"The Queen Mother, the time has come, the participants are ready, and the servants are hereby requesting." Haigong said.

The Queen Mother is good at maintenance on weekdays, and her skin is like congealed fat, but she looks younger than the several meritorious countesses present. Fortunately, the Queen Mother was already dignified, and she wore a wide robe woven with purple brocade in Qushui, which was amiable to watch. "That's already the case, let's get started."

The eunuch Hai Gonggong got the order, so he retired and announced the decree.

"The Queen Mother has a purpose, the people take food as the sky, one side of the water and soil and one person, one side of the cooking skills of the world, now the Cathay Pacific is safe, enjoy the peace and prosperity of the world, in response to the call of the people, the special organization of the "world's first chef" kitchen competition, this competition is the preliminary round, 36 references, from which five outstanding chefs were selected, the day after tomorrow to participate in the final competition, the winner will get the title of "the world's first chef", the Queen Mother also carefully prepared a prize. All the famous positions have taken out their housekeeping skills, made exquisite dishes, and fought for the title of "the world's first chef". ”

Xiao Qiming, as a member of the Ministry of Rites, temporarily acted as an uncle and waiter, and was an upstart, dignified in appearance and extraordinary appearance, so he was recommended as the "Supervision History" and host of the competition.

After Hai Gonggong finished speaking, he gestured to him.

"The rules of this competition are as follows: divided into three rounds, each round is 12 for the competition, each two families share a stove, and each family makes two dishes and one soup. All the ingredients are ready, and each family can pick up their own ingredients. Please send someone to the official to draw lots. ”

After Xiao Qiming finished speaking, the palace maid brought up the bamboo sticks prepared in advance.

The audience was in an uproar: Isn't this leaking his secret recipe? But he didn't dare to disobey Yi's decree and lost the qualification for the competition, so he had to send someone to draw lots.

On Lin Mei's side, Qiu Zilong has been gearing up, eager to try, and took the initiative to ask for help.

People who love to laugh are not bad luck, and they really made him hit the No. 3 stove in the first round. Holding the sign, he smiled triumphantly at the two: "Master, you can also find a daughter-in-law for me when I go back this time." ”

Lin Mei smiled and glanced at him, "Why, you are red-eyed." ”

Qiu Zilong smiled, "You can't hide anything from your master." I'm only two years younger than Brother Hai, and now I'm seventeen, and it's time to ask for a daughter-in-law. ”

"Win the game first, go back and then talk about it, can you remember all the ingredients you just told the two of you? When you two choose dishes for a while, but take less of each and take a few more, we have to take precautions. ”

Qiu Zilong suddenly realized and glanced at Ah Qing.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The drum sounded, Xiao Qiming counted the lottery results in his hand, and announced: "In this competition, one hour is limited, please go to their respective tables according to the players in the first round of the lottery and send someone to receive the ingredients." Players who are not in the turn are invited to the back pavilion for tea and rest. ”

Competing in the palace is different, everything is carefully considered, and there are palace people who have prepared snacks, fruits and soup tea in the pavilion.

Lin Mei saw that he was on the same stage with Dou Dezhu of Tianxianglou, and there was no one for this luck, the so-called etiquette is not to blame, not to mention that Lin Mei is a junior, so she took the initiative to give a gift, "I heard that Master Dou has superb cooking skills, excellent craftsmanship, unique ingenuity, and is good at using flowers into dishes, and has a good reputation, and the little woman is beyond reach." ”

Dou Dezhu has a simple temperament and a kind nature, and when he was in Luoyang, he couldn't get used to seeing other restaurants deliberately making things difficult for a weak woman, but he was looking forward to it for a long time to be able to have a fair discussion with her this time.

"Miss Lin is polite, if you can appear here, it means that you are a superb cook, let's all try it hard." Dou Dezhu said with a smile.

Xiao Mingqi saw that the people from various families had already taken the ingredients, so he sounded the gong and drum.

At the beginning of the competition, all the contestants were busy, Lin Mei asked Qiu Zilong to take hens and big bones to boil broth, Ah Qing was responsible for the work of the dunzi, and he first made a soup for nourishing his face - Guiqi black chicken soup. This is also Lin Mei's thought and selection in the whole recipe, the Queen Mother is the mother of a country, what kind of delicious food has never been seen and eaten, but if there is a soup that is both beautiful and beautiful, there must be something that can attract the attention of her old man.

Hearing that the Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, Lin Mei moved a lot of thoughts, before coming is to prepare a "boiling water cabbage", but only 5 of the 36 families, if you do not work the modeling, it is difficult to arouse the attention of the nobles, and temporarily changed to "Buddha's Hand Guanyin Lotus", which is also based on cabbage as the main material, with shrimp meat, fish, ham, dried shrimp, salted egg yolk and broth to enhance the taste, cooked by steaming, that is, to maintain the original flavor of the dish, light and sweet, its appearance is vivid and vivid, elegant atmosphere.

The other dish is also the same outstanding dish, called Red Plum Zhuxiang, which is one of the dishes of the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets, mainly based on pigeon eggs and prawns, supplemented by lean ham, sea rice, mouth grinding, and dried scallop chopping. This dish is bright in color, fresh and fragrant in taste, refreshing and palatable, needless to say, the shrimp ball is silver and red like plum, and the pigeon egg is white like a pearl, it can be selected into the famous dish of the palace, and it has its own style.

In the process of the game, every step must be taken precautions, the most important thing is to be afraid that something will go wrong in the process of passing the dishes, who knows if those palace maids will be bought, or used by others, in case something goes wrong after the nobles eat it, it will be a disaster to destroy the door, so each dish will leave a small portion for backup.

The chef outside was busy, but the nobles in the Linxi Pavilion were arguing over how to choose the evaluation.

"Since the lady doesn't agree with the princess's idea, then you should come up with an idea and let everyone listen to it." Princess Xianyi said sullenly, turning her head to look at the queen who was shaking her head at herself.

"What do you think you think if you want me to say that it would be fair to wait until all the chefs have cooked it and then have a competition?" Concubine Shu was not polite and said directly.

Sima's heart was revealed, and Princess Xianyi snorted: "It's fair, if all the dishes are cooked and then evaluated, won't the contestants in the first round suffer?" If you want me to see it, it's just that Fan Lou didn't make it in the first round. ”

The queen mother was a headache by the two of them, and when she saw the best lively county lord of Jiaoyue on weekdays, she sat quietly and bowed her head silently, not knowing what to think again, and interrupted: "What do you want to say about Jiaoyue, you have a lot of ghost ideas, you can tell me, how should this be selected, so as to be fair?" ”

The county lord of Jiaoyue wanted to be engrossed, and when he heard his name, he hurriedly got up and listened to the training, "This, this, I have heard of a method, but I don't know if it can be done?" ”

The Queen Mother was surprised when she heard it, "Come and listen, let everyone hear if it can be done." ”

"It is a cooking competition, which must be judged from four aspects: color, aroma, taste and beauty; But if you want to wait for all the dishes to be cooked, but it seems a little unfair, in order to show fairness, justice and openness, we can count each round by voting, and wait for the three rounds to vote together, and then compare the voting amount of each family, naturally the most votes will win. “

"Oh, that's a good idea, lest some people fish in muddy waters. Sister Jiaoyue, tell me how to cast the law. Princess Xianyi was excited, this is a good way to do it at the same time.

The county lord of Jiaoyue was stunned, this method was still heard from Lin Mei, as for the specific casting method? Seeing the untouched longan on the table, the idea moved, and there was, "Otherwise, let's use this longan to vote, each person can only take four pieces in their hands, representing the color, fragrance, taste, and beauty, let's start with the color, fragrance, and beauty, if you think that the dish is the most fragrant, the most beautiful, and the most outstanding, let's vote separately, and finally taste it, and the last one is naturally voted for the most delicious one." I also hope that the Queen Mother will allow a few empty bowls to be prepared in front of each dish to be used for longan. ”
