The business of the newly opened restaurant is booming, and Li Chuxia is more and more happy to see that life is gradually getting on the right track.

There is a tradition in northern Xinjiang that any restaurant that wins at the harvest festival can get the master food god recipe, and according to rumors, as long as you get this recipe, you will not have to worry about no business in the future.

Although Li Chuxia is already very satisfied with the current popularity of the restaurant, he is still curious about what the legendary God of Food recipe looks like.

After all, in Li Chuxia's eyes, the pursuit of higher cooking skills is what she has always pursued.

Li Chuxia happily told Baili Yunzheng the news, hoping to get the support of the other party.

Baili Yunzheng tugged at Li Chuxia's cheek dotingly, "Do whatever you want, I will support you no matter what." ”

"Yun Zheng, you're so nice." Li Chuxia's face was rare and red, with the posture of a little daughter's family.

Such a shy Li Chuxia is really rare, since the child was taken away by the Lang family, Li Chuxia has been worried almost all day, Baili Yunzheng often sees her looking at a certain place and is distracted, and she doesn't even know that she is here.

Now seeing Li Chuxia's heartfelt smile, Baili Yunzheng felt that the previous Li Chuxia had returned.

"By the way, Yun Zheng, I need your help to participate in the competition this time." Li Chuxia looked at Baili Yunzheng with a pair of wet eyes, so that Baili Yunzheng had no room to refuse.

"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?" Baili Yunzheng said helplessly, but the smile in the corner of his eyes revealed his joy.

Li Chuxia smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice, "I won't tell you now, I'll know when the time comes." ”

After speaking, he winked at Baili Yunzheng and jumped out.

Although they are all restaurants in northern Xinjiang that are competing, in order to stand out from many northern Xinjiang restaurants, they must have attractive and distinctive dishes.

Since it was decided that he was going to participate in the competition, Li Chuxia stayed in the kitchen almost all the time, and the restaurant was handed over to Baili Yunzheng to take care of, and even his daughter was guarded by Baili Yunzheng.

It is said to cultivate the relationship between father and daughter.

Baili Yunzheng was playing with his daughter, and Li Chuxia came out with a plate of dishes sweating profusely.

"Come and help me taste it, I always feel that this taste is wrong, and I can't tell what is wrong." Li Chuxia was quite annoyed, this was the eighth time she had done it, and it still didn't achieve the expected results.

Baili Yunzheng picked up the chopsticks and began to savor them, Li Chuxia looked at him nervously, and he was a little nervous.

After tasting it, Baili Yunzheng tasted it again in his mouth before saying, "The first bite of this dish is amazing, but the more I go on, the more flat it feels, as if something is missing." ”

Li Chuxia nodded again and again, "I think so too, but I don't know what to add." ”

"Northern Xinjiang cuisine is the heaviest spice, and people in the Central Plains are not used to eating Northern Xinjiang cuisine when they feel like they have eaten a mouthful of seasoning. I know you want to avoid this problem, so you use less spices, but there is one of the most famous spices in Northern Xinjiang, which tastes bland but has an endless aftertaste, and many restaurants in Northern Xinjiang will choose to use this flavor to add flavor to their dishes. ”

This remark made Li Chuxia feel empowered, and she was indeed a little afraid of the excessive flavor of spices to cover up the taste of the ingredients themselves.

"I understand that these spices are both the disadvantages of northern Xinjiang cuisine but also its advantages, and we can't blindly avoid them, but let them get their due play in the dishes."

Li Chuxia was very thoughtful, and almost instantly figured out what was bothering her these days.

Baili Yunzheng was very satisfied with the tacit understanding between him and Li Chuxia, and he had a hunch that the dishes made by Li Chuxia this time would definitely amaze the entire northern Xinjiang.

As the harvest festival approaches, the kitchens in each restaurant are frying and cooking almost all day long, in order to become famous at the harvest festival.

But Li Chuxia is not in a hurry, except for studying new dishes with Baili Yunzheng in the kitchen every day, he is asking the opinions of guests in the lobby.

Whether the cooked dish is in line with the taste of the people of northern Xinjiang, and whether this dish can attract repeat customers.

According to Li Chuxia's idea, it is easy to deviate from the preferences of the people just by burying his head in the kitchen to develop new dishes, and only those who have been evaluated by the people can succeed.

On the day of the harvest festival, the restaurant's cooking competition was held in an open space, and Baili Yunzheng took his daughter to cheer Li Chuxia up, and the atmosphere was extremely hot.

Bai Liqing's eyes rolled slightly, she pointed to the people around her and asked Li Chuxia, "Mother, are so many people here to eat your dishes?" ”

In Bai Liqing's small cognition, she thinks that the dishes made by her mother are simply the best in the world.

Li Chuxia laughed suddenly, "No, they are here to compete with their mothers." ”

"Race?" Bai Liqing couldn't understand why her mother was already so powerful and still came to participate in the competition, but she obviously didn't take the others seriously.

"That mother must be the first!"

Li Chuxia accepted her daughter's wild words without being reserved at all, which caused dissatisfaction among the people around her, most of them didn't know Li Chuxia, seeing that she was young and didn't look like she could cook, but she didn't take the old-timers in her eyes at all, and for a while, there was a muttering discussion around Li Chuxia.

The game started soon, the scene was quiet, the host was the champion of the previous session, he stood in the center and looked at the number of people in this year's competition, and said loudly, "The dish to be done in the first level is called 'Four Seasons Like Spring', all the contestants have an hour to do, the ingredients are provided by us, and once the illegal use of their own ingredients is found, they will withdraw from the competition." ”

As soon as this statement came out, the restaurants that originally wanted to think carefully were all in order, it doesn't matter if they lose this game, at least there is a chance to turn the tables, if they cheat and are punished out, then they can only wait for next year.

The ingredients distributed in each restaurant are the same, and it doesn't seem to be difficult, Li Chuxia rummaged in the ingredient basket a few times, and sure enough, she discovered the mystery.

Among them, many other restaurants also found it, staring at the food basket and turning it upside down, stunned that they didn't find the most critical thing.

Li Chuxia combined the ingredients in his heart and started to make them without hesitation.

Time passed quickly, and when there was only half an hour left, Li Chuxia prepared all the dishes, and at the same time, several gongs sounded in the arena, reminding the players that time was running out.

It's just that there are many people who brush it down in the first level, and there are very few people like Li Chuxia who does it quickly and smells good.

Several judges were full of praise for Li Chuxia's work after tasting the dishes, and unanimously announced that Li Chuxia was the winner of the first level.

"She's cheating, she should be kicked out!" There was a complaint from the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, almost half of the people protested, and the judges obviously did not expect this to happen, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Li Chuxia was so noisy that he had a headache, and Baili Yunzheng next to him put the wooden crutch on the table fiercely, making a loud noise to stop the scene.

Li Chuxia straightened his waist and asked loudly, "I said that I cheated, I hope you will show evidence!" ”

The same voice from before, hiding in the crowd and saying, "There is no oil in the ingredients at all, but you use oil in the dishes, this is not cheating!" ”

Many people were defeated by the important prop of not having oil, and they naturally suspected that Li Chuxia had stolen the oil he brought.

Li Chuxia did not speak immediately, but took out a plate of meat scraps that had been fried dry and crispy.

"The fat can be cut separately and fried to make oil, and the rest is this plate of oil residue in my hand."

The people around looked at each other, and they had never seen this kind of operation. Seeing that they were not convinced, Li Chuxia asked the person who organized the competition to ask for a piece of fat and demonstrated it in front of everyone.

The fat meat made a "sizzling" sound in the pot, and the aroma wafted out with the fried oil.

A dish of oil was refined in this way, and people who were previously skeptical could not help but applaud, some of whom had been chefs all their lives, but this was the first time they had seen such a practice.

Everyone had no objection to Li Chuxia's victory, and the second level required to make Central Plains dishes, and the time was still an hour.

Li Chuxia, who had heard the Central Plains cuisine, raised her eyebrows in surprise, for the chefs in northern Xinjiang, the Central Plains cuisine was a big test, but for her, it was as simple as cooking home-cooked food.

This time, just over half an hour later, Li Chuxia prepared the dish, and the scoring criteria for the second level was that the chefs and judges who participated in the second level jointly selected the winners.

Li Chuxia is quite confident in her cooking skills, compared to others, the dishes she made were eaten cleanly, and some wanted to reminisce about it, so she stretched out her chopsticks and found that the plate was long gone.

"I take the liberty of asking, may I ask if this girl still accepts apprentices." A big man who looked like he was in his thirties and asked sincerely.

Li Chuxia was a little surprised, "You and I are both chefs, I'm just good at Central Plains cuisine, and when you are a master, you overestimate me." ”

Dahan obviously didn't give up, and struggled to say: "I sincerely want to apprentice, girl, think about it again!" ”

"In the future, if you have time, it's okay to ask each other for advice, but I can't accept it."

The people next to them watched this apprenticeship show, knowing that the winner of this session was probably this little girl they originally looked down on.

The third level is not limited to the theme, allowing players to play freely. Li Chuxia thought of the dish he made with Baili Yunzheng, and had a plan in his heart.

Half an hour later, Li Chuxia put the work in the center and introduced it loudly, "The name of this dish is 'Winged Bird', which is made up of two dishes. ”

This "winged bird" is made of two birds with their necks entwined, one white and one pink, and the rough northern Xinjiang cuisine visually opens up the gap.

The judges glanced at each other and unanimously dedicated the first chopsticks to Li Chuxia's "Winged Bird". After eating "Winged Bird", I only felt that it was ordinary and unremarkable when I ate other dishes.

The last year's God of Chef motioned for everyone to be quiet, "After several hours of competition, our judges unanimously agreed that the winner of this year's God of Food recipe is Li Chuxia!" ”

Baili Yunzheng took the lead in applauding, and there was a sound of blessings all around.

And in the crowd, a man in black watched all this coldly, and then left without a trace.

After this harvest festival, Li Chuxia became famous, and even the restaurant business with her was extremely hot, and there was an endless stream of people who came to try Li Chuxia's dishes. There are still many people who find Li Chuxia's house, just to see who is as sacred as the god of food.
