For the same dish, the cooking process of the two contestants was very different, and the ingredients were also very different, which made the judges and the audience extremely enjoyable to watch.
"Hey, this contestant No. 8 is interesting! He is actually preparing an innovative dish. It's too risky! In terms of ingredients, he is already invincible. As long as he cooks the steamed anchovies in a satisfactory way, he can win This game. In terms of flavor, there is no comparison between farmed anchovies and Yangtze River anchovies. But once he chooses to innovate the dishes, it leaves an opportunity for his opponents! Once the innovation fails, it is very likely that It led to the final comeback. I used the best ingredients to turn the tables on others, and I didn¡¯t even have to think about the outcome!" said a review expert.
Man Chengde shook his head, "I think he had no choice but to do so! You must know that this traditional steamed anchovy requires an ingredient, but this ingredient is not available in this season. Since there is no such ingredient, Naturally, he had to modify the dishes! Therefore, I think he had no choice but to do so. I think he did not expect that his opponent would cook the same dish as him at first! This semi-final was very strange. The two contestants actually I know how to match the dishes!¡±
Yu Puze on the side smiled awkwardly, but did not avoid the question, "I have just learned about this situation. It is really abnormal for two contestants to cook the same dish in the semi-finals. I will check it carefully when I get back. But now that This is already the case, we can only look at their performance. In the final analysis, the contestants are still required to have excellent cooking skills. If we control the judges well, there will be no problems."
Man Chengde nodded, "Yes. But this kind of thing can't happen again. If something like this happens again, the reputation of our Culinary Arts Association will definitely be damaged!"
In the audience, an audience member mused, "I think this young man is just daring to do something. Every time I watch him cook, I always have a refreshing feeling. Although it seems that his cooking skills are mediocre, no one notices it." , his focused expression during the cooking process is really rare to see in such a young chef.¡±
"However, I still have some opinions about his innovation. The steamed anchovy dish is already a very mature famous Qiantang dish. Slight changes may be difficult for people to accept, unless he has extremely extraordinary cooking skills. The flavor has been significantly improved, otherwise the result will be unpredictable. On this side, this old chef is obviously extremely experienced and very calm during the cooking process. I think he will be more likely to win. bigger."
"You're wrong! I watched all this young man's games from beginning to end. Only in the last game he was directly promoted without competing. In the previous games, although he cooked famous Qiantang dishes, he used The ingredients are all ordinary, but in the end, he was able to win the competition with the outstanding flavor of the dishes he cooked. In this case, he chose expensive ingredients and had an overwhelming advantage in the ingredients. I think, He will definitely surprise us again!¡±
What is very interesting is that although the cooking process of Jiangbian and Feiqishui is very surprising, what is very surprising is that the cooking of the two people ended at the same time.
When the two people poured the prepared soup on the anchovies at the same time, and then stood aside with hands folded, a burst of warm applause broke out.
The two people controlled the time so accurately that they finally finished cooking at the same time.
The atmosphere at the scene naturally became tense.
Under the stage, in the corner, Liu Huijun¡¯s hands were tightly clasped together. Liu Dingxiang didn't feel too nervous, and looked around curiously.
"Second sister, do you think the Little Turtle King will win this time?" Liu Dingxiang asked.
Before Liu Huijun could say anything, Liu Dingxiang added, "I guess it's a bit confusing. Look at his opponent, he seems to be very good. My father said that Chinese medicine doctors are like chefs. The older they get, the better they get. Look. That old chef is much older than the Little Turtle King, and he eats more salt than he eats rice!"
"What are you talking about? I don't know what to look for!" Liu Huijun said, seeming to be a little unhappy with Liu Dingxiang's conclusion.
Liu Dingxiang stuck out her tongue and quickly closed her mouth. She kept staring at the two hosts and thought to herself, "People in the city are so bold. They dare to go on stage while wearing such cool clothes. No wonder so many men like it." !¡±
Yan Yuan and Yuan Wenguang each carried their plates and walked to the center of the demonstration table, where there were two round tables. The two people each placed the steamed anchovies in their hands on the round table, looked at each other, and rolled their eyes at each other. This is the most convenient action on the stage.
"The most tense moment has arrived. The hard work of the two contestants finally made the two?Steamed anchovies were put on the table. Which one is better or worse can be known by the review experts after tasting it. " Man Qing said.
Xia Tian also smiled and said, "Seeing these two steamed anchovies with different styles makes me excited. I wonder if we can be guest judges?"
"How about telling the director later that the rest of these two steamed anchovies can be packed back for us?" Man Qing said.
The two hosts¡¯ funny jokes made the entire audience laugh, and the tense atmosphere relaxed a little.
Manqing added, "Now let's ask our review experts to eat it while it's hot! Oh, no, taste it first!"
Man Chengde and other experts walked towards the dish tasting table. Man Chengde said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will leave some for you to pack!"
When we arrived at the food tasting table, all the review experts immediately became serious.
Tasting food is not only a review process. In fact, as soon as you go to the table, you will have table manners. Tasting food is actually sitting at the table, so naturally you should pay attention to the etiquette of the banquet. For example, whoever takes off the chopsticks first must be particular about it.
As the chairman of the Culinary Arts Association, Yu Puze is often the first to use chopsticks. However, with Mei Hongfang present, Yu Puze had to be humble, because Mei Hongfang was the oldest and was a scholar.
"Teacher Mei, you should come first! If you don't use your chopsticks first, no one here will dare to do anything!" Yu Puze said.
Mei Hongfang is a scholar, and he doesn¡¯t have the crooked heart that has been in the officialdom. After a few humility, he agreed.
Mei Hongfang picked up the chopsticks and naturally picked up the authentic Yangtze River shad. Mei Hongfang used his chopsticks to gently pinch the scales of the shad, and the scales immediately oozed crystal silvery oil. He only moved his chopsticks, and Mei Hongfang praised it, "It is indeed a Yangtze River shad!"
Carefully picked up a small piece of fish meat and tasted it carefully in his mouth. After a while, Mei Hongfang said, "First, I hate that the anchovies are spiny, secondly, I hate that the begonia has no fragrance, and thirdly, I hate that the Dream of Red Mansions is not over yet."
Mei Hongfang¡¯s words quoted Zhang Ailing. Ms. Zhang Ailing once mentioned three regrets in life: first, she hated that shad are spiny, second, she hated that begonias were fragrant, and third, she hated that the Dream of Red Mansions was not over yet. She compared the delicacy of anchovies to Begonia among the Flowers and the Red Mansion in the book. It's just that anchovies have many spines, which must make the eater extremely anxious when eating them.
Mei Hongfang quoted this sentence at this time, which shows his admiration for this steamed anchovy dish. The steamed shad made by the riverside was so high when I opened my mouth that I almost didn¡¯t need to taste the shad in Fitch Water later. Of course, this is just Mei Hongfang's personal opinion.
Mei Hong saw that there were some various mushrooms at the bottom of the bowl, which was very strange, so he took a piece of mushroom from the bowl and put it into his mouth. As soon as he took the mushroom into his mouth, a light fragrance filled his mouth. . After chewing it carefully, I found that it was sweet and not even half as good as the anchovies.
"I said this anchovy is even more beautiful than the anchovies I have eaten in the past. It turns out it is the ingredients that are causing trouble! It would be a pity if you don't taste these mushrooms!" Mei Hongfang reminded.
"Really? Then I have to taste it!" Man Chengde said.
This steamed anchovy has given me a big surprise. Obviously, there is another outstanding flavor in this dish, so naturally I can¡¯t let it go.
Everyone tasted the mushrooms again and immediately praised them.
"Well, but what kind of mushroom is this? Why does it have a faint medicinal aroma? It smells amazing!"
"Yes, although this steamed anchovy dish lacks the fragrance of fresh bamboo shoots, these mushrooms of various shapes not only make up for the shortcomings, but also make the flavor more perfect."
¡°I wonder if these mushrooms have the same taste?¡± Someone suddenly said.
Everyone turned their attention to the steamed anchovies cooked by the river.
Being impatient, he had already put his chopsticks towards the mushrooms on the fish plate, so he started fighting again and almost ate all the steamed anchovies cooked by the riverside!
The abnormal behavior of the judges cannot escape the eyes of the audience. There is only one possibility for the judges to be so abnormal, and that is that the taste of this dish is beyond imagination.
The abnormal behavior of the judges could not escape the eyes of Yuan Wenguang and Fei Qishui. They were not far from the tasting table, so they could naturally see it clearly.
Yuan Wenguang felt a chill in his heart. Although he hadn¡¯t tasted Feiqishui¡¯s steamed anchovy yet, there had been such a big commotion over there. No matter how delicious it was here, it would be difficult to come back!
Countless beads of sweat appeared on Fei Qishui's forehead. He knew that this time, he was really screwed up!
Jiangbian and Yan Yuan naturally understood this game and won! But it hasn¡¯t been announced yet, and no one hasDare to decide who wins and who loses, after all, the public judges will need to vote in the end!
In the lounge, Xiao Yalin and Li Yueji jumped up excitedly.
"We won! We must have won!" Li Yueji said excitedly.
Xiao Yalin nodded, "Well, there should be no problem! This game is a complete victory! No matter how good the cooking skills are, there is no way they can come back! The riverside is really the right time, place and people, they are all occupied!"
"Sister Yalin, it would be great if we entered the finals, then you two siblings will compete for the championship!" Li Yueji said with a smile.
Xiao Yalin was smiling, staring at the TV screen, but did not speak.
"Is it just a younger brother?" Xiao Yalin asked in her heart, but no one would give her an answer to this question.
