Chapter 1392

Wang Xiaoming also posted the news on Weibo, saying that Haibawang was participating in the competition and could taste many delicacies for free. The diners were shocked and expressed their intention to come to taste the delicacies. Many gourmets also recommended themselves to be judges.

The food critic who had helped him promote Buddha Jumps Over the Wall volunteered to be an expert judge. How could Wang Xiaoming disagree? This was exactly the purpose of his announcement.

Although it was the first time to hold such an event, Mei Ruyu's team was still very capable. They quickly completed all the preliminary preparations, and also attracted the local government to pay attention to the matter, and enthusiastically held the "welcome event". The "Xu Cup" traditional food competition has been launched.

The theme of this competition is traditional food, so the items are also familiar to everyone: oyster bake, roasted sweet potato cake, beef balls, fish balls, spring cakes, kueh juice, kueh products, etc. The competition is divided into individual competition and team competition. The individual competition is divided into Participants can participate in the name of an individual, and team competitions can participate in the name of an organization. Registrations for individual and team competitions cannot be repeated. The top three will be determined in each competition. The bonuses for individual competitions are 2,000, 1,000, and 300 yuan respectively, and the bonuses for team competitions are 500 yuan. One thousand, two thousand, eight hundred yuan, the team award will finally participate in a comprehensive evaluation to determine an overall champion with a bonus of 50,000 yuan.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward. In one week, more than 200 people signed up, but not many people signed up for the team competition. There were only more than 20 people in total. Probably not many stores were willing to risk their store's reputation. .

This is also in line with the organizer's intention. Anyway, Haibawang has signed up for every event. If others don't come, he will just win all the awards. When the time comes, he will publicize it in the media and Haibawang's reputation will be there.

Zhong Yanhong made full use of his personal connections. Television stations, newspapers, and websites in cities and counties all sent invitations to the media for interviews and reports.

Mei Ruyu also sent an invitation to Zhao Liangyi from the food column team, asking him to be a judge.

The column team happened to be recording a program in the next county at that time. When they heard about this, they just liked it and agreed to come and have a look.

The competition was held on Saturday, and the square of Yingxu Hotel was crowded with people, all of whom were contestants and people who came to watch the excitement.

A stage was set up in front of the square, a tent was set up in front of the stage, tables and cooking utensils were set up, and the competitions were carried out in order, with the team competition and the individual competition taking place at the same time. The first competition item is the most familiar snack oyster branding. Wang Xiaoming attended the competition on behalf of Haibawang. Yang Ming refused to show his face, and even Wang Xiaoming could not persuade him to participate.

Zhong Yanhong went to persuade him anxiously: "If Wang Xiaoming loses, it will be the Haibawang's sign that will be smashed!"

Yang Ming didn't take it seriously: "Hai Ba Wang belongs to Wang Xiaoming. If his sign is smashed, it means he is not good at learning. If he loses, he will lose."

"Aren't you afraid that he will be embarrassed?" Zhong Yanhong asked.

Yang Ming said: "If he can't handle it, I will naturally take action. But I think there may not be this opportunity. He is quite knowledgeable about your local snacks."

In preparation for the competition, Wang Xiaoming and Yang Ming also did a lot of homework during this period and studied the entries many times. With the help of their assistant Zhao Xiaoyang, there should be no mistakes.

Zhong Yanhong felt relieved after hearing what he said.

Wang Xiaoming has been making oyster bake since he was a child. He has been doing it for many years. It was not until Yang Ming came that frying oyster bake did not become his main business. However, oyster bake still has a place on Haibawang's menu. As long as someone orders oyster bake, he will do it. It will always be Wang Xiaoming. So there was no way he could lose this first game.

Each game has a time limit. Anyone who exceeds the time will be deemed to have given up and will be disqualified. After finishing, it was sent to the judging table for the judges to taste it. Six expert judges and 40 public judges would give scores after eating. The expert judges each hold ten points, and the public judges each hold one point, for a total of one hundred points, and the one with the highest score wins.

Since there is no order requirement, the first to finish is the first to submit. Wang Xiaoming is the first to finish and go on stage. According to any competition, the first one to appear will always suffer because the judges will give lower scores, but Yang Ming thinks that the food competition This may not necessarily be the case. At this time, everyone has an empty stomach and there is no other taste in their mouths. The first bite can arouse all the tasters of the taster, so the effect is much better than the last one, because after eating, When your stomach is full and your sense of taste is covered by other flavors, it is difficult to truly taste the true taste of food.

When Wang Xiaoming came on stage, people who had been waiting for half a morning finally saw hope. Everyone's eyes lit up when they looked at the golden and fragrant oysters on his plate, and they all picked up their chopsticks in unison. Wang Xiaoming put the oysters he had made on the table and let the judges taste them one by one.

The expert judges gave it a high score of fifty-six points, and the public judges also gave it a high score of thirty-eight points. Among the expert reviewers, the only person who gave Wang Xiaoming an eight-point score was Zhao Liangyi, a screenwriter of the food column team. When commenting, he started from the healthiness of oyster rolls and said that oyster rolls are animal fried foods that are too greasy and are not considered a healthy diet. One point will be deducted, and another point will be deducted for the raw materials of the oysters, because this is not the best season for eating oysters, and the baked oysters are not delicious enough.

What Zhao Liangyi said is not unreasonable, but this is not considered Wang Xiaoming's mistake, but an objective fact. It can be seen from this that this guy is an extremely picky and strict guy. Sure enough, for the oyster brand that came later, his score never exceeded six points. It was either a problem with the heat or a technical problem. He was simply a nitpicking expert. It was precisely because of his pickiness that Wang Xiaoming won the first place.

Zhang Yiwei, who had been away watching the game, ran back to tell Yang Ming the good news. Yang Ming's face said lightly: "Go and do your own business."

Zhang Yiwei said: "Master, everyone is eating for free outside. I am not optimistic about our business today."

"You take care of yourself and do your part." Yang Ming said with a straight face.

Wang Xiaoming won the first prize in one fell swoop. After taking the first place in oyster bake, he started making spring cakes again. Spring cakes, also known as spring rolls, are also one of the common snacks in local streets and alleys. Roll the flour into a thin crust, grind the mung beans in a stone mill, peel them, soak them in water, wash them, steam them, dry them, and mix them with shrimp meat and Shredded mushrooms, minced garlic, monosodium glutamate, fish sauce and other seasonings are used as fillings. Pork is cut into strips and marinated with cooking wine, refined salt, light soy sauce, etc. Take a half sheet of dough and half a sheet as the base, put the fillings on it, and then marinate it. The prepared pork strips are rolled into long strips, the dough is battered, and fried in mature peanut oil until golden brown, which is the spring pancake that everyone is familiar with.
