There was a "pop" and the plate landed on the table.

The camera pans to the plate, a well-fried carp, lying on a sweet and sour sauce.

The entire main building was silent.

People were shocked by Xia Yu's simple and neat "cooking" performance.

This......

It's too casual, right?

From the perspective of an ordinary chef, this 'sweet and sour carp' should be called a delicious dish, with a good heat and sweet sauce, and a sweet and sour sauce that exudes enough sweet and sour taste.

But if you start from Xia Yu's "Dragon Kitchen" foundation, this cooking work to deal with the Qilinzi test is too simple.

The dragon head Zhu Ji's face sank slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with Xia Yu's perfunctory behavior!

Even Kong Chun and Wei An, who were led to other thoughts by Wu Tong's words, couldn't help but look at each other in surprise, completely unable to figure out why the young demon king, who had been pursuing the so-called "perfection", would take out a shameless work and smash the demon king's signboard at such a ceremony.

Kong Chun and Wei An repeatedly looked at the dishes on the plate several times.

“…… Done?"

The bigwigs had to look at each other.

"It's almost done. Xia Yu smiled slightly.

"Very ordinary, homely sweet and sour carp. ”

Wu Tong looked away from the plate, looked up at Xia Yu, and said expressionlessly: "This is the name you gave to 'Qilinzi'...... To be honest, I don't know what to say, but if it were based on your cooking skills and personal reputation, I would not hesitate to give you a 0!"

You don't need to taste it in person, the dragon chefs present can understand the "hole" of the dishes.

From the standpoint of Dragon Kitchen, this "emptiness" is the lack of food spirits!

The high-end dishes with 'food spirits' have their own temperament, and this temperament is from the inside out, just like Huang He's "Turtle and Crane Longevity Soup", when the pot is unveiled, there are many different scenes. But Xia Yu's sweet and sour carp is too quiet now, there is no change at all, and the taste that wafts into everyone's nose is also plain and bland, and it can't arouse any food imagination.

From this point, there seems to be nothing wrong with the "zero score" judgment given by Wu Tong.

"Are you sure that's all there is to it?"

Zhu Ji said at an unhurried pace: "We old men can tolerate your improvisational works, which are not as good as the classic 'Meat in the Center of the Earth' that defeated Huang He that day, but if it is such an ordinary dish level that is not even willing to move the chopsticks, it will be too disappointing." I might name your unicorn and vote no!"

Listening to the serious tone of the faucet, the atmosphere inside the white jade building suddenly became subtle.

Many people can't help but talk to each other in low voices.

"Hey, according to the rumors, the Xia Demon King became a 'Qilinzi', isn't it just a matter of going through the motions?

"Who knows, these old guys, all of them are not good at stubble, maybe they will change their minds on the spot. ”

"Zhu Longtou is not good at stubble, I agree with this, after all, he fought and killed all the way to this high position. But this Xia Demon King has a blood relationship with him, but looking at his attitude, how can he look like he wants to kill his relatives in righteousness?"

The sound of squirming sounded everywhere from the second floor to the top floor, and people couldn't help but cast curious eyes on the questioning but still calm teenager.

How can he solve this dilemma?

The master of ceremonies, who has never had a sense of existence, said weakly at this time: "That, Chef Xia, there is a stove on the stove and you didn't turn off the fire, there is water in the small pot, boil it......"

Hey!

The building fell silent in an instant.

The stove, the small pot, the water is boiling? Everyone was shocked to realize that there was indeed a stove on the stove that had not been turned off, and the small pot on top of it was indeed not more ordinary water.

Water vapor filled.

"Is the water boiling?" Xia Yu's smile was full of mystery in the eyes of Zhu Ji, Wu Tong and the others.

"Yes. ”

The master of ceremonies replied.

The five bigwigs present in the auditorium watched Xia Yu turn around and return to the kitchen counter, frowning one after another.

The camera suddenly stopped on a bottle of wine on the kitchen counter.

"This is...... Rice wine?" Zhu Ji was surprised, "Shaoxing old wine?"

The position of this jar of wine is relatively hidden, a small jar, Xia Yu is on the table, and a transparent glass is placed, so Shi Shiran untied the rope of the retro wine jar and unsealed the cloth and cork.

Coincidentally, a line of words on the front of the small wine jar was reflected in the camera and everyone's field of vision.

Aging.

Champion Red.

There is actually a jar of 'champion red', a very ancient rice wine.

You must know that rice wine is one of the world's three ancient liquors along with beer and wine, and in the Shang and Zhou dynasties three thousand years ago, there was a 'Jimo old wine' famous all over the world.

Today's rice wine field is led by Shaoxing wine, such as 'daughter red', 'champion red', and 'Huadiao wine' are all old Shaoxing wines.

But the combination of carp and rice wine, the strange combination, is a big surprise.

"National rarity?" Kong Chun was stunned when he saw the brand mark on the front of the wine jar, "This wine ......"

"Ahh

There was an exclamation somewhere on the third floor, and the off-site camera immediately swept over, a middle-aged man wearing a chef's costume, in the special chef team of Bai Yulou, couldn't help but say: "This is the champion red I brewed, and this champion red breaks the tradition, using high-tech technology and separation equipment, without adding a drop of water, without adding a drop of alcohol, it belongs to the new era of rice wine, and the alcohol content is directly chasing the liquor, and it can be up to 60 degrees!"

Wu Tong frowned tightly and waved his hand: "Then why don't you just use white wine, but use rice wine?"

"Because ......," the middle-aged man opened his mouth to answer, but Xia Yu chuckled, "Because this rice wine is supplemented with more than a dozen nourishing Chinese medicinal materials such as longan, wolfberry, and Ganoderma lucidum. It's not just the alcohol content, in terms of nutrition and health care, it has completely surpassed the traditional sense of rice wine. ”

The middle-aged winemaker was stunned, and then his face flushed, and there was an excitement of finding a soulmate and being recognized.

Xia Yu acted as he spoke.

The 'rice wine' of the small wine jar is transferred to a transparent glass throughout the jar.

Then, he put the whole glass into a small pot of boiling water, boiled it for about 15 seconds, and then "clicked" to turn the stove valve shut.

Return on a tray with a large glass of mulled wine.

Snapping, putting the tray down, Xia Yu took a step back, looked at the puzzled looks of the five bigwigs in front of him, and explained very calmly: "Please pour this glass of wine on the carp." ”

"How to water, how much to water, how long to water, you can do whatever you want. ”

The five of them had deep doubts.

"Is this 'Arowana'?" Zhu Ji said the real name of Xia Yu's recipe.

"Arowana?, so to speak. Recipes are not made up out of thin air, my method and process flow are basically born from the dish of arowana. Xia Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the dragon head also knew the dish of dragon fish, compared to other traditional dishes, most chefs should not have the experience of cooking it." ”

"Arowana!" Yan Qi immediately looked at Xia Qing on the second floor.

At this time, Xia Qing looked at his grandson in astonishment.

In fact, this dish originated from his manuscript, and it was also Xia Qing's specialty when he was young.

"Do you want to pour rice wine over the carp?"

Wu Tong looked at the glass on the tray with blazing eyes.

'Rice wine', which is a clear yellow-red, is filled with a full glass, and the whole is like amber, and the brilliance is dazzling.

Tentatively put his hand on the wine glass, Wu Tong raised his eyebrows, it can be said that the wine is very hot, at least more than fifty degrees.

Whew.

A glass of wine was sprinkled on the carp's body, and from head to tail, the whole fried fish was dripping with water in an instant.

Wu Tong put down the empty cup, frowned and asked, "Then what?"

"Smack!"

The sound of snapping fingers.

Just like the movement of a lighter switch, at this moment, with a pop, the tail of the fish raised high in the shape of a "jump", and suddenly a dazzling flame rose, and this wisp of fire burned the entire carp in an instant.

"Boom!"

Flames covered the plates.

"It's on fire—"

From the ground floor to the top floor, at this moment, the food palace like a holy place in the Chinese world is filled with overlapping exclamations.

"This fire ...... Very fast!" Wu Tong was startled, he just put the wine glass, the sleeve was on the side of the plate, and the flames on the plate showed signs of spreading, so shocked that he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and kept saying: "It is impossible for traditional rice wine to burn like this, at most a dozen degrees of wine, no matter how you light it, it is impossible to ignite ......."
