Rich Man and Wife Raising Cubs [Rebirth]

The old man Shi Tianhua took the files, bone dismantling knives and chopping knives from the staff, and began to perform decomposing the whole pig.

Shi Tianhua is already seventy years old, but when he picks up the knife, he doesn't look old at all. In his hand, the knife seems to be integrated with his body, very harmonious.Every time he cuts the knife is in place, and every time he disassembles it is just right. After 5 minutes, the whole pig is disassembled.

The most premium meat on pigs is the tenderloin, which has the most tender taste; the buttocks are all lean meat, and the quality is second; although the pork belly is a little worse, it has an excellent taste and fragrance, and it is also the meat that chefs love to use in cooking.

货台上的那只猪看起来有200斤左右,分解后差不多有20斤的里脊肉、5斤臀尖肉、25斤的五花肉。一共50斤的好肉，无论如何都够32名选手分了。

But the program team obviously didn't want the contestants to go too smoothly.

Kaixin watched helplessly as Shi Tianhua cut off 2 tenderloins, 1 rump meat and 3 pork belly, and asked the staff to take away the remaining good meat.

Kaixin: ...

Immediately afterwards, other parts of pork were also divided one by one by Shi Tianhua, leaving only 32 parts of pork with different parts.

Kai Xin looked from a distance, there were no pig blood necks or pig offal on the counter, which was the only kindness left by the program group.

Shi Tianhua wiped his hands with a paper towel, took the lottery cylinder handed over by the staff and began to draw lots.

The first one to be drawn was contestant No. 12, a middle-aged aunt who looked in her 40s, wearing a bright rose red T-shirt and black pants.

Without the slightest hesitation, the aunt simply chose pork belly and lettuce, and returned to her cooking table.

Immediately afterwards, the contestants were called to their numbers one by one, and they went up one by one to choose pork, vegetables and fruits.

When it was the turn of No. 2 contestant Wang Jianzhang, Kaixin saw that he picked the pork loin and a golden mango.

The hostess stopped him and introduced to the camera: "Chef Wang Jianzhang must be known to many people. He also has a food program on Yangcheng TV. I want to ask Chef Wang, what are the two ingredients you choose? What is the intention?"

Kaixin was a little surprised. What kind of dish would you make with tough pork neck and soft mango?

Wang Jianzhang looked directly at the camera with a confident expression: "I want to make curry pork neck, and this mango is my secret magic weapon." After speaking, he left the stage.

"Wow, mango and curry, I'm looking forward to it!" The hostess turned sideways and asked, "Writer Hu has a thorough research on food. Have you thought about how this contestant will combine these two ingredients?"

Hu Huifang smiled into the microphone: "At present, I only think of cooking together or using mango as a sauce, but it's the first time I've heard of the combination of mango and curry, and I'm looking forward to the final product."

The lottery in the lottery was getting less and less, and the pork and fruits and vegetables on the shelf were picked away by the contestants, but Kaixin stood there all the time.

You can eat more rice, but don't talk nonsense.Not only can't you talk nonsense, but you can't even think about it.

For the first time, Kaixin realized this truth with great pain.

When there were only three pieces of pork left on the table, Kai Xin finally heard "Number 8" from Shi Tianhua's mouth.

He ran to the counter, but when he saw the ingredients on the counter, he was worried.

There are only three kinds of pork left, a pair of pig knuckles, a pair of pig feet and four meaty bones.Kaixin looked to the side, only papaya, bitter melon and lemon remained.

Kaixin thought for a while, and chose the tube bone and papaya.Before he was about to step down, he was stopped by the hostess.

"This contestant's name is Kaixin. It's a very meaningful name. Can I ask you why you don't pick pig's knuckles and pig's feet, but pork leg bones?" The hostess smiled and handed the microphone to Kaixin's mouth. side.

The eyes of the four judges and the remaining 31 contestants immediately shifted to Kaixin.

Kai Xin kept calm, smiled and said to the host: "Because I want to make two dishes, I chose the rib bone and papaya."

"Two dishes?" The hostess was a little surprised, but since the competition hadn't officially started, it was inconvenient to continue asking, so she asked Kaixin to go back to the cooking table first.

The next person to be called was contestant No. 7, who was the classically beautiful girl on the left of Kai Xin.

The girl chose trotters and a few yellow lemons, and turned around with a faint smile on her face.

And the last boy chose bitter gourd and pig's feet that matched his expression very well with a sad face, and returned to his seat silently.

Guan Yu cleared his throat, and said into the microphone: "Except for the two ingredients you personally selected, all the other spices and seasonings are not restricted. I am looking forward to the gluttonous feast you will bring."

"Start the timer!" The hostess ordered, and the timer hanging above the guest seats immediately began to count down.

When Kaixin was picking out the ingredients and saw the pork ribs, he immediately thought of the cold meat with bones that grandma used to make.

There is no meat on the ribs, and the price is much cheaper than ribs.When Kaixin was young, the owner of the pork shop knew that Kaixin's grandmother and grandson were living in poverty, so he often gave them two pork ribs.At that time, grandma would make soup with the bones, hoping to give Kai Xin calcium to make him grow taller.

After eating too much broth, I didn't expect Kaixin to be more craving for meat, so grandma thought of a trick, shaving off the bone-side meat from the stewed pork ribs, and making noodles for Kaixin to eat.

The bone-side meat that is stewed soft and not loose, topped with sesame oil fried with shallots, and served with thin soda noodles wrapped in peanut butter, constitutes the best memory of Kaixin's childhood.

So Kaixin decided to choose the rib bone, with the sweet papaya, to make a "bone" and eat two - one is stew, and the other is salad.

Kai Xin quickly washed the four tube bones under running water, then put them into the cold water on the stove, and boiled them over high heat to remove the remaining blood and lymph on the bones.Finally, put the ribs and ginger slices into a pressure cooker and add water to stew.

The soup should be simmered slowly in a casserole, so that the soup will be richer.But the time limit for today's game is 45 minutes, and Kaixin doesn't have that much time, so he can only choose the pressure cooker as the next best thing.

When the soup is stewed in a pressure cooker, the protein and fat in the ingredients will be precipitated quickly due to the high temperature, and the soup will be slightly greasy.

Another ingredient that Kaixin chose, papaya, was able to neutralize the greasyness.

The two papayas provided by the program group were not yet ripe, with a slight cyan color on the surface, and they were relatively hard to pinch.Such papaya cannot be eaten directly, but it is just right for cooking.

Wash and peel the papaya. Kaixin cuts one papaya into pieces and puts it in a pressure cooker to make soup together, and cuts the other into thin shreds for later use.

When Kaixin looked up, he found that some contestants had already brought up the prepared dishes. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and hastily speeded up his movements.

At this moment, a video camera appeared in front of Kai Xin, Kai Xin turned on the usual live broadcast mode unconsciously facing the black hole camera:

"Mash sugar, fish sauce, chilli, garlic, white pepper, mango and white wine vinegar and mix well, and the salad dressing is ready."

He smiled slightly at the camera, and while talking, he used a rolling pin to crush the mixed sauce in the plastic bag, showing slightly raised blue veins on the back of his white and slender hands.

The cameraman pointed his camera at Kaixin's hand sharply and took a picture of this scene.

Thirty minutes have passed, the big bone broth in the pressure cooker has been stewed, Kai Xin releases the air pressure valve, and the scalding and strong heat immediately bursts out upwards.

The bone broth in the pot is rich in fragrance and has a light orange-red color, dotted with small pieces of orange-red papaya in the middle.Next, add a small amount of salt to taste, and the first papaya bone soup is ready.

Kaixin put the taken out bone in ice water to cool, then shaved off the meat on the edge of the bone with a knife.

The bone-in meat and shredded papaya are mixed with the prepared sauce, and the second papaya bone-in salad is completed.

The big screen next to the guest seats captured this scene, Shi Tianhua looked at the two dishes under the close-up camera, nodded and said: "The soup is an old-fashioned soup, and the salad is added with fish sauce and mango, which are popular in Southeast Asian cuisine. Looking forward to the taste of the finished product."

After filling the soup and arranging the plates, Kai Xin raised her hand to signal that she was done.The host, who was always paying attention to the contestants' dynamics, said: "Contestant No. 8 is finished, now invite him to present his dishes to the four guests."

Kai Xin placed the tray on the long black marble table in front of the guest seats, and found that some contestants' works had already been tasted, and they were placed on the edge.

The four guests stared at Kai Xin, and the camera also filmed the reactions of Kai Xin and the guests from the side. Kai Xin broke out in a thin layer of sweat, and put down the tray nervously.

Food critic Hu Huifang pushed her eyes on the bridge of her nose and asked Kaixin, "Contestant No. 8, please tell us about your dishes."

"The ingredients I chose are rib bones and papaya," Kaixin said, placing four bowls of fragrant bone soup at the hands of the four judges, and then placed the plate of salad in the middle of the four of them, "Please The four judges tasted the salad first, followed by the soup."

Shi Tianhua moved his chopsticks first, picked up a chopstick of salad and put it into his mouth, chewing and tasting it slowly.

The crisp and sweet papaya shreds are covered with hot and sour sauce, and the meat around the bone is just right in hardness, not sticky or rotten, and even a little bit of chewing, the strong stimulation instantly opens up all the taste buds in the mouth.

Shi Tianhua couldn't help thinking about it again, and then took a sip of the bowl of light orange clear soup in front of him.

The aroma of papaya is completely melted into the soup, and there is no trace of seasoning modification, only sweet, fresh, warm and fragrant, as if the whole person is appeased, the soup flows down the mouth, along the throat to the stomach, It makes people feel very comfortable.

Shi Tianhua put down the bowl with a satisfied expression: "This salad and soup have completed the appetizer duties before the meal and fully mobilized the appetite of the diners."

Hu Huifang on the side also put down her chopsticks, and said, "I thought you could make big bones with sauce or just make soup. The meat salad with papaya bones surprised me, but it's delicious."

Kai Xin took a deep breath, not daring to let go, and turned to look at the remaining two judges.

Sabina, the chef of the Michelin three-star restaurant, bent her green eyes, and through translation, she also expressed her appreciation for the idea of ​​adding bone-in meat to the salad.

"These two dishes suit my taste." When it was Guan Yu's turn, he had a smile on his face, "To be honest, I really want to eat a few more bites, but my stomach is not big enough."

Kai Xin curled his lips and bowed to the four guest judges.

Hearing the unanimous praise from the four guest judges, Kaixin was slightly relieved, but she didn't hear the final announcement, so she still didn't feel relieved.

When I returned to my cooking table, the 45-minute timer had just ended.Kai Xin watched a famous contestant submit their works up one by one, and then walked down with a look of joy or frustration.

Everyone was very nervous, quietly waiting for the final review results.

After the four guests tasted the dishes of 32 contestants, after discussing at the guest table, they delivered a final result wrapped in a red envelope to the hostess.

"The tense and exciting first round of the competition is officially over. The guests have selected 16 contestants to advance to the next competition based on the theme of 'change'. Now I will announce the list of contestants who have advanced. Congratulations to No. 2 Contestant Wang Jianzhang, how do you feel now?"

The garlic-nosed man Wang Jianzhang took the microphone from the staff and replied triumphantly: "I will definitely continue to win the next game!"

"We also look forward to your next outstanding performance." The hostess said with a smile, "The next one is No. 7 player He Yan, congratulations."

He Yan smiled slightly: "Thank you teachers for your affirmation, I will continue to work hard!"

……

Kai Xin listened to the hostess's names, and never knew that her heartbeat could beat so fast one day, so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat.

The hostess glanced at the promotion list in her hand, looked up and said to the camera with a smile, "Congratulations to No. 8 contestant Kaixin who also made the promotion!"
