Chapter 43: A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix!

Liu Wenzhou looked at Sun Huaimin, the imperial chef under the stand, and then at the people in Tenglong Restaurant who were like ashes, and couldn't help sighing.

A total of seven people judged, and all six of them chose Feihong Restaurant.

It stands to reason that he should choose Tenglong Restaurant to make the score look less ugly.

But... He really can't do it!

Braised shark fin is good, and in any restaurant in Daqian, no diner can deny its deliciousness.

But in everything, the most feared thing is contrast.

In front of the hot pot with both creativity and taste in Feihong Restaurant, the yellow braised shark fin is really not worth mentioning.

He Liu Wenzhou is a particular person, and he really can't vote for Tenglong Restaurant with a clear conscience.

So, he cleared his throat and said:

"I choose hot pot."

Rumble!

Seven judges, unanimously approved!

Is this the appeal of hot pot?

Zhao Tenglong under the high stage trembled all over, and his eyes were about to split.

looked at Sun Huaimin's gaze, and even had a hint of resentment.

"Aren't you the Imperial Chef? Why lose? ”

"Tell me, why did you lose?"

In this gamble, it seems that all the restaurants in Huainan have united to confront Feihong.

But in fact, it is he who leads the way.

First, Tenglong Restaurant is located in the center of the city all the year round, and it far exceeds other restaurants in terms of passenger flow, so it has the most abundant funds.

Second, to compete with Feihong Restaurant, it is also in the name of Tenglong Restaurant.

If he loses, the world will only remember that Tenglong lost to Feihong.

As for other restaurants in Huainan, the impact is not great.

Even, even inviting Sun Huaimin was the one he paid the most.

It can be said that he gambled his entire net worth on this competition.

If you win, you will be full of money. If you lose, you will lose!

Including Feihong, in fact, the restaurant has closed down, and there are still wine shops that can continue to operate, which can be regarded as a way out.

Among all the people present, he was the only one who had no way out, and could only go one way to the dark.

So he can't afford to lose, he really can't afford to lose.

"Cooking skills are all about excellence, and there are countless capable people."

"Although I am the imperial chef, it is normal for someone to be above me." Sun Huaimin frowned slightly.

Zhao Tenglong's attitude made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Zhao Dongjia, don't be rude to Chef Sun."

"That's it, Zhao Dongjia pays attention to the occasion."

"Zhao Dongjia, with such a belly, I'm afraid it won't be a big deal!"

The owners of the other restaurants around also admonished.

No matter how this competition ends, Sun Huaimin is the object they need to woo.

Naturally, he couldn't watch Zhao Tenglong offend him.

"Get out! Get out! ”

But who knows, Zhao Tenglong has been completely hysterical and directly scolded the owners.

Then he stepped forward, grabbed Sun Huaimin by the collar, and asked:

"In the last round, can you win?"

Sun Huaimin looked at Zhao Tenglong, whose eyes were red and almost lost his mind, and he was also a little stunned, and made up his mind to leave Tenglong Restaurant after this competition.

"Logically speaking, eighty percent sure."

"Eighty?" Zhao Tenglong let go of Sun Huaimin at this time, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the high platform, King Jing looked at everyone who was grabbing meat to eat, and couldn't help coughing, and said, "Everyone, it's time to start the third round." ”

It means that you have to save some stomach and have a dish.

Ahem, ahem!

Hearing this, coughing sounds rang out one after another on the high platform.

Everyone stopped the dishes and chopsticks, sorted out the somewhat scattered hair crowns, and sat up solemnly, as if they were not the ones who grabbed the food just now.

Sins and sins, the old man is so rude in front of the younger students.

If it weren't for King Jing's reminder, I'm afraid he wouldn't have reacted yet.

Only Mr. Drunkard, as always, took a sip of wine and a mouthful of meat, and was overjoyed.

The talented people in the audience are not surprised, maybe Mr. Drunkard usually gives people the feeling that this is the case, but he is not like this, but it seems strange.

It's just that a new doubt also breeds in the hearts of all talents.

Is this hot pot really so delicious?

It makes everyone salivate so much!

If you have time in the future, you must go to Fei Hung Restaurant to taste it.

This is also the first time that everyone has the idea of going to Feihong Restaurant. Not because I want to drink, but because I want to eat.

And this is exactly the purpose of Gu Beichuan and Feihong!

"It's the third round, let's serve it quickly." King Jing urged.

Although Xiang Qingfeng is said to be the prince, what delicacies and delicacies of the mountains and seas have never been eaten on weekdays?

But in Feihong Restaurant, all kinds of new ways to eat are really the first time.

So, I couldn't help but have some anticipation in my heart.

King Jing ordered, who would dare not obey?

The third course was quickly presented on the high table.

This time, it was still Tenglong Restaurant that served the food first.

Even though it is covered with a white cloth, there is still a rich aroma wafting out of the plate.

It is worth mentioning that this time the aroma is far more than the previous two!

And when the white cloth was lifted and the dishes were revealed, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

Just because of this dish, the fame is really too great!

Some people will say that the royal Buddha jumps over the wall or braised shark fin, which one is not a palace meal, and it is famous.

No matter how famous this dish is, can it be bigger than the first two?

And yet it is!

I saw that in the bowl, a chicken body was slightly raised, and all kinds of precious ingredients around it surrounded it like stars and moons.

A rich umami smell came to the nose, and people couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so fresh." ”

"It's... Is this a hundred birds and a phoenix? ”

"Not bad! It is indeed a hundred birds and a phoenix! When he was still in Kyoto, he had the privilege of catching a glimpse of it at a state banquet, but he never tasted it. ”

Even if it's an imperial meal, there is a hierarchy.

Some dishes can only be used for the emperor's usual meals.

And some dishes can be on the state banquet!

It is used to participate in the important occasions of entertaining envoys of other countries and even worshipping ancestors!

The royal Buddha jumping over the wall and the yellow braised shark fin belong to the former, while the birds and phoenixes undoubtedly belong to the latter.

According to legend, on the 60th birthday of the orthodox emperor of the first emperor, there was a celebrity chef who presented delicacies to a hundred birds and a phoenix.

When this dish appeared, many birds in the palace took off and hovered over the Jinluan Palace, triggering the vision of a hundred birds singing in unison.

In such a relatively ignorant era in ancient times, can such an auspicious omen be repaid?

So since that day, the famous dish of Hundred Birds and Chaofeng has been included in the state banquet.

The orthodox emperor even ordered that non-members of the royal family should not eat this dish!

It can be seen that it is noble!

It stands to reason that in the court, there are countless imperial chefs. But there are only a few people who can make a hundred birds and a phoenix.

King Jing vaguely remembered that Sun Yuchu should not be among them.

Why now...

Isn't it that in the days when he left Beijing, his cooking skills have improved again?

Seeing that it was a hundred birds and a phoenix, everyone was surprised. Mr. Drunkard, in particular, kept swallowing saliva.

People like him, who love to eat and appetite, can be said to covet legendary famous dishes such as birds and phoenixes.

However, this is a state banquet dish, symbolizing the orthodoxy of the Xiang family, and it is not edible for non-members of the royal family.

He could only look at the ocean and sigh.
