Feng Yifan looked at the dishes made by Zhang Fenglin and Qi Deqiang very seriously.

Zhang Fenglin made good use of all parts of the whole eel, boiled the eel bones and eel blood into the soup base, and then added the umbilical cord and japonica rice to the soup base to cook the eel porridge.

As for the part of the eel's back, it was made into a potsticker eel's back by Zhang Fenglin, which was paired with eel porridge.

This kind of cooking makes the most of everything, although the dishes are not very unique, but this combination is relatively new.

Feng Yifan tasted a bite of porridge and ate a small piece of potsticker eel back.

On the whole, there is nothing wrong with the texture and taste, and in Feng Yifan's opinion, Zhang Fenglin's dish can be regarded as a breakthrough of his own.

and then to Qi Deqiang's Mingyue stew, the appearance of the dishes is naturally stronger than Zhang Fenglin's.

In terms of appearance alone, the stewed eel segment in the small cup, with a piece of pork belly, and a small rape, and finally a fried quail egg, is really rich in a little bit of poetry.

Just looking at it, the children, including Feng Ruoruo, felt that it was very beautiful.

Then Zhang Fenglin's son couldn't help muttering on the side: "My dad is going to lose, people are so beautiful about this, but my father's is obviously not as beautiful." ”

Feng Yifan heard the voice and glanced back at the young man and said, "Don't jump to conclusions, you should support your father, even if he may lose, but you can't deny your father's efforts because of winning or losing this time, your father's food is no worse than anything, understand?"

Zhang Fenglin's son looked at Feng Yifan, hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Well, Uncle Feng, I understand." ”

The judges were still savoring and discussing how to judge the two people's dishes.

I even let the live video recording, arrange for the recording of the cooking process, and release it again for everyone to see.

The reason why the two finalists were allowed to complete the entire cooking process alone was to conduct a comprehensive investigation.

From the cook's knife work, fire work, and the color, flavor, and shape of the final dish, a more comprehensive comparison can be made more fairly.

After a series of comparative studies, the judges scored one by one from several aspects.

When all the scores are played, they will be handed over to the organizer, that is, Su Liancheng, to compare and calculate the final score.

Su Liancheng suddenly came to Feng Yifan's side and quietly pulled Feng Yifan aside.

"Brother-in-law, who do you think is better in this competition?"

Feng Yifan looked at Su Liancheng and asked a little strangely: "Why do you want to ask me? Aren't there judges at the scene? And the three state banquet masters are present, aren't their judges more professional and authoritative than me?"

Su Liancheng hesitated for a moment and said, "But the opinions of the three state banquet masters are not unanimous, so I came over to ask your opinion." ”

Feng Yifan looked at Su Liancheng, his brows furrowed slightly, and he vaguely guessed the other party's thoughts.

"I'm afraid it's not that the three state banquet masters disagree, it's that you're worried that it won't be Zhang Fenglin who wins in the end?

Su Liancheng didn't hide it: "Yes, I know that Zhang Fenglin and you still have a relationship with Su Ji, if you really need him to win, I can go and say it now, otherwise the result will be sealed in the envelope for a while, and I may not be able to change the final result." ”

Feng Yifan said very calmly: "Actually, there is no need to do that, I think that senior brother of mine should be able to accept any kind of result." ”

Su Liancheng looked at Feng Yifan and said, "Brother-in-law, you really don't want to help him?"

Feng Yifan shook his head: "No, I believe in my senior brother, he can use his strength to win in the end." ”

Su Liancheng didn't say anything more, nodded and turned back.

After Su Liancheng left, Feng Yifan turned around and saw Zhang Fenglin's son standing behind him.

Facing the young man's gaze, Feng Yifan said very seriously: "You heard it all? Do you think that I didn't speak for your father, and I was a little unkind?"

The young man also nodded very seriously: "Yes, I originally thought that Uncle Feng would help my dad speak." ”

Without waiting for Feng Yifan to speak, the young man continued: "But in fact, I know that if my father knew that it was you who helped him speak and made him a champion, he would definitely not be able to accept it." ”

The young man's words surprised Feng Yifan a little.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of him, although he is still a child in age, he seems to know a lot.

And the boy seems to know his father very well, and understands that his father is a strong character.

Feng Yifan nodded and said: "In fact, sometimes, the process of participation is more important than the final result, this time your father and your grandfather reconciled, and your family has become harmonious and united through this competition, and these gains should be more important than the championship." ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and said as if he didn't understand: "Uncle, I don't really understand what you said, I only know one thing, my dad wants his cooking skills to be recognized, not to win by cheating." ”

Feng Yifan stepped forward and patted the young man on the shoulder: "Well, we should believe your father, let's go back." ”

When Dad and Big Brother came back, Feng Ruoruo and a few other little girls rushed to Dad Feng.

"Dad, do you think Uncle Zhang can win?"

Hearing his daughter ask this question again, Feng Yifan smiled and touched his daughter's little head: "Let's take a look together, there should be results later." ”

Not long after Feng Yifan and the others sat down, Su Liancheng and the host appeared on the stage together.

Su Liancheng first thanked everyone who supported this competition.

Then he said with a serious face: "The final result, we discussed with the judges for a long time, because the two chefs have shown their respective strength, whether it is the color, flavor and shape, the two of them really exerted their strength and made the eel very delicious." ”

Su Liancheng paused here for a moment, looked at Zhang Fenglin and Qi Deqiang, and finally said: "But after discussion, the judges unanimously felt that Zhang Fenglin was better in terms of innovation in dishes, so the final winner of this Fujinglou Chinese Cuisine Huaicheng Cooking Competition was Chef Zhang Fenglin." ”

After the result was announced, there was a burst of applause at the scene, and Zhang Fenglin was still a little stunned.

Zhuang Daozhong picked up the microphone in front of him, and then said a few words.

"In terms of the quality of the final finished dishes, the two chefs are indeed comparable, and they have indeed achieved the effect that Feng Yifan has done before you, and the two of you have done a very good job in terms of color, aroma, and shape.

But in terms of innovation, as well as the use of ingredients, Zhang Fenglin is indeed better.

He took all the parts of an eel and made a very perfect combination, so for that point, I don't think there should be any dispute about Zhang Fenglin's victory. ”

Zhuang Daozhong's final decision also made everyone more convinced.

Qi Deqiang thought about it and felt that Old Man Zhuang was indeed right.

Zhuang Daozhong paused for a moment and said: "However, although Chef Qi Deqiang did not win the championship, his Mingyue stew is indeed very authentic, and the color, flavor and shape are all very good, so please don't be discouraged, you will still have a chance in the provincial selection in the future." ”

After listening to Zhuang Daozhong's words, Qi Deqiang also received an encouragement and faced this defeat more calmly.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhuang, and thank you for the opportunity given by the organizers this time, especially Chef Feng Yifan, without the two dishes you made in the restaurant, there might not be enough inspiration for me, so that I can calm down and study my cooking skills.

For the first time in so many days of competition, I put all my energy into cooking, and I felt that I had made a new breakthrough in my cooking skills.

Although I didn't win the championship, I have no regrets, and Chef Zhang really deserves it, which I admire. ”

After Su Liancheng finished speaking, he looked at Feng Yifan, and asked Feng Yifan if he wanted to speak?

Feng Yifan also stood up and said to Qi Deqiang: "You don't have to be discouraged, if you want, I can let you and my senior brother Zhang Fenglin stay in Fujinglou together, I think the two of you cooperate in Fujinglou together, which should be able to promote the better development of Fujinglou." ”

Qi Deqiang was a little surprised, and after being stunned for a while, he said, "Thank you, Chef Feng." ”

Su Liancheng and Mei Ru looked at each other, and the two of them were also a little surprised.

But if you think about it seriously, Feng Yifan's arrangement is also very reasonable. After all, now that the publicity has passed, Zhang Fenglin and Qi Deqiang have already become famous. Therefore, if both of them stay in Fujinglou, the business of Fujinglou will definitely become prosperous in the future.

Those diners are just for the reputation of the champion and runner-up, and they will also take turns to taste Fujing Building.

Su Liancheng and Mei Ru felt that Feng Yifan's arrangement was really good, which was enough to show that he was really helping them find a way.

Qi Deqiang's matter is over, and the next thing is the champion Zhang Fenglin on stage.

Zhang Fenglin walked to the middle of the stage and bowed deeply in front of everyone.

Then he straightened up and said, "Thank you to the judges for recognizing me, and thank you all for giving me this opportunity to return to Fu Jing Lou, especially Chef Fung."

Although he called me senior brother, in fact, my cooking skills were far inferior to him, and I didn't really study in Su Kee for a long time, and even I was very rebellious and unwilling to learn cooking in Su Kee.

It can be said that I am a disciple who betrayed my master.

But I want to thank my master and my junior disciples, who made me find myself again, made me realize the mistakes I made, and understood what I should persevere and work towards. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Fenglin pointed to the championship trophy placed below.

"I won't take this trophy for the time being, I will keep it here because I don't think I deserve it now, I want to use it to motivate myself, work harder, climb to a higher level of culinary skills, and one day be able to match this trophy." ”

Zhang Fenglin's words made the scene burst into applause.

Most people admire Zhang Fenglin very much, admire him for daring to face his own shortcomings, and admire him for daring to say that he is not worthy of the trophy.

Feng Yifan also applauded while looking at this senior brother and laughing.

Feng Ruoruo clapped her little hands twice, turned around and hugged her father's neck and asked, "Dad, why doesn't Uncle Zhang want the trophy? ”

Feng Yifan leaned into his daughter's ear and said: "Because Uncle Zhang feels that he doesn't have enough strength, Uncle Zhang wants to continue to improve his strength, and he will not take this trophy away until Uncle Zhang becomes more powerful, which is also to motivate Uncle Zhang to work harder." ”

Feng Ruoruo then said: "Ah, is that the trophy going to that person?"

Hearing his daughter's words, Feng Yifan continued with a smile: "No, the trophy will be placed here for the time being, and when Uncle Zhang is more powerful, he can take it back." ”

Maybe even Su Liancheng and Mei Ru didn't expect that at the end of such a cooking competition, the theme would be sublimated.

Not only Feng Yifan came to the platform, but the "Chicken Marrow Bamboo Shoots" in the Dream of Red Mansions raised the atmosphere of the competition.

is even more because in the end, the two words of Zhang Fenglin and Qi Deqiang sublimated the theme of the entire competition.

The pursuit of cooking skills should be endless, and it should not be stagnant because of a victory in a cooking competition, let alone complacent.

So after this final, it was promoted on the Internet and TV stations.

Fujinglou once again entered the public eye and became a symbol of Huaicheng.

Maybe Su Liancheng and Mei Ru didn't expect that such a final would bring them such a big opportunity.

After the game, Zhuang Daozhong and the two state banquet masters came to Feng Yifan's side.

The three state banquet masters were present, and Feng Yifan was naturally neither humble nor arrogant, and he was quite comfortable coping with it.

And the three masters agreed that Feng Yifan should add chicken pith bamboo shoots to the menu of Fujinglou.

Zhuang Daozhong said very bluntly: "After all, Fujinglou is very distinctive in Huaicheng, and it is also a very iconic restaurant, if you add a few dishes you give, you can better raise the location of Fujinglou, which is still of great significance to the promotion of Huaicheng catering in the future." ”

A state banquet master smiled and said, "Of course, you have to ask them for royalties." ”

Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said: "Hahaha, no need, I heard that they have the majority of the current shares of this Fujing Building." ”

Another state banquet master heard this and said: "That's no problem, you need it in your own restaurant, you can use it directly." ”

Feng Yifan saw Su Liancheng and Mei Ru, who kept looking over here, and beckoned the two of them over.

In front of Su Liancheng and Mei Ru, he also agreed to the advice given by the three state banquet masters: "The three masters said, let me add "Chicken Marrow Shoots" and some dishes of the Red Mansion to the menu of Fujinglou, both of you happen to be there, if you agree, I will add it." ”

Su Liancheng and Mei Ru were stunned for a moment, and Mei Ru quickly said, "Agreed, we have no opinion." ”

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll discuss it with the new two chefs later." ”

Su Liancheng suddenly laughed happily: "Hahaha, thank you brother-in-law for your help, so that Fujinglou finally has its own characteristics, and Fujinglou will definitely do better." ”
