Liu Lao's voice fell, and the five chefs came forward one after another, they couldn't believe that their porridge would lose to a porridge cooked with flower petals, and some of them made seafood porridge, which can remove the fishy smell of seafood in a short period of time and retain the umami, how can they lose to a petal porridge?

Shiso's hands and feet are also sharp, and he brought clean bowls and spoons with porridge and handed them to the chefs.

After everyone tasted it, they went to taste the porridge they made, and said unwillingly, "The porridge made by Yalinju is indeed better than what we made, but we lost." ”

Saying that, all the chefs looked sideways at Lin Xia, seeing that she was still lazy, and her slender hands touched the child in her belly, she couldn't help but feel funny, this is obviously the appearance of a rich lady, who would have thought that this lady actually has hidden cooking skills.

I only blame myself for underestimating Yalinju, the restaurants under Yalinju are blooming everywhere in the Wu Dynasty, with a variety of dishes and fresh ways to eat, since Lin Xia, the proprietress of Yalinju, replaces the chef of Yalinju to participate in the competition, it shows that people have the confidence and strength to fully represent Yalinju.

In the waiting area on the right side of the venue, there were already chefs in the next round queuing, ready to start the competition, and when they heard He Mu openly announce that Yalinju had won seven votes and defeated the other five restaurants, they were shocked, and they all felt a little more sense of crisis in their hearts.

The next round of chefs was ready to go on stage, Lin Xia slowly got off the stage with the support of Shiso, and Lei Biao hurriedly stepped forward with two little guys who seemed to have eaten stimulants.

"Mother, you're so amazing!" Xiao Xu'er's face was full of excitement, he was sure that his mother would be promoted, but he didn't expect that he would be unanimously promoted, which was beyond his expectations.

Xiao Chen'er thought about the porridge made by Lin Xia, and said coquettishly: "Mother, Xiao Chen'er wants to eat the porridge made by her mother." ”

Lin Xia was in a good mood, in fact, she didn't expect that she would be promoted by all votes, and when she heard that Xiao Chen'er wanted to eat, Lin Xia agreed, "Okay, my mother will go back and make it for you!" ”

Lei Biao looked at Lin Xia affectionately and said, "Xia'er, it's hard work. ”

Lin Xia's smile was bright and elegant, his eyes looked at him like water, and he said softly: "Husband, let's go back and make you tutu porridge to eat." ”

Cuiyu suddenly poked out a head from behind Lei Biao and said playfully: "Sister Xia, have you forgotten us?" ”

Lin Xia only found out at this time that Lei Biao was still followed by her group of relatives and friends, and her sight was occupied by Lei Biao and Xiao Xu'er Xiao Chen'er, causing her to ignore them, so she had to smile awkwardly, "How can there be, go, go to our house, I'll make you Tu Tu porridge to drink!" ”

"Do you have a share?" Li Yunfei couldn't help but quip, "I heard my sister-in-law say just now that it seems to be only for the eldest brother." ”

Seeing the embarrassed look on Lin Xia's face, Lin Chengzu and Li Zijin couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker, it was the first time they had seen Lin Xia like this.

The atmosphere of everyone was very relaxed, and they didn't bother to watch the next game, so they went back to Lei Mansion together and tasted the porridge made by Lin Xia.

The National Cooking Competition is in full swing, and after the first day and the second day of the competition, there are 44 restaurants left in the original 96 restaurants, and the first round is brutally eliminated 52 restaurants, except for the first day and the first round only Yalinju passes, the rest of each game has two or three restaurants to advance.

The competition system is very cruel, but for the audience, it is very exciting to watch, and even enthusiastic, but everyone is most concerned about who will win the final victory, and even some casinos have opened gambling games, from the promotion of each game to the final winner.

However, this popular choice is the two most prominent restaurants in the competition, one is one of the organizers of the competition, Yalinju; The second is the second restaurant in Beijing second only to Juxian Pavilion, Qionglou Jade Pavilion.

The reason is that the chef of this Qionglou Jade Pavilion is an old man who retired from the imperial dining room last year, called Mo Lao, in every competition, the dishes he makes are all exquisite, all of them are the level of imperial cuisine, and it is also a score of seven full marks in addition to Yalinju.

It's just a pity that Qionglou Yuge and Yalinju have not tried in the same game so far, which makes everyone feel very pity, but it also means that these two restaurants will meet in the final of the seventh game on the eighth day.

With everyone anxiously waiting and expecting, the final finally began.

In the end, there are only five restaurants left, among which Yalinju and Qionglou Yuge are naturally needless to say, and the other three are also time-honored restaurants that are very famous in various places, and the chefs are quite old, resulting in only Lin Xia being a young woman in the whole field.

At the same time, the rules of the finals have also been changed accordingly, and there will be a total of five competitions, namely soup, dessert, vegetarian dishes, meat dishes and free play. The mass review was canceled, and the review was directly reviewed by the experts, and a scoring system was used at the same time, with a full score of 10, each dish was scored separately, and the score was accumulated after five games, and the first to fifth places will be directly discharged after the end of the competition.

However, considering that the majority of spectators do not have the benefits of watching the game, the chef is asked to cook more than five people, and the extra part will be eaten by lottery on the spot.

The first contest consisted of soup dishes, and when the gong was sounded, the exciting final finally began.

Everyone began to get busy, picking vegetables and picking meat, looking very busy but very organized. As for the side that represents Yalinju, it is unusually quiet, I saw Lin Xia thinking with a distressed face, and the little maid beside him did not urge, as always, the clouds were light and light.

"Wow, that's a lot of chicken, how much do you need to make a soup?" A spectator watched the movement of the Qionglou Jade Pavilion and saw that they took out the chickens that had been processed one by one, and counted them, a total of ten.

Mo Lao, as in every previous game, put his knife on the table next to him, then selected a wide-backed knife from it, and quickly peeled and deboned each chicken, smashed the bones and put them in boiling water, and the remaining chicken skin was all gone.

The imperial food in this palace has always been extravagant in materials, how exquisite it is, but in every previous game, Mo Lao was not so exaggerated, but in today's finals, he took ten chickens to make soup, and it seems that he really took out the skills of housekeeping.

Other restaurants are also busy, but they all looked around, some make fish soup, some make vegetarian soup, some make meat soup, everything.

Looking at Yalinju again, there is still no action.

Suddenly, I saw the pregnant woman on the stage saying something to the maid next to her, and then the maid ran directly to He Mu Gongzi to say something, and then got off the stage and ran away.

Is this an escape?

Everyone felt inexplicable, and the three expert judges who had been paying attention to Yalinju also felt very strange.

After waiting for about five minutes, I saw the maid rushing to the stage with a sack, and then took out a black thing from the sack, which startled the woman who was watching because of its ugly appearance.

"Oh my God, what's that?"

"It's dark, it's disgusting."

"Hey, don't tell me Yalinju is going to make soup out of that disgusting thing, right?"

"Evil, if you want this to make soup, I won't drink it."

Everyone was very resistant to what Lin Xia was holding, and Lin Xia silently complained in his heart: Ignorant ancient people!

The thing in her hand is actually a soft-shelled turtle that has been processed, which is commonly known as a turtle and a king.

It is also thanks to her friends in the western suburbs that they found that there were living creatures in the rice field when they were making rice fields, but this appearance really frightened many people, but fortunately, Lin Xia usually told them that if they found any small fish and shrimp in the field, they could actually be scooped up and eaten as vegetables, for example, some time ago, they fished out crayfish in the mud.

For this reason, Lin Xia made a spicy crayfish for everyone, and ate all the big guys, but unfortunately there was less fishing, and there was only one in everyone's mouth, in order to be able to eat more crayfish, they went to the field every day, but they didn't expect to fish out a soft-shelled turtle.

In order not to miss the food, they directly sent the soft-shelled turtle to Lei Mansion and asked Lin Xia to see if they could make it into fresh food.

Lin Xia naturally recognized this soft-shelled turtle, so he called the bold chef to clean up the soft-shelled turtle, and then considered what soft-shelled turtle dishes to make, but he didn't expect Lin Xia to drag it directly to the competition site, planning to make a soup with soft-shelled turtle on the spot.

However, in addition to this soft-shelled turtle, everyone also saw another new thing, an oval green object, with white stripes on the skin, which looked very strange.

When Wu Xuan saw what Lin Xia took out, he was very surprised, because the thing Lin Xia took out was a cantaloupe that had been paid tribute by outsiders, with thin skin and thin flesh, rich fragrance, and belonged to a kind of fruit.

She even used cantaloupe to make soup? Wu Xuan was even more curious about what kind of soup she would make.

Fresh and strange things appeared repeatedly, and everyone became more and more curious about Yalinju, because in every previous game, Yalinju had several ingredients that had never been seen before, such as crayfish, yellow eel, loach, clams, scallops, lobster, a variety of things that they had never seen.

Because of their curiosity about Yalinju, many people have focused their eyes on Lin Xia, and even other chefs have looked sideways, not knowing what new things are going to appear in Yalinju.

I saw that she put the processed soft-shelled turtle meat into boiling water and boiled, removed impurities and seasoned with thin salt, and then poured the soup into the hollowed-out cantaloupe, put it in the steamer and steamed it together.

"Yalinju, are you ready?" Seeing that the two of them were eating happily, as if they were drinking afternoon tea, Gu Lao couldn't help but ask.

"It's done, it's waiting for you." Lin Xia replied, and as he spoke, he swept around the chefs who were still stepping up to make soup.

Hearing this, the big guy's hands moved faster.

The gong was sounded again, and everyone's work stopped, and the field was filled with all kinds of fragrant fragrances, which made people salivate.
