Brother Zhang pulled it, didn't hold it, and then was offered to the stage by the pony in full view of everyone.

His dress is not very distinct, he still has a smile on his face, he doesn't look like a professional chef, and although the restaurant is not very optimistic about him at a glance, he is also courteous for the sake of passers-by.

"What is your surname, sir?"

"Zhang."

The host at the scene gave full play to the enthusiasm of Hong Kong TV shopping, and said to his head in a very exaggerated tone: "Now the same young Zhang Sheng wants to challenge Peter, can he succeed?" Let's wait and see! ”

After saying that, the beautiful hostess brought a fish and asked that the bones be removed within three minutes without destroying the structure of the fish.

This is an entry-level exam, and although this is a sea fish with few small spines, it can't be done without some skill.

Brother Zhang saw the fish in front of him and looked up at the pony under the stands, the pony was already there and started to be a crazy cheerleader: "Boss, come on!" Love you, love you, love you! ”

In the face of such enthusiasm, Brother Zhang turned around and smiled at the young chef Peter who was sitting there, and then took out a pair of chopsticks from the side.

When he took out his chopsticks, Peter, who was still a little careless, suddenly sat up straight, because he had also seen the person who used chopsticks to debone fish, and that person was his master, the super chef who won the first prize in the international culinary competition.

Brother Zhang looked at the fish that was still alive on the board in front of him, he hooked out the fish's mouth, picked up the chopsticks and snapped three times.

The first blow broke the keel and made the fish lose its vitality instantly, the second broke the tailbone, and the third hit the head of the fish, causing the gills to open slightly.

After three times, he stuffed the chopsticks from the fish's mouth, clicked and rotated, and then all the things in the fish's stomach came out, he flushed the fish and washed it, and then stretched the chopsticks into it from the gill part of the fish, and worked for about a minute, and finally he squeezed it with both hands at the same time, and the chopsticks went deep into the fish's mouth, and slowly pulled out a complete fish spine, and finally there were two rows of big spines on the fish.

For a total of two minutes and forty-seven seconds, a whole yellow croaker was placed on his plate, and next to it was a fish shape reassembled from the bones of the fish.

The moment he opened his hand, the applause suddenly resounded throughout the audience, and the cheer of the atmosphere group player Xiao Ma was so hoarse that he almost shouted out his lungs.

And Brother Zhang's hand is really beautiful, even Peter, whose name is very foreign, stood up and put on an apron.

The host was still shouting with passion, and the onlookers were also excited, guessing which building Brother Zhang came to smash the field.

Not to mention them, even the people in the restaurant think that this young man is here to smash the field, but since everyone opens the door to do business, people smash the field, so they have to continue.

So this is the official start of the game.

Since it is a chef competition, of course, it is a comparison of cooking skills, so the dishes are announced on the spot, and the first dish is without suspense, dry fried beef river.

As soon as the name of this dish came out, there was a sense of intimacy, after all, this is a magical dish called the three heroes of the stall with soy sauce and rice rolls, and it is the simplest and most common, but it is this simple and common that can immediately reflect the chef's efforts.

The materials used by both parties are similar, but Brother Zhang is a little more traditional than others, while Peter's side is a little more innovative. But once this thing is fried, it will be smoky, and the techniques and rhythm proficiency of both sides are almost the same, and even the tempering is almost synchronous.

Although it's just a stir-fry, no matter what, once the word competition is added, it looks particularly exciting, and the pots and pans don't allow the engine to roar at this moment.

Brother Xiao Zhang and the other chef can be said to be very good, and even the meals are served almost at the same time.

Two servings of dry fried beef river are placed on top, Xiao Zhang's brother is full of ruddy, oily and burnt with crystal clear, and Peter's is also powdered and dried with soy sauce and uniform oil, which looks full of appetite.

There seems to be only one step in their production process, that is, Brother Zhang's beef is oiled, while Peter's beef is directly grilled and put into the pot.

Judging from the appearance, the two sides are almost evenly matched, and Peter also took a deep look at this stranger who suddenly appeared, he didn't seem to remember when such a chef of the same grade as himself came out of Hong Kong.

At this moment, the host appeared again, he excitedly and exaggeratedly introduced the two servings of pho in front of him, and then sent the waiter next to him to divide the pho into small portions and distribute them to the audience present.

The pony also grabbed two copies, although there was only one chopstick on one side, but this chopstick can be said to be quite satisfying.

The one he ate first was Peter's one, which was full of flavor, elasticity, moderate saltiness, tender beef and a roast aroma, and the bean sprouts in it were also crisp and juicy, and it could be said that the aftertaste was endless after a bite.

It's not an exaggeration at all, just this craft, even if he doesn't do it one day in the future, he can have a good time when he goes back to his hometown and sets up a stall on the side of the road to sell only this one thing, although he is the opponent of Brother Zhang, but it is really delicious.

And then he also took a bite of Brother Zhang's, this first bite was not as amazing as Peter's, just like what he usually eats in Chang'an Lane, but after chewing a few times, he felt the difference.

Old neighborhood flavor.

Yes, it's the old smell, the taste I ate when I was a child, the smell that wafted out of the pho shop when I came home from school and made my mouth water, and the taste that I had to fight with my grandfather for a long time to eat.

They are used to calling this taste the taste of the old neighborhood, the soy sauce is on the heavy side, the mouth is sweet, the first bite is not amazing, but after the first bite, they still want to take the second bite.

"The Sword Comes"

The people next to him probably feel like this, the province and Hong Kong are not separated, and the tastes on both sides are probably similar, the older the more so, so many young people will vote for Peter, and those who are a little older will choose Brother Zhang without hesitation.

As for why? Because the taste can carry the memory, many people think of the age when they were young because of this mouthful of pho, where are there still many people who can make this kind of taste?

This vote is enough for feelings, and the taste is also very good.

Soon, the voting ended, and the host began to sing the vote as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, but Brother Zhang was not in a hurry, but walked to Peter's plate and picked up chopsticks and ate the rest of the pho.

"It's delicious." Brother Zhang gave him a thumbs up: "It's really delicious." ”

And Peter thanked him and walked to Brother Zhang's plate to take a bite, after eating, he smacked it, then took another bite, and then divided it by two to eat the remaining half of the plate.

He wiped his mouth with a tissue, turned his head back to the side and asked, "Did you add soy sauce twice?" Why? ”

"Because...... Didn't add enough the first time. Brother Zhang was also very calm: "It will be very light." ”

At this time, Peter suddenly thought of a detail, that is, when Brother Zhang was heating the pot before, he added two large spoons of soy sauce at the beginning, and then he boiled the soy sauce, and then he used the boiled soy sauce as a seasoning......

At this moment, Peter immediately understood the key to the outstanding taste of his pho, which was that the soy sauce he used was thicker, so it looked the same amount but tasted heavier than his own soy sauce, and he must have added sugar when boiling the soy sauce!

Sugar is added to soy sauce instead of pho, which is really retro.

Soon, the score of the first dry fried Niu River came out, and Brother Xiao Zhang won the set with a narrow advantage of three votes.

Peter looked at him, then nodded, and held out his hand to him, "I stole a trick, thank you." ”

"You're welcome." Brother Zhang also shook hands with him with a smile.

The first course was Brother Zhang's victory, and this game also ushered in a climax, because of the publicity of the neighbors, more people came to the scene, and even some chefs from surrounding restaurants also came to join in the fun.

After a short break, the second dish of the competition came up - roast chicken.

When he heard this, the pony down there just fucking laughed out loud.

If you don't inquire about the fame of Brother Zhang's roast chicken in Chang'an Lane, it is really a god, and the pony can be regarded as going south and north, but it is absolutely impossible to say whose roast chicken can be better than Brother Zhang.

Who is this certified? This is Qingqiu Yuan Nine-Tailed Sky Fox King personally certified, that year Pi Ye brought a roast chicken back, after the Sky Fox King ate it, after the New Year, he squatted in Xiao Zhang's place to eat two and a half months of roast chicken, and the chicken ate more than 300 pieces, spending a total of 30,000 yuan, which is still recorded in Pi Ye's account.

It is conceivable how much the fox king loves to eat Xiao Zhang's roast chicken, and he is the fox king, so it is impossible to say that he eats less.

And when Brother Zhang heard this, he was also a little surprised, he looked back at Peter: "Roast chicken?" ”

"What? No? ”

"Will ......"

Peter smiled, "Let's get started." ”

Brother Zhang handled 170 chickens a day at his peak, and even if he didn't use any ability, as long as he gave him a kitchen knife, he could dismember the chickens without touching a chicken bone.

In ancient times, there was a cook to solve the cow, and now there is Brother Zhang to dismantle the chicken.

When Peter was handling the roast chicken according to the normal process, he saw Brother Zhang's handling of the chicken, and that skillfulness shocked Peter at that time.

He wanted to stop now, but admitting defeat was much more ugly than losing, so he had to abandon distractions and carefully smear the chicken in his hand with his special honey sauce.

Brother Zhang, on the other hand, is slow to deal with the hairs on the chicken that are not completely clean, and the progress is obviously slower than Peter's, but he is not panicked at all, because this chicken is fresh enough, and he can make a raw roast that he can't usually make with frozen chicken.

This dish is a hidden menu in the hidden menu of Brother Zhang's late-night canteen.
