Chapter 31

Although there are no closed walls around the hall and the cool breeze wafts from time to time from the Qinhuai River, the atmosphere in the entire hall has become very solemn.

The sound of silk and bamboo continued, but the singing and dancing performance had stopped. The originally noisy hall gradually became quiet, and even the sound of a needle falling from the ground could be heard.

This Yiya Conference finally returned to the atmosphere of the official competition, and no longer seemed like a poetry party or a grand gathering in the upper class.

This is a competition that is evenly matched and tense, and is related to the reputation of Zhao and Xie governments.

All the eyes of the audience were concentrated in the simple kitchen covered by the remaining two curtains. Only the sound of chopping vegetables, the sound of stir-frying or steaming vegetables, and the sound of wind coming from the Qinhuai River.

A strange fragrance floated from the air, and Tang Zheng's curtain was lifted, and a smell of oil smoke spread out. Tang Zheng's face was solemn, holding a plate of dishes and slowly walked out.

In his eyes, he was a little determined and a little uneasy, with a little bit natural, and more of a tragic atmosphere.

This battle not only concerns whether he can continue on the road of a chef, but also the reputation of the Zhao family, and a restaurant worth a lot.

More importantly, if this battle fails, the Zhao family’s restaurant in Jiangning City will inevitably be eroded by the Zheng family and lose all face.

At this time, even Zhao Hao, who was closing his eyes to rest, was trying to cheer himself up and staring at the venue with concentration.

When he saw Tang Zheng coming out with food, his head almost hit the table.

Dashu, I asked you to participate in the cooking competition, not to assassinate the King of Qin. Why is there a little bit of the wind and cold Yishui? The hero will never return once he leaves...

However, he was still a little moved. Being entrusted by others, being loyal to others, taking money, and eliminating disasters for others is the true professional ethics.

A plate of dishes with all colors, fragrance and flavor were placed in front of the judges.

Dong'an Chicken, the representative of Hunan cuisine.

The production steps are roughly: slaughter the chicken and put it in the soup pot to cook. When it is 70% cooked, take it out and cool, and cut it into small strips. Put oil in the wok and cook until it is 80% hot. Add chicken strips, shredded ginger, vinegar, and minced pepper, etc., stir-fry, then add fresh meat soup until the soup is dried, add green onion slices, sesame oil, etc., and then put it on the pan and put it on the plate.

The fragrance is swaying, and the refreshing, tender and juicy appearance makes everyone salivate.

This is also a dish that Tang Zheng has practiced hard for many days. Whether it is knife skills, heat, and cooking skills, they have reached the point of perfection. What’s more important is that this cooking dish is unique in the world.

In this era, people were used to stewing, steaming, and cooking. Moreover, this dish was a famous dish among Hunan cuisine. It often appeared in state banquets in later generations, and Tang Zheng also used this dish to achieve the ultimate taste according to Zhao Hao's so-called cooking secrets.

Wang Tong picked up a piece of chicken, chewed it carefully for a while, then picked up another piece, his face full of solemnity, and after a long time he sighed, "I still have not finished my wish, I can't bear to release my chopsticks... Five points!"

At this time, Wang Hanzhi also put down his chopsticks and whispered loudly: "It's the ultimate deliciousness, it's really worth the trip, five minutes!"

Lu Qing closed his eyes, with an intoxicated expression on his face, and said with a shaking head: "The fragrance lasts for a long time, and it lasts for three days, five minutes!"

Meilin layman Yang Fang also put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with silk, and said leisurely: "Five minutes!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the great scholar Zhou Jin. As long as he made a five-pointer, the Zhao family would be invincible.

If both of them scored 25 points in the end, they would be tied. The Wang family and Wang Hanzhi would inevitably mediate to alleviate the dispute between Zhao and Zheng, and they would never have any overtime games again.

Especially Wang Hanzhi, a powerful dragon, has only been in Jiangning for more than three months, so naturally I like the situation where everyone is happy.

"Although eating chicken is delicious and refreshing, it tastes too strong. I like lightness in my life, and I don't like it a little... three points!"

Zhou Jin, who was silent, suddenly made a big splash - everyone should be shocked!

Zhou Jin claimed to be a descendant of Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin of the Three Kingdoms. He was also of the same clan as Zhou Bangyan, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty. Although his talent and knowledge were slightly inferior to Lu Qing, the great scholar in Jiangning City was also ranked among the top.

In Zhao Hao's eyes, contemporary great scholars have always cherished their feathers. They would rather die than lose their reputation. They rarely do things that damage their reputation, so Zhao Hao recommended him as a judge.

What he never expected was that Zhou Jin would suppress him so explicitly and lean towards the Zheng Mansion.

Damn your mother, you actually said that the taste is too strong. You can't eat radish every day and occasionally have a cabbage? And even if you taste light, you have to give at least a four-pointer. You can actually get three-pointer by just rubbing. This is a clear rhythm of resolutely making enemies.

Damn it, I actually played tricks on me.

Zhao Hao slowly raised his head, looked at Zhou Jin, and the murderous aura flashed away in his eyes.

Xie Yun sighed slightly, "Zhou Jin's son Zhou Qin has been a Jinshi for several years, but there is no real lack of money to make up for. This time, he must have hoped to find a job for his son in the capital. Now he is willing to sacrifice his face for the Zhou family..."

The scene was originally a little turbulent, but now it became quiet again.

Zhao Hao turned around and looked at the table of Zheng Qing and his son. He saw that Zheng Feng was also looking here, with a smug expression on his face. When he intersected with Zhao Hao's eyes, he showed a hideous smile, with ruthless ridicule and sarcasm in his eyes.

Zhao Hao’s mood at this moment, thousands of words gathered into one word: grass!

However, he quickly withdrew his gaze, with a strange look on his face, and he said lazily: "I'll sleep for a while."

After saying that, he lay on the table, closed his eyes, and started to sleep.

Xie Yun, who was standing beside him, had a wrong idea and patted his head with heartache and said, "My son doesn't have to worry. It's just a restaurant, so it's okay to give it to him by the Zheng Mansion. Don't be angry."

At this time, the climax of the Yiya Conference finally arrived.

The curtain was lifted, and Wang Gang finally brought out a plate of steaming dishes and walked towards the judges.

"The Imperial Bone Crispy Fish!"

Someone who is a buzz can see the truth at a glance and can't help but blurt out.

The imperial edict bone-sauce fish, also known as crispy fish, is a traditional famous dish in Hebei Province. It looks complete in shape, but the bone-sauce thorns are rotten when eaten. The fish meat is fragrant and fresh. It can be eaten from beginning to end, and after the bone-sauce thorns, without wasting any waste.

This dish originated from the Zhao family in Handan City, Hebei Province. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was introduced into the palace by the people. The Northern Song Dynasty was issued an imperial edict by Zhao Kuangyin, and since then it was honored as the imperial edict.

The most critical process for authentic imperial bone crispy fish is the material scenting process. Only after "material scenting" can the bone crispy fish be free of fishy smell, no peculiar smell, hot or cold, and the taste is even, and the nutrition of the ingredients is completely integrated with the fish body, so that the local flavor of the meat is not light, and the local flavor of the meat is already heavy, and the taste is the same from the beginning to the end.
