The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 763 Listening skills
The competition of cooking skills is firstly a competition of craftsmanship, followed by a competition of psychology.Li Tianxing won No. 1 in the Beijing Master of Cooking Competition a year ago, but that was only limited to the capital.This time is different, the masters from all over the country are there. As the saying goes, the great hermit hides among the people, and it is still unknown how powerful the real chef is.

The fat chef said: "You don't know, in this competition, the Shanyuantang in Tai'an Prefecture has a master, and the cooking skills are not covered. Before the competition, there are people who bet on the outside, and most of them bought him to win." .”

Li Tianxing said: "Shanyuantang... I haven't heard of it, and I haven't been to Tai'an Mansion either. What kind of cuisine does this person serve?"

"He knows Sichuan cuisine and Shandong cuisine." The fat chef mentioned this person with awe: "I thought you knew it, but no one who is a cook knows the Shanyuantang in Tai'an Mansion. The culinary art is passed down from Zhanshu, you know, that is the ancestor of the chef. I once went to Tai'an Mansion to eat it, it was really delicious."

Lao Cai next to him didn't know much about cooking, but when he heard about betting, he became interested. If nothing else, just watch Li Tianxing's cooking competition today.The money I have saved is at least 2000 taels. If you buy someone who is not well-known in the periphery, it will be a ten-for-one loss ratio, and you can earn 2 taels, which is much better than going out to steal things.However, he had to make sure.

"Brother Li, have you ever participated in cooking competitions with others? Have you ever lost?"

Li Tianxing shook his head: "I participated once, and it was a famous chef from the capital, but I didn't lose. Brother Cai, why are you asking this?"

"Hehe, it's nothing, just asking casually."

The fat chef quickly knelt down to Li Tianxing: "Master! Please accept me as an apprentice. Let me do whatever you want in the future. I admire your cooking skills."

Li Tianxing was a little flattered: "You don't need to be like this. After I win the master Yang, you will have time to learn from him. And my main business is not cooking, I'm just a gangster."

On the third day, something seemed to happen in the court, so the cooking competition was postponed.It just so happened that Lao Cai took this opportunity and went to the outside to place bets. He had a silver ticket hidden in him.The day passed quickly, and Li Tianxing just stayed in the room, explaining to the fat chef how to make the plate of puffer fish dim sum. The recipe is not difficult, but the skill of knife and the heat cannot be mastered in a day or two.

The more the fat chef listened, the more depressed he became: "I can't comprehend your knife skill, but I can still listen to it."

Early in the morning, these cooks gathered at the gate of the afternoon, and the eunuch led them to the prepared venue.A eunuch with a dust whisk in his hand said: "The plan has changed. Today it is changed to cooking Sichuan cuisine. There is no limit to the ingredients, and you can use it freely. All the ingredients you want, just tell the foreman, and they will help you get it." .”

The fat chef was sitting next to Li Tianxing, and he pointed to a strong man not far away: "Master, look, that's the head of Yang's family, and he is also a martial arts practitioner. His cooking skills are very good."

Li Tianxing didn't care too much about who was who, and only told the eunuch not far away: "I'll make a spicy pot today, get me two crucian carp, one sea cucumber, five slices of tofu, onion, ginger, garlic, chili and soy sauce Can not be less."

The fat chef whispered: "Master, the spicy hot pot is too common, and it's very difficult to win with this. Today's competition is to select [-] people from so many people. If those eunuchs don't like what they eat, things will happen." It’s a mess. These eunuchs don’t like spicy food, so let’s get another one.”

"No, I know it."

The leading eunuch said: "Everyone's time is separated. I will light one stick of incense in front of each of you. After one stick of incense is lit, another stick of incense will be offered. In the order of later incense sticks, there will be three sticks of incense in total. I understand. Is it?"

I understand, it's very simple.

The ingredients were all in front of Li Tianxing, and a few people were still thinking about what dishes to make to make themselves stand out.Generally, the time of spicy pot should not be too long, otherwise the spicy taste will be very strong, and people who cannot eat chili will cough very badly and lose sensation in their tongues.However, the rubbish that Li Tianxing made was not for cooking.

After the vegetables are cut, they are placed in a small pot, and then the small pot is placed in the large pot.Then, fill the outside of the small pot with warm water, grind the peppers into powder, and cook the small casserole.

The fat chef didn't understand: "Master, the smell of this chili can't get in at all, isn't it unnecessary?"

Right, no matter whether you are an insider or an outsider, you know that there is no way to burn things like this.It’s not superfluous if the smell can’t get in, but if you put it directly inside and burn it together, you can imagine the smell after three sticks of incense. It’s really unbearable for Sichuanese.

Li Tianxing's palm was lightly attached to the side of the pot, and he used his internal force to urge the peppers. At the same time, he had to ensure that the temperature of the big iron pot should not be too high, otherwise it would burn his hands.If you make spicy hot pot gently, you may not be able to cook everything.

After a long while, someone had already completed it, and it was only the first incense stick. Some people were eliminated, and some people successfully advanced.That master Yang is amazing, he was the first to complete it, and he also put it in a casserole, but it was not a spicy hot pot, but a ten-assortment pot, and the eunuchs applauded after eating it.

Li Tianxing finished before the third stick of incense was burned: "Is anyone coming to taste it? It's over."

A eunuch came over and smelled the small casserole, wrinkling his nose: "It seems to be very spicy."

"You won't know until you eat it."

"People in the palace are not used to chili peppers, don't you know? You were eliminated."

"Hehe." Li Tianxing smiled indifferently: "You will know it after you taste it anyway, don't rush to draw conclusions. I guarantee you will like it very much."

The eunuch looked around, there was still time anyway, so he tapped it with his chopsticks, trying only with the tip of his tongue, for fear of being too hot.Just like that, the eunuch was so energetic that he couldn't help but use the spoon and chopsticks together. In the blink of an eye, he ate a small bowl.

"Come here and have a taste! This pot is awesome!"

Most of the eunuchs didn't believe it, they gathered around, and the leading eunuch looked at this side and yelled: "What are you shouting about? There are no rules, isn't it just a pot, usually you don't eat much good food in the palace?"

"Elder-in-law, this is really different. It smells spicy and tastes spicy from the nose to the back of the head, but the tongue doesn't feel spicy at all. It's the spicy aroma inside, so delicious."

The father-in-law curled his lips when he saw this thing: "Hey, fish, tofu, hehe, aren't these all common food, and you can make flowers? I'll try it."

He scooped a little up with a spoon and put it near his mouth, his eyes suddenly stared at Li Tianxing: "It's not simple, it's not simple. People can't be judged by their appearance, and sea water can't be measured. Don't look at your appearance, this craft is real. That's right, you can catch up with the master master in the palace, what's your name?"

"Li Tianxing."

"Li...what did you say your name is?!"
