The president makes me cook every day

Yu Xiaorong finally brought back the basket of baby octopuses.

Cleaning the octopus requires constant scrubbing to remove mucus, as well as internal organs and ink.Because the assistant ran away temporarily, all of these had to be done by Xiao Rong alone.

It was too late to choose the ingredients. After all the ingredients were cleaned, more than 40 minutes had passed, and the chefs around started to put on the pot one after another. The fast ones were even ready to arrange the plates.

The competition system stipulates that there is only two hours of cooking time, so it seems extremely urgent now.

But Yu Xiaorong had already thought about what he was going to do.

Now he just looked worriedly at the big black dragon knife on his cooking table.

Putting the processed small octopus on the cooking table, Yu Xiaorong held the handle of the knife with both hands, worked hard, and finally lifted the blade a little bit.

"Bang bang!"

Yu Xiaorong's hand was sore and he couldn't hold it steady, and the blade directly hit the cooking table, only two loud bangs were heard, and two marks were smashed on the stainless steel table.

It's too exaggerated!It really is a precious sword!

Yu Xiaorong wiped the sweat from his forehead.

As soon as he tested his strength, he changed his method.Spread all the washed octopuses on the cooking table, press the knife head with one hand, and lift the knife handle with the other hand.

"Chop chop chop chop chop chop!"

The Big Black Dragon Knife was in his hand like a guillotine chopping grass, Yu Xiaorong chanted slogans to cheer himself up, and chopped the octopus over and over again.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

When the sharp blade hits the table, there is the sound of a golden sword.The chefs around stopped involuntarily and looked at Yu Xiaorong.

"Which restaurant sent this chef? Is this an exaggeration?"

"Why does it look like the little anchor of Bodhi Yuzhai two days ago?"

"Bodhi Yuzhai?"

"You don't even know this? An egg fried rice defeated Kong Sally, and now it's very popular on the Internet. A short video has tens of millions of likes!"

"Internet celebrities? Now Internet celebrities can also participate in the Chef Challenge?"

……

There was a lot of discussion around, but Yu Xiaorong couldn't hear anything, he could only hear "kuangkuangkuangkuangkuang" which almost shattered his eardrums.

The loud noise of cutting vegetables alarmed the foreign photographers at the scene, and a close-up was shown on the big black dragon knife in Yu Xiaorong's hand.

"The young chef now uses a magical and ancient oriental kitchen knife."

——The on-site commentary is making an introduction in English, and the real-time live broadcast footage is played on the big screen at the scene.

At the venue, the eyes of the chief judge wearing a gold-rimmed chef's hat stopped. He stood in the center of the venue and stared at the big black dragon knife in Yu Xiaorong's hand on the screen.

"Chinese kitchen knife... Where is the chef who uses this knife?" Philip Duran asked the translator beside him in low French.

"Kang Bang Bang Bang Bang!" The sound of chopping vegetables seemed to linger in his ears.

Surrounded by translators, deputy judges, and a few entourages, they didn't seem to hear the sound of the knife. Duran was surrounded by the crowd and couldn't open his vision.

"It's a very common kitchen knife in China." Kong Sally came over and answered him in clear and fluent French: "If you're interested, walk into a Chinese village and any housewife can show you such a knife." Kitchen knives, there's nothing surprising about that, and they don't meet the EU Haute Cuisine Association standards for kitchen utensil use."

Kong Shali was directly recommended to enter the European finals as an outstanding graduate of the Lyon Master Chef School. She did not need to participate in the pre-selection of the Chinese competition.

Now she has become the Chinese tour guide of the chief judge. Kong Sally smiled at Duran: "Please come here, and I will introduce you to a special chef from a five-star hotel."

The group of them went in the opposite direction under the leadership of Miss Kong.

The diced octopus on Yu Xiaorong's table had been cut. He wiped the sweat off his brow, poured the diced octopus into a plate, washed it again, soaked it in cooking wine, and another 10 minutes passed.

The quick-handed team of chefs is done, and some of them start to clean up the remaining ingredients.

Unusable shrimps, corn that has been cooked but only a few grains were taken for color matching, a lot of unsightly shiitake mushrooms, and leftover chopped onions and shredded red ginger...Those were snatched back at the beginning, but in the end All the leftover ingredients and accessories were poured directly into the kitchen waste bin.

"Wait a minute! Can you give these to me?" Yu Xiaorong shook his sore wrist and stepped forward to stop the chef assistants who were about to throw away the ingredients.

"You... want all of them?"

Yu Xiaorong nodded, and then brought the largest cooking basin from his cooking table.

"It's too wasteful. They are all good ingredients. I just need to use them!"

With less than five or ten minutes left in the game, Yu Xiaorong finally prepared all his ingredients.

Except for the diced octopus he cut himself, the rest are all kinds of auxiliary materials recycled from various companies, piled up on the cooking table, and no one knows what he wants to do.

He took one of the largest frying pans and chose the same largest gnocchi mold.

Take 500g of low flour, 1 spoon of baking powder, 20g of salt, and chop yam into a puree... Yu Xiaorong poured these brains into 800ml of hot water, stirred evenly, and made a milky white batter.

Turning the heat to the maximum, Yu Xiaorong put the eight-hole mold directly on the frying pan, and when the stainless steel mold was completely heated by the frying pan, he swept the whole piece of butter across the meatball mold like a shovel.

The butter melts when it is heated, and the oil base is filled in the holes of the meatballs as big as a small fist.

"No, no?"

"What are you kidding?"

"Is he going to do this..."

An assistant chef who had just shown Xiaorong's ingredients was stunned, and he was actually amused by his sudden thought:

"Octopus balls?? That's it?"

"Just kidding."

"It's funny."

"This is a chef competition, why did you set up a food stall!"

"Old Zhang, you see, I have been nervous about preparing dishes for so long, why do I suddenly feel like I have been mocked, and I can use octopus balls for the competition."

"Oolong, oolong, fortunately, there is no global live broadcast!"

The few people who were watching the bustle by the side were negligent and dispersed.

……

Yu Xiaorong looked down at the small octopus ball pot he had set up temporarily.

Is it really that bad?

He compared the chef on his left, who made grilled ribs with red wine sauce; and the chef on his right, who made shrimp balls with mustard money.

It seems that there is.

Yu Xiaorong scratched his head, he continued to cook with his head down.

A big spoon poured the boiled batter into the mold. The mold he chose this time was four or five times the size of normal octopus balls. In order to use up all the ingredients in the shortest time, Yu Xiaorong specially chose maximum size.

The batter was frying in the butter, and Yu Xiaorong sprinkled the prepared octopus into the mold.

Add a small piece of ham, two pieces of crab sticks, put a big fresh shrimp in it, and then a thick cheese roll, such a small ball, you will have the happiness of bursting and then drawing.

Yu Xiaorong swallowed his saliva lightly, and of course sprinkled a handful of corn kernels to make it taste good.

Onion and red ginger are seasoned, and a handful of octopus is added at the end.

The filling was piled up from the mold hole and finally overflowed, so Yu Xiaorong sprinkled salt and pepper and red pepper powder.

sizzle-

The smell of oil wafted out, Yu Xiaorong inserted chopsticks into the bottom of the mold, turned over gently, and the big balls exposed the bottom that had been shaped.Add another spoonful of batter, even if it spills out, you won't be afraid of it. With a few picks with chopsticks, the balls will turn a few times in the mold, and they will turn into round golden balls by themselves.

In fact, Yu Xiaorong has been watching others make small octopus balls at street stalls, and has never tried such big octopus balls by himself.

He inserted one with chopsticks, and it carried the aroma of oil just out of the pan, and placed it on a western dish with lettuce leaves as the base.

Light green leaves, lined with two big round balls.

Sprinkle some kelp powder and add fragrant bonito flowers.Yu Xiaorong squeezed out two color-matched flowers with tomato and salad dressing.

It's ready, and it takes less than 10 minutes to make eight small balls in one pot.

It took two to set the plate, and there were six left in the pot. He inserted one and blew it, and while it was hot, he took a bite!

The charm of food stalls, of course, is to catch the first bite just out of the pan and eat it immediately.

So hot, so cool, so good Q bomb!

The shredded octopus creaked as it was bitten, and Yu Xiaorong sucked his tongue and was burned to the point of touching his ear.

"Why did you start eating by yourself first?" Someone came over and asked him curiously.

Yu Xiaorong managed to swallow a big mouthful, and when he looked up, he saw Chen Dongyang in a suit and leather shoes looking at him smiling.

"you……!?"

Chen Dongyang appeared again, and for some reason, he seemed to appear in Xiaorong's life frequently by coincidence recently.

Before he could ask "Why are you here again", Chen Dongyang answered in advance as if he had seen through his mind:

"It's still the same sentence, why can't I come. My Sunshine Group is the general sponsor of the China Division of the Young Chef Challenge."

Yu Xiaorong smiled.

He lowered his head, inserted another large octopus ball, put it in a bowl, put a spoon on it, and handed it directly to Chen Dongyang.

"All the contestants are ready, and the rest is for myself to eat! I can make a few more pots, and I can finish all these ingredients today!"
