Master of all beasts

Chapter 49

The culinary competition was held as scheduled. First of all, it was the opening meeting. At the opening meeting, Matt met many people who would never be able to meet on weekdays. First, the Emperor of the Empire, and then the Duke of Putinton, whom Matt had already met. In addition, there are representatives sent by various countries in the mainland, the judges and organizers of this competition.

The opening ceremony was exactly the same as those various opening meetings on the earth, and it was also very boring. Matt was drowsy after listening to the lengthy speeches one after another, but because Matt was in the first row, even if If you want to sleep, you have to pay attention to the influence, and it seems that these people in other worlds seem to be very enthusiastic about such speeches. There are only two people beside Matt, one is Master Klimt, and the other is a Chinese It is said that the young man is also very famous in the culinary arts circle. The two of them are listening carefully with wide-eyed eyes, and it seems that they are enjoying themselves very much.

Finally, Matt's hard days finally came to an end, because the master of ceremonies announced the start of the culinary competition after nearly ten people gave speeches.

As soon as he heard the start of the game, Matt quickly ordered Xu Tianhao beside him to start the preparations. As for why Jackson wasn't here to cooperate with Matt, it was mainly because Xu Tianhao and Matt had been together for a long time, so the coordination seemed better. Moreover, Jackson, as one of the managers of Huaxia Restaurant, seems not suitable to do it himself.

After Xu Tianhao prepared the basic tools and materials, Matt looked up at the rest of the people. They seemed to have just started, even Master Klimt who was in the same row as him.

Matt didn't think too much, and now he is playing with one mind.

Of course, Matt's actions did not hide from everyone on the rostrum. All the judges and guests looked at Matt and began to discuss. Among them, the emperor of the empire was the most excited. The emperor's participation in the culinary competition this time can be said to have created a new history of the entire continent. Even if the emperor of the empire loves food, the main reason for his participation is because of Matt. How can he calm down now? As the emperor's most basic etiquette, he might jump to Matt's side at once, ready to watch Matt's every step.

The first thing Matt started with was the braised lion head.

The main ingredients of lion head are pork, flour, lotus root slices, vegetables and other very simple materials. These things are also very common in the continent.

Soon, at Matt's request, Xu Tianhao cut the pork loin into small pieces, then put a small amount of water into the basin, and at the same time put the flour and the pork loin into the water, and put in various Seasoning, salt, wine, and eggs, etc., are quickly stirred evenly, and when the stirring reaches a certain point, the flour and pork meat are kneaded into small balls of similar size.

Then Matt raised the fire and heated the oil in the pot. When the temperature of the oil rose to a certain level, he quickly put the prepared meatballs into the boiling pot.

I saw the meatballs that had just been put into the pot, and the water, aroused little oil droplets.

After the meatballs were put into the pot for a while, the surface of the meatballs was quickly covered with a layer of light yellow skin. Matt quickly picked up the meatballs in the pot. At the same time, Xu Tianhao received Matt’s The command.

In a new pot, put some water and start to heat the water. Matt put the freshly fished meatballs into the ginger, onion, cooking wine, soy sauce and other seasonings. These seasonings were not used in the mainland. , but now it is popular because of Huaxia restaurants.

Soon, under the raging fire, the water in the pot boiled quickly, but it was not good. Then, Matt asked someone to reduce the fire, covered the pot, and slowly started to simmer.

The braised lion head here is ready, waiting for the final work, and now Matt is free to start preparing the Kung Pao Chicken and Dongpo Pork below.

When Matt was cooking the lion's head just now, Xu Tianhao on the side had already prepared all the preparations for the two dishes, and what Matt now has to do is to cook directly.

The first is Dongpo pork, because Dongpo pork, like lion's head, needs to be stewed for a period of time.

There is no special difference between the material of Dongpo meat and the material of lion head, the only difference is the method of making, of course, these are very familiar to Matt, so it is very easy to complete all the procedures, Just wait for it to be stewed before processing it.

Kung Pao Chicken took the least time out of the three, and Matt saved it for last.

Now cut the chicken breast into cubes, then put it into a bowl, add Sichuan salt, red soy sauce, wet powder, and Shaoxing wine, mix well, put the stirred chicken cubes into the pot, and cook them in the oil with high heat until they are half mature. , and then add dried chili, ginger, garlic and other ingredients and continue to stir-fry. Finally, Matt added peanuts. After continuing to stir-fry, Kung Pao Chicken is ready to serve.

The Kung Pao Chicken was the first to be completed, followed by the Lion Head. Because it was for a competition, Matt used the vegetables he had already prepared to make Xu Tianhao dress up, and the Lion Head compensated the emerald green vegetables. .

About another hour later, Matt finally finished all three dishes. At this time, Matt looked relaxed, because he found that other people, who were fast, were only half finished, and some who were slow, had just finished by a third.

Matt's efficiency surprised those on the rostrum. Although Matt has the reputation of a chef, it is only a legend after all. Unexpectedly, Matt's lead is so obvious.

And different from everyone on the rostrum, Jackson was surprised and excited when he saw Matt's appearance. Matt was so much ahead of the others in speed. In this culinary competition, Matt Half the battle had already been won, and as for the three dishes prepared by Matt, Jackson wasn't worried at all.

First of all, Matt’s three dishes are all new dishes. In previous culinary competitions, chefs who can cook new dishes have won very high rankings. The son came up with three new dishes.

As for the taste of Matt's dishes, you can see how popular Huaxia restaurants are now. How delicious Huaxia cuisine is, this is the delicacy made by those chefs who only get Matt's fur. The real essence is still in Matt. Create this hands.

Time passed by every minute and every second. Finally, the time stipulated in the game arrived, and Matt was two and a half hours ahead of this time.

"Okay, time is up. Now, please get ready, all participating chefs. Next, our judges will taste your dishes in turn, and the final winner has been decided." Following the words of the master of ceremonies, all the chefs stopped. Chefs, don't do anything at this time, because they may lose their qualifications for this competition. Although they have only completed one or two dishes, they still don't want their labor to even be disqualified from participating in the selection.

There are a total of 20 judges this time. They came to these dozens of chefs one by one, savoring the fruits of their labor.

From left to right, front to back, in turn, Matt came in third.

Finally, it was for the judges who came to Matt. They had just tasted Master Klimt and another chef in the first row. Looking at their expressions, Matt knew that the two chefs of Klimt Dishes must be very special.

"Are you Matt?" A judge came to Matt.

"Yes," Matt said respectfully.

"Could you introduce these three dishes to us?" the judge continued.

"is my pleasure"

"This is lion head, this is Kung Pao chicken, and this is Dongpo pork"

"Master Matt, I don't think there is any difference between Dongpo pork and braised pork." It seems that this is a loyal fan of Chinese cuisine, otherwise he would not call Matt a master.

"There is still a big difference between Dongpo pork and braised pork. First of all, its meat quality is very tender, and because of its workmanship, compared with braised pork, it is not so greasy, and the taste of Dongpo pork , are very different from braised pork, which can be said to be an improvement.”

"Oh, is that so?" Matt's explanation aroused the interest of the judges.

"Well, really good"

"Indeed, this Kung Pao chicken is spicy but not tiresome, very refreshing, and the lion's head is also very tasty. The most important thing is this Dongpo pork. I used to hate greasy food. Now I eat this dish. Indeed, as Master Matt said, it is oily but not greasy, um, not bad.”

……

Many tastes gave Matt a very high evaluation. Even the owner of Tengyun Pavilion, Bells, did not make things difficult for Matt, and gave a very detailed evaluation of Matt's three dishes.

Results came out soon.

"Attention everyone, the results of this culinary competition have been announced."

"First of all, No.3 is from Tengyun Pavilion, Master Soros, the three dishes of Master Soros, the workmanship is fine, but not complicated, and the taste is very high"

When the master of ceremonies announced the name of Soros, first of all, everyone on the court was shocked, because the name Soros had never been heard of by everyone, but it suddenly appeared unexpectedly. When Soros came to the front desk, everyone was shocked. Only then did I realize that it was another young man, probably in his twenties.

Immediately afterwards, the master of ceremonies announced No.2. He was another middle-aged man in the same row as Matt. Only then did Matt know that his name was Wilson, which Matt had heard Jackson mention before. It is said that he was very talented and famous back then, but later, due to various reasons, he left the culinary world, and he did not expect to come back today.

Then there is No.1, naturally, it is Master Klimt, who has won the title of the best chef in the world for two consecutive years.

"Okay, next, His Majesty the Emperor will announce the Master of Cooking"

Immediately, the hearts of all the people on the field were tugged, and even Matt was a little excited, looking nervously at the Emperor who was slowly walking onto the stage.

"Next, I will announce the final Master Chef of this competition." The Emperor of the Empire said here, slowing down.

"Damn, are all big people like this?" Matt's heart that was originally mentioned in his throat was suddenly weighed there by this pause, neither up nor down, really uncomfortable.

But fortunately, the Empire Vantage Edward III did not delay for too long, maybe he saw the excitement of everyone on the field. "This time the Master Chef is Master Matt"

The last four words of Edward III were sonorous and forceful, and Matt's originally hanging heart finally calmed down. Everything has passed. This visit has finally established the position of Huaxia Restaurant in the mainland. Matt believes that Huaxia Restaurant It will definitely become more brilliant.

As for other people's rankings, the audience didn't care, they were cheering.

Of course, the final ranking, the culinary competition will eventually give a list, but this is irrelevant.

While everyone was cheering, suddenly, Edward III announced a decision that surprised everyone present, pushing the atmosphere on the field to a climax again.

"Now, I have decided to give Chef St. Matt the title of Viscount of the Empire"

"What?" At this moment, Matt was also taken aback. The viscount of the empire was decided by a culinary competition.

Edward III went on to say "and gave Matt the town of Cairo in the Muscat province in the eastern part of the empire as a fief"

All titles above Viscount of the Empire have fiefdoms. Of course, fiefdoms are both good and bad. As for the small town of Cairo, Matt doesn’t know where it is, but Matt does know it in Muscat Province. It is the first in the empire. There are three major provinces, and they are on the verge of the endless forest, one of the three major dangers in the mainland. As for why Edward III sealed his fiefdom in Muscat Province, Matt does not know, and there is no need to know, because it can be said to be a windfall , Matt himself hasn't reacted yet.

Matt was frightened by the sudden honor. Fortunately, Xu Tianhao on the side reminded Matt. Matt quickly thanked him, but he didn't want Edward III to ask Matt to make a table of dinner to thank him. This made Matt very speechless.

It seems that the title of the gluttonous emperor is really right.
