rebirth through food

There are ten reviewers in this competition, six of them are elders and presidents of the Chefs Association, and the other four are monks.

Including Ye Xiaofeng, Su Mochen, Qian Chengran, and an old friend, the master of Suyuemen.

This time the competition was held at Qingshan School and Qingyun Peak, so it was natural to invite these big figures to take part in the town. The beautiful and beautiful sect master of Suyuemen also had a good relationship with them, so naturally he readily accepted the appointment.

Hundreds of temporary pots and stoves are in the center of the venue, but there are thousands of prospective chefs participating in the competition.

One game per day, a total of ten days, the top ten cooks every day, and complete the questions can be promoted. After the ten days of competition, these hundred people will participate in the re-examination, and more than a thousand people will produce ten chefs in total.

From the first day, it was the assessment of intermediate chefs and senior chefs, and many monks came to watch.

"What? You also want to participate?" The president of the Chef's Association was extremely surprised. He is already an honorary elder of the Chef's Association, so why bother!

But seeing Ye Xiaofeng staring at him with wide eyes, as if he was determined to win, he had no choice but to agree.

This is not a big deal, anyway, apart from the six old men, the opinions of the other four are just for reference.

The old president agreed to Ye Xiaofeng's request, holding a small pot of wine that Ye Xiaofeng brought him, shook his head and left.But he would never have guessed that Ye Xiaofeng's move was not for the sake of gaining the title of Chef in a legitimate way, but for the prize in the taste contest.

There will be prizes in each flavor fighting contest, but only for No.1.This No.1 is not the No.1 of junior chefs, but the No.1 of senior chefs.That is to say, if you want to win this lottery, you must be a chef, and you must participate in the fighting contest and get No.1.

A few days ago, Ye Xiaofeng had this plan when he saw the winner of this competition, it was nothing more than something else, his God of Cookery Pagoda responded to the winner, a black soup pot.

This is the first time that a device that can make the God of Cookery Tower respond.The chef will get this soup pot at a different time, and it is delivered by a very low-key chef.Although there is nothing extraordinary about it, the material of this pot is so rare that even the president can't tell it apart.Moreover, the soup cooked in this soup pot will be more fragrant and thicker than the soup made in ordinary soup pots, and it is indeed extraordinary.

It's useless for the Chefs Association to keep this soup pot, not to mention that these elders who keep the Chefs Association seldom do anything, even if they really cook, they also have their own exclusive kitchen utensils. lottery.

Ye Xiaofeng signed up according to the procedures, and was arranged in a small courtyard where the contestants lived.

This is the second peak of Qingyun Peak. Although he is the fourth eldest disciple of Qingyun Peak and the first disciple personally handed down by Su Mochen, not many people have actually seen his true self.

When he came here, no matter whether he was a disciple of the Food Masters Association or a disciple of the Qingshan School, he didn't know him, so he was completely clean.

After resting quietly all night, he was woken up early in the morning. After washing up, he changed into the uniform white clothes for the competition, and queued up to enter the arena.

His luck is still good, he was arranged on the first day, so that he can have more time to watch other people's games, and more time to prepare for the next competition.

The 100 people each chose a pleasing stove to stand on. Ye Xiaofeng had nothing to choose, so he picked a corner at random, and put some things he had prepared on the stove.

After a burst of drumming, the old president of the Chefs Association stood up and said a few words, introduced the rules of the competition, and announced the official start of the competition.

On the flagpole tens of meters high, the topic of this competition, pasta, floated.

No matter if you use black noodles, white noodles or what kind of noodles, no matter if it is noodles, bread or whatever, as long as it is delicious, you can pass the test.

This looks very simple, but it is actually very difficult.

There are only ten places, and the food must not only be delicious, but also fast, otherwise it will be a waste of time if the places are full.

Almost at the moment when the topic was released, everyone got busy.

Ye Xiaofeng looked around while kneading the noodles. Noodles, noodle cakes, gnocchi... There are so many ways to make noodles, and there are thousands of them that will not be repeated. Ye Xiaofeng's eyes can hardly see.

But he had his cards in his hole, according to the ratio and the good noodles, put them aside, and Ye Xiaofeng started to make the toppings.

What he was going to make was sliced ​​noodles.

Although the sliced ​​noodles are noodles, the topping is indeed the most essential.Although noodles must be chewy and delicious, they are incomplete without this topping.

What Ye Xiaofeng wants to do is braised pork toppings.

Ye Xiaofeng Yujian has a special method for braised pork topping, and it is not troublesome to make. It is nothing more than a live production.

Ye Xiaofeng washed the prepared spirit pork and cut it into small pieces, marinated it with a special marinade formula, set up a mouthful of overcooked oil, and chopped the other part of the pork into minced meat balls and put them in for deep frying.

When the meatballs are fried, change the pot and boil the eggs, and when the stewed meat is almost ready, put the boiled eggs and meatballs into the stew.

Ye Xiaofeng hadn't finished the topping yet, but there were already people ringing the prepared gong beside him to show that he was ready.

The top three are all noodles without exception. This kind is indeed faster, but one is ramen noodles, one is cut noodles, and the other is noodles similar to poached fish.

The three of them were not only fast, but also tasted really good. The finished noodles were divided into ten small bowls and sent to the ten judges.

As long as six of the ten judges are satisfied, they can pass, which seems simple and fair.

Three of the ten places were suddenly reduced, and most people began to speed up their actions.

Ye Xiaofeng secretly calculated the time, and felt that it was about the same. The cooking time for this topping is not bad, the main reason is that the noodles must be pressed and kneaded repeatedly, and it must be fully cooked to make the noodles even and chewy.

Ye Xiaofeng methodically kneaded the dough and cooked the toppings, and several people in the arena rang the gong one after another.But this time I was not so lucky. The noodles are delicious, but not just delicious.The most important thing as a chef is to preserve the aura in the ingredients as much as possible, otherwise what is the difference between a chef and a cook.

Only one of these people passed the test, and the rest were disqualified because of their low taste or aura value.

This sounded the alarm for everyone, and many people's faces became more dignified.

Ye Xiaofeng was no exception, he kneaded the cooked noodles again and again, gently put it on his left hand, and with the other hand resolutely rang the gong beside him.At this time, there were more than seven qualified people, so he had to be opportunistic.

Hearing the voice, the ten disciples who were in charge of serving the dishes walked towards him. Taking advantage of this time, Ye Xiaofeng held a special piece of iron in his right hand and sliced ​​noodles into the boiling pot.

A leaf falls into the pot, another leaf floats, a leaf leaves the surface and a knife is thrown, the whitebait falls into the water and turns white waves, and the willow leaves ride the wind down the treetops.

This little poem fully expressed the essence of knife-sliced ​​noodles, and Ye Xiaofeng did it.Since his cultivation level came up, his control over all kinds of kitchen utensils has become much stronger. Coupled with the several months of retreat, his knife skills have indeed improved a lot.

The ten disciples were all taken aback when they saw Ye Xiaofeng cutting the noodles from a distance, and subconsciously wanted to take a few steps quickly, but even so, when they came to the front, the noodles had all been cut.

Ye Xiaofeng set up ten small bowls at a time, and scooped them in the pot with his hands. The cut noodles that looked like willow leaves were cooked just right, and then they were put into ten small bowls.

The thick topping cooked next to it is poured into the bowl together with a marinated egg and a ball.

In a delicate small bowl, a strip of sliced ​​noodles is thick in the middle and thin in the sides.Sharp edges, shaped like willow leaves, topped with stewed pork toppings, meatballs and eggs are already brine-colored, and a tangy aroma hits the face.

The ten judges, whether they were members of the Chefs Association or Su Mochen, couldn't help picking up their bowls and started eating.

The noodles are smooth on the outside and gluten on the inside, soft but not sticky. The more you chew, the more fragrant they become. delicious.

This is related to Ye Xiaofeng's method of making meatballs. First, the outer surface of the meatballs is fried with hot oil, and most of the deliciousness and soup are locked in the meatballs. Juice, the taste is very unexpected.

The stewed egg was also extraordinary. At first everyone thought it was another meatball, but it was only after biting into it that they realized it was a stewed egg. However, although the taste of this stewed egg could not be compared with the meatball, it was equally delicious. Unfinished business.

A bowl of noodles was eaten quickly, compared to the previous three who just tasted it, this time everyone was very respectful.

Not surprisingly, Ye Xiaofeng passed the first round, out of ten spots went to eight, and there were two spots left. The competition became more and more intense, and they were all completed while Ye Xiaofeng was waiting for the judges.

Soon all ten people stood aside, but this did not mean that they had obtained the qualifications of chefs. If so, it would be too simple.Among the ten, only two can get the title of chef in the end, and this is only a proportion. If luck is not good, all the members of this team may die young.

Compared to Ye Xiaofeng's young age, the other nine people were almost all in their 27s and [-]s, only two were younger, and they also looked [-] or [-] years old.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that this opponent was too young, and they didn't know what kind of shit luck they had to pass the initial test.

"Next topic." The elder glanced at everyone one by one, "Make a soup to match your pasta."

Everyone was taken aback, some frowned, and some secretly delighted.

To my surprise, the few people who finished it later, some of them made pancakes, some made fried noodles, and steamed buns, which could be served with soup, but the few people who finished it earlier, including Ye Xiaofeng, were all good. The noodles are made, and many of them are soup noodles. How do you go with the soup?

Ye Xiaofeng was also taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect such a topic at first, he thought it was going to be another dish.

But after looking at his own noodles, Ye Xiaofeng walked back resolutely, and poured out ten bowls of the noodle soup.

Ten bowls of whitish noodle soup were quickly delivered to everyone, while others were still thinking about how to make an exquisite soup to match their own noodles.

The elders didn't drink this bowl of noodle soup, but Qian Chengran felt a little thirsty and took a sip.Su Mochen next to him gave him a stern look, not because he drank the soup, but because he was in a hurry to settle accounts with him before he came for the boys he gave away.

The speed of the other people was not slow, and they made the soup quickly.

"Okay." The elders were not in a hurry to taste the soup for everyone, but placed them there. "Tell me about your soup and staple food."

"My soup is made from four-flavored river seafood, and it goes with my staple river fresh noodles."

"Next!"

"I make miso soup, with my dried bean paste noodles."

Ten people spoke their soup one by one, several elders listened with nods, and took a sip from their bowls, and then whispered a few words.In the end it was Ye Xiaofeng's turn, and the others showed a hint of disdain. If the first game required speed, it would be understandable to do it quickly, but there were only ten of them in the second game. A bowl of noodle soup is too childish!
