The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

In the lobby of Mingyue Tower, the chefs quickly set up three large round tables. Each round table has a title on the corner of the table on the west side. Those titles are the themes of the chefs' respective yellow-lipped fish feasts.

Although the rules of the competition were to end at six o'clock in the evening, that was the cut-off time, and the serving of dishes definitely couldn't start at six o'clock.

So after the tables in the lobby are set up, the kitchen has started serving dishes one after another.

The little buddy in charge of delivering the dishes has the demeanor of a waiter boy. He sings the names of the dishes while serving the dishes, with a particularly rhythmic voice.

"Master Bao serves dishes, old hot pot with pickled cabbage, white meat, yellow lip fish soup."

"Master Zou serves dishes, the moonlight in the lotus pond."

"Master George serves the dish, grilled yellow-lipped fish fillet with avocado mayonnaise sauce."

"Master Bao serves dishes, and the pot is filled with yellow-lipped fish."

"Master Zou serves the dishes, and the Toad Palace wins the laurel."

"Master George's dishes are delicious, braised yellow-lipped cod liver."

"Master Bao serves dishes, fish skin jelly with soy sauce."

"Master Zou serves food, but the concubine is drunk."

"Master George serves dishes, fried fish scales with special tomato sauce."

...........

The kitchen began to serve food in an orderly manner, and the people who were watching on the second and third floors were now gathered on the first floor.

Each of these people holds a pair of bowls and chopsticks, which will be used when everyone has a fish feast, but their relatives and friends can only eat, and the right to score is still in the hands of the guys on the third floor.

In the last round of Doucai, people with seniority or qualifications to speak from Chef Bao’s side came. Master Zou and Aunt Gu Li have no right to score because they are related to Chef Bao, Zou Kai and George. , the rest, including Mr. Zou and Mr. Qi, have a total of [-] people who are eligible to score.

In addition to them, there are two other people present who have the right to vote and score. They are Comrade Lao Xiao, the teaching director with the title of "Old Pea Xiao", and the main course provider as a representative of the masses, from the Yellow Lipped Fish Conservation and Breeding Center. That Director Qiu.

Each of these people holds a vote in their hands. When the yellow-lipped fish feast starts, everyone can eat and drink as much as they like. According to the standard, vote in their hands for the table of fish feast that they are most satisfied with.

There are sixteen people and sixteen judges, each of whom has only one vote, and only one chance to vote.

After the fish feast is over, the fish feast made by the chef gets the most votes, and whichever chef is the winner of this competition.

The dishes of the chefs were served on the table one after another. As the table was gradually filled, the distinctive personal styles of the chefs were also displayed in front of everyone.

Chef Bao's knife skills and pyrotechnics are excellent. Although the dishes are simple, the basic skills are solid and firm, just like the palace houses in the north. The solid foundation and thick walls, although the appearance is simple and unpretentious, can stand for thousands of years without any wind and rain. fall.

Zou Kai’s side is exactly the opposite of Baoyan’s. The yellow-lipped fish banquet with the theme of national beauty and heavenly fragrance uses more than a dozen kinds of edible flowers. In addition, there are five or six kinds of flower products, such as flower sauce and flower water. s things.

Using these ingredients, Zou Kai's yellow-lipped fish banquet is really delicious after it is made. Whether it is a dish or a plate, it is beautiful. While showing off his knife skills, he also made the banquet a "peerless one" beautiful woman'.

On the side of the foreign chef George, the dishes seem quite satisfactory. The chef, who doesn't know much about the rules of Chinese banquets, prepared the noodles according to the basic requirements of French cuisine.

Although the dishes he cooks are a combination of Chinese and Western, but this Chinese is really not very good, so that he can't use Chinese to accurately describe the name of his dishes, and the foreign languages ​​he speaks, the little buddies who serve the dishes listen I don't understand, when I reported the name of the dish at the end, there was the situation of what to serve with the main dish just now.

New dishes were still being brought to the table one after another. The experts looked at the doorway, while the laymen joined in the fun. The atmosphere in the lobby gradually became warmer.

Time passed by little by little, and the end time announced in advance was getting closer and closer, and the chefs' respective fish feast dishes also reached the last one.

"Master Bao's last dish is fresh fish and sheep."

"Master Zou's last dish is fish balls with floral sauce."

"Master George's last dish is rose fish milk heart."

After all the dishes were served, the chefs who had spent the whole day in the kitchen finally came out.

They all seemed to be in high spirits, and each of them was very straight when they came out.

As the main person in charge of Doucai this time, Mr. Qi has been keeping an eye on the time. When the time on his mobile phone was 18:00 Beijing time, he raised his hand and shouted: "It's time."

When the time came, the stove was sealed off and the kitchen was closed. Someone came up to count the number of dishes, and after confirming that they were correct, Mr. Zou signaled the three disciples to stand next to their respective fish feasts.

"You have all completed your yellow-lipped fish feast within the specified time, now let's introduce your dishes, um, just follow the order of the lottery."

Hearing this, Zou Kai pointed to his colorful fish banquet and said: "My theme is the national beauty and heavenly fragrance, so when choosing the side dishes, I boldly chose flowers for the dishes. The sweetness of the flowers is used to set off the freshness of the fish. Petals and stamens are used to decorate the surface of the plate, and the beauty and elegance of the national beauty and heavenly fragrance are fully displayed with flowers."

The fish feast he made is indeed as he said, beautiful and colorful. In terms of scoring standards, the two things he made are the most brilliant.

The second person who introduced his fish feast was George, a foreign chef. Looking at his fish feast, he kept shaking his head at the little brother who delivered the food, and then looked at Zou Kai for help.

Knowing what the other party wanted to say, Zou Kai said, "George is not very good at Chinese, so the names he came up with were not the ones he mentioned when he reported the names of the dishes. The soup dish for the starter was named Mermaid Princess, and the pan-fried fish liver for the side dish The name of the sauce that goes with it is Frog Prince, and the names of the subsequent dishes are Cinderella, Snow White, and..., um, in short, it uses fairy tales to confirm his theme."

Zou Kai did not translate the name of the last dish made with fish meat, fresh milk and rose petals.

Hesitating that George spoke too fast and his voice was not loud. A guy like Zhou Quan who has a certain level of English skills couldn’t understand what that guy said. He just vaguely saw that he was listening to Zou Kai’s introduction with a blank face. Chef Bao raised his eyebrows.

Seeing that Zou Kai cleared his throat and stopped talking, Chef Bao naturally took over the topic and said, "My theme is homecoming, so all the dishes from my hometown are used in this banquet except for the main dish, yellow lip fish. Specialties. This is what I miss the most when I am abroad, seeing them is like seeing my own hometown, so this is homecoming.”

Seeing that the introduction of the three disciples and grandchildren was finished, Mr. Zou took the lead to move the chopsticks first, and the rest of the people who couldn't bear it for a long time immediately followed after seeing this.

Seeing this, the chefs moved out of the way, and Zou Kai, who was walking in the front, couldn't help but look back. He was thinking about what Bao Yan said to himself last night, whether he would be in this fight keep it?
