Chapter 41: Golden Fried Rice
After Chen Liran finished talking to the people over there, the middle-aged man surnamed Qiu looked at Tang Wu and said with a smile, "Little girl, what are you going to cook?"

Before Tang Wu could answer, the chef of Han Jiangxue next to him snorted secretly, looked up and down at this little girl who didn't seem to know the height of the sky, twisted out a bitter gourd face that worried about the country and the people, and pretended to sigh: "Mr. Qiu, you said that the boss of this road will not screen the people who participate in this competition, I heard that you stay here for a week, right? There are always some people who can fry an egg and brag that they can cook, you are tired!"
Everyone present knew that there was something in Chef Yang's words, and it was clear that the little girl was squeezing others, but everyone had been in the society and was silent.
Chen Liran couldn't see it, and simply sprayed two words in a flat tone: "Hehe!" Chen Liran's two laughs followed the end of Chef Yang's words, which made him feel very uncomfortable when he listened, and his face suddenly darkened.
This dark turbulence made everyone feel that the smell of gunpowder was heavy for a while-there were more chefs present, and the chef of Han Jiangxue naturally couldn't afford to offend, and they all had the heart to cling to it, and they all echoed it-"Isn't it, there are a lot of loopholes these days, and I always think that I can be a beautiful chef if I look beautiful." "Don't mind, young people only have to be frustrated to grow up, it's good to let people try, otherwise how can they grow?"
Tang Wu listened with a smile all the time, his expression was generous and natural, Mr. Qiu looked at it, but felt that this little girl was not ordinary, just this bearing, it was definitely not a thing in the pool.
Chen Liran couldn't see it, and said to the two female chefs: "These two are good enough, as if they are ugly because people robbed you of your beauty." Have you ever heard of beautiful food? Just two of you, it's still suitable for staying in the back kitchen. β
One of them was about to fight back, but the other immediately pulled the man and whispered, "The editor-in-chief of the city's food magazine, I can't afford to offend, don't make a noise." β
The man closed his mouth in a huff, and his eyes looked at Tang Wu with a little more hostility.
Mr. Qiu is a person who is used to seeing wind and waves, and it is not uncommon for you to come and go with flying knives, many chefs are not very good-tempered, and the ironic ones are a little more educated, and some even come up directly to scold.
These chefs who can cook two dishes have been living in the kitchen for a long time, and all their subordinates are used for their own gas, and after a long time, they have naturally developed a stinky temper that is above the top.
It's just that this little girl's reaction adds a bit of interest to the farce that is being staged everywhere at this time - she doesn't have any angry look on her face, and it stands to reason that she can't calm down when she is ridiculed like this, either like Chen Liran sneering at her lips, or scolding back angrily. And this little girl doesn't seem to care, just like an adult who listens to a child scolding the street.
He couldn't help but ask, "This little girl, aren't you angry when they say that about you?"
Then he looked at this beautiful girl and smiled indifferently, the butterfly-like eyelashes gently went up and down, and when he looked up, his eyes were clear, and his plump lips were slightly open--"Only those who have no ability are angry because of people's ridicule, and those who have real talent don't mind this ignorant remark." β
Mr. Qiu burst out laughing, clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Then let's see your real kung fu! Please report the name of the dish!"
Tang Wu glanced at the three chefs you sang with me just now, and a naughty smile appeared on his lips: "Golden fried rice." β
Mr. Qiu smiled even more happily, he just felt that this little girl lacked heart, and it was not until this moment that he understood this little girl's little girl's thoughts-I don't scold you shrew, but I won't let you scold in vain!
Mr. Qiu secretly applauded in his heart, Chen Liran admired Tang Wu even more, and he was still able to change in the face of so many chefs, this little girl was really atmospheric!
The faces of those chefs were like the bottom of the pot, especially Chef Yang, whose face was like eight treasure rice, red, orange, yellow, green, and green were all turned.
Isn't the golden fried rice just egg fried rice! This girl is turning around the corner and sarcastically saying that she can only fry eggs! But he is not afraid, it is not so easy to fry this golden fried rice to be full of color and flavor!
Mr. Qiu made a gesture of please, Tang Wu bowed slightly, walked out, and stood in front of the three stoves.
Zhuang Shize, Mr. Lin and Secretary Ding all squeezed to the front of the crowd just now, and the crowd that was buzzing just now quieted down, and the three of them were puzzled for a moment, followed everyone's line of sight, and saw Tang Wu standing in front of the stove with a calm and calm face.
Zhuang Shize smiled knowingly and pulled Mr. Lalin's sleeve: "Uncle, look there." β
Mr. Lin followed his nephew's line of sight, and saw Tang Wu who was picking materials, became interested, and said to the secretary next to him, "Xiaoding, look at the stove." β
Secretary Ding saw that it was the little girl, and he was immediately interested.
Although the stove was surrounded in the center of the crowd, it was still a certain distance away from the crowd, which was arranged for safety reasons and to allow the contestants to concentrate without being disturbed.
Tang Wu secretly opened the recipe, first took a basket, threw a few radishes and bundles of vegetables into it, and then quickly bought ingredients from the "recipe" by arranging his hair.
She clicked on one of the green onions.
Regular chives: 1 tbbon per bundle
Premium chives: 50 coins/bundle
Fine leaves, soft and fragrant, slightly spicy hot pot, essential natural chives: 100 soup coins/bundle
Click on the eggs again.
Ordinary eggs: 1 coin per egg
Premium Eggs: 50 Pounds per Egg
Farmhouse chicken skin powder, flawless, fresh, nutritious, and nutritious head nest eggs: 100 soup coins/piece
Tang Wu pointed to the one with the longest name and bought a bundle of green onions and four eggs, for a total of five hundred soup coins, that is, five soft sister coins.
As soon as she finished shopping, she felt that the basket in her hand had fallen, and as she expected, the "recipe" identified the nearest container for vegetables and put the ingredients inside.
And the most intimate and admirable point of the "recipe" is that the ingredients bought from it can always be sent in the most hidden way, and others can't detect it.
Tang Wu had just thrown some vegetables into the basket in her hand, and now she lifted the bundle of lettuce to see that sure enough, there was a bundle of green onions and four eggs lying quietly inside, so she walked to the chives on the table with confidence, and also picked a small bundle and put it in, and picked one egg, and then put the radish and lettuce back in their place.
Chef Yang looked at Tang Wu's pickled dishes, and snorted disapprovingly: "Pretend." β
Mr. Qiu saw Tang Wu pour a glass of white wine into the cup and insert a pair of chopsticks into it, so he asked the chef next to him curiously: "What does this little girl want wine for?"
The chef next to him vaguely guessed what Tang Wu wanted to do, and they were a little surprised at this moment, so they completely focused on Tang Wu and didn't pay attention to Mr. Qiu's question.
A deep voice said, "This little girl seems to have two hands, and you should look at them carefully." β
Mr. Qiu said, his expression suddenly changed, and he stood up and said, "When did Mr. Lu come?" β
The cook, who was waiting in the room for the final result, turned back in astonishmentβan old man in his fifties, with a few strands of silver hair, who was a little thin and thin, but whose eyes were sharp and shining, and which made people feel awe.
This person is the landlord of this small three-story building, and he is also the boss of the restaurant group "Gluttony" in Jiangcheng that can be compared to Hanjiangxue.
He waved his hand: "I've been sitting on the second floor for a long time, and I've tasted everyone's dishes." β
Mr. Qiu was silent for a moment, he understood Mr. Lu's personality, and he had heard the quarrel that everyone had just heard.
Mr. Lu has always disliked arrogant villains, he started from scratch back then, and was appreciated by several big bosses because of his modest and not arrogant character, so he gave him funding, and he came to this day step by step.
When he was young, he was not less popular with this kind of people, so he especially likes people who have the ability and are not proud, as the so-called full pot does not sound half a pot jingle, and he also hates people who have a little ability to suppress others everywhere.
Mr. Qiu glanced at Chef Yang and sighed silently - just now he actually thought that Chef Yang's garlic white meat was good, at least the ordinary ingredients were cooked deliciously, but now it seems that no matter how capable he is, he can't pass Mr. Lu's level.
Tang Wu here didn't know that the real principal had appeared this time, anyway, it wasn't much difference for her, she took two bowls of white rice, these two bowls of white rice were overnight meals, just now she asked the aunt who was in charge of preparing the ingredients, she originally wanted to take the rice and steam it herself, and the steamed rice was actually okay.
The aunt heard what Chef Yang said just now, and immediately scooped two bowls of rice out of the pot next to her, and said with a loving smile: "Little girl, do you want to make egg fried rice?
Tang Wu sincerely thanked her aunt and took the two bowls of rice.
Aunt gestured her fist at Tang Wu: "Come on!"
Tang Wu also gestured his fist at the aunt, making the aunt laugh happily all the time.
Overnight rice will also clump, Tang Wu first prepared a basin of cold boiled water, poured the rice into a large colander, soaked in cold boiled water and soaked a few times, the rice was quickly soaked to pieces.
Seeing that it was about the same, Tang Wu turned the stove on fire with one hand, and the rice water in the big colander was almost controlled, no dripping, she hung the big colander above the stove, and the water on the surface of the rice quickly evaporated.
Then she poured the rice into a saucer, and when the shell cracked, she tilted the egg slightly, and the white flowed out of the crack, and finally she poured the yolk into another clean bowl.
After knocking five eggs, she cut the green onions, cut them into pieces and sprinkled them into the eggs, and then poured the rice into the yolks in a large bowl.
Chef Yang smiled secretly in his heart: Add egg liquid now, unless the spicy taste is heavy and there are many ingredients, otherwise the fishy smell of eggs will definitely choke.
Chef Yang didn't feel complacent for long, because he saw Tang Wu mix the rice with chopsticks that had been soaked in white wine just now - the golden color of the egg yolk quickly melted into the white rice grains, and soon the whole plate of rice was like a grain of gold, with an attractive color.
This is to remove the fishy eggs, and instead of pouring the wine directly, use the chopsticks that have soaked in the wine to mix, there is no smell of wine, it is an excellent secret technique to remove the fish!
He couldn't help but change his face, and Mr. Lu motioned to Mr. Qiu, who suddenly gave a thumbs up.
After mixing the rice, the soup was put on the wok, and the oil was added to the pot when it was a little hot, and the oil had not yet smoked, and she probed directly above the pot with one hanging hand.
Just when everyone was expecting her to pour the mixed rice into the stir-fry, she picked up the pot and poured out the oil in the pot, and re-poured the cold oil a few times, and then quickly poured the rice into the pot.
After a while, the onlookers smelled the aroma of eggs - this egg fragrance was not only like the smell of scrambled eggs, but also like the fragrance of fried egg cakes, one after another, so that the people who watched couldn't help but sniff and take two steps.
If it hadn't been for the guards, I'm afraid someone would have walked to the pot to see what was going on!
Mr. Lu was in the house, and he also smelled the fragrance of eggs - the fragrance was not greasy, and he straightened up.
At the end of the soup, a handful of salt was added to it, and the egg aroma became more concrete, and even the ordinary white rice was salty and brought out the unique aroma of grains.
The aroma of green onion and white lingered in it, diluting the smell of oil and eggs, and everyone saw the golden rice grains in the pot flying, and the fragrance wafted in, and they all watched quietly, and only faint admiration was heard at the scene.
Finally, Tang Wu took a large round spoon and poked into the pot, leaned the pot slightly in his left hand, and shook it with his right hand, and all the golden rice grains were netted into the spoon.
She put down the pot, took a white square plate in her left hand, stretched it forward, pushed the plate into everyone's sight, and then pressed the spoon on the plate with her right hand, and there was an extra spoonful of golden rice neatly folded in a semicircle on the square plate.
Everyone couldn't help but applaud on the spot and shouted "Good!".
This plate of golden rice was served to the five judges, everyone couldn't wait, and one person put a small spoonful into the bowl - the golden egg is half wrapped in white rice grains, the grains are distinct, bright but not helping, fragrant, the egg is fragrant but not greasy, just smelling it can't help but want to eat a big bite!
Mr. Lu took a bite, only felt that the saltiness was appropriate, just the right fragrance to make the egg fragrance fresh, and did not steal the limelight to make people feel that they had put salt, and the green onion fragrance was evenly melted in it, which complemented each other with the egg fragrance, the rice grains were soft, and there was a little elastic tooth after being soaked in cold water, which was really wonderful!
This egg flavor reminded him of the green onion eggs that his mother fried for him when he was a child, and only added salt and green onions without soy sauce.
He didn't know why, his eyes were hot - there was a taste of home in this golden fried rice!
He put down his chopsticks and gently closed his eyes to savor the aftertaste.
The chefs who were watching on the side smelled the smell just now, and the owner originally thought that there would be fierce competition, but now looking at the unfathomable expression of the principal Mr. Lu, they all felt that they were overly worried - but a plate of well-fried golden fried rice is just a plate of egg fried rice!
The chefs present, including Chef Yang, couldn't help but relax with tense expressions on their faces.
Tang Wu is still calm, this game is definitely important for her. However, there are many chefs with superb cooking skills in the world, and it is normal to lose. She just liked the bunk so much that she thought it was a pity. After a while, Mr. Lu slowly opened his eyes, and everyone's hearts rose again, and they didn't dare to come out, knowing that this was about to announce the result.
Mr. Qiu, a few judges next to him, made a note on the voting form one by one, asked the assistant on the side to make a count, and finally whispered the results in Mr. Lu's ear.
Mr. Lu didn't have a special expression on his face, he walked to the door of the house, took the microphone handed over by the assistant, and said in a loud voice: "In this competition, the chef selected by the five judges with the most votes is" He paused, looked at the soup on the side, and then glanced at Chef Yang, and said, "Chef Yang Chang, from Hanjiangxue." β
