Chapter 40: Overcooked
Cao Lin made a joke that was not big or small, Bai Fengwan'er, and explained to him seriously.
For example, if you give me 20 minutes, I will add a little more vinegar, and if you give me two hours, I will have to add a little less vinegar, because if the time is too long, the sourness of the vinegar will slowly invade the innermost part of the cucumber, wrapping other condiments, causing the cucumber to be sour, and the taste will be affected. ”
Liu Yifan and Meng Yun on the stage nodded their heads, and Meng Yun covered the headset and whispered to Liu Yifan.
"Teacher Liu, now it seems that this Bai Feng is really a bit level, judging from her knife skills and knowledge of condiments, at least she is the most powerful player I have found so far. ”
Liu Yifan knew little about Chinese food, and asked suspiciously.
"Even if she can master all kinds of condiments very accurately, but only the most basic oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and only use cucumbers, I think it is still difficult to make a handy appetizer, right?"
Meng Yun disagreed with his statement, shook his head and corrected.
Don't forget, she also specially prepared a dish of chili oil, and used the finest chili powder, if you master the ratio of oil and chili powder, and then with salt, vinegar and other condiments, maybe this taste is really unusual. There are a lot of foods in our Chinese food that rely on condiments to excel, such as dumplings, buns, etc., and their taste is actually very light, and whether they are good or not depends on the mix of your sauce. ”
Liu Yifan nodded.
"Well, this idea is relatively novel, you reminded me that there are similar meals in Western food, such as vinegar dipping shrimp, mainly relying on the taste of vinegar to sublimate!"
The two discussed the condiments, and Cao Lin below began to interpret them one by one, occasionally mentioning the experience of a certain player, and occasionally talking about the food insights he knew, and the time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had arrived, and Cao Lin raised his hand and shouted loudly.
"When the time comes, please leave the console!"
Liu Yifan and Meng Yun glanced at each other, and Liu Yifan spoke first.
Now, please 882, 342, 483, 2341, 4562 who have not finished the work...... Wait for someone, get out of our kitchen!"
There was an uproar at the bottom, and before it started, more than a dozen people had already been eliminated, but in addition to sighing in their hearts, these people also had a little surprise, after all, for every person who left, they had one less competitor.
Liu Yifan was obviously very dissatisfied with these people, and was still yelling after driving them away.
"Two hours, two full hours can't finish your own work, how can this kind of person be worthy of being a chef, when you finish making lunch, everyone else will start to eat dinner!"
Cao Lin nodded and said with a smile to the rest of the people in the audience.
"Okay, now from the back to the front, come to the front desk in groups of two and two. ”
Not to mention that Cao Lin can be a chef for so many years, he knows that Meng Yun and Liu Yifan both want to taste Bai Feng's appetizing cucumbers first, so he changed the innocuous rules without authorization and directly let Bai Feng be the first to come up.
Bai Feng and a girl with glasses next door to her came to the stage with their own dishes.
Liu Yifan went to see the other girl first, she made a lion's head, and there were just three round ones in the plate, from the appearance, Bai Feng felt that this dish was decent, although it was not innovative, but it was also a qualified dish, of course, the specific taste still needs to be tasted before she can be clearer.
Liu Yifan simply looked at the lion's head, and then looked at the girl with his hands behind his back and blazing eyes.
"Do you think your lion's head is familiar?"
Even Meng Yun was a little surprised at this time, this lion's head was golden in color and looked fragrant, could it be unripe?
The girl was obviously very surprised, and replied without thinking,
"Cooked!"
Liu Yifan nodded, and then unexpectedly, cut one of the lion's heads in half with a knife, and everyone present was stunned, especially Cao Lin.
The soup in the lion's head is full of flavor and is strong, this is what fools know is cooked, obviously, Liu Yifan miscalculated, he started with a stern face, and now there are no steps down, obviously embarrassed.
Cao Lin was about to hand him a step, but who knew that Liu Yifan poked the cut lion's head with a knife, and continued to ask her coldly.
"Taste it yourself, are you ripe?"
Everyone was crazy now, even Bai Feng could see that this must be cooked, and said in his heart what kind of medicine was sold in this Liu Yifan's gourd, but Meng Yun seemed to see something strange at this time, he smiled, took a little bit with chopsticks, took a bite but subtly covered it with a handkerchief and spit it out.
Cao Lin also had a shallow taste, this woman was a little embarrassed, but she still took a small bite in Liu Yifan's scorching gaze, and then, she lowered her head and didn't speak.
"Is it cooked?"
"Cooked...... Overcooked......"
Bai Feng suddenly realized, but at the same time, his evaluation of Liu Yifan was a few points higher.
Liu Yifan was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer, and he poked the lion's head with a dining knife. Then he said with a solemn face.
"Why do you want to cook something that can be cooked in 30 minutes? Do you know what the extra hour and a half means? It means that your lion's head has been completely loose and deformed, and as long as I touch it lightly, it will collapse like tofu dregs! Such a lion head can only be eaten with a spoon!"
Bai Feng stuck out his tongue, and said in his heart that Liu Yifan not only had bright eyes, but also judged each food very accurately, his tongue was completely like a robot, no, it should be said that his eyes, when the lion's head was not opened, he had already judged how long this lion's head had been cooked, and it was simply a god-like existence.
Then he spoke again.
"Your painting is a lot of snakes, let me see your lack of confidence, because the time is too long, in fact, you can adjust the heat, keep simmering on a low heat, the effect is better than now, but you are worried that it is not fully cooked, but it continues until now. So I'm going to give NO!"
Meng Yun thought that Liu Yifan was just good at Western food, but after this dish, he realized that he underestimated Liu Yifan, and secretly said in his heart that he finally knew the gap between himself and the other party, and smiled at the girl.
"Little sister, don't be depressed, just be more confident in the future, come on, I'll give you NO first this time!"
Cao Lin smiled and spread his hands.
"Okay, the two judges have given NO, it seems that it doesn't matter if I give any answers, but I still want to give you a YES, although this lion's head is not good in the eyes of insiders, but from my taste, I still like it, at least the taste is very good, keep going!"
The girl bowed to the three teachers with a sad face, and then left very unwillingly.
