"Is this speculation?"
King Zhan was surprised when he saw Wu Qiqi taking the blame.
It is not that stir-fry was not practiced in the Tang Dynasty.
Seniors in the culinary world like King Zhan have certainly seen this before.
The main reason why it is not popular is that iron pots are not popular.
Next is oil!
There are lard, mutton fat and the like, but ordinary people can't afford these things.
"What does King Zhan think of Qiqi's cooking skills?" Wei Shuyu couldn't help but ask.
"Well……"
Hearing this, King Zhan glanced at Wu Qiqi again: "The technique is clumsy, the spoon is weak, the things are missing, and the heat is not controlled..."
In short: speculation!
What the hell?
I asked you to comment but not to criticize.
Now that you say this, what is the dignity of the Imperial Army?
"What King Zhan said is wrong."
Wei Shuyu immediately retorted: "As a veteran in the culinary world, don't you think your words are too sharp?"
"Cooking is just about practice making perfect."
"How can you be sure that she won't be a chef in the future?"
"In my opinion, if she can muster up the courage to stand here and compete, she must first add some encouragement points."
"Compete as a woman and get one more point."
"Looking at his young age, one more point."
"Looking at the persistence and seriousness on her face, it is all expressing her love for cooking...it must be added one more point."
"besides……"
Wei Shuyu blew loudly.
All in all, in one sentence, extra points!
King Zhan was stunned.
I know you know her, so you won't be so biased towards her, right?
"Mr. Wei's words make sense."
King Zhan nodded: "But this is a competition, and what matters in the end is the deliciousness of the dishes."
"I appreciate her attitude, but if you can't cook good food, no matter how serious you are, you won't be able to win the first place."
"On the other hand, the waiter in front of her is calm and mature in his work. He looks deep in thought at first glance..."
King Zhan put forward his own rebuttal and wanted to give an example.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Shuyu again...
"No no no..."
Wei Shuyu shook his head: "The chef competition is not just about who can cook the best food!"
"Just like that 'hungry' thing you had before."
Um?
King Zhan hesitated.
He frowned and thought deeply for a moment and said, "Is this girl's fried rice still famous?"
"nature."
Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "Have you seen the oil Qiqi poured in?"
Oil?
King Zhan frowned.
He really didn't care about this.
With so many contestants, it was impossible for him to just focus on Wu Qiqi.
"This is called vegetable oil!"
Wei Shuyu said with a smile: "With it, stir-fry cooking in the Tang Dynasty will gradually blossom."
"Are you talking about cooking oil?"
"That's right."
"After the competition, Qiqi will make the recipe of this vegetable oil public."
When Wei Shuyu said this, King Zhan felt relieved.
Compared to one person benefiting.
Benefit from all the people in the world.
Make a judgment.
"How did Mr. Wei know that Wu Qiqi used vegetable oil?" King Zhan suddenly asked.
Wei Shuyu didn't reply.
Looking at his eyes, nose and heart, it seems that he has never chatted with King Zhan.
What do you mean if you don't speak?
"Ahem..."
Wang Yin on the side coughed, approached King Zhan and whispered: "King Zhan, that Wu Qiqi is the unmarried daughter-in-law of Mr. Wei."
What?
King Zhan’s beard stood up in anger.
Son of a bitch.
I just said, why are you going to all the trouble to praise Wu Qiqi?
I'll be your wife for a long time!
If this is relevant, you should just say it directly. You have to pretend to let me comment.
After I commented, you didn’t feel happy, so you just sprayed it on me?
What are you doing?
The bully old man doesn't know your wife, right?
"time up!"
As the shopkeeper of Cuiyunju rang the gong, the game was terminated.
"Everyone, please try it..."
The maids brought the dishes to the judges' table, and Wei Shuyu couldn't help but twitch his index finger.
"The first one, the fragrance flows from thousands of miles away!"
It's actually wonton stew.
The moment you lift the lid, steam overflows with the smell of fresh onions.
"It leaves a fragrant aroma, is smooth and smooth, and the taste is acceptable."
"It has thin skin and lots of meat, so it's the best."
“Use shrimp as filling to lock in the delicious flavor inside the wontons, that’s it!”
Several people commented one after another.
"Alright."
Wei Shuyu smiled and gave a favorable review.
He doesn't know how to comment, he only knows whether it tastes good or not.
"The second path, Sanyang Kaitai."
Wei Shuyu took a look and saw that it was boiled mutton.
"Eh? No mutton smell?"
"Use cloves, amomum villosum, cardamom, perilla, etc. to remove the mutton smell. The deodorized mutton will have a different flavor, which is good."
"It's cooked but not rotten. It's stewed over slow fire. It's the best!"
“The heat, patience, and delicacy are all achieved to the extreme, and this mutton has almost no flaws.”
Listening to several people's comments, Wei Shuyu was stunned.
Can you eat this?
Thinking about it, Wei Shuyu picked up a few more pieces of mutton and started eating.
And took a sip of soup.
"Mr. Wei."
At this moment, King Zhan suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong?"
"There are more than a dozen servings later. If you eat too much, you won't be able to eat it." King Zhan reminded.
This is a big no-no as a referee.
If you eat too much in the front, it may be unfair later.
"oh."
Wei Shuyu put down his chopsticks reluctantly.
"Next... golden egg fried rice."
Wu Qiqi came on stage with her egg fried rice.
The moment I opened the lid, it was nothing special.
"..."
But several referees couldn't wait to pick up a mouthful of rice with their chopsticks.
Then he licked it with his tongue.
It’s so oily!
Then he picked it up and tasted it.
The taste is not as beautiful as expected, but it is better than most dishes in Datang.
This egg fried rice is already on the list.
"I wonder if I can take a look at this oil?" King Zhan suddenly asked.
Wu Qiqi didn't answer.
Instead, he glanced at Wei Shuyu.
When he saw Wei Shuyu nodding, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his backpack.
The moment the porcelain bottle was opened, several people couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The unique aroma of vegetable oil made several people fall in love.
"This oily fragrance should only be found in heaven."
"It is indeed the most delicious condiment. The aroma of oil alone can make people linger."
"May I ask what this oil is made of?"
Wu Qiqi glanced at Wei Shuyu again.
Wei Shuyu nodded.
"This is made of brassica seeds!"
Brassica seeds?
The three referees looked at each other.
cheap!
Cheaper than expected!
Both the flowers and leaves of rape are edible, so many people grow it near Chang'an.
Now even these seeds can be used to make oil, so you can make the best use of everything!
The three of them gave a few compliments.
Continue the competition to comment on other dishes.
"Everyone, the exciting moment has arrived!"
The shopkeeper of Cuiyunju shouted from the high platform: "Next, our King Zhan will announce the leader of this chef competition!"
King Zhan walked to the high platform...
“It has been unanimously reviewed by several of us.”
"The first place in this chef competition is the golden egg fried rice made by Wu Qiqi!"
There was silence.
There are no surprises.
If you have any objections, you won't say anything. She is Mr. Wei's wife.
"Shady story!"
Li Chongyi immediately jumped out again: "King Zhan, I respect your character."
"But she only had one egg for rice, so why did she win first place?"
Many waiters are also dissatisfied.
They worshiped King Zhan and believed in King Zhan's judgment.
But they believed that King Zhan would definitely give an explanation.
"Listen to what I have to say."
King Zhan said nonchalantly: "What do you think the nature of a baker is?"
The waiters were whispering.
But couldn't get an answer.
"The essence of a baker is to provide delicious food to the world."
"The food is delicious and can feed one person."
"And what Wu Qiqi made is for the people of the world to eat!"
What?
An egg added to rice has this effect.
"I'll just tell you the truth."
"What Wu Qiqi cooks is not rice, but oil!"
"A raw material that can be used by people all over the world!"
