"Guys, what I'm going to do now is a palm. The bear's paw of the Liaobei black bear. Peng Yichen smiled confidently.

He now sees himself as a chef who has devoted his life to the highest level of cooking and is fully immersed in the process of cooking.

Huang Rong sat opposite and sneered: "The traditional Chinese method of dealing with bear's paws is nothing more than braised bear's paws, white braised paws, and yellow braised paws. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Peng Yichen began to slap his face.

"The way I handle bear's paws is – steaming. ”

Zhao Gangsheng took out the bear's paw that had been processed from the pot and put it on the board in front of Peng Yichen.

Peng Yichen took out a kitchen knife from the kitchenware box, rotated it on the surface of the bear's paw a few times, and cut out five horizontal and vertical incisions on the skin of the bear's paw.

The speed of his knife was terrifying, and the people around him didn't see how he made the knife at all, but he had already cut the bear's paw.

Chop the kitchen knife on the wooden cutting board. Peng Yichen took out another wild and natural honeycomb.

"This is a wild honey nest, and I will let the honeycomb and bear paw go into the pot together. ”

I saw that the kitchen knife in his hand waved another knife light, and he easily cut the honeycomb into several pieces of uniform thickness. Place them on the bear's paws, put them together on the steamer, and steam them over high heat.

Peng Yichen listened to the sound of the flames rising in the stove with his ears, and constantly adjusted the size of the flame of the gas stove with his hands.

After so many days of constant listening exercise, now it has finally come in handy.

Through this meticulous heat control, the honey nest in the pot quickly flows out layers of natural honey and beeswax.

This honey and beeswax slowly melt to the surface of the bear's paw below, encapsulating the entire bear's paw inside.

Not only can you seal all the aroma of the bear's paw in the meat, but you can also use honey and honeycomb to synthesize the fishy smell of the bear's paw while maintaining the tender taste of the bear's paw.

"Now let's start carving winter melons. Peng Yichen commanded Zhao Gangsheng to fly on a large winter melon and fly it with a small carving knife.

Soon, this winter melon was turned into a 'celadon bowl' carved with this landscape painting on the surface under the eyes of everyone.

"Then I'll put it on the plate. Ou Jiahui volunteered to take out the ingredients for plating. "I made a bird out of a swallow's liver and put a lace on the plate. ”

Soon, the bear's paw was steamed.

Peng Yichen opened the lid of the pot, and the bear's paw was like a piece of amber, wrapped in honey flowing out of the honeycomb, trying to let these wild honeys have completely entered the flesh of the bear's paw.

He used a clamp to pick up the bear's paw in the pot and carefully placed it on top of a bowl of bird's nest.

Put it back in the iron pot and continue to steam over high heat.

Although the technique is simple and the process is not complicated, it is the best way to integrate the most original and delicious ingredients into one.

Cai Lan, the Xiangjiang judge on the side, looked at their presentation and couldn't help but sigh: "He uses the bird's nest of Snow Swallow, the best of the bird's nests." ”

"Steamed beeswax from bear's paws, bird's nest dropped. Chef Liao's cooking skills may seem simple, but there is a lot of truth in it. His combination of ingredients and flavors has exceeded ordinary people's imagination. Sure enough, it deserves the reputation of 'China's first chef'. Chinese judge Ruan Qingtian chanted a poem while praising Peng Yichen's cooking skills.

Peng Yichen opened the lid of the pot, put the bear's paw on a large bowl of winter melon, poured white wine on it, and then lit it.

"On the plate. Spirits burn incense. Judges, welcome the spring with a blazing fire, and a palm. ”

Peng Yichen watched the plate being served to the judges, just like all chefs, looking forward to seeing the dishes he made that could make diners happy and happy.

A blazing fire burns on a bear's paw like an amber patch, and the crisp carved landscape winter melon bowl underneath is refreshing and interesting. The bowl is lined with a circle of swallow-shaped plates, which is more like a beautiful painting of gongbi, and the whole dish is full of poetry.

The three judges cleaned their mouths again, and then each picked up a piece of bear's paw meat.

When they put the meat in their mouths, a strange aroma instantly swells up from their mouths and into their nostrils, stimulating every taste bud on the tip of their tongue.

The smooth texture makes their lips and teeth unable to stop chewing.

The honey seeping into the bear's paw meat, with its floral fragrance and sweetness, fills every inch of the mouth space.

The three people who ate almost swallowed their tongues.

"The beeswax in the honeycomb encloses the honey and the fleshy aroma of the bear's paw itself. This fragrance is something I have never tasted in my life, it is so fragrant. Hou Xiaotian, the heir of Fangshan, was the first to praise him.

His face was full of the happy expression that he had satisfied his desire for food.

Cai Lan also praised with a smile: "This dish, crisp and bright, blends the taste of snow swallow's bird's nest into the bear's paw, and it is indeed a top-notch flavor." ”

Ruan Qingtian didn't speak, he carefully weighed in his heart that although the two bear paws were the best dishes, the competition had to be divided into high and low after all.

The master of ceremonies saw that the judges above were ready, and said again: "The judges below can give points." Let's take a look, Mr. Hou has a full score, Mr. Cai has a full score, and Mr. Ruan is also a full score. Unexpectedly, in the first game tonight, the two sides were tied. ”

When the people on Peng Yichen's side heard the master of ceremonies' words, they all jumped up happily.

You must know that when Huang Rong got a full score just now, everyone was still very worried.

Only whether Peng Yichen is calm or not, he knows that things still have a turn for the better.

Sure enough, at this moment, the Chinese foodie Ruan Qingtian stood up.

"After hundreds of years of development, the Manchu and Han banquets have a total of 108 dishes, and the main dish of tonight's game belongs to the part of the Longmen banquet. Chef Wong's sturgeon fish stew with frozen palms is unrivaled in terms of a single dish. ”

When everyone heard him say this, they thought he was helping Huang Rong speak, but they didn't expect his tone to change, "Bear paw is the sixth dish on the menu." The fifth dish is fish, and Chef Huang's dish also has fish, and the two dishes are all fish, so they repeat each other. So tonight's victory should be Manhan Tower. ”

Huang Rong thought that this Ruan Qingtian was from his side at first, but when he heard this, he scolded fiercely: "Fake foreign devil." ”

turned around and left the Manhan Tower.

On the side of Manhan Tower, everyone was jubilant, everyone high-fived each other, laughed, and vented the tension and pressure in their hearts for such a long time.

"The first leg is over, so please be there on time tomorrow night. The second round of the tournament was held, and the main course was: Elephant Pull. ”

…….

The next evening, still in the lobby of the Manhan Building, representatives of the Hong Kong catering industry gathered again to witness a wonderful cooking competition.

"Let's start the second game. The master of ceremonies' words just fell.

Hearing the words of the master of ceremonies, Peng Yichen knew that if he didn't change the plot, he would immediately be put off the towel of his hands and feet and burn his right hand.

Tonight's game is definitely going to be lost.

According to his heart, he is unwilling to let the villain succeed.

But if you change the plot of the movie, your final rating in this plot world may be very low.

Just when he was entangled, he inexplicably recalled his childhood in the previous life.

As a person born in the late 70s, watching Xiangjiang movies in a cramped and dimly lit video hall is almost one of the deepest memories of his teenage years.

This time, Fang Long asked him to write the script of the Chinese New Year film, and he did not choose "Eight Star Annunciation", "Best Partner", "Happy Family", which are more famous and have a higher box office. The most important reason is the love for the movie "Full of Gold" in my heart.

As one of the first films to be imported from the mainland, "Full of Gold" is truly memorable, not the nonsensical spoofs that are customary in other Hong Kong Chinese New Year films.

Instead, director Xu Ke uses the expression of a sword-like martial arts movie to describe a profession that Chinese people are most proud of and love—chefs, romantic and imaginative.

Many of the plot settings are very similar to martial arts movies.

For example, in the next paragraph, when the protagonist was about to win, he was injured by the villain's black hand, but the protagonist was not only not discouraged, but turned defeat into victory at the last moment.

This is the bridge that often appears in martial arts movies.

It can be said that the core of martial arts gives this movie a romantic imagination and infinite charm. Without this core, "Full of Gold" would be just an ordinary Chinese New Year movie.

Countless thoughts passed through my heart in an instant.

Peng Yichen secretly made up his mind in his heart.

"I'm cooking tonight to pull out the mountains and rivers......"

He followed the original plot and slowly began to cook the dishes he was going to cook tonight.

"The elephant we use for cooking is purchased from Thailand and has been completely smoked in a Qibao oven. Then I'm going to braise the elephant and braise it...... Ladies and gentlemen, I will now take the burnt elephant and put it on a red buckle. ”

Peng Yichen handled the elephant in a step-by-step manner, and then put it in a pot to bake.

When the elephant pulled out of the pot, Peng Yichen kept cheering himself up in his heart, and picked up the towel that had been tampered with.

Holding the towel, I just grabbed the edge of the pot, and the towel immediately burst into flames.

Peng Yichen only felt that the skin on his hands instantly became hot and painful, and Ou Jiahui and Zhao Gangsheng next to him hurriedly ran over and hurriedly helped him extinguish the flames on his hands.

Ou Zhaofeng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, hurriedly asked: "That's a special heat-insulating towel, how could it suddenly catch fire?

Peng Yichen glanced at Huang Rong with anger on his face, and guessed: "Someone must have sprinkled phosphorus powder on the towel." ”

They couldn't cook here, but Huang Rong on the other side was complacent and started his "rich elephant pull".

Looking at his face full of villainous ambition, the elephant pulled and cut flew in the air, and jumped directly into the pot from the board one by one.

Peng Yichen couldn't wait to go up and give him two punches.

Holding back the disgust in his heart and the pain in his hands, Peng Yichen began to direct Ou Jiahui and Zhao Gangsheng to continue cooking.

Although he knew that it was impossible to make exquisite dishes with these two people, Peng Yichen still had to work hard to do it.

Because this is not only the process of him experiencing setbacks and seeking growth, but also the important growth experience of Ou Jiahui and Zhao Gangsheng from young and reckless to mature and stable.

Sure enough, without Peng Yichen's backbone, Zhao Gangsheng and Ou Jiahui started cooking, and they all panicked.

After Zhao Gangsheng cut the baked elephant pull, Ou Jiahui picked up the clamp and prepared the elephant pull to put it in the steamer.

Unexpectedly, the force was too great, the clamp was broken, and the elephant pulled all over to the ground.

Zhao Gangsheng and Ou Jiahui hurriedly rushed over, and wanted to pick up the elephant and redo it.

It's a pity that at this moment, Huang Rong's "Rich Elephant Pull" on the opposite side has been done.

The master of ceremonies regretfully announced: "Because the elephant pull of the Manhan Building cannot be completed on time, the winner tonight is Master Huang Rong of the Speculation Group." ”

The two sides were again tied.
