Chapter 60: Won the first game
So, Qi Erfeng also smiled politely at Pei Fangcai. She had secretly decided in her heart that no matter what the result of today's competition was, she would include Pei Fangcai under her command.
Because of this thought, Qi Erfeng understood that in today's competition, she had to win Pei Fang. is also a chef, Qi Erfeng understands the psychology of top chefs best, if the other party can't beat him in skills, he won't serve the other party convincingly.
Elder Fang had been slowly tasting Qi Erfeng's cold dishes, as if he was not disturbed by the movement on the field at all. At this time, seeing that Li Daniu had been driven down, and there were only two people left on the field, Qi Erfeng and Pei Fangcai, he simply crossed Li Daniu's dish directly, and stretched his chopsticks to Pei Fangcai's Erlong Play Pearl.
After swallowing a mouthful of food, Elder Fang frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied.
Qi Erfeng looked at Elder Fang curiously, looking at him like that, as if he had high expectations for Pei Fangcai's original cooking skills. However, it is obvious that Pei Fangcai's dish did not meet his expectations.
Sure enough, Elder Fang spoke: "Pei Fangcai, your craft has returned today!" ”
"Yes, thank you Elder Fang for your comments." Unlike Li Daniu, Pei Fangcai did not question the judges' opinions at all, but listened respectfully.
"I've also eaten a lot of cold dishes you make on weekdays, and compared to today's Double Dragon Playing Pearl, the dishes on weekdays are much better." Elder Fang wiped his mouth with a square towel, and looked at Pei Fangcai with a look of pity in his eyes.
Pei Fangcai smiled slightly: "Actually, in my opinion, my skills have not changed, but today, Elder Fang, you have eaten Miss Qi's dishes, and then tasted mine, with the good ones to compare and refer to in front, you will naturally feel that my dishes today have lost their previous level." ”
Elder Fang was stunned, he didn't expect Pei Fang to say such a thing. Isn't this a clear admission that Qi Erfeng's cooking skills are better than his Pei Fangcai?
"Hehe, don't be modest with your brother, I've eaten this drunken Xianju delicacy for so many years, don't I even have this comment?" Elder Fang didn't think that Pei Fangcai's cooking skills were inferior to Qi Erfeng, he felt that it was just that Pei Fangcai had slightly lost his level today.
Hearing Elder Fang say this, Pei Fangcai couldn't tell anymore, so he could only smile awkwardly and be silent.
Although Elder Fang didn't admit Pei Fangcai's words, Pei Fangcai's words just now set off a storm in his heart. Is that really the case? Because of Qi Erfeng's dishes compared in front, do you think Pei Fangcai's dishes are not as delicious as in the past?
Elder Fang took a closer look, and he was surprised to find that the more he recalled, the more he felt that what Pei Fangcai said was right.
Thinking of this, Elder Fang couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks again and taste Qi Erfeng's dishes. This tasting doesn't matter, as soon as he tastes it, he finds that the dishes made by Pei Fangcai are even more bland.
This, this, this...... There's really no harm if there's no comparison.
The other three judges also tasted Pei Fangcai's dishes, and the three of them felt that Pei Fangcai's dishes were also very good.
The result of the first game was already obvious, Qi Erfeng's dish won the approval of the four judges, while Pei Fangcai's dish was only considered good by three judges, so Qi Erfeng won the first game.
When the master of ceremonies announced the results of the first game, Qi Erfeng's heart was calm, Pei Fangcai looked calm and calm on the surface, but in fact, there was still some bad taste in his heart, after all, Qi Erfeng was young and unknown in Feilong County, he lost the first game, and he was really a little embarrassed.
The competition continued, and in the second game, the two people needed to make a hot dish.
Pei Fang entered the back kitchen first, and when Qi Erfeng entered, he was already cutting vegetables.
"Uncle Pei, what are you going to cook in this game?" Because he had already won the first game, Qi Erfeng's mentality was relatively relaxed, and seeing that Pei Fang was busy, he couldn't help but lean over and ask curiously.
In fact, when she asked, she didn't think that Pei Fang would answer, after all, this was a competition, not cooking in the kitchen on weekdays. However, what Qi Erfeng didn't expect was that Pei Fangcai not only answered, but also answered in detail.
"The second dish I'm going to make is fish, because Elder Fang likes to eat fish. However, not all fish he likes in the elderly, and his favorite food is the pike with few spines. Pei Fangcai said patiently.
He replied so frankly and unabashedly, but it made Qi Erfeng a little embarrassed.
"Uncle Pei, you don't have to be like this, I know that you and Li Daniu don't like me to compete with the two of you." Qi Erfeng said with some embarrassment.
Pei Fangcai hurriedly waved his hand: "No, maybe before I came, I was a little reluctant to compete with you, after all, I don't know where you are sacred, but when I saw you today, I have a feeling of meeting an opponent in chess." Moreover, I think that winning or losing in the cooking competition is secondary, and the key is to make everyone eat delicious food. ”
"That's what you really think?" Qi Erfeng was very surprised. Who else has such a big heart?
Pei Fang was noncommittal, just smiled faintly, and then turned back and continued to work on his own dishes.
Qi Erfeng looked at his slightly hunched back and his white hair, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart. This old man is not simple! Qi Erfeng found that she liked getting along with Pei Fangcai more and more.
Since Pei Fangcai had already told her about his dish, Qi Erfeng naturally couldn't hide it, so Qi Erfeng said: "I plan to make stuffed tofu for this second hot dish." ”
"Huh?" Pei Fangcai's back stiffened, and he turned his head to look at her in surprise, "What did you just say?" Cold tofu? ”
Is that tofu mixed with shallots?
Pei Fangcai hurriedly waved his hand: "But don't make this dish!" Elder Fang would definitely be furious if he saw you make this dish for him. Moreover, your shallots mixed with tofu are not a hot dish, it is still a cold dish, which does not meet the requirements of the second game. ”
"Who said I was going to make tofu with shallots?" Qi Erfeng couldn't help laughing.
"Didn't you just say that you want to make cold tofu? Cold tofu, isn't that just shallots mixed with tofu? Pei Fang blinked his wrinkled little eyes.
"I'm talking about stuffed tofu." Qi Erfeng finally understood why Pei Fangcai had misunderstood.
"Brewing ...... What the? Pei Fangcai had never heard the name of this dish, and was a little stunned for a while.
"Haha! None of you have seen it, have you? You'll know what I'll make it in a while, and then I'll let you taste the first piece, how about it? "Qi Erfeng has a mysterious appearance of 'follow me to eat meat'.
Pei Fangcai's face was slightly red, I don't know if he was embarrassed, or because he was excited to hear Qi Erfeng say a dish he had never heard of, his old face was actually slightly red.
"Yes, yes. Stuffed tofu? I've really never heard of it, it's not a local dish, is it? Pei Fangcai asked curiously. If it was a dish from Feilong County, he must know it. He has lived here since he was a child, and when he first became sensible, he learned cooking with his father. If it was the realm of Feilong County, or even the food within a radius of dozens of kilometers, it was impossible for him not to have heard of it.
Qi Erfeng smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's not a local dish." ”
"Where's that?" Pei Fangcai asked curiously.
This Qi Erfeng is embarrassed, if he is told that he is a Cantonese cuisine, I don't know if he will expose his identity of crossing. So, Qi Erfeng deliberately thought about it and said, "I forgot the name of that place, it's quite far away anyway." ”
"Oooh." Pei Fangcai was slightly disappointed, but soon, his attention was focused on the stuffed tofu itself, "The method of tofu, except for mapo tofu, I know that except for mapo tofu, it is bear's paw tofu." Miss Qi, I really haven't heard of this stuffed tofu you said, but could it be the same thing, but the name is different? ”
The mapo tofu and bear's paw tofu that Pei Fangcai said Qi Erfeng naturally knew that they were completely different from the stuffed tofu she was going to make.
So, Qi Erfeng shook his head and said, "No, it's a completely different thing, you can see why it's not the same thing after a while." ”
When Pei Fangcai heard this, his eyes widened as big as copper bells: "You mean ......?"
He looked so funny like this, Qi Erfeng couldn't help but smile and asked, "What?" ”
"You mean, I can watch while you make this dish later?" Pei Fangcai couldn't believe his ears, if that was really the case, then wasn't he stealing a teacher?
Oh, no, no, since Qi Erfeng allowed it, then he is not considered a stealer. However, as a chef, Pei Fang knew that ordinary chefs would not easily show their housekeeping skills.
This stuffed tofu, although Pei Fangcai doesn't know if it's Qi Erfeng's housekeeping skills, but for Pei Fangcai after all, it's fresh, something he has never seen. If you show him so easily, it is equivalent to teaching him how to do it.
Is Qi Erfeng broad-minded or city-free?
"That's right! You don't watch me do it, how do you know if they're not the same? ”
"I ...... I can see if it's the same when I look at the finished product, Miss Qi, this is your own specialty, you still don't let me know that it's better to do it. Pei Fangcai said very gentlemanly.
Qi Erfeng nodded slightly in his heart, admiring Pei Fangcai's character very much. If the same thing fell on Li Daniu, he would definitely be eager to let Qi Erfeng demonstrate the method to him.
Of course, for someone like Li Daniu, Qi Erfeng can't be so generous.
"You really don't want to know how?" Qi Erfeng deliberately asked with a bad hold.
