Volume 1 Dali Fengyun 44 Easy to do what you are good at, please yourself and others, and rely on your own ability

Hao Wei looked dazed, and suddenly remembered what happened just now, and his face instantly turned blood-red. His skin was fair, and the red was extremely obvious, and the four of them also found it amused, and laughed unscrupulously. Xiao Yi saw Hao Wei's face turn blue, so he suppressed his smile and said,

"Master Hao Wei, how about discussing something with you. ”

Hao Wei rubbed his fat face and replied,

"Hurry up, I'll have to get back to the spoon. ”

Tong Lu smiled and said,

"There will be a chef contest in three days, and the winner will win the title of chef, Master Hao Wei, we are all very optimistic about you!"

Hao Wei sneered and said,

"I'm not interested, if there's nothing else, I'll go first. ”

After saying that, he pulled his legs and left. Tong Lu shouted,

"As expected, I said that Hao Wei didn't dare to fight, and you still don't believe it, well, it's still Master Hao Xiang who is more powerful. ”

Hao Wei stopped when he heard this, turned around, and said angrily,

"What does it have to do with that Hao Xiang!"

A few people deliberately didn't look at him, and slowly walked towards the city, and listened to Tong Ludao,

"Hey, it seems that this Master Hao Xiang is really what everyone wants, this Dali chef god is captured by his hand, and there is no suspense at all. Hey, it's a little less interesting. ”

Bai Qing echoed,

"That's right, I heard that Chef Hao Wei barely has a few good dishes, but compared to Chef Hao Xiang, it can be one in the sky and one in the ground. ”

Hao Wei was so angry that he yelled,

"You actually say that I am not as good as that Hao Xiang, you are angry with me, you are angry with me!

Tong Lu looked at Hao Wei suspiciously,

"Hey, isn't this Master Hao Wei, why are you still here, we thought you were gone. ”

Several people pretended to be embarrassed together, and listened to Tong Lu again,

"Master Hao Wei, did you hear what you said just now? It's all nonsense, don't take it seriously. Our competition is indeed to choose a chef god, but even if you don't participate, Chef Hao Xiang may not be able to win the championship, let's just wait to see a good show!"

After saying that, a few people walked to leave. Hao Wei followed Tong Lu and shouted,

"Then Hao Xiang also wants to participate?"

"yes!"

"How's that for a comparison?"

"Public comment. Master Hao, don't you not participate, just be a spectator like us, this competition is very lively, you must not miss it!"

Hao Wei shouted,

"I want to participate, I want to participate, with him Hao Xiang, how can I be without me, and also, how can I lose to him!

Tong Lu pointed at Sun Baoshan and said with a smile,

"Look for him!"

Sun Baoshan had already prepared a pen and paper, looked at Hao Wei with a smile, and wrote down all the details one by one as before. Sun Baoshan told Hao Wei about the rules of the game, but in the end, he didn't tell him that only Hao Xiang and Hao Wei participated in the game. Hao Wei thought to himself, the dishes he made must be more in line with the public's taste, and he didn't want anything else, as long as he could beat Hao Xiang, it would be good, as for the name of the kitchen god, it didn't matter, but he didn't want it. Hao Wei said goodbye to a few people, entered the city gate and went back to the Dongfu Tower. Everyone was a little frightened when they saw him, and they were also very amused.

The big thing has been completed, and the three of Xiao Yi and Sun Baoshan are Zhang Luo respectively. Sun Baoshan found someone to set up a stove, prepared various cooking tools, and ordered ingredients with merchants. Xiao Yi and the three of them were responsible for publicity, Tong Lu had a lot of ideas, and he posted newspapers, and he was looking for someone to spread the word on the street, and even the storyteller took money to help say a few words, and overnight, it became known to everyone in Dali City. The people were waiting to see a good show, thinking that if they were lucky enough to be elected as a judge, they would not only be able to taste the food for free, but also show off their style in front of their parents and fellow villagers. Childe's side is very calm, and Xiao Yi also knows that as long as he says a word, those son-in-law brothers will not break their legs.

On this day, the sky is sunny and clear, except for the New Year's Festival, there are few such interesting things happening in this Dali City, the people gathered at the gate of the East City early in the morning, or Sun Baoshan found a lot of warriors, set up a fence, so as not to make the scene chaotic. Most people come here to join in the fun, just because the name of this "Wind and Snow Moon" is too loud. Seeing such a scene, everyone shouted excitedly, and many hawkers saw the business opportunity, and also set up a stall not far away to sell some tea and fruit snacks, etc., and the business was much better than usual. The children fled in the crowd, causing some of the grumpy middle-aged women to scold. The two guys almost started to fight for the best viewing position.

Hao Wei arrived at the competition site before Hao Xiang, he looked around, wanting to find the opponent first, but he inquired in many ways, but he didn't see the other contestants, and when he hesitated, Hao Xiang strode over, seeing that he was radiant and full of energy. What made Hao Wei even more angry was that Hao Xiang was followed by the team of "Fenghua Xueyue" guys, and the first two also pulled a banner with eight big characters written on it, "Fenghua Xueyue Kitchen God Hao Xiang", so angry that Hao Wei gritted his teeth and couldn't stop stomping his feet. Hao Xiang came closer, glanced at Hao Wei, ignored him, and then clasped his fists and saluted the crowd. The people all know that this "wind and snow" is not a luxury restaurant that ordinary people can consume, and most people have not even stepped into the door of his house with one foot, and it is not in vain to be able to see this chef's demeanor today, the audience applauded warmly, Hao Wei on the side was so angry that his face turned blue, he stared at Hao Xiang with his nostrils, snorted loudly, and turned his head not to look at everyone.

Suddenly, there were a lot of sedan chairs outside the city, one race and one gorgeous, and it seemed that this sedan chair was also competing with each other. Sun Baoshan originally prepared a large open area for dignitaries and dignitaries, but this sedan chair came too much, and it was impossible to fit it, and many sedan chair bearers bumped into each other, and the sound of scolding was endless. Tong Lu also frowned greatly when he saw this situation, if he allowed them to act like this, the scene would inevitably be chaotic. He stood on a high place and shouted,

Childe said, throw away these broken sedan chairs far away, and if you still see the sedan chair at the beginning of the game, no matter who he is, they will all be tied up and locked up. ”

The palanquin bearers didn't care, and they were still arguing with each other. Sun Baoshan said a few words in the ear of a person beside him, and the man beckoned, took the three of them forward, put down the most crowded sedan chair, and dragged the person in the sedan chair out. The man got off the sedan chair, he was at a loss, and before he could react, his hands and feet were tied together with hemp rope, and he shouted,

"I am Lord Xiaoye, you dare to ......"

Before he finished speaking, he slapped his mouth, and blood instantly appeared in his mouth, and the little prince covered his mouth and cried. He peeked at the man opposite, only to feel that the man was strong, and if he was really ruthless, he was afraid that he would not be able to take a punch. The man roared,

"Is there anything else you want to try? ”

The sedan chair drivers had never seen such a fierce person, and they all retreated, and after a while, the sedan chair disappeared, leaving only about a hundred or so rich sons and ladies wearing gold and silver. This group of young ladies is also very good, in such a situation, they are still graceful, beautiful and dignified, and they do not hide their luxurious identity. The strong man took Miss Childe to a place, and Miss Childe looked closer, but she wanted to squeeze together with the people, but she was reluctant to come forward. The strong man said angrily,

"Don't you dare to listen to Childe's words, don't you want to live!"

When the young ladies of Childe heard this, they instantly lost their temperament, and crowded together with the people, although they were reluctant, but they did not dare to openly disobey Childe's will, so they could only call their personal guards and scholars and the like to be by their side. The little prince was squeezed to the innermost position with the help of all the family members, and he forgot the pain just now, and looked at the two chefs excitedly. Dealing with these young ladies of the son, Sun Baoshan smiled and looked at the sky, the sun had just risen a little, and the time set by the son had arrived. Sun Baoshan beckoned, and the drummer waved the drum hammer, smashing the drum with a bang, and one person shouted,

"The game is on. ”

The person who shouted was Xiao Yi, and Tong Lu should have been responsible for this matter, but he had an uncomfortable throat today, so he let Xiao Yi take his place. Xiao Yi shouted loudly,

"Now read out the rules of the game. There are two players in today's competition, and both of them are also well-known figures. ”

He pointed to Hao Wei and said,

"One of them, the first chef of Dongfu Building, Chef Hao Wei Hao, his cooking skills are superb, everyone must have heard of it, and there are many people who often go to Dongfu Building, so he should not be too strange. Everyone applauded him for encouragement and encouragement!"

Hao Wei only realized that only his two brothers participated in today's game, although he didn't like it in his heart, it was not good to say anything in this situation, so he could only smile and wave to the people. He kept thinking in his heart, and when he saw that the people loved him so much, he was a little more sure in his heart.

Xiao Yi saw that the time was almost up, and continued to introduce,

"This other one is Chef Hao Xianghao, the top chef of 'Fenghua Xueyue'. His cooking skills are also very good, and I believe that many young ladies are also aware of it. ”

Xiao Yi pointed at Hao Xiang, and another burst of warm applause rang out, which seemed to be better than before, which made Hao Wei not very happy. Hao Xiang was very useful, and couldn't stop clenching his fists and returning the salute. The 'Wind and Snow Moon' guys shouted in unison, the scene was extremely enthusiastic, and several sons and brothers knew Hao Xiang, and they also made the family take the lead in coaxing, and the scene was even more lively. Xiao Yi spread his hands and continued,

"The two chefs are both famous chefs in the city of Dali, and their reputation is so great that I am afraid that the most remote villagers in this Dali country have also heard of it. I believe many people have already guessed that our two celebrity chefs are a pair of brothers, and now the two brothers are about to be separated, and I want you to be a witness!"

Everyone applauded, and listened to Xiao Yi's words,

"Now let's get the two chefs ready, let's talk about the rules of the game. ”

The audience calmed down and listened carefully to what he said,

"Today is a competition between two chefs, and they are only allowed to bring their own knives to turn the iron pot, and the rest of the ingredients are assistants and the like, neither of the two chefs has ever seen them. For the sake of fairness, we also need to elect 51 reviewers, who are old and young, men and women, rich sons and poor children, and enter the review area after a while. We have a total of five dishes today, and I don't know exactly what to do, but when we get the topic, they will be free to play. The work of our judges is not simple, we need to make a comprehensive review from all aspects such as knife skills, spoon work, aroma and taste, color and style, I don't know if any of us have volunteered to participate!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone raised their hands, Xiao Yi was so happy that he walked to the crowd to select the commentators. Ten young children, ten rich young ladies, ten middle-aged women, ten strong men, and eleven old men, just made up fifty-one people. The "little prince" is also among them, he was caught and beaten just now, and it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. When Hao Xiang saw these people, he was also a little more sure in his heart, he thought to himself, these ten rich sons and young ladies will definitely vote for him, this young child likes to eat beautifully, and he is much stronger than Hao Wei in this regard, as long as the middle-aged woman and the old man can get half of the votes, he will have a great chance of winning. He looked at Hao Wei with a playful smile, but Hao Wei's face was a little stiff, but in this case, he couldn't tear his face with his brother, so he could only squeeze out a smile, which was extremely ugly.

Xiao Yi turned around and asked,

"Are the two Master Hao ready?"

Hao Xiang and Hao Wei nodded together, Hao Xiang looked relaxed, Hao Wei was sweaty palms, everyone saw it, only to feel that Hao Wei seemed to be lacking in confidence, and they also cheered for him. Hao Wei breathed a long sigh of relief before he stabilized. Both of them have a smart assistant by their side, who is only responsible for delivering the ingredients, and all the cooking processes are handled by the two themselves, including washing and cutting vegetables, controlling the heat, stir-frying out of the pot, etc.

Sun Baoshan brought a small bamboo tube, Xiao Yi opened it, and inside was a silk silk with the name of a dish written on it. After Xiao Yi saw it, he said loudly,

"The first course, stir-fried shredded radish. Two masters, you can start. ”

When the people heard this, they were also in an uproar. How can such a simple dish be handled, and it is still stir-fried, I don't know how these two chefs can perform. When Hao Xiang heard this, he was overjoyed, he knew that Gongzi was going to test the sword skills of the two, and he definitely had a 100% chance of winning in this regard. He took the large piece of radish handed by the assistant next to him, peeled and shredded, and was extremely confident and skillful. Hao Wei sighed, and he was also busy, but everyone knew that although his knife skills were good, they were slightly inferior to Hao Xiang. Light the fire into the oil, stir-fry the ginger shreds, stir-fry the shredded radish in the pot, and add a few green onions when the pot starts. The members of the council were dumbfounded, and they couldn't imagine that these two people could be so chic and comfortable making this simplest stir-fried shredded radish. The judges stepped forward to taste the dishes, looking at the dishes on this large plate, Master Hao Xiang's shredded radish was exquisitely placed and very smooth, plus a few cool accessories made of radish skins, it really looked good. Looking at Master Hao Wei's again, it looks much messy, compared with the previous plate, one is like a girl's green silk, and the other is an old woman's unkempt hair. After everyone tasted it, they felt that the two plates of fried shredded radish were sweet and delicious, which was very different from what they usually eat at home, and they were full of praise for their cooking skills. The taste is not up or down, but this knife skill and tricks Hao Xiang are a few points stronger, and the commentators are divided into two teams, standing on both sides of Hao Xiang and Hao Wei. In this round, Hao Xiang won a big victory with a disparity of forty-seven to four, Hao Xiang was very proud, deliberately looked at the spatula in Hao Wei's hand and laughed, Hao Wei was very annoyed by his look, he forced his mind and clenched the spoon in his hand.

Sun Baoshan handed over the first bamboo tube again, and Xiao Yi said after reading it,

"This second course, elbows. It is not explained how to do it, so please feel free to play. ”

This time, Hao Wei was pleased, he had a lot of experience in the practice of big meat, and Hao Xiang was meticulous, if he was making an elbow, he had to cut the meat, but he would definitely suffer some losses in such a game. The assistants on both sides handed over the ingredients, and the two of them skillfully operated, and when they smothered their elbows, Xiao Yi's voice came,

"It's been too long to make this elbow, now let's make the next dish, pine flower white strips. ”

The two Hao masters began to fiddle with the white strips, and the auxiliary stove on the side had already been lit, warming the water in the pot. This winter white strip is really hard to get, Erhai Sea is beautiful, and the taste of this white strip is of course a must. On the shore of Erhai Lake, everyone will make this white strip, but watching these two chefs make it is a different feeling. Everyone only said that their skills in killing fish were good, and when they saw these two people, they realized that there were too many capable people in this world, and they were short-sighted. The guys of the "Wind and Snow Moon" were also stunned, they had never seen the chef handle the ingredients by himself, and as soon as they showed their hands, they were shocked. Like the stir-fried shredded radish before, Master Hao Xiang's fish looks appetizing, and of course the taste is also good, although Master Hao Wei's side is a little worse, but the taste is beautiful, and it is very in line with the taste of the public. The members of the council were unable to make a choice for a while, and a few hesitated, sometimes left and then right, and finally stood in the middle and did not move. This pine flower white strip, Hao Xiang got twenty-one votes, Hao Wei got twenty-two votes, and the remaining eight did not make a choice, and Master Hao Xiang lost the game by one vote, and he was also so angry that he was panting. The guys in the "Wind Flower Snow Moon" below are still waving their flags and shouting, and the momentum is compelling.

"The next dish, three fresh soups. Two masters, please!" Xiao Yi said in a loud voice.

This fresh soup is Hao Xiang's specialty, but when he cooks, he seems to be very leisurely, and the cutting technique is exquisite, and the vegetables are all cut to the average size. Master Hao Wei seems to be a little different here, and he hasn't been put into the pot yet, so his appearance is a lot worse. After the pot was raised, Master Hao Xiang fiddled with it again, and everyone was very surprised. In these three fresh soups, three kinds of vegetables and three colors are neatly and regularly mixed and arranged, stacked like fish scales, which is very eye-catching. Looking at Master Hao Wei here, he is much more rude, and at first glance, he has lost a few points. As expected, Master Hao Xiang won by a large score, leading by a total score of 2-1. Hao Wei's face was full of frustration, and he only hoped that the elbow in the pot would be able to move back to Yicheng.

Not long after, the two of them got up together, and the smell of meat came to their faces, and the judges drooled, vying to come forward and eat the first bite. The people on the side couldn't resist it and cried out hungry one after another. The reviewer stepped forward to take a look, and saw that Master Hao Xiang's elbow was cut into small pieces, neatly arranged, bright in color, and served with chopped coriander and green onions, which made people have a great appetite. Looking at this Hao Wei master again, the huge elbow just had a few knife holes inserted in his body, and everyone was also curious whether this taste could really enter it. One of them hurried forward and cut off a piece with a knife and put it in his mouth. His expression froze instantly, and the person on the side asked him how he was, and it took him a while to react and shout,

"It's not delicious at all, you eat that plate, this plate belongs to me. ”

When everyone heard him say this, they understood that this man was greedy, so they stepped forward to cut off the meat, and for a while, few people ate Hao Xiang's slices of meat. Everyone was full of praise, and when they turned around and ate Hao Xiang's elbow, they all felt dull and tasteless. This man is really strange, and he is also a very delicious delicacy, but when he encounters a better one, he sees it as a mediocre work. Xiao Yi and the three of them couldn't help but shake their heads while watching, puzzled. Master Hao Wei won the game with a unanimous vote, he clenched his fists and gave his hands, and now the battle is 2-2, only to wait for the next game to use powerful means, and defeated this invincible compatriot brother in one fell swoop. Losing so badly also made Hao Xiang feel ashamed, with two wins and two losses in four games, although it is not over yet, his mentality has also undergone some subtle changes. The onlookers of the "Wind Flower Snow Moon" were also a little embarrassed at this time, and the shouting and cheering were much quieter. The people shouted loudly, thinking that this last game would be the only way to decide the winner and see better. Hao Xiang and Hao Wei also knew that this was the last game, and they would definitely do their best to defeat the other party in one fell swoop. Everyone looked at Xiao Yi on the high platform, waiting for him to say the name of the next dish.

Xiao Yi looked at the silk cloth, his face was a little incredulous, he looked down again carefully, swallowed his saliva, and said word by word,

"The last game, cabbage bran dumplings!"
