Chapter 1369

"Wan Lao, I have an idea, can we improve the progress!"

Chu Yunfeng's words were a bit earth-shattering, which made Wan Lao and the others feel strange. Improving progress was no joke.

In fact, each step of a dish like palace cuisine contains a lot of connotations, and it often requires repeated scrutiny to understand the mystery of this technique.

Just like the braised beef head recipe that Chu Yunfeng made just now, Wan Lao and the others asked several questions in a row until Chu Yunfeng made it clear before letting him continue.

Could it be that Chu Yunfeng meant to speed up the production? How could this be possible?
Master Qi Luozhou immediately frowned and said, "Xiao Chu, you can't rush this matter. Just do it slowly. We have plenty of patience. Slow work will bring out fine work!"

???

When Chu Yunfeng heard this, he felt his scalp numb. It is true that slow work yields fine work. I can work slower and let you watch slowly, but you have guessed what I meant!
Xiang Shuhua seemed a little anxious, coughed twice and said: "Yes, Xiao Chu, don't look at the fact that we don't have many dishes, but they are all exquisite, and the essence of them must be slowly understood!" "

Another master, Chai Weihong, stroked his long beard and nodded in approval, but Mr. Li was snickering from the side, quietly drinking tea and "watching the show" with Mu Qing.

"Uh~!" Chu Yunfeng was a little embarrassed to speak. If he said this, would it make the three of them feel that they were too arrogant?

But what should be said is that if you learn all the dishes of the Manchu-Han Banquet as soon as possible, you will have more time to do other things.

So after a pause, Chu Yunfeng said with a sense of apology: "Old Wan, you misunderstood, what I mean is that the three of you can cook at the same time.

If it doesn't affect your ability to watch me cook, you can cook at any time. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time. Do you think this is okay? "

???

At first, Wan Lao and the others didn't get it back, but when they "understood" Chu Yunfeng's meaning, Wan Lao was so angry that his beard almost stood up.

What does this kid mean?
This is looking down on us, isn't it?
Are you fooling us into thinking we are just ordinary chefs?
What does it mean that we can ask you questions at any time when you cook? Without delaying us from watching you cook, do you think you can see and understand the dishes we cook clearly?

Can you say such arrogant words?
Not to mention Wan Lao, even the other three masters were extremely angry, especially Master Chai Weihong, who almost pulled off his beard in a hurry just now.

Mr. Li was just watching the excitement and didn't take it too seriously, and even burst out laughing, making Chu Yunfeng smile bitterly.

After losing his composure, he immediately attracted the firepower, which made Mr. Li a little depressed.

Wan Lao naturally got mad at Mr. Li: "Old man Li, listen, listen carefully. This is what your apprentice said. I have never seen such a loud voice in all these years."

"Good guy, they say you are quite humble, but I didn't expect that I was mistaken!" Master Xiang Shuhua quickly endured his anger and stopped coughing.

The pain in Master Chai Weihong's jaw had not yet passed, and he said angrily: "Is it because I was dazzled or deaf just now? How come I heard that it was Old Man Li who said this?"

"Pfft~!"

Now it was Mu Qing's turn to be unable to bear it any longer, and quickly turned her head away, struggling to hold back the smile that came from her.

How could Mr. Li not know what Chu Yunfeng was thinking? If the normal progress was followed, Chu Yunfeng would cook one dish and Wan Lao would cook another.

Next, Chu Yunfeng continued to do one, and followed up with Master Shuhua. The following sequence was basically the same. If this process was followed, less than three months would definitely not be enough.

Wan Lao and the others actually didn't care much about this time. Although they knew that Chu Yunfeng was going to participate in the international cooking competition, there was no problem in continuing after he came back.

But Chu Yunfeng didn't want to wait. Now that he had said this, Mr. Li naturally had to push, so he coughed and said: "Well, I discussed this with him yesterday.

Isn't he going to participate in a competition? He wants to learn all these dishes before the competition and leave some time to consolidate.

Just follow what he said, as long as you don't worry about cooking four dishes this time, he can only cook one dish! "

What was agreed before was that one dish would be replaced with another. If Wan Lao and the others each cooked one dish, it would be four dishes, and Chu Yunfeng might have only cooked one dish.

So after Mr. Li brought up this relatively sensitive topic, Wan Lao became even more depressed.

"Old man Li, who are you looking down on? Is this what we care about?" Although Wan Lao said this, in fact, he didn't care. Mr. Li also had a strong conscience in his heart.

If you don't care, why rush to Chengdu and write it down in black and white?
Master Xiang Shuhua was really angry at this moment. He coughed several times before he stopped: "Humph, I don't have any problem, but I have to say something ugly first. I will only cook this dish once!"

As soon as he said this, Wan Lao's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought that what Master Xiang Shuhua did was right. If he can't learn this, we can't be blamed.

Master Chai Weihong also added fuel to the fire. At this time, he was afraid that Chu Yunfeng would regret it and wanted to teach him a lesson, so he immediately said with a smile: "Then it's settled, Lao Wan, let's get started!"

Get started!
The four masters immediately cooperated very well. It was obvious that they wanted to give Chu Yunfeng and even Mr. Li a blow, and the timing was so good.

Because Chu Yunfeng is making braised beef scalp at the moment, all the previous key steps are basically completed, and the only thing left is to boil the beef scalp.

The cooking time is nothing to behold. It takes five or six hours on low heat. Can you still see the flowers if you stare at it?

So the four masters immediately began to place all the ingredients on the table, and then placed the pot on the stove with a "bang bang bang bang" sound, deliberately making the sound so loud.

Seeing that his "plot" had succeeded and that the four masters were so cooperative with him, Chu Yunfeng did not dare to show any secret joy on his face, and still stood there in a dazed state.

This made the four masters feel very proud, especially when they looked at Mr. Li who was still drinking tea leisurely, they suddenly felt proud.

Look, look, I'll let you take a good look. The four of us are cooking together. I think you can spot a flower?

The four of us have almost the same thoughts, especially when Chu Yunfeng wants to ask questions later, as long as he chooses one of the four of us, the other three will speed up their hands a little more to let He saw it "really"!
Chu Yunfeng's appearance of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger made Mu Qing slightly shake her head. At this moment, Mrs. Li secretly laughed in her heart, but her face still showed a look of hesitation, and she cooperated with Chu Yunfeng very tacitly .

The first dish Wan Lao made was Hydrangea and Scallops, Qi Luozhou made Yipin Guanyan, Master Xiang Shuhua made roasted shark skin with green onions, and Master Chai Weihong made Erlong Playing Pearls.

This is the order of the exchange dishes that was written in black and white before, but Chu Yunfeng still has to make butterfly sea cucumber, snowflake chicken soup and spinach dumpling fish maw.

Here Niutoufang has been thrown into the pot and started to cook. The four masters got started quickly, and they had shallow smiles on their faces, and they looked at each other and smiled from time to time.

I still don’t believe it. You kid can really learn it just by looking at it?

The hydrangeas and scallops made by Wan Lao have a long history. This dish was a very famous dish in the palace in the past, and the ingredients used had strict requirements.

Scallops are actually scallops. At that time, the scallops used in making this dish in the palace could not be domestically produced, and all were made with tributes.

Among the tributes, the scallops from the Ryukyu Kingdom are the most precious, so the taste of this dish is definitely one of the best, and the word hydrangea in front of this dish highlights the artistic sense of this dish.

There are not many ingredients, and Chu Yunfeng can see them very clearly, including scallops, chicken breasts, prawns, pork belly, eggs, ham, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, Shanghai greens, etc.

Although this scallop is not a tribute, ahem, the quality is quite good and the size is not small. It seems that the quality of the ingredients sent by Wan Lao is not low.

Wan Lao was also very fast in his hands. After soaking the scallops in hot water, he immediately put them in a basket and started steaming them. He peeled the pork belly and started to chop the stuffing.

In fact, just by hearing the name, you can tell that the dish Yipinguanyan must use bird's nest. Yes, this dish is actually a dessert, but it is not that simple to make it into a high-quality product.

Master Qi Luozhou not only chose lobster, but also used ham, which made Chu Yunfeng look forward to what he would do after this sublimation.

Grilled shark skin with green onions!
Chu Yunfeng knows the most about sharks, and most of them eat shark fins in countries around the world.

The reason is also very simple. This shark fin has the highest value, and the remaining meat has a strong fishy smell. Basically, everyone will not eat it, let alone the rough and fishy shark skin.

However, Chinese cooking is extensive and profound. Most of the chicken feet, pig's trotters and other ingredients that foreigners don't like to eat are basically sold to the Chinese region and made into various delicacies.

The magical cooking skills of China give these ingredients a unique taste, which often makes people want to stop eating them.

The same goes for this roasted shark skin with green onions. When the processed shark skin is uniquely roasted, the taste will definitely be extraordinary.

Chu Yunfeng saw that the ingredients prepared by Master Xiang Shuhua were not many, such as winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, green onions, etc. Chu Yunfeng knew that the most important thing in this dish was to remove the fishy smell, and he would also check whether the subsequent preparation was braised in brown sauce. .

If it were ordinary firing, the requirements for removing the fishy smell would be quite high, so Chu Yunfeng looked at it more carefully.

The last master, Chai Weihong, made Erlong Xizhu. What puzzled Chu Yunfeng was that he actually used two main ingredients for this dish.

One is carp and the other is hairtail.

This made Chu Yunfeng extremely puzzled. Can these two main ingredients be paired together?
But when Chu Yunfeng saw Wan Lao and the others seeing Master Chai Weihong's actions, they all nodded and smiled without saying a word. Master Chai Weihong even shook his head proudly and shook his long beard. Chu Yunfeng had made a bold guess.

Could it be that this is preparing to make two kinds of artistic conception dishes? No wonder two kinds of ingredients are used. This is really giving yourself eye drops.

He must be preparing to handle these two kinds of fish at any time when he is not paying attention, so that he cannot see clearly or confuse the cooking techniques and steps.

There must be more than two ways to make these two dragons play with pearls. It seems that I have made a profit today. This is equivalent to learning one more dish.

Now that these four people have started to put eye drops on themselves, then I have to make them happy. In case Wan Lao and the others are happy, wouldn't it be better to learn from Master Chai Weihong and cook one more dish?
So when Wan Lao and the others thought that Chu Yunfeng would watch them cook honestly and wait until they finished watching before starting to cook, they didn't expect that he would actually start cooking too?

"Well, I've also started cooking, uh~! This dish is called Butterfly Sea Cucumber."

Chu Yunfeng paused. He really couldn't say the next words. He really wanted to say that if you have any questions, you can interrupt me at any time, but he didn't dare to say this now.

And Chu Yunfeng showed a slightly angry look. After quickly reporting the name of the dish, he immediately started processing the chicken breast.

The most important thing in making this butterfly sea cucumber is the making of chicken grits, which is just minced chicken. This kind of processing method is not in the eyes of the four masters.

Especially when they saw Chu Yunfeng's very depressed look, the four masters were even more happy. This guy is in a hurry. It seems he wants to give us eye drops.

But it's a pity that you are just making a dish, and we can stop it at any time. If you stop it, we will not pay attention to you. Just do it. Let's see if you can be as fast as us?

Wan Lao looked at Mr. Li with a very proud look in his eyes. After Mr. Li noticed it, he immediately turned his gaze as soon as they made contact.

It was obvious that he was feeling a little weak, which made Wan Lao feel extremely comfortable, as if he had made up for all the shortcomings he had suffered at Mr. Li's place.

The sea cucumbers on Chu Yunfeng's side had been foamed early in the morning, and there was no need for him to do any extra processing. However, the four masters needed to take a closer look at the method of cutting the sea cucumbers later.

The kitchen was naturally very lively, and the training team was also a little lively. The morning study had already puzzled many people, but no one discussed it.

In the afternoon, Section Chief Yu conducted a roll call, and everyone was even more confused, because everyone's name was called, but one person's name was missing.

It's as if this person doesn't exist in the training team. He's not even named. What's going on?

No problem, the person whose name was not called at all was naturally Chu Yunfeng, but Section Chief Yu didn't seem to care about it at all, and no one raised any questions during the roll call in the afternoon.

But by the time of the intermission of the afternoon training session, some people could not contain their curiosity.

"Are we missing someone here?"

"Yeah, it seems like the lack of a personal leader didn't notice it at all?"

"You didn't find out, but you just knew that if you get first place, you won't come to the training camp?"

"That's right. If I had known, I would have tried to get first place. If I didn't think about it, I wouldn't have done it!"

"Stop guessing. Maybe you asked for help if something happened. Wasn't it like this before?"

puff~!

When the discussion turned into ridicule, it immediately caused a lot of people to laugh, and in the process, Peng Yue and Wu Junjie had already paid attention to it secretly.

Especially the person who started the topic was Gao Yaoxiang from Su Cai, while Yun Yao not only did not participate in the discussion, he didn't even smile.

Everyone watched the actions of these people silently, and no one seemed to care too much. It was still early, and I would definitely find you out later.
