Chapter 117 Cooking Competition (3)

Jiangbian agreed with the review experts, but he was also a little confused. If there was only emotion in the dish, no color, fragrance and smell, could he be qualified to advance directly? In addition, whether this is integrated with emotion, what kind of emotion is integrated, how can we judge?

The riverside did not see the reviewers' expressions when they tasted the dishes. Whoever advanced and whoever did not advance had no impact on the riverside. He just liked to watch the excitement.

There is not much fun to watch in Banshan Village. When I was in Banshan Village, I didn’t even watch the party by the river because there was no TV at home and it was impossible to go to other people’s homes. Therefore, every time during the Chinese New Year, I can only listen to other people’s homes counting 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 at home.

Even in Shanmen Town, there are rare times when there are such lively events. There are so many people in this city. There are so many people who hold a cooking competition, and there are more people coming to Shanmen Town to go to the market for the New Year.

The riverside was struggling to move forward among the crowd.

When Li Yueji walked out of the venue, she kept looking for the familiar figure among the crowd, but there were crowds of people everywhere, where could she find another person?

"Why do you look so ignorant?" Xiao Yalin asked, "Is that person so important to you? Is it your first love?"

Li Yueji shook her head. Facing Xiao Yalin's joke, Li Yueji had no intention of responding. What she was most concerned about was to find the familiar figure again.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Xiao Yalin quickly grabbed Li Yueji, "This "beggar chicken" is a bit interesting, let's stop and take a look."

The famous dish of Qiantang is beggar chicken, which uses Xiaoshan Ben Chicken. First wrap the lotus leaves around the chicken, then wrap the lotus leaves heavily in the wine jar mud, and "decorate" them like a large piece of mud, and then put them in the fire to simmer and roast them.

This wine jar mud is a bit particular. It is a thick layer of seal on the rice wine jar. After retrieving the jar mud, you need to add wine lees, rice husks and other substances in proportion to finally use it to wrap the chicken.

Since the amount of wine jars from the winery is limited and must not be reused, many restaurants omit this step directly, and some large hotels in Qiantang can only be supplied in limited quantities every day.

This man used a very traditional method to make beggar chicken. In order to make the cooking process more exciting, he specially added a seasoning process. It seemed that he performed very hard, but in fact the highlight was in the hottest.

Because it is covered with a thick layer of soil, the simmering time is not short. In order to make diners truly realize the uniqueness of traditional ancient cooking.

The contestant also designed a special link to let the beggar chicken wrapped in mud be served directly like dinosaur eggs, and the "Dangdang" three-hammer.

In front of the guest, smashed the mud eggs with a small hammer. A scent of chicken, lotus leaves and soil suddenly spread out from the gaps of the mud eggs.

Then sprinkle the seasonings on the chicken and mix the aroma of the seasonings into the chicken with the residual heat on the chicken.

"Is this a beggar chicken?" Li Yueji asked.

Xiao Yalin nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's the beggar chicken. The beggar chicken mentioned in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is this. However, as a famous dish in Qiantang, the beggar chicken is a bit different from the beggar chicken in Jin Yong's novels, and it may be more particular. Look, the mud wrapped in beggar chicken is not ordinary mud, and it is made of yellow wine and wine. This yellow wine and wine mud is not so easy to find."

"It should taste very good, right?" Li Yueji asked, "This fragrance can be smelled so far."

Xiao Yalin said, "That's natural. First of all, this soil can be said to be the essence of beggar chicken. First, the sealing nature of the mud locks in the aroma of roasting chicken, and second, the fragrance of the soil itself can also penetrate into the chicken, which will relieve greasiness and refresh the body.

But nowadays, many beggar chickens eaten in restaurants either steam the chicken first, then wrap a lotus leaf and serve it on the table, or wrap a lotus leaf and then steam it. Whether it is the former or the latter, it is not qualified in the beggar chicken field.

This contestant not only strictly follows the traditional cooking methods of beggar chicken, but also uses high-quality rice wine and puree, and the beggar chicken produced naturally has a fragrance, which is definitely very good.

Xiao Yalin was right. After tasting a beggar chicken, the reviewer immediately exclaimed, "Thanks to Mr. Li, a contestant No. 10 for allowing me to re-savor the unique flavor of our famous Qiantang dish beggar chicken.

The audience present knew about the name of beggar chicken. However, there should be very few people who have truly tasted the authentic beggar chicken, especially the authentic Qiantang beggar chicken.

There are many famous dishes in Qiantang, and many people can list dozens of them, but they may not be able to make famous dishes in Qiantang according to the recipe.

As Qiantang cuisine becomes more and more famous, the generous Qiantang people have already made traditional Qiantang cuisine cooking methods into very clear standards, allowing more people who love food to enjoy themselves without Qiantang. In fact, it is not possible to cook authentic Qiantang famous dishes with standardized recipes.

The beggar chicken that Mr. Li showed us was cooked strictly according to the traditional beggar chicken process. Mr. Li's regulation was also very effective, making this dish show its unique flavor.

Therefore, this cooking performance was very perfect. My colleagues and I unanimously agreed to hand over our direct promotion to Mr. Li, hoping that in the final, we can see Mr. Li reappear the style of famous dishes in Qiantang again!"

Li Yueji is not as interested as Xiao Yalin. Even though he is a little interested in this beggar chicken, he still looks around many times during the whole process.

Unfortunately, I have never been able to find the riverside.

Jiangbian looked down all the way down. Those who came to participate in the competition had something unique in their hands. They looked very novel and were of great help to improve their cooking skills. Although Jiangbian was not interested in cooking, in order to deal with this cooking competition, Jiangbian still tried hard to improve his level.

If you have conditions that others cannot match, it makes no sense to lose to others in the cooking competition. Especially after meeting Yuan Wenguang, those who despise him should not make him too proud. This is the usual style of the riverside.

The Jiangbian thoughts that he originally wanted to deal with were greatly changed.

I looked at several places in a row in the riverside and gradually gained some experience of this cooking competition.

The reviewers seem to have a special preference for Qiantang famous dishes. Several contestants who directly advanced to the market all made Qiantang famous dishes. It is not ruled out that the Qiantang famous dishes made by these people are very outstanding, but some cooking associations also want to promote Qiantang famous dishes while taking advantage of the cooking competition.

Especially recently, some special programs on Qiantang TV are about famous dishes in Qiantang. There is a special topic called "Retrieve the famous dishes in Qiantang". This topic was jointly filmed by Qiantang Cooking Association and Qiantang TV.

When I was free in the riverside, I looked a little bit, which shows that the Qiantang Cooking Association attached great importance to the promotion of Qiantang famous dishes, so in this cooking competition, the contestants who cook Qiantang famous dishes were more respected.

Although Qiantang was not long after the riverside, under the influence of Liu Jiedong, I still have a certain understanding of the famous dishes in Qiantang. The famous dishes have a lot of fish flavor, including clear soup fish balls, West Lake vinegar fish, steamed anchovies, dried green fish, spring bamboo shoots, clams and crucian carp, fish head soup, shrimps and winter bamboo shoots, oil-swelled shrimps, etc.

The riverside felt that if I made a fuss among these famous dishes, I might achieve unexpected results. Some of these famous dishes were not something that others could do, such as steamed chicks. Others wanted to make this dish. Isn’t this wild chick so easy to find? But it is not difficult for the riverside. In the space by the river, several wild chicks have been raised. These chicks that have been raised in the space for a while may taste more delicious than wild chicks.

I looked up by the river and looked around. Just as I was about to sigh, I suddenly found a familiar beautiful figure in the distance.

"Li Yueji?" The riverside was a little confused, but when I wanted to look carefully, the other party was completely blocked by the bustling crowd.

"Impossible! Although I heard that she is also in Qiantang City, it will not be so easy to touch!" Jiangbian grabbed his head and continued to walk forward.

Li Yueji seemed to see that figure again, and it was not far away in front of it, but it was separated by an exhibition area. The handsome guy in this exhibition area was showing off his charming sword skills, which attracted everyone to watch.

When Li Yueji squeezed through the crowd, the onlookers suddenly exclaimed in unison. The indifferent chef waved two kitchen knives, then caught them lightly, and then flew with both knives, sprinkling a blade on the cutting board.

Li Yueji finally squeezed out of the crowd, but where could he find that familiar figure?

"Rose, rose, wait for me, don't walk so fast!" Xiao Yalin walked in the crowd with difficulty.

Li Yueji looked around disappointed, and there were bustling crowds everywhere, but there was no figure he was looking for.

The riverside walked out of the guild hall, and Yan Yuan had already been waiting at the door.

"How is it? Do you see some tricks?" Yan Yuan asked.

Jiangbian smiled slightly, "If I can see some tricks at this point, then I will be the chef god!"

"You are, you must be! I'm famous to point at you and expand the fish flavor restaurant!" Yan Yuan said with a smile.
