Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 744 Chapter 740 Three: Three Dishes

When the time came, [-] assistants sent the finished product to the high platform, where Mr. Lin and others tasted and judged.

Thirty dishes, some for dim sum and some for pasta, with a lot of variety.

The mending meat pie made by Song Qiu is not the most conspicuous among all the dishes, but it is hard to ignore.

Ten meatloaf, each one is like a nail on the city gate, the meat is solid, the skin is crispy, the inside is tender, the same thin skin is full of filling, one bite will burst the juice, the fragrance is strong, the whole tip of the tongue is covered, Even after gargling, there is still an aftertaste.

At the moment, including Mr. Lin, after tasting it, they all nodded secretly.

Of course, the final result was not surprising. Among the fifteen places, Song Qiu was impressively named.

When it was announced, there was an uproar among the onlookers.

Although there was a gambling stall, almost half of the people bought that Song Qiu would not be able to enter the top three. Seeing her pass the first round now, these people became concerned and prayed repeatedly that she would not pass the second round. The round is good, otherwise, they will lose miserably.

Lu Jing and the others were in the crowd, hearing someone cursing Song Qiushu, they wished they could rush up and scratch that person's face.

snort!
She, Aunt Qiu, won't lose!

According to the selection by professional judges, Song Qiu was able to enter the fifteenth place, which showed that her culinary skills were not just a matter of chance.

Those who bought her not to buy were worried, but those who bought her were so excited that they almost jumped up.

Listening to the loud discussions of the people below, Mr. Lin and others on the stage couldn't help paying more attention to Song Qiu.

After all, this culinary competition has been held so many times, and no girl of this age has ever participated in it, and she has come here after the first two competitions.

In the next fifteen to three, people can't help but look forward to her a little more.

The second round started after a quarter of an hour's rest. This round of three dishes, the stipulated time is two hours.

When Song Qiu listened to the rules, he thought about which three dishes to cook. For cold dishes, make spring bamboo shoots with pepper and sesame, for hot dishes, make Dongpo elbow, and for soups, make eel and ginseng soup.

During the break, he explained to A Ling carefully again, so when he came to the stage, A Ling knew what to do first without Song Qiu saying more, and saved some words.

Cold dishes don't take much effort, mainly eel soup and Dongpo elbow. It's just right for four hours, and the movements are a little bit sloppy.

A Ling is responsible for handling the eels.

Song Qiu handles the elbows, washes the elbows, soaks in salt water for a quarter of an hour, then puts water into a pot and simmers until it is half-cooked.

When the elbow was cooked, Ah Ling also killed the eel. Song Qiu took the eel and asked Ah Ling to peel the bamboo shoots and cut the side dishes.

The eels were deboned and visceral. Song Qiu dragged them with boiling water to remove blood and mucus, and then sliced ​​them.

Wash the tendons of the pig's trotters and the spine of the pig, and chop them into pieces one by one.

Remove the cores of Codonopsis pilosula, angelica, and red dates, wash them, and put them in a casserole with eel slices, pork tendon, and pork spine. Sit on another stove, add an appropriate amount of water, and boil with a strong fire, then simmer for an hour and a half. Add a little wine and salt to adjust the service.

At this time, the control is just right, and the soup will be ready after the incense burns out.

Then, Song Qiu took out the half-cooked elbows and steamed them in a basket.

Peel the spring bamboo shoots and wash them, let Ah Ling cut them into slices, blanch them in a boiling water pot and let them cool.

Song Qiu started, soaked the dried peppercorns in warm water, removed the black seeds, washed the green onion leaves and chopped them finely together with the peppercorns, then added a little hot oil to stimulate the aroma of the shallots, and finally made a peppery paste.

Add salt and pepper paste to the cooled bamboo shoots and mix well. After putting on a plate, garnish with a little bit. Put it aside and wait for the dish to be served.

Then put the steamed elbow out of the pan, put it on a plate, stir-fry the bean chili sauce in a wok with hot oil for a few times, then add garlic, ginger, pepper, green onion, sugar, vinegar, salt, coriander and broth, stir well and serve Pour the pot on the elbows in the plate and serve.

Half a moment before the incense was burned, the eel ginseng soup was also out of the pot.

Three courses, served with a little garnish.

The spring bamboo shoots with pepper and hemp are served on a green disc. The pepper and hemp are fragrant, crisp, tender and refreshing, and appetizing.

Dongpo elbow is decorated with green leaves, the color is attractive, fat but not greasy, raked but not rotten, the taste is soft and glutinous, and it melts in the mouth.

Eel Guiginseng Soup is served in a double-eared earthen cup. It is refreshing and not greasy. It nourishes qi and blood and tastes delicious.

The whole scene of the competition was full of fragrance, and the people onlookers salivated and swallowed.

For the three dishes, the guys put up bamboo plates to mark the numbers, and they were chaotic, and sent them to the high platform for evaluation one by one.

Elder Lin and other 11 people tasted the dishes. The dishes were not suitable for the people. The discussion was intense and the best three groups were selected.

The tasting discussion on the high stage was intense, and everyone below was also extremely nervous, waiting for the final result.

"As a cold dish, I think this Baihua Duck Tongue is good, but the yellow croaker is not so good."

"I think this spring bamboo shoots with peppercorns is good. It is fragrant and crisp, and it goes well with your mouth."

"This pearl fish ball is not bad."

"This crispy fried carp is also good."

"I think this braised eel dish is good."

"It's not as good as this eel ginseng soup, which is more delicious."

"This ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup is not inferior."

"This potsticker tofu dish is good, and the crispy chicken dish is also good."

"I think this Dongpo elbow is even better, and it should be in the top three."

"This Dongpo elbow is really good, it's really memorable."

"Old Lin, what do you think?"

In the end, Mr. Lin sorted out the three groups of dishes and selected No.1, No.2, and No.3.

Ah Ling's eyes were sharp, and he saw that his three dishes were among the first three groups. He was so excited that he grabbed Song Qiu's hand, and kept silently saying: golden kitchen knife, golden kitchen knife, golden kitchen knife.

Song Qiu wasn't nervous at all, but he couldn't help becoming nervous when he heard her mumbling.

It is already very good to be in the top three, at least I can receive the award, but it has come to this point, if I can get the golden kitchen knife, it is also very beautiful.

On the high platform, after some deliberation, Elder Lin finally pointed to the group on the left.

The steward went to the high stage, and the top three were about to be announced. Everyone was looking forward to it, and the excitement was even worse. Song Qiu even heard someone yelling loudly that she must not enter.

But as soon as the steward made the announcement, those who slapped their thighs and sighed were all overwhelmed.

Song Qiu entered the top three, but not No.1, he got second.

Ah Ling also stomped his feet and sighed, hating to miss the golden kitchen knife.

The people below were more excited than her.

"Damn! I've made it to the top three! I just wanted to have fun, and beat this Song girl by ten taels of silver! One pays three, oops! It's a big profit!"

"I bet five taels of silver on her not getting in! It's a terrible loss!"

"You are only five taels, what a loss! I thought how powerful this little girl is, so I bet on her and lost 20 taels! What a pity!"

"Haha! Who told you to be blind! Now I've made a lot of money!"

"..."

Amidst the excitement, Song Qiu came to the stage to receive the award. The first and third place were both middle-aged uncles, but she, a little girl, looked particularly eye-catching.

The No.1 grand prize is a golden kitchen knife, which I have known for a long time.

What the second and third places are doing will be revealed.

Song Qiu looked at the ten silver ingots handed over, and also narrowed his eyes with a smile.

Gold kitchen knives are useless, I'm afraid they can't be offered, so it's better to use this silver.

After receiving the prize, the three were invited into the full house.

Song Qiu had already heard from Mrs. Gao that the top three could be nominated to participate in the examination for the royal chef in the palace. Hearing what Mr. Lin said now, it was no surprise.

But he opened his mouth and declined.

Seeing her decline, Mr. Lin was not surprised, and even breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this little girl's culinary skills are worthy of the top three, he will not cheat, but it is not appropriate for the little girl to participate in the imperial chef's recruitment examination.

She can give up by herself, which is the best of both worlds.

Immediately, No.4 was mentioned and the spot was given to him.

Song Qiu took Yin Zi and went out to join Ah Ling and the others.
