Gourmet Beast Tamer

"Uncle, who of the two of them do you think cooks more delicious food?"

Outside the kitchen, Fu Guan looked curiously at the closed kitchens on both sides and asked.

"How do I know?" Fu Xing couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I don't know much about their cooking skills, but they shouldn't be too bad, so let them test them together."

"You have to taste it to know exactly how it is." He crossed his arms and leaned against the table, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

"Uncle, can we try it together later?" Fu Guan swallowed and couldn't help but say, "It's already lunch time..."

"Hmph! You kid." Fu Xing glanced at his nephew in a funny way, "If there is any leftover later, you can try it too, but it won't affect my taste."

"That's natural!" Fu Guan was happy when he heard his uncle's permission and nodded quickly.

"By the way, what are you here for today?" Fu Xing asked.

"Ah! I almost forgot." Fu Guan patted his head, and then suddenly remembered that he was here on business this time, "Uncle, there is a Yuling chef who knew who I am from somewhere. Your nephew asked me to deliver a letter to you."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Fu Xing.

"Letter? Why don't you contact me directly?" Fu Xing raised his eyebrows, took the letter, opened it and read it.

After a moment, there was a look of interest on his face, "It's a bit interesting."

"Uncle, what's going on? Can you tell me about it?" Fu Guan asked curiously.

"It's not inconvenient." Fu Xing put the letter aside, "It's a Yuling chef from Danju City next door. After knowing about my Zhenniu Restaurant, he hopes to participate in the next Zhenniu Restaurant beef tasting. During the feast.”

Every year, Fu Xing holds a beef tasting feast at Zhenniu Restaurant and invites Yuling chefs recognized by him to enjoy the highest quality beef.

Counting the time, the next beef tasting feast is about to begin, right after the municipal cooking competition.

"This Yuling Chef named Reike is not a simple person." Fu Xing clicked on the letter with his finger, with an interesting expression on his face, "He won the first prize in the municipal cooking competition in Danju City a month ago. Won the championship and received the Level 2 Food Recommender Badge from Danju City.”

"And he will also participate in the city's municipal cooking competition that will be held in a few days."

"The dragon is crossing the river." Fu Guan clicked his tongue, "It seems he is preparing for the state-level cooking competition."

For state-level cooking competitions above city-level cooking competitions, you need to obtain five second-level food recommender badges to be eligible to participate.

The second-level food recommender is different from the first-level food recommender. There is only one in each city.

There are only two ways to obtain a Level 2 Food Recommender Badge.

First, win the championship in the local municipal cooking competition and directly receive the badge awarded by the local second-level food recommender.

Second, visit local second-level food recommenders.

Level two food recommenders are not as easy to visit as level one food recommenders. Not only do they have a certain threshold to accept the test, but the test is also much more difficult.

Therefore, the overall difficulty of the two methods is similar.

"Not bad." Fu Xing nodded, "Li Yuantu, the second-level food recommender in our city, has set a test threshold of having two second-level food recommender badges. He only has one, which can only be obtained through competitions."

"But in this case..." He rubbed his eyebrows, "This time, it will be even more difficult for our local Yu Ling Chef in Dongxia City to win the municipal cooking competition."

"Uncle, will you invite Lake to the beef tasting feast?" Fu Guan asked.

"There's no rush." ​​Fu Xing said calmly, "Since he will participate in the municipal cooking competition in a few days, as one of the eleven judges, I will naturally see his strength as the champion of the Danju City competition. "

"If he can get my approval, I can invite him when the time comes."

"If you're not qualified, don't even think about it."

Fu Dian nodded.

The letter has been handed over, and his business is over.

Soon, one of the kitchen doors opened.

Accompanied by the rich aroma coming out of the kitchen, Tang Xie walked out step by step with a plate of exquisite-looking delicacies and delivered it to Fu Xing and Fu Guan.

"Mr. Fu Xing, this is the beef baguette I cooked with beef tenderloin. Please try it!" Tang Xie noticed that Qin Lang hadn't come out of the kitchen yet, and his eyes suddenly became a little more proud.

"oh?"

Fu Xing smelled the special baking aroma in the air, then looked down at the delicacy in front of him, which was about the size of two fists and had a lightly burnt coating on the outside, showing a somewhat interested expression.

"I've heard of this cooking method before, but this is the first time I've seen it." He smiled. "The beef is cut into slices on the inside, layered with fruit slices, cheese slices and other ingredients, and the outside is coated with bread. Package it and put it in the oven to bake together?”

"Yes." Tang Xie nodded.

"It's not difficult to make such a dish, but it requires a lot of attention. After all, it's not easy to keep the internal ingredients in perfect condition when you can't observe the inside." Fu Xing made a simple comment, then picked up a table knife and cut it. The whole beef bun is divided into two.

As the outermost layer of bread is cut open, the rich aroma of various ingredients inside bursts out instantly as if being ignited.

Rich beef aroma, various fruit aromas, salty cheese aroma with milky aroma...

These flavors mix together and instantly dissipate in the nearby area.

Fu Guan on the side couldn't help but swallowed.

As expected, the dishes cooked by Yuling Chef are much better than my own cooking skills.

Thinking that he would be able to taste it later, he was already looking forward to it.

Compared to his nephew's unhappiness, Fu Xing's expression remained calm.

He carefully discerned the taste of various ingredients in the air, then picked up his fork and began to slowly taste the delicacy.

The outer layer of the bread is quite crispy when baked in the oven, but the inside of the bread has a unique flavor because it absorbs the fat of the beef inside and the juice from the heated fruits.

The beef inside is well cooked and does not make the originally tender beef taste worse.

The salty cheese that melts under heat and the juice that flows out after the fruit pulp is heated seep into the gaps in the texture of the beef during the grilling process and are fully integrated into it, giving the beef more other flavors.

In addition, the fruit is soft and sweet after being roasted, and the taste is surprisingly good.

Under Tang Xie's nervous gaze, Fu Xing slowly put down his fork after tasting.

“A very delicious dish.”

Finally, he nodded in approval.

After hearing Fu Xing's evaluation, Tang Xie smiled with relief.

At this moment, another kitchen door opened with a "squeak".

This made Tang Xie, who was about to say something, temporarily silence himself and turn his head to look.

Qin Lang walked out step by step with the dinner plate in hand and came to Fu Xing.

He nodded to Tang Xie beside him, and then spoke.

"Beef tenderloin with smooth egg, Mr. Fu Xing, please try it."
