Dare to cook

Chapter 18 Lu's Disciple
"I am Yao Yu."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a commotion.

Everyone in the culinary circles in Shencheng knew that Yao Yu was also participating.But everyone present did not expect that they would meet him during the audition.

Mu Shaoran was not surprised, but showed an expression of "it really is you".

He smiled and said:
"Let me introduce myself again, I am Mu Shaoran, my master Lu Tao!"

As soon as this remark came out, the others were even more surprised.

It's not surprising to meet Yao Yu at the audition scene, after all, everyone knows that this guy will come.

but.

It will be interesting when Yao Manzi meets Lu Tao's disciples.

Who is Lu Tao?

He is the eighth-ranked chef on the Qilin list and the father of Lu Chenyu.

Therefore, Mu Shaoran is Lu Chenyu's senior brother.

Lu Chenyu is the current jade food leader, and Yao Yu is the former jade food leader.

Ever since the news of Yao Yu's comeback spread, the most discussed topic in the culinary arts circle was, which of these two is the most powerful jade chef in history?

Everyone is looking forward to the duel between Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu.

But although Lu Chenyu and Yao Yu are both in Shencheng, but as the top of the jade food list, she doesn't need to participate in the regional competition.

Unless Yao Yu makes it to the national finals, it will be difficult for everyone to see the battle scene between the old and new generations of Yushi at the top of the list.

But now...

Yao Yu can't meet Lu Chenyu, so it's better to compete with Lu Chenyu's senior brothers first.

Although Mu Shaoran hasn't made the list yet, as Lu Tao's disciple, he must be very strong, right?

All of a sudden, the nearby melon eaters showed excitement.

Some guys who are afraid of chaos in the world almost shouted: "You two hurry up and fight the bayonet".

Hearing this, Yao Yu took a serious look at Mu Shaoran and threw [cooking scouting] over.

Culinary reconnaissance shows that Mu Shaoran's level is lv7 (29869).

This is a very high cooking experience value.

Yao Yu also checked the culinary skills of Chen Li and Yang Rui two days ago. Their levels are lv7 (24763) and lv7 (25316) respectively.

Chen Li is ranked 496th on the Jade Food List, the last one on the list.

Compared with Chen Li, Mu Shaoran's culinary skills are more than 4000 points higher than him.

This shows that although Mu Shaoran is not yet on the list, as long as he makes it to the list, he may directly enter the top [-] of the Jade Food List.

"So, you are Lu Chenyu's junior brother?" Yao Yu looked at Mu Shaoran and said.

Mu Shaoran nodded and said:

"My master said that you will be my senior sister's best opponent. But I think I can ask you for my senior sister's advice first!"

Yao Yu smiled:

"Are you trying to compete with me?"

"Yes."

"But this is an audition, everyone cooks different dishes, how do we compare?"

Mu Shaoran also smiled and slowly took out the ingredients from the bag:

"No, we can compete, because the ingredients I prepared are mandarin fish!"

When everyone saw this scene, they were immediately happy.

Yao Yu's mouth twitched slightly.

Axi, let's hit the ingredients...

Competing for ingredients at the audition scene is more interesting than competing for shirts in the entertainment industry.

Since the ingredients for both of them are the same, if he doesn't take up the challenge again, then others will think that he is afraid of Mu Shaoran?
"What do you want to compare?" Yao Yu asked.

Mu Shaoran said: "As long as the dishes are mainly mandarin fish, it will do."

"Then make squirrel mandarin fish."

As soon as Yao Yu finished speaking, there was an uproar around him.

Squirrel mandarin fish is not only a very difficult dish, but also the special dish of Lu Tao and his apprentices.

Is Yao Manzi so fierce?

Dare to compete with Lu Tao's disciples' signature dishes with Lu Tao's disciples!
Mu Shaoran narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Okay! Then compare this!"

The two made a competition agreement, and the players around were all excited.

Someone took out their mobile phone and prepared to broadcast live.

Some even called their friends and friends, which attracted more onlookers.

All of a sudden, the No. [-] audition area was overcrowded.

Both the judges and the sponsor were alarmed, and more than a dozen security guards were urgently mobilized to evacuate the crowd and maintain order.

Yao Yu and Mu Shaoran didn't care about the surrounding situation.

Now that you have decided to compete, you must go all out.

The two of them were already immersed in the state of culinary duel.

……

The method of squirrel mandarin fish is complicated and complicated, but simple and simple.

There are two main difficulties in the whole cooking process.

One is to cut the fish body with a flower knife, that is, to cut patterns on the fish meat.

This is convenient for cooking and delicious, and the fried mandarin fish will have a "squirrel"-like shape.

Another difficulty is frying.

The heat of deep-frying is very important. If it is fried for a short time, it will not be easy to cook. If it is fried for a long time, the whole fish may be fried and the meat will become old.

Moreover, there is no standard answer for how long a mandarin fish should be fried.

This depends on the size of the mandarin fish and the heat of the oil temperature.

All in all, if you want to make a good dish of squirrel mandarin fish, you must have very rich cooking experience.

The mandarin fish that Yao Yu bought weighed a pound and two taels, and the shape of the fish was also the most suitable for making squirrel mandarin fish.

Originally, he didn't intend to make such a complicated dish.

It's just an audition, just make a steamed mandarin fish and you'll definitely pass it.

But now that he has met Lu Chenyu's junior, he doesn't mind showing off.

The mandarin fish was bought and killed by Yao Yu at the vegetable market, and the gills and scales of the fish were also cleaned up by the fishmonger.

At this time, Yao Yu only needs to rinse the fish body again, then cut off the fish head, slice open the fish meat, and then cut the fish meat with a flower knife with beautiful texture.

Jihuadao is a meticulous job, just like carving, which requires concentration.

Many old chefs have to be careful when doing this step.

Otherwise, the flower knife that comes out is not good-looking, or if you accidentally cut the whole fish, then this dish is tantamount to failure and overturning.

However, these problems are not a problem for Yao Yu.

Yao Yu held the fish intestine knife provided by the system in his hand, turned his wrist flexibly, and "swished" a few times to cut out the perfect flower knife.

That speed was a full minute faster than Mu Shaoran who was beside him.

After cutting the knife, the next step is to marinate the fish meat and fish head.

Marinated mandarin fish mainly use cooking wine and salt.

But Yao Yu showed what is called a god-level operation at this moment.

Salt, cooking wine, pepper, egg white, ginger powder, angelica dahurica, cinnamon, chicken essence, crushed rock sugar, rice wine lees...

It was just pickling a piece of fish, but Yao Yu used seventeen kinds of seasonings all at once!

This operation left the crowd stunned.

At the same time, what was even more shocking was that Yao Yu carried a seasoning box that looked like a small medicine box with him.

That seasoning box was specially made by Yao Yu before.

Can be folded and stretched.

Once the seasoning box is fully unfolded, there will be three rows inside, a total of 48 closed small grids.

Each small grid contains a condiment.

Yao Yu used to take this folding box full of 48 seasonings with him when he participated in competitions everywhere.

So whenever he has a cooking competition, Yao Yu can always use the most seasonings.

"It's just salted fish, do you need so many seasonings?"

"So many seasonings are mixed together, aren't you afraid that the taste will conflict?"

"I have been a squirrel mandarin fish for ten years, and I dare not mess around like him."

"It doesn't have to be random, maybe it's Yao Yu's unique secret recipe. Look at Mu Shaoran, he also added eleven kinds of seasonings when pickling fish."

"So the difference between me and the boss is that I don't use enough seasoning?"

On the side, the people who eat melons are talking about it.
