Your wedding dress concert, I will show you what you are anxious about after the day

The duck was cooked and the taste was delicious.

"Well, it's good. The skin is crispy, the color is ruddy, and the taste is delicious." Xia Tian picked up a piece and tasted it, and gave a thumbs up.

Liu Zhenxing also picked up a piece with chopsticks, and nodded after tasting it: "It's good, Lao Li, your cooking skills have improved again. It has been significantly improved compared to before."

Lao Li smiled and said: "Haha, I guess Master Xia gave too much pressure, and this time he performed exceptionally well."

After tasting Lao Li's camphor tea duck, Liu Zhenxing used chopsticks to separate Xia Tian's eight-treasure gourd duck from it.

Then he picked up the stuffing inside and put a piece of duck meat into his mouth.

After tasting Xia Tian's dishes, Liu Zhenxing's eyes widened instantly.

"Well! Great, this dish is really authentic. I haven't eaten such authentic eight-treasure gourd duck for a long time."

Liu Zhenxing praised while chewing.

Seeing Liu Zhenxing give such a high evaluation, Lao Li's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

But holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he also picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece to taste.

After tasting it, Lao Li shook his head and sighed, "This duck is really amazing. I won't say much else. I am convinced that Master Xia lost to you today."

Xia Tian said modestly, "Master Li, you don't have to praise me so much. I am just a young man who likes cooking. I can't stand your praise."

"I also tasted the camphor tea duck you made. It's quite good. I think we should call it a draw in this round. Our methods are different, and it is normal to have some differences in taste."

"After all, when it comes to dishes, everyone has their own unique taste and preferences. Maybe some people who like eight-treasure duck will think my dish is better, but if people who like roast duck come to comment, they will definitely think your dish is better. This is hard to say clearly."

Originally, everyone thought that since Xia Tian took the initiative to say so, this round should end in a draw.

After all, only if this round is a draw, then there is a need to continue the next round. Yuanzun Hotel also hopes to win a round with Liu Zhenxing's cooking skills.

As long as Liu Zhenxing beats Xia Tian, ​​the two sides will be considered a draw. Although they failed to win the match easily, it was still acceptable. At least their signature chef Liu Zhenxing withstood the pressure.

But to everyone's surprise, Liu Zhenxing, the executive chef of Yuan Zun, was the first to stand up and objected: "No, winning is winning and losing is losing. We are not as skilled as others, so we will go back and practice more. We must not rely on this kind of face-saving project to win. We Yuan Zun can't afford to lose, and if we can only tie with you in this way, it will only make us more embarrassed."

Xia Tian wanted to persuade him a little. After all, he came here just to borrow a kitchen and didn't really want to challenge.

"Master Liu, we are just exchanging and learning from each other. There is no need to be so serious, right?"

"No! Since we have an agreement and a bet, this is a formal competition. Chef Liu is right. Relying on other means to retain our face will only make us Yuan Zun more embarrassed."

As soon as Xia Tian finished speaking, a sonorous male voice came from the kitchen door.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in a well-dressed suit walking towards them.

Seeing the person coming, Liu Zhenxing immediately went up to him: "Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"

Mr. Zhang smiled and said: "Haha, I just heard the girl at the front desk say that someone came to challenge us, so I came to see the excitement."

Liu Zhenxing said with some shame: "Sorry, Mr. Zhang, I disappoint you. It's our poor skills that embarrassed Yuan Zun."

Mr. Zhang smiled nonchalantly: "What are you talking about? How can you blame me? As long as it's a competition, there will definitely be winners and losers. There is no sure win in this world. Since we accepted the opponent's PK , that means we are ready to lose. As long as everyone tries their best, we can afford to lose. "

After learning the other party's identity, Xia Tian said embarrassedly: "Mr. Zhang, don't get me wrong. I just heard that your dishes are very famous, and I want to exchange cooking skills with Chef Liu. As for the words about kicking the club, it was just a joke. "

"It's mainly because I'm young. If I don't say that, I'm worried that I won't be able to see Chef Liu. "

Mr. Zhang came over and shook hands with Xia Tian enthusiastically. Then he smiled and said, "It's okay.

"It's a good thing to exchange cooking skills. Whether you win or lose, we Yuanzun welcome you."

"To be honest, I prefer to see you win. This shows that our kitchen still has a lot of room for improvement. After all, it's not terrible to find a problem and fix it. What's terrible is that there is a problem and you don't know it."

"Then our exchange will not affect their work, right?" Xia Tian looked at Liu Zhenxing and asked.

Zhang Zong waved his hand and said, "Of course not. You know, I spent a lot of effort to invite Liu Chef and others. How could I be angry with them because of a PK failure?"

"But you, you are so good at cooking at such a young age. Are you interested in developing in our Yuanzun? If you are willing to come, I promise that your treatment will not be lower than Liu Chef. Don't worry, I'm not asking you two to compete. I have a new store opening in the next city in a few days, and I just need an executive chef."

Xia Tian hurriedly shook his head and declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Zhang Zong, but forget about work. Cooking is just a hobby for me. I have other jobs. "

Mr. Zhang also knew that if someone like Xia Tian wanted to work in the catering industry, he would have been famous long ago and would not have waited for his invitation.

He didn't take it to heart and said with a smile: "I see, I was abrupt."

"I won't bother you guys to compete. Chef Liu, it's your turn to perform next. Show your skills to Brother Xia and let him see the level of our Yuanzun Hotel."

Chef Liu nodded, looked at Xia Tian and asked: "Brother Xia, according to the PK results, you have actually won two wins in three games. I don't know if you are still interested in competing with me again?"

Xia Tian agreed without hesitation: "Of course, I came here for Chef Liu's reputation. If I can't see your skills, then I would have come in vain."

"You didn't even know his name before you came. You are really lying without blinking! "Listening to the polite words between Xia Tian and Liu Zhenxing, Qiu Mengyun couldn't help but complain in her heart.

"In that case, please come in!" Liu Zhenxing made a gesture of invitation, then put on an apron and started to prepare the ingredients.

Xia Tian was not polite either, and skillfully picked up the chicken on the side and started to prepare it.

Seeing that the two of them were busy, Mr. Zhang looked at the dishes on the side and asked: "Is this the dish you made during the PK just now?"

Master Li nodded and said: "Yes! This one is the camphor tea duck made by me, and the one over there is the eight-treasure gourd duck made by Master Xia. And that one is the squirrel mandarin fish made by Master Xia, and the one next to it is made by Master Wang. "

"No wonder I can beat you two, these two menus are top-notch from the appearance!" Mr. Zhang praised, picked up a pair of chopsticks from the side and started to taste the dishes.

He first tasted the dishes of Master Wang and Master Li, then nodded and said: "Well, there is no problem with the cooking, even above your level. "

Then he took some of Xia Tian's dishes and tasted them. After tasting them, he smiled and shook his head: "It's not unfair for you two to lose. The dishes he made are at least one level higher than yours!"

Master Li also smiled bitterly and said: "Well! This is why Chef Liu and I disagree with Master Xia's tie. The gap is too obvious. If this can be considered a tie, our Yuan Zun will be ridiculed if it gets out. "

Boss Zhang nodded: "You did the right thing!"

Before coming in, Qiu Mengyun was a little hungry. At this moment, she could only look at the food in front of her but could not eat it. Especially after listening to the comments of Boss Zhang and others, her desire for the food in front of her became stronger and stronger.

Perhaps because her desire was too strong, her stomach also made a dissatisfied protest at this time.

Her stomach was not rumbling, but no one was talking at this time.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Qiu Mengyun smiled awkwardly: "Ahem, sorry, I lost my composure when I saw the food. "

Just now, Mr. Zhang noticed the intimate interaction between Xia Tian and Qiu Mengyun. With his qualifications and vision, it was not difficult to guess the relationship between the two. He smiled and said, "It's okay, we are rude. Since it is a PK, how can only our people try the dishes? We should have invited you to try the dishes earlier."

"Come on, this beautiful lady, please comment on these dishes!"

Mr. Zhang is indeed an old man. In just a few words, he not only resolved Qiu Mengyun's embarrassment, but also let her eat the dishes naturally.

"Uh! This, this is not good?" Seeing so many people around looking at her, Qiu Mengyun said a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay, you came here to exchange cooking skills this time! Now your boyfriend and our chef Liu are concentrating on cooking, and we are trying together.

Eating and commenting on the dishes they cooked can also be regarded as exchanging cooking skills! "Mr. Zhang naturally understood that Qiu Mengyun's words were just because she was shy, and immediately gave her an excuse that she couldn't refuse.

"Haha! Since it's for cooking exchange, I won't be polite!"

After saying that, Qiu Mengyun didn't care whether there were people watching around, and picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

She first ate the camphor tea duck made by Master Li, wanting to see how this duck praised by Xia Tian was.

"Well! Delicious, it's better than the Imperial Capital Roast Duck I had before."

Although her mouth was full of oil, Qiu Mengyun didn't forget that she was exchanging cooking skills. While greeting the next dish, she gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Try Master Xia's Eight Treasure Gourd Duck, which is absolutely at the level of a state banquet."

"Well! This is delicious too. ”

Seeing Qiu Mengyun eating happily, the others all turned their heads tacitly and shifted their gaze to Xia Tian and Liu Zhenxing, so as not to delay her eating.

They could turn their heads away and not watch, but the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't do it.

Qiu Mengyun was eating here with her mouth full of oil, which made the fans in the live broadcast room suffer.

: Woo woo woo! Why are you so cruel to me? I haven't even had time to eat a mouthful of instant noodles since I worked overtime, and now you show me this.

: Qiu Mengyun is too much. Just eat it, why do you have to smack your lips!

: Ah ah ah! I really want to try the eight-treasure gourd duck made by Xia Tian. How delicious is it!

: It must be delicious, otherwise it would be impossible for Master Li and Chef Liu to admit defeat voluntarily. Even Mr. Zhang said that they did not lose unfairly.

: To be honest, Xia Tian really surprised me a little. Look at him When he was cooking on the show, I thought he was just a home cook. Now it seems that this guy is completely a professional chef of a star hotel!

: Haha! How can he not be professional? He is going to single-handedly overthrow a five-star hotel.

: I am curious, who did this guy Xia Tian learn his cooking skills from? There are squirrel mandarin fish and eight-treasure gourd duck, all of which are state banquet dishes!

: This is not strange, right? Now that Douyin is so developed, there are tutorials for these dishes on Douyin. As long as you are diligent enough, you can learn them by following Douyin.

…

In the kitchen, He Yunting saw Liu Zhenxing put the chicken into the meat grinder and beat it into a paste. Not only that, it was filtered several times with a gauze net.

She curiously pulled the sleeve of Xie Jinglong beside her and asked, "Ah Long, what dish is Liu Che preparing? His chicken is all beaten into a paste, can it still be eaten?"

Xie Jinglong whispered, "Shh! Keep your voice down, don't disturb them. What Chef Liu is preparing now is chicken tofu, which is one of the top ten classic Sichuan dishes and also a national banquet dish. "

As a female star, He Yunting usually eats whatever is arranged by others, and she doesn't know much about traditional cooking.

She asked curiously: "Chicken tofu? Is there such a dish in our national banquet?"

Xie Jinglong nodded and gave her a popular science explanation: "Yes, don't underestimate this dish. Chicken tofu has a history of hundreds of years. This dish is known as the signature dish of Sichuan cuisine. It pays attention to "eating chicken without seeing the chicken" and "eating meat without seeing the meat", and making meat ingredients into vegetarian shapes, which is what people call "using meat to support vegetarian food." "

After listening to Xie Jinglong's story, He Yunting said with admiration: "Although I don't understand it very well, I feel it's amazing."

Xie Jinglong smiled and said: "Of course, there are thousands of delicacies in our Daxia. There are so many mouth-watering delicacies in the eight major cuisines alone. None of the dishes that can be selected for the state banquet are simple. "

He Yunting nodded and said, "Well! That's right. Our Great Xia is indeed the ancestor in terms of food. It seems that Chef Liu is serious this time. He even brought out his signature chicken tofu. How can Xia Tian win?"

This time, Xie Jinglong did not agree with her, but shook his head and retorted, "It's really hard to say this time. Who will win this game in the end will have to wait until their dishes are finished before the final result can be seen."

"Why? You don't think that Xia Tian can win Chef Liu's signature chicken tofu by just hitting the chicken with a knife now, right?" He Yunting asked puzzled.

Xie Jinglong said with a serious expression, "You are wrong. He is not hitting it randomly, but making it in the traditional way."

"What do you mean? "He Yunting didn't understand the professional terms Xie Jinglong said at all.

Xie Jinglong said: "To put it simply, Xia Tian and Chef Liu made the same dish, and the dish he is making now is also chicken tofu pudding."
