I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Holding the cabbage in the palm of your hand, piously and carefully squeeze the water out of the cabbage.

Then take out some broth from the urn, pour it into a sea bowl, then immerse the whole cabbage in the broth, seal the mouth of the bowl with a saucer, put it in a steamer, and steam it over high heat for a while.

It doesn't need to be steamed for too long. After the cabbage is blanched in water, it is in a broken state.

The reason for steaming.

It is through heating to promote the movement between molecules, so that the inside of the cabbage is fully soaked in the taste of the broth - referred to as "taste".

After steaming, filter out the cabbage. As for the broth used for steaming cabbage, it has been contaminated by cabbage, it is not clean, and cannot be used any more.

at this time.

The cook of Mingyue Building poured the soup from the pot into the ceramic bowl, turned around to look at Yin Xuan, and said in a harsh voice, "Hey, that man, you've been dawdling, have you finished the dishes?"

Yin Xuan nodded: "Of course."

In the shed, Li Lizhi stood up, followed Zhou Xiaosan's guidance, and bounced up to the third platform.

The scholar who first introduced the competition stood up again.

He looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "After a long morning of cooking, both restaurants have made their final dishes."

"The next step is the most important judging process."

As he spoke, he glanced at the seven people.

Except for Wu Youdao, who he knew, the other six people looked like they were either rich or noble.

Nobles don't want to show their faces.

Introduction is impossible.

The scholar glanced at Duan Guan, took a deep breath, and continued: "Maybe you don't know the other nobles, but I think most of you have heard of Duan Guan, the son of Duke Fan, and Duan Xiaolang. .”

"He is a gourmand in the Tang Dynasty, and he eats delicacies from mountains and seas all over the world, so his presence is enough to prove the ability and fairness of the judges this time."

Was introduced by such a pass.

Duan Guan didn't feel ashamed at all, and even stood up, beckoning to the crowd cheerfully.

In the shed, Duan Zhixuan's face turned green.

Cheng Yaojin and the others had a strange air of yin and yang.

"Fan Guogong, you gave birth to a good son."

"After today, I'm afraid that the entire Chang'an City will look up to Duke Fan's majesty!"

Duan Zhixuan gritted his teeth and stared at his son coldly.

Is it an honor to show such a face?
Looks like you are very capable, right?

It seems that I haven't beaten my son for a long time, three days, or four days?
No fight.

Duan Guan didn't know what kind of ending he would usher in at all, and he was still waving happily to greet the crowd.

The two brought the food to their table.

The seven of them first set their sights on the dishes of Mingyue Tower—Yin Xuan's dishes were caught by a sea bowl, and they couldn't see the real appearance.

"Shopkeeper, let someone come first?" The cook of Mingyue Tower raised an eyebrow at Yin Xuan and asked.

Yin Xuan nodded.

The chef of Mingyuelou pushed forward his dishes and proudly introduced them: "This is my masterpiece in boiled dishes, sheep soup with Persian grass."

The so-called "Persian grass" is spinach.

A few years ago, as a tribute from Persia to Datang, even if Mingyue Tower is the best restaurant in Chang'an City, it is not easy to get this special vegetable.

During this period of time, the shopkeeper of Mingyue Tower begged his grandpa to tell his grandma, so he bought half a catty of spinach from a noble family.

In the white mutton soup, a few emerald green spinach loomed faintly.

The aroma is tangy.

This made the index fingers of the seven people twitch. Gao Tie was docile and obedient, and served each of them a bowl with a piece of spinach.

They first took a sip of the soup.

The nourishing and mellow taste of the lamb soup poured into the mouth, and it immediately turned into a raging river, the Yellow River!Galloping and screaming, the sheep are galloping with the boiling yellow soup.

The heart seems to be boiling together.

They put down their bowls and looked at the bowl of soup in their hands suspiciously. It was obviously a nourishing soup, but why did it bring such a violent feeling to themselves?

The chef of Mingyuelou looked at their expressions and was satisfied.

He glanced at his stove calmly.

In addition to hawthorn, I also added pepper to the mutton soup, which is why this soup brings such hot power.

Of course, this is the trick, of course he won't say it.

Li Lizhi smacked her lips.

The soup was delicious, and she also felt the power, but...it didn't impress her very much. She had eaten this kind of soup in Tongfu restaurant.

Although I can't tell what it is, the half river setting sun and half river red have this kind of taste, and the chicken soup also has this kind of taste.

Pick up the chopsticks and pick up the spinach.

The flavor of spinach is very strong, but for some reason, the tip of their tongues is still occupied by the lamb soup, and the group of mighty and magnificent sheep are galloping through the billowing dust.

But all in all delicious.

The seven people finished the soup in their hands, and then set their eyes on the dishes that Yin Xuan had hidden tightly.

"Shopkeeper, what did you cook?" Duan Guan asked curiously.

This dish in Mingyuelou can be compared to any dish in Tongfu Restaurant - but he knows very well that one is a delicate work, and it is difficult for this dish to appear on the menu of Mingyuelou.

As for the dishes in Tongfu Restaurant, Yin Xuan produced them with energy.

So he is looking forward to what Yin Xuan's meticulous work will show.

Yin Xuan smiled slightly and opened the bowl.

Looking at the things on the plate, they couldn't help but be taken aback.

For a standing cabbage, there are only cabbage ganglia left around the outside, not even the leaves.

"Is this your dish?" A person frowned slightly, with a bad tone.

Although it is a cooking competition, no matter what other people do, they, the judges, should eat the food, but just a piece of cabbage, isn't it too perfunctory?

Yin Xuan shook his head, didn't speak, just picked up the pot beside his hand with a smile.

Point the mouth of the bottle at the cabbage, and slowly pour out the broth.

The tea-colored clear soup, like mountain spring water, falls precisely on the center of the cabbage.

They looked at this scene in bewilderment.

Just pouring the soup now?

But before they raised their doubts, they were surprised to find that the cabbage moved!

Like a lotus flower blooming and falling, the leaves unfold petal by petal.

A faint fragrance slowly drifted out as the white lotus flower stretched out, far less rich than the mutton soup next to it, but this faint fragrance actually overwhelmed the strong fragrance and poured into their noses inside.

"What's the name of this dish?" A person asked curiously with eyes full of shock.

Yin Xuan did not answer.

He just spread his hands and said softly: "Everyone, please taste it."
