Chapter 247 Serving the food
After initially solving the problem of the duck itself and the fish, Xiang Ling sent the duck into the oven and sat on the edge of the oven, always ready to adjust the size of the fire.
Of course, it is adjusted through elemental power.
Because the competition lasted for a long time, Bai Qiyun decided to make a dish first and try it to see if there was anything that needed improvement.
Not only them, except for Liuliting who wanted to carve a radish statue, the remaining two teams also planned to make it first to test the taste.
This is the right given to them by the game, and it is also their own wish.
"Ah, so boring."
Listening to the bored voice of the young man behind him, Xiangling's face suddenly darkened a bit.
This guy was resting there while he let her work.
The girl's vagina bulged up like a hamster at a speed visible to the naked eye, and deflated quickly like a punctured pufferfish.
"If you have time, why not come over and help look at the fire."
Xiangling turned her head and glanced at the young man behind her fiercely.
Stung by her gaze, the carefree Bai Qiyun retracted his legs from the bench and straightened his expression.
"I can't do this, right?"
If you want to control the fire, you must be a holder of the Eye of God.
Listening to Bai Qiyun's slightly perfunctory answer, Xiang Ling showed a disgusted expression.
But even if he took a step back, she wouldn't pursue it any further.
Pouting her lips, Xiangling got back into the business of adjusting the temperature of the roast duck.
Amidst the singing and dancing, the roast duck for the two of them was gradually approaching completion.
Seeing the area around the roast duck turn red in the elemental vision, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but remind him:
"It's almost ready."
Hearing the sound, Xiangling put on her gloves, took the roast duck out of the hot oven, and placed it on the plate that had been prepared long ago.
The aroma was tangy, and the rich aroma of oil wafted in the air, attracting the two of them to take a few more puffs.
The skin of the roast duck is golden, and when the knife is cut, the crispy sound makes Bai Qiyun think that he is not cutting duck, but bamboo slices.
Because the roast duck will not be cut when it is served later, Bai Qiyun does not use professional techniques for slicing the duck now, but just cuts it casually.
The blade of the knife grazed the duck skin, and the roasted fat smeared inside the skin, leaving a faint layer of white.
Where the fat and fish meat are connected, a touch of yellow and white meat paste firmly locks the fish meat in place, connecting the duck skin and fish meat into a whole, making up for the inconsistent feeling of later filling.
When dealing with the problem of connecting duck skin and fish meat, Bai Qiyun chose a minced meat paste made from potatoes and fish meat.
The aroma of potatoes itself is mixed with the taste of fish, completing the perfect transition between mountain delicacies and seafood.
When you enter the mouth, the crispy skin mixed with the aroma of duck fat bursts out in your mouth instantly, followed by the tenderness of the fish.
Thanks to Xiangling's control of the heat, the fish that had been grilled for a while did not look dry and even retained a certain amount of juice.
Compared with the original one-piece roast duck, Bai Qiyun's modified fish roast duck has a more diversified taste.
However, the roasted aroma and rich taste of duck meat cannot be replaced by fish.
Bai Qiyun was chewing the food in his mouth while thinking about how to make up for this.
Coincidentally, the other team members also showed thoughtful expressions after tasting the dishes they made.
"Hmm, something seems a little bad?"
Xiang Ling, who stuffed her mouth with roast duck, immediately realized the shortcomings of the dish.
"Um."
Because the fish meat needs to be filled into the original duck meat, even the plump fish meat has to be filled with two or even three layers of structure, so there will be a certain degree of fragmentation in the subsequent taste.
But compared to the difference between fish and duck meat, this separation is not a problem at all. The biggest problem is the difference in meat quality itself.
If it is not improved, then this dish is just a fish dish for the sake of fish, and it has completely lost the meaning of the dish itself.
But how can we make up the difference between the two?
Bai Qiyun scratched his head, feeling a little troubled.
Because roasting duck takes time, there is only one roasting time left before the competition is completed, which means there is no chance for trial and error.
"Is the risk significant?"
The young man pursed his dry lips and looked at the pile of raw materials aside.
He has an immature idea, but he might as well give it a try.

"Mr. Yun, it's time for the next one."
Behind the makeshift stage, a middle-aged man whispered a reminder to Yun Jin, who was finishing her makeup.
"Well, I understand. Let's arrange for Jinxiu and the others to go there first."
The girl holding the dressing mirror nodded and gave the arrangement instructions to the assistant beside her.
"good."
After the man left, the little maid who had been cowering next to her immediately came to Yun Jin's side and started chattering.
That oriole-like voice sounded extremely pleasant.
"Mr. Yun, is it really okay to sing all day long with your voice?"
Although Yun Jin does not appear in every play, it is still a bit reluctant for a young girl to go back and forth on stage with such high intensity.
However, with the blessing of God's Eye, Yun Jin will not have any problems in a short time.
Even in a costume, the earth-yellow gemstone hanging from his waist attracted many people's attention.
The God's Eye of Rock Element is more precious than all gems in the world, because it symbolizes the precipitation of all rock elements in the world.
"It doesn't matter, I have no problem."
After straightening the water gauze on her head, Yun Jin smiled, making the maids around her stunned for a moment.
No one can resist the beauty of Liyue idol.
People were singing and dancing on the stage, and the judges in the audience were talking about the contestants in front of them.
Because it is the finals, the judges of the competition have been expanded from the original Five Tigers to the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.
To put it simply, two special guests were added. One was Ke Qing who appeared as the organizer, and the other was Zhongli, the guest minister of the Palace of Life, who was famous in Liyue Port for his erudition.
Although Keqing does not study cooking as deeply as the others, she comes from a well-known family and has eaten a lot of delicacies since she was a child. She can be regarded as an experienced ordinary diner. Although she is not an excellent judge, she is not good either.
Disqualified.
Listening to the opera on the stage, Zhongli remained silent and closed his eyes to feel the rhythm of the opera itself.
Although they are not the Yun Jin people just now, these people are now quite high-level, and the experience is roughly the same as going to Heyu Tea House on weekdays.
"Mr. Zhongli, who do you think has a better chance of winning?"
Mr. Yuan, who was not very good at communicating with young people, took the initiative to chat with the men around him.
Although the people around him looked young, for some reason he always felt that Mr. Zhongli had traces of time passing by on his body, which made him unconsciously place the guest at the Hall of Purity into a position of the same age as himself.
"I think...well..."
Mr. Yuan's words swept away his interest in listening to the opera, but Zhongli didn't show any embarrassment. It would be better to say that listening to the opera was just a way to pass the time for him.
He rested his chin with his fingers and was about to say something when he saw the contestants' bench over there suddenly became noisy.
