However, No. 2 and No. 3 are more inclined to plating, and a little off-topic is not so much about knife work as it is about carving.

I have to say that carvers do also study knife techniques, but at most, even if it is a school of knife work, it is not the mainstream, many carvers use exquisite carving knives, after all, it is not the kind of traditional knife work - kitchen knives.

In modern times, there are many people who misunderstand knife work and carving work, but I didn't expect that the ancient people had not completely distinguished these things.

The time for the half-pillar incense competition soon arrived, and the 'white jade dragon' carved from white radish and the thousand silk tofu really became the focus of attention.

In order to observe the contestants' works more intuitively, the judges will personally step forward to see the details in detail, three bottles for you, if the professional is Shen Junmo, the other two people are all from the perspective of the old man to observe.

Among the three, Shen Junmo was the youngest, so he consciously walked last, letting the two seniors go first.

Upbringing and etiquette are what a rich child should look like, Su Qiange secretly said in his heart, it seems that not all rich children are as virtuous as Wu Yan.

Several people took a closer look at what was in front of them, and finally decided to keep the No. 3 who made Qiansi Tofu and Carved Dragon, and the two entered the next round to continue the showdown.

With the two of them coming out, Su Qiange was not surprised, and basically met the standards in her heart.

Round 2 – Cooking.

To put it simply, this round should be considered a comprehensive project, which requires both good knife skills and sufficient heat to control the ripeness and taste of the whole dish.

Many gluttons, in terms of eating, pay attention to a 'fire taste'.

The host walked to the two boards covered by rice paper, and asked the woman holding the sign to lift the rice paper on it one by one, which is quite in the style of a modern duel between the kings of Chu.

The dish selected by No. 1 is stir-fried pork.

"It's a notoriously simple dish, stir-fried with green onions, black pepper and beef, and it's because of its simplicity that it tests the skill of the cooks in controlling the heat."

The host did his best to introduce to whet the audience's appetite, and the judges also nodded their heads to express their approval of the host's introduction.

This dish, Su Qiange tasted it, the last time she went to Baxianglou to eat was this small fried beef, at that time, the chef of Baxianglou was actually no problem, the key is that the beef is fried is really old and firewood, it is difficult to swallow, so she is very similar to see how the unexpected chef of Baxianglou made this dish.

The dish selected by No. 3 is boiled beef.

Many people heard the name H boiled beef for the first time, and thought it was boiling beef in clear water, and they were all surprised, thinking about how this dish could be delicious.

However, some people who have eaten Su Qiange's dishes have some expectations for the dishes of Chef No. 3, and there are a lot of discussions for a while.

"Hey, do you think this boiled beef can be delicious?"

"Haven't you eaten the food from that strange stall in the East Market?"

"What's wrong? His family does this too? ”

"Yes, and it's the first time, the method of boiling is not boiling with water at all, but stewing everything into the flavor, and then sprinkle chili pepper and pepper foam on it, splash it with oil, the taste is spicy, but spicy but not dry, very delicious."

"So is this plagiarism?"

"It's hard to say, cooking is such a thing, I've only seen the first creation, but I haven't seen enough plagiarism." The man smacked his lips and sighed.

"That'...... Is the one you're talking about delicious? ”

As soon as he talked about food, the man was instantly interested.

"Of course it's delicious! I was also introduced by a friend before, the chef is a little girl, the food is very fast, so I remember very clearly, especially his small business so at the beginning only boiled mushrooms, the little girl is very talkative, and later there are guests who choose to eat meat, you can bring your own meat instead of mushrooms for cooking. ”

Su Qiange listened on the side, it seemed that the other party was an old guest, turned his head to see who was talking about it, and had time to invite him to eat for free.

It's a pity that the crowd is too crowded, and there are no two people who can talk about this matter at all, and the number of people talking about it around him is gradually increasing, Su Qiange has no choice but to give up looking.

The host on the stage introduced the boiled beef, "This is an original dish created by Chef Zeng, which belongs to the spicy taste, the specific cooking method, you can watch Chef Zeng's display today, okay, below, the game begins!" ”

With the gong sounding again, the second round officially began.

Su Qiange was knocked out, and the audience below who had eaten Su Qiange's dishes were also stunned, original? Are you sure?

Su Qiange, who reacted, looked at the people on the stage, and looked at their appearances, and they didn't seem to have any doubts about this statement, since she didn't make fish and crabs, so did the county magistrate who rarely patronized her shop.

It was Shen Junmo...... When Su Qiange looked at Shen Junmo, he found that Shen Junmo frowned slightly, and the jade bone fan that had been quietly in his hand began to slowly tap on the other palm.

Could it be that Shen Junmo had heard of her dishes?

The two of them on the stage have already started their own cooking, and the thickness of the slices of fried beef is exactly the most suitable thickness for stir-frying, and the whole process is smooth, which shows that they have many years of cooking experience.

However, even the chef didn't notice that the meat slices were too dry.

Shaking his head, Su Qiange turned his head to look at Chef Zeng, who was said to have created boiled beef.

The most important seasoning in the boiled series is bean paste, before looking at the chef, Su Qiange reached out to the space and grabbed a can of bean paste to see if he could take it out, if the chef studied and understood the production of bean paste, then it would be considered a successful copy of her recipe.

Quietly reaching into his small cloth bag with the hand with the wrist jade, Su Qiange entered the Mind Kitchen and carefully grabbed the bottle of bean paste.

With a slight grip, Su Qiange breathed a sigh of relief from the solid object feeling in his hand, it seems that Chef Zeng on the stage did not develop the bean paste, so what did he use?

At this moment, Su Qiange was even more curious.

I saw that Chef Zeng opened a small porcelain jar in front of him when he was making the base flavor soup, and scooped out a spoonful of black sauce from it, mixed with some red chili peppers in the middle, Su Qiange couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Tempeh, this former chef has never tasted bean paste, but he actually uses tempeh chili powder to pretend to be bean paste, you know, the taste of these two things is completely different.

Moreover, the main ingredient of tempeh is soybeans, and the bean paste is beans.

Although it sounds very similar, the person who cooks knows that these two things are just like the relationship between Shanghai Road in Nanjing and Nanjing Road in Shanghai - nothing to do with each other.

Looking at it this way, in fact, it is understandable for Chef Zeng to say that he created this dish by himself, after all, these things he makes have nothing to do with real boiling.

But looking at Chef Zeng's appearance, the book is very confident in what he makes himself.

Su Qiange watched the steps made by Chef Zeng himself, blanching vegetables, stewing soup, and taking slices of meat.

The meat of boiled meat slices also has to be marinated in advance, deodorized, hung with a thin paste, and a few steps before it can enter the pot and stew with other dishes.

There was no problem with Master Zeng in the first few steps, but there was a problem with the hanging paste after that, Su Qiange saw that the noodles used by Master Zeng were obviously not soybean flour that could replace starch, but flour.

The soybean flour is yellowish, not the kind of white that Master Zeng is using at all.

It seems that it is completely copying the cat and the tiger, and the real essence has not been learned, and there must be a huge gap in taste in the things made, which is completely destroying the taste of the practice of "boiling".

Fortunately, Su Qiange calmed down and finished reading the whole dish.

As soon as the gong sounded, Su Qiange's dishes were served in front of him, which was the time when Su Qiange's heart beat faster and he wanted to jump out the most, but it would be meaningless to stand up at this time.

She must wait for the judges to taste the dishes of the two before she can stand up and justify the boiling, hold back, she must hold back.

The two dishes were brought to the table in front of the three judges, and a special person sandwiched the dishes needed by the judges onto their plates, and the whole process made Su Qiange feel that the form was greater than the idea.

Several judges actually tasted the stir-fried beef of Chef No. 1.

The taste of the stir-fried beef received a unanimous nod from the three people, and it should seem to be pretty good.

"It's delicious, it's just a little problem, Chef Wang, your beef choice doesn't seem to be fresh enough, the age of the cow should be more than three months, and this kind of meat is a little old."

Mr. Wu's speech was quickly recognized and responded to by the county magistrate.

The county magistrate said, "This beef is easy to get old, and only fresh veal can make people feel the feeling of dancing on the tip of the tongue." ”

Three months of cattle are killed! Still dancing on the tip of your tongue? These two old men are crazy!

Su Qiange really didn't understand the requirements of the rich people in ancient times, it was too perverted, and it was really difficult to adapt.

The chef obviously didn't choose the beef according to the requirements of the two masters, so the nurse herself didn't make any rebuttals, but Shen Junmo opened his mouth to relieve the cook.

"Unless there are special ingredients, general things are provided by the Star Picking Tower, and the Star Picking Building has never slaughtered calves less than eight months old, and I hope that the two Haihans will be in the middle."

After hearing this, the two elders nodded their heads in understanding.

"Since it's the rule of the Star Picking Tower, it's naturally understandable." The county magistrate said.

Master Wu didn't echo Shen Junmo like the county lord, but since this was the case, he didn't want to dwell on the matter of Heyang anymore, so he said, "That'...... Let's move on to the next dish. ”

Finally, the three of them began to taste the boiled beef.

As soon as the thing entered the mouth, the expressions of the three people were very subtle, and Shen Junmo simply put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up his jade bone fan again, and began to tap in his palm.

"It's the first time I've tasted it." The prefectural order clothes are not easy to say.

Hearing this, Shen Junmo looked at Master Wu, "What do you think?" ”

Master Wu put down his chopsticks, "It's the first time I've tasted it, it's hard to say the taste, the sauce is fragrant, spicy, and numb, but the flavors are not integrated, which makes people really confused." ”

Shen Junmo gently shook the fan twice, looked at Chef Zeng, and said with a slight smile, "I'm sorry, since the two masters don't want to say it, then I said it, this dish is salty, spicy, and numb, and it's useless, and it's not surprising that it's even unpalatable." ”

"Shen Gongzi, it's too much for you to say that!"

Chef Zeng was furious and said, "Why do you say that the food I cook is unpalatable!" ”
