Chapter Twenty-Three: The Turnip Feast
"Ladies and gentlemen, please turn on the autonomous driving system of Damaha Motors, we have set the destination, and now we are going to the place where you will participate."
Autopilot?
Hearing this, Yin Xiaoyue was slightly excited.
After learning to drive twice, Yin Xiaoyue decided to give up after hearing about the advent of self-driving cars.
The car was driving on the road, and the differential was blowing in from the outside.
Yin Xiaoyue's hair on her forehead was blown up, and she saw the car gradually enter the suburbs from the city center, and gradually farmland appeared in front of her.
Wang Xingfu and Xiao Xiaomei were in the car behind Yin Xiaoyue.
Five of them were women, three of them were older ones sitting in the back, and all three of them were housewives who liked to cook in their spare time.
I didn't expect to enter the semi-finals, and even they were surprised.
When women sit together, they like to be short.
They quickly became acquainted, from the children's grades to the husband's salary, from where to go to get their hair done, to this year's pie to overcome a wide range of price increases.
Wang Xingfu and Xiao Xiaomei couldn't listen to a word.
Damaha Automobile's automatic driving system is still quite stable, and Wang Xingfu yawned.
She had been thinking too much about things last night, and she hadn't rested well.
Leaning on the seat, she didn't sleep, but turned her head to look at Xiao Xiaomei.
This girl knows Yin Xiaoyue.
Their relationship seems to be okay.
So, she asked tentatively:
"You, also from Luochuan?"
Xiao Xiaomei nodded: "Yes." ”
"Then ......" Wang Xingfu thought for a while and asked, "You are very familiar with Yin Xiaoyue, right?" ”
"We're neighbors."
"I heard that her shop was also passed on to her by her father?"
"Seems to be."
"Who is her dad? Where have you gone now? ”
"Her father's name is Yin Weimin, and now he seems to have traveled around the world......"
"Oh......"
Yin Xiaoyue glanced back at the car following behind, the self-driving Damaha car, driving forward in a neat arrangement. There are a total of ten before and after, and there are drones in the sky to assist in shooting, and the whole scene is full of foreign atmosphere.
The convoy stopped at a farmland.
After Yin Xiaoyue got out of the car, there were a lot of open-air kitchens built on the open space of the Kanjia farmland, which should be prepared for them and the players.
In the fields, at a glance, they are green.
Yin Xiaoyue and Chen Yufei didn't know what it was, they only saw large leaves, like thick-skinned vegetables and green vegetables.
After asking the plush jade, I found out that those green ones were the Yinzi of the big white radish.
I only heard her say: "Last year, radishes were expensive, and the wholesale price was two for a piece." The peasants saw the sweetness, and they all planted it this year, but this time it was unsalable, and no one bought a dime or a pound in the field. ”
The two of them sighed, and they understood.
Sure enough, the host came forward to explain the game arrangement.
As plush jade said, radishes are unsalable this year.
A large area was about to be stopped in the field, and it was very uncomfortable to watch the white flowers of silver hit the scoop. In order to expand the sales of radish, in line with the purpose of benefiting the country and the people, the program team asked everyone to make the most delicious radish dishes.
Five contestants in each group cooperated, and everyone worked together to make a table of 12-course feast with turnips.
These twelve dishes require that the protagonist must be a radish, and it must be innovative and unusual.
It needs to taste good and make it enjoyable for everyone.
The time to finish the race is 12 o'clock in the afternoon.
When the time came, the game was over immediately.
As soon as this topic came out, the scene was in an uproar.
"Twelve dishes, all made with turnips, did I hear you right?"
"It's okay to use this radish as a side dish at a banquet, but it's not a main dish, isn't it embarrassing?"
"The radish enters the city and the pharmacy closes, is it to encourage us to maintain our health?"
"Are turnip greens healthy?"
"Unconventional, wine-brewed radish skin?"
"That's too explosive."
……
Everyone's reaction was great, and the game officially began in a burst of gongs.
The radish is made from the local material, and it is everywhere in the field.
The teams went into their kitchens and began to discuss countermeasures.
Zhou Anfu said: "The radish banquet, a total of twelve dishes, our group is made by five people, two for each person, and two soups, isn't this it?" ”
Zeng Hongxia turned on the faucet and turned it off again: "That's not what you calculated, didn't you just say that every dish must be different." ”
"Isn't it a turnip? Can you still make the taste of beef? ”
"That's why this is the Chef God Competition." As she spoke, she looked at Yin Xiaoyue, who was standing on the stove, and then turned her head to look at Chen Yufei, who had been standing behind her; "If you make a simple question, how can you tell the difference between skill and skill, right?"
Seeing that Chen Yufei and Yin Xiaoyue were noncommittal, Zeng Hongxia was slightly displeased.
The plush jade on the side glanced at the time:
"It's almost ten o'clock, and there are still two hours left, so let's not care so much, everyone will make a dish first!"
That's a practical statement.
So, without saying a word, everyone went to the ground to pull turnips.
Yin Xiaoyue and Chen Yufei felt that it was still strange.
When they were in their twenties, it was the first time they had gone down to the ground to pull turnips.
At most, Yin Xiaoyue has only seen the kind that is tied into bundles and sold in the market, what does it look like in the ground, and it is the first time she has seen it.
Twist a radish tassel and pull it hard.
Hearing only the sound of "pop", Yin Xiaoyue sat on the mud floor, and the big white radish that broke through the soil broke in half.
The broken radish is really watery, smelling a faint smell of apples, looking at the white and crystal fractured surface, Yin Xiaoyue really wants to bite down.
The plush jade on the side has already pulled out several turnips.
"You can't do that, you have to use skill to pull the turnip, and brute force is unacceptable." As she spoke, she demonstrated to Yin Xiaoyue: "If you want to mention it along the root, it will come out all of a sudden......"
According to her method, Yin Xiaoyue really pulled out a whole radish.
Looking at the white and tender radish in her hand, she was very happy.
"Everything has to follow the nature of things, and if you are in a hurry, you can't eat hot radish."
Although the plush jade looks like a woman with five big and three thick, it makes sense to say something coldly.
Pull the radish out of the field, and there is an open-air kitchen on the edge of the field.
The five of them got busy.
The requirements of the competition are that radish must be the main dish, so it is stuffed beef brisket with radish, radish pork ribs or something, and it can't be done.
Moreover, it is also unconventional, and the popular dish of cold radish shredded radish cannot be served on the table.
Looking at the chubby white radish in her hand, Yin Xiaoyue began to think.
Chen Yufei, who was next to the desk over there, had already thought of a dish, he cut off a piece of radish and put it in his mouth and tasted it, the radish he had just dug out was really sweet.
Yangcheng is also rich in radishes.
A dish of radish and beef offal is a popular snack on the streets.
On the busiest pedestrian street, every few steps, there is a beef offal stall.
There were two steaming cauldrons on the stall.
In one pot are all kinds of beef offal, which are beef intestines, tripe, beef heart, beef lungs, and beef tendons...... In the other pot, there is a pot full of stewed white radish.
A small disposable bowl with a few large radishes at the bottom.
It costs five dollars of beef intestines, plus five dollars of beef heart and lungs.
The boss's scissors are fast.
The offal is cut into pieces, covered with turnips, and topped with a spoonful of fresh soup.
Next to the cauldron, there are also chopped green onions, coriander, sweet and spicy sauce, red oil chili sauce, etc.
Coriander and sweet and spicy sauce are two of the most popular pairings.
The handsome men and women who go shopping almost have a bowl in their hands.
When it comes to Yangcheng snacks, this radish and beef offal bear the brunt.
Since radish is the main dish, Chen Yufei definitely can't make radish offal, make a vegetarian roasted radish with the flavor of beef offal, perhaps, can win full applause.
There was still an hour and a half to go, and five chefs were cooking twelve dishes.
It seems to be more than enough, but the expressions on everyone's faces are very serious.
Innovative dishes also require that they must be delicious.
Only designated radishes can be used as ingredients, which is a bit difficult under these harsh conditions.
After Chen Yufei cut the radish into large pieces, he started to mix the sauce with oil, and the seasonings in the cabinet were all available, even the rarely used bean curd could be found.
And, he unexpectedly found some sun-dried gardenias.
With this thing, Chen Yufei's heart was half fixed.
After stir-frying the green onions, ginger and garlic in soybean oil, pick up a few pieces of bean curd and put them in the pot, and suddenly, a fresh and fragrant smell keeps coming out of the hot pot.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yufei's sauce had already been prepared.
Add a small half basin of water, then add spices such as bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon, etc., and finally add a little dark soy sauce and cooking wine.
The color of the pot is dark brown, and the bean curd has completely melted into the soup.
After the soup boiled, Chen Yufei poured all the cut radishes into it and simmered.
Next, it's time to mix the dipping sauce.
Every beef grocery store in Yangcheng has a different taste of sweet and spicy sauce.
Many diners eat offal, just for the hot sauce prepared by the store itself, none of them have their own merits, and the taste is different, and senior foodies can taste it with one taste.
A few heads of garlic, half a bowl of red pepper, a piece of ginger.
Chop them and mix them with soybean paste, add sugar, add a little white vinegar, lemon juice and finally drizzle a few drops of fish sauce.
After stirring well, Chen Yufei's garlic sweet and spicy sauce is ready.
The red pepper is bright red in color, only slightly spicy, the fresh ginger is delicious, and the garlic particles are irritating to the nose, just with this sauce, you can eat several bowls of rice.
Dipping the chopsticks and tasting a little bit of spicy sauce, Chen Yufei was very satisfied.
When I opened the lid of the pot and took a look, the stewed white radish had begun to change color slightly.
Add the dried gardenia and continue to fasten the lid.
Only this time, he turned the pot on low heat.
Glancing at the time, this dish took half an hour just now, and the large radish should be stewed for another forty minutes, it should be fine, Chen Yufei began to prepare the next dish.
