Chapter 239: The Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers
This pastry is really good, sweet and sour, sour and not toothy, sweet and not greasy, very appetizing.
With just one bite, Bai Xiaobai knew that the main ingredients used in this pastry were hawthorn and sour dates, and from the taste point of view, the materials were very exquisite.
Take a look at the packaging, it is actually Qishun Zhai hawthorn sour jujube cake in Shanghai.
Qishunzhai hawthorn sour jujube cake and Xinyuanzhai's osmanthus sour plum soup are all special delicacies of the old imperial capital, which still have a history of more than 100 years.
The taste lives up to its name.
Bai Xiaobai finished eating one, and took a piece of hawthorn sour jujube cake in his mouth, and went into the bathroom to eat while taking a shower.
By the time he finished washing, Gao Chao had already fallen asleep on the floor covered with an air conditioner, probably due to the fatigue of the journey, and he slept very deeply.
Bai Xiaobai didn't bother him, tiptoed to bed, opened the starting point client first, and watched the new work of the 'One Bullet' update.
After reading, rich and capricious, Bai Xiaobai waved his hand arrogantly, rewarded 10,000 starting coins, and then fell asleep early.
Early the next morning, Bai Xiaobai still opened for business as usual, Gao Chao went out early in the morning because he had something to do, and he didn't know what to do.
After finishing dinner in the morning, Bai Xiaobai dialed Guo Zhaohui's phone, originally planning to go to Haochuang Hotel as his motorcycle.
And Guo Zhaohui said on the phone that he had replaced the motorcycle with a taxi.
This is not unexpected.
Bai Xiaobai remembered the previous food exchange competition. Guo Zhaohui said that he planned to drive a taxi after his driver's license expired for two years, but he didn't expect him to change it so quickly.
When Guo Zhaohui drove a taxi to the door of Xiaobai Restaurant, it was half past nine in the morning.
Bai Xiaobai got into his car.
Guo Zhaohui greeted warmly, "Boss Bai, your business has been very good recently, I see people queuing up in your store every day." ”
Guo Zhaohui often drives by Chaotianmen, and this shop has a lot of pomp and circumstance as soon as the meal arrives, and the business is naturally very hot.
"It's okay, it's just a little busy. ”
Guo Zhaohui started the taxi and asked, "Boss Bai, where are you going today?"
Bai Xiaobai said directly: "Go to Haochuang Hotel." ”
Okay. Boss Bai, fasten your seatbelts. Guo Zhaohui reminded gently.
Along the way, Guo Zhaohui concentrated on driving, and rarely distracted himself and chatted privately with Bai Xiaobai.
Arrived at Haochuang Hotel, Bai Xiaobai paid the taxi money.
Guo Zhaohui said that he was running a car near the Haochuang Hotel, and he could come and pick him up at any time if necessary.
Bidding farewell to Guo Zhaohui, Bai Xiaobai tidied up his clothes and pants and walked straight into Haochuang Hotel.
As soon as I entered the hotel, I bumped into Mr. Chen.
"Boss Bai is here, quick, go to the kitchen, I'll introduce you. Mr. Chen warmly greeted Bai Xiaobai to the kitchen of Haochuang Hotel.
Bai Xiaobai followed Mr. Chen to the hotel kitchen.
The large kitchen covers a fairly wide area, the stove is lined up, and the range hood on the stove has not been wiped with any grease.
The floor is also bright and reflective, no worse than a small white restaurant.
All kinds of equipment, all kinds of ingredients, simply dizzying.
There were already more than a dozen cooks standing on the edge of the stove with their hands in their hands, all dressed in white chefs' uniforms, with their heads held high and full of spirit.
Mr. Chen cleared his throat and introduced to all the chefs, "Let me introduce you, this young man's name is Bai Xiaobai, and he is a foreign aid player I specially invited for this competition. ”
After Mr. Chen briefly introduced Bai Xiaobai, he introduced two other hotel internal participants to Bai Xiaobai.
Bai Xiaobai had already known in advance about Yang Huaizhong and Luo Yuan, who were competing with him this time, in the information and photos given by Mr. Peng before.
Yang Huaizhong is even more haggard and old than in the photo, in his fifties, his sideburns are gray after all, but he looks energetic, his spirit should be good, and he is relatively kind in terms of face.
As for Luo Yuan beside Yang Huaizhong, it looks almost the same as in the photo, but there is a slightly arrogant posture on his face, and he looks very hanging.
After Mr. Chen's introduction, Yang Huaizhong smiled and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Bai Xiaobai, "The first time we met, the cooperation was pleasant." ”
When they met for the first time, Bai Xiaobai was choked for a while and didn't know what to say, so he had to follow Yang Huaizhong's words and said, "Happy cooperation." ”
Luo Yuan also symbolically stretched out his hand to Bai Xiaobai, and said lukewarmly, "My name is Luo Yuan, please advise." ”
Bai Xiaobai also said, "Please advise!"
After getting to know each other, Mr. Chen said, "Lao Yang, you can learn from Master Xiaobai, and you can also let him taste the new products you make." ”
"Mr. Chen, I understand. After Yang Huaizhong finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Bai Xiaobai, "Master Xiaobai is a professional chef, which culinary school did he graduate from?"
"I didn't go to cooking school, I learned cooking from my dad as a child. ”
Yang Huaizhong continued to smile and said, "That is, from elementary school to adulthood, cooking skills must be very chatty, I don't know what Chef Xiaobai plans to do in this cooking competition? ”
Bai Xiaobai said straightly, "I haven't completely decided on the dishes for the competition, and I'm still in the process of deciding, so I can't do it." ”
looked at the young man in front of him, who was estimated to be less than twenty years old, and refused to cook.
Luo Yuan was also unceremoniously, with a faint contempt in his tone, "Master Xiaobai, if you don't cook, the knife worker can always show his hands, and give us a palm." ”
Having said that, there is no way back.
Bai Xiaobai knew that if he didn't show his hands, not only would his face be dull, but Mr. Chen would probably not be able to hang his face.
Think of it as a pre-game warm-up.
Bai Xiaobai looked at the dazzling array of ingredients in the kitchen and asked, "Mr. Chen, can I use the ingredients here?"
After all, it is not his own store, and Bai Xiaobai must obtain Mr. Chen's consent before he starts.
Mr. Chen said calmly, "Boss Bai, look, you can use the ingredients in the kitchen as you like." ”
"Good. After Bai Xiaobai finished speaking, he began to select ingredients.
He first chose two ingredients, one is cucumber and the other is white tofu.
"He's going to challenge the cucumber and Wensi tofu in the knife work, right?"
"It's okay with the cucumber, don't you want to cut this Wensi tofu without any real effort?" said a chef with a frown.
"This kid, forced to pretend to be a little big, as soon as he comes, he will challenge the knife work is the rarest, and if he doesn't cut it well, then there will be a look. One chef gloated secretly.
The main reason is that Bai Xiaobai is really too young, his actual age is 22, and he looks only nineteen to twenty years old, and it is indeed difficult to convince people in terms of age.
In the face of doubts, Bai Xiaobai didn't say much, and looked serious.
It is said that serious men are particularly handsome.
Bai Xiaobai is like this now.
In order to convince all the chefs on the scene, he really had to pretend to be a force today, but his force was not ordinarily big, it was very big.
Bai Xiaobai looked calm and asked Yang Huaizhong beside him, "Master Yang, do you have an eye patch?"
Yang Huaizhong said, "Yes, yes, you want to use it blindfolded?"
"Yes. ”
Bai Xiaobai simply said 'right', and immediately made a fuss among all the chefs.
Rao is Mr. Chen was present, but there was still a chef who couldn't help but whisper, "This kid is a little crazy, if you want to say that it is still possible to wear a cucumber, at his age, it is estimated that he can choke Wensi tofu when he opens his eyes, and he actually cuts it blindfolded?"
"Young man, the blood is strong, I don't know how thick the sky is, he cuts Wensi tofu, and it will melt in the water, and there must be different lengths and cuts. ”
Bai Xiaobai was already blindfolded, he picked up a kitchen knife and dipped a little water on the blades on both sides.
Then start to make the tofu slices into uniform small slices, each tofu slice is extremely thin, through the tofu flakes, you can even see the moon halo.
Cut the thin slices, put the middle fingers of the white index fingers together, gently press on the tofu slices, and start to shredd.
Bai Xiaobai never fights uncertain battles, and there must be capital waves.
He has a good talent himself, and he is willing to work hard the day after tomorrow, and he has practiced solid basic skills since he was a child.
Bang bang bang!
Even if it is a blindfolded cut Wensi tofu, it is also cut with ease.
All the chefs, including Luo Yuan and Yang Huaizhong, were completely shocked on the spot.
Whether the ingredients are cut well or not is related to whether the overheated stir-fry can be even, which is an important factor that directly affects the taste. Therefore, the first item in the assessment of chefs recruited by Haochuang Hotel is knife work.
After a difficult selection, the chefs who can stand out and have a place in the kitchen of Haochuang Hotel are not bad at knife work, but Bai Xiaobai's current performance, in their opinion, is really too rebellious, and it is difficult to look at it with common sense.
The knife work of this cut Wensi tofu is not as simple as arriving at home, it is simply a magic knife work!
Even Mr. Chen was confused, although he had eaten Bai Xiaobai's special lotus leaf lean porridge, but it was the first time to see the knife work display up close.
It's really cut so well and fast, I can't even see the knife clearly, I only see Bai Xiaobai's hand shaking, the whole process is smooth, and in a few breaths, Wensi Tofu is done.
The time has come for inspection.
Bai Xiaobai took off the blindfold, carefully put the shredded tofu into the bowl of water, and gently spread it out.
The scattered tofu shreds are as thin as cow's hair, rippling in the water like a goddess scattering flowers, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.
Luo Yuan couldn't help but take a pair of chopsticks and open the tofu shreds in the water, the fineness of the roots was the same, and none of them were cut off, no matter how fastidious he was, he couldn't find the slightest fault.
Yang Huaizhong saw the shredded tofu in the bowl of clear water, and said with a surprised expression, "It's actually a goddess scattering flowers." ”19610
