Chapter 471 Qijue Chicken Feet and Boiled Cabbage

Li Li just finished speaking.

Jiang Yang glanced at him in surprise, wondering if he did it on purpose?Still unintentionally, he announced that he had just completed it, and the time was only an instant faster than his own.

Following Li Li, Jiang Yang also declared completion.

When Li Li's dishes were served, the judges gathered around.

Li Li's dishes were not well presented, just chicken feet placed in a pile, only a little green vegetables were placed on the edge for decoration.

It's not very good-looking, but the color is brown and red, and it looks really attractive.

"This smell..." A judge's expression changed.

"Unmistakable, that's it!" said another judge.

The dumb fans between them made the audience puzzled.

"Boy, let me ask you, who are you, Liao Xiezuo?" A judge asked.

No one noticed that Li Li's face suddenly became ugly at this moment.

But in public, it is impossible for him not to answer this question.

After a moment of silence, Li Li replied, "I used to learn art from Mr. Liao."

What he said was not wrong, it was indeed like this in the past, but now he has been expelled from the teacher's school.

Those present, except for some people, didn't notice the problem in Li Li's words.

In the auditorium, Mr. Liao watched all this in silence.He was also one of those invited.

This kid, Li Li, has any talent, but his temperament is not good.

It was a pity for Mr. Liao. He always regarded Li Li as his successor, but his temperament was unstable, so he was always tempering.

I didn't expect... Alas~

Old Liao sighed secretly, and withdrew his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.No matter how optimistic it is, it is already a thing of the past.

Seeing his own dishes reappeared on this stage, Mr. Liao felt mixed feelings.

In the judging booth, the judges' eyes lit up when they heard Li Li's answer.

"So, it really is that dish." A judge said excitedly.

"It seems correct, it should be the Seven Absolute Phoenix Claws." Another judge said.

Li Li glanced at Jiang Yang proudly, you see, I have not tasted this dish, and they are so excited.

Jiang Yang was expressionless, as if he hadn't seen it.

"That's right, this is the Qijue Phoenix Claw!" Li Li said proudly.

"It's true, this time it's a blessing." A judge said.

The reputation of Qijue Phoenix Claw is not obvious, and most people may not know this dish, but as an insider, these judges are very clear.

This dish was made by Liao Xiezuo when he became a culinary master, and it is excellent in all aspects.

It's a pity that Liao Xiezuo didn't cook publicly a few times, but only occasionally in his private restaurant.

This has led to many people hearing it, but not tasting it.

"Let me taste it first, what is the taste of the legendary Qijue Phoenix Claw." A judge said, holding a Phoenix Claw.

"I'll try it too."

"Taste together! Taste together!"

A group of people quickly separated the chicken feet.

Li Li took out another plate with three chicken feet on it, and handed it to Jiang Yang, "Come and taste it! If you lose, you will be convinced!"

Jiang Yang paused, and grabbed one with his hand.

The chicken feet are soft and waxy, as if the bones are soft.Of course, this is an illusion. The bones are still so hard, but the illusion is caused by the meat being too soft.

Soon, one, two, three...seven flavors came out separately, as if it was not a chicken foot that was eaten, but something mixed with seven flavors.

The taste is quite delicious, and it also has the taste of Qijue chicken feet.It can be said that it tastes much better than Jiangyang's homemade three-flavored chicken feet.

These seven flavors are independent of each other, but not confusing.At the same time, the seven flavors are advanced layer by layer, so that the taste of chicken feet gradually reaches its peak.

But... Compared with Liao Lao's cooking, Jiang Yang always felt that the taste was a little bit worse.

But... Jiang Yang couldn't tell what was wrong.It's not that there is no soul in the dish, but other aspects.

Jiang Yang was thinking, but Li Li was faintly proud.

Even if you are a superb cook, you are so shocked by my dishes that you can’t speak.

"This Qijue Phoenix Claw really lives up to its reputation. It is clearly a Phoenix Claw, but it seems to have seven flavors."

"The chicken feet are soft and rotten, which should be the reason why they are soaked after they are marinated."

"After the chicken feet are marinated, I use the remaining temperature to let it fully mature, so that the taste can penetrate into the bone." Li Li explained.

The judges were stunned and praised: "Not bad."

Lin Yong suddenly said: "This dish of Qijue Phoenix Claw has a bit of the style of Lao Liao back then. It seems that Lao Liao thinks highly of you if he can teach this dish to you."

After speaking, Lin Yong took a deep look at Li Li.

How could Li Li fail to recognize the meaning hidden in Lin Yong's words, and how could Li Li not know the president of the Sichuan Chefs Association.

Lin Yong's words made Li Li feel embarrassed, and he clenched his hands unconsciously.

If Liao Xiezuo had taught the recipe of the Qijue Phoenix Claw, he would not be embarrassed and angry when he heard this, but unfortunately...it's not!The way to get the recipe of Qijue Chicken Feet is not glorious.

Of course, in this occasion, it was impossible for Li Li to yell at Lin Yong, so he could only reluctantly respond with a smile.

Lin Yong looked at him with a half-smile and didn't try to expose it.After all, this is Lao Liao's family scandal, and it is not suitable to publicize it.

Li Li lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.Roaring in my heart, you all look down on me!You will regret it!will regret it!

"Then the next step is this boiled cabbage." A judge said.

"This boiled cabbage recipe is a bit of effort, the soup is as clear as boiling water, and the cabbage is fresh and beautiful." A judge said.

"Boiled cabbage is a nostalgic dish." Another judge said.

This dish was all the rage a few decades ago.

When Mr. Jiang was still in his prime, this dish was often presented at various high-end banquets, including several times at state banquets.

However, since Mr. Jiang returned to Rongcheng for retirement, this dish seldom appeared.

For many judges, this dish represents not only a dish, but also a memory of that era.

"I know this Chef Jiangyang. He seems to be Mr. Jiang's apprentice. He also showed his face in Mr. Shen's "Diner" before, and he also cooked boiled cabbage." A judge said.At the same time, he smiled at Shen Peihong.

Jiang Yang shook his head: "I studied with the teacher for a while, but the teacher didn't accept me as an apprentice."

"Oh? That's it!" A judge nodded.

"Okay, let's try it quickly, or it will be cold." A judge said.

Everyone nodded in unison.

Jiang Yang also conjured up a bowl of boiled cabbage and handed it to Li Li, saying, "Try it too."

Li Li glanced at Jiang Yang, couldn't help but snorted, and took the bowl of boiled cabbage without saying a word.

He didn't believe that this dish could compare to his Qijue Chicken Feet!
