Chapter 27: Gambling Kitchen Night
The competition is about to begin, all the rooms are open, and all the participants and spectators come out one after another, standing outside the round platform.
Pretty sexy presenter on stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, on this full moon night we are about to have the third gambling kitchen competition of this month, after the first two competitions, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of gambling kitchen, here congratulations to those who have won a big victory, but also hope that the previous results are not so satisfactory contestants can turn the tables today!
The host was passionate and charismatic, and everyone applauded enthusiastically.
Liu Zhen stood on the edge of the round platform and looked around, everyone had a look of inevitability on their faces, some chefs shrunk on the stage, and some were full of spring breeze, looking like they had won the previous game.
"First place, the chef representative of Mr. Huang of Hengyuan Real Estate!Win!30 million! Lose!1 life plus 30 million!" The chef standing at the front lowered his head, wearing a pair of black linen, his face was calm, and in the crowd, Liu Zhen could feel the breath of death emanating from his body, it was a pair of eyes that did not have the slightest expectation for life, but his voice was very high, and it seemed that he had achieved a lot of results.
The shouts from behind were louder and louder, and Liu Zhen slowly withdrew from the crowd and stood in the corner thinking.
"First time?" Ah Ding didn't know when he stood beside Liu Zhen.
I don't know why, Liu Zhen met Ah Ding for the first time just now, and his impression of him was not bad.
Liu Zhen nodded, leaning against the wall behind him, his hands in his pockets.
Ah Ding lowered his head to look at his toes, and his leather shoes were shiny.
"Liu Jinchen is not a good thing, how do you know him?" Ah Ding glanced at Liu Zhen from the side, he had a perfect side face, mainly a beautiful nose, although the expression was a little cynical, but the angular nose added more perseverance to him.
Liu Zhen snorted, and the corners of his mouth hooked.
"I had the pleasure of meeting you today. ”
"Just met? was arrested?" Obviously, Ah Ding had a clear understanding of the situation inside.
"Half voluntary, half forced, what, interested in me?" Liu Zhen turned his head to look at him.
Ah Ding smiled, his smile easily relaxed the other party.
"How could you do this?" Liu Zhen asked without answering.
Ah Ding smiled: "Poor, you need money, you will come here to earn more money." ”
"How long have you been here?"
"Four years, I came here at the beginning, and I am still half a founder, but in this broken factory, a lot has really happened in four years. Ah Ding sighed.
"A lot of people died, right?"
"Heh, you'll know after watching the first show. ”
Liu Zhen took out a cigarette and handed it to Ah Ding, Ah Ding lit a fire, took a deep breath, and his eyes rolled around his mouth.
"Don't feel guilty?" Liu Zhen also took out one and sandwiched it between his fingers, without igniting it.
Ah Ding didn't answer this question for a long time, and Liu Zhen was not in a hurry, the drums of the game over there had already been beaten, and everyone was moving towards the fate they might know.
After a long time, Ah Ding's cigarette burned to his fingers, threw it away, and stomped on it fiercely.
Liu Zhen also planned to raise his feet and leave.
"Guilty, but it's not out of my control now, I'm just a manager here, there's a big man in the back, I don't know how many people have died over the years, I'm watching..."
"Know who's behind it?"
"I don't know, they have a huge power, such a place where you can quickly make money is maintained by everyone you can see, and there are a wide range of interests involved, from officials to bosses of public enterprises, you see that they are so excited, they are interested in cooking? No, they are just interested in money. ”
"Do you know Liu Jinchen?" Liu Zhen asked suddenly.
"Heh," Ah Ding chuckled, "He has already lost two games, two lives, and lost 70 million, if he loses again today, his company may go bankrupt, and now he should have high hopes for you..."
"It's pretty much the same as I guessed..."Liu Zhen sneered.
"Are you sure? If not, I... Maybe I can help you. Ah Ding hesitated.
Liu Zhen quickly refused, this is not the purpose of his coming, he hasn't done anything yet, how can he leave easily?
handed the cigarette he didn't smoke to Ah Ding, and Ah Ding looked puzzled.
"Hehe, I can win, if I can't win, you may be able to help me," Liu Zhen winked at him, "But this ghost place is really not suitable for existence on Earth, and my sacred profession has been tainted by it." ”
Ah Ding opened his mouth to say something, but the host over there had already announced that the game was over, and everyone's attention was attracted to the past, I don't know which people were overflowing today, and which people were crying bitterly.
"Alright, the drums have sounded, all the contestants have been invited out of the venue, please find your place and stand. ”
Suddenly, a scream broke through the crowd's coaxing, and a man rushed out of it, his face hideous, rolling with his head in his hands.
The crowd fell silent and moved away from the seemingly insane man.
"It's too stressful, it's crazy. Ah Ding said calmly, but the cigarette in his hand had been shredded by him without knowing it.
The host did not panic in the slightest, and it seemed to be very good at dealing with this commonplace scene.
Soon a few uniformed staff members came up and dragged people away, and anyone who saw such a brutal method would know what the end would be for the crazy people who were waiting.
"A little accident on the side, I hope it won't affect everyone's attention, Mr. Gong Ping, the supervisor of the chef just now, you failed to gamble on the kitchen this time, and the five million you pressed on our side will not be returned to you. The moderator read into the deposit list.
"Oh my God, why did you do this to me, how can I live! My company is relying on this life-saving money, that damn chef, ruined everything!" a middle-aged man knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Two people in the prime of life, ruined their lives, and even their lives in one day, and behind these two people there are two families, and there are also employees of the company, these people have suffered a disaster because of a meaningless gamble.
This is a small episode in the eyes of everyone, the game process continues, and the tragedy continues.
Soon the second game was about to start, Liu Jinchen called Liu Zhen over, and when he left, Ah Dingsai gave him a coin-sized plastic coin.
"It's going to be useful right below your dish. ”
Liu Zhen didn't turn his head and went back to the room.
"You must do your best to wait for the competition, don't think I'm joking, if you lose, not only will I be unlucky, no one will be able to save your life!" Liu Jinchen emphasized again,
Liu Zhen smiled: "Put your heart in your stomach, and I will try my best to satisfy you." ”
Liu Zhen ascended to the high platform and stood on it like a lamb about to be slaughtered, waiting for the verdict to be announced.
"The fifteenth in this group, Liu Jinchen and Mr. Liu's chef representative, Liu Zhen! win! 80 million! Lose, one life plus 50 million!" The host's voice was loud, Liu Zhen didn't expect that his life could be worth 30 million, and that person just now didn't seem to be worth anything.
As soon as the words fell, someone began to question: "Who is this, can it be worth 30 million? Isn't it just a cook?"
"It's just that we can't go through it like this, we have to explain it. ”
The host kept smiling: "Hearing your questions, let me explain, Liu Zhen, Xianyu Shengshi has got a new chef!"
"Why is he here! Isn't the boss of Xianyu Shengshi surnamed Yu?"
"He was just hired by Mr. Liu Jinchen to his own company, so he represents Mr. Liu Jinchen, but with his identity, you should have no objection to the value of 30 million, right?"
The venue gradually quieted down, and the moderator continued to announce.
Liu Zhen quickly followed the people next to him into the competition venue.
It's a very big place, it's made of cold stainless steel everywhere, and you can hear the echo of footsteps in the middle, like the call of death, and when you step into it, you feel half buried under your body.
No one is talking nonsense, no one is idle, racing against time to prepare ingredients, only Liu Zhen was surprised.
Watching the nose and nose and mind, standing quietly next to the cooking table, not taking the ingredients and not starting the fire, this is simply waiting for death in the eyes of others.
As the minutes ticked by, one of the players close to him looked over from time to time.
"Hurry up and do it, it's real to be able to survive. Kindly reminded him.
Liu Zhen looked to the side, he was boiling water over the white water, and there was mutton next to him.
"Let's do it all over again. Liu Zhen said.
The man was visibly stunned: "What?"
"I said, you can do it again," Liu Zhen frowned, "You shouldn't use boiling water, you only need sixty degrees, otherwise the taste will disappear completely, and if you want to braise it, cut the mutton into small diced meat with white pepper, sea salt, and honey, simmer for five minutes over medium heat, add butter, and add the white water to simmer for three minutes, this is a relatively simple method, you don't have time, hurry up." ”
After Liu Zhen finished speaking, he turned around and came to the ingredients area, and took a handful of shallots, some nuts, and low-gluten flour.
What can be made from such a simple ingredient?
Mix the noodles, knock them, wake up the noodles, and follow the steps.
Cut half of the shallots into chopped green onions, half into green onion segments, peanuts, walnuts, pecans, peel and set aside.
Put in olive oil and heat, add a bowl of chopped green onions after the oil temperature rises slightly, put it out when the green onion fragrance is fried, then add oil to the pot, put in the green onion segments, sprinkle salt to make the green onion segments golden brown, and the moisture is completely gone, and the friction between the green onion segments makes a crunchy sound.
The last time is nuts, fried and peeled to cool, a rich fragrance comes to the face, Liu Zhen chopped them all and set aside.
Rolling the dough, cutting the noodles, below, a set of actions flowing like splashing ink painting, the smooth noodles are too cold water, and the Q bomb is even.
The remaining oil with the scent of green onions and nuts just now has cooled down slightly, Liu Zhen poured light soy sauce, lemon juice, white pepper, and rose juice mixed seasonings into it, and the water immediately burst into a burst when it meets the hot oil, the sound is crisp, and at the same time, the aroma is emitted with the white mist, floating in all directions, and some people turn their heads to watch.
