Chapter Seventy-Four: The Four Kitchen Gods
Judging from the scene, our five players have their own strengths, although my knife skills are around, but everyone else also has unique skills, the scene does not lose to me, and there is even a feeling of intensification-
On the left side of the front row is a slightly chubby little man, this guy first fixed a balloon on the vegetable pier, called out a pot of minced meat into a cream gun, and began to draw on the surface of the balloon, and after a while, he drew a pattern of a boy offering a peach - this is the same as the dessert of Yan Wang Sun Honglei in "Mr. Good", first let these things attach to the surface of the balloon, and then release the gas in the balloon after a little solidification, the dish will stand on the plate, and then fry or pour the juice into a plate to hold out, the main technology is in the hands, not only requires stability, And you have to be very careful and careful, otherwise it's easy to fall short.

On the right side of the front row is a well-proportioned young man, his dish looks like fried rice, he did not use steamed rice as the main ingredient, but chose the popular retort rice in Sichuan and Chongqing, first boiled the rice in 80 degrees of water until it was half-cooked, and then wrapped it in a lotus leaf into the steamer, and steamed through the firewood, so that the rice grains are distinct, chewy, and there is a faint fragrance of lotus leaves - this is not the point, the focus is on shaking the pot and throwing the pot, after the egg enters the pot, it should be quickly shaken apart, shaken and broken, so that the scrambled eggs become small pieces of uniform size, After adding rice, you can reach a slice of egg drop with five grains of rice, and then it is done.
In the back row, the guy on my left looks a little older, and he, like me, is also performing knife skills - this guy quickly slices a piece of tender tofu into pieces, then shreds it, puts it in the water and passes it through the water with a strainer, and actually makes a plate of hair-thin tofu shreds, saying that it can thread the needle nose is not too much, and then he cooks this plate of shredded tofu into a dish - I remember that there is this dish in the foodie on the tip of the tongue, and the knife technique of the person next to me is more professional and uniform than him, and the size and length are almost the same, which highlights the level.
I understood the first one, and the last one didn't know what he was doing, this grandson got a lot of all kinds of meat, and then chose a pot of bean sprouts, first chopped the filling, and then blocked it and didn't show it to me, so I was also confused - not to mention the onlookers who ate melons, staring at each other, except for being confused or dazed, there was nothing to say.
After some pouring, their respective dishes finally came out of the pot, at this time the round table in front of the stage has been withdrawn into a judges' seat, and a pile of people sat in turn, I took a closer look and found that they were all judges of the previous food God Competition: the president of the Provincial Gourmets Association, the host of the TV station's food program, and the editor-in-chief of the local food network, Mr. Ren sat in the fourth place, and then there was an empty seat on the side, I don't know who it was left for.
After Fat Pig Huang and the others sat down, they immediately introduced to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the judges of our competition today, in addition to the judges of the previous food competitions that everyone is familiar with, President Yang Kaitai, Liu Jun presiding, Feng Shaojun editor-in-chief, and our old man, also invited a heavyweight - now we have invited Stephen Porridge, one of the four great chef gods in China, who is famous at home and abroad for his various soups and porridge products, and is known as the southern kitchen god!" ”
Shocked!
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that Old Lady Ren actually invited this one!
People in the circle know that although all provinces and cities in China have kitchen gods, what is really recognized by everyone is actually the four major kitchen gods, namely Lu Yu, the northern kitchen god, Stephen Porridge, the western kitchen god Avatar, the Avanti brothers, and the Eastern kitchen god Dongfeng Po - they not only have their own unique skills, but also have rare and comprehensive skills, regardless of knife skills, skills, fire temperature control, speed, etc., etc., all surpass ordinary chefs, so they will be respected as the four chefs.
Of course, the reason why these four have this reputation, in addition to the cooking technology, in the chef industry is also extraordinary, belonging to Mount Tai Beidou, for example, the northern kitchen god Lu Yu, he operates a chain of golden and jade restaurants all over the major cities, especially the capital's head office, but also the place where the Chinese banquet foreign heavyweight guests are, nearly half of the year is not open, all entertain heads of government, ordinary people have a meal there is no less meaningful than going to the sea and sky feast, just blowing is enough to be a half.
Steve porridge is the same as him, except that he mainly opens stores in the south, small chains, Steve porridge chains are all over the south, although they are not big, but the business is scary, the main health porridge is to attract countless rich people, the effect is excellent, in short, two sentences:
A man's gas station, a women's beauty salon!
Men eat the nourishing series, seven times a night is not a dream, women eat the beauty series, freckles and aging do not have to worry!
Unlike the two of them, Dongfeng Po did not open a restaurant hotel, he inherited his father's cooking school, and changed it to the New Oriental Culinary Technology School in his own hands, training countless chefs, apprentices all over the world, I remember what the advertising slogan said? ——
'Learn to cook, New Oriental, it's a good place there; 800 stoves are stainless steel, and 200 masters are technically strong; New Oriental is large-scale, with 200,000 students all over the world; There are many benefits of learning to cook well, but there are many benefits that cannot be said, a stable job with a high income, and lifelong employment is guaranteed and guaranteed! ’
Tut, listen, how imposing, there are only 800 stoves, or stainless steel!
There are two Western kitchen gods, Avatar and Avanti brothers, their stories are a little more legendary - when they were children, these two brothers had a serious illness, and they were in a coma for decades, and then they suddenly woke up one day and learned all kinds of cooking techniques, according to Avatar, when they were unconscious, they went out of their bodies to an alien planet, followed a master Yoda to learn cooking techniques, and finally got the title of the most awesome kitchen god in the universe - Jedi Knight, the purpose of their cooking is to fight against the darkness, Awaken the last light in the hearts of mankind with a variety of delicacies and protect the world from falling into darkness!
Most of them were followers, preaching the light, living like ascetics, walking in the West, bringing food and clothing to all the hungry - similar in nature to the Red Cross, people outside called them the Western Kitchen God, but in the cities of the West, they were more affectionately called 'precious treasures that bring warmth to the world', abbreviation: "Warm Baby!"
……
I've seen photos of Stephen's porridge many times, although he is slightly short, slightly chubby, and slightly oily, but there is no lack of grace and luxury, but when I see the real person, I can understand that the Meitu App is not only circulated in the women's circle, but there is also no shortage of enthusiasts among men - at least this oil-soaked version of Zeng Zhiwei has nothing to do with Lin Zicong.
Stephen walked out of the curtain with an oily face, waving all the way, many middle-aged and elderly fans gave him a tooth-sore scream, and he slowly approached in the excitement, holding his stomach and shaking hands with the judges of the city, and they were basically half-squatting or groveling, fully realizing the gap with the old lady Ren - the old lady waited for them, and then slowly stood up and gave the fat man a bear hug: "This time, you can be regarded as fighting for my face, oh, marrying a granddaughter can bother you, and my old man is also the only one, right?" ”
Stephen's round face sank into two dimples, and he said: "Old brother, you are polite, what are you going to do with outsiders, what do we have to do with it?" It's incidental that I'm here to be a judge, but the main thing is to drink your two glasses of birthday wine and describe our friendship. ”
The old man laughed like no one next to him, pulled the fat man to sit down on the chair, whispered the old things in the southeast and northwest, and waved his hand inadvertently.
Receiving the instructions of the old man, Fat Pig Huang hurriedly came to the stage, and asked people to send the first dish to the table of five people, and the rest was divided into small portions and sent to each table to taste, and someone on the side sent boiled water of different temperatures to the judges, as well as a jar for gargling, and the chopsticks in front of each person are five pairs, new and brand-new, so as not to let any peculiar smell interfere with the judges' scores.
The little man followed closely, standing in front of the five with a rather nervous expression, without saying a word.
After this dish is formed, it basically looks like a bird's nest, and the inextricably drawn pork minced meat forms a circular net-like pattern, on which is a white boy offering a peach, which looks both novel and beautiful, and the audience immediately began to applaud loudly.
The five were modest, and finally the president of the food association took the lead in moving the chopsticks, and as soon as the chopsticks touched the dish, they only heard the click and crisp sound, and the spherical net was immediately broken into several pieces, and the boy offered peaches and then turned into slag.
President Yang picked up the piece and stuffed it in his mouth, chewed it twice, looked at the two people on the side with a complicated expression, and said, "Uh, it tastes good, and the heat is well controlled, so I should have worked hard......
The two famous people in the city nodded: "Yes." ”
He set his eyes on the old lady and Stephen Zhou: "If you have any shortcomings, can you please comment?" "It doesn't matter if the old man is here, after all, he lives close to each other and sees a lot, and he is embarrassed to be ruthless when he gets up with a familiar face, but it's hard to say that the human kitchen god is here - if you lose your eyes and lose your face, how can you mix up this circle?
Stephen Zhou was not polite, and said directly: "Comments? It's simple, zero points. ”
The buzz suddenly became loud, and many guests whispered to each other, obviously having tasted the taste, this dish was already excellent in their opinion, and they didn't understand it at all if they got a zero score, and the little man was even more dazed, and there was a sense of ignorance that a strange beauty had picked off his clothes just after going out...... Looking at everyone's expressions, Stephen Zhou frowned and simply stood up:
"The main thing about this dish is to be one inside and one outside, the combination of inside and outside, the back of the minced meat must be crispy, the outside pattern must be tough, no chopsticks, only need to slap on the table, the wire mesh inside will be crumbled into crumbs, the outer picture is intact, and a neat picture of a boy offering a peach is formed at the bottom of the plate - what kind of thing is this? You can't do it inside and outside, how much do you give if you don't give zero points? ”
Everyone suddenly said: "I see! ”
The little man didn't dare to say anything, but he kept looking at the chairman of the food association with the corner of his eye, the guy coughed and coughed for a long time, and finally didn't dare to take a stubble, and the little man could only reluctantly leave the field and became the first player to be eliminated in this competition.
The second dish was the young man's egg fried rice, and he made his position clear as soon as he came up: "Judges, I know that the egg fried rice will be left overnight, so I made the rice yesterday, and today's freshly steamed rice is just a process." ”
"Visionary, not bad, young people have a bright future!" The host hurriedly poked the chopsticks and stuffed the rice in his mouth: "Mmmm, it's really good......"
Stephen said lightly: "If I were you, you wouldn't eat it." ”
"Why?"
Steve Porridge looked up at the sky and ignored it, he was full of food and vomited and did not swallow or swallow, the pain was as constipated, and the old man Ren had to relieve him in line with the principle that the visitor was a guest: "In this weather, the meal will definitely be bad overnight." ”
We: "......" (To be continued.) )
