The old man sitting on the judge's seat watched with interest the every move of the three candidates while asking someone to serve him a cup of Zhengshan Xiaozhong black tea.

Because the process of the dish Cai Youyou chose to make was not complicated, and the time for the exam was abundant, she was not in a hurry, but quietly observed the two seniors processing crucian carp while processing the ingredients slowly and methodically.

Meat is her shortcoming, and crucian carp is an ingredient she has never touched.

It wasn't until he saw the two seniors clean the crucian carp and put it into the oil pot that Cai Youyou began to get busy.

Peel the green bamboo shoots, cut them into thin strips, wash the enoki mushrooms and cherry tomatoes for later use, boil water in a pot, blanch the green bamboo shoots, then pass through ice water, drain the water for later use, and blanch the processed enoki mushrooms and cook them in the same water.

Next, she began to make the sauce with salt, oil, light soy sauce, sugar, pepper, some plum vinegar and starch, and water, and put the drained green bamboo shoots into a container, adding an appropriate amount of salt and sesame oil to taste.

Spread the mixed shredded lettuce on the bottom of the plate, squeeze out the water of the enoki mushrooms, shape them into a round ball with a round soup spoon, and place them neatly on top of the paved green shoots.

On the side of the two seniors, the yam crucian carp soup and the tofu crucian carp soup exuded a strong aroma, and when they were about to come out of the pot, Cai Youyou's side finally picked up the wok.

Put oil in the pot and boil it until it is hot, put in the minced garlic to burst the fragrance, pour the prepared sauce into the pot and burn it until it is viscous, pour it on top of the enoki mushroom, and then cut the cherry tomatoes in half, put it on the top of the enoki mushroom and decorate it, a dish with full color and aroma is done.

The three dishes were placed in front of the examiner at almost the same time.

"Yam crucian carp soup and crucian carp tofu soup?" The old man looked at the works of the two seniors, and did not show any superfluous expressions on his face, but commented very calmly: "The form of the crucian carp is relatively intact, and it can also arouse the appetite of others from the point of view, which is worthy of being a student trained in the academy." ”

As he spoke, the old man picked up the spoon and tasted the two crucian carp soups in turn.

"Both soups taste good, but they are slightly flawed. In the yam crucian carp soup, there is still a faint fishy smell in the fish. In the tofu crucian carp soup, although the beany smell and fishy smell have been removed, the flavor treatment of the two ingredients is slightly lacking, and the flavor of tofu and crucian carp that echoes each other is not expressed. You two, the old man barely gave a passing grade here, and you passed. ”

As the old man spoke, his gaze fell on Cai Youyou's dish.

"This dish...... Made with shredded green shoots and enoki mushrooms? But it's not the kind of mixing three wires in the traditional sense...... It's kind of interesting. Little girl, is this your creative dish? Have you decided on a name for the dish? ”

Cai Youyou hesitated for a moment and replied, "The name of my dish is called Spring Spirit." ”

"Oh? Spring has sprung? Interesting, the name of the dish is very good, and the appearance is also beautiful, let me try it......"

The old man said as he picked up his chopsticks and tasted them.

"This is?!"

The delicious and delicious, salty and sweet, sweet and slightly sour mouth, the old man actually shed tears involuntarily!
