Several other chefs on stage were also busy.
Rong Daquan is fat, and people are particularly afraid of heat. At this time, fine beads of sweat ooze out from his forehead and the tip of his nose. He doesn’t bother to wipe it, and he carefully peels the pigeon eggs in his hands. He regarded pigeon eggs as pearls, but the taste of pure pigeon eggs was too bland, so he boiled and peeled the pigeon eggs, removed the yolk inside, and stuffed them with thin ham, dried shrimps, mushrooms, scallops, etc. Together, mix the fine powder with the seasoning, then steam it on a tray, and then simmer it with chicken broth to taste. The most important thing in this step is not to destroy the complete shape of the pigeon egg.
Peel the prawns, remove the sand lines, make two cuts on the back of the prawns, and then fry them with 50% hot pork until cooked through.
Chop the tomatoes, boil them with salt, wine, soup and stock to make a sauce, put the fried prawns into the red sauce, stir fry, thicken them, and finally drizzle sesame oil, put them in the center of the plate, and see from a distance , like a pile of red plum petals.
Then put the simmered pigeon eggs in a circle along the outer edge of the plate, the shrimp meat is ruddy, the jade beads are white, and a “Hongmeizhuxiang” with full color and aroma is released.
At this time, Han Xiangfei’s work was also finished. I saw the emerald green rapeseed with its heart root facing inward and formed into a circle in the disc. The golden camel’s palm pieces were neatly stacked on it. The boat treads the green”.
The dish that You Zhenniang drew was “pregnant mandarin fish”. When Rong Daquan saw the title, the first thing that came to his mind was the very luxurious “old clams with pearls” that Ning Xi had made, but You Zhen Mother’s performance was not as stunning as Ning Xi, but the basic idea was still the same.
She took out the internal organs of the fish from the fish gills, scraped the fish scales, then diced mushrooms, magnolia slices, water chestnuts, sea cucumbers, etc., seasoned them well, stuffed them into the fish belly from the fish gills, and steamed them with **** and green onions. Cooked.
The finished dish looks like a complete mandarin fish, but in fact there is something else in the belly.
As for the local tyrant and fat man Chen Dexiang, the dish he wants to do is “hundred birds return to the nest”, but he can’t be called a fat man at all in his current appearance. In just ten days, he has lost all of his body. , so that when he came to power, he was questioned by the judges whether he was an impostor.
Ning Xi looked at him with a funny look, thinking that you have to thank some girls for me. If it wasn’t for my help, how could he have lost weight in such a short period of time? Well, his face was too sallow, with a **** eye socket under his eyes, like a sick ghost who was hollowed out by the color of wine.
The dish “Hundred Birds Returning to the Nest” is very easy to do. He used thin noodles to form a bird’s nest shape, fry it in a frying pan until golden brown, then wash and peel the quails, cook them in a pot of clean water, and place them on the in the bird’s nest.
Seeing this, Ning Xi shook his head slightly. Although the general approach to this dish was correct, he did it too crudely, ignoring many details, and the taste was definitely not much better, but look at him. In my current state of mind, it is estimated that I really don’t have the energy to do better.
Deserved, who told him to want to be opportunistic?
At this time, all four dishes have been placed on the stage, just waiting for the judges to taste and score.
Meng Shuangshuang asked Ningxi, “Ningxi, Ningxi, who do you think has a better chance of winning?”
Ning Xi carefully looked at the four dishes on the table. In terms of appearance, Rong Daquan’s “Red Plum Pearl Fragrance” and Han Xiangfei’s “Sand Boat Tapping Cui” were obviously one grade higher than the other two dishes. , one is a circle of white jade reflecting red plums, the other is a plate of emerald green and golden yellow, and they are all shiny and lustrous, appealing to appetite.
As for the taste, Ning Xi said: “You don’t need to watch the quails when they return to their nests. The quails have not been marinated in advance, and the cooking time is too long. The taste is bland and the meat is old wood. It must not catch the eyes of the judges. The appearance of the pregnant mandarin fish is ordinary, but the ingredients in the abdomen complement the fish, and the taste should be more delicious than the ordinary steamed mandarin fish, which can be ranked third.”
“Can Big Brother Rong win first?” Meng Shuangshuang asked eagerly.
“It’s hard to say.” Ning Xi shook his head slightly, “It stands to reason that Big Brother Rong’s red plum and pearl fragrance should be richer than the simple stir-fried camel’s palm, and the method of stuffing pigeon eggs is more convenient, but Han Xiangfei The craftsmanship cannot be underestimated, who knows what the judges will think?”
Meng Shuangshuang pouted in disappointment and watched nervously as the judges tasted the four dishes on the stage in turn.
In front of the judges, in addition to the four participating dishes, there are also five small dishes of cold dishes. Before tasting each dish, the judges will first drink a sip of white water and rinse their mouths, and then put the five dishes of cold dishes in front of them. Take a slice of each, and eat slowly, and then start to taste the dishes.
Meng Shuangshuang didn’t understand: “What are they doing?”
Ningxi explained to her: “The five dishes of cold dishes are old vinegar peanuts, honey silk jujube, cold bitter gourd, husband and wife lung slices and brine old duck, which correspond to the five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty respectively. , is used to adjust the taste of the judges. The size and taste of each piece of dish are just right. Eating each piece can balance the other five flavors and balance each other. At this time, the best effect can be obtained by tasting the dishes. Otherwise, which dish should go first Eating after eating will affect the judges’ feelings.”
“Oh, that’s the case!” Meng Shuangshuang nodded suddenly, and some audience members around him also nodded, “Girl, you are really amazing. Since you know so much, why don’t you go to the competition?”
At this time, someone recognized Ning Xi: “Hey, isn’t this girl Ning who won the first place in the first two competitions? Why didn’t you take the stage today?”
Ningxi smiled and shook her head, but did not speak. Meng Shuangshuang was afraid that she would be unhappy, so she hurriedly said: “Our family’s Ningxi and the Rong Daquan on the stage both participated in the competition on behalf of Shuangxi Tower in the capital, the judges said. This is not good, we should give the opportunity to more people, so we quit one, anyway, as long as Big Brother Rong alone can achieve good results.”
Her nonsense was recognized by the people around her.
At this time, the scores on the stage also came out. The competition adopts a ten-point system. After each judge’s score, the scores are added up, then divided by ten, and the average number is taken, which is the final score of each participating chef.
Chen Dexiang’s score was announced first, with only five points. When the score was announced, the audience couldn’t help but “shush”. The pots and pans swayed “ping ping pong pong” for a while, and then walked off the stage angrily.
You Zhenniang scored eight points. She is very satisfied with this score. She was not even qualified for the finals. Now she not only participated in the finals, but also won the third place, which is worthy of the villagers. , and she also knew that with her own cooking skills, she couldn’t compare with Rong Daquan and Han Xiangfei.
Han Xiangfei and Rong Daquan were left. The two stood on the stage. Han Xiangfei was still calm, as if it had nothing to do with him no matter what the result was. In contrast, Rong Daquan was much more nervous. Now, he even kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
Meng Shuangshuang also sweated on behalf of Rong Daquan in his hands, and said something in his mouth: “Big Brother Rong wins, Big Brother Rong wins.”
Ning Xi heard a black line.
“Rong Daquan, the final score is ten!”
“Great, Big Brother Rong won!” Meng Shuangshuang almost jumped up with joy.
Rong Daquan’s fat face was flushed red, and the sweat on his forehead was more and more, he only smirked “hehe”, Han Xiangfei looked calm, and clasped his fist at him: “Congratulations.”
“Han Xiangfei, 10 points!”
“Ah? What does this mean?” The audience under the stage looked at each other, both of them were ten points. So who wins and who loses?
Rong Daquan and Han Xiangfei on stage also looked puzzled.
It turns out that the dishes made by the two of them are impeccable in terms of color, aroma and taste. The judges can’t distinguish between them. They can only give them 10 points, each thinking that there is only one of them. It shouldn’t matter if people give the same score. I didn’t expect all the judges to think this way at the same time, and as a result, two identical ten points came out.
But there must always be a result at the end of the competition. The final negotiated approach was to let the audience vote. The organizer responded quickly and quickly removed two large boxes from the inside and placed them on the sides of the two dishes. At the back, a bamboo skewer was distributed to each of the audience, and the audience was asked to come to the stage one by one and put the bamboo skewers into the box behind the dish they liked.
Then a dramatic scene appeared, and the situation was completely one-sided. Almost all the audience threw their bamboo sticks into Han Xiangfei’s box, while Rong Daquan’s box contained only a few bamboo sticks. I remember Meng Shuangshuang jumping straight: “What’s going on with these people, I can tell at a glance that Big Brother Rong’s dishes are more delicious!”
Ningxi reluctantly persuaded her: “There is no way, there is only one plate of food, it is impossible for everyone to eat it, and if you can’t taste the taste, then you can only look at your face. You say, Brother Rong can compare with Han Xiangfei. ?”
Rong Daquan on the stage was still cheerful. He admired Han Xiangfei’s cooking skills from beginning to end, and he didn’t feel any grievance to be under him, and he could come up with the idea of using a camel Rong Daquan would be ashamed to cook the dish of “Sand Boat Tapping Cui”. If it was himself, he would never have imagined it. At this time, no one would cook with camel meat, and he didn’t know him. Where did you get the camel’s palm.
Since the situation is so one-sided, there is no doubt that the winner of the final of this cooking competition is Han Xiangfei. The official of the organizer was about to announce the final result, but Han Xiangfei suddenly stood up: “I’m very sorry, this award, I can’t Take it.”
