Chapter 71: Winning Again (Seeking Collection, Seeking Recommendation)
"A few people, you're welcome. The young boy glanced at the other judges, picked up his chopsticks, and smiled and reached out to the fish with shredded green onions and ginger on the surface.
With a touch and a twist, a piece of soft white and delicate fish meat broke away from the fish, and finally fell into his mouth with the young man's movements.
The young man closed his eyes and savored it carefully.
Then the other judges also picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in their mouths, leaving Master Xie looking at them with nervous eyes.
After a moment, the young man replied, "Not bad." Master Xie's steaming skills are very good, which not only retains the freshness of the fish itself, but also eliminates the unique earthy smell of the river fish, and it will not have a very heavy taste like sweet and sour fish, braised fish, sauce fried fish, etc., which is natural and natural, impartial, good!"
After Childe finished speaking, he reached out and took a large piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth.
Master Xie grinned, feeling very satisfied with the young man's judgment.
As a chef, I love this kind of good diner who can eat.
"Soft but not waxy, whole but not broken, plus a little elasticity...... The taste of the whole fish has been completely preserved, and it is indeed worthy of the master chef and good craftsmanship. Among the five judges, the man who looked like an old man gave a thumbs up.
Master Xie continued to laugh, smiling psychologically.
"The flavor is just right, which not only retains the umami of the fish itself, but also does not lose the refreshing taste of green onion and ginger, which is very good, I like it very much. Then, another judge was not stingy with praise.
"Thank you, thank you, judges. ”
In short, it means that Master Xie's steamed fish is very good, very pertinent, and very satisfying to the five judges.
The shopkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a smile on his face, but it didn't last, and soon, it disappeared from his face with the appearance of Chen Hu who came out with the tray.
"I've kept you waiting. Chen Hu walked to the judges' bench with a smile on his face, put the tray down, and said politely.
"What I present to a few of you is my Chen Hu's special, summertime vegetable and winter melon soup. ”
As he spoke, Chen Hu opened the altar cup, revealing the cleanliness inside.
A misty glow emerged, dazzling everyone's eyes.
"This ......," the five judges were surprised.
"Is this a spiritual food?" exclaimed the young man's eyes as if he couldn't believe it.
Then everyone in the audience was in an uproar, as if they couldn't believe that in such a low-end competition, they could still see the appearance of spiritual food.
So in an instant, it was not Master Xie who was the shopkeeper of Deweiju, and the faces of the two of them became gloomy and difficult to look at.
Chen Hu smiled slightly, and did not explain the difference between the dish he made and the real spiritual food, but just started to serve the winter melon soup for the five judges, and invited, "A few please." ”
The five judges looked at each other, and they all saw excitement in each other's eyes, and without hesitation, they each picked up the soup bowl and took a spoon and took a bite of the clear soup in the bowl.
Fresh is the first feeling, and the feeling of delicious taste then swells into the hearts of the five judges through the touch of taste buds, and the psychedelic picture scroll unfolds in the minds of the five judges, putting a scene of summer struggling in their hearts.
Spring flowers and green grass, abundant things, a harmonious natural scene.
The five judges seemed to be unconscious, spoonful after spoonful of winter melon soup until the bowl was emptied.
"I felt the taste of nature. Coming back to his senses, the young man said with unfinished satisfaction.
"This is obviously winter melon soup, why, why do I have the feeling of eating something else?" asked another judge with a puzzled face.
"It's very simple, because this soup is made by me using the mountain delicacies in the seasonal summer vegetables and some vegetables that will not be restrained by themselves, and then through the bamboo shoots, remove the miscellaneous flavors and magazines, so that it can be restored to the middle and peaceful, and then add watermelon flesh to adjust the taste, so that it matches with the winter melon, so that this bowl of winter melon soup looks like an ordinary bowl. Chen Hu explained with a smile.
As for the aura to enhance the taste, stimulate the overflow of the essence of the ingredients themselves, these guys may not understand it, and they may also make trouble for themselves, Chen Hu will not explain it again.
"I see, no wonder there is such a rich taste and layer in a bowl of winter melon soup, Master Chen's craftsmanship is really superb, and I admire it again. The old man was convinced.
"The old gentleman has won the prize. "Chen Hu is modest, so that he will not make himself look like he is arrogant.
"So, Master Chen, where is your mean?" asked another judge.
"The whole soup is made of summer vegetables, which coincides with the time of day and takes the natural taste of heaven, isn't it mediocre?" Chen Hu asked with a smile.
"Yes, the unity of heaven and man, the beauty of everything, is indeed the golden mean. Another judge exclaimed.
The tasting process then ends and the scoring phase begins.
The shopkeeper stepped forward and announced, "If you think Master Xie's steamed anchovy is good, please put the chopsticks on the edge of the plate." ”
The five judges didn't move, and couldn't help but glance at each other.
In exchange, Master Xie's face was completely pulled down, and he looked as ugly as a dead relative.
The shopkeeper is the same, and he can't bear to read it.
However, it was difficult to stop in front of everyone's eyes, so I had to continue with a hard head and a bad heart, "If you think Master Chen's summer vegetables and winter melon soup are good, please put the spoon in the bowl." ”
"Bell!"
Five white porcelain spoons fell into the empty bowl almost one after the other.
Needless to say, Chen Hu won the contest with an absolute advantage.
Seeing this, Chen Hu smiled, did not further stimulate Master Xie, simply exchanged a few words with several judges, then turned around with a kitchen knife and left Deweiju and disappeared into the streets of Yanyun City.
The news spread like the wind, once again publicizing Chen Hu's reputation and pushing him to the forefront, putting a lot of pressure on the few remaining restaurant shopkeepers in Yanyun City who had not been challenged.
"Master Zhao, if that Chen Hu comes to challenge, are you sure you can beat him?" asked one of the shopkeepers to his chef.
"It depends on the rules of the game. ”
"What about today?"
"Then it depends on the proposition, if it happens to be the type I'm good at, maybe I can. ”
"Aren't you completely sure?"
"The opponent can make spiritual food. Master Zhao smiled bitterly.
Lingcai, the symbol of the special chef, although it is not absolute, still gives them great pressure on these chefs who cannot pass the special grade and can only work under others to earn hard-earned money.
......
"According to the current progress, after I have challenged all the well-known restaurants in Yanyun City, I should be able to complete the main quest. Chen Hu, who returned to reality again, looked at the highlighted main quest on the system interface, and said secretly in his heart.
Then turn off the system interface and think about the arrangement after the pull-up.
After all, he can't just stay in a hotel, can he?
