As no dishes were brought out, everyone's attention was attracted.
Although the weather was a bit cold, the maids acted quickly and when the dishes were brought to the table, they were all steaming hot.
The five specially invited people, Taifu Su and Mr. Du, plus the owners of the five restaurants, and five people randomly selected from the crowd, all held chopsticks and tasted the dishes prepared by the chefs with all their might.
Delicious food.
While they were tasting, several people from big families who came to join in the fun were also tasting. Although they did not have the right to vote for silver medals, it did not hinder the mood of tasting the delicious food.
Everyone maintains their identity, adheres to the rule of not saying anything when eating, and is enjoying the meal quietly. But there are exceptions to everything. Sounds come from this location in the General's Mansion many times. If you listen carefully, it is the voices of two children.
"This piece of meat is delicious. Brother Yueyue, please don't steal it from me." Fu Dou'er's voice came out. When everyone saw it, he was just a five or six-year-old baby, puffing out his cheeks and eating deliciously.
No one paid any attention to it.
"Brother Fu, you've eaten a lot of meat, it's my turn to eat this piece." Lin Yuewei's voice came out next, immediately making the Lin family's faces darken.
Let people know that the child from the Lin Mansion actually competed with others to eat meat in public, and even said loudly that there were no rules, so he was really short of meat.
Some people recognized Lin Yuewei's identity and thought it was funny, but the Lin family sat aside with dark faces, and no one dared to laugh out loud.
"Wow, what kind of meat is this? It's so tender!" he praised while eating. Although he didn't know what he was eating, it could be seen from Fu Dou'er's expression that what he was eating must be very delicious.
Those who have no chance of these delicacies are completely envious and jealous of Fu Dou'er. The little fat man eats with a smile on his face, and the fool also knows that if the five major restaurants dare to compete here, they will definitely come up with the best dishes. People who have no chance of these delicacies,
He couldn't help but swallowed secretly.
"Sister, please taste mine."
"Sister, my delicious food is here for you."
Fu Dou'er and Lin Yuewei seemed to be competing. They kept sending things they thought were delicious to Lin Zhu.
"Fu Dou'er, Yue Yue, both of you, please sit over here, be careful." Lin Zhu saw the two of them twisting and almost falling off the chair, so he quickly spoke out to dissuade them.
Seeing that the two little fat men were eating happily, Lin Zhu did not intend to preach to them here. He just asked his servants to move their tableware to him and watch over them carefully.
Although most people were paying attention to the food, there were still some thoughtful people who saw the interaction between Lin Zhu and the two fat guys and nodded secretly.
In this gourmet appreciation party, not only Zuixianlou brought out the best ingredients and the best craftsmanship, but other restaurants were also not afraid to give in. They all sent their best chefs.
Although there are only five dishes, it also gives people a new understanding of the five restaurants. The reason why it has become the most famous restaurant in Beijing is not only because of the owner behind it, but also because of its real ingredients.
Taifu Su gently put down his chopsticks and took a sip of the water handed to him by the maid. Although he had not spoken yet, it could be seen from the expression on his face that he was very interested in the dishes presented at this food appreciation party.
satisfy.
The others also dropped their chopsticks and looked at each other with satisfaction in their eyes.
Lu Mingtao stood up at the right time. "The twenty-five delicacies have been tasted. I think everyone has made a decision in their hearts." He waved his hand, and a maid immediately appeared carrying several wooden boxes.
There were five rounds of competition, with five dishes in each round. Each of the five waitresses also held five boxes in their hands. The name of each dish was also written on the surface of the box. They walked to the fifteen tasters in turn and waited for them.
Add silver medals to approved dishes.
At this time, the most exciting time, except for the chefs in the tent, no one knew which dish belonged to which restaurant. Although the five restaurant owners knew the skills of their chefs very well, today the ten master chefs
The dishes they made were new dishes that had never been shown before. Therefore, even they couldn't completely conclude that some of the dishes were made by their own chefs.
Therefore, judging which dish is their favorite is not only careful, but also fair.
Based on this confusing situation, the results are even more exciting. As silver medals are continuously thrown into the wooden box, the atmosphere becomes more and more tense.
After collecting everyone's silver medals, Lu Mingtao went to inspect them personally.
At this time, all the tents had been taken down. The chefs also appeared in front of people.
Everything had been put away, and they were standing next to their stoves in turn, nervously waiting for the final result.
In some cold weather, many chefs had sweat on their foreheads, which shows that they attach great importance to this food appreciation event.
After all, if such a big plaque is placed there, the restaurant will become famous, and as chefs, they will become even more famous. In life, fame and fortune are also what we pursue. Fame and fortune that is so close at hand, how can we not make people excited.
However, after half a stick of incense, the results had already been tested by Lu Mingtao in public. With so many pairs of eyes looking at him, no one suspected that he would tamper with it.
"In the first round, for the first round, Zuixianlou's secret jade tower got ten cards, and Yipin Pavilion's first-grade tofu got five." As soon as this result came out, everyone around was shocked.
They didn't expect that Zuixianlou would achieve such outstanding results in the first round. How could one of the five dishes be far ahead, and there were probably others who should also like it? How could this happen?
Many people cast doubtful eyes on Taifu Su and others, as their words have the most credibility.
"The Jade Tower in Zuixianlou is made of the freshest ingredients, and such ingredients are very rare. But the most important thing is that the chef's cooking not only does not cover up the taste of the ingredients themselves, but also adds to the flavor.
The taste of the food." Taifu Su's words made the fourteen people around him who had the right to vote nodded in unison.
People were even more curious about what kind of ingredient Taifu Su praised so highly. People who had not tasted it asked to see the ingredient.
Lu Mingtao had already prepared, and with a wave of his hand, he had the ingredients brought to him.
"This, isn't this a cucumber? What's so surprising that it can compare to the others?" Five green and tender cucumbers were placed on the plate. They seemed to have been washed recently, and there were still residual water drops sliding down on them.
It shines in the sun, making people want to pick it up and taste it unconsciously.
"Why are there cucumbers in this season?" The first person to question was quickly silenced by the surprised voice.
The cucumber in front of them shocked everyone.
"What on earth is going on?" Many people are wondering. It's unprecedented to find such fresh cucumbers in this season. It's amazing.
Everyone looked at Prince Qi with admiration. Of course, they were also curious that Prince Qi had such ability. Everyone was waiting for Prince Qi to answer their questions.
And I am also more curious about the remaining four dishes. What kind of surprise will Zuixianlou come up with? Everyone is looking forward to it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
