Chapter Ninety-Four: Winning the Competition
The two of them looked at each other with burning eyes, dividing the kitchen into two battlefields and processing the ingredients at the same time.
Liu Xing was very gorgeous when he cut vegetables, as if he was showing off his skills. With a shake of your hand, the ingredients are cut into equal sizes. After he had processed all the ingredients, Kong Xu had just processed half of the ingredients.
Liu Xing looked at Kong Xu with his arms crossed, and said with a smile: "Do you want me to help you, your speed is too slow." ”
"No, you don't."
Kong Xu was not affected by Liu Xing's words in the slightest, and his speed was still so steady. Of course, such slow work and meticulous work, the ingredients are handled no worse than Liu Xing.
Then the two of them began to make the first course - hot and sour shredded potatoes.
Liu Xing poured shredded potatoes into the pot and sprinkled starch while pouring cooking oil into the pot. After a dozen seconds, he added a little lard to it. Lard is made from the fat on the pig's body, and some flavor enhancement is added when stir-frying.
Guo Bing looked at the white thing, and some of the second monks were confused. There is no habit of boiling lard in the north, so he directly poured vegetable oil, waited until the oil temperature was raised, sprinkled a little pepper to taste, and added green onions, ginger and garlic in turn.
"Step 1, YES."
Liu Xing clenched his fists, poured shredded potatoes into the hot oil, and began to stir-fry. When the fragrance came out of the pot, Liu Xing added a small spoon of vinegar and shredded red pepper. At this time, the sour and hot shredded potatoes have been almost processed, and only the time to add seasoning remains.
Guo Bing stood outside the kitchen with his eyes open, sniffed the fragrance vigorously, licked his lips and asked, "Who do you think makes the dishes more delicious?" ”
Xie Shengyang said without hesitation: "Although Kong Xu's previous cooking tasted very good, I still believe that the master will definitely win." ”
Zhou Qi looked at Liu Xing's side face and said thoughtfully: "I also think Liu Xing can win, since I know him until now, I haven't seen him bet and lose." If Kong Xu didn't use the exclusive secret recipe for seasoning, he would lose one step to Liu Xing from the beginning with oil. ”
Guo Bing looked at Liu Xing for a while, and Kong Xu for a while, a little hesitant and didn't know who to support. In his opinion, the cooking skills of the two should be similar, and they can only look at the details.
At this moment, Liu Xing turned the pot upside down, beckoned to a few people, and said, "Try it." ”
Kong Xu also finished the sour and spicy shredded potatoes, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "I did it too." ”
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly picked up chopsticks and began to taste two sour and hot shredded potatoes. Kong Xu asked with some doubts: "Don't you taste the sour and hot potato shreds I made?" ”
Liu Xing looked confident, waved his hand and said, "Don't taste it, I will definitely win." ”
"Huh."
Kong Xu picked up the chopsticks and picked up the sour and hot potato shreds made by Liu Xing, put them in front of his eyes and looked at them carefully, and then put them in his mouth and chewed them. I saw that his chewing speed was getting slower and slower, the pupils in his eyes were getting bigger and bigger, and his face was full of disbelief.
"How did you do that?"
Liu Xing smiled and explained: "I was one step ahead of you when I first used oil, and that white solid is called lard, which has the effect of enhancing flavor." Later, when the heat is processed, you make a little mistake again, and the time to start the pot is too early.
I've already won one game, and if I win one more game, I'll win this contest. You've got to work hard, and if you can't win a single game, you'll be a bit ashamed of being a chef. ”
Kong Xu rolled up his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "There are two dishes left, I don't know who wins." ”
The next dish to be made is called braised pork, which is also one of Liu Xing's favorite dishes.
After several people solved the two plates of shredded potatoes, they looked forward to the next competition. How could Liu Xing spend all his energy on cooking in normal times, most of the time it was casual, and the taste was more than one grade worse than now.
Wu Yiyi's beautiful eyes looked at Liu Xing tightly, and the satisfaction was almost written on her face. Responsible, powerful in fists and feet, good at cooking, and a genius scholar, this kind of man has a few women who can resist his charm.
"Who do you think will win this competition?"
Everyone said, "It's hard to say. ”
Both of them have reached the pinnacle of their culinary skills, and only the most professional tasters can tell the difference between the two dishes. Anyway, these two dishes just gave them only one feeling, that is, delicious, both dishes are delicious.
While talking, the two of them finished the preliminary work and waited for the final pot. Because the braised pork needs to be stewed for too long, the two of them coincidentally handled the third course - scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
This dish can be made by almost everyone, and most of the time it tastes similar, but it is not easy to make it delicious. There is also a reason why the two chose this dish as a competition, only the most ordinary dishes can really test the level of the chef's cooking skills.
Liu Xing quipped while adjusting the eggs: "Old Kong, remember to be merciful to your subordinates for a while." ”
Guo Bing nodded convincingly, and said, "If nothing else, the victory of the game will have to be left until the braised pork is ready." ”
Wu Yiyi asked curiously, "Why do you say that?" ”
Guo Bing showed a trace of fear in his eyes, and explained in a low voice: "Once Liu Xing drank too much, he had to cook us a meal. There happened to be a dish called scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the taste and sourness made me feel sick to my stomach when I think about it now. ”
"No, Liu Xing is so good at cooking, how can a scrambled egg with tomatoes stump him." Wu Yiyi really couldn't figure it out, and she hadn't tasted it, and several people thought that Liu Xing would lose. No matter how unpalatable the scrambled eggs with tomatoes are, how unpalatable they will be.
Five minutes passed, and two plates of scrambled eggs with tomatoes were served at the same time. Except for Wu Yiyi and Xie Shengyang, everyone else avoided Liu Xing's dish, and didn't even want to take a look.
Liu Xing scratched his hair and said to Guo Bing, "Why don't you eat my fried vegetables?" ”
"Big brother, please spare me, I really can't enjoy your dishes." Guo Bing said vaguely.
Liu Xing gave himself a chopstick dish, put it in his mouth and tasted it, "There's nothing wrong with it, it tastes good, give me a face." ”
"Don't taste, don't taste." Guo Bing's head shook like a wave, and his body involuntarily shrank to the side.
Kong Xu took a chopstick tomato scrambled egg from Liu Xing, and a chopstick tomato scrambled egg made by himself. began to carefully taste the advantages and disadvantages of the two dishes, and after a long time, he opened his eyes sharply and looked at Liu Xing quietly.
"You won this competition."
"Win? I can't hear it wrong, Liu Xing's scrambled eggs with tomatoes actually won Chef Kong's. Zhou Qi lost his voice, this news was simply shocking. By the time he wanted to taste it, Liu Xing's scrambled eggs with tomatoes had already been divided between Wu Yiyi and Xie Shengyang.
At the same time, an excited voice came into Liu Xing's mind:
