Liu Zhen finally squeezed in, sweated all over, reached out to wipe the sweat with a tissue on the service desk, and heard a bald middle-aged man next to him say, "This Zhang Junwei is really bold enough, not long after the head chef of our Xianyu Shengshi came, he dared to make a challenge. ”

"Yes, by the way, I heard that this Zhang Junwei is big-headed, and the dishes he cooks are not affordable for ordinary people!" The thin man next to the bald man continued, "Last time I read the news, it was reported that the mayor invited him to be the head chef, and he also refused! I don't know why I'm in trouble with our chef today. ”

"But I think our Chef Liu also has real skills, besides, I don't know who will win or lose in this competition!

Liu Zhen silently listened to the broken mouth of the person next to him, this is a pair of slender jade hands suddenly pulled Liu Zhen's sleeve and pulled Liu Zhen to the corner of the hall, "Why did you just arrive! Prepare well, I don't think this person is simple!"

"......" Liu Zhen turned his head to look at Yu Yue, who was still looking tight with frowning eyebrows, and then looked at Yu Yue's hand pulling his sleeve.

“…… Oh, you go and prepare, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, the point is to figure out what kind of wishful thinking this person is playing!" Yu Yue saw Liu Zhen's eyes falling on his hand, and quickly let go of the hand holding Liu Zhen's sleeve, "Today he brought a lot of peers, it is estimated that it is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

"I know, winning is definitely going to win, after all, our restaurant has just improved a little, and this time is also a good opportunity to give our restaurant mayor a good reputation. Liu Zhen stroked the wrinkles on his clothes, and looked at Yu Yue intently.

Yu Yue touched her nose, "Okay, you go and prepare." ”

"Good. ”

Liu Zhen went into the back kitchen, and at this time Mao Liu trotted all the way over, "Liu Zhen! The people outside are asking you to go out, saying that you don't dare to fight if you are not afraid! You said that these grandsons, how can they force people to go into battle so much!"

"It's okay, I'm going out. Liu Zhen smiled faintly, thinking in his heart, these people are urging so urgently, I'm afraid they are really prepared, and it is better to pay more attention to it.

Simply washing his hands, Liu Zhen directly put on the chef's robe, and recently ran around, Liu Zhen lost some weight, his handsome facial features were more conspicuous, and his eyes were bigger.

Liu Zhen glanced at Mao Liu and said, "I'm out." ”

Mao Liu was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Zhen and said, "Liu Zhen, did you say that you have had plastic surgery recently? Why do you look more and more like a serious chef?"

Not to mention, the current Liu Zhen just casually stood there, in addition to concentration, there was something indescribable in his eyes, and Mao Liu felt more and more that Liu Zhen had changed a lot.

Liu Zhen heard Mao Liu's words, and touched the back of his head, "Is there one?" Maybe I've been too busy lately...... "I've really lost weight again?" It seems that I still have to make up for my body recently, Liu Zhen thought to himself.

As soon as they walked into the hall, everyone immediately saw Liu Zhen, just now everyone inadvertently ignored this unattractive young man, but now, Liu Zhen was wearing the chef clothes of Xianyu Shengshi, and everyone recognized it almost immediately, this is the chef of Xianyu Shengshi!

"Look!

"That's right, I really dare to fight! It seems that the head chef of Xianyu Shengshi is not a rat-headed rat brain!"

……

"Everyone, be quiet. A thick middle-aged man's voice came from the side of the hall, Liu Zhen turned his head to look over, only to see a middle-aged man with a beard slowly walking out of the corner of the hall, wearing a dark horse coat, linen pants, steady steps, all the way to make people feel a floating immortal temperament.

Presumably this is Zhang Junwei? Liu Zhenzhen thought.

"I have admired the name for a long time, under Zhang Junwei, I have heard the reputation of the chef of Xianyu Shengshi for a long time, and now I dare to come to ask for advice, and by the way, I will learn about cooking, and I hope that the chef of Xianyu Shengshi will forgive me. Zhang Junwei walked in front of Liu Zhen and looked at Liu Zhen.

Liu Zhen looked at Zhang Junwei, this person's eyes were solemn, and there was a clear surprise between his eyebrows, it seemed that he was a person with cultivation, Liu Zhen arched his hand and said, "You have seen outside, the junior has heard of Chef Zhang for a long time, and I didn't have the opportunity to meet for a while, but I didn't expect that the first time we met today was in the ring." ”

"Hahaha! Zhang came here today to see Chef Liu's craftsmanship, and I hope Chef Liu will not show mercy!" Zhang Junwei smiled and stretched out his arms, at this time, the person behind him hurriedly stretched out his clothes, put on a chef's uniform for Zhang Junwei, and another person picked up the chef's hat, and then carefully put it on for Zhang Junwei.

Liu Zhen bowed his hand and said, "You're welcome." ”

Putting on the chef's hat with his own hands, Liu Zhen looked at his ring facilities, and there were all kinds of pots and pans.

The people next to him saw that the two champions were ready, and they retreated with great eyes, freeing up a large open space for Zhang Junwei and Liu Zhen.

Everyone was still whispering quietly at first, but then they saw the two of them wearing chef hats, and the game was about to start, and they all silently shut up.

Liu Zhen looked at the ingredients on the table, chicken, duck and fish, and all kinds of seafood, Liu Zhen frowned, and was thinking about what to cook, when he heard an exclamation from the audience, and then one after another applause and cheers came into his ears.

Turning his head to look, Liu Zhen saw that Zhang Junwei was dealing with a mandarin fish, only to see that Zhang Junwei seemed to have a knife in his hand, and it seemed that there was no knife, only to see that the mandarin fish was cut open in a misty silver light, and the internal organs were taken out in an instant, and the glittering fish scales were neatly arranged on the cutting board in a dazzling mess.

I saw Zhang Junwei put the fish scales into the trash can under the table, and the knife in his hand turned over again, and within ten seconds, on the cutting board lined with fish scales just now, there were neatly arranged fish bones.

Liu Zhen's face did not change, and he really admired this person's knife work in his heart.

It seems that Zhang Junwei is going to make fish.

Liu Zhen thought in his heart, it is said that Zhang Junwei is good at some palace dishes, in short, it is an ingredient that ordinary people can't afford, but this mandarin fish is a common thing, I don't know why, Liu Zhen always feels that Zhang Junwei seems to be making some calculations.

Let's wait and see, Liu Zhen thought, looking at the whole duck on the table, Liu Zhen picked up the knife.

Everyone saw Liu Zhen's knife turn over, and with the light flashing, a duck was slapped directly on the table, and then they saw that the knife in Liu Zhen's hand was like playing a Rubik's cube, turning over and over in Liu Zhen's finger movements, and when everyone looked at it, they found that a whole duck had been cut into pieces!

Only those who are closer to Liu Zhen can see that the meat of the duck is neatly cut by Liu Zhen, and it is cut one by one according to the texture of the duck meat, and stacked together.

Liu Zhen chopped the duck, put it in a bowl piled with ice cubes, froze it, and then began to process the condiments.

Cut the garlic cloves, green onions, and then prepare star anise, cinnamon, and ginger slices, and then Liu Zhen poured oil into the pot, heated the hot oil, and poured the condiments just prepared into the pot.

Just when Liu Zhen was heating the pot, Zhang Junwei also started to fire.

I saw Zhang Junwei soak the fish he had just processed in cooking wine and vinegar to remove the fishy smell.

This mandarin fish is still very particular about cutting, I saw Zhang Junwei cut the diamond-shaped pattern on the fish meat with a knife, and cut it diagonally, the flower shape is obviously beautiful, and the fish skin cannot be cut off, and it is completely connected to the fish skin.

Then everyone saw Zhang Junwei use skillful techniques to pat corn starch on the gaps of the fish head and body, including the fish skin and fish tail, and then shake off the excess corn starch, and the whole fish was processed.

The oil boiled in the pot, Zhang Junwei put the processed fish into the pot, and then he heard a string of crackling sounds, and the mandarin fish was fried golden color, which looked very good-looking.

A burst of fragrance came, Liu Zhen heard it, but guessed that this Zhang Junwei was actually a "squirrel mandarin fish"!

Obviously, it is better at some high-end dishes, why do you make home-cooked dishes like "squirrel mandarin fish"?

Liu Zhen was a little suspicious in his heart, but he didn't stop in his hand.

After stir-frying all the condiments, put in the duck pieces that have just been chilled in the ice cubes for a while, and fry them separately in the pan for a while, until the taste of the duck meat becomes soft and the fishy smell of the duck itself is removed.

After flipping over the duck meat, Liu Zhen took cooking wine, oyster sauce, and soy sauce into it, and suddenly, the fragrance was scattered, and everyone felt that saliva was about to flow to their necks.

At this time, Liu Zhen picked up a bottle of beer next to him, poured it directly on the duck meat that had just entered the pot, turned on the fire, and covered the pot.

This time is the most important time, whether you can upgrade the taste of the duck meat to the best state, it is in the control of this time.

Liu Zhen glanced at Zhang Junwei next to him, the other party seemed to be very leisurely, and had already begun to adjust the sauce.

I saw Zhang Junwei adding tomato paste, water, vinegar, salt, sugar, cornstarch to the pot to thicken, and then adding a lemon slice, Liu Zhen raised his eyebrows, it seems that Zhang Junwei has a hand.

After all, although the taste of the fish is gone, there is always some residual taste in the corners, which always makes people feel that the taste is not good, and with the addition of lemon slices, the fresh feeling directly acts with the fishy smell, making the fish in the mouth as fresh and natural as drinking lemonade.

Liu Zhen picked up the lid of the pot at this time, and the aroma of beer came to his face, seeing that the juice was almost done, Liu Zhen smelled the taste, and the dish was already completed.

Remove from the pot, and then put it on the plate, Liu Zhen has a plate of "beer duck" on the table!

Everyone smelled the fragrance, and an ordinary plate of beer duck could be made so fragrant!

At this moment, Zhang Junwei also stopped the spatula in his hand, turned off the fire, put the fish on a plate, and poured the sauce he had just adjusted, which was fragrant.

The two of them finished their own dishes almost at the same time.
