Chapter 39 - Chapter 160: Tai Chi Soup

The grouping is done by lottery, and Qin Mian is placed in the fourth group.

The first group is Wu Dewang, Zheng Xiangui, Zhao Xiang and Zhang Shun.

In less than two moments, the four young men came out carrying four dishes and placed them in front of Lao Liu, Lao Gu and Lao Wen.

The four vegetarian dishes are coconut wind bamboo rhyme, garlic purple eggplant, golden silk jade and spinach egg rolls. The chefs who make these four dishes are all chefs from famous restaurants. The four dishes are extraordinary and each has its own merits. Coconut-style bamboo rhyme uses celery stalks and green cabbage leaves as coconut trees, tomatoes as beaches, emerald green cucumbers and round and round vegetarian pills placed in the center of the porcelain plate, pleasing to the eye; garlic purple eggplant is bright in color and attractive fragrance; golden silk jade Climbing to a cold dish, the sauce and bamboo shoots make one's appetite, and the green coriander adorns it; the spinach omelet is small and exquisite, just like an ornamental product.

After Mr. Wen commented on his appearance, Mr. Liu and Mr. Gu nodded in agreement.

ManMan stood on Lei Tie's lap, saw it from a distance, and honestly commented: "Yes."

YuanYuan said: "Daddy will be more powerful."

ManMan was confident in his father and nodded heavily, "Yeah."

After tasting four dishes, Mr. Liu commented: "The taste of coconut wind bamboo charm and golden silk jade jade is the most harmonious. When you eat it, you can imagine the state of the two chefs cooking in one go. I can be sure of this. The two have at least ten years of experience as a chef. The garlic purple eggplant is also quite good, but the heat is slightly heavier, and it fails to perfectly display the delicious taste of the purple eggplant. The spinach omelet looks quite successful, but I don't know the chef. Is it a little nervous? Some spinach in the egg roll is still raw. Therefore, the old man thought that coconut wind bamboo charm and golden silk jade pass."

After Gu Lao and Wen Lao had tasted four dishes, they agreed.

Wu Dewang and Zheng Xiangui's faces were slightly embarrassed, and they looked at Qin Mian.

Qin Mian arched his hands to congratulate them both, with a smile on his lips, extremely indifferent.

The pride on Wu Dewang and Zheng Xiangui's faces instantly retreated.

Xiao Er brought the rest of the dishes to other chefs and the audience, letting them taste as they please.

The good guy asked Wu Dewang and Zheng Xiangui, and learned that they had indeed been chefs for more than ten years, and admired Mr. Liu even more.

The second group of contestants quickly entered the kitchen.

The other Xiaoer put away the bowls and chopsticks used by the three people, and reissued three sets of clean bowls.

After the second group and the third group were successfully compared, it was Qin Mian's turn to the fourth group.

Whether it is the three men, the contestants and the audience, they are obviously paying more attention to Qin Mian. When Qin Mian entered the kitchen, he unconsciously watched his back and secretly guessed what vegetarian dishes he would make.

It didn't take long for the four shopkeepers to come out with four plates of vegetarian dishes, namely pumpkin and orange pie, vegetable fried three-wire, mashed potato balls, and cucumber.

Pumpkin orange pie is the switch of peeled oranges made of pumpkin; the three fried vegetable shreds are carrot shreds, kelp shreds and potato shreds, arranged in a circle, the three colors are independent; the mashed potato balls are potatoes They are made into round balls; the cucumber slices in the cucumber are placed one after another. These four dishes pay attention to the appearance, and the presentation is very beautiful.

The old man and three did not comment on the appearance, and tasted it directly.

After tasting the three veggies, the eyes of all three of them changed slightly, and there was an inexplicable feeling that this dish must have been made by Qin Mian. Obviously it is the most ordinary ingredient but it has an unspeakable "umami" taste. Is this the special feature of Shuangshilou seasoning? Obviously, the dishes usually eaten in Shuangshilou are reduced effects.

Gu Lao Lisuo came to a conclusion, "Vegetarian fried three silk and pumpkin orange cake pass."

Qin Mian stood up with the pumpkin and orange pie cook, and sat down after making a bee for the three of them.

Gu Lao said again: "If the chef of mashed potato balls and cucumbers has any objections, you can also taste the vegetable fried three silks and pumpkin orange cake."

The cook of Mashed Potato Ball and the cook of Minyi Cucumber were confident in their cooking skills, and walked over naturally unconvinced.

Xiao Er handed them two sets of clean dishes.

The rest of the contestants looked nervously at the two cooks.

After the two had tasted the vegetarian three-threads, they paused, and then went to taste their own dishes. They were somewhat unwilling to say: "The vegetarian three-threads is really good."

Zheng Xiangui and Wu Dewang also tasted the vegetarian three-wire stir-fry, feeling a little more crisis in their hearts. But both of them retained their strength and were still confident about defeating Qin Mian.

Near noon, the game was suspended.

After lunch, the game continued after a half hour break. After all, if everyone's stomachs are full, even the jade liquid jelly will not feel delicious.

At the time when the sky was about to fall, the top five vegetarian dishes were finally decided, Qin Mian, Wu Dewang, Zheng Xiangui, Zhang Shun and Jin Changan. The next day, they will have another final to determine their ranking.

The audience feasted on a feast of vision and taste. When they left Shuangshi Lou, they were still discussing the various dishes they saw today. They all made a decision in their hearts, and they must come again tomorrow.

The next day, there were more people crowded in front of Shuangshilou who wanted to enter Shuangshilou to watch the game, and the street was almost blocked. Many of them pretend to join in the fun, and actually want to get a snack from the first-line heaven pastry shop. If everyone sends out a snack, the first-line Tianchang pastry shop will suffer a big loss.

All the contestants gloated and wanted to see the excitement of Shuangshilou. Who knows, without much faith, four baskets of peaches came from Youran Tianju—Dare to Love Ren's Shuangshoulou had long expected the situation today.

Shuangshoulou will give out a peach to each person who fails to enter the venue. No one can fault the Shuangfanglou.

At Chen Shi, the game started.

With the addition of the small kitchen, each of the five cooks happens to have a place.

In less than three quarters, five vegetarian dishes were served by Xiao Er.

The audience stretched their necks to look, guessing which dish was made by which cook.

The reason why the chef is not allowed to carry his own dishes is to avoid preconceivedness by the judges and the audience. Let the restaurant serve the dishes, the judges and the audience will not be able to match the chef with his dishes.

The five vegetarian dishes are Guota Tofu, Cuiyu Mantang, Tai Chi Soup, Assorted Vegetable Jelly and Vegetable Shortbread.

The potta tofu is yellow in color and neat in appearance. It is decorated with bright red red pepper fragments and emerald green onion. The rich color and fragrance appeals to the appetite; the jade mantang is actually lotus root balls and cowpeas, which are arranged in a fan-shaped dish. Fan-shaped; Tai Chi soup is very special, the whole bowl of soup is actually two colors, milky white on the left, bright green on the right, distinct, tender and fragrant; on the surface of the assorted vegetable jelly, you can't see what it is made of, but each piece is transparent Yes, there are faintly visible slender carrot shreds and small vegetable leaves, just like natural jade, which is breathtaking; the vegetable shortbread, which is obviously a vegetable, has the color and taste of the meat dish, which is equally amazing.

Everyone suddenly felt that this was the real strength of the chefs.

In the lobby, there was almost no sound, and everyone nervously waited for the comments of the three men.

Wu Dewang made mixed vegetable jelly. This is his exclusive secret recipe. He thinks it is better than Guota tofu, Cuiyu Mantang and vegetable shortbread, but he has no confidence to beat Qin Mian's Tai Chi soup. Soups and the like are difficult to shape. Even laymen understand that it is never easy to completely separate two different colored soups. Qin Mian's seasoning is better than others, but now it is stronger in appearance and skill, and the result can be imagined.

Zheng Xiangui feels that his vegetable shortbread is better than Cuiyu Mantang, assorted vegetable jelly and Guotai tofu, but it is also slightly inferior to Tai Chi soup.

Nie Heng guessed that the most peculiar-looking Tai Chi soup was made by Qin Mian, and said with a smile to Lei Tie, "It seems that your Double Restaurant has reservations even for our diamond members."

Lei Tie said indifferently: "Shuangfanlou launches new dishes and will not forget to inform diamond members." The implication is that Tai Chi soup has not yet been launched.

Nie Heng was speechless, staring at the Tai Chi soup, wishing to taste it instead of the three judges.

Liu Lao, Gu Lao and Wen Lao looked at the five dishes, nodded in unison, and then picked up the dishes and tasted them separately. Every time a dish was tasted, a pair of clean dishes should be changed to prevent odor and affect the best taste. .

Everyone stared at the expressions of the three of them, and noticed that the three of them had been staring at the Tai Chi soup for the longest time. It was clear that Tai Chi soup was about to win.

After tasting the Tai Chi soup, Mr. Wen couldn't stop even taking another spoonful. Tai Chi soup is currently the only dish that has been judged and tasted twice.

Sure enough, the three of them discussed in a low voice and announced the result, "Tai Chi soup, first; assorted vegetable jelly, second; pot tofu, third; vegetable shortbread, fourth, emerald full house, fifth."

Lao Wen brought the Tai Chi soup to the front, raised the spoon, Liu Lao quickly took the Tai Chi soup away and handed it to Xiao Er.

"Can't drink anymore, and I will continue to judge meat dishes later."

In case of a full drink, it will inevitably affect the comments on other dishes in the future.

A look of regret climbed on the old face, he looked at Qin Mian, "Boss Qin, after the game, the old man will stay in Shuangshilou for a few more days."

Qin Mian smiled and arched his hands, "It's an honor."

Gu Lao said: "Everyone, take a break for a stick of incense and try meat dishes."

Xiao Er brought five dishes to the other cooks and the audience to taste.

YuanYuan and ManMan waved to Qin Mian, Qin Mian walked over, bent down, and kissed each other.

Lei Tie pulled him to sit down beside him.

A family of four gathered together and spoke in a low voice, YuanYuan and ManMan rolled around in their father and father's arms, making crisp laughs from time to time.

The warm scene aroused the envy of many people. The people around Liushui Town have long stopped taking "Qin Mian and Lei Tie both men" as an example, and no one does not envy their double harvest of family and career.

Wu Dewang and Zheng Xiangui were sitting in the corner, with disgusting smiles on their faces, but their eyes were occupied by haze.

"Brother Zheng, if Qin Mian enters the top five of the meat dish competition, you and I will never get thirteen incense and eighteen fresh." Wu Dewang said of the current dilemma of the two.

"Yes." Zheng Xiangui couldn't lift his spirits a bit. "Although he doesn't want to admit it, Qin Mian does have the strength. Unless he doesn't participate in the competition, you and I can't stop him from winning."

Wu Dewang quietly made a vague gesture under the table and lowered his voice, "Or..."

Zheng Xiangui immediately shook his head and slapped his chin at the opposite Lei Tie, "See Qin Mian's man? Those eyes are like ice blades. How many colleagues used to fight Youran Tianju and Shuangshoulou's idea was stopped by him. I dare to say, as long as you and I attack Qin Mian the moment before, he will make you better than death the next moment. I don't want to bet on my life."

Wu Dewang secretly scolded him as timid as a mouse.

Zheng Xiangui drank a sip of tea to refresh his mind, "I don't expect to get those two recipes anymore. Whether it's second, third, fourth or fifth, I can at least get back six hundred taels of silver from our owner. ."

Wu Dewang was still a little unwilling, and his voice was sullen, "I don't believe he can really make the top five! Just wait and see!"

Lei Tie raised his eyes, his indifferent gaze flicked over Wu Dewang and Zheng Xiangui. When they returned to Qin Mian, they had become calm and gentle, and handed a cup of tea to Qin Mian.

"Wife, drink some water."
