Chapter 385 Cautious Judges
Zhao Xiaojing took out the milk jelly from the refrigerator, cut it lightly with a knife to divide it into cubes, and then slowly opened it. The milk jelly, about one centimeter thick, had been perfectly formed after being soft-frozen and refrigerated.
Zhao Xiaojing tried the thickness of the milk jelly. Although one centimeter was very thin, it was still a little higher than the Adazi noodles when spread on the shaved ice.
The beauty of the shape lies in the details. Zhao Xiaojing carefully scooped away the layer of shaved ice on top of the noodles with a spoon.
There are eight minutes left in the game.
After removing a layer of shaved ice, Zhao Xiaojing scooped out some milk jelly and spread it on top of the flowing adazi noodles, filling the blank area of the shaved ice. At the irregular joints where the water meandered, Zhao Xiaojing also gently cut along the curvature of the water, trying to fit the seams of the milk jelly and the flowing noodles as perfectly as possible.
After putting on a layer of milk jelly, Zhao Xiaojing scooped out the mango pieces on the side with a spoon, and then spread them on top of the flowing noodles in the shape of orange slices, forming a circle that was slightly larger than the orange slices, and then placed orange slices on top to make a glowing sun.
There are six minutes left in the game.
Zhao Xiaojing took out the candied mung beans from the pressure cooker and used a spoon to gently spread out three cloud shapes above the sun.
Then take out a clean food bag, fold it in half three times along the lower left corner, fold the food bag into a cone-shaped tip at the lower left corner, cut a small opening on each side, and then open it.
Made of a simple piping bag and eight-tooth piping nozzle.
Zhao Xiaojing opened a simple piping bag, first clamped the mouth of the flower with a clip, then put the taro paste that had been mixed in advance into it, and then used chopsticks to roll the taro paste to the vicinity of the flower mouth. Finally, she opened the clip and squeezed the taro paste onto the clouds made of mung beans, leaving only a border of mung beans.
The eight-tooth piping nozzle is also a commonly used nozzle for making cookies. The shapes squeezed out are very orderly and layered in beauty. After the taro paste is squeezed on, the flowing feeling of the cloud immediately becomes concrete.
Although the white of the taro paste and the white of the jelly in the background seem a little repetitive due to time constraints, the outline of the honey mung beans and the color scheme that resembles a painting of rivers and mountains below make people feel that the white space is just the right amount of refreshing.
There is one minute left in the game.
Zhao Xiaojing picked up the honey mung beans with chopsticks and carefully adjusted the outline below the cloud, filling in a few missing ones and removing some of the densely packed ones.
"The competition is about to end. Please put down your works and leave the competition area quickly after the staff registers you."
The broadcast sounded again, and Zhao Xiaojing put down the tools in her hands at the same time and looked at her work with satisfaction.
In the jade-white soup bowl, the flowing noodles, which are gradually dyed with green, yellow and white, meander and twist, and the green mountains made of fruits and vegetables stand in layers. The orange sun like the sunset emits a faint mango-colored light, and the taro clouds in the sky are also slowly flowing. And all of this is covered by the white mist gradually emitted by the shaved ice at the bottom, which makes it more elegant and refreshing.
"Hello, please take out your ID card for registration and verification." The staff member immediately came to Zhao Xiaojing, took a picture of Zhao Xiaojing's work with an instrument, showed the photo to Zhao Xiaojing for verification, and then swiped the ID card for registration.
"Okay, go left after you leave the competition area. There is a live broadcast hall at the back door exit. There are live broadcasts of the selections for each competition area. You can watch the judges' votes and wait for the results. It doesn't matter if you don't have time to wait. The selection results will be notified by text message later."
"Okay, thank you. Can I take a picture of my work now?" Zhao Xiaojing asked expectantly as she looked at her work.
This bowl of sweet soup with a pattern of mountains and flowing water is really beautiful. Although she often tries to shape and arrange the dishes in virtual space, it is time-consuming and this is her first time in reality. She wants to take a picture to show the people in the store.
"Yes, the mobile phone signal in the competition area has been blocked, but you can still take photos." The staff nodded, politely made a please gesture, and turned to walk towards the next contestant.
Such a big deal? And they blocked the signal? Were they afraid that the contestants wouldn't know what to do and would check Baidu? Zhao Xiaojing was stunned.
But I immediately understood that this was probably to prevent contestants and judges from cheating, after all, they are all local.
After simply recording a video, the dishes in front of him were taken away by another staff member waiting on the side.
Zhao Xiaojing then noticed that there were only four people left in the entire competition area. Apart from her, there were the noodle player, the green shirt player, and one of the last players who had a full basket of dishes.
Zhao Xiaojing wanted to see what these people were doing, but the staff member pushed the food cart out in a blink of an eye, turned a corner and entered the "No entry for non-staff" area. Zhao Xiaojing followed for two steps but didn't see anything. She turned around with regret and remembered that the staff member had just said that there would be a live broadcast of the selection, so she quickened her pace and walked along the left into the live broadcast hall.
Baitao's route design is quite scientific. The entire semi-final area is in a yard. The front door is for entry only and not exit. Each sub-competition area can only be entered through the competition area hall at the front door after registration. The back door is for exit only and not entry. You can watch the live broadcast of the selection by walking straight along the left route after going out.
There were more people gathered in the live broadcast hall than when I arrived, and there was a lot of noisy discussion and talking, but everyone was standing, gathered at the front of the hall, and the rows of chairs in the back were empty.
Zhao Xiaojing also walked forward, and when she reached the front where the crowd was the largest, she saw that there were five TVs hanging there, each corresponding to the live broadcast of the selection of a competition area, and a group of people were watching them.
The live broadcast of the second competition area was being played on the second TV from the left to the right. When Zhao Xiaojing moved over, she saw the sweet soup she had made placed on the table. A group of judges were watching, and Dazhuang was among them.
The competition areas for the judges and contestants were drawn at the last minute. Zhao Xiaojing was in such a hurry after entering the semi-final venue that she forgot to ask Dazhuang which competition area he was drawn into. She only suddenly remembered it when she saw it on the screen.
However, the competition venue was equipped with a cell phone jammer, so it was useless to remember it earlier. He happened to be in the second competition area, and as he wished, he was able to taste Zhao Xiaojing's work.
"Fruit noodles? The color must be dyed with fruit juice. This is the first time I've seen hand-rolled noodles with fruit."
Amid the constant noise around her, Zhao Xiaojing pricked up her ears to listen to the judges' discussion in the live broadcast room.
"What fruit is blue? This doesn't look like hand-rolled noodles?"
"It's so delicious, it shouldn't be a dark dish. How about you try it first?"
"You first, you first."
Several ordinary judges discussed the issue and blamed each other.
"This is not hand-rolled noodles, nor is it dark cuisine. This is probably sugar soup, but it's made differently from ordinary sugar soup. It's presented on a plate, which is more creative." Da Zhuang said after observing for a while.
