Chapter 147: Ingredients, Snakes

After returning to the inn, in order to thank Hachi and the others, Fantuan specially made a large table of delicacies, and hid in the room alone, saying that he was going to prepare for tomorrow's game. Everyone also understands that the ups and downs of the past few days have been too turbulent for Fantuan, a young girl who is still underage, and no one has stopped her.

Early in the morning of the second day, everyone came to the venue of the kitchen god competition again, and just one venue, I saw a decorative wall about 20 meters long at the door, with portraits of contestants painted on the wall, and a brief introduction to them below, and in the center, it was a rice ball. Further inside, there is a large shop pù, which sells a series of products such as the first day of qualifiers, images of the contestants cooking, various clothes printed with contestants' patterns, and cooking utensils. Because it's a chef competition, I'm afraid of interfering with the players' performance, so the other props for cheering are not sold, but it's the current products, especially when Xiaoba saw that most of them were printed with rice ball portraits, his bowels were blue, and he secretly hated himself for not thinking that he spent so much money on the first day to build momentum, and sold some accessories on the second day to recover some costs?

This time I came to the competition venue, but it was different from the first time, as a contestant, the rice ball was also the focus of many attention, as soon as I arrived at the door of the venue, I was invited in by the person in charge of welcoming the guests, and Hachi and others also got a good position to watch the game with the light of the rice ball.

At this time, in the venue, the competition platform set up was different from the 32 in the preliminaries, but reduced to 17, each platform has its own arrangement, although the number of platforms has decreased, but the area of each platform has indeed increased a lot, enough to accommodate four or five people standing on it. If there is no sudden killing of the rice balls, it should be a four-by-four-square sixteen tables, at this time the seventeen tables, the extra one is located in the front of the many platforms No. 17 platform, this is also the place where the organizers specially prepared for the rice balls, who makes the rice balls the highest voice? The organizers, of course, can not let go of this opportunity, although they seem to be free to build momentum for the rice balls, but they will eventually get more benefits.

There were many more spectators coming to watch the game today than on the first day, and they all came early. These spectators were divided into small groups, and they held banners aloft and wore their favorite clothes to cheer them on. Of course, due to the strong entry of the rice ball on the first day, most of the people held a small flag with a pair of beautiful pink eyes on top of the small flag.

Zhang Peng hung a natural smile, so that everyone who saw him felt like a spring breeze pavement, very comfortable, this middle-aged man, although he is not very handsome, but anyone who sees him will unconsciously have a good impression of him, which is probably the meaning of the organizers to invite him.

Zhang Peng stood on the high platform of the host, bowed to the surroundings separately, and then said: "Thank you for your support for the Chef God Competition, I am the host today." As soon as the words fell, he pointed to a child held by a pregnant woman in the audience and said, "That big brother over there, give the little brother a face, don't eat your fingers first, okay?"

A simple opening hand, Zhang Peng said: "Okay, presumably everyone has been waiting impatiently for a long time, and wants to know what the ingredients for today's game are, so I won't delay you too much, below, I will invite the chief manager of the imperial dining room in the palace, Mr. Huang, to reveal the answer!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a scar on his eye sitting at the head of the judges' bench stood up. His face looked very resolute, and at the same time, a scar passed from his forehead to his cheek, almost piercing his eyeball, and it was terrifying to look at. If you don't say it, more people will speculate that he may be a nervous general, but they can't imagine that he is actually a chef or a chef in the imperial dining room.

Mr. Huang nodded at Zhang Peng and walked to a black cloth booth that had been prepared long ago next to the judges' bench. Reaching out and grabbing the black cloth with a kick, it slammed it open, and couldn't help but attract a cry of exclamation from children and women in the audience watching the game. Under the black cloth is a glass jar with a length of two meters, a width of one meter, and a height of half a meter.

The cobra is a large snake that is relatively common in warm regions, and it is not poisonous in itself, so it is a snake commonly used as food. But despite this, for many northern chefs, there are much fewer snakes, so when they saw that the ingredients were golden snakes, they also frowned, while those southern chefs were sure and showed a faint smile, as for what these smiles contained, it is unknown.

After revealing the ingredients, it is time to choose the ingredients, after all, it is impossible for every snake to be exactly the same size, there will always be good and bad, and the selection of ingredients is also a test of the chef's cognition of ingredients. Because the position of the rice ball was at the front, she had a lot of advantages, and she came to the glass jar before everyone else.

After the first fan ball came, it immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of many audiences in the audience, of course, these audience were not dissatisfied with the rice ball, but with the organizer. Because the cylinder block is half a meter high, and the frame that supports the cylinder block is almost one meter high. For a rice ball that is less than 1.5 meters tall, she can't put her hand in it at all. Because most of the participants are adults, the organizers inadvertently ignored the problem of the rice balls, and at this time, watching the rice balls stretch their hands in on their toes but are still some distance away from the snake, which really attracted the dissatisfaction of many people.

Just as the organizers were about to call someone to help the rice ball get the ingredients, a golden snake covered with yellow patterns suddenly bounced, opened its mouth and went straight to the hand of the rice ball to bite. Not only did the audience exclaim for a while, but even the host Zhang Peng was sweating and couldn't help but exclaim: "Be careful." "This is because of the height problem, so that the most popular rice ball was injured, which affected the subsequent games, so the publicity work done before was in vain. Mr. Huang, who was standing beside the rice ball, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the rice ball approvingly.

At this time, the snake had already ejected, and when it saw that it was about to bite the finger of the rice ball, the rice ball suddenly shook its wrist, dodged it slightly, and grabbed it with a backhand, not only avoiding the snake's bite to its mouth, but also grabbing its three-inch position. After reaching out of the snake, the rice ball smiled and said with a large number of snakes in his hand and said, You are so destined for me, then I will choose you, and he said that he pinched the snake and returned to his platform. Of course, this is not because of fate, the rice ball seems to be reaching for snakes, but it is actually seducing these snakes to attack themselves, so as to choose the one with the best mental state, because snakes are easily contaminated with some parasites, so snakes with good spirits are generally not likely to have any problems, which is also the reason why Mr. Huang gave him a praising look before.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, this is a very thrilling scene, everyone's hearts instantly rose to their throats, and the first to react was Zhang Peng, who was the host, and he immediately attributed this qiē to the rice ball with its excellent reaction and extraordinary skills, which made the danger a disaster, not only was not bitten, but also successfully obtained the ingredients, and once again pushed the call of the rice ball to a new height.

Of course, there are some chefs who understand what is going on, but those who can come to the competition and pass the preliminaries are pretentious, so no one cares how the organizers hold the rice balls, for them, only taste is the only way to conquer them.

At this time, the rice ball had already begun to deal with the snake, she first took out a small knife that looked like jade and porcelain, disemboweled the snake, removed the snake's skin, and at the same time cut the peeled snake meat into eight centimeter pieces. Seeing her neat movements and the knives used, the judges on the stage nodded their heads one after another. Many chefs think that snakes can't be treated with iron, it's just superstition, and there is no difference between the two, but only those senior chefs know that snakes cooked with iron will lose a lot of the original taste of snake meat.

At this time, the snake meat has been cut into the rice ball, and the rice ball puts the cut snake meat into a small bowl, and at the same time, many seasonings such as lemon, licorice, tomato, star anise, and monk fruit are added, put into a relatively large casserole, and steam it through water. The movements are fast, but they are very steady, which is enough to see that the rice ball has a deep foundation.

At this time, other chefs also began to process their own snake meat. Some cut into strips and put in rice, red dates, etc. to make porridge. Some are cut into sections and made into a pot with chicken broth and ham. There are also snake soups, snake soups, fried and fried, everything, and everyone tries to avoid doing heavy things with other people. This can effectively avoid the problem that the same dish is easy to be divided, for example, two people make snake soup, if one makes a little stronger than the other, then he may easily appear, and the one that is relatively poor, even if his dish is better than other porridge cookpots, in the hearts of the judges, it has also been deducted from the disqualification of the hat, this is the heart of the person, so everyone tries to make something different from others, only those who have absolute confidence, will choose the same method as others。

In this way, the game gradually came to an end in the busyness of everyone...
