It's not too late to love again

Chapter 352 The Contest of Champions 2
Xiaoying tried her best to stay awake, her movements were obviously slower than usual, and she was even more careful when chopping vegetables, almost cutting her hand a few times...

Those who knew that Xiaoying had a fever, Mr. Wu and his wife, and Fandi secretly sweated for Xiaoying, and Fandi was even more prepared. If Xiaoying's situation was wrong, he would immediately rush Go up and drag her down...

Xiaoying only felt that her whole body was on fire, top-heavy, and her body was floating, as if she might lose her center of gravity and fall down at any time... Even in this state, she can still maintain a firm and calm heart while doing the work. vegetable.It's just because she knows that there are masters and wives watching under the stage, and Fandi is also there.Just today, she met Fandi, she lived and died together with him in adversity, she saw the importance Fandi attached to him, her mottled heart came back to life, and all the pain she suffered Walking away in his arms, she was surrounded by a feeling of warmth and luck, which was the driving force behind her ability to continue the game. It was this feeling that made her able to endure, even though her body was relatively weak, but her spirit was unprecedented. High and full of fighting spirit.

The first dish, Xiaoying made stir-fried snail meat, and the second dish was spicy chicken. The score she got was very close to the other one. That was a strong competitor. Although she didn’t have a chef’s certificate, she was The one who came out of Liang Yu's cooking class was a student Liang Yu was very optimistic about, named Ge Cong, whom Xiaoying had met in the cooking class before.

Ge Cong is Liang Yu's favorite student. Seeing him all the way to the finals and showing his strength well, Liang Yu was quite gratified. Sitting on the judge's table, he would chat with Luo Kaixuan from time to time, smiling all the time, sometimes unconsciously. Looking carefully at Ge Cong, he nodded slightly, showing approval.

Of course, Liang Yu hoped that Ge Cong would win the "Newcomer Award", but his most threatening competitor was the woman in a mask.

The tricks in this are very subtle. Luo Kaixuan's attitude towards the masked woman is a bit contradictory. On the one hand, he admires her, and on the other hand, he feels uncomfortable because Fandi was very intimate with the masked woman in public last time, especially now. Di ran away from marriage. Although Luo Kaixuan didn't know why, his impression of Fandi was completely ruined, and his attitude towards Xiaoying was also shaken, and his appreciation gradually faded.

And Ge Cong is a student of Liang Yu's cooking class, so Luo Kaixuan has to take Liang Yu's face into consideration, so in terms of scores, if Ge Cong and the mask girl are at the same level, Ge Cong's score will be higher.

Soon came the third course, which was also the most critical moment.For the scores of the first two dishes, one of Jun Cheng’s chefs took the lead among the contenders for the “Golden Hand”, while among the contenders for the “Newcomer Award”, Ge Cong and Xiaoying tied. the same.

This is wonderful, and it's also hanging.The people in the audience have been divided into two factions, one faction supports Ge Cong, and the other supports Xiaoying. They are not sure who will win the newcomer award.

Xiaoying persisted in the competition despite her illness. Not to mention the hardships involved. It is rare for her to perform like this, but competitions are competitions after all, and what is important is the result. No one cares about the process.

The last dish is very important, it will be the last chance to show cooking skills in the competition, once this dish comes out, there will be no more suspense.

What kind of food will Xiaoying cook?Before that, when she was preparing for the competition, she was worried about this question, and she made a decision after thinking about it countless times.

Crystal hoof, grilled abalone in original shell, dry-roasted rock carp, Buddha jumping over the wall... All kinds of famous dishes are served, not to mention the audience, even the judges and the reporters are drooling... This is a show The feast is a multiple stimulus of vision, smell and taste, which makes people feel as if the tip of the tongue is jumping!

The dishes presented by the seven contestants in the front are all worthy of the table in everyone's eyes. They think that the competition should be such a dish to be outstanding, but unfortunately, the last one served is actually...

The eight freshly cooked delicacies were placed in front of the judges, and after tasting them one by one, they all nodded frequently, their admiration was beyond words, but when the eighth came, the judges were all stunned, and Liang Yu even frowned. She frowned, slightly flattened her mouth, and glanced at the contestants with sharp eyes: "Why is it fried rice with eggs?"

That's right, it's a bowl of egg fried rice, and the person who made this bowl of egg fried rice is Xiaoying.

As the honorary president of the Culinary Society and one of the organizers of this competition, Luo Kaixuan couldn't help but feel a little displeased when he saw this: "Is that Lin Fan? This is the last match of the finals, and you just use a bowl of fried rice with eggs to compete with the others." Is it a comparison? Are you too confident or do you not pay attention to the game at all? Why is it fried rice with eggs, can you give me an explanation?"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, and the voice of discussion made the scene noisy.

It's no wonder that Luo Kaixuan asked this question. Looking at the dishes made by other contestants in each round, they are all big meals, and the ingredients are very particular. Even if they are taken to the most advanced banquets, they are all within reach. They are gorgeous, exquisite and well-known dishes. , should have appeared in the finals, but what is this bowl of egg fried rice in front of me?It's too homely.

Faced with Luo Kaixuan's sharp questioning, Xiaoying was not nervous. She had expected this to happen a long time ago, and she was ready to face doubts when she decided to make fried rice with eggs.

At this moment, Xiaoying is already holding on forcibly, feeling dizzy several times, but she is holding the low table in front of her with her hands, so as to stabilize herself.

"Mr. judges, I'm not overconfident. I have my own reasons and reasons for making this egg fried rice. If possible, please ask the judges to taste it first, and then I will explain it?" Xiaoying took it easy. Slowly, bravely met Luo Kaixuan's gaze, unwavering and full of sincerity.

After all, Luo Kaixuan still has to take the face of the game into consideration, and he can't let the game become a joke at the last moment, so he no longer insists on asking Xiaoying to explain now, and can only take the lead and try the egg fried rice first, this is what he should show demeanor.

"Okay, let's try it first." Luo Kaixuan picked up the chopsticks as he spoke.

The other judges also picked up their chopsticks one after another, with different expressions.

Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Please try this kimchi, judges and teachers. It's best eaten with fried rice with eggs."

That's right, there is a plate of kimchi next to the egg fried rice, which is ginger.

Competing with egg fried rice and kimchi, Xiaoying's method is too scary and surprising in people's eyes, and people's reaction to this is actually different from before.Even those who support Xiaoying are puzzled why she chooses such homely egg fried rice and kimchi at such an important moment?How can this be used for competition?Didn't you seek your own death?

Some people feel sorry for Xiaoying, some people shake their heads, and some people think that she will definitely lose!

But Xiaoying, the person involved, was still standing there quietly. Her eyes were calm and calm, without panic or fear. Her eyes were slightly curved, which showed that she was always smiling.She gives people the impression that two words... calm.

Only a truly powerful person can be so calm in the face of doubts at this moment?Isn't she afraid of losing the chance to win the championship?Aren't you afraid of being criticized for being indecisive?

There are also people who are beginning to understand why Xiaoying is so relaxed. It must be that she has let go of the mentality of the competition. Her eyes are not fixed on the champion, but simply to cook a dish she wants to cook.How could you do this if you didn't have an extreme passion for cooking?
After the judges tasted the egg fried rice and kimchi, they were all quiet, and no one spoke for a while.

The host is a little embarrassed, isn't this a cold scene?The clever host hurried forward and put the microphone in front of Juncheng Master Chen's judges: "Master Chen, how about this egg fried rice?"

The silence of the judges just now made everyone present feel that Xiaoying probably had nothing to do this time, so when the host asked about the judges, some people couldn't bear to listen any longer...

Master Chen's serious expression suddenly loosened, he put down his chopsticks, looked at Xiaoying meaningfully, and then said lightly: "This bowl of fried rice with eggs is called Osmanthus Rice. Everyone should know that frying a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus rice is a severe test for the chef's skills, and the difficulty is extremely high. Even senior chefs may not dare to say that they can fry a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus rice that meets the standard. This A bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus rice is delicious, fresh and delicious. Look closely, almost every egg is wrapped in rice grains, which is very uniform. Many people make sweet-scented osmanthus rice with eggs and rice grains separately. It sticks evenly on the rice grains, but the rice grains cannot stick together and have to be separated one by one. This is the most difficult part of it. To be honest, if I was asked to fry a portion on the spot, I might not have this Lin Fan Well fried."

Master Chen's evaluation surprised the audience. Who would have thought that a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus rice would get such a high evaluation?Who is Master Chen?The head chef of a six-star hotel!He even said that he may not be able to fry such sweet-scented osmanthus rice, and this sentence is enough to make Xiaoying's reputation skyrocket!

Another female judge saw that Master Chen had spoken, so of course she stopped being silent, and said with emotion: "Osmanthus rice is really difficult to cook well. This chef has completely grasped the essence of osmanthus rice. The best sweet-scented osmanthus rice I have ever eaten, and this kimchi, the saltiness is just right, and there is a little bit of sweetness, but the sweetness is not MSG. I guess it may be rock sugar or the like, and the kimchi contains The red oil is so fragrant, it is because of such fragrant red oil, it has the effect of turning decay into magic, making kimchi extra refreshing. Presumably the red oil is carefully prepared with an exclusive secret recipe. Osmanthus rice and red oil, see It seems to be a home-cooked taste, but the actual chef has a delicate mind... I personally think that using expensive ingredients to make delicious dishes is certainly a superb culinary skill, but using simple and ordinary ingredients like this to make familiar home-cooked tastes It’s the rarest thing to do so well.”

Good guy, it seems that sweet-scented osmanthus rice has become a big hit again!It's so unexpected that it's so well received. I thought it was useless at first, but now it seems to be turning around!

The livelier the scene, the happier the host was, and he asked Luo Kaixuan again with a smile.

Luo Kaixuan's answer was simple: not bad.

Liang Yu's reaction was very flat, and his expression was even more calm. There was an inexplicable smile on his charming face: "It's been a long time since I ate sweet-scented osmanthus rice and kimchi. I didn't expect to be able to eat them in the competition. They taste good. Did not disappoint."

She didn't give much praise, and her words were a bit formal, but careful people could observe that she ate more than other judges, and the last piece of kimchi went into her mouth.But why this evaluation?There are so many dishes that didn't disappoint, and she didn't say anything when she said it. How about a few words?

Liang Yu was selfish. She was very surprised that Xiaoying's cooking skills were so superb. She had practiced this sweet-scented osmanthus rice many times, but it was not as delicious as this bowl. As for kimchi, she was even more greedy, especially It's red oil, she wished she could make such fragrant red oil.But these can only be kept in the heart, she is not stupid enough to say it, otherwise how could her protégé Ge Cong be ranked first?Xiaoying is Ge Cong's strong enemy, Liang Yu will definitely suppress Xiaoying.
