I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

"The gong is struck, the cauldron is set up, and the competition begins!"

The man beating the gong pointed behind him, pointing to the two high platforms behind.There is a thatched shed on each of the high platforms, in which there is a stove, tables, and pots and pans.

This is the venue of Wuwei Club, which is specially used to fight against colleagues.

Sinan and Shopkeeper Yu each occupied a table, one east and the other west.

There is an octagonal pavilion between the two high platforms, in which there are stone tables and chairs, and bamboo mats and rolling curtains, which are quite elegantly arranged.Now there are eight referees, including Bai Ye.

Before taking his seat, he deliberately smiled at Sinan, and mouthed to him, "Don't worry."

Simon... didn't pay attention at all.

There are several flower sheds in front of the two high platforms, some with tables and chairs, and some with steps like tiles.

Tang Xuan is in the largest flower shed in the middle, next to the current owner of Wushuilou, Wu Zixing.

Si Nan waved to Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan smiled back.

white night:……

Still have to keep smiling.

There are many people crowded in the rest of the sheds, some are sitting or standing, there are colleagues, there are relatives and friends, and more people come to watch the excitement.

Everyone is discussing fiercely, and their opinions are unprecedentedly consistent—Sinan will lose this battle.

At first, Wuwei Club also thought about cooperating with a casino called "Small Qian Qian Fei Lai" to set up a gambling game.

Xiaoqian Qian Feilai readily agreed, but after inquiring about it, he withdrew quickly—what bet?The outcome is unclear!

Sinan waved again to his family and friends.

The group of relatives and friends collectively made a "preparation for fighting" action-this is the action they finally decided to support after many days of passionate discussions.

Si Nan smiled brightly.

The onlookers suddenly softened their hearts. Such a young young gentleman, even if he lost to Wushuilou, he would not be ashamed!

Then look at shopkeeper Yu, the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and small eyes, he is not a good person at first glance.

The ladies collectively fell on one side, secretly praying that the good-looking little brother would not lose too badly.

"Boom-"

The gong rang again, attracting everyone's attention.

The man introduced: "Today, the shopkeeper Yu Wuwan from Wushui Building is fighting today—"

Shopkeeper Yu cupped his hands towards the gazebo, and smiled coldly at Sinan.

"The other party is the owner of Si's Hot Pot Restaurant, Si Nan—"

Si Nan's eyes were bent, his arms were raised, and he walked around the field coquettishly.

"what!!!"

"Little boss, come on!"

Note, not a group of friends and relatives.

Before the group of relatives and friends had time to shout slogans, it was the little ladies watching the fun!

Si Nan smiled even brighter, and waved his hand over there.

The little ladies were shy for a second.

Tang Xuan pursed his lips.

Shopkeeper Yu's face was about to turn into a donkey, and he sarcastically said in a low voice, "Can the little boy be eaten?"

Si Nan smiled, "Most of those who say that are ugly."

Shopkeeper Yu almost choked to death.

If it weren't for the referee's booth between the two of them, he might have jumped down to scratch Sinan.

——and was killed by Si Nan.

The vice president of Wuwei Club, that is, Bai Ye coughed lightly, and reminded with a smile: "Please check the ingredients and utensils in the shed, and if there are no mistakes, we will start."

Shopkeeper Yu gave Sinan a hard look, but he was very attentive to Bai Ye.

The third building in Bianjing City, Fanlou, Bailou, and Fengyilou, followed by Wushuilou.

Behind the Fanlou is the royal power, Fengyilou is Tang Xuan's property, and Bailou is managed by Bai Ye. As for the real owner behind it, it has never been revealed in front of people.

Shopkeeper Yu has a careful thought, taking advantage of this time to show off his skills and become famous in one fell swoop, he might be able to catch Bai Ye's eyes and jump to Bailou.

Si Nan didn't have any selfish distractions, he just focused on checking the ingredients on the table.After confirming that it was correct, he inserted the small red flag on the shed.

Upon seeing the shopkeeper Yu, he acted quickly and checked it hastily.He has been the shopkeeper for too long, and these things have always been left to the small workers below. Now when he first saw the meat and vegetables that had not been processed, he was a little unfamiliar.

Soon, he also planted the little red flag.

The two sacrificed to the Kitchen God, bowed to the referee, and saluted the audience before returning to their respective cases.

"Boom-"

"Let's start!"

With the sound of a gong, several nimble servants jumped onto the hut and lowered the roller blinds on all sides, blocking everyone's sight.One is to prevent the secret recipe from leaking out, and the other is to ensure that the person in charge will not be disturbed.

There is only one chef and one assistant left in each hut.The chef is in charge of cooking the five main dishes in the Wushui banquet, and the assistants make sixteen side dishes, eight cold and eight hot.

On the shopkeeper Yu's side was a new apprentice he had taken in, who seemed not as old as Sinan.In fact, there are several masters with good craftsmanship in Wushui Building, but shopkeeper Yu didn't bring any of them.

Firstly, he thought it was a side dish, so it didn't matter if he couldn't make it well; secondly, this was his arena, and he didn't want those people to take advantage of it.

Sinan's assistant is even smaller, Erdou.

It's not that he's afraid of other cooks, the main reason is... There's no one to take care of.

Tang Xuanyuan wanted to lend him the cook of Fengyi Building, but Si Nan thought about it, but still refused.A chef who can handle the dishes has his own way of cooking, no matter how good he is, it doesn't match his style.

Grandpa said that a table has a set of dishes, one dish has the taste of another dish, and the whole table can only have the harmony of the five flavors, the contrast of meat and vegetables, and the same origin, so that the aftertaste will be endless.

Erdou was brought out by him. From knife work to ingredients, he was just like Sinan, and Sinan believed in him.

When Er Dou came to the stage, he was so nervous that he was at the same level, which made everyone laugh.

The rambunctious slobs shouted loudly: "Go down! You little bastard who hasn't even grown a hair yet, don't make trouble!"

The little lady pulled her handkerchief and worried, "Why is Si Xiaodong's family so big-hearted? At least find someone who can handle the situation, why did you bring a child here!"

Hearing these voices, Erdou became even more nervous, tripped and almost fell.

A hand held him.

It was his master, Simon.

Erdou vaguely recalled that back then in Zhouqiao, Sinan supported him who was almost fainted from hunger, and stuffed a white and fat meat bun into his hand.

At this time, Si Nan smiled like that time, and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just like when you were at home——haven't you already practiced it?"

Some time ago, Sinan was trying vegetables day and night, and Erdou was there to help him. He was so sleepy that he refused to go back to sleep.

Later, when the time for the competition was fixed, the little guy was even more diligent, and he didn’t even learn the soup base, and he specialized in making those side dishes—all the friends in the hot pot restaurant almost vomited.

At this time, those little friends who threatened to "never eat Erdoucai again" held up banners to encourage him——

"Doudo Erdou, come on, come on!"

"Two beans and two beans, the best spoon!"

"Erdou Erdou, kill Wushuilou!"

Pfft-hahahahahaha!

The whole place burst into laughter.

Among them, the one who laughed the most was an elderly man in pink clothes—yes, pink clothes, the peach pollen kind, with a pair of small smiling eyes, a round face, and a flower on his head.

If this kid hadn't been as famous as "Sinan" back then, everyone might have regarded him as Wu Zixing's pet boy, the owner of Wushuilou.

In fact, he is Wu Zixing's younger brother, a direct relative.

Just...the kind that I regret not strangling to death.

Wu Zixing was tall and silent, like a majestic patriarch.

Sweeping his eyes coldly, Wu Zixu immediately shrank his neck, covered it with a fan and winked at Erdou.

Erdou's face flushed red.

He thought his opponent was laughing at him.

Si Nan didn't see any malice, and smiled generously at Wu Zixu.

Wu Zixu raised his eyebrows, turned his head and whispered in his elder brother's ear: "Brother, this guy is really funny, let's recruit him into Wushuilou!"

Wu Zixing had a cold face, "Is the Wushui Tower for you to play with? Let's see what you have made!"

I knew that he shouldn't have gone to Xijing to take up his post at the beginning, and left Wushuilou to this stupid brother to take care of.

This small episode delayed some time, and there was already the sound of chopping vegetables from shopkeeper Yu's side, the sound was still loud, as if provocative.

Erdou became even more nervous.

Si Nan patted his head, pointed to the two stoves in the thatched shed, one large and one small, "Look, does it look like our small kitchen?"

Erdou said foolishly, "It's not as good as ours."

It was not enough to finish this sentence, and seriously emphasized: "It's almost the same."

Manager of Wuweishe:? ? ?

The kitchen in Si's small courtyard was specially remodeled by Si Nan, imitating the design of a modern kitchen, it is indeed much better than here.

Si Nan suppressed a smile, "It's fine if you can cook, let's make do with it."

Erdou nodded, "Alright then."

The tone is very reluctant.

Wuweishe steward:! ! !

Minus points!Minus one hundred points!

Standing in front of the stove, Erdou's expression gradually changed, as if he forgot the people around him, couldn't hear any sound, and there was only this small world in front of him.

He wants to make these soft meat and tender raw vegetables into delicious food, and put them on the plate, so that the people who eat them will no longer be as hungry as he used to be.

It is the simplest and simplest wish.

Seeing that he was in the mood, Sinan nodded in satisfaction, quickly withdrew his mind, and focused on the five main dishes.

"Wushui banquet" is the elegant name of Wushuilou, because the main course is five bowls, and the bowls are mostly fried first and then steamed. There is soup in each bowl, and it is mostly used for red and white weddings. Therefore, the term "water mat" is also appropriate.

The first dish: fermented bean curd meat.

This dish seems simple, but in fact it is the most skill-testing. The temperature of the meat in the pot and the degree of deep-frying of the tofu are very important to the taste.

When steaming in a pot, the size of the pottery bowl, the angle at which the meat is stacked, the length and thickness of the scallions and ginger slices are all learned.

These are all pitfalls that Sinan stepped on at the beginning.

The second course: mustard meat.

Similar to the modern pickled meat with preserved vegetables, there is a mass of dried mustard greens under it, and the slices of meat on top are thin and continuous, stacked like fish scales.

Just adjust the seasoning and steam it, this one is not difficult.

The third course: fish balls.

Thanks to modern experience, Sinan's method of making fish balls is quite different from that of the folks in the Song Dynasty.

Everyone tasted the ten sets of Wushui mats that Tang Xuan bought, and when they went to eat Sinan's, they all thought Sinan's was good.

As long as the referee is not blind, this dish is considered stable.

The fourth way: vegetarian meatballs.

The more vegetarian dishes are, the more difficult it is to cook. This dish is the most detested one in the Wushui banquet.

Modern vegetarian meatballs can be added with diced carrots and mashed potatoes instead of traditional flour and water radish.However, there are no potatoes in Da Song.

Sinan tried several methods, and finally chose the best one. The result depends on whether the referee sticks to tradition or encourages innovation.

The last dish: small crispy pork.

This is Sinan's favorite, and it was also what Grandpa was best at back then.Si Nan prepared the ingredients, cut them and pickled them, then fried them and steamed them in a wok. The set of movements was smooth and smooth.

The steamed crispy pork is all the same size. The crispy outer skin is soaked in the salty soup, which neutralizes the greasy and absorbs the flavor. The shredded pork inside is not greasy or sticky.

Si Nan couldn't hold back, and secretly ate one.

Turning around, he saw Er Dou staring at him eagerly, and stuffed another one into his mouth.

Just as the gong sounded, it was time.

The bamboo curtain was rolled up, and besides the tempting delicacies, there was also a pair of master and apprentice with puffy cheeks in front of everyone.

The scene was silent for three seconds, and the crowd screamed.

——all girls.

In the flower shed, Tang Xuan's eyes darkened.

He thinks too highly of himself.

How could it be so generous to allow him to marry someone else?
