Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

After the judges successfully tasted the cold tomato beef brisket, their original contemptuous attitude disappeared in an instant.

Cooking is a skill that needs to be practiced. Although different chefs have their own strengths, there is no such thing as a chef who is not good at cooking and can make a certain dish delicious.

Therefore, being able to cook tomato beef brisket is enough to show that Hanshi is qualified to compete with Mingting Que.

This is not a competition without suspense as most of them thought, but a competition for the most exciting and top-notch meals.

Thinking of this, the judges' eyes lit up with great anticipation.

Only a few people had expressions on their faces that slowly became tangled at this moment.

Do you really want to manipulate the voting in such a meal contest?

…

Qi Han took the secret beef tenderloin served by Chef Song who looked nervous.

"Chef Qi, please advise." Chef Song did not call Qi Han "Boss Qi", but "chef". There was respect in his eyes and his expression became more solemn.

"Okay." Qi Han nodded and began to look at the secret beef tenderloin in front of him.

The secret beef tenderloin is to cut a palm-sized beef tenderloin into finger-thick slices. After special cooking, some kind of reddish-brown sauce is poured on the surface. Finally, it is placed on a white dinner plate and surrounded by

A little embellishment.

It's very similar to Blue Star's Western-style steak.

But Qi Han negated this after using his fork to gently skim off some of the reddish-brown sauce on the surface, revealing the slightly browned surface of the beef tenderloin.

This dish just looks like steak, but it is not fried in a pan, but has its own special cooking process.

This burnt brown color looks more like it was baked over an open fire.

I don't know how it tastes.

Thinking of this, Qi Han gently cut off a small piece with a table knife.

Beef tenderloin is the area with the least connective tissue in beef. It does not have too many tendons, so the meat is softer.

A good beef tenderloin is easy to cut with a table knife, and it is also easier to chew.

Therefore, many steak introductions will mention that filet is the most suitable beef cut for the elderly and children.

The secret beef tenderloin in front of you is very consistent with this characteristic of beef tenderloin. The cut section has a neat and even light pink color.

This is a sign of the abundance of myoglobin in the beef. If all the light pink color is cooked into the grayish white color of mature meat, the value and taste of the beef will be greatly reduced.

Without hesitation, Qi Han put this piece of beef tenderloin into his mouth and began to chew it gently.

With every bite he chewed, a special flavor that he had never tasted slowly flowed out from the cracks in the texture of the beef tenderloin, infiltrating the beef tenderloin in his mouth.

Gravy?

No, it's not just gravy.

Although the beef tenderloin is indeed tender and juicy, it will never be so juicy.

Qi Han raised his eyebrows slightly, suddenly having some enlightenment in his heart.

It's stewed.

This beef tenderloin also went through a stew process before being grilled over an open fire.

This stewing process must not take long. It simply allows the special flavor of the stewing soup to penetrate into the meat along the loose and scattered muscle texture of the beef tenderloin, and then grills it over an open fire to turn the surface of the meat into a slightly burnt state.

The burnt brown color locks in the juice inside.

During the secondary heating process, the stewed soup locked inside is continuously mixed with the beef tenderloin under the stimulation of heat, and finally the special delicious flavor is completely integrated with the meat flavor.

It sounds easy, but in fact it is not simple. First of all, the beef cannot be overcooked. Its best state is actually medium-rare or medium-rare. It must be stewed first and then grilled. The difficulty of the heat and doneness must be ensured.

It will be higher, and it will take a long time of research to find the trick.

On the other hand, if you want to instantly lock the juice that has been collected during stewing during fire roasting, the temperature control of the flame needs to be very precise. Based on the current level of kitchen utensils in the Sun and Moon Continent, you probably need to use a soul guide to do so.

Control flame temperature?

This is just Qi Han's rough guess. There must be some key links that he cannot understand at once.

The special soup has a rich beef aroma, with salty, sour and sweet flavors slowly blending in. The complex and changeable flavor levels are somewhat like the fish flavor of Sichuan cuisine. These flavors blend perfectly with the beef.

Together, the resulting taste is particularly wonderful.

After taking one gulp, Qi Han's face became a little more solemn.

You really can’t underestimate the world’s heroes.

Although the tomato beef brisket is not the most delicious dish he has mastered, it is one of the first dishes he has mastered. After such a long period of practice and understanding, the taste of this tomato beef brisket is naturally different from the past.

Although it had already reached perfection when it was launched, Qi Han's basic skills are now stronger and he can naturally improve the taste of this dish.

Under such circumstances, this secret beef tenderloin was still able to be close to tomato sirloin, which even Qi Han was quite surprised.

so…

Such delicious beef tenderloin cannot be wasted.

Qi Han quickly moved his fork and knife, finishing all the secret beef tenderloin on the plate, and then touched his belly with satisfaction.

Thirty percent full.

He was actually looking forward to what Ming Ting Que's next two dishes would be.

"The judges have finished their meal, and the secret voting will begin next!" Director Zhang spoke loudly, interrupting Qi Han's thoughts.

Each judge has cards with Ming Ting Que and Han Shi written on them on their seats. These cards are placed face up and put into the ballot box by the judges. Except for the judges themselves, no one else knows who the judges voted for.

After the forty-nine judges have finished voting, the counting of votes will begin. Since the number of judges is an odd number and there are no abstentions, there must be one party with higher votes.

The one with the higher number of votes is the winner of this round.

There was nothing wrong with the rules, but as the counting began, everyone in the venue began to look strange.

The votes for Ming Ting Que and Han Shi on the first theme were closely matched during the entire voting process. After the forty-eight votes were cast, it appeared that each side had twenty-four votes.

situation.

So the final result will be one vote difference?

Who wins and who loses?

Wu Henian frowned slightly. Theoretically, Hanshi's tomato beef brisket should be more delicious than the secret beef tenderloin, but the difference between the two is not big. The secret beef tenderloin also has the advantage of first move, and it also has the golden name of Mingtingque

The deterrent of signs.

Taken together, it’s hard to say whether the two will win or lose.

He looked at Ye Ansheng, the president of the Catering Association who was in charge of counting tickets, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Why did this guy wait so long to get the last vote?

Everyone in the field held their breath at this moment. Even Qi Han became a little nervous. Zhao Yangfan on the side had already held his breath and his heartbeat accelerated.

If the last vote goes to Hanshi, it means that Mingtingque loses this game, and it is basically impossible for Mingtingque to win the next fruit-themed game. If this is the case, Mingtingque will really have to win.

Lost.

Therefore, the one under the greatest pressure on the field is Zhao Yangfan.

Ye Ansheng looked at everyone's murderous eyes, smiled awkwardly, and finally stopped showing off, turning over the last card in his hand, "Ming Ting Que, one vote!"

Zhao Yangfan's body trembled and he managed to stand still, his expression instantly softened.

This round is won!

Immediately, he felt a little disappointed again.

A narrow victory by one vote.

If I hadn't made some arrangements myself, I'm afraid Ming Ting Que wouldn't have been able to win this round.

Ming Ting Que won the first game, and now the pressure is on Han Shi.

Qi Han sighed softly, feeling a little reluctant, but didn't say anything.

There is indeed not much difference between the two dishes. The judges have their own preferences. It is normal for me to lose one vote.

But in this case, the next two topics need to be prepared more seriously.

Not to mention fruits, but also vegetables...

Maybe I need to change a dish.
