If the taste reaches a certain level, of course you should eat it first as a sign of respect. Who will remember to taste it?
The bowl of egg custard made by Xia Hui has reached this level.
Eight judges, without exception, gave A a high evaluation.
“Little girl, that’s very good, keep up the good work.” Zhou Shenghe made no secret of his admiration for Fang Hui.
Fang Hui showed a cute and sweet smile: "Thank you Mr. Zhou for the compliment, I can do it!"
Zhou Shenghe nodded with a smile, then moved to the next place with his hands behind his back.
In the first game, among the thirty-two people, only half succeeded in getting an evaluation of B or above, and the rest were eliminated.
To Fang Hui’s slight surprise, Tang Jinyu was also promoted.
Two hours later, the second competition began.
This time, the ingredient provided is a piece of soft tofu.
Beyond that, there is nothing.
It seems that the organizers are going to implement the "simple dishes" this time.
There are many dishes that can be made with tofu, such as cold tofu, braised tofu, pan-fried tofu, fried tofu, tofu balls, potted tofu, etc.
A simple square of tofu can be used to make flowers.
Fang Hui went through all the tofu she could make in her mind, and finally chose the method of oyster sauce tofu.
The fuel consumption is brought by her.
Bringing your own condiments is allowed in the cooking competition.
The prepared oyster sauce tofu is served in a large iron plate. The pieces of tender tofu are arranged neatly like tiles on the roof, with a layer of yellow and shiny oil sauce sprinkled on top.
The color is distinct, the aroma is harmonious, and it is very appetizing.
Zhou Shenghe paid attention to Fang Hui because of the custard she made in the first game. His eyes would glance at her cubicle from time to time, and he couldn't concentrate on playing chess.
While waiting for the dishes to be cooked, the judges couldn't just wait and do nothing. They just played chess and drank tea. Zhou Shenghe was the one who played chess.
Noticing that Fang Hui had hung up the red silk, he immediately got up and walked towards her.
As soon as he moved, everyone else followed suit.
“What’s the name of this dish?” Zhou Shenghe came to the table and realized that he had never seen tofu made in this way.
Fang Hui replied: "It's called oyster sauce tofu. My master taught me. You can try it."
She made a gesture of invitation.
The tofu was as white and tender as jade, and it looked like it was not easy to pick up, so Zhou Shenghe still used a spoon.
The mellow and fragrant oil is perfectly blended into the tofu, and melts when you sip it on the tip of your tongue.
The taste is still very good, but it is not as amazing as the custard before.
This is normal, after all, the previous custard was made from eggs laid by chickens in Shen Yizhi's space, which naturally contain spiritual energy.
“Ace.” Zhou Shenghe tasted another piece and gave his evaluation.
Other people’s evaluations may be higher or lower, but none lower than the first grade.
In the second game, Fang Hui still passed easily.
The third scene, like the second scene, continues the semi-propositional rule and provides everyone with a bowl of flour.
There are many more foods that can be made with flour than with tofu.
After all, flour is an ingredient that can share the world with rice.
This game lasted the longest, a full five hours.
I guess it’s because some people need to wake up the dough when making steamed buns or buns.
Fang Hui decided on the dish she wanted to make from the beginning.
This time, Zhou Shenghe simply moved a chair over and watched Fang Hui cooking from the side.
Fang Hui was not afraid, she followed the steps step by step and took her time.
Add water, stir, and knead the dough. After kneading the dough, she put it in a basin and woke up for about two-quarters of an hour.
At the same time, she poured water into the pot and brought it to a boil.
After the dough has risen, take it out and knead it into a cylindrical shape. Fang Hui holds the dough in one hand and holds a knife in the other. She cuts the dough along the outside inward one by one and puts it into the boiling pot.
Her hands are very steady, and the dough she cuts out is also very uniform, all in the shape of willow leaves of about the same size.
Zhou Shenghe looked at this scene and nodded secretly in his heart. This knife skill alone is not easy.
And this method of cooking pasta was something he had never heard of.
Could it be that the little girl’s master gave this to her again?
He couldn't help but be infinitely curious about that master.
After slicing the dough until it was almost smooth, Fang Hui used a spoon to stir the dough so that it could cook evenly.
After a while, she scooped up the noodles and put them into a large bowl, poured a ladle of hot soup into it, then scooped two ladles of homemade crab sauce, stirred it, and the crab sauce shaved noodles were ready.
Crab sauce is made from the meat of large, fat crabs. It is pickled and put into a jar. After a few months, it can be eaten. It is great with rice or added to noodle soup.
The crab sauce has a fragrant aroma and a clear color. Add two spoons of it and the water immediately turns into chicken soup.
Zhou Shenghe sniffed the bowl of shaved noodles and began to sing about the empty city strategy in his stomach. He picked up his chopsticks and ate first as a sign of respect.
Several other judges were also attracted by the scent.
The last few judges almost got into a fight over a bowl of noodles.
Fang Hui also found it funny, so she ordered another bowl.
After the eight judges tasted it, they looked both satisfied and dissatisfied.
The satisfaction is of course that I have tasted such delicious food, but the dissatisfaction is that there is too little! And after eating it this time, I don’t know if I will have the chance to eat it again next time.
"Girl, do you have too much crab sauce? Can you sell me a jar of it to the old man? As we get older, our appetites are not as good as before. Everything we eat tastes tasteless in our mouths, but this crab sauce of yours is... It aroused my greed." Zhou Shenghe looked at Fang Hui eagerly.
The other judges couldn't help but scold him in their hearts for being shameless and ashamed of himself.
At the same time, he also looked at Fang Hui expectantly.
If she had more, they would have to buy a jar too! money is not a problem!
Fang Hui could never have imagined that participating in the cooking competition would trigger a business opportunity.
She had a very good impression of these great masters in the culinary world, especially Zhou Shenghe. People who love to eat are cute in her eyes. She thought about it and said, "I still have a few jars there, one for each person." It’s impossible. I want to take it home and give it to my grandma and her friends to try, but one bottle per person can still be mixed.”
Hearing this, Zhou Shenghe and others became happy.
"Okay, okay, that's settled. I'll send someone to pick it up from you later. Speaking of which, girl, where do you live?" Zhou Shenghe began to inquire about Fang Hui's address.
Fang Hui answered.
Zhou Shenghe wrote it down secretly.
At the end of the third competition, only eight people advanced.
Zhou Chengzong was also in it, but Tang Jinyu was eliminated.
Fang Hui didn’t care and walked out of the pepper garden at a leisurely pace.
The third level will be held one day later, and the free day can be regarded as a buffer for the eight people who have advanced.
After all, cooking is a physical job, and it can be overwhelming to keep spinning.
