Chapter 1434 Chu Yunfeng’s solo show
At this time, all the competition venues for all contestants are closed. Except for the staff of the organizing committee and the judges, it is naturally impossible for the audience to enter.

Firstly, it disturbs the cooking of the contestants, and secondly, there is no guarantee that cheating will occur, so the audience is all locked out and cannot come in.

However, the fragrance emanating from the competition venue became stronger and stronger, making it unbearable. The key was that the fragrance made it impossible to sleep, and there was no way to taste it.

So what can be seen is that a lot of people have begun to gather in the hotel square, and some people are holding wine bottles and starting to drink just because of the fragrance.

When there are too many people, it is easy to cause chaos, so the hotel has to send more security guards, but it finds that the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and finally there is no way to go directly to the organizing committee.

However, Chu Yunfeng and the others had no idea what was happening outside. At this time, they were concentrating on making their own dishes. The first thing they made was diving kimchi.

After boiling a large pot of water, and while waiting for it to cool down, everyone began to prepare vegetables unique to their respective cuisines.

The Shandong cuisine that Peng Yue is good at is rooted in the capital, so the vegetables he chooses naturally have the characteristics of Beijing flavor, such as carrots, celery, purple cabbage, etc.

It's just that this purple cabbage is relatively "heavy" in color. In order to prevent other vegetables from being contaminated by its purple color, Peng Yue opened a separate "private room" for it.

That is, use a separate glass bottle for brewing.

In addition, for Zhejiang cuisine, Ren Tingting chose a vegetable called Lanxi radish as the theme, highlighting the whiteness, crispness and tenderness of this radish. Coupled with celery, bell peppers, etc., it will definitely be refreshing for everyone.

The rest of the people each chose vegetables that are more distinctive in the cuisine, and the processing method was very simple. After the vegetables were processed, they only needed to "sweep" the glass tube with high-strength white wine to disinfect it.

Add star anise, peppercorns, salt, sugar and other spices, wait for the boiling water to cool down and then pour it in, then put all the processed vegetables in and soak it overnight.

Generally, 8-12 hours is enough, and the choice of spices varies from cuisine to cuisine.

Chu Yunfeng added some bay leaves, young ginger, etc. to further enhance the aroma of the pickles and make them more Sichuan-style. Therefore, when the judges taste different styles of pickles tomorrow, they will be quite surprised.

When it comes to the selection of ingredients, Chu Yunfeng is also full of tricks. In addition to the common celery and carrots, Chu Yunfeng also specially uses garlic sprouts and Chinese cabbage.

It can be said that the food here is the most characteristic of Sichuan cuisine. It is not only crisp and tender, but also has a unique taste. Chu Yunfeng also specially refined red oil.

When combined in this way, the flavor is even more unique.

After the red oil is refined, it is also left overnight, and then poured on it when it is placed on the plate in the morning.

After the kimchi was made, everyone began to make the dishes. The dishes produced by each cuisine were different, but there was a dish on Hu Yue's side that was similar to Chu Yunfeng's.

That was the Nine Colors Saving Box, but Hu Yue only made one dish and placed it in the middle. He had no idea that Chu Yunfeng was going to make 9 this time, so that was 81 dishes.

In fact, it's not like Hu Yue didn't think about making more dishes, all of which were presented in nine-color boxes. However, the number of cold dishes she could make was not as many as Chu Yunfeng's.

Secondly, my speed is not as fast as Chu Yunfeng's extremely abnormal state, so it is difficult to place 5, that is, 45 dishes.

If it is done less, it will be boring to display. It looks like a smaller version of Chu Yunfeng. In fact, you don’t even have to ask yourself to know that he must be challenging the highest level of difficulty.

So there is no need to compete with him, just make something unique yourself.

As the preparation of dishes progressed, everyone gradually discovered a problem.

"Hey, that's not right. Why do the ingredients I cook taste so good?"

Peng Yue was making yellow shrimps at this time. As soon as the shrimp slices were blanched, he immediately felt a different aroma coming out of the pot.

Even after eating at night, I still feel that the aroma is very strong. This is completely opposite to going to the supermarket to buy snacks after eating a full meal and losing my appetite.

So Peng Yue couldn't help but pick up a piece and took a bite. He was stunned immediately!

Isn't it a little too delicious?
Peng Yue, who didn't understand the situation, picked up another piece and threw it into his mouth. This time he was very sure that the taste was indeed much better than usual. What was going on?

Could it be the water?

This time, I spent a lot of effort to get some mountain spring water, but the amount was not too much. There was a little leftover for making kimchi, so I used it to blanch the shrimp crackers.

Perhaps for this reason, Peng Yue didn't think too much and continued making dishes.

Beibei also felt the difference here. There are many cold dishes in Hunan cuisine. Small wind snails cooked with spicy wine, perilla and pepper, this is a very famous cold dish of Hunan cuisine.

It's just that foreigners probably can't stand the irritation of this chopped pepper, so they can only save it for the folks in their hometown to taste. Beibei replaced it with spicy wine, perilla and five spices to cook small wind snails.

In this way, the spiciness is removed and the unique flavor of perilla is retained. With the blessing of five spices, it is very distinctive.

And after the smell of the snail meat burst out, Bei Bei was naturally a little unprepared, and wondered at the first moment, why the dishes made by sister today are so delicious?

There were many people who couldn't figure it out. Except for Chu Yunfeng, all the members of the Huaxia team were puzzled. However, the game was going on nervously and there was not much time to think about this problem.

Isn’t the fragrance good?
But the judges had to notice that this had already aroused their surprise.

"August, do you smell anything special?"

After Diadona and August cooperated with each other, they cooperated more closely to maintain the fairness and justice of the game.

And this one was obviously Diadona's trump card project, so when something unusual happened, he immediately asked August for confirmation.

In fact, Auguste discovered earlier than he did that the two of them were currently at the French team's station, and they were checking out the bacon sausage made by the French captain.

The two of them were actually not very interested in this method of smoking with a lid. It was just a routine operation, and it all depended on how Francois would arrange the dishes in the end.

If you have new ideas, you will naturally get high scores. If you are not creative, no matter how well the meat is smoked, it will be of no use.

Facing Diadona's question, August frowned and said, "I'm not sure, let's go out and have a look!"

As soon as they walked out, the two of them were stunned.

At this time, it was obvious that something strange was happening at the scene, that is, there was some weak and misty white smoke rising in an area.

This is counterintuitive. You must know that in order to avoid excessive smoke, all kitchens are equipped with powerful smoking devices, which means that once oil smoke appears, it will be sucked away immediately.

And it is processed directly into the treatment room through underground pipes, which will not cause air pollution. But the question is what is this white smoke? Is there a fire there?
"Come on, hurry up and take a look. Isn't it a fire?"

Diadona seemed the most anxious. After all, he was the most authoritative judge in this match. If something unexpected happened, the match would not be perfect, and that would be a pity!
August was also led to run, but after just two steps, he said doubtfully: "It can't be a fire. If there is a fire, it will be black smoke!"

hiss~!

That makes sense. I was too anxious. How could I make such a joke?

However, Diadona still didn't dare to relax. The closer she got to the smoking area, the stronger the fragrance became. The excitement of this fragrance made all the cells in her nasal cavity tremble.

"Chinese team, this is the Chinese team's area?!"

After running over, I discovered that all the kitchens belonging to the Chinese team area were slowly emitting this kind of white smoke. This is too confusing, right?

"Go, go in and have a look, let's check separately!"

Wondering if there was something wrong with their kitchen, this was no small matter. The two of them immediately chose a kitchen and rushed in. After entering, they were stunned.

No problem at all!
The chefs of the Chinese team were very busy and did not notice the judges coming in at all. They still did what they had to do. Such concentration made the two of them very impressed.

Unlike other restaurants, the chef greeted me with a smile as soon as he entered. This style was completely different, and it was obvious who was more attentive.

What made Diadona curious was that when he walked in, he immediately found that the fragrance was extremely strong. At this moment, he entered Peng Yue's kitchen, and Peng Yue was also making a cold dish that was very characteristic of Shandong cuisine.

Crystal chicken jelly!
A very plump rooster is being cooked in the pot. The ingredients Peng Yue chose are very local. This is called Jingcheng Youji in the local area, and it is also called Chinese Palace Yellow Chicken.

This kind of chicken has a history of more than 300 years and was named by Qianlong, so it is very famous. However, the chicken itself is also very unique. The aroma of this kind of chicken is very unique and has a Beijing flavor.

The chicken jelly made by Peng Yue needs to be added with peanuts. It will taste very special. It has a crunchy texture among the glutinous softness, and the aroma can also be enhanced.

It was the first time I discovered that chicken can actually have such a fragrance. I looked at the white smoke that was constantly floating upwards from the pot. Most of it was taken away by the smoking equipment. Unexpectedly, some of it was still scattered in various places in the kitchen. corner.

That's why there is excess white smoke coming out. Is this due to the ingredients or the cooking method? Diadona is a little confused, because other national teams also cook meat, but it has never happened. Such a magical sight of the Chinese team.

Now that they are all here, let's carefully check the operations of the Chinese team members. After inspection, we did not find any violations.

So Diadona continued to rush to the kitchen of the next member of the Huaxia team, and on the other side, August entered the back kitchen where Chu Yunfeng was. He almost didn't exclaim directly after entering.

Beautiful, so beautiful!
Chu Yunfeng directly placed the nine lacquer boxes on the kitchen table. The lacquer boxes that had not yet opened their lids were amazingly beautiful. The pattern of dragons and phoenixes intersecting was full of oriental beauty, making people feel very artistic at first sight.

It was very high-end, simply too high-end. August's eyes widened. He hurried forward to check, carefully opened the lid of one of the paint boxes, and immediately saw the nine grids inside the paint box.

hiss~!

Is it necessary to put the prepared dishes into these grids?

Oh my gosh, wait, let me count how many boxes there are in here!
nine!

Ninety-nine 81?

Could it be that the captain of the Chinese team wants to make 81 dishes?

August was horrified. This was definitely beyond his imagination. He had never seen anyone make so many dishes in this competition. The most important thing is, is this time enough?
However, it is a bit exaggerated to say that there are 81 dishes. Chu Yunfeng plans to put a kind of kimchi in each lacquer box, so eight dishes will be subtracted from the calculation.

So there are only 73 dishes actually produced, which is quite a lot. Isn’t it an exaggeration?
August didn't know that Chu Yunfeng had this plan, but even if he knew it, he couldn't believe it. And looking at Chu Yunfeng's current state, he simply treated himself as if he were air. He was busy cooking on the stove I was busy in front of me, handling various ingredients.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
At this time, Chu Yunfeng was refining chili peppers and had just made the kimchi. At the same time, he was cooking various ingredients that needed to be cold. Things like beef needed to be cooked for a while.

However, the pungent smell of chili peppers was still a bit strong. Even if Chu Yunfeng chose a non-spicy and fragrant variety like bell peppers, August was still intolerable.

After a quick inspection, I ran out and decided to wait until the chili was finished making before going in again.

Immediately after coming out, they met Diadona, and both of them immediately wanted to tell each other about their amazing discovery.

"August, I thought you would be curious, this is amazing."

"Diadona, this is definitely a big game, you won't believe it"

Haha~!

Both of them obviously found that the other had made a discovery that would exclaim ordinary people, and they laughed together. However, Diadona's discovery did not surprise Auguste, but instead made him realize that he had definitely made a shocking discovery.

Sure enough, August shook his head in shock and said with a look of disbelief: "Go in and take a look, I suspect that the captain of the Chinese team is going to make 81 dishes.

There are a total of 81 dishes. No one would dare to believe it. Go and have a look. Believe me, this will definitely become the best in all previous competitions. I am so f***ing surprised."

In the end, I really couldn't think of any adjectives that could express my shock, so I had to "complain" with a little color.

"What? Are you sure?"

After saying that, I regretted it. Did August still need to confirm this?
Diadona rushed in and immediately coughed, but he quickly suppressed it himself, not wanting to disturb Chu Yunfeng.

However, Diadona was completely fascinated by Chu Yunfeng's operation. He endured the torture of the smell of chili in the kitchen and took enough photos before coming out.

Whoo~!

cough cough cough.
Maybe he stayed in there for too long, and Diadona suddenly started coughing as soon as he came out, but even so, he was still looking at the beautiful pictures he had just taken.

Nine boxes, ninety-nine 81 dishes, this is so shocking!

Most chefs only make one or two or three dishes of this cold dish, but look at Chu Yunfeng, it's not cooking at all, it's obviously a one-man show.

Moreover, this solo show is at the level of a king and is unbeatable, so Diadona is now certain that Chu Yunfeng will definitely be the champion of this event.

In this way, Chu Yunfeng won a Grand Slam in a major event and championships in three minor events. This has never happened in previous competitions.

Whoo~!

Before Diadona could recover, he heard the sound of many footsteps, obviously in a hurry. It seemed that many people had noticed something strange here, and the Chinese team had become the center again.
