Rich Man and Wife Raising Cubs [Rebirth]

The two seats on the far right of the long white table are still vacant, and the two mysterious guests have not yet appeared.

The actor Guan Yu sat in the fourth seat. He was wearing a dark brown satin shirt, and he was smiling leisurely with his chin in one hand. That smile showed a poised indifference, as if everything was under his control.

Under control?

A light but misty thread suddenly appeared in Kaixin's mind, and he tried to grab it...

I got it!

Kaixin's eyes lit up: "Master Chef" was filmed by Hongyi's agency. Guan Yu is the big boss behind Hongyi. If he wants to make the show more interesting, who should he invite?

It must be a star in the entertainment circle, and nine out of ten are artists under Hongyi's banner.

When Kaixin investigated Hongyi's agency, he also conducted a corresponding investigation on Hongyi's artists.It is said that these artists have extremely high self-management ability, regular skin care, fitness, and healthy diet. There is even a female artist who can insist on eating only boiled vegetables and meat for several years to maintain her weight.

Under this long-term light eating habit, their requirements for food will be different from those of normal people: they cannot accept too greasy and heavy-tasting food, otherwise the stomach will be unbearable; at the same time, they must strictly control the intake of sugar and avoid Cause rebound and skin aging.

Kaixin's eyes swept over Shi Tianhua, Hu Huifang and Sabina again.

Shi Tianhua likes to taste the original taste of food, which coincides with the concept of healthy eating; as for Hu Huifang and Sabina's requirements for crispy texture and desserts...

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Kai Xin's mouth.He already thought of how to solve it.

The four groups of contestants put on red, yellow, blue and green chef uniforms of different colors, and entered the back kitchen together to start recording.

Morris Hill Restaurant can accommodate more than 800 people at the same time, and there are two 200-square-meter kitchens in the back kitchen of the restaurant.In order to facilitate the recording of programs by the program group, the restaurant separated the middle of the two kitchens with a partition in advance, dividing a total of four independent areas, which is convenient for the four groups to operate independently.

Kai Xin and the other three members of the fourth group entered the No. [-] kitchen wearing green chef uniforms and white chef hats.

"Hi everyone, my name is Kai Xin, and I am contestant No. 8." Kai Xin introduced himself first.

He Yan, the classic beauty, Zhang Lan, the fluorescent-colored aunt, and Wen Yifei, the male model, also introduced themselves.

On the digital countdown timer above the four people's heads, the bright red numbers were beating, indicating that the time was decreasing by one minute and one second.The ingredients they selected were packed in a red trolley, which is common in supermarkets, and placed next to the cooking table.

"What are we going to do? It takes two hours to make lunch for six people. The time is too fast!" Zhang Lan kept staring at the countdown timer, her tone anxious.

"Don't worry, let's talk about your thoughts first, let's confirm the menu before we start." Kai Xin watched the other three people, "Sister Zhang, please talk first."

Two big brothers carrying black cameras have been following the four of them. At this time, one of them pointed the camera at Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan didn't hesitate at all, and said heartily: "The chicken and mushrooms are stewed together. It tastes so fresh. I want to use this as our soup; I originally wanted to make pumpkin pie with pumpkin, but I found that you didn't have any." Take flour, glutinous rice flour, I don’t know what to do now.”

The tall and thin male model Wen Yifei stood beside the three of them like a bamboo pole.He seemed a little dazed, and he spoke very simply: "I chose basic ingredients, fried steak with roasted potatoes, and roasted asparagus."

He Yan tied her shoulder-length hair into a high ponytail, looking very capable. She spoke unexpectedly concisely: "Shrimp is delicious, and if you make salt-baked shrimp, you can use coarse salt to bring out the sweetness of the shrimp itself; Cantaloupe and whipped cream can be made into cantaloupe panna cotta, which is refreshing and refreshing.”

Cantaloupe panna cotta?Sounds like it will taste great.Kai Xin raised her eyebrows, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in her heart.

Kaixin explained his judgment on the guest's request, hiding the part where he guessed the identities of the other two guests: "I suggest that the taste of the dishes should be light and delicious, and avoid deep-frying and stir-frying, which would require adding a lot of food. of fat."

The male model Wen Yifei suggested: "Let's focus on Western dishes, and serve them in the order of appetizer, soup, main course, and dessert."

He Yan said, "It's not necessary to limit yourself to Chinese food or Western food. I suggest that each dish should have its own characteristics, and there should be layers in the taste of several dishes."

The opinions of the four people did not conflict, so the five dishes of fried steak with baked potatoes, asparagus, chicken and mushroom soup, salt-baked shrimp and cantaloupe panna cotta were decided first.

Kaixin took the pen and paper provided by the program team to make notes, and then said: "The two requirements of delicious ingredients and desserts are met; avoid spices in the dishes, and everyone pays attention to picking out spices when cooking. Arriving. Now it’s the crispiness, which is a bit tricky.”

Kaixin originally wanted to crush the biscuits as a fried batter, which can be fried with shrimp tempura, mushroom tempura, etc.But after he finished taking the ingredients, he immediately gave up this idea when he thought of the possible celebrity guests.

Although the taste of tempura with sauce is very good, once it cools down, the oily smell will be very strong, which may arouse the disgust of diners.

Wen Yifei suddenly said: "We still need a vegetable salad, we can put the biscuits into the salad as a crisp."

He Yan hesitated: "I always feel that this method is not perfect...do you have any other ideas?"

Zhang Lan shook her head and said, "It's too far-fetched, and the taste may not be good."

Wen Yifei curled his lips and didn't speak again.

Kaixin thought hard for a while but couldn't come up with it, and the time was passing by, so he had no choice but to say: "We won't be able to think of it for a while, so let's make fresh shrimp, tomato and onion salad tentatively, and use biscuits as a salad." Crisp texture. If I have a better idea later, I will replace it."

All four agreed, and Kaixin wrote down the dish on paper.

In the lobby of the restaurant, the four judges were looking at the screen divided into four grids on the big screen, and began to comment one by one.

Hu Huifang said: "At present, only the players in the first group have started to move, and the other three groups are still discussing."

The first group of contestants in the upper left corner of the screen has already begun to skillfully divide the work and process the ingredients.A team leader, Wang Jianzhang, was talking about something with a serious expression, looking very poised.The other three chefs continued to work while listening.

Shi Tianhua nodded: "In the first group, there are three contestants who are all professional chefs. The chefs have rich experience in preparing dishes. As expected, they left the other three groups behind. The leadership ability of No. 2 contestant Wang Jianzhang is very good. I am looking forward to it." A set of dishes."

Sabina pointed to the upper right corner of the screen. The yellow players in the second group seemed to be arguing. The female pastor leader was holding the hands of two players, a man and a woman, talking kindly.

Sabina kept shaking her head, and her green eyes were full of disapproval: "The second group of players should stop doing teambuilding! 2 hours is very precious, and you also chose tendons, which are difficult to cook. Cherish your time."

Seeing the fourth group of contestants in the lower right corner of the screen suddenly stop moving, Guan Yu said to the hostess, "Let's take a look at the fourth group of contestants. They seem to have encountered a problem."

The picture on the screen cuts to Kitchen No. [-], and the camera is aimed at Zhang Lan. She is pointing at the big fat orange pumpkin in the trolley and asking the other three people: "The pumpkin is not used yet! The ingredients we picked are useless, we will Wouldn't it be judged that the task was not completed?"

Beside the long white table in the restaurant on the top of the mountain, the hostess nodded helplessly: "Although the fourth group can't hear what I'm saying now, I still want to tell you that you must use all the ingredients you selected! Otherwise, it will be considered a foul and will be It will affect the final score of the group."

On the big screen beside her, four contestants in green chef uniforms are still discussing:

He Yan frowned: "The pumpkin will be soft and rotten once cooked, and it can't be matched with other dishes, and it will ruin the presentation and taste."

Zhang Lan put her hips on her hips and let out a long sigh: "Pumpkin must be paired with starch. I would have chosen glutinous rice flour instead of mushrooms if I had known."

Wen Yifei let out two gasps from his nostrils: "What's the use of talking about it now? Why don't we just use pumpkins as decorations, so it can be counted as useful?"

Kaixin in the kitchen and Shi Tianhua behind the guest seats in the restaurant said at the same time: "No."

Shi Tianhua looked at the screen with a displeased expression on his face: "Arranging the dishes only uses the shape and color of the ingredients, but fails to bring out the 'taste' of the ingredients themselves. This cannot be regarded as successful cooking."

Wen Yifei's expression froze for a moment, and then he turned his face away to avoid being shot by the camera lens.

Kaixin on the screen shook his head and said: "If you choose it, you have to use it. There must be a way. If the pumpkin can't be shaped, then find something that can make it shape..."

As he spoke, he observed the ingredients in the trolley, and then moved his gaze to the cooking table area.

Suddenly, he saw the seasoning area on the cooking table, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on the delicate and handsome doll's face: "I thought of it!"

"Use cornstarch! That's cornstarch, mix it with pumpkin puree and you'll be able to shape it!" Kai Xin clenched her fists excitedly.

He Yan was taken aback for a moment, and her expression immediately became clear: "Yes, I thought of it too! Make pumpkin milk squares, and pair it with cantaloupe panna cotta for dessert! Leave this to me!"

Guan Yu looked at the screen, raised his eyebrows, and said with a half-smile, "The problem was solved so quickly? I'm starting to look forward to the performance of the fourth group."

Hu Huifang pushed the rimless glasses, and while recording in the notebook in front of her, she nodded and said: "I think the creativity and adaptability of the fourth group of contestants are very strong, I don't know what kind of dishes they will show us. "

In the No. [-] kitchen, after solving the difficult problem, the four immediately started cooking according to the division of labor.

There are four groups of contestants, and each group of contestants will prepare at least five dishes, and there will be more than 20 dishes for guests to taste.

Therefore, it is necessary to finish the cooking just before the last moment, so as to reduce the time for the dishes to be placed as much as possible, so as not to affect the final taste.

Zhang Lan's knife skills are the best, and the handling of ingredients such as hearty beef and chicken is left to her.Pumpkin cubes and cantaloupe panna cotta are both desserts that need to be frozen, so He Yan started making desserts first.

Zhang Lan removed the excess fat from the belly steak, cut it into thick slices with almost the same thickness, and handed it to Wen Yifei to fry.

Kaixin started to process the rest of the ingredients, boiled fresh shrimps in a pot with water boiled with green onion and ginger, and then put them in ice cubes to dry; washed the small tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, asparagus and other vegetables one by one net.

There are not a lot of ingredients for six people, and it takes a lot of time to process the ingredients.Fortunately, Kaixin has the experience of handling a large amount of ingredients in the back kitchen, so the movements of his hands are very quick.While quickly rinsing the dishes, he carefully observed the operations of the other three.

He Yan peeled the pumpkin and squeezed it into a paste, mixed it with water and a small amount of sugar, boiled it on the pot, then added the water made from cornstarch, and kept stirring while boiling over low heat, stirring up the orange color from time to time. Confirm the consistency with a paste-like paste, and it looks like everything is going well;

Zhang Lan is removing the chicken skin and chicken oil from the whole chicken to avoid too much fat in the soup and affect the taste.She deftly scratched the chicken with a knife. The chicken skin was very tough, but she cut it off easily, revealing the chicken underneath without any traces.

Kai Xin looked at the white and tender chicken skin, and suddenly thought of an idea.

Although adding crisp biscuits to the salad meets Hu Huifang's requirements, the crispness has become a supporting role after all, which may not satisfy her.

The removed chicken skin can be made into chicken skin skewers, and the chicken oil in the chicken skin is fried out. The chicken skin is crispy and crispy, full of collagen, and full of salty fragrance after one bite...

"Sister Zhang," Kaixin quickly stopped Zhang Lan, and said with a smile, "Don't throw away the chicken skin, I'll make a skewer later."

Zhang Lan made an "OK" gesture angrily, washed the chicken skin and put it into another bowl.

Kaixin went to see Wen Yifei's handling of the steak.After Wen Yifei put a piece of steak in the frying pan, a lot of white smoke came out of the pan, and he didn't move for a long time.

Kaixin hastily put down the vegetables she was washing, turned off the tap, and walked to his side.

The steak and butter in the pan emitted white smoke after being heated, and the smell was a little pungent. Kai Xin avoided the frying pan, covered her mouth and coughed, and asked him, "How are you going to fry it?"

"Turn over after 2 minutes and fry the other side." Wen Yifei said while looking at the timer set aside.

"This won't work, the turning is too slow, the temperature of the meat will be uneven, and it will be stale in the mouth." Kai Xin shook his head.

Wen Yifei said stubbornly: "I always fry it like that before, so as to lock in the gravy." While speaking, he still didn't turn the beef over.

He Yan, who was on the side, came over, looked at the blood-red steak on the top of the pot, and shook her head with a solemn expression: "This way the heat is not even, and the surface of the beef below is overly charred, resulting in a bitter taste."

Wen Yifei's expression was not very good-looking, he glanced at the camera lens close at hand, and said coldly: "Isn't I in charge of this dish? You have your method, I have my method, and I guarantee that the dish can be cooked in the end." Is it all right?"

Although Wen Yifei spoke politely, his tone was full of discord.

Zhang Lan also came over just now, and after hearing what Wen Yifei said, she couldn't help but groaned, and said, "Young man, although I don't know how to fry steak, both of them said that there is something wrong with your frying, you shouldn't listen Do you hear it?"

Wen Yifei got angry, and turned off the fire on the stove with a "snap", and asked with his arms folded, "Then what do you think we're going to do?"

He was very upset. Since the moment he came in, Kai Xin and He Yan had been stealing the limelight. He didn't expect that they would also come over to point fingers when he came to fry the steak now.

Although this is a group competition, it is still those who perform outstandingly that will be noticed by the judges.Now it's just the two of them performing, and the judges won't notice me at all later.

His facial features were originally relatively distant, with phoenix eyes, thin lips, and sharp chin; at this moment, his face was cold and expressionless, more like he was angry.

"We are a team, and every dish is the joint result of four people," Kaixin raised his face and looked directly at him, not weakening his momentum because of the height difference, "Other groups are no worse than us, if If we can't play to everyone's strengths and everyone can do what they want, then we will all lose this game."

The kitchen fell into silence, only the ventilator on the wall was still turning desperately, making a "whoosh" sound.

Wen Yifei spoke, but his voice was full of anger: "Okay, then how do you say you want to fry it?"

"Fry each side for 15 seconds and change the side, including the sides. After the outer layer is fried, tilt the pan and continuously pour butter on the surface of the beef to ensure that the temperature in every place is even." Xin taught Wen Yifei the method she learned from Gu Yao.

Wen Yifei didn't say anything, turned on the stove again, and fried the beef according to the method Kaixin said.He Yan went back to make pumpkin recipes first, Kai Xin still didn't leave, watching Wen Yifei's movements.

After confirming that there were not many problems with Wen Yifei's technique, Kai Xin reminded him again: "Fry until half-cooked and use a probe to check the temperature of the inner layer, then put the meat in the oven and turn on the heat lamp to wake up the meat."

Wen Yifei let out a "hmm" through his nose, indicating that he heard it, and continued with the movement without raising his head.

Kai Xin returned to the cooking table, washed the remaining vegetables, and handed them over to Zhang Lan for processing, while she began to clean the chicken skin, cut the chicken skin into small pieces, and marinated it with a little salt and pepper.

Wen Yifei was putting a piece of steak into the oven beside him, glanced at Kaixin's movements, frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
