Chapter 819 Nobody Knows Preserved Egg Lean Meat Congee Better Than Him (4500+)

The test in the last week not only disrupted Jiang Feng's plan, but also disrupted the plans of many contestants.For those contestants who knew they must be running with them, they originally thought that it was time to go back to their homes and find their mothers, and happily end this reality show that has no money but can improve the business of their restaurants.The program team suddenly told them, congratulations on having one more opportunity to truly show your talents, please seize the opportunity and come to a real cooking competition.

In order to allow all contestants to fully adjust and prepare for the last test, the test time is changed from Sunday to [-] am next Wednesday.The venue was a relatively remote venue that Jiang Feng had never heard of. It was said that it was prepared for the semifinals and finals, and it was taken out in advance for this test.

In this way, this last test is a bit like a warm-up match before the semi-finals and finals.

It also aroused the fighting spirit that everyone didn't have before.

Since he has no chance to qualify, why not get a good ranking in the last test.This can also tell everyone that it's not that I'm not strong enough, but that I'm just unlucky.

With this mentality in mind, a total of 28 contestants from the seven participating restaurants prepared for this test with an unprecedented seriousness that did not affect the final result.

Ten o'clock on Wednesday morning.

The four of Jiang Feng arrived at the competition venue on time.

The location of this competition was so remote that Jiang Feng always thought that this place did not belong to Beiping.Because of the distance, even if the program team sent a special car to pick them up and set off at [-] o'clock in the morning, the four of them from Taifeng Building were still the last group to arrive—there was an hour-long traffic jam on the road.

Excluding the location, Jiang Feng felt that this was definitely a venue where he could play more than [-] points if he only used the venue to review the program preparation.

Big.

This venue is very large, big enough to accommodate seven groups of contestants at the same time, seven sets of fully equipped expensive kitchen tables, aquatic product area, frozen product area, fruit and vegetable area, and various dry seasonings, just like a super luxurious large vegetable market .

It can let every chef give full play.

The official start time of the competition is [-]:[-] noon, and the deadline is [-]:[-] pm, totaling five hours.For such a long game time, if you are willing and don't pursue quality, you can temporarily hang a pot of broth out.

The two hours before the start is the preparation time for the contestants. During these two hours, the contestants need to select the ingredients, determine the recipes, discuss the division of labor, and even do some basic processing of the ingredients.

If the other contestants don't mind, there is a group that really wants to adjust the soup, and you can start to hang the soup.

Two hours may seem like a long time, but if you really want to carefully prepare a dish, the time is still very tight.

"This test is the last test of the points competition. The theme of the test is signature dishes. There is no limit to the type and quantity of dishes, as long as they match the theme and reflect the signature of each restaurant." The staff finally reiterated the rules of the competition.

"Then what are the judging criteria, and who will be the judges?" Pei Shenghua asked.

"I'm sorry, we can't announce the list of judges before the end of the competition due to relevant regulations, but please believe that the judges of this competition are absolutely professional and fair, and we also believe that they will judge your dishes from a fair and just perspective. "The staff glanced at the time, "It's [-]:[-] in the morning, the game will officially start at [-]:[-] and end at [-]:[-] pm. From now on, everyone can select ingredients and do some preparations. If there is If contestants need to make broth in advance, please contact the staff, we will ask other contestants for suggestions and discuss whether it is possible.”

As soon as the staff finished speaking, everyone started to discuss or go directly to the ingredients area to choose ingredients.

Chef Arnold is one of the activists. Without saying a word, he went to the aquatic area to pick lobsters.

The competition venue is very large, and each contestant has his own cooking station and his own area.Jiang Feng and Sun Maocai first studied all the tableware and seasonings on the kitchen table. Basically, they were all produced by Haowei without any problems, and they were even familiar with them. Then they began to discuss matters related to the dishes.

"The theme this time is the signature dish. Do you have any ideas?" Sun Maocai asked with a smile, obviously not in a hurry.

"Since it's a signature dish, I think it should be you and Chef Jiang Feng, and Sun Jikai and I will help you two." Wu Minqi said, and Sun Jikai nodded in agreement.

If you mention the signature dishes in Taifeng Building, it must be Sun Maocai and Jiang Feng.

Sun Maocai looked at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng shook his head blankly.

He has no idea at all, this is not modesty, his brain is really empty now and he has no idea at all.

If he had been asked to make one of Taifenglou's signature dishes in the past, Jiang Feng would have felt that he had many options, such as chickpea curd, eight-treasure chestnut pigeon, shredded yam, crab stuffed with orange, and even chopped pepper fish head and Li Hongzhang chowder.

But since he had a little understanding two days ago, Jiang Feng became a little confused.

In his opinion, there is only one real signature dish of Taifenglou, which is Jiangshi Ginseng Soup.

But this is his trump card for the finals, and it is impossible to make it in the warm-up match. The most important thing is that he has not yet made Jiang's ginseng soup a signature dish.

Jiang Feng knew that this test was actually an opportunity for the program team to give the restaurants a chance to show their true talents, and it was also an opportunity for them to cut material and stir up the topic.Master Xu from the Yonghe Residence next door went to chat with the staff after they had finished speaking, and ordered his apprentices to find relevant ingredients for hanging broth, obviously to make broth dishes.

From now to [-]:[-] p.m., it will take more than six hours. Although the time is a bit tight, I can barely make a pot of chickpeas.

As long as he thought about it, Chicken Douhua would definitely be a very satisfying answer sheet for Taifeng House to submit to this test. Not to mention 100 points, but at least 90 points or more.

But he doesn't want to.

Jiang Feng felt that he had never been so clear about what he wanted and what he wanted to do.

He is already a three-time master, and logically speaking, there is no dish in this world that can stop him.He doesn't need to imitate, now it's someone else's turn to imitate him.

He wants to be himself.

It sounds a bit like some inexplicable words in some inexplicable novels, but Jiang Feng just wants to be himself now.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng's thoughts drifted farther and farther, and he even began to let go, until Sun Maocai's words pulled him back to the game.

"No idea at all?" Sun Maocai asked.

"I really don't have any ideas." Jiang Feng showed a slightly embarrassed smile, "I feel that now... I don't seem to have any signature dishes."

Sun Maocai:?

Sun Maocai didn't understand what Jiang Feng's sudden wind was.

A person who is full of signature dishes now suddenly ran out and said that I don't have any signature dishes, I don't know how to make signature dishes, if it wasn't for Sun Mao, he was a master, and at the same time a genius who realized what bottleneck Jiang Feng might have fallen into, or was looking for Some lost self he can't figure out, and he's probably about to jump up and hammer someone right now.

"Let me tell you my opinion. I just checked that there are no snakes in the ingredients section. Taishi Snake Soup will definitely not be able to be made. If you want to say that everyone thinks the signature dish, Dinghu Shangsu may be more suitable, but how often does this dish appear? It’s too high, I don’t think it’s anything new, and if you want to choose a signature dish, you don’t have to choose Dinghu Shangsu.” Sun Maocai said.

"Then what?" Sun Jikai asked.

"Wenchang Chicken and Baked Lobster in Soup," Sun Maocai said.

Sun Jikai was stunned.

Not only him, but Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi were also a little surprised. Although these two dishes are good, if Sun Maocai cooks them, it doesn't seem to be as strong as the signature dishes should be.

All too common.

If Sun Maocai said that pigeon swallowed swallows or abalone juice with Liao ginseng, Jiang Feng would think it was a little bit forceful, at least the raw materials were expensive.

"Why these two dishes?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Because these two dishes were the signature dishes of Jubaolou 40 years ago." Sun Maocai smiled, looking at Sun Jikai, "This is your great-grandpa's signature dish."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Sun Maocai continued: "Are you surprised that the signature dishes of a generation of Cantonese cuisine masters are not abalone, shark fin, sea cucumber, fish maw, fish maw, but baked lobster and Wenchang chicken in soup."

"Actually, these two dishes are also good dishes, but they are not so difficult, and the cost is not so expensive, so they are very popular. Master's best dishes are actually not these two dishes, but these two dishes are the most popular. The dish welcomed by the guests has gradually become the signature dish of Jubaolou." Sun Maocai began to explain the reason why he chose these two dishes, "It's not that you can't make better dishes, but better dishes have a higher effect on broth. requirements."

"We only have more than six hours. From selecting the ingredients to serving the dishes, no one can guarantee that the broth meets the requirements in such a short period of time. Baked lobster with soup does not have such high requirements for broth, so it is not easy to make mistakes .Of course, this is just my idea. If you have any other better ideas, you can also mention them. It is still in the discussion stage. We'd better discuss the results within 10 minutes."

Of course, the others had no objections. Both Wu Minqi and Sun Jikai were ready to fight the whole process. The other Jiang Feng, who theoretically should come up with an idea, was in the confused stage of his life when he was looking for himself.

After what Sun Maocai said, Jiang Feng, who had been confused for several days, suddenly had an idea.

"Let's make a set meal."

"Set meal?" The three spoke in unison.

"He didn't limit the dishes, nor did he limit the types. Why don't we just make a set meal with a complete set of meat and vegetables, including staple food, meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, soups, and even desserts?" Jiang Feng suggested.

Sun Maocai supported his head and thought for a while, thinking that this is a good idea.

In order to make it easier for customers to order food, basically every restaurant will have a corresponding set meal. For example, Taifeng Building once released a spring limited set meal, and the set meals that are still listed are Jiang Feng's marriage set meal and fried sauce noodle set meal.

If you want to say that the set meal is a signature dish, it is not off topic.

"It's a good idea. If it's a set meal, there are two meat dishes, Wenchang Chicken and Shangtangju Lobster, and one poultry dish, and one seafood dish. Then we're still short of soup, vegetarian dishes, and desserts."

"There are also staple foods." Jiang Feng emphasized.

"Yes, there are staple foods." Sun Maocai didn't understand why Jiang Feng emphasized that there were staple foods.

"Actually, Lao Sun and Qiqi can each be in charge of a part. Except for the hanging soup, we can make a set meal in six and a half hours, which is more than enough. Today is just a test and not a regular semi-final or final. There is no need for them to help us, even today If you lose the test, you can just get back in the finals and semi-finals." Jiang Feng said.

Sun Maocai didn't expect Jiang Feng to have such an idea. In fact, he is not a person who cares too much about winning or losing. After all, he has never won any cooking competitions outside for so many years, as long as he is against Chef Arnold. He is used to losing.

"I think it's pretty good." Sun Maocai agreed.

In this way, the right to decide is in the hands of Wu Minqi and Sun Jikai, which part they want to be responsible for.

The two looked at each other, and both saw hesitation in each other's eyes.

They were all a little scared, afraid that they would be the ones who dragged their feet and lost the chain.

Sun Jikai thought for a while, and spoke first: "If that's the case, then I'll be in charge of Tang."

As a Cantonese chef, soup making is naturally his specialty.

"Do you have any ideas?" Sun Maocai felt that he still had a say in the matter of soup, although he usually drank radish rib soup at home most of the time.

Sun Jikai shook his head.

When making a set meal, the combination of dishes is very important. It must be harmonious, unified, unique, and not obtrusive.

A set meal cannot be full of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, but it can't be all sweet, all salty, or all spicy to make people bored.

"How about Sishen Soup?" Sun Maocai said.

"Sishen Soup?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but make a noise. He had never heard of this soup.

"It can be regarded as a therapeutic soup. It clears fire, detoxifies and nourishes the skin. The taste is very light. The soup is made with Poria cocos, Chinese yam, lotus seeds and Gorgon fruit." Sun Maocai explained.

Jiang Feng thought it was okay after listening to it, and Sun Jikai also said there was no problem.

In this way, the ball was kicked in front of Wu Minqi, and she had to choose between vegetarian dishes, desserts and staple food.

Of course, she can choose not to.

Wu Minqi hesitated for a long time.

"Then I'll... take care of the vegetarian dishes." Wu Minqi said, "What do you think of the fish-flavored eggplant?"

"It's not bad, it's a good match." Sun Maocai still affirmed, and finally looked at Jiang Feng.

He is also one of the chefs.

Jiang Feng already had the answer in his heart.

"I make desserts and main courses!"

"Staple food?!" Now Sun Maocai was really surprised. In fact, he didn't list the staple food in the set meal from the beginning, because the staple food of the set meal is usually white rice, even if it uses good white rice and good spring water. The cooked rice is also white rice without technical content.

Sun Maocai thought that Jiang Feng would add another meat dish or vegetarian dish, and then take care of the dessert, or let this set meal have no dessert directly. The Chinese set meal can be without dessert.

Jiang Feng nodded affirmatively.

"What are you going to do?" Sun Maocai asked.

"For dessert, actually, the almond dew that I learned from Master Peng in Yongheju for a period of time is pretty good, and it's very good as an after-dinner snack."

"As for the staple food, I plan to make—" Jiang Feng showed a confident smile.

"Preserved egg and lean pork porridge!"

Just when he proposed to make a set meal, he suddenly realized in the morning that he actually has his own dishes, and he has had them since the beginning.

Where you start, where you start.

When he first got the game, the first dish he was affirmed by Chen Xiuxiu was Preserved Egg and Lean Pork Congee, and the second dish that was nearly perfect was Preserved Egg and Lean Pork Congee (the first was eight-treasure porridge), the finalist of the Good Taste Cooking Competition The dish is porridge with preserved egg and lean meat, and it is also porridge with preserved egg and lean meat that made him famous in the food street of A University.

Once upon a time, he was also a porridge king.

It’s just that his cooking skills have improved later, he has gained more memories, and has more dishes to learn. He has more and more dishes that are more famous than porridge, which conceals his title of porridge king, and because of various reasons Jiang Feng seldom cooks porridge.

Even so, many people still remembered that Jiang Feng's porridge was delicious.

Zhang Qian remembers, Liu Qian also remembers, and many A students remember.

No, chickpeas are delicious, and it’s not that crab-stuffed oranges are very distinctive, and it’s not that eight-treasure chestnut pigeons have the taste of Jubaolou.

It was Jiang Feng's porridge that was delicious.

The prefix is ​​Jiang Feng.

He already has his own style, but it's just a little bit off.

And now-

Jiang Feng smiled confidently.

He wanted everyone to know that he, Jiang Feng, was not named the Porridge King for nothing!
No one knows preserved egg and lean pork porridge better than him!
