With a confident smile on his face, Gui Xingquan stepped on the stage again and came to the area where the contestants were cooking. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Master, I have always believed that you are the true god of cooking. ”

A blue and white porcelain jar was taken out of the box by Gui Xingquan, and at the same time, various dried fruits, spiced dried seeds, and lion's mane mushrooms were taken out. These ingredients are essential for making this 'eggplant'.

Next, Gui Xingquan took another piece of chicken breast and smashed it with the back of a kitchen knife. The intention of this is to break the fibers in the chicken and make the chicken more tender.

Gui Xingquan smashed it and sprinkled salt on it to let the chicken taste in. Then cut the chicken into diced finger-sized pieces.

Put the pot on the stove, heat it up, add cold oil, and stir-fry the diced chicken. Wait until the diced chicken in the pot turns from red to white and changes color, immediately pour the chopped dried fruits, spiced dried seeds, and diced lion's mane mushrooms in turn.

"Nothing has changed! It's still the same as before. Liu Mang, who was on the judge's seat, stared at Gui Xingquan's actions on the stage, and was very surprised.

At that time, when He Donglin was making this 'eggplant', Liu Mang was also busy preparing his 'Northeast Stew', and he didn't notice how it was made at all.

However, after he went back, he deliberately looked at the video of the game, and he still remembered the general steps very clearly. Gui's current practice of exercising power is generally the same as He Donglin's original practice.

"Could it be that the difference is in the shredded eggplant you put in?"

The biggest secret of 'eggplant' is the pre-marinated shredded eggplant. It can be formed through various complicated processes such as pickling, drying, and soaking. Only after adding this shredded eggplant, the finished eggplant can be fragrant in the mouth, and the eggplant has the taste of eggplant without seeing it.

After the diced chicken is mixed with various condiments and stir-fried, Gui Xingquan pours in a spoonful of the chicken soup left over after making the 'chicken pith shoots', simmers in the pot over low heat for a while, and then turns on high heat to reduce the juice.

"It seems like a simple one. An audience member said.

"Simple, then you're wrong!" his companion sneered, "Did you see that little jar that Gui Xingquan took out just now? That's the key to the 'eggplant'." As for the current steps, it's just that after the dish is 99 percent complete, the finishing touches will be carried out!"

"What's in that jar? what's so special?"

"You must have not taken a good look at the last Chef Contest, right?" the companion pouted, "That jar contains shredded eggplant made with a secret recipe." It is said that it takes nine steaming and nine drying to complete, and it takes a year to complete. ”

"Oh my boy, it's going to take so long, aren't all the eggplants rotten?"

"OUT! The beauty of this dish is that you can't see eggplant! Otherwise, how can you surprise Grandma Liu!"

"Oh......"

"Well, it's a little different. With the help of the camera to zoom in, Liu Mang glanced at the shredded eggplant in the pot: "The color seems to be a little wrong." If I'm not mistaken, the color of the eggplant shredded that He Donglin took out last time was golden and brilliant. But now Gui Xingquan's eggplant is still purple, can't it be an ordinary eggplant?"

"Mr. Chef, judges, my 'eggplant' is finished. ”

The soup in the pot was drained, and Gui Xingquan put it into an ordinary porcelain bowl and said.

"Ahh

Probably because the name of this 'eggplant' is too big, he probably didn't expect it to be completed so quickly.

The camera pulls over, and in a porcelain bowl, small dices of dried fruits, diced chicken, lion's mane mushrooms and other ingredients are wrapped in a layer of sauce. Although it is eye-catching, there seems to be nothing particularly unusual.

"Can such a dish really convince Liu Mang?" everyone present was puzzled.

Next, the staff sent the 'eggplant' made by Gui Xingquan to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang sniffed: "Well, the aroma is right! The condiments are similar, and there is not much difference from the 'eggplant' made by He Donglin in the last Chef God Competition." ”

Gently scoop up a spoonful and put it in your mouth: "Huh, this tastes?"

After the dried fruit is fried, it is very crispy, and it crunchs and crunchs in the mouth. The chicken is very tender, and there is no tendon in it. The feeling of lion's mane mushroom is slippery, and when you bite into it, it is full of the deliciousness of chicken soup.

When these flavors dissipate in the mouth, the flavor of eggplant immediately follows, overshadowing the taste of all the accessories, and lingering on the teeth and cheeks.

Last time, He Donglin's 'eggplant', Liu Mang had eaten it. The biggest feeling is that it is delicious, but it lacks a trace of fireworks and human touch, and there is a little bit of deliberate and contrived feeling.

You must know that the gap between the top dishes is very small, and who can go to the chef competition, how many mediocre people can make the dishes that are not delicious.

If you want to win, you rely on the prominence of the slightest difference and the ultimate grasp of taste.

This is also the reason why most of the judges voted for Liu Mang's 'Northeast Stew', but not for 'Eggplant'.

But today's 'eggplant' dish of Gui Xingquan is actually more delicious than the one in He Donglin's competition.

The distinctive smell of eggplant lingers on the cheeks, making you feel like you are strolling through a vegetable garden in the early morning, and the smell of earth wafts through your nose.

"Can you tell me, how did you do it?" Liu Mang put down his chopsticks and asked.

"Master Liu Mang, you mean the eggplant in this 'eggplant', right?"

"That's right, the eggplant in 'Eggplant' is not the one your master put last time, and it is not even the kind in the Grand View Garden, but a completely new method. ”

"It's not the eggplant in the Grand View Garden, so can it still be called 'eggplant'?" As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.

"When my master went back, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with his dishes. This question bothered him until his hand was burned, and he didn't come up with it. Speaking of this, Gui Xingquan paused and lowered his eyes.

"How did Master He come up with it later?" asked Liu Mang.

"Later, my master was lying in the hospital bed, and one day he suddenly got up and took me to the kitchen. Then he told me about the current 'eggplant' recipe, and then announced that he would quit the culinary world and travel around. ”

"How long have you been marinating the eggplant in this 'eggplant'?"

Although this 'eggplant' is similar to the 'eggplant' dish in the Red Mansion, the taste is even higher, and it is a completely new dish. The difference lies in the fact that the shredded eggplant is very different.

"As the master instructed, I only took fresh eggplants, cut them into small strips, fried them in chicken fat, and then sealed them in a jar for a day, which was not as complicated as before. ”

"Did Master He Donglin say anything before leaving?"

"He said, I, He Donglin, am He Donglin, why do you want to study what bullshit red mansion dishes and drink the footwashing water that others have drunk?" Gui Xingquan hesitated for a moment and said.

"He Donglin is He Donglin?"

Liu Mang muttered a few times in his mouth, and laughed: "What a He Donglin!

"Master Liu Mang, what does my master mean by what he said?" Gui Xingquan looked confused.

"Your master has finally let go of the shackles in his heart and walked out of his own way! In other words, he is not the He Donglin who is obsessed with ancient recipes, but He Donglin who is trying to create his own delicacies!"

"Then Master Liu Mang, this 'eggplant'?"

"I admit defeat! If Master He had made the current 'eggplant' in the competition, then I would definitely not have won. ”

"Ah......h
