Yu Wan was preparing for the battle with all her heart, but she didn't know that her mother had kidnapped three small breasts for herself. She had just finished selecting ingredients for dispatch with Yu Feng.

"How come there is not even soy sauce or cabbage?" Yu Feng muttered, knowing that although cabbage is the most common vegetable, it is also the most versatile dish. It tastes delicious no matter how you make it, it will not affect the taste of the staple ingredients.

Yu Wan laughed: "If the second brother is here, he must have said why there is so little meat?"

Yesterday's rack was full of chicken, duck, fish and meat, but today I didn't see any of them.

"You're right." Yu Feng thought of something and said regretfully, "These ingredients are also good for stewing chicken soup."

Yu Wan spread her hands, but unfortunately she didn't have chicken.

After getting the ingredients, the group began to remove the fishy smell of sea cucumbers.

Chef Liu and another chef named Zhang both chose white wine. They first blanched sea cucumbers, then added slices of ginger, white wine, and scallions to cook thoroughly. This can remove most of the fishy smell of sea cucumbers. However, this will easily allow the irritating supplementary ingredients to collide with the sea cucumbers' own taste.

My uncle used rice washing water. Soaked sea cucumbers in rice washing water. After soaking for a while, it can remove the fishy smell of sea cucumbers well. The only disadvantage of this method is that it is too time-consuming, but they have other ingredients to deal with, so it is not a waste of time.

It is not the most plump and tender oysters now, and next month it will be the oysters they received are not big. If they are charcoal grilled, they will disappear once they shrink; if they are sashimi, they will not be active enough.

Yu Wan said: "Uncle, be your best friend."

What he is best at is naturally braised pork.

My uncle prepared a portion of white brine on site and braised a high-quality rib meat. Rib meat, also known as three-line meat, is taken from the abdomen of a pig. It contains a lot of fat and a small amount of muscle. It is suitable for fat and leanness, fresh and juicy.

Yu Wan cut the braised rib meat into slices and cut it into sauerkraut.

Yu Wan tasted the pickled cabbage. To be honest, the taste was not as good as that of the ones she picked, but this round of not allowing her own ingredients to be used, she could only settle for the second best.

My uncle made a dish of pork belly and oyster stewed with sauerkraut.

With the addition of pork belly, the small oysters do not look so thin. The umami flavor of oysters and braised pork and the sour taste of sauerkraut are completely intertwined. The braised pork is not greasy, and the oysters are not fishy. The fresh and salty taste is mixed with a refreshing sour taste. One less bit of salt, and one less bit of light, everything is just right.

The imperial chefs nodded frequently after tasting it, as if they were very satisfied with the taste of the dish.

Considering that pork belly and oyster stewed with sauerkraut is a heavy taste, my uncle's second dish is the lighter sea cucumber custard. In addition to the fishy smell, another problem is that the ginseng body is too tough and it is difficult to stew softly.

Of course, if you have the knife skills like Yu Wan-

Yu Feng recalled the scene where his sister took a sea cucumber to the emperor...

Suddenly I was worried that my sister would not get married in the future...

This is probably the softest sea cucumber that the imperial chefs have ever eaten, but it is not firewood and blends well with egg custard.

Chef Liu made the oyster and leek fried eggs. It seems that he has avoided the shortcomings of the oysters being too small. The leeks can remove fishy fishyness, the eggs can improve freshness, the bottom is crispy yellow, but the surface is so tender and juicy that it melts in the mouth. This oyster is the most satisfying thing for the imperial chefs.

However, Chef Liu made a mistake when making sea cucumbers with onions. The fishy smell of sea cucumbers was good, but it didn't stew it so hard. After chewing for half a day, the imperial chefs had to shake their heads regretfully.

Chef Liu's mistake made my uncle win without any suspense.

However, after tasting Chef Liu's dishes, my uncle still sweated hard: "If this sea cucumber does not make any mistakes, it will be a big deal."

It’s no wonder that Mr. Qin specifically reminded them to pay attention to Chef Liu, whose strength has made terrible gains compared to three years ago.

Yu Wan disagreed and said, "Where are there so many things in the world? If so? Luck is also part of his strength. His mistake was because he had a wrong mentality. My uncle stabilized, and this result was what my uncle deserved."

Where did this come from? My uncle was helpless and funny, but it is undeniable that he was successfully comforted.

There are only one opportunity in many things in the world. If you seize them, you will seize them. If you fail to seize them, you will not be forgiven because of mistakes.

In the first round, Zuixianlou advanced, while the group of Du Niangzi and Chef You, after fierce fighting, was the most popular with Du Niangzi's abalone sea cucumber.

Of course, there is no real abalone juice on site. The abalone juice is made of duck, old hen, pig trotters, pig keels, pork keels, pork skin, vintage ham and dried scallops. Its color is golden, delicious, and has a particularly rich nutritional value.

Madam Du can use secret methods to make the taste of abalone juice without chicken and duck. This alone is enough for her to win.

"Didn't Manager Cui say... she can't even line up the top ten in Tianxianglou?" Yu Feng finally noticed Miss Du, because if they continue to compete like this, they will sooner or later face Miss Du.

Yu Wan smiled faintly: "That was before, we have to allow others to make progress."

Once a woman becomes ruthless, sometimes there is nothing wrong with a man.

I don’t know if they were incompatible with Tianxianglou, but in the second round, they encountered a chef from Tianxianglou. This was the last chef of Tianxianglou who was still tenacious, except for Madam Du and Master Bao. Yu Wan heard that his surname was Qin, but Yu Wan was sure that he had nothing to do with Master Qin.

This chef Qin is a young chef. He entered Tianxianglou after his uncle left, so the two did not know each other. Tianxianglou pressed the weight on Chef Bao and sent Chef You, who was skilled in cooking, and Chef Liu, who was the only chef. Master Qin seemed to be here to take advantage of the competition experience.

There was no pressure from my uncle to face him, but for two consecutive days of competition, my uncle couldn't bear it anymore.

When making a dish of stewed mutton with red ginseng, my uncle couldn't stand up because of pain.

"Uncle!" Yu Wan put down the half-cut sweet potatoes and walked over to support the uncle who was sweating profusely.

The uncle waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."

"I said it's okay, you're so painful." Yu Wan took out a veil and wiped the sweat beads from her uncle's forehead.

The uncle smiled and said, "It's almost done."

When Yu Feng saw his father working so hard, he suddenly had the idea of ​​withdrawing from the competition. But he understood that the reason why his father did this was not only for the workshop business, but also to make a sigh of relief for himself. Tianxianglou did not justify him, and he felt sad when he said he didn't care.

Regardless of whether the prescription is from Uncle San or not, it must not be from Tianxianglou. Why did Tianxianglou steal their things without saying a word? Afterwards, there was no apology. It also made people misunderstand that they were unreasonable. When Chef Yang's limelight subsided, who still remembers their craftsmanship that once plagiarized the signature dishes?

Chef Qin made red ginseng stewed pork heart, which tasted a bit unsatisfactory than my uncle and another chef.

In this round, Zuixianlou advanced without any suspense.

Then, the most worrying thing happened. In the last round of today, the Yu family met Madam Du.

"I've found out!" While resting in the wing room, Master Qin walked in sweating profusely. He also fought to win the big game, running back and forth, and dissipating countless wealth.

Yu Wan poured him a cup of tea.

"Thank you!" He drank it all, and after he recovered, "There are only three of you left, Brother Yu, Madam Du, and a chef from Weiyuan Inn."

"What inn?" Yu Wan looked at him.

"Weiyuan Inn." said Mr. Qin.

Yu Wan: “…”

Shouldn’t it be more convenient for Weiyuan Escort Agency? An inn gave Mao the name of an escort agency?

It sounds so naughty, but it ended up breaking into the top three...

Mr. Qin poured another cup of tea and said, "By the way, you can use the same ingredients you have prepared in this round. Have you thought about what you can use?"

Yu Wan took out a small jar from her bag: "Yu Ji stinky tofu fermented bean curd!"

This was what they finally decided to leave after careful discussion, after screening out amazing ingredients such as brine, marinade, shark fin, stinky tofu and other products.

Compared with the stinky tofu that always occupies the C position, the plasticity of fermented bean curd is higher. It will not overestimate the main points, but also add "scent" and add color. Of course, this is all based on the high-quality cooking skills.

Mr. Qin has tasted the fermented bean curd from the Yu family, but it is served with the stinky tofu that has just been fried out of the pot. It is salty and cool, with a sharp smell and a tender taste. I don’t know how to cook? Wouldn’t it be too smelly?

Stinky tofu itself is smelly, and it’s nothing to pair with fermented bean curd, but other ingredients...

Mr. Qin cleared his throat: "Cough! Are you sure you won't change anything else? I heard that Miss Du brought rose braised."

Rose braised is a sauce made of fresh rose petals and stained with white sugar. It is a layer of honey on it. It tastes sweet and has a fragrance of flowers between the lips and teeth. It is a very high-end ingredient.

"No change." The Yu family said in unison.

"..."Okay, just be happy.

This is the last round of competition today. Those who win will have the honor to compete with Chef Bao. Whether to win or not is a story. Just being able to stand on the same "ring" with Chef Bao is enough to make people famous.

Weiyuan Inn and Zuixianju are both dark horses that emerged from the sky. No one is optimistic about them, and they all guess that they can only serve as stepping stones for Miss Du.

"Who said that!" Bai Tang also came, walked out of the wing room, and roared at the guests gathered in the corridor to comment, "Do you know who the chef of Zuixianju is? It is Master Yu who has plagiarized his skills by Tianxianglou! He made the five signature dishes in Tianxianglou! What are you making stepping stones for people? It's almost the same for Madam Du to make stepping stones for him!"

A young guest jumped out and said, "Where is the ignorant girl? Madam Du is a disciple of Chef Bao Shenshu! Can he compare with Madam Du? Besides, I heard that he was the one who really made the idea perfect, but Chef Yang, who knew him?"

"You... you are so confused! You are talking nonsense!" Bai Tang was so angry that he was about to explode. Who are the people in a group?

"Miss, say a few words." Manager Cui advised earnestly.

Bai Tang said angrily: "What should I say less? Did I not distinguish right from wrong first? These people are all brainless!"

"Who is brainless? Can you speak?" Another guest spoke.

Bai Tang aroused the public's anger. Seeing that the situation was not good, Manager Cui hurriedly persuaded his lady to return to the room.

Manager Cui said earnestly: "Oh, Miss, why do you have the same knowledge as them? It's just a mule or a horse that pulls it out. After all, it depends on the result of the competition."

"I know! But I'm so angry!" Bai Tang said, pushing open the window, sticking his head out, and looking up. Don't think she doesn't know. Yan Ruyu is right upstairs. Yan Ruyu has been staring at the movements of the Yu family, and did she know that Yan Ruyu was waiting for the Yu family's jokes?

The competition has not yet begun, but many people have come to the door to congratulate Yan Ruyu and Madam Du.

Yan Ruyu had her own plans. All the shops under the Yan family were confiscated after the Yan family were convicted, but now they have been returned one after another, including inns and restaurants. If Miss Du wins the championship in one fell swoop, it will be a good thing for her.

"I congratulate Miss Du first. Remember to set up two tables of wine to celebrate Miss Du!"

"It must be." Yan Ruyu said with a gentle smile.

"Does Madam Du have confidence?" After the congratulatory people left, Yan Ruyu asked Madam Du softly.

Madam Du nodded and said, "I studied hard and practiced hard, just for this day, and I will definitely win."

Yan Ruyu asked with a smile: "Do you still care so much about a mere competition with Madam Du's reputation?"

Mrs. Du said: "What I won is not someone else, but myself. I want to prove to my master that I am qualified to inherit his mantle."

Chef Bao’s mantle!
