Chapter 544

The containers used by the authentic Buddha jumping over the wall are all exquisite. It's better to use pottery pots made by the ancient method. Xia Jing takes out a jar of wine she brought from her hometown from the ground. The labels on the jar are yellow, and it has been many years.

It's Shaoxing yellow rice wine aged without any trademark. It's a gift from Mr. Xia's old friends who brewed it in person. It's also an authentic old wine brewed according to the ancient recipe. It's completely hand brewed. Even the wine containers have been used since the period of the Republic of China. It's said that Lu Xun, a great literary master, liked to drink this kind of hometown wine at the beginning, which can be described as authentic.

Xia Jing takes great efforts to open the lid of the wine jar. Suddenly, the smell of wine is strong and she wants to drink it.

However, it's not suitable to drink alcohol during the competition. Xia Jing poured the liquor into the prepared empty bottle. She could see that the tawny liquor was very attractive. She used the wine jar as a container for cooking, and yellow rice wine was also one of the ingredients. However, she didn't use a lot of it. It's a pity to throw it away, so she collected it all.

Xia Jing then cleaned the wine jar, washed it inside and outside for three times, and finally rinsed it with water soaked in fragrant rice.

Then Xia Jing put the hard to cook ingredients into the bottom of the jar. The layers were as neat as the brick walls. Good dishes should not only be delicious, but also be beautiful. This is the necessary skill of the Xia family's imperial kitchen. If the cooking is not good-looking, it was beheaded by the old Buddha in the palace. This is the unique skill practiced by Xia's ancestors with their lives.

There are quite a lot of ingredients for fotiaoqiang, such as abalone, sea cucumber, fish lips, yak skin glue, Pleurotus eryngii, flower mushroom, cuttlefish, yaozhu, quail eggs, etc., which are put in order by Xia Jing according to the ancient method. Then the pressed tendon, pig's hoof and other ingredients in the pressure cooker over there are taken out and put into the jar in turn. Finally, a layer of Shaoxing yellow rice wine is poured, and a bag of seasoning bag is made by Xia Jing's family, This dish is half done.

Now Xia Jing puts the wine jar on the stove and cooks it over medium heat, so that the ingredients can be cooked quickly.

The usual way is to cook it gently, but it's too late to use medium heat. You need to master the heat better. Otherwise, the dishes at the bottom of the jar are easy to scorch, while the ones on the top are not ripe. Fortunately, Xia Jing has consulted her grandfather at home these days and mastered the method of controlling the heat. This time, she can use it more easily.

The rest of the time is waiting, but Xia Jing is still concentrating on the fire, observing the evaporation of steam, and adjusting the size of the flame at any time.

This is not careless at all. Once it is made into paste or raw, the game will be a smash.

At this time, the other contestants finished their works one after another, and asked the judges to mark the dishes.

Hou Bin also finished his work. After scoring by the judges, his performance temporarily ranked first, and he began to be proud again.

He looked at Xia Jing, who was still seriously controlling the fire, and laughed with disdain: "it's really Hun big brainless. He actually made a Buddha jump in the competition. He didn't have enough time, and the food couldn't taste. It's a shame to lose to you last time

After finishing the competition, Hou Bin refused to step down. He watched Xia Jing not far away. He wanted to see with his own eyes how the cook who took his first place in the preliminary competition made a fool of herself.

As time goes by, only a few chefs are cooking on the stage. After the host introduces the ranking of the players in front, he turns his attention to Xia Jing.

"The only female chef at the scene is still in the process of intense cooking. Just now, the judges pointed out that what she did was a famous specialty dish of Fujian Province in China. However, it was still a bit reluctant to do it in the limited time of the competition. Now I'm looking forward to the amazing cooking skills of this beautiful cook. "

Only a few chefs have finished their works one after another, and they are still Hou Bin's number one for the time being.

There are still two minutes left in the competition, and Xia Jing is the only one left on the stage. The hostess comes to Xia Jing and asks if she can finish it on time?

"Yes."

Xia Jing turned off the fire at the last moment, and then took down the whole wine jar with a cotton pad. At this time, the host standing near felt that the jar was burning.

"Wow, I can smell the strong fragrance now. This Buddha jumping over the wall should be delicious."

The hostess was pleasantly surprised. If she said that other dishes were delicious, it was for the effect of the program. However, the Buddha leaping over the wall was really delicious, and it made her move her fingers.

A wine jar is full of dishes. It's more than ten kilos. It's very heavy. A staff member helps to move the jar to the judges' table. Other players don't have such treatment. It's a preferential treatment for beautiful cooks.

Now, Xia Jing's works have not been judged. The five judges have been looking forward to it. They all want to taste the craftsmanship of the only cook in the competition.

At one end of the wine jar, several judges squinted and sniffed. When they smelled the strange fragrance, they had a big appetite. These five professionals identified some ingredients from the taste, but it was too fragrant, much more fragrant than the Buddha jumping wall they had tasted before.

Xia Jing personally came to uncover the lid of the wine jar. Suddenly, a stream of hot air billowed out and filled the hall with fragrance, which was several times more fragrant than just now.

"Wow, audience friends, it's really delicious. I've never smelled it like this before. It's like eating it!"

The hostess's eyes are about to see stars, and she can't help it.

Xia Jing put out a pile of new chopsticks she was carrying with her. Anyway, she did a lot of things, and people who were interested in the scene could come to taste them. The truth is that the golden cup and silver cup are not as popular as the audience. She wants more people to admire her cuisine and then recognize her cooking skills.

Now, after all, in the competition, let the judges taste it first.

Judge No. 1 is a middle-aged gourmet. He is a regular guest of food review magazine. He first observed the inside of the wine jar. He could see that all kinds of food materials were arranged in order and were still steaming. After the fire was cut off, bubbles still appeared, indicating that the temperature was well controlled. A few minutes after the fire was cut off, there was still heat conduction from bottom to top to fully steam and cook the food.

No. 1 judge also thought that Xia Jing was a female net star to attract traffic. As a result, he knew that Xia Jing was not simple, he had real talent and learning.

After facing up to Xia Jing's skill, he gargles his mouth, then uses a small plate to clip a pig elbow and a sea cucumber, and then slowly blows cold, trying to put the sea cucumber into his mouth to chew.

"Well..."

"Well?"

"MMM!"

It doesn't matter that judge No. 1 chews, but a strong fragrance comes out. The unique taste and taste of sea cucumber permeates his mouth completely. The change process of his three exclamations in a row is his evaluation of the sea cucumber.

From the beginning of calm, to some doubt, is this his usual sea cucumber? Why is it so delicious?

Results after chewing for a while, after swallowing, the whole mouth and esophagus were filled with fragrance, and the sea cucumber actually had stamina, which was not believed by others.
