Among the top ten representative dishes of Chinatown, Peng's Chicken ranks sixth and High Energy Chicken Wings ranks ninth. As early as three days ago when Ye Chui first came to Peng's Hall, he had already won the Peng's Chicken dish. Now he did not let go of the High Energy Chicken Wings either. He perfectly deduced the cooking method of this dish, which convinced Peng Song. The other five people in the hall of Peng's Hall also had different moods.
Huang Yiyuan looked very gloomy. It was obvious that Ye Chui's victory made him even more hostile towards Ye Chui.
Lin Dong seemed to look down on Ye Chui at first, but now his attitude towards Ye Chui has changed a little.
His restaurant's head chef, Nick Cheung, kept his head down in deep thought after tasting the high-energy chicken wings, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Mrs. Gao's expression remained unchanged, and she didn't show any emotion.
The fat aunt Jiang Yuemei seemed to have no interest in Ye Chui's win or loss. She just came to watch the fun - the remaining pieces of the plate of high-energy chicken wings all fell into her mouth.
Tang Shanshan looked at the high-energy chicken wings on the plate eagerly, and said with some nostalgia: "I have never eaten this kind of chicken wings before..."
Han Yuyan smiled and comforted the girl: "It's okay, I'll ask Master to do it for you a few more times later."
"Is this okay?" Tang Shanshan's eyes lit up.
“Of course, although Master’s cooking skills are not ordinary, he treats his own people very well. He can make any kind of delicious food.” Han Yuyan said happily.
"Oh." Tang Shanshan nodded, and suddenly felt a little touched in her heart. Did they already regard her as one of their own
Humph, that He Chengqing wants me to betray Ye Chui and his people, go to hell!
"Mr. Ye, which restaurant are you going to next?" Zhang Jiahui, the head chef of Linjiabao, who was sitting next to Lin Dong, suddenly said, "We at Linjiabao are waiting for Mr. Ye Chui's visit!"
Lin Li, the owner of Lin's Pot, turned his head to look at Zhang Jiahui in surprise and sighed slightly.
After the high-energy chicken wings appeared in Chinatown, many chefs tried to challenge the cooking method of this dish, but all of them failed without exception - Coke is for drinking, who would have thought that this thing can also be used to cook
And among these people, Nick Cheung is one of them.
In fact, he was very keen on challenging the high-energy chicken wings, but there had been no progress. But now Ye Chui took only three days to crack the recipe of this dish, which obviously aroused his dissatisfaction.
—Ye Chui was embarrassed to tell him that if he had drunk the Coke in Chinatown before, he would have been able to figure out how to make this dish within a minute of eating it…
At this moment, when Zhang Jiahui said this to Ye Chui, he obviously hoped to have a formal cooking competition with Ye Chui. It can be seen that he is a very brave and aggressive man.
However, Ye Chui smiled and said, "Sorry, I will visit Lin's Pot, but I have to wait for two more days. The next restaurant I want to challenge is not Lin's Pot, but Shen Jiao."
"Why?" Lin Li was a little confused. He exchanged glances with Mrs. Gao, Jiang Yuemei and Huang Yiyuan: the first restaurant Ye Chui challenged was Chen's Restaurant, which was the worst among the seven major hotels. According to the ranking of the seven major hotels, Peng's Restaurant could definitely be ranked second to last, so they all thought that Ye Chu was going to pick on the weak first. But no matter from which perspective, the third to last restaurant among the seven major hotels was definitely not Shen Jiao.
In fact, Shenjiao has a very high status. Among the top ten representative dishes, Shenjiao is ranked fourth, and Shenjiao Restaurant is ranked among the top three among the seven major restaurants.
I wonder if there is any hidden meaning behind the fact that the third restaurant Ye Chui is going to challenge is Shen Jiao
Several people looked at Ye Chui curiously at the same time.
Ye Chui laughed: "The road is just closer..."
Everyone: “…”
This guy challenged the restaurants in Chinatown, but he just chose the order based on proximity and distance
"Shen Jiao is very close to here. In fact, I plan to go over and take a look after I get out of here." Ye Chui continued with a smile, "Dumplings are a traditional Chinese delicacy. I know a lot about it. It's already noon. Since Shen Jiao is known as the most delicious dumplings in Chinatown, I also want to taste the flavor of these dumplings."
At this time, Peng Song came out of the kitchen with a dish. It was the strange-tasting chicken that he had deduced through molecular cooking. It was already ready.
He had a confident smile on his face, but from his eyes, one could tell that he was still very nervous. He walked over and said with a smile, "Master Ye, sorry to have kept you waiting. I have completely analyzed the ingredients of the strange-tasting chicken you made on Sanritian through molecular gastronomy, and then deduced this dish. Try it and see if it tastes exactly the same as what you made."
That being said, in reality, his molecular cuisine couldn't handle this dish at all. It felt like Ye Chu had made this weird dish to embarrass him, but he still had a bit of luck. After all, the bet was that if he lost, he wouldn't have to try to be mysterious with molecular cuisine...
In fact, to be fair, he didn't think molecular cuisine was anything special. However, the reason why Peng's Restaurant was ranked as one of the seven major restaurants in Chinatown was that the gimmick of molecular cuisine was indispensable, and he didn't want to lose this golden signboard.
However, his wish was obviously unfulfilled.
"This dish is very different from the one I made three days ago." Ye Chui took a breath and shook his head.
Peng Song was stunned, and said hurriedly: "Master Ye, what evidence do you have for what you said?"
There was no notary at their match three days ago. In fact, this was what surprised Peng Song. Ye Chui came here alone. What would Ye Chui do if he defaulted on his debt
What he was thinking at this moment was that even if he said that this dish was exactly the same as the one he had three days ago, what could Ye Chu do
But it was obvious that he was wrong about Ye Chui.
Is Ye Chui the kind of person who would do something unprepared
"In addition to the chicken, this dish also uses twenty kinds of spices, eighteen of which are the same as my weird-flavored chicken, but two are wrong, namely allspice and cinnamon. These two spices are often used in Western cuisine, but they are not used in authentic Chinese cuisine. Moreover, the taste of allspice is somewhat similar to cinnamon. How can two similar spices be put into one dish? This is simply unnecessary."
Peng Song, who had originally decided to shirk his responsibility, suddenly trembled all over.
He felt that not only the restaurant's reputation was at risk, but even the gimmick of molecular cuisine might be lost - using molecular cuisine to analyze the strange-tasting chicken, eighteen kinds of condiments were identified, but five of them could not be confirmed, and there was another one that he had no idea what it was.
When he was cooking just now, he added allspice and cinnamon on his own initiative, hoping to fool people, but he didn't expect Ye Chui to taste these two spices with very little ingredients just by taking a bite...
But this blow was not enough.
"In addition to the incorrect use of allspice and cinnamon, this dish is also missing six kinds of condiments, angelica, tangerine peel, galangal, hawthorn, and costus root. These condiments are all prepared in your kitchen, but the amount used is very small. However, these are also indispensable condiments for authentic strange-flavored chicken."
“This…this…” Peng Song was so shocked that he was speechless.
"Oh, there is another seasoning that you haven't used, but it is an indispensable ingredient in Chinese cuisine." Ye Chui continued with a smile, "It's called Sichuan pepper."
"There is no pepper in my kitchen!" Peng Song said hurriedly.
"Yeah, so I brought my own... You didn't say I couldn't bring my own condiments, did you?" Ye Chui said with a smile, and that smile made people want to rush up and punch him.
Peng Song stared at Ye Chui intently, but once again he was unable to utter a word.
Lin Li, Zhang, Huang Yiyuan, Gao's wife Jiang Yuemei listened to the conversation between Ye Chui and Peng Song, and they all became interested in the strange-tasting chicken. It was incredible that a dish contained more than 20 kinds of condiments. Such a dish... could it be eaten
Huang Yiyuan was the first to pick up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth, and the others followed suit.
This dish tastes very strange... It seems to contain all kinds of flavors, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, countless flavors but not crowded, forming a strange but absolutely delicious taste...
Among the five, Huang Yiyuan is a seven-star chef and gourmet, Zhang Jiahao is the head chef of Linjiabao and a seven-star chef, Jiang Yuemei is an eight-star chef, and although Mrs. Gao is not a chef, she has worked in this industry for decades. However, none of them have the tasting ability like Ye Chui, who can taste the detailed content of the seasoning in this dish.
This forced the five people to re-examine the young man.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I haven't told you..." Ye Chui suddenly seemed to have thought of something, turned around and pointed at Li Xiuyun standing next to him, then said to Peng Song, "This is Li Xiuyun, a special correspondent for China Food Weekly. Food Weekly is the most widely circulated food magazine in China, and it also has a wide readership in other parts of the world. I even saw this magazine for sale in Chinatown. This time, reporter Li came with me to Chinatown to record my trip to Chinatown."
After a pause, Ye Chui smiled as if he was even more pregnant.
"He's a journalist, as you know. It's his professional custom to record everything he does, so if Boss Peng wants to go back on our bet from three days ago, I'm afraid it won't work."
The reason why Ye Chui brought Li Xiuyun with him to Chinatown this time was not only to let him witness his trip to Chinatown, but also to let him, a media reporter, act as a notary, just like now. (~^~)
