Chapter 113: The Secret Villain
Since the effect of the Nine Towers cake, more people have a reason to come to the door to ask for Mobao, and they are willing to spend a lot of money to donate to the poor, but Song Yao has been distressed for a few days, and she doesn't even dare to go out.
However, Song Yao still received some people, and the first one to get her ink treasure was the shopkeeper of the antique shop, and naturally got the inkstone promised by the shopkeeper, as well as a lot of money for polishing the pen.
But Song Yao did not receive all the people who came to ask for Mobao, but promised to only produce one calligraphy and painting at most a month.
So many people had to give generous gifts to bribe Song Yuanbao, and they had to donate silver taels to the Chamber of Commerce at a high price, otherwise they would not be eligible to make an appointment on Song Yao's roster.
Of course, Song Yao will never only collect a deposit, but ask the other party to pay the full amount before it can be recorded, so that if someone accidentally goes bankrupt, she will not work in vain.
In a blink of an eye, it was the finals of the Chef God Competition.
The format of the Grand Final is different from the previous one, but after three rounds of elimination, there is a repechage round.
So until the last game, the outcome is still not certain.
Song Yao is in the limelight, and she is the winner in every round, although she is not as eye-catching as the Nine Towers Cake, she is also the highest score in the field.
Today's competition is a test of the chef's true skills, using ordinary chicken, duck, fish and cabbage and potatoes as raw materials to make at least 10 kinds of soup dishes, and the taste cannot be repeated.
It is possible to prepare your own trimmings, but the trimmings will affect the score of the dish.
Players are given a total of three days to prepare, but the preparation venue must be within the examination room.
In order to avoid stealing teachers, each small kitchen is separated by a curtain, and even the judges are not allowed to open the curtain, unless the contestant takes the initiative to open the curtain.
"Madam, the pit has been dug, just ask the flower chicken to be handed over to me, and I promise that it will not hold Mrs. back!" Qinghai, who had just rushed back, volunteered to help Song Yao.
It may seem a little difficult to call the flower chicken to outsiders, but this way to the south, Qinghai does not know how many times it has been done, and the craft has already been perfected.
"Okay, by the way, looking at this stove, the roast duck must be delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside." Song Yao was still relieved of Qinghai's cooking skills, and encouraged: "If you get a high score for these two dishes, I will reward you with 10,000 taels of silver and keep it for your daughter-in-law." ”
"Thank you, Madame!" Qinghai Yi was so happy that he forgot to lower his voice.
In an instant, people came out of several competition venues, wanting to know what was going on on Song Yao's side.
Even the judges, who couldn't help but come over and ask.
The angry Song Yao kicked Qinghai and warned him to take care of his mouth.
Song Yao has already taught a few other dishes in the small kitchen, and only the key seasoning needs to be done by Song Yao.
Song Yao chose five meat dishes, namely: roast duck has a mellow taste and is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, called flower chicken is crispy, saliva chicken is spicy and fragrant, and shiitake mushroom drunk chicken has the effect of improving immunity and labor pain, which belongs to medicinal food, and the chicken with dried onions and black beans is tender and smooth.
Vegetarian dishes were a few of the ten dishes made for Mr. Yung Chuan that day.
For some reason, Song Yao always felt that this competition was prepared for her, and she didn't need to bother thinking about the dishes.
The vegetarian dishes are: Bergamot Guanyin lotus, dry pot potato chips, chrysanthemum tofu, green bamboo primrose, and phoenix clothes made of duck meat and winter bamboo shoots.
Although not all of these dishes are vegan, they are better in taste, and their appearance and name can also add points.
Song Yao saw that there was plenty of time, so she wanted to take the opportunity to promote her shrimp powder, a green vegetable soup that did not see meat and fish, after adding shrimp powder, the taste instantly increased several times, which was most suitable for these judges who lived by the sea most of the time to taste.
"Ma'am, it's not good." Red Sleeves suddenly spoke, pointed to the stove and said, "Someone has moved on our stove, and it can't be a fire at all." ”
Song Yao's face sank, she thought that it was because of the stove that would make the small kitchen smoke, but it turned out that there was a problem with the stove.
"Let's see if we can handle it." Song Yao spoke calmly.
The two subordinates immediately stepped forward to check, shook their heads at Song Yao and said, "Madam, most of the back of the stove is blocked by mud, there was a fire just now, if it is forcibly opened, the stove will be damaged, and it will be completely unusable." ”
"What can I do? Without one stove, you can't make ten dishes. Redsleeves said anxiously.
Song Yao lowered her chest with one arm, knocked her chin with one hand, and was silent without speaking.
Qinghai asked a maid to light the fire and came over to look at it for a while, but he couldn't do anything about the stove.
"Remove the pot of chrysanthemum tofu." Song Yao calmly commanded: "Make shallots mixed with tofu." ”
"Nine hot dishes, one cold dish, it's also feasible." Red Sleeves nodded, and hurriedly instructed everyone to take care of their stoves and do things according to Song Yao's instructions.
"Open the curtain and let the smoke out." Song Yao's eyes fell on the curtain, and a meaningful smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
"Madam, when the game is over, the subordinates will find out who did it." Qinghai said in a low voice.
"No need, just look at which small kitchen pays the most attention to us, and you will know who is secretly doing the trick." Song Yao stood by the window, beckoned to the red sleeves, and said in a low voice: "You have a show with me, and someone gives me a big gift, and you have to pay a tribute or two in return." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Redsleeves nodded.
Song Yao gestured to Red Sleeves, motioning for her to pay attention to the small kitchens on the left.
After the curtain was opened, Song Yao commanded loudly: "Everyone quickly dip a handkerchief in water, cover their mouths and noses, and don't faint from the smoke." ”
"Madam, if the stove is broken, we won't be able to cook ten dishes, but we will be deducted points!" Red Sleeves shouted anxiously.
"Put out the fire first, don't let the other dishes smoke is the first thing, it's already a blessing to be able to keep the nine dishes, where can you take care of so much!" Song Yao said with a little anger.
Qinghai saw that the smoke had cleared a lot, so he took a pile of firewood, put it in an empty basin and lit it, and then put it at the window and fan it with a fan.
People outside who didn't know thought that Song Yao's small kitchen was on fire, and the smoke was very terrifying.
Giving a thumbs up to Qinghai, Song Yao continued to shout: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and put out the fire, the ten dishes are wasted, and our efforts in the past few days will be in vain." ”
"Quick, put out the fire!" Red Sleeves shouted in agreement, and shook her head at Song Yao, signaling that there was no problem on her side.
Song Yao bowed her head slightly, she had already determined which opponent's yin trick was used, and if there was a next match, she would definitely return it twice.
Seeing the situation, the judges had already strode towards Song Yao's side.
Song Yao whispered: "Quickly put away the basin and get busy." ”
Covering her mouth with a handkerchief, Song Yao stood by the window and coughed lightly.
Seeing this, Red Sleeves also instructed everyone to follow Song Yao's example and make the appearance of being choked by the smoke.
When the judges rushed over and listened to the coughing sound in the kitchen, they couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" ”
Song Yao waved her hand and did not speak, holding the joints of the window frame faintly white.
