Chapter Seventy-Two: Interested in a Culinary Showdown?
"Eh, it's you......" Kohei Joichiro, who was shouted, was also slightly stunned, and then turned around and saw Li Xiaoran in surprise. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
For Li Xiaoran, who was pulled into the store by Kohei Chuangzhen and defeated him with food, and inspired his competitive spirit, Kohei Joichiro still remembers it more clearly.
"You're here?" Looking at Li Xiaoran, a strange look appeared on his face, and Kohei Joichiro looked at Li Xiaoran and said.
"I'm here to watch the World Dessert Cooking Competition, but are you also here to participate in the competition, Mr. Kohei?" Li Xiaoran asked Kohei Joichiro.
"Well, I'm not here to compete, I'm just cooking here...... But then again, the minimum qualification for staying at the Palace Hotel in New York, where the World Pastry Cooking Competition is located, must be three-star. With a hint of strangeness on his face, Kohei Joichiro looked at Li Xiaoran and asked.
After all, according to the strength shown by Li Xiaoran at the beginning, Kohei Joichiro didn't think he could reach the three-star level.
"Well, it's still far away, but thanks to the blessing of the master of the fourth palace, I can go in and watch." Li Xiaoran said.
When he said it, Li Xiaoran was also a little embarrassed, in unpleasant words, this was completely a backdoor.
"Kojiro Shinomiya? He's a great chef. With a sudden look on his face, Kohei Joichiro nodded.
"I heard that the manager of Kohei, have you also studied Yuanyue before?" Seeing the smile on Kohei Joichiro's face, Li Xiaoran smiled.
"Huh? That's true, but I didn't graduate from Farmoon. With a smile on his face, he nodded Kohei Joichiro and said.
"Didn't Kohei seniors graduate in the first place?" Slightly stunned, Li Xiaoran looked at Kohei Joichiro and said strangely.
"Well, when I was in Yuanyue, I didn't graduate, but dropped out of school to travel the world and see a wider world of cooking." Nodding, Kohei Joichiro said.
"You must know that the seniors of Dojima are very concerned about the seniors of Kohei." With a smile on his face, Li Xiaoran said.
"Really? But do you know that guy, Silver? Hearing Li Xiaoran's words, Kohei Joichiro couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
As for Li Xiaoran's knowledge of himself, Kohei Joichiro didn't show too much surprise, after all, Kohei Joichiro was a very famous chef in the world, and his introduction existed in various magazines and media.
However, as for Li Xiaoran's knowledge of Dojima Gin, Kohei Joichiro was very surprised.
"Dojima-senpai took good care of me when I was at the Far Moon Resort." Li Xiaoran nodded.
"Far Moon Resort? It's time for residential study! By the way, how about that guy? I heard that he lost to someone else in the autumn tryouts besides you! Kohei Joichiro said with a smile.
"That...... I didn't go to school in Yuanyue. Li Xiaoran shook his head after hearing this, smiled and said.
"Huh?" Kohei Joichiro's face couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"I think there are more places where I can learn cooking skills than the cooking skills I learned in the middle of the month." With a smile on his face, Li Xiaoran said to Kohei Joichiro.
After listening to Li Xiaoran's words, Kohei Joichiro couldn't help but feel a little interested: "If you didn't join the Far Moon, did you join the Far Moon Resort?" ”
"That's right, I studied cooking for a while under Chef Shane at the Far Moon Resort." Nodding, Li Xiaoran said.
"Chef Shane? That's right...... Do you have time and are you interested in having a drink? Kohei Joichiro said towards Li Xiaoran.
"I can't ask for it." With a smile on his face, Li Xiaoran nodded.
Among the restaurants......
"In other words, you still relied on your own skills to get Chef Shane's recognition?" After hearing Li Xiaoran's words, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and Kohei Joichiro said.
"That's true." Nodding slightly, Li Xiaoran said.
"That's right...... You're amazing! Chef Shane's requirements are very strict, but he is always in one place, and he will never understand his insignificance, only by looking at the outside world will he find his own insignificance, and that guy Chuangzhen has been in the Kohei restaurant since he was a child, and he has never met a peer who surpasses him, and now he should have understood this. With a hint of memory on his face, he smiled and said Kohei Joichiro.
"I'm interested in a cooking showdown." Suddenly turning his head, looking at Li Xiaoran's face with a hint of a smile, and taking a sip of wine, Kohei Joichiro raised his head and said.
"Eh, is that okay?" His eyes widened, and Li Xiaoran said in surprise.
"Of course...... Pooh, it's no problem to borrow the kitchen! Kohei Joichiro said with a smile.
"Cooking duel! Of course, no problem, so you can eat Kohei's food! With an excited look on his face, the store manager, who was called Pooh, hurriedly said loudly, for fear that Kohei Joichiro would regret it.
"Does Kohei Senpai know this store manager?" With a curious look on his face, Li Xiaoran looked at Kohei Joichiro.
This network is really wide, as if everyone knows it.
"Of course, I worked here for a long time many years ago." Kohei Joichiro said with a smile.
"That's right, I think the two best things I've done in my life are opening this restaurant, and the second is accepting Kohei in the first place!" With a smile on his face, the fifty-year-old store manager Pooh said with a big smile.
"If you're talking about the main ingredients, just use the ones you just bought." Kohei Joichiro pointed to the ingredients in the bag on the side and said to Li Xiaoran.
"No problem." Li Xiaoran nodded.
My hands are shaking with excitement!
It's really exciting to be able to compete with a chef of the level of Kohei Joichiro!
And this is the best cooking dueling I've met so far, even if the opponent doesn't show real strength.
"It's up to you to pick first." Kohei Joichiro looked at Li Xiaoran and said.
"Then you're welcome!" Without saying anything, knowing the gap between himself and Kohei Joichiro, Li Xiaoran began to check its ingredients.
Two servings of beef?
Looking at the main ingredients, Li Xiaoran picked a piece of beef.
In this way, the main ingredient has been decided - beef.
All that's left is how to cook the seasonings and garnishes of the beef.
Without the slightest politeness, looking at the ingredients in the ingredient belt, Li Xiaoran thought slightly for a moment, and then took away all the side dishes and seasonings needed for the cooking that had been formed in his mind, and the rest was the seasonings and side dishes that Kohei Joichiro needed.
"You're really welcome!" Looking at the ingredients that Li Xiaoran left for him, a smile appeared on his face, and Joichiro Kohei said.
But there was no other emotion.
After preparing the ingredients, under the leadership of the store manager Pooh, Li Xiaoran and Kohei Joichiro came to the back kitchen.
Without the slightest hesitation, Kohei Joichiro and Li Xiaoran had already begun to process the ingredients.
"It's so fast, without the slightest hesitation." Watching Kohei Joichiro's actions of handling the ingredients like a cloud, Li Xiaoran couldn't help but feel frightened.
Have you already figured out what kind of food to make?
Unlike when you decide what kind of food to make after looking at the ingredients, Kohei Joichiro can only use the leftover ingredients to make the dishes.
But even so, is it possible to think of what kind of food to make in such a short period of time?
This is not only a gap in cooking skills, but also a leading knowledge and experience in cooking.
If you're on your own, you'll probably have to work hard just to combine those dishes into one delicious dish.
But it's too late to think about it, the cooking duel has already begun, and I withdraw my eyes and devote myself to my own cooking.
Li Xiaoran's own cooking is very simple - tomato beef stew.
"But...... What kind of food is he cooking? Looking at Kohei Joichiro's movements, Li Xiaoran's face showed a look of doubt.
