    Chapter 129 Knockout Round 1 (Please subscribe, please vote!)

    After reaching the top 32 in the cooking competition, a knockout round was held in order to enhance the excitement of the competition.  ////.  r¨¢nx¨ª¨§.  ¦£¨®m is paired into two groups, with the first place player in one group playing against the fourth place player from the other group, while the second place player plays against the third place player from the corresponding group.

    The content of the cooking skills has not changed much, but in order to increase the viewing pleasure, two PK players faced each other on the stage to compete.  It not only tests the contestants' cooking skills, but also tests the contestants' psychological quality.

    Thirty-two players are divided into four groups, with two pairs of players in each group competing on the stage at the same time.  As a result, the atmosphere on the stage became a bit tense, and the atmosphere naturally became tense.

    Jiangbian qualified as the first in the group, and naturally his opponent was the fourth in the other group. It seemed that there was a certain gap in strength, but cooking skills are different from sports competitions. It seems that there is a big gap in rankings, but in fact it is the same.  The difference between dishes.  At the same time, different referee standards are naturally different, making it difficult to compare, so the rankings cannot reflect the difference in strength.

    "After fierce competition in the group stage, 32 players finally stood out from the 64 finalists. They will soon bring us more intense competition. First of all, we invite four players from the first group to appear.  . They are No. 8, Jiangbian. His opponent is No. 23, Cheng Feizhou! The other pair of players is player No. 43, Wu Jianhua, and his opponent is player No. 19, Fang Junyi. Invited!" Manqing and Xia Tian  Continue to serve as the host of this knockout competition.

    Jiangbian¡¯s opponent this time is No. 23 Cheng Feizhou, who is also a player with an invitation letter, and his strength cannot be underestimated.

    Jiang Bian and Yan Yuan walked to the cooking demonstration table together, and their opponent Cheng Feizhou also walked up with his assistant.

    Cheng Feizhou is in his forties and looks kinder, and the assistants he brings are older than Jiang Bian.  Cheng Feizhou obviously didn't expect that his opponent was so young and frowned.  But he recovered quickly.  Immediately walked towards the river.

    "Hello, hello! I didn't expect my opponent to be so young! He is really young and promising. This time I have to learn a lot from my little brother!" Cheng Feizhou stretched his right hand towards the river.

    Jiangbian was a little at a loss. He actually stretched out his left hand, and the two of them shook it randomly.

    "Ginger is old and spicy. I have to learn from you, uncle!" Jiang Bian said.

    The title "Uncle" made Cheng Feizhou frown again, while Yan Yuan couldn't help but smile with his lips pursed behind him.

    Cheng Feizhou smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's go and say hello to the other pair of players who are competing at the same time. It is fate for everyone to be able to perform on the same stage. The game is over. Everyone can continue to communicate. // Burning Scorpion  Read the latest chapter // Prove each other¡¯s cooking skills and make progress together!¡±

    Jiang Bian and Yan Yuan did not refuse, and followed Cheng Feizhou towards the other pair of players.  The atmosphere on the stage suddenly became a little funny, as if it was no longer a knockout competition, but a cooking exchange conference.

    "It seems that our players are participating in this competition in the spirit of friendship first and competition second. They have friendly exchanges with each other as soon as they come up. I believe that with such an Olympic spirit, cooking skills  The competition will bring us more excitement," Manqing said.

    After several pairs of players got to know each other, they each returned to their posts.  Wait for the review expert¡¯s orders.

    This time the knockout round was supported by Man Chengde. Seeing that the players were already in place and ready to start, Man Chengde immediately shouted loudly, "The knockout round of thirty-two to sixteen has officially begun!"

    Jiangbian is still cooking fish this time. In order to maintain the best freshness of the fish, he did not process the fish in advance.  Instead, the fish was packed in a plastic bucket.

    The fish is a very common bighead carp, weighing about three or four kilograms.  It's a bit dishonest in the plastic bucket. This fish is more tossing than ordinary fish, tumbling from time to time, raising water high and splashing on the display stand.

    Seeing the chaos on the riverside, Cheng Feizhou showed a smile.  He thought to himself, "These two guys are still too young! If this fish had been killed earlier, they wouldn't be in such a mess. They even brought a live fish over. If they couldn't handle it well, there would be no need to compete at all. Such an opponent, too  It¡¯s too easy to deal with! I don¡¯t know how they qualified first in the group.¡±

    Although Cheng Feizhou appeared fourth in the group, he never thought that his cooking skills were lagging behind other contestants.  After all, in the group stage, he underestimated the opponent and did not show his highest level.  So even though he was facing an opponent who qualified first in the group, Cheng Feizhou was not very worried.  He decided to show his strongest strength from this round on.

    RiverBian and Yan Yuan had no time to meddle in other people's business, and the two of them slowly formed some tacit understanding.  Two people work together.  Start preparing for this dish on the riverside.

    Jiangbian's hand easily caught the bighead carp, which weighed three to four kilograms. The bighead carp was still struggling desperately in Jiangbian's hands, but Jiangbian held it firmly, leaving no trace of the bighead carp.  A chance to escape.

    Some people like to stun the fish first when cleaning it, which makes it easier to clean up. However, in this way, there will be inevitable residual blood in the fish body that has not been drained cleanly, causing the fish meat to have a strong fishy smell in the end.

    However, the riverside did not stun the fish, but directly cut the fish's body with a knife. During the fish's death struggle, all the fish's blood flowed out.  Then cut the fish open.  Take out half a piece of fish head, which is about half a pound of meat.  Then make a light cut on the gill meat and an oblique cut on the back meat.

    "None of the contestants in the knockout round announced the name of the dish they were going to cook in advance, making the competition even more suspenseful. Judging from the current handling of contestant No. 8 Master Jiang, he should be cooking 'fish head soup'. This  This dish is also a famous Qiantang dish, and the ingredients used are also very common. I remember when Master Jiang was in the group stage, he cooked 'West Lake Fish in Vinegar', which is also a famous dish, but the fish used is very common.  Home-style fish. Master Jiang¡¯s cooking skills gave us a refreshing feeling. Now let¡¯s look at Master Jiang¡¯s operation. To be honest, I don¡¯t see anything special. It¡¯s just a regular way of handling it. The cooking steps are the same as what we saw.  There is not much difference in the steps. Let's wait and see if Master Jiang can turn decay into magic this time." Man Qing was naturally very impressed by Jiang Bian.

    "After looking at Contestant No. 8, let's look at his opponent. Contestant No. 23, Master Cheng, has extremely superb cooking skills and has been immersed in cooking for decades. He has extremely rich experience. We just saw that his knife skills are extremely superb and he knows the ingredients well.  The processing is also very sophisticated. Judging from the ingredients prepared by Master Cheng, the dish he is going to make should be 'Hundred Birds Chao Feng', also known as 'Dumpling Chicken'. The meat is tender and crispy.  The chicken is surrounded by bird-shaped dumplings with thin skin and fresh stuffing. The image is vivid, the soup is fragrant and mellow, and it is rich in nutrients. It is one of the famous traditional dishes of Qiantang."

    "This dish appeared in Qiantang as early as before the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the dumplings were collectively called 'wontons'. So they were also called chicken wontons, the predecessor of 'dumplings and chickens'. Phoenix is ??the auspicious chicken and bird in Chinese tradition. The king of my country compares dumplings and chickens to hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, embodying this beautiful wish - eating this dish will bring you good luck and happiness."

    In contrast, when the show started on the 8th, it was a bit hectic and almost caused trouble.  Judging from the opening, Master Jiang was slightly behind, but Master Jiang also made a sudden appearance at the last moment.  Won first place in the group in one fell swoop.  So this pair of PK opponents is still full of suspense.  "

    Wait for Manqing to finish introducing the situation of the two pairs of players here.  On the other side, Xia Tian also began to introduce another pair of players.

    "The players on Manqing's side performed very well, and the players on our side were no less generous, right? Well, I think there are still many viewers in the audience who agree with me."

    "Well, let me also introduce the situation here. Contestant No. 19, Master Fang, is an extremely experienced master chef. He has been engaged in cooking for many years and has many years of experience as a chef in a five-star hotel. Now it is even more  The chef of Shandong cuisine at Louwailou who has great influence in Qiantang. The dish he will show you today is the first dish of Confucius' birthday banquet, "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea to Make Arhats". This dish is the largest cuisine in China - Shandong cuisine  A very important famous dish in China.¡±

    "This dish uses shark's fin, sea cucumber, abalone, fish bones, fish maw, shrimp, asparagus, and ham as the 'Eight Immortals'. Chop the chicken breast into puree and make it into the shape of Arhat money at the bottom of the bowl, which is called 'Arhat'."  After it's done, put it in a round porcelain pot, arrange it in eight directions, put the Arhat chicken in the middle, and sprinkle ham slices, ginger slices and boiled green cabbage leaves on top. Then pour the boiled chicken soup over it and it's ready."

    "According to Master Fang, this dish is his best dish. When I saw these ingredients carefully prepared by Master Fang, I started to salivate! I wonder if the audience members feel this way?"

    "Master Fang's opponent, Contestant No. 43, Master Wu, although he is young, his cooking skills are very superb. With his outstanding skills, he has opened up his own world. Now Qiantang City's famous hometown restaurant is his industry  .¡±

    "The delicious dish Master Wu brought us is 'Chestnut Fried Chicken'. 'Chestnut Fried Chicken' is a famous seasonal dish in the Qiantang area during the golden autumn season. The chicken chosen is this year's new chicken, and this season is  The new chicken is at its fattest and tenderest, and the chestnuts used are also new this year. Needless to say, the ¡®Chestnut Stir-fried Chicken¡¯ tastes great!¡±

    "Who will be the winner, Master Fang or Master Wu? Let's wait and see!"

    The introduction of Manqing and Xia TianWhen the feast came to an end, Jiangbian had already finished processing the bighead carp and started preparing the ingredients.  The making process of fish head soup is very simple.  But to make the fish head soup have a unique flavor, it requires excellent cooking ability.

    In terms of cooking skills, I am afraid that any contestant would be better than Jiang Bian, but Jiang Bian has his own specialties. One is his secret soup, and the second is the food he has processed in space.  The third unique ingredient is the space water he uses to make soup, which cannot be obtained by other players.  Just these three things make Jiangbian in an invincible position.

    Jiangbian put the fish head that had been blanched in boiling water with the cross section facing up in a wok, briefly fried it in the boiled lard for a while, then turned the fish head over, and after a while, added some rice wine to it.

    There was a sizzling sound immediately in the pot, and a strong aroma of wine wafted out.  The aroma of this wine made Jiangbian very intoxicated.

    It was taken from the jug of wine that Liu Huijun gave me that day. What¡¯s interesting is that after the wine was left in the space for a few days, the taste actually became much mellower.

    Then add onions, ginger, etc., and add a ladle of boiling water that has been cooked.  This boiling water is naturally boiled with space water.  Cover the pot and cook over high heat for a few minutes.  Add the Chinese cabbage and let it boil for a minute.

    Afterwards, Jiangbian took out the fish head, put it into the pot, and placed the cabbage hearts around the fish head.

    Jiangbian carefully removed the green onion and ginger from the pot, discarded the minced pieces, leaving only the soup, and then added some salt and MSG to it.  Put into the pot.  This dish is complete.
