Precise, smooth and skillful knife skills are the most basic skills for any spiritual chef. To judge whether the knife is solid or not, it depends on its speed and the appearance of the ingredients after processing.
Chen Xi's speed was very fast, so fast that most of the spiritual chefs present felt ashamed and felt inferior.
But the most important thing is the appearance of the ingredients after processing. They are as thin as cicada wings and as silky as catkins. Even the carvings seem to open up a world in a small space, which is perfect and beautiful to the extreme.
It can even be described with the word "perfection".
And this is what moved and shocked the chef present the most!
As we all know, whether you are slicing, shredding, or carving food, it is not only for the sake of pleasing the eyes, but more importantly, doing so can make the food easier to taste. Especially for some meats that are full of energy, carving on the surface can make the food more delicious. Reiki is more easily absorbed.
Obviously, Chen Xi has reached a terrifying level in handling ingredients!
This scene alone made the expressions of all the spiritual chefs present become much more serious and solemn, and the disapproval in their hearts was gradually replaced by expectations.
Handling ingredients is only the first step in cooking delicious dishes. In this step, Chen Xi's performance can be said to have given them an unexpected surprise.
They couldn't wait to see how Chen Xi cooked dishes, such as the combination of seasonings, the control of spiritual fire, the use of kitchen utensils... and so on.
Master Yong stopped talking. He was holding a bottle of wine and drinking wine. He seemed to be content, but his pair of sleepy eyes were staring closely at Chen Xi's every move. The suspicion in his eyes at the beginning gradually turned into Surprise, admiration, surprise... until now, expectations.
Shopkeeper Huang and Bai Gunan opened their mouths so wide that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Among the people present, they were the only two who could be regarded as laymen, but their eyesight was not bad. From Chen Xi's series of skillful and flowing movements, they could tell that if this guy had never been a Chef Ling, even if I beat them to death, they wouldn’t believe it!
Chen Xi started cooking.
He seemed not to have noticed the subtle changes in the atmosphere around him, with a focused and peaceful expression. He waved his hand casually, and hundreds of ingredients were divided into dozens of batches, like streaks of silver pulp leaking to the ground, or being soaked in stone milk spiritual liquid. Either they were conceived in various spiritual fluids, or they fell directly into the iron pot.
Then, he lit the spiritual fire, controlled the kitchen utensils, and at the same time carefully sensed the changes in the spiritual fire with his spiritual consciousness.
Chi!
A wisp of snow-white grease boiled from the flesh of the silver-scaled shark was poured into the iron pot, making a sizzling sound and exuding a strong fragrance.
Soon, several more ingredients were added to the pot one by one by Chen Xi, green, red, white, green... the colors were bright and pleasing to the eye.
"What kind of food is he cooking?" Bai Gu Nanguang couldn't help but swallowed his saliva as he sniffed the diffuse fragrance, and couldn't help but ask.
"If I read it correctly, it should be a dish called Langdie Hongqiao. Non-Wuye Ling chefs cannot cook it because the ingredients and spiritual fire used have extremely picky requirements and are extremely difficult." Shopkeeper Huang pondered. road.
"Uh, how come I haven't heard of it?" Bai Gunan asked in surprise. Although he is not an expert chef, he is the most hedonistic young man. He has tasted all kinds of delicacies and special delicacies, but he has never heard of it. This is the saying that the waves overlap the Hongqiao.
"This dish is for the diet of Jindan monks. Among many dishes, it is not very precious, but in comparison, it is indeed the most troublesome dish to cook. The ingredients used alone have different properties and number in the hundreds. There are thousands of cooking steps, and Chef Wu Yeling is unwilling to cook this dish unless forced. Naturally, few people care about the name Langdie Hongqiao."
Shopkeeper Huang talked eloquently and knew many things from home. It can be seen that he is not a restaurant manager for nothing. Although he is not a cook, he knows the steps required to cook various dishes.
"One more thing you didn't mention is that this dish is a dish that a qualified spiritual chef must master. In the spiritual chef's inheritance, this dish is often used to evaluate the disciples he has recruited. "
Master Yong suddenly said, his expression at this time was already a little complicated. Since Chen Xi knew the cooking steps of Langdie Hongqiao, he must not be from a wild background, and he must have practiced orthodox cooking skills before.
This really surprised him, because he also never expected that a peerless genius like Chen Xi would have ever been engaged in the profession of spiritual chef. If this was spread, few people would believe it.
"Langdie Hongqiao... What is this guy doing when he is cooking this dish? Is he trying to gain recognition from the spiritual chefs present?" Master Yong was puzzled.
The other spiritual chefs were also puzzled, but soon, their minds were attracted by Chen Xi's extremely skillful cooking skills, and they could no longer think about anything else.
At this moment, the entire kitchen hall was silent. All eyes were fixed on Chen Xi. Seeing his dazzling cooking techniques, everyone was in awe.
If they had doubts about Chen Xi's cooking skills before, now, their hearts were gradually convinced by everything Chen Xi showed.
Regarding all this, Chen Xi seemed as if he had never heard of it.
He was immersed in his own world, as if he had returned to his youth, to the days when he studied cooking with Old Man Ma at Qingxi Restaurant.
Time flies, those years no longer exist, and there is no news from those familiar people, but everything learned during those days is like old wine sealed in the blood. The longer it takes, the more mellow it ferments.
It's a pity that no matter how mellow the old wine is and how strong the taste is, there is no one who can drink it with it.
Therefore, he can only pay tribute in this way now, with a wave over the Rainbow Bridge, to pay tribute to Old Man Ma, Pei Pei and Qiao Nan who have not been heard from until now.
This dish is a dish that the spiritual chef tests his disciples.
And he is also using this dish to express his feelings to those familiar people in his youth, as a solace for his soul.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Chen Xi's work came out of the pot, on the white jade plate, baked by the Yin Juling fire, and in the sky above the dishes with all the colors and aromas, snow-white waves piled up one after another, rolling endlessly, and colorful and gorgeous rainbow bridges rose up.
At the same time, a refreshing and alluring fragrance spread out, just like a lover taking off the gauze covering his face, revealing that thrilling and peerless face, which was shocking.
Everyone was shocked and speechless. Some people with superb eyesight, such as Master Yong, tasted a little difference from the fragrance and spiritual power emanating from this dish.
It was this slight difference that made him feel shocked.
If he guessed correctly, the Wave Overlapping Rainbow Bridge was different from what he had known before. Both the taste and the spiritual power it contained had undergone a qualitative transformation!
If the Langdie Hongqiao cooked by other spiritual chefs is an earth-level elixir, then what Chen Xi cooks is a heaven-level elixir. That is a qualitative difference!
Master Yong couldn't figure out how Chen Xi achieved this step, but he knew deeply that the ability of a talented chef to complete this most complicated dish to such an extent was enough to be called extremely amazing. !
At this time, Chen Xi had retreated from the kitchen counter, his expression was calm, his eyes were deep and indifferent, and his whole person's temperament became more earthly and ethereal.
Although he only cooked one dish, Chen Xi had put a lot of thought into it. The moment he finished it, it was like opening a knot in the deepest part of his heart, and his energy and spirit were released like never before.
"Let me taste it first!"
Bai Gunan was the first to break the silence. He hurriedly came to the kitchen counter, picked up the chopsticks and started to move his mouth. He was really curious about what the dishes cooked by Chen Xi looked like.
The most important thing is that when he thinks that he can actually taste the dishes made by Chen Xi himself, he feels an uncontrollable excitement all over his body. The taste is secondary, the key is that he can brag about it with others in the future!
This is a dish cooked by Chen Xi, who is famous all over the world. Who in the spiritual world can have such a good taste
Bai Gunan was very sure that as long as he told this matter to his friends, he would definitely attract a lot of envious eyes.
"Mmm, yummy! So damn delicious!"
Just after taking the first bite, Bai Gunan felt a unique umami flavor instantly spread into his mouth. His tongue trembled slightly, as if he was electrocuted. It felt numb and smooth. The taste was very different from ordinary, delicious and refreshing, and smooth and smooth. , wonderful to the extreme.
Then, Bai Gunan completely ignored his manners, held the plate in his arms, and ate happily until his mouth was full of oil and he cried out happily.
Chen Xi couldn't help but glance at this guy. He knew in his heart that although the dish was delicious, it would not make this dandy young master who has tasted all the delicacies in the world act like this.
In other words, this guy is indirectly using this dish to flatter himself, and at the same time, he is also showing off to the spiritual chefs around him.
Realizing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart. Everyone knew that this guy was arrogant and domineering, but who knew that deep down, he was also a thoughtful person
"Little friend Chen Xi, I apologize to you for my rashness just now." At this moment, Master Yong suddenly looked serious and solemn, and bowed to Chen Xi to apologize.
When the other spiritual chefs nearby saw this, they all opened their eyes in shock. They didn't expect Master Yong to apologize to a young man with such a grand ceremony. This was unique for Master Yong.
Chen Xi raised his hand to support Master Yong: "Senior, what's wrong with me? Just now, it was my junior who was a little too arrogant."
Master Yong shook his head, took out a palm-sized black crystal jade token from his arms, and handed it to Chen Xi: "In order to make up for my fault, please accept this token."
Everyone was shocked and showed disbelief. It seemed that they had not expected that Master Yong would actually hand over such a precious thing to Chen Xi!
