Chapter 146 A bolt from the blue? Lin Xu’s ultimate comeback!(1/3)
The game scene.
After a short rest.
Geng Lishan announced that the Five Powers Tournament is about to begin.
Soon.
The ingredients on the shelves have been updated.
Lin Xu discovered that the green onions, ginger and other ingredients were all wrapped in bags, and there were three pots of cooking oil and pork on top.
“All contestants must choose the ingredients and ingredients they want in turn. They can only choose the same thing each time. In the first round, the first place picks first, in the second round, the second place picks first, and in the third round, the third place picks first. Pick... There are five rounds of selection in total. After the five rounds, use the ingredients you selected to make a dish, no matter the taste."
Only five ingredients can be used?
Everyone stared intently at the ingredients on the shelves.
Thinking about how to choose the right one.
After the game starts.
Lin Xu walked to the shelf and first took a pot of cooking oil.
No matter what dish you make, cooking oil is an essential ingredient.
There are only three barrels of oil on the shelf, so you have to grab it first, otherwise you can only cook oil-free dishes, or look forward to getting pork in the next round and use pig fat to make lard.
Seeing this, Guo Xinghai and Wei Qian behind them also chose cooking oil.
The remaining two contestants took the remaining two pieces of pork into their hands respectively. It was obvious that they also thought of the idea of using pig fat to refine cooking oil.
After the first round of selection.
Guo Xinghai, who placed second in the previous round, started the second round of selection.
He originally wanted to get the ribs, but when he saw that there were only four packets of salt on the shelf, he did not hesitate to take one packet of salt.
When the three people behind Wei and Qian looked at it, they all chose salt.
Lin Xu: "..."
What choice do you want me to make?
Offstage.
Shen Jiayue's heart was in her throat, and she was about to slander the person who asked the question, but it seemed that it was Lele's grandfather who asked the question, so she resisted the urge to complain and asked Xie Baomin, who was sitting not far away. Tao:
"Brother, what should Xu Bao do now? Will he be eliminated?"
No more salt.
Then cooking becomes empty talk.
Xie Baomin was also a little surprised that such a question was asked in the top five competition.
"At this time, we can only make dessert dishes. Fortunately, my junior brother is also very knowledgeable about dessert dishes. The dishes such as Shaqima and almond tofu that I made before are also very good."
But not bad is not bad.
In a gourmet competition, if there are no limited dessert dishes, you will not get high scores if you cook this kind of dish rashly.
After all, salty dishes are the mainstream.
There are too many restrictions on sweetness.
In front of the storage shelf.
Lin Xu also knows that salty dishes are no longer relevant to him.
But as for dessert dishes...
He saw that there was only one bag of white sugar on the shelf, weighing about two or three kilograms, and he immediately picked it up in his hand.
Well, hurry up and take up the sugar, so you won’t have to wait until you can’t even make desserts.
After he got the white sugar.
Regardless of the judging panel or the advisory group, a trace of regret flashed across everyone's face.
Using dessert dishes to compete with savory dishes is undoubtedly a trap.
Many people even began to complain quietly about the person who set the question.
For a food competition, just let people cook and stir-fry. What are you doing with so much trouble?
"Lao Gao, what should we do?"
Lao He from Building 1 took the initiative to ask.
Uncle Gao smiled bitterly:
"What can we do? Just keep doing it. No matter what step you take, it counts. As a child, you should suffer some setbacks. How can it always be smooth sailing?"
But that’s what I said.
In his heart, he still hopes that his apprentice can prove himself through dessert dishes.
Such a high talent.
It would be a shame to stop at the top five!
In the online live broadcast room.
Fans are no longer in the mood to tease.
"Can Boss Lin pass this round of competition with dessert dishes?"
"It's quite surprising. In all the food competitions, there is no precedent for dessert dishes to finally defeat savory dishes."
"What a pity... He is obviously so talented!"
"Yes, I get up at around four o'clock every day and work so hard that I don't forget to shoot a Vlog every other day to teach us how to cook."
"I went to post on Lin Ji's food topic. I hope everyone will cheer for Boss Lin!"
"Come on, big devil, no matter where you are, you are still the food champion in our eyes!"
"Yes, you will always be our food champion!"
"..."
The game scene.
After the second round of selection.
Wei Gan, who placed third, began the third round of selection.
He got a piece of tenderloin.
The last two contestants got beef and chicken wings respectively.
When it was Lin Xu's turn, he glanced at the meat fillings in the meat ingredients, and then took away an old pumpkin on the shelf. This was the only ingredient on the shelf suitable for making desserts.
"This is okay...at least I can make the dish of candied pumpkin without getting zero points."
Xie Baomin said something.
Seeing Guo Weidong looking over again, he raised the middle fingers of both hands angrily.
How can I be in the mood to flirt with you right now?
The selection continues.
Guo Xinghai chose minced meat.
Then the fourth round of selection officially begins.
Lin Xu got the salted duck egg yolk, which gave Shen Jiayue a little comfort.
At least I can make pumpkin baked with egg yolk!
And while waiting for the fifth round of selection.
Lin Xu stood in front of the shelf and thought for a long time before choosing a bag of glutinous rice flour.
"What did he choose glutinous rice flour for? This dish of baked pumpkin with egg yolk does not require glutinous rice flour."
When the elders on the advisory board see the ingredients, they can guess the dishes everyone is going to cook.
They no longer pay attention to Lin Xu.
Instead, he focused on Guo Xinghai, who chose meat fillings and loofah. If I guessed correctly, this 'Mr. Xiao Guo' was probably going to make loofah stuffed with meat.
The five rounds of selection are over.
Everyone stood in front of their respective stoves and started working.
At the chief judges' table.
Geng Lishan looked at Lin Xu apologetically.
He really didn't expect that the competition process he designed would actually harm his confidant.
But that’s it.
To be continued...
