Li Xiaochen said: "Because I noticed that the voice you shouted before contained immortal magic, which seemed to awaken my memory of my previous life a little. That's why I noticed that you seem to be trying to provoke me. ”

Qin Yufei nodded and smiled, "I did use the Lin family's secret technique that can awaken a small part of your memories of your previous life. But this needs to be mentally stimulated for this to work. And don't do too much to people. Otherwise, you will become mentally ill. I didn't mean to lie to you. ”

Li Xiaochen waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay." And thankfully, you did. Otherwise, with my ability to draw, I will definitely lose. ”

Qin Yufei said: "The next one is about to start. I'm hearing you talking, and it's like it's going to be like cooking? Are you sure?"

Li Xiaochen shook his head and said, "I don't know either." However, the difficulty of this one is more difficult than the previous two, and the scope of the school examination is also very wide. But I definitely won't lose to Hattori Tenzo. You have a good rest. I'll get justice for you. I want everyone to know that whoever dares to hurt you will have to pay a heavy price for it!"

As he spoke, Li Xiaochen strode proudly towards the main hall of Xianmanlou. In the beginning, he did have a grudge against Hattori Tenzo. But after the competition of painting the Tao, his anger has subsided. But as a husband, he must protect his wife. If you don't give Hattori Tenzo a little bit of a taste, there will be more Hattori Tenzo hurting Qin Yufei in the future.

After everything was ready, Hattori Tenzo said to Li Xiaochen: "Within half an hour, we will each cook two dishes." Everyone present is invited to taste and judge. Whoever gets the most support wins the game. ”

Li Xiaochen looked at the kitchen utensils on the cooking table and the ingredients that had been brought in and placed in the Xianman Building, and said, "It's fair." Let's get started. ”

After Mayor Jiang's timer, the two of them immediately threw themselves into the ingredients on the floor and chose the parts they needed. Hattori Amazo first selected exquisite raw rice, vegetables, seaweed, sea crab and shrimp and other ingredients. Looks like he's going to make Japan's most popular sushi. However, there are many types of sushi and many ways to make it. It is not yet known exactly what he wants to do.

On Li Xiaochen's side, he chose a lot of good Jinhua pork ribs and some seasonings, and began to deal with them. Qin Yichuan saw that the main ingredient he chose was only pork belly, and he couldn't help frowning: "Does this kid want to make dishes like button meat or back pot meat?"

As a housewife who occasionally cooks, Lin Yifei knows a little more than Qin Yichuan and has more right to speak. She looked at Li Xiaochen's unfamiliar posture and couldn't help but say: "He doesn't cook often, and his methods are blunt." If you make the back pot meat, it can barely be done in about half an hour. But if you are doing the meat button, it usually doesn't take enough time. ”

Qin Yufei, who couldn't rest assured of the competition in front of her, quickly got out of bed and quietly came behind her parents to watch the battle. She saw that Li Xiaochen had prepared a casserole, and expected that he would definitely make dishes such as button meat. But this dish takes a lot of time to stew. Only after a long period of stewing will the meat taste good. This will test his cultivation.

Sure enough, after the preliminary processing was completed, Li Xiaochen was putting the marinated meat into the pot and stewing. Usually to make the most wonderful flavor, it is best to simmer it for three hours. But time was pressing, and Li Xiaochen first slapped the flesh with a strong King Kong hand, causing changes in its interior.

This palm is actually very measured. When the force is too strong, the meat will crumble into puree and splash everywhere. The force is small, and the desired effect cannot be achieved.

After thoroughly processing the meat, Li Xiaochen put them in a casserole and stewed them. Then place the casserole on the makeshift stove. But he didn't light the fire with a gas stove. In order to speed up the simmering speed, he slapped a palm in the air, using his true yuan as fuel to bring out the fire attribute of the powerful Vajrapani, giving birth to the true fire of the demon burner.

"It's really wonderful!" Qin Yufei couldn't help but praise out loud: "Mighty Vajra is just to yang." The real fire it produces is different from ordinary flames. It is not difficult to stew this pot of meat in a short time. It's a shame he came up with this solution. ”

While Li Xiaochen was concentrating on stewing meat with Zhenyuan, Hattori Tenzo also picked up the pot and put into it the chicken bones, burdock root, fresh shiitake mushrooms, lovage, carrots, and celery that had been selected and processed later. also used a method similar to Li Xiaochen, and began to use his own true yuan as fuel to make chicken soup on a fire.

Qin Yufei looked at his materials and knew that another dish made by Hattori Tenzo was conger eel chicken bone soup. This Japanese dish is a very common dish and is not difficult to make. But if it is done well, it can reflect a person's cooking skills.

While the chicken broth was being stewed, Hattori Tenzo freed up his other hand, picked up a cutter, and expertly cut the previously wrapped sushi into equal sizes. Its knife work is lightning fast and accurate, which is truly pleasing to the eye.

There is a very important feature of Japanese culture. Japanese people strive for perfection and sublimate their skills into the realm of "art".

For example, in the tea ceremony, the Japanese strive for perfection in every detail. Just by looking at the tea sets they make and produce, you can get a glimpse of it. Their tea sets are not only used to make tea and drink tea, but also as a carved work of art for people to appreciate and collect.

When it comes to cooking, they also strive for perfection and perfection. In Japan, there are many chefs who have been passed down from generation to generation. Generations of culinary skills have been passed down. Children and grandchildren will try to innovate according to their own generation, on the basis of the original recipe passed down by their ancestors, and according to the taste of the public.

If you've seen the Japanese cuisine made by those who have a strong culinary family, you'll appreciate it. From the initial preparation of the ingredients, to the preparation of the sauce, to the pursuit of heat and appearance of the cooking, they are meticulous and strive for perfection as possible. They really treat cooking as an art.

On the other hand, what attitude do we adopt toward life and work? This is the difference between having faith and not having faith.

The most amazing thing is their heritage. The Japanese have this mentality of preserving the treasures that their ancestors have passed down so hard to the present and passing them on from generation to generation. It's a cool idea. For 5,000 years, China has done the same. Passing on the knowledge, experience and culture of the ancients to future generations. Zhang Hengqu, a great Confucian in the Northern Song Dynasty, once said, "For the sake of the saints, continue to learn, and open peace for all generations".

It's just that in modern times, the consciousness and spirit of this inheritance have been diluted a lot with the frequent exchange of the world and the impact of foreign culture. These should be things that we should be proud of, but on the contrary, they have been inherited by the Yamato nation who once studied the culture of China. They have done a better job than us in the preservation of history and civilization.

The above is well reflected in Hattori Tenzo. The seafood sushi he made has indeed reached the ultimate in color, aroma and taste. One glance at it makes you feel appetizing, and you can't help but want to eat them all.

Minutes and seconds passed. In the blink of an eye, Hattori Tenzo was close to finishing his two dishes. He looked up at Li Xiaochen opposite. This guy is still stewing meat with a strong adamantine hand, and he hasn't even finished a single dish. There are less than ten minutes left. Now he's going to lose.

But Hattori Tenzo, for the sake of safety, secretly clasped his index and middle fingers with his thumb, and with full strength, he flicked the casserole that Li Xiaochen had been stewing.

With the experience of Qin Yufei's sneak attack not long ago, Li Xiaochen has been secretly paying attention this time. Sure enough, Hattori Tenzo plotted again in order to win. So Li Xiaochen flicked his hand towards the flying dark energy, and immediately dispersed an invisible force.

Who knew that Li Xiaochen's casserole slammed, but he still didn't escape the other strength hidden by Hattori Tianzo, and it was shattered on the spot. Basically, the stewed meat fell out of the pot and fell to the ground. Li Xiaochen hurriedly picked up a large plate, a flying immortal and a moon, and scooped up the pork belly that was about to fall to the ground.

At this moment, Hattori Tenzo jumped over from his own table and slapped his hand at Li Xiaochen's arm holding the pork belly. Li Xiaochen withdrew his hand, protecting his fruit, and at the same time slapped Hattori Tenzo's stew pot with his other hand. This startled the other party immediately jumped back to the table and moved the pot away so as not to fall short.

"Hmph, there's only a few minutes left. I'll see what you do!" Hattori Tenzo carefully continued to heat the pot with his true element, feeling that he had won the battle.

Li Xiaochen put the pork belly under the stove to prevent Hattori Tenzo from seeing it, and then used the sauce he had prepared to give the meat the final seasoning. This dish is also considered to be basically complete. But it's stipulated that each person should do two courses. What about the other one?

When Hattori Tenzo was secretly proud, Li Xiaochen unhurriedly took out a rice cooker from under the stove. Open it and inside is freshly cooked white rice.

"When did he take the polished rice to cook rice?" Qin Yichuan looked at the big pot of rice in surprise, "You can secretly Chen Cang from under my nose, and your cultivation will grow gradually, this kid." ”

Lin Yifei said: "It seems that he should be planning to make fried rice." There's not much time, so you have to hurry. ”

Li Xiaochen immediately diced the selected carrots and Jinhua ham with the precise swordsmanship of the Imperial Sword Immortal Technique. Then mix the eggs with the rice and stir-fry them in a pot. This dish is also heated by his powerful Vajra hand to bring out the real fire. This also makes it easier to grasp the heat.

When the rice is almost fried, add all the main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients to it and stir-fry together.

"It's time! Just as Li Xiaochen was putting the fried second dish on the plate, Mayor Jiang, who had been staring at the watch, suddenly said.

Li Xiaochen, who was just in time for the last moment, breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Mayor Jiang looked around at everyone and said, "Let me check the deliciousness made by the two of you first." Then Miss Izumo and Qin Yichuan will taste it in person. Finally, let the others try it together. ”
