Chapter 998 The First Score of the Seafood Alliance

"It looks delicious. The original flavor is so delicious. I don't know how this spicy one is." Wang Xiang stuffed the chopsticks into his mouth expectantly.

Yes, Wang Xiang is right. Yuanzhou's crab balls actually have two flavors. The spicy one soaked in red soup, while the one on the surface is the original flavor without adding any seasoning. Handmade authentic sea crab meat.

The key is that these two flavors do not affect each other, but do not interfere with each other.

As soon as this spicy crab is taken into mouth, the spicy feeling wrapped in the outer layer sweeps through the mouth. It is not until the outer layer melts in the mouth, revealing the tender crab meat inside, that a delicious feeling slowly spreads. .

"Bah, bah, bah!" Wang Xiang began to chew.

At the beginning, I chewed the crab meat and got a second fusion in my mouth. The spiciness has a fragrance that cannot be ignored, and the crab meat has a fresh and sweet feeling. For a moment, I really responded to Zhang Dai’s saying about crab meat. It has all five flavors without the need for salt and vinegar, and Wang Xiang’s mouth is left with one wave after another.

This spicy crab meat is so overbearing that it directly takes over all the taste buds in the mouth, making it dizzying.

"Hiss, wonderful, delicious." Wang Xiang couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't know this Dungeness crab could be so delicious." Bai Xiaoxiao also nodded.

No, Bai Xiaoxiao is the king of seafood. He has never eaten any good seafood, but the Dungeness crab made by Yuan Zhou made him think that the Dungeness crabs he had eaten before were probably fake Dungeness crabs.

"It has the tenderness of lake crabs and the flexibility of sea crabs. The meat of this Dungeness crab is smooth, tender and plump with the aroma of crab roe, which is really good." Zhang Yan also said: "I don't know how the ingredients are processed."

"It's just too little." Zhang Yan then added.

"It's not my fault. You've all seen the size of my crab." Bai Xiaoxiao was still confused, but he still clarified to himself.

Only then did a few people look at the plate with only the crab shell left. The crab shell was bigger than an adult man's fist, and it was indeed not small.

The meat removed from such a big crab must be at least a pound.

And just now, there were only crab shells left on the plates that several people had eaten.

"Did we eat so much crab meat?" Several people couldn't help but ask the same question.

Then several people thought of an explanation for themselves: "Chef Yuan must have cooked too little. Such a little is not enough for four adult men. After all, we are in our prime, so it is normal to eat more."

Yes, these four people completely forgot that they had already eaten six courses.

"Ahem, the next dish is rolling crab balls." Zhou Shijie made a fist with his hand and coughed lightly.

"Yes, it's time for the last one." Zhang Yan nodded and stopped worrying about not having enough to eat. Business was important.

"Yeah." Wang Xiang thought about going to Yuanzhou's shop to fill his empty stomach after the game, so he didn't hesitate.

"Fortunately, I heard that Chef Yuan opened a restaurant after the competition. He is really dedicated." Wang Xiang felt happy and emotional.

He couldn't remember at all that when he heard that Yuan Zhou was opening a shop even after finishing the job, he thought that Yuan Zhou was trying to show off his strength and disrespected the competition. After all, cooking is not an easy job, let alone a cooking skill that requires mental effort. Contest.

"I don't know when I can get the King Crab. I should be able to eat it by myself." Bai Xiaoxiao thought about the sweet taste in his mouth and came up with the idea of ​​​​the King Crab that will be auctioned every year.

As a seafood king, Bai Xiaoxiao knows that every year when Dungeness crabs are on the market, king crabs are selected and auctioned. Last year's king crabs weighed five pounds and two taels.

"It's your turn, Chef Zuo," Chef Li reminded.

"Yes." Chef Zuo stared at the judges' table with a serious face.

"It's definitely no problem. We used chicken and goose stock to temper the fishy smell and roughness of the crab." Ao Pi said.

The presentation of the rolling crab balls is to remove the crab meat and make small pearl-like balls around the golden-red crab shell. They are poured with red soup and dotted with peach petals-like duck tongue on the edge. Use for seasoning and decoration.

There is also a complete crab carved from a carrot, one large and one small echoing each other on the side.

It's like peach petals falling on pearls, and the two crabs on the side are playing in such a beautiful scene.

Judging from the appearance, this is a very good dish. Yuan Zhou's presentation is simple, clear and artistic, while this dish is magnificent and beautiful. From the presentation point of view, the two main dishes are almost the same.

After all, it is two experienced chefs working together, so they still have some skills.

"One for each person," Zhou Shijie said.

As soon as they finished speaking, several people started to pick up the food with their chopsticks.

The crab balls simmered in chicken and goose stock are topped with a spicy and spicy sauce, giving the dish a distinct and novel texture.

Moreover, the chicken and goose stock suppresses the overly greasy feeling caused by too much crab meat, and the spicy taste enriches the taste.

When the duck tongue is eaten with crab balls, it has a little more chewiness, which is an interesting experience.

The premise is that this dish is not comparable to the crab dumplings made by Yuan Zhou.

Upon comparison, the judges had the following dialogue.

"Yeah, not bad." Wang Xiang said pertinently.

"Not bad." Bai Xiaoxiao was a little absent-minded, thinking about King Crab.

After everyone had finished tasting, Zhou Shijie said, "Since all the dishes are finished, let's go back to our seats and prepare to show off our scores."

"Okay." Zhang Yan nodded, and then started to return to the judges' seat one step behind Zhou Shijie.

"The judges have begun to return to the judging seats. It seems that the judges have already got their scores." The host said in a high voice.

"Then let's take a five-minute break, and the scores of both sides will be announced immediately after five minutes." After the host finished speaking, he first stepped down and prepared to take a break to drink some water.

After all, it is very tiring to be a host who has no sense of presence and has to be present all the time.

"Phew, we can finally take a break." Someone from the Seafood Alliance let out a small sigh of relief.

"No, I'm still quite nervous." Almost all the people talking and chatting behind were the second chefs brought by the Seafood Alliance.

"I'm afraid that the demonstration store will change owners in five minutes." Chef Li looked at the judges' table with determination, especially Bai Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiang, who had their eyes closed and quiet.

"It seems we are settled." Ao Pi was excited when he thought that Yuan Zhou would apologize to him.

It felt like holding a girl's hand for the first time, exciting and impulsive.

"What do you think?" Chef Zuo saw that Chef Li and Ao Pi seemed to be trapped in a bright future, and couldn't help but ask Liu Jie beside him.

"I don't know, but I don't know the score of my squid." Liu Jie was always worried about the fact that his squid was not eaten.

Chef Zuo didn't ask any more questions and just looked up at Yuan Zhou.

"Can we win?" Chef Zuo couldn't help but ask himself.

Both the red and blue parties were waiting for the results, and Zhou Shijie and others would whisper from time to time. In the second half of the five minutes, the discussion between the four became slightly more intense.

Chef Li thought to himself that Yuan Zhou was still capable. The judges had discussed it for so long, which proved that the gap was not big. If you think about it, you will know that if the gap is big, the results will be available in minutes, so there is no need to do this.

Think about it, Yuan Zhou can cook well in the seafood field that he is not good at, let alone the dishes he is good at.

"Fortunately, I chose seafood. If it were other cuisines, it would be too confusing." Chef Li said proudly.

Just as Chef Li's mind was spinning, five minutes had passed and the judges' discussion had stopped.

"Okay, five minutes have passed. I guess the judges have already got the results, so now we will start to announce the scores." The host popped up at the right time to start the atmosphere lively.

"Can we reveal the scores now?" the host asked the chief judges Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan.

"Okay." It was Zhou Shijie who answered this time.

"Okay, let's start with the first dish, Spicy Pipi Shrimp. Please rate Chef Li's dish from the Seafood Alliance." This time when the host asked for the score, he started with the Seafood Alliance.
