Chapter 1067 A knife travels all over the world
The dish "Hundred Birds Chaofeng" was made by Wan Lao in the kitchen of the state banquet. This dish is a beautiful dish that combines the wisdom and efforts of all the palace chefs.

It has to be said that the wisdom of the ancients is indeed broad and profound, especially the court dishes, which can be used to make exquisite styles with ordinary ingredients are indeed incomparable.

This dish of Hundred Birds to the Phoenix uses only a few ingredients, such as a hen, an old pumpkin, prawns, fish, pigeon eggs, carrots, cucumbers, etc.

Fortunately for Chu Yunfeng, the organizing committee provided prawns, which was the only seafood ingredient. After all, some leeway had to be left for the Western food contestants, otherwise they would really not be able to play.

"You handle the hen, and I'll teach you how to do it. Then I'll make some fish grits, and I'll carve the phoenix first!"

As soon as the competition started, after the ingredients were retrieved, Chu Yunfeng and Hu Yue immediately began to discuss the division of labor. However, what surprised Hu Yue was that he still didn't know what dish to make?

“Okay, no problem, but do you want to tell me first what kind of food we are cooking?
How come I have never seen the combination of these ingredients before? "

Chu Yunfeng laughed immediately. He was a little too excited. He forgot that this was a palace dish that he had just learned, and it was also the top dish. Of course Hu Yue didn't know.

I originally thought that it wouldn’t be used in this competition, but I never expected that it would be such a coincidence, so I whispered: “This is Wan Lao’s box-packed dish, the top palace dish.

A hundred birds face the phoenix! "

“Holy shit, top palace dishes?

Can you learn this too?
As soon as you hear the name, you know that the dish is absolutely amazing. Are you a little lucky? "

Hu Yue's mouth opened wide in disbelief. She thought that Chu Yunfeng could learn both skills from Wan Lao, but she didn't expect that the harvest would be so great. Is this guy just so lucky?

"It's okay, let's start quickly. This dish takes a lot of time, so we have to hurry up!"

The competition time is still one and a half hours, which also greatly limits Chu Yunfeng's ability to make top-notch Sichuan cuisine, but there is still no problem in making this dish.

Hu Yue also started to get excited and wanted to see the beautiful appearance of this dish, so she listened to Chu Yunfeng's instructions and hummed a little tune.

Are you humming a tune?
President Zhao and Dean Lu were planning to seize the time and sneak around the court first, and then stand here to watch Chu Yunfeng's wonderful performance, but they found that these two people were so relaxed.

I was originally planning to keep walking forward, but after seeing Chu Yunfeng's movements, I couldn't move any further.
Is this time to start carving?
Especially after seeing Chu Yunfeng's knife, not only President Zhao and Dean Lu could no longer walk, but the rest of the people passing by were also attracted to see the huge pumpkin split into two halves with a knife.

But Chu Yunfeng took half of it and started immediately. The speed was so fast that it was dizzying.

The most attractive thing is that the carving knife in his hand didn't even know where it came from. It seemed as if the carving knife appeared in his hand as soon as the pumpkin was cut.

Isn't this a little bit amazing?
hiss~!

It's moving, it's moving!
It's so fast!

The pumpkin skins separated one by one, and even after falling off, they were still neatly placed on the kitchen counter. People couldn't help but admire how stable the carving was.

Then Chu Yunfeng continued to cut and began to carve the half of the pumpkin. Although the speed was very fast, the flesh of the pumpkin could be seen flying everywhere, but it was impossible to tell what was being carved.

"What do you think this is carving?"

Chairman Zhao occupied a good position and watched without blinking, for fear of missing every detail. The key was that he seemed to be enjoying it so much that he asked Dean Lu who was standing aside without turning his head.

Dean Lu was completely attracted by Chu Yunfeng's speed and exquisite carving. He was so mesmerized by the sight that he didn't want to talk at all.

But President Zhao even asked, and he could only reply quickly and angrily: "I don't know, just concentrate on watching!"

Huh~?

Faintly feeling that he was being attacked, President Zhao shook his head slightly helplessly, and could only keep silent and watch intently.

This is the wings?

As the carving continued, Chu Yunfeng continued to be surrounded. Some reporters with strong sensitivity got a good position and slapped the pumpkin carved in Chu Yunfeng's hand.

As if this excitement was not enough, the big screen on the field began to focus on Chu Yunfeng and live broadcast his carving process, which had to make the other competing chefs feel uncomfortable.

"Oh my god, it's him again. I found that this big screen barely paid attention to me. Am I just here to make a fool of myself?"

"Another big piece of carving. This man's carving skills are simply amazing!"

"There is simply no way to survive. How come I haven't heard of this person before? Isn't his cooking skills amazing?"

"Yesterday's news was reported with all our strength. Today there is a strong voice for continuing to win the championship. It seems that it must be him!"

"Looks like his Western food is pretty good, but I don't know what the Chinese food will be like today. It must be even better, right?"

The players on the court were all very envious of Chu Yunfeng. Most of them admired his cooking skills, but there were also a few who were so jealous that they had nothing to say.

Ikeno Taro saw that Chu Yunfeng continued to attract people on the field. He stopped immediately while doing this, and his body started to tremble. It was obvious that the evil fire in his chest could no longer be suppressed.

"Ikeno-kun, get moving, we must win this championship!"

Michiko Suzuki, who was on the side, naturally saw that something was wrong with Ikeno Taro's state, and saw the gnashing of teeth when he looked at the big screen, so she had to remind him.

However, Michiko Suzuki obviously underestimated the jealousy in Taro Ikeno's heart. These words were of no use to him, and his angry expression became even more intense.

“If I can’t win this one, then in the next knife skills competition, I will definitely use the ultimate stunt to let him know how good I am.

If you want to win the slam king, go ahead and dream! "

Ikeno Taro's expression became a little sinister, which also made Michiko Suzuki beside him a little helpless. After all, this matter was discussed yesterday. At the last moment, even if some strength is exposed, he still has to win a championship.

"Ikeno-kun, don't worry, let's finish this competition. If we really get to the final step, let's use the ultimate killing move."

The harm between the two powers is the lesser, as long as you can regain a championship, it doesn't matter even if you let the other party know a little bit about your cards in advance.

After all, the Lord has a back-up plan, and if he is exposed by himself, it will either have a big impact, or he doesn’t know if the merits and demerits will be equalized by then.

But as long as I can vent my anger, it doesn't matter even if I get some punishment in the end.

Chu Yunfeng!
you wait for me!

The ferocious expression was quickly hidden, and Ikeno Taro continued to make his own dishes. He and Michiko Suzuki made a Zhejiang dish.

Dongpo Pig Knuckle!

This is an innovative dish, and the presentation has a strong Japanese style. In fact, this is also to confuse Chu Yunfeng and the others.

Taro Ikeno is good at Shandong cuisine, while Michiko Suzuki is good at Cantonese cuisine, and these two actually make Zhejiang cuisine. If Chu Yunfeng and the others knew about this, they would probably be really confused.

I don’t understand what’s going on at all. Could this be Yamada Shoichi’s backhand?
Chu Yunfeng's carving was still going on, but after the wings were carved out, everyone could see clearly that this was a phoenix.

But this phoenix is ​​different from the one on the first day of competition. This one obviously looks more noble because it is in a state of spreading its wings.

However, the torso has not been carved yet, but we can already imagine that its shape should be that of a head held high. Could this dish be a phoenix spreading its wings?

President Zhao really wanted to discuss the name of this dish with Dean Lu, but he quickly turned around and gave up the idea. He couldn't afford to offend this woman who was watching seriously!

Chu Yunfeng sculpted quickly, but he was able to direct Hu Yue's operation with his heart. This kind of action is simply unbelievable.

"Blanch the chicken, stuff the wings in, place it in shape, and set it first
Pour it first, a little slower
Chop the fish grits into fine pieces.
Soak the pigeon eggs first."

Orders were issued one by one, making Hu Yue obey his orders like a tool. It really meant that he did not dare to go east or west, and the cooperation was quite tacit.

Despite the fact that Hu Yue, a perfect tool, also stole a lot of shots, his fast and serious look made reporters take several close-ups of him.

Especially when he completed the task quickly, Chu Yunfeng did not give any prompts for the next step, and he helplessly spread his hands towards Chu Yunfeng, and his sullen look made everyone laugh.

Chu Yunfeng did not forget to joke and made everyone burst into laughter: "Brother, why are you so anxious? Take a rest, rest for a while."

Hu Yue was also amused by Chu Yunfeng, and made a helpless gesture. She was staring at Chu Yunfeng's carving movements when she was not doing anything, and she was also learning his techniques.

It was fast, it was too fast, and it was hard to see clearly. Hu Yue also felt helpless in her heart. She probably would never be able to catch up with such a technique in her life.

Especially when I learned from Guo Kui that Chu Yunfeng had a very high talent for carving since he joined the kitchen. In just a few years, he has grown so fast that he is like a little monster.

Anyone who doesn't know the details would definitely think that his carving skills must have been trained for more than ten years. If he hadn't seen Chu Yunfeng's youth, he would have guessed that he has been in the craft for 30 to [-] years.

Half an hour passed, and a lifelike phoenix appeared in front of everyone. When Chu Yunfeng attached two wings to it, it definitely played a finishing touch.

Pretty!

It's amazing!
Such a phoenix looks as if it is alive, giving people a noble and indecent feeling. This definitely carves out the essence of the phoenix.

If the pumpkin wasn't big enough, the only way to assemble it would be to carve extra wings. However, no one would think that Chu Yunfeng couldn't carve the whole thing. This was simply not a problem for his carving skills!
Many chefs felt a little uncomfortable when they saw the amazing work on the big screen.

I carved it to look like a chicken. When will I be able to carve such a lifelike piece of work?
Just by seeing this sculpture, many people already want to give up. This No.1 seems to be hopeless.
And Ikeno Taro also looked up, and then immediately lowered his head, his eyes closed tightly, and his teeth made a sound.
Peng Yue and Wu Junjie also looked up, and then shouted in their hearts: "Fuck me."

Do you want to be so violent?

But what everyone doesn’t know is that this is just the beginning!

Next, Chu Yunfeng continued to process the ingredients. The tails of the prawns were used as the tails of birds.

Hu Yue carefully peeled off the shell of the boiled pigeon eggs. He cut them gently with a diagonal knife and placed them in front of the fish grits. He gently opened a mouth in the middle with a knife and inserted a sharp cucumber slice into it. It was beautiful. The little mouth came out.

Black beans are used as eyes, which highlights the brightness.

The next step is simple. Just take the steamer and steam it for a while, and then Chu Yunfeng and Hu Yue start to arrange the dishes.

President Zhao and the others were fascinated by it, especially the carved phoenix. The wings also had a vibrating effect, which added to the sense of agility.

And with so many birds made at this time, President Zhao immediately came to a conclusion. Could it be that this dish is called "Hundred Birds Chao Feng"?

Mmm~!

It should be, otherwise there wouldn't be so many birds produced, and this time Chu Yunfeng made a hundred years and Wan Lao's are very different.

The birds made by Wan Lao all look the same, but the ones made by Chu Yunfeng are not only different in shape, but also have different colors of wings.

It really has the momentum of a hundred birds, and people are even more looking forward to the final effect of the presentation of this dish.

Some Western chefs did not participate in this competition, so they were all watching the excitement. After seeing the semi-finished products made by Chu Yunfeng, they said in their hearts that they were lucky not to participate.

The making of this Chinese food is really too complicated. If I had to learn the carving alone for ten years, I would probably not be able to make it.

But no one was aware of one thing, but President Zhao pointed it out: "Have you noticed that Master Chu has never changed his knife since the first day of the competition?"

Change knife?

hiss~!

It seems so!
There was only one knife on the cutting boards of him and Hu Yue, and they only used this one from the beginning to the end, and there were no other knives on the table.

After saying this, everyone became restless, especially Camino. He used at least five knives during the competition. Naturally, he used different knives to handle different ingredients.

Not to mention El Raffarin. He has more than 20 kinds of knives in his kitchen, and he always shows off to others. Each knife has a special function.

But as for Chu Yunfeng, everyone carefully recalled that no matter what dishes he made or processed various ingredients, he only used this knife.

Does this seemingly wide kitchen knife work so well?

The Western chefs all frowned. They had no idea how they could practice such knife skills. Just this clumsy-looking kitchen knife?

Neither long nor sharp, a knife like this can do it all?
Is this simply impossible?

But, Chu Yunfeng did it?

Dean Lu's words made everyone exclaim, so everyone began to become uneasy: "In this afternoon's sword competition, I guess Master Chu will still use this sword.

So do you think he can win the championship? "

President Zhao gave his own answer: "This is the most powerful thing about a true traditional Chinese chef. He can travel all over the world with one knife. I think there is no problem."

no problem?
Many Western chefs simply don't believe that such a knife can cut faster than their own knife?
