Chapter 692: The Battle of the Halberd

The soup and noodles spilled all over the ground, Wu Siyuan's eyes burst out with a touch of ruthlessness, and he shouted at Mu Zixi: "Mu Zixi, I will launch a halberd to you, do you dare to take it!" ”

As soon as he heard the word halberd, Mu Zixi's brows sank immediately, and Sikong Yao also frowned slightly, this Wu Siyuan actually launched a halberd eating halberd to Mu Zixi.

The so-called halberd is a means of adjudicating cooking, and when the fight in the culinary world cannot be resolved in a normal way, there will be a way to solve it through the halberd, that is, to use the cuisine to compete.

Wu Siyuan further provoked: "Mu Zixi, don't you dare!" ”

Mu Zixi gritted his teeth, he didn't dare, the reputation of this Gu Xuanfang was at home, plus he was also a seventy-sixth master on the cooking list, plus the theme of the halberd was decided by the initiator, with Mu Zixi's identity, it was natural to compare pastries, and if he compared pastries, Mu Zixi would naturally not be afraid.

However, despite this, Mu Zixi still hesitated, he was not afraid that his skills would be inferior, but he was afraid that the Juewei Crown would secretly cheat, if the Juewei Crown launched a full-scale attack and blocked the ingredients, then it would be difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, even if Mu Zixi's skills were good, he would be defeated.

Therefore, Mu Zixi hesitated.

Seeing that Mu Zixi didn't dare to take the halberd he initiated, Wu Siyuan provoked again: "Waste! You don't even dare to make pastries that you are best at, what kind of face do you have to stay in this inner courtyard! ”

Mu Zixi knew that Wu Siyuan was using the method of agitation, but he would not be fooled, he was not a person who would be carried away by anger, and he knew how difficult it would be to take over this halberd. He must be cautious and calm.

However, Mu Zixi was able to calm down, but the brothers in Gu Xuanfang couldn't calm down, and they were trampled on their heads, and they were all holding back the fire in their stomachs, and they all shouted that they wanted to fight with Wu Siyuan, which made Mu Zixi uneasy.

"Shut up!" Mu Zixi shouted, and looked up at Wu Siyuan again, he didn't understand that the brothers in Gu Xuanfang felt wronged in their hearts, but this battle was really dangerous.

If someone else initiates the halberd, Mu Zixi will take it without saying a word. Even if you know that your skills are not as good as others. That's also a frank loss, but the other party is the one who tastes the crown, so that's another matter.

Wu Siyuan snorted coldly and said, "Don't you dare? ”

Mu Zixi gritted his teeth. Let's be honest. He really didn't dare. He didn't dare to underestimate the means of the Absolute Taste Crown, but he was even more afraid, afraid that if he softened today. Even if the business of this Gu Xuanfang can continue, others will not come to patronize it.

At this moment, he is in a dilemma, Mu Zixi's heart is mixed, and he will die if he advances and retreats, so let it go!

"Than! This halberd is next for me Mu Zixi! Mu Zixi shouted, even if he lost, he couldn't lose his momentum.

The corners of Wu Siyuan's mouth raised a smile and said, "Okay! If you win, this Gu Xuan Fang will let you continue to drive, and we will pay you an additional piece of land of equivalent value, if you lose, then let this land out! ”

Mu Zixi shouted: "You should be accompanied!" ”

With Mu Zixi's order, this halberd was finalized, which lasted for three days, during which both sides prepared their own ingredients, and three days later, they were eaten in the cooking arena in the inner courtyard.

After Wu Siyuan left with his subordinates, Gu Xuanfang breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, this business can also be done, but I don't know how long it can be done.

Mu Zixi sighed, although he took the halberd, but he still felt that there was no score in his heart, and after arranging the work in the store, he thanked Sikong Yao and said, "Senior sister, thank you so much this time, I don't know what your name is?" ”

Sikong Yao grinned and said, "Where, I'm just a person who eats free lunch, my name is Sikong Yao." ”

"Sikong Yao? Okay, I remember, if there's anything you need my help with, just ask. "Mu Zixi is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and Sikong Yao has won it back for Gu Xuanfang in the past three days, and he understands it in his heart.

After a while, Mu Zixi asked again: "Anyway, didn't you join the cooking group?" ”

Sikong Yao shook his head, and was about to explain, but Mu Zixi said self-deprecatingly: "Don't worry, I don't want you to join our Gu Xuanfang, it is still unknown whether this Gu Xuanfang can survive, I will not harm you." It's just that I know some people who can help you refer. ”

Sikong Yao smiled and said, "Why are you so unconfident in yourself?" ”

Mu Zixi sighed and said: "You don't know, this Juewei Crown is the first cooking group in the inner courtyard, and it is arrogant and arrogant, but the family is big, and this financial strength is also unshakable, it is said that the cooking points in their hearts have accounted for forty percent of the total amount of the existing market. ”

Sikong Yao said disapprerovingly: "Haha, it's okay, I can't see it myself, if I am unlucky in the future, I deserve it, but I have a lot of confidence in Brother Mu, I believe that you will not lose to that Wu Siyuan." ”

Mu Zixi smiled reluctantly and said, "I hope so." ”

Sikong Yao encouraged again: "Don't be so discouraged, believe in yourself, you can win!" ”

Mu Zixi nodded, and cheered up again: "Yes, anyway, let's take one step at a time, Gu Xuanfang is still one day, I will not neglect the guests, if you want to eat in the past three days, come to me." ”

Sikong Yao said unceremoniously: "Okay, I'm not polite, since you said so, I'll come every day." ”

Mu Zixi also smiled self-deprecatingly: "If Gu Xuanfang can survive this catastrophe, in the future, you Sikong Yao will be the guest of honor of our Gu Xuanfang, as long as Gu Xuanfang is in one day, you will not starve to death!" ”

"Hey, then I didn't rub an iron rice bowl." Sikong Yao grinned, she was not a twisted person, and she knew that Mu Zixi was not saying polite words, and when interacting with such a person, that is, to be sincere, since he said so, Sikong Yao was definitely not polite: "My appetite is very big, I can't eat enough for a bowl of noodles, what else do you have to eat?" ”

Mu Zixi nodded and said, "How about a dragon copy?" ”

The so-called copying hand, in fact, is also the wonton, copying the hand is the name of the Sichuan area, while Shandong is called the dumpling, and Guangdong is called wonton.

Wontons were originally used as sacrificial food by the people, and later became street food, according to the Song Dynasty "Wulin Old Things" records: "Enjoy the first to use wontons, there is a proverb of 'winter wontons, New Year's dumplings'."

Your family seeks curiosity, and there are more than ten colors in one vessel, which is called 'Baiwei Glutton'". In fact, after the Southern Song Dynasty, wonton blunt has long been introduced into the market, and it was one of the delights at that time.

As early as the Song Dynasty, copying hands is a well-known food, every winter solstice, the town shop is closed, each family wraps wontons to worship their ancestors, and the whole family and children share the sacrificial wontons.

There is also a plate of sacrificial wontons from rich and noble families, with more than ten kinds of fillings, which are called: "Baiwei wontons".

Later, in the Southern Song Dynasty, wontons began to be introduced into the market, copying this snack, regardless of the north and south, east and west, there are famous foods in the whole country, such as Tianjin's hammer chicken wonton, Huzhou's big wonton, Shaoxing's shrimp steamed wonton, Wuxi Wang Xingji wonton, Guangzhou's fish wonton, Sichuan Chengdu Longchaoshou, Chongqing Wu Zhaoshou, Wenjiang Cheng Zhaoshou, Neijiang chicken minced hand, Wanxian Haibao noodles, etc., the popularity is quite high.

Sikong Yao responded: "Cheng, then let's have one, plus another crab roe xiaolongbao, I saw it just now, hehe." ”

Mu Zixi shrugged and smiled, this Sikong Yao is really welcome, crab roe xiaolongbao is Gu Xuanfang's signature dish, a hundred cooking points, Sikong Yao's appetite is really not small.

However, the more presumptuous Sikong Yao is, it shows that she is a sincere person, and Mu Zixi is not stingy, this dragon copy hand and crab roe xiaolongbao are all given to her.

Mu Zixi said proudly: "This hand-making skin is made of high-grade flour and a little ingredients, kneaded slowly, and rolled into a translucent shape as thin as paper and as fine as silk. The meat filling is delicate and smooth, mellow and delicious. The original soup of Long Zhaoshou is made of several parts of the meat of chicken, duck and pig, which is simmered and simmered slowly, and the original soup is white, thick and fragrant. ”

Sikong Yao took the soup spoon, put the clear soup in the bowl into the water, and held a few wontons, like a fat doll wrapped in a gauze dress, and a few chives with a touch of verdant, light is the theme of copying, but it does not mean that the soup has no taste.

It is precisely because of the simplicity that in addition to the taste, texture, appearance, and color of the soup itself, the soup base must not be taken lightly, and must be properly matched, and the soup base must be stewed with chicken, pork bones and earth fish, which must be clear and clear, and the fresh fragrance can highlight the color and taste of the wonton and noodles.

Often, some handicraft shops do not pay attention to soup making, and there are many floating objects in the soup, which gives customers a bad sensory impression. When making soup, the egg white should be stirred with water, dripped into the soup in batches, net the sundries, and then removed, "the soup is expensive and clear, the filling is expensive and delicate" The ancients have already summarized and cannot be ignored.

First tasted a copy, it was really thin skin and tender filling, with the fat three thin seven proportions of the knife back to pound the stuffing made of pork, and even mixed with a little rich flavor of beef, without losing the smooth taste at the same time, but also added a touch of domineering aftertaste, it is really amazing.

There are four main points in this copy, which are often the most common mistakes for beginners, one is that the skin is too thick and lacks a sense of softness: the second is that the pork in the filling is not chopped enough, the meat is too rough, or the fascia of the meat is not exhausted; The third is that too little water is added to the filling, and the stirring is not enough, so that the water content in the filling is less and the meat is too dense; Fourth, the filling is not full enough, and the upper and lower skins are adhesion, which makes the dough not easy to cook and soft.

And Gu Xuanfang's copyists do not commit the above four points at all, the skin is thin and the filling is tender, smooth and fragrant, the soup is thick and white, and the mood has become much better when eating.

Mu Zixi looked at Sikong Yao's satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Come, try this crab roe xiaolongbao again!" (To be continued......)
