    Zhao Zeming watched the movement on the stage and stood stiffly on the spot.

    When the peony fish slices came on stage, he could still keep smiling.Modeling dishes have their own shortcomings. He doesn't think a modeling dish is suitable for this kind of competition, not to mention that Jiang Ci's production time is very urgent.

    Seeing Wang Zongxuan's expression, he knew that the other party thought the same way.

    However, as the judges began to taste, the assistant next to him was completely psychedelic: "Why do they have such expressions?"

    "The fish fillets are fried like that for shape, is it delicious?"

    "No, can she make it in time? It will take at least two hours for these fish fillets, where did she get the time!"

    The assistant chattered, uncontrollably amazed.Zhao Zeming clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "Shut up."

    The assistant looked at Zhao Zeming unexpectedly, the other party was always in a stable mood, he had never heard such words from Zhao Zeming.

    Zhao Zeming: "Be quiet, it might be photographed."

    "Oh." The assistant nodded without further words.

    Zhao Zeming continued to watch.

    Compared with the peony fish fillets that took a lot of effort, the beef rib roast in the second course was much rougher, and it seemed that it was only seasoned and grilled.

    Zhao Zeming relaxed his clenched fist slightly.

    Perhaps it was because she was pressed for time and couldn't handle the beef rib more delicately.

    This kind of barbecue can reach the level of ordinary deliciousness just by making it casually, but it is far from the top-level deliciousness, and the knowledge inside is far greater.

    Compared with the three sets of ducks, which are also used as meat dishes, it is obvious which one is better and which one can better reflect the cooking skills.

    However, the judges' reaction exceeded his expectations.

    The surprise on everyone's faces was exactly the same as when they tasted peony fish fillets. The simple-looking barbecue also made these well-informed chefs not calm.

    The audience before the live broadcast saw the same picture——

    【What did Jiang Jiang do?The judge seemed to want to rush down to question her!】

    [The expression of the judge in the middle is so shocked!Dementia.jpg]

    [This is the first time I saw Master Huang Zongxuan eating hard... 0 mouth 0!】

    In the auditorium, Chairman Zhao looked at the big screen and couldn't control his excitement: "Boss Jiang's fairy chef should be stable..."

    Qi Yan didn't answer, but silently looked at the big screen in front of the arena with soft eyes.

    The phone vibrated, Qi Yan saw the caller and connected.

    Qi Yan: "Have you seen Lu Li?"

    "Yes, Master Lu is quite pitiful, he is sicker than Mi Ting." Ye Hongliang replied, "I asked his former boss, and I heard that his son has owed huge debts in the past two years, and life is very difficult.Yes, I even borrowed money from the boss, and I don’t know why this time I have the leisure to come to City B to watch the competition.”

    Qi Yan raised his eyes and looked at the girls on the field.

    Maybe not leisurely.

    After a moment of silence, Qi Yan said: "First look for the ingredients that Mi Ting used last night, and see where Master Lu got them from."

    ...

    The beef stew received very enthusiastic feedback from the judges.

    This dish has a strong aroma, and the host stood on the stage, smelling the smell was very smoky.After seeing the host's overly expectant eyes, one of the judges hesitated for a while, and handed him a piece of beef rib for him to taste.

    After the host took a bite, his face was flushed, and his expression was unprecedentedly excited.

    "This is the level of 'Fairy Chef'?!" The host murmured, "I have eaten the best beef, so why doesn't it taste like this? Have I never eaten good beef in my life?"

    "That's a big difference!" The judge next to him said, "In terms of spices and grilling methods, Chef Jiang's dish is quite different from Western-style steak, and of course it tastes different from what you usually eat."

    "This beef is selected from the local Luxi yellow beef. The muscle fiber is evenly rich in fat, and the meat is tender and delicious. The seasoning also uses traditional spices, the aroma of dried red pepper, cinnamon, star anise, pepper, and watercress. Before roastingIt goes into the meat, and you can smell the aroma before the fire is fired."

    "The most fascinating thing is this spicy aroma, which is spicy but not spicy. It has a strong aroma and is compelling. Those who like smoky taste can't escape its temptation." The judges became intoxicated while talking.

    The audience who heard the judges' description became even more impatient. For a while, the screen was filled with overlapping barrages, and even the live broadcast became stuck.

    It took the host a long time to come back to his senses. Seeing the director's crazy expression, he shivered, and hurriedly said, "Chef Jiang's third dish is a vegetarian dish, a wild vegetable roll."

    Another dish with a straightforward name and simple shape.

    On the smooth disk, a row of emerald-colored plain rolls was lined up obliquely.The beancurd skin is so thin and transparent that it looks like a layer of gauze wraps the wild vegetables inside, and the hot soup is poured on the outside.The wild vegetable roll is half soaked in the soup, half exposed, and the soup is still steaming.

    In the greenery, there are golden red ham pieces and bright red goji berries.

    The judges relaxed a little. After experiencing the amazing peony fish fillet and beef stew, the wild vegetable roll in front of them was just right for them.

    According to the eating habits of Chinese food, after tasting big fish and big meat, some fresh vegetables are needed to reconcile.

    The judges each picked up a wild vegetable roll.

    Different from the previous two dishes, the wild vegetable roll has a fresh mountain scent, which makes people feel like they are in the grass... The sky is clear and the sun is shining, and the wild vegetables are moistened by the rain.Drill out and grow vigorously.

    Walking in such mountains and fields, people's energy is different.The exhaustion and irritability of life are swept away, the numb sensibility is revived, people's perception becomes more sensitive, and even the sense of taste seems to be sharper.

    When you bite open the bean curd skin, the first thing that flows out is the broth that contains the taste of wild vegetables.

    The chrysanthemum fragrance of Malantou is soaked in the soup, and gently slides down the esophagus. The wild vegetables are cut into small pieces, and after being fully steamed, they have become moist and soft. During the exhalation, the faint chrysanthemum fragrance slowly diffuses...

    Immediately afterwards, the teeth bit into the broken pieces of the mountain bamboo shoots. The wild bamboo shoots had an outstanding umami taste, and the bamboo shoots were full of the soup.

    Continue to chew, the elm ears are plump and plump, the tip of the lotus root is crisp, tender and sweet, and the bracken that occasionally bite is smooth and delicious, and several flavors are harmoniously blended together.

    It is obviously a vegetarian dish, but the aroma does not need to be weak like the big dish just now, but it makes people feel drunk, one bite after another, it is impossible to stop.

    The judges closed their eyes intoxicated. It was almost late autumn, but they seemed to be pulled back to the beginning of spring in this taste, and even the air around them was faintly stained with greenery...

    The expressions of the judges conveyed the deliciousness of the wild vegetable rolls to the hearts of the audience——

    [After watching for so long, the expressions of the judges are the most vivid in the audience...]

    [So how delicious is it?I can't imagine TTATT at all!】

    [Let me give you an accurate statement, can Feng Qianguan serve these dishes?I don't believe that I can't get lucky even if I grab the number every day!】

    【Bite the boiled Chinese cabbage in my mouth and shed tears QAQ】

    [All are wild vegetables that can be obtained in the village!Love it!Ahhh I'm going to try this too!】

    Finally came the last dish.

    "The next thing is Chef Jiang's last dish—chicken bean curd!" The host introduced enthusiastically.

    On the table, a row of porcelain bowls are lined up, the inner porcelain is white and shiny, and the exterior is decorated with delicate blue and white patterns.Each porcelain bowl is filled with clear, transparent, light and almost colorless clear chicken soup.

    The chicken soup is well-insulated, warm and palatable. Viewed from the side, white steam rises from the bowl like fairy mist.Looking from the front, you can see minced chicken that looks like bean curd lying in the chicken soup, white and light, like clouds and fog.

    The most colorful part of the whole dish is the two red wolfberries lit on top of the "bean curd".

    Light amber chicken soup, white "bean curd", bright red wolfberry.

    The whole dish seems to be composed of only these three items, which can be said to be light and simple.

    However, anyone who has seen the making process of Jiang Ci knows that this dish is no less difficult than the other three dishes, and the process is even more complicated than peony fish fillet.

    In order to achieve enough fragrance, Jiang Ci swept the soup five times with different minced meat and bones, and all the essence of the raw materials were melted into the soup. At this time, the soup seemed light and colorless, but its strong fragrance had diffused to the entire judging tableDuring this time, the host couldn't help showing an intoxicated expression.

    In addition, the minced chicken used to make "bean curd" also took a lot of effort.The minced chicken must be finely ground without leaving a trace of fascia, and then go through processes such as sieving and whipping, adding egg white and water, until the meat becomes a puddle of fine and smooth meat paste.

    The minced meat produced in this way can be slowly solidified into a loose "bean curd" shape in the soup, floating in the clear soup like clouds, with the shape of tender tofu and extremely soft taste, but also with a rich and delicious meat flavor.

    The host obviously knew something about this famous dish, and he also noticed Jiang Ci's hard work. To put it simply, he burst into tears during the live broadcast.

    [This thing is similar to boiled cabbage, right?The kung fu is under the hood, it looks very bland, but it tastes so delicious.】

    [I only care about one thing, will Feng Qianguan be there?】

    [I quickly went to a nearby Sichuan restaurant to satisfy my hunger, I really can't watch this during lunch!】

    【Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooish】

    On the stage, the judges picked up the porcelain spoons, poured chicken soup out of the bowl, and drank it.

    The moment the warm and hot soup enters the mouth, the rich and mellow delicious taste sweeps over the palate. The old hen, old duck, pork bone, and the best Jinhua ham, the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves are slowly dissolved into the soup during the stew.The delicacy condensed from hours of slow cooking is for the explosion of this moment!

    Fragrant, delicious, warm and warm, this mellow taste makes people's bones crisp, like a cruise ship returning to the harbor, like migratory birds returning to their nest at dusk, the judges relaxed their eyebrows in comfort.

    It's not the kind of surprise that you taste accidentally, but the deliciousness that you are willing to eat for a long time.

    try again-

    Dig down with the spoon, and take up half a spoonful of white chickpeas.The minced chicken is fluffy and delicate, and it is connected into a loose piece in the soup. When you dig it lightly, it is like a piece of marshmallow being torn off.

    Put it in your mouth and sip it lightly. The taste of chickpea curd is unbelievably soft, like a cloud melting in your mouth.The pure white minced chicken is not bland, but full of rich and fragrant chicken soup. After seasoning, the salty aroma of ham and the meaty aroma of big bones all penetrate into the minced meat, which is full of aroma and delicious.Makes me want to swallow my tongue...

    At this moment, the voices in the judges' seat stopped, as if they had entered some kind of vacuum.

    Every judge tasted the amazing taste in his mouth gently.

    The aroma of chickpeas is too mysterious, it seems that even a little distraction will make them miss this delicious part.Moreover, this strong fragrance seems to have a strong power. It tastes mellow and not too irritating, but the fragrance overflows through the mouth and nose, making the whole brain seem to be only left with the signal from the sense of taste.

    After tens of seconds of silence, a voice finally erupted from the judges' seat——

    "!!!"

    "This, this is chickpea flower?!"

    "How did you do it?!"

    Huang Zongxuan smacked his lips lightly, tasting the soup in his mouth, his lips were trembling because of the surging emotions: "This, this taste..."

    Looking at him, Zheng Kun seemed to have the same feeling, his eyes were soft: "Did you think of something?"

    Huang Zongxuan nodded. Among the judges present, he and Zheng Kun were of the same generation. When they were young, they tasted the delicacies of famous chefs.

    "My master is good at cooking Sichuan cuisine. The chicken bean curd he made back then made people queue up for three days in the city. It was the best chick bean curd I have ever eaten, and it was this dish that made me decide to followHe learns."

    Huang Zongxuan's cloudy eyes carried long memories, his voice was old and gentle, full of moving nostalgia.

    "Since then, I have studied for decades and finally made a good dish. However, I always feel that I am one step behind the master. Since his death, I have never tasted chickpeas like this."

    "Yes, I remember the taste made by Master Yan, and that taste can be remembered forever." Zheng Kun's eyes also showed nostalgia.

    That is the past that they cannot go back to. Food can leave memory, and when the person who made the food leaves, this memory will gradually fade away.

    "I'm sorry, I lost my composure." Huang Zongxuan closed his eyes, calmed down, and turned the topic back to the scene.

    "The taste of the chickpea curd under Chef Jiang's hand is not the same as that of my master. But I have never tasted the delicious and mellow feeling under the hands of a third person. Even when I made it myself, it was so short of breath."

    "It can be said that in this dish, Chef Jiang definitely outperformed me as a judge."

    As soon as Huang Zongxuan said this, there was an uproar on the field.

    From everyone's point of view, Huang Zongxuan may not be the best chef in the audience, but he is almost the most skilled chef in the audience!

    When he said that, didn't he mean... this little girl in her twenties is even better than him?!

    how is this possible?

    But why is it impossible.Everyone has already tasted this dish, and after tasting it, you can’t say "no". Can anyone really make chickpeas better than this?This question is more difficult to answer than the previous one.

    The host was stunned by the sound of small discussions on the field, and for a moment didn't know how to answer the conversation. In fact, half of his mind was still subconsciously remembering the taste of the chickpea flower, and he was so greedy.

    Off the court, after hearing Wang Zongxuan's words clearly, Zhao Zeming's face turned pale.

    ...

    Seeing the expressions of the judges, the contestants off the field already had a premonition.

    Twenty minutes later, the huge venue fell into silence again, and the lights dimmed, leaving only a beam of chasing light sweeping all the way from the end of the venue, accompanied by more and more passionate drums, hitting the big screen in front of it.

    In the darkness, the host's voice sounded.

    "Finally, the final moment has come. Next, we will announce the scores of all the contestants in the finals of this 'Fairy Chef'!"

    At this moment, everyone held their breaths.

    "The twelfth place, Liu Qingmin, with four dishes: Shangchao with Scallop, Yubi Monkey Head, Sixi Fish Roll, Braised Mullet Egg Soup, with a total score of 87.25 points."

    "Eleventh place, He Chu, four dishes braised stinky mandarin fish, Huangshan stewed pigeon, Yipin pot, tiger skin tofu, with a total score of 88.79 points."

    "Tenth place, Liang Ming..."

    As the host announced one by one, the expressions of the contestants in the audience changed rapidly.

    Emotional, tense, lucky, ecstatic... Everyone is looking forward to reading their names a little later, and a little later.

    "Seventh place, Hong Lang, four dishes including golden soup with sea cucumber, braised oxtail, peony jelly, bamboo shoot liver paste soup..."

    "Sixth place..."

    The score was displayed on the big screen, and Hong Lang stared at the one with the worst score, his eyes tearing open.After four years, he missed the "Fairy Chef".

    "the fifth place……"

    "fourth place……"

    With the dust settled on the winner of the fourth place, there are only three people left on the field who have not yet won the ranking.

    The eyes of the audience, including the attention of all the audience before the live broadcast, were all focused on the people who did not get the ranking.

    Jiang Ci looked up at the big screen in front of her intently, with no sign of nervousness on her expression.

    It was the same for Zhao Zeming, the smile on Wen Wen's face disappeared, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

    Another skinny chef couldn't hold back his excitement and covered his face with trembling hands.

    "Let's give warm applause and congratulations for winning the top three places in this 'Fairy Chef'!" The host said emotionally, "The third place, Chef Tao Dong! Four dishes..."

    The skinny chef put down his hands abruptly, with a half-smile expression on his face, and was hugged by his ecstatic assistant after a while.

    "Second place, Zhao Zeming! Four dishes including Huadiao boiled drunken crab, three sets of duck, minced chicken and golden bamboo shoots, Buddha jumping over the wall, with a total score of 96.21 points."

    Zhao Zeming stood there blankly, with a shocked and bewildered expression, letting the light hit him, paused for a few seconds, and then smiled stiffly at the camera in front of him.

    The last moment has come—

    "Congratulations to Jiang Ci, the winner of the first place in this year's Immortal Kitchen! The four dishes include peony fish fillet, beef stew, wild vegetable roll, and chickpea flower. The total score is 99.78 points! Perfect!"

    After chasing the light and shaking it, the bright white beam illuminates the work area where Jiang Ci is located.

    All eyes focused on her for an instant.

    At the meeting point of everyone's eyes, Jiang Ci looked up at the big screen on the judges' seat, with a smile on his lips, and there was no hidden pure joy in his expression.

    The most eye-catching scene of the Fairy Chef Contest is here.

    At the same time, this picture was transmitted to all parts of the world through the network cable, and the colorful barrage quickly swiped across the screen until Jiang Ci and the entire picture were covered.

    [Congratulations to Jiang Jiang!!!】

    [It's unbelievable, the UP master of the food tutorial I follow is actually the number one fairy chef?!?!】

    【Ah ah ah ah ah!Boss Jiang is great!!!Feng Qianguan How about expanding it???】

    [Too strong, too strong, what kind of god-level culinary skills is this!】

    Feng Qianguan, after a short period of silence, burst into cheers——

    "I, am I right?"

    "Boss Jiang won!!!"

    in the audience.

    Chairman Zhao stared blankly at the screen, but didn't come back to his senses for a while.

    After many years without a "Fairy Chef" in the culinary world of Province A, this year not only appeared... but also won the first place in one fell swoop.

    And Qi Yan looked at the screen in the field from a distance, his expression was not surprised, his eyes were full of tenderness.

    The author has something to say:

    It's almost the end!
