Life is a Game

Wang Hao panicked.

Now Wang Hao just finished eating Jiang Jiankang's rock sugar soft-shelled turtle, and when he turned his head, he saw Ji Xue's shepherd's purse tofu ball soup. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Zhang Guanghang who was cooking lemon-flavored cod. On the left, he was picking mandarin fish in the water tank Dong Shi, looking on the right, is Wu Minqi who is also looking for a variety of watercress fish in the water tank. Behind him is Dong Li, who is frying fried squid with leeks that are destined to be eliminated before they are served.

Wang Hao is not a little panicked now, he is very panicked.

Wang Hao looked at Jiang Feng who was picking up the last bit of salted freshness. He didn't want to think about anything now, he just wanted to ask his dear brother Feng, no, Father Feng for help.

The so-called Shura field is nothing more than that.

Jiang Feng saw Wang Hao's eyes asking for help.

Jiang Feng drank the last sip of the spring-flavored, slightly salty soup at the end, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and walked towards Wang Hao.

"Xiao Wang, what do you think of this ice-sugar soft-shelled turtle? Is it particularly suitable as a dish in the spring limited set meal? From the very beginning, I heard that the store will offer a spring-limited set meal. The first thing I thought of was the ice-sugar soft-shelled turtle. This The dish is so suitable, delicious, full of nourishment, and expensive, there is simply no more suitable dish than this!" Jiang Jiankang enthusiastically praised the rock sugar soft-shelled turtle he made, "In addition to salted fresh, This dish is the most suitable."

Jiang Feng walked up to Wang Hao and patted Jiang Jiankang: "Dad, can I have some soft-shelled turtle? I'm a little hungry?"

Wang Hao:?

Then Jiang Feng began to eat the rock candy turtle.

Wang Hao gave Jiang Feng a look, Jiang Feng looked back at him, and continued to eat the rock candy turtle.

Wang Hao: ...

Jiang Jiankang still asked over there: "Xiao Wang, why don't you speak?"

Ji Xue's shepherd's purse tofu meatball soup was brought to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao knew that he might not be able to escape today's calamity.

"Uncle Jiang, I think your ice-sugar soft-shelled turtle tastes really good, but ah... I'll have some soup first, I was a little anxious to eat just now, as if I was choking." , can only eat something else brewing.

While Wang Hao was eating, Ji Xue was explaining.

"Both shepherd's purse and yellow croaker are seasonal ingredients in spring. When I was a child, my dad would make this dish every spring."

"This shepherd's purse ball is made by mixing chopped shepherd's purse and tofu. The shepherd's purse is the freshest and very juicy one that was just delivered this morning. Chopped, it will be very tender to eat. Mix it with tofu and add some salt and sesame oil to taste. Although it is very light, it is very refreshing, and it is very suitable to eat in this season.”

"This yellow croaker ball is made by hand this afternoon. The fish is freshly killed. Peel the skin and cut the meat into pieces, mince it and marinate it. Cooking the yellow croaker ball with shepherd's purse balls will have a little taste of shepherd's purse and tofu. Eat the shepherd's purse first Eating yellow croaker balls with meatballs will taste even better, and when it’s the best, try some soup.”

"This dish does not add other seasonings except salt and sesame oil. What you eat is the freshness of the ingredients themselves, so the ingredients must be fresh. I think this dish is very suitable for the theme of spring, but since I have chosen Master Jiang If the pickled Duxian is the main dish, there is no need for a second soup, this dish can be directly changed into noodles with yellow croaker balls with mustard greens, and it will be delicious if you add some other ingredients to the noodles.”

Wang Hao: ...

You've said it all, what else can I say?

Rock sugar soft-shelled turtle and shepherd's purse tofu meatball soup have their own advantages and disadvantages. One is thick and colorful, the other is light and elegant, the other is nourishing and thick, and the other is fresh and lively.

After Wang Hao put down the bowl, he already had a decision in his heart.

"Uncle Jiang, although your rock candy soft-shelled turtle is really delicious, I don't think it goes well with the spring limited set meal." Wang Hao said.

"Where doesn't it fit?"

"The taste of your dish is a bit too strong. I don't know if it's because of me. I felt a little bit too sweet when I ate it just now. Of course, the overall taste is still very good. The soft-shelled turtle meat is fat, It tastes sweet at the entrance, and has a salty aftertaste at the end. The most important thing is that the soft-shelled turtle meat is not fishy at all. The marinade is thick, and it tastes like a little fish jelly.”

"The appearance is also very good-looking. The whole turtle looks red. However, it is a bit greasy."

"It's no problem to put this dish in any set meal, especially the banquet dishes. If there is such a rock sugar turtle in a banquet, it will definitely add a lot to the banquet, and even have a feeling of sublimation. But if It is a small set meal for 4 people, and serving such a soft-shelled turtle on the table may create an invisible pressure on ordinary diners like us."

"Look at this delicious dish of yours. If you don't finish it, you will feel it is a pity and a waste. But if you really insist on eating it, you will feel very tired. Our set meal is limited to spring, and spring should be fresh. Lively, fresh and full of vitality, such a dish that makes people feel a little greasy will be a bit abrupt in the spring set meal." Wang Hao proved to everyone what it means to be eloquent with his practical actions.

After talking about Jiang Jiankang's rock sugar soft-shelled turtle, Wang Hao enthusiastically praised Ji Xue's shepherd's purse tofu ball soup. Just as Ji Xue said, there is no need for a second soup in the set meal when there is salted Duxian. It is a good choice to directly change the shepherd’s purse tofu ball soup into shepherd’s purse yellow croaker ball noodles. After all, there is no staple food in the set meal settle down.

After being approved by the old man, Ji Xue's shepherd's purse and yellow fish ball noodles became the staple food in the spring limited set meal. To some extent, noodles are better than soup, noodles save meatballs, and the price of yellow croaker is not low these days.

The spring limited set meal is a meal for 2~3 people. Fang Mei means to make a meal for 4 people in the name of a meal for 2~3 people. The set meal originally only needs four dishes, one meat, one vegetable, one soup and one staple food , and some delicate side dishes and freshly squeezed juices will make this set meal very rich.

Now that the soup and staple food have been decided, the competition between meat and vegetables has become more intense, especially meat.

After an afternoon of fierce competition, Dong Shi successfully stood out. The name Bibo mandarin fish is very nice, the method is relatively simple, the appearance is very good-looking, and the taste is very delicious. In Wang Hao’s words, people can eat the vitality of spring A dish by Zhang Guanghang and Wu Minqi.

Bibo mandarin fish only needs to be steamed and then poured with hot oil, and then add accessories and seasonings. As long as the mandarin fish slices are good enough, the last step of pouring oil will make the skin and flesh of the fish turn up like a blooming flower All the same, this dish looks advanced enough.

It can only be said that Wu Minqi and Zhang Guanghang were not wronged when they lost to this dish.

At the end of the competition, Zhang Guanghang narrowly defeated Wu Minqi's stir-fried shrimp with asparagus and grabbed the last seat.

Then Jiang Feng found that Wu Minqi, who had lost two games in a row, looked a little depressed.

Although it wasn't obvious that Wu Minqi was deliberately restraining her slightly depressed mood from being discovered by others, but as Wu Minqi's boyfriend Jiang Feng could still see it.

Mr. Wu of his family is not very happy now.

Reasons for displeasure are also obvious.

It's just that Jiang Feng didn't quite understand why Wu Minqi was upset that his dish was not selected for the spring limited menu.

In Jiang Feng's impression, Wu Minqi seldom had mood swings because of such things, even in the Good Taste Cooking Competition, she was very indifferent to winning or losing.

She is a competitive person, but she is definitely not a person who will compete for a little thing.

Jiang Feng guessed all night but didn't come up with a clue, and he didn't figure out why until he walked home with Wu Minqi after get off work. Just when he was hesitating whether to ask directly, Wu Minqi spoke first.

"Fengfeng, I don't think I've been thinking wrong all along." Wu Minqi said.

"Ah?" Jiang Feng didn't understand.

"I have always believed that spicy food is the best taste and that spicy dishes have the most soul." Wu Minqi frowned, "But I found that you don't like spicy food very much. You use it as a decoration, but you can't accept it." Be the protagonist."

"This is not what I want, nor is it the dish I want to cook. Mr. Xu said in "Zhi Wei" that the dishes I cook now are pain, and there is only a thin line between extreme and pain. I also want to find that point, but now I You can't find it or touch it."

"Now when I cook, I can only consciously let myself put less and add less, but this is not what I think at all, and what I make is not what I want."

Wu Minqi fell in love with Jiang Feng, and her face was full of confusion: "I feel like I'm almost not good at cooking. I didn't dare to add more ingredients when I made watercress fish this afternoon. The things I made were neither fish nor fowl. Even making asparagus and fried shrimp I feel that there is something wrong with the bland dishes, and I feel uncomfortable."

"Fengfeng, what should I do?"
