Chapter 509: Fighting Kitchen
On the way to the "Grandma's Restaurant", Tang Ben had a black face the whole time, as if someone owed him tens of millions, but in fact, he was now in a worse mood than others owing him tens of millions, worse - dare to feel that his personality has been humiliated!
Dongfang Weixi actually found a "Ye Luzi" who had no chef rank and no formal teacher to participate in the "Cooking Conference" instead of him, this is not humiliating him, what is it? Did Dongfang Weixi get in his brain? She can do such a stupid and ridiculous thing!
Thinking about the "old woman's" love for Dongfang Weixi, I wonder if the "Grandma's Restaurant" will be passed on to her in the future, hey, in this way, it seems that a century-old restaurant like "Grandma's Restaurant" is already doomed to die and go out of business, and he doesn't want to sink with this "broken ship......
After a while, the four of them came to the door of a private room called "Qingluan Peak". Dongfang Weixi knocked on the door and pushed the door in. There are only two people in the quaint and quiet private room, a man and a woman, both of whom are very old, one is an old woman who looks kind and kind, and the other is a thin and withered old man.
There is no need to introduce, Mu Tang knows who these two are, the old woman is naturally the boss of the "Grandma Restaurant", and the withered old man is the former chef here, the "special chef" Master Xiong!
Dongfang Weixi introduced the two sides. Her grandmother was kind and kind, and she talked to Mu Tang and Tong Xiangyu with a smile, without a little arrogance, which was easy to make people feel close. Tong Xiangyu saw that the old woman was still talking, so she let go and kept talking.
Master Xiong was much quieter, that is, when his disciple Tang Ben saluted him, he said "um", and he only bowed slightly to Mu Tang.
Everyone was chatting with great interest, Tang Ben suddenly saw a gap and stepped in, and said respectfully: "Master, the disciple is ready." Naturally, he was ready to fight with Mu Tang.
Give him a beating, and get down to business, of course it is difficult to continue the gossip, Grandma Liu, that is, Dongfang Weixi's grandmother, smiled and said: "Look at me, look at me, this person is older, his mouth can't be idle, this trivial thing can be talked about for a long time, and he almost forgot about the business." Brother Mu, because of my wayward granddaughter, let you go on this trip, and the old woman really can't help it. In this way, you and Xiao Tang will make two small dishes casually, and we will treat it as a homely meal. ”
Mu Tang smiled: "Hehe, then I will be ugly." ”
Tong Xiangyu naturally supported Mu Tang and said, "Grandma Liu, brother...... Let me tell you, charcoal cooking is amazing, especially the barbecue he made, which caused me to bite my tongue several times. ”
"Oh? Really? Then I'm going to have a good mouth. ”
"Snort, barbecue ......" Tang Ben sneered in a very low voice, but all the people present were deaf and clear-sighted "soul qi men", and they all heard his low sneer clearly.
Master Xiong said, "Go ahead." Just according to what your grandmother Liu said, just cook a few home-cooked side dishes. ”
This can be regarded as setting the topic for this exam, don't do any bells and whistles, delicate and complicated, just make a few home-cooked stir-fries. And this is also due to the particularity of this "World's First Chef Conference".
The special rules of this "World's No. 1 Chef Conference" are destined to go to quantity, but not quality. Since it is a volume, it is natural that you can't make some high-end dishes, otherwise the consumption of ingredients will not be able to keep up - how can there be so many high-end ingredients to make dishes? So I can only cook ordinary dishes. Quantity does not mean that there is no quality, which requires the chef to be able to make the most basic dishes more brilliant quality, which is the guarantee of victory!
After all, this competition is about the survival of "Grandma's Restaurant", how can the two old people casually come up with an exam question, when they say "just cook two family dishes", it is really to let Mu Tang and Tang Ben fry a few "side dishes"? !
Immediately, Mu Tang and Tang Ben were led by the waiter to the kitchen of the "Grandma Restaurant".
The kitchen of "Grandma's Restaurant" is naturally extraordinary, with all kinds of kitchenware, stoves, fuel, etc., and the furniture is superb. The whole kitchen is bright and transparent, bright and spacious, what you know is the kitchen, and what you don't know thinks is the palace.
At this time, the kitchen was empty, and it was obviously already empty for the purpose of the competition between Mu Tang and the two.
Mu Tang said secretly: "No wonder it's so deserted here today, it turned out that it was cleared and closed." ”
"Humph!" Just when Mu Tang glanced at the kitchen and sighed in his heart, Tang Ben let out a faint "hum", and strode towards the door with the "Warehouse" sign.
Mu Tang didn't care, and also walked towards the "warehouse".
It is worthy of the warehouse used by the "Grandma Restaurant" to store ingredients, the space is huge, needless to say, what really surprised Mu Tang was the complete variety of ingredients here, the ultimate quality, and even made him a little coveted - he walked around at the fastest speed, and even found a few "dream-level" ingredients like "Overlord Crystal Pufferfish", as well as sixth-level Warcraft ingredients!
This "warehouse" does not know what technology or magic weapon is used to keep every ingredient fresh and perfect.
Tang Ben, who was selecting ingredients, saw Mu Tang circling around some super-high-grade ingredients, and "reminded" him that those ingredients of extraordinary quality were forbidden to be touched, and his words were full of "special care" for the mentally handicapped - it was forbidden to even touch them, let alone use them as ingredients to make dishes.
Mu Tang didn't take Tang Ben's "special care" to heart, and after a cursory walk, he began to choose the ingredients he needed, which were tomatoes, eggs, green vegetables, green peppers, red peppers, lean meat, pork ribs, and so on.
When the two of them had selected the ingredients and left the warehouse together, Tang Ben couldn't laugh when he saw the ingredients selected in the Mu Tang vegetable basket, but asked with a calm face: "Master Mu, are you here to 'fight the kitchen' or to be funny?" ”
Although the quality of the ingredients selected by Mu Tang is extraordinary, it can be said that they are just ordinary ingredients. On the other hand, Tang Ben is specially used to make "nourishing dishes", not to mention the ingredients, even the quality level is also the best, and it is considered to be above average when placed in the entire warehouse.
In terms of the choice of ingredients alone, Mu Tang is not half a little worse than Tang Ben. And Mu Tang chose a bunch of garbage ingredients, which also made Tang Ben feel humiliated, so he asked out loud.
Mu Tang smiled: "Didn't Grandma Liu and Master Xiong say that they would make one or two family dishes at random? There are so many of us, one or two are definitely not enough. So I'm going to make a scrambled egg with tomatoes, a stir-fried meat with chili, a mushroom greens, and a braised pork ribs. ”
"......" looked at Mu Tang's "smug" expression, Tang Ben suddenly felt that there was no need for him to say another word to the other party, because he and he were completely people from two worlds, and the concepts were completely different, and he seemed to take the cub in front of him too seriously.
As for how good Dongfang Weixi praised his cooking skills, he scoffed at it at the beginning, and didn't believe it at all, and now he is even more disgusted, and he is really embarrassed by people who only have such a little vision and IQ...... I hope he won't leave any psychological shadows later.
Tang Ben muttered a few words in his heart, and then pushed a cart of high-quality ingredients in front of his exclusive "kitchen table". Although in his heart, he has completely stopped treating Mu Tang as a competitor, but after all, the diners this time are Grandma Liu and Master, so he naturally wants to go all out, so that they can believe that he is the one who can really bear the burden of "Grandma's Restaurant"!
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, he stretched out his hands, grasped the void with his five fingers, and immediately a knife appeared, and a piece of pickled black and shiny ham fell into his left and right hands.
The knife is the best knife, the work of the master swordsmith. Ham is the most famous "essence ham" in Kyushu! The first dish Tang Ben wants to make is his best dish, "Blue Sky and Red Sun...... is worthy of being a true disciple of the "special chef", no matter what he thinks in his heart, as soon as he moves the kitchen knife, he immediately enters the realm of selflessness, and only the ingredients on the cutting board are in his eyes.
Mu Tang, on the other hand, whistled, boiled a pot of water, then beat the eggs, and stirred them slowly......
During the entire hour-long cooking time, the two of them were focused on cooking, without any conversation. However, the two of them seemed to have discussed, and they "finished the battle" together and completed four dishes. Two people add up to eight dishes. Then, the two brought these eight dishes to the table of "Qingluan Peak".
Grandma Liu, Master Xiong, as well as Tong Xiangyu and Dongfang Weixi have been waiting for a long time.
When the lid of the eight dishes was lifted and presented in front of everyone, the two huge contrasts of exquisite and ordinary suddenly hit the sight and heart of everyone - Tang Ben's four dishes are as exquisite as they are, they are as if they are works of art, the aroma is tangy, it is fascinating, and the taste must be excellent; And Mu Tang's, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried meat with chili, mushrooms and greens, braised pork ribs...... There's really no need to even write in ink.
When Grandma Liu and Master Xiong saw this scene, they both frowned, and then glanced at each other, and then they quietly beckoned Mu Tang and the others to sit down, as if they were really the juniors going to the elders' house to eat, enjoying the warm welcome and hospitality of the elders, and staying for a homely meal.
"Come on, come on, move chopsticks, move chopsticks, you're welcome, casual, just like in your own home......" Grandma Liu smiled and returned the dishes to Tong Xiangyu.
