Food starts with noodles

Xu Zhuo raised his hand high: "Don't touch my hand, I just killed the fish and haven't had time to wash it yet, take out two of your wet tissues, I'm wiping my hands and talking."

Cut peppers in the morning without washing hands, and slaughter mandarin fish in the afternoon without washing hands.

Guo Shanshan stood aside and sneered: "Have you taken a fancy to Coco's wet wipes?"

"No, there aren't many water pipes inside, and everyone is queuing up there to wash. I was anxious to see Keke, so I didn't wait inside..."

After all, he came here to relax with his girlfriend, so Xu Zhuo naturally wouldn't waste his time on other things.

This made Yu Keke very satisfied, not only quickly took out the tissue, but also took the initiative to wipe Xu Zhuo's hands.

"You two might as well go and do it in my car, I've had enough of this kind of crookedness."

Guo Shanshan was very dissatisfied with the two of them.

Showing affection in front of single dogs is not moral at all.

"Your car is too small to use it."

Yu Keke didn't take Guo Shanshan's ridicule seriously, and even refuted it with great interest.

But after all, she was outside, and she was relatively thin-skinned, so she talked to Guo Shanshan and changed the topic elsewhere.

"What's the subject of tomorrow's competition? It won't be difficult, right?"

Just now Yu Peiyong asked Xu Zhuo about the game several times.

Especially when he learned that the competition was marinating stinky mandarin fish, he kept regretting that he hadn't told Xu Zhuo about Anhui cuisine before.

Yu Keke became nervous when he took the lead.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhuo did it quickly and quickly, which made Yu Keke very happy. After telling Yu Peiyong, Yu Peiyong repeatedly praised Xu Zhuo's talent.

Now, Yu Keke is a little worried about the content of tomorrow's game.

If the group can't get out, I guess the grandpas won't be too happy.

Although everyone said that they were indifferent to fame and wealth, they still hoped that Xu Zhuo could enter the finals.

"It's too easy to know what's going on in tomorrow's game. Just walk around, follow me, and you can find out after a little inquiring."

The little sister Guo Shanshan showed her true qualities as a younger sister, and slipped into the backcourt.

The backcourt is the area for preparing ingredients and staff activities.

After the three of them entered, they found that everyone was busy.

Guo Shanshan, the waiter of Wangyuelou who helped out here, leaned over and asked them what ingredients they would use tomorrow.

But what is disappointing is that these waiters don't know what ingredients to use tomorrow.

While talking, they washed the white radish on the ground with a high-pressure water gun.

Guo Shanshan punched back with a disappointed face: "I don't know anything, I'm really disappointed."

Xu Zhuo pointed to the white radish they were washing, and said with a smile: "Isn't there an answer? Although I don't know whether to use it in the morning or afternoon, there will definitely be white radish tomorrow."

Since it was a white radish, Xu Zhuo did not panic.

Although he doesn't have the skills to make white radish dishes, he is good at knives.

Most of the dishes related to white radish are related to knife skills.

To test the apprentice's skills, he would never make a radish dish similar to peony jelly dishes.

Therefore, Xu Zhuo didn't panic at all.

The three of them had nothing to do, they drove to the scenic spots in the nearby mountains until dark, and then came back, met Meng Liwei and Zhou Wen, and went to Huishang Hotel for a buffet.

It's not that a few people want to eat, but Guo Shanshan is curious about Meng Liwei's appetite.

In addition, the buffet at Huishang Hotel is also good, and a few people plan to experience it.

After eating the buffet, we strolled around to digest food, and then went back separately.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Xu Zhuo showed up at the competition venue on time.

This morning is the group knockout round.

Each group will eliminate two people.

The remaining five players will compete in the top [-] in the afternoon.

The first place in the group will directly qualify for the top [-], while the remaining four people in the group will fight with the rest of the other groups to compete for the remaining ten seats in the top [-].

Still have to work hard to win the top spot in the group.

This saves one round of the game.

Xu Zhuo came to the arena and found that today has changed.

The original [-] tables and cutting boards have disappeared, replaced by [-] tables with [-] temporary stoves.

He looked at it, and it should be prepared for this morning's knockout match.

There are seven people in each group, and each person has a table with a cutting board. In addition, each group has two communal stoves.

After reading these, Xu Zhuo already understood.

This morning's ingredients are most likely to be shredded radish in cold salad, because only making cold salad will not rely so much on the stove.

Sure enough, after everyone entered the arena, each person was handed out a white radish.

There is also a topic given by the main judges: cold shredded radish.

Among the eight major cuisines, Anhui cuisine should be the least good at making cold dishes.

Because in the history of Huizhou, people either ate dishes such as steamed and braised stew, or they ate all kinds of moldy vegetables and pickles. Cold dishes have very little presence in Huizhou cuisine.

But no matter how low the presence is, there are still home-cooked dishes like shredded radish in cold salad.

After distributing the white radish, the staff sent everyone a seasoning box and a small dish of ready-made chili oil.

On the side shelf, there are also various side dishes that can be selected.

Such as washed coriander, chives, green peppers and so on.

Probably to make up the numbers, Xu Zhuo even found a large bowl of peanuts among these optional side dishes.

After all the ingredients were put away, the chief judge announced the competition rules.

The game time is 10 minutes. After the countdown is over, those who have not finished are deemed to have given up.

Game start!

Chapter 683 Shredded Radish Salad

How can this be done?

Xu Zhuo is not afraid of making cold radish shreds, it's just a routine method, which doesn't seem to reflect his advantage of being good at knife skills and good at arranging dishes.

So, after much deliberation, he planned to play tricks.

After making a decision, Xu Zhuo went to the optional shelf, first picked out a few stalks of relatively tender coriander, then grabbed a few cloves of garlic, and finally used a plate to put a small dish of peanuts.

This……

When the others saw Xu Zhuo choose peanuts, they all laughed.

I don't know where it came from, but peanuts are used to make shredded radish salad, and they are still raw.

Are you ready to give up?

After Xu Zhuo heard the laughter, he didn't say much. He went to the stove, washed the peanuts in hot water, and then poured oil into the pot to start frying the peanuts.

His step made Guo Shuying on the rostrum a little curious.

The topic is shredded radish in cold salad. This kid doesn't use his brain to make shredded radish. Why did he start frying peanuts?

He doesn't understand very well.

Not only did he not understand, even Yu Keke and Guo Shanshan outside the venue, as well as the old people watching the live broadcast, were also a little puzzled.

Yu Peiyong even sent a message to the old man: "Xiao Zhuo made shredded radish salad, how did you fry peanuts? You taught him this too?"

Yesterday, Guo Shuying formally apologized to Xu Jimin in that consultant group.

He really didn't expect that Xu Jimin could even pickle stinky mandarin fish, and he was so authentic that he changed jobs more than ordinary Anhui cuisine masters.

The old man does know how to cook stinky mandarin fish, but he never taught Xu Zhuo.

But there are so many old men in the group, if he didn't admit it, it would be like not giving Guo Shuying face, so the old man took the credit in a daze.

It made Yu Peiyong and the others think it was real.

So seeing Xu Zhuo fried peanuts today, they thought it was the old man's idea.

"I never taught him how to make shredded radishes. What does this kid do instead of chopping radishes and frying peanuts? It's really worrying."

The old man was also watching the live broadcast, and was a little puzzled by Xu Zhuo's behavior.

But in the face of Pei Yong's questioning, he naturally wouldn't say these things.

Instead, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Wait, Xiao Zhuo will disappoint you?"

After the news was sent, the old man continued to watch the live broadcast nervously.

Well, whether Xu Zhuo can do a good job or not, he is also quite uncertain.

I always looked down on these home-cooked dishes before, but I didn't expect that they would be useful today.

It seems that Xu Zhuo will be taught some home-cooked dishes in the future, lest he really make a fool of himself.

Stir-frying peanuts was not too difficult for Xu Zhuo, and he soon finished frying peanuts.

While putting the peanuts on the plate to cool, Xu Zhuo took the white radish and started to chop the vegetables.

But before cutting, he took another vegetable sink and took half a basin of cold water.

This move made the people around him laugh even more.

They are all washed radishes, and they still bring water.

Is this silly man trying to perform pantomime to make everyone happy?

Xu Zhuo ignored them, but took a kitchen knife, ready to peel the radish.

But when he picked up the kitchen knife, he finally understood why the contestants who cut cucumbers in the first round of the audition yesterday morning were full of annoyance.

Because this kitchen knife is not a slicing knife commonly used in the kitchen.

It is a thick and heavy bone cutter.

Recalling yesterday's audition, Xu Zhuo could see what Guo Shuying and the others were thinking.

Using cucumber as an ingredient in the competition is no stranger to everyone, because at the beginning of learning to cut piers, the subject of practice is to cut cucumbers.

Relatively speaking, there are fewer people practicing knife skills with chili peppers.

So in order to have a balance between the two ingredients, the group who cut cucumbers in the first round cut vegetables with a bone cutter.

No wonder only [-] or so people were selected to cut cucumbers yesterday. It must be that everyone is used to using a slicer knife, and it is very uncomfortable to suddenly use a bone cutter to cut cucumbers.

Modern cooking has made knives increasingly versatile.

It's no longer the era when a good chef could rule the world with a kitchen knife.

But the disadvantage is that the chef is too dependent on the knives, and once the knives are replaced, the original shape will be revealed.

But this kind of disadvantage is completely useless to Boss Xu.

Because he has skills.

Not to mention the bone cutting knife, even if a guillotine is brought to him, he can still use it proficiently.

Hanging force, just do whatever you want.

He was holding a kitchen knife, and saw the chef around him who had just laughed at him, but now he couldn't laugh anymore, and was wrestling with the kitchen knife in his hand.

When I usually use a slicing knife to shred, I don't think it is so difficult.

But once you switch to a thick and heavy bone cutting knife, all the experience accumulated when cutting the pier will disappear.
