Chapter Seventy-Nine: Winning the First Place
Soon, Fluttershy carves the turnip flower.
The thin, soft petals and agile shape make the flower look vibrant, and after carving, Fluttershy carefully places the radish flower on a plate with the yam fungus and arranges it on the side.
Smelling the fragrance coming from the casserole, Ruan Xiaodie estimated that the Buddha jumping over the wall should be almost ready, but she still has to lift the lid to take a look. Holding a cloth towel and carefully opening the lid of the casserole, a very delicious aroma came out, which provoked several cooks around Ruan Xiaodie to look at it one after another, with surprise in their eyes.
Ruan Xiaodie ignored the strange stares of these people, opened the lid and carefully took out a small bowl, picked up the spoon and tasted it, it was very thick and dense, thick but not greasy, Ruan Xiaodie's eyes lit up, and she knew that her soup was good.
Earlier, when she was preparing, Ruan Xiaodie prepared 5 small pumpkins, opened them all and removed their cores. Then put the boiled Buddha jumping over the wall into the pumpkin cup, cover the original lid of the pumpkin, then put it on a plate, and continue to steam in the pot.
After steaming for about half a sticky incense, Ruan Xiaodie carefully placed a few pumpkins on a large white plate, so that the Buddha jumped over the wall and was completed.
After being busy, most of the cooks in the audience were busy, and after glancing at the time in front of them, there was still almost half a stick of incense left, Ruan Xiaodie was not in a hurry, first closed the lid, and then began to observe the other contestants on the side.
However, there was a person who actually made sauce elbow on the spot, Ruan Xiaodie was a little surprised, this person didn't look good, but the sauce elbow looked delicious.
Looking at them one by one, Ruan Xiaodie felt that her chances of winning didn't seem to be so great. I can't help but feel a little worried.
Time flies quickly, and Ruan Xiaodie is still worried.
The organizer had already struck the gong, only to hear Yuntian say on the stage: "The time for the competition has come, please stop, and then ask our staff to bring your dishes one by one, and our judges will evaluate them according to the serial number."
As he spoke, 10 or so staff members first brought Nos. 1-10 to the judging table. Maybe the No. 1-10 didn't do well, several judges shook their heads, Ruan Xiaodie looked at the No. 1-10 players in the audience, and all of them left the competition scene dejectedly.
Don't look at the number of people, but the review is still very fast, and it is almost Ruan Xiaodie's group in less than a stick of incense. Ruan Xiaodie was a little nervous, her hands tightened the corners of her clothes, and she watched the staff serve her and the other nine people's dishes, standing quietly under the judging table and waiting for the judges to comment.
When eating the dishes of the first few people, several judges did not react in any other way, but they seemed to be very calm, and when they tasted Ruan Xiaodie's pumpkin cup Buddha jumping over the wall, they clearly felt that the expressions of several judges had changed. Ruan Xiaodie was nervous with her head down, when she heard an uproar from the stage.
After that, I heard Gong Rou start to speak: "No. 58 player, can you explain your dish to us?" Ruan Xiaodie didn't react at first, but when she heard the uproar of the audience, she reflexively raised her head and glanced at it, only to see Gong Rou smiling at her, and repeated.
"Contestant No. 58, can you tell us how you make this dish?"
Only then did I realize that I was calling myself.
Ruan Xiaodie said in a panic: "This dish is called Buddha jumping over the wall, and the bowl of soup he made with many kinds of ingredients is already very delicious." I used yam, fungus, prawns, pork ribs and other ingredients, but in order to prevent the judges from getting tired, I finally carried it and steamed it in a pumpkin cup, so that the sweet aroma of the pumpkin would seep into this soup of Buddha jumping over the wall, and you wouldn't feel so tired of tasting it. ”
When several judges heard this, they nodded and looked at each other, and one of the judges came out and said, "Yes, this contestant, your dish is very good, although you used quite a lot." Meaty, but in the end, this container of pumpkin makes its overall taste fresh and natural, which is very good. ”
Fluttershy smiled happily when she heard them compliment, and stepped aside when she saw the judges start tasting the next dish again. A total of 100 people participated in the cooking competition. It didn't take long for several judges to try everyone's dishes.
Then Yuntian said on the judging platform: "Ladies and gentlemen, our judges need to discuss again, which players are the top three, so please wait patiently."
Hearing this, some of the contestants in the audience returned to their tables and started to clean up their things, Ruan Xiaodie also returned to her table and put away some of the remaining ingredients, after all, the ingredients for Buddha jumping over the wall are still very expensive, and it is good to take them back to make an extra dish in her tavern, after Ruan Xiaodie has put everything away and wiped the table clean.
Then he heard Yun Tian speaking again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the results of our judging have come out. Please come to the front! ”
So everyone walked to the front, Ruan Xiaodie stood silently in the back because of the small number of people, and didn't want to squeeze to the front. After that, Gong Rou stood in front and began to announce the results.
"I announce that the third place in this cooking competition is, contestant No. 22, congratulations!"
I saw a short man come out of the crowd, his face was full of joy, and he bowed to the stage as a judge, and handed him the 20 taels of silver as a gift tomorrow, and smiled at him: "Congratulations."
"Okay, let's announce the second place next, Gong Rou looked at the third place, and after getting the reward, he said, the second place is our No. 88 player. Congratulations! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a chubby girl, happily coming out of the crowd, with the label of No. 88 on her body, Yuntian handed her 50 taels of silver: "Congratulations to your girl!"
The little girl, very modest, bowed again and again.
"Okay, let's announce the first place, I want to say, this first place, our 5 judges unanimously approved, think that the dishes he makes are very distinctive, not only distinctive, but also very delicious, is the first recognized by our 5 judges, he is the No. 58 contestant, congratulations!"
Looking at Gong Rou who was smiling happily on stage, Ruan Xiaodie was a little dazed, and walked to the front in a daze, hugged Gong Rou, only to hear her say in her ear, "Congratulations, Fluttershy, you won the first place, I knew you would definitely be able to do it."
