Chapter 21: Eggs
As the days passed, Feng Xue, who had comprehended the heart of cooking, although he had not made any progress in his cooking skills, but the dishes he made were completely different from before, he seemed to have opened the door to the peak of cooking in a flash, and a wave of creativity exploded into his mind, no matter how tricky the exam questions were, Feng Xue could complete them quickly, and now he is no longer the chef who only has basic skills but no more his own style.

Time was on the evening of the third day, and when the Polestar Liao group gathered in the room of Marui Zenji according to the custom, and by the way, when they were torturing the glasses man who was not in good physical strength, they suddenly received an urgent notice to meet in the auditorium immediately.
When everyone arrived, they realized that all the students who were still alive had gathered here, but everyone seemed to be listless at this time.
"Really, why are you here so late...... Yuhime grumbled.
And at this time, as Dojima Silver stepped onto the rostrum, Feng Xue also roughly understood what the upcoming plot would be.
In the plot of "Residential Study", there is a breakfast self-service assessment with eggs as the exam question, but I don't know exactly what day it is, but now it seems that it should be the fourth day, that is, tomorrow morning!
"I'm going to bring you all together and there's nothing special about it, just to tell you about tomorrow's topic......
After Dojima Silver said this, the students below became even more puzzled: "Tomorrow's topic?"
"Why announce it now?"
"Did you give time to prepare in advance this time? Is it because the previous elimination rate was too high?"
However, in everyone's doubts, Dojima Silver did not say the answer that everyone was expecting......
"The content of the project is to provide new breakfast dishes for Yuanyue Resort! Breakfast is the face of the hotel and the beginning of a new day for guests, and I hope you will make dishes that satisfy guests and feel fresh! The theme is 'eggs', whether it is Japanese, Chinese, or Western!
The breakfast buffet starts at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning and lasts for two hours, and the minimum standard is to provide 200 breakfasts...... Disband!"
Dojima Gin's words made the already exhausted students cry wolf.
Although everyone is very tired after a whole day of "bloody battles", it is obviously not the time to rest!
Feng Xue left the auditorium very calmly, he didn't go to the kitchen to experiment, as an outsider with foresight, it would be too inferior if he had to hold on to Buddha feet temporarily.
Early the next morning, Feng Xue almost arrived at the self-service hall and took out the raw materials taken from the warehouse, I have to say that the Yuanyue Hotel is really wealthy, and this kind of raw materials on the market are hundreds of thousands of yuan a gram for the students to take at will.
I checked the stock of other materials and found that they were not out of stock, so I waited for the start time with peace of mind.
After a while, the radio sounded, and Dojima Gin's voice came out: "The time has come, and in the next two hours, you must provide at least 200 creative breakfasts with the theme of 'eggs' to be considered qualified, and the 'judges' are invited to enter!"
With Dojima's words, the door of the self-service hall opened, and I saw a few children who looked to be about ten years old running in first, followed by old and young, men and women......
"Each time, we invite suppliers who work with the resort, as well as staff who serve guests at the resort, as well as their families, to be the 'judges'. They will be the most just because they will only eat what they want...... It's up to you!"
As soon as Gingarin Dojima's words fell, everyone got busy, and the rules were that it was possible to pre-treat the product, but if the finished product was directly delivered, it would be difficult to guarantee the best tasting period in an environment without an incubator, and the opportunity to attract customers with the cooking process was lost.
Of course, at the same time, dishes that can be completed quickly can also attract customers first, and have the advantage of being the first to attack!
For example, the first batch of dishes to be completed is the "Baked Egg Salad" in Takmi.
"Eggs bruschetta" is a common dish in Italian cuisine, where raw eggs are mixed with cheese and chopped fruits and vegetables such as sausages, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes, and then baked.
While it may seem appetizing, it's not a surprise or an innovation, so the tak mi goes one step further by simply cutting the "bruschetta" into cubes, mixing it with the prepared fresh fruits and vegetables, and then adding the black grape vinegar...... That is, the "Italian balsamic vinegar" that Erina used once (although I really can't understand what's good about Italian balsamic vinegar, maybe I'm a native person, anyway, I don't like most Western food very much, caviar too, in addition to the taste is a little better, the strange sauce taste is not as good as carp roe), and Parmesan cheese.
The fresh salad, which is clearly very much to the taste of young people, especially young girls, is quickly attracted by his "bruschetta salad......
At the same time, there is also a steady and steady type, which does not rely on eye-catching fancy dishes or eye-popping tricks to attract customers, but takes the "warm" route.
For example, Megumi Tazo's oden, because the main body of the regulation is "egg" cuisine, so many students with bright minds choose ingredients other than eggs, and Megumi Tazo chooses quail eggs!
In the morning, middle-aged and elderly people don't like to eat too much, and they don't feel greasy, so Megumi Tasho presents quail eggs and other vegetables that can be eaten in one bite, fish, tofu, mushrooms, etc., in the form of oden.
It has been favored by many elderly customers, especially the three oldest supplier bosses, who are very satisfied with oden!
There are also some clever mistakes that are clever, and the prepared dishes are not suitable for the theme of this time, such as Yu Mei uses an egg wrapped pork similar to omelet rice, although the taste is replaced with a fresh white wine vinegar flavor, semi-liquid egg yolk and white wine vinegar, and the taste of the veal steak wrapped in it is brought into full play, but the taste and satiety of the whole piece of meat are too full, and it is obviously a little inconsiderate as breakfast......
Although it attracted a lot of people at first, but gradually it was a little out of the fire, and Yu Mei finally had an idea, began to change the taste, and began to cater to the children who had more appetites in the morning, which stopped the decline.
But Feng Xue chose to attract guests first by virtue of the cooking process-
After sitting on a pot of boiling water, Feng Xue began to take out the egg, pinched the two ends of the egg with the thumb and middle finger of her right hand, and made a long stroke on the table, and suddenly the egg rotated vertically between the two fingers.
The eggshell is fragile, and if you scratch it on the table, you can break it if you don't use the slightest force, which is good to say.
The difficulty is to pinch the egg between two fingers, but the egg rotates rapidly, and it does not stop at all because of the friction between the eggshell and the fingers.
If you use a little force in your hands, the egg will stop turning!
But if you don't use force, the egg will slip between your fingers and fall to the ground!
As soon as this trick came out, the surrounding audience was immediately attracted to attention, but what was really amazing was not only that, Feng Xue's next action made the audience feel like they had seen a ghost!
I saw that Feng Xue's originally upturned index finger suddenly clicked continuously, and clicked on the egg from time to time, skillfully embroidering the girl constantly using the embroidery needle to pass through the silk.
Not to mention whether people's fingers can be so flexible, let's just say that with the movement of Feng Xue's index finger, the egg in his hand gradually made a slight cracking sound!
At this subtle sound, but heard by everyone, the first broken eggshell fell!
Then came the second piece, and then the third piece, one after the other, falling like raindrops.
The eggshell fell quickly, and in the slower and slower rotation rhythm of the egg, the eggshell on the egg had already fallen in pieces, and finally, only a little eggshell remained where it was pinched by two fingers.
This kung fu of breaking eggs was a scene that appeared in "No Thieves in the World" in his previous life, which was very amazing at the time.
Later, it was rumored that it was said that a master who has achieved the cultivation of national martial arts can do this, but the truly successful masters of national art will not be able to perform, and the half-man cannot do it, so there is no empirical evidence.
But now, Feng Xue took advantage of Shiyi's state of mind that was almost a mirror to stop water, and the strength was exactly the same, and with the grasp of ripple qigong for vibration, an egg had been completely peeled out in a moment.
Feng Xue put the eggs with only the inner membrane in cold water for later use, but her hands were bowed left and right, the same as before, but she was peeling two eggs at the same time.
With the increase in the number of cooking basins with eggs next to Feng Xue, there were more and more diners watching around Feng Xue's cooking table, and in an instant, there were more than a dozen cooking pots beside Feng Xue, and there were more than 200 eggs in the basin that had faded their shells.
At this moment, the water was already boiling, like a fish's eye, bubbles came out, Feng Xue didn't need a thermometer to know that the water was about 95 °C, which was the best temperature for brewing black tea.
Feng Xue took out the black tea, but it came from the reserves of the Far Moon Hotel.
The legendary Qimen spring tea, the unit price of one gram is thousands of yuan (the ordinary Qimen spring tea is about a few hundred grams, and the worse ones are dozens of grams, as for the superb products, it is at least more than three thousand grams, anyway, we can't afford to drink it, and we can't buy the original product), but Feng Xue threw these tea leaves into the pot at this time, brewed them with boiling water, and those who knew how to smell the aroma couldn't wait to rush up and beat Feng Xue.
However, what Feng Xue did next made these people who knew tea even more dazzling, just because Feng Xue actually threw star anise, cinnamon and other spices into the boiling black tea soup, put them back on the fire and boiled!
