Almighty substitute teacher

Chapter 304 Legend has it that there is a beggar Hong Qigong
"Oh? Why do you want to make lamb skewers?"

Yang Zhengdong looked at Chen Jiahui and asked with a smile.

"Variousness is elegant, right? Mutton skewers seem simple, but they are extremely delicious and have a unique flavor. They will definitely be well received by the judges!"

Chen Jiahui replied naturally.

"Well, what you said is good, but the mutton skewers are relatively dry, and Hong Kong Island is hot and humid, and these judges are older, let's change it, there are a lot of grilled food, let's do something else this time !"

"Then how about making roast duck? You are good at roast duck!"

Chen Jiahui was by his side to help out with ideas.

"Forget it, didn't you see that Mr. Shen also chose ducks? I won't repeat it to them!"

Yang Zhengdong looked at Fatty Guo carrying a duck and followed Mr. Shen, and he refused in a low voice.

"How about charcoal grilling the green dragon?"

"This was used last time, we won't follow others, we will be laughed at!"

"The roast pigeon?"

"Then Xianheng has already selected the pigeons?"

"Oysters?"

"The scallops and oysters chosen by Zhou Ji are no different!"

"You can't roast suckling pig, can you?"

"Didn't Yuehai take the suckling pig away?"

"Then what shall we do?"

"Just do this!"

Yang Zhengdong reached out and took the pullet, looked at it and nodded in satisfaction, and said to Chen Jiahui with a smile.

"Chicken? Do you want roasted chicken? But roasted chicken is not as crispy and delicious as duck?"

Chen Jiahui asked in a low voice while looking at Yang Zhengdong who was holding the little hen and looking at it.

"Then let's see how it's baked. Have you forgotten what I taught you? There are thousands of ingredients and ever-changing recipes. This time, I'll teach you another famous dish—【Beggar's Chicken】!"

Yang Zhengdong smiled and put the chicken in the basket in his hand, and went to choose other ingredients with a smile.

"Beggar chicken? The chicken that beggars eat? Shouldn't that beggar cook do it?"

Chen Jiahui muttered something in a low voice, and hurriedly followed.

After Yang Zhengdong selected the ingredients, he returned to the operating table, and explained the method to Chen Jiahui's master and apprentice while doing it.

In fact, in this competition, with Chen Jiahui and Lu Tianshan as assistants, there is really nothing to do, and Yang Zhengdong basically takes care of everything.

All they need to do is to listen carefully and watch carefully.

Prepare sauce, filling spices, and mud. That’s right, Yang Zhengdong is kneading noodles in the way of mud. After all, it’s not easy to get mud on site now, so he can only use dough instead, wrap it up and put it in the oven.

It's a pity that this kind of competition cannot use charcoal fire, otherwise the taste will be better.

"Teacher, is this all right?"

Chen Jiahui watched Yang Zhengdong sit down, and asked in a low voice.

"Yeah, just wait until it's cooked!"

Yang Zhengdong replied as a matter of course.

"Oh fine!"

Chen Jiahui looked at the other hotels, which were baking all kinds of ingredients in full swing, and nodded in agreement in a low voice.

Then he and Lu Tianshan went to guard the oven, he was very worried about this beggar chicken.

Mainly because it is too simple to make.

The most complicated thing should be the sauce, but compared to the sauces of roast suckling pig and roast duck, it can be regarded as very simple.

"Okay, it's time!"

When the bell rang, Yang Zhengdong had already taken out the dried dough from the fire, and put it on the counter to dry. It is best to open it when it is eaten.

"Starting from Channel [-], Guangdong Hotel's work is [Roasted Suckling Pig in Honey Sauce], all the judges are welcome to taste and comment!"

A roasted golden suckling pig was separated. The judges tasted it, then looked at each other, and shook their heads indistinctly.

Sure enough, when commenting, the main judge bluntly said that there was a problem with the selection of the hotel in Guangdong. This time was not enough to reflect the essence of the roast suckling pig. The old chef in Guangdong could not bear the pressure.

Zhou Haiyang of Zhou Ji made [charcoal-grilled scallops], which looks good, at least much higher than the evaluation of Guangdong Hotel. Not surprisingly, Zhou Ji beef noodle competition is over this time, and the business will definitely usher in a small explosion .

Douglas is beef, and roasting is a specialty in western food. His grades are not bad, at least the No. 1 in the same level now. However, because Douglas is a western food, most people directly ignore his grades.

The main reason is that people participating in the competition are just going through the motions, and the impact of Western food is always relatively small.

Xianheng Hotel sent roasted pigeons. Yang Zhengdong didn't pay much attention to how Xianheng Hotel did it, but they got the name [Sanxian Suckling Pigeon], so there must be a saying.

"The three delicacies are roasted with the three delicacies from the world and the sea, together with the secret sauce. It is the secret of Xianheng Hotel. Please judge carefully!"

Zheng Ke introduced with a smug smile.

The judges nodded, and cut the little pigeon with chopsticks. Everyone looked at it and showed a look of sudden realization, then nodded and tasted the pigeon meat carefully.

"Yes, this dish is very creative! The belly of the pigeon is filled with crab meat. The aroma of the crab meat blends with the fresh and tender meat of the pigeon, making the pigeon meat more delicious. The crab meat is mixed with Changbai ginseng powder from Kanto With wild mushroom powder, the aroma of wild mushrooms is used to neutralize the bitterness of ginseng, which makes this dish extremely high in nutritional value, this dish is really good!"

The judges nodded and commented.

Zheng Ke couldn't close his mouth, and the final score was as high as 9.7 points. He seemed to have seen that the game was won.

"The current score of Xianheng Hotel is temporarily ranked first. The following is Tianrun Hotel's work [Secret Eight-Treasure Duck (Improved Version)], all judges are welcome to comment!"

The etiquette staff sent up a whole roast duck that seemed to be in the cold.

"I didn't expect to see Mr. Shen's eight-treasure duck again after so many years. What a blessing!"

The chief judge smiled and nodded to Mr. Shen on the stage.

"It's nothing, this is an improved version, please enjoy it!"

Old Shen said with a smile on the stage.

"This eight-treasure duck is amazing. You can see that there is no trace of heat coming out of the surface. It is actually sealed with a layer of fat. The inside is very hot. This is Tianrun's signature. Let's taste it together!"

The main judges tapped lightly with the tip of their chopsticks, and saw countless small cracks on the surface of the duck, which spread slowly, and finally scattered into a plate of duck meat. The judges carefully picked up the duck meat with their chopsticks and put it into their mouths. A look of enjoyment.

Yang Zhengdong also had a look of surprise, he didn't expect that Shen Lao's unique skill turned out to be this, it was really unexpected, this dish is definitely a famous dish handed down from generation to generation.

In the end, the judges did not hesitate to score, and directly awarded 9.9 points. One point short is a perfect score, and suppressed the complacent Zheng Ke.

Every time when I feel that the victory is close at hand, I find that I have been photographed by others. It is unbearable for ordinary people, let alone a person with Zheng Ke's mentality. Don't even think about the champion.

Yang Zhengdong's [Beggar's Chicken] was also brought up, and he knocked off the dough with a wooden mallet to reveal the lotus leaves wrapped in it. Yang Zhengdong took apart the lotus leaves with his own hands, and an intoxicating fragrance filled the banquet hall of the competition.

"Little friend, why is this dish called Beggar's Chicken? Can you explain to us?"

The main judge looked like Yang Zhengdong and asked with interest.

"Of course, this dish originated in the south of the Yangtze River. Legend has it that in the early Southern Song Dynasty, there was a god beggar Hong Qigong who loved chicken the most in his life. This god beggar once found a chicken, but suffered from lack of cooking utensils. But The gluttons were on the rise, and the conditions were limited. He really couldn't wait to look for cooking utensils, so he twisted the neck of the chicken, took out the internal organs, filled the chicken wrap with the spices he could find, and brought Wrap the feathers with mud and put them in the fire to roast. When the mud dries up, he breaks the mud, and the chicken feathers fall off, leaving only the delicious and fragrant chicken. Come on, but my method has also been improved!"

Yang Zhengdong smiled and explained the origin of Beggar Chicken.

But this explanation is a magic reform.

And if you use Hong Qigong directly, you are a beggar anyway.

"Not bad, it smells very appetizing, I will taste it carefully!"

The main judges greeted all the judges to start tasting, and everyone nodded their heads, full of praise for the taste of this chicken.

Although Yang Zhengdong said that this dish existed in the Southern Song Dynasty, everyone has been immersed in the dish for a long time, and they have never heard of the name of Beggar Chicken before.

Guess that [-]% of it was fabricated by this young man.

It's just that people say it's not original, and they can't make corrections. Improvement is also innovation, and there is not much difference.

"This [Beggar Chicken] is similar to Mr. Shen's [Secret Eight-Treasure Duck], and it is more similar to [Paoyu], one of the [Eight Treasures] of the Zhou Dynasty. It is delicious and rotten in the mouth. It’s also a rare and good dish. It’s just that although the concept is ingenious, it’s slightly inferior to the eight-treasure duck in appearance, so this dish should be No.2 in this round!”

The main judge and several judges decided on the ranking of this round after discussion.

Yang Zhengdong didn't really care if he was number one, but he was a little bit relieved to see Zheng Ke wanting to eat people.

Looking forward to it, it turned out to be the third one. I wonder if Zheng Ke's blood vessels will burst?
But the beggar chef obviously didn't care very much, and he was still yawning boredly on the stage, which can be regarded as a wonderful person.

"The rankings of this round of competition have come out. Tianrun's [Secret Babao Duck (Revised)] ranked first, Honglou's [Beggar Chicken] ranked second, and Xianheng Hotel's [Sanxian Suckling Pigeon] ranked first. In the third place, we will enter our ultimate showdown. So what is the topic of this round? Let's watch together again"

The big screen slowly closed, and the topic of the third round appeared on the screen again, still in big characters.

"Wow, there is such a topic. Some people read it this time. The topic of the third round is [Soup]! It turned out to be soup. This topic has not appeared for almost ten years. People in Hong Kong Island are famous for their love of soup. , then let’s see who cooks the best soup! It’s still 10 minutes to choose the ingredients, and the competition time is 100 minutes, please show your cooking skills to the fullest!”

The host of ceremonies shouted passionately, and the audience he led was also excited.

"Can the teacher? That soup."
