If you become a monster, you will succeed

"Art, this is already a work of art. Oh my god, the swelling and twisting. For a moment, I even suspected that the Monkey King player had caught ten real dragons and put them into the oil pan!"

The host's exaggerated voice spread throughout the audience, while Feng Xue pulled out ten dragons, drained the oil, and then tapped the acupuncture points one by one.

With the use of Sunflower's acupuncture pointer, the state of the ten pieces of Tenglong meat was fixed at this moment. It does not need to be preserved too much and can maintain the best tasting period of four hours.

This time seems very short, but for most pasta that needs to be eaten right out of the pot, it is already very long.

As Tamron, which is known as the biggest work in this competition, was sent to the judging area, the final time of the competition finally came to an end.

With the sound of "Duang——", in the middle of the brightly lit square under the already dark sky, the five judges began to taste today's works in order of completion.

There are more than 130 contestants in this competition, but the speed of evaluation is much faster than expected.

The tasting session is conducted by five Dragon Kings at the same time. Everyone tastes the dishes assigned to him in order. Only when there is a dish that makes him shine, will the five Dragon Kings conduct further tasting.

However, most of the works, after being tasted by Dragon King, will be directly rejected without even evaluating them.

The Dragon Gate Pastry Competition, as its name suggests, is like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, where the strong transform into dragons and soar, while the weak fall to the bottom.

Even if the chefs who come to compete have no intention of winning the championship, they are more or less hoping to get a comment from the Dragon Kings in order to skyrocket in value. Since they have this purpose, they must also bear the risk that their work is not good enough and will be ignored.

"Number 73 is already the dish for the seventy-third contestant, but the five judges still haven't made any comments, and even the dish that can make them take a second bite has not appeared. He is worthy of the title of Dragon King. Food connoisseurs, it’s not easy to get by easily!”

The host was a little embarrassed and made sarcastic remarks. Although in the post-editing, she could skip this boring tasting with a few simple shots, but at the scene, she still needed to fill the awkward silence.

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed and she said loudly:

"Oh, Mr. Guangqing took the second bite for the first time! This is, oh, the 76th completed work of Qingjiang Pastry King - Mr. Li Gen, Linglong Crab Dumplings!"

At this point, the host wanted to brag about this work, but Guang Qing put down his chopsticks and immediately shut up. As a judge, Mr. Guang Qing also looked at the crystal clear, white and gold steamed dumplings in front of him. Taking advantage of the situation, he said:

“The appearance and color of this crab dumpling are very good, the dough is rolled out very well, and the texture is uniform. After cooling slightly, it not only does not reduce the taste, but also adds a bit of flavor because of the slightly hard texture. There is a faint and elegant aroma in the filling, which makes every bite leave an aftertaste inside..."

Following the comments from the Guangqing judges, the smile on the face of the Qingjiang noodle king named Li Gen became brighter and brighter. But just when the corners of his mouth were almost split to the base of his ears, Guangqing spit out two very serious words. word——

"but!"

In an instant, the smile disappeared, and Guang Qing's words came:

"Do you know what it means if you don't give up ginger food?"

"..."

There was a trace of struggle on Li Gen's face, as if he wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Guang Qing:

"Pairing crab with ginger is not only a combination of taste, but also for health reasons. The taste of this crab dumpling is really good. Adding ginger may indeed destroy the balance, but I didn't eat the perilla or pepper. Although we are well-trained, eating crabs will not cause a cold stomach due to the ingredients, and the conference also provided young ginger between each dish to reset the taste, but this is not a reason for you to ignore the compatibility."

After saying that, without waiting for the other four Dragon Kings to comment, he pushed the plate aside and picked up the next dish.

"The judges of Guangqing are really strict. After all, the pastry competition is not a banquet competition. Each pastry is a single product and cannot be supplemented by any factors other than the single product. Therefore, those who use cold ingredients, And because the competition has prepared ginger slices but not the contestants with ginger, I am afraid they will all be eliminated! Ginger, perilla, pepper, these are common stomach-warming ingredients. When eating cold foods such as seafood, viewers, Don’t forget it!”

The host was chattering there, but the five judges were like emotionless food-tasting machines, tasting the dishes in front of them one by one.

Judging from their evaluation results, this year's Pastry Competition was clearly unsatisfactory.

The ingredients were brought down one after another. Suddenly, their expressions were slightly startled, and an eye-catching fragrance suddenly wafted over.

As their eyes moved, they saw three steamed dumplings placed in front of Qin Hong, who was responsible for the work with the last number 2/7.

Facing the gazes of several colleagues, as the only female among the five judges, Qin Hong just looked at the steamed dumplings in front of her quietly.

This steamed dumpling is a classic [Yipin Steamed Dumpling], that is, the bottom is filled with meat filling, and the top dough is divided into three "pockets" to hold three colors of ingredients for matching.

As for the combination of ingredients, this classic steamed dumpling does not have many rules and requirements. It all depends on the personal combination, such as the traditional green pepper, carrot, black fungus with skullcap meat filling, and the trendy passion fruit, coconut, watermelon with fish paste filling. Wait, but if you really want to make it well, it can be said that it is crucial to control the flavor of each ingredient.

"It smells pretty good." I thought to myself, picked one up and brought it to my mouth, biting my teeth, and the light umami flavor mixed with a little spiciness poured into my mouth.

Yipin steamed dumplings not only require the four fillings to be uniform, but also each two or three fillings must be able to achieve a perfect combination. After all, it is impossible for a person to swallow a steamed dumpling directly in every bite, so every bite must be ensured. The ingredients are all delicious, which is the real success.

"Well, that's right. The orange-red salmon roe, the black one is black truffle, and it's seasoned with spicy flavor. So the aroma should be the yellow part?"

It's red, the tip of your tongue sweeps across the yellow stuffing, and a pungent taste of mustard spreads on your tongue, but it's not just mustard, but several kinds of vegetable purees mixed together and stuffed into steamed dumplings. After it's cooked, carefully stir in the wasabi puree to create this mixed spice with a fresh aroma.

Thinking of this, Qin Hong put the remaining "base" into his mouth. The tight fillings were chewed, mixed with the soft dough and mixed spices, and a strong flavor exploded instantly.
