Chapter 64: Sword and Fire in One Heart

"Fighting Heart" is called "competition" in the northern dialect, and it is a means of competition between chefs to compete for basic skills. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This kind of competition is a test of a certain professional skill in the "knife, fire, and skill" in the kitchen, and there will be no fried dishes, nor will there be misjudgment and subjective errors.

This kind of competition is fair and fair, simple and easy to understand, and it is the real battlefield of "kung fu" competition between chefs.

In order to compete for the imperial kitchen knife, Lei Ren wanted to "fight with me", and named him to fight "sword and fire".

Although I was surprised by Lei Ren's request, I also understood it very well.

Lei Ren saw that he couldn't win me in terms of reason and wealth, so he had no choice but to come up with this strange plan. He is not for anything else, but to use the rules and skills of the Five Organs Temple to suppress me. It is to use the skills of the abbot of Wuling Temple to defeat me.

For the kitchen knife, he is really desperate!

However, since he dared to propose to fight "sword and fire with one heart", naturally his attainments in this area are not weak, and since he is not weak, I should not accept the offer to call his mind.

It's a pity that he really miscalculated this time, not only miscalculated, but also hit my "muzzle".

Because I asked myself, this "sword and fire" is also my personal strength. And the chefs of Confucius Temple also have a unique advantage in this regard......

In the face of Lei Ren's "rowing", half of the people present didn't know what a "sword and fire heart" was, so they were also confused.

Among the crowd, only Zhao Shuihe was extremely excited, and when she heard that I was going to "fight" again, she said at that time: "There is a good show to watch!" ”

While speaking, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Xian Hongye, who was also a woman, and said, "Sister Hongye, let's sit down and drink tea, 'Sword Fire and One Heart' is beautiful." After a while, you will know whether it is my 'heavy master grandson' or my 'foreign master grandson' who is powerful. ”

After listening to Zhao Shuihe's words, I was completely speechless.

How much this girl loves to take advantage! Such a messy generation also said, repeatedly smooth?!

Of course, I don't have time to think about these things at the moment of the great enemy, and I need her and everyone here to be witnesses when I go back. It's not good to return anything at this time.

Therefore, I saluted Lei Ren in return: "You are bigger than me, how can this 'sword and fire heart' compare, you can draw a 'way'!" ”

The corners of Lei Ren's mouth twitched, his eyes flashed fiercely, but he said with a smile on his face: "It's easy to say, I'll tell you about the test method of sword fire first, so that no one doesn't understand." ”

I nodded.

Subsequently, Lei Ren told everyone: The so-called sword and fire are a method of the cook's "fighting heart", and the main test is the "fire" skill. At the same time, it takes into account the knife skills.

The reason why it is called "sword and fire in one heart" is naturally to use knives and fire again.

This test is very simple to say, that is, each of the participating cooks is given an identical kitchen knife, and a piece of lard of the same weight is placed in the middle of the kitchen knife. Then let the cook see the location and size of the lard.

After that, the "witnesses" will light a candle for each of the contested cooks and ask them to put a kitchen knife with lard on the candle to grill.

The lard is placed on the knife, and the knife is heated by the fire, and the lard gradually spreads, and whoever spreads the area is large, even if he wins.

After listening to Lei Ren's words, Zhao Hong interjected impatiently: "What's so comparable to this, keep the knife on the fire and roast!" In the end, there are all the knives that don't flow. ”

Zhao Shuihe interjected: "That's not possible, the area of lard can be as large as possible, but it can't exceed the area of the knife, and it flows out of the blade, even if you lose." ”

I nodded in agreement, and then added, "Moreover, when the real competition begins, the cook's eyes will be covered with a cloth, which means that he will not be able to see the oil surface and the size of the candle flame at all, and he can only judge the area and degree of melting of the lard by the smell and sound of the lard." ”

When Xian Hongye heard this, he suddenly realized: "This is really a difficult challenge. If the time is short, the area of lard melting is small, and after a long time, the lard may flow out of the knife surface again. ”

I smiled, noncommittal.

Isn't it difficult? If it's not difficult, Lei Ren will compare this with me? If it wasn't difficult, I would have deliberately practiced before?

And I fully understand in my heart that this set of "sword and fire with one heart" is actually the basic skill of the chef of the Five Organs Temple, it seems to be perverted, can not be seen, and cannot be moved, but in fact it is completely the basic requirement for a cook.

After all, when people stir-fry, they don't stare at the flames, and most people also judge the degree of rawness of the oil according to the taste and hearing!

It's just that our Confucius Temple is more unique.

The reason why Confucius Temple is more unique is because our control of fire is far more "clever" than that of the other three temples.

Among the "Four Great Temples", the fire skills of Lu Caifuzi Temple are recognized as "the first in the world", and even have the reputation of "food in China, fire in Shandong". From this, it is enough to see that the fire skills of our Confucius Temple are unique and are recognized as strengths.

The biggest difference between the fire power of Confucius Temple and the other three temples is that the method of "division" is different.

The ordinary "fire gong" is nothing more than a functional cooking fire such as simmering, martial fire, roasting fire, and smoking. Only the cooks of the Confucius Temple raised the fire to a philosophical level, believing that food is an extension of Confucian etiquette and that fire is the "soul" of food.

Therefore, according to the Confucian etiquette norms, Confucius Temple directly divides fire into three basics: "Jun Huo", "Chen Huo" and "Min Huo".

And this is also known as the "true fire of samadhi".

Among these three kinds of fire, the Jun Fire is called "Explosion", the Chenhuo is called "Wen", and the Minhuo is called "Simmering", the three kinds of fire complement each other, and divide into seventy-two kinds of "disciple fire", and then there are the ever-changing fire skills and delicious cooking of Lu cuisine.

Interpreting the flame with philosophy and cooking the soul with flame is the core of Lu cuisine! This is called "li"!

Therefore, the biggest feature of Lu cuisine in the production is the unique use of fire, accurate firepower, a standard Lu cuisine cook, unceremoniously said, can control the fire as accurately as a rocket to the sky. If you don't look at your watch, you will say that you will stir-fry for fifteen seconds, and if you say that you will simmer for an hour, he will never exceed half a second and a half minutes.

What Lu Cai wants is this precision and skill.

Therefore, in terms of fire skills, I think that I am also responsible.

If I lose to Lei Ren of his Wuling Temple in this most explosive "Sword and Fire One Heart", then I can buy a piece of tofu and hit the wall.

Therefore, I agreed to Lei Ren's request without hesitation. Not only to compare, but also to compare according to the most classic and primitive method! What I want is the end of this refusal to admit defeat!

Three downs, five divisions by two, Lei Ren and I "needle-to-needle", which can be regarded as a complete bar.

At that moment, the two of them wrote notes like a duel, pressed the handprint, Lei Ren smiled treacherously, and I couldn't bear it.

The haze of a big battle is already rolling in.
