Mr. Minguo's kitchen

On the competition stage, the mandarin fish on the black iron plate was roasted by the hot tongue of fire—because there was no tin foil, the body of the fish was wrapped in oiled paper from a bakery. The board was unscathed.

The marinated mandarin fish that was marinated earlier will appear in the frying pan at this time, put it into the pan and cook it, then wrap it tightly with oil paper, and put it on the hot iron plate.Mandarin fish is known as "dragon meat in water" and is a famous fish in China. What is surprising is that Lin Weirui uses the very western-style "teppanyaki" cooking method.

This is the secret method of a colleague he had dealt with in his previous life. It can be said that today's dishes are all inspired by this colleague. In the 21st century, Huaguo has become a powerful country in the world. Naturally, in terms of food, it also pays attention to communication with overseas countries and keeps pace with the times. This colleague is famous for his combination of Chinese and Western cuisine. The oriental master chef has suddenly emerged, and he can be regarded as Huaguo's No.1 in the international culinary world.

The mandarin fish cooked through two processes gradually emits a mouth-watering rich aroma on the iron plate. The fish meat is forced out of tender juice by the high temperature, mixed with oil dripping down the iron plate, and a golden flame suddenly rises. !

The pure beauty of the fresh fish and the unique slightly burnt taste of the iron plate make a simple braised mandarin fish into a delicacy, which is worth a hundred times.The sound of swallowing saliva can be heard all around.

The knife skills competition or vegetable dishes just now were not very flavorful dishes, but when Lin Weirui's grilled mandarin fish was served on a iron plate, the huge arena was filled with this fragrance.As a result, people found out bitterly that although it was not time for meal, and it was not long after breakfast, their stomachs were singing empty plans again, and one city was higher than the other.It can be described as wanting to die.

Not to be outdone, the opposite side started cooking big dishes, sea cucumber, abalone, and prawns together, and the aroma became stronger immediately.Some spectators were hungry, so they all called the waiters to add some small snacks to pad their stomachs. They were also aroused with great interest. You can see it but you can't eat it, but it's a "full" eye feast.

In July, the season of crab fat and chrysanthemum is approaching, and the crabs are not small at this time.So many dishes in the front are a combination of Chinese and Western dishes, but at a banquet in Huaguo, how can there be no delicacy that only belongs to Huaguo?

The one-foot-long hairy crabs fished from the sea are full of meat and fat. They are directly steamed and then removed the shells to dig out the meat. The large orange crab roe makes people look at the index finger!But don't worry, steamed hairy crabs are delicious, but they are too monotonous.

In Lin Weirui's hand, a small sharp knife dazzled people's eyes. Those slender fingers with well-defined bones made a few cuts, and then peeled off the top of the palm-sized yellow orange, gouging out the flesh inside completely. , leaving only a little fruit juice, filled it with the excavated crab paste, covered it with the top of the orange just now, put it in a small pot, added fine wine, vinegar and other seasonings and steamed until cooked.

This dish has been recorded in the handed down masterpiece of food and drink "Shanjia Qinggong", but very few people can cook it.Firstly, due to incomplete records, there is no way to know the various seasonings, so how can we talk about restoration?Secondly, the book collectors are all aristocratic gentlemen, how many of them will show these ancient books to the cook at home?

At this moment, there are not many grains of sand left in the hourglass, and an hour and a half has passed quietly. The three dishes have been prepared, the dessert has been baked, and there is still one staple food left.Everyone in the audience looked at all kinds of weird and never-before-seen dishes, and they were addicted. Now they are all staring at Lin Weirui, to see what new tricks he can come up with.It's a pity, maybe it's "exhausted talent", he just made the most common assorted fried rice, although assorted fried rice is delicious, but it is too homely.Huixian Hall on the opposite side made shark fin casserole.

However, everyone didn't take it seriously, and soon, the reality slapped them hard.

Lin Weirui didn't specially buy some high-end ingredients, as if he was tired, I saw that he casually picked some leftover ingredients from cooking, scooped up a few spoonfuls of leftovers, and started frying rice. Come and relax, and turn off the fire in two or three strokes.

Everyone: This... Is this the end?

But the aroma that followed told them that the seemingly simple fried rice was actually the most unobtrusive.Xiao Bao waited for the young master to fill the plate, there was still some left in the pot, smelling the strange fragrance that filled the air, took a sip, and asked flatteringly: "Young master, is the leftover fried rice useless?"

Lin Weirui finished, was wiping soap to wash his hands, and said, "It's useless, eat when you're hungry, didn't you eat breakfast today? Don't think I didn't see it when I ate it just now."

Little Treasure chuckled, fearing that the young master would change his mind, he quickly took out the fried rice from the pot, dug out a big bowl by himself, and shared the rest with his juniors.It's really arrogant, they ate it before the judges started eating it.Huixiantang and other masters and apprentices on the opposite side sneered when they saw this.

Some disciples muttered: "A group of starving ghosts reincarnated. Isn't it just a bowl of fried rice, what about it?"

After waiting for a while, he will know whether it will happen or not.

The delicious food exuding aroma was brought to the judging table one by one. According to the rules, they had to explain why the dish they made was in line with the theme of "feast".

Duan Fangyuan made an oath, and he stood up first: "Huixiantang has always won a good reputation from diners with imitation dishes, and today I am presenting you with imitation dishes. Everyone knows that my master, Mr. Duan, was born in the Imperial Dining Room. This is the royal banquet dish under his guidance. It is carefully cooked with ingredients that are hard to find in the world, and it is the highest-level banquet dish..." He said that although everyone has never seen a royal banquet, they still don't know. Feeling serious, even the evaluation has risen.

"It turns out that this is the royal banquet. Chef Duan really lives up to his reputation. If he can eat a table in his lifetime, he will be able to show off to his ancestors in the future. He and the emperor still eat the same food hahahaha."

After Duan Fangyuan knew the topic, he prepared carefully for a long time, and even asked his old master to go out to guide him, so this meeting can be said to be full of ambition.

When it was Lin Weirui's turn, he looked at Duan Fangyuan, who was opposite him, and smiled softly, which can be said to be very provocative, "Today's banquet is a state banquet I made. What is a state banquet? It naturally demonstrates the prestige of the country and at the same time communicates overseas. The guests are happy."

It was only then that everyone recalled why the dishes he made today, except for the two authentic Chinese dishes of crab stuffed orange and mixed fried rice, were all Chinese and Western dishes.Wonderful, really wonderful!Since the warships of the Eagle Kingdom opened the country's gates more than 60 years ago, Huaguo is no longer closed to the outside world, and has also recognized its dream of being a kingdom of heaven. Naturally, this state banquet can no longer be dominated by me, but should keep pace with the times , with a more open attitude to welcome all directions.The state banquet mentioned by Lin Weirui is naturally of a higher quality than this pure royal banquet. In terms of the topic, Fenglai wins.

According to the order, the judges first served cold dishes. The pea yellow of Huixiantang is indeed a signature, and it has not lost its standard today. It is sweet and soft, and it melts in the mouth. The judges all nodded secretly.Try Fenglaiju's Buttercream again. As an appetizer, it is refreshing and delicious. Every vegetable and fruit is full of flavor, which is very appetizing.Despite the partiality of the judges, it cannot be denied that it is delicious.

But what is even more exciting is the dish below.A few were not firm, and before anyone could comment on it, they stretched their chopsticks to the iron plate to grill mandarin fish.Without him, it's so fragrant!

Remove the wrapped oil paper, the color of the fish is brilliant golden red, because of the protection of the oil paper, the moisture is fortunately kept to the maximum, and a piece of meat is eaten, so delicious and tender that it makes people suspect that they will snap their teeth. The method of cooking fish has never been done before. Everyone was attracted by this special flavor, and even the ants and sea cucumbers on the opposite side could not taste any flavor.

Stuffed oranges with crabs in a pot, at first glance it looks like a work of art, reminiscent of the image of new wine chrysanthemums in the golden autumn season, it is truly elegant.Dig a spoonful, the freshness of crab meat and the sweetness of orange meat blend, the orange meat removes the coldness of the crab, and the beautiful crab combines the over-sweetness of orange meat, which is both fragrant and fresh.Eating such an ancient delicacy, it seems that I have become a literati who appreciates chrysanthemums, cooks crabs and recites poems in the golden autumn season.

Lin Weirui only made three crab-stuffed oranges, so each judge got at most two big spoons, and everyone found it was gone after eating, but for the sake of superficiality, they still had to put down the bowl pretending not to care chopsticks.God knows, there is still unlicked juice in this orange!What a waste!

The people from the Food and Beverage Chamber of Commerce came back to their senses. Because of their prejudice and warnings from above, they had a preconceived dislike towards people. In fact, it was unreasonable. After all, they did have real materials.However, they have also really begun to be alert. If this kind of craftsmanship is allowed to settle in Beijing City one day, it will definitely break the existing restaurant pattern. These people are more or less behind the industry they support. Happy to see such a situation.

So they silently put down the chopsticks in their hands, and it was the turn of the staple food. Since it was ordinary fried rice, they didn't pay much attention to it. Many people just added a spoonful to taste it.I plan to save my stomach to try Huixiantang's casserole shark's fin.

However, when this spoonful of fried rice entered the mouth, everyone was stunned.

This is fried rice?The simplest fried rice, if this taste is the fried rice in their cognition, it can only be said that in the past few decades, the fried rice they ate was dregs!

Each grain of rice is completely independent, that is, the so-called distinct grains, without any sticky feeling. Every side of the rice grains seems to be in perfect contact with other stir-fried ingredients, leaving a lingering fragrance. It is obviously the most common practice, but it makes people People can't stop after eating.When the people who didn't care about it just wanted to serve some more, they found that the fried rice had been divided...

The spectators in the auditorium nervously waited for the result, but the judges on the stage were already out of their minds.In fact, they already had a result in their minds, but it was different from what they had originally imagined...

They muttered and discussed in their seats, and it was obvious that there was some small quarrel.

"Didn't we agree that Huixiantang will take the top spot? Why are there so many people who agree that Youfenglaiju is better?" Just now, they had already voted internally, but it turned out to be four to four A tie.

"Can you say without conscience that the craftsmanship of Duan Fangyuan from Huixiantang really surpasses that of Youfeng Laiju? Who followed me to grab fried rice just now?" Their style is like this one who spoke.

"This old Duan also showed his housekeeping skills today, although he is not very brilliant, but he still does not fall into the demeanor of his old master." He specially mentioned Master Duan Fangyuan, aiming to remind everyone present that Duan Fangyuan is from his own family.

"Feng Laiju's family has extraordinary craftsmanship and innovative dishes. Why don't you tell me? How many of the dishes he cooked today are things you've seen before?" Another person refuted.After all, the Chamber of Commerce is a place where many forces gather. Huixiantang's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it has robbed other people's interests. Naturally, some people feel dissatisfied.At this moment, I don't mind telling the truth, and I will attack Huixian Hall by the way.

After arguing endlessly, the middle-aged man who was the first to speak out gritted his teeth and said, "The first round has already been lost. If we don't win the second round, wouldn't it be a direct declaration that our hotel in Beiping City has completely lost to Lost to a foreign restaurant? Lost to a brat?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, just when several judges who voted for Youfeng Laiju were somewhat compromised and shaken, at this moment, the middle-aged man who was the first to stand up to speak for Youfeng Laiju suddenly said: "I heard that today's No. Someone told Xiao Duan about the second round of competition questions in advance?" This is something that everyone in the Chamber of Commerce knows well, and everyone doesn't understand what he is saying at this moment?

The middle-aged man smiled sarcastically, and continued: "Someone from above specially explained that this time the competition must be fair and fair. Tell me, if those masters know about this, what will they think?"

What would you think?Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials.They didn't think about it carefully before, but now that they think about it, they naturally realized that the little action they didn't think of before was actually shooting themselves in the foot.Not many people know about this, but definitely not many, if someone in the chamber of commerce leaked it, and it happened that Feng Laiju lost again this time, would the higher-ups think it was their fault?

"In my opinion, it's better to follow the trend and score fairly. In the future, we will still have to rely on this Mr. Lin."

"How do you say that?"

"This Mr. Lin is someone close to Marshal Fengtian Ye."

Everyone was horrified. In their eyes, this Marshal Ye was a vicious and powerful man!As a businessman, you are most afraid of getting involved in a lawsuit with such a person, because a dissatisfaction with him can destroy your family property that you have worked hard for most of your life.

Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce: Can't afford to be provoked!

So, when the spectators in the auditorium became impatient, the judges finally announced the results belatedly. Duan Fangyuan was full of confidence, but Lin Weirui became a little impatient. They only had one tongue and one mouth, but these people were chattering Distorted for most of the day.He also wanted to go back and change his clothes after the competition as soon as possible. The smell of oily smoke on his body really made people unhappy. Young Master Lin was in a very unhappy mood. Even when he heard that he had won, he didn't even show half a smile. Duan Fangyuan, who was pale, said "I've accepted", turned around and left.

Two wins in three rounds, this second round has been won, so naturally there is no need to compare.But under normal circumstances, in order to show friendship first and second, the winner will continue to compete, and let the opponent win a round, so that everyone looks good.

But Lin Weirui is not an ordinary person, he left after winning, waved his sleeves, and took away the unbelievable eyes of the judges and spectators.

Everyone came to their senses and went to see Duan Fangyuan, where is Duan Fangyuan?Duan Fangyuan was so angry that he lost his mind.

He said to the judges: "I don't believe it! I want to taste his dishes! I don't believe that I can lose to a brat! Did you accept bribes!" He didn't even dare to accept gifts!He believed that Lin Weirui had an improper relationship with the members of the chamber of commerce, and he couldn't believe that he had lost to him in cooking.

Now the judges of the chamber of commerce are also cold-faced, they will be afraid of the pressure from above and Marshal Ye, but they are not afraid of a small Duan Fangyuan, if not for his master Mr. With this rant and slander, there will be no place for Duan Fang Yuan to stay in the capital!

"Chef Duan, please be careful. Our chamber of commerce must have a fair competition and a fair score, so why do we talk about secret operations? If you are not convinced, you can try Mr. Lin's craftsmanship." A fellow judge who was very friendly He was reasonable, but more people scolded the absurdity and then walked away.

Duan Fangyuan had no time to take care of it, he rushed up to scoop up a spoonful of fried rice, even if it was cold fried rice, Duan Fangyuan was speechless, let alone other things.

There was a crowd of people in the audience, which made his angry heart suddenly calm down. Thinking of the action just now, cold sweat broke out. He quickly put away the ugly look of not being able to lose, and left the stage maintaining the last bit of demeanor.

However, he knew that because of his mistake, Huixian Hall had completely become a stepping stone for Youfeng to live.The owner of the box in Tianzi No. [-] on the second floor also went back to the palace contentedly, and he was going to tell the prince the good news.

----------------

The sound of the car came from far to near, Lin Weirui got out of the car, entered the mansion door and went straight to the bathroom.When he got out of the bathroom all wet, he saw that there was already a person waiting in the room.

Ye Honghu stepped forward to hug him, like a big wolf dog, kissed his collarbone, and bit him lightly.Pushed away by Lin Weirui in disgust, "Ye Honghu, are you a dog?"

The man smiled and said, "I belong to Lin."

Lin Weirui also laughed. When he laughed, there was a faint dimple on the right side of his cheek. Ye Honghu stared straight at it, and leaned forward unconsciously...

"Hiss..." Lin Weirui looked at him speechlessly, covering her licked cheeks.

The soft sunken dimples will shrink suddenly when being licked, becoming more and more like a small pit filled with intoxicating honey.Ye Rogue thought endlessly.

While he was taking a bath, Ye Honghu, who had come back from the house, had already heard Xiaobao vividly explain today's competition. Ye Honghu, who had won the result, was no exception at all. Tell someone to check it out, who did the trick!It has to be said that the members of the Peking Chamber of Commerce escaped unharmed.

The two talked intimately for a while, and Ye Honghu said: "The matter here is over, I'm going back to Fengtian, you can go back with me."

Lin Weirui thought about it, Peking University is now in summer vacation, and the school starts in September, so he only needs to come here for a meeting in mid-August.Regarding the matter of the branch, the restaurant is still being renovated, and there are design drawings, so Xiaobao can just stare at it, so he nodded.

Wu Mian heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that the two masters were finally going back, and hurriedly sent someone to prepare.Fengtian is their base camp, and there are mixed forces in Beiping. Although they have a lot of people this time, it is difficult to guarantee that some people will start to catch the thief first when they get confused. They have been outside for a long time. Safety is more and more difficult to guarantee.

What he didn't know was that his worries would come true in the near future.
