Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Barrel

Lin Fan finally searched for the dish he wanted to make, because he saw a huge poster in the center of the square with the title of the competition

Group stage: Unusual cuisine

Knockout: Specialty snacks

Semi-finals: Home cooking

Finals: Banquet

This is why Wu Gong was worried before, because chop noodles can only be regarded as special snacks at best

Since you want to be different, let's make a real visual difference! Lin Fan thought of a dish, he didn't know if anyone had ever made it here, but looking at the audience under the sun, he suddenly felt that it was very good to do this, at least it could satisfy the audience, you know, even he had never eaten it, but now he is extremely confident, he believes that the judges can let him enter the knockout round, and he believes that the audience will recognize him

Wu Gong breathed a long sigh of relief in the audience, because he finally saw Lin Fan move!

At this time, half of the hourglass had flowed, and most of the contestants on the field had entered the final stage, only Lin Fan had just started, but Lin Fan was the last and very remote, so no one paid attention

Finally, after an hour, the hourglass ran out at this moment

"It's time! Please stop all the actions of the contestants, and ask the five judges to comment, starting with the No. 1 contestant! The beautiful host said loudly

I heard that the five judges came to the competition site, because there were too many contestants, so they did not procrastinate and started the selection directly

At this time, the contestants presented their finished dishes on the food truck in front of the table!

The first contestant, a bowl of soup pot and a bowl of soup

"What's the name of your dish?" Anita Mui asked

The first contestant was a middle-aged man, and he said: "Judge, this dish is called puffer fish and jade shoot pot!" ”

"Pufferfish? It's interesting, let's talk about it," Liu said

"Judges, this dish is to first deflavor the puffer fish, and then with the bamboo shoots that have been soaked in celery juice, add, ginger, ginseng, yam, wolfberry, cordyceps boiled, because the time must be five hours, so it is specially heated and boiled over high heat, and it takes an hour to officially come out of the pot, because taking into account the original umami of the pufferfish, so there is no detoxification, and the bowl next to it is a specially configured detoxification soup, you only need to drink the detoxification soup after eating the pufferfish," the middle-aged contestant said

Lou Jinxi took the lead in tasting a puffer fish pot, then tasted a mouthful of detoxification soup, and then said: "Although the total score is 10 points, I can only give you 5 points for this dish!" The puffer fish pot is originally umami, and it is too heavy with supplements, which is easy to get angry, and the detoxification soup is obviously made of precious medicinal materials. ”

The middle-aged player had a bitter face, he did know that this was indeed over, but the detoxification soup needed precious medicinal materials to detoxify

Lou Jinxi saw his hesitation and said: "Actually, you can try to put the ingredients of the detoxification soup and the puffer fish into the pot together, which can not only hold the umami of the puffer fish, but also avoid over-measuring medicinal materials, don't speak, I know it's difficult, but this needs to be developed, and if it is presented in front of me, it will be 5 points!" ”

The middle-aged man really wanted to speak and stopped, because Lou everyone waved his hand

The other four tastes also gave their own scores

Wu Meimei: 7

Anita Mui: 3

Liu Yong: 8.5

Lou Jinxi: 5

President Zao Wou-Ki: 6.5

Total score: 30

The second contestant was a fried sweet potato vine with green pepper fish fillet, which several judges thought was not bad, but Lou Jinxi was the first to taste it, and praised No. 2, thinking that it was very innovative to process the most ordinary things into food

Second overall score: 35

After that, the judges basically shook their heads, and some just glanced at it and thought that the match was unreasonable, and even the tenth contestant made Lou Jinxi scold, saying that he really ate this dish and definitely got food poisoning

The thirtieth contestant, a young man of about twenty, was about the same age as Lin Fan

At this time, the judges saw a plate of golden boxes wrapped in meat, and the judges all smelled a fragrance!

"What is this?" Wu Meili asked

Young man: "Eggplant box!" ”

"Huh? The name of the dish is simple, what is your name? This dish looks and smells very good, well, and there are egg and eggplant aromas, let's talk about it," Zao Wou-Ki said

"Judges and teachers, my name is Liu Neng, this dish first chops mushrooms, meat, green onions, and ginger together, puts seasonings to make a filling, and then digs out the eggplant meat in the eggplant, and also chops it into the stuffing and stirs, and then stuffs the stuffing into the eggplant box and steam it in the pot. When it is steamed, out of the pot, mix the egg with flour to make a paste, put the eggplant out of the pot into the paste and roll it around, turn it over in the oil pan, and take it out when it becomes golden, it is fragrant and crispy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, naturally there is meat and egg fragrance, and the eggplant is soft and fragrant. ”

"I'll Taste It"

It's still Lou Jinxi, after he finished speaking, he picked up an eggplant box and tasted it

"Well, good, crisp and delicious on the outside, fragrant and tender on the inside, very good, and very innovative, 8 points"

At this time, several other people also tasted it

"How is 8 points enough, I give 9.5 points," Liu Yong wiped his mouth and said

"8.5" Anita Mui

"9 points" Wu Meili

"9 points" Zao Wou-Ki

No. 30, Liu Neng's total score: 44

The young man smiled, this is the highest score on the field so far, and it is also a dish that has been unanimously praised by the judges, he is very happy, he glanced at Liu Yong with his spare eyes, and cast an excited gaze!

This was followed by all kinds of criticism and corrections, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and it was only then that he reached the seventy-sixth place

Seventy-six is a young girl, in her early twenties, with a melon seed face, ponytail, a white chef's suit, and a pink apron, very beautiful and cute

She made fried wings

"The flavor of these chicken wings is so special, the meat is tender and melts in your mouth, and the chicken is very fragrant, but it seems to be different from ordinary chicken...... One bite down, first crispy, then soft and glutinous, and finally a little spicy, and when you finish eating, the aftertaste is full of strange fragrance, how to do it? The indifferent Anita Mui praised heartily for the first time

The girl blushed and said hard: "That, that, the recipe for this dish is very simple, that is, the chicken wings and tenderloin are first cut with a knife, and after being kneaded with cornstarch, the meat becomes soft, and then ......, and then the steamed sweet potatoes that have become soft and glutinous are pressed into a puree, and the chicken wings and tenderloin are put in it, and they are constantly crushed with a bowl. In this way, the tendons of the meat are crushed, and the teeth are not stuffed and chewy, and the sweet potatoes are also pressed into the gaps between the meats, and finally, a layer of sweet potatoes is stained on the surface and then put in the peanut flour and roll around...... Fry it in a pan and it will be cooked in a while. ”

"No, the novelty of this dish is really good, little girl, how about coming to our hotel after the game?" Anita Mui pulled the girl and said

"Huh?" The girl in the pink apron blushed a little, she didn't expect the jury to recognize her like this, she learned her father to cook since she was a child, because her father said that he found him extremely talented, and many things were taught to her by her father, and this time she needed to innovate She thought of the fried chicken wings that her father had made, but she just changed the program, to be honest, she hadn't tasted it herself, but she suddenly had this practice in her heart, and she just had the attitude of giving it a try, so she was in a daze at the moment, she didn't know how to answer, do you want to agree? Or continue to be the owner of the food stall in his hometown?

"What's your name?" Lou Jinxi asked after tasting it

"Ah, oh, my name is Zhang Yiwan," said the girl, blushing

It can be seen that the girl rarely deals with strangers and has a thin face

"What? A bowl of Zhang? Liu Yong was surprised, "You are a girl, this name ......"

Zhang Yiwan immediately lowered her head, she was very embarrassed, because indeed, many people would be surprised and even laughed at when they heard her name

Lou Jinxi glanced at Liu Yong very uncomfortably and said: "What is the name of your housekeeper, I will express my position first, and I will give 9 points for Zhang Yi's bowl of fried wings!" ”

"Heh, let's talk about it when your game is over, I'll give 9.5" Anita Mui said with a smile, while she stared at Liu Yong coldly

Liu Yong is very angry, because he just asked the name of the person, and the two of you were upset? And he always had the best candidate in his heart, even if he thought that this fried wings were better than the previous ones, but he still said: "I give 8 points"

He didn't dare to be too obvious, he thought that there was an opportunity behind him, but he knew that he had already prepared for it, and he had given him the topic early, so he believed that it should be fine

"8.5" Wu Meili said, but her eyes kept looking at Liu Yong, as if she was saying something

And Liu Yong also found out, and he winked at Wu Meili

Zao Wou-Ki saw the judges at this time clearly, and he even noticed every detail, but he wouldn't stop it, because there were some things he knew, but as long as there were real ingredients, he wouldn't mind, but this fried wings were really delicious

"9.5" Zao Wou-Ki gave his rating

No. 76, Zhang Yiwan scored: 44.5

At this time, the reporters' cameras flocked to Zhang Yiwan, just like the previous praise of the judges, they would catch the focus at the right time every time

And the audience drooled again and again, praised again and again, and the most said was "Ah, it turns out that you can still do this!" ”

The more than one-hour tasting in the group stage of the entire food competition was not cold at all, but the enthusiasm of the audience became higher and higher, and they even shouted for them to try it several times!

Finally, after nearly two hours, Lin Fan finally arrived, fortunately the organizer has special insulation and preservation tools, otherwise I am really afraid that the taste will change!

At this time, a few judges arrived, and they saw that there was a big wooden barrel on the dining car, to be honest, even the judges didn't notice Lin Fan in the corner when they competed before, and the five judges were surprised when they came over, either they were plates, or soup bowls, etc., you are good, just a bucket? Is this better than the food or the quantity?

"The name of the dish" was still Lou Jinxi who spoke first, although he was also surprised, but he knew that it was now being selected

Lin Fan was very proud at the moment, there was no way, he really had a lot of knowledge and dishes in his mind, and even the taste of each dish was in his mind, so he was extremely confident and proud, so he didn't have stage fright at all, but said with a smile, "Sausage claypot tomato sauce rice - a bucket!" ”

Zhang Yiwan, who was far away, was shocked when she heard the name of Lin Fan's dishes, I don't know why, she felt so familiar!

Peacock Mountain

Lu Yuan cried and stumbled down the mountain, shouting as he ran: "Wang Bald, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to"

Lu Yuan was in rags at the moment, and he ran in the direction of the mountain

At this time, if an outsider sees it, it must be very strange, because if it seems to outsiders, Lu Yuan has been running in circles in a small area, and he is not on the road at the foot of the mountain, but at the gate of a ruined temple......
