Dare to cook

Chapter 195 Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles (two chapters in one)

In the main arena, after listening to Shu Wangjing's comments, everyone suddenly understood.

The traditional method of Yusu soup does not add black vinegar or rice vinegar to the base soup.

Because, the base soup of Yusu soup must be fresh and clear enough.

If the boiled soup is not fresh enough, or the color of the soup is not clear enough, then this kind of fish soup is not a qualified fish soup.

When many chefs cook this dish, they rarely think of adding seasonings to the soup that may reduce the freshness of the base soup.

Ling Zhaochi did not make any mistakes in the process of cooking Yusu soup.

On the contrary, he did a good job in every detail.

but.

It's too late.

The characteristic of Yusu soup is that the soup is fresh and delicious.

But it can't be too fresh.

Ling Zhaochi was just following the scriptures, using the recipes he learned from others to the extreme.

But I never thought that the recipe itself might still have minor problems, and I never thought about improving it.

What he didn't expect, Yao Yu thought of.

Therefore, Ling Zhaochi lost.

Sometimes, it is not necessarily the chef's cooking skills that determine the outcome, but also the cooking ideas.

After thinking about this, Ling Zhaochi was a little annoyed.

Originally, he did have a chance to win.

But the result is so.

It can only be said that Ling Zhaochi did not deserve to lose.

After defeating Ling Zhaochi, Yao Yu had only one opponent left.

His eyes turned to the waiting area, and then locked on Wu Zhongliu.

Waiting in the battle zone, Wu Zhongliu slowly got up and walked down.

Yao Yu didn't say who he was going to challenge in the end, but the silent eye contact between the two said everything.

Wu Zhongliu has a typical male model figure, with relatively three-dimensional facial features.

With every gesture, it gives people a very tough and handsome feeling.

Yao Yu watched Wu Zhongliu walk to the field step by step, his eyes were calm.

There seemed to be a misty, sparkling lake in his eyes, and he said to Wu Zhongliu, "I admired you very much."

"Appreciate? I didn't expect the arrogant Yu fanatic to say such a thing." Wu Zhongliu chuckled.

Yao Yu curled his lips and said:

"You are hostile to me? It doesn't matter."

"Anyway, there are eight hundred people in the culinary world who don't like me."

"But you shouldn't dump my junior brother's cooking into the trash can in public during the resurrection match, it's too much."

"Chen Li's cooking is inherently bad. Unpalatable dishes are worthy of being thrown into the trash can!" After hearing this, Wu Zhongliu smiled and provoked, "Yao Yu, are you trying to stand up for him?"

Yao Yu narrowed his eyes.

He wasn't angry either, he just looked at Wu Zhongliu for a while, and suddenly said, "How about we add some prizes to this match?"

"Lottery head? What do you want to bet?" Wu Zhongliu suddenly felt a little cold when he heard this.

For no reason, he thought of the sky-high price dating post.

Shen Linxuan and Ling Zhaochi had provoked Yao Yu on the Wanghai Building at the beginning of the regional competition of the Famous Tournament.

Afterwards, Yao Yu smashed his head into disgrace with a invitation card worth tens of millions, so he had no choice but to pretend to be dead.

If it wasn't for the idiot Hong Shipu who appeared later to attract the firepower for them, I'm afraid the two of them would be sprayed by Yao Yu's fans.

And now, Yao Yu wanted to bet with him in public again.

Then what kind of harsh bet would he propose?

Yao Yu turned his head sideways, pretended to think for two seconds, and said:

"I originally wanted to bet with you that if anyone loses this duel, they will simply forfeit the match and not participate in the subsequent matches."

"But I guess you don't have the guts. And the organizers may not allow it as a bet."

"So, why don't we just bet, if you lose, you will resign from Luming Group and leave, and then come to my restaurant and beat Chen Li for three months."

"what do you think?"

Both Yao Yu and Wu Zhongliu had microphones pinned to their collars.

After he finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar.

Sitting in the auditorium, Chen Shaofeng raised his eyebrows with anger.

Wu Zhongliu is the signature chef of their group company.

At the beginning, Chen Shaofeng also spent a lot of effort in order to recruit this superb culinary second in the Jade Food List to their group.

It can even be said that it is precisely because of the signboard of Wu Zhongliu that Luming Group has become a high-quality unit that many young famous chefs are willing to work for.

Although Yao Yu's move was aimed at Wu Zhongliu.

However, once established facts are established, it will also have a great adverse effect on the reputation of Luming Group.

When Wu Zhongliu heard this, his expression changed instantly.

Yao Yu made this kind of bet clearly to humiliate him.

"Yao Yu, what if you lose?" Wu Zhongliu said angrily.

Yao Yu heard this, and said with a relaxed face:

"If I lose, it's up to you. How about it? Do you dare to bet?"

"I...Okay! I'll just..." Wu Zhongliu was so provoked by Yao Yu that he had to accept the move if he didn't accept it.

Otherwise, if he retreats, he will leave the public with the impression of bullying.

Sometimes celebrity chefs really get tired of being famous.

In the eyes of many chefs who often participate in competitions, losing is not terrible, but fear is terrible.

however.

Just when Wu Zhongliu was about to agree to this emotional battle, the referee who received the order came out and stopped:
"You two, if you want to bet on the famous competition, you will only lose your qualifications. By the way, this is a rule just set by the organizer. I hope you two can abide by it."

The organizer of the famous competition is Huaxia Kitchen Association.

While this series of duels was going on, several leaders of the Kitchen Association were also watching the competition behind the scenes.

When Yao Yu and Wu Zhongliu had a verbal conflict and were about to make a bet, several leaders of the Kitchen Association immediately asked the staff to connect to the headset of the on-site referee, and asked the referee to stop the two.

There are two reasons why the Kitchen Association intervened to prevent them from betting against each other.

First, setting such a bet in the elite competition will have a bad impact on the competition.

Second, Wu Zhongliu is the default main player of this year's national team.

The Kitchen Association is also counting on him to compete in the World Youth Championship and the Alphabet Championship, so naturally Yao Yu can't let Wu Zhongliu get mixed up.

Similarly, Yao Yu is also a great banner among young chefs in Huaxia.

Now that he has returned, the Kitchen Association will definitely reuse him in the future.

Both Yao Yu and Wu Zhongliu represent the future of China's culinary industry.The bigwigs of the Kitchen Association don't want the reputation of any of them to be damaged.

Yao Yu was not surprised when he saw the referee come out to stop him.

He smiled and said:
"Since the organizer has regulations, let's postpone this bet. Of course, Wu Zhongliu, if you are afraid, you can refuse."

"I only have one sentence. Anyone who has an opinion on me, just point it at me. If anyone vents their anger on my junior brother, please weigh the consequences carefully!"

In the spectator seats, Shen Qiuming and his group heard this and joked: "Chen Li, your senior brother really loves you!"

In the game broadcast room.

Mu Songming, the president of the Kitchen Association, who was watching the battle on the big screen, laughed dumbly, and said, "This Yao Yu is really protecting his weaknesses."

Guan Shanyuan and Sun Chengfan of the Famous Chefs Club are also here.

Guan Shanyuan held a cup of tea and said:

"Yao Yu is a very capable person. After the famous contest is over, he will probably agree to serve as the assistant coach of the second team of Qingchu, and he will also go to the World Youth Championship with Lu Chenyu."

"But in advance, we cannot tolerate Shen Gongpei."

The people in the broadcast room at the moment are all the core members of the Kitchen Association, so Mu Songming and Guan Shanyuan don't have to worry about talking.

He knocked on the table and said:
"Have you collected all the evidence about Shen Gongpei's various violations?"

Guan Shanyuan said:

"Most of them have been collected. We have the evidence that Shen Gongpei once bribed technicians to steal the kitchen association's database, but there are still some things that are still under investigation."

Mu Songming nodded and said to Sun Chengfan:
"Old Sun, although our Kitchen Association does not have any secrets that are very important to the development of the country. But those data files that were stolen and lost because of Shen Gongpei, we still have to try our best to recover them."

"It just so happens that Shen Gongpei also intends to marry you. You might as well get in touch with him more and stabilize him first."

Sun Chengfan smiled bitterly and said:

"You want to beat Shen Gongpei, why drag me?"

"As far as I know, Shen Gongpei has no other evil intentions. He just likes to collect cookbooks everywhere, and then wants to pave the way for his son so that Shen Linxuan can develop more smoothly in the kitchen association in the future."

Guan Shanyuan shook his head and said:

"If he wants to find an important position in the Culinary Association through legitimate means, no one will obstruct him according to his own ability."

"But look at what Shen Gongpei has done over the years, oppressing the juniors, buying the staff of the Kitchen Association, stealing the database of the Kitchen Association, disregarding the overall situation, and hindering the fairness of the competition."

"One pile, one piece, it doesn't look like something a serious chef would do!"

"If the culinary association's right to speak falls into the hands of such people in the future, then the culinary association will not be left in a mess."

"If you make a mistake, you should be punished. Black sheep like Shen Gongpei must be cleaned out of the Kitchen Association!"

"Then what about Shen Linxuan?" Sun Chengfan asked.

Mu Songming thought for a while and said:
"Shen Linxuan may not have participated in all the things that Shen Gongpei did. Let's give young people a chance."

"If Shen Linxuan makes another mistake in the future, he will deal with it according to the rules."

……

On the field, when the fate of Shen Gongpei was decided among the leaders of the kitchen association, Yao Yu and Wu Zhongliu also began to select ingredients and prepare for cooking.

In order to prevent Yao Yu from making any mistakes again, the referee selected the questions very quickly this time.

In the last duel, the two of them got the contest question - crossing the bridge rice noodles!
Oh Huo, a classic snack in Nanyun Province and the soul dish in Yunnan cuisine.

At the same time, this is also a dish that Wu Zhongliu is very good at making.

In this game, the organizer did not prepare ready-made noodles and vermicelli for them.

So to make bridge rice noodles, they have to make rice noodles first.

The kitchen utensils prepared by the staff are very complete.

After learning that the two had won the bridge rice noodle draw, someone immediately brought in two noodle machines.

The flour machine is a machine for making noodles and vermicelli by yourself.

Many time-honored rice noodle shops and noodle restaurants, in order to ensure the quality of rice noodles and noodles, will equip themselves with this kind of equipment, and entertain guests with their own rice noodles and miscellaneous grains.

Yao Yu has also learned it specially, so he will naturally use this kind of machine.

The preparation of rice noodles is actually not complicated.

First, choose clean rice and put it into a cooking machine to make powdered rice.

Then the powdered rice and starch are mixed in proportion, then poured into cold water and stirred evenly.

This step is not much different from ordinary chefs making noodles.

Many manufacturers often add various food additives such as gel sheets, edible waxes, and emulsifiers in this step when making rice noodles.

Those food additives serve two purposes.

First, anticorrosion.

Second, improve the appearance of rice noodles, making rice noodles look more solid, smooth and bright.

Even some unscrupulous manufacturers are mercenary and will add alum in the process of making rice noodles.

Alum is an inexpensive aluminum additive that cannot be eliminated once ingested.

Frequent consumption of foods added with alum can seriously damage people's intelligence, seriously affect the physical and mental development of children, and also make the elderly susceptible to Alzheimer's disease.

In the past, there was no strict regulation and recognition of food additives in China.

Alum was once widely used in the production of steamed buns, vermicelli, and fried dough sticks.

Especially the fried fritters.

In the past, street vendors had to use alum if they wanted to fry the fritters golden and crispy.

Although later, the country has strictly prohibited the addition of alum in the food production process, there are still many hawkers and small manufacturers who ignore the relevant laws and regulations and add it secretly.

Therefore, everyone must pay attention to carefully distinguish when choosing rice noodles, especially when the noodles are dry.

Generally speaking, rice noodles with strong elasticity and strong toughness, such as QQ noodles, will add a large amount of coagulating additives.

Even if there is no alum in it, there must be more additives than other powders.Eating too much is not good for your body.

The vermicelli with alum added is much cheaper than similar rice noodles, and the color is usually very bright and white.

Even if it is soaked in hot water, it will not soften significantly within five to six minutes.

On the contrary, rice noodles and dry noodles without any additives are brittle and not resistant to cooking.

Pure natural homemade rice noodles, once boiled in hot water for more than three to four minutes, it will completely melt.

Therefore, if consumers find that the rice noodles they bought cannot be boiled for nearly 10 minutes, then it is recommended to dump this kind of rice noodles directly into the trash can.

However, sweet potato vermicelli is another matter.That kind of vermicelli is quite different from rice-based rice noodles.

But even if it is sweet potato vermicelli, after soaking in cold water in advance, it does not need to be cooked for so long.

The rice noodles that Yao Yu and Wu Zhongliu make are all freshly made and used. There is no need to consider the shelf life of the rice noodles, and naturally they will not add any additives.

The kneaded dough is stuffed into the flour machine, and then the relevant functions of the flour machine are activated, and the dough can be pressed into rice noodles and discharged from the outlet.

Freshly squeezed rice noodles are warm.

A stainless steel basin must be prepared at the outlet of the dough machine in advance, and cold water must be poured into the basin.

In this way, the freshly baked rice noodles can just be dropped into the cold water to cool down.

The vermicelli just out of the oven needs to be washed in cold water two to three times until the rice noodles are rinsed and can be rolled into a ball, which can be stored in the refrigerator at low temperature.

Because what they are going to make is Guoqiao rice noodles, when Yao Yu and Wu Zhongliu are making rice noodles, they both choose to make the noodles as thin as possible.

After the vermicelli was ready, the two began to process other ingredients.

The ingredients of the side dishes of Guoqiao rice noodles are ever-changing, but there are basically two main flavors, one is sour and fresh, and the other is spicy.

Yao Yu felt that it would be boring to bully people with secret red oil all the time.

So this time, he doesn't plan to make spicy rice noodles.
