Chapter 729 Selection
Except for chicken bean curd and Taishi Snake Soup, which are served per person, the rest of the dishes are served in large plates and in single portions. The order of serving is chicken bean curd, Dinghu vegetable, steamed eel, cabbage heart with oyster sauce, Texas braised chicken, Taishi snake soup and Baiwei soup. After all the dishes are served, the fruit plate is served, and the midsummer feast is over.
Starting from the Dinghu vegetarian dish, the food was served very quickly. In just a few minutes, the Dinghu vegetarian dish, steamed eel, oyster cabbage and Texas braised chicken were all on the table. Since there were only 7 dishes in total, everyone had to make a large portion.
Different from the small dishes served in the past, this time the dishes are not only large but also large, especially the steamed eel. I can't wait to take out the biggest plate in Tai Feng Restaurant, which causes many diners to mutter in their hearts that these dishes are so large. The portion, why was the chickpea pudding just so small?
After the initial wave of Jiang Feng's discussion, everyone started eating.
Then everyone was surprised to find that all the dishes were delicious.
Everything you eat is really delicious.
It tastes delicious!
The vegetarian dishes at Dinghu are delicious, as are the steamed eels. Even the ordinary-looking, mediocre oyster cabbage and Texas braised chicken are delicious, and they are all so delicious that they are indescribable.
Soon the lively diners calmed down and returned to the same state as when they were eating chickpeas, but not so quiet. From time to time, someone would still whisper to each other, discussing how delicious Dinghu Shangsu and steamed eel were, which one was better. eat.
Except for the Texas Braised Chicken, the dishes on the table are relatively light and follow the line of light and delicious. Only the Texas Braised Chicken is heavy in oil, salt and seasonings, which seems very strange and even domineering, at least Han Guishan and Xiang Wen The Academy of Fine Arts students who recommended the pure meat wontons ate it with joy.
Han Guishan saw that he was the only one at the table who ate the most Texas Braised Chicken, while the others were mainly eating the super-large portion of steamed eel, or eating the Dinghu Vegetarian. He felt strange and took a bite of the chicken drumstick in the bowl.
There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s delicious!
"Why don't you eat chicken?" Han Guishan asked Xu Cheng curiously.
Xu Cheng:......
He really doesn't know how to evaluate his friend's taste. Let's say he has a weird appetite. He eats what everyone thinks is delicious, and he also knows what tastes good and what doesn't. Let’s just say he has a normal taste, but he always likes to eat things that normal people don’t eat.
At least Xu Cheng hasn't tasted the delicious dumplings made by Jiang Feng yet.
Xu Cheng thought for a while: "I can't eat too greasy food when I'm older."
Han Guishan suddenly realized it and continued to eat the chicken legs.
Peng Changping couldn't help but smile when he heard their conversation. Xu Cheng saw it and explained: "Master Peng, this friend of mine has always been like this."
"He has a pretty good personality." Peng Changping said with a smile, "He is somewhat similar to my junior brother. He was almost like this decades ago."
Peng Changping has put down his chopsticks. He is almost seventy percent full at this time. He is not ready to eat anymore and wants to see what dishes are coming next before considering whether to use his chopsticks. He wanted to come to the Midsummer Banquet this time because he had nothing to do but wanted to join in the fun. He had never met Sun Maocai, and he had long heard about his reputation as the number one chef in Cantonese cuisine. He wanted to take this opportunity to taste Sun Maocai's cooking, and by the way, Jiang Feng's cooking.
But he didn't expect Jiang Feng to give him such a big surprise.
"Today's dish of Dinghu cuisine is very good, and the steamed eel is also amazing. If I remember correctly, this steamed eel is made by Jiang Weiming, and this dish of Dezhou braised chicken is made by Jiang Weiguo." Peng Changping said.
Xu Cheng didn't know why and nodded: "Yes."
"I'll go back and think about it and give you the results in two days."
Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Peng Changping was treating the Midsummer Banquet as a result of the celebrity chef rankings. He was a little surprised, mainly because he didn't expect it at all.
"Is this...isn't something bad?" Xu Cheng felt something was wrong. This assessment seemed a bit casual, and it ended without any preparation.
"What's wrong? Isn't this dish not qualified enough?" Peng Changping asked rhetorically.
Xu Chengran: "If you think about it, it is indeed quite suitable."
Peng Changping glanced at the dishes on the table: "I'll give you Jiang Feng's in two days as well, as long as you don't think I'm showing favoritism."
Xu Cheng really didn't react at this time and subconsciously said: "Jiang Feng?"
"What? Do you think the chickpea pudding he just served was not enough?" Peng Changping said with a smile.
"Enough...it's indeed enough." Xu Cheng murmured.
"I find that your thinking has become rigid now that you are getting older. The culinary world belongs to young people. Who among the top people now has become famous at a young age? If you don't break out when you are young, it will be difficult for you to achieve anything later. Even if we could, we wouldn't be able to climb to the highest place. It's not suitable for us old guys to stand around for the past few years. It's time to inject some fresh blood and be active." Peng Changping was very happy, "It's just a little bit. So fresh.”
Xu Cheng could only nod, thinking that this time the selection of the celebrity chef directory would shock everyone.
I just don’t know if it was easy to order the dishes at Tai Feng Restaurant at that time, and if it would be possible like now as long as the assistant is fast enough, there will be no dishes that he can’t eat.
He already has Jiang Feng's WeChat account, so it shouldn't be too difficult.
"But is Sun Maocai's ranking lower?" Peng Changping said suddenly.
"Ah?" Xu Cheng had a dull look on his face, thinking that although everyone had considered that some celebrity chefs were too old and in poor health and would not live for a few more years when ranking, so his ranking was a little inflated and everyone thought It's acceptable, but it won't cause Sun Maocai to be ranked low.
If nothing unexpected happens this year, even if Jiang Feng can get into the top ten after repeated decisions, plus Jiang Weiming, excluding the few masters who have passed away in the past four years, Sun Maocai can still get into the top ten no matter what.
Why is it so low?
"I don't mean anything else. I haven't tasted his food before. I just tried Dinghu Shangsu and I think it's in the top five. Why was he only ranked 11th last time?" Peng Changping didn't realize that he was eating Sun Maocai's food. Dinghu Shangsu thought it was very delicious because his sense of taste had recovered and improved, or in other words, his body was aware of it but his mind didn't think about it at all.
Who would think about this when they have nothing to do? Even Jiang Weiming didn't feel that his sense of taste had recovered and was better because of the chicken bean curd.
At this time Xu Cheng had something to say.
"Maybe it's because Master Sun's cooking skills have improved in recent years. In the last selection, his ranking was only slightly higher than the tenth place. In fact, I just ate it and felt that the taste of the dishes has improved a lot, but I just can't eat it. I feel like I have improved a lot. It’s a bit strange.”
As Xu Cheng talked, he felt even stranger. In fact, he not only felt that the overall level of Sun Maocai's dishes had improved, but also Jiang Weiguo's dishes, not to mention Jiang Weiming's. If that's not called improvement, it's called promotion. Before, Xu Cheng only thought that Jiang Weiming had the ability to be in the top ten, so he asked Peng Changping to come over and judge. Now Xu Cheng feels that Jiang Weiming can make it into the top five with his eyes closed, and maybe he can compete for second place.
They are all super senior players, so there is no need to worry about whom to give face to.
"Is this so?" Peng Changping began to think.
Xu Cheng also started to think.
Han Guishan, who was happily eating chicken:?
What are you doing? ? ?
Eat vegetables!
It would be a pity not to eat such a good dish, what a waste!
Han Guishan glanced at the oversized piece of chicken breast on the plate, and when he saw that no one wanted to eat it, he put it on the plate politely.
Han Guishan shook his head.
Hey, everyone is too polite and their fighting ability is not good.
Sure enough, we still have to rely on him in the end. (End of chapter)
