Chapter 5: The King of Chefs
Ji Lian was satisfied with his heart and continued to speed up the movements in his hands. Started making an exclusive sauce for sliced pork in a sauced pot.
Looking at it again, Liu Dacai leaned lowly, I didn't expect this girl to be like a different person, and her sword skills have changed for the better? ! At this time, he didn't dare to be contemptuous, and immediately accelerated the movements in his hands.
At this time, Ji Lianchu heard an excited voice in his ears, and when he looked up, it was the idle king who came to watch the game, and even bet on winning or losing, and people nearby came to watch the excitement.
Helian Xu initially saw that Ji Lianchu was not in a hurry and was lagging behind others, and was anxious for her.
But he was slightly stunned by the knife skills like flowing water, and the figure that was about to get up sat back again, sitting solemnly, holding the armrest, but his eyes stayed on the refreshing and beautiful figure. Look at what is being carved with the plain hand under the arm, is it trying to get a score for ingenuity? Looking at the current situation, the worry in my heart disappeared, replaced by relief and the excitement that my guess had been confirmed. His gaze softened, and Ji Lianchu's bright face appeared and disappeared under the wind. She seemed to notice something, her eyes met, Helian Xu naturally became restrained and cramped again, and the roots of her ears were slightly red without realizing it.
The game entered the white-hot stage, and Ji Lianchu restrained the apprehension in his heart, so many people were present and couldn't be coaxed.
Just when a stick of incense burned out, the two hours ended. Many of the contestants' works were shuffled and placed in front of the judges.
Among the colorful dishes, they are basically decent, but one dish stands out from the crowd and is exquisitely presented. There is also a lifelike lotus flower in the center of the saucer. There is quite a kind of artistic conception between fish and lotus leaves. It's refreshing and bright.
Fu Jiaqi: "When the time comes, now we will enter the scoring stage, please taste the judges and give the scores."
After a while, Fu Jiaqi began to announce the results.
"Congratulations to Kyoto Ji Restaurant and Zuitian Restaurant for tying for first place, everyone applauds and welcomes!"
In the end, the news of two winners stunned those present. There has always been only one winner, and according to the rules set by our ancestors, the winner will become a free VIP user of all restaurants, where they can taste all the food and give suggestions for improving their meals.
The two winners are afraid that they will not be convinced.
As we all know, Liu Dacai has been operating Zuitian Restaurant for many years and has an excellent reputation. However, Ji Lianchu is just the newly appointed shopkeeper, the draw made Liu Dacai feel ashamed, but he didn't want to admit that the future was terrifying, he felt that Ji Lianchu must have been taken care of, maybe he had some ulterior secrets with the judge, and the dirty thoughts came spontaneously, and Liu Dacai's gaze at Ji Lianchu became more and more disdainful. I don't know that I prepared the recipe for the competition in advance, and I don't know that my aunt Liu Yanque scored high in order not to let him lose ugly.
"Damn, you're a girl......" was about to scold and change his words, "Shopkeeper Ji, this time it doesn't count, you compare with me again, compare fruits and vegetables, how about it?" Liu Dacai pointed at the orchid, and he was bound to distinguish the winner and loser, but he didn't see his aunt Liu Yanque's eyes, so he had no hesitation to compete with Ji Lianchu for the first place.
Naturally, he can't lose, how can a personable beauty lose to a yellow-haired girl? Where is the face of his big shopkeeper?
"I don't care, let's compete again, this time I will never let you go."
After Liu Dacai finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Helianxu who was watching.
"Please also ask His Royal Highness King Xian to be a witness, Liu is polite."
"It's okay, it just so happens that this king looks interesting, there has always been only one champion, and you can't break the rules, what do you think of Shopkeeper Ji?"
is exactly what I want, Ji Lianchu thought that if the draw can't tell the winner or loser, then the deal between her and Helianxu will be non-negotiable.
Ji Lianchu turned his head to look at Liu Dacai, who was a dead duck with a hard mouth, "You're embarrassed." ”
The implication is that she was afraid that Ji Lianchu would refuse, so she actually lifted the mountain of Xianwang to lure her to fight again. It's really skinless and faceless, what do you say to release your own water.
Liu Dacai is naturally not very embarrassed, but who made Ji Lianchu, a dead girl, so powerful, thinking that it was a soft persimmon, but he didn't expect to hide a hand, so what carving is simply the finishing touch! But he didn't want to admit defeat, and it would damage his face if it was spread in the future. So he coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, "I'm not trying to win, I want to compete with you!" ”
At this moment, a beep sounded in the information bar.
[The interactive task is completed, and the character identity and backtracking information can be unlocked.] 】
[Liu Dacai: Liu Yanque's cousin's nephew, recently contacted Liu Yanque, and got a recipe and a full score in the competition. 】
Ji Lianchu knew that Liu Yanque, who was originally a judge, released the water, gave his nephew a full score and even opened a small stove in private.
Ji Lianchu shook his head and chuckled, and the eyes that fell on Liu Dacai had a hint of "I dare to respond, do you dare to lose", and pursed his thin lips, "It's a good and bright, you can do it." How about we change the judges this time? Make one hundred and one fruit and vegetable pastries for the people present to taste, and let the public vote for the pastries that suit their taste. How do you dare to come? ”
This trick was very useful to Liu Dacai, and he immediately tied his waist scarf and looked ready to fight.
Because of the appearance of two winners at the same time, coupled with the intervention of the Idle King, the public's attention is high, so the game has been extended and there is a play-off.
"In the name of three, three dishes, three seasonings, three quarters of an hour!" Fu Jiaqi slowly said three requirements.
Liu Dacai took the lead in coming up with his best place. The main ingredients are green peppers, eggplant, and potatoes. But these ingredients have to be fried, and then fried, these fried vegetables will be like a sponge to absorb a lot of oil, although this dish is a vegetarian dish, but its oil content is not less than the oil content of the meat, so this dish is quite high in calories.
Ji Lianchu looked around, she didn't immediately start preparing to make it, it seemed to be thinking about something, and then she picked a fruit and vegetable that the public was not optimistic about - bitter gourd.
The pineapple bitter gourd tricolor fruit is the main ingredient in her choice of dishes. Ji Lianchu first washed the bitter gourd, cut it open, and cut it into strips. Peel and wash the pineapple and cut into cubes. As for the three-color cherry tomatoes, they are washed and cut in half. Put the bitter gourd in boiling water and blanch it slightly, remove it, drain the water, and add salt to marinate. Then put the prepared raw materials into a container, add sugar, stir well, and put on a plate. The reason why this one was chosen was precisely to neutralize the oiliness.
Plating is the most important test of one's research on food.
At this moment, Liu Dacai's brows were tight, and he was seriously focused on the movements in his hands, and he was complacent without the talent. Cooking in a frying pan, the steaming heat was so hot that he couldn't open his eyes, but he couldn't help but feel confident when he smelled the fragrance in the air.
When Ji Lianchu prepared the plate, he specially classified them, and the three kinds of fruits and vegetables were divided into separate categories, which did not affect the taste and did not lose the beauty.
Judge Chef Zhang, Mr. Zhang, picked up a piece of bitter gourd placed on the plate with a fork and put it in his mouth, closed his eyes tightly and forced himself to eat it, isn't it just a small bitter gourd! But the moment he touched his taste buds, a coolness came to his face, and the moment he opened his eyes, he gave an eight-word comment - "Refreshing, delicious." ”
Mr. Zhang, who has always been cold-spoken, has become more talkative now, and gives eight-character comments. The public's curiosity was aroused, and they also wanted to taste unknown food.
But Liu Dacai's one hundred and one pieces of Di San Xian are also eye-catching, and many people go to line up to taste one of the signs of Zuitianlou for free. Disanxian is a traditional local dish, and the bitter gourd in the three dishes made by Ji Lianchu is daunting.
Seeing this, Liu Dacai's hanging heart finally fell, and he looked at Ji Lianchu opposite with an indifferent face provocatively, "Ji girl, you can admit defeat!" ”
Ji Lianchu smiled, "It's not the end yet, is Shopkeeper Liu so impatient?" ”
Liu Dacai snorted and turned his face away. Continue to promote your dishes to the general public. The signboard of the drunken restaurant is really easy to use, and there will be a long queue after a while.
Finally, enter the voting session, after tasting, put the plate on the side that you are satisfied with, and finally calculate who has the most plates to win.
Helianxu, who was watching on the stage, couldn't help pinching a cold sweat for Ji Lianchu, he looked at Ji Lianchu, the good guy couldn't see the nervousness at all, sitting in the corner and eating the bitter gourd he made, Helianxu was a little surprised, didn't he feel bitter? On the contrary, it is rare to eat freely and happily.
Seeing her like this, the nervousness disappeared inexplicably.
In the end, the result of the vote made everyone stunned, it was so stale, there was not much difference between before and after, could it be that this time there was a draw? But one hundred and one, there are always more and less. Fang Cai's proposal Ji Lianchu took this into account.
But what Ji Lianchu never expected was that Liu Yanque actually voted for himself for that crucial vote, which is really strange!
Liu Dacai froze in place for an instant, and his smile gradually disappeared.
He looked at Liu Yanque angrily, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Liu Yanque glanced at him and said to himself: "The way of health preservation is to focus on health. The way of gastronomy is all about participation. In fact, the real meaning of this competition is to promote food culture. The three freshness of the drunken sky building is very authentic, but for me personally, I prefer the three-color fruit of the Ji family, which gives people a refreshing feeling. The selection of bitter gourd and pineapple just neutralizes the two tastes, and the food industry needs to innovate ......"
Ji Lianchu nodded when he heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, for no other reason, he thought of the next development plan of the restaurant.
Using modern innovative ideas and integrating with ancient cultures, she has built a new type of restaurant that is the same as described in her script, and put future plans into action. And the results are crucial for her. On the one hand, it avoids the ending of Jijia Restaurant being sold, and on the other hand, it harvests a partner who will master the wealth code in the future.
……
Holding the reward of the winner, Ji Lianchu was satisfied and was about to go back with Xiao Tao, when he was suddenly stopped by Huo Dao, the guard next to Helian Xu.
"Shopkeeper Ji, please stay, our Highness has something to invite you to discuss."
Ji Lianchu nodded, the long-awaited thing has finally come!
The idle king wants to discuss cooperation with her!
"Xiao Tao, you wait for me outside, come when you go." So he ordered Xiao Tao to wait outside, but Xiao Tao seemed reluctant.
"Miss, you can take me with you!"
Ji Lianchu frowned, this little girl is really getting bigger and more unruly, "No, you just wait for me at the door!" “
Xiao Tao pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Miss......"
Ji Lianchu's face sank and he said unhappily.
Xiao Tao immediately closed his mouth, stood aside with his head down, twisted his skirt with both hands, and looked like he wanted to say something.
Ji Lianchu couldn't help but smile and touched the little girl's head, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon!" ”
After speaking, he hurriedly followed Huo Dao in.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the leisurely Xianwang lying on his face with a book covered, as if he was asleep, and he didn't look like he was waiting for someone.
Ji Lianchu looked at Huo Dao suspiciously.
