Chapter 69
When the hot oil, crab meat and crab roe came into contact with each other, there was a "Ziz" sound immediately, and bursts of fragrance were emitted. This fragrance was much stronger than the fragrance just now, and it caused commotion among the crowd outside.

"It smells so good!" Even Bai Qingli, who thought he had eaten a lot of delicious food, couldn't help admiring, and the two brothers, Brother Nuomi, swallowed "gulu" from time to time.

Gu Xiaobei wasn't overjoyed by other people's praise, but just smiled, and calmly taught Bai Qingli and the others to put the boiled crab roe into the crab shell to brew.After teaching them, Gu Xiaobei let them do it by themselves, and she started to crack the eggs to get the egg whites.

After she knocked the egg to the side, she grabbed the egg with both hands and gently opened the two pieces on the big bowl. She put the egg yolk and egg white back and forth between the two egg shells two or three times, letting the egg white flow into the bowl under her hand. The egg yolk remains in the shell, thus separating the egg white from the yolk.After using the same method to obtain a large bowl full of egg whites, Gu Xiaobei folded a clean straw to make a simple egg beater for beating the egg whites.

At this time, Bai Qingli and the other three also packed the boiled crab roe into the crab shells, and when Zongzi had some free time, he sneaked into the crowd, and after seeing the situation at Zhouji Restaurant, he came back to report to Gu Xiaobei : "Zhou Ji Restaurant is halfway through, and they are a little faster than us, but they are not used to doing a lot of work together, so they divide it into two."

"Divide it into two?" Gu Xiaobei was taken aback, and asked, "What about the old cook they hired? Is it also divided into two?"

"No, there are only two cooks who insist on cooking in two batches. The old cook and the other three cooks finish it together at one time. The old cook also reminds the two cooks that doing so may cause the first batch of dishes to be less fresh than the second batch. But those two cooks still go their own way, and the old cook doesn't care about them anymore."

"Where's Zhou Liang and Zhu Mei? Don't they care?" Gu Xiaobei showed an incredulous expression.

"Zhou Liang's clothes are restless and he doesn't have much time to supervise them, and Zhu Mei doesn't know how to cook at all, and she can't explain why she points fingers for a long time." Zongzi said with a smile.

Gu Xiaobei smiled, it seems that the chefs in Zhouji restaurant have uneven cooking skills!

While chatting with Zongzi, Gu Xiaobei kept her hands on. She whipped the egg whites until the batter was not soft, then added some starch to the egg whites and stirred them evenly, and then put them little by little with a small spoon. Flower petals are spelled out on the crab bucket.

"This flower is so beautifully spelled, and each petal is even in thickness!" "Your hands are so skillful, my daughter-in-law is also very skillful, but she will never be able to do this!" It is not an easy task to spell out beautiful petals with egg white paste. It is impossible for ordinary people to do it. It takes dozens or hundreds of times of practice to be able to spell out such beautiful petals.

Gu Xiaobei then made another move that made them even more admirable. She squeezed another layer of small petals on top of that layer of petals.This is a risky move. If an ordinary person pastes two petals together, not only does not make two layers of petals, but also destroys the first layer of petals, then this crab bucket will be scrapped. up.

But Gu Xiaobei's technique was light and skillful, the second layer of small petals not only did not clump together with the first layer of petals, but stood upright on the first layer of petals like real petals, lifelike.

"It's so beautiful, I don't want to eat this thing!" Someone exclaimed.

Stitching flowers requires dexterity and skill, neither Bai Qingli nor Nuomi brothers have done it before, Gu Xiaobei dare not let them do it, so he can only do it alone, and at this time most of the time has passed.Yin Hehua and Chen Jiu have already finished more than half of the preparation, and the fragrance of vegetables is also coming from Zhouji Restaurant.

Gu Xiaobei pursed his lips, and put his whole body into the mosaic with full attention. Bai Qingli stood on her right, and when she saw that she had finished spelling one piece, he reached out to take it and put it on a clean iron plate measuring one foot long and one foot wide. She wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead.

In the tense atmosphere, it took Gu Xiaobei half a stick of incense to finally carve all the crab buckets with flower petals. The crab buckets were filled with more than a dozen long iron plates. Only then did Gu Xiaobei have time to raise his head and exhale. With a slight smile, the onlookers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Gu Xiaobei looked at the oven on the ground, which was similar to the oven used to hold charcoal for barbecues in the countryside in the 21st century. This is the oven she drew a picture some time ago and went to the blacksmith shop to explain the construction of the oven. It matches the iron plate. He asked Brother Nuomi to burn charcoal in the oven.Seeing that the charcoal fire was burning evenly, Gu Xiaobei nodded in satisfaction, picked up the iron plate filled with crab buckets, and put it on the oven.Bai Qingli and Brother Nuomi also put more than a dozen other iron plates on the oven one after another, following her example.Gu Xiaobei asked them each to take a pair of chopsticks and flip through the crab bucket at regular intervals.

The fragrance overflowing from the crab bucket became even stronger, and by this time the last stick of incense had been half burned.

Although Yin Hehua and Chen Jiu's dishes were simpler than Gu Xiaobei's, they were slow in cooking due to the large quantities, so when Gu Xiaobei put the crab bucket on the oven, they only finished the big dishes in hand.

Gu Xiaobei, Yin Hehua, and Chen Jiu each cooked a special dish. Due to lack of time, they could only choose a delicious dish that took less time.

"Boss, two chefs at Zhouji Restaurant have already finished cooking, and the other four chefs are still short of the last step." Brother Zongzi came to report the latest "enemy situation" to Gu Xiaobei again. Knowing that Gu Xiaobei wanted to know the situation of the old cook, he Added another sentence: "The ones that haven't finished include the old chef."

This kid is quite good at observing words and expressions!Gu Xiaobei smiled slightly, and said to the rice dumpling disciple while cooking: "Well done, when the competition is over, I will definitely reward you well."

"No, no, I didn't do this for a reward." The zongzi waved his hands again and again, and went to the crab fight again.

"Why don't you reward me?" Bai Qingli, who was helping turn over the crab bucket next to him, complained to Gu Xiaobei.

Gu Xiaobei said casually, "What reward do my family want?"

My family!Bai Qingli immediately smiled, and repeated those three words over and over again in her heart, the more she repeated, the more excited she became.

"Time is up!"

There was a sudden shouting sound from the center of the square, which made Bai Qingli jump up with a bang, looked around, only to find that Gu Xiaobei and the others had put away all the iron plates on the oven at some point and placed them on several When the big table was on the table, Bai Qingli realized that he had been standing still for a long time, so he hurried over to help.

"What happened to you just now? I called you several times, but you didn't answer." Gu Xiaobei frowned.

"It's nothing." Bai Qingli touched his nose and grinned brightly.

Why are you smiling so brightly?Gu Xiaobei felt that Bai Qingli was going crazy again, so he ignored him.
