Life is a Game

After carving the last fox, Freddy, Jiang Feng put down the white radish and knife.

All the characters in Peppa Pig have been neatly placed on the chopping board, and the competition time has passed for an hour and a half. The cooking time of chicken is much longer than that of pigeons. Jiang Feng leaned close to the steamer and smelled it , it feels almost there.

Turn on the fire and use the chicken broth to make the gravy.

Three minutes later, the eight-treasure chicken came out of the pan and thickened.

The color is very plain, the skin of Babao chicken is yellowish, the belly is bulging, the fragrance is tightly locked, and the appearance is not good.

Jiang Feng placed the first carved radish flowers on the edge of the pot for decoration, but Piggy Page's full set of animal radish carvings couldn't fit on it, so he put it on another plate and raised his hand to signal the staff.

"Please bring this plate up as well." Jiang Feng pointed to the plate of radish carvings and said, "Is there a knife on the judge's table? You need to use a knife to cut the chicken belly before eating this dish."

"Yes." The staff smiled perfunctorily, "The competition stipulates that each contestant can only cook one dish."

"This plate is a decoration and cannot be placed." Jiang Feng said, "Take it as a small gift for the judges."

staff member:? ? ?

The staff still served Jiang Feng's radish carvings. Anyway, the five wealthy judges didn't seem to be the ones who would operate in secret for a few pigs.

As soon as the dishes were served, Han Guishan said pleasantly: "I know how to eat this kind of dish, just cut open the chicken belly and eat the ingredients inside!"

Then Han Guishan looked at the other four judges.

Masters of Huaiyang cuisine, well-known chefs, chefs of famous restaurants.

He chooses to keep his mouth shut.

Tong Deyan cut open the eight-treasure chicken's belly with a knife.

The stuffing inside rolls out like jade beads. Chestnuts, scallops, ham and mushrooms are first drawn out, scattered on the chicken and in the thickening sauce. With the unique aroma of chicken and the fragrance of a variety of vegetarian fillings. The strong visual and taste impact instantly adds a lot to this dish.

"Vegetarian stuffing." Han Guishan was very satisfied. He was a little tired of eating so much chicken just now, and he needed some vegetarian relief at this time.

"The smell is so locked!" Tong Deyan sighed.

"Well, the basic skills are quite solid." Zhu Chang poked the chicken body with chopsticks, "The method of deboning the whole chicken is quite mature and experienced, and the chicken body is very complete."

"These radish carvings are quite interesting. What is this pig?" Pei Shenghua picked up Peppa Pig.

"Little Peppa Pig." Han Guishan said, "My son likes this one. He watches it every day, but he likes to eat it."

"Hey, this should be taken away. I'll take it home and give it to my son. He hasn't eaten vegetables for a long time. It's time for him to eat some radishes to clear his stomach."

Pei Shenghua:? ? ?

Cut open the chicken belly and eat it while it's hot, one spoon per person, Han Guishan was the last to do it, he just saw other people's actions before he realized that the sauce on the outside of this dish is not for decoration, but for dipping. There are also a few pigeon eggs buried under the vegetarian stuffing. The pigeon eggs are hidden in the innermost part to absorb the taste of various ingredients, plus their own umami taste, which is the most delicious.

However, Han Guishan didn't know how to do it. He was not interested in pigeon eggs and thought they were quail eggs. He only scooped up the chestnuts, scallops, lilies and mushrooms on them. There was still a piece of ham, but the spoon fell into the sauce when it was crooked.

At the entrance, the chestnuts are fragrant and glutinous, the scallops are fresh, the mushrooms are tender, the lily is light, the chicken is sweet and the gravy is delicious. Although it cannot be said to be full of five flavors, it can be called excellent.

Jiang Feng's cooking is still very reliable without overturning the car.

"That's right, it tastes a bit like Sun Lao's Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon!" Han Guishan sighed, taking another spoonful.

"Mr. Han has also eaten Sun Lao's eight-treasure chestnut pigeon?" Pei Shenghua asked with interest.

"Well, it's... ten years ago, I was lucky enough to eat in Jubaolou." Han Guishan did not reveal that Sun Guanyun had done the Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon at the Healthy Stir-Fry Restaurant before.

With a flick of a pen, Han Guishan continued to eat the eight-treasure chicken made by Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng's final score was 8.6 points, tied for second with Wu Minqi.

Zhang Guanghang's red wine stewed chicken was already a little cold, and the taste was not as good as before. Han Guishan quickly put it away and concentrated on eating the eight-treasure chicken. Pigeon eggs are delicious!"

No one paid any attention to him. Everyone was watching Ji Xue's movements. The pottery chicken she made was almost out of the pot.

Ji Xue squatted halfway, her nose parallel to the lid of the casserole, she leaned next to the casserole and closed her eyes to smell it carefully. After the Huadiao chicken is added with Huadiao wine, the cover cannot be opened. To judge the heat, you can only smell it closely. Those who cannot master the skills will not be able to smell anything.

Ji Xue closed her eyes and remained motionless. Time seemed to have stopped. The screen that belonged to her was no different from the still picture. Viewers who didn't understand would wonder if the screen was stuck.

At this critical moment, the unnamed stewed chicken contestant, who did not do well, raised his hand inappropriately, aggressively stealing the spotlight.

Adhering to the concept of scoring fairly, the four judges took a few tens of seconds to taste it, and after unanimously giving a low score, they continued to stare at the screen that belonged to Ji Xue.

Ji Xue opened her eyes.

She turned off the fire, waited for a while, and raised her hand to signal.

Except for Han Guishan who was devoting himself to eating Babao Chicken, the other four judges were all excited. They have all tasted the authentic Watan Huadiao Chicken. Mr. Tan is still making this dish in the store in his seventies. Chuangcai, like Sun Guanyun's Eight Treasure Chestnut Pigeon, can only be prepared by himself.

A year ago, with the death of Mr. Tan, the Watan Huadiao Chicken, which had amazed the major cuisines of flower growers for half a century, also fell, and many old gourmets never had the chance to taste this dish. Tan's Restaurant, once a well-known private restaurant in Guangdong Province, has also declined instantly. The prosperity and excitement of the past no longer exist, and there is no such thing as a reservation for a dish that can be queued for a year later. The old diners brought Sorry to no longer visit this restaurant. The Tan's restaurant, which has lost Mr. Tan, is no different from ordinary street restaurants.

Someone once commented that Watan Huadiao Chicken pioneered the use of wine to set off the aroma and taste of chicken in the cooking of whole chicken, making the chicken taste unique and have a special aroma.

Huadiao wine has a special property. It is not fragrant when it is cold, but it will become particularly fragrant when it is heated. Braised chicken with Huadiao wine, the ethanol in the wine reacts with the fatty acids in the chicken fat to form aromatic esters, which have a unique aroma. Watan Huadiao Chicken is difficult to imitate, because as soon as the cover is removed, diners will know whether it is the taste.

The staff wanted to uncover the cover, but was stopped by Tong Deyan.

"Let me come." Tong Deyan got up, if this is really Watan Huadiao Chicken, this will be a day that will be recorded in the history of the flower planter's recipes, and they are the witnesses.

How difficult it is to inherit a famous dish and a unique skill, only the chef knows the sourness of each center.

As soon as the lid is uncovered, the fragrance overflows.

"It's this smell, it's this smell!" Pei Shenghua said excitedly, "It was this scent when the pottery chicken made by Mr. Tan was uncovered. Exclusive. Inspired by famous chefs in Shunde, Huadiaofeng delicacies are presented to Xuanyuan."

Han Guishan raised his head in surprise, smelling the fragrance, but Pei Shenghua was so excited that he recited poems.

The chicken is coated with honey, golden and shiny, the meat is tender and fragrant.

After tasting the Watan Huadiao Chicken, Han Guishan instantly dropped Jiang Feng's Eight Treasure Chicken and sent it to the cold palace to accompany Zhang Guanghang's Red Wine Stewed Chicken.

Han Guishan, who has no culture, can only use his poor vocabulary to describe Ji Xue's Watan Huadiao Chicken: "It's delicious, this dish is delicious!"

What kind of nonsense that eating too much chicken would make you feel tired and you need to eat some vegetarian food was completely forgotten by him, would you get tired of eating chicken? Just kidding, how can something as delicious as chicken get tired!

With a big appetite, Han Guishan said that he would eat ten of them!

The score came out quickly, 9.5 points, an unprecedented high score.

The whole audience was amazed.

The melon-eating viewers who don't know the truth and can't see the superiority can only open their mouths and exaggerate "Wow~" to show their surprise.

"Dad, what did that little girl do?" Jiang Jiankang, who had never seen the world, asked.

"Watan Huadiao Chicken." Jiang Wei Guodao, who has been in Guangdong Province for a while, has lived in the countryside for a long time and doesn't care much about big melons in the culinary industry. The news is blocked and many information is outdated. He doesn't know that Mr. Tan has passed away. The Watan Huadiao Chicken was lost, "I ate that dish 40 years ago. It is delicious. It is Master Tan's original dish, but it is not so high."

"Master Tan passed away last year, and that dish was lost." Sun Guanyun said. He was sitting next to Jiang Weiming, but he refused to join the group chat all the time. After Sun Jikai overturned, Sun Guanyun's color has not been very good. He went offline directly from the busy state, and refused to receive all the news from the person surnamed Jiang.

"I've never heard of Master Tan having an apprentice. His son has been fooled by money and his conscience. Guarding against people is like guarding against thieves. He is afraid that others will steal Master Tan's unique skills. He is stupid, lazy and short-sighted." Sun Guanyun said. Gritting his teeth, he didn't seem to be talking about Master Tan's son, but rather scolding his own son.

"Just wait, if he sees that this little girl can make pottery chicken, that mad dog will still bark."
