Chapter 286: The Power of a Kitchen Knife
It was a light blue trap, similar in style to the usual horror, the material was as crystal clear, and it reflected the bright light in the sun, and this trap looked more like an ornament.
However, when you see the blade of the catch, no one thinks so, because the blade is too thin, almost transparent, and too sharp, with a cold chill.
As soon as the cooking came out, Sen Sen's chill spread in all directions, causing the surrounding knives to begin to buzz and tremble, showing the power of the cooking.
"Good knife!" Qin Xiu looked at the knife and blurted out words of admiration.
"Ice Spirit Blade, this knife has followed me for more than ten years, I only use this knife to cook, it is my partner in the kitchen, it has accompanied me to defeat countless opponents!" Mrs. Xi touched the Ice Spirit Blade in her hand lovingly, and what he didn't finish was: You are about to become the next opponent to be defeated by me.
Qin Xiu listened to the other party's meaning and smiled noncommittally.
Mrs. Xi finished, her face was straight, she held the catch, and the momentum on her body began to rise.
Brush -
With a wave of his arm, he raised his catch and quickly cut towards the tofu on the cutting board.
I saw several ice-blue knives flashing, and her cutting arm had turned into an afterimage, cutting on the tofu at a rapid speed.
After three minutes, however, she stopped, and the whole piece of tofu on the cutting board did not change.
Qin Xiu kept staring at the other party's movements, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the expression on his face became a lot more serious, yes, the other party was the most sultry person he had ever met in cooking besides himself.
"What? Why hasn't anything changed?"
"It's fast, it's smart, and the result is pretending?"
"Nothing has changed, isn't that really funny?"
When the people around saw this, they shouted with dissatisfaction.
Among them, Zhao Fei, Li Yi, Yao Kun, the Lu brothers and sisters, and some of the people who saw it clearly changed their faces one after another.
"Her current sword skills ......" Zhao Fei stared at the piece of tofu in shock.
"Half a foot has stepped into the line of the Seven Star Chef," Li Yi said in a slightly astringent voice.
When the money shopkeeper heard the words around him, although he was full of confidence in her, he still said nervously: "This, Mrs. Xi-"
Mrs. Xi stretched out her hand to stop him from continuing, then raised her hand and stretched out a finger to gently push it on the whole piece of tofu.
Wow -
A soft sound seemed to be heard in my ears, and the whole piece of tofu was instantly toppled over, scattering into countless cubes the size of rice grains on the cutting board.
"Wow-" "That's amazing-"
The people around were in an uproar and let out exclamations one after another, no one thought that this seemingly intact piece of tofu was actually composed of countless fine particles, and if it wasn't pushed very gently, there was no difference at all.
The hand on his side trembled slightly, Qin Xiu took a deep breath, the other party was the strongest chef he had ever met, even Zhao Fei and Li Yi were much worse than each other, but what welled up in his heart was not fear, but a kind of excitement of meeting an opponent in chess!
That feeling of burning blood made him feel strange and novel, but also made him feel excited and intoxicated, it turned out that his life could not be a pool of stagnant water......
didn't pay attention to the eyes of the crowd, at this moment there was only one in his eyes: war!
Qin Xiu didn't pick up the catch and start cutting the tofu, but picked up the hen that was put aside, washed the whole chicken and cut it in half, and cleaned up the dirty blood residue inside the chicken shell.
Reserve the chicken skin, then pour an appropriate amount of water into the wok and bring to a boil over high heat.
As soon as the water boiled, Qin Xiu said that the chicken pieces were put in and burned, and then scooped up and washed. Then put it back into the wok, pour in an appropriate amount of water, cover the pot, and bring to a boil over high heat.
Then he picked up the catch with a calm face, reversed his wrist, pulled a knife flower, and the sharp knife flashed on the blade, his catch was very ordinary, completely different from the other party's 'Ice Spirit Ticket'.
The moment he picked up the catch, his hands were not trembling, and although he was very excited in his heart, he was very good at reining in his heart
Under the gaze of all the expectant or unoptimistic eyes, Qin Xiuwu moved the catch in his hand, peeled off the old skin of the tofu, and beat off the three raw edges.
Then the sharp knife seemed to penetrate the night, and suddenly lit up, like a fleeting meteor, with a bright light, in a trance, the knife seemed to cut through the air, at this moment, the usual knife training suddenly worked.
"W-"
With the sound of a knife cutting into the cutting board, Qin Xiu stopped his movements, and it took one minute and fifteen seconds!
Such a speed made the faces of many people present change, and they were half as fast as their opponents!
What happens to the finished product?
This was the doubt in everyone's minds, and everyone focused on the tofu on the chopping board.
"Huh, it's the same as Mrs. Xi just now, there is no change at all."
"Do you want to give it a gentle push?"
"It takes less time than Mrs. Xi......"
In Zhongrao Discussion China, Qin Xiu put the seemingly intact white tender tofu into a large transparent bowl of Zheng, which was filled with spiritual spring water
Wow -
As soon as the tofu entered the water, it was like a female scattered flower, splitting into countless slender tofu threads, one by one as slender as a hair, and as soft as fluff, floating in the spiritual spring water, but one was not broken, as if each one was equal in thickness except for the length.
His cutting method is to cut the tofu horizontally with 36 knives and 72 knives vertically, and the result is the most delicate tofu shreds.
Hiss -
The skirts took a breath, even if it was Mrs. Xi, the smile on her face was closed, and it became dignified, not to mention Zhao Fei and the others who were watching.
Cut the tofu into thin strips, put it in the spiritual spring water and gently shake it, blanching the yellow water and beany smell.
Remove the stems of the shiitake mushrooms, wash them and cut them into thin strips.
Winter bamboo shoots are peeled, washed, cooked and cut into thin strips.
Rinse the chicken breast with water, cook and cut into thin strips.
Golden ham is cooked and cut into thin strips.
Wash the lettuce leaves, blanch them with water and cut them into thin strips.
Qin Xiu methodically processed all the ingredients and cut them into shreds, as for everything around him, he completely ignored them, and those noisy discussions could not be heard by him at all
After processing the ingredients, half an hour later, he came to the place where the chicken soup was boiling, stretched out his hand and put it on the lid of the pot, the golden red yuan power in his hand surged, penetrated the lid of the pot into the chicken soup, and began to select the nutrients and aura contained in the hen and melt them into the soup Zheng
At the moment when Yuan Li poured out of Qin Xiu's hand, Zhu Fenghu's face changed greatly, he looked at Qin Xiu in the competition in shock, jumped up, and exclaimed: "Impossible! Isn't he a fifth-order cultivator? How long has it been, and in less than half a month, he has already advanced to the sixth order?"
Although Qin Xiu concealed his cultivation, but the moment Yuan Li was exposed, there were still many people who sensed his cultivation, among which Zhu Fenghu saw more thoroughly because of his Water Mirror Cloud Vision skills, and he could clearly see that he was in the middle of the sixth order.
These words once again set off a storm in the hearts of everyone.
"What's this, you can advance by eating in the store, what's so surprising. "It was Ai Ziyu who answered him, and I saw him looking at Zhu Fenghu with a look of 'you are really rare and weird', and the other diners in the restaurant did the same, with an expression of 'you are really uninformed'.
Zhu Fenghu choked, suffocated, and was stunned that he didn't hold back a word.
"Look, Qin Fuma has lifted the pot. I don't know who in the crowd shouted, which instantly made everyone who was originally noisy because of Qin Xiu's cultivation turn their eyes on the pot Zheng under Qin Xiu's hands
Qin Xiu cut off the conveyed Yuan Force, his fingers bent, pinched the head of the pot lid and lifted the lid of the pot.
Gollum coo-
The hot steam is steaming, the soup in the pot is constantly tumbling and bubbles, the chicken in the soup, the light yellow chicken skin, the wrapped meat is already white, and the light aroma begins to diffuse, which is the fragrance of chicken soup.
He fished out the chicken inside, and put it on an empty plate at will, don't look at this chicken seems to be very tender and delicious, in fact, there is no nutritional value, he has already picked out the nutrients and aura and other ingredients in the chicken, and melted them into the chicken soup Zheng
The next step is to take out the chicken fat, and then officially start making Wensi tofu, Qin Xiu thought in his heart, raised his eyes and looked at the opposite side, and happened to see that Mrs. Xi on the opposite side was putting the tofu into the fried oil pan and starting to fry the tofu granules.
A trace of curiosity flashed in Qin Xiu's eyes, this is to make fried tofu?
"Host, there are still twenty-six minutes left, are you sure you don't hurry up and make your own dishes?" reminded the brain system coldly.
Hearing this, Qin Xiu got rid of the rest of the distracting thoughts in his mind, put the mushrooms into a bowl, added chicken broth, and began to steam.
Put the pot on the fire, scoop in the chicken broth, wait until it boils, put in the shredded mushrooms, shredded winter bamboo shoots, shredded ham, shredded chicken, shredded green cabbage leaves, and add refined salt to burn
Then, he took another pot and put it on the fire, scooped in the chicken broth, fished out the shredded tofu in the spiritual spring water, and waited until the chicken broth boiled, and then put in the shredded tofu.
After doing this, he took out the soup that had been steamed in the basket, and then fished out the various ingredients from the first pot and put it into the soup
Then wait for the shredded tofu to float on the soup noodles, that is, scoop it up with a colander and put it into the soup bowl as well.
A bowl of tofu soup - Wensi tofu is made.
Qin Xiu let out a breath slowly, although it was the first time to make 'Wensi Tofu', it was obvious that he had succeeded.
Sure enough, his cooking skills have improved a lot, he thought to himself, lifted his eyelids again, and looked up at the other party, Mrs. Xi was also doing the final process, and put the tofu in the bowl into the plate, which looked like a golden egg fried rice from a distance.
At this moment, Mrs. Xi also looked up at him, the two glanced at each other, and Qin Qin said:
"I'm done!"
"Bell-"
With the sound of gongs and drums, the game officially ended, even though there was still a section before the incense stick was extinguished.
The money shopkeeper waved his hand, and immediately the second person carried a table to the middle of the drying road and spread a red tablecloth.
Qin Xiu complained in his heart, Taiyi Street should be regarded as a road, is it really good to occupy it like this?!
What Qin Xiu didn't know was that someone had ordered as early as three years ago that this street was forbidden to pass during the game, and those who wanted to pass by were either attracted by the game and stopped to stand around to watch, or took a detour, so that there were no passers-by at the scene.
Qin Xiu and Mrs. Xi supervised the food they had made on the table covered with red tablecloths, and the people around them were talking and guessing.
"Looking at these two dishes, which one do you want to eat more, or which one do you think is more appetizing?" Zhao Fei looked at the two dishes without blinking, and asked a few people around him.
"If you want a fragrance, I think Xi Furao is more intense, but if you want to show off, I still like Boss Qin's beauty. Yao Kun looked at the two dishes on the table, and used his mental power to scan the two dishes separately before replying.
"I'm definitely optimistic about Qin Gongzi, although the dishes made by Senior Xi are okay, I don't like it. Lu Qianrong said as a matter of course.
"You're judging by personal preference. Lu Ze said.
Lu Qianrong pursed her lips and did not refute his words.
"Lao Zhao, haven't you noticed? Senior Sister Xi made her signature dish, fried golden tofu, have you forgotten that the tofu made by Senior Sister Xi is recognized as unparalleled in the mainland! If the seventh son wants to win, it is difficult!" Li Yi sighed.
"Of course I do. Zhao Fei said calmly, looking like he had expected it a long time ago, "But don't forget, this game is more than knife work, you also saw it just now, when it comes to knife work, even if it is Senior Sister Xi, it is inferior to Qin Zi." ”
"Yes, but that only shows that the winning rate is only five or five points. Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses that he had thought about it, and then thought of the ultimate goal of this competition, he felt that it didn't matter what he won or lost.
While a few people were talking, Mrs. Xi and Qin Xiu came to the side of the two dishes, looking at the two dishes, Mrs. Xi picked up a bowl and spoon on the table, and said, "Let's try the fried golden tofu I made first." ”
Qin Xiu had no opinion, he also picked up a bowl and spoon, took two steps forward, and after Mrs. Xi, he stretched out the chopsticks in his hand to the delicacy on the plate that was suspected to be egg fried rice, and scooped a spoonful.
The golden cube particles, with a golden surface, look golden, seem to glow, exude a rich fragrance, with a hint of burnt fragrance, and a smell of fried tofu.
Qin Xiu looked at it, closed his eyes slightly, leaned close to the tip of his nose and sniffed, the rich fragrance penetrated into his nasal cavity, arousing his appetite for a while.
Feeling the fragrance, he opened his eyes and ate the tofu particles in the spoon into his mouth
The outside is charred and the inside is crispy, the surface of the tofu is fried until crispy, but the inside is soft and tender, very sweet and delicious.
"En?" Biting and biting, Qin Xiu paused, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he chewed a few more bites, with admiration on his face.
Swallowing the fried golden tofu in his mouth, Qin Xiu said: "This tofu seems to be different from ordinary tofu. ”
