Chapter Forty-Eight: The Race Kitchen
Text Chapter 48 Race Kitchen
"Really registered?" Hu Hua, who had a big face, frowned and asked again.
"Hu Daguan, the little one is really real, it is indeed the little lady you said. Why don't you go and get you back a copy of the contract she filled out when she signed up? ”
Hu Hua snorted, he really meant that. Du Wencheng, who was sitting behind him drinking tea, was already smiling, "It's just a registration, what's there?" We have many famous masters in Jinan. In this cooking competition, there are more than 100 people who have signed up, and you still have to stare at them all? ”
Brushing his mustache, Du Wencheng smiled and said: "It's just a little lady, where is it worth you to be so like a big enemy?" ”
"Who said I saw her as an adversary?" Hu Hua snorted, "I just can't get used to that little girl's family, so wild." Even if she learns cooking from her mother's womb, how many years can she have? How dare you boast that there are few big songs that can compare to her? I don't believe it......"
"Believe it or not, you will know it by comparison, let alone make more guesses now?"
Du Wencheng turned his head with a smile and said lightly: "Don't forget, although this cooking competition is to let our Jinan chefs show their faces, but the most important thing is for that Langjun." If there is really one, the dishes made that person are full of praise, and it is not difficult to follow into Beijing. ”
When Du Wencheng said this, Hu Hua's eyes lit up, and he no longer thought about the little girl,.., ♂ he turned around and sat next to Du Wencheng, and picked up the teacup with a smile, "I said Brother Du, if you want to say that the master in Jinan Mansion, except for you and me, there is no other." The friendship between the two of us is too good to be said. If that Lang Jun really chooses someone to bring back to the capital, no matter which one it is, we can still ......"
"This is natural, the friendship of more than 20 years, can it be broken because of this?" Du Wencheng looked at Hu Hua with a smile, and only said warmly: "No matter what it is." Let's see how about this event, right? ”
There was a pause. He suddenly laughed again: "Maybe the little girl you taboo won't even be able to pass the preliminary round!" ”
When Hu Hua heard this, he immediately laughed and snorted from his nose.
He really looked down on the little girl who could only talk big, even when he saw it in the preliminary round, he was also nostrils to the sky, and he couldn't see anything.
Lin Zhenniang saw Hu Hua. I didn't know each other, but I was on the shore of Lake Daimyo that day. She was very impressed.
This Jinan cooking competition was held in the school field in the south of the city. I heard that the original promoter wanted to borrow the college, but before the superintendent could finish listening, he immediately called someone to blast out the lobbyist. It is only said that the land of books can be dyed with the smell of fireworks. In the end, in desperation, I could only set the location on the school field.
Two days in advance, hundreds of stoves have been built in the school yard. Just right. Enough for the chefs who are here today.
I heard that it is not only the masters of Jinan who came to participate in the competition today, but also from near and far, in Caozhou, as long as they know about it, they will come over to join in the fun. Even if I didn't have the money to make up the entry fee, I bought a ticket to enter the stadium.
Lin Zhenniang secretly praised the initiator as a business genius. After deducting the prize money and all the expenses, the registration fee alone has already earned a fortune. Not to mention the ticket money?
Look at it. There are hundreds of them, young and old. And among them. There were only two women, and the other one was a woman in her thirties.
Because of her age and the dress of an unmarried woman, Lin Zhenniang is very eye-catching in the arena.
It's just that when Hu Hua walked past her, he deliberately didn't look at her. Tilt your head, look ahead, and stride by.
Lin Zhenniang let out a "huh", turned her head and asked the middle-aged man next to her, "Big brother, who was that master just now?" It looks so bullish! ”
"You don't even know Master Hu?" The master was a local, and he stared at Lin Zhenniang several times before he seemed to be relieved and said "oh", "The little lady just came from other places?" No wonder I don't know Master Hu's reputation. If you study art in Jinan, even if you don't have a teacher, you should know Master Hu's reputation......"
After a pause, he looked at Lin Zhenniang with a sigh of emotion, "Your family really spoils you, and you can take out a hundred taels of silver for you to play......"
Lin Zhenniang frowned, a little annoyed, "Master, I'm also a chef, a real chef!" ”
Seeing that the master laughed, but it was clear that she still regarded her as a rich daughter who came to take money and have a happy time, Lin Zhenniang was angry and annoyed, but she didn't bother to explain anything.
The chef on the field whispered, and the judges on the stage who had come up with a topic and invited the judges were either famous talents in Caozhou or powerful squires.
Born wealthy, he is particular about eating and drinking. So when Du Wencheng and Hu Hua's chef guild was preparing for the conference, they specially invited these people to be judges. It's just that the one they care about the most didn't attend the preliminary round.
As soon as the topic was revealed, the chefs immediately fell silent, but only for a moment before they made a noise: "How can it be so simple? It's also too pediatric......"
Some of the judges on the stage coughed lightly, stood up, and said loudly: "Don't make noise!" Do you think it's easy? Then why don't you ask Master Hu, Master Du and others if they think this topic is simple? ”
Although Lin Zhenniang was far away from the audience, she also heard the person in front of her say the topic.
At this time, I heard the man in green shirt on the stage shouting and asking, and I couldn't help muttering: "It's not simple, it's not simple at all......"
Although the title is only two words: cabbage.
But you need to know that this chef, the simpler the dish, the more kung fu is tested.
The same cabbage, some people make it light and tasteless, but some people make it, but it is no different from the world......
The middle-aged master next to her obviously knew this truth, and couldn't help nodding, "It's really not simple, the little girl is good!" ”
After a pause, he stretched his ears and listened to Du Wencheng's loud voice and laughter standing in front of him, and couldn't help nodding, "What the hero sees is slightly the same as ......" The meaning of the words is quite proud, and he is quite proud that he has the same opinion as the well-known master in Jinan.
Lin Zhenniang glanced at it, shook her head, and ignored him. As soon as it is announced that the ingredients can be selected, immediately go to the food section.
For today's topic is cabbage, the first choice is cabbage. Lin Zhenniang was fast, first grabbed the cabbage and squeezed out of the crowd, and looked back at the slow cooks huddled together to pick the cabbage, and couldn't help wiping the sweat on her forehead.
In addition to cabbage, there are many other accessories in the food section, as well as various dry ingredients and condiments.
Lin Zhenniang hesitated, but walked quickly to the seafood area, selected a few seafood such as dried scallops and dried shrimps, and then went to the dry adjustment area to choose a piece of ham and other spices.
This cabbage has always been an ingredient for testing the chef's skills. If you talk about this cabbage, how ordinary people do it can be regarded as a nutritious dish. However, in a big restaurant, if you also come to Taoist cooking cabbage, it is equivalent to losing your skills.
Fortunately, Lin Zhenniang's master in her previous life was best at making cabbage in clear soup.
Although it's called clear soup cabbage, don't really think that this is boiled cabbage.
The soup that looks like a puddle of clear water is actually a carefully boiled soup. It is made by boiling seafood, ham, chicken broth, etc.
At this time, it must be too late to boil chicken soup. A cabbage, the judges will not have so much patience waiting for you to boil chicken soup. So Lin Zhenniang temporarily replaced the ingredients of the broth.
But that's it, the speed at which her clear water cabbage is served can be regarded as the second-to-last.
In this round, the judges didn't have the patience to taste them one by one. Carrying chopsticks and walking all the way under the service of the little guy behind him, before he finished the long table, he had already brushed down most of the people.
It's either that the appearance is not good, or the fragrance is insufficient, and some judges even said bitterly that "it's for pigs".
Although Lin Zhenniang also participated in a cooking competition in her previous life, the competition in the studio was far less intense than it is now. When the judges gradually approached, she couldn't help but get nervous.
"This ......" paused, and an elderly man who looked like an old pedant bent down slightly, and ordered the dish in front of him with chopsticks.
"Boiled in water?"
"This dish is called clear water cabbage," Lin Zhenniang hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, "However, whether this is boiled in clear water or not, you have to taste it to know the old gentleman." ”
The old man glanced at Lin Zhenniang and didn't speak, but the middle-aged man behind him smiled and said: "This looks good, the clear water is floating and the leaves are green, but it also makes people feel refreshing......"
"If you like it, please ask for it."
The old man took a step back and motioned for the middle-aged man to step forward.
When Lin Zhenniang heard the surname "Wu", she couldn't help but take a look at it.
Although I doubt that this is the martial artist of Dingtao, but think about it, in Jinan, even if he is a martial artist, he may not know who she is. Afraid of what?
The second official of the martial arts was polite again and again, but still stretched out his chopsticks. I took only a stick of cabbage and put it in my mouth.
Originally, it was just a polite taste, and these judges came all the way, and they only tasted a few dishes.
However, when he took a bite of cabbage, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but drop his chopsticks again.
Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks. After tasting it, his eyes turned to Lin Zhenniang, and then he smiled at several other people: "A few people also come to taste this clear water cabbage......"
Seeing that several judges stretched out their chopsticks, Lin Zhenniang couldn't help but breathe.
Turning her gaze, she happened to meet Hu Hua's gaze, she grinned, and compared a "tree tree" with her hand, Hu Hua was stunned for a moment, and then turned her head angrily.
After a round of competition, the preliminary competition of more than 100 people was brushed down by more than 70%, and less than 30 people remained.
And these people, after the second round of competition, can only be left with ten people to enter the finals.
Lin Zhenniang, who successfully entered the semifinals, looked left and right, and was also a little nervous.
When she saw the woman in her thirties, her eyes flashed and she immediately smiled.
The woman met her gaze and seemed to be stunned, looked left and right, and then looked away.
Although the woman ignored her, Lin Zhenniang didn't think so.
Although she is an opponent, she still feels happy when she sees the advancement of the same sex...... (To be continued.) )
