At half past eight o'clock in the morning, the National Cooking Contest started warmly in the sound of firecrackers that resounded through the sky, due to the large number of participants in the competition, there are a total of eight competitions today and tomorrow, four in the morning and four in the afternoon, there will be fifteen minutes of review time and chef rectification time between each game, and the itinerary is quite compact and intensive.

He Mu served as the host, and after telling everyone the rules with joy, he began to introduce the chefs and representative restaurants in the first round, and when he was called to the sixth place, Lin Xia from Yalinju, it was obvious that the faces of the audience and the judges were a little strange.

Especially Wu Xuan, Liu Lao and Gu Lao, who are ranked first, second and third, Wu Xuan's reaction is okay, more curious, as for Liu Lao and Gu Lao, they haven't forgotten the dim sum chef they saw yesterday and what the dim sum chef said.

Suddenly, a voice came from below, "What, is there no one in Yalinju, and you actually let a woman participate in the competition?" ”

The first row closest to the competition stage is lined with a row of chairs, and there is a special human wall to block it, and the people sitting in it are Lin Xia's relatives and friends, Lei Biao took Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er, not to mention Lin Chengzu, Li Zijin, Li Yunfei, Cuiyu and others, which can be described as a family of old and young Qi going into battle.

Lei Biao heard someone provoking behind him, his face turned dark, and he turned his head to look at the crowd, looking for the person who made a sound, but unfortunately it was dark and oppressive, and he couldn't see who made a sound.

Lin Xia knew that there were also many people in the restaurant in these audiences, and guessed that this was what the competitor said, maybe he wanted to suppress the momentum of Yalinju, but he didn't care at all, and stood calmly.

He Mu was also very surprised that Lin Xia would play in person, and the person who followed him was not a chef, but a personal maid, so I really didn't know what Lin Xia was thinking about.

"Now let's start drawing the theme of this round!" He Mu shouted loudly, took a random card from the wooden box, looked at the words on the card and shouted: "The theme of this round, porridge!" ”

When the words fell, the chefs present couldn't laugh, porridge is easy and easy, difficult and difficult, and the porridge has to be boiled and glutinous, but this competition is only half an hour, how can you make good porridge?

This is undoubtedly a challenge.

"The game is officially on!" He Mu gave an order.

Everyone hurriedly selected the ingredients with the help cook, and Lin Xia, the only woman present, was talking to Zisu slowly. After finishing speaking, Shisu nodded and went directly to the ingredients area to fish for rice, while Lin Xia untied the package he brought and took out the oiled paper bag in it.

Seeing this, some chefs objected, "Bring your own ingredients, is this considered a foul in Yalinju?" ”

"I didn't bring any ingredients." Lin Xia replied lightly, then opened the oiled paper bag and poured it into the basket, and found that all of them were a whole white flower, and suddenly the field was filled with a strong floral fragrance, fresh and pleasant, and it smelled very good.

"I'm just a flower, flowers are not an ingredient, and there is no such thing as flowers in the He family's supply." Lin Xia said that geography is straightforward.

There was a lot of discussion at the bottom, they knew that this flower was made into cakes, but this was the first time they had seen someone make porridge from flowers, wouldn't it taste weird?

The scolded chef turned red, and he didn't know how to refute it, after all, flowers are indeed not ordinary ingredients, and even only a few are used when making pastries.

In fact, this Hua Lin Xia is also used in case of emergency, because she knows that there is a brand of pastry in it, in case she draws a pastry. But now I was pumping porridge, and it happened that the tulip flowers in the garden bloomed a few days ago, and I thought that a tulip porridge used to make my own family recipe was given to Lei Biao, Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er to taste, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

This porridge is a real secret recipe in ancient books, and it is naturally the best to use it for the first time.

After Shisu took the rice back, Lin Xia instructed her to put the rice in a cloth bag, and then bring a hammer to smash the rice to reduce the time it takes to boil into porridge, and then wash the smashed rice and put it in a casserole, and then add pure spirit water to wait for the porridge to cook slowly.

While waiting for the porridge to boil, Lin Xia also began to cook the pile of tulip flowers and the leaves of the tulip flowers, washed and plucked the petals, blanched them in a soup with wormwood, and then put the petals of the tulip flowers into it and cooked them together.

Seeing that Lin Xia really put the flowers into the porridge, many people couldn't accept it, and even thought that it wouldn't be very delicious.

And Wu Xuan, Gu Lao and Liu Lao were quite concerned about Lin Xia, and it was the first time they had seen the porridge made of flower petals, so they didn't know what the taste would be, and the three of them were very curious.

"Come on, mother!" Xiao Chen'er shouted for Lin Xia from the sidelines.

"Come on, mother!" Xiao Xuer seconded.

Lin Xia turned his head to look at the family and friends in the audience, and suddenly showed a beautiful smile.

It can be seen that Lei Biao's face is a little dark, what is the situation?

Lin Xia hurriedly turned his head back, blanched the fragrant young leaves in licorice soup, and mixed them with the ingredients he had prepared as a side dish.

During the whole process, Lin Xia didn't show any advanced cooking skills, and it was even a little simple, that is, the petals were washed and boiled in the porridge, and the leaves were washed and mixed with ingredients to become a side dish.

Looking at what other people do, some people choose mushrooms, some people choose pork ribs, and some people choose fish meat, each of which is much richer and more wonderful than Lin Xia.

As for Lin Xia, she didn't care about the situation in the pot at all, and directly applied for a chair like He Mu and asked him to sit down, after all, she was pregnant and couldn't stand for a long time.

"Hey, does Yalinju have any serious competitions?"

"That's right, it's okay to send a woman to participate in the competition, how can you make good porridge if you are so lazy?"

"She washed the petals and leaves and put them in to cook, so simple, I feel like a three-year-old child can cook it."

"It's just ......"

The audience was very dissatisfied with Lin Xia's lazy attitude, which was too far from the food they thought of in Yalinju, obviously Yalinju has so many barbecue, hot pot, spicy hot, cakes, ice cream and all kinds of fresh and delicious dishes, how can you compete on stage so casually?

Hearing everyone's discussions, Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er immediately became angry, turned their heads and shouted to the audience behind them, "You are not allowed to say my mother!" ”

"My mother's cooking is the best in the world!"

"Brother is right!"

The two brothers sang and harmonized, and they were bound to fight for their mother's craft.

He Mu saw that the field was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly said: "Everyone be quiet, in fact, the quality of this dish cannot be judged by the method, it should be judged by our judges!" ”

Soon, a stick of incense had burned to the bottom.

The chefs have brought the pot to the table, and then opened the lid of the pot, and the assistant chef took the bowl for everyone, considering that there was a competition later, so there were not many rides, so it was just a taste.

When the lid of the pot was opened, it was obviously an open-air environment, but it was full of rich porridge aroma, obviously I had breakfast just now, and I was a little hungry when I smelled this fragrance.

Finally arrived at Lin Xia, many people were very disdainful of this, because Lin Xia's performance just now was really bad, and it didn't look like a chef with good skills at all, and she was still pregnant in her belly, so she really didn't know what this woman was here for.

Although the masses were not optimistic about Lin Xia, the three expert judges led by them were very curious about the porridge made by Lin Xia.

And Lin Xia was still calm as usual, glanced at the perilla, and opened the lid of the casserole under the expectant gaze of everyone, and the rich floral fragrance drifted in the air with the white mist, and it penetrated into people's hearts for a while, covering up the porridge fragrance of various flavors just now, leaving only the fragrance of flowers.

Everyone took a deep breath, and the lush aroma swirled around in the chest, moistening the heart, and then slowly sent out, suddenly feeling refreshed and full of energy.

The audience couldn't help but sigh, "My God, it's so fragrant." ”

"I've never smelled such a strong floral scent."

"Is this porridge?"

Although the floral fragrance is strong, it is very fresh and elegant, which makes people wonder whether this is a flower or porridge.

Expert-level Wu Xuan, Gu Lao and Liu Lao all showed surprised looks, and the subsequent mass review was also looking forward to it.

The perilla action is very sharp, and I quickly helped the judges to pack the porridge and wait for them to taste it carefully.

The judges first took a closer look at the porridge in the bowl, and the pale yellow tulip flowers were kneaded in it, looming, and there was a bit of poignant poetry.

Taste carefully in the mouth, the water and rice are harmonious, soft and greasy, soft and mellow, and a trace of undetectable sweetness swings from the tip of the tongue, which makes people feel comfortable from the inside out.

The porridge is also accompanied by a side dish with young leaves, the taste is slightly bitter, but after being mixed with Lin Xia's secret sauce, the bitterness reveals a different taste, and the porridge is a perfect match, making people taste it again and again.

Wu Xuan closed his eyes slightly, as if he was still reminiscing about the taste, and then opened his eyes, and his eyes twinkled like stars, "I am willing to give it to Yalinju, can you give me a small half bowl?" ”

The chef on the stage and the audience were very surprised by the prince's proposal, how delicious is this porridge, so that the prince can't help but ask for a bowl?

Thinking about this, everyone became more and more curious about the taste of the porridge.

Lin Xia and Zi Su were both amused by Wu Xuan's words, but fortunately, Shi Su reacted quickly and stopped laughing in time, while Lin Xia smiled like a flower, and it was good-looking.

That smile fascinated his seductive peach blossom eyes, which made Wu Xuan have a short trance.

"Lord Wang, you still have to taste the dishes of the three rounds later, let's keep some stomach, I will have the opportunity to come to the Twin Restaurants in the future, and I will serve you this porridge."

"Is that true?" Hearing Lin Xia's promise, Wu Xuan immediately reacted and said excitedly: "You are not allowed to break your promise." ”

Lin Xia responded with a faint smile, "This is nature. ”

Then there was the scoring of the remaining six people, all of whom voted for Lin Xia without exception, and there were also outsiders and Yuliang people in the mass review, and they all voted for Lin Xia, and five restaurants were directly eliminated in the first round, which really surprised everyone.

Seeing the ugly faces of the chefs of the other five restaurants, Liu Lao said, "If you have any objections, you can taste this porridge and side dishes." ”

Yalinju was able to get a unanimous vote, and to be honest, they were not surprised.

PS: Tu Tu porridge is a self-created dish, there is no dripping!
