[Sword III] Life skills take you to fly

Seeing that there was only a little spark left in the incense candle and it was about to go out, the host came to the stage and was about to announce the result when he heard a commotion at the door, and then Jixiangju and a group of people came in.After signaling to the judges, he ordered people to bring in new incense candles and light them to measure the time for the next competition.Let Xinglou and his party get in place quickly, the game is about to start.

The expression on Zhou Weiwei's face almost froze. Before, he thought he would win without a fight, and he was seen by others with a proud expression. Now that Jixiangju arrived on time, his hopes fell through, and he didn't know how to be ridiculed secretly .But thinking that he still has a plan, even if he arrives on time, it doesn't matter, he still has to lose to himself.

Xiang Zhiyuan opened the folding fan to cover his disappointed expression. In order to add trouble to Jixiangju, he left the magistrate's relationship and let them seal the road they had to pass for a while. He didn't expect to be so late, and thought he couldn't come. up.I don't know if Zhou Weiyi did what he said. If Ji Xiangju wins this round, he will have to spend time to deal with them in the future.

When Xinglou arrived at the scene, he didn't have time to take a breath, so he announced the start of the game.But I have practiced thousands of times before, so I am not afraid of this one.The two sides reported the names of the dishes one after another.

This round was different from the first round. The judges watched from the sidelines from the beginning to the end. After all, it was only one-on-one, and the competition process would also be included in the evaluation criteria.Like before, Xinglou's late arrival left a bad impression on the judges, but fortunately, Zhou Weiwei's uncontrollable expression was revealed, and the judges didn't like such impatient people, so the two sides were even.

The names of the dishes in the newspaper were announced on the high platform in front of them, and everyone present could see them.

"It's not Furong Jinxiu." Chen Sheng was a little surprised. He had studied those important people before, from craftsmanship to personality, and Zhou Weiyi was one of them.In Chen Sheng's view, the theme is jade. Furong Jinxiu has been famous for more than 20 years and has not been defeated.Looking at the current name of the dish, I was even more surprised.

"Crystal dragon and phoenix cake! He actually has this recipe." Chen Zixin also whispered. The crystal dragon and phoenix cake was the No. 19 dish of the famous banquet of the Tang Dynasty. It has been lost for a long time, but its reputation is still exist.I don't know if this is the real crystal dragon and phoenix cake.

"It seems that it was rumored that he got a piece of ancient convenience food for this dish. Sure enough, he couldn't hold back and used it for the second game." Chen Sheng was a little bit hesitant, after all, he had made a firm decision in front of his nephew that Zhou Weiyi would be Furong Jinxiu , I didn't expect to guess wrong.

"It's also possible that he got some news, and he needs to pay more attention to Jixiangju." Chen Zixin turned his head to look at Xiang Zhiyuan, who covered his face with a fan and couldn't see his expression clearly. Everyone is a smart person. Some things don't look at the process but only at the process. As a result, the perpetrator can be deduced.Although the culinary art world often had bad things happen, the characters of the people present had been studied, and most of them were decent.Although Xiang Zhiyuan seemed to be in a good mood, but seeing that the people or things related to him did not end well in the end, he felt that there must be something strange in it.

The other person who guessed wrong was also extremely surprised.Yang Zhi looked at Xinglou with guilt in his eyes, but Xinglou comforted him a few words, "Master has also tasted my craft, don't you feel relieved?"

"That's true, it's hard to say whether it's the authentic crystal dragon and phoenix cake. Just make your own, and don't worry about the rest." Yang Zhi recalled the taste of emerald siu mai, and he should give his apprentice more confidence.

It was a coincidence that both parties made desserts with ingredients related to 'jade', and the same type was better compared, and the judges present were a little more looking forward to it.I don’t know whether the jadeite siu mai made by Heima is slightly better this time, or the long-lost crystal dragon and phoenix cake is even better.

Xinglou didn't care about other things, just doing the movements he knew by heart.

Soak spinach in boiling water with alkaline water, then pick it up and rinse it in cold water, chop it into fine powder, put it in a cloth bag to dry the water, pour it out and put it in a basin, add sugar and fine salt, Stir the lard to make emerald stuffing.Put the flour in a basin, add boiling water and knead into flakes, then add water and knead well until the dough is smooth and knead into long strips.Pick it into a blank, and then use a rolling pin to roll it into a leather with a lotus leaf shape and a money bottom.Put the filling in the middle of the skin, pinch the skin up to the waist with one hand, and flatten it with a scraper on the mouth of the skin with the other hand, and it is a raw siu mai.

Put the raw body into a basket and steam it over high heat, just waiting for the emerald color to soak into the outer skin.

The two sides took about the same amount of time, and Zhou Weiyi almost stopped the movement of his hands after the Xinglou side was basketed.Now I have completed 99 steps, and I just wait for the final test when I come out of the cage.When I was free, I thought about waiting and waiting, that is, I wanted to chat.

"I didn't take a closer look just now, but Master saw Zhou Weiyi's movements clearly?"

Yang Zhi also had a serious expression, "The jujube rice is steamed, and the flowers come in. It is indeed the crystal dragon and phoenix cake in the records."

At this time, all the people present were waiting for the steaming to be completed, and the conversation on the side table came to Jing Yuan's ears, "Hey, you have to look carefully this time, the crystal dragon and phoenix cake is an ancient recipe that has been lost for a long time, and Zhou Weiyi must be the same." It cost a fortune."

"Who says it's not? I heard that Zhou Weiyi searched for high-quality honey yesterday, and finally spent a lot of money to buy top-quality honey from a beekeeper in the south. It's a good thing." This kind of anecdote always spreads fast.

"Do you need honey to make this?" Jing Yuan asked Xing Lou after listening to a few words. It is not surprising that Xing Lou knew Jing Yuan's ability to extract useful information from noisy environments.

"There is only one sentence in the existing records, 'Jujube rice is steamed, and the flowers are brought in', which means that glutinous rice flour is wrapped in jujube noodles and fermented. There is no mention of honey." Xinglou rummaged through his memories, although his skills There is a recipe for Shaowei banquet, but this dish is not available.

Yang Zhi has more experience and put forward his opinion, "Honey is too sweet, but it will suppress the taste of jujube. It is really not a suitable ingredient for this place."

Several people were quite puzzled, could it be that Zhou Weiwei has been famous for a long time, so he doesn't even know the truth.Of course Zhou Weiwei knew it, but the smell of emerald burnt wheat really made him feel threatening, coupled with Xiang Zhiyuan's bewilderment, he had no choice but to add this unreasonable ingredient to the crystal dragon and phoenix cake.

To be on the safe side, we also use top-quality honey that is [-] times more effective than ordinary honey.The order in which the judges tasted the two dishes was [-]-[-]. It doesn’t matter if you eat jade siu mai and then crystal dragon and phoenix cake, but if you eat crystal dragon and phoenix cake and then eat jade siu mai, it will be hard to swallow.This move at least reduced the opponent's chances by half, and he could be regarded as a sure winner.

"Brother, what are you worrying about?" Yueying saw several people frowning, and after listening to it for a long time, she couldn't figure out why, so she tilted her head and asked. Imagine a better flavor than this.

"We're thinking ... what's out of the ordinary right now."

"Unusual? Is it like I vomited several times after eating badly yesterday?" Yueying thought for a while, thinking it was her own problem, and only remembered a recent incident, so she brought it up.

"Hey, why did you vomit?" Yueying only vomited twice, and Xinglou gave her medicine and she got better.So Yang Zhi didn't see it and didn't know about it.

Fortunately, the blood-enriching medicine is also effective in anti-emetic. It seems that I will have to watch Yueying's food in the future. It's not good to make food so delicious that people can't control their mouths.Xinglou recalled and explained, "She, she stewed beef at noon yesterday, and ate a lot of chestnuts greedily in the afternoon. Beef and chestnuts are mutually exclusive, so it hurt her stomach."

Wait...Xiang!

"Spinach!" Yang Zhi exclaimed, as if suddenly enlightened, and the relevant knowledge in his memory flooded in like a tide. It was such an idea!"

"There is such an effect? ​​It is not stated in the "Food Records". Where did Master learn about it?" As a treasure, Xinglou had never been a cook in modern times and knew little about ingredients. He decided to enter this line of work in ancient times, so naturally he could only study the knowledge here.

""Food History" does not explain it. This is the secret left by the ancestors of my Yang family. The properties of honey and spinach are very different, and ordinary cooks generally do not use these two at the same time, so most outsiders don't know. Zhou Weiwei There is no city mansion, and Jinxiufang has only been established for a few decades, if you can think of such a method, there must be someone behind it." Yang Zhi thought that after he was driven to the wharf of Yingzhou Mansion, most of the things left by the Yang family were in the hands of Xiang Zhiyuan , it all makes sense.

"The most important thing for us now is to think about how to deal with it." Xinglou knew the whole story, and quickly recalled the memory of honey, "Yes!" The coincidence of the incident made Xinglou feel like God was helping him.

"How to do it?" Yang Zhi was also trying to remember, but unfortunately the ancestors only left spinach and honey to counteract each other, and didn't say anything to neutralize the honey.

Xinglou took out a whole grapefruit from the box and held it in front of him, "Just use this." Thanks to those who sell honey grapefruit tea in later generations, they advertised all day long, even if they didn't pay attention to these, Xinglou also heard a few words, Knowing that grapefruit can neutralize the sweetness of honey, and even complement each other to make honey fresh.

Seeing that time is running out, he hastened to deal with the grapefruit in his hand. Although Jing Yuan didn't understand it, he hurried to help, squeezed a bowl of grapefruit juice, and put it into the lower layer of the steaming grid with the emerald siu mai layer, so that the juice Evaporate and soak the siu mai on top, so that the grapefruit effect can be integrated into the whole siu mai, not only can neutralize the effect of auxiliary honey, but also make the siu mai itself have a fresh fragrance, and finally finish before the end of time.

Although the people present didn't quite understand Xinglou's last move, they still acted like they were going to do.Only Zhou Weiyi sneered in his heart, as if he saw his final victory.
