Chapter 20: Gold and Silver
It has been two full days since Brother Long, who came to the door at the end of the street that day, to provoke.
In the past two days, the food house has been temporarily closed and has not opened, and similarly, the "delicious egg fried rice" at the end of the street has also been closed.
This made the breakfast shop on the street a lot of fun.
The unsuspecting boss thought that his shop's business had returned, and thought that these neighbors had finally recognized the craftsmanship of the store.
The elated boss also wants to give his own chef a raise, and the whole chef is also a little inexplicable.
......
On the day of the race, the sun was shining.
According to the agreement, Chen Mo came to the door of the street office in Chunfengli Street.
In the open space in front of the street office, two stoves have already been set up, and common seasonings such as eggs, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all prepared.
When Chen Mo arrived, Brother Long was already standing in front of his stove.
Looking at the other party's calm and relaxed appearance, it seems that he is confident of winning.
In the center of the front of the stove, there are two chairs, and Zhang Hongbo, the director of the street office, and an old man who has never seen him before.
Seeing that Chen Mo was late, Brother Long took the initiative to shout: "Why are you here now, I thought you were too scared to come!"
Chen Mo smiled contemptuously, and replied in a loud voice: "I hope the game is over, you can still be so arrogant." ”
Seeing that the other party seemed to be very confident, Brother Long snorted and stopped talking.
There were less than 10 minutes left before the start of the game, and at this time, the entrance of the street office was already flooded.
Those neighbors who hadn't eaten a food house for two days rushed to cheer for Chen Mo early.
But Brother Long, who has been frying egg fried rice here for several years, also has a lot of die-hard fans.
"Xiao Chen, we're here to cheer you on. ”
Chen Mo followed the voice and looked, hey, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Peng actually made a special trip to watch the game.
Not only them, but in the crowd, Chen Mo also saw Ni Shuai and his sister Ni Meili, as well as Xu Ming, a middle-aged man who was still dressed in a straight suit.
These people have come to cheer them on.
The time for the start of the game is approaching.
"Ahem. ”
Director Zhang, who was sitting in the chair, stood up, raised his voice, and said to the people present.
"Today, we are holding an egg fried rice cooking competition here in our street, and we want to uphold the spirit of Chinese cuisine to carry forward the tradition and continue to innovate, and make egg fried rice that can represent the highest level in our spring breeze!"
As soon as they heard that the game was about to start, the crowd immediately burst into warm applause.
"As the director of the street office, it is my duty to be the judge of this competition, but I feel that my level is limited and cannot represent the authority of the food industry, so I invited Chef Dou Hong, the most famous and respected restaurant master in our JN district, to come over and ask him to be the referee of our competition. ”
After Zhang Hongbo finished speaking, the crowd immediately talked and whispered.
"I didn't expect Master Hong to come, I had only seen him on TV before. ”
"He is a representative of the food industry in our JN district, and the largest restaurant in our district, Jinyan, is not his own. ”
"It is said that the ancestor of this master is a person who used to be a royal chef in the capital. ”
......
Chen Mo could hear clearly.
It seems that this unstellar master is really not small.
At this time, the master stood up, cleared his throat, and said in a hoarse voice: "Two chefs, please listen, the dish of today's competition is egg fried rice, only egg fried rice, no other ingredients are allowed, all raw materials are only allowed to use the materials provided by us on site, the time to make egg fried rice is 15 minutes, according to the order in which the production is completed, Director Zhang and I will taste it in turn, and finally give a conclusion." Do you have any questions, two chefs?"
Chen Mo saw that this old master had a slight hunched back, two small eyes but very spirited, about sixty years old, and most of his hair was gray.
Looking at the rice and eggs provided on site, although the quality is not as good as that provided in the ingredient cabinet of the food house, it is also a very good variety on the market.
Rice is rice that has been prepared and kept warm in a rice cooker.
"I don't have a problem. Brother Long replied in a loud voice.
Chen Mo also shook his head, signaling that he had no problem.
Zhang Hongbo looked at the time and shouted loudly: "Spring Breeze Street, egg fried rice competition, officially starts!"
As soon as the words fell, Brother Long over there had already started quickly and started to produce.
I saw Brother Long scoop out two large spoonfuls of white rice from the rice cooker, put them on the plastic wrap, then tighten the plastic wrap, tie the hole, and put it in a container full of ice cubes.
Seeing the other party's method, Chen Mo knew that because there was no refrigerator here, and there was no overnight meal, the other party did this in order to make the rice more chewy, and used rapid ice cube freezing to replace the taste of the refrigerator and the overnight meal.
It turns out that the "delicious egg fried rice" at the end of the street is not unaware of the need to use overnight rice to stir-fry, but it disdains to use such a laborious production method to make a plate of egg fried rice.
In a shop that specializes in egg fried rice, the boss doesn't have time to prepare just the right amount of overnight rice to make fried rice, and it is impossible to spend a certain amount of time freezing the rice before making each plate of egg fried rice.
Chen Mo remembered that the chef who was busy in the kitchen at that time was not Brother Long, who was now in charge, in Chen Mo's impression, Brother Long at that time was just sitting on the sidelines smoking and watching the chef busy.
What does this mean?
Chen Mo guessed that maybe Brother Long knew that his egg fried rice didn't need to be 100% at all, which was enough to meet the needs of these unknowledgeable diners.
After all, Chinese cuisine is still at its lowest point.
In this way, the strength of this Brother Long is much stronger than predicted.
Remove the plastic wrap wrapped rice from a cold container, cut the plastic wrap with a knife, and remove the iced rice.
Pour the rice into a large bowl, take out a bottle and pour in some viscous liquid.
Chen Mo looked at it, this is not vegetarian oil.
Judging from the current production method of Brother Long, it is almost no different from the egg fried rice recipe pushed backwards by the food house.
This is a master.
At this time, Chen Mo found that Brother Long was constantly stirring the rice poured with vegetable oil with his left hand, and at the same time he was beating an egg into a small bowl with his right hand, stirring quickly.
Then, Brother Long directly poured the bowl of churned egg mixture into the rice.
The rice that is frozen quickly by ice cubes has a hint of cold stickiness, and the egg liquid is evenly adsorbed in an instant.
Brother Long held the bottom of the large bowl of rice with one hand, and the tail of the stirring rod with the other, stirring with all his might.
In that big stainless steel bowl, Chen Mo was surprised to see that the rice and egg liquid were like liquids, and under the stirring of the stirring rod, they were rapidly rotating along the edge of the bowl!
Good wrist strength.
Boom the fire, get oiled!
While the oil was hot, Brother Long quickly poured the rice that was fully fused with the egg liquid into the iron pot, and then quickly stir-fried so that the eggs covered each grain of rice!
With a roar, Brother Long's egg fried rice came out of the pot.
The crowd at the scene couldn't help but exclaim!
Fully presented golden egg fried rice!
"This is the legendary 'gold and silver'!" Master Hong frowned, obviously very surprised.
