Chapter 114: The First Round

Lin Jinxiu glanced down at the things on his desk, well, everything was ready.

"At the end of the time, in addition to the comments made by our judges, 50 neighbors will be randomly selected to vote for the dish they think is the best to calculate the total score of each contestant!"

"The five chefs with the highest overall score will advance to our next round of competition!"

Lin Jinxiu took a deep breath and began to recall his recipe.

It seems that he can only win by surprise, after all, his three-legged cat kung fu, I'm afraid that he will not be commented on by those chefs.

The host's precautions have finally been explained.

Lin Jinxiu's hand rested on his potato.

Cui Xu held the kitchen knife next to him.

"Game on!"

With an order, the onion and garlic in Cui Xu's hand were quickly peeled off by him, and the kitchen knife in his hand cut quickly as if it had turned over a flower.

The sound is tuk-tuk and full of rhythm.

Cui Xu is very familiar with his own recipes, and he has been practicing in his county for five years.

Even if he doesn't think about whether there will be any masters in the county, he wants to hand in an answer sheet that satisfies him.

Carefully cutting the accessories in his hand, Cui Xu let out a sigh of relief.

Most of them are still in the process of preparing food, cutting the kitchen knife in their hands on the cutting board, cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, chicken, all kinds of ingredients.

Some viewers around saw that Cui Xu had already cut all the ingredients, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Sure enough, it's a chef, you can see it from the knife work!" ”

Seeing that the time was still early, Cui Xu stopped his work in order to avoid the taste of the dish from being fried for a long time.

I saw that he first carefully put the shredded potatoes in a plate of water, and put the prepared vegetables upside down in a basin, and then began to silently observe the players around him.

Cui Xu turned around and wanted to see what level this girl who was going to finish third was?

I saw that the little girl seemed to be very happy, humming a song, and was taking a few potatoes from the pot that had not yet been peeled.

What is this operation? Cui Xu's eyes narrowed.

Lin Jinxiu took the potatoes out of the pot and put them into a big basin, because the freshly cooked potatoes were hot, she blew while holding the potatoes, and the potatoes almost flew out of her hands a few times in a row, and they were quickly fished back and thrown into the basin.

Is she really cooking?

Isn't it performing acrobatics?

Cui Xu felt curious, after all, practice makes perfect, this girl's level of catching potatoes is so poor, she doesn't practice often at first glance.

How high can you be at cooking?

How confident is this girl in herself?

Interesting.

And Lin Jinxiu didn't notice that there was another person next to him staring at him, and put his hand into the basin and began to peel the skin of the potato.

Since the potatoes were already cooked, and the potatoes given by the space were not flawed, Lin Jinxiu's movements in his hands were very fast, and he quickly peeled off all the potato skins.

The first step was completed, Lin Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did she notice Cui Xu's gaze.

"Oh, I'll go!" Lin Jinxiu almost scared Cui Xu to death, "What are you doing standing behind me without cooking!" ”

It turned out that Cui Xu was fascinated, and he didn't know when he had moved to the back of Lin Jinxiu.

"What are you doing?" Cui Xu's eyes kept staring at Lin Jinxiu's table.

Lin Jinxiu's face was full of confusion: "Cooking, otherwise?" ”

"Go on." Cui Xu raised his chin and motioned for Lin Jinxiu not to stop in his hand.

Lin Jinxiu didn't know what he wanted to do at all, and continued his movements in his hands, but he glanced back at Cui Xu from time to time.

"Leave me alone, keep doing it." Cui Xu said.

Cui Xu's eyes were all on the dish in Lin Jinxiu's hand, his face was full of seriousness, and he seemed to be thinking about some professional content.

Lin Jinxiu was looked down upon by her.

Wouldn't this man see any clue from that?

But the dishes still had to be made, Lin Jinxiu took out a spoon and began to crush all the potatoes in the pot into a puree.

The already cooked potatoes are fluffy and glutinous, and they quickly collapse under the pressure of the spoon, forming a soft mashed potato at the bottom of the pot.

Lin Jinxiu made a large pot of mashed potatoes, after all, after a while, there were fifty neighbors who tried them, and she was a little afraid that everyone would not have enough to eat.

"Now the game has passed! Let's take a look at how the players are doing now! ”

The storyteller's voice sounded in the venue, but I didn't expect the game to be accompanied by commentary.

"All the players are playing very normally, except for our shopkeeper Cui of Qinghe Building...... Not cooking at all! It's the shopkeeper Lin who has been staring at No. 1! ”

The storyteller looked around at all the contestants, and was unexpectedly attracted by Cui Xu's actions: "Cui shopkeeper, Cui shopkeeper!" It's still a game now, everyone knows that Shopkeeper Lin is beautiful, and he looks slower than the finish of the game! ”

The spoon in Lin Jinxiu's hand almost didn't let her throw it out.

In the laughter of the people around him, Cui Xu's old face turned red.

Lin Jinxiu smiled rather awkwardly.

The storyteller's voice drew all eyes to him.

Huai Yanqing squinted his eyes, and his eyes were a little unkind.

He had already heard Lin Jinxiu say that the new shopkeeper of Qinghe Building was a very strange person, and now he had been standing behind her and looking at her, did he want to do anything?

Seeing the shopkeeper's tense expression, I'm afraid I'm already in a cold sweat, hurry back to my desk!

"Could it be that this shopkeeper Cui has already finished the dishes?" There was speculation beside Huai Yanqing.

The person next to him believed it: "It is worthy of being the shopkeeper of Qinghe Building, cooking so quickly, it must be delicious!" ”

"That's not necessarily, slow work makes fine work."

Some of the contestants also looked at Cui Xu.

"Is the surname Cui too arrogant?" The shopkeeper of Qingshengzhai heard someone behind him say, "It's just a tenth place, but you don't do it yourself but watch others do it?" ”

Someone next to him chimed in: "That's it, maybe Qinghelou has some fancy intestines himself, so that he can win without a fight!" ”

"This fellow, don't talk nonsense if you don't have any evidence." Shopkeeper Su turned around and said, "That shopkeeper Cui has real talent and learning, if you are not convinced, don't say bad things about people behind your back." ”

The shopkeeper Wang of the Wangfu restaurant also began to help, and when he saw that it was the owner of a small restaurant in the county who spoke: "Looking at such a large amount, it is no wonder that I can't enter the top five." ”

That person was despised by the people of the two big restaurants in the county, and he could only be speechless and shut up.

"Shopkeeper Cui, pay attention to the time." The storyteller was just joking, reminding him to rush back, "Oops, the shopkeeper of our Wangfu Restaurant has already started to boil oil......

Seeing the storyteller slowly walking away, Lin Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief and resumed his original movements.

"Shopkeeper Cui, why don't you finish your own dishes first?" Lin Jinxiu's eyes gently tilted behind him.

Cui Xu didn't say a word, but her eyes were still on her desk.

Lin Jinxiu shrugged, forget it, he can watch it if he likes it.

After making sure that none of the potatoes were pureed, Lin Jinxiu added cornstarch and salt to the pressed mashed potatoes, and took out a small jar from the basket he had broughtβ€”it was filled with the Holy Spirit pot of water.

The water glowing with silver light fell into the basin, and Lin Jinxiu's eyes were quick, and he turned over the cornstarch and suppressed the silver light of the water.

Quietly Mimi glanced at Cui Xu with his peripheral vision, he didn't seem to notice the abnormality of the water, and Lin Jinxiu relaxed and got up.

Lin Jinxiu put the dough in a damp cloth and covered it, poured most of the oil from half a pot, and began to light a fire, ready to burn the oil.

Cui Xu looked at her as if she was going to fry something, but seeing that she was just making a dough, she couldn't understand it.

While burning the oil, Lin Jinxiu pulled a small piece of dough off the dough and pressed it into a circle on the cutting board.

Just like making dumpling skins, Lin Jinxiu kneaded and rolled out the small dough in her hand as much as possible.

It would be nice if there was a mold, Lin Jinxiu said in his heart.

With the mold, she was able to make all the patties into a standard round shape, which was both beautiful and neat.

One after another small dough cakes were neatly placed in front of Lin Jinxiu, she took a deep breath and picked up chopsticks and spoons.

At this moment, Lin Jinxiu suddenly smelled the aroma of meat coming from the field, and when he looked back, it was indeed from the shopkeeper of Wangfu Restaurant.

I saw that the fat face of the shopkeeper Wang was full of fanaticism, and the half-cooked meat was tumbling in the pot in his hand, and the fragrance wafting up seemed to be able to spread all over the street!

And the shopkeeper of Qingshengzhai next to him was not to be outdone, although the green vegetables in his hand did not exude any amazing smell, but at a glance, it was a vibrant green scene.

In addition, the shopkeeper Su was dressed in spotless white, and his movements were elegant and free, which even caused the screams of the little girls around!

Before she could finish reading it, Lin Jinxiu's side suddenly came with a heavy blow, and she saw that the person at the No. 2 table next to her was carrying a fish in his hand, and slammed it on the board.

The competition seemed to be in a heated state, and almost all the fighters were fighting their best.

Not only should you do your own food well, but also do it beautifully and act chicly, so as to attract the eyes of the masses and attract more popularity and business for yourself.

Except for Lin Jinxiu and Cui Xu, there is no special situation on the side of Lin Jinxiu and Cui Xu, on the remaining eight long tables, whether it is the aroma, the visual impact, or the enthusiasm and momentum when they cook, it makes the competition in this game more intense.

That's right, who doesn't want to get a good ranking.

"Half the time left! Most of the players are in the finishing stages, and it seems that we have plenty of time to give! But! ”

The storyteller changed his words: "There seems to be no movement here from our No. 1 shopkeeper Lin and Shopkeeper Cui of Qinghe Building!" ”

As a host, the storyteller naturally wants to make the competition more intense.

However, he couldn't understand what Lin Jinxiu was doing here, and Cui Xu didn't move at all, and he didn't have the atmosphere of wanting to compete seriously.

Hey, you two, this should be the biggest highlight of this competition!

Try your best!

Lin Jinxiu looked at the situation around her and looked down at the things in her hand with satisfaction.

Since everyone is working so hard, she can only be outdone!

Lin Jinxiu bit her lip and poked out the smiling faces of the dough cakes in front of her one by one, although it can't be completely guaranteed to be the same, but Lin Jinxiu is already very satisfied with it as it is now.

"It's like a girl can make food." Cui Xu hooked his lips and smiled, "Interesting." ”

Lin Jinxiu didn't answer him, but reached out to the oil pan, and found that the oil temperature was enough, so he put the small cakes smeared with a thin layer of flour on both sides into the pot.
