Chapter 190 The Flower Knife Technique Is Obtained! Oh My God, Boss Lin Is Trying to Steal the Sculptor’s Job! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】
In the past, I only heard about mandatory loan repayment, but I didn’t expect that there is also mandatory loan repayment now.
Lin Xu was still waiting to save enough points to exchange for the Eye of Discrimination. As a result, the points accumulated became less and less, and now they are even negative.
“Use a points overdraft card!”
He muttered silently in his mind, and then the system prompt sounded in his mind:
"Use a gold-level points overdraft card to get 500,000 points. The host is asked to earn 700,000 points within a month, otherwise a perfect dish will be canceled at random."
After the points are obtained.
Lin Xu immediately started to enter the points mall and began to redeem the techniques to be used.
In the Points Mall.
A single technique is relatively cheap.
For example, the excellent white water mutton dipping technique redeemed in the last competition only cost 200,000 points.
But for large-scale projects such as knife work that can be used universally, the price is much higher.
For example, the flower knife technique that needs to be redeemed now costs 80,000 points for the basic level, and 200,000 points for the excellent level.
As for the Excellent level, it requires 500,000 points.
Well, I just overdrafted half a million points and had to spend them in less than a minute.
The system really understands how to play small loans.
At this time, other contestants have already begun to choose ingredients.
Lin Xu also put his thoughts aside, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he chose the excellent flower knife technique.
The players present are all above the excellent level in terms of flower knife skills. If they exchange for the excellent level, they might as well just admit defeat.
"The host spent 500,000 points to obtain the excellent flower knife technique, and triggered the skill task: Please use the flower knife technique once within half an hour, and get praise from more than a thousand people, otherwise the excellent flower knife technique will be Downgraded to excellent level flower knife technique."
really……
It’s this type of skill task again.
But a thousand people are a thousand people. Although there are only two to three hundred people at the scene today, there are many people in the live broadcast room and watching the live TV broadcast.
It shouldn't be difficult to get praise from a thousand people.
After all, flower knife techniques are a visual display, and there is no need to taste them.
As long as you pass the test with a sword, it is absolutely no problem to win a wave of cheers.
After reading the experience.
Lin Xu strolled to the shelves to pick out ingredients.
He gave up cucumbers first.
Although this ingredient can demonstrate the craftsmanship of making the snail shell, it is too small after all and it is not easy to get high scores.
As for the winter melon, it is too big and the texture is not delicate enough. It is only suitable for carving some silly, big, black and thick shapes. It looks okay from a distance, but it has a lot of flaws when you look up close.
Pumpkins are pretty good.
It is medium in size and has fine meat, suitable for use with a flower knife.
But when Lin Xu was picking, he found that all the pumpkins had been robbed.
Also sold out were Huadao’s popular ingredients—daikon radish and carrots.
It's a pity that there is no beautiful carrot in my heart. If there is, I can carve a rose properly. It can not only get high scores but also make baby Shen happy. It's the best of both worlds.
Without any choice.
Lin Xu took a box of lactone tofu.
If you want to show off your basic knife skills, lactone tofu is a popular choice.
Because no matter what time, Wensi Tofu is the first choice to show off your basic knife skills.
But since it is a flower knife and it is live broadcast, the characteristic of lactone tofu that breaks when touched makes many players shun it.
The risk of overturning is too great to take risks.
On the contrary, ingredients such as radish, cucumber, etc. are more effective and more likely to shine.
"It's lactone tofu again. Boss Lin has a special liking for this ingredient."
"Maybe you like tofu as much as I do (fog)"
"Tell me clearly upstairs, what kind of tofu are you eating?"
"Uncle Ben said: The greater the difficulty, the more bonus points. Boss Lin must have made this choice just for the extra points, right?"
"Dude, which version of Spider-Man are you watching?"
"I study jade carving, why am I suddenly panicking?"
"Don't panic, brother, although Boss Lin crosses the border, he doesn't steal business... Whose welding iron door makes a squeaky sound? A master of metal processing with twenty years of experience is taking orders online!"
When fans in the live broadcast room saw Lin Xu choose Lactone Tofu, they began to look forward to what kind of crossover Lin Xu would play.
In the seat next to Lin Xu.
Wei Qian, who had quick eyes and quick hands, chose a pumpkin that was close to the pumpkin handle.
Pumpkins in this position are ideal for carving because they have no pulp.
As for Guo Xinghai, he chose a white radish with a delicate texture.
The ingredients they chose were pretty good.
As long as you don't make mistakes in carving, you should be able to get good scores.
After Lin Xu looked around, he immediately brought half a basin of water from a glass basin.
Lactone tofu is too soft and delicate. If you want to carve beautiful patterns, you have to do it in water, so as to ensure the completeness of the shape to the greatest extent.
Pour some water on the chopping board.
Then cut the four corners of the lactone tofu box, tear off the surface sealing film, and pour out the tofu.
He took out the kitchen knife that Master had used for half his life from the scabbard.
Lin Xu carefully wiped the kitchen knife with a towel, then poured water on the tofu, and carefully cut off the edges around the tofu.
After the built-in tofu is put into the box, a layer of hard edges will form around it and on the upper and lower surfaces.
When carving, you need to cut off these hard edges so that the texture of the tofu will be more uniform and there will be no mistakes when carving.
After cutting off all four sides, he carefully sliced off the top side with a flat knife.
Then carefully insert the blade of the knife under the tofu, and carefully put the trembling piece of lactone tofu into the glass basin filled with water.
After putting it in.
Now that the preparation work has come to an end, you can start carving.
On the judges' bench.
A judge invited by China Travel Service smiled and said to the chief judge Liu Zhengyu:
"Huo Yifan just saw Lin Xu choose lactone tofu, and immediately changed his carrots to lactone tofu. It seems that he must step on Lin Xu's feet."
Liu Zhengyu sighed with emotion:
"I'm still too young to know Chef Gao's status in the industry. But so does Chef Gao. Such a sentence suddenly came to so many people in the group. If Zhen Wensheng hadn't quickly sent out a few red envelopes, it would have been really embarrassing. People can’t come to Taiwan.”
Off stage.
Huo Yifan soaked the lactone tofu he wanted to use in water, and then went to the shelf to select the carving knife he wanted to use.
The so-called carving knife is a slender sharp knife with a slightly curved edge, which is convenient for making shapes on ingredients.
There are two carved knives left on the shelf.
Huo Yifan compared it and found that one was new and the other had a slight chip on the edge.
He put the new knife back on the shelf and took back the notched one.
It's fair competition. I won't take advantage of you at all. I won't let you win later and the fans in the audience will be giggling... Huo Yifan walked back to his seat.
He turned his face and glanced at Lin Xu, his expression suddenly startled.
Lin Xu actually didn't use a carving knife. Instead, he grabbed a kitchen knife with a slightly pointed head and put it directly into the water and started carving patterns on the tofu.
this……
You don't even need a carving knife. Are you so confident?
At the advisory table.
Dai Jianli, who had just made a splash, leaned forward, leaned on the shoulder of Xie Baomin in the front row and said:
"Lao Xie, are our junior brothers too trusting? You don't need a carving knife to carve lactone tofu, so the difficulty will be doubled."
Song Dahai, who was sitting next to him, praised:
"In the past, our predecessors all valued a kitchen knife. A knife can cut, chop, chop, shoot, smash, slice, and even carve patterns. Today, when knives are becoming more and more abundant, they can still... It’s really rare for someone to abide by the rules of the old times.”
He had a good feeling for Lin Xu.
Now that Lin Xu was fighting for Diaoyutai glory again, he fell in love with this young man even more.
It's a pity that all the sugar cane he planted has been harvested, otherwise he would have given Lin Xu a few sugar canes.
When I think of my own sugar cane.
He couldn't help but glare at Dai Jianli and Guo Weidong.
You bitches, don't let me get the chance to deal with you!
Qiu Zhenhua on Xie Baomin's right said:
"It's good to have a kitchen knife in the world, but this is a competition, and the reputation of Diaoyutai is also related. Lin Xu is still a little overconfident. What do you think, Lao Guo?"
Just as Guo Weidong was about to speak, Xie Baomin, who had been staring at Lin Xu, suddenly said:
"The knife in his hand is the kitchen knife that my master has used for half his life. He uses this knife to make carvings. It is obviously to let the master witness his growth... This child has always been very delicate."
When everyone heard this, they didn't say anything.
The look he looked at Lin Xu was a little more admiring.
It is so heart-warming to use Master's kitchen knife to make carvings on such an important occasion.
Far away in Daocheng Yading Scenic Area in the southwest region, a tall man wearing a Tibetan robe and a cowboy hat sat cross-legged on the grass, looking at the kitchen knife used by Lin Xu to carve flowers in the mobile live broadcast room, his eyes became wet:
"What a good boy, what a good boy. How much virtue did I, Gao Peisheng, accumulate in my previous life to have such a good apprentice..."
He was not at the game.
But the apprentice showed off his cooking skills with his own kitchen knife.
Who wouldn’t like such a disciple?
Without saying a word, he watched thirty-three carnivals in the live broadcast room.
Wu Kexin's live broadcast room instantly shot to the top of the site's reward list.
The anchor who originally ranked first on the reward list took a look and was about to call on his fans to do another wave of promotions to take the first place on the reward list.
Countless carnival special effects suddenly floated before my eyes.
The boss of Dielianhua who used to spend money without his life suddenly took action and swiped 333 carnivals in Wu Kexin’s live broadcast room.
After throwing down one million real money and silver.
The anchor who called on fans to brush up the rankings suddenly felt that the second place was not bad.
There's only one difference, so there's nothing to argue about.
In live streaming, harmony is the most important thing.
To express your goodwill.
He even used his tuba to give Wu Kexin a carnival gift and announced at the same time:
"Anyone who dares to compete with me, Sister Xin, will be in trouble with me [Women are not so good at playing games]. My army of women in the world is not a vegetarian, so don't say that you are unforeseeable!"
Well, if you can't beat it, join.
Classics never go out of style.
"Yeah! The white-haired boy and Die Lianhua rewarded each other in Wu Kexin's live broadcast room."
While watching the game, Chen Yan received news from the company and was immediately shocked.
One million and one million, just smashed in without blinking an eye.
"White-haired boy? Isn't that Master's account? Die Lianhua is the account of Aunt Leopard. Just now I saw Master posting a photo of horseback riding in Moments. Why did he suddenly reward it?"
Baby Shen was a little curious.
He looked up at Xu Bao at the competition site, and then at the bustling live broadcast room.
I don’t understand what those two people’s twilight love on their honeymoon meant.
"Hey, that woman doesn't even have a gaming flair but she also rewarded a carnival. This piece of shit even asked his fans to go to the Yue Li Yue live broadcast room to cause trouble two days ago. Hundreds of accounts were blocked by the room management."
Chen Yan was a little confused.
But since someone is giving a reward, we can’t refuse it.
She said to Shen Baobao:
"Wu Kexin just said that the reward from Uncle Gao and Die Lianhua was for your Xubao. She doesn't want the money, and will divide it later and give it all to your Xubao."
"Okay!"
Game scene.
Lin Xu didn't know that the live broadcast room was already boiling.
He was still holding the kitchen knife, and without any distraction, he used the tip of the knife to gently scratch the tofu in the water.
After drawing out the shape, use a longer bamboo skewer to carefully pick off the excess tofu before continuing to carve.
This process tests patience and the balance of the wrist. If you are not careful, it will cause damage. Lin Xu can only hold his breath and concentrate, and deal with it carefully.
The other contestants were also immersed in their own works.
We are all the best in various foreign-related hotels, and may become the pillars of hotel restaurants in the future. The technique of carving is no stranger to us.
They can not only carve common shapes such as clusters of flowers, but also create new ideas based on changes in ingredients.
For example, now, Guo Xinghai uses the top green part of the radish to carve a beautiful jade cabbage, ready to be placed on the plate as a decoration.
Zhuang Yizhou, who ranked third in the previous round, used the curved parts of the pumpkin to carve the shape of a black-topped boat.
Everyone is carving carefully and wants to prove their strength.
Because Lin Xu was carving in the water, and the kitchen knife in his hand was too huge, it was impossible to take a clear picture from a distance, so Wu Kexin and a cameraman from the TV station came over and took a closer look.
From a distance, I saw Lin Xu swiping the tip of the knife on the tofu from time to time. I had no idea what was being carved. Only now that I got closer did netizens see it.
Lin Xu actually carved two fish on the tofu.
The two fish are connected head to tail, a bit like a Pisces jade pendant.
But these two fish were carved into long strips based on the shape of lactone tofu. Not only are they plump and lively, but the fins and scales on their bodies are also delicately carved.
Fans in the live broadcast room took a look.
It immediately started to boil:
"Holy shit, shit, the jade carving circle is going to explode!"
"It's not just the jade carving circle that needs to be blown up, brother. The stone carving circle, the wood carving circle, and the clay carving circle will all be blown up after seeing Boss Lin's craftsmanship."
"Who would have thought that Boss Lin would kick out the engraver's job again."
"Not only did he kick him, but he also used a piece of tofu and a kitchen knife to say contemptuously: That's it?"
"Looking at the dozens of carving knives on my knife rest, I have the urge to throw them all away and replace them with kitchen knives."
"Me too. A carving knife costing several thousand yuan is not as good as a kitchen knife from Boss Lin. It's so sad."
"These two fish are so beautiful. How much can I buy them for?"
"The one upstairs, don't ask. The boss of Dielianhua spent a million on it. Even if you want to buy it, you have to wait a little longer."
Due to the close proximity of the live broadcast camera, the live audience, who had never been able to clearly see the carving content, also took out their mobile phones and entered the live broadcast room to watch.
Lin Xu's family were also shocked when they saw two lifelike fat fish in the basin.
"Oh my god! My brother-in-law's skills are really amazing!"
"When did Xiaoxu learn how to carve? This shape is so beautiful."
"No, I have to let Lao Tan and the others take a look. This kid is so shameless!"
"Old Lin, take a look at our son's craftsmanship. Isn't it my old lady's 70th birthday in a few days? It just so happens that Xiaoxu comes home, let him show off his skills to the old man."
"Definitely, the old lady has been looking forward to his return home."
"Mom, don't forget that I'm going too. Dundun and I are going back!"
"I can't forget that my mother has to show off such a good daughter-in-law in front of relatives and friends."
At the advisory table.
Xie Baomin looked at the picture on his phone with emotion:
"My master must be very happy. My junior brother is so impressive. It's a pity that there is no competition for the middle-aged group, otherwise I would have to show off my cooking skills."
Everyone was surprised by this extraordinary method.
Carving Pisces on hard materials is difficult, and people without certain experience would not dare to challenge it.
And Lin Xu actually carved on the lactone tofu that broke at the touch of a touch.
This craft.
It’s simply amazing!
Finally, when Lin Xu finished carving the two fishes and decorated some waves around them, the double fish carving, which means there will be fish every year, was completed.
The moment he put down the kitchen knife, his wrists, arms, shoulders, neck and even waist and legs began to ache.
Just too involved.
The body has not been able to move and relax.
At this moment, he suddenly put down the kitchen knife, and all kinds of discomfort swept over him.
Wei Qian, who had finished carving pictures of wealthy peonies next to him, quickly held his arm:
"Take two steps to move around first. You just stood in one position for too long and your blood circulation is not smooth."
While talking, he glanced at the fish in the basin and immediately grinned.
This round, it’s stable!
Lin Xu came to the side, moved his body, and drank two mouthfuls of water. As soon as he sat down, the system prompt sounded in his mind:
"The host has received praise from more than a thousand people within the stipulated time, and has officially obtained the excellent flower knife technique. Congratulations to the host."
"The host used the excellent flower knife technique to leapfrog and make perfect-level carvings. He completed the hidden task [leap-level challenge] and obtained the perfect-level universal cooking technique - deep-frying. Congratulations to the host."
call……
I didn’t expect there to be such a reward.
The hard work just now was finally not in vain.
soon.
Other players have also completed their flower knife displays.
The judges filed down from the judges' seats and began to score.
In this round of competition, several players chose lactone tofu.
But what they carved was either a little white rabbit or a white giant salamander. The shapes were quite beautiful, but compared with Lin Xu's, they always felt a bit abstract and rigid.
Lin Xudiao's two fish look like they are alive.
When you look closely, you may even worry that the fish will suddenly flick its tail and splash itself with water.
This kind of carving with both spirit and form, even if it is placed in the carving circle, is worthy of being called a master.
Also watching the two fish was Huo Yifan, who also chose lactone tofu.
He had watched the replay of Diaoyutai Live and felt that defeating Lin Xu would not be a big problem.
So this time I saw that Lin Xu chose lactone tofu, and also replaced the radish he got with tofu, intending to compete with Lin Xu.
He carved a rose with layers of lactone tofu.
The petals are very thin.
It even feels like floating slightly in the water.
But compared to Lin Xu’s Pisces.
There is still a certain gap.
well……
There's no comparison!
Soon, the scores came out.
Lin Xu won the first place with a perfect score of 10.
Huo Yifan's white rose received a high score of 9.9 due to its beautiful shape, ranking second.
Guo Xinghai scored 9.7 points, tied for third with Zhuang Yizhou.
As for Wei Qian, his sculpture of wealthy peonies only scored 9.1 points and ranked seventh because of a collision with another contestant.
After comparing their strength, everyone’s scores were relatively close.
It's not easy to get rid of.
"The host successfully won the first place in this round of competition, completed the second level of the chain mission [Breaking Levels], and obtained the excellent pickle-type pickling technique-pickled cucumber."
Pickled cucumber?
Finally, the rewards were better than the previous round.
However, when he thought about owing loan sharks from the system, Lin Xu felt a sense of urgency in his heart, always wanting to open the business quickly and fill the hole in his points.
Isn’t the system using this method to urge me to work hard to make money?
While he was thinking about it.
Liu Zhengyu commented while holding the Pisces in the basin:
"To borrow what Mr. Tateyama said about Lin Xu during the last competition: Some people get ten points because their craftsmanship is worth ten points, while some people get ten points because their full score is only ten points. Thank you, Lin Xu, for letting me see the technique of Chinese flower knife. It’s wonderful and gives me hope for Chinese food!”
After this round of competition, another player was eliminated.
Now there are only fifteen players left on the field.
After everyone took a break, the staff once again brought in new shelves, which contained wet noodles, shaved noodles, shredded pancakes, rice noodles, rice noodles, bait shreds, rice, steamed buns and other ingredients, as well as onions, ginger and garlic. A full range of ingredients such as eggs, shrimp, and vegetables.
Liu Zhengyu stood up with a microphone and said:
“The essence of good food is to satisfy your hunger. No matter how beautiful the food is, it will never be enough if you are not full. Therefore, the content of this round of competition is - use your respective skills to make a staple food, including but not limited to various fried noodles, fried rice and fried rice. Fried pancakes and so on.”
After speaking, he clapped his hands:
"This round lasts for half an hour, let's get started, boys, let me see your cooking skills!"
Staple food?
Lin Xu, who had already recovered, slightly raised the corners of his mouth after hearing the task requirements.
The perfect Yangzhou fried rice that Smash helped me draw a few days ago finally has a use.
What are you waiting for?
Get started!
