Chapter 54: A Winter Melon Turning into Flesh
"Uncle Luo Hui, I'll go back first!"
After finishing the cooking of the steamed sea bass in the evening, Qin Lang waved his hand to Luo Hui, who was still busy in the restaurant.
"Prepare well for the game the day after tomorrow, I'm looking forward to your performance!" Luo Hui also waved his hand at Qin Lang, but he quickly got busy again under the call of the diners.
Retracting his gaze from Luo Hui, Qin Lang walked out of the restaurant.
The next moment, his face turned slightly strange.
At the door of the restaurant, Qin Lang saw three familiar figures.
"Why are you here?" He couldn't help but speak.
"True to my nemesis, you actually collected all three Referrer badges so quickly, and you have the qualifications to participate in the cooking competition." Zhao Chen clasped his hands to his chest, revealing an expression of "Only you are worthy of being my opponent like this", "Since this is the case, I have to work harder." ”
"In a few days, I'll surprise you!"
He spoke confidently, as if he had a plan in mind.
"In that case, come on." Seeing Zhao Chen's mysterious appearance, Qin Lang perfunctorily encouraged, "That's what you're talking about when you come to me to find me?" ”
"I'll tell you." Qi Xiaoyu on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but interject, "I got three VIP tickets for the infield of the event the day after tomorrow, this is the best perspective of cooking the event venue!" ”
She took out three tickets from her pocket and shook them in front of Qin Lang's eyes, "When the time comes, I will go to watch you compete with Wei Wei and a certain guy from the second second, you have to come on, don't be eliminated in the rating competition!" ”
"Hey! What is a guy in Form 2? Zhao Chen on the side couldn't help but shout, but was ignored.
Du Weiwei, who was standing next to Qi Xiaoyu, glanced at Qin Lang and also spoke, "Come on, game." ”
When she saw Qin Lang's name appear on the list of contestants, she became more and more aware of the gap between the two in cooking.
No one knew better than a few of them how terrifying Qin Lang's speed was at obtaining the three Recommender Badges.
They could be said to have watched Qin Lang reach such an extent from registering as an Imperial Spirit Chef in just a few days.
"Thank you." Knowing the intention of the three of them, Qin Lang showed a grateful look, "I'll try not to swim in one round." ”
Thinking of the inspiration that suddenly came to life in Uncle Luo Hui's words before dinner hours, confidence appeared in his eyes.
If it's that dish, it must be able to do well in the rating competition.
Advancing to the top eight shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The three of them came here just to cheer Qin Lang on, and by the way, they told them that they would watch the game in the infield.
After some conversation, they took their leave.
Zhao Chen seemed to want to say something, but was directly pulled away by Qi Xiaoyu covering his mouth.
Looking at the disappeared figures of the three of them, Qin Lang smiled slightly, and soon returned home with Danbao.
"Goo?"
After closing the door, Danbao rubbed Qin Lang's face, and a curious look appeared on the egg yolk's little face.
With the same heart, it had already guessed that Qin Lang had an idea for the dishes of the rating competition the day after tomorrow.
So, what kind of dish will it be this time?
It's curious.
"It's a very special vegetarian dish." Qin Lang said with a smile, "It's not easy to explain for a while, why don't I do it again, can you try it?" ”
"It just so happens that I need to cook a few more times before the game."
"Gollum!"
Danbao's eyes lit up in an instant.
You can taste it now!
Watching Qin Lang open the refrigerator and pick out the required ingredients and walk into the kitchen, Danbao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly followed.
Vegetarian dishes, this is the best scene where freshness comes into play!
Soon, one person and one spirit were busy in the kitchen.
Qin Lang does not use many ingredients, the main ingredients are only a large piece of winter melon and a box of tofu, and the auxiliary materials are also common accessories such as green onions, ginger, star anise, and cinnamon.
"Whew~"
Seeing the winter melon placed in front of him, Danbao very intuitively began to blow hard at it.
After so many times of cooking, the tacit understanding of one person and one spirit has been tempered.
While the egg treasure was busy, Qin Lang gently poured the box of tofu on the cutting board to make its form complete, and then trimmed the tough part of the outer surface, leaving a softer inside, and used a kitchen knife to refine it into a regular square, and then divided it into small squares two fingers wide.
Then, cut it into flakes of about five millimeters.
Almost at the same time that Qin Lang was handling the tofu with his knife, Danbao had also used his own food skills to make the winter melon with skin in the best condition.
"Good." When he stretched out his hand to bring the winter melon to him, Qin Lang noticed the little eyes of Danbao who was "asking for praise", and gave his encouragement in a timely manner.
So Danbao's little head suddenly shook up and down excitedly.
It took the initiative to fly over the green onion and ginger on the side, and continued to blow and blow.
Qin Lang, on the other hand, gently moved the freshly cut tofu to the corner of the cutting board with a knife, placed the winter melon in the center of the cutting board, and began to peel it with a quick knife.
The dark cyan rind was quickly separated from the winter melon under Qin Lang's knife after knife cutting, and fell into the trash can on the side, and the light cyan melon flesh close to the skin was also separated and left by Qin Lang.
After hollowing out the center of the winter melon, a large piece of winter melon changed in Qin Lang's hand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a few breaths, it turned into a small square as two fingers wide as the tofu just now, and then it was cut into slices by Qin Lang with a thickness similar to that of the tofu slices.
"Goo?"
Egg Bao had finished processing the green onion and ginger, and at this moment he came up and looked curiously at the tofu slices and winter melon slices on the cutting board.
The food, which was cut into evenly sized pieces, reminded it of a toy called building blocks that it had seen two days ago.
What kind of vegetarian dish is this?
"Wait a minute, you'll see." As Qin Lang spoke, he also put the sliced winter melon aside, and began to process the light cyan winter melon flesh left before.
These parts close to the skin will be harder than the flesh inside, and at the same time more tough.
After processing them into flakes about the size of tofu slices, but thinner, Qin Lang marked each slice of green winter melon with a cross knife and carefully colored them with dark soy sauce.
The light cyan color was smudged by the dark old smack for a moment, turning into a dark brown color, and the faint smell of soy sauce escaping from the air made the egg treasure on the side couldn't help but sniff.
Remove from heat and heat oil.
The oil temperature is five or six hot, and the slices of winter melon are colored with dark soy sauce one by one.
"Zila~"
In just an instant, the moisture inside the winter melon boiled under the hot oil, turning into countless small bubbles and escaping into the air.
The surface of the fried winter melon is a little burnt, and when the chopsticks are picked up, they shake slightly and then shake with the chopsticks, rippling with an alluring shine under the lamp.
As the internal moisture leaves during the frying process, the green winter melon, which was originally hard and tough, looks a little loose and soft and waxy.
Danbao's eyes widened.
How is this a bit like...
Meat skin?!
