The gong was already ringing in the arena, and Su Miao turned around and walked towards his cooking table.

Feng Erniu followed behind Su Miao, she had just been an apprentice for a short time, and she had not gone through systematic learning to come up with the King of Chef Competition, although she was specially trained by Cheng Tie, where could she. This time, her main responsibility is to prepare food, clean and peel the skin, etc., and even the work of cutting vegetables is not within her scope of responsibility, despite this, she is still very nervous, she has never been in the spotlight, she did not pay attention in the process of following Su Miao's turn, her left foot tripped over her right foot, "plopped", and fell in embarrassment!

Too suddenly, Feng Erniu was inconspicuous, but because of this fall, everyone looked at her, and for a while Feng Erniu became the focus of attention of the audience, and being stared at by these eyes was even more embarrassing than falling suddenly, Feng Erniu's heart was cold, and what embarrassed her even more was that the people in the audience commented on her:

"It's a girl! Can such a small girl be an assistant? ”

"It's too child's play, the assistant is also very important, if you think that the assistant is just a decoration in this kind of competition, then it is a big mistake, what is the point of getting such a small girl to make up the numbers!"

"That's it! The woman named 'Su Miao' didn't pay attention to Liang Dusai like this, and those who came from a small place dared to look down on the craftsmanship of our Liang Du people, and she had to suffer hard! In the past two years, Liang Dusai has become more and more unpleasant, anyone can come, a woman goes home unruly to teach her husband and children, but instead comes to rob her husband and son, it's too unusual! The man who said this must be a male counterpart.

Feng Erniu saw that the discussion was actually transferred from herself to the master, she felt guilty in her heart, and sat on the stage awkwardly, panicked and didn't know what to do, in the end, she was a little girl, she only cared about being uncomfortable, and she even forgot to stand up, and the people who heard the discussion said more and more excessively, and her eyes became more and more red.

Su Miao turned a deaf ear to all kinds of discussions, looked back at Feng Erniu, who was still sitting on the ground, raised her eyebrows, and asked suspiciously:

"What are you doing sitting on the ground? Is it comfortable to sit on the ground here? ”

Feng Erniu was stunned for a moment, looked at her calm expression as if she hadn't heard anything, stood up curtly, flattened her mouth, and said with a crying voice:

"Master, they're too good!"

Su Miao didn't answer, but looked at the other end of the stage, Dongpingmen was not affected, and his reaction to Feng Erniu's fall and the discussion under the stage was called "deaf", I saw him leading an assistant to stand in front of the cooking table, patiently cleaning the pots of sea crabs, and then putting all the fresh crabs into a large steamer made of bamboo, after all the crabs were steamed in the drawer, the crabs were taken out of the steamer, and the crab meat and crab roe were separated while the heat was not yet exhausted. Place them on two large porcelain plates. The freshly steamed crab meat is red and white, soft and elastic, tender and delicious, full of the fragrance of the ocean, carrying a refreshing burst of hot air, hooking the gluttonous worms in the human stomach and stirring people's index fingers.

Two other assistants from Dongpingmen stood quietly in front of two large baskets of hard, brightly colored lobsters, soaking the lobsters in a watery transparent liquid with their hands and feet, and then dismantling the raw lobsters and cutting them into fine pieces.

Dongpingmen's assistants are as taciturn, focused, serious, and methodical as Dongpingmen.

Yes, once standing in front of the cooking table, Dongpingmen seems to have changed a person, no longer as restrained and tense as before, and no longer has the gloomy feeling that he brought to people who will make people look at him very uncomfortable, standing in front of the cooking table at this time, he feels very comfortable at this time, as if he was born to exist here, if he does not exist in this industry, it will be a very regrettable thing, because he looks very calm in cooking, and every move is so leisurely, It's like flowing water. He quietly stared at his semi-finished product in front of him, his eyes were very soft, although it was still an expressionless face, Su Miao could still see the softness of his heart in the depths of his eyes, it was his heartfelt love for his profession, not love, his feelings would not be as warm as the bright sun, it was love, a deep, deep, soft, and beautiful love.

Su Miao looked at him in surprise, and her eyes naturally fell on his hands that were rectifying taro chips, at this time she found that Dongpingmen actually had a pair of very good-looking hands, although the hands were thin but slender, the ten fingers seemed to be carefully carved, the lines were beautiful, the nails were round, such a pair of hands sticking to the dampness of the water and the smoothness of the oil, which was very attractive to people's eyes.

Su Miao's eyes looking at him had changed from the initial curiosity to warmth at this time, she looked at him, the corners of her lips hooked, and she smiled.

"Why did Sister Miao keep staring at that man, is that man very handsome?" Chun Niang saw Su Miao standing in front of the cooking table and didn't start preparing fruits and vegetables, but kept tilting her head and staring at Dongpingmen intently, muttering suspiciously, and then looked at Dongpingmen curiously, but found that Dongpingmen, who had been very stiff since the start of the game, was actually cooking deliciously at this time, with a focused expression, free and easy manners, serious eyes, and a feeling of charm that people can't describe in words, her heart beat at that moment, her eyes straightened, and she sighed stumblingly, " It's quite handsome! ”

Su Chan and Su Xian were discussing Feng Erniu, Su Chan stared at Feng Erniu busy on the stage, but washing vegetables and preparing a basin was enough to make her scramble, frowned, and said unhappily:

"Feng Erniu can't do it, being so busy will only drag her feet!"

Su Xian clasped her hands on her chest, her curved moth eyebrows raised slightly, her fingers tapped her arms one after another, staring at the stage, but her words were shrill, sounding like a sarcastic:

"Feng Erniu was recommended by someone to be an assistant, someone actually played tricks with his future lady, there was a stupid assistant who was busy dragging his feet next to him, and it was much easier for someone to win."

When she heard this, "someone" in her mouth not only felt ashamed and empty, but was unusually calm, and said lightly:

"Miao'er is not a fool, she must have her own reasons for agreeing to let Feng Erniu be her assistant."

Su Xian said "hehe" twice, clasped her arms with both hands, turned her head to look at him, snorted contemptuously, and asked: "Do you dare to say that you are not selfish, and you want to win Miao'er by tricks to regain your dignity as a man?" ”

Aftertaste's cold eyes were full of contempt: "Why would I do that kind of thing?" ”

Su Xian was choked by his righteous rhetorical question, and pursed her lips unwillingly: "Then why do you want to use Feng Erniu, a layman and a little girl, to be Miao'er's assistant?" ”

It was rare for him to make a physical response, he spread his hands and replied very naturally: "Because Miao'er had no other better choice at that time." ”

Su Xian was aroused by his straightforward tone, and glared at him:

"In the final analysis, it's all because you made your own decision to participate in the Liangdu Competition, but why did you suddenly decide not to be Miaoer's assistant anymore, but to participate in the Liangdu finals by yourself?"

"In order to make a break with my past self." After being silent for a long time, he replied lightly, his tone was slightly deep, he didn't look at Su Xian and said his answer, but his eyes were staring at Su Miao on the stage, but he didn't feel like he was staring at Su Miao at this time, but as if he saw a farther direction through Su Miao, and was immersed in that more mysterious distance.

Su Xian always had an indescribable worry in his heart because of his expression when he was distracted, she felt that the "judgment" in his mouth was not simply a judgment of himself who had failed in the past, there must be something deeper and more worrying in these words, she frowned slightly, looked at him for a while, her eyes were slightly sunken, and asked in a solemn voice:

"What kind of break are you going to make?"

Aftertaste came back to his senses from the world of immersion, glanced at her, and said slowly:

"Miao'er hasn't asked me this, eldest sister, what do you have to ask so clearly?"

Su Xian was choked by his salty tone, the meaning of these words was clearly disgusted with her meddling, but her identity was just a sister-in-law, or a future sister-in-law, she couldn't interfere too much in her sister's feelings, so she could only grind her teeth angrily. I wanted to knock him with words, but I found that this kid turned out to be a master who didn't eat oil and salt, she was in a very unhappy mood now, stared at the calm face of the aftertaste, snorted, and said:

"A small temple like our Su family can't accommodate a big Buddha, and the candidate for a son-in-law should be reconsidered."

The reaction of the aftertaste was only a thick eyebrow, and said to Su Xian: "The bride price has been accepted in Fengzhou, and the date of marriage has been set, and I am waiting for the best auspicious day for Qintian's supervision, sister-in-law, are you ready to add makeup to Miao'er?" ”

Su Xian: "......"

On the stage, an assistant from Dongpingmen picked up fish gelatin and boiled it in clean water, then poured sweet orange juice into the water, let it cool, and made a kind of jelly-like transparent gelatin. The man then flattened the old ginger, put it in clean water and boiled it for half an hour, took a clean gauze to filter the boiled ginger juice to remove the residue, put rock sugar and fish gelatin in the ginger juice and boiled it until it melted thoroughly, then poured the best Pu'er tea into the pot, stirred evenly, put it into a special crab-shaped mold, and waited until the gelatinous liquid naturally condensed, turned the mold upside down, poured out the small brown crabs one by one, and put them into a large porcelain plate.

The preparation method of these small crabs is very ingenious, after the color of the Pu'er tea dissolved in water becomes relatively light, it is very similar to the color of the real crab, and the mold shape used is cute and pleasing, and the small crabs made with such a mold are delicate and detailed, vivid and lively, and lifelike, so that people will like it when they see it.

On the other side, Dongpingmen is focused, he is carving the taro chips into delicate small round holes, and then winding the taro chips into the shape of a cylindrical crab trap, using the golden egg liquid as a binder to join the crab cages to make four crab pots with exquisite and realistic images.

The production of this step is completely art, the volume of the crab cage is the size of a pine tower, only taro chips and egg pulp are used as materials to make it, the taro chips are very small, and the egg liquid will never be as sticky as paste, Dongpingmen's hands are completely a pair of men's hands, although thin but with the broad bones of an adult man, such a pair of hands can be flexibly and skillfully carved into such a fine and ingenious shape, which is really amazing.

The carved taro chips in the shape of a crab trap are fried in a pan of oil until golden brown, and after the shape is fixed, they are removed and allowed to cool.

Dongpingmen's assistant stood aside, heated another iron pot, put in butter and egg yolk, at this time Dongpingmen, who had just fried the "crab pot", stepped forward and took the assistant's position, only to see him standing in front of the iron pot, picked up a bamboo shovel, and slowly pushed it in a circular way in a clockwise direction in the pot until it bubbled, and then put in the previously cut lobster grains, and then fished out after passing through the pot.

Stir-fry the ginger rice, add crab roe, Huadiao wine, pepper to remove the fishy smell, then pour in the semi-finished crab meat and lobster meat, cook in sugar, dried minced chicken and fresh soy sauce, add an appropriate amount of soup, hook out the thin thick with water starch, and finally pour in a little balsamic vinegar, after cooking thoroughly, pinch up a pinch of crab meat and put it on the fried "crab pot" before.

Dong Pingmen bent over, a pair of smoky gray eyes looked intently at the half-finished product in front of him, and his slender fingers kneaded the cooked crab meat at will, and the crab meat became the shape of a small crab, which was filled by him one by one in the crab cage that was fried to a golden brown.

In this way, until the end, the four crab cages were full of small crabs, and the bright colors looked very festive, and even from such a vivid picture, you can imagine how happy the crab fishermen would be when they saw so many crabs.

The dish is more like an artistic ornament, with four crab cages arranged in four directions on the plate, topped with emerald mint leaves, and in the center of the plate is a white crane standing on a rockery made of herbs to spread its wings.

When all the shapes are arranged, Dongpingmen stirs a bowl of prepared light blue liquid clockwise a few times, and the spoon occasionally brings up a little string when stirring in the bowl, which shows that the bowl of sauce is semi-thick.

After stirring for a while, Dongpingmen bent down again, looked at the delicate dishes on the plate with a pair of eyes, scooped up a spoonful of light blue liquid, poured it into the plate along the edge of the porcelain plate, and then scooped up another spoonful, and poured it lightly from the other direction, and then concocted the same method, when the light blue liquid was poured into the plate, the dense liquid flowed along the porcelain plate at the bottom of the small crab and crane, and finally converged into a piece, and when it converged into a lake, it actually solidified in an instant. It became a gelatinous solid, a pale blue gelatinous solid, like an aqua blue mirror.

At this moment, both crabs and cranes cast a shallow shadow in the pale blue mirror-like lake.
