Chapter 215 Like Soup But Not Soup ([-])

Knife row chopping is one of the basic skills of chefs. It is to hold the knife in both hands, keep a certain distance, and use the strength of the wrist to chop repeatedly from left to right and from right to left. This is a knife that is extremely test of skill and strength Law.

But at this time, this weak-looking little girl was holding two knives that weighed more than ten kilograms, and wielded them as lightly as a brush.

The little apprentice in Jiangcheng lost his mind, he weighed the same kitchen knife with a stiff face, and stuck out his tongue secretly - if he were to chop with two knives, he would probably lose if he held on for a minute.

This look was watched by Chef Jiang calmly, and he asked, "Do you know where the gap is?"

The little apprentice bowed his head modestly: "My basic skills are still not solid enough."

Jiang Cheng nodded in satisfaction, and his gaze at Yu Jian softened a little.The little girl is still somewhat useful, at least she can make this unscrupulous apprentice realize his own shortcomings.

Crab roe and tofu soup was presented to the judges' table.Jiang Cheng turned on his toes and puffed up his chest facing the judges, full of confidence.

Shi Jiachuan observed the hair-thin shredded tofu in the soup bowl at close range, and his eyes were full of admiration: "I have heard the word 'Wensi' for a long time, and it really lives up to its reputation."

I saw that the tofu was cut to very fine and continuous, and the Guanjiangcheng soup was cooked gently.The soup base is clean, but the taste of chicken can be clearly tasted. The crab meat is used as the base, the egg white is used as the base, and the crab roe is garnished at the end to seal the fragrance.

"From this dish, we can see the chef's skill, steady but not chaotic, fine but not miscellaneous. Chef Jiang showed us what the pinnacle of knife skills is like!" Liu Chenggao continued, giving the same highly rated.

The lights on the judging panel were flickering and frozen, and both of them pressed the voting button at the same time, except Guan Shanyue, who was still immersed in the little soup left in the bowl, immersed in the delicious world.

The host reminded with a smile: "Professor Guan, what do you think of this Wensi tofu soup? Seeing that you enjoyed eating—"

"Of course it's delicious!" Guan Shanyue glared at him feigning displeasure, then hissed twice, "Don't disturb me tasting the food~"

Jiang Cheng stared at the voting button in his hand until he finally finished eating the last piece of shredded tofu, wiped his mouth with a paper towel, raised his orchid finger, and tapped the button lightly, then he was completely relieved.

You know, only two judges voted for him in the first round of the competition. For him, losing to Yu Jian was even more difficult for him to accept.He claims to be one of the most powerful chefs in China, but he didn't even grasp the appetite of the judges.

What a disgrace—

Now that he has all three votes in his hands, he is naturally confident that the rest of the public judges will bow down to a bowl of Vance Tofu Soup.

From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the little girl next to him who was busy with something, showing a comfortable smile.

……

"Boom, boom, boom!" Yu Jian held her breath and chopped the flying dragon leaves on the chopping board into pieces, threw away the knife in her left hand, turned the knife sideways in her right hand, and crushed the leaves bit by bit into mud.

He also took yam, peeled it with a hob, steamed it in a pan, and then pressed it into mud with the back of a knife.

Next, is the key seasoning work.

Don't look at the simple materials used in this Tai Chi Liangyi Soup, but since ancient times, simplicity has brought true knowledge.The broth in a pot is bubbling, and the leaf puree is quickly added, only seasoned with salt, and after boiling, starch is added to thicken it.

Put yam puree in another pot, add honey water to boil, add egg white and stir until thick.

After going back and forth, the color of Liangyi has formed, it is really white like snow, green like willow, the color is elegant but faintly reveals an unusual strength of character.

The ancient people's desire for longevity is a thought engraved in their bones, and it is also a luxury reflected in food.

With the disc on the bottom, Yu Jian holds the handle of the pot with both hands, and the Tai Chi Bagua diagram has been formed with the shaking of his wrists, and finally the colors are interspersed with each other. This is the Tai Chi Liangyi Soup that even the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty flocked to.

Shi Jiachuan couldn't hold back his inner excitement for a long time. He felt that watching it on the big screen was not enjoyable, so he pushed his chair and prepared to watch it up close. He was worrying about the idea of ​​the new book, but unexpectedly, he had an inspiration at this moment.

"I have learned the two poles of yin and yang, and I have embarked on the road of cultivating immortals." He shook his head and said in a high-pitched voice freely.I felt even more shocked when I got closer, and looked at Yu Jian even more, "Does this dish have a history?"

Yu Jian pursed her lips and smiled, just nodded and glanced at the lazy Guan Shanyue.

The latter twitched his lower lip and stared at her dissatisfied, probably blaming him for interrupting his lazy time, and felt that the little girl's eyes were firm, so he squeezed the microphone and said, "Writer of history, do you still have a blind spot in history?" Laugh at every opportunity.

How can Shi Jiazhuan not know the reason for this, still pretending to stare at him bitterly, with a sour tone in his tone: "I'm not a famous historian—"

This back and forth, full of program effects.

Even the host secretly gave thumbs up to the two of them, so good at it - this scene will definitely explode in the post-editing!

Guan Shanyue accepted his compliment without changing expression and heartbeat, and said calmly: "In 1278 AD, Zhao Nan, the last emperor of the Song Dynasty, fled south and stayed in a temple deep in the mountain. In the temple The Buddhist disciples respected him, and saw that he was exhausted and hungry all the way, so they picked fresh leaves from their own sweet potato field, removed the bitter leaves, and made soup. Song Xiaodi thought that this vegetable was green and fragrant, soft and delicious, I also felt that the Buddhist disciples were protecting themselves and the Song Dynasty, so they named this dish as a 'National Protecting Cuisine'. The Tai Chi Liangyi Soup cooked by Miss Yu must have evolved from the National Protecting Cuisine, right?"

Then he threw the question to Yu Jian on the stage.

"Yes, and no." Yu Jian replied, looking at Liangyi Geng unconsciously, she said slowly, "Since ancient times, Buddhism and Taoism have been competing for supremacy, and the emperor's desire for long-term power has made 'Longevity' The word has changed from vain to solid. In the past, Xu Fu went to the east to mine immortal medicine, and later Taizong was obsessed with the magic medicine of immortality. Who knows that the word is to conform to the nature of heaven, and it is enough to be in a normal state. It is like cooking, Moderation is the most perfect."

In just a few sentences, seeking the past and debating the present, all of them highlight Yu Jianyuan's knowledge and culture, and also vaguely distinguish a trace of life.

Guan Shanyue stroked her beard with a smile.

Shi Jiachuan showed surprise on his face, his eyes sparkled, and he felt his thoughts move in an instant, and he was overjoyed.

Even Jiang Cheng looked at this quiet little girl with admiration.

Then he looked at the little apprentice beside him scratching his head and ears, as if he was in a fog of hearing.

Comparing it around, I feel that there are really many aspects that he should practice——
