Chapter 121 The Divine Chef!(1/2)
(Notice everyone, this chapter says it has been restored)
Several judges crowded in the back kitchen and watched Zhou Dong closely. Among them, Dong Qishen and Huang Mingju were the most attentive. Their eyes followed Zhou Dong, just like a father paying attention to his son.
Although they were all looking at Zhou Dong, Shen Gongdao felt hairy all over his body. Xiao Zhou must have provoked these old men. Why did he feel that something was not right?
Zhou Dong, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened, standing beside the chopping board with his head held high, his eyes seemed to be open but not open, seemed to be closed but not closed, his expression was indifferent, Yue Zhiyuan stopped, and he had the demeanor of a general.
At the moment he is talking to the system.
Just now, when he was about to handle the ingredients, the system suddenly prompted: 'The host needs to know that in the face of five picky authoritative judges, the single high-tech experience of fried and crispy cannot guarantee that you will get a perfect score.
The system estimates that you will have a 70% chance of getting 90 points, a 50% chance of getting 95 points... a 10% chance of getting full marks..."
"Only a 10% chance of getting full marks? Are you telling me now, is it too late?"
Zhou Dong was so angry that he said all the big words, now you give me this? I wonder if the most unacceptable thing for patients with bipolar disorder is to be embarrassed in public, do you think I am sick?
"What is Zhou Dong doing? Why hasn't he done anything for a long time?"
Huailiangren was getting impatient and was waiting for Zhou Dong's oily double crunch to come out quickly so that he could find fault and win the game.
"Be patient and don't be impatient. As the saying goes, 'cooking a small dish is like governing a big country.' Anyone who governs a country should be cautious and make decisions before taking action?
Before cooking, you need to calm down and concentrate. This is the attitude a top chef should have!"
As if he was afraid that Zhou Dong would be disturbed by his mistress, Huang Mingju spoke with a half-reprimanded tone.
Huailiang snorted and didn't answer. Facing an old man like Huang Mingju, he didn't dare to be arrogant.
Huang Mingju scolded the beloved man and looked at each other silently with Dong Qishen. Both of them were extremely happy in their hearts.
He should be 'junior brother', that's right. I still remember when my mentor was a chef, every time before he made a move, he would behave like Zhou Dong at the moment. That stance, that temperament, those half-closed eyes...
It’s simply the same origin!
Once you taste the fried double crispy dish of 'Little Junior Brother', you can basically determine his identity; because their mentor also made this dish back then, and the taste is still fresh in their memory, their mentor once said
, that fried double crispy dish is considered a chef-level dish!
Shen Gongdao also had a really bad time. First, he made Lu Zhiwei very unhappy with the dish of "Straps to the Court", and then he met Huang Mingju and Dong Qishen who had tasted the "Double Crispy" by the master chef. To have the score he has now, it was already a long time ago.
Thank you Zhou Dong for helping me, otherwise it would have been even worse.
"Reminder to the host, You Bao Shuang Crisp has three opportunities to experience a single high skill. If the host requires a 100% chance of success, the three opportunities to experience a single high skill can be converted into a master chef level experience. For this, you only need to pay another thousand
Appreciation is enough."
“A chef-level experience?”
Zhou Dong's heart skipped a beat. The experience was very different from Goubuli's kind of direct skill. The last time he entered the chopping board for the first time, he spent two thousand appreciation points to experience a perfect knife skill. Although he couldn't directly Having this level of swordsmanship will obviously be helpful when practicing swordsmanship in the future.
This is the benefit of improving one's horizons. After seeing many of the top five martial arts in the world, wouldn't it be easy to go back and understand the third-rate methods of the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River?
For example, although he has now been upgraded to master-level knife skills, it only means that the basic skills have reached the master level. However, in addition to the basic skills, the chef should also have sufficient experience and knowledge, which corresponds to the 'carving skill', which becomes particularly important.
If he has a master chef level experience, even if it cannot improve his basic level, it can broaden his horizons and improve his imagination. This is even more important than improving his basic level!
"Since it's not a loss-making deal, I accept it and use three individual high-skill experience opportunities to convert it into a magic chef-level experience opportunity!"
"The host is selected and a thousand appreciation points will be deducted... Before the host completes this 'Double Crispy', he will have the basic skills, vision, imagination and aura of a god chef... ..”
Zhou Dong suddenly opened his eyes.
"This...this is the feeling of a mentor!"
Dong Qishen and Huang Mingju's eyes suddenly widened. The 'junior brother' in their eyes suddenly changed his temperament. From a young genius, he quickly acquired the aura of Yue Zhiyuan's master, and his aura continued to increase, rushing towards the person they once had. A very familiar area, but haven’t seen it for many years!
Just like his mentor back then, everything he does is in harmony with nature. Any ingredient in his hands will play a perfect role. When he stands in front of the stove, there is no difficult dish in the world.
That's not cooking at all, but the secret of the road! 'Cooking fresh food is like governing a big country, and governing a big country will break the world'.
This... this is the aura that only a divine chef can have!
Yi Zhiyu and Lu Zhiwei were all shocked and stared at Zhou Dong.
Huai Liangren looked at a loss. After all, he was young and had never seen the demeanor of 'Master Hu' back then. However, as a culinary genius rarely seen in a century, his instinct told him that he might not be a simple opponent in front of him. But a high mountain!
Swipe, swipe, swipe, the sword shines like snow.
The light of the knife rises from the chopping board and shines in the air, like an antelope hanging its horns. There is no trace to be found. In just a blink of an eye, the most difficult to deal with, the pork belly and chicken gizzards have been cut into pieces. The gaps between the linen flower knives are reasonable and the ingredients are added. Extremely mysterious!
So the reason for adding mysterious ingredients is because the bottom is too thick, one millimeter thicker than what Shen Gongdao left before when he made the fried double crisp!
Lu Zhiwei is a master of Shandong cuisine. He came over and took one look at it and exclaimed: "The key to making the double crisp is to leave the bottom. The deeper the hemp knife is inserted into the ingredients, the less difficult the dish will be, and vice versa." big.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Real chefs often pursue thick bottom to ensure a crispy taste, but Chef Xiao Zhou has broken through the limit of bottom. Is he trying to create another limit? ?”
Huang Mingju rolled his eyes at him: "This is worth your shouting, just be patient and watch."
My 'junior brother' cooks, what do you want to say randomly? If the junior brother thinks that the base should be thicker, it must be reasonable. What do you, Lao Lu, know?
Now Dong Qishen and he were 90% sure that Zhou Dong was his junior brother, so naturally they couldn't tolerate the talkativeness of "outsiders"; but they forgot that we were in the review process, and Lao Lu was also one of the judges.
Seeing Zhou Dong turn to the stove, the judges immediately followed him, fearing that they would miss a step; Zhou Dong ignored these professional authorities, turned on the heat, heated the pot for a few seconds, put his hand behind the rim of the pot and poured oil into it.
When it reaches 90%, add green onion, pepper and ginger slices.
The fried double crispy dish is different from ordinary dishes. The auxiliary ingredients and side dishes must be put into the pot first, because the processed pork belly slices and chicken gizzard slices cannot stay in the pot for too long, and even the side dishes cannot be cooked.
In order to solve the problem of difficulty in controlling the heat, 90% of chefs will thicken the gravy, which makes it easier to control the heat of the double crispy ingredients. However, the problem caused by thickening the gravy is that the crispness decreases. Not to mention Zhou Dong, even Shen Gongdao would not bother to do this.
.
After adding the auxiliary ingredients and side dishes to the pot, Zhou Dong stirred them a few times with a frying spoon and then gently shook them. The auxiliary ingredients and side dishes were like obedient soldiers, turning up from the bottom of the pot.
"Huh? Are you starting to stir up trouble now?"
Tossing the pan allows the ingredients to turn naturally in the wok, and using a wok with a wok can heat the ingredients more evenly. It is also a technique used by chefs to control the heat.
But even if you need to stir the pot, it should be after the main ingredients are put into the pot, right? The pork belly and chicken gizzards are not even taken out of the pot yet, and you start to stir them. What kind of operation is this?
Not to mention Shen Gongdao's eyes widening, even Lu Zhiwei, Yi Zhiyu and Huailiang were a little puzzled.
What chefs pay attention to when cooking is to finish it in one go. If you start now, do you have to stop when you want to add the main ingredients later?
But that completely loses the meaning of taking the blame and turns it into a performance.
Only Huang Mingju and Dong Qishen didn't dare to blink. Zhou Dong's technique reminded them of the scene when their mentor made this dish himself.
After Zhou Dong gently stirred it a few times, a stream of oily smoke rose up from the bottom of the pot. He used a frying spoon to guide it out of the edge of the pot.
Just listen to the sound of "boom", the fire in the furnace was introduced into the pot by oil and gas, and a ball of fire suddenly exploded!
Hooking up the fire! One of the chef’s skills on the wok.
At this moment, Zhou Dong's face was calm and calm. It was definitely not the two knives that caused the pot to catch fire in a hurry, but the chef's skill of "catching fire" was deliberately used.
Everyone except Huang and Dong were stunned.
Hooking fire is a skill used for stir-frying. This is not wrong, but who has ever heard of a chef actually daring to use this 'dangerous' skill when making 'double crispy'?
It is already difficult to control the heat. If you add heat to the pot, are you going to make trouble for yourself or challenge the Guinness record?
Shen Gongdao's eyes darkened for a while, and he regretted letting Zhou Dong get in. If he turned around and found out something bad, and failed the average score, he would not only be the sinner of Jiuzhou Dingshi, but also become the biggest sinner.
laughing stock.
"Are we finally getting there?"
By this time, even Huailiang began to wonder if he had made a mistake. Could this guy just put on airs and scare people? This method... was too lazy to criticize.
Only Dong and Huang could not take their eyes off it.
Just a second or two after the fire started in the pot, Zhou Dong waved his frying spoon, as if he had eyes, picked up the pork belly and chicken gizzards, drew a wonderful arc in the air, broke through the fire balls one after another, and went straight into the pot. pot!
At the same time, quickly wrap the salt, sugar, soy sauce, and various seasonings with a frying spoon and put them into the pot without even looking at them.
Everyone watched in amazement as the ingredients entered through the fire, first absorbing various seasonings at the bottom of the pot, and then as Zhou Dong's wrists vibrated, they all went up the side of the pot.
I don’t know how Zhou Dong exerted his force. The ingredients actually spun along the wall of the pot under the action of centrifugal force, just like a motorcyclist performing acrobatics in a large iron cage!
Looking at this extremely weird scene through the red and yellow flames, Huailiang opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time. He suddenly remembered that Yi Zhiyu had told him that the wok was one of the highest realms.
‘Bring fire to the ingredients and turn materials into weapons!’
"That's right, absolutely not wrong. He must be the successor of our mentor, our little junior brother!
The sky has eyes, my mentor’s unique skills will finally be passed down to the world!”
Huang Mingju and Dong Qishen looked at Zhou Dong and felt their eyes gradually become moist. They had been waiting for this moment since their mentor drifted away, and they finally waited for it today!
"The food is ready, judges, please taste it."
The flame in the pot went out, and a plate of fried oil with double crispiness was placed in front of the judges.
Zhou Dong closed his eyes slightly, seeming to be thinking about something. After all, it was a rare chef-level experience, and he had to desperately hold on to that glimmer of insight.
"I'll go first!"
Swishing, swiping, five pairs of chopsticks reached for the dishes at the same time, but the fastest ones had to be said to be Huang Mingju and Dong Qishen, two old men who had been prepared for it.
The two old men took a big mouthful almost at the same time, then opened their cheeks and started chewing.
"Creak, creak, creak..."
To be continued...
