Chapter 32: Turning Defeat into Victory
After unhurriedly putting the rolled dough aside, Ruan Ruan looked up at the sky, and finally opened the pot and threw the cakes into it and began to steam.
The Cantonese chef naturally came out of the pot earlier than Ruan Ruan, and the realistic-looking snacks immediately attracted many people.
"One cage costs thirty, why is it so expensive!" A burst of exclamations erupted in the crowd, and the residents of those small towns were shocked when they had never eaten such expensive buns.
"This is shrimp dumplings, and the bread in them is all real shrimp, and that's the price. At first, the Cantonese chef could explain them to people one by one in a good temper, but later he saw that there were still not many people who bought them, so he didn't bother to waste this tongue.
The things he made were sold for 300 people, and some people rushed to ask for them, and this group of uninformed people was still too expensive?
"Let's go to the side and take a look, what smells so good?" Ruan's soft egg cake was also half cooked, and it was being taken out of the pan for the final step of "frying".
Seeing that there were more people around, Ruan Ruan also began to pull up business.
"A loaf of bread costs three dollars, so you can try it. "The price is ten times lower than next to it in an instant, and although it looks like an ordinary cake from the outside, it smells good.
Many people took out the money to buy a card to taste, and they were captured by the delicacy after only one bite.
"It's so delicious, I'm going to buy some and go back, I won't cook at night. Many housewives who came out to buy vegetables bought more than half of Ruan Ruan's good food at once, and the rest of the cakes were also snatched up by some people who got off work.
On the contrary, when the Cantonese chef cooks it, there are a lot of people, but no one buys his things.
He had no choice but to put the steamer back in the pot and reheat it, hoping that when the price would be reduced, he would be able to sell some so as not to lose face.
The shrimp dumplings have a thin skin, and after they come out of the pot again, the filling leaks out, and they don't even look good.
"How can this be, it's because you set the price too low, and people here can't afford to consume my things, so naturally you won. The Cantonese chef smashed the steamer on the table with some annoyance, and shouted unconvincedly, "Do you dare to compare the same dish with me and let them judge which one is delicious?"
Ruan Ruan gently and amiably sold the last wave of cakes, so he nodded indifferently.
"Okay, I can do whatever you want. ”
"Then how about making pineapple and serving it in half an hour?" the Cantonese chef glanced at Ruan Soft defiantly.
She just smiled sweetly and cleaned up the table before she began to wash the pot again for the next dish.
When she was shopping for groceries in the morning, she had observed the people and roadside stalls in the town, most of which were mainly spicy, and the sweet and sour pineapple meat might not be liked by them.
After a little thought, she came up with an idea, and when she picked pineapples, she chose not tropical perfumed pineapples, but a few tender pineapples that were still green.
After peeling and cutting the pineapple into small pieces, Ruan Ruan tried to taste it, and although the flesh was not as sweet as usual, it was unusually crisp because of the tender taste, and there were no hard-to-chew stems.
Except for the taste that is a little astringent, the rest is still good.
She copied the pineapple several times in the brine until all the astringency was removed, and then mixed it into the marinated meat.
Half an hour later, the two of them each served their own dishes.
"Miss Ruan, this pineapple pork dish is the dish I made the most when I was an apprentice, and it would be forgivable if you lost to me. The Cantonese chef said triumphantly.
"Yes, it's not certain who loses. Ruan smiled and untied the lid, and a spicy smell mixed with the fragrance of fruit wafted out.
"Why is it spicy?" The Cantonese chef looked at Ruan Soft's plate in disbelief, only to find that in addition to smelling different, Ruan Soft's meat also seemed to be wrapped in a circle of red sauce, but this red was not the color of tomato sauce.
The program team casually invited a few passers-by to taste it, and then voted for the taste they liked, and Ruan Ruan's side had the most votes.
The Cantonese chef was a little incredulous, he pulled a passer-by and asked, "Why do you all vote for Ruan Ruan? My pineapple cougar meat is authentic, I am a Cantonese chef!"
Passers-by shook their heads disapprovingly: "I don't like to eat pineapple, the sweet and sour taste is weird, or the spicy meat is more in line with my appetite." ”
The reason given by several other people is the same, they are all people who are not spicy or happy, and naturally they are not used to eating authentic Cantonese food.
Needless to say, Ruan Ruan has won again.
"Why is there only Ruan Soft in my eyes, I can also cook, I can also learn, what's so difficult about cooking!" In the kitchen, Shao Yingying was angry at a piece of dough.
"It's not difficult to cook, it's hard to learn how to seduce people. A woman's voice suddenly sounded out of thin air, startling Shao Yingying.
When she saw that it was Xu Ningning, she suddenly became vigilant.
"Why are you here, what did you just hear? ”
"Why don't you care about me here, don't mind, I'm also on your side, I want to drive Ruan Soft's green tea away completely. Xu Ningning took the initiative to stretch out his hand, as if he wanted to show favor to Shao Yingying.
Shao Yingying stretched out her hand in disbelief, but was held by Xu Ningning at once.
"Don't say anything else, you like Xiao Always, with your current identity, no matter how close you get to him, he will only ignore you, do you want to go to him?" Xu Ningning's voice was full of temptation, "I can help you make you a star, and when you are in the limelight, what is Ruan Ruan?"
When Shao Yingying heard her say that she could be a star, her eyes were obviously a little shaken.
"When the time comes, your boss will be Mr. Xiao, you see each other every day, you are still so good-looking, what are you worried about?"
Shao Yingying raised her head with some anticipation, and asked uncertainly, "Can I really do it?"
Xu Ningning said affirmatively: "Of course you can, as long as you help me do something, I promise to take you into the entertainment industry." ”
She walked up to Shao Yingying in a few steps and leaned over to discuss things with her.
Ruan Ruan defeated the Cantonese chef twice today and successfully defended the game, and the program team naturally wanted to hold a celebration banquet for her.
But it wasn't until the dinner was opened that today's special guest was late - it turned out to be Xu Ningning.
Xiao Yunting had seen her before and knew that she was coming, but she didn't expect her to dare to appear on the stage, and immediately stood in front of Ruan Ruan and stared at Xu Ningning with some vigilance.
"Mr. Xiao's eyes look like he wants to kill, I'm here to apologize to Xiao Soft. Xu Ningning sighed leisurely, not looking at Xiao Yunting, his eyes seemed to be really full of guilt.
"If you dare to take a step further, I'm afraid this will be your last announcement. Xiao Yunting threatened impatiently.
"Of course, I don't really blame you. Behind him, Ruan Ruan nodded softly and agreed to reconcile.
