One Piece of Food

Chapter 42 Doubts from peers (recommended votes)

Because the contestants come from various districts and counties, some contestants' homes are closer to Qianyang City than Zunyi is to Qianyang.Therefore, this time, there is no need to gather in the city. All the contestants will go to Qianyang City to report on the morning of September 9 or one day in advance.

Mae Tan is more than 200 kilometers away from Qianyang City, and it takes 2 hours to drive. However, the opening ceremony and seminar start at 10 o'clock, so it is necessary to start early in the morning.

At 9 o'clock in the morning on September 29, Rao Mingyang, Han Qin and Tian Lao set off from Mae Tan after having breakfast.

At 9:[-], the three arrived at the Qianzhou Provincial Culinary Institute, where the Qianzhou Provincial Famous Snack Competition was held.

Report to the participating team in Zunyi City first, and then go to the reception desk of the organizer to fill out the entry form together, allocate dormitories, participating classrooms and kitchens, and receive the entry card.

Finally, after inquiring about the time for the preliminary competition in the afternoon, Tian Laosan returned to Mae Tan.He was going back to Mae Tan, and he brought fresh mung bean flour and crispy meat to Rao Mingyang before the preliminary round in the afternoon.

Seeing Tian Laosan's car disappear into the traffic flow, Rao Mingyang suddenly felt that having a car was really convenient.No matter what the grade is, it is much more convenient to go anywhere with a car.

"When the restaurant opens, and when we earn money, we will first buy a car." Rao Mingyang thought in his heart.

At 9 a.m. on September 29, the 10rd Qianzhou Famous Snack Competition officially started.But both the opening ceremony and the seminar are stages for leaders and experts, and contestants like Rao Mingyang can only listen.

After the two-hour seminar, go to the college's large cafeteria for a buffet.

In order to take the opportunity to advertise, the leaders of the Culinary Academy arranged for the best culinary teachers in the school to cook a buffet, which tasted pretty good.

After a few hours of rest at noon, Rao Mingyang and other contestants who needed to make preliminary preparations entered the classroom first and began to make their own preparations.

After Rao's famous three mushroom and chicken soups were ready, and Tian Laosan also delivered fresh mung bean flour and crispy meat to the school, it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the primary election began.

This time Rao's well-known chef is in the middle, and the position is average, neither good nor bad.After the three judges tasted the previous dozen snacks, they came to Rao Mingyang's kitchen.

I haven't tasted dozens of snacks in a classroom, and several judges haven't felt taste fatigue.

Walking to Rao Mingyang's chef, one of the judges took a deep breath, pointed to Rao Mingyang's soup pot with great interest and asked, "What kind of soup is this? It's delicious!"

Rao Mingyang replied that the broth was made from Changting River Frog Chicken in Southern Fujian Province, plus the king of mushrooms, Gallus fir, together with his own exclusive secret recipe.

As gourmets, these judges naturally know the names of Hetian Chicken and Gallipodium Mushroom.Hearing that it was the chicken soup made from these two things, I couldn't help but nodded secretly, with a feeling of anticipation.

Then, when Rao Mingyang cooked three bowls of mung bean noodles for them, after the three tasted the first bite, they all praised "delicious" in unison.

Naturally, several judges also ate up all the mung bean powder in their respective bowls, unlike tasting other snacks after a bite or two.

After the three judges finished eating Rao's famous crispy mung bean noodles, they all gave a pass evaluation by coincidence.

As a result, Rao Mingyang became one of the few contestants in this classroom who passed the primary selection.

However, Rao Mingyang passed the primary election, but the players behind him were miserable.

Just like when Rao Mingyang participated in the selection of county-level famous snacks in Mae Tan County, the three judges felt that after eating Rao Mingyang's crispy mung bean noodles, the following snacks felt tasteless.

As a result, more than a dozen snacks behind Rao Mingyang were wiped out, and none of the snacks was approved by at least two judges. As a result, only 6 snacks passed the primary selection in this classroom, and none of the snacks after Rao Mingyang passed.

After the three judges left, the contestants in the classroom began to discuss.

A woman in her 30s said, "It's weird, how come none of the dozen or so people behind us can pass?"

Another person also said indignantly: "My Douhua Noodles won the Bronze Award last year. This year, I prepared better. I wanted to challenge for the Gold Award. But I couldn't even make it to the finals. That's ridiculous. ?”

Others were also noisy, discussing why the first dozen people in this classroom passed several primary elections, but the last dozen people failed none.

Then, everyone locked their eyes on the last person who passed the primary election - Rao Mingyang.

The woman pointed at Rao Mingyang and said, "He was the last one to pass. Is there something wrong with his soup powder, which affected the taste of the judges?"

Others said: "No way?"

The woman said: "It's not clear. You all know that eating too much monosodium glutamate will spoil the taste and affect the taste. Maybe there is too much monosodium glutamate in his soup powder, which makes the judges tasteless after eating gone."

Hearing this, Rao Mingyang, who didn't care at first, quit, and immediately retorted: "Hey, big sister, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! I only put salt, there is no MSG at all, okay Bar?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard that, if there is no MSG in the soup powder, does it still have taste?
Everyone didn't believe it, so they gathered around and searched for a while at Rao's famous kitchen, but they really couldn't find MSG or similar seasonings, only a few packets of broth seasoning and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar bought online MSG.

What they didn't know was that with such delicious ingredients as chicken fir mushrooms and broth essence powder, Rao Mingyang didn't need to put MSG in the soup powder at all.

The eldest sister did not believe in evil, so she said to Rao Mingyang: "You said that there is no MSG, so who knows if it is true or not? Do you dare to let me taste your mung bean powder? I will know if there is MSG or not."

Rao Mingyang chuckled and said, "Why don't you dare? Anyway, there are still so many soups and mung bean noodles here. I will cook a few bowls. You can taste it and see if I should enter the finals."

Then, under the supervision of everyone, Rao Mingyang cooked more than ten bowls of mung bean powder with the remaining soup, and gave these unconvinced contestants a taste.

The eldest sister brought the first bowl, and couldn't wait to mix it up and start eating.

After she took the first bite, her complexion changed, and she gave Rao Mingyang a complicated look, then she ate silently and stopped talking.

When the others saw that the elder sister who took the lead in making criticisms had stopped talking, they couldn't help but feel a little strange, and didn't know what was going on.Just when Rao Mingyang cooked it again, everyone picked up their bowls and started tasting.

Then, everyone was conquered by this unique and delicious soup powder.

"It's really delicious, and it will definitely be no problem to enter the final."

"It's so fresh and fragrant, but it really doesn't have the smell of MSG."

"This taste, not only to enter the finals, but also to win a gold medal!"

After tasting Rao Mingyang's crispy mung bean noodles, no one doubted that there was something wrong with Rao Mingyang's soup noodles.

On the contrary, everyone also understood why none of the next dozen or so contestants passed the primary selection of the judges.

This is because compared with Rao Mingyang crispy meat and mung bean noodles, the following snacks were not considered delicious at all by the judges, so they failed the primary selection. It was not because there was too much MSG in Rao Mingyang soup noodles. The problem.
