Chapter 164: Spirit Kitchen Competition
Ye Xiaomei is a lively and lovely little girl, although the previous family changes hit her very hard, but the elf eccentricity in her bones has not disappeared, but although she is like this in her usual days, once she comes into contact with cooking, she expresses extraordinary concentration, even when choosing ingredients, as far as it is now, she has completely immersed herself in her own world, and she didn't even hear the host's voice announcing that she had joined the competition......
Looking at Ye Xiaomei, who was focusing on selecting ingredients on the stage, Chang Xuan smiled with satisfaction, feeling that the barbecue skill he brought from the earth was a successor, and with the improvement of Ye Xiaomei's cooking skills, he would also be very happy.
"Girl, please come to Kitchen No. 8 and participate in the competition. Seeing that Ye Xiaomei had finished selecting the ingredients, the host hurriedly pointed to a kitchen table at the edge of the ring and said.
In this ring, there are a total of nine silver kitchen counters, all of which are built by the owner of the Five Desires Building, and a special spiritual fire automatic mechanism is added, as long as a spirit stone is placed, it is enough to burn for a few days and nights.
At this time, the seven kitchen counters starting from the right were all occupied by the spirit chef who came to participate in the competition first, and only the two at the very edge were still empty, not that the host deliberately embarrassed Ye Xiaomei.
Hearing the host's words, Ye Xiaomei came to the No. 8 kitchen counter with a cleaned clean fat sheep without saying a word, and after asking a few keys to controlling the kitchen counter, she concentrated on concocting the fat sheep on the kitchen counter.
This sheep, although it is no different from the shape of ordinary sheep, but it is just a genuine eighth-order spirit beast, since it was raised by the Five Desires Building with special spirit grass leaves, and the meat has a trace of aura, it is the top ingredient for barbecue, if you want to buy it outside, a spirit sheep will cost hundreds of spirit stones, so that its price is so high, only monks above Jindan can consume it.
Looking at the spirit sheep that was being concocted by Ye Xiaomei, Chang Xuan subconsciously licked his lips, as if he had already smelled the smell of meat.
However, he knew Ye Xiaomei's way of barbecue, and everyone present didn't know, especially the four judges sitting on the stage, at first they were a little curious about this little girl who could take out a thousand medium-grade spirit stones at will, but after seeing her making barbecue, they shook their heads and lost interest in watching again.
Barbecue is the most primitive cooking method in most worlds, and the Infinite World is no exception, starting from the Terran race, barbecue This cooking method has been with the Terran to this day, everyone eats until they want to vomit, and for a period of time, barbecue was despised as a low-grade ingredient.
However, this is not because the barbecue is really not delicious, but because the barbecue methods in this world are too backward, not to mention the heat, even the ingredients, only salt is available, and it is more difficult to eat than the simplest boiled meat, so the people of this world hate the barbecue, although the four judges on the stage are famous gourmets in Daoyuan City, but they can't escape the nature of disgust with vulgar barbecue.
Even more than them, everyone in the audience who had a slight expectation of Ye Xiaomei also lost interest after seeing that she was making barbecue, feeling that although the barbecue was a bit delicious, it could not be compared with the meals concocted by a few spiritual chefs on the stage, after all, in their opinion, barbecue is really nothing delicious.
Of course, this is also the reason why they don't know the power of Chang Xuan's seasoning pack.
Looking at the expressions of these people, needless to say, Chang Xuan also knew what they were thinking, but Chang Xuan was very confident, not only for his own seasoning packets, but also for Ye Xiaomei.
When Ye Xiaomei was making the barbecue, the first few spirit chefs on the stage were also making their own meals, but in order to win the championship prize gold set this time, they each came with their own housekeeping skills, but the more delicious the dish, the more complicated it was to make, at least a dozen procedures had to be passed, and the time and heat had to be mastered extremely accurately, so since Chang Xuan and Ye Xiaomei arrived, the dishes in their hands have not been completed, as of now, only two or three spirit chefs have made a simple model, but before the real completion, other ingredients are needed to piece together。
Watching these people cook, Chang Xuan felt flashy, in his opinion, such dishes can only be used to participate in competitions or special occasions that require the need to show their cooking skills, and now if they are really for guests, by the time they finish cooking, the guests will already starve to death.
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, the time for a stick of incense passed, and the aroma of the food emanating from the stage gradually became stronger, attracting everyone in the audience to move their index fingers at the same time, but also to talk about it in twos and threes.
"You say, who will win this cooking tournament this time?"
"I feel that No. 3's hope is relatively great, you look at his cooking methods, every move is perfect, and he can't use it at all without decades of tempering. ”
"It's hard to say, in my opinion, No. 1 has a lot of hope, don't look at his ugly appearance, I saw him in other cities at the beginning, he is a very famous master. ”
"Do you think that new girl will be the dark horse of this competition?"
"Tsk, what do you think, can a barbecue compete with the dishes made by other people's chefs? Don't joke......"
“......”
Chang Xuan's soul is very strong because of the relationship between the belief in the golden body of Zhihai, although he didn't listen to these voices deliberately, they can't escape the scope of his perception, and he also smiled disdainfully when he heard these people show disdain for barbecue.
"Hmph, a group of frogs at the bottom of the well who don't even know what barbecue is, after my Chang's barbecue comes out, it will definitely open your eyes!"
Eyes returned to the kitchen counter where Ye Xiaomei was, where the spirit sheep that had been set on the spiritual fire had been roasted and oiled, but at this time, Ye Xiaomei had not used the drop bag he gave, so the smell was not fragrant.
But counting the time, this is better than the usual spiritual fire, this whole sheep has been almost grilled, it is time to use the seasoning packet.
As if she had a heart, when this idea just popped up in Chang Xuan's heart, Ye Xiaomei seized the opportunity, opened the seasoning package he gave without saying a word, and sprinkled it evenly on the whole sheep.
Suddenly, with a puff of green smoke wafting up, the rich smell of barbecue emanated.
Hiss......
Chang Xuan took a deep breath and was very addicted to the delicacy of this barbecue.
At the same time, at the moment when the smell of meat drifted away, everyone on and off the stage twitched their noses, and then their eyes fell on the whole sheep that was roasted to golden brown on Ye Xiaomei's kitchen counter, all of them were incredible.
"This, this is the taste of barbecue?" On the stage, the four judges were full of shocked expressions, they are different from others, each of them is a famous gourmand in Daoyuan City, in the attainment of "eating", it is far from being comparable to ordinary people, this aroma, others smell it is just sincerely attracted, they can indeed distinguish the deliciousness and specialness.
Of course, the use of their abilities this time was actually not comprehensive, because of the complexity and particularity of Chang Xuan's seasoning packets, they could only distinguish the deliciousness of the roasted whole sheep as they could not distinguish the other party's production methods.
However, Chang Xuan's way of barbecue lies in seasoning rather than means, so there are no means for them to analyze.
is also a chef, at the moment when Ye Xiaomei roasted the whole sheep and gave off the fragrance, all the spirit chefs on the stage also turned their heads to look, but they only glanced at it and then focused on their own dishes.
This is because Ye Xiaomei's barbecue shocked them too much, and the other party's roasted whole sheep is almost ready, if they don't work harder, this game will end before their dishes come out.
"This, is this still the roasted whole sheep in my impression?" In the ring, the fat host standing in the corner saw this scene, his eyes were full of disbelief, he never expected that a little girl who seemed to play with tickets turned out to be a hidden chef saint, and they were still shocked with the dishes they despised the most.
WhewW......
As the fragrance from the stage became stronger and stronger, the greedy breath of everyone in the audience became heavy, but most of them focused their eyes on the roasted whole sheep on Ye Xiaomei's kitchen counter, and only a few people's eyes fell on the high-end dishes concocted by those spirit chefs.
This competition, for all the spirit chefs on the stage, is an opportunity to make a name for themselves and compete for a full set of golden knives, but for everyone in the audience, it is also an opportunity to eat a free lunch.
The reason why the Kitchen Conference of Wuyulou can gather so many people this time is because of a slogan that is promoted first, that is, everyone present is qualified to taste the dishes on the stage, and has the right to vote for one person, one vote.
Soon, almost a stick of incense passed, and the time stipulated for the cooking competition was over.
As the fat host announced the end of the competition, the dishes made by the eight contestants on the stage, including Ye Xiaomei, were divided into plates by the people of Wuyulou and sent to the judges on the stage and everyone in the audience for them to taste.
This time, because of the announcement of Wuyulou in advance, each contestant made enough dishes, even the roasted whole sheep made by Ye Xiaomei was the same, although it was not enough for everyone to feast, but it was enough to wet the rain and dew.
When everyone in the audience tasted the food, the eight contestants on the stage, including Ye Xiaomei, stood in a row in front of everyone in the audience, all with a little nervousness on their faces.
In the process of tasting the food, several judges on the stage are very professional and elegant, but there are mixed fish and dragons in the audience, not only in terms of eating images are not as elegant as the judges on stage, but also in tasting, they only know whether it is delicious or not.
However, this is the simplest evaluation, which is what the Five Desires Building really needs, after all, most of the people who come to eat here are just trying to eat a good taste, not to study and comment like many gourmets.
"It feels...... This barbecue ...... This tastes ......."
Everyone in the audience tasted the roast lamb tray brought by the waiter, and the aftertaste was endless, and the fragrance almost swallowed their tongues, but unfortunately the barbecue on the tray was too little, only enough for one person.
When everyone was reminiscing and praising Ye Xiaomei's barbecue, Chang Xuan also tasted the delicacies made by several other spirit chefs from the tray handed by the waiter, but how to say it, although these dishes felt good when they were eaten, they gave him more of an ethereal flashiness, just like a high-end dish floating in the clouds, which was only suitable for a shallow taste, not suitable for feasting.
In fact, this feeling is not only Chang Xuan alone, but everyone in the audience also has this feeling, so they are even more fond of the barbecue meat that is full of color and fragrance of the little sister, even if the other dishes are very high, but they are not gourmets who can't eat it at all, and it is completely through the instinctive choice of whether it is delicious or not.
But for them, it's different for the four judges on the stage, they are different from the people in the audience who are like cows chewing peonies, but famous gourmets in the entire Daoyuan City, and they know the beauty of the dishes made by those spirit chefs, and although the barbecue made by Ye Xiaomei also makes them feel delicious, it is only because of the special nature of Chang Xuan's seasoning package that they can't distinguish the mystery of Ye Xiaomei's barbecue at all, so they glanced at each other and unanimously decided to vote for the spirit kitchen cuisine they knew。
At this time, the host next to him saw that the heat was almost off, so he stood up and announced: "Okay, everyone present has tasted all the dishes of our cooking conference, so then, it's time for everyone to vote......
As he spoke, he introduced the voting rules in detail, and then arranged for a group of waiters to hand paper and pen to the judges and everyone in the audience, and asked them to write down the numbers supporting the contestants.
This time, Chang Xuan also wrote it, and it was a matter of course to vote for No. 8 Ye Xiaomei, after all, for him, first he has great confidence in his barbecue inheritance, and then he is the ultimate beneficiary of Ye Xiaomei's golden knife set.
Soon, everyone's votes were collected quickly, and the host began to arrange for people to count the votes by arranging for the four important votes of the four judges on the stage.
When the waiters were busy counting the votes, the stage was lined up, and the eight contestants, including Ye Xiaomei, were very nervous, but Ye Xiaomei's state was still quite special, with a touch of confidence in the nervousness, standing there like a combination of contradictions.
"You say, the little girl's barbecue is so delicious, will she be the first this time?"
"Of course! my vote is for her!"
"Me too!"
"I ...... too"
“......”
When the votes were counted on the stage, everyone in the audience was discussing with each other in twos and threes about the champion of the competition here, but the words revealed their respect for Ye Xiaomei's barbecue.
After about a cup of tea, the results of the votes were sent to the host.
