Chapter 40: The Final Four, Part III
When we came to us, I and I drew three or four groups respectively, in other words, if we both won the first place in the group, we would both make it to the finals - I was relieved the moment the numbers came out, and at the same time, out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the Japanese squid god also made the same move, and it seemed that we were both under a lot of pressure......
After the lottery ended, except for the first group of people, everyone else has gone down, according to the usual practice at this time can go, I just went to the lounge to find Simon brother and their party, before they left, a person next to him hula rushed to me, and said with a smile: "This brother, can I ask you something?" ”
I looked twice and found that this person was familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, I remembered that he was the second chef of the stewed pig's feet with stinky tofu, so I said, "What? ”
"Our master is about to compete, he said, can you watch his game before leaving?" The second chef rubbed his hands and said, "How can I say it, after all, my master is participating in this kind of competition for the first time, and I feel a little panicked, and a friend is there to watch him, and my heart is much more solid."

It doesn't matter if I think about it, I'm idle anyway, and I'm not the same as being made to cook when I go back, just stay here and talk about it, and if I'm lucky, I can mix up the lunch box at noon, so I agreed without asking other people's opinions at all: "Since your master has said it, then I have to give this face - how many of you are?" ”
"Third," the second chef said, "we're going to get ready soon, why don't you go over and find a place where Master can see for a while?" ”
"Okay!"
When we came back to the stage, the first and second dishes had already been made for the most part, and the guy in the first place was making happy fish, in other words, the kind of dish that was fully cooked but the fish was not dead after being served on the plate - this dish has a number of key points, first, the selected fish must be extremely vigorous, and second, the gills of the fish cannot be removed, but must be kept; The third is fast, you must be as fast as lightning to disemboweh the fish, scrape the scales to remove the fins, and then quickly cut out countless holes in the fish with a quick knife to cut the mess, and at the same time the pot should be mixed with seasonings, and the fish meat is cut immediately after the body is fried in the pot to taste, and it is quickly served to the guests!
What I need to explain here is that I didn't learn this dish from anyone, but I came up with it when I saw the oil pot hell in the eighteen layers of hell in the underworld, and the two are roughly the same, the only difference is that one is fried by evil spirits, and the other is fried by fish......
The dish made by the second position is to braise the lamb, choose the best lamb to slaughter, take the meat between the first and fourth ribs and cut it into strips and steam it on a plate, of which three points are the most noteworthy: first of all, the lamb must be cleaned after killing, leaving no trace of blood, so that after steaming, there will be no smell of mutton; The second is that a certain amount of spices or orange peel licorice needs to be added to the steamer, so that the fragrance can penetrate into the lamb. The third is the most critical, that is, in the process of steaming, the mutton must be just steamed, the mutton begins to be eight points soft, and the mutton is fully cooked, so that the steamed mutton will have a layered taste and a clear taste, but these three replacements can not let the heat leak out and cool down halfway, so it is very rare to make such a dish - from the preparation process of the No. 2 player, he seems to have prepared a unique steamer, and a pull-out box that can quickly take the ring spices is opened in the middle, and the spices are placed in it. Unfortunately, the thickness of the spices is not uniform, and the taste of the mutton is very different......
In less than ten minutes, the two grandsons' dishes were ready, and they got two not-so-low scores:
The No. 1 position has 90 points and the No. 2 position has 86 points, which can be regarded as decent.
Then, the stinky tofu stewed pig's feet came to the stage as the No. 3 contestant, and I was happy when I heard the name of the dish - this dish is actually called 'beef ramen', and what is even more amazing is that I didn't see beef at all, and even the stew soup is only mushroom soup - it seems that this girl's skills are not shallow, and this simple dish dares to take out the competition!
The dish of No. 4 is also decent, mainly for cooking after seafood processing, because I didn't pay much attention to the relationship between stinky tofu and stewed pig's feet, so I won't repeat it here.
After the soup was put into the pot, he did not simply use the hand kneading dough, but with the help of a bamboo pole seven or eight meters long, one end was fixed, and he himself held the other end, and the kneaded dough was rolled with a bamboo pole, so that the noodles were more tough and elastic, and could be stretched longer and thinner.
When this guy started ramen, my guess came true, he pulled out a bowl of noodles that looked more like a dragon's whisker, the thickness was close to a hair, put it in the pot and immediately boiled all over the tree and the flowers were beautiful, and after a little boiling, he jumped into the bowl, and the soup was presented to the judges, and it was really praised!
However, there are also people who are picky in the bones, and one of the glasses judges deliberately grandiose: "Aren't you beef ramen, where is the beef?" ”
Stinky tofu stewed pork knuckle said indifferently: "There is no beef." ”
"Then why do you call beef ramen - this is not good, young man, the consumer will sue you!"
"Probably not, I'm not lying," stinky tofu stewed pig's feet cracked and laughed: "My surname is Niu, and I pulled this ramen, why can't it be called Niu Ramen?" ”
The judges were in an uproar, and the glasses were a little unable to get off the stage, and said angrily: "Even if it makes sense, but if you bully consumers, others will not come again - this is inconsistent with our view of cooking for the people, right?" ”
Stinky tofu stewed pig's feet said sincerely: "My store is in a tourist area, and I don't expect them to come again - it's enough to come to the current tourist attractions once, who comes twice Isn't it brainstorming?" ”
The glasses were dumb, and the other judges laughed and leaned back in joy, and finally gave him a high score of 92, which can be regarded as an encouragement to this cow ramen......
After accompanying the beef ramen, I took everyone home to rest, there is only one group of games every day, and if there is no accident, our competition time should be three days later, since it is useless to keep it like this - the most important thing is that I heard that the TV station gang doesn't care about food at noon, so why should I keep it!
After we went back, we summed it up a little, as far as the current situation is concerned, our first love barbecue should be able to win the roll, the main reason is that in addition to Ruoxi's work in the middle of the night last night, it seems that there is no other particularly powerful chef in addition to the Japanese squid god, as long as we can get this guy, our first place is stable and can't run away.
In the evening, the news came that the results of the first group of competitions came out - but what I never expected was that the winner of the first group was actually Niu Ramen, whose 92 points were not broken until the end, and finally justifiably marched to the final as the first place!
Now I look down on these players even more - the cow ramen can win the first place, this is really no one, what am I afraid of!
Therefore, the next day of the competition, only Ren Xiaoyan was left to watch the live TV broadcast, and after watching it, he told me that the winner of the second group was actually the one who roasted the camel in the preliminary round, and he also chose to roast a camel crookedly, and then he couldn't roast it all because of the time, but the roasted part completely satisfied the appetite of the five hundred mass judges, so he was shortlisted, but I didn't expect him to qualify as the first in the group.
After the results came out, the Japanese squid god also called me, and the implication was relatively simple, that is, to reconfirm the recipe in my hand, because he and I rarely agreed that the strength of the players in this competition was too poor, and the champion should be born from us, so he took a step ahead to care about what he was about to get.
After asking, I found out that the sun squid god actually has four recipes in his hand, which are people walking tea and cooling, daydreaming, chicken flying eggs and oil is not in a hurry, I also divided the recipes in my hand into four ways to make a bet, and agreed with the sun squid god that on the day the champion came out, he must hand over the recipes to avoid long nights and dreams, and this grandson responded very happily.
On the third day, the sun squid god won without a doubt......
Although I didn't care too much about the situation of the game in the past three days, I thoroughly investigated the situation of Yi Yin, Peng Zu, and Yi Ya in the hands of the squid god next day, and the three are all famous kitchen gods in history, so I have to guard against it!
The first is Yi Yin, who is a native of the late Xia Shang Dynasty, that is, a native of Kaifeng Qi County today, who once assisted the Shang Tang King to establish the Shang Dynasty, and was respected by later generations as a virtuous minister in Chinese history, and was enshrined as the 'Shang Yuan Sage'. The 'Five Flavors Harmony Theory' and the 'Fire Weather Theory' that he founded are still the constant rules of Chinese cooking.
The five-flavor harmony theory is to use different raw materials (meat and vegetable seasonings) with different characteristics, texture and original flavor to reasonably match and use appropriate cooking methods and seasoning methods to produce another unique taste, taste and texture of the dish; The theory of heat is that different dishes must be cooked over different heats, and only the right heat can make the most delicious dishes.
Yi Yin once assisted the king of Shang Tang to destroy the Xia Dynasty, and helped Shang Tang formulate various rules and regulations, so that the society and economic development in the early Shang Dynasty were stable, so as to become famous all over the world. He assisted the five emperors of the Shang Dynasty in his life, he 'taught the people to harmonize the five flavors, created the art of Chinese cooking, and opened the river of food for future generations', occupying an important position in the history of Chinese culinary culture, Yi Yin statue was respected by the Chinese culinary industry as the 'sage of cooking', 'the ancestor of cooking' and 'the saint of cooking', to a certain extent, his status in the culinary world is as high as the status of the God of Gambling in the gambling world!
As for Peng Zu, there are two things that have been passed down to this day, one is that he is old, and it is said that he has lived for more than 800 years; The second is his cooking skills, according to the ancient book, Peng Zu should be the first in the history of our country...... Professional Chef!
Because Peng Zu was good at preparing delicious pheasant soup (pheasant soup), he was dedicated to Di Yao to eat, and was sealed by Di Yao in Dapeng (now Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province). Peng Keng is the ancestor of the Peng tribe, and his descendants will reproduce, mainly because of his 'pheasant soup way' ancestor, so he will be called Peng Zu, and his descendants will be called Peng Zu. Peng Zu's 'The Way of Pheasant Soup' has gradually developed into 'The Way of Cooking', and the Pheasant Soup is the earliest famous dish recorded in China's classics, known as 'the first soup in the world'. In the history of Chinese cooking, Peng Zu is said to be 'the first famous professional chef in China' and the 'longest-lived chef', and is still revered as the grandfather of the kitchen.
Yi Ya is the first cook to use the matter of harmony to cook, good seasoning, very good at cooking. Because he was a chef and had high cooking skills, he was the first person to open a private restaurant, so he was also called the ancestor by chefs. Yiya's connection with Pengcheng (present-day Xuzhou) in the state of Qi has made him famous in today's food culture. Qi cuisine is the earliest local flavor cuisine in China, and later became one of the four major cuisines in China (Shandong cuisine), with its fresh and salty crisp tenderness, unique flavor, fine production reputation at home and abroad, all changes are inseparable from it, this is from the Yiya initial formation of the cuisine in the update, but there is no substantial change.
Through this series of introductions, you should know how many dicks the opponents got by the Sun Squid God, but I'm not afraid of them, because - this grandson is not a legend, but a wandering soul that belongs to the underworld like Kong Laoer, in short, it is the private property of the underworld, what am I afraid of them doing?
I didn't do anything, not just because I was the one who controlled the plane, but because my sense of honor and dignity didn't allow me to do this, so ...... I asked Lolita to do it!
