Chapter 290: Provocation

It didn't take long for another piece of bread to be served, and then the steak and red wine were all served, this chef didn't expect the cooking speed to be so fast, some interesting, or because he wanted 6 medium rare, so it was fast?

There are a lot of people ordering Western food here, Ye Qiu didn't believe that there was no queue and he served the food right after, could it be .....

Ye Qiu stared at the steak in front of him, "Interesting, I can see that I am also a freshman of Yuanyue, so I want to invite a fight, in that case..."

Ye Qiu was not polite, he cut off a piece of steak and put it in his mouth, and his eyes suddenly lit up, the taste of this steak was really good, it was already comparable to the work he made casually.

"The beef is fresh and tender and elastic, the condiments are moderate and do not conflict with the taste of the beef itself, the beef is bloody, the heat is also good, the chewing is very chewy, and it is not stuffed with teeth, it is okay, but I still want to provoke me or tender."

Ye Qiu was worried that he had no money to pay for food, but he didn't expect the wronged boss to come to the door by himself.

After calmly eating the entire steak, Ye Qiu snapped his fingers, and a waiter came over and said with a smile, "I don't know if there's anything I can help you, sir?"

"Well, I want to find you the chef who makes this steak, I don't know if I can recommend it?" Ye Qiu wiped his mouth and replied with an eyebrow.

"Looking for a chef? I don't know if you have anything to do, I can convey it on my behalf."

"No, no, you can't convey it, so let's help me and this chef, it's just like this steak, it's far worse than what I made, it's not delicious, you let him come out to see me, I don't think he will refuse"

The waiter looked at the plate that had been completely empty, this Nima is not delicious, you eat so cleanly!

It's just that after all, he is a waiter in a big hotel, and the service to customers is still very good, he nodded and immediately walked into the inner hall, and it didn't take long for a blonde boy to follow the waiter out.

"You're looking for me?"

"Yes and no, you are actually looking for me, right?"

Takmi didn't answer, "You're a freshman?"

"Of course" Ye Qiu said lightly, if he met a student of Yuanyue in the past, he would be more proud, Yuanyue is one of the best food schools in the world after all, it is extremely prestigious, and he will be proud of it if he can enter it.

"Looks like you're confident in yourself?"

"Aren't you the same?"

"Also, there is no simple thing to be able to enter the academy, so please do so."

Ye Qiu followed Takmi into the kitchen, the other chefs in the kitchen were still busy, and he had a separate stove, which would not interfere with the other chefs' cooking.

"What do you want to compare with me? It seems that this is a Japanese restaurant, and I still have a little research on Japanese food, okay?"

"No, no, it's not like Japanese food, since you're worthless with my steak, then of course we're comparing steaks, I'd like to see how delicious your steak can be."

"Oh, I see, it seems that you are very unconvinced"

"Brother, I'm done over there"

Just when the two were facing each other, a big fat man came over and interrupted the two words, Ye Qiu was happy when he saw it, isn't this Isami, a guy who will become very handsome when he loses weight, and it is also a verification of the saying that every fat man is a potential stock.

"He's the one you can't cook?"

"Yes is me"

"Oh hehehehe, brother, he looks down on you"

Takmi glared at Isami, "Shut up, you idiot, who the hell are you from"

“..... You're in a good relationship."

"Hmph, don't worry about it, let's start the game"

"Wait" Ye Qiu hurriedly stopped Takmi's actions, "Since we are going to compete, then we must have a lottery head."

Takmi frowned, "What do you want?"

"Is the money for this meal free for me?"

"I can't do this"

"And what are we going to do with the money for the ingredients we try?"

"Of course, we pay for it ourselves"

"Then I won't compare" I'll go, Ye Qiu glanced at Takmi with disdain, where did he come from, he paid for his cooking skills with high-end ingredients in such a high-end meal, and he didn't see that Takmi was very rich, in short, Ye Qiu couldn't afford it.

It's just that just as Ye Qiu was about to leave, the kitchen people were suddenly pushed open, and an old man who could be about fifty or sixty years old came in, and he walked over and stopped Ye Qiu.

"Don't be in a hurry, man, you're a student of the Far Moon Academy?"

"Well, what?" stared at the old man, who didn't seem to be an important person, and didn't have any impression, so he replied casually.

"I'm the manager of this hotel, called the wrong Matsuda Keiji, I just heard that my staff was making trouble in the kitchen, hurry up and take a look, I didn't expect it to be your two students who want to compete, of course this is no problem, I heard what you said just now, it's okay, I'll give you free of the meal money, and the money for the ingredients will also come from our store, but I asked this competition to be carried out outside, and make a promotion for our meal, I don't know if it's okay?"

"This, of course it's no problem, but you're not that kind of restaurant, and a big restaurant still needs to promote this kind of thing?"

"No, no, no, this may be a little different from what you think, in these hotels at the foot of Yuanyue Mountain, each chef's skills are excellent, but they are basically retired from the middle of the far moon, far less than you who have entered the Higher Division, if you can do a publicity for us and let them know that we have students from the Higher Division here to cook for us......"

"Hey, the boss is calculating" If they are all on the same level, he has some advantages in this high-end restaurant, but it is not very obvious, since he wants to open a high-end restaurant, all kinds of expenses are not low, which leads to the price of his meals inside will be much higher than outside, in the case of the same craftsmanship, most people will still choose those cheaper meals to eat.

However, it would be different if Ye Qiu and Takmi, two students of the higher department, made a promotion for him, the level of cooking was much higher than other meals, and it was this kind of high-end hotel, and it was far better than other meals in all aspects, so that this hotel would become popular all of a sudden.

"Well, it's no problem, but I don't know if he has a problem"

Ye Qiu tilted his head and looked at Takmi, who glared back unto be outdone, "Of course it's no problem"

"In this way, there will be a lot more audience, don't be nervous, if you lose the reputation of Yuanyue Academy, I will trouble you."

Ye Qiu didn't say that he was a member of the Discipline Commission, so Takmi was very confused when he heard this.

"It's just a bet, then let's change it, if I win, how about you join my command and become my brother?"

"Then if I win, you will be my brother," Takmi immediately responded.

"No problem, then please"

Ye Qiu didn't ask why Takmi knew that he was a student of Yuanyue Academy, Ye Qiu could think of it, after all, Takmi was in the studio here temporarily, and it seemed that the treatment was much better than that of other chefs, a separate stove, and high-end ingredients specially bought for him, such a configuration could only be explained for one reason.

Takmi is a volunteer here, and the boss wants to work hard to create a good environment for Takmi to stay.

As for why it's a volunteer (the kind that doesn't charge money),It's supposed to make this hotel achieve his purpose.,Now it seems that the purpose is to find some past students of the Far Moon School Park to challenge.。

Soon the hotel was filled with people, who might not be able to eat the food of the two students of Yuanyue Academy, but they were really curious about this high-stakes food showdown.

It's a foodie world, and even smelling it is good.

The boss's action was good, and the stove was ready in less than half an hour, Ye Qiu and Takmi stood alone, and then began to look at the kitchen utensils on the table.

"I don't know what else I need to prepare, I'll find it for you as soon as possible."

Takmi shook his head, "Mine is enough"

Ye Qiu smacked his lips, "If you can, please help me find a blowtorch"

"Blowtorch? oh, okay" blowtorch is also one of the kitchen utensils used for cooking, of course, not the kind of chemical alcohol blowtorch, this blowtorch is generally used for outdoor barbecue ignition, and few people use it directly as a fire source for cooking.

But it's not that there are no cherry blossoms

After hearing Ye Qiu's words, Takmi was slightly unhappy, "Are you deliberately releasing water?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Qiu asked amusedly.

"The iron plate we use now is fully sealed underneath, after the fire is ignited, it will not cause uneven heating due to the influence of the wind, and coupled with the conduction of heat by the iron plate, it is basically a uniform heating of the meat pieces, which is the most perfect state, and if you want to use a blowtorch, haven't you considered the wind power today?"

The wind outdoors is a bit strong, even the blowtorch will not be well controlled, not to mention the use of a blowtorch to make food, making steak is also very important for the use of fire, if the steak is heated unevenly, it will become very affected by the taste, and Ye Qiu, as a student of Yuanyue, is unlikely not to know about this.

"Your conclusion is a bit early, who I am not fighting with all my might" Ye Qiu responded with a smile, that's right, he is fighting with all his might.

He is not very proficient in Western cuisine, and the dishes given by Ye Qiu's bloodline of Mo Mystic Chef Saint are almost all Asian cuisines, to be precise, the cuisines of China and Japan.

There are very few Western cuisines, but the bloodline of the Chef is the bloodline of the Chef after all, and what he treasures is not so many ready-made recipes, but the experience and endowment brought by the Chef Saint.

Who can't control the heat well when the wind is strong when the blowtorch is blowtorching? If it were someone else, maybe they really couldn't do it, but Ye Qiu was an ordinary person?

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't expose himself to magic in this world, Ye Qiu wouldn't even bother to use a blowtorch.

"Ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone, this is the most glorious time for our hotel in more than ten years, we invited two students from the Higher Division of Yuanyue Academy to make dishes for us, this time it is not only their cooking, but also a duel between two young talents, you who like to eat filet mignon can take a step forward, we will select 5 people as judges to taste their works, and then cast your precious vote"

The hotel owner was busy for a while, and then selected five customers as judges, they were not food judges, but this time it was not a food halberd, they were enough.

I didn't get selected and returned to the crowd with a sigh, but it was a shame that I had the opportunity to eat a top-notch meal.

So they decided to come here more often in the future, and maybe they would meet other Yuanyue students to have a cooking duel here, and then they could feast on it.

"Okay, no more nonsense, let's start cooking!"

Ye Qiu and Takmi each need to make a meal for 5 people, and the cooking time is one hour, and the time is not very tight for the steak, so Ye Qiu chose the steak in a hurry.

"This boss is really willing to spend money, although it is much worse than the 5A-grade beef of Mito Yumei's family, but it also costs a lot of money."

"Advanced pickling, it takes more than 10 minutes," quickly wrapped the meat with black pepper and salt, put it aside and waited, Ye Qiu went to prepare the appetizer first.

Appetizers are very important for steaks, in fact, they are not so particular, ordinary people can't feel the gap at all, but this time his opponent has carefully prepared appetizers, and he can't show weakness

If you don't prepare the ingredients, the taste of the beef will be very rich and delicious, but in this way, you will definitely not be able to eat the second piece, Ye Qiu's practice determines that he will take a long time, so that after eating Takmi's steak, he will directly eat Ye Qiu's steak, in that case, Ye Qiu's steak will have a lot of impact.

The main flavor of filet mignon is still the smell of black pepper, the taste of beef will be washed away by the taste of black pepper, it will not disappear, but it will not be very strong, so Ye Qiu must prepare a salad and wash the residual taste in their mouths with fresh fruits and vegetables

Then he thought about whether to make a second appetizer...."Forget it, after eating the next steak, you will be full after eating so many appetizers, what steak to eat" and decided to forget it.

After all, you are not a real food judge, you will not have such a big appetite and experience, usually the real judges will not eat all the dishes at once, you must maintain a certain appetite to taste all the deliciousness, as fair as possible.

When a person is full, his appetite decreases, and even if it tastes good, if he loses his appetite, the taste will drop a lot.

By this time, Takmi's meat had been marinated, and he put it on the iron plate, and the sound of the clatter, and the aroma of the wind instantly diffused, and Takmi's technique was good, he turned the beef, and the steak was like dancing on the iron plate, which could add a lot of impression points to him.

"Hehe, Takmi, are you doing acrobatics?"

Takmi glared at Ye Qiu, didn't say anything, and continued to concentrate on the work at hand.

After calculating the time, Ye Qiu unhurriedly put the steak onto the cold iron plate, and then picked up the blowtorch.

Turning the fire to the maximum, Ye Qiu injected magic power into it again, and then sprayed.

The flames directly submerged the entire piece of meat, and the iron plate quickly heated up until it turned red, and then Ye Qiu extinguished the flame again, turning the fire to the maximum, constantly depicting something on the piece of meat.

Takmi on the side pursed his lips, "I'm doing acrobatics, aren't you?"

It's not that he has never seen a steak grilled with a blowtorch, but it is the first time he has seen such a barbecue, and with such a big fire just now, he thought that Ye Qiu was going to roast this piece of meat into charcoal.

This practice requires an extremely precise control of the fire, maybe it can really be done by reaching the peak of culinary skills, but Ye Qiu is relying on his extraordinary strength.

The flames burned smoothly as if at his command, and the wind did not dare to disobey him, and made a detour around him

Although the wind outside was strong, it would not affect Ye Qiu's cooking at all, as expected, Takmi's steak was ready first, he divided the whole beef into 5 portions, no one had one, it seemed that he was not ready to take advantage of Ye Qiu, and finally divided half of the steak left on the iron plate.

"Please enjoy my food, filet mignon"

Filet mignon is the most traditional method, and there is nothing new in the slightest, but when you look at the steak, you can't help but make your fingers flutter.

"Then I'll start first"

Thinking that the judges couldn't help it, he took the lead in picking up the refining fork, the steak was not big, he cut two cuts, divided it into three pieces, and then inserted one of them and put it in the mouth

"Hmm?ah~~~" It was so delicious that he couldn't help but moan, and the other judges couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw that he was enjoying it, and began to eat one after another.

Moans and moans came and went, and at some point, all the judges' clothes exploded, and their clothes were half exposed, but there were 4 men among them, which was really nothing to look at.

The only woman was not very beautiful, and Ye Qiu instantly lost interest.

"This filet mignon is very good, it is so delicious, and it has a great texture, the best of all the steaks I have ever tasted!"

Hey, you're eating too low-end yourself.

"The steak is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is elastic, and it is superb"

"Not bad, good, good, good"

Since they are not professional food judges, they can only think of the words that have passed in the past, which sounds very unprofessional, and the last one is even more direct every time, using the word delicious perfunctory.

All in all, it was a success, and seeing the eager looks on the faces of the five people, Takmi thought he had won.

On the other hand, the steak on Ye Qiu's iron plate is basically formed, what is that black mass, it can't be really burnt, right? He really knows how to cook? It's not that he found the wrong person, this guy is not Yuanyue's student at all?

At this time, Takmi had to show such doubts, because Ye Qiu's cooking didn't look like he was cooking filet mignon but a wild barbecue, and it was an extremely unprofessional type.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Ye Qiu finally put down the kitchenware in his hand, "Whew, it's finally done."

"Are you done? Are you making steak or black charcoal?" Because he was idle and bored, Takmi looked at Ye Qiu's side for a long time, he couldn't see the mystery, he just felt that this fire was really strange, why was the wind so strong, but he didn't feel affected at all.

This may be a unique cooking method of Ye Qiu, and Takmi is not easy to ask, but the current finished product does not look like it is delicious.

The steak made by Ye Qiu is different from Takmi, he cooks a whole large steak directly and then cuts it, while Ye Qiu cuts it in advance, so when Ye Qiu put it on the plate, he didn't see what the mystery of these 5 steaks was.

Ye Qiu took out the refinement, and he made a few strokes on each steak, but even so, the steak did not reveal the meat inside, which made him very anxious, because until now Ye Qiu did not show any panicked expression, it seemed that everything was planned.

Now the salad is sent to all the judges, "Eat the salad first and then the steak, in the wrong order, or you will lose a lot of deliciousness"

Ye Qiu reminded him casually, and then stood aside and waited quietly for the results.

"Okay, please ask the 5 judges to taste what was made by our Mr. Ye Qiu.... The host of "Steak" doesn't know what kind of steak it is now, the original title was filet mignon, but now he doesn't look like filet mignon.

"This ..... Why don't you try it this time?" asked one of the judges in a low voice, looking at the judge who had been the first to go under the knife.

"But I don't think this kind of thing looks like it's delicious, it won't be poisoned, right?" A ball of black briquettes, no one will have an appetite when they look at it.

Unexpectedly, it was the female judge who was a little more daring in the end, she picked up the refining fork, and was about to cut down when she was stopped by Ye Qiu.

"Hey, wait, please don't use the knife, I've already cut it for you, just plug it in and eat it when you eat, and don't forget to eat the salad"

"Eh, okay, thank you for the reminder" The female judge was a little dissatisfied, but she still said so, I was kind enough to be the first to taste your failed work, and I am not grateful to Dade, how much are you going to let me eat?

She couldn't tell how big the meat Ye Qiu was cutting was, if it was a big piece, wouldn't she be embarrassed to death?

It's just that she still listened to Ye Qiu's words and ate the salad first, Sarah's taste was good, but the aftertaste of Takmi's delicious steak just now was written off, which was a pity.

She glanced at the four male judges sitting next to her, but she didn't expect their eyes to be focused on her, it seemed that she couldn't eat it!

She slammed the fork into the meat, and then with a pull, a neat square piece of beef was brought up, and the rich aroma of the meat exploded at this moment, and the sound of swallowing saliva in the whole venue was endless.

"It doesn't look like it's hard to eat," the female judge swallowed again as she smelled the taste, and he looked at the alternative and unique tender meat in the middle of the two layers of charred black, closed his eyes, and ate it directly.

At the moment of chewing, she was stunned, and then she heard the screams around her, and she turned her head to look at them with dull eyes, only to see that those people were all looking at their bodies.

She lowered her head, "Where did my clothes go?"

This was her last consciousness before she fell unconscious, the delicious food made by Ye Qiu was too impactful for ordinary Rao, and they couldn't withstand the impact of such taste and touch at all.

The brain malfunctioned and would enter a brief coma, Ye Qiu grinned, "Hehe, shouldn't the other four judges also taste my food?"

The other four looked at each other, and it didn't look like it was unpalatable according to the female judges, so they followed suit and took a bite into the steak.

"Knock knock" The four voices sounded, and the other four judges were not spared, they all took it off, and they were all lying on the table naked.

"Hey, you seem to have taken too much medicine, but you have to be responsible for the medicine when it is down" Takmi on the side stabbed Ye Qiu's stomach nervously and said.

"Who knew that they were so drug-free, it stands to reason that people should be very resistant to drugs now."

In fact, this was also within the scope of Ye Qiu's expectations, he used magic power when making materials, of course, there was no special effect, but he just filled the magic power into the flesh.

This will increase the taste and deliciousness of the food, but after all, it is not an ordinary thing, ordinary people can't eat this, I didn't expect to pour all the judges with a little magic, and I don't know how long it will take to get up.

Fortunately, these judges did not disappoint him, and woke up one after another, but when they got up, everyone had tears in the corners of their eyes, snot on their faces, and a bad talk expression.

The host hurriedly asked someone to bring them a clean towel to wipe it off, and it took a while to ease up.

"This beef is so impactful, it tastes amazing, it feels like I've eaten a fireball, and the taste of the beef is amazing."
