Chapter 194 Finally Crossed over to the Beauty and Hair Salon Industry! The Rewards This Round Are Interesting! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】
Huo Yifan went back with the basin.
I originally came here to watch the fun, but ended up losing my mind.
If God gave him another chance, Huo Yifan would never be curious about steamed shredded radish, nor would he teach a man named Lin Xu how to make white-robed shrimps.
I won't even come to Diaoyutai to participate in this cooking competition.
Wouldn't it be better to just stay in the summer palace and be your own little cooking genius?
He had to come over and be humiliated.
He even managed to break his defense.
As soon as Huo Yifan returned to the stove, Lin Xu came over again.
This time, he wasn’t here to learn how to make white-robed shrimps, but to check out Guo Xinghai’s fried grouper fillet.
Fresh grouper is actually best steamed, so that you can not only taste the unique freshness of grouper, but also the tenderness and deliciousness of the meat.
But for people who often eat grouper, they will get tired of eating the same taste all the time.
So other ways to make grouper came into being, including stir-fried.
When Lin Xu arrived, Guo Xinghai had just filleted the grouper and was carefully removing the rib bones.
Seeing that there was still a lot of meat on the fish, he thought that his son hadn't eaten anything yet, so he asked curiously:
"Do you want the meat from the fish?"
"Yes, no more...are you so free?"
After Guo Xinghai picked out the ribs, he wiped the mucus on the surface of the fish skin with a towel, then pressed the fish meat with one hand and tore the skin with the other. With a strong pull, the entire fish skin was torn off.
Then slice off the red meat part of the fish that is close to the skin, leaving only the white meat.
"I've processed the ingredients and are drying them. Let them dry before proceeding to the next step. If you find this useless, I'll take it away and steam it for my cat to try. It hasn't eaten grouper yet."
Guo Xinghai: "..."
Is your cat’s food already so good?
He reached out and put the fish body, ribs, bones and skin on a plate and handed it to Lin Xu:
"Then let's go. The grouper's spines are relatively hard, so don't pierce its mouth."
"No, my Dundun is good at eating fish."
When Lin Xu passed by Huo Yifan's stove with the fish in his hand, he saw the pile of fresh shrimps squeezed out of the shrimp next to him, and suddenly thought that since he had prepared grouper for his child, he should also let him taste the top-notch freshwater shrimp.
This way, it is both salty and light, so the combination is reasonable.
"Master Huo, do you want these green shrimps that have been squeezed through the shrimps?"
"No...what do you want these for? Make shrimp oil?"
"No, I'm feeding my cat."
Huo Yifan: "..."
When people get this kind of top-quality fresh shrimp, they boil it in shrimp oil as soon as possible. The shrimp shells are not thrown away after the shrimp oil is boiled. Instead, they are crushed and mixed into the stuffing to add a fresh flavor.
This Lin Xu is so good, he actually wants to feed his own cat.
Are the brain circuits of all geniuses so strange?
"Then take it away."
He sorted out the green shrimps and gave them to Lin Xu.
Just like that, Lin Xu returned to his stove with a plate of fish and a plate of fresh shrimps.
Boil a pot of water.
After the water boils, put the green shrimps in, boil them until cooked, put a grate in the pot, and put Guo Xinghai's fish in for steaming.
When feeding cats, steamed meat can maximize the nutrition in the meat and is better than boiled meat.
When the red-boiled prawns were dry and not hot to the touch, Lin Xu put them on a disposable plate and handed them to the staff next to him, asking him to help pass them to Shen Baobao.
It didn't take long.
A certain plump little cutie in the audience started eating shrimps.
Wait until the fish is steamed.
The shredded radish was also completely dried by the fan.
It's ready for fuel injection.
He put some cooking oil in a spray bottle and carefully sprayed it on the shredded radish in the bamboo basket.
After fans in the live broadcast room saw it, they became curious again:
"What are you doing, Boss Lin?"
"It's like taking care of your hair."
"Oh my god, it really sounds like you said that. I also use a small spray bottle to take care of my hair."
“So this dish has something to do with beauty salons?”
"The way he teased the carrot shreds was exactly the same way the barber teased my hair."
"I'm sorry, Boss Lin has crossed over into the beauty and hairdressing industry this round."
"Learn a craft, go to West Beijing, and be number one in beauty and hair salons!"
"Wrong, we should go to Linji."
"Yes, to learn the trade, go to Lin Kee, the number one in beauty and hair salons!"
A layman will only watch the fun.
But the experts at the advisory table have now figured out the way.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be spreading too much powder next, right?"
When Song Dahai saw this step, he realized that Lin Xu was making steamed shredded radish.
Who would have thought.
Steamed shredded radish with rice flour is such a simple home-cooked dish, but its sophistication is even more exaggerated than the beauty special effects of the short video platform.
He just finished speaking.
Qiu Zhenhua pushed up his glasses and said:
"The trick of spraying oil is really clever. It can prevent the shredded radish from absorbing water when steaming, and also prevents the starch from sticking due to too much oil when spreading the starch... It makes me want to try it."
He Baoqing asked:
"The steamed shredded radish made this way is indeed beautiful, but in the end it still has to be mixed with sesame oil and garlic paste. Isn't this mixing completely blind?"
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Xie Baomin felt happy.
He never expected that his junior brother could actually make a homely dish so sophisticated. No wonder he didn't make shredded white jade lotus root.
This dish is ready, and it is no less stunning than the shredded white jade lotus root.
Seeing the other head chefs looking at him, Xie Baomin said:
"You should think more divergently. Since you can use a spray bottle with oil, why can't you use garlic sesame oil?"
As soon as he said this.
Everyone showed expressions of sudden realization.
yes.
Since the oil can be sprayed, the sauce can be sprayed even more.
Needless to say, although Xie Baomin likes to trick people, his thinking ability in cooking is really online.
There are many problems that embarrass or trouble everyone in cooking. As long as this bitch is here, there is always a way to solve them.
Unfortunately, it's still too deceptive most of the time.
In today’s popular internet slang, it is:
A little conscience, but not much.
Guo Weidong said:
"This method opened up new ideas for me. I think some dishes can be improved by using watering cans."
Xie Baomin praised him and said:
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at your stuff, it's obvious at a glance, you are really the stupidest class of students I have ever brought up..."
Just when everyone thought Lao Xie was a good person, he suddenly acted like a head teacher, and the goodwill the chefs had in their hearts suddenly disappeared.
After Lin Xu sprayed the oil, he sprinkled the flour on it and patted it gently to let the excess starch fall off.
Finish these.
Set the steamer to boil.
Place the grate and spread a layer of cage cloth.
After the steam comes up, carefully place the shredded radish dipped in cornstarch on the cage cloth.
Then cover the pot and start steaming.
At this moment, Huo Yifan had also taken out the shrimps from the refrigerator.
Pour off excess onion and ginger water.
Then use kitchen paper to absorb the moisture on the surface of the shrimp, then pour the prepared protein batter into the basin, stir it, and coat the surface of the shrimp with a thin layer of batter.
After hanging, pour some cooking oil.
Stir again.
This way the shrimp won't stick together when oiled.
On the other side, Guo Xinghai was also coating the marinated fish fillets with paste, sprinkling a handful of starch powder into the fish fillets, and then adding an egg white.
Mix thoroughly and evenly.
Then pour in cooking oil.
The preparation of this dish is actually similar to Baipao Shrimp.
The ingredients are marinated to add flavor, then coated with a layer of protein paste, and finally cooked in a pot.
Lin Xu planned to wait for Baipao Shrimp to learn how to make fried fish fillets. If possible, wouldn't this be another specialty dish?
After the shredded radish in the pot has been steamed for four minutes.
Lin Xu opened the lid of the pot, carefully lifted both sides of the cage cloth, and lifted the entire cage cloth out from the grate. The steamed radish shreds were as white as jade, like white hair.
"Isn't this too beautiful?"
"Oh my god! I can't bear it anymore!"
"Can you catch it on my head? Ball ball!"
"Just now I thought it was a bit risky for Boss Lin to challenge meat dishes with white radish, but now I realize that it wasn't Boss Lin who took the risk, but my lack of knowledge."
"It would be great if it could be made into a wig. Once you put it on your head, you will definitely become the most beautiful thing at the comic show!"
"Ha, if you wear it to a comic exhibition, there is a high chance that everyone will rush to eat it."
When Lin Xu placed the shredded radish in the bamboo basket, the live broadcast room instantly boiled.
This is simply beautiful.
Even the pickiest person will say something awesome at this time!
You can't spray the juice yet. You have to wait a little longer to let the surface temperature of the shredded radish drop. This will make the shredded radish drier and absorb more juice.
Taking advantage of this time, he took the peeled garlic and started to squeeze the juice.
A few minutes later.
When the temperature of the shredded radish dropped slightly, Lin Xu took a small watering can and started spraying the juice.
"Sure enough, Lao Xie guessed it right."
"With such a spray, it has both taste and appearance. It's really good."
"It's a pity that I'm competing now, otherwise I'd have to taste it."
"Lao Xie, let your junior brother do it again later. Let's open our eyes and see the world."
"..."
The chefs talked to me one by one.
Xie Baomin didn’t refuse either:
"Okay, do you want to try it without saying a word? By the way, my junior brother is getting engaged tomorrow, so don't forget to give me a gift."
All the chefs: "..."
No wonder I agreed so happily.
You little bitch is such a thief!
While talking, Xie Baomin was chatting with Shen Guofu on his mobile phone.
I learned that tomorrow’s engagement party has not been arranged yet.
This senior brother is very excited.
He said:
"My junior brother's engagement party hasn't been arranged yet. Dongdong, do you have a big table in Building 10 that can seat dozens of people around?"
"Yes, the 56-person platform symbolizes the unity of the fifty-six ethnic groups."
"I made a reservation at noon tomorrow. The engagement banquet will be held there."
"OK."
Guo Weidong agreed, took his mobile phone and started sending a message to the front desk manager, asking him to tidy up the ethnic reunion private room.
After the venue is arranged.
Xie Baomin said to the boss He Baoqing:
"I bought that dragon. Don't let it die. The taste will be much worse if it dies."
"Don't worry, Lao Xie, everything will be fine."
"Tomorrow, Lao Dai and Lao Song will help me clean up the dragon's liver. The rest of the food will be divided among us brothers. We haven't made this for a long time, so let's try it out."
Qiu Zhenhua couldn't believe his ears:
"Lao Xie, you are too kind to your junior brother, right?"
Xie Baomin smiled:
"My master can't come, so I'll have to worry more about it. On such a big day, our master has to stand up, so as not to weaken my junior brother's face."
Lin Xu didn't know that his senior brother was helping him organize the engagement party.
He had just put the shredded radish on the plate after spraying the sauce, and then strolled to Huo Yifan's stove, just as Huo Yifan had just put the shrimp into the pot.
The fat in the pot smelled strongly of lard.
This not only increases the flavor of the shrimp, but also prevents the lard from coloring, ensuring that the shrimp is as white as possible.
Turn the heat on the stove to maximum.
When the oil is 70% hot, pour the shrimp into the pot, quickly spread and stir-fry over high heat for one minute.
Then pour it into a colander to control the oil, and then transfer it to a white porcelain plate.
When loading the plate, Lin Xu quietly used the cooking learning card.
"Consume an excellent cooking learning card and obtain an excellent dish - White Robe Shrimp. Congratulations to the host."
Finally got it.
Lin Xu breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although this dish is famous, the seasoning is actually very simple. Just put a little salt in the onion and ginger water where the shrimps are marinated and a little salt in the protein paste. That's enough.
The cooked white robe shrimps have a crisp texture and fresh taste. You can still feel the tender and smooth texture of the protein paste when you enter the mouth. Coupled with the flawless white color, it is simply impeccable.
After Huo Yifan put the dishes on the plate, Guo Xinghai also prepared the fried grouper fillets.
Then, Zhuang Yizhou's chickpea pudding and other contestants' dishes also began to be served.
The judges, who had been greedy for a long time, immediately came down and began to taste and score.
Chen Meijuan in the audience was a little nervous:
"Can Xiaoxu's dish win first place?"
At first she didn't think it was a big problem, but now she found that all the contestants' dishes were perfect, and they all cooked meat dishes.
Using big radishes to compete with meat dishes made her feel a little uneasy.
"Don't worry Meijuan, Xiaoxu is so good it will definitely be okay."
Although Han Shuzhen advised her relatives not to worry, she clenched her hands tightly for fear that the judges would lower her score.
After Shen Guofu finished chatting with Xie Baomin, he focused on the stage:
"In terms of stunningness, Xiaoxu's dish is the most beautiful. Who would have imagined that it is made of radish? I guess the first one is not controversial."
Seven dishes were placed on a table covered with white cloth in turn, and each dish was beautiful.
After the cameraman and Wu Kexin finished taking the close-up, the judges gathered around holding a small plate and chopsticks in their hands.
"Oh, these chicken bean sprouts are so tender."
"I didn't expect that Guan Yan could be stuffed into almond tofu."
“This lion’s head in milk soup really refreshed my understanding of lion’s head.”
"This winter melon box is also very delicious. It contains minced chicken mixed with diced shrimps. It tastes really delicious."
Compared to the previous round which was full of eggplant.
This round of competition is a bit like a fight between gods.
Every dish is almost to perfection.
Liu Zhengyu tasted the white-robed shrimps, nodded and said:
"This shrimp is really wonderfully cooked. The shrimp meat is sweet and crispy when chewed, but it doesn't have any fishy smell at all. It's great."
After eating the white robe shrimps.
He focused his gaze on the steamed silver thread on the table:
"A few years ago, I once saw in an ancient book describing meals that radishes as thin as hair were steamed in a pot. I thought it was a bit ridiculous. I asked many people in the industry and everyone thought it was impossible. Who knew that it would really happen today? I saw this method... Lin Xu, what is the name of this dish?"
"Powder steamed silver thread!"
"Yes, yes, that's what is written in that ancient book... Hey, you are replicating a lost dish."
He took a chopstick and put it into his mouth.
The first thing you taste is the taste of garlic juice. When you chew it gently, you can taste the glutinous texture of the starch on the outside of the shredded radish, followed by the soft and chewy texture of the shredded radish.
After eating, Liu Zhengyu thought about it again.
I think the texture, taste and presentation of this dish are all impeccable.
"It's worthy of being a lost dish. The taste is really incredible, but shredded radish requires such high knife skills, so it's no wonder it's lost."
Modern cooking is all about efficiency.
What chef is willing to work on a carrot?
In ancient times, materials were not abundant, and ingredients were in short supply in winter, so chefs racked their brains to think about ingredients that are shelf-stable.
After tasting all the dishes.
The judges started scoring.
In this round of competition, there was no limit on ingredients and the cooking time was doubled, so everyone tried their best to keep the bottom of the box.
This directly results in scores that are very close together.
Lin Xu scored 9.9 points, tied for first place with Huo Yifan.
Zhuang Yizhou's chickpea flower soup is clear and delicious, scoring 9.8 points, ranking second.
Guo Xinghai’s stir-fried grouper fillet scored 9.75, ranking third with a gap of 0.05.
As for other players, their scores were 9.7, 9.67 and 9.65 respectively, and the scores were very close.
After the scores are out.
The system prompt sounded again in Lin Xu's mind:
"The host won the first place in this round of competition, completed the fifth round of the series of tasks [passing the level], and received a physical enhancement card."
(Physique enhancement card: a card that can improve physical fitness. The improvement is approximately equivalent to one month of scientific fitness. It is invalid for cumulative use within one year)
Wow!
What about this kind of card?
Chu Yunfei's classic emoticon immediately appeared in Lin Xu's mind:
You can always come up with something new for me.jpg
Unfortunately it cannot be used cumulatively.
Otherwise, if I use one hundred and eighty cards in a row, I will not be able to transform into a Super Saiyan on the spot?
After finishing mumbling.
Chief judge Liu Zhengyu announced:
"Congratulations to Lin Xu, Huo Yifan, Zhuang Yizhou and Guo Xinghai for being shortlisted for the semifinals. It's noon now, and lunch has been prepared in the restaurant next door. All guests are invited to dine next door. The competition will continue at two o'clock in the afternoon."
The original plan was to finish the game in one go.
But now that the ratings are rising one after another, and many people in the audience are hungry, Zhen Wensheng has increased the lunch time.
Just waiting for the audience in front of the TV.
Let’s see if we can raise the ratings again.
After the announcement.
Everyone got up and went to the restaurant to eat.
Lin Xugang was about to go to the audience to find Shen Baobao, when Zhuang Yizhou, who looked a bit handsome, suddenly came over and asked:
"Master Lin, can we have lunch together?"
Eat together?
Is this something you are looking for?
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"My parents and father-in-law are in the audience. I have to eat with them at noon. What can I do for you, Master Zhuang?"
Zhuang Yizhou's expression was slightly awkward.
But then he took a deep breath, looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"I want to change my job and work in your store, is that okay?"
Nani?
Lin Xu never expected that the great chef of Yanjing Hotel would take the initiative to find a job in his restaurant. He even felt that he had heard wrongly.
After looking at the recruitment list on the system page, Zhuang Yizhou's name indeed appeared and was lit up.
But if you have a good stay at Yanjing Hotel, why would you want to change jobs in your own restaurant?
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"Can you tell me why?"
Zhuang Yizhou didn’t hide anything:
"I talked to a partner. Her family is from Beijing. Her parents required me to buy a house in Beijing with full payment before agreeing to get married. Later, I persuaded her to lower the standard and asked me to have an annual salary of 500,000... I stayed at Yanjing Hotel for a month It’s less than 20,000. If you want to reach this number, you can only choose to change jobs.”
Half a million?
If the annual salary is half a million, the monthly salary is just over 40,000, which is a bit high.
This price is enough to hire an executive chef in a five-star hotel.
Perhaps he saw Lin Xu's hesitation.
Zhuang Yizhou said:
"Personally, I don't ask for that much. Just give me 30,000 yuan a month. I usually play live broadcasts, and I want to gain some popularity from you, so that I can have extra income... But don't worry, I will definitely not delay my normal work. "
Lin Xu didn't agree to him, but he didn't refuse either:
"I can't decide this matter alone. Let me discuss it with our general manager. What do you think?"
“Okay, okay, can I add your WeChat account?”
After the two added WeChat, Zhuang Yizhou went to the restaurant to eat.
He just left.
Baby Shen rushed over:
"Xubao, I miss you!"
Lin Xu hugged her, and then, together with his parents, led by his senior brother Xie Baomin, he went to eat in a private room in the restaurant next door.
Well, considering that Lin Xu has many family members, a private box was specially arranged.
Wait until everyone goes in.
Lin Xu came to the corridor with his mobile phone and dialed Dou Wenjing's number...
