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

Chapter 173 So beautiful that you can't bear to eat chopsticks!What, another cooking competition? 【Ask monthly ticket】

Does this work too?
Lin Xu had already given up hope.

Unexpectedly, at the time when I was least hopeful, the cooking learning card actually worked.

"How about junior brother? Master's original dishes are good, right?"

Seeing that Lin Xu didn't speak, Xie Baomin thought he was shocked by this dish.

Qiu Zhenhua on the side asked:
"Old Xie, I can figure it out in other aspects, but what happened to your last shot? What is the principle of this?"

It's not just that he can't figure it out.

Qin Wei also looked blank.

After the clear soup was poured, the flower bone did not move at all, no different from a car overturned, but the petals bloomed one after another after being patted, isn't it amazing?
Is the little boss possessed?
Xie Baomin looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"Brother, do you know what's going on?"

If the cooking learning card doesn't work, then Lin Xu, like Qin Wei and Qiu Zhenhua, is struggling in the desert of knowledge.

But now I have finished reading the practice of Perfect Grade Shimizu Hibiscus.

He naturally understood the principle of this.

When the fried chicken slices are soaked in hot water, they will swell more or less, and a loose and porous tissue like tofu will be formed inside.

And the brother fished it out of the water, and deliberately controlled the water.

The moisture absorbed by the chicken slices during soaking was controlled out, and when the chicken slices were filled into the water cup, the chicken slices were more or less squeezed.

So when you put it in the porcelain pot and start adding clear soup.

These chicken pieces will absorb the broth quickly.

After absorbing the broth, the chicken pieces will inevitably begin to swell.

The flower bud that was originally squeezed out of the water glass has become precarious.

At this time, Xie Baomin patted lightly, giving the flower bone a force, and the petals inevitably began to bloom.

In fact, even if he doesn't shoot, these petals will bloom automatically because they absorb too much water.

When Master created this dish back then, he had already taken this factor into consideration, and it was even a "small mechanism" artificially designed by others, just to make the first teacher happy.

Lin Xu didn't know if Shi Niang was unhappy at the time.

Anyway, he is very happy at the moment.

Because now he has not only seen a dish with super high value, but most importantly, he can also cook it himself.

Well, if you have time, you must make it for Baby Shen to make this girl happy.

"Junior brother, I'm asking you something, do you know the principle?"

Seeing that Lin Xu hadn't spoken, Xie Baomin couldn't help but remind him.

Only then did Lin Xu come back to his senses.

said with a smile:

"Chicken slices will swell after absorbing water, and the flower buds are already crumbling, but you pat them again, and they will bloom naturally."

He didn't go into too much detail.

But it also basically stated the principle.

The voice just fell.

Xie Baomin just laughed:
"I'll just say that my junior brother is highly talented, that's why."

He explained the principle in detail, and heard Qiu Zhenhua praise again and again:
"How did Mr. Gao come up with this idea? Isn't this amazing?"

You have no idea how much effort Neptune can put in for a relationship... Lin Xu sighed softly in his heart, other people's food stories are either good stories or thrilling.

However, Master's original dishes are full of scumbags.

Even if you want to praise it, you can't praise it.

Take your mind off.

He looked at the flowers in the pot.

In the crystal-clear soup, there is a pure white flower floating. The so-called "clear water produces hibiscus, and it is natural to carve and decorate", is that probably the case?

This dish is the most beautiful dish that Lin Xuchang has seen so far.

It's so beautiful that I doubt it's fake.

While watching, Xie Baomin handed over chopsticks and spoons:

"Come and come, try the taste. No matter how beautiful the dishes are, it will be attributed to the taste. If the taste is not good, everything is useless."

Don't just praise the appearance, but also praise other things, such as taste and texture.

I've been boasting about my good looks, isn't that too one-sided?
Chef Xie, who was waiting for the compliment, was a little anxious.

Qiu Zhenhua took the chopsticks, looked at the pure white flowers in the porcelain pot, and a wry smile floated on his face:
"With such good looks, I can't bear to put down my chopsticks."

It's not like he hasn't seen beautiful dishes before.

For example, the well-known Wensi Tofu, Kousansi, Baipao Shrimp and other dishes in Jiangsu cuisine are among the best in Chinese cuisine.

But no matter how beautiful those dishes are, they are not out of the category of dishes.

And the clear water hibiscus in front of him looks more like a work of art.

But Xie Baomin is right, no matter how beautiful the dishes are, if they are not good in taste, everything is useless.

He raised his chopsticks, finally picked up a petal, carried it to his mouth with a small saucer, and began to taste it.

"How about Qiu Qiu? Is the taste okay?"

"It's great. I didn't expect that the chicken slices would taste so good after the chicken is raised and drained, and then absorb some soup. The chicken slices are tender and smooth, and there is still rich juice inside, delicious!"

Hearing his boast, Lin Xu also felt a little greedy.

Use chopsticks to pick up a piece of petals and send it to your mouth. You will first feel a strong fresh fragrance in the mouth, followed by the tender and smooth taste of chicken slices.

Although it has been fried, and the frying time is still a little longer.

But the tender and smooth taste in the mouth is like eating a piece of lactone tofu.

However, compared to lactone tofu, this chicken slice is slightly better in terms of texture and taste, especially the fresh and juicy taste of the chicken, which really makes people feel refreshed and happy.

I feel very comfortable.

The mood also became happy for no reason.

After eating the chicken slices, he spooned some clear soup to his mouth.

The scent at the entrance made him almost cry out.

It feels so good.

From the visual point of view, it seems to have taken a sip of simple warm boiled water.

But the rich and fresh fragrance in the mouth is as refreshing and satisfying as eating a chicken and half an elbow by the way.

This tastes so good.

It is fresh, fragrant and thick, and has just the right amount of saltiness.

Let the soup seem to be sublimated.

"How about junior brother?"

"The chicken slices are delicious and the soup is delicious too, it's wonderful... I'll have to sneak a practice of this dish later and surprise my girlfriend."

Well, in order to prevent it from surprising everyone in the future.

Lin Xu started warming up right now.

After praising senior brother, he looked at Qin Wei who was slowly eating chicken slices beside him and asked:
"Master Qin, what's the smell like?"

"Delicious!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Wei looked at Lin Xu and asked in a low voice:

"You... really know how to cook... this dish?"

When he's not nervous, he speaks much more fluently.

Lin Xu nodded slightly:

"The method is smooth, but you still have to practice."

A trace of envy flashed across Qin Wei's face.

Just as Lin Xu was about to chat with him, there was a yelling voice at the kitchen door:

"Thank you, Chef, invite me to dinner quickly, there is a happy event!"

As soon as the voice fell, Assistant Bai from the catering department trotted all the way to the kitchen.

"Just now, when I was helping Director Liao sort out the documents, Yanjing TV's... eh? Chef Qiu? Why are you here?"

See Qiu Zhenhua is here too.

A trace of surprise flashed across Assistant Bai's thin face, and he was about to leave immediately:

"What, I'm still burning water on my computer, I'll drop by later, you go on... What kind of food do I rely on in this pot? Are you making bonsai for fun?"

He was going to leave, but when he saw the Qingshui hibiscus on the workbench, he couldn't go any further.

No way, the appearance of this dish is really outstanding.

Even though a few petals have been lost, the appearance is still a bit higher than ordinary dishes.

"Can I... can I have a taste?"

Assistant Bai picked up the chopsticks next to him and was about to try it, when Qiu Zhenhua stopped him:
"Tell me, what's the happy event? You actually swallowed your words when you saw me. Do you still want to eat the crab roe soup buns from our No. [-] building?"

Xie Baomin laughed and booed from the side:
"In the future, our No. [-] building will also make crab roe soup dumplings, so you can come to our place to eat."

Qiu Zhenhua raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Baomin:

"Old Xie, it's fine if you sell it secretly, and you still yell it in front of my face, aren't you afraid that I will turn against you?"

"Aren't you kidding, Xiaobai, what's the matter? Tell me quickly, otherwise our Chief Chef Qiu will have to guess all night, and his mind is so small that he can't even stuff the shredded tofu of Wensi Tofu into it."

"you……"

Assistant Bai didn't hold back any more, and said honestly:
"It's like this. Zhen Wensheng from the Yanjing City Travel Channel just came to find Director Liao. He is going to plan a cooking competition and invite young chefs from ten foreign-related hotels to participate."

After speaking, he picked up a petal and ate it with a small plate.

Lin Xu and Xie Baomin next to each other looked at each other.

Cooking contest?

Diaoyutai just held a cooking competition a few days ago, why are you planning to hold a competition again?
Is this going to catch the heat of the last game?
Qiu Zhenhua looked at Xie Baomin and said:
"Is this for your junior brother? He is famous and good at cooking, and he has such a good looks. He can become popular with just a little packaging, and the Diaoyutai champion is so famous. If other hotels win him, they can't brag about it." Let's go to heaven."

Everyone is not stupid.

We all know these tricks.

Diaoyutai has cooking competitions between various buildings every year, and it even becomes more and more formal, but this is also the reason why it never communicates with hotels outside.

It's not something to be proud of when you win, but you get blown away when you lose.

Instead of being someone else's background board, it's better to close the door and play by yourself.

Xie Baomin looked at Assistant Bai and asked curiously:

"What's Director Liao's attitude?"

"I'm very interested. Now the boss has been asking Diaoyutai to attract guests from the public. Director Liao naturally doesn't want to miss out on such a good publicity opportunity as a cooking competition... This dish is so delicious, why haven't I seen it before?"

Qiu Zhenhua said with a smile:
"Your level is not high enough, so I haven't seen it, but you should have heard of the name of this dish, it's called Qingshui Furong."

"Damn! This is Qingshui Hibiscus? I just read a lot of documents and mentioned this dish, but I didn't expect it to be so good-looking. No wonder those foreigners eat it for days."

Next to him, Xie Baomin walked up to Lin Xu and asked in a low voice:
"Junior brother, if you don't want to join in the fun, I can help you drop it."

Lin Xu smiled wryly.

Naturally, he didn't want to join in the fun.

But would the system let him go for this kind of publicity?

really.

Just thought of this.

A system notification sounded in his mind:
"Yanjing City's foreign-related hotel cooking competition is about to start, triggering a series of tasks [Passing the level]: From the knockout round, every time the host wins the first place in a round of competition, the host will get corresponding rewards. The farther you go in the competition, the The richer the rewards, you will also get a surprise prize after winning the championship!"

really……

I haven't entered the game yet.

The system arranges the tasks clearly.

And in order to maintain the attractiveness, this time I didn't even mention the rewards clearly, and only used words such as surprise and richness to stimulate myself.

Will this be marketing?
Lin Xu said to Xie Baomin:

"It's okay to participate, and by the way, let's promote Lin Kee Food."

Besides, Director Liao is very interested, so I will go here. After all, when Chezi and the others came two days ago, Director Liao stuffed them into a culinary improvement class held inside Diaoyutai without saying a word.

People lift themselves up like this.

I have to pay back more or less.

"Okay, it's good to follow along to see the world, just to maintain your popularity on the Internet."

While the two were chatting.

Assistant Bai, who was eating water lotus, suddenly received a call.

After hanging up, he said to Xie Baomin:

"Chef Xie, Director Liao asked you to go with Master Lin. There are also Chef Guo from Building No. [-] and Wei Gan from Building No. [-]. It should be about the competition."

After finishing speaking, he took a small bowl, scooped up a bowl of soup with a spoon, and praised while drinking:
"This soup is so delicious, I have to try more for Director Liao."

"This pot is all yours...Let's go, junior brother, let's go and see what's going on."

The two walked out.

Qiu Zhenhua tasted the dumpling in soup with crab roe and saw the legendary dish of Diaoyutai, so he walked out together.

When he came outside, Lin Xu saw the door of Building No. [-] not far away. Wei Qian was walking slowly towards this side, apparently also received the notice.

Watch this battle.

This time, he, Guo Xinghai and Wei Gan participated in the competition.

A champion, a runner-up and a third runner-up, the chefs of other hotels can boast a lot no matter which one they win.

"Master Lin, I wish you success in this competition."

After Qiu Zhenhua finished speaking, he said to Xie Baomin:

"In two days, I will send a few chefs who make soup dumplings from our back kitchen to make crab roe soup dumplings with Master Lin. You also have to send masters to my place to exchange ideas."

"No problem Qiu Qiu!"

Qiu Zhenhua walked towards Building No. [-].

Lin Xu took out his car key and opened the door. Building No. [-] is a bit far from the office of the catering department, and it was extremely hot outside, so he just drove over.

When Wei Gan came over, the temperature in the car had already dropped.

The three got into the car, Lin Xu was just going to the administrative building, Xie Baomin said:

"Go to Building No. [-] and pick up Chef Guo."

After speaking, he lowered his head and started sending messages.

Lin Xu: "..."

As soon as Chef Qiu leaves, you go to Building No. [-], tsk tsk tsk.

Come to the door of building ten.

As soon as the car was parked, Guo Weidong came out from inside.

"Hey! Master Lin's car is quite impressive!"

He opened the car door and sat in the back seat of the car with Xie Baomin.

As soon as he sat down, he confessed to Lin Xu:

"This competition is obviously aimed at your enthusiasm. Remember to ask for benefits later. When someone invites you, you will foolishly nod in agreement."

Xie Baomin agreed:

"Yes, you should have the benefits. If you want to take advantage of your popularity, you have to pay something."

benefit?

What good could it do?

Lin Xu was thinking while driving.

If you ask for money directly, it shouldn't be much, and it's not good to spread it. If you take the money to participate in the competition, isn't this the official request?
So what else do you want besides money?

Lin Xu recalled the benefits he had gained during the Diaoyutai competition, and then remembered the webcast.

Well, it's not appropriate to ask for money, so it's okay to ask for some shares of the webcast, right?

My sister-in-law complained every day that she and Baobao Shen's behavior of throwing dog food hurt her young heart who was about to turn [-], so let's use this to make up for it.

Come to the food department.

Several people met Liao Jinming, director of the catering department, and Zhen Wensheng from the Travel Channel.

After some chat.

Liao Jinming said:
"There is a cooking competition recently. I hope you can participate on behalf of Diaoyutai. If you go, no matter whether you win or lose, there will be cash rewards. What do you think, Master Lin?"

Lin Xu didn't make any detours, looked directly at Zhen Wensheng and asked:
"Which company is responsible for the webcast of this competition?"

"Our Yanjing TV station is fully responsible. Master Lin only needs to rest assured that the game will be fine. You don't have to worry about the live broadcast."

Upon hearing this.

Lin Xu immediately picked up the car keys on the table:
"Sorry, I have to go back to my hometown recently, Director Liao, why don't you go with someone else."

His voice just fell.

Guo Weidong, who was drinking tea next to him, put down his teacup:
"Xinghai has been busy sorting out the cultural relics of Cantonese cuisine owned by our old man recently, so he couldn't come here."

Wei Gan looked at everyone, raised his hand and said:
"The fortune teller said that I have suffered a bloody disaster recently, so I will not run around."

When Zhen Wensheng saw the situation, he immediately understood what was going on.

He smiled and said:

"We are really not very good at webcasting. We need to find an experienced company to cooperate with. Does Master Lin have any recommendations?"

His original plan was to use Lin Xu, the Diaoyutai champion, to attract other hotels to participate in the competition.

If there is no such bait, other hotels are probably not interested.

In terms of webcasting, the Travel Channel is indeed inexperienced, and it would be great if there is a suitable professional company to cooperate with.

With his words.

Lin Xu decided to postpone returning to his hometown, and Guo Weidong refused to let his nephew tidy up the museum.

And Wei Qian, who had a bloody disaster recently, said that he slaughtered pigs at home since he was a child, and encountered bloody disasters every day, which is commonplace.

that's it.

Without knowing it, Chen Yan became a partner of Travel Channel.

In order to boost morale, Liao Jinming distributed bonuses on the spot.

Lin Xu [-], Guo Xinghai [-], Wei Qian [-].

Tens of thousands of dollars is not worth getting excited about, but after getting the money, Lin Xu suddenly discovered that the system points had skyrocketed by [-].

Can the income during the renovation also increase the points?

If that's the case, then I'll have to talk to my brother about salary and bonuses.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Lin Xu got off the morning shift again.

He drove Dundun through the North Fourth Ring Road, and when he was approaching Yingchun Street, he saw a lot of people surrounded by the pan fried shop opposite the school.

What is this doing?
Do you have any promotions?
Seeing a parking space on the side of the road, he quickly parked the car in, then got out of the car with Dundun in his arms, planning to buy some fried buns.

I haven't eaten for a long time, and I am too lazy to do it myself.

I happened to buy something here to satisfy my hunger.

Well, he learned his cooking skills from a master named Wang Ziqiang in this shop, so it is a small return to buy raw fried rice now.

But when he walked over, he realized that it was not a promotion.

Instead, someone is arguing.

"At that time you said that your nephew was going back to his hometown to open a shop and asked me to teach him. I agreed, but who knew that I would be kicked out as soon as the church was taught. Is there a boss like you?"

"Go away, the wages have already been paid to you, don't yell at my shop door!"

"..."

What's the situation?

While wondering, a small mushroom head emerged from the crowd, holding some newly bought fried buns:
"Ah! Dundun, Boss Lin, are you two here to watch the fun?"

Seeing Lin Xu, the girl immediately came over.

"What's the matter, Lele?"

"The master Wang who made delicious raw fried food before was poached by the shop owner from another store at a high price. The business here is all attracted by Master Wang's craftsmanship. Who knows that the shop owner thinks that the salary is too high to waste money, so he let his own My nephew learned it for a while, and then kicked him out."

After speaking, she pinched a fried pan and tasted it:
"Ah, it's not delicious. It's far from what Master Wang made."

Lin Xu saw that Wang Ziqiang in the crowd was desperately trying to get an explanation. His income may support the whole family. Now that he hastily lost his job, the family may be unsustainable.

Think about your own craft or learn it from others.

How about helping him?
But how to help?

Lin Xu scratched his head and suddenly remembered that he still had a task to open a shop.

He immediately took out his mobile phone and called Dou Wenjing:
"Sister Jing, can you come to the east end of Yingchun Street right now, which is the gate of Lele's school, I want to invest in a small project..."
