Chapter 211: Master, lend me something
As soon as he heard that the fried rice was going to be gone, Lin Jinxiu hurriedly got up from the ground and went to make the next pot of fried rice, he couldn't give up the consumption of the guests just because there was no main dish, and bought time for the remaining dish by the way.
"Yanqing, help me keep an eye on the judges' positions, and call me as soon as you appear in your field of vision."
"Okay." Huai Yanqing gave up his position in front of the stove.
He noticed that Lin Jinxiu was in a very bad mood at this time, and his forehead was full of cold sweat, but he didn't know what was going on, so he could only pat Lin Jinxiu's shoulder as comfort.
Lin Jinxiu felt that her shoulder was patted, and turned her head to smile at Huai Yanqing: "I'm fine."
Huai Yanqing smiled back at her, and then shifted his attention to the street, waiting to see if the judges showed up.
After waiting for I don't know how long, Lin Jinxiu was counting the seconds in her heart, so she simply didn't count, but focused her attention on the fried rice in her hand.
Although I am very devastated because of the satisfaction value, I can't be perfunctory with the fried rice at hand, and I must make the best fried rice that is not affected by my mood.
Thinking of this, Lin Jinxiu was crazy again!
Ahhh Don't trust space anymore!!
I don't know how long it took, Huai Yanqing flashed to Lin Jinxiu's side, and whispered into her ear: "Shopkeeper!" The judges are here! ”
Lin Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, followed Huai Yanqing's fingers, and saw that the group of people dressed in fancy clothes had already appeared next to Huang Tianhe's stall, trying the signature dish served by Huang Tianhe's hands.
When the judges chewed on the experience, Huang Tianhe seemed a little nervous.
He put his hands in front of him, and he looked a little shrunken even though he was tall and big, which was really funny.
"Not bad, not bad."
Among the judges was an old man with white eyebrows and long beard, who seemed to have eaten a lot of soup along the way, and his white beard was stained with some colors that could not be wiped off, which somewhat damaged his image of fairy wind bones.
But the old man obviously didn't care about this kind of thing, and his eyes were only a plate of dishes placed here.
"Okay, got it."
Lin Jinxiu threw the things at hand to Huai Yanqing, and got under the table again.
Ten minutes should have passed, right?
Entering the space, she ran all the way to the fish pond, and sure enough, she saw the words that could be harvested, and she resolutely harvested the carp and then went out of the space.
His pot was occupied by the fried rice, and Lin Jinxiu had to find a place to clean up the fish.
So she set her eyes on Huang Tianhe.
Because the judges have arrived here, the cooks of Ying Helou have stopped, which gives Lin Jinxiu an opportunity.
"Master! Seek help! ”
Huang Tianhe only heard Lin Jinxiu's voice coming from his left back, which kept coming out of his head, and then came out of his right ear, and the whole person was stunned.
Both he and the judges raised their heads curiously, and at the same time looked behind Huang Tianhe.
With the help of the little brothers behind him, Lin Jinxiu found the cutting board where they cut raw food, threw the carp in his hand up, scraped the scales, cut the fins, and removed the gills, the movements were smooth and clean, without any superfluous movements.
Huang Tianhe's eyes straightened when he saw it.
Lin Jinxiu's method of dissolving fish is exactly the same as his, or in other words, it can be seen at a glance that Lin Jinxiu learned it from Cui Xu.
Lin Jinxiu's slender hands didn't look as strong as their group of big men, in order not to hurt her hands, Lin Jinxiu's fingers were all skillful, a fish in her hands, not even much blood, was thrown into the water to deal with it.
How long has she Lin Jinxiu studied at most? Why are the movements in his hands so much sharper than those of his current apprentices?
This kind of fish removal process looks like a performance, Lin Jinxiu finished the work he wanted as if no one was around, and then took the fish back into his arms, grabbed the onion and garlic and a handful of chili peppers from the side and ran.
"The situation is urgent! Borrow something! Thank You, Master! ”
Lin Jinxiu shouted while running, and his voice entered from Huang Tianhe's right ear and came out from his left ear, and he didn't forget to give Huang Tianhe a bright smile before leaving.
All this happened like lightning, and after Lin Jinxiu left, Huang Tianhe and the judges in front of him slowly came back to their senses, and they didn't know what had just happened in their minds.
"Is that girl the apprentice of the Huang shopkeeper?" The white-bearded old man with half a piece of meat in his mouth chewing asked Huang Tianhe.
"Forehead......" Huang Tianhe pondered for a moment before saying, "She is actually my apprentice's apprentice......"
Listening to Huang Tianhe's answer, the old man's eyebrows raised upward: "Really?" It seems that you have a good relationship, and you will help each other in such a competition. ”
Huang Tianhe only said in his heart that Lin Jinxiu only greeted him but didn't give him time to reply at all, but he still smiled on the surface: "Ah, yes, because my apprentice works under her, there was an accident at her stall earlier, so it's good if you can help." ”
"That's it......" The old man looked in the direction where Lin Jinxiu ran away and muttered, "Seeing that her handling of fish is so professional, I hope her dishes can surprise me." ”
Although he said that he was helping, Huang Tianhe didn't know anything, so he could only smile at the judges.
"Hey, do you recognize it?"
There were whispers in the crowd.
"That old man, that ...... Whitebeard"
"It's the cook who returned to his hometown from the imperial dining room last year!"
The revelations in the crowd caused an uproar around them.
Actually a cook from the Imperial Dining Room? Isn't that ...... Have you taken care of the emperor's diet?
What a character, what a level!
And Lin Jinxiu and Huai Yanqing also heard such a message with their excellent hearing.
Lin Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, she ran too fast by herself, and she didn't notice who those so-called judges were, but now she really has a lot of background when she hears it.
And Huai Yanqing's reaction was more interesting, he looked very nervous, and his first reaction was to turn around, as if he was hiding from someone.
"Huh?" Huai Yanqing's movement aroused Lin Jinxiu's suspicions, but seeing that he was jumping faster than a rabbit, Lin Jinxiu really didn't have time to stop him and ask something.
She could only put this question in her heart and face the chef of the legendary imperial dining room herself.
However, compared to the reaction of other merchants, Lin Jinxiu seems to be much more relaxed, this chef of the imperial dining room is estimated to be at the level of three Michelin stars in modern times, and he has seen it when he talked about business with large companies before.
As long as the dishes in your hands can be done, the chef is just a cook, there is nothing to be afraid of!
How can a woman who is not even afraid of customers be afraid of a cook!
It seems that in Lin Jinxiu's heart, customers are the most terrible existence.
Seeing that the white-bearded old chef was getting closer and closer to his direction, Lin Jinxiu chuckled in his heart, and the movements in his hands continued to speed up.
Whether it is a side dish or a seasoning, Lin Jinxiu is racing against time, and the movements in his hands are like afterimages.
At this time, the white-bearded old chef happened to walk to the position of Qinghe Tower and stood in front of Cui Yingjie.
When Cui Yingjie faced the cook in the imperial dining room, he obviously restrained his arrogance and looked very humble.
He clasped his hands into fists and saluted the old cook, as if he were a young man with four good things.
If this demeanor is seen by Lin Jinxiu, I am afraid that her eyes can turn to the sky.
The old cook was very pleased to see the young man's spirit, and took up the plate he had placed in front of the stove.
The delicate square-shaped things inside are also placed with radish flowers and other decorations, which look very high-end, and I have to sigh that it is worthy of being produced by a big restaurant.
"Is this, aspic?" The old chef's voice also sounded full of wisdom, and he obviously looked like a chef, but judging from his temperament, it is estimated that some people believe that he is a poet.
"Yes." Cui Yingjie responded, "This is made with the skin of the best white pig in the county, and added to the secret sauce of my Qinghe Building. ”
As soon as he heard the words secret sauce, the old chef couldn't help but laugh softly, he picked up the spoon and cut off one of the pieces of meat jelly and put it in his mouth.
"I don't know what Cui Yingjie thinks......"
The information around him involuntarily entered Lin Jinxiu's ears.
"Obviously so good at making marinades and meat dishes, this time facing the judges of the imperial dining room, he actually used a dish like meat jelly, doesn't he want to go to the imperial dining room to study?"
Although he was concentrating on cooking the dishes in his hand, Lin Jinxiu still listened to the comments of the people around him about Huang Tianhe.
But she didn't have much to say in her heart.
After all, she hasn't learned much about meat dishes, and now she is asked to evaluate whether meat jelly or other meat dishes are better, she doesn't dare to talk nonsense.
However, these people's evaluations quickly slapped their faces, and the most important thing was that the first to give a voice of approval was actually the old chef who was in the limelight.
"The sauce is rich in flavor, and the meat jelly itself is impeccable, this little brother is really good at making meat, and even the leftovers such as meat skin can be handled so carefully, he is really talented."
Although Lin Jinxiu also had a general understanding of Cui Yingjie's level and status in the county town in the past few days, he was still surprised after hearing that he was praised by the imperial chef.
It turns out that this person's level is so high?
Even for the hard dish in Ying Helou, the old chef just said the words "not bad, not bad"?
"Shopkeeper, come on!"
Qinghelou is calm and leisurely, and Lin Jinxiu is like a battlefield.
The guests surrounding the stall did not urge Lin Jinxiu to order the fried rice, but helped Lin Jinxiu look at the position of the old chef and cheer Lin Jinxiu up.
Lin Jinxiu gritted her teeth, forcing all the steps in her brain to be clear, and using her fastest speed, she wanted to make the fish in her hand before the old chef arrived.
The salt was almost gone, and Lin Jinxiu had almost dug up the bottom of the jar, but it was still a little short of the most suitable amount.
Why did I forget to borrow some salt when I went to Yinghe Tower!
But now it was too late, so Lin Jinxiu had to pour a little more soy sauce to adjust the taste.
It's really too much trouble to have no help with the cook, everything has to be done by yourself, and you don't even have the opportunity to look at your opponent a little.
"Shopkeeper, the judges are here!"
