self-improvement as a cook

Chapter 48

Even Cui Qing was staring at the eggs on the plate in a daze. This was the unique skill of his former southern master. In order to learn this skill, he served that old man like his ancestor.

Even so, the old guy didn't pass it on to himself. In the end, he peeked at it a few times and pondered for a long time before researching it.It was also because of this fairy egg that he won the chef of Songyuelou and gained fame.

But this girl is only so old, and she is obviously too smart for her fairy egg. He saw it very clearly just now. When he took it out, it was a complete egg. The eggshell was opened, and the inside was still smooth and white. , Cut the egg yolk and replaced it with meat, such a miraculous skill, how did she do it?Could it be that there are gods to help?

Mr. Mei laughed twice: "Girl, you still hide such a unique skill, it really opened my eyes."

An Ran shook her head and looked around: "It's just a trick, it's nothing new, it's not new to put it bluntly."

The owner of Huiquan Pavilion, Feng Ji, heard this, and tried to say: "If Miss An is willing to make such a unique skill public, it is a blessing for our kitchen business."

An Ran nodded: "What's so difficult about it? When I first made this hearty egg, my two apprentices were watching. Let them do it again for the seniors, and everyone will understand, Shunzi, Gouzi."

The two young apprentices responded, yes, and stood in front of the two stoves and began to work.

Although Shunzi and Gouzi are An Ran's apprentices, everyone present knows that Shunzi is the apprentice who forced An Ran to accept him during the last competition. Not much earlier, they are all junior apprentices who have just entered the kitchen industry, no matter how good An Ran's cooking skills are, it is impossible to train a good cook in two months.

In such a short period of time, these two boys probably haven't practiced their knife skills yet, but now An Ran asked them to make such a difficult meat-hearted egg. If they can't do it, then it's fine. The ear scraper slapped Cui Qing directly on the face. An apprentice who has only been a beginner for two months can do it after just one look.

This Cui Qing is also unpopular, and he offended everyone in Qizhou when he first arrived. Although these people are cooks from the north, they are all inclined towards An Ran in their hearts at the moment, and they all want to slap Cui Qing in the face. Look at Gouzi Shunzi and the two of them making meaty eggs.

Liang Zisheng and Mr. Mei stood close to each other, taking a good look at it. How could it look like a good-looking egg, but when you cut the yolk, it turned into meat. If you didn't experience it yourself, it would be unbelievable.

Eggs with meat heart is not a superb culinary skill, at least compared to many techniques in Shandong cuisine, it is not worth mentioning, as long as you are careful, you can do it.

I saw that the movements of the two were almost synchronized. They took an egg and pierced it up and down with a needle. Put it, wrap the egg white into a funnel with oil paper and put half of the egg white back, put it on the pan and steam it for a while, then carefully pour in the prepared minced meat and the remaining egg white, seal it with white rice paper, shake it gently, so that the egg white and the meat are fully fused, and then serve Steam in a pot, take it out and cool it with ice water. This process is called cold river in Cantonese cuisine, so that the eggshell will not stick and the egg white will be smooth and complete.

When two seemingly complete eggs were put into the bowl, everyone suddenly realized.

The reason why Cui Qing wanted to hide the method just now was because he knew that the people present were all the top figures in the kitchen industry.

What's more, An Ran's method is obviously much better than Cui Qing's, even so, it's just a trick, it's really not a superb cooking skill.

Liang Zisheng and Mr. Mei were quite interested in wrapping the two eggs. Although it was not as smooth as An Ran's, it was still a complete egg. If they hadn't uncovered it on the spot, they would have exclaimed amazingly if they saw such a hearty egg.

Cui Qing's face was extremely ugly, Zhao Laoliu wanted to get into his crotch with his big head, and said in his heart, let you go crazy, this first round will fall into the mud, if he wins, don't tell me, You also demoted your proud unique skills to nothing.

Even so, An Ran didn't intend to let Cui Qing go. In her eyes, Cui Qing was not as good as Zhao Lao Liu, who just talked dirty and played hooligans. Such a person would really treat himself as a sick cat if he didn't teach him a lesson.

Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and smiled: "This meat-hearted egg is just an opportunistic trick. A child can make it after watching it several times. It's not a craft, let alone a unique skill. If you talk about egg dishes, An Ran likes one dish, it’s not difficult to make, and it’s also delicious, much better than this meat-filled egg.”

As he said that, he stood in front of the stove and asked Shunzi to cut the steamed Jinhua ham into strips, Gouzi to cut cucumbers, and beat a few eggs by himself. Spread the egg skin.

This can be regarded as the basic skill of a cook. As long as there are cooks present who can cook, there are not many cooks who can do it like An Ran.

In the kitchen industry, you can only rely on your mouth, and no one will think highly of you if you get out. Cooks have to rely on craftsmanship. That's why, after the Fuchunju competition last time, not to mention the Southern School, but the chefs from the Northern School of Yanzhou Mansion, the chefs from the Northern School of Yanzhou Mansion, and An Ran. This southern cook also has a respect in his heart.

Don't say that An Ran is a cook from the south, this skill does not distinguish between north and south, especially this kind of broad-mindedness, even if you don't accept it in your heart.

The egg skin is spread out, wrapped with sliced ​​ham strips and cucumber strips, deep-fried in the oil pan, removed from the pan, cut with a diagonal knife, the egg skin is tender yellow, the ham is ruddy, and the cucumber is green. Just looking at the color makes you quite appetizing.

An Ran made four egg rolls, and cut into three big plates, one of which was brought to Mr. Mei Liang Zisheng's table, and Gou Zi Shunzi put the other two plates on the long tables on both sides.

Gouzi and Shunzi had just brought the plates over, and before they could put them down, they were all divided up by the surrounding people.

Liang Zisheng and several gentlemen tasted one each, and the rest were cheaper than the owners of the eight major restaurants in Qizhou.

After Qian Hong finished eating, his heart became active. This dish is simple to make, but it is delicious and beautiful. The most important thing is that it is fast. There is no other dish that is more suitable for selling in restaurants. When we go back, we will study a few dishes like the cook. When it was launched, the diners in Yexing always said that their Jufenglou was the old three, and there was nothing new.

When Qian Hong thought so, Feng Ji in the Huiquan Pavilion next to him and the first few bosses were not stupid, and they all changed their minds.

An Ran seemed to know what they were thinking, and said with a smile: "This dish is easy to make, simple, and tastes pleasing, and it is most suitable for selling in restaurants. There is also a wonderful point, which can be slightly changed according to the needs of diners, and the egg rolls As soon as the ingredients in the dish change, it becomes a new dish. Now there are few vegetables in winter, it will be better if it is spring. For example, shredded duck meat is fried with sauce, and paired with new Chinese toon sprouts, it is a Chinese toon duck meat roll. The herring is minced and wrapped, which is a fish roll. If you don’t like meat, you can wrap dried silver sprouts tofu, chicken, pork, shrimp, etc., and it is a complete dish with a variety of colors and flavors. Some dishes look at It seems simple, but it will make a big difference if you change your mind a little bit. The unique skills of old crafts and time-honored brands will naturally stick to them. It would be better if we can innovate on the basis of sticking to them.”

What An Ran said about the former owners of Qizhou couldn't help but ponder. Yes, An Ran just spoke to their hearts. As a time-honored brand, it is urgent to face this embarrassing problem.

The signature dishes are handed down from the ancestors, and they must not be lost. Losing them is equivalent to smashing the name of the ancestors and becoming unworthy descendants. Without diners, restaurants can't make ends meet, so what's the point of sticking to their signature dishes, so new dishes are the only solution.

This is also the reason why almost all the eight restaurants in Qizhou employed cooks from the Southern School. As An Ran said, the dishes from the Northern School are as good as they are, with difficult techniques and more unique skills. The chefs of the faction can handle it, if all the cooks of the northern faction have An Ran's skills, then there is nothing to worry about.

Isn't that the reason why the northern faction declined, but the southern faction is different. Although the north and the south have been fighting for a long time, it has to be admitted that the cooks of the southern faction are indeed more likable than the cooks of the northern faction.

Take the simplest white-cut chicken as an example. To make white-cut chicken, the northern cooks place the chicken horizontally on the chopping board, hold the chicken body with their left hand, and cut horizontally with the knife in their right hand; while the southern cooks hold the chicken on the stand From the back, the knife is cut from the side of the spine.The white-cut chicken is sold with a neat plate and a shiny and smooth skin. According to the cutting method of Beichu, the chicken skin on the side of the chopping board must be scratched. Wait.

I have to admit that the cooks of the Southern School are much more meticulous in cooking than the Northern School. As a cook from the Northern School, I naturally hope that my school is good, but as the owner of a restaurant, I prefer the Southern School cooks.

To put it bluntly, there was no winner in the north-south dispute at the beginning, but because of hard work, the southern faction was born superior to the northern faction. In addition, many unique skills of the northern faction were lost, which also caused the northern faction to gradually decline.

Now that Han Zizhang has become the number one imperial chef, and he is the number one chef in the world, but think about it carefully, there are a few northern dishes that make him so beautiful, and he keeps saying that he is a northern cook, but he cooks southern dishes , So, from the beginning of this North-South dispute, the North faction lost.

And what An Ran said really touched the things that these time-honored brands continue to face, and made these owners have to reflect. Chef An kindly did not say clearly that this was a corner to tell them. The diners are fixed. If It’s always those dishes, no matter how good they are. If you eat too much, they won’t be fresh anymore. If you don’t innovate, the time-honored brands like them will only be closed. Innovation on the basis of keeping the old tradition will undoubtedly point out a bright way for them. .

Qian Hong and the others had an epiphany, and once again looked at An Ran with grateful and complicated eyes, and then almost all the owners of the eight major restaurants stood up and bowed slightly to An Ran: "Miss An's words have benefited us a lot, Thank you Miss Ann."

An Ran knelt down and returned the gift with a blessing: "You are all seniors of An Ran. If it goes on for a long time, if the time-honored brand that has been passed down for a hundred years declines, it is not a matter of the seniors and one person, but an irreparable loss for our entire kitchen business. What An Ran wants to do and can do now is to make those that have been lost or are about to be lost. Find out the unique dishes, unsuitable techniques, you can change and innovate appropriately, but you still have to write down the old methods, as a reference for future generations in the kitchen, at least you can’t just hear the name of the dish, and don’t even know the method , What's more, I haven't even heard the name of the dish, this is not a real cook."

Even Mr. Mei nodded secretly, looked at An Ran, and said that this is a beautiful girl with superb cooking skills. It is unbelievable that this little girl has such a big heart. Cooking is not a respectable profession. The emperor loves delicious food, I'm afraid he doesn't even have the status he has now.

However, it is extremely difficult to learn to cook. The difficulty of learning a superb cooking skill is no less than that of a scholar's gold list. It not only requires year after year of practice, but also requires the understanding of dishes, ingredients, and even the hidden meaning behind each dish. A successful dish must have color, aroma, and meaning. The color, aroma, and shape are hard to come by, but the meaning is even more difficult. Just like the mullet egg that An Ran cooked last time, it is a perfect combination of color, aroma, and meaning. Indispensable.

It is precisely because it is difficult to learn how to cook, that makes those chefs pinch their unique skills to death, and even their own apprentices do not want to pass them on. This has also caused the consequences of many unique skills being lost today. Not to mention the people in the kitchen.

However, in so many years, I have never seen a chef take saving the lost unique skill as a serious thing to do, even if he knows that if this thing is done, it will be a good thing for the kitchen industry and even the diners in the world There are countless big things, but such a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing, who is willing to do it.

Moreover, this matter is not something that ordinary cooks can do. At least one needs to know what unique skills are there. Those who know these must be top chefs. The girl did it, it has to be admired.

Everyone looked at An Ran, An Ran's words, as long as it was a cook, no one would not admire, except Cui Qing and Liu Cheng.

It took Liu Cheng a lot of effort to curry favor with Han Zizhang, and brought Cui Qing to Qizhou. He thought that Cui Qing would clean up this girl as soon as he stepped forward. Who would have thought that if she didn't clean up, she would become a high ladder? , directly sent this girl up, if she can't surpass this girl in cooking today, tomorrow, this girl's reputation will be even louder, and it will be even more difficult to deal with her in the future. Do you go out yourself?

Cui Qing hated it even more. He was holding onto the certainty of winning, but he lost unexpectedly, and let the girl expose it on the spot. After saying such high-sounding words, his face turned blue with anger, and he snorted disdainfully : "Speaking is better than singing, what innovation, what is the dish you innovated? Southern cuisine or northern cuisine? Isn't it a joke if it spreads?"

An Ran looked at him: "They're all in the same industry. They are divided into north and south. If they have to be ugly and ugly, such dishes can be called creative dishes or new dishes. It's just a name. As long as the diners like it, what is the relationship."

Cui Qing gritted his teeth: "Don't play tricks, it's okay if you win this first round by chance, there are two dishes left, and our two dishes will be the name of your southern dish, Pingqiao Tofu. Do you dare? fight?"

Pingqiao tofu?An Ran raised her eyebrows, but this guy knows how to pick. We all know that one dish in southern cuisine that pays attention to knife skills is assorted tofu soup, that is, Wensi tofu, but I don’t know that Pingqiao tofu is the most skillful dish. Moreover, Biwensi tofu Much harder.

The reason why it is a unique dish in southern China has two unique features. One is seasoning with crucian carp brain and chicken soup, and the other is that when the finished dish is served, it looks like it is not steaming with a little oil, but it is actually very hot. When the spoon is blown up, the air will rise up, so you need to eat it after blowing it, and use it carefully and slowly to avoid burns.

Moreover, this dish is considered a medicinal meal, which has the effect of nourishing the five viscera and healing the deficiency. Besides, the most difficult thing is the knife skills. The more delicious it is, the more effort it shows.

To make such an effect, tofu is particularly important. Modern times are relatively simple, and lactone tofu can be used directly, but here is ancient times, and ordering tofu has become the key to the success of this dish.

If he had just passed through, An Ran would not be sure that he could beat Cui Qing in this dish. After all, Cui Qing could beat the chef of Songyuelou, and he was by no means an ordinary person. The reason why he lost in the first round Thoroughly, to put it bluntly, I didn’t lose to myself, but to the modern omnipotent technology that can decipher all secrets. If I am a pure ancient cook, I will definitely lose in the first round. It’s like a magic trick, and it’s nothing special. , but not before.

And Cui Qing, who failed in the first dish, will definitely show his true skills in the second dish, because if he loses the second dish again, he will lose the old face of his master Han Zizhang here, so this flat dish Bridge tofu must be Cui Qing's specialty.

If I used my way of ordering tofu before, this dish might not be authentic. Fortunately, I went to Taoli Village with my master and learned some stew from the crazy monk. This kind of stew, An Ran really didn’t have it before I didn't know what the trick was until I met the crazy monk. I realized that making tofu is really a master's knowledge, and I have to study it carefully when I have time to look back.

An Ran didn't feel anything, just thinking about how to make this dish well, but the people around him were not. Mr. Mei, Liang Zisheng, and the owner of the eight major restaurants were fine, because they each had their own standpoints, so there was always confusion and the desire to watch the excitement The more it is gone.

The people in the yard are different. All the people who can come here today are famous foodies in Qizhou Prefecture. The happiest thing for these foodies is to eat authentic food. Although the Pingqiao Tofu is from the famous South The dishes are also available in Fuchunju, but everyone knows that Miss An didn't make them herself. Besides, if you eat this dish in Fuchunju, it's always served as a finished dish. Who has seen how it is made?

Miss An's culinary skills are well-known far and wide. In addition, she just showed a hand of meat heart eggs and three-color egg rolls, which made these people look forward to An Ran's cooking skills even more. Their eyes are shining, even if they can't eat, look It's okay to see how to do it, and I will go out later and say that I have seen Chef An's Pingqiao tofu, and this face is also bright, so everyone is gearing up, more nervous than An Ran.

Everyone has a heart for beauty, An Ran's beautiful appearance first makes people feel good about her, coupled with her manner of speaking and behavior, it can be said that it completely kills the wretched Cui Qing in seconds, so, this is nothing compared, almost everyone His heart turned to An Ran, it was almost one-sided, only Liu Cheng and Zhao Laoliu were left on Cui Qing's side.

Even Liang Zisheng had a weird desire to hope that An Ran would win, not to mention the Southern School chefs around him, who were so excited that they wished they could set off firecrackers. They have been aggrieved for five years. This tone two months ago I just figured it out, now as long as you mention Nanpai chefs, everyone will look down on them like before, and they will say, oh!It's like Chef An from Fuchunju.

Glory, after living for so many years, the Southern School has never been so competitive. Even when Mr. Zheng was still the imperial chef, this Yanzhou Mansion was also dominated by the Northern School. Now even the chefs of the Northern School are under the command of Chef An. The situation of the cook is naturally much better.Excited, he stared wide-eyed, he had to see even if he couldn't see, looking forward to this competition, Chef An would win glory for the Nanpai again.

This time Cui Qing learned his lesson, looked at An Ran, and pretended to be very magnanimous: "I did the first round first, so the girl will come first for the second round?"

Everyone curled their lips in disdain, and thought to themselves, maybe they are afraid of making it first and losing to Chef An, so they first see how they do it, thinking of stealing the teacher.

A few muttered, and Cui Qing was so angry that he almost rushed over to drag him out. After all, the occasion was not right, so he had to hold back his breath, but also stared at An Ran for a moment, to see how she was doing.

Just as Gao Bingyi asked someone to fetch the tofu, An Ran waved his hand: "Just bring the soaked beans."

Gao Bingyi was taken aback: "Miss wants to order tofu by herself? No need, it's just tofu."

An Ran frowned slightly, and asked him, "What's the name of this dish?"

Gao Bingyi was taken aback: "Pingqiao Tofu."

An Ran nodded: "The main ingredient of this dish is tofu, and the rest are ingredients for tofu service. If the tofu is not well selected, what is this dish called Pingqiao tofu? The auxiliary ingredients and seasonings must be carefully selected, which is not only responsible for the diners, but also for yourself, so that you can make a delicious dish.”

Gao Bingyi lowered his head in shame, hurriedly fetched the soaked soybeans, and asked someone to remove the small stone mill.

Cui Qing curled his lips and said, "It's a trick."

Liang Zisheng also felt that to make this Pingqiao tofu, it is a bit pretentious to make the tofu first. Only Mr. Mei stroked his beard: "It is said on the food list in Suiyuan that the chef is the sixth most important for a meal of delicacies. The comprador The fourth is the credit, which shows that the selection of ingredients is very important for a delicacy and the balance."

Seeing that Mr. Mei agrees, everyone nodded their heads, feeling that it made a lot of sense.

An Ran doesn't need help from others. She picks beans, peels them, grinds the soybean milk, strains the soybean milk, boils it in a pot, and then strains it...

Most of the people present here are wealthy people, and tofu is considered the most common food, even if they occasionally eat one or two tofu dishes, they are also carefully crafted, such as Wensi tofu, Pingqiao tofu and other delicate dishes, who would pay attention to how tofu is made? It is the first time that many people know that tofu is made in this way.

But one of them made a fortune making tofu, and he stared at An Ran without even turning his eyes. When An Ran ordered the marinade, he couldn't help saying: "Chef An's skill in ordering tofu is really a unique skill."

When everyone saw an expert say that, even though they didn't understand, they all agreed, making Cui Qingqi's nose almost crooked, and said to themselves, who can't make tofu? boast.

But Zhao Laoliu leaned over without winking and whispered: "Cousin, you have to be careful, this girl's way of making tofu looks really unusual."

Cui Qing got angry, raised his leg and kicked Zhao Laoliu aside: "Get out, sir, you are talking nonsense, where are you from?"

Seeing Zhao Laoliu falling to the ground ugly, everyone around laughed.

Zhao Laoliu blushed: "Why are you laughing, I didn't stop and fell down."

Haha... Everyone laughed even more.

A cook over there said loudly: "Zhao Laoliu, look down, there are still footprints of your cousin on the crotch of your trousers. This kick is right on the ground. You don't have a son yet. Don't cut off your descendants with this kick." Hahaha..." After finishing speaking, the big guy laughed even harder.

Zhao Laoliu hurriedly bowed his head, and couldn't help cursing: "There are no footprints, you bastard is talking nonsense, you are the only one who will die."

Hearing Liang Zisheng cough, everyone just shut up.

When the tofu is ready, it’s time to make the main dish. Anran closes her eyes and goes through the process in her mind, opens her eyes and looks at Gouzi, Gouzi hurriedly brings up Anran’s knife box, opens it, this is today First time using a kitchen knife.

Seeing this kitchen knife, Cui Qing couldn't help being stunned. Five years ago, when the master competed with Zheng Chunyang, he was beside him. Naturally, he had seen the kitchen knife in Zheng Chunyang's hand, but he really didn't expect that the old guy actually handed it to him. After losing this girl, it seems that I really underestimated the enemy before, and this girl is definitely not an ordinary person who can inherit Zheng Chunyang's mantle.

Moreover, regardless of his young age, Cui Qing couldn't help being shocked by the aura of holding a knife in his hand. Even the chefs who faced Songyuelou back then didn't have this feeling. The aura that only masters of art have, this girl is not simple.

Boil the tofu in a pot of cold water, which can remove the beany smell to the greatest extent, take it out and put it aside, start to put chicken soup or broth into the pot, serve with lard, green onion and ginger, crucian carp brain and crab roe and other ingredients. Dried lean meat and dried shrimp boiled.

Mr. Sun leaned closer to Mr. Mei's ear and said, "Did this girl forget to put the tofu in?"

This is exactly what everyone thinks, even Cui Qing thinks so.

Gouzi wanted to remind the master, but was grabbed by Shunzi, and said in a low voice, "You are stupid, master, who would forget tofu when making Pingqiao tofu, just be honest."

Gouzi scratched his head, although he felt that what Shunzi said was correct, he was still a little worried, but he was relieved when he saw that the master finally went to get the tofu, but he suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at the master's miraculous knife skills, feeling fascinated.

This Pingqiao tofu seems to be broken and disorganized, but it is a dish that requires the most knives. The thinner the tofu slices, the better the kung fu. An Ran's trick is learned from the big brother. It is a bit like sliced ​​​​noodles, holding the tofu with one hand , holding a knife in one hand, put the tofu slices into the soup, the process of the snow-white tofu flying into the pot across the eyes of everyone, like flying snow, is too beautiful to behold.

Cui Qing sneered, "It really is Gao Deming's junior sister, you have learned ten percent of his knife skills."

When Pingqiao tofu was ready and served, Anran suddenly heard Cui Qing's words, and couldn't help frowning at him: "My knife skills are far inferior to senior brother, don't say [-]%, [-]% or [-]%, Anran just laughed."

Cui Qing's eyes flashed and he said maliciously: "You are protecting Gao Deming. Speaking of which, I have a certain relationship with your elder brother. If Gao Deming hadn't agreed to withdraw from the Wei family's marriage back then, my mother-in-law But if you can’t get married, it’s also your master’s failure to live up to expectations. If it wasn’t for being defeated by my master back then, the Wei family wouldn’t be willing to withdraw from your elder brother’s marriage, but let me pick up a wife in vain hahaha.”

Only then did An Ran know that there was another reason why the elder brother retired back then. He didn't need to think about it. The reason why the Wei family retired must be Han Zizhang behind the scenes. The Wei family also wanted to hug Han Zizhang's thick legs, which forced the elder brother to withdraw Dear, so that the angry master couldn't afford to get sick.

These grievances were due to the fact that I was not there at the time, and now my teeth are itching. One can imagine what the two senior brothers were like at that time, and it is no wonder that the senior brother swore that he would never marry a wife in this life. This is heartbreaking.

But he suddenly realized that Cui Qing, a despicable person, probably wanted to irritate himself by saying this matter at this time. When a cook cooks, he is most afraid of restlessness. , Thinking, worry, fear, shock, only when people are in a peaceful state of mind and not moved by the seven emotions, can they find the correct five flavors, and then cook the ultimate delicacy.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing: "Where in the world is there no grass, such a treacherous woman is not worth it, but Chef Cui has to be more careful. Well, maybe your wife will fall in love with someone else again, anyway, Miss Wei and my senior brother are only engaged, and after retiring, we can have nothing to do with each other, if we fall in love with others now, it will be troublesome."

As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at Shunzi: "Shunzi, the bastard in the pond outside hasn't been fed for a few days, go and feed it, so as not to starve to death, it's a pity that it has been kept for so many years."

"You, who do you think is the bastard?" Zhao Laoliu still thought that the kick he had just suffered was not enough, so he answered now.

Gouzi chuckled: "The master asked my junior to feed you bastard, what are you picking up, you are not a bastard."

There was laughter all around, Cui Qingna's face turned dark, and he raised his leg and kicked again.Zhao Laoliu's kick was even more serious, and he kicked directly out of the hallway. It was his bad luck, and he was sitting on the charcoal fire basin, when he heard a scream.

Liang Zisheng frowned tightly, wondering if he was on the wrong team, Han Zizhang's subordinates were obviously people who couldn't make it to the stage, it was inappropriate to expect such a person to be promoted, so he waved someone to drag Zhao Laoliu away Going out, I feel more and more regretful that I have waded into this muddy water again today, but it's all here, so I have to hold on no matter what.

Looking at An Ran: "Miss An's knife skills are amazing, I admire it, and this taste is the most authentic I have ever tasted, but I don't know how about Chef Cui's dish?"

Cui Qing now also understands that this girl's culinary skills are indeed excellent, and it may not be easy for him to beat her. What he can do now is to try his best to even out and keep the master's face.

Thinking of this, she said, "Miss An's cooking skills are indeed excellent, but even if the pearls and jade are in front, I have to show my shame." Then, she glanced at the tofu in the opposite basin: "It takes too much time to make tofu. , in order to save everyone from waiting, I will borrow the tofu made by the girl." As he said, he called his apprentice to come over to get the tofu, and Gouzi was anxious, so he stretched out his hand to stop him: "I said, you still have to be shameless, I want to make tofu by myself, I'm afraid it will take time, isn't there Yanhetang, I don't believe that a restaurant as big as Yanhetang can't find a piece of tofu."

How could Liu Cheng spoil Cui Qing's affairs? When An Ran was making tofu, he listened with strained ears, so there was some knowledge in this simple tofu. Since this girl refused to use Fuchunju's, There must be a reason, if I get a piece from Yan Hetang, if I lose this round, Cui Qing is not a responsible master, go to his master, push the sin to me, who will I cry to? , he won't do such a stupid thing.

Thinking of this, he smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I, Yan Hetang, really don't have tofu dishes, so I didn't prepare tofu." He said and looked at Qian Hong: "But there are several tofu dishes in Jufenglou , and it’s very close to Fuchun Residence, Mr. Qian, or let my buddy go to your place to get a piece of tofu for Chef Cui to order around.”

Qian Hong's complexion changed, and he gritted his teeth. This Liu Cheng is really not a thing, and he took Yan Hetang out, and he didn't forget to give himself a try.

Just as she was about to say something, An Ran said, "Goose, give it to him."

Gouzi reluctantly brought the tofu bowl over, and stood in front of Cui Qing: "I've opened my eyes today, I've never seen such a shameless person." The little apprentice Cui Qing was talking about, his face was blue There was a burst of whiteness, and I couldn't lift my head up.

It doesn't matter to Cui Qing, anyway, he didn't take face seriously anyway, if he really cared, he wouldn't do something like betraying his teacher and being cast aside by others, but this guy's cooking skills are really not bad, regardless of knife skills Whether it's the heat or the seasoning, it can be called a top chef.

Seeing him fooling people with fairy eggs, An Ran thought he had no real skills, but really underestimated him. This Pingqiao tofu dish was made by Cui Qing very beautifully, without any omissions. In this way, the two rounds became a draw. Then the outcome would depend on the third dish. With Cui Qing's accomplishments in cooking southern dishes, An Ran really couldn't guess, what would he compare this third southern dish to himself?No matter what the competition is, in this third round, I must beat him, not for the cook of the Southern School, for the sake of the senior brother, and I can't let such a bastard be proud, let the hatred of taking his wife that the senior brother broods on, I can't help him today. After all the senior brothers were found, they had to let out this bad breath.

Sure enough, after discussing with Mr. Mei, Liang Zisheng said: "The two are superb cooks, and this Pingqiao tofu dish is hard to tell. In the second round, I and Mr. Mei agreed that it was a draw. I wonder if you two have any objections? "

Cui Qing looked at An Ran, grinned, exposing his missing front teeth, and smiled sullenly: "Miss An, it seems that we will see who wins or loses on the third course. As we all know, Nanxi always has fish." , There are many ways to cook long fish in southern dishes. In our three rounds, we might as well make a different dish. You and I both use long fish to make a dish. Don’t make it too heavy, so as not to cause another tie. I’m the chef from the north. The dishes are not my specialty, so I will pick them first, and then I will make a Liangxi crispy eel."

As soon as Cui Qing's words came out of his mouth, everyone present, regardless of whether they were from the south or the north, or those who watched the fun, all looked at him with disdain. He is really a lowly person but invincible. It's really not easy to be shameless like this...
