Don't pretend, I'm the God of Cooking and I'll showdown!

Chapter 147 A bolt from the blue?Lin Xu's ultimate comeback! 【Ask monthly ticket】

The scene of the game.

After a short break.

Geng Lishan announced that the five-wild competition is about to start.

soon.

The ingredients on the shelves have been updated.

Lin Xu found that whether onion, ginger or other ingredients were wrapped in bags, there were three pots of cooking oil and pork on top.

"All contestants have to choose the ingredients and ingredients they want in turn. They can only choose the same one each time. In the first round, the first picks first, in the second round, the second picks first, and in the third round, the third picks first. Picking...a total of five rounds of selection, after the five rounds, use the ingredients you selected to make a dish, the taste is not limited."

Can only use five ingredients?
Everyone stared intently at the ingredients on the shelves.

Thinking about how to choose the right one.

After the game starts.

Lin Xu walked to the shelf and first took a pot of cooking oil.

No matter what dish you cook, cooking oil is an essential ingredient.

There are only three barrels of oil on the shelf, so grab them first, otherwise you can only cook oil-free dishes, or look forward to getting pork in the next round, and use pig fat to make lard.

Seeing this, Guo Xinghai and Wei Qian also chose cooking oil.

The remaining two contestants took the remaining two pieces of pork respectively. Obviously, they also thought of the idea of ​​using pig fat to refine cooking oil.

After the first round of selection.

Guo Xinghai, who finished second in the previous round, started the second round of selection.

He originally wanted to take the ribs, but when he saw that there were only four packets of salt on the shelf, he took a packet of salt without hesitation.

The three of Wei Gan behind saw it, and they all chose salt from various sources.

Lin Xu: "..."

How do you let me choose?

offstage.

Shen Jiayue's heart was in her throat, and she just wanted to slander the person who made the question, but it seemed that it was Lele's grandfather who made the question, so she resisted the urge to complain, and asked Xie Baomin who was sitting not far away:

"Brother, what should Xu Bao do now? Will he be eliminated?"

No more table salt.

Then cooking becomes empty talk.

Xie Baomin was also a little surprised that such a problem occurred in the top five competition.

"At this time, I can only cook dessert dishes. Fortunately, my junior has a lot of research on dessert dishes. The dishes like Shaqima and almond tofu that I made before are also very good."

But not bad at all.

In a gourmet competition, if there is no limited dessert dish, you will not get a high score if you make this dish rashly.

After all, salty dishes are the mainstream.

There are too many restrictions on sweetness.

Before the shelf.

Lin Xu also knew that salty dishes had nothing to do with him.

But when it comes to dessert dishes...

When he saw that there was only a bag of white sugar on the shelf, which weighed about two or three catties, he immediately picked it up in his hand.

Well, hurry up and take up the sugar, so that you won't even be able to make desserts later.

After he got the white sugar.

Regardless of the judges' seats or the advisory group, a trace of regret flashed across everyone's face.

Using dessert dishes to compete with savory dishes is undoubtedly a match for a mantis.

Many people even began to complain quietly to the person who made the question.

In the gourmet competition, just ask others to cook and stir-fry. What are you doing with so many moths?
"Old Gao, what should we do?"

Old He from Building No. [-] asked proactively.

Uncle Gao smiled wryly:
"What can I do? Keep doing it. Whatever step you take counts as a step. Children, you should also suffer a little setback. How can it be smooth sailing all the time?"

But say so.

In his heart, he still hopes that his apprentice can prove himself through dessert dishes.

Such high talent.

It would be a pity to stop at the top five!
In the live broadcast room on the Internet.

The fans are no longer in the mood to joke.

"Can Boss Lin pass this round of competition with the dessert dish?"

"It's quite surprising. Among all the gourmet competitions, there is no precedent for dessert dishes to win over savory dishes."

"It's a pity... he's obviously so talented!"

"Yeah, I get up at four o'clock every day, and I'm exhausted, but I still don't forget to make a Vlog every other day to teach us how to cook."

"I posted a post under the topic of Lin Kee Food, I hope everyone cheers for Boss Lin!"

"Come on, big devil, no matter how many places you are in, you are the food champion in our hearts!"

"Yes, you will always be the gourmet champion in our hearts!"

"..."

The scene of the game.

After the second round of selection.

The third place Wei Gan started the third round of selection.

He got a tenderloin.

The latter two contestants got beef and chicken wings respectively.

When it was Lin Xu's turn, he took a look at the minced meat among the meat ingredients, and then took away an old pumpkin on the shelf. This was the only ingredient on the shelf that was suitable for making desserts.

"It's not bad... at least it can make the dish of candied pumpkin, so it won't get zero points."

Xie Baomin muttered something.

Seeing Guo Weidong looked over again, he raised up his middle fingers angrily.

How can I be in the mood to flirt with you right now?

The selection continues.

Guo Xinghai chose minced meat.

Then the fourth round of selection officially began.

Lin Xu got the salted duck egg yolk, which comforted Shen Jiayue a little.

At least you can make baked pumpkin with egg yolk!

And wait for the fifth round of selection.

Lin Xu stood in front of the shelf and thought for a long time before choosing a pack of glutinous rice flour.

"What did he choose glutinous rice flour for? Baked pumpkin with egg yolk doesn't use glutinous rice flour."

When the senior members of the advisory group see the ingredients, they can guess the dishes everyone is cooking.

They no longer pay attention to Lin Xu.

Instead, they focused on Guo Xinghai who chose minced meat and loofah. If he guessed correctly, this 'Mr. Xiao Guo' was probably going to make loofah stuffed meat.

Five rounds of selection are over.

Everyone stood in front of their respective stoves and started to work.

At the chair of the jury.

Geng Lishan looked at Lin Xu apologetically.

He really didn't expect that the game process he designed would actually harm this confidant.

But that's it.

It is too late to modify the rules.

We can only continue to compare like this.

in front of the stove.

Lin Xu poured one-third of the white sugar he got into the pot with a normal expression, then added a bowl of water, put it on the stove and started to boil.

Stir in the pot with a spoon while boiling.

This can not only speed up the melting of the white sugar, but also allow the white sugar to be heated evenly, preventing it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and causing a paste.

Soon, all the sugar in the pot melted.

Continue to stir.

When the surface of the sugar water in the pot turns slightly yellow and the sugar water becomes more and more viscous.

He turned off the fire and brought over a large empty pot.

Pour the boiled syrup into it, put it on the ground and turn it quickly, and use the centrifugal force of the iron pan to quickly evaporate the water in the syrup.

"What is he doing?"

"Looks like it's making sugar."

"sugar?"

"Stove sugar, sugar onion, sugar melon and other sugar products are all made in this way."

"I know these sugars, but this is a food competition, can sugar alone get a high score?"

"Enough!"

In the auditorium, listening to the whispers of those around her, Shen Jiayue hugged Dundun and was about to cry.

Chen Yan comforted her and said:
"Okay, my brother-in-law is so good, what if he can make it through this round?"

Geng Lele rested her cheeks and sighed.

Grandpa asked her for her opinion when formulating the rules, and she casually said to let the contestants choose the ingredients. Who knew that grandpa really did this.

I'm sorry, Boss Lin!

The syrup in the wok becomes viscous very quickly.

He felt that there was still a little water, so he put it aside and blown it with a fan, then picked up another pot, cleaned it, wiped off the flour water on the surface, poured glutinous rice flour into it, and put it on the stove to stir-fry over low heat.

What Lin Xu has to do now.

It was the perfect snack that was rewarded when I was making Shaqima - Longxu Crisp.

He intends to use dragon beard crisps as an embellishment to make this dish of baked pumpkin with egg yolk in a different pattern and form.

As for whether it can be successful.

He couldn't tell either.

Anyway, try your best.

When making dragon beard crisps.

Maltose can easily lower the temperature in the process of repeated pulling, causing the sugar filaments to break.

So use the hot glutinous rice flour to keep the temperature.

During the pulling process, let the sugar silk roll over the warm glutinous rice flour continuously, which can not only maintain the temperature, but also prevent the sugar silk from sticking together.

After the glutinous rice flour is fried.

He took the pot and poured it into a deeper tray.

Then he took out the maltose that was almost blown by the fan out of the pot.

"Wow! Isn't he afraid of being hot? This candy is at least sixty or seventy degrees, right?"

"I'm not afraid of being hot or cold. From this look, I am a veteran cook. It's a pity that I won't be able to see him in the next round of competition."

"It's a pity."

"It's indeed a pity, but isn't that the case with competitions?"

"Well, this is the charm of the game, always full of suspense and variables."

"..."

Lin Xu kneaded the maltose in his hands into long strips, then butted the two ends together and squeezed them tightly.

Then carefully stretch the ring, spread it in the glutinous rice flour for a while, let the surface be coated with glutinous rice flour, and then twist it to form a figure 8 ring.

Finally, fold it in half again, grab the two ends, stretch it out, and continue to fold in half.

Repeatedly pulling like this, the sugar strands become thinner and thinner, and the original golden maltose also turns white.

"Damn it! Is Boss Lin going to open a big game?"

"Isn't this the hair-thin dragon beard crisp? I bought a box in the scenic spot before, and the taste is not bad."

"Boss Lin hasn't given up yet!"

"He will definitely not give up, I hope there will be a miracle in this game!"

"Come on, Boss Lin, we won't give up either!"

"Modan, keep posting and shouting cheers to Boss Lin!"

"I'll go too, I don't do anything, I always feel sorry for the ridicule before."

"..."

Don't look at the fact that fans always make jokes about Lin Xu.

But at this moment, they really hope that Lin Xu can create a miracle.

Don't ask how amazing this miracle is.

As long as you can advance to the next round of competition.

Finally, Lin Xu pulled the golden-yellow maltose, which was slightly hot to the touch, into a tuft of strands thinner than a hair.

After finishing these tasks.

He cut off the dragon beard crisps, took a big bowl, and slowly put the dragon beard crisps in.

Put the bottom part of the bowl first, and then plate it up in circles until it reaches the mouth of the bowl. Fold in the excess dragon whiskers and set aside to cool.

Then he picked up the pumpkin he had picked out earlier.

Peel the skin first.

Then cut half of the pumpkin into strips of different lengths, and use a ball digger to dig the other half into round pumpkin balls.

After both are done.

Heat oil in a pan.

After the oil is hot, first put the pumpkin strips into the pan and fry until the skin is crispy. Take it out.

Then put the pumpkin balls in and fry until the skin is crispy.

"Brother, what is Xu Bao doing?"

Shen Jiayue originally thought that Lin Xu could make baked pumpkins with egg yolks, but first she was busy making dragon beard crisps for a long time, and now she is frying pumpkin balls, so she couldn't understand what she was doing.

Xie Baomin was also a little surprised.

However, seeing his junior brother busy with work in full swing, he occasionally showed a confident smile.

He said to Shen Jiayue:
"Perhaps the younger brother is going to cook a new dish, don't worry about younger siblings, he is so talented, he won't admit defeat."

"Yeah, I'm not worried, no matter how many places he gets, he is the king of food in my mind!"

Advisory Board there.

A group of old gentlemen were also dumbfounded.

"Old Gao, what is your apprentice doing?"

Uncle Gao doesn't know.

But Lin Xu didn't give up and didn't complain about himself, which made him very happy.

"No matter what you do, it's better than doing nothing, right? After all, he has the same ingredients as others. Although he doesn't have salt, others don't have sugar either."

Anyway, five ingredients for each person.

No more, no less, impartial.

In the eyes of Uncle Gao, this is actually quite fair.

This competition tests the cooking skills of chefs under extreme conditions.

Maybe it really made the apprentice break the game.

"Old Gao, seeing you are so excited, if your apprentice really survives this test later, don't you want to reward him?"

Uncle Gao said nonchalantly:

"Whether he wins or loses, I will give him a shop. If he wins, he will be rewarded, and if he loses, he will be encouraged."

in front of the stove.

Lin Xu is still busy.

After he fried all the pumpkin strips and pumpkin balls, he poured out the oil in the pan.

Then put half of the remaining white sugar into the pot, then pour half a bowl of water, boil over low heat, and slowly stir in the pot with a spoon while boiling.

Continue stirring after the sugar in the pot boils.

Wait until the sugar is thick and turns dark brown at the same time, then turn off the heat.

This boils out the caramel.

It's not particularly sweet, but it has a nice caramel flavor.

After turning off the heat, stir for a while to let the temperature in the pot drop slightly, then pour the fried pumpkin strips into the pot, stir fry quickly, so that the surface of the pumpkin strips is covered with caramel.

Wait for everything to hang evenly.

Take a large plate, put the pumpkin strips covered with caramel in the middle, and then use your hands to make a messy shape with a concave in the middle.

After setting it up, Lin Xu changed the pot.

Put the salted duck egg yolk you got before into the pot to steam it, and then flatten it with a knife.

Then pour oil in the pan.

Before the oil is hot, pour the salted duck egg yolk into the pan and stir fry.

When frying until bubbling, put three teaspoons of sugar into the pot to neutralize the salty taste of the salted duck egg yolk.

Finally pour the fried squash balls into the pan.

Stir fry over low heat, let the egg yolk paste evenly hang on the pumpkin balls.

out of the pot.

At this time, the pumpkin strips covered with caramel are no longer hot.

Lin Xu took out the almost-shaped dragon beard crisps from the bowl, and carefully placed them in the depression in the middle of the pumpkin strips.

The size is just right, it looks like a bird's nest on a pile of dead tree branches.

Then carefully place the pumpkin balls covered with egg yolk paste in the bird's nest.

This dish with unique shape and three dishes and snacks including caramelized pumpkin, baked pumpkin with egg yolk and dragon beard crisp is ready.

"Damn it! Boss Lin is really big!"

"What kind of dish is this? I haven't heard of it before. Is he original?"

"It should be original. There is baked pumpkin with egg yolk in the bird's nest, and caramelized pumpkin under the bird's nest. These are different dishes."

"Oh my god! Is this the full power Boss Lin?"

"I thought he was playing in the first three rounds, but now it seems that he has been playing in the first four rounds!"

"Thanks to the organizer for forcing out Boss Lin at full power."

"Thank you, otherwise when will we see this dish."

"..."

The mood of the fans in the live broadcast room was like a roller coaster.

From the beginning when the champion was in sight, to the thunderbolt without salt, and now the turning point, everyone's mood has experienced ups and downs.

The audience at the scene were also attracted by the dish made by Lin Xu.

"Ah! It looks so tempting!"

"I have no resistance to caramel, so I really want to try it."

"I'd love to try those butternut squash balls."

"Others have done almost the same, so it's time to rate them?"

At this time, Guo Xinghai's loofah stuffed meat, Wei Gan's fried tenderloin, and the other two contestants' braised chicken wings and stir-fried beef were all ready.

It's time for the judges to taste and score the audience's salivation.

Geng Lishan walked down from the judges' seat.

Looking at Lin Xu, he asked:

"Original dishes? I didn't do this before."

Lin Xu nodded:

"It's an original dish, but it's actually just a few dishes stitched together."

Everyone knows that it is a combination of several dishes.

But some people are beautiful and good-looking when they are put together, while others are completely wrong when they are put together.

What Lin Xu did belongs to the former.

Geng Lishan asked again:

"Have you thought about the name of this dish?"

The judges next to him immediately booed and said:
"Since it looks like a bird's nest, let's call it a bird's nest."

"The overlapping rate of the bird's nest is too high. A single word, nest, is more artistic."

"I also think the nest is good, with artistic conception and ideas."

When several people were discussing.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"No matter the bird's nest or the bird's nest, it is the home of the little bird, so I think it should be called 'home'."

Family?
Geng Lishan stared blankly at the dishes on the plate.

I think the name is really appropriate.

Not only because it has a good meaning, but also the bird's nest made of mille-feuille represents the softest part of everyone's heart. It contains family members, children, and everything a person cares about.

What a name!

Last time, he complained that the current chef's cooking has no connotation and no culture, but now, he was severely slapped in the face by this little friend in front of him.

No matter the connotation, culture or even the meaning of this dish, it is very in place.

It can be said that this is the best dish I have encountered in recent years.

This little friend is not easy!

However, what he didn't know was that when Lin Xu made this dish just now, he went through a lot of thoughts, consumed a lot of brain cells, and spent [-] system points at the same time.

[Excellent plate placement technique: Exchange price 100000 points]

[Excellent caramel technique: exchange price of 100000 points]

Already spent [-] points today, and squandered the points saved after exchanging for Ruthless Iron Hand, and now there is not even [-] points in the system.

It's really a return to before liberation!
When I want to feel that the points are not spent.

A system prompt sounded in Lin Xu's mind:

"The host created the perfect-level dish "Home" using the techniques he has mastered. After receiving the perfect-level dish exchange reward once, the host can exchange the dishes in his memory. Do you want to exchange it immediately?"

Dishes from memory?

Which one should this be exchanged for?

Lin Xu thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered a dish that his senior brother made in the store at that time...

Just you!
