Chapter 216: Seafood Battle
The surrounding security guards almost fell to the ground, Ding Man thought: I fork, do you think that drinking green tea, and having another bottle, you can't make the same and dish, but you said it yourself. I wanted to think about it, but I didn't dare to say it, and everyone around me was the same, no one dared to challenge the old man's authority, even if it was really the old man's fault at this time.
Of course, Zhao Zixian would not have the slightest doubt about crushing his beer duck, looking at the old man's greedy expression, he also knew that the old man really liked to eat this dish, but he must abide by the rules, so he reminded the old man: "Old man, you forgot, you can only eat a dish once." ”
"Oh, oh," the old man replied listlessly, and then said, "one more point for the beer duck of the little brother." ”
Two points, simply two dishes, Zhao Zixian got two points, smiled and returned to the stove, not looking at Ding Man. Ding was so angry that his eyes were full of stars, but it was inconvenient for him to attack.
There are many people who will be proud when they are lucky, but Zhao Zixian is not this kind of person, although he is two points ahead, but Zhao Zixian is not taken lightly, he himself observed and observed Ding Man, Ding Man has been about thirty minutes since he roasted the first big barbecue, but he still hasn't made a whole dish, but he has been stir-frying and stewing, and has done a lot of processes, what stir-fry has to be done for so long. By the way, Zhao Zixian suddenly understood that Ding Man was not making another dish, he was making a series of dishes that could be eaten at the same time. It is made with four or five dishes served together. If you score points, you will be at a great disadvantage.
There is a more critical point, that is, although Zhao Zixian has obtained the "Spectrum of Eternal Life", how can the recipes of the kitchen god be compared with the usual recipes, although the dishes are rich and the effect is excellent, but the dishes recorded in it are only dozens, and there are more than a dozen kinds of ingredients that can be seen in the mortal world, not at all like the chefs in the city, they can make hundreds of dishes, wheel effect, no chef in the world can compare with Zhao Zixian, beer duck - remove the beer belly within half a month, green bamboo lotus root - Grow ten centimeters tall in ten days, Xuezhi syrup - black hair in five days, and some magical dishes such as breast enlargement soup (the effect is literal), how can any chef in the world compare to one ten-thousandth of Zhao Zixian, know one of the dishes, you can be prosperous and rich, and enjoy inexhaustible. What's more, Zhao Zixian will have more than a dozen. But when it comes to deliciousness, there are some chefs in the world who can compete with Zhao Zixian.
Finally, if you talk about the richness of the dishes you have learned, don't say that in the world, there are many chefs in China who can beat Zhao Zixian. Ding Man is undoubtedly one of them. Zhao Zixian clearly knows his current situation, if he fights with Ding Man for a long time, he will definitely not be able to take advantage, because one dish can only be served once. If you get one point for eating one dish, what can you do to defeat an opponent who can cook a lot of dishes? Zhao Zixian pondered.
How to prevent the opponent from scoring, after analysis, Zhao Zixian thought of two ways: one is to make the opponent unable to cook so many dishes, unable to cook, the old man can't eat, naturally he can't get points. But this method is more risky, because Ding Man will not suddenly forget all the dishes he has learned, if he can't make it, he must attack his hands or brain with his own hands, so that he can't make it. But in doing so, with a master like the old man on the scene, he is likely to be caught. It wasn't good at that time. The second is that the dish is made by the ghost, but it is only scored if you eat it. So it's okay to let the old man not eat these dishes. But the old man is so greedy, if Ding Man does a good job and he can't do anything himself, he must eat. That...... At this time, Zhao Zixian suddenly remembered a dish he had just learned - taro carp. No matter how much you eat this dish, you will immediately become very full and will not be able to eat anything else. Okay, just use this dish, and that's the only one for it.
However, there is another difficult thing that makes Zhao Zixian distressed, this dish, Old Man Liang only told himself how to do it, the heat, the condiments, and the taste, but the matching method of taro and carp Old Man Liang himself couldn't say, so he said that let him think about it, and the cooked dish should maintain the original appearance of the fish.
Generally speaking, when making fish dishes, fish is the staple food, such as steamed Wuchang fish, sweet and sour crispy fish, braised carp and other fish dishes, everything else is just used as an embellishment, and the things that are decorated after being served are basically not eaten, they are just eating fish, how can they be integrated, and they can maintain the appearance of fish. If you want to be integrated, you must break the fish and taro, and then make it together, but when the group is together, there is still the appearance of fish, and it becomes a meat filling, so that it can be completely integrated, but the appearance of the carp has long been gone.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zixian couldn't help but be a little discouraged, he couldn't think of a better way, if he wanted to keep the fish in shape, he couldn't destroy the body of the fish, but if he didn't destroy it, then the taro and the fish were two things no matter how to do it, the carp was the carp, the taro was the taro, and the division was very clear, then it would definitely not be able to achieve the effect of integration. However, merging with each other will destroy the shape of the fish. Can't you do both?
When I think about it, I can't think of a clue. Zhao Zixian saw that Ding Man began to add pots to the fire continuously, and seemed to make two more dishes at the same time. This is adding fuel to the fire for Zhao Zixian. While thinking about whether to break the fish meat or not, it suddenly occurred to me that breaking the fish meat and pounding it into fish mash is not the same as the method of fish balls. Because Zhao Zixian was included in the summer as a capable player before, and the summer was dedicated to making fish balls, Zhao Zixian also did some research on fish balls. Fish balls are pounded into fish puree, then added to potato flour, living into a very viscous batter, squeezed by hand, squeezed out a ball, then boiled in the pot, and boiled into fish balls.
But Zhao Zixian thought about it, although the fish ball is round, people are used to making it round, but what if it is not round? Yes, that's right, when the fish is broken, it's just that it's easier to make a round shape, but it's actually whatever shape people want to make it into, and it's just the shape it is, for example, and then it's back to the shape of the fish.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zixian suddenly became enlightened, which not only ensured the integration of taro and carp, but also realized that the finished product was still in the shape of carp.
Zhao Zixian had been thinking about it just now, so he didn't move all the time, and Ding Man was happy that a few of his heavyweight dishes were about to be played, and when he saw Zhao Zixian in a daze again, he became proud. At this time, when he saw that Zhao Zixian suddenly started to start a fire and serve the pot, he secretly paid attention to it, but when he saw that what Zhao Zixian brought up was just a carp, he only smiled and didn't take it seriously at all.
Ding Man is not brainless and arrogant, it is all about food, if the types are too far apart, it is difficult to distinguish which is delicious and which is not delicious, such as chocolate ice cream and spicy shrimp, so that anyone can say that it is delicious, it is difficult to say, because there is no comparison at all. It is likely that everyone's choice is different, but if instant noodles are compared to old Beijing fried noodles, many people can make a choice immediately.
And Ding Man didn't take Zhao Zixian in his eyes because of this reason, if Zhao Zixian did something else, Ding Man might have to be more scruples, but because Zhao Zixian made fish, Ding Man felt that he had the chance to win, because Ding Man made seafood that was rare for ordinary people to eat, and it was even rare to see seafood.
With the secret recipe of the characteristics given by Old Man Liang, and the understanding of the matching method of fish and taro, Zhao Zixian is also very handy in making this taro carp.
Scale, gutt, clean, remove the main thorns, use a blade to remove the fish, beat the fish until it is jammed, then add the taro. The sweetness of the taro and the aroma of the fish are indescribably delicious. At this time, Zhao Zixian used his hands to knead the taro and fish meat into the shape of a carp. Just boil it in the pot, if it is an ordinary person, so that when you cook it, the fish will fall apart. But Zhao Zixian used the true qi of the kitchen god to cover the outside of this pinched fish, so that it would not boil apart, and when it was cooked to five medium rare, the carp had basically been formed, and it would not disperse without the true qi of the chef god, revealing the shape of the carp.
There are not many processes, Zhao Zixian has the help of the kitchen god, this wonderful dish has been prepared in a short time, Zhao Zixian just put the fish on the plate, and as soon as he raised his hand to make his own dish ready to eat, he walked to the old man with the plate.
I heard a security guard's shout from Ding Man's side: "Chef Ding Man's seafood nourishing four pots are eaten together, please taste the Xuanwu veteran!" ”
Zhao Zixian walked and watched, only to see Ding Man walking in front, four small security guards following behind, each holding a gold-edged purple casserole in his hand.
Because Zhao Zixian was ready first, and it was just a dish, he walked to the table of the Xuanwu elder one step earlier than Ding Man, but before Zhao Zixian could speak, Ding Man said with a smile: "My seafood nourishes the four countries and eats it together, master, please taste it while it's hot." ”
Then the four little security guards behind him put the purple casserole on the table one by one, and Ding Man introduced them one by one: "This dish is fried abalone, and I sent someone to the East China Sea to get fresh nine-headed abalone, which has the effect of nourishing vitality." The second course, purple sand shark fin, uses the shark fin of killer whales, which is smooth and delicate, and after eating, the spirit is doubled and the vitality is full. The third course, called Gong Mi Sea Cucumber, uses Vietnamese high-grade Gong Mi, the deepest wild sea cucumber in the Pacific Ocean, which tastes excellent and will not feel tired within a few days after taking it. ”
Speaking of this, the last security guard put the last largest pot in the middle of the three dishes, the three dishes seemed to encircle a circle, surrounding this cauldron in the middle, Ding Man continued: "This last course, called the undersea Buddha jumping over the wall, is the culmination of the previous three dishes, with sea cucumber, shark fin, abalone, plus more than ten kinds of precious spices and Chinese herbs, just stewed for two hours, but I used the war qi to urge the flame to stew, so it is equivalent to the ordinary fire stewed for 72 hours." The taste is mellow, fragrant but not greasy. After taking it, it can prolong life and avoid all kinds of diseases. ”
After finishing speaking, his expression was very proud, and he glanced directly at Zhao Zixian, in comparison, Zhao Zixian's taro carp was just an ordinary dish. There is no way to compare with Ding Man's. Moreover, these dishes are very thick just because of the fragrance, and they smell as if the sea is right in front of their eyes. And Zhao Zixian, the taro carp, because the sweetness of the taro and the fragrance of the carp are very light flavors, so the fragrance is almost covered by the diced vegetables.
Zhao Zixian didn't speak, Ding Man, smiling and waiting for the taste of the Xuanwu elder.
The old man looked at the dishes of the two people separately, and said leisurely: "Well, Ding Man, your dishes are good, but this time it is indeed the little brother who makes it first, and if he comes to me first, I will taste his dishes first." ”
After Ding Man heard this, he was very happy, he knew that if he could say the word "good" from the mouth of the Xuanwu elder, it would be a very high evaluation. I don't care which one the patriarch eats first, it's better to eat Zhao Zixian's first, it's also seafood, and after eating Zhao Zixian's ordinary carp, I can compare the taste of my seafood better.
In fact, Ding Man has been in Hengshan Town for many years, and he knows that the old man Liang of the wonton shop has an absolutely magical recipe, taro carp, but because of the relationship between the Xuanwu elders, he can't fight for it in person. The little minions sent were more and more angry than the other, and every time they came back with a blue nose and swollen face, they all shot everyone.
But I know the dish of taro carp, but I don't know what the effect of this dish is, let alone what this dish looks like, that's natural, Old Man Liang himself didn't understand how to do it, he didn't know what it looked like, and he didn't know it even more. And when Zhao Zixian brought it up, this plate of fish was almost like a carved fish, and Ding Man would never have thought that this was the dish he had always wanted to grab.
So when the old man wanted to taste Zhao Zixian's bread-like carved fish first, Ding Man didn't say anything.
Because the rich aroma of the several pots of seafood made by Ding Man was too strong, the old man picked up a little Zhao Zixian's taro carp with chopsticks, and frowned, because he didn't smell the aroma at all, and the aroma of this dish was completely submerged in the fresh aroma of the seafood. The old man just tapped it with the tip of his tongue, and a golden light seemed to flash in his mind, and then he ate it in one gulp.
This bite of fish went down, and the old man let out an "ah", as if his body had been beaten into the ancient era thousands of years ago. The old man opened his eyes and found himself standing on the "Dragon Gate" between the Yellow River, countless red koi fish jumped past him, and in an instant, lightning and thunder roared, and the carp turned into giant dragons and flew into the sky by the wind. The giant dragons swept themselves into the Yellow River with gusts of wind and waves. "Plop" sound, fell into the cold river water, where is the river water, cold and piercing, bottomless, I don't know how long it has been sinking, the old man only feels that his breathing is becoming more and more difficult, the more he sinks his throat, the more it seems to be tied by a steel cable, and his life is about to be lost...... Suddenly, as if he had sunk to the bottom of the sea, no, not at the bottom of the sea, the old man opened his eyes again, and found himself lying in the soft fields, surrounded by the fragrance of grass and earth, butterflies and dragonflies, and he was clearly in the countryside. And around him, there are all sweet taro, the taro is in the mud, but I don't know why, it is not dirty at all, pick it up, it is very smooth and soft, it is all ripe, so the old man sat in the field and ate the fragrant taro......
"Patriarch! Senate! I only heard a voice shouting in front of me, and then this voice shouted again: "Okay, surnamed Zhao, you actually poisoned the patriarch, come here, arrest him for me." "The person who shouted, of course, was Ding Man.
"Stop!" An old, thick voice came. The old man slowly opened his eyes and saw Ding Man and Zhao Zixian standing in front of him. Yes, I was hosting the cooking competition of these two people at the Chef God Hotel, but the heart-wrenching and tranquil scene just now seemed to really happen......
Ding Man asked anxiously, "Elder, ...... you?"
The old man smiled, "I'm fine," and then looked at Zhao Zixian, pointing to the empty plate, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.
