Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 637 Evenly matched
The lineup of judges chosen by the old lady is very delicate. Among the five, Venerable Qinglian has the highest status and the highest prestige. A word from her is worth ten words from other people. Qian Hao, others are afraid of her status, so they dare not refute.Therefore, when selecting the lineup of judges, she included her son and Xuanyuan Che who were likely to stand on Feng Qian's side, and with her own vote, Feng Qian's chance of winning was much higher, but it was also Accidents can't be ruled out, if Leng Xian'er's cooking is indeed much better than Feng Qian's, she can't violate her conscience and forcefully judge Feng Qian as the winner. Therefore, the final outcome of the competition still depends on Feng Qian herself!
How could Venerable Qinglian not understand her thoughts?But she has absolute confidence in her apprentice, so she is not worried at all!
"Xian'er, show your true skills, don't disgrace Master!" Venerable Qinglian reminded.

Leng Xian'er bowed confidently: "Master, don't worry, this disciple will definitely do his best!"

Here, Xuanyuan Che also wanted to encourage Feng Qian, but was comforted by Feng Qian: "Don't worry, I am still very confident in my cooking skills, you just wait to eat the fish I cook!"

Xuanyuanche laughed softly, rolled up her sleeves for her personally, and thoughtfully said: "Just do your best!"

The old lady saw that it was almost time, and ordered people to light incense: "Okay, now I announce that the competition has officially begun!"

After the old lady finished speaking, Feng Qian took a deep breath, and took out the king mandarin fish she caught from Qingshan Lake from the storage compartment.

The fish is forty centimeters long and weighs two catties by visual estimation!

The head is large, the back is raised, the body color is brownish yellow, the abdomen is grayish white, and there are irregular dark brown plaques and spots on the side of the body.

Mandarin fish is common, but such a fat mandarin fish is not common!

What's even more surprising is that the surface of its tiny round scales glows with green light from time to time, which is a sign of a fourth-grade spiritual material, which means that it is a fourth-grade spiritual fish!
Among the guests, there are many knowledgeable ones, and they were amazed when they saw Feng Qian's fish.

"Could this be the mandarin fish king of Qingshan Lake in the legend?"

"No mistake! It's the first time I've seen such a fat mandarin fish, it must taste delicious!"

"It is said that the king mandarin fish is very difficult to catch. How did the queen catch it?"

"I don't know what the queen plans to cook with it, it's really exciting!"

Murong Yan glanced at the mandarin fish king in Feng Qian's hand, and narrowed his cold eyes slightly. They originally went for this fish, but they didn't expect it to fall into Feng Qian's hands in the end. He was very worried, Leng Xian'er He lost at the starting line from the very beginning, but in the next moment, his worries were swept away.

I saw that Leng Xian'er also took out a fish, it was a grass carp, 45 cm long and weighed two catties, it was even fatter than Feng Qian's mandarin fish king!

What's more, there is a layer of faint blue light on the light brown fish scales, it is actually a fifth-rank spiritual fish, and its rank is one rank higher than Fengqian's!
Now, Murong Yan was completely relieved.

He is clear about Leng Xian'er's cooking skills. Now that even the ingredients have won at the starting line, what else should he worry about?
In this competition, Leng Xian'er is sure to win!
Contrary to his mood, Xuanyuanche narrowed his cold eyes slightly, and his heart sank. The situation on the field is obviously not good for Qianqian, can she turn defeat into victory?
Feng Qian was also observing Leng Xian'er's fish, and sincerely praised: "Good fish!"

Leng Xian'er looked up at her, and heard her continue: "There are six key points in picking fish. First, look at the shape of the fish, second, look at the fish's eyes, third, smell the fish's gills, fourth, touch the fish body, fifth, pinch the fish flesh, and sixth, look at the fish belly. The most important thing is to observe the fish eyes! As the saying goes, you can judge the spirit! The fish with full and protruding eyes and transparent and clear corneas are fresh fish; It's fresh. Sister Xianer's fish has full, bright eyes and is burning brightly. It looks like a good fish out of a hundred!"

Leng Xian'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Sister, you have good eyesight! My fish has been raised carefully, using the best water from the first snow melt, eating the best quality shrimp and the freshest aquatic plants, so It is larger than ordinary spirit fish, and its grade is also higher than ordinary spirit fish."

After hearing her statement, everyone was in an uproar. It turns out that a good fish is bred so meticulously, and the resources consumed in it are far beyond their imagination, which is really extravagant!

Feng Qian shook her head secretly, the ingredients were originally meant to serve people, but now they turned the cart before the horse and became people serving the ingredients.

Leng Xian'er suddenly asked: "I don't know which dish my sister is going to cook?"

Feng Qian didn't hide it, and replied frankly: "I'm going to make a squirrel mandarin fish, how about you?"

Leng Xian'er smiled slightly and said, "What I'm going to do is boiled fish fillets! I was afraid that I would make it harder for my sister, so now I feel relieved."

"Boiled fish fillets?" Feng Qian weighed it in her heart. The two dishes made by the two of them have completely opposite tastes. One is sweet and sour, and the other is spicy. It's hard to say which one is better. Each has its own characteristics and flavors, and the key to winning or losing lies in their respective culinary skills.

Withdrawing her gaze, Feng Qian began to handle the fish body.First, remove the scales, gills and viscera of the mandarin fish. However, Fengqian’s treatment method is a bit special. She did not cut the abdomen directly, but cut the small eye at the back of the abdomen and near the tail with a knife to make the abdomen The inner fish intestines are separated from the fish body, and then two chopsticks are inserted into the abdomen from the mouth, rotated twice, and the internal organs and gills are pulled out together.

Some of the guests were talking.

"It's the first time I've seen such a method of removing internal organs and gills!"

"Why make it so complicated? Wouldn't it be better to have a caesarean section?"

"You don't understand this, do you? The dorsal and anal fins of mandarin fish have sharp spines, and they contain a small amount of toxin. After being stabbed, people may experience symptoms such as swelling, pain, fever, and chills, so be extra careful when handling them." The queen did this to avoid accidents, and it looks very professional, not a beginner at first glance!"

"Amazing!"

As soon as the admiration fell from one side, there was another sound of admiration on the other side!
It turned out that Leng Xian'er was dealing with the fish scales, and her method of removing the fish scales was very ingenious. What she used was neither a knife nor a spoon, but an ordinary piece of radish.

It is not exact to say that it is a radish, but it should be a piece of radish head with a slope. Align the pointed part of the slope of the radish with the fish scales, and lift it against the direction of the fish scales. It is neat and does not cause any harm to the fish, unlike knives and spoons, which may damage the flesh of the fish with a little force.

This is a real master!

The details are studied to the extreme!
"It turns out that you can still remove fish scales in this way. It's really insightful!"

"Yeah, unheard of!"

"Go back and try!"

The guests benefited a lot and were full of praise.
