294 Stunning kitchen needles
Lu Luxin, who was standing beside Zhou Dong, widened her eyes and stared blankly at this faint blue sword light.
Even if she often goes in and out of the back kitchen, which is a cycle of life and death, she doesn't want to get blood on her face, so she still keeps a safe enough distance from the duck, but despite this, she can still feel the knife wind blowing in her face.
It is a sword wind that can promote ice and snow, rejuvenate the earth, and sting the spring thunder.
Even if it was just a moment, Lu Luxin's girlish heart was still tickled out of the feeling of 'itching' by this knife wind with pulse spring and infinite affection.
Come on, be happy, there's a lot of time anyway......
This is a kitchen knife.
This is Xiao Zhou's kitchen knife.
This is Xiao Zhou's kitchen knife in the spring.
This is the kitchen knife of the spring of Xiao Zhou, which tickles the heart.
Why is there such a kitchen knife and such a person in this world?
Why is this knife aimed at the duck and not at me?
"Are you stupid or not, Lu Luxin, if this knife comes at you, will you still have your life?"
The truth is this truth, but she has studied knife skills for half her life, and the good yellow flower girl has become the 'big devil' of the famous knife and kitchen in Suzhou Province, how great is the sacrifice?
Her physical and mental interests have long been immersed in knife skills, seeing such a magical spring breeze and gentle knife, how can she not be moved and forget the danger behind this knife?
At this time, Lu Luxin knew that her idea was very stupid, but she still couldn't help but envy the duck.
To be able to die under such a knife, this duck should have no regrets, right?
The duck is happy, it is even laughing.
Ducks laugh very funny, they will bow their heads slightly, squint their little eyes, and their long beaks are half-open and half-closed, making a kind of 'quack, quack' sound, usually only when spring comes, when everything begins to multiply, ducks will be so happy.
Probably to show how happy he was, the duck with his eyes squinted and even wriggled his fat big fart.
Brush!
There is no trace of the knife.
Xiao Zhou's kitchen knife was so sharp that when it gently cut the duck's throat, the duck didn't even feel any pain, and only began to feel a trace of pain when a line of blood slowly appeared on its neck.
While Zhou Dong carried the duck to the blood basin, a strange power began to flow into the duck's body in the fingers that held the root of the duck's wings.
This strange power transformed by consuming appreciation points not only immediately eliminated the last trace of pain of the duck, but also the countless pleasure and beauty factors contained in it jumped, ran, and shouted, like warriors rushing towards freedom, rushing into the duck's body.
When the duck finally passed away, the half-open and half-closed duck's beak finally closed with a hint of peace, and in the whole process of death and death, it felt great joy, great silence, and great relief......
It is difficult for even ordinary human beings to have such an understanding.
"Mida Buddha ......"
Yan Yi, who had been staring at the high-definition camera to watch Zhou Dong deal with the duck, suddenly closed his palms and admired with infinite joy: "This duck must have been cultivated in the previous life, and it is only in this life that he is fortunate to die at the hands of King Zhou Mian!"
Mida Buddha, it's really enviable,
Who would have thought that 'in the past, there was a stick to drink, and now there is a sword from the king of Zhoumian to make the beasts awake', the king of Zhoumian is not a sin, but a great merit!
If this duck has this realization before he dies, then the cause and effect of many lifetimes will be cut off, all kinds of sins will be eliminated, and when he dies, he will be put into a rich and noble family and enjoy the prosperity of the world, O Buddha Buddha......"
This little fat man is crazy, Wang Haibin, who was sitting next to Yan Yi, muttered in his heart.
He is no closer than Lu Luxin to Zhou Dong and the duck, and he is naturally immersive; he is not as close to Yan Yi as being born in Shamen, and his observation point is unique, although he feels that Zhou Dong's knife technique is a little magical, and there is an indescribable weirdness, he still scoffs at Yan Yi's statement.
"The old host of Lingyin Temple was crazy back then, and the apprentices he taught were really the same, this is called having a teacher and having an apprentice!"
The old grandmaster muttered secretly in his heart, but he didn't know that the words 'heart deficiency' had been written on his face.
Draining the duck blood, removing the hair and disemboweling, this kind of work that even the most ordinary water platform workers are very annoying seems to have become an art in the hands of Zhou Dong, under the stunned gaze of the person on the opposite side, Zhou Dong, who cleaned up the duck, held two duck palms in his hands, and his two palms were still as clean as jade, not stained with dust.
"How could he do it so quickly and so perfectly......"
A guy with a habit of cleanliness like Huai Liangren has an almost pathological pursuit of perfection, and he originally thought that he had done enough perfection, but compared to Zhou Dong, it seems that his method of cleaning ducks is not much better than that of the intern chef on the water table.
"Next, it should be to soak the duck paws in hot water and remove the crust? I still don't believe it, can you still make flowers?"
The first difficulty of 'Tiantai Duck Paw' is to remove the hard skin on the surface of the duck paw, otherwise it will be difficult to soak perfectly, even if it is barely soaked, it will also seriously affect the taste and taste.
And to completely remove the crust at the bottom of the duck paw, it is necessary to soak it in hot water, and it is necessary to peel off the skin under high heat.
However, the high temperature will inevitably cause the inner layer of the duck paw to be 'blanched', if it stays for too long, the duck paw will even be scalded to full cooking, even if it will be soaked in the later stage, but in the final cooking process, it will still affect the taste.
Huai Liangren is born in Cantonese cuisine, and this method of handling ingredients at high temperature is his housekeeping ability, but even if he is the kind of skilled and fast operation just now, it cannot completely avoid the duck paw being affected by high heat, even if it is not completely scald, the duck paw is partially burned, it will also affect the finished dish.
Therefore, this process is like a double-edged sword, if you don't do it, you can't do it, and if you do it, it will affect the later cooking process, which is the first pass to distinguish the high level of chefs!
Huai Liangren is now curious, looking forward to it, and a little faintly worried, Lao Zhou's knife skills are so demonic, when it comes to this process to test the chef, there won't be any moths, right?
At this moment, he is not alone, and the experts in the jury are staring at Zhou Dong.
Although the result of this competition will not be finalized until after the dish is ready, this step to remove the crust of the duck paw can basically see the level of the two genius chefs.
"Why can't you boil water yet?"
Seeing that Zhou Dong didn't say hello, and Lu Luxin, who was an assistant, didn't bring boiling water, several old men in the jury were a little strange.
Although this 'ladder duck palm' has been lost for a long time, even Wang Haibin only dares to say that it has restored 'six or seven percent', but the basic operation process can still be guessed.
If you don't take advantage of the fact that the duck's paw has just been cut off and the blood veins have not been completely blocked and stiff, what else are you waiting for?
was anxious for Zhou Dong, but saw him holding two duck paws in one hand and a silver needle from the kitchen in the other.
This needle, seven inches long and about the same thickness as an ordinary acupuncture needle, trembled slightly under the lighting of the stadium lights, as soft as a hair.
Longer than regular acupuncture needles, but softer!
This is not an ordinary kitchen needle, the kitchen needles used to pierce the meat are made of steel, and they are hard enough, but I have never heard of anyone using acupuncture needles as kitchen needles......
What's to be done?
In the suspicious eyes of everyone, Zhou Dong put a duck palm on the palm, put another duck palm on it, and the other hand shook slightly, and the silver needle as soft as a hair was like a dragon swimming in the air, gently folded, and inserted the duck palm on top of it from an incredible angle!
"This ......"
Huai Liangren was dumbfounded, and his worldview almost collapsed.
Out of the demon, I knew that it would be like this, Lao Zhou was out of the demon again!
Removing the crust of duck paws is not an easy task, and all chefs in the world will ignore the effect of hot water on the dishes, because in everyone's opinion, this is the only way.
Who would have thought that Zhou Dong would abandon the accepted method and not prepare to use hot water to scald off the hard skin?
And in the eyes of a person like Huailiangren, Zhou Dong's mind is so delicate that it is outrageous, when dealing with a duck's paw, because he was worried that the other one would freeze his blood because of too much time, he actually held it in the palm of his hand, and used his own temperature to maintain the remaining activity of this duck paw.
In this way, the duck paws stacked on top of it are not only doubly difficult to deal with? And judging by Zhou Dong's meaning, it is actually to use a silver needle to pierce the method to peel off the hard skin of the outer layer of the duck paws!
It's a crazy idea, so that you can avoid the detrimental effects of hot water scalding on duck paws, but can it really be done?
Huai Liangren's throat stirred, and he couldn't help swallowing his mouth and spitting, and he was actually a little nervous for Zhou Dong.
At this moment, he almost forgot that Zhou Dong was his opponent, but he was very much looking forward to Zhou Dong's success, after all, this is a way to break the industry's accepted treatment, and it is the first time that Huaxia Qinxing has opened the world!
I saw that after the silver needle in Zhou Dong's hand pierced the duck's paw, it seemed that he was an old horse who knew his way and had to walk at a high speed, and after a while, the needle poked out from the edge of the connection between the crust and the duck's paw.
Everyone immediately held their breath, stared at the needle with round eyes, the judges are all experts, as long as they see the color of the needle clearly, they can roughly judge whether Zhou Dong is using the needle or not.
If it is just a bluff but the strength is not good, and the silver needle hurts the normal organization of the duck's paw, then this treatment method can be declared a failure, and the judges and the contestants who came to watch the finals can breathe a sigh of relief.
On the contrary, it can be declared that the treatment method that has been recognized by the chef industry for many years is wrong, at least it is relatively low-level, and I am afraid that many people, including grandmasters like Wang Haibin, will not be able to sleep.
Is it that from now on, everyone will not only learn knife skills, carving skills, frying skills, and fire skills, but also learn a needle technique?
But where to study, it doesn't seem right to go to a Chinese medicine school?
It's such a headache, this Zhou Dong too, you said that you are better than a competition, what do you always do to challenge the limits of chefs, isn't it impossible to get along with us?
The silver needle was seven inches long, and even if the crusty shrimp penetrated the duck's paw and poked out the needle, there would still be an inch of the needle's tail left outside, and it was trembling under the light above the stage.
Seeing Zhou Dong bend his index finger and flick it lightly at the needle tail, the beautiful host's eyes were quick, and she had already rushed to Zhou Dong's side with a gust of fragrant wind, and aimed the microphone in her hand at the needle tail that was vibrating violently after being hit by Zhou Dong.
"Buzz—"
The sound of the pin's tail trembling echoed in the sky above the arena, and the contestants and judges were first surprised, and then blank......
"Is this still cooking?"
"It's amazing!"
"Ah, I seem to see a glittering dish coming out of the oven!"
"Get out, what is the golden light, this is called fairy sound!"
Cai Chongjiu suddenly opened a pair of old eyes, staring at Zhou Dong stubbornly, he was too familiar with this acupuncture, he remembered that when he was defeated by the world's god chef in the south of the river, the other party performed this kind of acupuncture!
I still remember that he refused to give up back then, and once asked this god chef what the name of this acupuncture method was? The god chef just smiled and replied to him: "It's amazing, why do you ask its name?"
"Why ask, why ask, this senior has a point, the name of this set of needles is not important at all, the important thing is that it is amazing enough.
So, let's call it 'Amazing Shot'......"
Thinking of this, Cai Chongjiu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, he still thought about it, and finally couldn't help but give this set of needles a name, is this the gap between himself and that senior?
If Zhou Dong told him now that he was taught by Qingxiang Technical School, Cai Chongjiu would definitely run away on the spot, wouldn't this be an insult to his IQ!
"It turns out that Grandpa He is not whimsical, let alone the nonsense of a mentally ill person, this set of acupuncture methods he joked about was really practiced by me in the back kitchen of creation!
But fortunately, it has a creative kitchen, and there is countless times more time than ordinary people can squander, otherwise it is impossible. ”
Zhou Dong looked at the needle tail that was still trembling, and unconsciously smiled on his lips, he still remembered that time when he returned to Chudu Psychiatric Hospital to visit Grandpa He, the old man was holding a bowl of stewed cabbage and glaring at the master of the canteen.
I went over to ask, it turned out that the old man disliked the cabbage and was old, it doesn't matter if the cabbage is old, you won't think about it as a chef?
The master of the canteen is annoyed, you old madman will say nonsense, the dish bought for me is this kind of old cabbage bangzi, do you have a rut if you change it?
Grandpa He sneered slightly, "You are a fool, you will not take a seven-inch silver needle to open up the veins of cabbage? If you get this method, the old cabbage may not be as delicious as the tender cabbage! Boy, my old man is teaching you, and I don't want to say thank you.
The master rolled his eyes, I'm crazy too, what do I care about like an old madman? Zhou Dong also felt that Grandpa He was crazy, and apologized to the master for his old man.
I didn't want to study how to remove the hard skin of the duck paw without affecting the texture of the duck paw, but I had an idea, remembered Grandpa He's words, and practiced it in the back kitchen......
"Maybe even Grandpa He himself can't imagine that I have really practiced this acupuncture, right?"
Zhou Dong thought about it and shook his head: "I really think too much, Grandpa He doesn't know medical skills or cooking, he probably just went crazy and talked a few nonsense that day, I'm afraid even he forgot about it."
Speaking of which, I haven't been to visit Grandpa He for a long time, and when I return to Chudu after this game, it's time to visit his old man, who loves sweets, so I'll make pineapple buns for him to eat when the time comes......"
I was thinking about returning home, and suddenly I heard a burst of agitation from the judges' seat and the audience.
"Isn't it......? This is amazing!"
