Chapter 58 Fried and stuffed turtledove? The first day of the food competition

Sai Xishi took off the turtle dove and put it aside. He did not rush to deal with the turtle dove, but first prepared the afternoon soup dumplings, poured flour and old noodles into the basin, added water, kneaded them into the dough, and then placed them in the basin for fermentation.

The weather is hot and the side fermentes very quickly. By noon, you should be able to make buns.

After giving the noodles, Sai Xishi cut the hairy turtledove in half along the back bone, dig out the flesh, cut off the head and claws, remove the spine with a sharp knife, chop off the legs, put it on the chopping board, slap flat with a knife, and then use the blade to slap the mesh on the flesh and apply starch.

"Today, the bones were very neat and clear." Li Luotang praised with a smile.

I finally haven't practiced these days.

Sai Xishi took out the washed lean pork leg meat, chopped it into meat paste, added salt, egg white and water, mixed into filling, and spread it on the dove meat.

Set a pan to cook oil and fry the turtle doves. Fry for a short while, turn over, fry for a short while, add scallion slices, frosting, spicy oil, Shaoxi wine, soy sauce and water. After cooking the turtle doves, cut them into four pieces, and place them on the plate. It looks like a whole turtle dove, then pour on the scorched marinade and cook with sesame oil.

"Okay, Brother Da Niu, bring the dishes over." Sai Xishi said.

Lu Daniu brought the dishes to the judges.

Sai Xishi's dish is the third dish served. The first dish is made by a disciple of a chef in the 25th shed: diced chicken sauce.

This can be regarded as a quick-shou dish, and the heat is relatively high. The heat-dried sauce is easy to make it bitter, and the heat-dried sauce cannot be hung on the meat.

After judging, the color is rosy and shiny. The highest score for ten judges is nine points and the lowest score is seven points.

Fragrance: The sauce has a strong aroma, with a highest score of eight points and a lowest score of six points.

Taste: Salty and sweet, crispy and delicious. The highest rating is nine points and the lowest rating is six points.

"The first dish is fried chicken with sauce, the average score of three items: 62 points." The gong-beating man said loudly.

The second dish is made by the chef in the 38th shed: jade chicken legs.

This is a pictographic dish made of chicken breast and fat meat, cooked ham meat, water-haired mushrooms, etc.

Color: light green, with the highest score of eight points and the lowest score of five points.

Fragrance: The aroma of fried, the highest is seven points and the lowest is five points.

Taste: soft, tender, fragrant, smooth and palatable; the highest score is nine points and the lowest score is seven points.

Listening to the man's repost, Li Luotang said, "So the most important thing about this dish is that it tastes good."

Tian Shiqi and Tang Chenxiao agreed and said: "Indeed."

The average score of three items: fifty-nine points.

Like the chef in front of Lu Daniu, he reported loudly: "Under Master Miaoshen, the first dish of the chef in the third shed, fried turtle dove, was the first dish of the chef in the third shed."

The dish is placed in front of the judge, and the color is observed, the taste is smelled, and the taste is tasted.

Color: The color is red and bright, with the highest rating of nine points and the lowest 6 points.

Fragrance: A faint smell of wine mixed with the aroma of sauce, with a highest score of eight points and a lowest score of seven points.

Taste: Eat two meats together, it is oily and fresh. The highest rating is 10 and the lowest rating is 8.

The judge who beat the 10th is praised: "The dove is marinated with five flavors and is very delicious. This fried turtle dove is fresh and delicious, comparable to the flying dragon meat."

Three average scores: sixty-nine points.

"I wonder how this score is?" Li Luotang asked.

Ren Yuge, who was informed, sat on the judging table and could not answer her question.

Tang Chenxiao said: "It should be considered a good score."

The chefs in other sheds delivered the first dish one after another. After rating, Sai Xishi's score was temporarily ranked third, and the two dishes before her were: butterfly eel and green fruit chicken.

Next was the second dish, and the fifth one from Sai Xishi's vinegar-slip fish fillet was delivered.

The second dish in the 25th shed was delivered the fourth one. This dish is obviously his specialty: sweet and sour three-silk fish rolls.

This is a dish made of fresh mandarin fish. Cut the fish into thin slices, cut the fish head and tail completely, put it in the slice after the oil, put the fish fillets in the paste, roll it up, put it in the oil pan, fry it out, and then it is neatly placed between the fish head and tail, which looks like a whole fish.

Color: golden.

Fragrance: mellow.

Taste: crispy and soft.

This dish scored a high score, 71 points.

Sai Xishi's dish was also fish, but she was too nervous and didn't know the heat well. The fish fillets were a little burnt. Although the taste was pretty good, the average score of the three items was only 52 points.

With one plus the score of two dishes, she ranked twelfth.

Sai Xishi was a little frustrated when he saw this ranking; the younger brother has been practicing with her these days.

Ren Yuge came from the judges and saw this and comforted her, "Silly girl, I have only made two dishes on the first day. Why are you anxious? There are still small buns in the afternoon, that's the highlight. The more you sign, the higher the score, and the ranking will be up."

"I will work hard." Sai Xishi regained his confidence.

"It's noon, find a place to have lunch." Tian Shiqi looked at it all morning and was greedy for the whole morning. He urgently needed to find a place to satisfy his craving.

"Don't eat lunch, wait for the afternoon to eat Xiaolong Soup Bun." Li Luotang said. After discussing again, the pasta was decided for Xiaolong Soup Bun. Although there was one more word than Xiaolong Bao, the taste was better than Xiaolong Bao.

The reason why I can make Xiaolong Soup Buns is thanks to Tian Shiqi, a friend of Xiao Mengchang, who is everywhere. Otherwise, I would not be able to find ice cubes to make pork jelly, so I would not be able to make Xiaolong Soup Buns.

Tian Shiqi said with a bitter face: "Tangtang, it's very uncomfortable to be hungry."

"Don't be hungry, it's going to start soon. Let's go buy bamboo sticks first." Ren Yuge said with a smile.

There are quite a lot of people buying bamboo sticks, and three cents are too cheap; if you spend three cents, you can eat something that you usually need to eat for more than ten cents, which is really cost-effective.

The annual food competition is not only a feast for the chefs, but also a feast for the people.

When a few people went to buy bamboo sticks, Sai Xishi went back to the shed to chop the meat filling. The noodles were already prepared and now they could be used. First, knead the air from the dough, put it back into the basin, cover it with gauze, and wake it up again.

While waking up the noodles, Sai Xishi began to chop the meat filling. In the filling, an appropriate amount of salt and water, soy sauce, ginger paste, white pepper, white sesame oil, chopped green onion and cooked white sesame seeds were added.

Take chopsticks, mix the ingredients and put them aside. Sai Xishi took the dough and began to knead it into long strips, and tied it into small doses of about the same size. He dunked his hands with sesame oil, and pressed the dough into pieces with his palms.

Sai Xishi prepared ten cages and put them on the stove to steam them. During the steaming of buns, she cooked a large pot of egg skin soup and made a large bowl of tender shredded ginger dipping sauce.

"You can enter the venue." With the sound of gongs, the red line opened, and the people who had been waiting for a long time rushed in.

"Little girl, what are you selling?" Tian Shiqi pretended not to know Sai Xishi.

Sai Xishi replied with a smile: "Xiaolong soup dumplings, how many cages do you want?"

"Five cages first." Tian Shiqi greeted Li Luotang and the other two, "Sit down and eat, I'll treat you."

"Okay." Sai Xishi lifted the cover and looked at it. The buns were steamed. He took three cages and placed them on the table. He took away the three bamboo sticks handed to Tian Shiqi. "A few young men want to drink egg skin soup or to dip them in tender shredded ginger?"

"I want to drink soup." Li Luotang said.

Tian Shiqi and the other two asked for a small plate of dipping sauce.
