In particular, the shopkeepers of the other three restaurants except Baxian Lou and Juwei Zhai can be said to be happy.

After all, the status of Baxianlou and Juweizhai is difficult to shake, they can rank in the top five in the entire capital, and their reputation is loud enough, and they are enough to gain a firm foothold in the capital.

Zheng Mingyuan was calm and calm at this time, and his anger was not obvious, but Chen Guiming's face was floating with a layer of anger at this time, and he looked at Zheng Mingyuan, "Chef Zheng's cooking skills are getting more and more sophisticated." ”

"With each other, Chef Chen is getting better and better." Zheng Mingyuan responded with a smile.

But this smile was full of ridicule and provocation in Chen Guiming's eyes, he snorted coldly, and then brushed his sleeves away.

Zheng Mingyuan, you wait for me!

----

The next day, the second cooking competition was held.

Today's lottery is fish, pork, the cooking method is stew, and the promotion method is five into three.

And today another rule has been added - one and a half hours, the food cannot be served in advance, and it must be delivered for the judges to taste at the last time.

As soon as such a rule was announced, the onlookers were also stunned.

Fish and pork are both meat dishes, and both of them can become the main dish ingredients, at this time to mix the two together, I am afraid that it is not easy to integrate, a little bit of the ratio of these two ingredients is easy to affect the taste.

In addition, there is time to serve the food.

It's winter, if the dish is done too early in advance, the dish will become cold, which will completely affect the taste and taste, and even the quality will not look good.

But if you don't hurry up, you may not have enough time in the end, and when you are in a hurry, it will also affect your state, and you will not be able to cook high-quality food.

In short, the difficulty of cooking today can be said to be even more difficult than yesterday.

All the cooks looked solemn and did not dare to slack off, and after thinking for a long time, they began to choose the ingredients and ingredients they wanted.

After the five cooks had been busy for half an hour, one of the cooks stood up with a dejected face, "I give up." ”

Someone gave up?

The crowd immediately began to discuss.

"It's all up to this, just make a dish, even if it's the worst, it's fifth, what's the point of giving up?"

"You don't understand this, this cook, who has been cooking for a lifetime, has very high requirements for himself, so naturally he will not allow himself to casually make a dish that cannot be put on the table."

"Yes, open your mouth and give up, so as to leave yourself some decent ......"

When someone said this, the others were silent for a while, but they looked at the cook's eyes with a little more admiration.

After all, at this time, those who have the courage to open their mouths to say and give up are also very determined.

With this cook, he opened his mouth to give up, and another cook, after a cup of tea, looked at the dishes in his hands and also stood up to give up.

When the first person said to give up, everyone was quite surprised, but when the second person opened his mouth, everyone was quite accustomed to it, and did not say much.

It's just that today it was five into three, and now there are two people who have given up, so the remaining three people, can they be directly promoted?

When Chef Fang was slicing fish, he suddenly thought of this layer and was immediately overjoyed.

He can basically conclude that he can be promoted, no matter what he cooks, he will be in third place!

Good luck!

Chef Fang's heart was full of joy, and the corners of his mouth were even more smiling almost to the root of his ears.

At this time, Zheng Mingyuan and Chen Guiming didn't care about anything else, and only concentrated on cooking their own dishes.

Soon, an hour passed, the gong sounded, and it was time for the judges to taste the food.

The dishes of the three were served to the judges in turn.

First of all, Chen Guiming made a boiled fish, the fish is a gas, the bottom of the pot is fried with fat pork belly, boiled with various ingredients with fish over high heat, simmered slowly over low heat, scooped at any time when eating, the taste is hot and the fish is tender, the taste is also more stewed and more flavorful, such a stewed fish has a rich taste, quite domineering to occupy people's taste buds, everyone tasted it, they were full of praise.

Then there is the boiled fish made by Chef Fang, the taste is also fresh and spicy, the taste is fresh and tender, although it is not as good as Chen Guiming's craftsmanship, the fish meat is also divergent because of the cooking time, the taste is too soft and rotten, but it can barely be eaten when eaten.

Finally, Zheng Mingyuan's dish is not a dish or a vegetable pot, but an extremely deep soup cup, one cup per person, and the amount does not look large.

Look at this, about fish stew?

Everyone was surprised and curious, and when they opened the lid of the soup cup and saw the snow-white balls floating on it, they suddenly understood-fish ball soup!

The fish balls are freshly beaten, the tendon is delicious, the soup is obviously boiled with fish bones and fish heads, the taste is light, delicious and delicious, and the most important thing is that this fish ball is wrapped in a juicy meat filling, every bite is an excellent enjoyment.

And after eating the two very flavorful dishes of boiled fish and boiled fish, I only feel that the taste is more and more delicious after eating such a bowl of fish ball soup.

The judges nodded their heads in recognition of the fish ball soup.

Soon, the three dishes were tasted, and the judges announced the results of today's second round of competition.

"The one who will advance to tomorrow's competition is Chef Chen of the Eight Immortals Building, Chef Zheng of Juwei Zhai, and the others will be eliminated!"

When the words landed, Chef Fang was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, "Today is not five into three, I gave up the two, and the three of us can be promoted, why am I eliminated?" ”

One of the judges was Sun Yuchu in the palace, and he pouted when he heard this, "It's because you have such a mind, so you don't take this competition to heart, and you even forgot the original rules of the competition?" ”

"This competition requires fish and pork, and the method is stewed, not to mention that you can't see pork in it, not to mention, even the method is boiled, not stewed, it really can't be qualified." Someone on the side chimed in.

Chef Fang was speechless, and slapped his head with a face, his face full of chagrin.

O iniquity!

It's a mistake at this juncture!

Chef Fang was eliminated, and tomorrow's third round of competition will only be Zheng Mingyuan and Chen Guiming, and it is really time to compete against each other.

Everyone is also talking about this.

"Who do you say will win the first place tomorrow?"

"If I had put it aside, I would have guessed Chef Chen of the Eight Immortals Building, but after the competition in the past few days, I think Chef Zheng is very likely."

"I also think that Chef Zheng's performance is good every time, and tomorrow's competition will definitely surprise everyone."

"yes......"

Chen Guiming clenched his teeth when he heard such discussions.

Zheng Mingyuan won the first place?

What can he do!

But as those people discussed, Zheng Mingyuan's dishes these few times are extremely good.

Take today's dish as an example, to use fish and pork to cook, he only thought of pork stewed fish, but Zheng Mingyuan was able to open his mind and make wrapped fish balls.

Not to be underestimated!

Tomorrow's Contest......
