of the fifty votes went to Qin Feng and Li Binghai, and the votes of the other three chefs were pitiful, but the difference in strength was huge, and such a result was expected.

In the end, after statistics, Qin Feng had twenty-one votes and Li Binghai had twenty-one votes, and the two of them were equal, and it was difficult to tell which was the leader today.

Ruan Mianmian nodded secretly, sure enough, this is the case, although Li Binghai's vegetarian chicken leg is out of the limelight, but Qin Feng's bipolar soup is still not bad, and it was introduced first, and it is the first to take the lead, now it seems that the two of them can definitely not win the first place at the same time, so there is destined to be a person who will temporarily give up this name.

Ruan Mianmian smiled and looked around, as if he didn't look at anyone specifically, but his knuckles knocked on the table casually, and then he withdrew his hand from his sleeve and got up without leaking. According to the rules of the competition, she will personally present commemorative trophies and gifts to the leader of the competition.

Qin Feng didn't have much joy on his face, but was humble and polite, gentle and respectful. He slowly walked in front of Li Binghai, bowed his head, and made enough gestures for his juniors: "Senior Li, the younger generation doesn't understand the rules, and his qualifications are still shallow, but these votes are obtained by opportunism, Senior Li's vegetarian chicken leg Qin Feng is ashamed of himself, and he is willing to give up the leader, if not, Qin Feng is uneasy, and he also asks Senior Li to come forward to receive the leader's gift." ”

Li Binghai smiled in return, Qin Feng's humility naturally gave him enough face, and he would also seize this opportunity, so after slightly arching his hand, he walked to the front proudly, Ruan Mianmian also happened to come over with the trophy, she first glanced at Qin Feng who did not change his face behind without a trace, and then walked to Li Binghai's side and solemnly handed over the heavy trophy in his hand to him.

This trophy is not a vulgar thing, it is made by the department that specializes in building weapons in the army personally contacted by Mu Ruqing and Anyang Hou, with brass gilt, which looks dazzling, brilliant, and noble, and the entire trophy is carved into the image of a cylindrical board with a kitchen knife obliquely inserted, and a line of small words is engraved on the side of the board: The leader of the first chef competition of Yipinxiang.

After the trophy was awarded, a delicate little maid came up with a tray covered with red satin, and Ruan Mianmian lifted the red silk with her hand, revealing the prize below, a delicate cold iron kitchen knife. The so-called iron is the forged steel with extremely high purity that Mu Ruqing said, and the blades of this knife are all made of cold iron, and every angle seems to be shrouded in a layer of cold light, and the end is extremely sharp.
