With a recipe for 'Taibai Sauce Meat' in his pocket, Liu Mang said goodbye to Li Qiushui and returned upstairs.

"Chef, you're back. Seeing Liu Mang, Shan Jian, who was busy in the kitchen, put down the kitchen knife in his hand and greeted him.

"Well, what about Lin Xiao? Didn't he say that he arrived early in the morning?" Liu Mang put down his backpack and asked.

"Mr. Lin is in the kitchenette. Shan Jian replied.

"Okay, you're busy, I'll go find Lin Xiao. ”

Liu Mang walked to the small kitchen behind him to develop dishes for himself, Lin Xiao was busy in front of the stove with an apron, and a girl wearing a black leather coat, long hair shawl, and a glass of red wine in her hand stood next to him.

"Ahem!" Liu Mang coughed.

"Brother Liu, you're back. Hearing the cough, Lin Xiao turned his head: "Didn't you say that if you are ready, call me, I will pick you up." ”

"No, you can just be busy. ”

"This woman next to me, I don't need to introduce you anymore. ”

"Hello, Miss Gu. ”

The girl accompanying Lin Xiao was Gu Qianyao, Liu Mang had met her once before when she was in the United States.

"Master Liu Mang, long time no see. Gu Qianyao walked over with a smile and stretched out her hand.

"I haven't eaten yet. Lin Xiao used a colander to scoop the stewed meat pieces in the pot onto the cutting board: "It just so happens that today I will cook and try my skills." ”

"I've eaten it, but it doesn't matter if I eat some more. ”

Liu Mang had already eaten at Li Qiushui's, but he and Li Qiushui were still very restrained, and they patronized the conversation, so they didn't eat at all.

"Okay, you sit down first, just the last two dishes, and start the meal immediately. Lin Xiao put the pieces of meat on the cutting board into a basin filled with ice water, took a small bowl, and added glutinous chili peppers, sugar, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, chopped green onions, and garlic paste in turn to mix into dipping water.

"You're going to make 'Li Zhuang White Meat', I haven't eaten this dish for a long time. ”

"Well, I haven't cooked for a while, and I'm afraid that my knife skills will be unfamiliar, so I deliberately picked a more difficult dish to practice. Lin Xiao replied.

Lizhuang white meat, the full name is "Lizhuang knife mouth garlic white meat", is a dish spread in Lizhuang, a famous historical and cultural town in Yibin, Bashu.

It is made of Changbai mountain boar with thin skin and tender meat, appropriate ratio of fat and lean, and a variety of sauces, which has the characteristics of fragrant and refreshing, fat but not greasy, chewing and slag.

The approximate method is to scrape and wash the "two-knife meat" and put the meat in the pot with cold water. During the boiling process, the blood floating on the surface of the water should be removed frequently, and the water temperature should be maintained at 90 degrees Celsius, that is, cold water should be added when the water is boiling, so that the meat can be heated evenly from the outside to the inside. Cook for about 30 minutes, stab the meat with a bamboo skewer and no blood comes out, then scoop up the meat and slice it, dip it in the prepared water and eat.

The method is not complicated, you only need to master the heat with dim sum, but the slicing is very testing knife skills, and it is extremely difficult for chefs who have not been honed for a long time to slice meat that meets the requirements.

The thickness of each slice can reach 20 to 30 cm, 15 to 20 cm, and only 1 to 2 mm thick.

"Brother Lin, are you ready to go to France to participate in the Chef Competition?"

"It's all ready, I've got all the equipment to be packed into containers, and it's almost time to get to France. Lin Xiao took a clean towel and carefully wiped the moisture on the meat pieces: "By the way, let's go?"

According to the rules of the World Chef Competition, contestants can bring three assistants to participate together.

"Yang Yan is going to give birth, Xiao Wu will definitely not be able to go, I am going to call Shang Shan Jian, as for the other person, what do you think of Zhu Daming?"

Shan Jian was born in the white case at first, and then transferred to the red case. This aspect can complement Liu Mang. As for Zhu Daming, his sword skills and heat are good, and there is no problem in fighting.

"Zhu Daming, this person is good in all aspects, but he is also very mediocre in all aspects. Lin Xiao thought for a moment and replied.

"Is there a better option?"

Zhu Daming is not the best candidate in Liu Mang's mind, in addition to the reason Lin Xiao said, there is another reason that after they leave, there can't be a trustworthy person upstairs.

"I recommend you personally, what do you think?"

"Who?"

"Your old acquaintance, He Donglin. ”

"He Donglin, isn't it? He wants to give me a hand and participate in the World Chef Competition?" Liu Mang was a little unconvinced.

He Donglin is not only a brilliant sword, but also has superb cooking skills. He is also very forbearing, but also very patient and persevering.

At that time, at the Huaxia Chef Competition, He Donglin made a 'eggplant', which made all the judges feel amazing. And for this dish, he did not hesitate to spend a whole ten years, such perseverance, even Liu Mang had to bow down.

If He Donglin went to participate in the World Chef God Competition in person, Liu Mang would take it for granted, but it was obviously impossible for him to join his team.

"Of course it's true, he called me the day before yesterday in person. ”

"As long as he comes, of course I welcome him with both hands! It has always been an honor to work with such talented people as you. ”

"Invisible sycophants are the deadliest, and when you say that, I feel a little floating. Lin Xiao smiled a little smugly.

"Honestly, I've never lied. ”

"Hey......

Next, Lin Xiao spread a clean towel on the cutting board, placed the meat pieces on the towel to prevent slipping when cutting with the knife, and then picked up a special wide-bladed long knife and started the knife from the pork skin.

When making 'Li Zhuang White Meat', the chef has to concentrate a lot, almost by feeling, because if you are not careful, the meat will not only be unevenly thick, but even cracked, and you have to start from scratch.

"Sure enough, the hand is raw!" The first slice of pork under the film, Lin Xiao picked it up and looked at it, shaking his head again and again.

"It's not bad, but I used too much force, you are a little nervous when you see me next to you. Liu Mang quipped.

"Come again!" Lin Xiao pursed his lips, and the blade in his hand exerted force again, slicing another piece of meat from the pork piece.

"Not bad!" Liu Mang picked up one end of the meat slice with chopsticks and brought it to his eyes to take a look. Then with a slight flick of the wrist, the meat slices are rolled into a translucent cylinder on the tip of the chopsticks.

Dip it into the dipping sauce on the board and put it in your mouth to taste. The thin meat slices are full of strength, and the strong garlic flavor rushes to the nose, which perfectly synthesizes the faint greasy feeling of the meat slices, which is refreshing but not greasy, and the aftertaste is full of fragrance.

"Brother Liu, the 'steamed pork ribs with soy sauce' in the steamer are ready, you help me bring them out, and I will start the meal as soon as I finish cutting it. ”

"Okay. ”
