Chapter 180 (1/2)

Ye Jiayao, a famous Sichuan chef, once again became the focus of Jinling City after being publicized by a lot of good people. The popularity of Ye Jiayao surpassed all the popular contestants.

Some people are glad that the woman is married, otherwise the competition will have a strong enemy.

It's a pity that someone got married so early? Otherwise, the wonderful degree of the competition will not only improve a level, but also will not be the opponent.

There are also people who are very upset, such as ye Ning's mother and daughter, such as Liuli princess, who is about to become sister-in-law with ye Jiayao.

This woman became a relative, still so restless, she had to make such a big noise to deal with others. Ye Jinrong was very pregnant and lay half dead in bed every day.

Wei Liujiang asked his family for a sum of money to do business. When he heard that there were many people playing with jade in Jinling, he opened a jade shop. However, he lost tens of thousands of liang of silver on the first purchase, and then he was beaten up. After lying at home for several days, he was still black and blue.

Muqi couldn't look down on it. He begged mu Shilang to find him a lucrative business. It happened that the Ministry of works was building water conservancy. If the river from Jinling to Yangzhou was well done, the oil and water was enough. It took mu Shilang a lot of air to help him get the contract right.

At first, Wei Liujiang thought that the name of contractor was not very nice, and he didn't have the elegance to play with jade. But he couldn't resist the joint efforts of his mother-in-law and his wife, so he reluctantly took over.

On October 20, the long-awaited cooking competition officially kicked off.

The first day is a basic skill competition.

Because Zhong Xiang participated in pastry, ye Jiayao focused on pastry.

The total number of participants in the pasta competition was 96, and half of them were from Shanxi. Shanxi's pasta is famous all over the world. These players are full of self-confidence and look, as if they are the first three places.

The contest specifies the assessment content. Dumplings are popular pasta in the north and south. Don't underestimate a dumpling. It includes all the basic skills needed to make pasta: mixing dough, kneading dough, rubbing strips, dispensing, making skin, filling, forming, etc.

Stuffing is uniform, white flour, water, weight is equal, production tools are the same, do not add any seasoning, simply do dumplings.

Ye Jiayao takes Jiang Yue and Wang Mingde to watch the battle. Seeing the skillful skills one by one, Wang Mingde can't hold his breath. He has to brush down more than half of the preliminary match.

”Second young lady, do you think brother Xiang can enter the second round?”

Ye Jiayao frowns slightly. It's hard to say. Although Zhong Xiang's basic skills are good, there are so many experts here. Let's see the last process Shape, hope to win by cleverness.

Before the competition, they prepared a lot of new-style pastries, such as three-color longxumian, gradual color wide noodles, Yuanyang steamed dumplings, rose steamed dumplings, butterfly steamed dumplings, Yuanyang steamed dumplings, as well as various steamed buns, cakes and so on.

As a result, I didn't expect that the competition system was like this. We couldn't think of any ideas on the face. As long as the skin is flexible, the key is in the last step. It seems that the preparatory work has not been done in vain.

Everyone's hands are very dexterous. According to the regulations, they are divided into 22 dosage forms. Some staff members brought a plate and took one from each person's hand and placed them according to the number.

After rolling out the dough, another piece of dough is taken away.

That is, every step is the key point of judgment.

”It's filling.” Jiang Yue wring her handkerchief nervously.

Ye Jiayao began to walk, along the warning line, from the first row to the last row, his face gradually relaxed, with a smile on his face.

Returning to his original position, Wang Mingde said: ”did the second young grandmother see anything?”

Ye Jiayao's mouth curved and said definitely, ”Zhong Xiang can win.”

Because most of the contestants are honest in making traditional dumplings, and only a few of them are original. But can these people be more imaginative and creative than a gourmet expert from thousands of years later? Ye Jiayao's free hand is enough to shock them.

Wang Mingde and Jiang Yue gradually relaxed after seeing the second young grandmother's determination.

After all, butterfly dumplings are much more complex and delicate than traditional dumplings.

When the dumplings were not collected this time, the five judges looked at them one by one. They thought that the shape was exquisite and flattering. They nodded. Only then did the entourage come to take the dumplings away. What they left was tantamount to the announcement of elimination.

Zhong Xiang's butterfly dumplings are undoubtedly very eye-catching. The judge stayed in front of Zhong Xiang's board for the longest time and seemed to have asked some questions.

Because of the distance, we couldn't see the judge's expression or hear what they said until Zhong Xiang's butterfly dumplings were taken away.

Jiang Yuexin clapped her hands happily and whispered in a low voice: ”the end is gone and the end is gone. There is hope.”

Finally, five judges gathered at the front desk and pointed out the selected dumplings. Only when there was enough time for them to announce the shortlist for the second round.

Ye Jiayao and others listened with their ears up. A total of 36 people were selected, and Zhong Xiang's name ranked fifth.

Ye Jiayao nods with satisfaction. This result is very good.Jiang Yue is unconvinced: ”I see brother Xiang do the best look, by what only ranked fifth?”
