Chapter 23: The Jedi Strikes Back

"There are still 15 minutes left, and the two teams should pay attention to the speed of the appetizer." The male host Dawei reminded the two teams who were still busy and nervous that time was running out. Sojiro Hojo tasted the 'Mock Cucumber' sauce that Miyoko was concocting, turned around and shouted to Jiang Yunfeng, "Xiao Feng! Is the oil and salt done? ”。“ Here it comes! Jiang Yunfeng came to Sojiro with the salty meat jelly and the scallion oil that had just come out of the pot. Sojiro touched the bowl, "It's still hot oil!" There's no time to wait. Take out a small bowl, put an appropriate amount of salty meat jelly, pour out the hot oil to melt, and then pour it out of the sauce, looked up at the big screen, and there were only 8 minutes left, so he beckoned Miyoko and Jiang Yunfeng to stir one by one, and quickly set the plate, and he prepared to decorate.

"It's time! Both teams are invited to serve the appetizers! Dawei gestured to the staff to come forward and take turns to hold the appetizers of both sides to the public judges and the three professional judges to taste, and ten minutes later, the tasting results were sent back to the host. In the first round, the appetizer session, the scores are as follows. Master Liu Jian of Xiangjiang Hall produced 32 votes for 'Cold Salad Three Silks'. Hojo Building's 'Clothed Cucumber' received 21 votes. The professional judges commented: The 'Leecoat Cucumber' made by Hojo House is sweet and sour, but the temperature of the whole appetizer is too high due to the use of hot oil to melt the meat jelly, which destroys the refreshing taste of the cucumber. So in the first round, appetizer, Xiangjiang Hall wins! Next, the main course session begins, and each team has 60 minutes to prepare the main course. Keeping Time Starts Now! ”

After hearing the final result, Sojiro Hojo sighed, "Hey, I thought it was just a slight loss, but I didn't think there would be an 11-point difference, Liu Jian got the fish head and pickled pepper, and there will definitely be a 'chopped pepper fish head'." We only have three yellow chicken and pork belly, and the oil is not enough, frying is not good, and the main dish is more difficult. Miyoko also frowned, Jiang Yunfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, let me come!" ”

"Xiao Feng, what are you going to do?"

"Kung Pao Chicken!" Jiang Yunfeng said firmly.

"Okay, you just let it go, let's start fighting back!"

Jiang Yunfeng chopped the three yellow chickens into pieces and took out the chicken breast, patted the chicken breast with the back of a knife, cut it into small cubes, added a tablespoon of cooking wine, half a tablespoon of homemade onion oil, half a teaspoon of white pepper, half a teaspoon of salt, and a teaspoon of starch to marinate for 10 minutes, and then mix well with water starch. Wash and cut the remaining green onions, wash the dried chili peppers, cut off the two ends to remove the chili seeds, cut the remaining cucumbers into cubes, add Japanese soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, salty meat jelly, ginger juice, crushed rock sugar and cooking wine in a small bowl, mix evenly to make a seasoning sauce, pour all the oil into the pot, put the peppercorns and dried chili peppers in after heating, fry them over low heat to make a fragrance, then put in the green onion segments, put in the diced chicken, put 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, fry the diced chicken and change color, then pour in the water starch and finally add the sauce, and then put in the cooked peanuts, Jiang Yunfeng found that there was a major mistake in the cooking, because the addition of salty meat jelly made the chicken breast too watery and could not be formed! "Sure enough, there's still not enough oil! Can't make the surface of the chicken quickly dehydrated and form to lock in the gravy, there is no way, you can only fry on high heat to force the soup back into the chicken, as long as the action is fast enough, the chicken breast should not become firewood" made up his mind to turn the fire to the maximum, the roar of the blower resounded throughout the audience, the flame turned red into bright blue, the huge roar attracted the attention of the audience, the camera was all aimed at the Hojolou cooking area, Jiang Yunfeng hugged his left hand with a wet towel, held the red-hot wok, and began to stir-fry, "Boom" The kung pao chicken in the stir-fry rose into a sky-high flame, Jiang Yunfeng was so scorched that he couldn't open his eyes, but now is the critical moment, he can't make the slightest mistake, he can only grit his teeth and insist, and the sweat has just come out of his forehead and is evaporated into steam by the high temperature. Sojiro Hojo stared at Jiang Yunfeng's every move, and shouted to Miyoko Hojo, "Miyoko, go get the first aid kit!" Fast!!! But Miyoko looked at Jiang Yunfeng who was dancing the fire dragon blankly, and did not react. However, Jiang Yutong ran down from the stands of the support group, rushed to the cooking area with the first aid kit, and wanted to pull down Jiang Yunfeng, who was enduring the flames and insisting on stir-frying, but was hugged by Sojiro to stop her from approaching.

"Let go of me!! My brother's hands are burned! Let me pass, let me go!! Jiang Yutong struggled fiercely, and his elbow also hit Sojiro's eyebrow arch and bled blood. Sojiro endured the severe pain and comforted, "Miss Jiang, you can't go over!" Xiao Feng's cooking is a critical moment, and if you stop him now, your efforts will be lost! "I don't care if you win or lose!! The person I love the most is hurt, and who of you will stop me again! Don't blame me for being rude! As soon as Jiang Yutong's voice fell, his whole breath became dangerous. Sister! Don't make a fuss! I'll be fine right away. Wait! Jiang Yunfeng's voice was low, and he seemed to be enduring great pain. Seeing that the kung pao chicken in the pot had been fried until it was dry and fragrant, Jiang Yunfeng quickly got out of the pot and left the flame, poured the fried kung pao chicken into the large plate on the side, and threw the red-hot wok directly into the sink to make a "bang" sound, his face was pale and the whole person sat on the ground limply, Jiang Yutong quickly ran to his younger brother's side, took out alcohol from the first aid kit, and poured it on Jiang Yunfeng's palm and arm to cool down, "Ah!! The sharp pain caused by the alcohol drenching on his hands burned by the high temperature made Jiang Yunfeng couldn't help but scream, Sojiro and Miyoko also came around, Jiang Yunfeng endured the sharp pain of his hands cooling down sharply, and said to the two people, "Uncle, Miyoko, Kung Pao Chicken I have already fried, the quality is the most perfect I have ever done, and I will leave the rest to you!" This is the first battle, and Hojo must not back down! ”

"Good! Xiao Feng, you treat it first, uncle, I will do my best! Seeing this unexpected situation, the program team called an ambulance, and was about to suspend the showdown, but Sojiro Hojo rejected the program team, communicated with Liu Jian and the judges and the program team, and the game continued.

Miyoko finished serving the kung pao chicken, and Sojiro put it on the decoration, and when the final whistle blew, it was served, and Liu Jian's chopped pepper fish head was tasted by the judges. On the one hand, the fierce attack just now made the surface of the chicken breast quickly charred and locked the juice, and because there was no salt, the salty meat jelly made in an emergency was turned into juice to make the chicken breast taste more thorough, and it also had the taste of olives, and there was innovation in the tradition, which amazed the public judges and Master Sun Yuanliang and Chef Ling Zhendong, and Erina Nagi felt the breath of the flame and almost didn't stand firm. On the other hand, the reason for the failure of Liu Jian's chopped pepper fish head is that the fish head is not freshwater silver carp, but mackerel in the sea. As the former head of Hunan cuisine, Chef Liu Jian, who has profound skills, still tries his best to promote his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, but he still can't compete with Jiang Yunfeng's last quick stir-fry that hurts his hands with one hand.

"Although there was an accident in the main course, both sides agreed to continue to complete the game, and the spirit is commendable, especially the chef Jiang Yunfeng of Hojo Building, who tried his best to solve the problem without oil and salt, and made a mistake in the main dish and recovered it at all costs, we do not advocate this behavior, but the spirit is worth remembering, good! Next, I announce the results of the competition, and Master Liu Jian of Xiangjiang Hall won 21 votes for 'chopping pepper fish head'. Hojolou's "Kung Pao Chicken" received 32 votes. I announce the second round, the main course showdown, Hojo Lou wins! The two rounds were added together, 53 to 53, and the two sides were tied! In the third round, dessert will be a crucial part! ”

Jiang Yunfeng breathed a deep sigh of relief, and finally followed up the evaluation...
