Chapter 361: Artisanal Cream Cheese
Lin Jinxiu first made the sauce that needed to be placed on the vegetables.
Putting lemon, sesame and other sauces together, adding sugar, a little salt, peanut butter and other sweet and sour sauces, Lin Jinxiu recalled the taste of the sauce in the light food he had eaten in his previous life, and constantly adjusted the amount of sauce.
In Lin Jinxiu's heart, the sauce in the light meal for fat reduction is very important, because the taste of the vegetables themselves is relatively light, and the original taste of the vegetables needs to be guided through the sauce.
At this time, Xiao Yushu was on the side of the pot, and the cooking oil was boiled, which was a test of people's skills.
Because vegetables are already juicy, if they are in the pot for too short a time, the vegetables will not be ripe, and if they are in the pot for too long, they will become soft and have no taste.
Xiao Yushu obviously has a lot of experience in the time of making this vegetable, whether it is accessories such as onions, ginger and garlic, or main vegetables such as cabbage and broccoli, turning in her pot, it is as if it has been crossed with a layer of brilliance, making the already verdant color appear more vivid.
The shopkeeper on the floor seemed to have nothing to do, because his task could not start until Lin Jinxiu and Xiao Yushu were almost successful.
When the contestants in the audience were in full swing, the little brother in charge of hosting on the stage turned his attention to the judges.
I saw the five judges looking at the contestants in the audience attentively, except for Lu Yimei, who had been asking questions to Huai Yanqing beside her.
"Is there a place you want to go to the state capital this time?"
"There's nothing yet." Huai Yanqing smiled politely, "Actually, this king is here to help his friends." ”
It may be that Huai Yanqing's refusal gave Lu Yimei a chance, even though Huai Yanqing had already shown his interest in the chefs who were cooking, Lu Yimei still blinked her eyes and wanted to get closer to Huai Yanqing.
The little brother in charge of hosting was a little embarrassed, and turned to look at Qin Shuyao in the audience.
In fact, the position where Huai Yanqing was sitting today was originally Qin Shuyao's, but Huai Yanqing wanted to eat, so Qin Shuyao gave up his position to him on the grounds that he still had to transfer the scene.
When Qin Shuyao saw Lu Yimei's actions, he knew that this girl probably wanted to slap Huai Yanqing, so he gave the little brother a look.
The little brother who presided over was obviously a smart person, and after receiving Qin Shuyao's eyes, he walked to the judges' seats very naturally, and began to ask a few judges with a smile on his face.
"My lords, what do you think of the following chefs?"
Hearing the little brother's words, Lu Yimei finally reluctantly took back her eyes.
"The performance of the three people in the state capital is very exciting!" The two restaurant chefs looked at the team in the state capital.
Chu Tian and Senior Brother Cao were boiling soup, while Chen Hongyi was holding a delicate knife in his hand and carving on the raw radish.
"The knife seemed to come alive in his hands, as if he were not a cook, but a carver."
The two chefs of the restaurant spared no effort to praise Chen Hongyi's knife skills, but they didn't expect Zang Tong to snort coldly beside them.
"The carrots are cooked in the wrong way, and too much salt is put in it, which is a waste of time."
Zang Tong's words were indeed aimed at his apprentice, and his dissatisfaction was also grounded.
Because this was a mistake by Chu Tian, after the carrot was steamed, he pinched it with his hand, and found that it was still very hard, so he changed to the way of cooking.
In fact, the speed of his processing is already very fast, and it is also a challenge to prepare all the dishes in two hours.
However, in Zang Tong's heart, as long as he didn't get it done all at once, it would be a shame and a waste of time.
"Others are mediocre." After Lu Yimei took her eyes off Huai Yanqing, she seemed to have no interest in everything in front of her, but her eyes swept back and forth twice on the field, and suddenly pointed in the direction of Lin Jinxiu.
"But what is the girl doing? I don't understand. ”
There is still a method that Lu Yimei can't understand?
Everyone, including Huai Yanqing, set their eyes on Lin Jinxiu.
At this time, Lin Jinxiu was holding a gauze in her hand, and the bottom of the gauze was round as if a ball-like thing was wrapped, and she was squeezing the ball very hard to squeeze out the water in it.
"What is this doing?"
There were question marks in the hearts of several judges, and even Zang Tong didn't understand Lin Jinxiu's operation.
After Lin Jinxiu opened the gauze in her hand, it was full of white milk lumps.
"It's done." Lin Jinxiu said to the two people beside him, "Open the pot." ”
Lin Jinxiu put the ball of things in his hand into the basin, changed positions with Xiao Yushu, and went to the front of the pot.
Some of the people on the high platform couldn't sit still.
Because the stove operated by Lin Jinxiu was a little far away from the high platform, the only person who could see Lin Jinxiu's movements clearly was Huai Yanqing.
At this time, Lu Yimei's attention was also attracted by Lin Jinxiu, and she even forgot about fishing for the prince.
Huai Yanqing saw that several people stood up, his sincere neck squinted his eyes to see clearly, he simply stood up, walked off the stage, and walked towards Lin Jinxiu's side.
When passing by the stove of the state capital, Huai Yanqing also whispered hello to Chu Tian, in exchange for a smile.
Huai Yanqing didn't make any sound when he stepped off the high platform this time, and even he walked to him, and many chefs found that the prince was standing by their side.
Some timid people slipped their hands and directly destroyed the half-finished products in their hands, screaming in anger.
This scene was naturally watched by a few people on the high platform, but a chef with such psychological quality, seeing a prince playing alone, all reacted like this, if he came to the side of the imperial chef in the future, wouldn't he have to smash the dishes in his hand every day?
The chef who was trying to make up for it didn't know that he had been eliminated before he knew it.
Huai Yanqing went around in a big circle and finally walked to Lin Jinxiu's side.
"What is this?" Huai Yanqing asked.
Lin Jinxiu found that this person ran next to her like a ghost, her head was almost frightened, her hand shook, and the plate was almost buckled into the pot, but fortunately she reacted quickly and caught it.
"If you were so scared that I put the plate in the pot, I would have beaten you up on the spot right now, do you believe it or not?" Lin Jinxiu came back to her senses, a smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth, and she teased Huai Yanqing viciously.
The voices of the two were so small that the people next to them could barely hear them clearly, and the people on the high platform could only see that the girl was only frightened by his appearance when the prince sneaked up to her quietly.
Then the two discussed in a whisper, the girl was not afraid of talking to the prince so closely.
Zang Tong, who knew the truth, decided not to tell the two of them about each other.
"I don't believe it." Huai Yanqing smiled, "There are so many people, you are pretending not to know me now, and you are absolutely embarrassed to do it." ”
Lin Jinxiu was recognized by Huai Yanqing, sighed happily, boiled oil, and continued to do his own work.
"What is this?" Huai Yanqing asked again.
"Soup, French mushroom cream soup." Lin Jinxiu replied, "I'll bring it to you for a while." ”
Huai Yanqing stretched out his finger and pointed to the piece of thing that Lin Jinxiu had just made, "What is that?" ”
"I said it was made of milk, do you believe it?" Lin Jinxiu narrowed her eyes, "You go back and sit down, and you'll know in a while." ”
Huai Yanqing originally came down to inquire about the things in Lin Jinxiu's hands for the people around him, but now that he got the answer he wanted, he returned to the high platform.
"Did the prince ask it?" Several pairs of eyes around looked at Huai Yanqing.
"She just said it was made of milk." Huai Yanqing shrugged, "But I don't say what it is." ”
Made of milk? The crowd was in doubt.
They didn't expect milk to clot and even be used for other dishes.
"I've heard that the nomads in the north make milk in lumps that they can carry with them when they travel, and I wonder if this girl is the same as they do."
Until the real dish comes out, whatever they say is just speculation.
Huai Yanqing sat next to him like a good baby, and he didn't intervene when a few chefs said anything, because he was just a prince.
Well, I'm here to eat.
The thing Lin Jinxiu made is a simple version of cream cheese for home use.
Although it may not be as delicious as the one sold in modern supermarkets, this peculiar way was a very wonderful visual sense for ancient people.
Lin Jinxiu did the steps of boiling milk last night, and after the water was dried, she found a cool place to put it, and then did the final water twisting step this morning.
Lin Jinxiu's purpose in doing this is very simple - you can't buy cream here.
And the three people in Yunzhu County had to find a rich soup that was suitable for the refreshing taste of vegetarian dishes as the final decoration.
So Lin Jinxiu came up with a French meal that could be made at home - cream soup.
At this time, the shopkeeper is carving the work, the fresh vegetables are better to cut, and the shape and carving of the selection must be kept intact, not too fine, not too rough.
The pursuit of the three of them is to make a dish that can be eaten from the inside out.
Lin Jinxiu's unprecedented operation attracted not only the judges on the stage, but also their opponents.
Opposite Lin Jinxiu and them, the opponents of Linsi County had been looking at them from time to time.
After seeing that Lin Jinxiu's operation attracted the five people on the stage, even more eye-catching than their operation in the state capital, the three people glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that their situation might be a little dangerous.
You know, the chef competition is not just a competition to compare who cooks deliciously.
"Gotta figure figure out how to win them." Several of the people in the heir looked at each other and reached a consensus, "No matter what kind of means are used." ”
"There's no hurry." The man who had quarreled with Lin Jinxiu, "Wait a little longer, and go back when they are almost ready to cook." ”
On the other hand, looking at Lin Jinxiu's side, they didn't seem to realize that the people on the other side had bad intentions, but completed the work in their hands quietly and dedicatedly.
