Is there something wrong with making food a beast?

Chapter 82
Three days, whether it is long or not, is not short.

During the retreat preparations for the four advanced contestants, time seemed to pass by in an instant.

But for the countless people who followed the ranking competition, three days seemed particularly long.

In the past three days, the situation of the four knockout matches has become the topic of countless people's gossip.

However, unlike the turmoil after the scoring competition, the most discussed this time was not Lake, the champion of the Danju City cooking competition, and his creative dish "Shanhe Yuntian", but Qin Lang's Wensi Tofu.

Shred tofu in a way few cooks have thought to do before.

But when Qin Lang showed such miraculous knife skills in the competition, the other Yuling Chefs couldn't help but try it one after another.

Facts have proved that there are still capable people in Dongxia City.

Within two days, several imperial chefs who were famous for their knife skills appeared one after another to do similar things.

But more, it is a Yuling chef who posted his failed works on social platforms.

And their failure also made more imperial chefs try.

An inexplicable shredded tofu challenge swept across Dongxia City, and even tended to spread to neighboring cities.

Under normal circumstances, municipal cooking competitions will not attract the attention of other cities, because each city has its own municipal cooking competitions.

Only higher-level state-level cooking competitions will attract the attention of all cities in the state.

But relying on the challenge of cutting shredded tofu, Qin Lang even had a tendency to get out of the circle.

Amid the rising heat, the third round of the municipal cooking competition officially kicked off.

"ladies and gentlemen!"

In the Dongxia arena, the host's mood was as high as ever.

"After two rounds of intense and exciting competitions, the scoring competition and the knockout round, there are only four contestants left in this year's Dongxia City Cooking Competition!"

"they are!"

"From Danju City, the Lake player who aims to obtain the second second-level food recommender badge!"

"From Dongxia City, the dark horse contestant Qin Lang who stood out in this year's cooking competition!"

"From Dongxia City, a food fighting demon king Tang Xie player with a hundred food fighting experience!"

"From Dongxia City, a new generation Zhu Ming contestant from a family of imperial chefs!"

"At this moment, they will have a two-day competition for the ranking of the top four!"

"Today, we will witness the birth of the winner's group and the loser's group together!"

"The first thing to do next is a duel between a group of two players!"

"Their competition items are a fixed portion of ingredients, and the details are chicken breasts."

"Let us give the warmest applause to contestants Qin Lang and Tang Xie, and look forward to their wonderful culinary collision!"

Amid the applause and cheers reverberating from the audience, Lei Ke and Zhu Ming temporarily left the field to prepare for the competition in the sidelines, while Qin Lang and Tang Xie walked into the two arenas located in the center of the field under countless fiery gazes. standard kitchen.

"Ding--"

With the sound of an electric bell, the exterior walls of the two competitive standard kitchens became opaque at the same time.

The first ranking match, let's start!
After the electric bell rang, the warm-up performance arranged in advance by the competition center followed up.

This time, the show for everyone is Zhang Xiyue, a famous performer from Tianhua Prefecture specially invited by the competition center. She is an imperial chef who has three spirits, and the three spirits can cooperate with each other through combat skills. Bring beautiful special effects to show.

When she appeared in the arena with the rise of the lifting platform, she directed the three food spirits to start the wonderful performance that had been prepared in the beautiful music.

And in the competitive standard kitchen that cannot be influenced by the outside world, Qin Lang and Dan Bao started cooking today.

After all preparations were completed, one person and one spirit came to the table.

On the cutting board, there is a piece of chicken breast that is larger than ordinary chicken breast and looks full of elasticity.

Ordinary chicken breasts are only two or three taels, but this piece of chicken breast is a full five taels.

There does not need to be too many dishes in the cooking competition, and the dishes cooked with only this piece of chicken breast are more than enough to divide into twelve portions.

It is taken from the king phoenix chicken that Qin Lang and Dan Bao brought back from the Wuhe breeding base, and it is also the main ingredient today.

After simply removing the fascia on the surface of the chicken breast with a knife, Qin Lang took a deep breath and pulled out a second kitchen knife from the knife holder on the side.

Two identical kitchen knives were held by Qin Lang's left and right hands, with the blade facing up and the back of the knife facing down, and began to beat the chicken breast in front of him in rapid succession.

There are three miraculous dishes in Sichuan cuisine, which have the reputation of "you can't see the chicken when you eat chicken".

The three dishes are chickpeas, hibiscus chicken slices and snowflake chicken nao.

What Qin Lang is going to do today is the last dish, the Snowflake Chicken Nao known as "Chicken World Souffle".

Its ingredients are simple, but the recipe is complex.

The most difficult part is to hammer the chicken breast into a meat paste.

It must be "hammered" with the back of the knife, not "chopped" with the blade, because it takes patience to remove the tendons, and the blade will cut off the meat and tendons together, making the two inseparable.

Even if two kitchen knives are used, this process still takes more than 10 minutes.

Ordinary people beat continuously for such a long time, and their hands would definitely be sore. Fortunately, the spiritual power in the star veins of Yulingchu has a certain nourishing effect on the body.

This is the key factor for him to be able to stably complete the production of Ji Nao after two days of continuous training.

While beating with the back of the knife, use the tip of the knife to remove the tendons in the meat paste.

After 10 minutes, there is only light pink chicken breast puree with fine texture left on the cutting board.

Transferring the mashed chicken breast meat into a large bowl, Qin Lang walked to the boiler beside him.

The scallions and ginger slices in the boiler are boiled with clean water, and have dropped to room temperature for such a long time.

Filter out the scallion and ginger, leaving only the scallion and ginger water, add a small amount to the chicken breast mash and beat vigorously, so that the meat mash can fully absorb the water.

"Gollum!"

Dan Bao gently pushed the small bowl filled with eggs with his big tail, indicating that he had processed it with fresh and full.

I, Dan Bao, a good helper in the kitchen!

"well-done."

Qin Lang gave a word of encouragement with a smile, put the whipped chicken breast meat aside, and started to take the egg whites.

Add the egg whites into the bowl, reach into the egg whites and squeeze tightly, disconnect the tissues connected in the egg whites, add them into the chicken breast puree and beat again.

After whipping evenly again, add the water starch mixed with pea starch, and whip for the third time.

With the addition of water many times, a lot of water was absorbed in every crevice of the chicken breast puree, and its texture began to appear mushy.

Finally, add a spoonful of chicken broth made from other parts of the chicken king, add salt and pepper to taste, and stir well.

After the long treatment of the chicken, Qin Lang shook his somewhat sore arms and adjusted his state.

"Gudu!"

Come on!

Dan Bao rubbed Qin Lang's cheek, and his big tail wagged expectantly.

Just one last step!
