The appearance of the cucumber shocked many people, but some people still felt that it was too simple to win the first round based on its rarity.
Lu Mingtao promptly invited Shopkeeper Lin from Zuixianlou, "Zuixianlou will include Jade Tower in its daily menu from tomorrow onwards, but because the quantity of fresh cucumbers is limited, only twenty portions can be supplied daily."
As soon as Shopkeeper Lin said this, the people on the scene immediately became excited. This showed that this kind of out-of-season cucumbers were still growing, and Zuixianlou had the confidence to make such an announcement.
Many people have secretly made up their mind to go to Zuixianlou to try this dish that is recognized by people such as Taifu Su, Yu Chu and others. With the guarantee from Shopkeeper Lin, people don’t think that this dish is just for its novelty.
Won.
People from the other four restaurants were all gnashing their teeth. It was not a good thing for them that Zuixianlou was making a big splash here. New dishes appeared again and again, and they were widely praised. It was a good thing for them.
The reputation of a restaurant is too important. If things go on like this, the distance between other restaurants and Zuixian Restaurant will only become further and further away.
Even if the tools are all top-notch, anyone with a discerning eye will definitely be able to see the difference.
Fortunately, this is only the first round, so it won't cause others to be confused.
Lu Mingtao saw that the effect of the first round was almost done and Zuixian Tower had already gained enough limelight. He asked shopkeeper Lin to go back and asked the maid to present the results of the second round.
"The second round is themed on mountain delicacies, and the five dishes are: Bazhen mushrooms from Zuixianlou, Yipinguinea fowl from Yipin Pavilion, Ruyi double bamboo shoots from Zuojia Restaurant, Double Pepper Cloud Fungus from Zhiwei Restaurant, and Fuman
The soup above is marinated and fresh." Following Lu Mingtao's explanation, the maid took out the silver medals from the boxes representing each dish and placed them in front of the corresponding boxes.
"Three pieces of eight rare mushrooms, four pieces of first-grade guinea fowl, two pieces of Ruyi double bamboo shoots, three pieces of double pepper and cloud fungus, and three pieces of fresh pickled pork in soup." Every dish was approved by someone. And this time Zuixianlou didn't have it either.
Taking the lead again has given many people some peace of mind.
This result also shows that the five major restaurants are all very well-established. Although Yipinge won the second round, judging from the results, the difference was not very big. So it did not cause much response.
The theme of the third round of competition is fish. Fish also symbolizes abundance every year and has auspicious meanings. Therefore, most fish dishes are based on whole fish. However, because there are not many types of fish in this season,
Therefore, the requirements have been relaxed, and as long as it is produced in water, dishes can be made and presented.
The scale has become wider and there are more choices for chefs, giving people more expectations.
Most of the fish dishes are steamed and braised. So Yipinge and Zhiwei Restaurant are both like this. Zuojia Restaurant introduces Furong Shrimp, Zuixianlou Pisces Club. And Fumanlou is the most outstanding, they actually use lobster
The finished dish. And to make the dish even more outstanding, the bright red lobster shell is also completely preserved. It is very eye-catching when placed next to the dish.
The result is self-evident. In the third round, Fumanlou won the first place.
The round that attracts the most attention is here, and the theme is meat. There is no stipulation on the type of meat, leaving it up to the chef.
Everyone turned their attention to Zuixianlou. During this period, Zuixianlou’s beef dishes were in the limelight. Not only did the beef introduced in the restaurant self-proclaimed first-class and special-grade products, but the dishes were also
The diners are informed one by one which part of the beef is included.
It has surpassed the beef dishes of several restaurants that followed the trend. Of course, not everyone likes beef. Pork and mutton are also loved by everyone, and people with status mainly eat mutton. Beef is because of its
The limitations of it have not received much attention.
Despite this, the results of the fourth round shocked everyone. The beef dish presented by Zui Xian Lou actually received unanimous votes. When all the silver medals in the box belonging to Zui Xian Lou were poured out, there was a clatter of fifteen silver medals.
I was so shocked.
Everyone at the scene was wondering, no matter how delicious it is, fifteen coins is too much. Everyone here should know that the beef dishes belong to Zuixianlou, and the others are fine. Even if the owners of the four restaurants are just for giving
If your restaurant saves some face, you should invest in other dishes. Why this happens is so difficult to understand.
Facts speak louder than words. Lu Mingtao asked the people from Zuixianlou to bring the prepared beef up again. Because the tent had been removed, people could clearly see the actions of the master of Zuixianlou.
Two large pieces of beef were placed on the chopping board. The master chef took out a sharp knife and began to cut the beef. Pieces of beef that were the size of a palm and evenly thick were placed on white porcelain plates.
The bright red beef is eye-catching on the porcelain plate. Coupled with the white fat that looks like artificial marble patterns, it is already mouth-watering before it is even made.
This is not the first time people have seen beef, but they have never seen such perfect marbling.
The second piece of beef was also cut quickly, attracting more people to marvel. Perfect snowflakes appeared on the beef.
The iron plate has been prepared at the scene.
When the first piece of beef is placed on the iron plate at a suitable temperature, the sound of sizzling makes people's hearts tremble, and the aroma of the heated beef itself makes people swallow their saliva involuntarily.
Lu Mingtao stood up at the right time and explained, "These two pieces of special beef come from the upper brain and eye meat of the cow respectively. Each cow only weighs twenty or thirty kilograms. It can be said that the quantity is small but the quality is high."
Although cattle are not the main source of meat at this time, the average adult beef weighs about 700 to 800 pounds, mainly due to improper feeding and thin body.
Most of the adult cattle in Linzhu Ranch weigh more than 1,000 kilograms. This shows that the proportion of these two parts of beef is very small.
The rarer something is, the more valuable it is. Since Zuixianlou launched beef dishes, these two kinds of meat have not been included in the menu, just to make it a blockbuster today.
It was simply fried on the iron plate three or two times, and the pieces of beef were placed on the plate, and the master chef's assistant cut them into pieces of suitable size.
As soon as the knife was cut, the full meat juice flowed along the cut part onto the porcelain plate. You could even see red beef in the middle of the meat slices, which showed that the beef was not fully cooked.
"Isn't it okay for people to eat half-cooked meat?" Many people suddenly felt conflicted. Drinking blood with raw hair is what uncivilized savages do. People who always consider themselves to be heavenly masters have a strange look at Zuixianlou's practice.
"Huh, what do you ordinary people know?" General Chang said dissatisfiedly when he saw the people around him criticizing this practice, "Only when you fry it to 50% doneness can you taste the deliciousness of beef, and it is the most delicious. What a waste of natural resources.
.”
Behind him, Fu Dou'er and Lin Yuewei had already stared at the plate in the maid's hand with their big eyes.
"General Chang is right." Mr. Du also said, and other people who had tasted it nodded. Even though they had tasted this delicious food, they still couldn't help but turn their eyes to the beef, and saliva continued to secrete from their mouths.
If you don't have deep enough concentration, you might be like Fu Dou'er and Lin Yuewei, wishing you could pounce on them to grab the plate.
The maids distributed the beef to those who were willing to try it. Those who maintained their own status and disdained this, they passed by with plates without letting anyone see clearly.
"Wow."
“So delicious!”
"I see."
"As expected of Zuixian Tower."
"..."
Everyone who tasted it praised it loudly. More people felt that it was a worthwhile trip to taste this beef.
"Hmm, delicious."
"So rough."
Fu Dou'er and Lin Yuewei, as the two youngest children on the field, also received special care, and they also had their share of the freshly prepared beef.
As a result, people no longer have any doubts about the fourth round of competition. They all feel that it is well-deserved.
"Prince Qi, you are really extraordinary." The other four restaurant owners all bowed their hands to Mu Qingqi as a gift.
"Concession, concession." Although he was full of joy, he had to be humble in face, and the other companies were not weaker than his own. Mu Qingqi knew that this time he had benefited from Lin Zhu's favor.
When he looked in the direction of Lin Zhu, his eyes passed over Fu Dou'er, and he saw the little face that was extremely happy because of eating delicious food. It was like a ray of light shining into Prince Qi's heart. (To be continued.)
