Back home, Rourou and Yansha asked about the situation enthusiastically. Yin Caiju had not yet recovered from being carried back by Xiao Yueye, and her expression was a little demented. Yansha and Xiao Yueye looked at them and laughed secretly. wWw!QuanBen-XiaoShuo!CoM
After hearing what Xiao Yueye said, Rourou smiled softly, pulled Xiao Yueye's shoulders, and shook her: "Master, I seem to be eating that blossoming brocade!"
Yansha held her daughter's hand in her heart, pouting and saying, "Daddy, I want to eat your tofu!"
sweat! The word "eating tofu" is ambiguous!
There was no other way, so Xiao Yueye had no choice but to take Yin Caiju to the kitchen. The remaining two girls smiled a little sinisterly: "Sister, have you noticed? The way Sister Caiju looks like this, it's clear that she is attracted to the young master."
"Yes, and you can see that my husband was very skillful when he held Sister Caiju's hand. Let's work harder so that Sister Caiju can't run away. Hehe, we don't have to worry about not being able to eat delicious food in the future. ”
"Yeah, hehe."
There was a knock on the door, and it turned out to be Mrs. Xiao. She was holding a cup of tonic in her hand, and she didn't know what it was.
Looking at the smiles of the two women, Mrs. Xiao said with a smile: "You two girls, what are you planning again?"
Rourou hurriedly took the supplement from Mrs. Xiao's hand, and Yansha skillfully handed her daughter to her mother-in-law.
After hearing the plan of the two women, Mrs. Xiao smiled and shook her head: "You two! But having said that, I am also satisfied with the girl Caiju, and I am used to her food, and I really don't want to change it. You've done well, and I support you. But if this happens, I'll have to stew some supplements more often."
Only then did Rourou ask strangely: "Mom, what is this stew you are making? It tastes weird."
"Oh, a medley of sheep's whip, tiger's whip, riding whip."
. . . . . .
In the early morning of the next day, the cooking competition started again with the sound of gongs. This time there were significantly fewer people, with only eight finalists. And Xiao Yueyue appeared, and when they stood at their positions, several lines of sight "swiped" at them.
"...Okay, yesterday's match has been summarized. Let's start today's match. Speaking of which, the top eight are gathering today. Someone has already placed a bet at the entrance of the city. The one with the lowest odds currently is our Yin Caiju. Chef! What a feast for the eyes and mouth.
His nonsense is really intolerable. After finally waiting for him to finish scraping, the guy got to the point: "Okay, let's talk about today's requirements. Originally we asked you to use abalone as the material, but after discussion by the seven judges, they felt that abalone is generally a luxury product. Ordinary people can’t afford it. We who open restaurants serve the general public, so we change this abalone to carp! Time is a stick of incense, start now!”
Abalone changed to carp? Is this gap too big
Moreover, there are actually carp this season? It's really strange.
Xiao Yueye is only responsible for cutting and doesn't understand the rest. Yin Caiju thought for a moment, but did not take action. She just approached Xiao Yueye and asked doubtfully: "Brother Xiao, look at those cooks, why don't they take action? Are they always looking towards us? And those referees."
Patting her, Xiao Yueye whispered: "Don't worry, it's their business. We just cook our own food."
There are several cooking methods for cooking carp, including braised, steamed, fried, etc. Many people choose steaming because this maintains the original flavor of the fish.
Yin Caiju didn't. She pressed the belly of the fish with her hands and quickly decided on her cooking method.
"Brother Xiao, I leave the fish to you. You need to cut it into slices." After Yin Caiju gave the instructions, she picked out the other ingredients she needed. In cooking, the selection of ingredients is very important. Good chefs basically like to choose their own ingredients so as to ensure the taste.
Xiao Yueye doesn't care what Yin Caiju is doing, he only needs to be responsible for what he needs. The first step is to scale the fish. Many people like to use special scale scraping tools, but this is not the case. For chefs, using their most familiar kitchen knife to scrape the scales can ensure the integrity of the fish skin, which is very important for appearance and taste.
That's what Xiao Yueye did. It is really easy for him to hold the fish tail upside down and hang off the fish scales. But what he is most comfortable with is not the kitchen knife, but Biyesi.
The corner of her mouth curled up, and Xiao Yueye said in a low voice: "Master, master, don't blame me!"
The thumb and middle finger of his right hand gently opened, forming a green arc of light. Xiao Yueye placed the carp horizontally on the chopping board, opened and retracted his right hand, and "stroked" the fish back and forth. Those fish scales fell off one after another as the green flash across the palm of his hand.
In the eyes of other people who pay attention to Xiao Yueye, Xiao Yueye is simply a god! He touched the fish back and forth with his hand, and the scales actually fell off.
Especially the little boy, the idea became more firm in his mind. This chef is not a human being, he knows magic!
But Xiao Yueye didn't care about this, he was just secretly thankful. Fortunately, Qiu Ziyun wasn't here. Otherwise, if he saw Xiao Yueye using "Bi Ye Si" to scrape his scales, he would have been so angry that he would have slapped this wasteful guy to death!
After the fish scales were scraped, Xiao Yueye touched them with her hands. They were good and smooth. Next comes the offal.
Taking out the fish's internal organs with his hands and throwing them aside, Xiao Yueye then removed the fins and gills. These are very common steps, so Xiao Yueye did it very normally, but it was just a little faster.
After the fish was washed and the water was purified, Xiao Yueye made a slash on both sides of the fish's belly and handed the fish to Yin Caiju. Yin Caiju was still looking for ingredients at this time. She pointed at the ingredients on the table and ordered: "Wash the fat pork, lily slices, and mushrooms, cut them into cubes, and make them the size of the head of a chopstick."
Xiao Yueye didn't say anything, took it and washed it quickly. Ordinary people cut it into cubes, which may be different sizes, but Xiao Yueye was different. He put the pork on the chopping board, pinched it everywhere with his hands, and looked at the texture of the pork carefully before starting to do it.
This time, he still used push cutting. According to the grain of the pork, Xiao Yueye did not use any fancy method. He just put the knife across the pork, and then moved his right hand fiercely, bringing out streaks of light. The boy who was watching from the side still felt that his eyes were blurred and he couldn't see anything clearly.
This time, it was not just the servants who were shocked, but also those who were observing secretly, especially the seven judges.
"Is that human being?"
Snapped his fingers: "Done!"
The small piece of fatty pork is all 70% fat, and the 30% lean meat is cut into chopstick-sized dices, while the mushrooms and lily slices are even easier to eat.
Xiao Yueye picked up a handful and threw it into the air, then whistled and waved the knife in his hand without looking.
When they fell onto the plate, they were all dices of the same size!
Yin Caiju had already found the materials she needed and sorted them out by category. Seeing Xiao Yueye's ostentatious appearance, she smiled, but felt an inexplicable sense of pride.
It's as if her husband is in the limelight and his wife is happy.
"What to do next?" Xiao Yueye's culture woke her up.
Oops, Yin Caiju, what are you thinking about? Now we are competing!
She shook her head vigorously, threw away all the random thoughts in her mind, and threw some green garlic to Xiao Yueye: "One inch."
Xiao Yueye took it, cut off the head and tail, "brushed" it a few times, and finished it according to Yin Caiju's request. This sword skill is enough to make everyone present feel ashamed and find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
After chopping onions, garlic and the like, Xiao Yueye had nothing to do.
"Okay, what's next?"
"Light the fire and strike."
Xiao Yueye didn't mention it for the moment, but Yin Caiju started to get busy quickly. She only had one stick of incense, so she had to be quick!
Sit into the stir-fry pan and pour in peanut oil. When it is 70% hot, Yin Caiju grabs the fish tail and puts the fish in. Carefully pour the oil on it and flip the fish body over. Take it out when it is fried to a light yellow color and put it aside. On the net bag, control the oil.
It's still a stir-fry pot, but this time cooked lard is used. Yin Caiju put the bean paste she brought with her into the pot and stir-fried it. When the oil turned red, she picked up the clear soup and was about to pour it in.
At this time, Xiao Yueye's hand was in front of hers: "I'll do it, how much will you pour?"
Yin Caiju was stunned, and then she felt sweet in her heart: "Well, that's enough."
The water was slowly boiling, Yin Caiju was watching the heat, and Xiao Yueye was cleaning the pot.
After taking out the bean paste, Yin Caiju reached out to take the stir-fry pot from Xiao Yueye's hand, but thought in her heart: "The two of us work together really well."
Xiao Yueye didn't feel this way. There were only two stir-fry pots in total, and there were still so many that were not cooked. They definitely needed to be cleaned.
This time, a small amount of peanut oil was poured in. When it was 50% hot, Yin Caiju put in the diced fat pig, magnolia slices and shiitake mushrooms and stir-fried. With a sizzling sound, a lot of oily smoke came out. Xiao Yueye stood aside and calmly waved his right hand, releasing bursts of internal energy and blowing all the oil smoke to the side.
Turning the large spoon in her hand, Yin Caiju added cooking wine, refined salt, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, scallions, and ginger into the pot. A tangy aroma suddenly came to her face. After stir-frying for a while, she controlled the carp oil. Put it in the pot, and then pour the original soup of fried bean paste into the pot.
"Okay, let's wait for him to boil."
Xiao Yueyue took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped Yin Caiju's sweat. The autumn tiger was so powerful that the room was tightly closed again. In addition, the stove was full of cooking, and Yin Caiju's face was covered with sweat.
She was originally going to wipe it with her sleeve, but Xiao Yueye stretched out her hand.
When Xiao Yueye's hand touched her face through the handkerchief, Yin Caiju blushed again. Fortunately, it was a hot day, so she thought it was from the heat. However, Xiao Yueye still felt that this girl had straight eyes and a hard body, looking at Xiao Yueye dreamingly.
Xiao Yueye stretched out her hand and swore that he was really not teasing the little girl, but no one would believe it. In this age where men and women are not treated lightly, if you two had nothing, how could you be so intimate in public.
I sighed in my heart, not knowing what to say now. He doesn't deny that he is good-looking to Yin Caiju, but this is not love yet! There is no way he would marry someone else's little girl home just because he thinks he can eat delicious food in the future. This is too selfish and shameless!
"The water is boiling." Xiao Yueye shouted and quickly changed the subject.
Yin Caiju said "Oh" and hurriedly turned her mind to the dishes. She squatted down and took out a few fire sticks, and the fire suddenly became smaller.
Covering the pot, Yin Caiju said: "Simmer over low heat for about two-quarters of an hour."
For the next two quarters of an hour, neither of them knew what to say. Xiao Yueye was afraid that the more he talked, the more this girl would misunderstand him. He was not a fool, so how could he not see this girl's affection for him. However, he always felt that his motives were impure. He considers himself not a good person, but if he also lies to the woman he wants to live with for the rest of his life, then he is not considered a human being.
Yin Caiju, on the other hand, is a shy daughter and doesn't know what to say.
Time passed like this bit by bit.
But in the eyes of others, these two people, with their eyes closed, look like masters, which is really admirable!
About two-quarters of an hour passed. Yin Caiju added another fire stick and the fire became stronger. There are only a few finishing touches left for this dish. The fish can be placed on the fish plate after the juice is reduced over high heat.
The last thing is to stir-fry the green garlic and put it on the fish, which looks very good.
Yin Caiju controlled the time very well. After she raised her hand to indicate that she was finished, the host sounded the time gong.
"time up!"
This time the top eight finished on time.
Those who can enter the top eight must be said to be masters. One of them cut fish into shreds and made fish noodles all night long. It was really amazing.
All in all, Yin Caiju's burning method is quite satisfactory.
It's the finale again, I don't know if the referee did it on purpose or if the order was originally like this. When Xiao Yueye's plate of "Carp Leaping over the Dragon Gate" was served, the seven referees ate it without any concern for the image.
"Wow, everyone, look, now our chef Yin Caiju, who has the lowest odds, is making the carp leaping over the dragon gate. Looking at the postures of the seven judges, you can tell that it is very delicious. It made me drool a lot! Okay! , I’ve finished eating, please leave a review!”
"The fish meat is very authentic and tender, and the shortcomings of aging fish meat in this season are completely avoided. Among the eight contestants, except for the shredded fish noodles from the night before, this was the only dish that noticed."
"That's right, and the added diced pork, mushrooms, and lilies create a unique taste, which makes the fish exude a refreshing fragrance. It really leaves a fragrance on your cheeks and teeth!"
"The green garlic is also very good. It has a unique taste when eaten with fish."
"The most important thing is that this dish completely brings out the smoothness and freshness of the fish. It's great!"
"We all agree that this carp leaping over the dragon gate is qualified!"
Xiao Yueye and Yin Caiju were not surprised and did not care about the jealous looks of other contestants.
After they left, when the seven referees were discussing what to do next, suddenly a man came forward and said a few words in a low voice, and the expressions of the seven people changed.
"Isn't this too childish?"
"Oh, it's just what the old man wanted, so let's do it like this." (QuanBen Novel Network www.QuanBen-XiaoShuo.com)
