Familiar and unfamiliar
Hope to say.
Hair flicked and strode away, no mercy, a little sadness in the bottom of my heart
Wave my hand and wish you all a good day, I will live a wonderful life alone

Ye Qing originally didn't plan to make beef stew, because it would take at least an hour and a half to stew a pot of beef.
Fortunately, the meat of the beef she selected is relatively tender, and it should be able to stew until it is fragrant and glutinous within an hour.
While lighting the fire, Ye Qing carefully considered in his heart, if he earned silver this time, would he have to collect all kinds of animals and plants, and put them in the space first.
Space should also be utilized, and it should not be too frivolous.
After seeing that the cauldron of beef stew had been boiling for a quarter of an hour, Ye Qing first changed the fire to a smaller one, and then she went to find a small stove with firewood, and put a small pot on the shelf to prepare to practice oil and spicy seeds.
She puts large slices of chili noodles and fine chili noodles in a large bowl, and then mixes the chili noodles, Sichuan peppercorns, cooked sesame seeds, and homemade sugar.
Add a piece of fat beef to a small pot and start boiling butter, and when the butter comes out, add clear oil and cook until it is 5 hot.
Then add shallots, onion slices, garlic cloves, ginger, coriander, celery root, etc. to enhance the fragrance.
She takes them out when they're lightly browned and fully dried.
Hold the pot up and place it on a thick cutting board and let it cool slightly, otherwise the oil will be too hot and it will paste into the chili noodles.
Ye Qing took advantage of this time to take out all the steamed potatoes and put them in a large basin to dry, so that they could be peeled for a while.
The sesame oil in the small pot was just ready to use, and she scooped a spoonful of oil and poured it over the chili noodles.
After pouring it, she took a spoon and stirred it again until the chili flakes turned into chili oil.
Ye Qing fanned it with his hand and smelled it, it was really fragrant, even if it was boiled noodles without side dishes, it was delicious when mixed with this.
Ye Qing opened the dough under the big bowl and looked at it, then took out the piece of dough and began to pound, roll and break it on the panel.
Although this is a physical work, it is also exquisite, and it is not possible to roll the dough round and flatten at will, but to knead it into long strips in one direction, fold it in half, and then continue to knead.
She kneaded the dough, brushed it with a layer of oil, and placed it in a large bowl to continue to rise.
Then after washing his hands, Ye Qing began to make various dipping sauces for shabu-shabu.
First of all, she made a more troublesome sand tea sauce.
Ye Qing put the dried fish and dried shrimp into the oil that was boiled to 50% and soak them over medium and low heat until fragrant, fry them and take them out.
Then add dried red pepper powder, garlic, shallots, chopped onion and other low heat and fry until dry and fragrant, leaving oil to remove the residue.
After washing the pot, add the fried oil, boil until it is 50% hot, add peanut butter, dried fish and shrimp sauce, rock sugar, five-spice powder made by herself, Sichuan pepper powder, and a little salt and boil over low heat until the sauce is slightly blistering.
The sand tea sauce is ready, and then Ye Qing made the most popular dipping sauce for eating shabu beef, stirring the sesame paste, minced green onions, chili powder, sesame oil, soy sauce, and sugar evenly.
Finally, I made a spicy dipping sauce and a regular dipping sauce with only minced coriander, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
Ye Qing was busy preparing all kinds of dipping sauces, but she didn't know that several pairs of eyes had been staring at her.
Especially on the side of the stove No. 253, Sima Youda's eyes were almost nailed to her, his eldest brother could only make a simple beef stew, and he couldn't help.
By now, their brothers had given up a little bit of the idea of being able to enter the top three, so Sima Youda simply stared at Ye Qing cooking.
It's just that Ye Qing is making noodles, steaming potatoes, and making all kinds of dipping sauces.
The process looks simple, but it is more than two feet away, and I don't know what seasoning she used, so it is impossible for Sima Youda to learn some secretly.
At this moment, Tianxue is full of friends, and most of the guests want to come to watch this cooking competition.
But they didn't expect Tianxueju to let them go to the courtyard to watch, they only stayed in the lobby of the restaurant to listen to the news.
Some guests who can stay in the private room on the second floor can watch from the balcony fence, but not very realistically.
Fortunately, Tianxueju not only provided delicious meals and snacks today, but also invited the first prostitute of the drunken Red Mansion in this town~ Tang Xuechen came here to play a performance for them.
Everyone looked at Na Tang Xuechen sitting in a corner of the hall on the second floor, looking as moving as a hibiscus out of the water, smiling like a begonia blooming, and his fingertips falling lightly on the strings like spring shoots.
The piano sound is melodious and melodious, and her little red mouth sings a coquettish little tune.
The guests in the hall on the second floor were all eating delicious food and listening to the music, and their eyes couldn't help but look at the light veil on Tang Xuechen's body, which was as thin as cicada wings and seemed to be unable to cover anything.
The people who listened to the music and dined stared at her with wide eyes, and they had already forgotten all the unhappiness.
However, sitting near the terrace playing and singing, Tang Xuechen's attention was in a private room that she could see.
She plucked the strings in her hand, but her eyes fell on the handsome face of the man with the folding fan in the private room.
She took a break when the song was finished, but her eyes did not take her eyes off his face.
"It's a pity that I can only play and sing to these wine bags and rice bags in the hall, but I can't go to the private room to play and sing to the son......"
"What did you say, girl?" Xiao Tao, the maid beside Tang Xuechen who burned incense for her, heard her muttering and asked.
"Nothing." She shook her head lightly, smiled bitterly in her heart, and said, "Go and pour me a cup of flower tea!" ”
A quarter of an hour later, Tang Xuechen's performance ended, but he didn't expect to be invited into the private room to sit down and eat together.
Tang Xuechen's beautiful eyes blinked lightly, and she was overjoyed.
Lianbu moved lightly into the banquet, and she suddenly looked back, her beautiful eyes unexpectedly meeting the gaze of the man with the folding fan.
Not wanting to miss this opportunity, Tang Xuechen put aside his reserve, stepped forward boldly, looked at the seat next to him and said, "Childe, can the slave family sit here?" ”
"You may be seated." Xiao Yuyan readily agreed.
He has always been polite to beauties, and as for the prince of Jin, he is already satisfied with what he has to eat at this time.
What's more, he has long been accustomed to it, every time he and Xiao Yuyan come out, the beauty always looks at Xiao Yuyan more.
"Thank you, Childe." Tang Xuechen smiled and nodded, and as soon as she sat down, her expression froze......
For she saw the amber pendant hanging from the handle of the fan.
She looked at him closely, still trying to find the memories from his face.
That's right, it's him, after five years, he has transformed from a young boy to a man in his prime......
Now after the baptism of the years, he looks even more noble and good-looking!
However, he is really handsome, with fair and handsome facial features, a slender figure, and fingers like jade bamboo, every place is so charming and noble!
Finding that her gaze was getting bolder and bolder, Xiao Yuyan's expression did not show impatience, but just glanced at her meaningfully.
As soon as he saw this girl by accident, he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he called someone to invite her.
Xiao Yuyan saw that she had been staring at herself, and his peach blossom eyes were extremely deep, and the darkness suddenly appeared.
"Girl, why do you want to be so engrossed?"
Tang Xuechen, who came back to his senses, blushed his cheeks and muttered, "It's nothing." ”
The prince of Jin also raised his eyebrows and looked at her a few more times, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose slightly, revealing an ambiguous chuckle.
"Girl, your piano skills are good, but we didn't hear you too clearly when you were playing and singing outside just now, how about playing and singing for us here in a while." Xiao Yuyan said bluntly.
"The slave family will sing a song for the male bullet immediately!" Tang Xuechen immediately got up from his position and bowed.
At this time, Xiao Yuyan saw the guy come in with a steaming casserole, and said to her thoughtfully.
"Let's eat something first, you only drank some tea outside, and the girl should be hungry at this time."
"Xue Chen, Mr. Xie is considerate."
"Sit down, no formality."
……
on the field.
Since the competition was a bit long, a few elderly judges turned around in front of the stoves of several contestants, and then turned around and went back to the restaurant to rest.
Boss Fang pondered for a while and decided to let all the judges go to the private room of the restaurant, listen to the music and rest and wait for the contestants to prepare the dishes.
Qian Junbao also drank a lot of tea, although the sun did not come out today, but the temperature was not low, and it was indeed a little uncomfortable for him to sit in this yard and not move around.
So he looked at the cooks, and wanted to go down and see how they cooked.
"Duoduo, why don't I go and watch them cook first, and then go to the private room to rest later."
It's just that as soon as he said this, he was stopped by Qian Duoduo.
"Young master, what's so nice about cooking, be careful of hurting you, let's go to the private room with Boss Fang and them to rest."
Qian Junbao didn't know why, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, his dark eyes looked straight at Qian Duoduo, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't bother to ask.
"Then let's go upstairs and rest for a while."
Qian Duoduo was stared at by the young master at first, and his hands and feet were cold, and when he saw the young master give up to watch the cooks cook, a hanging heart fell to the ground.
He just felt that the fat girl must have some ulterior motive to stop the young master from seeing her.
The mass judges outside the venue saw that the judges on the high platform were gone, and they began to find a place to rest.
Ye Qing had almost done all the preparations, and she estimated that it would take another 2 quarters of an hour to make all the dishes.
She looked up at the little platform, where the hourglass represented an hour.
It was estimated that there was still half an hour before the end of the game, and time was not pressing, but she felt that she was hungry.
It's time for the competition, and she hasn't had lunch yet.
In fact, Tianxueju is not so inhumane, there is a break in the middle, and many cooks have brought their own food to eat.
Ye Qing wasn't hungry at that time, so he didn't think about eating something.
At this time, I was idle and saw that the judges actually walked into the restaurant to rest.
She also remembered that she hadn't eaten lunch.
Ye Qing looked at the corn he brought in the basket, the corn grown in the space, the corn kernels were very large, even if they were eaten raw, they were thin and juicy, and the corn flavor was rich and sweet.
She thought about it for a while, and while no one was staring at it now, she quietly used the big basket as a cover and took out a few more corn cobs from the space.
Pulling off the cob, she was about to put it in the steamer to steam when she suddenly changed her mind.
She felt that she had to make a bowl of noodles so that she could eat first.
As for corn, it's good to make a corn roast as a snack, but it's a mistake to make so many dim sums for yourself before.
Corn roasting is a simple thing to make, and the sweet corn is used to remove the kernels with a knife against the cob.
The corn kernels removed in this way will stick together and need to be separated into grains by hand.
Then put it in a sieve, wash the corn kernels with water, and then mix the corn kernels and starch well, so that the surface of the corn kernels are glued with starch.
After putting half a bowl of oil in a pot and heating it, pour it out, leave a little oil in the pan, pour in the corn kernels, and gently spread the corn kernels.
Then fry the corn kernels over low heat so that the corn kernels stick together into a whole cake, add the oil that has just been poured out after heating, the amount of oil should not exceed the corn kernels, and fry the corn kernels until they are golden brown and crispy.
Ye Qing likes to eat sweet, sprinkle some sugar after it comes out of the pot, and a little bit of condensed milk.
A corn roast full of milky and corn aroma is ready.
It was still very hot and had a lot of oil, so she took a clean piece of coarse kraft paper as oil blotting paper, and waited for the oil to drain a little, and then ate it later.
Ye Qing also made a big bowl of beef soup, and she would make beef noodles for a while.
After frying the potatoes again, pour them directly into the beef in the large pot.
Then add soy sauce, pepper, star anise, and sugar to the beef stew with potatoes and simmer over low heat.
Beef is hard to get "soft", so she puts a little vinegar in a large pot to put it in.
Ye Qing pinched a small ball of noodles from the awakened dough and prepared to make himself a bowl of dragon whisker egg noodles to eat.
Dragon's Whisker Noodles are a kind of noodle that tests a chef's skills so much that this noodle is more of a work of art than a bowl of noodles.
Because the biggest feature of this kind of noodles is that they are as thin as a hair!
The noodles made by the top ramen chefs can be pierced through pinholes, and some great people make dragon suke noodles with seven or eight noodles side by side through pinholes.
Therefore, there are also requirements for the kneaded dough, and this kind of noodles is also a little difficult to cook, the noodles are too thin, and when they are boiled in water, it is necessary to test a chef's ability to control the heat.
If the dough and heat are not well controlled, it will rot into a pot and become a batter if you are not careful.
Ye Qing is a chef himself, so many times, he is a little picky about what he eats, especially when he eats the food he makes, he will be more strict.
Just when she was about to start ramen, Sima Youda, who had been staring at her, actually took advantage of the fact that there was no judge's supervision and ran over.
He showed an innocent smile and said to Ye Qing with a smile: "Miss Ye, why don't you cook and make noodles here." ”
Ye Qing glanced at him and recognized him as the assistant chef of No. 253, so she said to him casually: "I haven't eaten lunch, I'm hungry, I'm going to make a bowl of noodles to eat." ”
Sima Youda's eyes widened, and he asked suspiciously, "Is it okay like this?" ”
"Why not? Don't we have to eat? Chefs are also human beings, and if they are not full of food, how can they have the heart to cook delicious food for others. ”
"Can I see how you make noodles? Anyway, if you do it, it's different from the content of the game. He asked cautiously.
"Just watch it if you want." Ye Qing didn't care.
