Chapter 46: Unparalleled Beef Brisket Pot
Mo Qingyan didn't know that before he even finished cooking the dish, many people had already decided from the bottom of their hearts that he would lose this time.
In this world, there is really no other dish that uses so many spices.
He was a pioneer.
However, even if Mo Qingyan knew, he would not care.
After all, the method of stewing beef brisket with so many spices has long been very common in his world.
This is the most common way to cook beef brisket that every ordinary family can make.
When Mo Qingyan saw the topic of beef, he immediately thought of stewing beef brisket.
The reason why we choose stewed beef brisket is because the aroma of this dish is something no one can resist.
This is a competition, and only the judges can taste the dishes he cooks.
Therefore, those who have never tasted the flavor will not admit defeat.
I feel the dishes he cooks are just so-so.
This led to the news that he and Gao Moqi had colluded to commit fraud.
In that case, he would prove himself with a dish that would make people know how delicious it is even if they haven't tasted it.
At the same time, it also cleared Gao Moqi's name.
This game only lasts two hours.
Mo Qingyan needs to hurry up.
He first washed the pot and boiled water.
Then immediately start cleaning the brisket and then cutting it into large pieces.
When stewing beef brisket, the beef brisket must be cut into large pieces.
Because the stewed beef brisket will shrink. If it is too small, the stewed beef brisket will have no taste.
By the time the beef brisket is cut, the water in the pot is boiling.
Quickly put the beef brisket into the pot and blanch it until it changes color, then take it out.
Then, use another pot, add oil after it is hot.
Next, add the bean paste, onion, ginger, garlic, etc., stir-fry until fragrant, then immediately pour in the beef brisket and stir-fry together.
After the beef brisket is stir-fried until it changes color, add cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, etc., stir-fry again, and then serve.
Next, dry the casserole, pour in a small amount of oil, then add the peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant, then put the beef brisket into the casserole.
After that, add an appropriate amount of water, then put in the star anise, cinnamon and other spices wrapped in gauze, cover the pot, and stew over high heat.
After the pot boils, turn to medium heat.
The most important thing when stewing beef brisket is patience.
Some people use a pressure cooker to cook beef brisket quickly.
The pressure cooker does cook the brisket quickly.
However, the beef brisket cooked in a pressure cooker is relatively soft, making it lose its toughness and texture.
The biggest feature of beef brisket is its chewiness.
If it loses its chewy texture, it would be better to just eat the beef directly.
The best way to stew beef brisket is to stew it in a casserole over slow heat.
It is usually simmered over low heat.
However, because the competition time is limited. Mo Qingyan cannot use slow fire.
So, switch to a slow simmer over medium heat.
It only took less than ten minutes to simmer.
The fragrance began to spread.
When several spices are stewed together, the aroma is very overbearing.
The longer it stews, the richer the aroma becomes.
Not to mention Zhou Ningren and others around Mo Qingyan, even the judges on the stage and the audience outside the competition venue began to smell the fragrance.
“It smells so good!”
"Yeah, it smells so good, what is this?"
"This fragrance seems to be the fragrance of those aniseed. It's strange, why is it so fragrant? I thought it was choking before, but now I think it smells very good."
"Strange, so strange. How can so many spices cooked together smell so good?"
"It's really strange. I've used spices to stew meat before, but never anything as fragrant as this one."
"My dad has used spices to stew meat before, and it did smell delicious. But I tell you, it only smells good. The meat tastes bitter and unpalatable."
"With so many spices stewed together, it must be fragrant. The smell is not important, what is important is that the beef tastes good."
…
Now the time is still short, and the only smell that can be smelled is the spice.
However, as time went on, the meat began to absorb the flavor, and the smell of spices, mixed with the rich aroma of meat, wafted away.
Those who were watching began to move strangely.
“It tastes like meat.”
“Is this beef so delicious?”
"No, it smells too good, I want to taste it!"
When the time was almost up, Mo Qingyan opened the lid of the pot, took out the spices wrapped in gauze, poured in the white radish, and changed the medium heat to low heat.
The addition of white radish is like adding the soul to the stewed beef brisket.
The aroma of the stewed beef brisket spreads even more unbridled.
The entire square was surrounded by the aroma of the stewed beef brisket.
Zhou Ningren and Li Zhenmin are the closest to Mo Qingyan.
They were already overwhelmed by the aroma of the stewed beef brisket.
I almost forgot about the delicious food I had on hand.
Not only them, but also the other contestants, as well as the judges and hosts on the stage, all couldn't help but cast their eyes on the purple clay pot in front of Mo Qingyan's stove.
It smells so good, why does it smell so good?
They had never smelled such delicious beef.
The onlookers outside the venue were also agitated by the overbearing fragrance.
"Damn, this smells so good."
"Oh my god, this smells so good that my mouth is watering."
"Why does it smell so good? Is this stew made of beef or dragon meat?"
"It smells so good. I can't help it. Don't stop me. I want to eat the meat first."
"No, I can't help it either. I want to eat meat, too. I want to eat meat."
"Can I be a temporary judge? I am also a gourmet, and I want to apply to be a temporary judge."
"And me, I also have a gourmet certificate, and I'm going to apply to be a temporary judge as well."
…
The aroma became stronger and stronger, and people near the competition venue were trying desperately to squeeze forward.
The passers-by behind, who were dazzled by the fragrance, couldn't help but stop and turn around to walk towards this side.
"What are you doing over there? It smells so good."
"Yeah, it smells so good. It looks like there's a food competition going on over there. Let's go take a look."
"How can this smell so good? It's so tempting. Come on, let's go over and see what this is made of that smells so good."
A large group of people, attracted by the aroma, rushed to the outside field of the game.
"Don't push, everyone is pushing."
"Watch your step, and don't crowd."
The security personnel had to deal with the crowds that kept pushing in while trying their best to suppress their most primitive appetite.
It's really too difficult.
The cameraman who was following Mo Qingyan captured this scene.
He was also so fragrant that he almost couldn't hold the camera.
He used his strong willpower to suppress the urge to pounce and open the casserole, while he couldn't stop swallowing his saliva.
The sound of him swallowing was really loud.
It was so loud that the audience in the live broadcast room could hear it.
Combined with the crazy looks of the onlookers in the camera, the audience in the live broadcast room were extremely shocked at this moment.
"No way? Is it really that fragrant?"
“Look at those people, it’s crazy.”
"With so many spices stewed together, the meat must be very fragrant. But it can't be as fragrant as this, right?"
"No way, no way? Isn't it said that meat stewed with so many spices must be unpalatable? If it is unpalatable, how can it be so fragrant?"
"Oh my god, guys. I was there, and I tell you, the aroma of Mo's stewed meat spread ten miles away. Many people were almost drooling over the aroma. Including myself."
"It's not right. As a serious chef, I can tell you that although the meat stewed with spices is very fragrant, the fragrance is very pungent. It will never make people so addicted. The crazy look of those people reminds me of Brother Mo's three-fresh dumplings."
"Damn, three-fresh dumplings? The aroma was so fragrant that many people almost got dizzy. Can Brother Mo's beef stew be compared with three-fresh dumplings?"
"I see, how come it seems even crazier than when the Three Fresh Dumplings were made? Look at Zhou Ningren next to him, he seems to be stunned by the fragrance."
…
Zhou Ningren was indeed almost driven crazy by the fragrance.
After Mo Qingyan added white radish to the stewed beef brisket, the aroma seemed to be completely stimulated.
The rich aroma of beef and the fresh fragrance of radish mixed together is simply a one plus one equals ten effect.
Zhou Ningren originally planned to use the selected beef to make steak.
But before cooking the steak, you need to marinate it.
He originally thought that his steak tasted quite good.
However, when the aroma of Mo Qingyan's stewed beef brisket came out, he could no longer smell the steak in front of him.
All his sense of smell was completely occupied by the aroma of the pot of stewed beef brisket in front of Mo Qingyan.
He completely forgot that he was still marinating his steak.
By the time he reacted, the five-minute countdown had already sounded.
The countdown bell brought all the contestants back to their senses from the aroma of stewing beef brisket.
After they realized what was happening, they immediately began to work busily.
But I couldn't stop being shocked.
Why is the beef stewed by Mo Qingyan so delicious?
It smells so good, how good must it taste?
This is totally unimaginable.
Finally, Zhou Ningren finished frying the steak one minute before the end of the game time.
This type of beef tenderloin steak is also called fillet steak.
This kind of steak cannot be overcooked, otherwise the meat will become tough.
If it is not cooked enough, it will have a bloody smell.
So, the best is medium rare.
Not too cooked, not too raw. The meat is tender and just right.
In addition to Zhou Ningren who made steak, Li Zhenning also made steak.
After all, it would be a shame not to make steak with such good beef tenderloin.
Some people choose other parts of beef, some make steaks, and some make stir-fried dishes.
Basically, for nine people, it's either steak or stir-fry.
The dishes produced are basically the same.
There are just slight differences in the presentation.
Only Mo Qingyan makes stewed beef brisket.
And it’s stewed in a casserole.
The kind that stews for about two hours.
So, among so many dishes put together, Mo Qingyan’s is the most eye-catching.
While Mo Qingyan was stewing the beef brisket, the judges were already impatient.
There's no way, the fragrance is just too strong.
When the wind blew, the fragrance was blown onto the stage.
It blew directly at the judges. If they hadn't been supported by their strong willpower, they would have rushed off the stage long ago.
However, Mo Qingyan's dishes can only be saved for tasting last.
Because his dishes are the most heat-retaining, and after the steak is fried, it must be eaten as soon as possible.
Otherwise the taste will change.
So, they had to taste the steak first.
All the steaks were shuffled and then served to the judges one by one.
All steaks are basically served with two sauces, one is tomato sauce and the other is black pepper sauce.
The judges can add whatever flavor of sauce they want.
Although the steaks are similar, the taste is very different.
Steaks from different parts have different tastes.
The steak will taste different if you fry it with different techniques and at different temperatures.
Naturally, the scores given by the judges will be different.
If you eat something delicious, you will obviously eat one more bite. If the food tastes average, you naturally won’t take a second bite.
After finishing the steak, we started eating the stir-fried dishes.
The fried beef is either fried with peppers or onions. It seems that apart from these two, there is no other dish that can go with the beef.
In other words, apart from making steak and stir-frying beef, there seems to be no other good way to cook beef.
Not to mention that the judges on the stage were tired of watching, even Mo Qingyan was tired of watching.
Just as the judges on the stage were tasting the fried beef.
Mo Qingyan, who was waiting with her hands behind her back, suddenly heard the voice of the system coming from her head.
[Release an intermediate level money-spending task.] 】
[Host, please go to the Mengdeli Auction in City A within 1 hour and spend 8 million Chinese yuan. 】
[After completing the mission, you will be rewarded with an intermediate lottery.] Mission failed, killed. 】
Damn, mission failed, wiped out?
Mo Qingyan didn't expect that the punishment for failing this mission would be so severe.
Wait, go to City A within 1 hour?
What a joke! It takes more than an hour to drive from here to City A.
How could he get to City A within an hour?
What's more, I have to go to that Mendeley Auction.
He didn't even know that the auction was in City A.
Mo Qingyan couldn't help but said to the system in her mind: "System, if you want to kill me, just do it. There's no need to issue such an impossible task, right? It takes more than an hour to drive from here to City A. How can I get to City A within an hour?"
[The host can go to Area A of Guangyuan Plaza ground parking lot. The helicopter to the Mendeley Auction in City A will arrive in five minutes. Mission countdown. The timer will start after the helicopter arrives. 】
"What? A helicopter?"
Mo Qingyan was shocked, he didn't expect it. In order to complete a wasteful task, the system actually brought in a helicopter.
What are you waiting for? Go quickly!
Once the helicopter arrived, the countdown began.
Mo Qingyan immediately took off her apron.
Then, he walked quickly towards the exit of the competition venue.
When the staff saw this, they immediately ran over and stopped Mo Qingyan.
"This contestant, you are not allowed to leave without permission during the competition. If you leave without permission, it will be regarded as giving up the competition. You will be disqualified. If you really have something urgent to do, you can wait until the judges finish scoring before leaving."
Mo Qingyan said anxiously: "I'm sorry, I have something urgent to do and can't wait. I have to leave now."
This concerns his life and he can't wait even a minute.
Li Zhenmin immediately stepped forward and grabbed Mo Qingyan, "Mo Qingyan, what are you doing? If you leave now, you will be disqualified from the competition. If there is anything, can't you hold it in for a while and solve it after the competition is over?"
Li Zhenmin thought that Mo Qingyan needed to solve a physiological problem.
So I advised him to be patient.
After all, it would be Mo Qingyan’s turn to cook her dish in just a few minutes.
Waiting is also possible.
It would be a shame if I left and was disqualified from the competition because of this.
"I'm sorry Uncle Li, I think this competition is over for me. So, it doesn't matter."
After saying that, Mo Qingyan directly pulled away Li Zhenmin's hand that was holding his arm and quickly left the competition venue.
Now Mo Qingyan can't wait even a minute.
He couldn't waste any more time. When the system released the task, this competition was doomed to end.
Therefore, being disqualified from the competition doesn’t matter to him.
Saving your life is the most important thing now.
Watching Mo Qingyan leave without looking back, Zhou Ningren walked to Li Zhenmin and asked in surprise, "He just left like that?"
"Didn't you see it all?" Li Zhenmin glanced at him and then returned to his seat.
Zhou Ningren looked at Mo Qingyan's departing back and an angry expression appeared on his face.
"What does he mean? The game is about to end, but he chooses to leave at this time. Does he look down on this game, or does he look down on us?"
"What do you mean the game is over for him? He obviously thinks he will win the game, so he thinks it is meaningless and leaves. He obviously looks down on us. He is so confident, can his beef brisket win?"
If it had happened before, Zhou Ningren might have thought that Mo Qingyan really had something and was in a hurry to leave.
However, today's game is about to end. He was unwilling to wait even for a few minutes and left without hesitation.
If he really didn't want to compete, he wouldn't have to come today.
Now that we are here, we should play the game seriously.
However, during the competition, he chose the lowest quality beef brisket that no one else would choose.
Then, he selected a bunch of big ingredients that no one else could choose.
This is to prove his cooking skills.
He wanted to prove that he could make delicious food out of things that others didn't want.
And he seemed to have done it.
The beef brisket stewed at the end is full of fragrance.
What a commotion it caused.
Even Zhou Ningren himself couldn't help but be mesmerized by the fragrance. I almost couldn't get out.
At that moment, Zhou Ningren seemed to understand that Mo Qingyan's previous victory might have been due to his own ability.
However, this is just his own guess.
The scores for this competition have not come out yet, and no one knows the final result.
Mo Qingyan's departure gave many people countless fantasies.
The judges looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw him leave.
"Now that this person has left, should we still taste his food?"
"Of course it is necessary. Whether people leave or not, the dishes must be rated."
"When he was stewing beef just now, it was so delicious. I must try it."
"Yes, I have never smelled such delicious beef!"
The chief judge pursed his lips and said, "With so many spices, how could it not be fragrant? It may smell good, but it may not taste good."
In his opinion, Mo Qingyan's sudden departure was just a trick.
He probably left early because he felt he couldn't win.
After all, although the meat smells delicious, it will definitely taste bitter and astringent if so many spices are added.
This is the gourmet that he is. Experience tasting numerous dishes.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned when they saw Mo Qingyan suddenly leave the competition venue.
"What's going on? Why did Brother Mo suddenly run away? The game isn't over yet!"
"Yeah, what urgent matter could be more important than the game? It will soon be Brother Mo's turn. All that's left is the final score, and today's game will be over."
"Maybe Brother Mo felt that those people doubted him, so he got angry and simply stopped the competition?"
"If that's the case, why would Brother Mo want to participate in the competition? Why not just not go?"
"Silly, if you don't go, wouldn't others think that Brother Mo is guilty? Brother Mo went and cooked the dishes for the competition, which proved that Brother Mo is not guilty. As for why he left, I think Brother Mo wanted to use this behavior to tell others that with his cooking skills, he doesn't need to use backdoors at all, because he can crush everyone present with the dish he just cooked."
"Oh my god, so this is why Brother Mo left. No wonder Brother Mo said that the competition is over for him. It turns out that Brother Mo feels that with his strength, others are no match for him."
"That's why Brother Mo chose the beef brisket that others didn't want, and also deliberately selected so many spices that others wouldn't choose. Brother Mo chose the things that others wouldn't choose. And he used the inferior beef brisket to make dishes that were even more delicious than those they made with the superior beef."
"Brother Mo, are you planning to stage a comeback? Are you planning to slap someone in the face?"
"Playing with face slapping? I like this kind of plot, haha, I'm really looking forward to it."
…
Mo Qingyan, who was rushing to the parking lot at this time, had no idea that his two casual words would lead to so many groundless speculations.
He was just trying to save his life and complete the mission.
It takes about five minutes to walk from the main entrance of Guangyuan Square to Area A of the ground parking lot.
The system seems to have been carefully calculated.
Of course, if you walk faster, the time will be shorter.
Song Beichen and the others were in the cafe in Guangyuan Square, drinking coffee and watching Mo Qingyan's live broadcast.
When they saw Mo Qingyan running out, they hurriedly followed her out.
"Where are you going, Mo?"
"I don't know. Let's go and take a look."
Soon, Song Beichen and the others followed Mo Qingyan to the parking lot in Area A.
As soon as I entered the parking lot, I found that all the cars in Area A were empty.
At this time, there were still security personnel there directing the last two cars to leave quickly.
When Mo Qingyan arrived, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes trotted over.
After running in front of Mo Qingyan, he was gasping for air. While wiping the sweat from his forehead, he respectfully said to Mo Qingyan: "Hello, Mr. Mo, according to your instructions, the parking lot in Area A has been cleared."
"Who are you……"
Mo Qingyan was confused. When did he ask them to clear the parking lot in Area A?
The middle-aged man in a suit gently pinched the nameplate on his left chest and replied, "I am Huang Ming, the management manager of Guangyuan Plaza. It is normal that Mr. Mo does not know me, but I have heard of Mr. Mo for a long time. According to Mr. Mo's instructions, we have cleared all the cars in Area A within half an hour. The helicopter arranged for you will arrive soon."
Clear parking lot A within half an hour?
However, the system had just issued the task a few minutes ago and asked him to come over.
Before this, he didn't even know there was such a money-losing mission.
Mo Qingyan knew very well that she was still in the game half an hour ago.
Where is the time for this manager to clear the parking lot.
So, it's not him.
Then the only way to contact Manager Huang is through the system.
In other words, before issuing the task, the system had already asked people to clear the parking lot and arrange a helicopter for him.
Mo Qingyan didn't expect that the system would be so powerful.
Song Beichen* and others who had just arrived heard the conversation between the two.
"Helicopter? Brother Mo, where are you going?" Song Beichen asked while panting.
We are recording the program right now, but Brother Mo suddenly decided not to compete anymore. Why would he need such a big show like a helicopter?
Mo Qingyan did not hide it and said directly: "Go to City A and attend an auction."
"Is it the Mendeley Auction?" Taozui asked.
"Do you know this auction?" Mo Qingyan looked at Tao Zui.
Tao Zui smiled and said, "Of course, this auction is very famous in City A. My dad was invited to attend the auction today."
"Mendeli Auction, I remember this is a food auction, right?" Yin Yiyi had heard of this auction.
This auction is different from other auctions.
The items auctioned at this Mendeley auction are some of the more precious food ingredients.
"No wonder Brother Mo is so anxious to attend the auction, it turns out he is going to the Mengdeli Auction. I haven't been there yet, Brother Mo, can we go with him to broaden our horizons?" Song Beichen looked at Mo Qingyan expectantly.
Tao Zui said, "It seems that you can only bring one invitation to this auction. Unless it is an invitation to the highest-level private room, there is no limit on the number of people you can bring. After all, that high-end invitation is for the private room of the auction."
Mo Qingyan thought that he hadn't received any invitation letter yet.
Therefore, he had no idea what level the invitation letter the system gave him was.
Therefore, he did not dare to agree to Song Beichen.
Unexpectedly, Manager Huang next to him suddenly took out a black invitation letter from his suit pocket and handed it to Mo Qingyan.
"By the way, Mr. Mo, this is your invitation to the auction."
Mo Qingyan took the invitation and found that it was gold-plated.
"Is this the invitation to the Mendeli private room?" Tao Zui recognized the invitation at a glance. It was the invitation to the highest level private room of the Mendeli auction.
Song Beichen, Yin Yiyi and Qi Na all looked at the invitation letter in Mo Qingyan's hand with curiosity.
Zina looked curious, "Is this the invitation to Mendeley's private room? I've only heard of it, but this is the first time I've seen it."
"Me too. I heard my grandfather mention it once before." Yin Yiyi's grandfather pays more attention to health preservation, so he would occasionally attend this auction.
Song Beichen said: "I haven't been there either."
Although the Song family is a top family in City A, it is not difficult to get this invitation letter.
But Song Beichen had never been interested in these food auctions before. So I don’t know much about this auction.
On the contrary, because Taozui runs a high-end club, he occasionally needs some rare ingredients to keep things going.
So, I have some understanding of this auction.
"Since none of us have been there, let's go together." Mo Qingyan herself had never been there anyway, so it was a good opportunity for her to find Song Beichen and the others to keep her company.
It can also increase the traffic of the live broadcast room.
"real?"
"Very good."
"Thank you, Mo."
Hearing that they could go together, Yin Yiyi and the others were overjoyed.
Given their family background, it is not difficult for them to go.
They just wanted to follow Mo Qingyan to join in the fun.
The audience in the live broadcast room were all shocked at this moment.
"Oh my god, Brother Mo ran so fast just now, I thought he was in a hurry, but I didn't expect that he was actually going to take a helicopter to attend the auction?"
"Who is Brother Mo to have the Guangyuan Plaza manager clear out the parking lot?"
"My brother Mo is awesome."
"Is this the life of rich people? When they think of attending an auction, they hurriedly call for a helicopter and leave."
"We are in a hurry to take a taxi, while the rich are in a hurry to take a helicopter. That's the difference!"
"Oh my god, Brother Mo has been so down to earth these past few days, I almost forgot he's a rich man."
…
Just at this moment, the sound of a propeller was heard not far away.
Everyone looked up at the sky and saw a white helicopter flying towards them.
"Here it comes, the helicopter is coming."
The arrival of the helicopter immediately attracted the attention of many people in the square.
Seeing the helicopter landed in the direction of the parking lot, everyone curiously wanted to go over and find out what was going on.
When Mo Qingyan and others got on the helicopter, the stewed beef brisket made by Mo Qingyan was also served to the judges' table.
When the staff opened the lid of Mo Qingyan's beef brisket pot, they almost drooled at the aroma that filled their noses.
They really exerted great patience and finally managed to recover and put the beef brisket on the plate.
Each judge gets two pieces of beef brisket and one piece of radish.
For this kind of food competition, this amount is still enough.
The stewed beef brisket has the perfect balance of fat and lean, bright color, and shiny oil. It looks very appetizing at first glance. Plus the aroma is delicious.
The judges couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks, pick up a piece of beef brisket and put it in their mouths.
The beef brisket was cut into large pieces, but after being stewed, it shrank by half.
A piece of beef brisket, just the right size for your bite.
When the beef brisket was put into their mouths, all the judges widened their eyes at the same time.
They were shocked by the deliciousness of the beef brisket.
Because it is fresh beef brisket, it is stewed for two hours until it is flavorful and tender.
The originally hard-to-chew beef brisket has now become soft, tender and smooth.
The judges even felt that the steaks were more tender and smoother than the ones they had just eaten.
It's soft, tender and smooth, but not so tender that it will melt completely. Instead, it still has a slight chewy texture.
Even though so many spices are added, the beef brisket does not have a single bitter taste.
The proportions of several ingredients are simply perfect.
It not only removes the mutton smell of the beef brisket, but also thoroughly stimulates the meaty aroma in the beef brisket, increasing the flavor by more than ten times.
In fact, the smell of fresh beef brisket is not too strong, just a little bit.
However, anyone with a sensitive tongue can taste it.
However, Mo Qingyan's beef brisket did not have any smell of mutton at all.
Instead, your mouth is filled with the pure aroma of meat.
Each piece of beef brisket is full of soup.
Every time you chew it, the fragrant soup will overflow.
Therefore, the more you chew the beef brisket, the more delicious it becomes.
It smells so good that you can't help but want to swallow your tongue.
Although the meat was large, the judges did not feel it was greasy at all.
In addition to the fact that the beef brisket has the golden fat-to-lean ratio of 2:8, radish is also added to it.
The fragrance of radish absorbs all the excess fat in the beef brisket.
This makes the beef brisket fat but not greasy.
After they ate one piece, they couldn't help but eat the second piece immediately.
After finishing two pieces of beef brisket, the judges were still not satisfied.
It feels like I just ate it and it’s gone.
My heart suddenly felt extremely empty.
The aroma of the beef brisket lingering in their mouths made them unable to stop themselves from reaching out their chopsticks for the white radish that they simply disdained.
The originally white radish absorbed the brown soup of the beef brisket and changed color after being stewed with the beef brisket.
I originally thought that this radish would taste ordinary.
After all, there is the beef brisket in front that is so delicious that you can't help but swallow your tongue.
However, when the radish was eaten, the judges found out that they were wrong.
This humble white radish was also stewed until soft.
During the stewing process, the excess fat of the beef brisket is absorbed, and the meaty aroma of the beef brisket is also absorbed.
Therefore, each piece of radish is filled with the aroma of beef brisket.
The aroma of the beef brisket is mixed with the sweetness of the radish.
Fragrant but not greasy, juicy and flavorful.
The combination of white radish and beef brisket is simply perfect.
After eating, one judge couldn't help but raise his hand and shouted, "Give me another portion of stewed beef brisket and the radish. I haven't tasted it yet!"
As soon as the first judge raised his hand, the second judge also raised his hand.
"I want some too. Give me some soup too. You guys are too stingy. How can we taste it if you don't give us more?"
"Yeah, it's such a big pot, but they only give us two or three pieces, and they're gone in no time. How can it be enough?"
The judges kept shouting for more dishes.
Unexpectedly, even the chief judge lost his dignity as a gourmet.
He shouted to the staff, "Give me an extra one, too."
This scene completely confused the workers and contestants below.
In this food competition, they have seen people try more than one bite.
But I haven't seen it before, and it requires additional dishes.
The judges seemed to be eating with great relish, almost licking their plates.
Zhou Ningren couldn't believe it.
How delicious must the stewed beef brisket be to make the judges ask for more dishes?
Zhou Ningren really wanted to know.
So, when the staff was loading the food again, he suddenly walked to Mo Qingyan's stove.
He picked up the disposable chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef brisket and put it into his mouth.
The staff wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
The next second after Zhou Ningren put the beef brisket into his mouth, he was stunned. His hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air.
The incredible fragrance in his mouth was something he had never tasted before.
He originally thought that the beef brisket stewed with so many spices should taste fragrant and astringent.
Because he had also used aniseed to stew meat before, and if you put a little more of it, the taste of the meat would become fragrant and astringent.
It smells good, but tastes terrible.
However, Mo Qingyan's beef brisket did not have any bitterness at all.
Only fragrance.
Although the flavor of the spices is also very strong, it does not overpower the meaty aroma of the beef brisket.
On the contrary, the aroma of those spices is meant to thoroughly bring out the flavor of the beef brisket.
The aroma of the beef brisket reaches its peak.
It feels like eating the essence of a whole cow.
Compared with the aroma of the beef brisket in his mouth that was so strong that it seemed to have filled his entire body, his confident steak seemed like a joke.
Zhou Ningren immediately picked up another piece of radish.
The radish soaked in beef brisket juice also has a subtle meaty aroma.
When you take a bite, you can taste not only the aroma of meat, but also the faint fragrance of radish.
In addition to the complementary flavors, white radish also has the effects of clearing away heat, promoting salivation, stimulating appetite and strengthening the spleen.
When stewing beef brisket, adding white radish can not only relieve greasiness, but also effectively remove the heat from the beef brisket.
The combination of white radish and beef brisket is simply perfect.
This dish combines all the ingredients and condiments to perfection.
Zhou Ningren finally understood why the judges were asking for more dishes.
Because after he ate one piece, he couldn't stop wanting to eat the second piece, or even the third and fourth piece.
Zhou Ningren even felt that even if his father, a state banquet chef, came, he might not be able to make such a perfect beef brisket pot.
He finally understood why Gao Moqi wanted to pack up the food made by Mo Qingyan the day before yesterday and even yesterday.
That was not to help Mo Qingyan get in through the back door or create momentum.
Rather, the food prepared by Mo Qingyan was so delicious that even gourmets who had tasted all kinds of delicacies from land and sea couldn't help but want to pack it up.
And he finally understood why Mo Qingyan wanted to end the game early.
That's because he already knew that once his beef brisket pot came out, no one would be able to compete with him.
I feel like there's no point in continuing this competition.
"I lost." Zhou Ningren put down the chopsticks in his hand with a bitter smile on his face.
“I can’t compare to dishes like this.”
He accepted defeat with all his heart.
Thinking back to the very beginning, he had been blindly arrogant and looked down on and mocked Mo Qingyan in various ways.
Zhou Ningren wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Only an amateur chef can make food taste like this.
It is also a very remarkable existence.
It was the first time that Zhou Ningren was defeated by an amateur chef.
It was also the first time I witnessed how skilled these amateur chefs are.
Mo Qingyan's dishes broke his stubborn idea that only state banquet chefs were the best for many years.
Finally, the ratings came out.
Zhou Ningren took first place and Li Zhenmin took second place.
However, Zhou Ningren, who finally got the first place, felt that this first place was so ironic.
This first place came into his hands because Mo Qingyan didn't want it.
Zhou Ningren didn't want the first place that was obtained in such a humiliating way.
