Chapter 365 Wait for me!

Especially the shopkeepers of the other three restaurants except Baxianlou and Juweizhai are very happy.

After all, the status of Baxianlou and Juweizhai is hard to shake. They can rank among the top five in the entire capital. Their reputation is loud enough and they can gain a firm foothold in the capital.

Zheng Mingyuan looked calm at this time, showing no signs of anger. Chen Guiming now had a layer of anger on his face. He looked at Zheng Mingyuan and said, "Chef Zheng's cooking skills are getting better and better."

"Chef Chen is getting better and better with each other." Zheng Mingyuan responded with a smile.

But this smile was full of sarcasm and provocation in Chen Guiming's eyes. He snorted coldly and walked away.

Zheng Mingyuan, just wait for me!

——

The next day, there was the second cooking competition.

The strips drawn today are fish and pork, the cooking method is stew, and the promotion method is five to three.

And today, another rule has been added - within one and a half hours, the dishes cannot be served in advance, but must be served at the last moment for the judges to taste.

As soon as such a rule was announced, the onlookers were also stunned.

Fish and pork are both meat dishes, and both are ingredients that can be used as main dishes. If you mix the two together at this time, I'm afraid they won't blend well. If you don't grasp the ratio of the two ingredients well, it will easily affect the taste.

In addition, there is still time to serve food.

It is winter, and if the dishes are prepared too early, they will become cold, which will completely affect the taste and taste, and even the appearance will not look good. Even if they are placed in a steamer on the stove to keep them warm, they will be overheated.

It tastes bad when eaten.

But if you don't seize the time, you may not have enough time in the end. Being in a hurry will also affect your state and make you unable to make good food.

In short, the difficulty of cooking today can be said to be even more difficult than yesterday.

All the cooks looked solemn and did not dare to show any signs of neglect. After thinking for a long time, they began to select the ingredients and ingredients they wanted.

After the five cooks had been busy for half an hour, one of the cooks stood up with a dejected face and said, "I give up."

Anyone give up?

Everyone immediately started talking.

"We've come to this point. If we make a random dish, even if it's the worst, it'll still be fifth. What's the point of giving up now?"

"You don't understand this. This cook has been cooking all his life. He has extremely high requirements for himself. Naturally, he will not allow himself to casually cook a dish that is not suitable for the table."

"Yeah, just give up and save some dignity for yourself..."

When someone said this, the others were silent for a while, but they looked at the cook with a little more admiration.

After all, at this time, those who have the courage to speak out and give up must have made great determination.

As soon as the cook opened his mouth to give up, the other cook, after a cup of tea, looked at the dishes in his hands, and also stood up and wanted to give up.

When the first person said he gave up, everyone was quite surprised, but when the second person opened his mouth, everyone was quite used to it and didn't say much.

It's just that today, five people were promoted to three, and now two people have given up. Can the remaining three people advance directly?

While Chef Fang was filling the fish, he suddenly thought of this, and he immediately became happy.

He is now almost certain to be promoted. No matter what dish he cooks, he will be ranked third!

What luck!

Chef Fang was so happy that his smile almost reached his ears.

At this time, Zheng Mingyuan and Chen Guiming could not care about anything else and only concentrated on cooking their own dishes.

Soon, an hour passed, the gong sounded, and it was time for the judges to taste the dishes.

The dishes of the three people were brought to the judges one after another.

The first is the stewed fish made by Chen Guiming. The fish is made from Ga fish. The bottom of the pot is stir-fried with fat pork belly until fragrant. The fish is boiled with various ingredients over high heat and simmered slowly over low heat. You can scoop it up at any time when eating. It has a warm taste.

Moreover, the fish meat is fresh and tender, and the taste becomes more and more delicious the longer it is stewed. This kind of stewed fish has a rich flavor and dominates people's taste buds quite aggressively. Everyone who tasted it was full of praise.

Next is the boiled fish made by Chef Fang. It has a spicy and spicy taste and is fresh and tender. Although it is not as good as Chen Guiming's cooking, the fish meat is also loose due to the long cooking time, and the texture is too soft, but it is barely edible.

Able to enter.

Finally, there is Zheng Mingyuan's dish. It is not a dish or a basin, but a very deep soup cup. One person has one cup, and the portion is not large.

It looks like this is fish stew?

Everyone was surprised and curious. When they opened the lid of the soup cup and saw the white balls floating on it, they suddenly understood - fish ball soup!

The fish balls are freshly made and are chewy and chewy. The soup is obviously cooked with fish bones and fish heads. It has a light texture and is delicious. The most important thing is that the fish balls are filled with juicy meat fillings. Every time you eat them,

One bite is a great enjoyment.

And after eating two very strong-tasting dishes, stewed fish and boiled fish, eating this bowl of fish ball soup only made me feel that the taste was even more delicious.

The judges nodded one after another to express their approval of the fish ball soup.

Soon, the three dishes were tasted, and the judges announced the results of today's second round of competition.

"The ones who advance to tomorrow's competition are Chef Chen from the Eight Immortals House and Chef Zheng from the Juweizhai. The others will be eliminated!"

As soon as the words fell, Chef Fang was dumbfounded and asked hurriedly, "Today, instead of five advancing to three, two people were given up. Logically speaking, all three of us can advance, why was I eliminated?"

One of the judges was Sun Yuchu from the palace. Hearing this, he curled his lips and said, "Is it because you have such thoughts that you don't take this competition to heart? You actually forgot all about the original rules of the competition?"

"This competition requires fish and pork, and the cooking method is stew. Let's not mention that you can't see the pork inside. Even the method is boiling, not stewing, so it really can't be considered qualified." Someone on the side agreed.

Chef Fang was speechless immediately, and even slapped himself on the forehead, his face full of annoyance.

What a sin!

At this juncture, I actually stumbled!

Chef Fang was eliminated. Tomorrow, only Zheng Mingyuan and Chen Guiming will compete in the third round. It's really time for a showdown.

Everyone was talking a lot about this.

"Who do you think will win the first place tomorrow?"

"If it were left to chance in the past, I would have definitely guessed Chef Chen from the Eight Immortals House, but after the competition over the past few days, I think Chef Zheng is very likely."

"I also think that Chef Zheng has performed well every time and will surely amaze everyone in tomorrow's competition."

"yes……"

Chen Guiming gritted his teeth when he heard such comments.

Zheng Mingyuan wins the first place?

How virtuous and capable he is!

But just as those people discussed, the dishes Zheng Mingyuan cooked these few times were extremely good.

Take today's dish as an example. When it comes to cooking with fish and pork, he only thought of stewing fish with pork, but Zheng Mingyuan was able to open his mind and make stuffed fish balls.

Not to be underestimated!

Tomorrow's competition...
Chapter completed!
