"Ah Jing, I'll go cheer for you the day after tomorrow." Wang Siya said with a smile.
"You're so busy, it's better not to go." Su Jing said. Actually, she didn't want Wang Siya to be upset when she saw Cao Xing again.
"My brother is participating in the national finals, how can I not go?" Wang Siya pursed her lips and smiled, and couldn't help but say.
"Ajing, are you worried that you can't win? Let me tell you, no matter whether you can win the championship or not, you must at least surpass the chef of Cao Xing's restaurant. Don't let that bastard be proud." Dong Xun said angrily.
"Haha, don't worry." Su Jing smiled. The previous competitions in each province were recorded and then broadcast. But the finals were broadcast live. In front of the people of the whole country, Su Jing also wanted to win, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to go back to Qingyun Town. Su Jing doesn't really want to be famous, but she is also a person who cares about face. If she doesn't participate, she will be fine. If she does, she will aim for the championship.
"With Ah Jing's cooking skills, it would be strange not to win the championship. Don't be stressed. Consolidate your cooking skills in these two days and strive to perform well. By the way, I heard that the finals will start with nationwide audience voting to determine the points. 30%, remember to choose a kind of cooking that shows off the knife skills and is more gorgeous. After all, the audience can only watch, not taste, they can only judge based on vision." Wang Siya said, already touching Su Jing out of habit. the back of the head.
"Okay." Su Jing nodded.
In the next two days, Su Jing stayed at home. In addition to practicing mental and physical exercises, Su Jing spent the rest of her time consolidating her cooking skills. I even went to my uncle’s Zhenhong Seafood Restaurant and cooked a lot of dishes, which satisfied many people. Su Jing read all the recipes from "The Wilderness" again, and then memorized them all in her mind, preparing to choose a more gorgeous recipe as Wang Siya said.
"I couldn't make these dishes before, but I don't know if they can be done now?" Su Jing sorted out several recipes that were described as extremely delicious and also extremely gorgeous. The materials used in them were relatively common and could not be found anywhere else on the planet. have. But the problem is that these dishes require too much cooking skills.
The dishes I made in the past required extremely high cooking skills, strict knife skills, and process requirements that were like alchemy. It was impossible for ordinary people to make them. However, those are just the simpler of these recipes.
For example, the dishes Su Jing has selected now are not only demanding on knife skills and processes, but also extremely demanding on the heat. This does not mean that the heat must be maintained at the same level, but that the heat must be constantly and finely changed during the process, and the heat must be constantly changed. Let the flame directly contact the dish... In short, it means to control the flame as freely as your hands and feet, or to treat the flame as an ingredient in the recipe and add it to the dish delicately.
Su Jing has long been able to make the bright flame fish soup. When the pot is opened, the flame must be burned on the porridge, otherwise it will not be the authentic bright flame fish soup. However, it only burned for a while and was quickly extinguished. It can't be compared with this kind of fine control of flames.
"Nima, this is too demanding. I'm not a cultivator. How can I control the flames?" Su Jing was a little depressed. There was almost no doubt that these dishes were recipes created by cultivators in the time and space of "The Wilderness". .
Su Jing was not one to give up when faced with difficulties, so he decided to give it a try. Select the ingredients, cut them with a gorgeous knife, and put them in the pot. It is not difficult to bring the fire to the wok and let it boil. Many cooks can do it. Su Jing succeeded the first time. After the flame came up, she quickly picked up the pot and stir-fried the dishes in the pot. The flame went out quickly. For ordinary dishes, this was completely acceptable. However, for this dish, it was a bit undercooked, and the flames did not wrap all the dishes. For this dish, it was completely substandard. The second time, after the flames came up, Su Jing waited a little, and the result was The flames were so strong that the entire pot of food was burnt.
Just controlling the first flame caused Su Jing to waste four pots of food. And this is just the simplest part, the later requirements are more refined, down to the temperature of the flame, the burning time, and even the different materials inside have different burning temperatures and times. This may not be difficult for cultivators, but for normal people, it is simply unreasonable.
"I'll go, this is too embarrassing. Even if I concentrate very hard, I can't do it." Su Jing was helpless and almost wanted to give up. The food in the pot was still burning and she didn't bother to save it. But at this moment, in a relaxed state, the mental power he released was wrapped in flames. When the mental power touched the flames, there was no burning sensation, but it just felt a little warm.
"It turns out that this is how it feels to touch a flame with mental power. I have never tried it before. Of course, maybe it was because my mental power was too low before. When I touched the flame, I didn't have such an obvious feeling of touch. After all, the flame is invisible. It's simply It's not much different from air." Su Jing's heart moved, and she further released her mental power and blended into the flames on the gas stove.
At this moment, a scene that surprised him happened. He seemed to touch the flame directly, just like touching running water with his hand. Then a ball of flame, wrapped by his mental power, floated directly to the sky and suspended in the sky. After a while, , slowly extinguished.
"Oh my god, is this the legendary fire control?"
Su Jing was overjoyed, not only because she had found a breakthrough to make these dishes, but also because the ability itself, after all, controlling flames, looked powerful and domineering, and seemed to be very useful.
He continued to try and found that he could wrap the flame with his spirit and move the flame at will. In addition, he could control the amount of contact with the air through his mental power, thereby controlling the size of the flame, making the fire burn brighter or extinguishing it. However, fire cannot be made out of nothing, there must be fuel.
"Try again and see if you can make these dishes."
Su Jing tried again and was pleasantly surprised to find that things that were impossible before suddenly became possible. Of course, this is still not an easy task. The control of mental power is extremely demanding. If mental power had not surged in recent times, it would be impossible. Even now, I feel a little stretched. After practicing for a while, I feel mentally exhausted.
He was not discouraged and continued to practice. When he was tired, he would drink tea made from fallen leaves in the world of "Eternal Life", practice crystal meditation in the time and space of "Galaxy Emperor", watch pictures of beautiful women in the time and space of "The Wild Era", and inject his spirit into the time and space of "Tomb of Gods". The magic wand, and the black gold stone tea tray from the time and space of "Covering the Sky" was beside him... He was very lucky to have many treasures in his body that were helpful to his mental power.
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the finals of "Good Chef China" are finally about to begin.
