Adorable Food Goddess Chapter 195: Enter the finals

Xia Zhuofeng stared at You's straight back, surprised and inexplicably. You seem to be a different person today, so tough. Is it because of the influence of the second wife?

The next day, Ye Jiayao got up early in the morning. She still went to greet Xia You first. Xia You didn’t need her to greet her because it was sympathetic to her, but she could not regard politeness as a blessing, and the rules must still be followed.

As always, Joe came earlier than her. Seeing her today, there was a bit of timidity in his eyes and a bit of flattery in his smile.

Qiao was deeply shocked by what happened last night.

People are bullies and hardships, and are not easy to provoke. Who wants to provoke them.

Furthermore, I heard that the mother-in-law gave porridge and saved Ye's morning and twilight afterwards, which made Qiao smell an unusual breath. It seems that Ye's has already been approved by her mother-in-law. Then she has to take it easy.

"Second sibling, your legs, are you okay?" Joe asked with concern.

Ye Jiayao smiled: "It's okay, thank you for your concern."

"Madam is here." The maid said.

Mother Sun helped Yushi out.

Seeing that Ye Jiayao was there, You's originally faint expression fluctuated, and Ye Jiayao became more pleasing to the eye, but this feeling of appreciation was quickly covered up by the cold expression.

The two daughters-in-law stepped forward to ask for peace. You Shi let them get up indifferently and said: "You all have to be busy today, so you don't need to spend it with me. Go ahead and get things done. This wedding day is getting closer, and there are so many things that have not been arranged, hey..."

Ye Jiayao feels ashamed. If it weren't for the culinary art competition and Chunfeng's wedding, she could help more.

Out of the house, Joe said: "I have to go to the accountant to pay the money, so don't pass it."

Ye Jiayao waited for Qiao to leave, and rushed to Tianshangju with Jiang Yue.

Today is a semi-final, a very critical match. Out of the 36 players, only ten can make it to the final. If Zhong Xiang can make it to the final, it will be considered a success. Of course, if Zhong Xiang is in the top three, it is for Zhong Xiang It’s a good thing. You can enter the Imperial Dining Room. This is the ultimate goal of most cooks. But for Tianshangju, it is both a good and a bad thing. Fortunately, Tianshangju has produced a chef-level pastry chef. The reputation will be shaken up. The downside is that if Zhong Xiang leaves, who will be in charge of the kitchen? Although Deng Haichuan and Wang Mingde can stand alone, their overall quality is still a bit worse than Zhong Xiang, and they need to be tempered.

But this entanglement was just a second thought and was left behind by Ye Jiayao. She could not hinder the development of others because of her own interests, that would be too selfish.

Qiao went to the counter to pay the bank note, and was about to go out, but ran into Zhou. Joe wanted to pretend not to see it and avoid it. Unexpectedly, Zhou called her.

"Chunli daughter-in-law..."

Joe had to stop.

"Three aunts."

"Mingxiu, where are you going? I heard that you opened an embroidery workshop in Jinling, and I was just saying that I was going to see you!" Zhou said with a smile.

Qiao's heart sighed, she didn't dare to let Zhou Clan go to her embroidery workshop, if she saw a good one, she would not lose money, her embroidery workshop could not compare with Ye's Tianshangju to make money.

"Oh, my mother asked me to pick some nice potted plants in the Peony Garden outside the city." Qiao hurriedly said his mission.

Zhou's small eyes lit up: "Really? I heard in Jinling that there are a lot of superb peonies in Peony Garden, but I haven't seen it before. It just so happens that I have to add some potted plants in my new house, so I might as well go together. Come on!"

Qiao cried secretly. Last night, she saw the tricks of the third aunt. She was a bit embarrassed, but she couldn't refuse.

Today's rematch brought more onlookers, which blocked the surroundings of the two stadiums.

The difference from yesterday is that today there are not only chopping boards but also stoves.

Zhong Xiang is obviously a little nervous, not as calm as yesterday.

"Don't know what game rules will be adopted?"

After the game yesterday, the organizers announced that those participating in the semi-finals do not need to bring their own tools and ingredients.

Ye Jiayao said: "You have to be confident, we have done enough preparations, plus your strength, absolutely no problem."

"Brother Xiang, the second youngest grandma said that you must do it." Wang Mingde said firmly. Facts have proved that the second youngest grandma never speaks big words.

"Brother Xiang, come on." Jiang Yue's eyebrows were crooked, showing a cute smile, learning the gestures commonly used by the second grandma, clenching a fist to cheer Zhong Xiang.

A suspicious blush appeared on Zhong Xiang's face: "Well, I will try my best."

The five judges started walking towards the podium, and the host began to announce the rules for today’s rematch.

It's still a prescribed item. All tools and ingredients are provided uniformly. Today's theme is noodles. The contestants can decide for themselves. A stick of incense regularly.

One after another, staff brought up the ingredients.

Flour, eggs, cooking oil, seasoning, a piece of pork, a handful of vegetables, two tomatoes, a few mushrooms, and a pot of water.

Ye Jiayao clearly sees that the main purpose of today's game is flavor. Even if your noodles are made into flowers, it is useless. Simple ingredients have to make unique flavors.

"Longxu noodles, kneaded with tomato sauce." Ye Jiayao said decisively.

Zhong Xiang nodded, took a deep breath, and strode into the arena.

The dragon beard noodle is Zhong Xiang’s best, and there has been a lot of hard work on it. Ye Jiayao once saw the modern culinary master stretch the dragon beard noodles. The spectacular scene of flying down three thousand feet is still fresh in her memory. Zhong Xiang can also reach that level, as thin as a hair.

Today’s game is all based on real skills, no speculation, but Ye Jiayao can still come up with a little bit of novelty. Kneading the noodles with tomato juice can make the noodles appear pink, and it tastes slightly sweet and sour. Kind of taste.

No matter what competition, creativity has an element of extra points.

The game started. Ye Jiayao seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, she has been paying attention to the players on the field.

She saw the Shanxi chef who took the first place yesterday making noodles. The skill of noodles was amazing. There were also fish noodles, trousers noodles and so on. He turned his eyes back to Zhong Xiang.

Zhong Xiang has already begun to stretch the noodles, and the pink noodles are constantly folded and stretched in his hand, with his left hand facing in and his right hand facing out, just like playing Tai Chi, and the noodles gradually become thinner. After countless folds, stretches, and one final touch, Zhong Xiang raised his hand above his head and began to shake his face. The filaments gradually loosened, rippling with a beautiful arc, and it really felt like three thousand silver filaments flowing straight down.

This hand-stretching skill has aroused many people's amazement. Even the judges on the rostrum stood up.

But Zhong Xiang looked attentive and didn't realize that he had become the focus of the field.

After the noodles are stretched, the pot is already hot, add cooking oil, stir-fry the pork marinated with egg white and various seasonings in the pot, quickly out the pot, and then use the pork boiled in fat to fry the mushrooms and vegetables , Add water to adjust the soup.

All procedures were in order, and Ye Jiayao slowly settled down.

Zhong Xiang has achieved his extreme today, and the rest can only be handed over to the judges.

It's time for a stick of incense. Only one player in the audience failed to complete within the specified time and was eliminated. The finished products of other players were all put on the podium and handed over to the judges to taste.

Zhong Xiang had been engrossed before, and he did it in one go. At this moment, he relaxed, and he felt sweaty. He smiled slightly at Ye Jiayao and the others, feeling good about himself.

Regardless of whether he can make it to the finals, today is the best time he has done in his life, and he is right about himself.

Ye Jiayao also smiled and nodded at him.

The review process is very long, which shows the serious and responsible attitude of you reviewers. The thirty-five players underneath, as well as the hundreds of onlookers outside the field, were all silent, anxious, or calmly waiting for the final result.

Finally, the judges returned to their positions, and the host announced the list of finalists.

Ye Jiayao listened carefully. Yesterday’s first place was still first today, and second place was yesterday’s eighth. It was really fast, but Zhong Xiang was still fifth.

"Brother Xiang is really good." Wang Mingde sighed with a smile.

Ye Jiayao said: "It's really amazing, ranking fifth. It seems that there is great hope for reaching the top three in the finals."

The players who made it to the finals were all smiles and smug, while those who were eliminated all looked sad and left.

The host announced the finals~IndoMTL.com~The finals will be arranged two days later. Everyone prepares their own tools and ingredients, makes two pasta dishes and two pastries, and can play freely.

"Second young lady, you are so godly, as if you know what the final match will be." Wang Mingde looked at Ye Jiayao in admiration. Didn't Brother Xiang prepare two dishes of pasta and two cakes?

Ye Jiayao sweats profusely, she doesn't know it, just a coincidence.

Jiang Yue whispered: "What nonsense? There are so many people here, let others hear, thinking that the second youngest grandma cheated."

Wang Mingde shut up quickly.

Ye Jiayao glanced at Jiang Yue, this little Nizi had more eyes, and she could even think of this.

Actually, the organizer of this culinary art competition is the imperial court. Naturally, the imperial dining room is the main organizer. Of the five judges, three are from the imperial dining room, and she is walking in the imperial dining room. If others know that Zhongxiang prepared Project, any guesses will come up.

Here, everyone happily went back to Tianshangju, and Qiao returned to the Hou Mansion with a sad face.

The third aunt is really shameless. She said she went to buy flowers, but she didn’t bring any money. She calculated carefully and bargained desperately to buy a few rare peonies and still have a balance. She wanted to keep it for herself, otherwise, she would pay Why do you bargain with so much tongue? As a result, they were all borrowed by Zhou.

Said it was borrowing, but in fact it was snatching, so I snatched it from her without any explanation.

Qiao was very upset, not to mention the benefits, her mother-in-law knows that she has to criticize her again, and she shed tears even thinking about it.

Xia Youshi heard that Zhou had borrowed more than 200 taels, and knew that this time it was meat buns and dogs. However, she didn't intend to close one eye this time, even if Zhou borrowed a copper coin, she would count it back.
