Chapter 145 Entering the Top Ten! It’s Finally Time to Get on the Stove and Cook! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】
Lin Xu never thought that the skill of whole pig segmentation would be used in this situation.
In his hand he held the kitchen knife he had sharpened before.
First, cut off the meat on the pig's neck quickly, cut to the place where the spine and skull are connected, then cut off from the joint, and then remove the entire pig's head.
Then he divided the whole pig into two slices along the spine.
Start with the front legs.
Remove the front legs, cut off the pig's trotters along the joints, and then cut off the fascia around the large joints of the leg bones. The front elbows of the little fragrant pig are thus removed.
The whole process was as smooth as clouds and water.
Off stage.
Guo Weidong watched the operations of the remaining fifteen players with a smile on his face.
Finally it’s our turn for Guo’s best dish.
Just rely on my nephew's craftsmanship, you just wait...wait! What's going on with the young man in Building 2? How can you be more skillful than your nephew?
His smile condensed on his face.
"Where did that bastard Xie Baomin find a geek?"
He knows how to process hardware, knows how to add fruits to dipping sauces, and is now so good at cutting up whole pigs...
My nephew’s three consecutive championships are a bit on the line!
In the live broadcast room.
Fans are finally looking forward to Lin Xu's third crossover.
"Come on, it's a familiar crossover again!"
"Boss Lin has finally extended his clutches to the pig-killing world!"
"Looks like he's very skilled at the operation. His family didn't kill pigs before, right?"
"Boss Lin: From today on, I, Pork Lin, will be the only meat seller in the entire market. Who is in favor of this and who is against it?"
"Where is the person who has been shouting to draw a sword with Boss Lin before? Come out and take a few steps and let Boss Lin see how to divide it better."
"That's right, just keep asking Boss Lin to draw the knife every day. Now that the knife has been drawn out, where are you people?"
"..."
No one expected that the gentle-looking Boss Lin could cut pork so quickly and smoothly.
When other players compared with him, the gap immediately became apparent.
In the third round of the competition, the contestants were allowed to use their own kitchen knives. The staff even placed a knife stand next to them, with all kinds of kitchen knives, machetes, beef-tip knives and other knives.
But nevertheless.
Facing the little fragrant pig lying on the chopping board, the contestants still felt like they had nowhere to start.
Usually the meat used in the kitchen is cut into pieces. If there are bones, the backbone and ribs are removed from the whole fan of pork.
But now the whole pig has to be dismantled.
Although the size of this little fragrant pig is many times smaller than the big fat pig we usually eat.
But no matter how small it is, it is still a pig.
You have to decompose it the same way you decompose a pig.
Originally, these players were anxious.
Turning around, he found that Lin Xu had almost decomposed half of the pig, so he had no choice but to raise his kitchen knife and chop it hard.
But because it was cut in the wrong place.
The bones were motionless, but the knife was sharpened.
Among these players, Guo Xinghai is one of the more outstanding performers.
His family is Cantonese cuisine, and he often comes into contact with this kind of piglets when making dishes such as roasted suckling pig, so he is relatively good at decomposing them.
When encountering joints, we also know to cut the fascia first.
But compared with Lin Xu, there is still a certain gap in overall fluency.
Instead, the fat chef I borrowed from Sydney held a small sharp knife in his hand and first removed the four pig trotters, then the four legs.
For the remaining torso, remove the ribs and lift out the spine.
Finally, cut the meat from the butt to the head.
Although the whole process was different from normal pig decomposition, it was enough to dismantle the entire pig before Guo Xinghai could finish it.
Fans in the live broadcast room were stunned by this beautiful technique.
"I thought only Boss Lin could impress people, but I didn't expect this little fat guy to be quite amazing."
"Judging from the appearance, the family should be in the pig-killing business."
"Hey, the guy upstairs can read fortune tellers, right?"
"Know a thing or two."
"How do you know that this fat chef's family is in the pig-killing business?"
"Because he's... fat!"
"Ma Dan, that's the reason...but if you think about it seriously, none of the people who kill pigs and sell meat that I've met since I was a kid are really thin."
Yinzhou City.
In Longqishan Scenic Area.
The live broadcast of the Diaoyutai Cooking Competition is being played on the monitor hanging in the ticket hall.
Lin Hongqi looked up at the deft way her son was cutting up the piglets, and couldn't help but ask:
"Did our son really study finance in Beijing? How do I feel that he worked in the slaughterhouse in Beijing for four years? This method is too professional."
Chen Meijuan glared at her husband angrily:
"My son is very talented. He doesn't know how to cook, but he likes to question other people's cooking skills."
Lin Hongqi was not annoyed at being left behind in such a round:
"Since he is so good at killing pigs, I will buy some big fat pigs for him to kill during the Spring Festival this year and distribute them to the employees of the scenic spot so that everyone can have a good New Year!"
Business in the scenic spot is getting better and better.
Lin Hongqi is full of energy every day.
So I unknowingly assigned my son the task of killing pigs during the Chinese New Year.
Diaoyutai competition scene.
Lin Xu had already arranged all the pork into categories, washed his hands while he was there, and was now standing next to the arena, holding a cup of freshly brewed Dahou Kui and drinking it slowly.
"Brother, are you a pig butcher too? I feel like you can decompose pork more quickly than me."
The fat chef followed Lin Xu's example and arranged the various parts of the little fragrant pig. He also washed his hands and went to drink tea.
"Oh, I used to help in the slaughterhouse over there during the summer vacation, so I'm used to it."
Lin Xu lied and continued drinking tea.
"Thank you for giving me that Sydney. My name is Wei Qian. Which building do you belong to? How about adding me on WeChat?"
The fat chef's name is Wei Qian, who is two years older than Lin Xu and is 24 years old this year.
He used to be a pig butcher in his hometown, and he learned how to kill pigs and bleed them when he was eight years old. After entering junior high school, when he came home from school every afternoon, he had to dissect two pigs before he could eat dinner and do his homework.
To him, pig slaughtering and whole pig cutting are like drinking cold water.
Wei Qian has always regarded this matter as his pride.
Until today, he met a person who was simpler than drinking cold water.
Lin Xu took out his mobile phone and added him as a friend.
While they were chatting, Guo Xinghai also came.
"You two are really perverts. Each one is better at breaking down pigs than the other. Is this kind of business at home?"
Wei Gan answered for Lin Xu.
The three of them added each other as friends, drank Dahou Kui, and chatted with each other.
It didn't take long.
The third round is over.
Lin Xu once again received full marks.
Fat chef Wei Gan received 9.7 points.
However, Guo Xinghai, the most proficient in Cantonese cuisine and the favorite to win, only scored 9.5 points.
Guo Weidong, who was originally complacent about the fragrant pig ingredients, lost his temper at all this time.
I was still upset that I could only get second place.
Now it's better, I can't even get second place.
After elimination.
Lin Xu and other eight people successfully advanced.
The remaining players will enter the resurrection round and start competing for the two top ten spots.
Get off the field.
Shen Jiayue hugged Dundun and walked over:
"Are you tired? I just realized today that you know so much."
"I'm not tired. These are just trivial tricks."
Lin Xu took Dundun into his arms, then took out his mobile phone and contacted Song Tiantian and Niu Chuang respectively to learn about the situation in the store.
After learning that everything was normal in the store.
Only then did he hang up the phone.
He carried Dundun to the lounge next to the banquet hall and prepared to rest for a while and put some things on his hands, because after the resurrection match was over, he had to go in to participate in the top ten competition.
Fortunately, after the top ten games, you can use the stove, and the content of the game will be broader, instead of just surrounding the chopping board like now.
Went to the lounge and sat down.
Wei Gan walked in carrying a large plate of freshly cooked charcoal-roasted fragrant pig and some other food on a tray.
"Come on, buddy, eat some meat dumplings. There are biscuits here. If you feel tired, you can wrap them in the biscuits and eat them."
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"You are quite familiar with this place. Where did this come from?"
"I am the chef in Building No. 1. This is my territory. Can you be familiar with it? Is this your cat? The little guy is fat and looks really energetic."
Wei Gan was a local cook. He sat down and chatted with Lin Xu while eating charcoal-roasted fragrant pig.
The pork marinated with garlic and various spices is grilled over charcoal fire. Take a bite and the pork skin will be crispy on the outside, while the pork on the inside will be tender and juicy.
And because it was roasted over low heat, the meat inside had even fallen off the bones.
"Isn't this the pork we decomposed?"
"No, this is marinated before the game starts. Does your cat eat this meat? How about I get him some other meat?"
Lin Xu pinched a piece of pork ribs and placed it in front of Dundun.
The little guy actually squatted down and started eating. After eating two small pieces, he jumped onto the window sill, looked at the scenery outside, licked his paws and started to wash his face.
While eating.
Guo Xinghai walked in.
"What do you think the Big Ten game will be about later?"
this problem……
Wei Gan said:
"Take out the ones that take a long time, the ones that are complicated to make, and the ones that don't look good and don't show off your cooking skills. The competition items later will most likely be short and quick dishes."
Lier is such a Lier, but before the competition, who would have thought that the main judge would ask him to use a curled kitchen knife to demonstrate his knife skills? Who would have thought that the content of the third round of competition would be to carve up the whole pig?
After Geng Lishan was replaced as the chief judge.
Everything becomes difficult to guess.
When they were almost done eating, Wei Gan took the remaining meat to the kitchen.
Waiting to come back again.
There was a shocked expression on his face:
"I don't know if it's because of the competition or something else, but the occupancy rate of the restaurant in Building 1 actually exceeded 60%. This was only possible on holidays in the past."
The restaurants in Diaoyutai are different from Linji Food.
The average person here is 2,000 to 3,000, and the food here is very stylish.
If the occupancy rate reaches 60%, the turnover of one meal will be almost hundreds of thousands.
Lin Xu glanced at Dundun who was still washing his face on the window sill.
Are you attracted to this little guy?
This ability to attract wealth is truly well-deserved.
After resting for about twenty minutes, Lin Xu and the others returned to the competition site again.
The results of the rematch have come out, and the top ten have been produced.
It's time to show off your real cooking skills.
The chopping boards at the competition site have been removed, and now all the players are standing in front of the stove.
Next to the stove is a shelf with various ingredients placed on it.
Chief judge Geng Lishan said:
"The top ten have been selected, and the next step is the stove competition. Please choose the main ingredients according to the rankings in the previous round. You can only choose the same one, so please consider it carefully."
Choose the same main ingredient?
Lin Xu, who scored first in the last round, came to the shelves and saw various ingredients such as beef, sea bass, carp, whole chicken, ribs, pork belly, and prawns placed on it.
Which one should you choose as the main ingredient for this round of exams?
Lin Xu thought for a moment.
Picked out the lively bass.
When Guo Weidong in the audience saw Lin Xu's choice, he immediately thought that his nephew would be fine.
I actually chose seabass. Are you planning to make steamed seabass?
Great, finally hit my nephew's gun.
But when he was feeling proud, he thought of Lin Xu's previous achievements, and a thought came to his mind:
This young man... isn't he also good at Cantonese cuisine?
