"Little girl, where are you from, do you know the rules of our pilgrims." Liu Qing, the shopkeeper, looked at the girl in front of him with half-squinted eyes, and finally found a clue.

This little girl looks arrogant when she speaks, but in fact, she has a plan hidden in her heart, and she looks indifferent and relaxed, and she really doesn't look like she is from the countryside.

Qiao You smiled and looked at the boss, "I naturally know the rules here." ”

Pilgrims claim to be the most delicious in the world, and naturally it is inevitable that someone will come back to kick the restaurant.

It is a two-sided competition, and the guests present try their talents, so as to determine the winner.

If you lose by kicking the restaurant, you must be a buddy in the pilgrims for half a year. If the cook who came to the pilgrim lost, he automatically left the pilgrim and was replaced by the person who came to kick the hall.

Pilgrims have been in the city for at least five years, and no one has ever been successful in kicking the hall.

Everyone in the room looked at Qiao You, and they didn't think that such a little girl would win at all.

"This little girl looks beautiful, but she can't be a fool." The man in yellow spoke slowly, looking at Qiao You downstairs, only feeling that she was beyond her strength.

However, the man in Tsing Yi sitting opposite him shook his head, and something seemed to flash in his eyes, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

With that, he got up and walked downstairs.

"Hey, Yuan Ziyi, you wait for me, where are you going?" The man in yellow hurriedly chased after him.

The cyan robe had already reached downstairs, and Qiao You was walking towards the back kitchen.

In the restaurant, the guests sneered.

"Come on, come on, I'll bet a hundred taels, and that girl will definitely lose." A man took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from the sachet on his waist and threw it directly on the table.

People around rushed to place bets.

"I'll bet one hundred and fifty taels, and that girl will lose."

"Hahaha, I'll bet fifty taels too, I'll press that girl to lose."

The original restaurant now seems to have become a casino, and the shopkeeper directly locked up the restaurant, and the room was a little darker.

In the back kitchen, a rugged man stood opposite Qiao You.

The man is not tall, but his body looks very stout, and his face is dark, and he should have been smoked by fire in this back kitchen all year round.

The eyes skimmed over her body, and then sneered disdainfully, "Shopkeeper, where did this rural girl come from, why did you bring it here." I'm not going to make comparisons when I see people. ”

The implication is to look down on Qiao You.

The shopkeeper was also helpless, and glanced at the young man standing at the door of the back kitchen, and became nervous, and pulled the cook to the side, not knowing what to say.

Qiao You looked around, the back kitchen of this pilgrim was really unusual, and it was almost the same as the two in their yard.

"Girl, do you know who this man is?" Yuan Ziyi walked to Qiao You's side, fanned the folding fan with white bamboo in his hand, and said unsmoothly.

Hearing this voice, Qiao You raised his head, and the thing in front of him was a very handsome young man, wearing a long shirt, the whole person was a little more elegant, with a pair of narrow eyes, and he didn't look like a good stubble.

This is the back kitchen of the pilgrims, except for the pilgrims who come here, it is the proprietor behind it who can come in.

In front of him, he is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he likes to wear green shirts so much, it should be Yuan Ziyi, the young owner of the Yuan family!

She raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the cook who was not very tall, and said, "Xu Sixiao, the head of the imperial chef who came out of the Imperial City Palace, how can I not recognize it." ”

This Xu Sixiao is actually half an adult, after all, the imperial chef in the palace is also of grade, the head of this imperial kitchen, it can be seen that the things made by his subordinates, even if they are not the most delicious things in the world, they must not be far behind.

Yuan Ziyi smiled softly and said slowly, "This Xu Sixiao came to Yecheng five years ago and became a cook for pilgrims, and since then, this pilgrim has become famous, and the Yuan family has developed rapidly. ”

The man in yellow next to him glanced at him when he heard this, and he didn't know what kind of madness this Yuan Ziyi had, and he actually talked about this with this little girl.

Besides, everyone in the city knows what he said.

"It's a pity, don't you think it's strange that a good chef doesn't do it, and he goes to such a remote place to be a little chef?"

“？？”

Hearing Qiao You's words, Yuan Ziyi was stunned, subconsciously looked at the little girl beside her, raised her eyebrows, and was about to ask, but she had already walked in front of Xu Sixiao.

Xu Sixiao glanced at the shopkeeper, and finally started the competition with a little girl in front of him.

To be honest, he didn't pay attention to the little girl in front of him who was less than his shoulder. When Qiao You caught a carp from the bucket next to him, he still wanted to remind him.

This fish is a waste of time, and the heat and knife skills, and even the ingredients can not make any mistakes, even whether the knife is sharp or not may affect the taste of the carp.

He glanced at the little girl next to him, only to see that she calmly put the carp on the table, seemed to be a little dissatisfied and muttered a few words, and then picked up the kitchen knife next to him and swiped it on the back of the fish.

In a few moments, all the scales of the whole carp fell off, and if you looked closely, there was not a single scratch on the carp's flesh, and there was not a single star of scales left on it.

The people around gasped, and finally realized that this little girl was not simple.

Just after two strokes, this fish scale is handled so cleanly, I'm afraid it's not a simple character.

Xu Sixiao didn't take it lightly, and found a piece of good pork to quickly process on the sticky board.

By the time Qiao You got out the internal organs of the carp, Xu Sixiao's pork had already been blanched in the pot.

Qiao You poured oil into the pot unhurriedly, then coated some flour on the fish, and quickly fried it in the pot at the temperature of seven layers of hot oil until golden on both sides.

The fish was slashed four times on each side, and she stuffed some ginger and green onions into it, which smelled fishy from the fish, and then poured some wine into the oil. Not only to remove the fish, but also to better taste.

Of course, these are basic techniques.

When the fish was golden, she pushed the carp to the side of the pot, removed most of the oil and water from the pot, and then added seasonings to it.

Surprisingly, she added sugar and vinegar to it without adding salt.

What is this practice?

Yuan Ziyi and the others looked puzzled.

Qiao You didn't know that at this time, they didn't know that there was also a sweet and sour technique, this sweet and sour Yellow River carp was the best dish in the Chinese food she was exposed to.

In addition, the meat of carp is very delicious and very tender, so it is the most suitable for sweet and sour meat.

She covered the pot, and stood next to her and waited silently, not caring about Xu Sixiao next to her at all.

Such a calm and calm appearance was something that those who had come to the gym before had never had, after all, they were opposite the head of the imperial chef in the palace.

When the water in the pot boils, add some flour to it and stir quickly, there is no starch here, and she can only use flour to replace it temporarily, although it is not at all comparable to the sticky feeling brought by starch, but it is also better than nothing.

When the carp in her pot was put into the plate, Xu Sixiao's meat next to her was also ready, it was a difficult pork hemp lotus, just out of the pot, the aroma inside suddenly came to her face, faintly suppressing her.

Qiao You was not in a hurry, took the coriander next to it and scalded it in hot water, quickly volatilized its special flavor, and placed it next to the carp, which became the finishing touch of this dish.

The carp's shark fin on the plate is bent up, the color of the fish body is like red amber, and a layer of sticky sauce is poured on top, which makes you look appetizing.

The two dishes were on the table of the restaurant, which was specially made for the people who kicked the restaurant.

The aroma of the fish spreads, almost on par with the pork hemp next to it, except that the small coriander plant next to it is decorated, and the crispy aroma of the fish meat is mixed together, and the other smells are perfectly suppressed.

Yuan Ziyi, who was watching next to him, couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks and taste a bite of carp, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the fish meat was sweet and sour with sugar and vinegar, which was not strange as imagined, but a peculiar delicacy.

The two dishes on the table were quickly swept away by the guests, who didn't know who made the dish, so there would be no fraud.

Soon, these people gave evaluations.

"Don't say it, this little girl is not bad at cooking, the taste of this pork and hemp lotus is similar to that made by Lord Xu, if it weren't for the strange taste of this fish, maybe I would really vote for this little girl."

"That's right, it's the first time I've seen this carp do this, so it should be a new one made by Lord Xu."

……

Listening to the words of those people, Yuan Ziyi and the shopkeeper all understood that this time, it was Xu Sixiao who lost.

When everyone heard that the carp was actually made by such a little girl, they were shocked.

How is it possible for a fourteen-year-old girl to cook better than the chefs who come out of the palace?

But the results were just around the corner, and they couldn't believe it.

Everyone only felt a hot pain in their cheeks, as if they had been beaten, and they said half an hour ago that this girl was unashamed and delusional.

Unexpectedly, people are real people who don't show their likeness!

"The girl is so good, I Xu Sixiao is willing to bow down, but I still want to ask, what is the name of this dish girl?" Xu Sixiao is also a dignified man, and he didn't feel unconvinced when he lost to a little girl like her.

Qiao You smiled softly, and told her the name and the cooking method.

Xu Sixiao, who listened to this, was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, his pupils widened and looked at her, "Girl, you just tell me the method, aren't you afraid that I will steal the teacher?" ”

He subconsciously thought that this dish was the little girl's work at the bottom of the box, so it was surprising to say it.

"What's this, it's just a dish, I make it, you make it." She waved her hand, not paying attention.

Xu Sixiao's heart was shocked, and she gave up her hand, "Teachable, girl, you won, from now on, the first chef of the pilgrims will be yours." ”

"Wait."
