Chapter 148 Advance to the Finals! Make a Meaningful Dish! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】

"Would you like to exchange for the perfect white jade lotus root dish?"

"yes!"

"The exchange is successful. Congratulations to the host for getting the perfect dish White Jade Lotus Root. Because this dish was created by the host's master Gao Peisheng, an additional excellent cooking learning card will be awarded."

Ha ha!

It actually succeeded?

The last time Xie Baomin made white jade lotus root silk, Lin Xu used the cooking study card to study, but the study failed because his knife skills were not excellent.

He originally thought he would fail this time.

Unexpectedly, it was a one-time success.

You even got an additional excellent meal learning card.

What is a surprise?

This is called a surprise!

this moment.

Lin Xu felt that 200,000 points was not a waste of money.

Two perfect dishes and an excellent cooking lesson card.

What more bikes do you want?

When he was filled with emotion.

Wu Kexin was busy taking a few close-ups of the dishes on the table with her mobile phone, and then posted them on her social platform account:

"Boss Lin created the original dish "Home" with only five ingredients. Close-up, welcome to taste!"

soon.

Likes and replies started to increase dramatically:

"Wow! I thought Boss Lin was going to leave sadly next, but I didn't expect to miss the show! Brothers, go back, Boss Lin is going to win!"

"Go back immediately! You have to give Boss Lin a lot of rewards."

“I can’t afford to eat this dish just because of its appearance!”

"Me too, but it doesn't matter if you can't afford it. The important thing is to cheer for Boss Lin!"

"Come on, come on, how can you miss the plot of Boss Lin's counterattack?"

"I hope the judges will be merciful!"

"..."

Game scene.

The judges started tasting.

The first is the loofah stuffed with meat made by Guo Xinghai. This steamed dish is quite good in terms of appearance. The middle of the emerald green loofah is filled with meat filling and is dotted with minced garlic.

The rich meaty aroma mixed with the freshness of loofah makes people have an appetite immediately after smelling it.

Guo Xinghai also had a big problem when making this dish, because there was no light soy sauce, no onion and ginger. When marinating the meat, he could only dissolve the salt and add it to the meat instead of the onion and ginger water and light soy sauce.

Then pound the meat until it becomes sticky.

When stuffing a loofah, you should apply a layer of starch on the inner wall to prevent the stuffing from slipping out after steaming.

But he didn't get the starch.

So you can only use a knife to carve the inner wall of the loofah as uneven as possible to hang the meat filling.

Fortunately, he got the garlic.

Use cooking oil and salt to make a simple version of garlic sauce.

It makes this loofah stuffed meat taste a little more garlicky.

Guo Xinghai smiled and said to Lin Xu:

"If I could replace the cooking oil with light soy sauce, my dish would taste better."

Wei Gan on the side asked:

"Then how do you make golden and silver garlic?"

"I can take out the fat from the meat and make it into oil."

Tsk, it seems that he is not very satisfied with his loofah stuffed meat.

Several judges tasted it.

I gave the loofah stuffed meat a high rating:

"The taste and color of this loofah-stuffed pork dish can be made so perfect when the only seasoning is salt. This cooking skill is really not easy."

"Yes, the freshness of the pork itself and the freshness of the loofah combine very well."

“The steaming temperature is just right.”

"The golden and silver garlic is more eye-catching. The garlic flavor brings out the fragrance of the meat and the fragrance of the loofah."

This loofah stuffed pork dish received unanimous praise from the judges.

Then we started to taste Wei Gan’s stir-fried pork tenderloin with green onions.

When he got the tenderloin, he originally planned to make a stir-fried tenderloin.

But without egg white and starch, it won’t slide at all.

Fortunately, he got green onions in the fifth round, so he made this fried tenderloin with green onions.

This dish smells good.

But the biggest flaw is that there is no dark soy sauce, which means that the tenderloin cannot be colored. The light white meat slices are mixed with the white scallions, which somewhat loses the appearance.

"I'll just replace the ginger with dark soy sauce. This will give it a nice color and add a bit of soy sauce flavor. It's not like now, where even though ginger is added, the onion flavor is suppressed. It's no different than if it wasn't added."

Wei Qian also looked regretful.

I always feel that I haven't used my due strength.

However, after the judges tasted it, they thought it was good. The aroma of green onion and meat were well combined.

After tasting all the salty dishes, the judges began to taste Lin Xu’s original dishes.

Everyone originally thought that this dish was just for show, but after tasting it, they discovered that it actually tastes varied and tastes different.

The first is the baked pumpkin balls with egg yolk. This dish tastes sweet and salty, with a rich egg flavor.

And you can also taste the soft and sandy texture of salted egg yolk while eating.

After finishing the baked pumpkin balls with egg yolk.

The judges then tasted the caramelized pumpkin underneath, which served as a "dead branch."

The surface of the crispy-fried pumpkin strips is covered with dark brown caramel, which tastes fragrant and sweet, and the soft and tender pumpkin inside gives this dish a different texture.

Then everyone tasted the dragon beard cakes that were thinner than hair with great interest.

It's sweet in the mouth, with a hint of glutinous rice flour.

One dish has three different textures and flavors, and the key is that it looks so good.

Let the judges say it is enjoyable.

After tasting, start scoring.

This is also the link that netizens are most concerned about.

After all, Lin Xu has already opened up, and it would be a real injustice if he were to be eliminated again.

In the end, Lin Xu once again received full marks with an original dish that was impeccable in appearance, taste and other aspects.

Guo Xinghai, who lacked light soy sauce and other condiments, also scored 9.6 points.

Wei Qian, who lost a bit seriously in terms of the presentation of his dishes, received 9.4 points.

As for the other two players, they scored 9.2 and 9.1 points.

After the scores are out.

Fans in the audience and in the live broadcast room were all very excited.

Because everyone saw the birth of a new dish under extreme conditions, and saw Lin Xu try his best to make a comeback.

“When will Diaoyutai serve this new dish? I’ll be the first to order it!”

"I'm here to eat too. No matter how much you pay, you have to taste it."

"There's me and me. This looks so good, it's worth just taking pictures."

"..."

Many of the audience members are Diaoyutai members and customers, and they were specially invited to witness the cooking competition today.

At this moment, they were attracted by Lin Xu's dishes.

Want to taste it.

After hearing everyone's discussion, Liao Jinming, director of the Diaoyutai Catering Department sitting in the front row, sighed helplessly.

He was also very excited when he saw Lin Xu's original dish.

I also want all buildings to be updated as soon as possible.

I only found out when I combined it with a few people around me.

There are really not many people in Diaoyutai who can cook this dish.

Because this dish not only requires perfection in the two dishes of baked pumpkin with egg yolk and caramelized pumpkin, but also requires the ability to make dragon beard cakes and be good at plate presentation.

Except for the dessert chef.

Very few other chefs can do that.

After all, not everyone crosses over into other industries as easily as Lin Xu.

But since some customers liked it, Liao Jinming had no choice but to say:

"Don't worry, everyone, we will serve this dish created by Mr. Lin Xu in Building 2 as soon as possible. At the same time, everyone is welcome to try other dishes in Building 2."

Well, this Lin Xu is the consultant invited by Building No. 2.

Then let Xie Baomin in Building 2 have a headache.

Director Liao used an upside-down golden hook and kicked the ball to Xie Baomin, who was sitting in the audience eating melon.

At this moment.

Lin Xu was chatting with Wei Qian and Guo Xinghai.

Suddenly the system prompt sounded in my mind:

"The host relied on his cooking skills to conquer the leaders of Diaoyutai, completed the side mission [Famous State Guesthouse], and won a draw for a perfect braised dish. Do you want to draw a draw immediately?"

I go!

It turns out that being named by the leaders of Diaoyutai is equivalent to making your hotel famous.

Lin Xu was a little overjoyed.

I thought I could complete this task only after the game.

At this moment, Dundun, the little drawing expert, was not around. He suppressed the idea of ​​drawing immediately and planned to hold Dundun for a draw after the game was over.

The dishes rewarded by the system are actually pretty good.

But some are not suitable for the store, while others can help the store make a lot of money.

In order not to waste.

That can only be done with the help of Dundun.

After the scores came out, the next two contestants were eliminated and ranked fourth and fifth respectively according to their scores.

Lin Xu, Guo Xinghai and Wei Qian entered the finals to compete for the championship, runner-up and third place.

On the advisory board side.

Ever since Lin Xu made the dishes.

The smile on Uncle Gao's face never stopped.

"Lao Gao, does this kid really make you look good?"

"The craftsmanship is really great. Even we, under these conditions, may not be able to make such a dish to break the game."

Combining the two dishes is not difficult.

Dragon beard cake is not difficult either.

The hard part is how to bring them together.

These old people wanted to ask Lin Xu what he thought at that time.

In such a short time and with such limited ingredients, we came up with such a brilliant idea. It’s really amazing!

"The future life is terrible!"

Off stage.

After hearing the score, Shen Jiayue was so excited that she hugged Dundun and kissed her several times.

This little guy was so annoyed that he jumped directly into Geng Lele's arms.

"You are my Xubao's son, my son. What's wrong with me, a mother, kissing you so many times? You're still hiding!"

Shen Jiayue tugged on Dundun's ears unhappily.

Chen Yan on the side said:

"You may be a stepmother, that's why it doesn't want to see you, and even me, the aunt, is disliked by it."

Shen Jiayue:? ? ? ? ? ?

You always ravage others, but now you blame me?

soon.

The finals are about to begin.

After the ingredients on the shelves were replaced, Geng Lishan announced:

“The requirements for the finals are very simple. Make a dish within forty minutes, with no limit on taste, no limit on type, no limit on ingredients, no limit on techniques... Please let the three contestants use your full strength and leave no regrets. Game start!"

These words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally I can let go and do whatever I want.

After the game starts.

Wei Gan, who likes to cook pork, first picked a piece of pork butt meat, and then selected seasonings and ingredients such as bean paste and chili peppers. It looked like he was going to cook twice-cooked pork, a famous dish in Sichuan cuisine.

It's Guo Xinghai's turn to choose.

He looked at pig intestines, squab, and several kinds of fresh seafood, but in the end he chose a piece of pork and a pineapple.

"Old Grasshopper, is your grandson planning to make sweet and sour meat?"

Uncle Gao asked curiously.

There are many dishes in Cantonese cuisine that can score high marks. How can this child choose a relatively home-cooked dish?

Guo Jichang smiled and said:

"When this kid learned to cook with me, the first dish he learned was sweet and sour pork. Now he chooses to cook this dish, which means he has not forgotten his original intention."

It is such a meaningful dish.

It seems that this finals will be even more exciting.

"Lao Gao, what will your apprentice choose to do?"

This question really stumped him.

There are really many dishes at the apprenticeship club.

Just pick one and you'll get a good score.

He thinks Lin Xu should make the sweet and sour pork which is a relatively extra bonus.

This dish looks good, tastes good, and is relatively easy to put on the plate.

Of course, stir-fried yellow beef is also good, and more suitable for such occasions.

But when he was thinking hard.

I saw Lin Xu taking a lotus root from the shelf, as well as white vinegar, white soy sauce and other condiments.

This is……

"Isn't that right, Lao Gao? Your apprentice wants to make cold dishes?"

"Isn't this a joke? Just now, the dessert dishes were able to pass because other contestants had too many restrictions. Now other contestants are making hot dishes. Your apprentice doesn't plan to win with cold dishes, right?"

"This kid is really pissing me off!"

"Lao Guo, hurry up and smile, your grandson's three consecutive championships are about to come true."

"..."

However, Uncle Gao didn't listen to these voices at all. He looked at the stage with joy in his heart, and the tears in his eyes were faintly visible:

"Good boy, what a good boy!"

And offstage.

When Xie Baomin saw the ingredients and seasonings selected by Lin Xu, a happy smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"Senior brother, Xu Bao chose lotus root. What kind of dish are you going to make?"

Shen Jiayue didn't understand.

I always feel that everyone chooses meat ingredients, but my Xubao only uses one lotus root.

In terms of momentum, it lost a bit.

Xie Baomin said:

"My junior brother is going to make the dish that our master became famous for in the Diaoyutai battle - white jade lotus root! I didn't expect that I made it in front of him once and he actually learned it."

The master, who was only in his twenties, was transferred from a state-owned hotel to Diaoyutai as a chef. Then he created this white jade lotus root dish and became famous from then on.

And in the cooking competition a few years ago.

Xie Baomin also relied on this dish to defeat Guo Weidong's Abalone Sauce with Liao Ginseng and won the championship in the middle-aged cooking competition, starting his five consecutive championships.

Now the junior brother actually chose this dish tacitly.

Master must be feeling happy, right?

If he wasn't worried about being regarded as a fool, Xie Baomin really wanted to stand up and shout to Lin Xu, "Come on!"

White jade lotus root?

Both Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan have eaten this dish.

The ultimate crisp texture and taste are still unforgettable to this day.

If it were this dish...

Then maybe we can actually win this game.

"Brother-in-law will definitely win. After all, didn't I say that people with good looks will not have bad luck!"

Geng Lele next to him blinked:

"Lao Tzu? Which Lao Tzu?"

Mr. Chen pointed at himself:

"I!"

In the live broadcast room.

Netizens launched a heated debate on Lin Xu's choice.

"I won the last round by taking the wrong side of the sword. Isn't it going to be the wrong side again this round?"

"In cooking competitions, cold dishes are a points deduction."

"Then how could the plain chicken win last year? Isn't that also a cold dish?"

"You don't expect lotus roots to taste like boiled chicken, do you?"

"I just believe that Boss Lin can win the championship. It doesn't matter what dish he chooses."

"I also believe in him. With such a high level of cooking skills, even if he likes to have fun, he will still be able to do it according to the occasion."

"..."

In such doubts and expectations.

Lin Xu calmly took the lotus root and started peeling it.

After peeling, put the lotus root into water with white vinegar and wash it twice to prevent oxidation and discoloration.

Then he would pick up a kitchen knife and start slicing.

Lotus root is porous.

Cutting into even slices requires a lot of effort.

Because every time a hole is cut, an empty knife will appear, which can easily cause the kitchen knife's edge to deviate.

If it weren't for the blessing of perfect techniques.

Lin Xu almost cut his hand several times just now.

On the judges' bench.

Geng Lishan looked at Lin Xu who was cutting lotus roots with some confusion.

There are so many chicken, duck, fish and other ingredients to choose from, why did you choose lotus root?

Are you ready to beat the hot stir-fried meat dishes with cold ingredients?

I don’t quite understand this kid’s choice.

A judge next to him whispered:

"Throughout the entire history of modern cuisine, lotus root dishes were attracted by a cold lotus root dish when the Japanese Prime Minister visited China. He still remembered it after returning and wrote it in his memoirs..."

Geng Lishan was stunned by these words, and then he remembered this beautiful conversation.

It seems that the dish was made by the chef of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

This little friend doesn’t want to replicate that dish, does he?

Geng Lishan once listed several major regrets, including the legendary lotus root salad.

He didn't even know the name of the dish.

But after hearing about that beautiful story, I couldn't forget it.

"I've also heard of that dish, called white jade lotus root. The leaders of several countries even wanted to eat this dish before they came. I heard it's a reserved dish in Building 2."

White jade lotus root?

A reserved dish in Building 2?

Geng Lishan's breath froze.

Little friend Lin Xu is participating in the competition on behalf of Building No. 2.

Could it be that he...

Do you really want to make this white jade lotus root dish?

On the advisory board side.

I saw Lin Xu cutting the lotus root into thin slices with a knife.

The group of old masters gradually stopped smiling.

"Lao Gao, isn't this kid going to make white jade lotus root silk?"

"It should be, look at the pride in Lao Gao's eyebrows."

"Damn! What else is there to compare with? Back then, even I... no, not just me, we all seemed to have suffered from this dish..."

Off stage.

When Xie Baomin was watching his junior brother chopping vegetables, he realized that Guo Weidong had sat beside him at some point.

"Lao Xie, is your junior brother going to make white jade lotus root silk?"

Xie Baomin said with a smile:

"That's right. He chose these ingredients and seasonings and couldn't do anything else if he wanted to."

Guo Weidong asked without giving up:

"This dish requires so much knife skills, how can he learn it at such a young age?"

"Dongdong, cooking is not only about hard work, but also about talent. If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it either... What are you going to drink tonight? I'll prepare the wine in advance."

Guo Weidong sighed:

"You'd better tell me where to eat first..."

Xie Baomin pointed to the stage:

"What do you think about letting my junior brother cook for you in his shop?"

"Okay, I'll bring Xinghai over tonight to have a good taste of the champion's craftsmanship."

Put aside other dishes.

The sweet and sour pork cooked by my nephew might really struggle.

But as soon as the white jade lotus root silk came out.

There is basically no possibility of a comeback.

After all, this dish is for entertaining distinguished guests. From the presentation to the taste to the texture, everything is impeccable.

Half an hour later.

When Lin Xu neatly placed the prepared white jade lotus root shreds on the plate, the system's prompt sounded again:

"The host cooks Master Gao Peisheng's original dishes, triggering the master-disciple task [Passing on the Fire]: The host is asked to learn more than three perfect-level original dishes from Master Gao Peisheng within one year. After completion, he will be rewarded with two lottery draws of perfect-level lost dishes. Perfect A lottery draw for top-level cooking techniques."

Lin Xu: "..."

It turns out that Master has more than one original dish.

What are you waiting for?

Study, study, study!

While he was mentally stimulating himself, it was game time.

The staff delivered the dishes prepared by the contestants to the table.

The judges stood up one after another.

Start scoring!
