Chapter 23: Winning the Challenge
"Oh my God. Ni Shuai held the red scarf on his chest with one hand, scratched his chubby face with the other, and had an exaggerated expression.
Ni Meili covered her mouth involuntarily with her hands, and her beautiful eyes widened.
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Peng, who were standing on the other side, had a loving expression.
Xu Ming's face was still unfazed, but he commanded his subordinates to get closer to the camera of the live broadcast.
Under the lens, Chen Mo's hands and arms can be seen with very obvious and clear burns.
"You areβ" Master Hong frowned slightly.
"Hey, hey. Chen Mo smiled and looked at the bubbles on his arm and said, "Because they are not very obedient, they have suffered a little." β
From the burns on Chen Mo's body and his answers, everyone immediately understood that Chen Mo must have suffered a lot in the process of making this Bodhi Jade Zhai.
Fail, try, fail, try again...
Until success!
In fact, only Chen Mo knew how much hard work he had put in.
Because he couldn't come up with that 20% of the recipes, Chen Mo planned to start all over again, borrow from the 80% recipes, and then make his own style of egg fried rice from scratch according to his own ideas.
Since he has no professional chef training, Chen Mo always has a hard time when trying to make new egg fried rice.
This kind of experimentation almost from scratch is completely different from having a recipe guide.
When making food according to the recipe, the system will constantly give hints in terms of heat, stir-frying, etc., according to the steps of the recipe.
But in Chen Mo's case of not relying on recipes and relying entirely on himself, all the production can only rely on himself.
"I'm a genius, I'm a genius!"
While cheering yourself up, you can innovate the way to make egg fried rice according to your imagination.
In order to control the heat, Chen Mo tried over and over again when to pour the rice and how much oil he needed.
As for the most critical step of pouring the egg liquid into Bodhi Yuzhai while frying, in order to practice the egg liquid in a short period of time to be completely absorbed by the rice grains but not stick to the bottom of the pot, Chen Mo later simply threw away the anti-scalding handle on the kitchenware, and directly used his hands to contact the heat-conducting kitchenware.
In this way, not only can you grasp and control the heat at any time, but you can also better control the spatula and complete the most critical step.
In just half a day and one night, Chen Mo actually succeeded!
The seemingly impossible task, the white crystal egg fried rice, was completed with Chen Mo's continuous efforts and attempts.
When Chen Mo finished this crystal egg fried rice dish, he found that the blank page that originally recorded 80% of the egg fried rice recipe had been rewritten with new words.
Not the original 80%, not the new 80%, but the brand new 100%!
......
Master Hong stepped forward and grabbed Chen Mo's palm, which was red and even bloodshot.
As a chef, Chef Hong knew that because of today's competition, in order to maintain the feel, Chen Mo did not wrap the injured area with a bandage.
And the little blisters on the little blisters on the little arm show how much Chen Mo has paid for today's game.
Master Hong gently put down Chen Mo's hand, patted the other party's shoulder, and said to everyone: "The egg fried rice made by this young man is very perfect, the heat and amount of the bottom oil left in the pot are just right, and when the rice is fried, not even a grain of rice is stained to the bottom of the pot." The finished egg fried rice is light and slightly sweet, soft and slightly sticky, fragrant and refreshing, this is a flawless work of art!"
"My opinion, the winner of this egg fried rice contest is..."
Chen Mo's arm was raised high by Master Hong.
"Chen Mo!"
"Okay!" Hearing the sound of his victory, Chen Mo finally couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and jumped up happily!
Victory is the best reward for your efforts.
The onlookers who supported Chen Mo stepped forward one after another, surrounded Chen Mo, and congratulated Chen Mo.
"Big brother, I knew you could do it!" Ni Shuai's address to Chen Mo changed again, and the three words big brother made the relationship between the two seem to be one step closer.
"Good job, Chen Mo. β
"Chen Mo, tomorrow I want to take this egg fried rice as a new product for everyone to taste. β
"Boss Chen, it's time to open the store tomorrow. β
"Brother Chen, are you the target?"
......
A pair of old couples who were supporting each other looked at Chen Mo who was surrounded by groups outside the crowd, with a smile on their faces.
"Old man, let's not squeeze in and join in the fun. β
"Just take a look, our old bones, how can we still squeeze in, but it doesn't matter, tomorrow morning, I'll take you to eat together." β
Aunt Peng smiled and replied, "Okay, I haven't eaten for a few days, and my mouth is hungry again." β
......
Brother Long, who was not convinced, came to Director Zhang's side, and Director Zhang was wandering in the delicious taste of Bodhi Yuzhai at this moment.
Brother Long found a spoon and scooped it to taste.
Just this mouthful, Brother Long's originally somewhat indignant expression subsided.
One of them patted Brother Long's shoulder, "How is it, Brother Long." β
Brother Long, whose original name was Ma Long, turned around, and it was Master Hong.
Without answering, Malone put the spoon down and walked away without saying a word.
"This is leaving?" Director Zhang said while eating, staring at Ma Long's back.
Master Hong sighed and replied, "I'm afraid the restaurant at the end of the street is going to close." β
......
In the afternoon, Chen Mo's food house was not open to the public, but there were two familiar faces in the house.
Perhaps due to the nervousness and mental tension before the game, although Chen Mo injured his arm, he didn't feel much pain, and it wasn't until the end of the game that Chen Mo, who was relaxed, felt the pain in his arm.
"Don't move, does it hurt? Arm shaking, isn't it manly. β
Ni Meimei's words like a series of cannons completely calmed Chen Mo.
At this moment, Ni Meili was holding the potion in one hand and a cotton swab in the other, carefully applying the potion to the burned place of Chen Mo.
"My sister's potion is precious, and she is usually reluctant to use it for me. Ni Shuai watched his sister give Chen Mo the medicine and said with a smile.
"If you want to talk more, pass me the gauze. β
Ni Shuai immediately closed his mouth, it seemed that Ni Shuai was still quite afraid of his sister.
"Zila" sounded.
Ni Meili tore the gauze and carefully bandaged the place where Chen Mo was coated with the potion.
Applying Ni Meimei's special treasure potion, Chen Mo felt that the pain disappeared immediately, and the originally hot place became very cool.
It's a magical potion.
"You can't touch the water for these two days, so let's delay the opening of the food house for two days. Ni Meili advised.
Chen Mo's face turned red, and he nodded hurriedly.
After all, in 22 years, this is the first intimate contact with a girl.
Ni Shuai's little eyeballs rolled, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
......
The excitement of the day calmed down, and it was already late at night.
Chen Mo, who was lying on the bed, took the business card handed to him by Master Hong, and recalled the conversation between Master Hong and himself at that time.
"Little Brother Chen, have you been trained as a professional chef before?"
Chen Mo shook his head.
"Oh, it turned out to be a hobby. β
Master Hong took out a business card from his arms and handed it to Chen Mo.
"Chinese cuisine has been dark for too long, I think you are a pearl, China needs more talents like you with culinary talent, if you need it, you can always come to me. β
On the business card:
Jiangning Golden Banquet Building
