Chapter 628: Before the Peak (Part 2)
The flour is kneaded with cold water and a small amount of salt. This is a typical "dead face". It has white color, tendons and strong toughness. It is usually used for pasta.
In fact, in front of the TV, the audience with a little cooking skills looked at the flour used by Zhu Qing and distinguished by the color, you can know that it is high-gluten flour. Especially when you see Zhu Qing kneading eggs, it increases the protein content of the dough, which is more certain.
"Huh!"
At this time, Zhu Qing stopped and took out a pair of silver-shiny chopsticks from an exquisite leather cover. She used her hands to rub the dough with cleverness. Just when people were wondering what she used to take the chopsticks, bang!
The silver chopsticks suddenly inserted into the white dough, and then Zhu Qing's wrists hung up and shook them. The whole dough flew around with the silver chopsticks and landed on the cooking table.
This is the first rotation.
Before the audience could discuss, the silver chopsticks shook again, so the dough flew up and then descended...
After circulating several times, Zhu Qing smiled with a pretty face, and she seemed calm. Every two or three seconds the silver chopsticks on her hand would cause the dough to rotate.
Xia Yu's face gradually became solemn.
Other chefs who have seen the trick are also in a weird mood.
"This feeling of déjà...why does it feel like Chef Xia is 'drawing a circle'?" A voice fell in the competition hall where the air suddenly became cold and silent, attracting a series of echoes. People immediately remembered the familiar scene after reminding.
Draw a circle!
Xia Yu nodded slightly.
Even if Chef Lin is not a white desk who specializes in pastries, his attainments in some fields are no lower than those of a specialist. At least, when Zhu Qing showed his skills a little, Xia Yu felt pressured: "It turns out that my aunt can draw circles!"
In "China One", the legendary pastry king Luo Gen said: The larger the circle you can draw, the deeper the pastry skills you have.
Zhu Qing’s tool for kneading dough is not a pastry stick, but two thin silver chopsticks.
A large ball of dough was thrown around by silver chopsticks.
"Wow"
The tight white dough suddenly turned into a white pie. Zhu Qing was in the center of pie. His pretty face had a calm smile that he didn't usually have, but the dead chopsticks flew like an elf in her hands, overlapping with a lively afterimage.
So, there were white streamers at the cooking table, rolling around, resembling white tornados.
Affected by the movement and still, Tsai Bochi Ichiro, who was cutting lotus root slices, slowed down and glanced at the cooking table behind him, and then murmured in an audible voice: "It seems that I can't take off my hind legs, either..."
He used ordinary visible olive oil to take the pan and heat the pan, and there was nothing worth talking about in detail. Then he put the sliced lotus root and burdock into the pan and fry until golden and crispy.
Then, Chiao Ichiro took the second pan, but this time, what he used to heat the pan was not ordinary grease, the oil was dark yellow and there was a spicy flavor of Shuchuan.
This is sesame oil!
Seeing him using sesame oil, fried rusty pieces, and carrots, there were whispers in the competition hall.
"The division of labor is very clear!" Xia Yu praised.
"One makes soup and the other knead dough can indeed be called collaboration..." Jin Tiansun's strange words came from behind, "Hey, I said, Chef Xia, why are you very surprised? Could it be that in the past few days, Chef Zhu and Chef Caibo's practices have not been seen? Or, they closed the door and secretly discussed and practiced them without hiding them? This is unlikely..."
Xia Yu's mouth twitched, "Because I'm also busy developing my own new dishes, so how can I have time to care about them."
“New dish?”
Jintian Shun was shocked and retracted his sight from the field. Obviously, he was more concerned about the so-called new dish in Xia Yu's mouth, "Are you skipping the second round and preparing for the final battle in advance?"
Next to the side, tulips and Harumi Ishino pricked up her ears.
Xia Yu just smiled and didn't answer.
Prepare in advance? You must also match the question. Promote Haikou to be a good candidate for a certain degree. At this time, you should keep silent and seek a wave of character.
...
Zhu Qing and Chiao Ichiro's intense cooperation are just a microcosm of the scene.
Other participating groups also have their own outstanding performances.
No. 2 cooking desk.
Li Han was sweating all over. There was a small charcoal stove on the table in front of him. He was using a palm-leaf fan, carefully controlling the heat like a decocting medicine. On the stove was a sand pot shaped like a medicine jar. The water was rolling inside, and a ball of white ingredients were floating in the boiling water.
The girl Lin Chulan Chuhan used a basket under the faucet and rinsed the freshly soaked white bird's nest with clean water. After rinsing it over and over again, the bird's nest was still hot when it was just out of the pot. She drained the water and used her plain white fingers to tear the soaked bird's nest one by one, tearing a ball of ingredients into thin strips, and put it in a large blue and white bowl for later use.
"Bird's nest?"
Seeing the ingredients and cooking process, there was no place worth exploring and learning. Xia Yu took away his sight and observed the No. 3 cooking table.
The giant Lei Zhe and the female special chef who is suspected to have anesthesia food cells are dealing with a kind of meat that emits a strong aroma of wine. This is the meat of the Jiushenlong. Obviously, the pterosaur that was slaughtered on the scene in the first round was again on the stage, but in this round, Lei Zhe took the meat to cook, not blood.
In fact, the topic of "Shangshan" and "Ruoshui" is not very beneficial to the two participating teams of the Food Club.
After all, Lei Zhe and Di Sani are both Lin giants in Western cuisine. From a cultural point of view, it is difficult to understand the best of the best. On the other hand, Chef Shibalin focuses on ingredients, and the meaning of food is exactly the weakness of this group. It is not impossible to use Shiba to match the question, but it is difficult.
"Jiu Shenlong? There are not many food resources for this kind of food. Without ingredients, even if you learn recipes secretly, it is useless. There is no need to waste your fame value [Super Vision] and copy it..." Xia Yu's eyes flashed.
The eyes moved backwards to the No. 4 cooking table.
Tangshan, Tang Yuqiong is here.
“Huh…”
Xia Yu was surprised.
A water tank was placed on the table. Tang Yuqiong wore protective gloves and tightened her face and carefully took out a colorful fish from it. The fish body was only half a meter long, and the skin color was strange. The scales were also very conscious of the smoothness of the fish, but they were like stones, rugged and concave. If the camera had not given the close-up, it could barely identify the fish's lips, eyes, and a rough outline of a face, the audience would probably think it was a stone.
clang! clang! clang! clang!
The cooking table where Tang Yuqiong was buried, sparks flew everywhere, which caused surprise.
"Is this a stone fish?"
Xia Yu was also stunned.
"It's not an ordinary stone fish, ancient stone fish, in terms of deliciousness and rareness, it is no less than some golden taboo ingredients!" Jintian Shun said, and the food hunter in his eyes discovered the hot flash of the treasure.
The female chef was holding the "Tang Mandarin Duck Knife" that Xia Yu was familiar with. This is a pair of good-quality knives. It has been passed down for a hundred years. It was created by Tang Sanjie, the ancestor of the Tang family, and it was handed down from generation to generation that only the most talented people from the middle-aged and young generation of direct descendants are qualified to hold it. Tang Yuqiong used the mandarin Duck Knife to "slim" the ancient stone fish. The two swords seemed to be chaotic, and stone-like debris suddenly flew out.
After a while, there were many exclamations.
The unpretentious stone fish actually had a big transformation. After removing the excess on its body, the delicate fish body was left. This fish body flowed with a mysterious luster under the lights of the venue, just like a work of art that was suffocating.
Next, it was the process of removing cheeks and removing internal organs. Tang Yuqiong's pretty face was sweating, and she didn't care to wipe it. She removed the big dragon bones of the fish body, and then placed two large pieces of delicate meat on the chopping board, waving her knife like rain!
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
Cut the fish into mud with two swords!
Ten minutes later, the fish paste was put into the conditioning basin, and Tang Yuqiong took ten yolk eggs. One egg was comparable to 4 or 5 ordinary eggs. She broke the egg and mixed it into the fish paste. But she stepped back and found a towel to wipe her sweat. The following process was handed over to Tangshan, the giant Lin, which is a typical relay cooperation model.
Seeing this, Xia Yu looked extremely solemn.
"Each one, you're all serious!"
Xia Yu couldn't help but sweat secretly for Zhu Qing and Chiao Ichiro's ramen dish presented later.
Others are extraordinary in terms of basic ingredients. The so-called "smart women cannot cook without rice". In terms of food use, Xia Yu's concept is actually close to that of Western cuisine chefs. Of course, it is not said that Chinese cuisine chefs do not pay attention to the quality of ingredients. For example, Cantonese cuisine pays great attention to the word "fresh".
He was already considering that if he could not advance to the final sword battle, what path should he use to obtain legendary kitchen utensils in the future? After all, the system upgrades and unlocks the legendary mall, it is full of temptation when he hears it.
But after thinking about it, Xia Yu found that such a competition was the simplest and most crude way to obtain it.
It would be fine if the Jade Dragon Pot was left overseas.
If he wants to get the remaining pieces of the Eight Legendary Kitchenware in the future, he will definitely come to challenge the big families and giants who hold kitchenware. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a food halberd that will weigh all their wealth.
"I hope to win the next place!" Xia Yu's eyes wandered and turned around and returned to the No. 1 cooking table. At this time, Zhu Qing had covered the dough with a wet cloth and had about 15 minutes of waiting time to wake up. When Chiuchi Ichiro took out a few pieces of white fermented ingredients, sprinkled with a bright yellow and sticky sauce, and wrapped it with a layer of too white powder...
"Tianbei!"
There was a voice on the side saying that Harumi Ishino pointed out the snacks that Chichiichiro was dealing with.
"Well, a soybean fermented food originated from Indonesia, white cake-shaped. It became popular in Indonesia more than 400 years ago. It is considered a regional specialty food. It is rich in protein and can be used as a substitute for meat..." Jintian Shun echoed.
"Is this the favorite food for vegetarians?" Tulips have questions.
"Could it be..."
Several people looked at each other in surprise, and the word "vegetarian" was the key. Including Xia Yu, his heart was beating. He roughly guessed the style of Zhu Qing and Ichiro Tsaibo's collaboration ramen works.
Ten** is vegetarian ramen!
"The topic is the best, Ruoshui. Although vegetarianism is a kind of dietary attitude that is not dirty, indifferent and natural, they are too pursuing vegetarianism, and they will be beaten by other combinations of dishes in terms of ingredients without any power to fight back!" Xia Yu was immediately pessimistic.
no way.
