Chapter 294 Chapter 290 Two: Sweet Poached Eggs
The more familiar ingredients are, the easier it is to form a mindset, and eggs are one of the representatives.

That's right, almost everyone can cook eggs. Let's take the simplest boiled eggs. What's so difficult about throwing them directly into hot water?Even three-year-olds can.

However, if you think about it carefully, how many people can accurately control the time of boiling eggs?Are you cooking eggs by feeling?Probably good, almost, should be ok, the time difference of these words can be very large.

However, egg whites are very delicate ingredients. If you want egg whites to achieve the best texture, there is a short golden time. If the golden time is less than the golden time, it will be raw, and if it exceeds the golden time, it will be old. There are very few people who can really grasp the golden time.

These are the most basic boiled eggs, such as poached eggs, single-sided fried eggs, double-sided fried eggs, hot spring eggs, etc. The requirements for time and heat are stricter, and very few of them can be cooked well.

So Qin Yu didn't feel relaxed at all. Regardless of the small size of the eggs, the knowledge is great. Long Meier must have seen this point in choosing eggs as the ingredients for the competition.

On the judging stage, Long Meier saw everyone's reactions in her eyes, most people's reactions were in line with her expectations, except for a few people who had serious expressions and did not relax at all, including Qin Yu undoubtedly.

"I'm not embarrassing him, right? I just want to test his basic skills, um, that's it." Long Meier was talking to herself, but she forgot why she started rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the early morning to find clothes?

"Axue go to the spectator stand, don't worry I'm fine." Qin Yu turned to Murong Xue and said.

"Well, it's just a little egg. Brother Qin Yu, you will definitely be able to defeat him smoothly." Murong Xue secretly glanced at Qiu Li, turned around and ran towards the spectator stand.

"Is everything ready?" Long Meier raised her voice and asked.

"Ready!" The fifty contestants agreed in unison, most of them looked very relaxed, eager to try and confident, but they didn't know when they would cry.

"Very good, since we're all ready, let's take your seats." Long Meier waited for all 50 people to take their seats, "I'll announce the test questions for the first level, have you seen the eggs in front of you? The questions are very simple, poached eggs! "

Hearing the word poached egg, someone actually laughed out loud, afraid of offending Long Mei'er, she quickly covered her mouth and snickered.

"It turned out to be poached eggs, which is too simple."

"Isn't it too much fun to test poached eggs in the soul food test?"

"We are all first-grade food masters, and will soon become ninth-grade food spirits. Poached eggs are too cheap."

"Poached eggs, I'm too embarrassed to say that I'm admitted to Food Spirit, oh..."

While feeling simple, most people also feel embarrassed. If you say this, you will definitely be laughed at. At least let us make some big dishes, so we can go out and brag.

Qin Yu still didn't smile. The reason was very simple. There was only one egg in front of him. Could there be a limit on the number of eggs?

As it turned out, Long Meier saw everyone's reactions in her eyes, with a mocking smile on her lips, she patted the table and said loudly, "Don't be too happy, each of you only has one egg, that is to say, you only have one egg." One chance to make the perfect candied poached egg, any failure will stop you there!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was dead silent for an instant, was it really that extreme joy begets sorrow?

Looking at the only egg in front of them, most of the contestants are dumbfounded. There is only one egg, and there is only one chance. If the failure is equal to the first level, they will be eliminated. If they are eliminated because of the failure of the small egg assessment, they will definitely be laughed at when they go back. Yes, whoever falls on eggs will definitely never eat eggs again in the future.

Just at this moment, Long Meier added weight to the pressure scale: "Please note, what I want is a perfect candied poached egg. Fire control is very important. Poached eggs that do not meet my requirements will be judged as failure." .”

The faces of the contestants finally changed. Candied poached eggs are very common. After cutting, the egg yolk will flow out like sticky candy. The visual and taste are very good, but the perfect candied poached eggs are not easy to make, and the fire control is quite good. Important, overcooked and overcooked can't form a perfect sugar center.

There is only one egg, and if you make a perfect candied poached egg, you will be eliminated if you make a slight mistake. The psychological pressure of the contestants suddenly increased.

However, is this the end?

Of course not, Long Meier did not take out the hourglass, but took out a stick of incense: "I want to see a perfect candied poached egg before this incense burns out, but..."

The conversation changed suddenly, Long Meier actually pinched off two-thirds of the incense, pointed to the remaining one-third and said: "The time for a stick of incense is too long, and an egg definitely doesn't need that long, so we The three judges unanimously decided to shorten it by two-thirds, right?"

After speaking, Long Meier turned her head to look at the other two judges. The two judges immediately nodded, looking very serious, but their foreheads were a little sweaty.

Looking at the two-thirds of the incense burnt, a contestant finally turned pale and exclaimed. Converted to modern time, a stick of incense is about three ten minutes, and one third is ten minutes.

It takes 10 minutes to boil boiled eggs to complete the perfect candied poached eggs. The time is really tight, and the tension is so tight that we have to race against time. If there is a slight difference, the eggs will not be cooked at all!

This time, not to mention the other contestants, even Qin Yu felt nervous. He even boiled water and boiled eggs, and had to make a perfect candied poached egg within 10 minutes. The time was horribly tight.

Seeing that the contestants began to sweat nervously on their foreheads, and they no longer had the relaxed look just now, Long Meier felt very satisfied, clapped her hands and said, "It just so happens that the three of us judges haven't had breakfast yet, I hope you all can present yourself." Serve the perfect candied poached eggs, and the assessment begins!"

After finishing speaking, Long Meier lit the incense, gathered her skirt and sat down, and the two judges next to her also sat down one after another.

"Started?" Seeing the curling green smoke, the contestants came back to their senses. Under the heavy pressure, they lost their composure and panicked. Several pots fell to the ground.

There were no more than five calm people in the arena, including Qiu Li and Qin Yu. Their movements were almost synchronized. They lit the fire, fetched the pot, added water, and boiled the water in an orderly manner without wasting any time.

At this time, the more flustered the worse things will be. If you want to pass the test, you must seize every minute and every second.

It wasn't until the pot was covered that Qin Yu had the time to look at others. After the pot was covered, Qiu Li immediately closed his eyes and lowered his head, tapping his fingers lightly without being disturbed by the outside world.

Except for him, Qiu Li and a few people, most of the people were still in a state of panic, and some even forgot to cover the pot when they boiled the water. If he could finish boiling the boiled eggs within the specified time, he would eat the whole pot.
