054 Last Race
So many things happened at home for the first time, but Lin An, who was in the county seat, didn't know about it. She is all focused on the competition, if she can win and get the thirty taels of silver, the opening of the restaurant will be logical.
She successfully passed the first two games and entered the finals with only five people left, and the first two rounds were actually small tests, just to eliminate most of the contestants, and the last round was the real kung fu.
The officials at the bottom got serious, and the way of playing in the finals also came out, and this time it was indeed pompous. Each contestant is a sheep and a half big, and he will use this sheep to cook, no matter which part of the sheep is taken, no matter how he cooks, frying, frying, stewing, and shabu-shabu, whatever it is, the number and variety of dishes are not limited, it depends on the contestants' own ability.
There is a total of one hour, and when the time comes, it is up to all the guests in the restaurant to decide and choose their favorite cook.
The last five people selected from so many contestants will not be bad at cooking. Lin An took a look, and the other four people were basically the chefs of Pingxian Restaurant, and the one with the most hope of winning the championship was the chef of Baixing Restaurant.
In the first two rounds, she paid a lot of attention to him, and there were indeed two brushes, whether it was carving or boiling soup, it could be seen that he was an expert, and the first two rounds of votes counted him the most, no wonder he could be a chef in Baixing Restaurant.
It's not so simple to win him, although Lin An doesn't think that the taste of the dishes he makes will be worse than his, but he is the master of the house, and he has been a cook for so many years, so he must be familiar with the tastes of Pingxian people.
I'm afraid it's hard to have a breakthrough in color and fragrance, so ...... I had to get something new out of the mix.
The only thing she was sure of winning him was in creativity.
Thinking of this, Lin An looked at the little sheep and finally made a move.
Baixing Restaurant is quite humane, in addition to each cook can bring a helper, the work of killing sheep is also sent to help. Lin An was the only one who didn't bring a cook, and the only woman left, and the guys at Baixing Restaurant took good care of her, "Little lady, which part of this mutton do you want to take?" ”
"For meat, I want hind leg meat, some lamb stick bones, and a whole sheep spinal cord bone with tenderloin and spinal cord, and I also have haggis and sheep blood, and sheep eyes."
"Uh......" The helper listened to Lin An's words, and even the knife in his hand paused, "Little lady, are you sure?" ”
It's also too strange, it's the first time I've heard this kind of request, others choose the meat on the sheep, they try to choose a piece of fine and delicious, she is good, everything is miscellaneous, just these things, can make delicious dishes.
"I'm sure, you can help me get this, and I'll do the rest myself."
If you want to win, you must take something new, and you have to make something that others can't do, Lin An saw it, the other four chefs, even if it is the chef of Baixing Restaurant, do most of them are fried and stewed, looking at the processing techniques and ingredients, it can be seen that the things made must not be bad.
She had to do the opposite, using different ingredients and ways to make something delicious that no one else had ever tasted.
"Okay, whatever you say I'll do." Seeing that Lin An was very sure, the helper nodded, and immediately took the knife.
An hour is a long time, but it actually passes very quickly. There is a time limit, it is too complicated to do, and if you want to make a few more dishes, you have to count the time at the same time, which is really a test of the skills of several cooks.
The guests outside couldn't wait, but fortunately, Baixing Restaurant prepared everything, and there were various performances in the stands during the waiting time, and each table was given melon and fruit snacks to entertain them, which raised the atmosphere of the game very high.
In the box on the second floor of the restaurant, Qin Haoran walked to the door, looked at the last incense stick on the side of the stand, raised the fan in his hand, and smiled brightly, "It's finally over." ”
"Third brother, there is still a stick of incense, you can sit and wait." The subordinate on the side replaced the tea with a new one and opened his mouth, "A small cooking competition, the third brother is so attentive, if Lin Niangzi knows, she will definitely understand the third brother's intentions." ”
"It's sure to be someone else, maybe she's a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed, I really don't know where I like her." Qin Haoran felt helpless just thinking about it, it was rare that he was willing to work so a woman, so that people hadn't looked at him once until now, this woman was sometimes too difficult to coax. "You say, can she win this game?"
"I don't know about this little one, Lin Niangzi's cooking skills are very superb, and the eldest girl in our family and the daughters in the county are very fond of it. It's just that the rest of the chefs are all famous in the county, especially the chef of this Baixing Restaurant, which came from the big restaurant in Nanping City, and it's really hard to say who wins and who loses. ”
"Whatever, no matter if you win or lose, she owes me a big favor, and she can't turn me away in the future. I have to let my eldest sister see it, her idea must be wrong, and no woman in the entire Pingxian County can refuse me. ”
"Yes, yes, what the third brother said." The subordinate answered twice and followed towards the first floor.
The last stick of incense seemed to burn very slowly, and the officials below finally waited until the time for the incense to burn, and the shouting sound sounded, and the back kitchen could almost hear it.
The steward came in and shouted, "Chefs, it's time." ”
Lin An just finished the final decoration and clapped his hands with a sigh of relief. Yes, it's finally over.
The finished product of each chef is the same, and Lin arranged it at the end, and he happened to have the time to watch the results of others.
The first two people only made one dish, one was a perfect tonic soup made of mutton, Lin An had seen him make it when he was in the back kitchen, and he did put a lot of thought into it, from the removal of mutton to the processing of various ingredients, and also added a lot of other tonic medicinal meals and side dishes in it, almost becoming a mutton version of Buddha jumping over the wall.
When the jar was opened, the fragrance was already emanating. However, Lin An still felt sorry for him, it was difficult for this kind of big tonic soup to be delicious, he chose a dish with a high difficulty coefficient, but this stewing method was not enough for an hour to make all the essence of the big tonic soup stewed, it still seemed a little hasty, and the time was spent on the big tonic soup, it was enough for him to make a dish, just one soup, of course, it was monotonous.
The second one also made a similar mistake, just like the first person, trying to show his cooking skills through a difficult dish, but he lost a lot of charm at the expense of the other.
The speed of cooking in the third one was very fast, and one person took a helper to make eight dishes in one hour, and set up a table with a variety of dishes, and ate everything, and it seemed that the response was also good.
However, after the appearance of the chef of the fourth Baixing Restaurant, the limelight of the third chef was immediately suppressed by him.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the master chef of Baixing Restaurant, even if he only made five dishes, he made a complete set of dishes with a sheep.
From the appetizer with shredded cold mutton, to the mutton soup at the mouth, and then the sweet and spicy side dishes and two mutton main dishes, it is almost a set of dishes that can be officially served at the banquet, and even the name is chosen, "Mutton Yipintang".
The dishes he cooks are focused on different tastes and preferences, and they can be said to be multifaceted. Using a kind of meat to make a set of dishes, it can be seen from this alone that this chef is very skilled.
Not to mention that after his dishes were divided, just looking at the expressions of people who had tasted them, he knew that in addition to the color and fragrance, even the taste was very successful, and all of them praised his cooking skills to the sky, as if he was the only one who won the first prize.
It's really difficult to win against him.
Lin An took a deep breath and waited for her name to be called, before finally bringing her dishes to the table.
"It's a little lady!"
When she came up, the people below were already talking.
"Yo, I didn't expect it, this last one is actually a woman, there doesn't seem to be a woman as a cook in the Pingxian restaurant."
"I don't know, but I've been to so many restaurants, and I really haven't seen her. A woman, why are you here to join in this kind of fun. ”
"Let's take a look first, no matter what, people have advanced to the finals from so many chefs, maybe she has her own way."
The people below were talking, and their eyes were looking over to her. The person holding the dishes behind Lin An put out a long strip, and it seemed that he had made a lot of dishes, and everyone thought that he was also a person who wanted to win with more, but he didn't hope that he could do better than the chef of the restaurant.
"Little lady, do you have a name for this set of dishes?"
The owner of the restaurant asked, and Lin An raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth.
Of course, there has to be a name, just now the chef took the name of Yipintang, what did she say, the loser will not lose the battle.
"I'm ...... Call the world a family. ”
"One family in the world? The name is big enough, but I don't know if your dish can match this dish. ”
"Just look at it." Lin An said, letting the person behind her lift the lid, and the few dishes she made were exposed. The plates and dishes were loaded one by one, which made the people below look a little dumb for a while.
"This is ......"
It's because they're a little short-sighted, and although they haven't eaten many of the dishes that the chef made just now, they can at least recognize the dishes.
But the little lady, some of them are just like new things.
"Little lady, why don't you introduce your dishes to everyone."
"Okay." Lin An walked in front of his own dishes, "I use these things from sheep, leg meat, sheep eyes, haggis, blood and flesh on the back of sheep." ”
"Shhh...... What is this, the internal organs of the eyes, how can all the mess be used, these things that are not good on the table, and they dare to take the name of the world. ”
"I can't even figure out where the best meat on the sheep is, but what she makes can be eaten."
