Dare to cook

Chapter 116 The Vinegar King's Daughter

The secret red oil and the secret steamed fish juice are both big killing moves obtained by Yao Yu through system tasks.

These two recipes can improve the taste of all steamed fish dishes and red oil Sichuan dishes to a higher level.

Chen Li's own strength is not weak, and the gap between him and the top [-] chefs on the Jade Food List is not as big as imagined.

As long as he masters a few more secret recipes similar to the secret red oil in the future, it will not be difficult to improve his ranking.

Ado.

After the competition questions were selected, Chen Li and Qin Xianxian entered the back kitchen to start the competition.

Together with the two contestants, the staff of the Kitchen Association, notaries and recorders entered the back kitchen.

As for Yao Yu and the other chefs of Renhe Restaurant, they all stayed in the front hall.

This is also the rule of the ranking competition.

In order to ensure the fairness of the ranking competition, when the challenger comes to challenge, all personnel not related to the competition cannot stay in the back kitchen to watch the competition.

Yao Yu waited for Chen Li and Qin Xianxian to enter the back kitchen, and then came to a young judge and asked, "Hey, Lao Yu, what is the origin of this challenger?"

The young judge's surname is Yu, and his name is Yu Delu. He is a director of the Shencheng Kitchen Association who is responsible for the assessment of the competition.

In the past few years, every time Yao Yu received the task of keeping the rankings, Yu Delu would bring the challengers to the door, and then watched them run away in tears one by one being abused by Yao Manzi.

Yu Delu and Yao Yu are also old acquaintances.

He raised his eyebrows and said with a smirk: "What? Are you tempted? Decided to agree to her request and be her boyfriend?"

Yao Yu's face darkened slightly:

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just wondering. This Qin Xianxian looks like he's only sixteen or seventeen, right? How can he start a battle for the rankings?"

"Isn't it stipulated that chefs must be over [-] years old and have obtained a senior chef qualification certificate before they can submit an application for ranking?"

Yu Delu nodded:
"Yeah, the rules haven't changed."

"I was also surprised at the beginning. After reviewing Qin Xianxian's information, I found out that she just looks tender, but she is actually over [-] years old."

"Moreover, this Qin Xianxian has a good background. She is the daughter of the jealous king in Jinyang City, Xishan Province."

Vinegar...King of Vinegar...

Yao Yu immediately swallowed:
"Is that the jealous king Qin Wumi who molested his daughter three years ago, and then he chased that person for eight streets with a kitchen knife?"

"That's right, it's him." Yu Delu nodded, gloating and said:

"Three years ago, Qin Wumi's eldest daughter, Qin Yanyan, was almost attacked by someone. Then Jinyang Vinegar King brought a few young apprentices to chase that person for eight streets, and directly beat that little rascal to death."

"If Qin Wumi knows that you dare to hook up with his little daughter Qin Xianxian, do you think King Qin Vinegar will fly to Shencheng and hack you to death?"

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense, how could it be, don't spread rumors!" Yao Yu was frightened by Yu Delu, and directly came to deny Si Lian.

Zhou (porridge) king Gu Qingzhou, vinegar king Qin Wumi, Tang (sugar) king Shao Shixun, overlord Liu Kangrong...

These are the nicknames that sand sculpture netizens have given to some of the top unicorns.

Not to mention King Zhou, King Vinegar, and King Tang, you can tell which type of dishes they are good at just by looking at their names.

As for Overlord Liu Kangrong, because he is very good at cooking soft-shelled turtles and turtles, so he mixed up such a name.

In comparison, Overlord sounds pretty good.

In addition, there are also some chefs on the Kirin List, who are called Duck King, Goose King, Sea King, Crab King, etc. due to bad luck or offending someone.

The person involved was so angry that he wanted to slap the table and scold his mother.

The Vinegar King, Qin Wumi, is a Xishan cook who was born in the eighth generation of his ancestors who specialized in making vinegar.

No cook can beat him when it comes to dishes that require a lot of vinegar.

Since Qin Xianxian is his daughter, it's not surprising that she has the strength to launch a battle for the rankings.

It's just that Yao Yu is still a little puzzled:

"Didn't Qin Xianxian participate in the ranking competition? With her strength, it's not difficult to enter the national league, right? Why did she choose to launch the ranking competition at this time?"

Yu Delu said:

"I participated, but I was unlucky. When I entered the top [-] in the top [-], I met Li Boju, the champion of the capital division, and was directly eliminated."

"If she hadn't even gotten a ticket to the national competition, she wouldn't have applied for the ranking competition so quickly."

"This girl still wants to get on the list as soon as possible, and then return to the famous contest as a rookie on the Jade Food List."

This year's contest is different from previous ones.

In the case of a large number of overseas masters participating in the competition, in order to prevent the national championship from being taken away by foreign chefs, the Famous Chefs Association and the Kitchen Association made an exception to allow chefs from the Jade Food List to participate.

Yao Yu couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to Qin Xianxian when he heard that:
"This girl's luck is really bad. She has won nine out of nine battles in the rankings. If she can get other questions today, then she still has hope of winning."

Yu Delu was startled and said:
"From what you mean, Chen Li is very good at cooking fish? Are you so confident in your junior brother?"

Yao Yu didn't explain much, but said that you will know when the time comes.

……

Whether two hours is long or not, chatting on the Shuishui forum passed quickly.

At 04:30 in the afternoon, the duel between Chen Li and Qin Xianxian ended.

The restaurant waiter brought the dishes prepared by the two to the judging table in the front hall.

Xu Yunle, Jiang Yuan and other cooks also stretched their necks at this moment, wanting to see what they had cooked.

According to the rules of the ranking competition, in order to avoid the judges from being preconceived.

Before the judges score all the dishes, the passer cannot tell the judges which dishes are made by which contestant.

Only in this way can the judges make the most objective scoring.

The judges did not recognize the contestants' dishes.

Yao Yu, who was standing next to the judging table, could tell at a glance which dishes were made by Chen Li.

However, he couldn't say it.

Otherwise, it is breaking the rules and hindering the fairness of the game.

At this time, a total of six dishes were placed on the judges' table.

Among them, steamed sea bass, boiled fish fillet and cold vegetable grass carp in tomato sauce are Chen Li's works.

The other three dishes of assorted diced fish, crispy steamed small fish, and fish in sugar sauce are Qin Xianxian's dishes.

After all the dishes were served, the judges began to taste the cold dishes of grass carp in tomato sauce and fish in sugar sauce, and then tried assorted fish dices, crispy steamed small fish, steamed sea bass and boiled fish fillets in turn.

The cold dishes made by Chen Li are relatively average, and the score is not as good as Qin Xianxian's fish in sugar sauce.

However, when the judges began to taste the steamed sea bass and boiled fish fillets, the expressions of several judges changed.

This……

This is absolutely delicious!

"The taste of these two dishes is far beyond my expectations. It's almost... like a chef of Yao Yu's level can cook it."

Among the three judges, the oldest judge said with emotion.

After Yu Delu tasted these two dishes carefully, he was also very surprised.

He remembered what Yao Yu said just now, and only then did he understand why Yao Yu had confidence in Chen Li.

really……

After all, Chen Li was Yao Yu's younger brother.Even if he is currently at the bottom of the ranking, it is impossible to be as simple as it appears on the surface.

Thinking of this, Yu Delu knew it.

But he didn't say anything.Turning around, I discussed with the other two judges how to score.

After several minutes of discussion, the three judges gave scores to the six dishes.

In the end, Chen Li ended Qin Xianxian's journey to the rankings with a 2.3-point lead in total points.
