CHAPTER XXVI
Hearing the sound of a gong, an old man shouted, "The competition begins!" Both sides please take their seats, the first scene, dim sum class, the theme is snow. β
"Snow?" The audience exclaimed, "I don't know who put this topic in?" In this cold day, the theme is snow, I'm afraid that the ten judges on the stage will eat their stomachs? β
Immediately, someone replied lightly: "That's not necessarily, it's just about snow, if it's just like snow, it's also in line with the topic." β
"My brother is right, he seems to be a good eater."
"Whereever, it's just greedy for appetite, it's not worth mentioning, haha, it's not worth mentioning."
The person next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and explained loudly: "You two know at a glance that it's not from Wangcheng, right?" The competition between the restaurants in this royal city pays attention to personal skills, sound, color, taste, and thinking, and if you only break the problem from the appearance, you are doomed to lose. β
"And so much more?" Hearing this, the two of them were very surprised, but they didn't care about the dislike between this person's words, and asked with a sincere face, "Please also ask the elder brother to explain?" What is a technical ...... What's the technique? β
"Technique, sound, color, taste, thought." The elder brother was also quite helpless, looking at the two of them who really didn't understand, so he had to explain, "This skill refers to the skill when cooking, and the sound refers to the sound and color of the dish when cooking; Taste, as the name suggests, is the taste of the dish; As for this thought. "The old brother sold a pass," You can only appreciate it when you taste it, and you can't understand it. β
Su Liang looked at the people who were talking next to him, and he was also very curious, and asked, "Is the chef in Wangcheng so particular?" β
Zhou Chongzhi nodded, and responded: "That's true, after all, there is no shortage of others in the royal city, there are many clan officials, and the hierarchy is strict, which naturally gives rise to many behaviors that arise in order to show their identity. β
At this time, the two sides on the stage were ready, so Su Liang stopped talking and looked at the two people on the stage carefully.
After the two of them gestured to each other, they each chose their own ingredients, with a crisp knocking sound, I saw the red chef drink softly, sprinkled the flour into the basin, and then turned around and raised a long-spouted teapot high, with his back to the basin and threw it back, the water swirled and shook in the air, and finally all of them were connected to the basin, and then turned around and slapped the table, and the basin bounced up into his left hand, and he was holding a short and smooth wooden stick in his right hand, stirring quickly, and as the wooden stick stirred the flour and water, it hit the wooden basin, There was a beat, and music was played.
The blue chef did not lag behind, quickly reconciled the flour with the same beat, pulled the noodles out of the layers of filaments, stretched out his hand, and the white light of the noodles outlined the pattern of snowflakes in the air, and then withdrew them all, causing bursts of applause.
Su Liang looked at the two people on the stage in surprise, and said with some suspicion: "This is ...... Cook? β
"yes." Zhou Chongzhi also sighed a little, "If it is in our academy, this is to be scolded by the teachers, a waste of time and a waste of ingredients." β
"The last palace banquet was not so fancy." Su Liang looked at the continuous sounds of the two people cooking on the stage, and gradually converged into a pale vocal music, this song, listening to it, really reminded people of the middle of the winter night, with snow drifting.
Zhou Chongzhi lowered his head when he heard this, and whispered in Su Liang's ear, "The palace banquet, in fact, is much more unpalatable than the dishes in ordinary restaurants, the dishes on it are all set at the founding of the country, more, just a symbol, if it weren't for some major festivals that must be feasted, the king himself is afraid that he doesn't want to eat very much, you didn't see it, even if it's the Wanshou Festival, it's just an early end." β
Su Liang nodded, I see, no wonder there are such unpalatable dim sums.
The vocal music on the stage has come to an end, both sides have reached the finishing stage, suddenly a strange fragrance wafted out, only to see the chef of the red side opened a black jar, carefully took out some of the powder inside, and sprinkled it evenly on the dim sum, the snow-white particles are dotted on the crimson petal-shaped dim sum, just like a red plum after the snow, proudly blooming, when the red chef lifted the plate, almost everyone was hooked by this strange taste, and seemed to be in no mood to see the blue chef's work at allEven the blue chef himself couldn't help but look at the red chef's plate, and his eyes showed a look of longing.
Su Liang's face instantly cooled when he smelled this strange smell, he looked at the red chef on the table with some expressionless faces, waved out a jade bottle, opened the jade bottle, and a stronger and pungent smell instantly spread, and Zhou Chongzhi, who was closest to him, trembled unsuspectingly, and covered his mouth and nose quite quickly.
Others were even more deeply affected by it, and couldn't help but scold: "What does this smell like? Who's pulling the kids here or what's the matter? Hurry up and pack up. β
"Good rush! My eyes hurt from the smoke. β
"What happened? What's the situation? β
"Grossβ"
"Don't throw up, oh my God, it's even worse."
When there was a shortage of soldiers in the audience, Su Liang jumped on the stage directly across the crowd, looked at the red chef with cold eyes, snatched the black jar, and then pinched the recipe with one hand, a little flame on his fingertips, and burned the freshly made dim sum to the brink.
"Su Liang, what are you doing?!" On the high platform, Li Baoying walked out of the tent with an angry face and looked at Su Liang, "Even if you are good friends with Xie Yunzhao, you can't act so recklessly!" Is this the case with the daughter taught by the great teacher?! β
"Sister Liang? What are you doing here? Here, Xie Yunzhao walked out of the tent in surprise.
"The daughter of the Great Master?" The smell of the audience gradually disappeared after Su Liang burned the snack, and the riot subsided, and when they heard Li Baoying's question, they all looked at Su Liang in surprise.
"Are you really the daughter of a great master? But what's wrong with this snack? Someone shouted from below.
Li Baoying was angry and glared fiercely at the person who asked the question, "Even the daughter of the great teacher can't interrupt the competition for no reason, right?" It's just a snack, and I haven't eaten it yet, what's the problem?! I'm afraid you don't have a bad brain, saying such things. β
When Li Baoying said this, the man was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly hid in the crowd, not daring to say anything more.
"Ah Liang is not a reckless person, there must be a reason for her to do this, it is better for Miss Li to listen to Ah Liang's statement, and it is not too late to be convicted." Zhou Chongzhi stood under the stage and looked up at Li Baoying.
"Oh?" Li Baoying squinted, thought for a moment and smiled, "I didn't expect Zhou Langjun to be there, then I'll listen, Miss Su, why did you burn this cook's dishes?" β
"This can of stuff, you can't eat it." Su Liang replied, "I can't smell it." β
"Hah, why?" Li Baoying secretly clenched her hands, but asked with an incredible look on her face, "This is the unique secret recipe of Zuixianglou, could it be that Miss Su can't see that others have good things and want to grab them?" β
Su Liang shook his head, "There are iQue Grass and Blood Ling in here. β
"What's that?" Li Baoying smiled disdainfully, "It's just two spirit plants, isn't this normal?" β
Su Liang frowned, "This is not normal. The fugue grass, which makes people hallucinate, and the blood, which makes people lose their sense of pain, these two are mixed together, and it is easy to make people fall into madness, don't you notice that everyone present just now is attracted by the smell? β
Li Baoying laughed even more sarcastically when she heard this, "What else do I say to you?" This chef has good skills, and the dim sum he makes is delicious and attractive, isn't it normal? Still in madness, how come I never knew that these two spirit plants still have such an effect? β
"I've never been a fan of dim sum, and I've just been fascinated by the taste."
"Yes, it's just a snack, no matter how delicious it is, before the pungent smell just appeared, I drooled when I looked at the snack, and as soon as the pungent smell appeared, I immediately sobered up."
"You think so."
The onlookers in the audience recalled the situation just now, communicated with each other, and looked at the jar in Su Liang's hand suspiciously.
"Girl Li, I said why are you so confident today, it turns out that you are thinking about drugged." Xie Yunzhao looked at Li Baoying, his eyes were quite disdainful, "Such means have been used, no wonder Fenggong values Li Xiaolangjun more." β
Li Baoying's silver teeth were about to be crushed, and she squeezed out a sentence for a while, "You have to show evidence when you speak, Master Xie, you can't pour dirty water on me for no reason." β
"Proof." Xie Yunzhao raised his head with a smile, "The things in my sister's hand, take them to the medical hall for inspection, but I don't know if Miss Li dares or not?" β
"After talking for a long time, it turned out to be the secret recipe." Li Baoying slowed down, and her smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, "If the head of the Xie family had seen this secret recipe, why would he have acted like this with Miss Su?" β
"You don't have to go to the hospital." Su Liang interjected, "I have a spirit measuring stone." β
Li Baoying looked at Su Liang in disbelief, "Spirit Measuring Stone? β
Su Liang nodded, "If it is poisonous, it will become darker, and if there is a spirit, it will become lighter." β
"The spirit stone is so big, you really can't carry it with you, or do you want to go somewhere else, don't you want to take this secret recipe and leave?" The corners of Li Baoying's mouth were slightly hooked, and she didn't know what Su Liang thought, as long as she didn't let go, what else could she do?
"No, I did." Su Liang motioned to the two cooks on the table to let go, waved his hand, and a two-person high stone suddenly fell in the middle of the stove, smashing a small hole on the floor on the table.
Li Baoying's eyes jumped twice, and she looked at the spirit stone on the stage a little sluggishly, how did this thing appear?!
Su Liang pointed a little spiritual light, opened the black can, the aura firmly blocked the mouth of the can, and a trace of powder was wrapped in aura and flew towards the spirit stone, only to see that the original gray spirit stone turned into a rich dark color when it was contaminated with powder, and now, the people on and off the stage looked at Li Baoying.
Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, the smile on Li Baoying's face could no longer be maintained, and she turned her head to look at Li Wan, who was stunned from beginning to end, and said indignantly: "It is poisonous?!" Li Wan! How dare you lie to me?! β
Li Wan was dumbfounded, "No, clan sister, you ......"
Before Li Wan finished speaking, he was gagged by the people on both sides and pulled down, Li Baoying straightened her sleeves, turned around and cried: "It's really poisonous, thanks to Miss Su's knowledge, it didn't make Baoying make a big mistake, the owner of this drunken incense building was originally a side branch of the Li family, a few days ago I found me and said that the head of the Xie family was too strong, and the restaurant couldn't open, so Baoying stood up for it, so it seems that he lied to me." β
Su Liang nodded, "Don't use this secret recipe again in the future, I can't say what the consequences will be." β
"Thank you, Miss Su." Li Baoying wiped her tears, "Then I'll leave first today, Miss Su, I'm sorry." After speaking, he hurriedly got off the high platform with people and left quickly.
Only then did the onlookers in the audience react, looking at the dark spirit stone and Su Liang, and cheered, "It's really the daughter of a great master!" It's still so kind-hearted. β
"Yes, yes, you have the demeanor of a great teacher!"
"Su girl, Su girl!"
Zhou Chongzhi looked at Su Liang, who was indifferently putting away the spirit measuring stone on the stage in cheers, and suddenly smiled.
