Chapter 542: A Different Flavor
It is also Confucian luck, after he left the scene of Dabi in Xijing in a rage that day, he said that he went out to relax, and he unknowingly arrived in the east of the country. And by chance, he worshiped the chief chef of the palace in the east of the country as his teacher, so this time he was calculating the old accounts and the new accounts together, and he was ready to take the profits and ask Yang Ruo for justice.
When Yang Ruo and Ru Feng put the dishes of the two on the display table, a tasting palace maid immediately stepped forward and divided the food made by the two into small plates with dishes.
Rufeng cooks Chinese food, and it's a whole fish feast, so they can make it. It's just that when she arrived at Yang Ruo's place, the palace maid who took the food couldn't help but feel embarrassed. I saw that in front of her was a very strange-looking flatbread. Next to the flatbread was a plate of delicate-looking vegetables topped with strange juices, as well as a plate of roasted wings that were roasted in the shape of butterflies.
If she wants to know the food here, she is probably familiar with this butterfly wing that has been fried into the shape of chicken wings.
In general, fresh wing roots are washed and then flavored. After all these preparations are made, it is decided whether to use it for frying or braised for dry grilled side dishes. If you want to fry it into different shapes, you have to garnish it with starch. However, making the roasted wings into a butterfly shape is still quite a test for people. This is a test of people's craftsmanship and eyesight.
However, the butterfly chicken wings that came out of Yang Ruo's hand were extremely lifelike. At this moment, those pairs of chicken wings fell steadily on the white, white porcelain plate, really like a golden butterfly spreading its wings and ready to fly.
"Excuse me, how do you get this?" The tasting maid asked, pointing to the flatbread as a staple food. Although the food looked like a flatbread, putting some vegetables and meat on top of the flatbread was something she had never seen before. And the shape of the bread was different from what she was familiar with.
It is thin in the middle, thick on both sides, and there is a curl that turns outward on the side. It looks like a round disc filled with various dishes.
The burrito was topped with thinly sliced waxed red sausages, shrimp meat, green beans, and some corn kernels, as well as a thick layer of shredded onions. Because the red sausage slices had just been baked, the oily gravy on them was steaming outward, and because of the cold weather, I could see a little mist like a white mist above the thin round cake. And the fog still hovered away, staying in the sky above the flatbread for a long time. It also made the charming fragrance of the flatbread drill into everyone's nostrils.
The golden corn kernels sprinkled on the flatbread are plump, like little elves dotted among them, making people want to eat all these cute little things in their stomachs. The shrimp are all peeled, and the shrimp are cut in the middle of the back, and from a distance, it looks like a flower that rolls naturally. In addition, the shrimp body presents a natural crescent shape, and the overall look is very pleasing to the eye.
What puzzled the palace maid the most was that the cake was poured with a thick layer, yellow juice, like milk, but not milk. And the cake was not a whole large piece, from the middle position, it was divided into several small triangular pieces, because the yellow juice was connected in the middle, so she didn't know how to start for a while.
The palace maid's eyes were very big, and she looked like she was about to salivate when she was eating, so she looked a little cute.
Yang Ruo knew that according to the records in the history books, Chengguo at this time did not have this kind of food. In fact, the history of pizza spread slowly in Naples, Italy, in the West 400 years ago. It only spread to the interior of Middle-earth, four hundred years later, and this kingdom belongs to a dynasty that has no history, if it is inferred from time, at least after the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, in this era, it is even more impossible to know about the existence of pizza.
Yang Ruo knew that she hadn't seen it, so she was very curious, so she hurriedly stepped forward, took a knife and fork in her hand, and put a small triangle in it and put it on a dinner plate. Because of the relationship between toast and butter poured on the top of the pizza, there were long threads as soon as it was pulled out, and the mouth of the palace maid was about to open into an O-shape. Yang Ruo took a breath, filled six small plates, and then introduced: "This kind of food, called pizza, is a flatbread, not a flatbread. In fact, from the time of our ancestors, someone has tried it, I saw it from an ancient book, and then tried it myself, but I found that the taste was not bad, so today I will be ugly. This pizza of mine is called Supreme Treasure Hibiscus Prawn Pizza. It is to add red sausage, shrimp meat, corn kernels, green beans to the dough, then add some condiments, and finally put it in the oven to bake. The resulting flavor is crispy and delicious, so you can eat it hot. When eating, you can close your eyes slightly, and you will feel a different and novel experience. ”
Yang Ruo's words immediately caused a discussion among the people below. The famous chef master of the eastern country, Master Bula is even more disdainful. "Hmph, I can't think of any new fame, so I use the words of the ancients and bluff, I want to see what you can do better than my good apprentice."
In fact, this master of Bula was originally from Chengguo, but because his skills were not as good as others, he lost to others and was kicked out of Chengguo. Later, he discovered the good place of Donglinguo, so he took root there incognito, step by step, and now he has become the first person in the imperial dining room. He has always had a regret in his heart, and he can't go to Chengguo in person to be ashamed. And when he learned the identity of Confucianism and saw that he was indeed talented in cooking, he immediately took him under his command and taught him many of his proud cooking skills, for today. The full fish banquet is one of his proudest works, so he is very confident in Confucianism's performance today. On the contrary, in his eyes, the big cake made by Yang Ruo could not enter his eyes at all.
"At the beginning of the tasting, at the end of the tasting, please evaluate the food you have eaten separately according to the number." Each dish has a code on it, and each dish is divided into three taste grades: fair, medium, excellent, and excellent.
In the end, the final evaluation of each dish will be used as the score of this competition, and the two players will compete against each other.
The next time is everyone's tasting time, and Yang Ruo will have time to take a breath.
At this time, she found that Wang Qi and Showa were not in the crowd, but Gongsun Jin was always there.
In order, the first thing to taste was the Confucian whole fish feast, and after everyone tasted it, their faces showed expressions that seemed to be delicious. Seeing such a picture, Yang Ruo's heart couldn't help but rise, although she said that she was very confident in her cooking skills, but pizza was a novelty after all. The so-called difficult to reconcile, maybe, everyone is very cold to this kind of food.
"I'll taste what this pizza tastes like, Aifei, you can eat some too." The emperor eats a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and he doesn't seem to be very interested in the whole fish feast made by Confucianism. I just patiently ate a chopstick in front of me, and I didn't eat it.
Yang Ruo saw that the emperor actually paid attention to the pizza plate, and his two hands were even more nervously clasped together.
When Concubine Ming saw that the pizza made by Yang Ruo was brought to her, she smiled and used a fork to get a piece and put it on the plate in front of the emperor. said: "Concubine, but I remember that the emperor doesn't like to eat dried snacks." I'm interested in this today. ”
"It smells good, it looks pretty good, I'll try it first." After the emperor finished speaking, he didn't wait for the attendant on the side to make a move, but held a fork himself, and seemed to be a little impatient to put a piece of pizza in his mouth.
First of all, the flavor of the dough, which is crispy and a little soft, and then there is the perfect fusion of vegetables and meat, which is a new taste.
Then Yang Ruo's words automatically sounded in his head, and he really closed his eyes, chewed slowly, and tasted it.
With the perfect blend of meat and pastry, it swept his taste buds. In the emperor's mind, a large blue lake appeared, and a strange and beautiful country like a castle appeared in front of his eyes, so he chewed more slowly and slowly.
And as the taste of the food changes deeper in his mind, the scenes that appear in his mind become clearer and clearer. The men of that beautiful country were very tall, bearded, dressed like Hu people, with big shovels in their hands and waving strong arms, and they were doing something to eat.
The women, on the other hand, wore very beautiful dresses, layer upon layer, dragging long skirts, with smiles on their faces, gongs and drums in their hands, singing and dancing to passionate music. It's just that when there is nothing in his mouth, that wonderful scene is gone again.
So the emperor involuntarily picked up another piece of pizza and put it in his mouth, and then the wonderful scene would appear with the deepening of the taste of the pizza.
"Hey, what's going on?" At first, Rufeng was quite proud, but when everyone was tasting the pizza made by Yang Ruo, they all closed their eyes, and the time they closed their eyes became longer and longer, what was going on.
"Okay, it's time. Voting is pleased. ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty? It's your turn. Seeing that the emperor had eaten several pieces of pizza in a row, his eyes were still closed, and the votes of the others had ended, and the votes of the two were still exactly the same, he couldn't help but urge in a hurry.
But it will be impossible for him to announce the scores, everything can only depend on God's will.
"Oh, it's time to vote." After speaking, the emperor finally opened his eyes.
I saw that his eyes were locked on the excellent evaluation card almost in the next moment. Then he picked up the sign, his eyes first saw Rufeng's side, and then said slowly: "What is my opinion?" ...... Give this. ”
Seeing that the emperor did not hesitate to give Yang Ruo's pizza, Lord Si Zheng immediately announced loudly: "Okay, the results of this round of the game are out, Yang Ruo wins." Next, give the two players a break with a stick of incense, and then move on to the final round of the competition. ”
"Okay, Yang Ruo will win, Yang Ruo will win." Here, Wang Jianting and the others shouted in unison, and Wang Fuzi and Yang Yuan also smiled. King Ming also had the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and looked at Gongsun Jin's expression intentionally or unintentionally.
I saw that the expression on his face was not serious.
"What's the matter, aren't you happy today, Yang Ruo's results are good today?" King Ming seemed to be deliberately trying to make fun of Gongsun Jin, looked at him and said.
And this will be the public prosecutor Jin just received the news from the people below, and his brows were locked even more. He muffled something that didn't hurt or itch. "What if you win? Did she think that just like that, she could control her own destiny? It's a pity that she was fooled and didn't even know it. Thinking of the ugly thing between Wang Qi and the county lord of Showa, and Yang Ruo still didn't know it, as an outsider, he could only watch it, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Being smart is being mistaken by being smart, you are just in the game and can't see clearly. Do you really think that this little woman in front of you is so simple? I know that the emperor has always hated eating pasta, but the emperor did eat several pieces of pizza for the first time today. What does this mean? It shows that she is constantly doing good skills and luck. As for the rest, I'm sure she can handle it too. It's really not good, isn't there still me? After King Ming finished speaking, he ordered his subordinates on the side to help him get a plate of pizza made by Yang Ruo.
After getting it, he ate it unceremoniously, and the appearance of the food was extremely inconsistent with his identity.
"The last game was from the east of the country, and seeing that they lost the first two games, this last game ranked half of the total score, but I am afraid that it is not easy." Gongsun Jin acquiesced in what King Ming said, without explicitly denying it.
At this time, someone said two words in the ear of King Ming, and after King Ming nodded, he said. "I see, keep staring." The man immediately bowed down and took the command.
"This Wang Qi actually got into King Rui's car, hasn't this kid always been high, and today's performance is that one." After King Ming finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Gongsun Jin, and Gongsun Jin's expression still didn't fluctuate much, obviously he had already known about it.
"I don't know why, but I don't think it's going to be a good thing." Gongsun Jin replied in a low voice. Although there were many people here, the emperor and several princes were still separated from the others, so what the two of them said would not be heard in other ways.
"Yes, I think so too."
"It seems that we have to step up that matter." Gongsun Jin nodded after hearing this, thinking of what Wang Qi had done today, the fist in his sleeve was indeed clenched tightly.
---
"No way, absolutely impossible." After hearing that Master Si Zheng announced the results of the competition, Ru Feng almost swept all the things on the console to the ground.
"Feng'er, calm down, don't we have one last question. I think if we win the last question, we will have an extra game, and then I will be absolutely sure. Let's do it according to our second plan. ”
After Master Bula finished speaking, the anger of Confucianism was obviously much smaller, and the person calmed down.
"Yes, apprentice understands, master, you old man, wait for my good news."
