Chapter 123: Dark Cuisine
The moment all the chefs started, everyone's eyes immediately fell on several of them.
Without exception, these figures include the chefs of the three major hotels, among which Huo Zhengqi, the chef of the Caihua Hotel, is the most dazzling.
I saw Huo Zhengqi put the washed green pepper in front of him, and the sharp kitchen knife rolled up a burst of gorgeous knife flowers, and the green pepper in front of him turned into neat green pepper shreds in an instant.
Then collect the shredded green peppers into a plate, put a large white radish on the cutting board, click and cut it into several large pieces, and put it into the pork bone broth that is simmering on the side.
The moment the lid of the pot is opened, the rich fragrance wafts out, like a small hand scratching, crazily stretching its claws on the stomach.
Put in the white radish segment, cover the pot, and the fragrance suddenly stops, which makes people feel lost.
Feeling the sight around him, Huo Zhengqi hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, with smugness in his eyes.
This pork bone broth is not an ordinary pork bone broth, and his special recipe is added to it, which can not only enhance the fragrance, but also completely extract the umami of the pork bone broth.
It can be said that this pot of pork bone soup is definitely one of his best dishes.
And except for the special formula, which is more troublesome, the rest of the operation can be described as extremely simple.
You only need to add the high-quality pork bones to boil, boil out the broth, and then cut the white radish into sections.
Not only does it taste great at the end, but it also makes time for him to make other dishes, killing multiple birds with one stone!
After making the pork bones and stewed radish, Huo Zhengqi completely gave up here.
Instead, start cutting up the ingredients and putting them on a plate for easy use.
I took an iron pot from the right-hand side and brought it to the stove that had been placed, the gas was blue and flamed, and the water vapor in the iron pot evaporated rapidly, and soon became dry, and the bottom was slightly red.
A spoonful of lard is scooped into it, making a soft snorting sound and turning into shiny oily water.
Until wisps of white smoke began to emerge around the oil pot, Huo Zhengqi took it and turned it over, and the plate of green silk was put into the oil pot.
But after a while, a choking hot smell came out, making people's eyes astringent, and their throats were like a handful of sand, and they wanted to cough violently.
But this is nothing for ordinary people, for chefs who have been on the "battlefield" for a long time, and they have long been used to it.
When the green shreds are half-cooked and the shredded meat is put into the pot, it suddenly seems that some kind of chemical reaction has occurred, and the choking hot and spicy smell is instantly mixed with the aroma of the meat, brewing a unique fragrance.
Subsequently, stir-fry, add salt, add monosodium glutamate, a series of steps in one go, each time is just right, one second more is too late, one second less is too early!
When the last dish of shredded green pepper meat was poured out, the fragrance was like a demon, and the whole square resounded with the sound of swallowing saliva.
It wasn't until Huo Zhengqi covered the shredded green pepper meat with a silver cover that the fragrance was cut off, and everyone swallowed the last mouthful of saliva.
With fire in his eyes, he secretly prayed that he would be chosen, this was a gluttonous feast!
Compared with the surrounding heat and bells and whistles, Wang Xiaocong's side is much more bland.
At this time, he was holding a few cucumbers, using a delicate knife to carve on the surface of the cucumbers, and each knife fell extremely seriously, as if he was stroking his lover.
When most of the others finished the first dish, Wang Xiaocong was still carving, but the carved cucumber seemed to have been changed.
And what's even more strange is that the cucumber that has been carved has not changed in the slightest on the surface, as if Wang Xiaocong has never touched it before.
After completing the second cucumber, Wang Xiaocong put it together with the first cucumber, and there was not the slightest juice on the desk in his hand.
Some people inadvertently saw this scene, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes, how could this be? Probably Wang Xiaocong wiped it off with a rag.
After getting the cucumber, Wang Xiaocong breathed a long sigh of relief.
Among his three dishes, this dish is the most important core, and it is also the most complex dish.
You must know that this dish is not simple, it seems to be just a meaningless boring carving by Wang Xiaocong, but in fact, there are a lot of things used, and they are all things that other chefs can't do.
This contains a combination of Wang Xiaocong's various skills, cooking + war king, cooking + flying flowers and leaves, cooking + bamboo art......
Basically, all the skills were combined to allow Wang Xiaocong to complete the prototype of this dish.
Now this dish looks unremarkable, just because Wang Xiaocong has not yet released its charm.
When it is fully revealed, Wang Xiaocong believes that it will definitely amaze everyone!
"Whew-"
Glancing around, most of the second courses were at least a third of the way done, well, okay, I thought they could finish the second course together.
Although there is no time limit for this competition, everyone has completed it, and you are waiting for you alone, which is still quite embarrassing......
"Well, I overestimated you, I still have so much time left." Wang Xiaocong shook his head.
It happened that Huo Zhengqi next to him glanced at this side, and saw Wang Xiaocong shaking his head, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy.
What do you mean?
Shake one’s head?
Do you have that qualification?
Huo Zheng snorted angrily and continued to finish his second course.
Wang Xiaocong heard Huo Zhengqi's angry snort, and only felt inexplicable, I recruited you to provoke you? I'm targeting all of you, okay!
emmm……
Subsequently, Wang Xiaocong didn't bother to pay attention to them, and started his own dark cuisine.
When Wang Xiaocong took out the first ingredient, the onlookers all trembled, and couldn't help but take a step back and look at Wang Xiaocong in horror.
"! Isn't that a cockroach! Is that guy trying to make cockroaches to eat? Will anyone eat that! ”
"I'll go, cowhide! It seems that Qingfeng Hotel has completely given up on treatment, what the hell is this chef who sent out, and he has been carving cucumbers for a long time and don't know what the effect is, and he is making cockroaches, huh~"
"This chef can't be sent by the Qingfeng Hotel, right...... God assists! Ha! ”
Everyone was startled at first, and then they ridiculed one after another, after all, Wang Xiaocong was too much like giving an assist to the opposite side.
The bosses who were watching the play also looked weird, and Kang Fulong, the owner of Caihua Hotel, directly mocked: "I said, if you can't pull it off, you can tell me in private, go around such a big circle, and in the end you didn't send me Qingfeng Hotel." ”
"Boss Kang, maybe this is what if my chef is better?"
"That's right, Boss Kang, the matter hasn't been decided yet, Qingfeng Hotel is still in the hands of others, don't panic!"
Everyone laughed and laughed, as if they had already regarded Qingfeng Hotel as something in their pockets, and they did not mean to avoid Xue Zheng and Qin Feng at all.
Xue Zheng and Qin Feng twitched, closed their lips tightly, and were silent.
