Chapter 11: Challenges (Part II)

"Isn't he going to give up?"

"This kid really doesn't know the height of the sky! Master Zhu's dish, I'm afraid that no one in the whole Jiangdong will make it!"

"Chefs rely on experience! Who has ever seen a hairy guy become a chef? I really don't know whether he lives or dies, and I don't know where Mr. Li found him!"

Seeing that Liu Mang was really ready to cook, the chefs around him started to talk. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well, it's a really good kitchen with all kinds of ingredients. Liu Mang didn't pay attention to everyone at all, but carefully picked up the ingredients.

Unlike the half-fist-sized Sydney pear used by the fat chef, the ingredient Liu Mang chose was a sand pear weighing more than one pound and nearly two pounds.

"Haha! the small one can't be carved, just choose a big one, boy, you're going to be opportunistic!" the fat chef laughed.

"Can it be done? If not, get out!" the crowd laughed.

Only Li Ruonan didn't squeak, I don't know why, she felt that this young man had an innate self-confidence, which was convincing.

Liu Mang walked to the board, picked up the kitchen knife on it, and gently stroked the blade, and a slight tingling sensation came from his fingertips.

"What a knife!" he exclaimed, flipping the handle of the knife to reveal two small letters on it - Muramasa.

Liu Mang pressed Sha Li on the board with his left hand, took a deep breath, and the kitchen knife in his right hand shook.

"So fast!" everyone exclaimed! Because Liu Mang's hands shook out of the shadow.

"Is he really cutting? Why can't you see the knife marks on the pears?

"Cut! How can anyone carve it like this? Or use a kitchen knife? He must be pretending to be forced, and we'll see how he makes a mess!"

At this time, Li Ruonan couldn't understand it, although she knew that Liu Mang had real materials, but she couldn't guess what he wanted to do at the moment.

"Is this finished? Why are pears still pears? They didn't move at all?" After seeing Liu Mang put down the kitchen knife and start to make a fire to boil the sugar liquid, everyone was very puzzled.

Soon, the sugar juice in the pot began to bubble, Liu Mang reached out and made a similar action on the top of the pot, and then lifted the top handle of the sand pear and put it in whole.

Just after shaking it a few times, he took out the sand pear and put it into a black stone plate.

"That's it?" asked the fat chef, his eyes wide, incredulous.

"It's done. Liu Mang nodded.

"What is this, boy, you're here to bury me on purpose!" the fat cook snarled with a grim face.

"Mr. Liu Mang, what are you doing here? Put a pear in the pot and roll it to make a dish? You are insulting the chef industry! Now I ask you to leave immediately!" Gu Feng sneered and directly ordered the eviction of customers.

"Fuck off! not yet!" the crowd shouted.

"Do you know? There is a flower in this world, it has a very long growth cycle, and it is not conspicuous before it opens, and it is very unsightly. But once it opens, even if it is only for a moment, everyone will be amazed by its beauty. ”

Liu Mang ignored everyone's ridicule, but walked up to Li Ruonan and said to himself.

"You're talking about epiphany, I've had the pleasure of seeing it, it's really beautiful, it's dizzying. ”

"Boy, don't talk about these god's babbling things! This flower has something to do with the dish you made today. The fat chef was furious.

"Of course it does. Liu Mang walked back to the dishes he cooked: "There are too many ordinary people in this world, and they will only appreciate the beauty of the epiphany, but who knows?

After Liu Mang finished speaking, he reached out and pinched the pear handle of Sha Li and twisted it!

"A flash in the pan, just for Veto!"

With the gentle twist of his fingers, the pear slowly rotated, and the layers of white petals slowly unfolded until they covered the entire disc!

There was a gasp all around, and everyone rubbed their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"How is this possible? How did you do it?" Li Ruonan screamed regardless of his image.

"It's very simple!" Liu Mang snapped his fingers: "I just applied the knife technique of the cucumber in the cloth, and then improved it a little, as long as I have a little brain, I will do it." ”

"Oh!" everyone realized.

The cucumber is a classic cold dish, when cutting, it is necessary to ensure that the whole cucumber can not be broken, and it can be pulled into a long strip by hand, and it will become a garment.

Most people here can do it, but it's unheard of to be able to cut it into such a traceless way, could it be that this young man's knife skills are so terrifying?

But if these people knew how Liu Mang practiced, then they would take it for granted.

Liu Mang's method of practicing knife skills was found by himself, and in order to get the maximum effect in the shortest time, he customized a kitchen knife by himself. The biggest difference between this kitchen knife and ordinary kitchen knives is its weight, which reaches a terrifying 10 kilograms.

Ordinary people use such a heavy kitchen knife, let alone cut vegetables, and their hands are sore when they hold it. But Liu Mang gritted his teeth and held on. , five hours a day of practice, uninterrupted for three years. This allows him to change to an ordinary kitchen knife and be as light as light and accurate as electricity.

"No, even if you can cut it out, how can the whole pear be frosted when it goes down into the syrup? The fat chef was not reconciled and asked again.

"You'll know if you taste it. Liu Mang smiled faintly.

Hearing him say this, the fat chef picked up a petal with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and immediately jumped up happily: "Haha! You lost!

"Really?" Li Ruonan also tasted it suspiciously, she didn't believe that Liu Mang would make such a low-level mistake.

"How can this be?" her brow furrowed, and the petals were really bitter in her mouth, and it seemed that she had indeed overdone it.

"Although your knife skills are good, but your experience in the stove is insufficient, young man, you are still a little tender!" the fat chef laughed happily again.

"Idiot, don't you know that there is a kind of sweetness, called bitterness and sweetness!?" Liu Mang scolded.

As his words fell, an unimaginable sweetness bloomed from the tongues of Li Ruonan and the fat chef at the same time.

"I'm not just cooking!" Liu Mang shook his index finger gently: "There is still life!"

"Life!" the fat chef pursed his mouth tightly, feeling the taste on the tip of his tongue, and his face was complicated. Because in this moment, he remembered his past.

A peasant boy born in a poor mountain village came to a bustling big city, endured insults and discrimination from others, started from the lowest level of kitchen workers, and shed a lot of hard sweat to get to where he is today.

"Bitter and sweet! What a bitter and sweet come! Master Liu Mang... I... I lost!"
