After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the meat contest began. The contestants were still the first to draw lots and group into groups. This time, Qin Mian was in the first group. The ingredients had already been prepared long ago, so it wouldn't be a problem for them to be in the first group.
The meat dish he wanted to make was the steamed meat with curd milk. After the competition, he would open a rancid milk workshop to advertise it. In the first step, mix the seasoned milk with chili powder, ginger powder, sugar, salt powder and steamed rice flour and stir evenly. After washing the pork, cut it into thin slices and add them into the prepared powder. Then, wrap the pieces with the steamed meat powder and seasoning, then spread the pieces flat and marinate them for about one incense stick of time. Then, put the pieces of meat on a plate, add a proper amount of water to the pot. Use the chopsticks to pick out the meat pieces, reassemble the plate, and put them into a beautiful shape, finally sprinkling the scallion onto the plate.
There are relatively more meat dishes than vegetables. However, the dishes chosen by the chefs were relatively simple in the begi ing. After about four quarters of an hour, all four dishes were prepared and brought to the main hall.
Three cups of chicken, spicy duck cookers, open mouth steamed fish, curd meat with rancid milk and sweet and sour pork all exuded a rich fragrance, and many people could not help but swallow their saliva.
Elder Liu commented on the steamed meat with the curd milk powder, "Fat but not greasy, tender but not soft, with a strong five scents, suitable for old and young, worthy to be called peerless". It was easy to pass the test.
Qin Mian beamed, and decided to use these five lines as a promotional slogan when he pushed forward the dish of toasted milk and steamed meat.
The five dishes were shared among the other cooks.
In the afternoon, Qin Mian entered the second round of the competition and made a round of it. The fish was named after its appearance. It was a bright, delicate, and fragrant fish that was sweet and sour in appearance. It received praise from Elder Gu, Elder Wen and Elder Liu.
Until now, the participants all vaguely understood that this culinary competition was almost like a promotional campaign for the Shuangzhuan Restaurant, and they seemed more like a foil for Qin Mian. However, it was too late to regret it. At this point, they could only continue to compete and try their best to get a good place in the competition.
In the third round, Qin Mian called her a flower chicken??
Because many of the meat ingredients needed to be marinated and savored before cooking, the meat cooking process took a long time until the morning of the third day when the finals would begin.
The final match would be between Qin Mian, Wu Dewang, Jin Changan, Zheng Xiangui and Wang Fusheng.
Wu Dewang had thought of secretly playing tricks on Qin Mian's ingredients, but unfortunately, the house manager of Lei Family had his eyes on him, and he did not even have the chance to talk to his subordinates privately, as he helplessly watched Qin Mian smoothly walk to the last step.
Qin Mian mustered all his strength to shock everyone, and decided to make the last dish, "Buddha Leaping Wall".
Because the cooking process of this dish was very complicated and could use multiple pots at the same time, he tried to discuss it with the other four competitors and the three judges.
At this point, there was no hope for them to get the seasoning secret recipe, and all the chefs wanted to see Qin Mian's high culinary skills, so they did not bother about such a small matter and agreed to his request.
Wu Dewang, Jin Changan, Zheng Xiangui and Wang Fusheng would fight first. Wu Dewang made a chrysanthemum fish, Jin Changan made a crystal leg, Zheng Xiangui made drunk chicken, and Wang Fusheng made three sets of ducks, which gave everyone a feast for their eyes and mouths.
Next, it was Qin Mian's turn.
There are eighteen kinds of raw materials: sea cucumber, abalone, shark's fin, dried shellfish, fish lips, gum, clams, ham, pork belly, lamb's elbow, hoof tip, hoof tendons, chicken breast, duck breast, chicken gizzard, duck gizzard, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoot and so on. Almost all of the things Qin Mian used came from space.
It is very complicated to cook. One must first use 18 kinds of raw materials to make various dishes with their own characteristics by a variety of ca onballs, then place them layer by layer in a large wine jar, infuse appropriate amount of soup and 20 years old wine, make the soup, wine and vegetables fully blend, and finally seal the opening of the jar with lotus leaves and heat it over the fire.
The fire used to make Buddha jump wall is also very particular, need to use wood heavy and no smoke white carbon, first in the kung fu fire boiling, then in the gentle fire simmering simmer simmer.
Six hours later, Qin Mian finally came out from the kitchen.
By this time, the sun was about to set. Elder Liu, Elder Wen and Elder Gu were already starving from waiting. Seeing two waiters carrying out a huge jar, they knew that it was cooked by Qin Mian, but they did not smell any fragrance. They looked at each other in bewilderment, even more curious about this dish.
When the lotus leaves at the mouth of the altar were opened, a rich fragrance quickly filled the entire hall, straight into the hearts of everyone present. Everyone was shocked.
Someone could not help but exclaim, "It smells so good!"
The aroma was strong but not unpleasant, and the smell alone was appetizing. It seemed that without tasting, it was already determined that "Buddha Leaping the Wall" was well-deserved to be the champion of this year's culinary competition.
As expected, after the three Elder Liu s tasted it, they decided Qin Mian would be the champion.
Elder Liu laughed and praised "Good" three times in a row. Brother Wen, Brother Gu, how about we have di er together with this' Buddha Leaping Wall '? " There was something else that he did not say. This "jumping from the wall" was clearly a creation of the Shuangzhuan Restaurant, to the point where he had not even had a chance to taste it today.
The other cooks also wanted to see the charm of this dish, but before they could open their mouths, Old Gu and Elder Wen spoke out in agreement with Elder Liu's words. The three of them picked up their chopsticks and started eating. As they ate, they urged the waiter to bring them a few bowls of rice, which made them feel both helpless and fu y.
The famous chefs from everywhere, including Jin Changan from Beijing, were convinced of their defeat.
"Here, you guys go split it." Old Gu gave the money box to Qin Mian.
Qin Mian and the other four took out the silver notes and two silver taels. They divided them according to the ratio of five to four to three to two. Other than Qin Mian using two seasonings as a bargaining chip, the other seventy-eight restaurants all offered six hundred silver coins. As a result, Qin Mian, as the top ranker, was able to get 15, 600 gold coins. Everyone was both envious and jealous of him.
In order to prevent himself from being targeted and assassinated, Qin Mian hurriedly said that everyone's di er was at a discount.
Nie Heng looked at the three of them enviously, he licked his lips and walked over to Qin Mian.
"Qin Mian, when is your Shuangzhuan Restaurant going to push the 'buddhist wall'? "Be sure to let me know when the time comes."
Qin Mian folded the silver bills and kept them in his bag, then shook his head and said, "Honestly speaking, I haven't even considered whether or not I should push 'Buddha Leaping Wall'."
Nie Heng asked quickly, afraid that he did not have a good mouth, "Why didn't you push it out? The process of this dish is quite complicated, so just set the price a bit higher."
Qin Mian still shook his head, "It's far more than complex? I'll have to teach the cook before I introduce this dish. Therefore, you probably won't be able to eat it in a short period of time. However, you can rest assured that I will send someone to tell you when the time comes."
Nie Heng was satisfied with his answer and let him go.
Qin Mian took the chance and ran over to Lei Tia's side while more people were surrounding him. Yuan Yuan and Man had long fallen asleep in Lei Tia's embrace. He carried Yuan Yuan Yuan and walked to the resting lounge with Lei Tia, letting the two little fellows sleep on the sofa for the time being and covered them with a small blanket. Today, not only was it hard for Qin Mian, Yuan Yuan, Full Moon and Lei Tia had also worked hard for him.
Qin Mian first kissed on the lips of the large face paralysis, then kissed on the forehead of Yuan Yuan and the others.
"Have you eaten di er yet?"
"Waiting for you." Lei Tia said.
"I knew it."Let's go, I'll make you something nice to eat." Qin Mian pulled him into the kitchen.
The culinary competition came to a successful end. The next day, the chefs from all over the place bade their farewells. Qin Mian was very kind, he gave each of them a bottle of "One Line Heaven" 's putrefied milk and a beautifully packaged dessert.
Elder Liu, Elder Wen and Elder Gu only left after staying at the Shuangzhuan Restaurant for five or six days. Before they left, they even invited Qin Mian to come to the capital, they could compare notes on their culinary arts.
Qin Mian made the most of his time and handed over all of the dishes he had cooked during the competition to the four big chefs. Each dish was priced astonishingly high, especially the Taiji Soup and Buddhist Jump Wall. Each piece of Tai Chi soup cost five taichi and another twenty taichi.
Even so, those "willful rich" people still came to the Shuangzhuan Restaurant in an endless stream for the sake of tasting the Tai Chi Tang and the buddhist jumping wall. It could be said that, for the first time ever since they came to the Shuangzhuan Restaurant to eat, they would definitely order Taiji Soup and Buddhist Jump Wall. Even if it took them six hours to order, they would still be willing to wait for it.
From then on, his Shuangzhuan Restaurant was renowned throughout the world, and his wealth was roiling.
Qin Mian was relieved and handed over the Shuangzhuan Restaurant to the Manager Sun to take care of. After returning to the Qingshan Village, he prepared to start the matter of the Rotten Milk Workshop.
Lei Tia, Yuan Yuan and He Man pulled him to the front of the table and sat him down.
"What for?" Qin Mian did not understand, and laughed, "Could it be you want to give me a surprise? That's not right. My birthday is long past."
Yuan Yuan took the bound book and placed it in front of him.
"Daddy, from today onwards, you will learn how to read with us."
"What?" Qin Mian was flabbergasted, "Me? I'll learn words with you? " He looked at Lei Tia strangely and blinked: "What's going on?"
Lei Tia said honestly, "Children, say your word?? "Ugly."
Qin Mian's face immediately darkened. His pencils, ballpoint pens, and neutral pens were all beautiful figures. Who would dare to say that his pencils were ugly?
Lei Tia advised: "Wifey, don't you always feel that Yuan Yuan is more respectful to me?"
Yuan Yuan nodded his head heavily to show that he really did adore his father.
Qin Mian slapped the table and said: "I won't let you all experience my power, you didn't know that Prince Ma had three eyes!" He picked up his neutral pen and wrote a few lines on the book before handing it to Lei Tia, "Read it out for the two little things."
