CH.122 Soup
"Mr. Marcus, don't worry too much. β
A woody voice rang out behind Marcus.
"Alas, Bayer, you are not in my place, and of course I don't know what I think. Marcus sighed, his brows furrowed, "Although the principal didn't give me a task, as the person in charge of the qualifying competition, of course I want to let Lanji have better results." β
"I'm sorry, Mr. Marcus, it's all my waywardness. Bayer bowed deeply.
"It's okay with you, and I don't want to, because this competition is dragging you down - you've already done more for the school. Marcus said in a deep voice.
Bayer knew that Marcus was comforting him, but he still felt guilty.
"By the way, I heard that you had a match with Catherine not long ago. Marcus asked curiously.
"That's right. 0:2, the loss is complete. Bayer shook his head.
"You didn't release water?" Marcus questioned.
"What's in it for me if I release water? Besides, Catherine's strength, you should know better than me. Bayer replied.
On the big screen, Catherine's kitchen knife dances on the cutting board, and the bell pepper is quickly sliced. She casually put it in the oil pan and fried it.
The water stains inside the bell pepper make a crackling sound when it comes into contact with the hot oil.
"I know, but she's been improving so fast lately. Marcus said.
"That's because she had to block, and the people chasing behind her followed too closely. β
"You mean Zheng Ke?" Marcus' eyes lit up.
If there is anything he cares about in the past six months, I am afraid it is to pull Zheng Ke over from Yuanyue.
"yes, but it's a shame that I didn't get a chance to fight him. Bayer sighed.
"It doesn't matter, isn't there still the-blue?"
"Ah, what about half a year? And it's hard to say how far he will be by then. I don't like to lose. β
When Marcus heard Bayer's words, a smile finally appeared on his face.
On the field, the two contestants were still busy cooking.
Que Zhengqing cut the dough into thin slices and gently put it into the oil pan to fry, and the rich fragrance quickly spread into the air.
"It smells so good. β
Catherine, who was standing behind the opposite console, looked up at Que Zhengqing with a look of surprise.
"Of course, this is my carefully cooked rice pot. Forget it, I'll tell you now, you don't understand either. Que Zhengqing snorted coldly.
"If you don't say it, forget it, someone will tell me when the game is over. Catherine glared at Que Zhengqing, and then lowered her head to cook her own ingredients.
"Ah...... Ahh
"Senior, what's wrong with you?" asked Kohei.
"No, my nose was a little itchy just now. I didn't expect Que Zhengqing to cook a pot, which is really rare. β
Xingping looked at the big screen again, Que Zhengqing had already fished out the golden dough sheet from the pot and put it on the plate on one side for later use.
Will you use a pot?
Xingping's interest was higher, and his attention was more focused on Que Zhengqing.
Catherine took the bell peppers, tenderloin and other ingredients out of the pan, gently placed them on a plate, and then brought out the soup stock she had prepared.
"What kind of dashi will it be?" said Kohei with interest.
"I don't know, it should be a clear soup or something, right? Catherine just used an egg to hang the batter, and the fried tenderloin is also better in color. It is more suitable with clear soup...... I guess it's beef consommΓ©. Zheng Ke speculated.
"I'm more inclined to fish stock, but it's clear that beef broth goes well with tenderloin. Kohei nodded as well.
At this time, Catherine opened the lid of the pot, and the soup stock inside also appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"This kind of broth, it's so clear, isn't it?"
"Yes, it's not an exaggeration to say it's crystal clear. β
"That kind of elegant feeling calms people's hearts. β
"I really want to take a sip gently, I guess it's very delicious. β
The spectators sitting in the stands sighed with emotion when they saw the clear soup in the pot.
"It's so beautiful, this pot of clear soup is estimated to take a long time, right?" Kohei was surprised.
Xiaolin Gentian patted Zheng Ke on the shoulder, "You kid, isn't this the broth you cooked before?"
Zheng Ke also shook his head helplessly, he didn't know how Catherine had made such a pot of broth.
Zheng Ke had boiled this kind of broth more than once before, and even prepared it once two days ago, but Catherine was still surprised when she brought out such a pot of broth.
Que Zhengqing heard the exclamations of the audience, and also looked at the big screen in astonishment, and the clear broth in the pot came into view.
He blinked, "Up...... How do you make soup?"
"Huh?" Catherine scratched her head, "I've seen Zheng Ke survive before, so I tried it." Well, it tastes really good. β
"Eh, Zheng Ke?" Que Zhengqing's eyes widened, glanced at the surrounding stands, and found Zheng Ke in the seating area of Yuanyue School Park.
"Senior, what did Sister Catherine learn from you?" asked Kohei in a low voice.
"It's not. I just did it in front of her. β
Zheng Ke stretched out his hands weakly, ordinary people definitely don't have this kind of insight, they can only say that Catherine is really too sensitive to cooking.
Catherine poured all the ingredients into the broth, and finally added starch to the pot and stirred.
The thick fragrance kept escaping, and she couldn't help but lick her lips herself.
"Right now...... The dish is about to be ready. Que Zhengqing, are you ready?" Catherine asked Que Zhengqing on the other side.
"If you do it fast, you can't win the game. Que Zhengqing retorted, lowered his head and continued to cook his own food.
Catherine chuckled, turned off the heat, and poured the freshly fried tenderloin into the pan and stirred evenly.
Fu Xiuyun looked at the big screen and speculated on the advantages and disadvantages of the two dishes, and it was difficult to choose for a while.
"It seems that you still have to taste it before you can make a judgment. Fu Xiuyun shook his head.
"Senior, does Que Zhengqing have a chance?" Hang Ziqi asked Fu Xiuyun with some uneasiness.
"What's the matter?, worried about him?" Fu Xiuyun said with a smile.
"Who...... Who worries about him. I just didn't want to be under too much pressure to ask that. Hang Ziqi explained.
'Whether he wins the game or not, it has nothing to do with your pressure. As I said before, the opponents are different, and I have different requirements for you. If he can win the game, it's a surprise, but you have to win the game, that's your bottom line. Fu Xiuyun advised.
"Yes. Hang Ziqi pouted, and her mood suddenly became bad.
"Having said that, Xiaoqing's performance this time is very good, and the use of 'realm' is just right. Of course, Catherine also used the 'realm' in order to deal with Xiaoqing, but she didn't do her best. β
Maybe there's a chance.
Fu Xiuyun's heart also inadvertently had a trace of expectation for Que Zhengqing.
