Chapter 157: Secret Technique! Cloud Swallower! The second update!

Mountain \ West longevity noodles, also known as "one noodle", and knife cut noodles, knife dial noodles, sharp noodles and called mountain \ west four noodles.

The so-called "one noodle" means that there is only one noodle in the whole bowl or pot from beginning to end.

Speaking of noodles, there is an allusion here.

According to legend, during the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed in both physiognomy and ghosts.

One day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chatted with the ministers, and when talking about the length of human life, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "According to the Book of Photos, the longer the middle of the person, the longer the lifespan. If a person is 1 inch long, he can live to be 100 years old. ”

The rest of the ministers said yes one after another, only the minister Dongfang Shuo, who was sitting next to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, suddenly laughed after hearing this, and the ministers felt a little inexplicable, and blamed him for laughing abruptly and being rude to the emperor.

Emperor Wu of Han didn't blame him, and asked him curiously what he was laughing at. Dongfang Shuo explained: "I am not laughing at His Majesty, but laughing at Peng Zu. A person lives to be 100 years old, and his middle is 1 inch long, and Peng Zu lived to be 800 years old, and his middle is 8 inches long, so how long is his face. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, it seems that if you want to live a long life, it is impossible to grow your face, but you can think of a workaround to express your wish for a long life.

So, someone came up with a solution. As the so-called "face face", this "face" is not "face", then "face length" is "face length", so people borrow long noodles to bless longevity.

Gradually, this practice evolved into the habit of eating noodles on birthdays, which is called eating "longevity noodles".

Longevity noodles mean longevity, so the longer the noodles, the better, so whether it is a whole pot or a whole bowl of longevity noodles, there is only one noodles, in order to ask for auspiciousness and festivity.

Because this longevity noodle has only one noodle from beginning to end, the common people call it "one noodle", and the image is easy to remember. It's been called like this.

Shanxi \ West is known as the "hometown of noodles" in China, this root of noodles has been spread in the land of Shanxi \ for thousands of years, it can be said that for the people of Shanxi \ West, this root of noodles has long been an indispensable part of life, not to mention the chef of the eight classics, even if it is an ordinary housewife, can also make a bowl of authentic taste of a noodle.

The reason why Yu Shoujin is known as the king of noodles is because his attainment of the four major noodles in Shanxi has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and before he became the king of chefs, he has won the honor of gold medal in the noodle category at many international food festivals.

Therefore. When Wu Xiaosong and the others heard that Happy had actually given up the dragon beard noodles that they thought should be his best hand and chose the same longevity noodles as the other party, their faces suddenly showed a trace of anxiety and worry.

"Hey! Happy kid, why don't you choose dragon beard noodles? Wu Xiaosong slapped his face in annoyance, but now even if he is in a hurry, it is useless.

After the host re-determined the content of the game between Happy and Yu Shoujin, the staff at the competition site immediately moved the corresponding ingredients to the challenge platform.

Everything is ready to go. Happy and Yu Shoujin stood on both sides of the desk.

At this time, Yu Shoujin had already changed into a white chef's uniform surrounded by a golden dragon, which looked particularly domineering. This is the exclusive suit of the King of Chefs. It symbolizes the highest honor in the culinary world; On the other side, Happy was wearing the most ordinary white chef's uniform, although it was plain, but under the cheerful and confident and bland bearing, there was an outstanding momentum that came out leisurely.

"Are you both ready?" The moderator took the microphone and made sure that both of them were ready. "Play, let's go!"

At the sound of an order, Happy and Yu Shoujin invariably carried the flour bag and poured the flour inside into the basin. The first process of making noodles began - dough mixing.

To be able to become the king of chefs, Yu Shoujin naturally has his own uniqueness, although there are quite a few people in his eyes on weekdays, full of arrogance, but once he is on the desk, his whole person immediately changes, his spirit is highly unified, and his face is even more serious and solemn.

"Huh?" Seeing Yu Shoujin's appearance, several old men sitting in the VIP audience suddenly let out a surprised voice, and Da Dahai touched his chin, with a hint of solemnity in his tone: "It seems that this Yu Shoujin really has some doorways!" ”

"yes!" Qiu Yin nodded, "I didn't expect that although this Yu Shoujin is a little unpopular, he still has a pious heart for the kitchen, no wonder he was able to obtain the position of the king of the kitchen in the first place!" ”

"In this regard, he is several levels higher than his Lao Tzu!" Song Xiande nodded, and then a trace of worry appeared on his face, "But in this way, the happiness is a little hanging!" ”

At the moment when Happy and Yu Shoujin were making peace, the rest of the groups of winners also chose their own challenge objects, and Wang Yunjie, who ranked sixth, chose a Zhejiang cuisine chef who was famous for his exquisite knife work, and it seemed that he wanted to compete with him in knife work.

Among the top ten chefs, except for Chu Xuanyi's accident, all of them were challenged, and one of the Sichuan chefs was even challenged by two contestants, which made this Sichuan chef king cry out and be depressed, saying that he looked better than Chu Xuanyi to bully to lead to this result.

Regarding this grievance of the Sichuan cuisine chef king, Chu Xuanyi shook his head helplessly, and spread his hands to him, indicating that Mu had a way.

For such a scene, the guests and the audience at the scene responded with a kind chuckle.

In the end, these five Sichuan chefs chose classic Sichuan dishes as the content of the competition and competed with the two challengers. According to the rules of the competition, if the two challengers all defeat the Sichuan cuisine chef, then the two of them will determine who will be elected the chef according to the judges' scores. After all, only one chef can be born in a chef seat.

And just like that, ten challengers and nine challenges kicked off at the same time!

In order to allow everyone to intuitively see the specific cooking scenes of the two sides of the challenge, the competition committee specially arranged dozens of high-definition cameras to shoot the whole process, so that everyone on the scene can clearly see the specific content of the nine games from several large screens located at both ends of the hall, which naturally includes the ongoing peace between Happy and Yu Shoujin.

For the judges and spectators at the scene, the one they were most looking forward to in these nine challenges was the one with Yu Shoujin, so most of them also set their eyes on them.

At this time, it has been twenty minutes since Happy and Yu Shoujin started the match, but everyone saw that although twenty minutes had passed, the two were still meeting each other unhurriedly.

"Huh? No way. Why are you still making friends? Several guest judges at the scene suddenly showed puzzled expressions and whispered.

Hearing their doubts, some of the guests who knew how to make noodles became docents for them, explaining the importance of noodles in the noodle making process.

After listening to their introduction, everyone realized that it turned out that to make a bowl of authentic longevity noodles, and noodles were the key to the key!

But just watching the two of them back and forth like this, many people began to feel a little bored and turned their eyes elsewhere.

At this moment, the hands that belonged to Yu Shoujin on the screen suddenly stopped. In the lens of the camera, the hands are raised in the air, slowly stretched out, and then slowly lowered to the sides of the basin.

"What's going on? Is he already done with him? Everyone who noticed this scene couldn't help but be stunned, and then they all cast concerned eyes.

Under the watchful eye of everyone. Yu Shoujin held the two ends of the basin with both hands and shook it slightly. The ball-shaped dough jumped high. Yu Shoujin gently shook the basin aside. Holding his hands in a circle, he looked up at the dough that fell quickly after reaching the highest point, raised his right hand slightly, shook his wrist lightly, and held the dough steadily.

"Oh!" See this scene in front of you. Everyone couldn't help but let out a soft shout, but before they could react, Yu Shoujin moved again.

I saw Yu Shoujin pressing his hands on both ends of the dough, and his feet were slightly spread out to form a horse step pile. The shoulders on both sides are stretched out, and the starting hand pose is similar to Tai Chi.

"It's coming!" Seeing Yu Shoujin's action, whether it was Chu Xuanyi sitting on the kitchen king's seat or Qiu Yin and others sitting in the VIP seat, they all sat up straight and looked at Yu Shoujin on the screen intently.

"Cloud Swallower!" Looking at Yu Shoujin's starting style, Chu Xuanyi said solemnly, "I didn't expect this Yu Shoujin to attach so much importance to happiness, and even moved out this set of unique skills!" ”

"yes!" Lu Xiaoning, who was sitting next to Chu Xuanyi, nodded and said, "It seems that he is determined to win the throne of the king of chefs!" ”

"Next, it's up to the junior brother to deal with it!" Lu Xiaoning said in a deep voice.

Swallowing clouds, ranked eleventh in the list of Chinese cooking secret skills, is a collection of kneading, kneading, pinching, patting, shaking, loosening, crushing and other techniques, can be used on a variety of ingredients, practice to a high depth, just a few palms, the whole livestock skin and bones can be completely separated, can be called a stunt.

The noodles are finely refined, soft, flexible and elastic, and extremely strong.

Legend has it that this technique was created by a Tai Chi master 200 years ago, so in order to learn the Cloud Swallowing Hand, you need to have a certain level of martial arts skills.

More than 100 years ago, Yu Shoujin's ancestor got this stunt by chance, and he began to make a fortune from then on. In order to learn wonton, Yu Shoujin from the age of five worshiped into a Tai Chi master in the west of the mountain to learn Tai Chi, for decades, his attainments in Tai Chi are also quite behind, learning to swallow Yun hand is even more familiar.

In the eyes of everyone, Yu Shoujin suddenly posed in a shape similar to Tai Chi, and then his hands slowly waved, and his whole body swayed slightly with the wave of his hands, and at the same time, the dough on his hands began to rotate, Yu Shoujin kept changing his posture, holding the dough with both hands, and the other hand was constantly pinching the dough everywhere.

As Yu Shoujin pressed it, the dough spun faster and faster, and gradually spread out in all directions, and at the same time, a roar like a beast's groan came out of the swirling dough angrily, with a kind of cloud-swallowing and mist-spitting aura, spreading through the hall.

"Wow!" Seeing this scene on the screen, all the viewers suddenly let out a soft exhalation, this way of kneading dough, they are still the first time to see it!

"It's ...... This is the Cloud Swallower! A food critic looked at this scene on the screen, suddenly stood up, pointed at Yu Shoujin, and said excitedly, "That's right! This is the legendary Chinese cooking secret technique - Cloud Swallowing Hand! ”

"This is the Cloud Swallower!" Almost at the same time, there were several exclamations from all over the hall, and it was clear that many people recognized this stunt as well!

"Oh my God! I was lucky enough to see this legendary Cloud Swallower in my lifetime, and it was really worth dying! A veteran gourmand clenched his fists with excitement on his face.

Compared with these senior gourmets, a large part of the audience, including the judges, did not know what they called the "cloud swallowers", so they asked one after another, and the scene became a little noisy for a while.

Seeing this situation, the host immediately consulted Lu Xiaoning. So, Lu Xiaoning took the microphone and briefly introduced some information about the "Cloud Swallower" to everyone.

When everyone learned that Yu Shoujin was using the eleventh best skill in the Chinese cooking secret technique at this time, they all showed a trace of amazement.

However, among these exclamations, there are other voices mixed in.

"Cut! It's just 11th place, what's the big deal! Tang Qiaoqiao pursed her lips and said, "Brother Happy still has the second-ranked incense condensation secret technique!" He's not going to lose to this nasty guy! ”

"You're right, Sister Xue?" Tang Qiaoqiao grabbed Li Muxue's arm and said.

"This is not necessarily," Luo Runfeng, who was sitting on the side, frowned, his eyes stared at the direction of Yu Shoujin, his expression was solemn, "Happy Incense Condensing Secret Technique and this Cloud Swallowing Hand are two completely different cooking techniques, if you change to any other kind of cooking content, Happy is fully sure to win him, but for noodles, this incense condensing secret technique is useless!" ”

"Yu Shoujin, this old fox!" Wu Xiaosong clenched his fist and knocked on the table, "Obviously, he has already calculated that he can't use the incense condensation secret technique in this game, so he dares to show such a confident appearance!" ”

"Huh? Happy brother can't use the incense condensation secret technique? Tang Qiaoqiao blinked, and she immediately turned her head towards Feng Wanchun, "Grandpa Feng, are they telling the truth?" ”

"Yes." At this time, Feng Wanchun's face also showed a trace of helplessness, I am afraid that this harmony is the only area that cannot be involved in the secret technique of incense condensation.

"Huh? What about Brother Happy? Tang Qiaoqiao found that everyone's faces had already shown a trace of worry, and her little face suddenly collapsed.

"Happy brother, you must win!" Tang Qiaoqiao silently turned her head and looked at Xingxing, her little fists still clenched, "You will definitely win!" (To be continued......)
