Chapter 544 The Buddha Jumps Over The Wall
The containers used in authentic Buddha jumping over the wall are all very particular, preferably earthen pots fired in ancient methods. Xia Jing laboriously moved out a jar of wine that she brought from her hometown from the ground. few.
This is aged Shaoxing rice wine without any trademark. It was brewed by Mr. Xia himself and presented by an old friend. It is also an authentic old wine brewed according to ancient recipes. It is completely hand-brewed. Even the wine-making containers have been used since the Republic of China. It is said that the literary master Lu Xun liked to drink this kind of hometown wine at the beginning, which can be described as authentic.
Xia Jing struggled to open the lid of the wine jar, and the aroma of wine suddenly hit her nostrils, making her want to drink it.
However, it is not advisable to drink alcohol during the competition. Xia Jing poured the wine into the prepared empty wine bottle. You can see that the yellow-brown wine is very attractive. She uses wine jars as containers for cooking, and rice wine is also an ingredient One of them, but I don’t use much, and it’s a pity to throw them away, so I collected them all.
Xia Jing then cleaned the wine jar, washing it inside and out three times, and finally rinsed it with water soaked in fragrant rice. The preliminary work was completed.
Then Xia Jing put the more difficult-to-cook ingredients into the bottom of the jar, and the layers were neatly stacked like a brick wall. A good dish must not only be delicious, but also beautiful. This is a must for the royal chef of their Xia family. Those with poor cooking skills would have been beheaded by the old Buddha in the palace. This is a unique craft that the ancestors of the Xia family have spent their lives practicing.
There are quite a lot of ingredients for Buddha Tiaoqiang, such as abalone, sea cucumber, fish lip, yak skin glue, king oyster mushroom, flower mushroom, cuttlefish, scallops, quail eggs, etc., are all neatly arranged by Xia Jing according to the ancient method, and then pressed in the pressure cooker over there The good tendon, pig's trotters and other ingredients were taken out, and put into the jars one by one. Finally, a layer of Shaoxing rice wine was poured on it, and there was a packet of their Xia family's unique and secret seasoning package. This dish was half completed.
Now Xia Jing put the wine jar on the stove and cooked it over medium heat to make the ingredients cook faster.
The usual method is to simmer, but there is not enough time. If you use medium heat, you need to master the heat better, otherwise the dishes at the bottom of the jar will be easily burnt, while the ones on the top will not be cooked. Fortunately, Xia Jing has been at home for a few days. After learning the fire control method, this time it can be applied with ease.
The cooking started, and the rest of the time was waiting, but Xia Jing still stared at the fire intently, observing the volatilization of the steam, and adjusting the size of the flame at any time.
This must not be sloppy at all, once it is made into paste or raw, then the game will be considered a failure.
At this time, other contestants completed their works one after another, and each plate of exquisite dishes was sent to the judges for scoring.
That Hou Bin also completed the work. After the judges scored, his score temporarily ranked first, and he began to feel proud again.
He looked at Xia Jing, who was still controlling the fire, and smiled disdainfully: "You really have no brains. You actually jumped over the wall like a Buddha in the competition. You don't have enough time to get the taste of the ingredients. It depends on how you get high scores. Last time It's a shame to lose to you!"
After Hou Bin finished the competition, he still refused to step down and watched Xia Jing not far away. He wanted to see with his own eyes how the female chef who took his No.1 in the preliminary competition made a fool of himself.
As time passed, there were only a few chefs left cooking. After the host introduced the rankings of the previous contestants, he turned his attention to Xia Jing.
"The only female chef at the scene is still in the intense cooking process. The judges just pointed out that what she is cooking is a famous dish from Fujian Province, but it is still a bit reluctant to cook Buddha Jumping Over the Wall within the limited time of the competition. I am looking forward to it now. , what kind of amazing culinary skills will this beautiful female chef have."
Only a few remaining chefs have completed their works one after another, and Hou Bin is still the first after the evaluation.
There are 2 minutes left in the game, Xia Jing is the only one left on the stage, and the hostess came to Xia Jing and asked her if she could finish on time?
"can."
Xia Jing turned off the fire at the last moment, and then used a cotton pad to take down the entire wine jar. At this time, the host who was standing close felt that the jar was scorching hot.
"Wow, you can smell the strong aroma now. This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall should be delicious."
The hostess was very pleasantly surprised. If she praised other dishes as delicious, it was for the effect of the show, but this Buddha jumping over the wall is really delicious, and she twitched her index finger when she smelled it.
A wine jar was filled with vegetables, weighing more than ten catties, which was very heavy. A staff member helped move the jar to the judges' seat. Other contestants did not receive such treatment. This was preferential treatment for beautiful chefs.
Now only Xia Jing's work has yet to be judged, and the five judges are already looking forward to it, wanting to taste the skills of the only female cook in the competition.
One end of the wine jar came over, and several judges squinted their eyes and sniffed, and their appetites were whetted when they smelled the strange fragrance. These five professionals could distinguish some ingredients from the taste, but it was too fragrant, better than they tasted before. The Buddha jumping over the wall is much more fragrant.
Xia Jing came over to lift the lid of the wine jar in person, and suddenly a gust of hot air billowed out, filling the hall with a scent that was several times more fragrant than before.
"Wow, audience friends, it's really delicious. I've never smelled such a fragrance. It's like eating!"
The hostess's eyes were about to star, and she, who is a foodie, couldn't bear it anymore.
Xia Jing put out a bunch of new chopsticks that she brought with her. Anyway, she made a lot, and anyone who was interested in the scene could come and taste it. It is said that gold cups and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of the audience. She wants more people to buy her dishes Convinced, and then recognized her cooking skills.
Now, after all, in the competition, let the judges taste it first.
Judge No. 1 is a middle-aged gourmet who is a frequent reader of food review magazines. He first observed the inside of the wine jar. He could see that various ingredients were arranged neatly together and were still steaming. This kind of bubbles were still bubbling after the fire was turned off. , indicating that the heat is well controlled. After a few minutes of turning off the heat, heat is still conducted from bottom to top, fully steaming the food.
Judge No. 1 had previously thought that Xia Jing was a female Internet celebrity who came to attract traffic. However, at the first glance when he saw this Buddha jumping over the wall, he knew that Xia Jing was not simple and had real talent and learning.
After facing up to Xia Jing's ability, he rinsed his mouth, then picked up a piece of pork knuckle and a piece of sea cucumber with a small plate, and then slowly cooled it down, trying to put the sea cucumber in his mouth to chew first.
"Um……"
"Ok?"
"Um!!"
Judge No. 1’s chewing didn’t matter, a strong aroma came out, and the unique taste and texture of the sea cucumber completely permeated his mouth. evaluation of.
From the calm at the beginning to some doubts, is this the sea cucumber he usually eats?Why is it so delicious?
As a result, after chewing for a while, after swallowing, the whole mouth and esophagus were filled with the aroma, and the sea cucumber still had stamina, no one would believe it.
