Happy private dishes

Chapter 116

Xiao Xu stood aside confidently, ready to go all out to make another victory.

Everyone looked at the rostrum in unison.I saw the old chairman who had supported Kou Yuanyuan just now, walking slowly to the turntable, and did not forget to put on a chic posture.

The old man pulled hard, and the turntable filled with ingredients spun quickly.

The turntable selection of dishes is also a new thing created by the Chefs Association this year.

Last year, a chef from a dumpling shop lodged a complaint with the Gourmet Association. "The so-called Star Rising Contest sounds good, and it's open to all newly opened restaurants. But in fact, it doesn't give Chef Bai a chance at all."

As a result, some disputes occurred, and some white case chefs even openly questioned the fairness of the star promotion competition. "Could it be that gourmets don't eat steamed buns, don't eat noodles, and eat signature dishes all day long?"

Therefore, in order to determine the fairness of the competition this year, people from the Gourmet Association prepared this turntable.First go to fish.At that time, Kou Yuanyuan's heart was on Zhao Feiran, and she was not interested in watching a strange old man play roulette at all.

Now, she has let her boyfriend see how handsome she is cooking.It was her brother's turn to appear again, so Kou Yuanyuan reluctantly took a look.

Following the "long" wait, the pointer of the turntable calmly stopped on the blue bar with Baozi written on it.Then, all the chefs and audience were stunned.

"It's actually a steamed stuffed bun?"

"This is too much fun!"

The audience in the audience talked a lot, and I believe that no one will question the fairness of the Food Association anymore.However, now everyone can't help but start to suspect that making steamed buns on the spot will immediately drop TV ratings, right?Compared to the little girl's magical knife skills just now, who would like to see a few big men come up on stage to make buns?

Among the four restaurants participating in the competition, except for the chefs of the small cold noodle restaurant, they were cheering.The other cooks looked devastated.

Even Kou Yuanyuan looked at Xiao Xu nervously. "Brother, what should we do? Do you want the master to come out early?"

"What are you talking about? Master is going to be the finale!" Xiao Xu looked at Kou Yuanyuan seriously.

As soon as he heard the ingredients for the competition, the confidence brought by Kou Yuanyuan dissipated in an instant.The three of them from the old Lu family are all red chefs.Chef Hongan, who has nothing to do to make steamed buns?Kou Yuanyuan felt that the second round would be unlucky.

She has also made rainbow buns, she can try to copy the buns made by Mr. Liu, the great master of the white case.But what about Xiao Xu?
"I haven't done it before, what should I do?" Kou Yuanyuan couldn't help asking what was in her heart.

"It's okay. I can skin the lion's head!" Xiao Xu said indifferently.

"..." Kou Yuanyuan felt speechless.This is an official game, right?Do you have to play like this?

"Hahaha..." Lu Yuchi, who was standing beside him, was amused by the two apprentices.

"What are you worried about? You can't do it, and other people's family may not be able to do it? Except for the chef at the Xiaoleng Noodle Restaurant. The other two groups don't seem to be very good at pastry. So, don't worry. Poor scores, wait for the master Will find a way to make up for it.”

After listening to the master's words, Kou Yuanyuan finally relaxed a little bit.Things have come to this, simply do your best to obey the destiny!

"I will work hard to make buns!" Xiao Xu said with enthusiasm.

"Well, brother, then you have to work hard!" Kou Yuanyuan continued to cheer him up.

The presenter was called to the front of the rostrum just now, and after talking for a while, he soon walked up to the stage again.

"The topic that was drawn in the second competition was steamed stuffed bun, because it was a live competition, and the scope of the competition was too single to affect the fairness. Therefore, after discussion by the competition organizing committee, the scope of this competition was automatically expanded, and the contestants could also do Shaomai and Steamed dumplings."

The host just finished saying this, and the audience almost threw tomatoes down.

"Is there any mistake? Is there any difference between adding siu mai and steamed dumplings?"

"That's right, it's not just a layer of skin and a ball of stuffing. Could it be that these unlucky chefs in the red case can still make the buns bloom?"

"That's right! This time, Chef Bai's case must have nothing to say. Those who use big spoons should go crazy!"

No matter what the audience said, Kou Yuanyuan was excited when she heard that there were steamed dumplings.

"Brother, you can do that!"

"Which one?" Xiao Xu asked curiously.

Kou Yuanyuan leaned in front of Xiao Xu and whispered, "It's four-color steamed dumplings! We have made that in the gold medal chef. Zhao Feiran passed it for you at that time!"

After hearing this, Xiao Xu couldn't help but nodded. "Yeah, I can do that. But I don't remember the exact steps."

"I remember!" Kou Yuanyuan whispered.She is always ready to recite to Xiao Xu the recipe steps and precautions of the four-color steamed dumplings.Then, she was hit on the head by Xiao Xu.

"You jealous guy, what kind of brains are you! You always remember the math formula wrong. You can't forget the dishes you have cooked for a year! You are really good! But, it really doesn't matter. You Brother has already figured out what to do!"

After Xiao Xu finished speaking, he looked at his sister calmly. "Do you think that you are the only one who cares about the elders? Your brother also often helps Aunt Lu make buns. Besides, I really did make stuffed buns a few days ago. So, don't worry!"

"Oh." Kou Yuanyuan stared blankly at Xiao Xu.

I don't know when, Xiao Xu has actually grown up and matured.Although he would get angry occasionally, but facing the upcoming competition, he was actually so calm.He knew exactly what he was going to do.

Is it because the master has been affirming Xiao Xu's senior brother status?Is it because of the long-term encouragement and guidance of the master?It was also because of the dark training this past month that Xiao Xu used his endurance to challenge his limits time and time again.Coupled with four years of hard training, his knife skills finally showed a leap forward.

Half a month ago, Kou Yuanyuan went to work a little late, and saw Xiao Xu standing beside her master with red eyes.

The master said to him with a serious face, "Look, your knife skills are already qualified. Do you know what I like most about you? You are willing to be patient and steady. This is also where you are better than ordinary people. You look for it If you achieve your goal, you will not be influenced by the outside world. Coupled with a keen sense of taste and excellent pyrotechnics, you will definitely be better than anyone else in the future. You envy the younger sisters and younger brothers with their own strengths, and feel that you are mediocre no matter what. However, how much water a bucket can hold is actually determined by the shortest plank. So, in fact, you have always been able to hold a lot more water than people of your generation."

Just at this time, Kou Yuanyuan walked in, and the master slapped Kou Yuanyuan on the shoulder. "Your junior sister's pyrotechnics is the shortest piece of wood. So, the dishes that the senior brother can cook now, the genius junior sister can't cook! Yuanyuan wants to learn from the senior brother, you know?"

"..."

Sure enough, in the second match, it was the beautiful elder sister who played at Yellow Fish Restaurant.

When the eldest sister came to Xiao Xu's side, she gave him a contemptuous look and didn't say much.And the chef of the small cold noodle restaurant showed a smug face, it seemed that it was finally time for him to be elated.The chef of Dazheng Sichuan Restaurant is preparing to fight with a serious face.

With the sound of the gong, the game officially began.

The ingredients that Xiao Xu chose were fat and thin black-skinned pork belly, water chestnuts and fresh bamboo shoots.The eldest sister of Yellow Fish Restaurant gets pork and prawns, glutinous rice and spinach.

At the beginning of the competition, Kou Yuanyuan paid attention to the elder sister first, and saw that she first washed the spinach and squeezed it into juice with a juicer.

"She's going to paint the buns!" Kou Yuanyuan guessed in a low voice.Kou Yuanyuan has also made spinach buns and carrot buns before, so she is very familiar with the process.

"Well, she might do fancy styles." The master added on the side.

"Why does she still use glutinous rice?" Kou Yuanyuan continued to ask.

"Probably make jadeite siu mai, or fancy siu mai!" The master continued to explain to her.

"Like This!"

Soon Kou Yuanyuan began to pay attention to her brother, but the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became.

Xiao Xu first washed and drained the fat and thin medium pork belly of the black-skinned pig, and put it in the quick-freezing refrigerator.Then, when the dough is ready, chop the water chestnuts and fresh bamboo shoots.Xiao Xu quickly made a uniform sound of chopping vegetables with one hand.He does these tasks with ease.

When the time was almost up, Xiao Xu took out the frozen black-skinned pork and sliced ​​it one by one.

Seeing Xiao Xu's desperate way of making steamed stuffed buns without using a meat grinder, the audience in the audience went into a commotion.

"What the hell is this kid doing?"

"Why does he freeze pork?"

"Chef Hong's making steamed buns really made things difficult for this little brother."

However, at this moment, the photographer took a close-up of Xiao Xu's hand. Looking at the big screen, the audience became silent.Xiao Xu's kitchen knife is indeed not as fancy as Kou Yuanyuan's, but he cuts the pork into pieces the size of pomegranate grains, and then puts them in a pot with minced ginger, chopped green onion, and seasonings, and beats them hard.

"What the hell is he doing?" A viewer couldn't help asking his doubts.

"No way?" Kou Yuanyuan couldn't help howling when she saw this.

Only listening to the voice of the on-site director Zhao Feiran spread to the entire venue through the radio. "He's making a lion's head."

"Master, brother, he actually wants to make a lion's head?" Kou Yuanyuan thought Xiao Xu was joking when he said that he wanted to wrap the lion's head.But he didn't expect Xiao Xu to really play such a trick on the field.

Although no one in the store has said it, everyone knows that Aunt Lu is actually a master pastry chef.The steamed stuffed buns she makes are delicate and changeable, but the taste is always salty and sweet, mainly fresh, with the richness of northern dim sum.

The biggest feature of Aunt Lu’s buns is that the bun skin and fillings transition naturally and then blend together, allowing the tip of the tongue to fully enjoy the deliciousness of the whole bun.

However, if you wrap the lion's head, the lion's head is indeed delicious, but it is too heavy.There is no way to blend with the dough at all!

If the skin is the skin and the stuffing is the stuffing, if the stuffing is delicious and amazing, it will be judged badly by these gourmets.

Lu Yuchi looked at Kou Yuanyuan's nervous little face, and couldn't help but want to laugh again.

"Why can't the lion's head be wrapped? You may not know that not only you have learned other master's skills, but Xiao Xu has also learned how to make steamed stuffed buns from Aunt Lu. Even if his skills are not perfect, at least he has learned some steamed stuffed buns. Essence. Hard-working children in this world will never suffer. Besides, who told you that you can’t make lion’s head? It is recorded in ancient books that the famous Duxia Mantou in the Song Dynasty was originally called Duzier Mantou. Whole steamed lion's head wrapped in steamed buns."

The little girl Kou Yuanyuan probably suffered a lot because of her father's affair.Therefore, she habitually hides her emotions in front of others, and then quickly blends in with the people around her in a very low-key way, and becomes a ball.

She's really annoying.However, at the beginning, she actually didn't trust anyone except Fang Shulan.No matter how friendly you get along with him and Xiao Xu.However, Kou Yuanyuan has been guarding against them all along.

After getting along for a year, Kou Yuanyuan finally began to learn to think for him, for Xiao Xu, for friends like Liu Xiaomei.

Perhaps, Kou Yuanyuan didn't realize that she couldn't hide her worry about Xiao Xu anymore.

In just one year, not only Xiao Xu is growing up, but Kou Yuanyuan is also growing up, so shouldn't it be time for him as a master to grow up too?
It is not only the cooking skills that have grown, but also the heart that was once scarred.
