Nongmen Xiaofunu’s food guide

Chapter 37 The last game of the village examination

Finally, the children were called back and stayed at home for the time being.

It wasn't until later when they heard the old village chief and others knocking the gong to tell everyone not to be nervous that everyone relaxed a little, but no one dared to go to the mountain again in a short time.

It’s just that there is another source of income, and other people in the village sigh.

Song Yue cooked as usual, and on the day of the competition, she competed as usual.

She was the only one who won in the old Song family.

Only ten people from the whole village participated in the final competition, and the old village chief and others had already screened out many people.

It's really not easy to win.

Both Zhou and Ma could feel the intensity, and there was no shame in losing the first game.

They eat the food cooked by Song Yue every day, and they know very well how good Song Yue's cooking skills are. If they lose, they lose, but outsiders are skeptical.

The last game of the village examination.

The villagers came here early to grab a seat because the closer they were, the better chance they had of eating the competition dishes, so everyone rushed to sit in the front row.

Especially when I heard that the original silly girl in the village did not drown after she fell into the water, but she became a spirit and now cooks. The villagers all wanted to see the fun.

Even people from the next village came.

"Hey, who is the famous girl in your village? The one who was the fool before!"

"That's right, I heard that the dishes she cooks are extremely delicious. Are they really so amazing?"

"That's right, don't make it up just to create publicity about the fact that there is a god in your village?"

The villagers in this village were not convinced. Although they were not optimistic about Song Yue, she did win the first game and was about to win the second game.

Everyone fired back.

"Really, why are you lying to me? Someone in our village has eaten the dishes made by that girl. The meat smells like wine, is fat but not greasy, and is delicious!"

"Let's go home and think about adding some wine to stew the meat. It's more fragrant than before, but not as delicious as hers! This girl is a good cook!"

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see, this will soon be the last round of the village exam!"

As soon as the villagers of Dawan Village finished speaking, the old village chief over there also came on stage.

Villagers from other villages immediately looked over.

No one cares about small talk anymore.

Just listen to what the old village chief has to say.

Standing next to him were the newly appointed young Li Zheng and the previous government servant.

The old village chief took a piece of paper and read: "Today is the final competition of our village test. Everyone is required to make a dish with fish."

He said the fish was ready.

You can bring your own condiments.

Next, it depends on everyone’s performance. The requirement is to complete it within an hour.

Song Yue followed the other contestants and came forward to check, and found that the fish prepared for everyone was the same, that is - mandarin fish.

She almost immediately thought of the famous dish squirrel mandarin fish.

Compared with the sweet and sour fish she made before, it will be more delicate and have a different taste. Her previous cutting technique for the sweet and sour fish was to slice the fish into tiles, but the squirrel mandarin fish has more demanding knife skills. Taller.

And it’s also very ornamental.

Song Yue's mind turned around and she immediately started to lift up her sleeves and get ready to cook.

Others were still confused.

don't know how to do it.

The Xishi woman who amazed everyone with tofu last time, I wonder how she will cook this fish today?
Song Yue only glanced at the woman. She was just curious about her craftsmanship. Others were not interesting enough to her.

If she fails in the village examination.Then her cooking skills these days have been in vain, so there is no way she will lose.

381 is not worried about her losing.

381 also agrees with the host's improvement in popularity.

Because only when people in the village are no longer afraid of her will they eat her food. There will be competitions in the county later. As long as she wins the popularity, diners who want to eat her food will come one after another!
This time, the old village chief also thought about trying to be a commentator. His old voice said excitedly: "It seems that our young people's minds work very fast! Yue Yatou seems to be confident. Others still have to Work harder! If it exceeds an hour, it will be considered a failure!"

And a big incense had already been lit over there, and time was passing by little by little.

The villagers began to grit their teeth and prepare.

They had never cooked fish before, and they didn’t expect that this request would lock in the ingredients.

Without the advantage of good food, everyone can only get busy.

Ten people were all in front of their own temporary stoves.

Song Yue was not affected at all, she was immersed in her own world.

Concentrate on cooking the fish well.

The villagers below also became nervous following the old village chief's explanation.

Everyone is discussing who can win.

"I think the top three are not difficult at all. Look at how fish is used in cooking. It must be difficult! Although our Dawan Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, we really don't like to eat the things in the water. , that fish bone is just scary."

"That's right, although fish are difficult to catch, there are really not many who are willing to eat them. Some people were almost killed by fish bones before. Who dares to eat them?"

"Yes, there are still some fish that are black and slippery. I heard they turned into water ghosts!"

When the villagers in Dawan Village heard that fish was used for cooking, they were immediately disappointed. They thought it must be ordinary. No matter how the fish was cooked, wouldn't it still be the same?
Either stewed or roasted.

No matter how you cook it, it always tastes fishy.

The nearby villages all live around this river. Some people also like to eat fish, but there are less of them, and most of them still don't like it.

"That little girl is really good at pretending. She's not that old, but she looks like she's very powerful."

"She? She is the crazy girl we call her! Isn't it her? I see that she looks very good, like someone who can cook!"

"I also think that if you look at the others who are busy, she is the only one who is stable. If nothing else, her heart is more stable than others."

Everyone was not optimistic about Song Yue at first, but with her smooth operation.

Some were also shocked.

Song Yue cleaned the killed and gutted mandarin fish, chopped off the head, and then trimmed off both sides of the fish bones, leaving the tail intact.

The next step is to change the flower knife.

With the fish skin facing down, first make a vertical cut on the fish with a straight knife, and then make a diagonal cut. Do not cut through the skin, and make sure the distance between each cut is just right.

The fish flowers that come out like this are beautiful.

Song Yue's seasonings are all placed in a basket, half covered with a layer of blue floral cloth.

At the bottom is a round teacup filled with various condiments.

She could just reach out and get it.

There was no surveillance in ancient times, so she could cheat directly without any worries.

What seasonings are needed can be exchanged directly from the system warehouse.

After the fish is cut, add an appropriate amount of salt, an egg white, a spoonful of cooking wine, and marinate for 15 minutes.

While marinating the fish, you can prepare other ingredients and things.

When marinating is almost done, put the oil in the pan and preheat it. When the oil is warm, you can wrap the fish in sweet potato flour. Wrap it evenly. Finally, lift the fish tail and shake off the excess sweet potato flour. The oil will be at the right temperature. Put it in the pot and fry.
