Chapter 68: The Gap
"Now that it's been said, the game will start now, please go to the restaurant and wait patiently!"
Chen Xiu said lightly.
"Good!"
Liu Rong, as well as the cadres brought by Liu Hao, all walked out of the kitchen one after another, leaving Liu Hao's assistant inside to help Liu Hao live broadcast.
"Bald head, chicken!"
Chen Xiu screamed again, and then the bald head Qiang went out from the back of the kitchen, and when he came in, he was still carrying two live chickens in his hands.
"Boss!"
"This is the ingredient in our store, so let's choose one first!"
Chen Xiu said.
"Little brother is so confident!"
Liu Hao's assistant Ming laughed!
In fact, he was ridiculing Chen Xiu for being too arrogant.
"Haohao, since this little brother is so polite, you should choose one first!"
The assistant said.
The other party sent it to the door cheaply, don't take advantage of it!
And Chen Xiu just smiled in his heart, no matter what the link was, Liu Hao was given priority, and if he lost later, it would be difficult for him to step down.
Such a disgusting person should be punished.
Two chickens, about the same size.
And the vitality is about the same.
It's the same with food!
Therefore, the difference in the dishes made is very small.
Where does Liu Hao know how to choose ingredients?
He just waits for people to deliver frozen ingredients to his door on weekdays, so he chooses one at random.
"Good!"
Chen Xiudao:
"Bald head, you and they should go out too, and then we will leave this place to ourselves!"
"Okay, boss!"
Bald Qiang left the kitchen with his brothers.
Now there are three people in the kitchen.
Chen Xiu, Liu Hao, and his assistant Liu Hao helped with the live broadcast on the side.
"There are two sides of the stove, you can also choose first!"
Chen Xiu said again.
"Then you're welcome!"
Liu Hao began to check one by one, one by one, including boilers and pans, and the result was that there was no problem on both sides.
"There is no damage on either side, I'll just pick one side, I'll choose the front!"
"Then the game will be fine from now on!"
"No problem!"
"Okay, let's get started!"
The competition has officially begun.
The first step is to kill the chicken and pluck the feathers!
There is no difficulty, most people will do it, it is nothing more than cutting the throat, then scalding it with hot water, plucking the feathers, and then cleaning the chicken belly.
The second step is to cook the chicken, which is a difficult point, and you need to control the heat.
The chicken should not be cooked too old or undercooked, and the fishy smell of the chicken should be removed.
The third step is to cut the chicken.
This is a great test of knife skills, and it is necessary to ensure the right thickness, so that the flavor of the sauce can be perfectly integrated into it, and the meat must not be cut into pieces!
The fourth step is the sauce problem.
This is also a difficult point, to ensure that the sauce tastes good, but also to ensure that it is mixed in the chicken, can be quickly blended, and the taste is not reduced, and at the same time, it must complement and integrate with the taste of the chicken itself, so as to enhance the taste of people.
After all, it is a palace dish, and it used to be eaten by the big names in the palace.
The taste has to be perfect.
Otherwise, you will be beheaded.
Moreover, this is also one of the top ten famous dishes of the state banquet.
As you can imagine, this can be difficult.
This series of steps is not difficult for Chen Xiu.
He picked up the knife and put it on, very familiar and easy.
As long as you have a normal heart, there will never be any abnormal performance.
On the contrary, Liu Hao is in a bad state.
Because, the two are back to back, there is a mutual influence, and the spirit of both people needs to be highly concentrated, which is a test of a person's concentration!
If you don't have enough concentration, then the difference in the dishes you make will come out.
This is not a big problem for Chen Xiu.
He's like no one!
For Liu Hao, the problem is not a little bit.
Usually he cooks, he is at home alone, the environment is very quiet, and there will be no competition with someone, so he can also maintain a normal heart.
But, now, no.
One is the mutual influence, which will constantly distract him!
Second, because there are competitors, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of tension and pressure in his heart.
Chen Xiu was very calm, even if he was busy in front and behind the stove, there was only a shallow layer of sweat on his forehead, and even his breathing remained unchanged.
And Liu Hao, that's far behind, the beads of sweat on his forehead are constantly rolling down, and his hand stopped twice halfway.
That's how the gap came out.
And the assistant who helped with the live broadcast was an outsider.
The difference between these two people, he saw it in his eyes, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, Liu Hao went on like this, he was afraid that a complete dish would not be able to make it!
Looking at Chen Xiu, he is as good as a stream.
Fortunately, Liu Hao quickly regained a little bit of state, which made his assistant breathe a sigh of relief, as long as Liu Hao found his state, then his chances of winning are still very big.
He thought to himself, Chen Xiu is not very old.
I don't think I even have studied a professional chef course.
How can his perseverance be as strong as Liu Hao's? He should have been pretending to be calm, but in fact, he should be panicked in his heart now.
With such a mentality, the assistant secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Minutes and seconds passed.
From the killing of the chicken to the end, the time spent on this dish is more than an hour!
Chen Xiu ended perfectly, and Liu Hao also ended unhurriedly.
At the same time, the two of them brought their prepared dishes outside.
When Liu Hao's fans saw him come out of the kitchen, they all came over with anticipation.
"Fans and friends, Haohao's famous Cantonese dish of white-cut chicken was finally completed after more than an hour, and the white-cut chicken of the restaurant owner has also been completed.
The assistant said to the camera.
"Wait!"
At this time, Liu Rong stood up.
She continued:
"It's not fair, let his fans taste it, who knows if his fans will be biased or charge money, deliberately saying that what he makes is delicious?"
"Girl, you haven't invited professionals to referee here, who else can you find besides letting them taste it?"
The assistant said with an expression on his face:
"If you think it's unfair, why don't you come up with a relatively fair idea?"
Let Liu Hao's fans try it, and most of the final results will be biased towards Liu Hao, so that even if Liu Hao does poorly, the character will not collapse.
That's what he did.
"The pro is coming!"
At this moment, a voice that Chen Xiu was familiar with suddenly came from outside the door.
Everyone's eyes quickly focused on the past.
The person who came was none other than Zhong Liang.
At this time, he was still holding an old man with a cane, who looked to be in his seventies, except that it was not easy to walk on one leg, the whole person looked red, full of energy, and a bit of burly.
This old man is Zhong Liang's father-in-law.
As the saying goes, the father-in-law and son-in-law are natural rivals.
That's true.
Since Zhong Liang married his wife, his father-in-law has never given him a good look.
Zhong Liang thought about it, looking for an opportunity to curry favor with him and resolve the contradiction between the old man and his son-in-law.
But his father-in-law loves food and has long eaten all the food in the world.
He didn't have a chance at all, but fortunately, he met Chen Xiu at this time.
That table of palace dishes made him think of a way.
So, he called his father-in-law overnight and asked him to come over and invite him to eat palace dishes.
At first, his father-in-law didn't buy it, and he almost knelt down in the WeChat video after his good words, so he agreed to come over.
As soon as he came over, he took his father-in-law to Chen Xiu's side.
Because Chen Xiu said before that someone wants to kick the gym at noon today, and a fair referee is needed.
And his father-in-law, Cheng Baliang, is just qualified for this role, because he is in Liangzhou, and he also has a name called Poisonous Tongue.
Not to mention the famous chefs in Liangzhou, even in the entire Celestial Empire, he has eaten the dishes of those famous chefs, and after eating their dishes, he is very picky eater, so he has a poisonous nickname.
"Isn't this the old man with a poisonous tongue?"
"Yes, old man with a poisonous tongue, why did you come here?"
"Could it be that you came here to taste our family's Haohao's white cut**?"
......
Cheng Baliang is a celebrity in Liangzhou.
He is often a guest on various food shows and a judge.
So a lot of people know him.
Even this old man is still the idol of many people.
Because he can be regarded as having eaten all over the famous mountains and rivers in the real sense.
