When Feng Ruoruo heard Chen Wei say that he was sure to win, she became very unhappy and started yelling immediately.
"No, my dad's cooking is definitely better than yours. Yours just looks good, not delicious."
Chen Wei heard the little girl's argument and asked with a smile: "Is it really not delicious? Children should not lie. If you lie, you will no longer be a good child."
Hearing Chen Wei say this, the little girl felt very dissatisfied and wanted to continue arguing.
But her mother stopped her: "Okay, don't say that. It's rude of you to say that. Our Ruoruo is a polite and well-educated child, right?"
Under her mother's persuasion, Feng Ruoruo finally gave up arguing with Chen Wei.
Feng Yifan was not in a hurry at all. He waited quietly for everyone to finish tasting Chen Wei's goat milk bavaro.
After everyone had finished tasting, Feng Yifan served bowls of Yuanxiao to everyone.
Looking at the plain Yuanxiao that Feng Yifan placed in front of him, Su Lanxin said with a smile: "Compared with the one just now, this is really too plain."
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Some things may look gorgeous, but they are actually nothing special. They are just a combination of high-end ingredients to create a delicious taste, without much cooking skill involved.
But some seemingly plain things may bring surprises to the people who eat them. "
After hearing what Feng Yifan said, Su Lanxin looked at the Yuanxiao in the bowl in front of her and said, "Okay, then let's see what surprises you have in this Yuanxiao.
Next, everyone scooped up a Yuanxiao with a spoon and slowly put it into their mouth to taste it.
At first I thought it was Yuanxiao, but when I bit into it I found out it was not Yuanxiao.
The inside is really a different world, with many wonderful and matching tastes.
When they actually started chewing, everyone present was a little surprised. They couldn't tell what they were eating.
The outer skin is soft and sticky glutinous rice skin. The moment you bite it, the glutinous rice skin is broken and you bite the part that is a bit sticky and also very soft, but this softness is completely different from the glutinous rice skin.
Then you have to open the second layer of skin, and inside is the filling that looks like lava-like egg yolk.
But this slightly salty filling made everyone unable to tell what it was for a moment.
Such a complex taste that everyone who eats it is amazed.
After eating the first one, Zhuang Daozhong bit open the second one and took a look at the cross-section.
"Sure enough, there is something fishy going on inside. It should be a mixture of minced meat and minced shrimp, right? And then the seasoning is changed to a salty-sweet taste. It tastes really special. The key is that the meat tendons are removed and the minced shrimp is sieved, so it feels like eating the filling of a lava bun."
After Zhuang Daozhong pointed it out, everyone suddenly exclaimed.
No one would have thought that the fillings of these Yuanxiao would be made of meat and shrimp.
The key point is that it really doesn’t taste like meat or shrimp. It’s hard to imagine that it’s meat and shrimp.
However, Zhuang Daozhong frowned slightly after finishing the meal: "But there is a layer of skin in your Yuanxiao. What is it made of?"
In fact, Zhuang Daozhong’s doubts are also shared by several other judges.
Everyone was very confused and was tasting it carefully, trying to guess what was between the filling and the glutinous rice skin
Zhuang Daozhong couldn't guess, so he looked at Su Jinrong and asked, "Jinrong, do you know what this is?"
Su Jinrong shook his head: "I don't know."
Almost no one knew about it, but Su Lanxin said nothing and quickly finished the Yuanxiao in the bowl one bite at a time.
After finishing the meal, Su Lanxin said, "Okay, now that the tasting is over, can everyone give their ratings?"
Feng Ruoruo also enjoyed the meal very much and thought that her father’s Yuanxiao was really delicious.
Especially the filling, which is salty and sweet, tastes really good. The little girl likes it very much.
There is also the layer of skin between the glutinous rice skin and the filling, which the little girl also likes very much.
Feng Ruoruo asked her mother to taste it while eating: "Mom, please try it. This is really delicious. Ruoruo thinks that what Dad made is better than the one just now."
Su Ruoxi also ate a few Yuanxiao with her daughter feeding her with a spoon.
I found that when I listened to Zhuang Daozhong’s analysis of the stuffing, I felt a little bit of resistance psychologically when I thought about the stuffing of meat and shrimp.
I always feel that it would be very strange to put this kind of thing in Yuanxiao
But when I actually ate it, I found that it tasted very delicious.
It feels like eating those lava salted egg yolk mooncakes, but the complex flavor and texture are really better than that.
Before she knew it, Su Ruoxi had eaten several of them, and the rest were given to her daughter.
Feng Ruoruo then asked her two good friends Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei.
"Xixi, Feifei, do you think this is delicious? Is it better than the one just now?"
Yang Xiaoxi immediately said, "Yes, it's better than the one just now. The one just now was oily, and Xixi doesn't like the oily one."
Chen Yaofei continued, "That's olive oil. It can actually be eaten raw. For example, olive oil is added to vegetarian salads."
Feng Ruoruo then asked: "Then Feifei, which do you think is better, my father's or this one?"
Chen Yaofei thought for a moment and said, "Feng's is the best. It tastes very strange when you bite it. It has a combination of many flavors. It's salty, sweet, and crunchy inside. It's delicious."
Feng Ruoruo was immediately very happy when she received recognition from her two good friends.
The little girl even ran to Su Lanxin and said, "Look, Xixi, Feifei and I all think my dad's cooking is delicious, so my dad must have won."
Su Lanxin looked at the little girl and smiled and said, "Are you so sure that your father can win?"
Feng Ruoruo nodded: "Of course, my dad will definitely win."
Su Lanxin turned her head and looked at the judges and asked again: "Can we judge now?"
Zhuang Daozhong couldn't help but ask, "Yifan, can you tell me what this middle layer is?"
When Feng Ruoruo heard her great-grandfather asking about her father, she immediately turned around and rushed to her father, then hugged him.
Without waiting for her father to answer, Feng Ruoruo raised her little head and said to her father: "Dad, Ruoruo thinks you are the best."
Feng Yifan hugged his daughter and said with a smile: "Okay, Dad thanks Ruoruo."
Feng Ruoruo continued with a smile: "Then let's go, Dad. Since Ruoruo thinks you've won, you've won. You don't have to listen to them."
Hearing his daughter say this, Feng Yifan immediately laughed.
Gently pinching his daughter's little face, Feng Yifan said to her, "You can't leave yet. Look, great-grandfather, grandfather and grandfather Shi are all here. We have to wait for everyone to leave together."
Feng Ruoruo pouted and said, "But they have more people. Dad, you only have great-grandfather, grandfather and grandfather Shi. You can't compare with them."
Feng Yifan squatted down, hugged his daughter and said softly, "Okay, Daddy knows. Daddy knows that my Ruoruo will always support Daddy, but Ruoruo has to believe in Daddy. She will definitely win, right?"
After hearing what her father said, Feng Ruoruo nodded and said, "Okay, Ruoruo believes in Dad."
After coaxing his daughter, Feng Yifan stood up again and answered his uncle: "The layer in the middle of the Yuanxiao is actually radish."
Upon hearing this answer, Zhuang Daozhong and everyone else present were stunned and found it a little unbelievable.
Then everyone savored the remaining Yuanxiao in the bowl.
I even tried the middle layer.
I found that I couldn't taste any radish flavor at all, but I have to admit that the middle layer is indeed delicious, and because of its existence, the glutinous rice flour and filling that originally didn't go together are blended together.
And the sweetness in the heart is also transmitted through this middle layer.
Zhuang Daozhong looked at Feng Yifan and asked, "How did you make this? What kind of radish did you use?"
Feng Yifan glanced at Su Lanxin, then smiled and replied: "The reason why you can't taste the flavor of radish is because I peeled the radish very thinly and made it with honey."
Everyone was surprised to hear Feng Yifan's answer. Even Zhuang Daozhong had never thought that radish could be candied.
Feng Yifan continued to introduce: "This dessert is one of my innovations. I made it for my daughter. It is an innovative dish based on fake Yuanxiao."
When they heard the name of the dish "fake Yuanxiao", Zhuang Daozhong and Shi Jinbin immediately understood.
Fake Yuanxiao is a relatively traditional dish.
It is a dish made of Banqiao radish in the shape of Yuanxiao, and then stuffed with pork filling to make a dish similar to Yuanxiao.
Now Feng Yifan has made such a dish based on the fake Yuanxiao, which is really beyond everyone's expectations.
Now this bowl can indeed be considered Yuanxiao, but underneath the Yuanxiao skin, there is something else going on.
This magical cooking combination is really very novel.
Today, whether it was Feng Yifan or Chen Wei, the final dessert was actually very unique, and it also showed the skills of both of them.
Chen Wei's bavaro is made purely from goat's milk. The wonderful taste in the mouth is indeed a bit unexpected.
But Feng Yifan's innovative fake Yuanxiao surprised everyone even more.
This has reached a point where the fake is indistinguishable from the real thing.
You could say this is a dessert.
This can also be said to be a dish.
In particular, he candied the radish, which was a bit unexpected.
Zhuang Daozhong was silent for a moment and said: "The honey-making technique should have been most common during the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, there were even special honey-making bureaus that made various candied fruits. It really is true that everything can be candied fruit.
Yifan's approach today was really beyond our expectations. I think this courage to innovate is really worthy of our praise."
Shi Jinbin also continued: "Yes, as a chef, you must continue to innovate on the basis of tradition and constantly try to break through yourself, so that you can truly seek a higher realm. Yifan really did this today."
When Su Lanxin heard this, she spoke directly: "Master, is this considered partiality? Didn't Chen Wei's dessert make a breakthrough today?"
After Su Lanxin spoke, Sun Mingxing also spoke up: "Yes, I think that the dessert made by Senior Brother today is also a breakthrough and an attempt. This method of adding olive oil and sea salt to desserts to create a complex taste is really a breakthrough."
Ma Wenjing, Dai Feng and Lu Yongjun also agreed and expressed their support for Chen Wei.
Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "Actually, Chen Wei's dish is not really innovative, because I have already had this goat milk bavaro in restaurants abroad."
Hearing this, Sun Mingxing was a little surprised: "Uncle Master, have you really eaten it?"
Without waiting for Zhuang Daozhong to speak, Chen Wei said directly: "My dessert is indeed not innovative, and it has indeed been made in foreign restaurants."
Chen Wei's words made his fellow apprentices who were speaking for him feel a little embarrassed.
Zhuang Daozhong added: “But I still have to admit that Chen Wei, you have indeed made innovations in taste, and the taste of what you made is better than what I have tasted in foreign restaurants.”
At this point, it seems that everyone finds it difficult to judge these two issues.
Finally, it was Su Jinrong who spoke up: "Everyone, vote, anonymously, vote."
Shi Jinbin got a little excited when he heard this: "It's not good to vote anonymously, right? If that happens, someone might cheat on purpose. I think we should just raise our hands to vote."
Su Jinrong insisted: "No, vote."
Su Jinrong's persistence was somewhat unexpected to everyone, and Su Lanxin also glanced at her brother.
In the end, it was Zhuang Daozhong who said, "Okay, let's vote, but first we have to make it clear that we must be fair. If anyone dares to be partial, then everything will be invalid."
Then the group of judges began to vote, writing the name they thought was the best on pieces of paper.
When everyone had almost finished writing the notes, Meiru brought in the vote counting data from outside.
When she saw Su Lanxin, Mei Ru's face looked a little bad, and she hesitated whether to announce the results in public
Su Lanxin didn't care and said to Mei Ru, "Don't hesitate, announce the results."
When Mei Ru heard Su Lanxin say this, she did not hesitate any longer and said directly: "The statistics of the kindergarten lunch show that Feng Yifan won."
When Feng Ruoruo heard this, she immediately cheered: "Yeah, Dad won, Dad won."
While shouting, the little girl threw herself into her father's arms and raised her little hands high for her father to hold her.
Feng Yifan picked up his daughter, and the little girl hugged her father's neck and kissed him on the face: "Dad, you are great, you won."
Feng Yifan hugged his daughter and said, "We haven't won yet."
Feng Yifan then looked at the judges and asked, "So, how would you rate our lunch together?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Zhuang Daozhong spoke up: "For the kindergarten lunch today, I think Feng Yifan won."
Then Zhuang Daozhong looked at Chen Wei and shook his head in disappointment: "Chen Wei, your lunch is a buffet. Maybe you did use a lot of more advanced ingredients to make your buffet lunch look very gorgeous, but don't you think your lunch is missing something?"
Chen Wei looked at his uncle with some surprise and asked, "What's missing? Please enlighten me, uncle."
Zhuang Daozhong sighed and said, "Your buffet lunch lacks warmth, the warmth of home."
At this point, Zhuang Daozhong looked at Feng Yifan and said, "Although Yifan's lunch is a simple bento, each bento is like the lunch that every parent prepares for their child. It looks simple, but it is full of the warmth of home."
