The 10 judges put down their chopsticks and had embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Originally, after they tasted Fan Fei's chef's dishes, they felt that Liu Yifeng could not beat him, after all, they were cooking a palace banquet, and they were the apprentices and grandchildren of the imperial chef.

But the current situation is that Liu Yifeng's squirrel fish is as delicious as it, and even if they don't explain it at the beginning, and the two dishes are served to them to choose, they may think that both dishes are for the palace banquet.

Fan Fei also put down his chopsticks with a complicated face, glanced at Liu Yifeng, who was as usual on his face, and then at Zhang Jun, who was proud, and asked, "Where did you dig up the master?" ”

"Guess."

This is what he learned from Liu Yifeng, and he found it easy to use to scare people.

"Hmph, you're in luck."

After speaking, he looked at the judges who were discussing in a whisper, and found that they were looking at the empty plate of squirrel fish in addition to their discussion.

Indeed, most of the judges thought that Squirrel Fish was superior.

In terms of taste, both are sweet and sour meat dishes, one is pork loin, the other is fish, the meat quality is different, and it is difficult to distinguish between winners and losers.

In terms of taste, both of them are also fried after the process of flour coating, and you can't eat the dishes made by Fan Fei's chef, the flour coating is obviously thicker, and the taste in this aspect is stronger than Liu Yifeng's squirrel fish. But there were also 2 or 3 judges who objected to this, saying that if the dough was thicker, he might get tired if he ate a few more bites.

None of them only got a share, and the greasy in the noodle was not as greasy as theirs, but the people here were indeed old foodies, and they really couldn't deny the possibility that a few more pieces would not be greasy.

So in terms of taste, most of the judges still think it's a tie again.

In the end, it was visual, and it was at this time that Fan Fei looked at the judges and found that they were all discussing squirrel fish.

On the other side, Fan Fei's tool man and cook walked over with a gloomy face, a little reluctant to bow to Liu Yifeng, who was not as old as his son.

Then without waiting for Liu Yifeng to return the gift, he asked: "Dare to ask who the little brother studied from?" ”

"Well, I didn't apprentice."

Don't say that this cook doesn't believe it, Lao Wang looked at Liu Yifeng with wide eyes.

"Hmph, the cooking skills are good, but the temperament is crazy!"

After spraying Liu Yifeng, Fan Fei's cook turned his head and left.

Liu Yifeng is quite wronged, but he really didn't worship a teacher, or he worshipped too many teachers.

It is difficult for later generations to understand the tradition of master-apprentice mentoring in every industry in ancient China, in that era when knowledge is no longer so valuable, unless it is high-end knowledge or timely knowledge, as long as you are diligent, you can get it. In ancient times, most people had to sincerely worship someone as their master, and they had to be apprentices for a long time, and after experiencing the test of the master, they could learn up to 8% of the master's skills.

Liu Yifeng's cooking skills, in the eyes of the people of this era, are impossible without the intimate teaching of the master.

Fan Fei's chef is a proud person, and he does deserve this proud skill, he claims to be a relatively well-known person in the chef circle, seeing that Liu Yifeng showed that he is not weaker than his own cooking skills, he secretly guessed that it might be the descendant of a certain chef, or even the grandson of a certain imperial chef, so he came to test it.

As a result, Liu Yifeng was angry with Liu Yifeng's sentence "I didn't apprentice".

If you don't want to answer, you don't want to answer, just refuse to say "Master won't let me say", why do you prevaricate yourself by saying this kind of lie that 3-year-old children know?

In fact, according to Liu Yifeng's emotional intelligence, he must be able to say the polite refusal of "Master won't let me say it". But subconsciously, like many people in later generations, he really didn't have much concept of the ancient master-apprentice tradition, so he didn't think about it in any direction.

This is the chef of the Maritime Safety Bureau of the ghost city, the chef of the restaurant where he bought his recipe in the city, the many cooks under the command of Shopkeeper Chen, and the old Wang around him can prove it for him.

They have an almost respectful attitude towards Liu Yifeng, because when Liu Yifeng is cooking, he has to answer their questions, and he can answer them in detail every time, which is something that their master may not be able to do.

In essence, Liu Yifeng doesn't care about his skills that can completely open a sect in this era.

After he got angry with Fan Fei's cook, it was Fan Fei's turn to get angry.

The results of the judges' anonymous vote soon appeared: Liu Yifeng won by 8 votes.

Fan Fei was quite steady, but said, "I need to know the reason." ”

In all fairness, he thought both dishes were delicious, but he couldn't accept the result of 8 to 2, and if he wanted to lose, he would have to lose at least 6 to 4.

"Master Fan, first of all, I want to make it clear that this is not my opinion, but the opinion of most of us after the discussion." A judge who has a good relationship with Fan Fei explained: "We all think that in terms of taste and texture, there is a difference between two dishes. ”

"So where did I lose?" This time, the cook was not convinced.

"In terms of the style of the dishes."

Fan Fei and Zhang Jun tried the one that the judges specially sent over with chopsticks to crush the fish, and the two had little idea of the shape of the squirrel fish. So Fan Fei was obviously not convinced, but Fan Fei's cook had seen the squirrel fish that hadn't moved his chopsticks yet, and the pride of his imperial chef disciple made him unable to say anything to refute.

Liu Yifeng not only carefully arranged, even if he didn't put the plate, the shape of the squirrel fish that people who would sigh when they first saw it in later generations was definitely much more pleasing to the eye than when he took the dish.

Fan Fei became more and more unconvinced, and he didn't see the appearance of the squirrel fish when he didn't move his chopsticks. The judges were also embarrassed, they did surround the two of them after they came out of the pot, and Fan Fei and Zhang Jun, who were sitting in the back, did not see the style of the two people's dishes.

Just when Zhang Jun was about to sneer at Fan Fei, a voice sounded: "That's it, compare again." ”

Everyone looked back at Liu Yifeng, who said this, only to see that he walked to the middle, and after saluting everyone, he said: "I see that there are still a lot of ingredients left in our preparation, in this case, I will make another plate with this master, this plate will not be tasted, it will be used to see the style of the dishes." ”

The judges thought it was feasible, but they didn't expect Liu Yifeng to continue before they nodded: "Then this master and I tasted each other's dishes, gave a quarter of an hour to study, and finally used each other's ingredients to make each other's dishes, and then compared." ”

Liu Yifeng's strong self-confidence when he spoke made Fan Fei's cook feel great pressure, he was proud but not arrogant, knowing that Liu Yifeng had real talent and learning, and he must have the strength to dare to say so. He was more and more suspicious that this tall young man must be the descendant of a certain imperial chef, otherwise this ability could not be explained clearly. Maybe he can grow so tall because he has been fed well by his grandfather since he was a child.

Fan Fei was a little moved when he heard this, and Zhang Jun, who was very confident in Liu Yifeng, also used the agitation method on the side, so he agreed.

The second round begins.

This time, Fan Fei and Zhang Jun did not sit in the back, and kept patrolling back and forth between the two sides like the 10 judges.

But more exclamations happened on Liu Yifeng's side, mainly focusing on his knife work.

To be honest, after seeing that knife job, Fan Fei already knew in his heart that the victory on his side was indeed getting smaller and smaller. After finally seeing the finished product of squirrel fish, I have to admit that Liu Yifeng said by the judges before is better than the style of the dish.

The person who also lamented that this squirrel fish was the most peculiar fish dish he had ever seen, and the chef, he couldn't even bear to use chopsticks to destroy the squirrel fish.

And Liu Yifeng showed no mercy to his dish, and secretly sighed after sandwiching a few slices into his mouth: I didn't expect that I actually ate pot-wrapped meat that was not made by himself.

Yes, the dish cooked by Chef Fan Fei is pot wrapped meat.

The taste is very good, worthy of the apprentice of the imperial chef. Liu Yifeng felt that this plate of pot-wrapped meat was enough for ordinary restaurants in the future, but he felt that there were two improvements to it.

The first point is that the pot wrapped meat made by the cook is lying sauce, and Liu Yifeng can change it to cooking sauce.

The so-called cooking sauce and lying sauce are the practices of restaurants and home-cooking. Cooking pot wrapped meat is also the traditional pot wrapped meat, the requirement is to see the meat without the juice, and at the same time, the meat will not leave soup on the plate after eating. Naturally, you can see the obvious soup, and after eating, there is generally a puddle of soup at the bottom of the plate.

In addition, there will be a difference in taste, because there is more soup, the crispy dough will be soft, and it will also absorb a lot of soup, and you will get tired if you eat too much, which some of the 10 judges have already seen. In the case of cooking sauce, it will not, and the dough will maintain a crunchy texture and will not be so easy to get greasy.

But the requirements for cooking sauce are too high, and basically it is not that old chefs dare not cook sauce.

Liu Yifeng is also the first time to challenge cooking, and he is not worried about failure, if he fails, he will just become a lying sauce pot with meat.

As for the second improvement, there are some details, green onions are shredded, green onions are shredded, carrots are shredded, these thin shredded vegetables will be put into the pot with the fried pot wrapped meat, and their role is to decorate.

Just like his plate of squirrel fish, the plate is filled with golden slices of meat, crystal soup, crisp green onions, snow-white green onions, and bright red shredded carrots. Of course, if some people like their taste, they can also be eaten with meat to relieve a little sweetness.

These two points are the practice of the restaurant, and whoever is so troublesome at home will just cut some shredded green onions if they die.

So when his cooking pot wrapped meat was served, even Fan Fei and his cook had to admit that Liu Yifeng, this kid, in addition to making the dishes delicious, would also make them look good.

As for the taste, both of them made a lot of difference. Fan Fei's chef also has real skills, and Liu Yifeng can't surpass him in terms of taste.

But on the knife side, Liu Yifeng won completely.

The squirrel fish made by Chef Fan Fei is an ordinary sweet and sour fried fish, and the taste is not bad, but he can't make pine nuts at all. It's not that he doesn't know how to change the knife, but he cut a total of 4 fish, and the fish body is finally disconnected in the frying stage like the first fish fried by Liu Yifeng.

The victory and defeat have been divided, and Fan Fei has nothing to say.

"How did you get this shape?"

Liu Yifeng glanced at the plate of squirrel fish in the cook's hand that didn't move a few chopsticks, walked to his stove, checked the 3 fish he failed to fry, and said: "You have basic knife skills, and you can't cut it well because you haven't made this dish and are not familiar with it." ”

As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was one, the cook nodded, agreed with Liu Yifeng's words, and continued to ask: "I have to spread it no matter how I fry it, and finally when the time is almost up, I can only fry it according to the ordinary method of scorching fish." ”

"You've got to blow it up."

After speaking, Liu Yifeng handed him the method of shaping the squirrel fish. In fact, it is very simple, the tail of the squirrel fish is not cut off, and the hand pinched there to let the drooping fish body invade the oil to set the shape, and it can be released after setting.

The cook's face was enlightened, and then it was a very complicated entanglement, and finally he bowed solemnly, thanking Liu Yifeng for his selfless guidance.

Fan Fei also walked over: "This master, under Fan Fei, is the commander of the Southern Army." ”

Liu Yifeng was taken aback, he didn't expect this person to be a middle-level officer of the Southern Army, so he hurriedly replied: "Xiaomin Liu Yifeng, I have seen Master Fan." ”

Zhang Jun walked over directly and blocked in front of Liu Yifeng: "Fan Fei, don't take an official accent here." ”

Fan Fei smiled, no longer pestered Liu Yifeng, and said to Zhang Jun: "Leave a place the day after tomorrow." ”

"If you don't mess with me, you're welcome."
