Chapter 95: The Last Vote
Seeing that Chef Song finished showing off his skills, everyone in the audience looked at Sister Mu again, and they were a little speechless.
Nianfu held a pair of scissors and looked at the pot of prawns swimming alive in the clear water. It took a long time to pick one up, but it was too slippery to catch it, and the shrimp popped out of her hand with a bounce, and coincidentally shook her tail in the face, and then jumped back into the basin, swimming away proudly in a straight line.
Everyone laughed, and even Ouyang Kang couldn't stand it anymore, so he wanted to step forward to help, but he heard her ask weakly, "Is there ice?" ”
Rao is Song Siyuan was calm, and he frowned a little, can this girl cook?
"Give it to her!" Wu Hua saw that Nian Fu couldn't do it, but he was bold enough to let the guy get it immediately. That's it, it's one thing whether she can cook the shrimp or not, she was so worried before she lost it, it seems that it's all redundant!
Soon two large ice bricks were sent in the cold, and Nian Fu picked up a shrimp, recited a silent sentence of Amitabha, and placed twenty shrimp on top of the ice bricks.
Song Siyuan thought to himself, what is this for? But he didn't want to ask, but fortunately, Ouyang Mulan couldn't help but ask for him, "What is this for?" ”
"Reduce their activity." Sister Mu is not killing!
Cutting the ginger like a fly and preparing the ingredients, Song Siyuan stopped, because the opponent on the opposite side was still squatting in place, staring at the shrimp with wide eyes. At this speed, what if he doesn't wait? When the time comes, a dish of your own food will be ready and cooled, but there will still be people to eat?
"Okay?" Ouyang Mulan asked.
"We'll have to wait a while." Nian Fu also knew that his performance was terrible, and there must be many people laughing at the bottom. But what do you do, these shrimps are too lively. She can't do it.
Wait until the shrimp is almost frozen, and Nianfu can start. Pick up the shrimp whiskers and shrimp guns that trim off the stingers one by one. There are also shrimp eyes that are easily explosive, and then squeeze out the black shrimp brain from the head and neck, while paying attention to retaining the shrimp yellow and pulling out the shrimp intestines. If you don't smoke it clean, you have to ask Ouyang Mulan for a toothpick.
Insert it from the second internode of the shrimp's back and tail, gently squeeze and pick it again, and the sand sac connected to the black intestine is picked out.
"Really singled out!" Miss Ouyang burst out from the long silence, and excitedly picked up the gut to show everyone, "Look! She really picks sandbags! ”
It's too early to rejoice, isn't it? Wu Hua said with a cold face. "Being able to pick sandbags doesn't mean that you can do it, and it's not a competition to pick sandbags."
"Shopkeeper, you're not right." Ouyang Kang stood up unhappily, "This proves that you can pick out the sand bag before making shrimp, why don't you pick and choose?" ”
"But it's okay to eat this sand bag, why do you have to pick it?" There was an old diner in Hongxing Building who couldn't help but help.
Nianfu raised his head blankly, "The fish can be eaten without cutting the belly, can you eat it?" ”
Belch...... It's hard to relate. I want to vomit when I think about it.
"Yes, this shrimp without a sand bag is equivalent to a fish without a belly! If you can't eat the dead, you will be killed! But Miss Ouyang still wanted to draw a snake to add such a sentence, which made many people look at the shrimp in front of her. Some of them can't swallow anymore.
Even the guys around Song Siyuan glanced at those shrimps uncertainly, do they want to pick sandbags today? If you pick it, it proves that what you did before is wrong, and if you don't pick it, there will be a shadow of this psychology! And. None of them knew the girl's technique, and they didn't know if there was anything special about it.
The big apprentice said angrily. "Our grilled prawns from Hongxing Building can be eaten at the slightest fishy smell when they are served on the table? Do your part. ”
Be! The guys agreed in unison, and they were very imposing.
But Song Siyuan frowned slightly. He is not a legalistic person, of course, he knows that the shrimp will taste better if he picks the sand bag, but he gave up because it was too troublesome, so how did the girl do it?
Nianfu glanced at them, didn't speak, lowered his head and continued to pick up sandbags. Twenty shrimp lines were picked out, and she asked again, "Master Song, we are making grilled prawns today, right?" ”
Song Siyuan was a little strange, what did she mean by asking? Nodding.
Nianfu was confirmed, seemed to be relieved, took scissors to cut the back of the shrimp, then cut the shrimp meat, spread it flat one by one, and then slapped it loose with the back of the knife, and asked for some bamboo skewers to insert it from the belly of the shrimp.
Some people couldn't understand it, and they were still laughing there, "I have never seen anyone who cooks with bamboo skewers." ”
But Song Siyuan's expression was a little solemn, and he was still watching, but the girl raised her head and told him very seriously, "Master Song, you have to hurry up, I have a good bunch of them, and it will be done quickly." ”
Song Siyuan suddenly felt that his self-confidence was not so sufficient.
The snow-white and clear lard goes down to the hot pot, when it is hot, the ginger is stir-fried fragrant, and then the prawns are put in, stir-fried over high heat until the red oil is bright and slightly browned, put in the secret sauce and broth, simmer on low heat for four or five minutes, and then collect the juice with high heat, sprinkle the green onion when the pot is about to start, it is the signature grilled prawns of Hongxing Building.
A glutton doesn't need to taste it, just smells the aroma and praises, "Authentic!" I've eaten it for decades, and I can't go wrong. ”
Is that really right?
Song Siyuan watched the girl's movements attentively while cooking.
After she cut the prawns, she only added salt, cooking wine, light soy sauce, sugar and minced ginger and other simple ingredients to marinate them. Then cut a large amount of minced garlic, put some vegetable oil and mix it, and then carefully spread it on the back of the marinated shrimp, and put it one by one on the narrow iron box prepared in advance.
A layer of red-hot charcoal has been laid in the tin box, and the twenty shrimps are evenly arranged in a row. Before others realized it, Song Siyuan suddenly realized a very important thing! His eyes widened sharply, and he began to hope that the girl would make a mistake in what she was doing.
But to his disappointment, as the shrimp were neatly arranged, the girl just casually poured wine on the shrimp, and the flaming red charcoal fire immediately burst into a high flame, enveloping all the shrimp.
The diners below opened their mouths in amazement, but no one could speak.
All the ridicule had been put away, and all eyes were fixed on the half-foot-high fire, which had been burning evenly, as if it were just a normal thing.
Suddenly. Someone snorted lightly, it was Ouyang Mulan, who was the closest. Because she already smelled a very special aroma. She couldn't describe it, but she just felt that it was very fragrant. It's very tempting.
Immediately after, the aroma overflowed, and all the gaping mouths closed unconsciously. Because if you don't close it again, you'll drool!
Ouyang Dashao's proud eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, he dusted off the dust on his clothes that did not exist, and then looked at Nianfu, his eyes seemed to be looking at himself with pride.
But Nianfu stared at the fire tightly, not daring to slack off.
From an outsider's point of view, it was the girl who had a calm face. Just like the concentration and calmness of the legendary top master in the face of challenges, only Nian Fu cried in his heart, Nima cheated in front of the public is too hard!
How can there be such a high degree of liquor as Erguotou in this era? She just used the wine as a disguise, completely controlling the fire to grill the shrimp, okay? But strangely, she suddenly found that the fire she could manipulate was no longer a whole clump like before, but with twenty shrimp divided into a full twenty, the heat was more precisely controlled.
Could it be that the blessing of this fire god will also evolve? But this kind of evolution is so hard for the manipulator. Because you have to have your mind full focus, and the physical exertion of not doing anything is staggering.
Finally. When the aroma reached its strongest, Nian Fu only felt that his whole person was as if he had been overdrawn and hollowed out of it, and he was about to be unable to hold on.
Withdraw the fire!
The red flame that encased twenty shrimp quickly receded on the grill. Twenty golden and ruddy, shiny prawns were revealed.
Song Siyuan didn't speak, just stood there. But the back is slightly showing a bit of the decline of the end of the strong crossbow.
"Alright." The girl raised her hand and sprinkled a handful of green onions at random. The use of the residual heat after high heat to stimulate the fragrance of green onions, not only beautiful. It's even more appetizing.
That's good? Nianfu felt that it was a long time, but in fact, everyone saw that her operation was extremely fast, and some of them didn't enjoy it, why did it end?
The eldest disciple saw that Master's usually broad and calm shoulders moved a little unnaturally, and then opened his mouth in a low voice, "Let's invite twenty diners to come up and evaluate it." ”
"No, nineteen." Ouyang Kang stepped forward unceremoniously, "It's not easy to say that it will be a tie." Below, who is willing to come up? ”
The crowd below seemed to have been suddenly awakened, looking at the special grilled shrimp one by one, and scrambled to raise their hands.
"Me! Me, me, me! "Many people can't wait to get on stage, eager to taste what that fragrant grilled shrimp tastes like.
Ouyang Dashao came up with an idea, "Please be calm and don't get bored, in order to show fairness, it's better to randomly select guests from both sides of us, anyway, we don't know anyone in the capital, and we're not afraid that someone will cheat." ”
This kid, don't look like a human, it's really bad! Wu Hua secretly clenched his fists, as soon as he said this, it was equivalent to making them unable to choose regular customers who were good friends.
But what's wrong with you? Is it because you are afraid of losing? Wu Hua was suddenly startled, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back. Looking at the shrimp again, his gaze began to hesitate.
In fact, she was also worried about Nianfu, she forgot to taste it, how did the shrimp taste?
At this time, the first diner ordered by Ouyang Kang at random had already come to the stage, and this was also an old customer of Hongxing Building, a famous gluttony in the city.
Excitedly walked up to the stage, tasted the shrimp made by Nianfu, and suddenly stood on her side with bright eyes, "It's delicious!" There is no fishy smell, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, it is really delicious! ”
Nian Fu's heart in his throat and eyes suddenly settled.
Wu Hua hurriedly said, "Please try our side too?" ”
The man waved his hand and said, "I've eaten your shrimp for so many years, and I still don't know what it tastes like?" No need to try. ”
Wu Hua's face darkened, he gritted his teeth, didn't care about being ridiculed, and pointed to the diner who was good friends with their shop, and praised Song Siyuan when he smelled the fragrance.
The man was kind, and after coming to the stage, he first tasted the shrimp made by Song Siyuan, and then said unceremoniously, "This is the taste of authentic Hongxinglou grilled shrimp, and the others are still slightly inferior." ”
The big apprentice in the back lowered his head in shame, and the man came to Nianfu again and tried a skewer of her grilled shrimp. After a long time, he sighed, "This one is also the best, but I am used to the taste of Hongxing Building, so I still have to vote for his family." ”
This obvious favor ticket made Wu Hua's face stiffen, and Song Siyuan's hands behind his back also trembled.
Next, the eight people from Ouyang Kang all voted for them, and the eight people from Wu Hua also stood on their side.
Ouyang Mulan was not convinced, it was clear that Wu Hua was ordering all related households, which was obviously playing the favor card, which was unfair!
However, Nianfu pulled her, "There is also the last vote." She thought for a moment and stretched out her hand, "This is the last vote, so it's better to find him." (To be continued......)
