When the others in front of the booth looked at Fang Ze again with the anger of being fooled, Fang Ze responded with innocent eyes.
"I'm sorry I saw it wrong just now."
I misjudged your sister.
A group of people looked at Fang Ze speechlessly, thinking that Fang Ze was just teasing them.
But Fang Ze didn't care. Anyway, the light of the shredded green pepper pork had dissipated at this time. He picked up the lid of the pot and exposed the shredded green pepper pork inside.
Looking at a large plate of brightly colored shredded green pepper pork, Fang Ze couldn't help himself and took a bite first.
The green peppers are juicy and the meat is tender, and the two flavors blend well together.
The shredded pork stir-fried with green peppers on the side gave Fang Ze a feeling that this was the best food in the world.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Lin Xiaoxin came over curiously and picked it up with chopsticks.
"Nonsense, what can I cook that tastes bad?" Fang Ze looked proud.
"You just cut a vegetable, and the rest was made by Little Xingxing. What does it have to do with you." Lin Xiaoxin did not agree with Fang Ze's words at all.
"You look like an amateur at first glance. Knife skills play an important role in a dish."
While the two were talking, Lin Xiaoxin had already taken her first bite of green pepper shredded pork.
"Why is it so delicious?" Lin Xiaoxin covered her mouth and couldn't believe it.
"I told you it was delicious. I still don't believe it." Fang Ze patted Lin Xiaoxin's head and signaled Lin Xiaoxin not to eat too much. After all, she didn't cook much to begin with, and there were quite a few people in the hall.
The booth next to Fang Ze was a seafood booth, with seven or eight people standing crowded inside. They prepared enough lobster and abalone for this competition. The key is to use high-end ingredients to push yourself to higher floors.
As long as they can show their face on it and promote their restaurant, their mission will be completed this time.
After all, they know quite a bit about how much their cooking skills weigh.
"Master, look at what's next to you, it looks like a home-cooked dish." A young man in the seafood booth said, pointing to the shredded green pepper pork that Fang Ze and his team had just exposed for everyone to see.
"Cook your food well and care about what others are doing." The chef pressed the young man's head and asked him to turn his head around, and then said, "She has two children with her, and they are here to join in the fun."
"I mean, there is such an ordinary home-cooked dish next to us, so after a while, people from the booths on both sides will attract us, and we might get a high score." The young man said excitedly.
"This makes sense." The master thought for a while and said, "I just don't know if we have prepared enough seafood."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as we climb above three floors, the task will be completed. If the abalone and lobster are not enough, we will change to other ordinary dishes and leave."
"Yes." The master nodded in agreement.
After a while, the official competition began.
However, things on the playing field did not go as the master and apprentice thought. On the contrary, it was just the opposite.
A large number of onlookers went to the booth next to them, while their own seafood booth was basically ignored.
"How could this happen!?" Several people in the booth were stunned.
Although the fried shredded pork with green peppers at the booth next to me did sell well, it was not so good that it attracted so many people in the first place.
At this time, they saw the kid cooking at the booth next door walking over and starting to taste the delicacies made by other contestants from booth to booth.
Because they were connected, Liu Pleiaxing walked over after eating at several booths nearby and looked at the pile of lobsters and abalones placed on the table of this seafood booth.
Liu Pleiaxing glanced at the delicacies placed on the platform and frowned. It seemed that he was not interested at all.
But since I have come here, I still have to try it out of politeness.
So Liu Pleiades picked up his chopsticks, tasted the runny abalone on the booth, and then prepared to leave with an expressionless face.
"Kid, wait a moment." The master immediately panicked when he saw Liu Pleiaxing's performance.
After all, although he didn't eat the green pepper shredded pork made by Liu Pleiades, he knew that Liu Pleiades's cooking was not bad just by the crowd gathered in front of Liu Pleiax's booth.
Otherwise, who has never tasted home-cooked food, how could there be so many people rushing to eat it
Moreover, the tickets for this food festival are so expensive that it is unrealistic to buy them online.
After all, except for the first floor, the other floors of Xianghu Tower are all specially invited guests, so it is impossible to bribe them. But it is not necessary to just bribe the diners on the first floor.
So he wanted to ask, what did he do wrong today? Why was it that the number of diners in front of the booth, not to mention Liu Pleiades' booth, was higher than that of several ordinary-looking booths next to them? That's a lot.
"Kid, looking at the way you were shaking the spoon just now, you must be quite accomplished in cooking. Can you give me some advice on our soft-boiled abalone dish?"
Liu Pleiaxing is an honest boy. Since the master has already asked him to give some advice, he said directly without being polite, "Run-hearted abalone is a major dish in Cantonese cuisine. The method is to use dried abalone, soak it in water and wait for three days." After that, put it into the pot and simmer it.”
As he spoke, Liu Pleiax pointed to the abalone among the soft-boiled abalone on the table and said, "Although I just tasted a bite, what is certain is that you must have done three days of soaking. This is very important. It’s rare, and after you finish soaking, you also clean the internal organs inside. This way, the abalone won’t have any fishy smell when you eat it.”
"Thank you for the compliment." The master was very happy after hearing what Liu Pleiaxing said.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with my cooking. It must be because the guests don't appreciate it and don't come to eat.
But then Liu Pleiaxing said, "When cooking abalone, in addition to abalone, another important thing is the soup. When you put the dried abalone into the pot for cooking, you must constantly pour the soup into it while cooking. Color the abalone. This will make the soup thick and shiny.”
"And your soup is obviously substandard." Liu Pleiades took out a spoonful of soup and showed it to a few people. The color obviously did not meet the standards Liu Pleiaxing mentioned before.
"Well, maybe we were too hasty when we did it before and didn't notice it." The young apprentice touched his nose in embarrassment. Because he is responsible for this procedure.
Because there were too many abalones to deal with at that time, he was not so serious in the back. As a result, the soup of a lot of runny abalone was not up to standard at all.
The master wanted to give his apprentice a slap in the face in public, but he couldn't bear it in the end. He just said, "I didn't expect that we lost on such a small detail."
"You didn't lose on such a small detail." Liu Pleiades suddenly raised his head and said after hearing what the master said.
