At this moment, the incense stick was lit, and the four people on the stage started to move their hands one after another.
I saw the soup chef quickly set up a pot to boil water, and it seemed that he was about to blanch the pullet in his hand.
While waiting for the water to boil, Chef Soup did not dare to delay for a moment. Even though he chose a small hen, the cooking time and difficulty were much lower than those of thick-fleshed old chickens and oily old hens. . But if you really want to cook a chicken dish well, as a chef, Chef Soup knows the importance of time.
The so-called three-point taste, slow work and meticulous work, is the truth.
Chef Zheng was not idle at all. Although Chef Zheng was usually not good at speaking and even spoke slowly, his work was vigorous.
I saw a sharp and shining machete spinning several times in the hands of Chef Zheng, like a wheel spinning at high speed, shaking people's eyes hard.
"Swish, swish, swish", Chef Zheng turned the machete, chose a suitable hand position, and "snapped" a few times, and quickly chopped at the naked broiler chicken on the cutting board. According to the different parts of the chicken, the head , neck, double wings, two legs, chicken feet, chicken body... cut the knife separately.
After a while, when I looked again, the broiler chicken seemed to be intact, still lying quietly on the cutting board.
"Cut... What kind of gimmick am I playing! Dare to hack for a long time, but it didn't move at all!"
"And the chef!"
"I think Chef Zheng's knife should be sharpened? It's too blunt..."
The crowd of onlookers still had expressions of surprise and anticipation just now, but in an instant they all became contemptuous and discouraged, pointing and pointing.
"Master." Ergou stood below, clenched his fists tightly, and the muscles on his face became tense.
"Hehe." Chef Zheng took a long plate casually without explaining.
Use the back of the knife to gently support the chicken on the cutting board.
With a "whoosh", the chicken on the cutting board flew up instantly.
Everyone's eyes followed the trajectory of the chicken flying out. Sliding through a graceful arc.
"Crack." There was a crisp falling sound.
When I look at it again, the chicken head is facing forward on the plate. The wings are spread out, and the chicken legs and chicken feet are staggered. The chicken body is like layers of petals, neatly laid out.
"Wow! What a great knife skill!" Everyone exclaimed in unison, and those who spoke just now were dumbfounded.
Standing behind Ren Yue, Xiao Anzi was amazed.
The chef of Zuixianlou is really outstanding in every skill!
Chef Zhang's place was even more lively.
The turquoise frogs passed through the skillful hands of Chef Zhang. Grab, peel, squeeze.
When I looked again, I saw green coming in and white coming out.
Each of the bald and clean frogs reveals the slightest muscular lines. Lying quietly in the basin.
"With this speed, it shouldn't be a problem to peel a thousand or eight hundred pieces a day!" Someone muttered softly.
"Hmph." Ren Yue obviously saw the exquisite techniques of the three chefs, but his eyes were focused on Wen Wen's body, and his small skills on others. Just responded with a sneer of disdain.
I saw Ruan Rou patted the bastard's shell lightly, "Little thing, I'm sorry, I want to borrow your umami today, otherwise I will go hunting for five kinds of chicken, deer, cow, sheep, and pig." Meat quality. Hee hee, I have to sacrifice you alone. Don’t worry, I will definitely make you better, and I’m doing you a favor.”
"Hey, Miss Wen, are you talking to bastard? Can it understand?" Sheng Yaoshan was amused and asked casually.
"Yes, of course it can understand, I'm praising it! Let it happily serve me as the main ingredient! The food made in this way will be more delicious." Gentle and mischievous grimace.
After comforting the bastard, Genuine took a chopstick and gently teased the bastard who had been shrunk in the shell.
Perhaps the defense was too tense just now, or maybe the bastard stayed in the shell for a long time and wanted to come out to get some air.
The layers of folds stretched out, and there was a "snap".
Wang Ba stretched out his head, and firmly bit the chopsticks in Rou Rou's hand.
It was almost time for everyone to blink, and when I looked again, I didn't see how Rourou cut the bastard, I only saw that Wenrou was turning over the soft bastard's body in his hands, washing and bleeding.
"Hey, this thing is not easy to kill. Earlier, my dog leftover went to the river to touch one and came back. I was almost bitten off my finger by it. You see, there are still marks on it now." A woman in the crowd raised the flag of her right hand. Index finger, show it to the person next to you.
"This bastard stays in the mud all year round. There is a layer of black film all over his body, and the folds are full of dirt. If it is not handled properly, the meat will have a strong earthy smell. I don't know if this girl can do it. It's perfect." Mr. Songtao carefully observed Gentle Xiba, while beating drums in his heart.
"Rou'er, take your time, don't be in a hurry." Wen Shou was standing aside, unwilling to go in and rest, he wanted to witness his daughter's cooking skills with his own eyes.
"Sister, come on!" Wen Ting also stayed at the competition site. Although there was still a "List of Teachers" that he hadn't memorized, it must be that the husband's energy was on food these few days, and he didn't have time to check his homework.
"Sir, what did you just say about five-flavored chicken?" Liu Xian looked at Mr. Songtao and asked with a chubby little face.
"Your Highness doesn't know, this bastard has gathered five kinds of delicious meat, chicken, deer, beef, sheep, and pig, so it is called 'Five Flavors Chicken'. If it is cooked properly, you can taste the five flavors at the same time. It is very delicious!" Song Tao Mr. explained.
"So the five-flavored chicken is so delicious? The second brother brought me a bowl of bastard soup that day. I thought it was disgusting, so I didn't drink it, so I gave it to the little eunuch. If I knew this food was so delicious, I wouldn't let it go to others. !" Liu Xian smacked his mouth.
"Hehe, Your Highness will be able to taste it later." Master Qiao echoed.
"That is, my sister Wen's craftsmanship is the best in the world!" As soon as Liu Xian said this, Mr. Song Tao shook his head immediately.
Although Liu Xian is still a six-year-old boy at this time, and he will only be seven years old after the new year, it is inevitable that childish words are unscrupulous, but he is a prince after all, and the emperor has not yet established a heir. In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will be the emperor. This is the saying of "the best in the world". Wouldn't it be a golden word? !
At this time, everyone's energy was concentrated on the competition between the four on stage, Liu Xian said immaturely. It's just like a child talking for fun, and he didn't take it to heart.
at this time. Chef Soup's pullet has been blanched.
With the good tenacity and heat of blanching, Chef Soup easily separated the two chicken legs of the pullet, grabbed the sharp stomping knife, lifted, together, and then again, a complete chicken leg bone It was picked off.
"Ka Ka Ka" a rhythmic sound.
Just now it was two whole chicken legs, but now it has become a uniform chicken nugget.
There was another sound, and the ginger, garlic, and pepper had all been cut into rings.
White chicken, yellow ginger, and yellow garlic. There are also bright red peppers, all kinds of colors are really attractive.
I saw the soup chef heat up the oil pan, use high and low heat, first fry the chicken pieces until the surface is golden. Remove and drain oil.
Then put oil in the bottom of the pot, sauté ginger slices, garlic slices, and chili until fragrant, add fried chicken pieces and stir fry, then add sesame oil, oyster sauce, cooking wine, bean paste, rock sugar, and finally add a cup of rice wine, a cup of lard, 1 cup of soy sauce. Cook over low heat until the soup is thick, sprinkle with a handful of emerald green coriander when it comes out of the pan, and quickly stir fry evenly. This delicious chicken dish is ready to serve!
"It smells so good! It smells so good! Bring it here and give it to my prince to taste!" Liu Xian couldn't hold back for a while. Almost jumped on it.
"Hehe, judges, Xiaomin's 'Three Cup Chicken' is ready, and I invite you adults to taste it!" Chef Tang is really quick, and he has already served the dishes before everyone is ready.
"Oh? Three-cup chicken? Could it be that you want to eat it in a cup?" Boss Lu became interested.
"Hehe, this dish is cooked without soup, and only uses one cup of rice wine, one cup of lard, and one cup of soy sauce, and it is stewed over charcoal fire, so it is called Three Cup Chicken!" Chef Tang explained.
"So that's how it is! This is the first time I have eaten chicken cooked without water. Well, I must try it!" Boss Lu was about to move his chopsticks when he saw Liu Xian's angry eyes.
"Oh, oh, yes, Mr. Songtao first!" Boss Lu stopped his chopsticks and hurriedly said.
"The color of this dish is red, the original taste is mellow and attractive, and it is suitable for wine and rice. It's wonderful!" Mr. Songtao praised the delicious three-cup chicken after tasting it.
Chef Zheng looked up at the judge's expression, and couldn't help speeding up his subordinates.
The chopped chicken on the plate, according to the order, Chef Zheng first selected the chicken body, removed the chicken bone, left only the chicken, finely chopped into mince, then selected the chicken wings and chicken legs to remove the bone, the chicken was minced, and finally the chicken Chop the brittle bones on the feet into fine pieces, mix the minced chicken and brittle bones from each part one by one, and stir in one direction.
Add diced mushrooms, chopped black fungus, diced ham, diced winter bamboo shoots, chopped red pepper, squid crumbs, minced mustard mustard, salt and starch and stir in the same direction again.
When the mixture in the bowl is beaten, carefully fry a complete egg skin in a pan.
Put the starched mixture into the egg skin, steam it in a steamer, and take it out after about a cup of tea.
"What is this doing?" Qiao Zizhang asked the shopkeeper Li next to him.
"Master Zizhang, I don't know, Chef Zheng has been in my Zuixianlou for many years, and I have never seen him cook such dishes!" Shopkeeper Li was troubled.
"Hehe, for this competition, the chefs must not only use their housekeeping skills, but also make temporary innovations!" Master Qiao said with a gratified smile.
Chef Zheng took out the golden package from the steamer.
Put it on the cutting board and cut it carefully.
As soon as the blade fell, a crack opened in the golden egg skin, and a fresh and fragrant smell wafted out immediately.
"It's so fragrant! How come it smells like seafood!" Qiao Zizhang praised.
"Hehe, please judge and taste it! This small dish is called the Eight Treasures Ruyi Roll! There are eight delicious dishes in it, and you must be satisfied if you eat this roll!" Chef Zheng also began to write. up.
A plate of delicate chicken rolls wrapped in golden egg skin was presented in front of seven judges.
There are meat, vegetables and seafood. Through the ingenious combination, the ordinary ingredients are sublimated and placed in the hall of elegance. Beautiful appearance, rich nutrition, delicious taste, bright color.
All the onlookers swallowed their saliva in unison.
