    Jiangbian agreed very much with the words of the judging experts, but he was also a little confused. If there were only emotions in the dishes and no color, flavor, and flavor, would he still be eligible for direct promotion?  In addition, how to judge whether it is integrated with emotions and what kind of emotions it is integrated with?

    Jiangbian didn¡¯t look at the expressions of the judges when they tasted the dishes.  Who advances and who doesn't has no impact on Jiangbian, he just likes to watch the excitement.

    There wasn't much excitement in Banshan Village. When I was in Banshan Village, Jiangbian didn't even watch the gala. Because there was no TV at home, and it was impossible to go to other people's homes on New Year's Eve, so every time during the Chinese New Year, I could only  Listen to other people at home counting 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    Such excitement is rare even in Shanmen Town.  There are so many people in this city. If we hold a cooking competition, more people will come than the people who go to the New Year market in Shanmen Town.

    Jiangbian walked hard forward among the crowd.

    When Li Yueji walked out of the venue, she kept looking for that familiar figure in the crowd, but with so many people everywhere, where could she find another person?

    "Why do you look so distracted?" Xiao Yalin asked, "Is that person so important to you? Is it your first love?"

    Li Yueji shook her head. Facing Xiao Yalin's teasing, Li Yueji had no intention of responding. What she cared about most was to find that familiar figure again.

    "Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Xiao Yalin quickly pulled Li Yueji, "This "beggar chicken" is interesting. Let's stop and take a look."

    Qiantang's famous dish is called Huaji, which uses Xiaoshan native chicken. First, wrap the chicken in lotus leaves, then heavily wrap the lotus leaves with wine jar mud, and "decorate" it to look like a big lump of mud, and then put it in  Roast in the fire.

    This wine jar mud is a bit particular. It is a thick layer of seal on the rice wine jar. After taking back the jar mud, you need to add distiller's grains and rice bran in proportion, and finally use it to wrap the chicken.

    Since the quantity of wine jar mud from the rice wine factory is limited and cannot be reused, many restaurants simply omit this step, and some large hotels in Qiantang can only supply limited quantities every day.

    This person made beggar¡¯s chicken using a very traditional method. In order to make the cooking process more exciting, he specially added a seasoning preparation process. It seemed that he was performing extremely hard, but in fact the highlight was in the fire.

    Because it is wrapped in a thick layer of soil, the roasting time is not short.  And in order to make diners truly aware of the difference of traditional ancient cooking.

    This contestant also specially designed a link.  Let the beggar's chicken wrapped in mud and roasted be served directly to the table like a dinosaur egg, "dang dang dang" three times.

    Use a small hammer to smash the clay eggs open in front of the guests. A scent of chicken, lotus leaves and earth suddenly spreads from the gaps in the clay eggs.

    Then sprinkle the condiments on the chicken, relying on the residual heat from the chicken to blend the aroma of the condiments into the chicken.

    "Is this a beggar chicken?" Li Yueji asked.

    Xiao Yalin nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, it is the beggar's chicken. The beggar's chicken mentioned in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is this. However, the beggar's chicken, a famous dish in Qiantang, is somewhat similar to the beggar's chicken in Jin Yong's novels.  It¡¯s different, and it may require more attention. You see, the mud wrapped in the beggar¡¯s chicken is not ordinary mud, it uses rice wine mud. This rice wine mud is not so easy to find.¡±

    "It should smell pretty good, right?" Li Yueji asked, "You can smell this fragrance from so far away."

    Xiao Yalin said, "That's natural. First of all, this soil can be said to be the essence of beggar's chicken. Firstly, the sealing property of the mud locks in the aroma of the roasted chicken. Secondly, the fragrance of the soil itself can also penetrate into the chicken.  Relieving tiredness and refreshing.

    But now many beggar chickens eaten in restaurants either steam the chicken first and then wrap it in a lotus leaf before serving it, or wrap it in a lotus leaf and then steam it.  Neither the former nor the latter is considered qualified in the field of beggar chickens.

    And this contestant not only strictly follows the traditional cooking method of beggar chicken, but also strictly uses high-quality rice wine mash. The beggar chicken is naturally fragrant and tastes very good.  "

    Xiao Yalin is right. After taking a bite of Beggar's Chicken, the judging panel immediately praised, "Thank you to contestant No. 10, Mr. Li, for allowing me to revisit the unique flavor of our famous Qiantang dish, Beggar's Chicken.

    Everyone in the audience knows the name of Beggar Chicken.  But there should be very few people who have truly tasted authentic Beggar¡¯s Chicken, especially authentic Qiantang Beggar¡¯s Chicken.

    There are many famous dishes in Qiantang, and many people can list dozens of them. However, you may not be able to cook Qiantang famous dishes by following the recipes.

      As Qiantang cuisine becomes more and more famous, the generous Qiantang people have already established clear standards for the traditional cooking methods of Qiantang cuisine, so that more people who love food can enjoy a delicious meal without even having to go to Qiantang.  In fact, it is not possible to cook authentic Qiantang famous dishes with standardized recipes.

    The beggar's chicken that Mr. Li showed us was cooked in strict accordance with the traditional beggar's chicken technique, and Mr. Li's control was also very good.  This makes this dish show off its unique flavor.

    So, this cooking performance was perfect.  My colleagues and I unanimously agreed to give our direct promotion quota to Mr. Li. We hope to see Mr. Li once again recreate the style of Qiantang's famous dishes in the finals!  "

    Li Yueji was not as interested as Xiao Yalin. Even though she was somewhat interested in the beggar chicken, she still looked around many times during the whole process.

    It¡¯s a pity that we have never been able to find any trace of the riverside.

    Jiang Bian looked down alone. Those who came to participate in the competition had some unique things in their hands. They looked very novel and were very helpful to improve his cooking skills. Although Jiang Bian was not very interested in cooking.  , but in order to cope with this cooking competition, Jiang Bian still worked hard to improve his level.

    I have conditions that others cannot match, so there is no reason to lose to others in the cooking competition.  Especially after meeting Yuan Wenguang, people who despise him should not let him be too proud. This is Jiangbian's consistent style.

    Jiangbian, who originally just wanted to deal with it, has undergone a big change in his thinking.

    Jiangbian visited several places in a row, and slowly gained some experience of this cooking competition.

    The judging experts seem to have a special preference for Qiantang¡¯s famous dishes. Several contestants who were directly promoted cook all Qiantang¡¯s famous dishes.  It is not ruled out that the Qiantang famous dishes cooked by these people are very good, but there is also the intention of the Culinary Arts Association to use the cooking competition to promote Qiantang famous dishes.

    Especially recently, some special programs on Qiantang TV station are about Qiantang¡¯s famous dishes. There is a special topic called ¡°Recovering Qiantang¡¯s famous dishes¡±.  This special topic was jointly filmed by the Qiantang Culinary Association and Qiantang TV Station.

    Jiangbian watched a little bit during his free time.  It shows that the Qiantang Culinary Art Association attaches great importance to the promotion of Qiantang's famous dishes, so in this cooking competition, contestants who cook Qiantang's famous dishes are more highly praised.

    Although Jiangbian came to Qiantang not long ago, he still has a certain understanding of Qiantang¡¯s famous dishes under the influence of Liu Jiedong.  There are many fish-flavored dishes in the famous dishes, including fish balls in clear soup, West Lake vinegar fish, steamed anchovies, dried herring, spring bamboo shoots, crucian carp with clams, fish head soup, shrimps with winter bamboo shoots, fried shrimps in oil, etc.

    Jiang Bian feels that if he plays a role in these famous dishes, he may be able to achieve unexpected results.  Some of these famous dishes are simply not something that others can make, such as steamed anchovies. If someone else wants to make this dish, the wild anchovies are not so easy to find, right?  But for Jiangbian, it is not difficult.  In the space by the river, several wild shad have been raised for a long time.  These shad that have been raised in the space for a period of time are probably more delicious than wild shad.

    Jiangbian raised his head and looked around. Just when he was about to sigh, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the distance.

    "Li Yueji?" Jiangbian was a little confused, but when he wanted to take a closer look, he was completely blocked by the bustling crowd.

    "Impossible! Although I heard that she is also in Qiantang City, it is not so easy to run into her!" Jiang Bian scratched his head and continued walking forward.

    Li Yueji seemed to see that figure again, and it was not far ahead, but there was an exhibition area separated by it. The handsome guy in this exhibition area was showing off his coquettish knife skills, which attracted everyone to watch.

    When Li Yueji squeezed through the crowd, the onlookers suddenly let out an exclamation in unison. They saw the sultry chef swinging two kitchen knives up, then catching them lightly, and then the two knives flew together and landed on the cutting board.  A piece of sword light fell on it.

    Li Yueji managed to squeeze out of the crowd, where could she find that familiar figure?

    "Yueji, Yueji, wait for me, don't walk so fast!" Xiao Yalin walked with difficulty among the crowd.

    Li Yueji looked around with disappointment. There were bustling crowds everywhere, but there was no figure she was looking for.

    Jiangbian walked out of the guild hall, and Yan Yuan was already waiting at the door.

    "How is it? Do you see any clues?" Yan Yuan asked.

    Jiang Bian smiled slightly, "If you can tell something about it from this look, then I will be the God of Cooking!"

    "You are it, you must be it! I pointed out that you became famous and expanded the fish restaurant!" Yan Yuan laughed.
