Chapter 212 Victory or defeat
A pair of gold-rimmed glasses hung on the straight bridge of his nose. The young man gently took out the chopsticks beside him and tried to reach for the chicken on the plate.
For him, it is better to start studying delicious food than to get involved in boring quarrels.
The man named Lian Yu has such a character, he is capable and not sloppy.
The Dong'an chicken on the plate is bright in color and full of aroma.
But unlike the Dong'an chicken that several judges usually order at ordinary restaurants, the dish that was served was not cut into pieces at all, but the whole chicken was directly torn open and served.
That is to say, when cooking, this dish is cooked as a whole chicken, rather than cut into pieces as in traditional techniques.
Wouldn’t it be tasteless if you put it this way?
When they saw this dish for the first time, several judges couldn't help but have the same question in their minds.
What was placed in front of Lian Yu was a piece of chicken breast, which was the most difficult part of the whole chicken to cook.
This part of the meat itself is fat, and coupled with the fact that its fat content is too low, if you are not careful, it will taste like white water chicken.
It's just that the chicken breast in front of him, including the skin, is bright in color, and seems to be thicker than the Dong'an chicken he has eaten before. Against the background of the chicken, the color of the outer skin is particularly bright.
When I flicked my chopsticks and took my mouth, the imaginary smell of chicken breast did not appear. Instead, a strong aroma of chicken burst out on the tip of my tongue.
The chicken skin, which has been stained by the sauce until it changes color, is wrapped in the tender chicken and goes into your mouth. The chicken that was originally lacking in flavor was instantly replenished, but the cooked chicken retained its original flavor and was not stained by the sauce.
Chewing it in your mouth, the aroma of chicken becomes more and more obvious.
"You...if I guessed correctly, when you cooked the whole chicken for the first time, you should not have used chicken broth."
After chewing it repeatedly in his mouth, Lian Yu finally found a sense of dissonance.
Normally, Dong'an chicken is cooked in chicken broth when it is boiled in water, in order to increase the flavor of the chicken itself.
But the more he ate, the more something was wrong. The chicken skin, which was supposed to be stewed in the chicken soup together with the chicken, now smelled entirely of sauce. The only chicken flavor was the taste of the chicken skin itself. This was completely unreasonable.
So the only explanation is that this dish has never been simmered in chicken broth.
Facing the judges' questions, the wandering chef opened his white teeth and smiled sheepishly.
"The judges are right. I did not use chicken stock, but used sauce to simmer the whole chicken until it was cooked, and then cooked it."
The preparation of Dong'an chicken is divided into three steps. First, boil or steam the chicken to half-cooked. Second, cut the chicken into pieces, stir-fry with the auxiliary ingredients, and then add chicken stock to simmer.
Finally, when the juice is reduced, pour on the seasonings and serve.
But the homeless boy changed many of the steps. The chicken soup that was supposed to be used showed no traces of use at all, but the whole chicken was kept where it should be cut into pieces. If you just look at the appearance, can this thing be said to be...
It’s hard to describe Dong’an Chicken.
However, the delicious aroma of chicken that burst into her mouth made it impossible for Lian Yu, who was always strict, to say no.
This change is really... wonderful.
Not only him, but also the other judges had expressions of admiration on their faces.
It seems that he is very satisfied with his cooking.
After everyone finished tasting, another contestant's dish was also served.
"The cooking for Team 117 is completed!"
Following the referee's call, plates of dishes that were more in line with people's expectations of Dong'anzi Chicken were brought to the front of several judges.
The chicken was cut into strips, and the rich aroma of sesame oil mixed with the aroma of chicken filled the place.
Unlike the wandering chef's dishes that are full of color, the peasant woman's dishes have a "clear" feel.
The chicken is stacked in white on the plate, and after being irrigated with red oil, it is dyed with a spicy flavor, which makes people move their index fingers.
The peasant woman also looked very shy. She bowed to the judges and stepped aside without saying anything, waiting for their evaluation.
Wang Shuping picked up the chopsticks and put the chicken mixed with red oil into his mouth.
Soft and numb.
As soon as you take it into your mouth, the spicy taste spreads on the tip of your tongue, and when paired with the extremely soft and rotten chicken, it makes you say it is so satisfying.
The faint smell of white vinegar further whets people's appetite, and they can't help but use their chopsticks to quickly eat up the chicken on the plate in front of them.
One piece after another, after a while, the chicken nuggets on the plate in front of Wang Shuping disappeared.
Only the red oil between the corners of the mouth remained on the face, proving the existence of this plate of Dong'an chicken.
Coincidentally, the other judges also swept away all the dishes in front of them, and their speed was jaw-dropping.
Even Lian Yu, who always paid attention to his appearance, began to wipe his face with the tablecloth at the table, his movements were extremely elegant.
Seeing this, the peasant woman couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
You know, the judges only took a few bites of the dish of the young man who looked a little messy. Doesn't this prove that her dishes are more attractive?
In order not to show her secret joy, she shrank her neck and pressed her face down slightly, like a cat that had stolen something.
"The judges have completed their review, please cast your vote."
After all, it is a knockout match between two people, and there is still an on-site referee as a temporary host to promote the game process.
"Gulu~"
Although the peasant woman kept herself calm, her heart beat faster when the answer was revealed.
The thumping of the heartbeat went all the way up the chest and spread to the ears.
In the autumn wind, her mind was constantly stirring.
quick......
The woman's gaze seemed to be urging the judges to cast a vote that would determine the direction of the competition.
But the wandering boy had no reaction to this. He stood there with his pockets on the ground, waiting for the announcement of the result.
Finally, the five judges took out the boards they had prepared and wrote down the numbers of the contestants they supported.
Just like the queue coming out of the army, it is extremely orderly.
"The one who advances is——Number 93!"
The referee's slightly passionate words brought the game to an end.
The five boards with ninety written on them are so dazzling and ruthless.
It's just...some people couldn't accept this result.
"Why...you obviously ate them all, didn't you..."
Looking at the woman who was standing there in front of him, Lian Yu couldn't help but sigh.
He tapped lightly with his fingertips and sorted out his words.
"Do you know where your cooking is not as good as his?"
Unexpectedly, the judges were really willing to answer her questions. The woman raised her head and listened attentively.
At this time, even the people in the audience were attentive and wanted to know the reason from the judges.
