Chapter 9 Halberd - Egg Fried Rice
Everyone looked up and saw a little boy leaning on the window on the second floor, looking down with his head stretched out.
Caught quickly: "What does this son mean? ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Cheng Ming's mouth, "The so-called halberd is a duel in which the kitchen is used as the battlefield and the food is used as the sword. The bet is naturally Deyue Tower. I want to promote the restaurant that I have competed for with my culinary skills, and it is also a rare story! ”
"That's right, good attention!"
"That's it!"
"This little boy's proposal is very good!"
It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and the people around are coaxing.
The young woman's eyes lit up and she exclaimed: "This little boy is right, the restaurant is a restaurant, that is the place to eat." Food is very good for determining the world! ”
Catching quickly set his eyes on Qin Fatzi, he hesitated, and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, since both sides agree, then it's decided, and I ask the little boy to show the rules."
"Well said, well said!"
The whimsical idea has become a reality, whether it is Cheng Ming or the onlookers, they are very interested, especially the people of Mengzhou City, who already have the attribute of onlookers, and now they encounter a rare miracle in a thousand years, so don't hurry up and watch strongly.
Cheng Ming went downstairs, discussed briefly with Catcher, Qin Fatzi and Lu Wu's sister-in-law, and ordered someone to start preparing.
First of all, the tables and chairs in the lobby on the first floor were cleared, and the vacated space was placed in duplicate with the stove and kitchen utensils.
The referee is set to three, and Cheng Ming, who proposes the plan, is counted as one.
As an intermediary, Lao Xing, who has something to do with both sides, is counted as one.
The remaining one was a villager who was elected by the crowd, fifty or sixty years old, with decent manners and seemed to be quite popular.
The three of them sat in a row, facing the gate, and the four of them stood behind with their heads held high, majestic and high-spirited.
The onlookers were asked not to shout, more than five meters away from the stove, and violators were expelled from the crowd.
After commotion for half an hour, the simple halberd duel venue was completed.
Fifth sister-in-law Lu personally came on the scene, and Qin Fatzi sent a chef as fat as him, and the two looked at each other from afar, with sparks splashing in their eyes.
Everything was ready, and Cheng Ming stood up.
"The title is egg fried rice, and the time limit is one hour,
We have prepared rice and eggs for you, and you can take care of the rest of the accessories.
The referee is three, each with one vote in his hand, and the one with the most votes wins. The two sides of the duel are Lu Wu's sister-in-law and chef Qin Bao, if there is no opinion, then the timer will start after five breaths. ”
No one in the audience spoke, Cheng Ming nodded and stretched out five fingers.
"Five, four, three, two, one, light incense!"
As soon as the words fell, both sides acted at the same time.
The venue is improvised and looks a little shabby. The stoves used by both sides are the stoves on the food stalls outside, and the fire is not big, but it is better to last.
The main ingredients were placed next to the two of them, in duplicate, in the same amount.
The remaining accessories, as well as all the ingredients that could be found in the Deyue Building, were placed on the table between the two of them for the two of them to choose and use at will.
Qin Bao pounced on him with a smile and pounced on him as soon as possible, regardless of it, he hugged a lot of ingredients and turned around and left.
Fifth sister-in-law Lu glared at her fiercely, but she also carefully selected some green onion and ginger seasonings.
The catcher above looked interesting, and turned his head to talk to Cheng Ming.
"Little boy, this method is good, interesting and not hurtful. To tell you the truth, these two have a lot to do with me, and it's really hard to be caught in the middle, and now this method has solved a heart problem for me. ”
The old man smiled and said, "It's this little boy who chose the topic well!" ”
This old man's surname is Ma, and his name is unknown, and he is a large landowner in Mengzhou City. I don't know if he is really kind to the big landlord, or if he uses means, anyway, the people are very convinced of him.
"Oh? What's so good? ”
Cheng Ming really wanted to know what he could say.
"Stir-fried cuisine began in the pre-Song Dynasty, and after more than 200 years of development, combined with the customs of the north and south of the country, it has evolved into a characteristic of various places. There are always differences in the tastes of people in different regions.
And the little boy simply said three words of fried rice with eggs, which directly minimized the differences between the dishes, showing more basic skills, which is the ability of a chef. Well chosen! ”
Catch Kuai was surprised, "It turns out that there is such a deep meaning, amazing!" ”
Cheng Ming was a little speechless and didn't want to pay attention to their brains.
The reason why I chose egg fried rice is not only because this thing can be used as both a dish and a rice, but also because there are only two kinds of ingredients in Deyue Building.
The egg fried rice covers a large range, and it can be bought for five yuan at roadside stalls, and it is also blatantly sold for two hundred yuan in big hotels.
In addition to eggs and rice, the addition of trimmings is also very casual, allowing the chef to add a personal touch at will.
Another is that he is familiar with this thing, and he used to want to eat three meals a day.
Both sides were working in full swing, and as soon as the sound of the knife stopped, the casserole rice came out, and the hot pot was hot, and the sound of stir-frying was heard at the same time.
Cheng Ming glanced at it twice and lost interest.
Lu Wusao's expression was serious, her eyes stared at the big spoon without blinking, and she only used the spoon to stir-fry, and the fragrance wafted out, causing the surrounding audience to chase the aroma for a while.
On the other side, Qin Bao was skillfully turning the spoon, but he actually threw all the ingredients into the pot.
Cheng Ming couldn't bear this.
After a few minutes, both sides will be served on a plate at the same time.
Lu Wu's sister-in-law is full of confidence, Qin Bao holds her head high, and both of them are very confident in their works.
Looking at the two bowls of rice in front of him, the lace bowls contained a variety of ingredients, and he even saw meat grains. The inside of the white bowl is clearly grained, and the whole body is golden, which makes it look even more beautiful.
Ma Lao is also a glutton, smelling the aroma and couldn't help but propose: "Then let's start, start with the bowl of Qin Fatzi!" ”
Cheng Ming both nodded and ate at the same time.
Qin Bao raised his eyebrows proudly, and Fifth Sister-in-law Lu rolled her eyes, unmoved.
When the rice was eaten, he frowned slightly, and then he was quickly captured by the delicacy, and his expression gradually turned into enjoyment.
Ma Lao took a bite and ate slowly, nodding his head while eating, which seemed to be very kind.
Cheng Ming only took one bite and put the spoon down and stopped moving.
Hurry up and finish the meal in one go, and then take another bowl, seeing that Cheng Ming and the two were watching, he hurriedly retracted his hand.
Ma Lao nodded, "Then let's try this." ”
Cheng Ming didn't speak, the same mouthful.
After a quarter of an hour, the gong sounds, the tasting phase is over, and it's time to decide the winner.
Cheng Ming got up and said, "It's almost time, then the three of us will start voting, which one of the egg fried rice you think is delicious, please push the plate forward!" ”
At the last moment, the audience was also excited, and they watched with their necks propped up.
Syllable!
The three of them acted in unison, pushed out the plate, and the scene was in an uproar.
Two to one, Lu Wu's egg fried rice won.
Qin Fatzi shouted: "This is not right, Qin Bao has been studying art for five years and has been in charge for three years, how can he not compare to this stinky woman?" Ma Lao is old, and it is inevitable to be confused, you are also biased towards women at such a young age? I'm not convinced! ”
Seeing that he was excited to rush up, Zhang Dadao and the four of them hurriedly jumped down and dragged him aside.
Cheng Ming said lightly: "Since you want a reason, I will naturally give you a reason, but before that, I want to ask you two how you judge." ”
The eyes of the onlookers were fixed on the only one who chose Qin Bao, he was a little twisted, and said: "Actually, the two bowls of rice are delicious, there is oil and eggs, and there is enough rice, but Qin Bao's bowl of rice has meat in it!" ”
The crowd couldn't help but laugh. Caught up in his eyes, and no one paid attention to him.
Ma Lao said with a smile: "Xiao Lao'er is old, his teeth are not good, Qin Bao's bowl of rice is too sticky, and there is too much oil." I still prefer the bowl of female dolls, the grains are clear, not soft or hard, and some elastic, very delicious! ”
Fifth sister-in-law Lu bowed down and thanked softly.
Cheng Ming was a little speechless, sure enough, the state of gourmets everywhere in the anime did not exist, and the ruthless reality had shattered the glowing cuisine of his fantasy.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he shook his head and said:
"Egg fried rice is a change in the flavor of the rice and the flavor of the egg by combining the flavor of the rice with the taste of the egg on high heat.
Let's talk about Qin Bao's bowl first, he obviously didn't really understand the essence of egg fried rice, but he mixed the ingredients together and cooked it in a fried way.
The rice was too soft, and the egg mixture was not fried, and the consequence of stir-frying over high heat was that the rice was sticky into a lump of state, and the taste was very uneven. Based on this alone, this bowl of egg fried rice can be said to have failed.
Of course, your basic skills are still okay, and you are very skilled in stir-frying, obviously trained. Who is your master? ”
Qin Bao whispered: "Master Jin of Handan Zhenweixuan. ”
In fact, not only can he see it, but the people around him have seen it, and among the three people, Cheng Ming is the only one who can really eat and know how to eat.
And Lu Wu's sister-in-law did not make such a low-level mistake, you can take a look, in her egg fried rice, the rice grains are separated, the egg liquid is evenly colored, and the accessories are only added with salt and pepper, and there is no rest of the miscellaneous taste. The aroma of the rice egg is highlighted, and it is quite a good piece.
However, although you have some talent, you have not received professional training, and it is obvious that you are lacking a piece of basic skills. The heat of the rice is a little excessive, and it is not in place when stir-frying, and the heating is uneven, so that the taste is slightly lacking.
If you add a small handful of chopped green onions before cooking, it will hide some of the flaws. It's a pity! However, the idea of separating the egg mixture, stirring the rice with the egg yolk and then stir-frying it in the pan is a highlight.
In contrast, I choose Lu Wu's egg fried rice! ”
Cheng Ming's expression was faint, and the audience was dumbfounded.
Who is this, such a powerful tongue, that he can taste so many mysteries with just one bite.
There was silence for a while, and after a few seconds, there was a lot of applause.
"The little boy is so powerful, that's right, it should be Lu Wu's sister-in-law who wins!"
Cheng Ming bowed his hand and thanked him, "The halberd is over, whether it is good or bad, it will be a result for both parties." If one party cheats, I don't think the big guys will agree! ”
"That's right! Those who have no faith in their words are not worthy to live in Mengzhou City! ”
"That's right, whoever repents will be kicked out!"
Qin Fatzi's face changed, and he fell to the ground in a daze.
Fifth sister-in-law Lu cried with joy and kept bowing and thanking her.
