Chapter 213: Results
On the second watch, the night shrouded Chang'an, and the Saijia and Mei families all sent people to find delicious food. The daughters of the two families are not there at this hour, and the family is very worried. The people who were looking for it didn't expect that the two young ladies would watch the competition between the two cooks and watch it with relish.
Xia Shang and Peng Baiye's knife competition has reached the final stage, and the radishes in their hands are cut to the bottom.
Xia Shang's results are not very clear, but the radish skins on the cutting board in front of Peng Baiye have been piled into small balls. Don't underestimate such a lump of radish skin, like a pile of silk threads, those who have seen this process are very clear, if the length of the radish skin is at least from here to the door of the opposite Saijia cloth village, and then a few back and forth.
It is difficult for ordinary people to keep peeling for one or two meters, and watching Peng Baiye peel is completely magical.
Finally, after laughing for a while, the two of them finally stopped.
The two people who stopped looked at each other at the same time, as if they were provoking each other, and as if they were observing each other's results.
The radish in front of Xia Shang is intact, and from a distance, there is no trace of being cut by a knife, and not even a drop of water has overflowed.
Peng Baiye frowned, whether it was Xia Shang or the radish in front of Xia Shang, he couldn't see through, and in the face of a deputy who participated in the banquet of the great dynasty, he found that he didn't even have the slightest certainty of victory. is also the head chef of the four major restaurants, Peng Baiye thinks that he is slightly better than Xu Niangzi, because Xu Niangzi is a woman after all, and she can have a lot of fame by virtue of this, and her cooking skills alone are always one point worse than the rest of the chefs. And the chef in front of him is the deputy of the, it stands to reason that the cooking skills should be under the, why does it give people an unfathomable feeling?
Peng Baiye was under pressure, and deliberately showed it in front of Xia Shang, leaning down and blowing lightly on the radish skin, a ball of radish skin instantly floated gently like a faint cloud of smoke, it was really because the skin was too thin, floating in the air and almost transparent, and the firelight passed through, refracting all kinds of light and shadow, which was even more fantastical than in the dream.
Is this what a man can do?
The gorgeous result lived up to everyone's long wait, and the shocking scene left all the audience stunned.
The subordinates who were waiting outside the door didn't know what their young lady was looking at so energetically, and they were dumbfounded when they saw this scene from afar, and they were also deeply attracted by this gorgeous performance unconsciously.
"Amazing!" Together with Gu Zi, who is a celebrity chef, he couldn't help but admire when he saw this scene, "It is rumored that Peng Baiye had the title of 'Ghost Knife' before he came to Beijing, and the world thought it was another name when he was involved in the rivers and lakes. ”
"Why is this guy Peng Baiye so powerful?" Not far away, Mei Wan'er didn't have a trace of pride, but was a little worried, worried that the other person would lose too ugly. At this moment, even Mei Wan'er didn't know how she stood on the side of the annoying person.
Xia Shang was also quite surprised, it was unbelievable that someone could practice knife work to such an extent in this era. What's more important is that he uses a knife with modern technology to complete the work in front of him, but the other party is the most ordinary and simple iron knife, and there is no process. In this regard, Xia Shang felt that his knife work was not as good as his.
"Today's competition has a word first, the comparison is the length, and how gorgeous the vision is is not the key." Xia Shang said lightly.
Peng Baiye nodded, motioned for a person to step forward, found one from the silk-like radish skin, and asked the person to go out the door cautiously.
This walk went directly to the door of Saijia Cloth Village, and there were still a lot of radish skins on the table. Just as the surveyor was about to wrap the radish skin around a pillar and turn it back, the radish skin suddenly broke.
It is not surprising that the skin of the extremely fine radish can break when exposed to any movement in the air, and it cannot be avoided by prudence.
The current situation is a bit embarrassing, Peng Baiye's peeled radish skin is not broken, but it is caused by the movement during measurement. How should the results be calculated?
"Since Master Peng is inconvenient to measure, let's measure it first." Xia Shang attracted everyone's attention, and then drew a scoop of hot water from the back hall, and poured all the hot water on the radish under the gaze of everyone.
I thought that there would be some amazing changes in the radish after being heated, but nothing happened, and compared to Peng Baiye's amazing performance, no one would think that the Xia Chamber of Commerce had a chance of winning.
Xia Shang didn't say anything, waved his hand, and motioned for a guy to come over, but he didn't expect Mei Wan'er to wave her little hand and squeeze out of the crowd: "I'll come, I'll help you." ”
Xia Shang's brows furrowed into the word "Chuan": "Is this woman reliable?" You can't be here to make trouble, right? ”
"What do you look at? Don't say I can't do such a simple thing, right? ”
Mei Wan'er was strange all day long, Xia Shang was a little unsure, and said in a low voice: "Make it clear first, don't make trouble, don't deliberately break it." ”
"Humph!" Mei Wan'er rubbed her nose unhappily, "This girl is such a careful person?" ”
Xia Shangshang's talking eyes told her, "Aren't you?" ”
Mei Wan'er pretended not to understand and was about to grab the radish on the table, but Xia Shang hurriedly stopped: "Don't move, I'll take the lead for you, you must be careful, don't break it." ”
"I know!"
Xia Shang laid the vertical radish flat on the table, the radish was still steaming, blew again, and then pulled out a thin wire from the top of the radish. It wasn't until this moment that everyone could see what kind of radish skin Xia Shang had peeled. It turns out that all the skin is wrapped around the surface of the radish and does not fall off, so it looks like it is intact.
After being pulled out by Xia Shang, neat lines began to appear on the surface of the entire radish, as dense as fingerprints.
Mei Wan'er, who was closest to Xia Shang, was the most touched, and the sudden change surprised her, and then looked at the radish skin in her hand, the width and narrowness were on par with Peng Baiye, but the thickness was far from the same, and she could clearly see that the radish skin that Xia Shang had cut was still connected to a small part of the radish meat, and the cross-section showed a triangle, because it was too thin, and it could not be found if you didn't put it in front of you and observe it carefully.
Why is this happening?
Mei Wan'er immediately thought of Xia Shang's previous strange method, wanting to make the radish skin take on this shape, which could only be achieved through a technique similar to that of a carving knife.
"But why doesn't this person act in a proper manner like Peng Baiye?"
Mei Wan'er glanced at Xia Shang suspiciously, but Xia Shang said at this moment: "Slowly retreat." ”
"Oh."
Mei Wan'er pinched her head and slowly retreated, and the skin of the radish also fell off from the skin of the radish clockwise and clockwise with her pace.
This process is like removing a sweater, and the thread is getting longer and longer, but the skin on the surface of the radish is not reduced much.
Now everyone finally understands what Xia Shang did just now, as far as the naked eye can see, just talking about the length of the skin, Peng Baiye is estimated to be hanging.
