Rebirth as a Cooking God

The flour is kneaded with cold water and a small amount of salt. This is a typical dead flour with white color, gluten and strong toughness. It is usually used to make pasta.

In fact, at the scene or in front of the TV, viewers with a little bit of cooking skills can tell by looking at the flour used by Zhu Qing that it is high-gluten flour by distinguishing the colors. Especially when they see Zhu Qing beating eggs when kneading the dough, it increases the protein of the dough. The content is more certain.

Huh!

At this time, Zhu Qing stopped and took out a pair of silver chopsticks from an exquisite leather sheath. She had kneaded the dough with both hands before, and she used her skills skillfully. Just when people were wondering what she was doing with the chopsticks, bang!

The silver chopsticks inserted into the white greasy dough very suddenly. Then, Zhu Qing raised his wrist and shook it. The whole dough flew around in a big circle with the silver chopsticks and landed on the cooking table with a thud.

This is the first spin.

Before the audience could comment, the silver chopsticks shook again, and the dough flew up and fell again...

The cycle went through several times, with Zhu Qing's pretty face smiling and her whole body looking calm. The silver chopsticks in her hand would rotate the dough every two or three seconds.

Xia Yu's face gradually became serious.

The other chefs who saw their skills were also in a strange mood.

This sense of déjà vu...why does it feel like Chef Xia is 'drawing a circle'? A voice fell in the suddenly cold air of the competition hall, attracting a chorus of echoes, and people immediately remembered the familiar scene after being reminded.

Draw a circle!

Xia Yu nodded slightly.

Chef Lin, even if he is not Bai An who specializes in pasta, his attainments in some fields are no less than those of super experts. At least, when Zhu Qing showed his skills a little bit, Xia Yu felt the pressure: It turns out that my aunt can also Draw a circle!

In Chinese Ichiban, the legendary pastry king Luo Gen has a saying: as big and deep a circle as you can draw, you have a deep pastry skills.

Zhu Qing's dough kneading tool is not a pastry stick, but two thin silver chopsticks.

A large ball of noodles was swung around with silver chopsticks.

Wow——

The tight white dough suddenly turned into a white dough. Zhu Qing was in the center of the dough. Her pretty face had a calm smile that she didn't usually have, but the lifeless chopsticks flew like elves in her hands, overlapping and creating vivid afterimages.

Therefore, there are white streamers on the cooking table, rolling back and forth, like a white tornado.

Affected by the noise, Saiba Joichiro, who was cutting lotus root slices and burdock, slowly glanced at the cooking table behind him, and then murmured in an audible voice: It seems that I can't hold back. ah……

He took a frying pan and heated it. The fat was ordinary olive oil. There was nothing worth mentioning. Then he put sliced ​​lotus root and burdock into the pan and fried them until golden and crispy.

Then, Saiba Joichiro took a second pan, but this time, the oil he used to heat the pan was not ordinary fat. The oil was dark yellow in color and had a spicy Sichuan flavor.

This is sesame oil!

I saw him frying strips of turnip and carrot in sesame oil, and there were whispers in the stadium.

The division of labor is very clear! Xia Yu praised.

One makes the soup and the other kneads the dough. It can indeed be called a collaboration... Kaneda Shun's strange words came from behind him, Hey, I said that Chef Xia, you look quite surprised. Could it be that in the past few days, Chef Zhu , You haven’t seen Chef Caibo’s practice? Or, they closed the door and secretly discussed and practiced it without telling you? This is impossible...

Xia Yu's mouth twitched, Because I'm also busy developing my own new dishes, so I don't have time to take care of them.

New dishes?

Kaneda Shun was shocked and looked away from the competition. Obviously, he was more concerned about the so-called new dishes Xia Yu said, Are you skipping the second round and preparing for the finals in advance?

On the side, Tulip and Ishino Harumi pricked up their ears.

Xia Yu just smiled and didn't answer.

Prepare in advance? It has to fit the title, and you should boast about Haikou and set the flag in advance. At this time, you should keep your mouth shut and ask for a wave of strong character.

…

The intensive collaboration between Zhu Qing and Saiba Joichiro is just a microcosm of the scene.

Other participating combinations also had their own outstanding performances.

Kitchen counter No. 2.

Li Han was sweating. There was a small charcoal stove on the table in front of him. He was using a cattail leaf fan, like a boy cooking medicine, carefully controlling the heat. On the stove was a clay pot shaped like a medicine jar. The water was boiling inside, and a ball of white ingredients was in the boiling water. Ups and downs.

Nv Linchu Lan Chuhan put a basket under the faucet and rinsed the white bird's nests that had just been boiled with clean water. After rinsing with clean water three times, the bird's nests were not as hot as when they were freshly taken out of the pot. She drained the water and used them. The white fingers carefully tore apart the soaked bird's nest one by one, tore the lump of ingredients into thin strips, and put them into a large blue and white bowl for later use.

Bird's nest?

Seeing that there was nothing worth studying and learning about the ingredients and cooking procedures, Xia Yu moved his eyes away and looked at cooking table No. 3.

Lin giant Lei Zhe and the female special chef who is suspected of having anesthesia-like gourmet cells are processing a kind of meat that exudes a strong aroma of wine. This is the meat of the Dionysus Dragon. Obviously, the end of the first round was slaughtered on the spot. The pterosaur comes on stage again, but this time, Lei Zhe cooks with meat instead of blood.

In fact, the topic The Greatest Good, Like Water is not very beneficial to the two participating combinations of the Food Club.

After all, Lei Zhe and Disani are both giants of Western cuisine. From a cultural perspective, it is difficult to fully understand the topic of The Greatest Good, Like Water. On the other hand, Chef Shiba Lin pays attention to ingredients and the Ideology is the weakness of this group. It is not impossible to use food tyrants to fit the problem, but it is difficult.

Dionysus Dragon? There are not many Gourmet Club resources for this kind of ingredient. If you don’t have the ingredients, even if you learn the recipe secretly, it will be useless. There is no need to waste your reputation points and activate [Super Vision] to make a copy... Xia Yu's eyes flashed.

My eyes moved back to cooking table No. 4.

Tangshan and Tang Yuqiong are here.

Huh……

Xia Yu was surprised.

On the table, there was a water tank. Tang Yuqiong put on protective gloves, tightened her face and carefully fished out a colorful fish. The fish was only half a meter long, not to mention the skin color was weird, and the scales were also very common. The smoothness of the fish is like a stone, with rugged and uneven shapes. If the camera hadn't taken a close-up and could barely make out the fish's lips, eyes, and the general outline of a face, the audience would have thought it was a stone.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

There were sparks flying around the cooking table where Tang Yuqiong was immersed, causing people to scream.

Is this a stone fish?

Xia Yu was also dumbfounded.

It's not an ordinary stone fish. The ancient stone fish is no less delicious and rare than some golden taboo ingredients! Kaneda Shun said, with the fiery flash in his eyes as the food hunter discovered the treasure.

The female chef is holding the Tang Mandarin Duck Knife that Xia Yu is familiar with. This is a pair of high-quality knives that have been passed down for hundreds of years. They were made by famous craftsmen, Tang Sanjie, the ancestor of the Tang family. It has been passed down from generation to generation only to the younger generation in the direct line. Only those with talent are eligible to hold it. Tang Yuqiong used the Yuanyang knife to slim down the ancient stone fish. The two knives seemed to be swung in a chaotic manner, and stone-like debris suddenly flew out.

After a while, there were exclamations one after another.

The unattractive stone fish has undergone a major transformation. After removing the superfluous things on the body surface, only the most delicate body of the fish is left. Under the lights of the venue, this part of the fish body is flowing with a mysterious luster, like a work of art. asphyxia.

Next came the process of removing the gills and internal organs. Tang Yuqiong's pretty face was sweating. She didn't bother to wipe it off and remove the large keel from the fish body. Then she placed two large pieces of delicate meat on the chopping board and swung her knife like rain!

Boom, boom, boom!

Cut the fish meat into paste with two knives!

Ten minutes later, the surimi was put into the mixing bowl. Tang Yuqiong took the ten-yolk eggs. One egg was equivalent to 4 or 5 ordinary eggs. After breaking the eggs and mixing them into the surimi, she stepped away to find a towel to wipe them with. Khan, the following process is handed over to Lin giant Tangshan. This is a typical relay collaboration model.

Seeing this, Xia Yu looked extremely solemn.

Everyone of them is serious!

Xia Yu couldn't help but sweat over the ramen dishes that Zhu Qing and Saiba Joichiro would present later.

Others are extraordinary in terms of basic ingredients. The so-called skillful woman cannot make a meal without rice. When it comes to the use of ingredients, Xia Yu's philosophy is actually close to that of Western cuisine chefs. Of course, it does not mean that Chinese cuisine chefs do not pay attention to the quality of ingredients, such as Cantonese cuisine. , it pays great attention to the word fresh.

He is already thinking about how to obtain legendary kitchen utensils in the future if he cannot advance to the final sword battle. After all, upgrading the system and unlocking the legendary mall are full of temptations.

But after thinking about it, Xia Yu found that a competition like this was the simplest and crudest way to obtain it.

It’s okay for “Jade Dragon Pot” to live overseas.

If he wants to get the remaining pieces of the eight legendary kitchen utensils in the future, he will definitely challenge the big families and giants who own kitchen utensils. It is not an exaggeration to say that a fight will cost all his wealth.

I hope I can win a spot in the finals! Xia Yu's eyes wandered, and he turned around and returned to cooking table No. 1. At this time, Zhu Qing had covered the dough with a wet cloth, and had about 15 minutes to wait for the dough to rise. Ichiro Nami took out a few pieces of white fermented ingredients, sprinkled them with a bright yellow and sticky sauce, and then coated them with a layer of Taibai powder...

Tembeh!

said a voice from the side. Ishino Harumi pointed out the snacks Saiba Joichiro was handling.

Well, a fermented soybean food originating from Indonesia, in the shape of a white cake, became popular in Indonesia more than 400 years ago. It is considered a regional specialty food. It is rich in protein and can be used as a meat substitute... Kaneda Shun agreed. road.

Is this the favorite food of vegetarians? Tulip asked.

Could it be...

Several people looked at each other in surprise. The word 'vegetarian' was the key. Xia Yu's heart skipped a beat, and they roughly guessed the style of the ramen collaboration between Zhu Qing and Saiba Joichiro——

In all likelihood, it’s vegetarian ramen!

The title is The Greatest Good, Like Water. Although vegetarianism implies a non-stainless, indifferent and natural eating attitude, if you pursue vegetarianism too much, you will be overwhelmed by other combinations of ingredients in terms of ingredients! Xia Yu suddenly felt pessimistic.

no way.

Seeing others showing off the ingredients at the bottom of the box one by one, Xia Yu couldn't be optimistic.
