Thanks to book friend 110618115342582, Yuan Gang¡¯s wife, and Hezhou fisherman 1218 for their rewards and support!
Jiangbian was in the fourth group and appeared in the seventh batch, and Xiao Yalin also appeared at the same time. []
When Jiang Bian and Yan Yuan walked towards the cooking demonstration table, they happened to meet Xiao Yalin and Li Yueji at the entrance.
"Li Yueji?" "Riverside?"
Jiang Bian and Li Yueji looked at each other in surprise. Neither of them expected to meet under such circumstances.
Although Li Yueji knew the list of players and was very suspicious that this riverside was the other riverside, he still couldn't help but be surprised when he actually encountered them.
Jiangbian¡¯s surprise was the reason why he accidentally met Li Yueji. The most important reason is that there is such a huge difference between the rose in my eyes now and the rose in my eyes in the village.
When she was in Banshan Village, Li Yueji was like an indestructible goddess in Jiang Bian's eyes, but now, in his eyes, Li Yueji is just like the girl next door. Jiang Bian couldn't figure out why his view of Li Yueji had changed so much.
"Jiangbian! It's really you!" The smile on Li Yueji's face bloomed like a summer flower.
"Yue Ji, you are also in Qiantang!" Jiang Bian laughed.
Jiang Bian found that this time he was able to talk to Li Yueji very calmly, and he was no longer as nervous as before.
Li Yueji seems to have experienced this familiar yet unfamiliar feeling by the river. The woman's sensitivity allowed her to clearly feel the changes in Jiangbian, but she could not tell exactly where Jiangbian had changed.
"Yueji, this Jiangbian is really your friend? But now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Now they are our competitors. After the game is over, how about we reminisce about the old friendship with them?" Xiao Yalin urged.
Seeing Li Yueji and Jiang Bian standing there stunned, Man Qing came over to see the reason.
Unexpectedly, when I came over to see him, he turned out to be an acquaintance.
"Hey, this is our fishing brother! He will be the center of attention wherever he goes! I am very curious whether our fishing brother's cooking skills can be as outstanding as his fishing skills!" Man Qing said with a smile.
Jiang Bian also smiled and turned back to Li Yueji and said, "Yueji, I'll come find you after the competition is over. Let's see how the big beauties in our village are doing in Qiantang City?"
Li Yueji smiled sweetly and nodded.
Li Yueji's thoughts were very confused. Manqing said hello to Jiangbian, then went over to introduce to Xia Tian one by one the four contestants in this batch and the four assistants each brought.
Li Yueji didn¡¯t seem to hear it at all and was still looking towards the river.
When Li Yueji was introduced, Li Yueji had no reaction at all.
Xiao Yalin gently pulled Li Yueji. Li Yueji thought the game had started and said hurriedly, "Sister Yueji, what do you want?"
Everyone at the scene thought that this beautiful girl was so nervous when she appeared in front of the camera for the first time that she panicked.
Xiao Yalin couldn't help but smile, "Fool, you are introducing us! Don't desert, we can't fail this time!"
Although Li Yueji was a little panicked, she still couldn't conceal the beauty of the beauty group. Contestant No. 17 immediately became the focus of public attention as soon as she appeared.
Jiangbian was still looking carefree, as if the encounter with Li Yueji just now had no impact on him. When he was introduced, he waved to the audience leisurely. Even Yan Yuan was a little surprised, because he performed much better than the restrained Yan Yuan.
Yan Yuan was a little nervous and started wiping sweat as soon as he came on stage, "Oh, this weather is so hot!"
There was something strange at the riverside, "Isn't the air conditioner on here?"
"Uh, it's the air conditioner, it's turned on too high!" Yan Yuan said.
"Are you cold or hot?" Jiang Bian asked in confusion.
¡°Sometimes it¡¯s cold, sometimes it¡¯s hot!¡± Yan Yuan scratched his head and said.
"I think you are showing off!" Jiang Bian said.
The competition officially started, and several contestants began to process their own ingredients. In order to make the competition fair, in addition to the difficult-to-handle ingredients, which can be handled in advance, such as the slaughtering and feathering of animals and poultry, which are neither ornamental nor troublesome, can be handled in advance. However, the cutting of animal and poultry meat requires on-site processing.
The specialty of Jiangbian is fish dishes, so naturally it will not limit itself to cooking other types of dishes.
Jiangbian has long prepared a grass carp that has been raised in the space for a long time. It is placed in a bucket and various seasonings are also in the space.?It is cultivated, and even the vinegar is made by Jiangbian in the space using soil methods.
The riverside has already practiced handling fish countless times. I saw the kitchen knife waved, and in a short time, the grass carp had been cleaned up.
However, in the eyes of the professionals at the scene, Jiangbian's performance was very ordinary. "Contestant No. 8 has finished processing the grass carp. Judging from the situation, he is preparing to make a West Lake vinegar fish. The original name of the West Lake vinegar fish is Song Sao fish. There is a very beautiful story, which I believe anyone from Qiantang will be familiar with. However, this young man¡¯s knife skills are average. What¡¯s rare is that his knife skills are very simple and not fancy at all, which is rare among young people. "
Finally, I gave Jiangbian a compliment at the end.
In fact, there is not only one smart person from Jiangbian, most of the contestants cook famous Qiantang dishes. In fact, after the preliminaries, some experts analyzed that the purpose of organizing this cooking competition is to use the opportunity of the cooking competition to promote Qiantang's famous dishes. Therefore, many contestants received extra points for making famous Qiantang dishes.
Xiao Yalin cooks Longjing shrimps. She has been praised by experts from the beginning, "I am very optimistic about this beautiful cook. Her cooking skills are as outstanding as her appearance. Every step she takes is like a chef." The creative process of art is ordinary. From here we can see that her understanding of cooking is extraordinary. I am very much looking forward to the taste of the Longjing shrimp she makes."
"Contestant No. 17 is one of the few women who has entered the finals, and she is also the most beautiful chef. Judging from the several treatments we have seen so far, this girl has reached a very high level in her cooking skills. She is absolutely outstanding in front of her peers. In addition, judging from her concentration, it can also be seen that she is very dedicated. It is indeed rare for young people today to be so dedicated to cooking." Another expert also said sincerely 's sigh.
Li Yueji was at a loss at first, but as time went by, she slowly calmed down, and her cooperation with Xiao Yalin became more and more skillful.
Jiangbian was calmly carrying out his cooking process, seeming to have forgotten everything around him. There were no cameras, no audience around him, and no experts who were always chatting and talking but could only eat but not cook.
Every time I add a seasoning, Jiangbian always has a strange feeling. You can only add how much, and if you exceed it, it will affect the taste of the dish. When every chef reaches a certain level, he will feel like adding any seasoning. As long as he pays careful attention, he can add the seasoning to the most appropriate amount.
Yu Puze, the president of Man Chengde and Culinary Arts Association, happens to be the judge of this group.
"Old man Man, these are all famous Qiantang dishes. Which one do you like the most?" Yu Puze asked Man Chengde.
Man Chengde has been paying attention to Jiangbian. This invitation was sent by him. If he didn't perform well, his face would be tarnished.
Man Chengde did not answer Yu Puze's question, but asked, "Old man Yu, first tell me which one you are most optimistic about?"
"Me? Of course it's No. 17! Although the other two are experienced chefs, their cooking skills are also very talented. I think this girl's talent is very good. As for No. 8, I think it's The weakest one among these, although he looks decent to me, his movements look like a tiger rather than a dog. So, there should be no hope," Yu Puze said. .
"Oh? But I want to tell you, Old Man Yu, you are mistaken! The one I am most optimistic about is the one you are least optimistic about." Man Chengde said, but after only saying this, Man Chengde focused on On the riverside.
"Why? I don't see anything special about this boy?" Yu Puze asked doubtfully.
"Have you noticed this boy's number? How did he get the invitation? Let me tell you, I personally sent this invitation! Why do you think I am optimistic about this boy?" Man Chengde said .
"You said you sent this boy's invitation? Do you know him? Ugh! How could you do such a thing! So, the only possibility is that you have eaten the dishes he cooked! And the taste is very outstanding! It should be That's it!" Yu Puze knew Man Chengde's character very well.
Man Chengde nodded, "That's right. So, I'm very much looking forward to the unique taste of the West Lake vinegar fish he makes."
"But that girl's cooking skills are also outstanding?" Yu Puze still didn't believe it.
"Lao Yu, it's not like you don't know that some secret recipes in the hands of some people have been accumulated over hundreds of generations, and cannot be defeated by one or two people on their own!" Man Chengde said.
"Oh! I understand, he has something pretty good?Secret recipe? "Yu Puze suddenly realized.
After more than ten minutes, the contestants¡¯ cooking was basically finished and it was time for the final shaping process.
Jiangbian shoveled the West Lake vinegar fish out of the pot, placed it on an oval dish, and then decorated it with some green vegetable leaves around it. Although it is not a work of art, it can still be regarded as quite satisfactory. This period of hard training was not in vain.
Man Qing walked over quickly, "Today's contestants showed us one delicious Qiantang famous dish after another. This round, there are also four Qiantang famous dishes. Contestant No. 17's Longjing Shrimp, Contestant No. 8's West Lake Vinegar Fish, Contestant No. 23¡¯s Dongpo Pork, Contestant No. 58¡¯s Qiantang Sauce Duck. Each dish is like a work of art, displayed in front of us, making us salivate. But I still have to ask our experts to taste us first The contestants¡¯ carefully prepared creations.¡±
The judges of the cooking competition are not professional tasters, but the top executives of the culinary association and judges selected by the public. There is no big problem with fairness.
Hearing what Man Chengde said, Yu Puze became very interested in the West Lake vinegar fish by the river.
