Chapter 173: Exchanging Ingredients
On the third day of the registration for the Luoyang event, it was here in a blink of an eye.
Due to the large number of participants and onlookers, the venue of the competition is located in Dingding Gate, and the venue is also large.
The shopkeeper of Qianwei Building Liang stared at Lin Mei and the others in the front row, and his teeth itched angrily: Uncle He, see how long you can be proud this time.
Lin Mei looked at the famous Dingding Gate in the future, the three-door road beam building structure, the doorway pier is about ten meters high, the two sides are connected to the elongated building, the whole scene is arranged in the open space in front of the Dingding Gate, in order to make the competition go smoothly, Yin Fu posted a notice as early as the end of the registration, during the competition, the Dingding Gate was closed for three days.
The dignitaries and nobles watched the competition on the left and right sides of the tower, and the pergola about ten meters long temporarily erected on the left side of the open space should be the judges' platform. There are several small pergolas on the right side of the clearing, which should be the resting place of the families of high-ranking officials and nobles. In the center of the open space are ten stoves, divided into two rows, five in a row, and there are two square tables next to each stove, and the kitchen utensils, cutting boards, pots and pans have already been placed on the square tables. Benches are placed in the back row of the open space so that the contestants can rest and wait, and there are officers and soldiers in the back area, and the onlookers are not allowed to trespass.
"The time has come, the competition is about to begin, please participate in the competition of the representatives of the restaurants to the stage to draw lots, the competition lasts for three days. The numbers drawn by the delegates today will be the order of the first round, and the top 10 will be selected today. Contestants bring their own ingredients and condiments, and cook one meat and one vegetable as the entry work, and the cooking method is not limited. ”
Lin Mei sent Lin Hai to draw lots for the representative of Hongxing Building and won the 23rd.
"Alas, if you knew earlier, let your cousin go, the more you get to the front, the greater the chance, and the back ones are at the bottom." Lin Hai said with great annoyance.
"It's okay, as long as our craftsmanship is good, I'm not afraid that the judges won't know the goods." Lin Mei comforted.
Qiu Zilong was bold and said with a smile: "If Brother Hai Zi is afraid, then I will do it for you, don't you just eat meat and vegetables, and you will be sure to get nine out of ten." “
"Just you? Come on, you must know that there is a sky outside the world, and there are people outside the world, so don't play a big knife in front of the master. Lin Hai glared at him.
Speaking of which, Lin Mei is their master, but Lin Mei doesn't like others to call herself like this, and she seems to be very old.
Lin Mei was full of confidence and said with a smile: "Okay, this is only the first round, there is no problem for you, Zilong will give you a hand in a while, and I will watch it for you on the side." ”
As he was talking, the host just now began to announce: "The good day has arrived, please draw the top ten contestants to enter the venue." ”
"Go, inquire, what restaurants will be in the next round?" Lin Mei said to Tong Fugui beside her.
Tong Fugui nodded in response, gave a hint to the shopkeeper of Uncle Tong, and turned to leave.
"Look at it, the first place is Fan Lou, and the second is Tianxiang Building, these two appeared so early, I'm afraid there are only eight places."
"Oh my God, look, which restaurant is that, the chef's knife skills are so good, that fish fillet can be as thin as a cicada's wings, I'm afraid there will be fewer places."
The people watched excitedly, screaming, cheering, discussing, and even scolding mixed together, so lively.
Soon there were results in the first round, and there were four of them in this round, but when she saw the fourth Qianwei Building, Lin Mei instantly had doubts in her heart, the first Fan Building, the second day Xianglou was just that, there was a backstage and a history, and the top two could be drawn. Regardless of whether there is a background or not, the third fish village is already convincing with the pieces of fish fillets that are as thin as cicada wings. The fourth in line is actually Qianwei Building, judging from the chef's preparation, it should be a roast duck, which is against the honey roast duck prepared by Hongxing Building, but the vegetarian dish is just a plate of simple cabbage stewed tofu is also over?
"In the second round, please draw the contestants from the 11th to the 20th."
Tong Fugui finally squeezed in, walked to Lin Mei's side, and whispered: "Master, this round of competition includes Piaoxian Pavilion, Weixiangxian, Longcui Pavilion, Meishan Building, Yongyazhuang, Manjing Building, Liujia Restaurant, Zuixiang Building, Delicious Building, and Piaoxiang Building." I heard that there are two restaurants that also make roast duck. ”
Lin Mei sighed in her heart, it's bad, there are three restaurants that make roast duck in the first two rounds, even if their honey roast duck tastes good, it also loses its color, if you are a judge, you are afraid that you are too lazy to move chopsticks, "You immediately contact the restaurant that was not selected in the previous round, see if they have more ingredients, no matter what it is, you can find a way to buy it." Just go! ”
Lin Hai saw Tong Fugui leaving in a hurry, and suddenly felt uneasy, "Cousin, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, you watch the game and help you with your cooking skills. You look at the chef who is sixth in the row, the meat dishes are chicken, and the vegetarian dishes are several kinds of mushrooms. ”
"Oh, that's what the master said." Shopkeeper Tong explained on the side.
"So, there's only five places left? Cousin, I feel so stressed, otherwise, you should go on, and I will give you a hand. "Lin Hai participated in the competition for the first time, and he was very unconfident.
Lin Mei was worried about her semi-finished product of roast duck with honey sauce, and she didn't know if it would be too late to replace it at this time, but she didn't want to tell everyone clearly, for fear that everyone would also lose confidence, so she nodded and said: "Let's talk about it later, if you are still very nervous after you play, let me come." ”
Lin Mei looked back a few times, but she didn't see Tong Fugui's figure, and she was a little deflated, could she just admit defeat? Inadvertently, I found that the shopkeeper of Qianwei Building behind me was peeping here, with a smug look on his face.
A thought flashed through Lin Mei's mind, and at this time, the results of the second round had already come out.
"In the second round, Zuixiang Building, Longcui Pavilion, Yongyazhuang, Manjinglou, four passed, and now there are two places left, please prepare the remaining nine participating restaurants."
At this time, there is still no figure of Tong Fugui, and Lin Mei is also out of the way, so let's go on her own, at least most of them are still in control.
"Oops......"
Lin Mei turned around, only to see that the guy from the restaurant had knocked over the vegetable basket, and the spare eggs were shattered.
"Master, what should I do, this ingredient is missing, but it will be counted as a waiver." The guy was so scared that he was about to cry.
"Why are you so careless, you can't do this little thing well, you just wait for the owner to sell your feet."
Lin Mei saw the opportunity and said tentatively: "This little brother is afraid that he is nervous and broke it, I don't know if this big brother wants to fish?" ”
"That's not it, the fish is just a spare, this guy often loses three times and four, I'm afraid that he will lose the ingredients, so I prepare a copy of each chicken, duck and fish, but I forgot to tell him to take the eggs, how is this good."
As soon as Lin Mei heard it, she knew that there was a play, and smiled: "This is really a coincidence, my guy is also a bad brain, yesterday I told him to bring a prepared fish and duck, but unfortunately when he left today, he only took the duck and pulled the fish at home." When I got here, I remembered that I asked him to get it quickly, but there was no one to see at this time. Since your house is a spare, it must not be used, but my eggs are sufficient, or let's change them. That way, you don't have to worry about being waived. ”
