The highlight of the main stage food competition is being carried out in a unique way, and for a while, the whole venue is filled with fragrance, and the sound of tinkling spoons comes and goes.

The chefs who were shortlisted for the specialty section were required to complete three specialty dishes within the specified time, and then went through the scoring mechanism of each other and the judges, and finally decided the top winner based on the total results of the three rounds.

The golden kitchenware in the prominent position on the main stage sparkled, and the chefs worked hard to get the highest honor of gold kitchenware.

Imperial Chef Feng and Chef Qin, who had seen the scene, were naturally unfazed, and the scale was still a little smaller compared to the imperial dishes of the banquet in the palace.

However, there are also many dishes in the food competition that have become famous because of their unique taste, and have been selected into the palace to become the favorite court dishes of the palace nobles, such as last year's ingots burdock, the year before last's dried scallop crystal chicken, and so on.

The audience was already impressed by the superb skills of the chefs.

Amazing knife skills, perfect spoon flipping and plate in one go, every action seems to be the embodiment of the audience has been tempered a thousand times.

It can really be described as one minute on the stage, ten years of work off the stage!

Yuehua opened her mouth and asked, "Ugly girl, have you figured out what to do?" ”

Pei Xiuxiu looked around and replied, "Don't worry, let me think about it again." Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, I am observing what everyone is doing? ”

Yuehua said: "Chickens, ducks, fish, birds, animals, all over the world, delicious delicacies, I think all those who sing the leading role are these." The ingredients in front of everyone's eyes are the same, the key is how to choose the ingredients and how to make a different taste. ”

Pei Xiuxiu thought carefully and said, "I have already decided on two dishes, but I am still hesitating about one more. ”

"Do you need me to do anything for you?" Yuehua asked.

Pei Xiuxiu stared at him seriously and asked, "Master, what do you think of our golden chicken steak?" ”

Yuehua nodded and replied: "It's not bad, but if you compare it in the food competition, will the taste be too simple?" ”

"Single?" Pei Xiuxiu touched her head, and finally shouted like an empowered: "What did I think of the third course?" Master, you have really helped a lot, and we have started to prepare. ”

"Well, what do you need me to do? Despite the commands. ”

"Hmm."

After two hours, it was finally time for the special dish evaluation.

The first course of the 20 chefs was placed at a long table, and the 20 chefs lined up to taste and score in turn, and the five dishes with the highest scores were selected and the final evaluation was made by the three judges on the spot.

After the emcee counted, he announced: "The five dishes with the highest scores are Taibaiju's sliced duck, Changzhou Jiwangzhuang's chicken, Yuelaige's Cantonese roast pigeon, Taifengzhai's roast whole sheep, and the last shortlisted is Tianxianglou's Kende chicken." ”

"Oh my God, three of the five dishes with the highest scores are chicken."

"I've sung both the sliced duck and the Kentucky chicken, and the taste is really not high, but I haven't eaten the flavor of the chicken."

The onlookers and the audience talked about it with relish.

After the three judges tasted it in turn, Chef Li, the owner of Daoxiangge, said: "Sliced duck is a traditional famous dish in Beijing, and Taibaiju's sliced duck is particularly famous. The selected duck is roasted in the oven, and the roasted duck is jujube red, bright and oily, and the skin is crispy and the meat is crispy. After using a blade to put the duck meat under the single cake, dip it in a special sweet noodle sauce, stuff it into the mouth, it is not delicious, and the lips and teeth are fragrant, which makes people want to stop. I give this dish a perfect score of 10. ”

Chef Qin and Imperial Chef Feng also gave a high score of ten out of ten, and the sliced duck was beautiful for a while.

Now it's the turn of Changzhou Jiwangzhuang's chicken farm, Chef Qin nodded and praised after tasting it: "This chicken dish is quite amazing, and the reason why it stands out is related to its unique taste." The chicken skin is bright, plump and fat, the aroma is refreshing, the chicken is crispy but not rotten, the chicken juice is oily but not greasy, the mouth is not hard and not rotten, the taste is not thick or light, and then the fragrant and fresh meat is added, and the fragrant marinade is fragrant, which makes people have a great appetite and endless aftertaste. ”

The three judges unanimously gave the chicken three perfect marks.

I just tasted two dishes and there were two perfect scores, and everyone saw that they were happy and relished.

The next Cantonese roast pigeon and roast whole sheep unexpectedly also got full marks, and the audience at the bottom began to hold back, and began to talk about each other.

"How can there be four perfect scores? The competition was so exciting, it was so intense from the first course. ”

"Yes, yes, I wonder if Tianxianglou's Kende Chicken can get me full marks?"

…………

Yuehua asked softly in Pei Xiuxiu's ear, "Are you nervous?" ”

Pei Xiuxiu bent her eyebrows and said with a confident smile: "Nervousness does not exist, Kender Chicken has withstood the test of hundreds of millions of people for hundreds of years, I was worried that Kentucky Chicken was not popular, but seeing that the Kentucky Chicken diners in our Tianxianglou lined up to buy it every day, I dispelled my doubts." After all, true food is connected. ”

After Feng Yuchu finished nibbling on the last bit of Kentucky chicken, he wiped his mouth and said, "I'll give eleven points to Tianxianglou's Kentucky chicken." ”

"What? Did I hear you right? Chef Li laughed helplessly: "One more point out of the full score?" ”

In the end, Chef Li gave 10 points, and Chef Qin also gave 10 points, so that the final score of Kentucky Chicken was more than 31 points out of the full score, which stunned the audience.

Chef Feng explained: "I can only explain the quality of the meat and the taste that I can't explain, the incomparable deliciousness, the addictive taste, I can only describe it as unprecedented." ”

Pei Xiuxiu bowed politely in thanks, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously showed a hint of pride.

Who says women are inferior to men? Who says that a female chef can't be a skilled?

Obviously, the gaze cast on her was no longer contemptuous, but replaced by respect and convincing that should not be underestimated.

It was about two hours of cooking time, and twenty dishes from twenty chefs were placed on the long table.

The dishes that were successfully shortlisted for the top five in this round are: geoduck in thick soup, Yipin abalone, superb sea cucumber soup, Kaiping mandarin fish, and golden fried three rows.

After tasting it, Chef Qin was full of praise for the thick soup geoduck: "This dish soup is full of umami, fresh and crisp, sweet and delicious, and it is not comparable to the sea cucumber soup, and I personally prefer this dish." ”

Chef Li of Tao Heung Court has a different opinion, believing that Chef Tai Fung Zhai's superb sea cucumber soup is better.

It was the turn of Tianxianglou's golden fried three-way show, and in front of the judges was a dish with a golden appearance and an unsightly appearance.

Feng Yuchu picked up a piece and tasted it, the crispy skin, the tender and delicious inside, and then dipped in a special sauce, can only be described as delicious.

When he picked up the second piece and put it in his mouth, there was a look of surprise on his face, it was obvious that the taste had changed, and along with the taste of the sauce.

Feng Yuchu couldn't help but want to try the third piece, and this time the taste did not disappoint him either. It turns out that the exact same appearance contains three flavors and three sauces, and you can't help but weigh it in your mouth.

"How did you do that?" Feng Yuchu, who has always been rigorous, actually joked after tasting the golden fried three rows: "Can I continue to give you eleven points for a round of absurdity?" ”

"Thank you for the praise!" Bae Xiuxiu responded politely.

Chef Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "I tasted chicken steak in the first row, and pork loin in the third row, but what kind of ingredients are used in this second row?" Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it melts in your mouth. ”

Pei Xiuxiu replied: "Cod, a fish that is not common in the deep sea, but the meat is extremely delicate and delicious. When I was looking for ingredients, I found that there was even cod, so I decided to cook it without hesitation, and sure enough, its taste is special. ”

Chef Qin added: "Actually, the most special thing about your dish is its sauce, three different sauces are sweet and sour sauce, salty and hot sauce and tomato sauce, which can be combined with different meat qualities to have such a wonderful taste. ”

"Yes." Pei Xiuxiu said with a smile: "Every sauce is carefully developed by me in private, which is the spirit of our Tianxianglou has always been conscientious and dedicated to studying food, bringing delicious food to diners, so that diners feel happy because of eating food, which is our consistent purpose of Tianxianglou." ”

"Well said! No wonder your Tianxianglou is so popular? I appreciate it. Chef Qin touched his white beard and praised.

Only Yuehua, who was on the side, smiled secretly in her heart: "The ugly girl has started to promote her advertising concept again." ”

"I announced that the second course was tied for first place with the three rows of soup geoduck and golden fried, and then the third specialty dish continued."

Yuehua turned her face to Xiuxiu and said, "Well done, what are you going to do with the third course?" ”

Pei Xiuxiu smiled: "Of course, it's the turn of desserts, and my magic weapon birthday cake is on the scene!" ”

Yuehua clasped his hands on his chest and nodded: "If that's the way, I estimate that your probability of winning the game is nine out of ten." ”

"Isn't that right? Birthday cake is an indispensable existence of food hundreds of years later, this is a superb delicacy praised by the current Queen Mother, and the most likely thing to do is Master You, except for me. There is no one else. This craft must not be passed on, and I will make a fortune from it. ”

Yuehua sighed helplessly: "Brother Linghu is right, when it comes to making money, your eyes light up, do you know that a gentleman loves money......

Pei Xiuxiu immediately corrected: "It just so happens that I am not a gentleman, but a woman!" ”

Yuehua smiled bitterly: "It seems that it is hopeless to expect you to improve your medical skills, and you really accepted the wrong apprentice as a teacher." ”

"Master, there is no regret medicine in the world, you should hurry up and help me make cream?" Bae so-so winked mischievously.
