After traveling through time, the restaurant I opened became a big hit

Chapter 122 Drawing Lots
The rich collagen in pig's trotters forms a thick soup after stewing, which gives the pig's trotter soup a unique taste.

It is really delicious, to use the local words of the mountain city.

That is, it’s very comfortable!
The next day, when he arrived at the recording site of the program, Cui Zongli greeted everyone as he did in previous times.

He is very proud of himself recently. The first two episodes of "Chef Contest" have been aired and received very good response online.

Many netizens have expressed that there is a new variety show to watch while eating, so they don’t have to watch "The King of Cooking" while eating.

But when watching "MasterChef", you must have something to eat, otherwise you will be killed by this variety show.

Therefore, Choi Jong-ri has recently ushered in a small peak in his career and is more passionate about recording programs.

After the opening remarks, it is time to officially announce the theme of this recording.

"The theme of this issue is spicy. There are many kinds of spicy food, and each kind of spicy food has its own unique charm."

"We are now in a mountain city, where spicy food is super famous. Not only that, spicy food is also a way for mountain city people to express their emotions."

"The spiciness of the mountain city is a kind of spiciness that goes deep into the bone marrow, representing the hot, straightforward and passionate character of the people in the mountain city. This spiciness is not only a taste experience, but also a life attitude."

"Whether you're eating hotpot or skewers, the spicy impact can make people feel the enthusiasm and vitality of the people in the mountain city."

"Then our task this time is to find the spicy flavor that the people of Shancheng like the most."

This episode is similar to the previous ones, with each group sending one member to the stage to draw a random spicy specialty of Zhongshan City.

Each group of members will have two days to study in the store, and the remaining five days will be spent selling together at the place arranged by the program team, and the final ranking will be determined based on customer flow.

There are now seven teams left in the show, corresponding to the seven specialties of the mountain city.

First of all, there is the hot pot in the mountain city, which is widely loved for its spicy and fragrant taste.

The soup base is made from premium chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, paired with a variety of meats, vegetables and other ingredients, leaving you with an unforgettable aftertaste.

Then there are the small noodles in the mountain city. As a signature delicacy of Chongqing, the noodles are chewy and strong, paired with rich seasonings and delicious meat sauce, and full of spicy flavor, giving people a mellow and delicious feeling.

There is also Maoxuewang, a hotpot-based specialty dish that has attracted much attention for its spicy and rich taste and rich ingredients.

The soup base of Maoxuewang is a blend of various peppers and spices, plus a variety of meats, seafood, tofu and other rich ingredients, making it a spicy and delicious delicacy.

This dish is very spicy and suitable for diners who like to challenge the limit of spiciness. People who can't eat spicy food will not be able to eat this dish easily.

Speaking of spicy food, there is another dish in Shancheng that is spicy and numbing with a strong flavor, and that is spicy chicken.

The spicy chicken in Shancheng is made with chicken as the main ingredient, with a lot of chili peppers and peppercorns. The chicken is spicy and delicious, with a strong spicy flavor, and is a regular on the Shancheng table.

Next is the hot and sour noodles. Shancheng hot and sour noodles are loved for their unique hot and sour taste.

The vermicelli is delicate and smooth, and paired with the hot and sour soup and rich side dishes, it really whets your appetite.

Following Cui Zongli's introduction, the shop owners walked onto the stage one by one, with their corresponding delicacies displayed on the big screen behind them.

Next is grilled fish. The grilled fish in Shancheng is made from fresh fish and grilled with rich seasonings and spices.

The fish meat is tender and juicy, and the skin is crispy and delicious. For most people in mountain cities, it is the first choice for midnight snack.

The last one is Chuan Chuan Xiang. Although it originated in the neighboring city, it also has its unique flavor in the mountain city.

Various ingredients are threaded onto bamboo skewers, first cooked in boiling water, and then dipped in a unique base sauce. The various flavors are grilled like a string of fragrant "Chuan Chuan Xiang" skewers.

After all the shop owners stood on the stage, it was time for the contestants to be selected. According to the rankings of the previous issue, the first to draw lots were naturally Jiang Li and his team.

Fortunately, Jiang Li and his friends drew Shancheng Noodles.

He Anguo looked at the note with "Shancheng Noodles" written on it with a smile.

"It seems that our luck is good again. It seems that the drawing of lots will be left to us, Jiang Li."

Jiang Li smiled embarrassedly. She didn't expect that her luck was really good.

After everyone has drawn their lots, the rest of the time will be left to them.

Master Dong, who runs Shancheng Xiaomian, has been in the business for more than 20 years, and his shop is a must-visit when traveling to Shancheng.

Master Dong also has his own unique understanding of authentic Chongqing noodles.

When everyone arrived at Master Dong's shop, it was not big, with only four tables scattered around.

There are quite a few folding tables outside the store, as well as plenty of plastic benches, which can still accommodate quite a few people.

After introducing ourselves, everyone gradually became familiar with each other.

He Anguo and the other two who are a little older are about the same age as Master Dong, and they are all chefs who have made great achievements in their respective fields.

They had a lot of common topics to chat with each other. Jiang Li and Lin Jiaying could occasionally say a few words to each other, but I mainly listened to them chatting.

At this time, Master Dong was making the base soup for Shancheng noodles, which is the soul of the delicious Shancheng noodles.

As we all know, Shancheng noodles are spicy and delicious.

In particular, Master Dong uses the finest chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns to make a spicy and fragrant base soup that makes people unable to stop eating it once they start.

While the soup was cooking, Master Dong prepared to knead the dough and prepared enough for five people.

While kneading, Master Dong did not forget to give some scientific knowledge to the people.

"Authentic Xiaomian noodles must be chewy and springy, so they can better absorb the flavor of the soup."

Everyone stood in a circle around, keeping a distance where they could see Master Dong without disturbing him.

The next step is to cook the noodles. Rinse the cooked noodles with cold water again so that the noodles will be chewier and taste better.

In addition to cooking the noodles, Chef Dong also added some vegetables and bean sprouts and blanched them in water.

Fry a little more minced meat, and when it’s done, remove from the pan and set aside.

In addition to being spicy and fragrant, authentic Xiaomian is also served with various side dishes, such as bean sprouts, minced meat, chopped green onions, etc., which makes the taste of Shancheng Xiaomian even richer and more diverse.

Then Master Dong prepared five soup bowls and put in the seasonings.

If you want Shancheng noodles to taste good, its seasoning is also very important.

Master Dong adds various seasonings into the soup bowl, including minced garlic, minced ginger, pepper powder, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, etc., to create a rich flavor.

Next add the soup base and seasonings and stir until dissolved.

Chef Dong puts the cooked noodles into the pot, and then adds the cooked side dishes and minced meat.
