Chapter 203: The Dessert Field

Capital Food Garden

The food competition is about to enter the final stage, but the whole food court scene is filled with sweet smell, as if even the air has a hint of sweetness.

Since the last dish of the first food competition was unexpectedly won by Chef Li's almond tofu of Daoxiangge, the dessert competition of the food competition has become the last fight before the curtain ends.

Twenty outstanding chefs played on the spot, putting exquisite desserts in front of the audience.

The long table was lined with colorful desserts of different shapes, including almond bergamot, candied melon strips, Korean chestnut cake, lotus seed fragrant cake, jade bean cake, two-color water chestnut cake, mandarin duck roll, coconut cake, ruyi cake, assorted sago soup, pearl jade rice balls, lotus root flour osmanthus sugar cake, begonia cake, dragon whisker cake, Dingsheng cake, perilla paste, sesame yuanzi, snowflake cake, sweet wine stuffed, flower cake, a total of 20 dishes.

Let's take a look at the Dingsheng cake of Master Liu of West Lake Lou, the pink cake is plum blossom-shaped, take a bite of the soft and fragrant, sweet and glutinous mouth, sweet bean paste mixed in the fragrant cake, so that the taste buds are fully satisfied, and people have to applaud.

If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be "This thing should only be in heaven, and the world can taste it a few times." ”

The onlookers in the audience were already salivating and exchanged their heads one after another.

A green-clothed brother said: "The Dingsheng cake of this West Lake Building is quite famous, especially this Master Liu, it is said that dozens of poets have written poems for his Dingsheng cake." ”

The person next to him chimed in: "The year before last, I went to visit my old friend and was fortunate enough to eat Master Liu's Dingsheng cake, and I still feel that it is fragrant, and the taste is indeed unforgettable." ”

"I'd love to try it too...... It's almost watering. ”

"I heard that the Dingsheng cake of the West Lake Building is in short supply every day, and the people often compete to buy it.

The audience in the audience was enthusiastic, and the contestants in the audience seemed calm and calm, and they all looked confident.

Pei Xiuxiu carefully observed each of the dishes, turned her face and asked Yuehua, "Master, what kind of dessert is the fifth dish from the left?" How come I haven't seen it? ”

Yuehua said with a smile: "It is called perilla paste, which is made of perilla, cinnamon, tangerine peel, ginger, and licorice ground into powder, boiled with water, and then added with cooked honey, and boiled over slow fire. ”

"Oh." Pei Xiuxiu nodded and said, "It seems that this dessert is not only delicious, but also has pharmacological effects such as clearing fire and dispelling dampness. ”

Yuehua nodded and said, "Hmm!" It's really not simple. ”

The live tasting of the three judges began.

Chef Qin and Imperial Chef Feng were originally from the imperial palace, so they were naturally familiar with these court pastries.

Feng Yuchu said: "This jade bean cake and begonia cake are all common pastries, and they are quite decent, but there are no other outstanding places. ”

After tasting it, Chef Qin said harshly: "Although this almond tofu is taught by a famous teacher, if you want me to say, Chef Li's almond tofu is better back then." ”

Chef Ding of Daoxiang Pavilion said ashamedly: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, my almond tofu is indeed a little worse than Master's craftsmanship." ”

Chef Li, the owner of Daoxiang Pavilion, comforted the apprentice and said: "There is no need to blame yourself, the ruler is long and short, and your thinking tofu is far better than mine." ”

Chef Qin, the former head chef of the Imperial Kitchen, tasted a few more things and commented: "There are also a few impressive dishes, this Dingsheng cake, flower cake and perilla paste are very good. ”

Bae so-so's cake was the last to be completed, so it was placed at the end.

It stands to reason that the number of later appearances will be adversely affected, especially the earlier the food competition, the more praise it will get, and the more the judges of the later dishes may be subjectively affected by these subtle factors due to satiety.

But there are exceptions, such as Bae so-so's birthday cake.

With a distinctive taste and unprecedented innovation, you can't help but forget all the flavors that have come before you and focus only on the present.

"What the hell is this? The soft and sweet taste seems to surround the tongue, making people indulge in the sweet taste and refuse to come out for a long time. Chef Qin tasted the cake in surprise.

"Why is the pastry at the bottom so delicate, the silky and soft flavor is a taste that has never been tasted before."

After tasting it, Chef Qin smiled knowingly, gave a thumbs up and said to Pei Xiuxiu: "I didn't expect Tianxianglou to be not only a great cook, but also a boss." You may be a woman, but I have to admit that you are a talented chef. At the beginning of the game, you said that you could beat most of the chefs in the room, and I couldn't believe it, until now I think you have what it takes to do it. ”

Pei Xiuxiu smiled modestly: "It's over, I just played my normal level." ”

Chef Feng laughed and said, "I finally tasted Miss Pei's birthday cake." A few days ago, the Queen Mother ordered the imperial dining room to make a birthday cake and said that it was a thought after eating, and we couldn't make it after racking our brains, so it tasted like this. Miss Pei, I guess you are the lady who made the cake for the Queen Mother? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the bottom.

"Mrs. Champion? It turns out that she is the champion lady? ”

"Is she the lady of the champion who was kidnapped by the flower thief on the wedding night?"

"The boss of Tianxianglou turned out to be her?"

"It is said that the boss behind the scenes of several Tonghetang in the capital is also her......"

"Genius chef and genius businessman are really impressive!"

"I heard that after the flower thief incident that day, the Queen Mother was going to marry separately, and Mrs. Zhuangyuan used a birthday cake to make the Queen Mother finally take back her life."

…………

Pei Xiuxiu smiled and said: "Thank you Imperial Chef Feng for your compliment, the birthday cake on the Queen Mother's birthday was indeed made by me, but the taste is different from today." This cake is made of three kinds of flowers and four fruits, and the bottom is mixed with red bean paste, which tastes sweet but not greasy. ”

Chef Li praised: "It deserves to be the first, no wonder even the Queen Mother is full of praise." ”

In the end, the master of ceremonies announced unexpectedly: "The crown winner of the Beijing Food Competition is Tianxiang Building, and the golden kitchenware belongs to Tianxiang Building." ”

The applause at the scene was thunderous and enduring.

The wonderful food competition has finally come to an end.

Pei Xiuxiu and Yuehua returned to Tianxiang Building with glittering gold kitchenware.

The onlookers have already surrounded Tianxiang Building.

Rong Er, who was lying on the hospital bed, got out of bed excitedly after hearing about this and went straight to Tianxiang Building.

"Boss, boss, did we get the golden kitchenware?" Eiji rushed in and shouted excitedly.

Pei Xiuxiu smiled happily: "Yes, Rong Er, look...... You have contributed a lot to getting the golden kitchenware Rong Er this time, our Tianxianglou is finally proud of it. ”

The diners praised me word by word: "Tianxianglou is really powerful, so it can finally be as famous as Taibaiju, Daoxiangge, and Taifengzhai." ”

"It's only been a year since I opened the food competition, and it's really a trace!"

Pei Xiuxiu looked at Rong Er and said with a smile: "Rong Er, Chef Qin asked me to give you a message and he invited you to his mansion as a guest." ”

Eiji replied, "Well, I'll visit in person when I'm well." ”

Yuehua also spoke: "Feng Yuchu also has something to bring to you." ”

"What?"

"He said if you want to be a chef like your father, he can help you do what you want."

Rong Er smiled innocently: "I am not a royal chef, my father repeatedly told me before he died to stay away from the fight and live a peaceful life." It's good for me to stay in Tianxianglou, it's happy and interesting, so I don't want to be a royal chef. My greatest wish is to cook well, and I don't care who the diners are, unless you dismiss me, I will never leave Tianxianglou for the rest of my life. ”

Pei Xiuxiu teased: "Dismissal? Who would dare to dismiss you? Eiji, have you forgotten that you are also one of the owners of Tianxiang Building? ”

"Hehe, Miss Pei meeting you is really a blessing that I Rong Er has cultivated in my lifetime, Rong Er can't say anything stupid and grateful, but I have long regarded Tianxianglou as my home, and you are my only relatives in the world."

Pei Xiuxiu saw Rong Er's tears, and said with a smile: "Ah, okay, Chef Rong, why are you sensational today?" We are all friends for life, and your father and mother will be happy for you if they have a spirit in heaven. ”

In this way, although the food competition has come to an end, the interesting stories that happened during the food competition have become a topic of conversation among the people of Beijing after dinner.

The notorious Mrs. Champion in the past was unexpectedly whitewashed, and the people privately discussed that today's Mrs. Champion is a woman, no wonder Zeng Qingfeng, the new champion, would rather take the risk of disobeying the order than to marry her at all costs.

These are street anecdotes, not enough gossip.

In addition, the three words Poppy Zixiang also spread quietly, and some people in King Gongren's mansion couldn't sit still.

Concubine Ying raised her eyebrows and roared: "Waste, what's the use of raising you?" Not even a single person could be found. ”

Several black-clothed men knelt down and said: "Niang Niang, Chef Hao has been missing since the food competition, and we sent dozens of subordinates to find him, according to what his subordinates saw, it is very likely that he has left the capital." ”

Concubine Ying spoke in a sharp voice: "The girl who stole the things has been beaten to death by me, and you will deal with the corpse in the corner later." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

Concubine Ying continued: "According to the spies' report, Chef Hao and Chef Rong are actually the descendants of the imperial chef who was executed in the case of Concubine Xiao, and those two must not stay. and Chef Qin, the former head chef who participated in the case, also wants to get rid of it, he knows too much, only the dead can't speak. ”

"My subordinates will do it."

Concubine Ying shouted: "Slow, do you remember the Medicine King Valley Lord who treated the prince a few days ago?" He is currently in Tianxiang Building, you must be careful of him. This person is not only strong in martial arts, but also good at medical skills and hidden weapons, making him an extremely difficult opponent to deal with. You can think of a way to lure the surname Rong out and then take the opportunity to kill him, so that nothing goes wrong. ”

"The subordinates obeyed, and the subordinates retired."

King Gongren, who was standing on the side, said coldly: "Mother wants to kill anyone, I can't care who the child is, it's just that the valley lord has been kind to me and saved my life, I hope you will let him live." ”

Concubine Ying snorted coldly and said: "It depends on whether he knows each other or not, and the one who stands in my way will die, I hope he is a smart person who knows how to judge the situation and stop in moderation." ”

"The child is gone." King Gongren's lips were white, and he left unhappily.
