Reborn – Super Chef

The original buns were in the shape of steamed buns, so the buns that Ye Chui squeezed into a semicircle are the most authentic buns. This is a kind of bun created by Ye Chui going back to the origin, but even so, this bun obviously made Qin Yiyue still Even Han Yuyan and An Xiaoxiao became a little worried.

This is a steamed bun competition, but it's not about whose steamed buns are more affordable. Of course, this kind of competition should try to make the steamed buns more exquisite, smaller and exquisite--the emerald steamed buns made by Yin Yuehua from Shenghua Garden opposite are just pinching one by one. It is small and attractive, like a piece of white jade, and when the buns are steamed, the thin skin without dough will directly present a translucent texture, and the green stuffing inside will be directly exposed through the skin, making the The buns are more and more attractive, which is the origin of the emerald buns. The green buns are strange in shape and delicious.

Of course, ordinary steamed buns can be steamed in about 20 minutes in the steamer, but this kind of emerald buns are not easy to steam because of the dead bread skin, so it takes more than 30 minutes to steam the buns .

Han Yuyan, An Xiao, and Qin Yiyue helped Ye Chui put the specially made "steamed buns" into the steamer. Although they were a little confused about the shape of the steamed buns, the three still believed in Ye Chui's concoction. The steamed buns are stuffed. Next, we will see how the steamed steamed buns will taste.

At this time, a chef from the Shenghuayuan side suddenly came over. This is a middle-aged man with a short stature. One of the five-star chefs said with a smile: "Boss Ye Chui, we have to wait another 30 minutes for the steamed buns to be cooked. Why don't we have the next cooking competition during this time? It also saves time. "

Before Ye Chui could speak, Han Yuyan immediately accused him with some displeasure: "The next competition is about to start before the steamed stuffed buns are steamed? You must want to fight Master with wheels, and there is no time for Master to take a breather." right?"

Just now Ye Chui agreed with the opponent that there are three games in total, which originally put Ye Chui at a disadvantage. Now that the first game has not yet been concluded, the second game is about to start impatiently. It is clear that he wants to drag Leaves hang down.

A trace of shame flashed across Lu Chen's face. They had indeed planned this way before. He felt a little ashamed for the senior chefs deliberately making things difficult for a young man, but then he thought about the difference between this young man. He didn't want to challenge them. Nine people? This is an insult to them, so Ye Chui asked them to fight with each other.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said mockingly: "We are just in a hurry. Since Boss Ye wants to challenge the nine of us alone, I don't think he will care much about this matter, right? Of course, if Boss Ye wants to It is understandable for me to wait until the buns are steamed before comparing with me."

This Lu Chen is obviously very proficient in speaking skills. After these words, Ye Chui would be timid if he couldn't compare them.

Han Yuyan was a little annoyed and wanted to continue to argue with the other party, but Ye Chui patted Han Yuyan on the shoulder to stop her from speaking, but he said to Lu Chen: "Okay, it's up to you, let's wait for Baozi Do the second match before you get familiar with it, but I don’t know what you want to compete with me?”

Ye Chui agreed to the second competition, Lu Chen immediately looked happy, and the chefs on the Shenghuayuan side also showed happy expressions, and then their expressions became mocking again: Lu Chen wants to fight with The items in Ye Chui's competition are very strange. It is a magical cooking skill that cannot be learned without more than ten years of training. It can even be said that this cooking skill has already risen to the category of art, not the art of cooking. Rather... the art of carving.

What he wants to compete with Ye Chui is food carving.

Moreover, what Lu Chen wants to compete with Ye Chui is the most difficult to master and complete in food carving——

"Boss Ye, my cooking skills are limited, but there is one cooking skill that I am quite proud of, and I can do it well. This time I will compete with you, Boss Ye: tofu carving!" After Lu Chen finished speaking, A look of complacency naturally appeared on his face. Obviously, this tofu carving is his special skill. In this respect, he is full of confidence, and he is confident that he can completely crush Ye Chui.

He looked at Ye Chui, "Hehe, I also know that tofu carving belongs to the side of culinary art, and most people certainly don't put much effort into it. Even Master Miao doesn't have much knowledge in tofu carving. Ye Boss, if you think this game is inappropriate, we can compete with others."

After saying this, Lu Chen looked at Ye Chui with a smile. Although he said that if Ye Chui felt inappropriate, he could compare with others, but Ye Chui obviously had no way to refuse what he said.

"Tofu carving?" Qin Yiyue's expression changed slightly upon hearing Lu Chen's suggestion.

Cooking skills are extensive and profound, but there are some cooking skills that chefs must practice. Sculpture is one of them. Food carving is for the color of color, fragrance, and deeper meaning and shape, but not every chef has extra If you want to study food carving, there are usually dedicated chefs in large kitchens to study this side effect.

In short, food carving belongs to the category of assistant chefs. There are not many real chefs who study food carving intensively. Even Qin Yiyue, although he has studied food carving seriously, his level is not yet refined .

Both Han Yuyan and An Xiaoxiao's expressions changed slightly. Even if they don't know the difficulties of food carving, they can imagine it, and tofu carving...it is undoubtedly even more difficult to carve with soft tofu More difficult, this game is simply too difficult!

They all looked at Ye Chui worriedly.

Then they saw that Ye Chui was smiling, very plainly, and he smiled and said to Lu Chen: "Tofu carving? Well, let's do tofu carving."

Ye Chui agreed to the competition so calmly, but it was beyond the expectation of many chefs in Shenghuayuan. Lu Chen thought that Ye Chui would show embarrassment and choose to back down, but he did not expect him to agree so calmly. He snorted coldly, and continued: "That's good, let's start now. There should be enough tofu in Manhanlou."

"Of course." Ye Chui nodded, then turned to Han Yuyan and said, "Heavy Rain, go to the cabinet and take out the tofu you prepared this morning."

The restaurant is not open yet, but Ye Chui has already thought of this kind of competition, so he asked people to prepare all kinds of ingredients early in the morning. Han Yuyan agreed, and took out a whole batch from the freezer. Come to a piece of tofu, and this tofu is also top-quality, with a white color and a well-proportioned texture. When you touch it lightly, the whole piece of tofu will tremble slightly, showing excellent elasticity.

Lu Chen was very knowledgeable about tofu, so he inspected it and cut a piece out of a whole piece of tofu.

Ye Chui also cut off a piece here.

Tofu carving needs to be done underwater. This is a technique and a characteristic of tofu carving. Of course, some people choose to freeze the tofu slightly, and then carve after the tofu becomes stiff. But if you do this, the texture of the tofu will change Alteration, while easier to carve into shape, is inferior in taste.

Ye Chui and Lu Chen both chose to carve underwater.

Under Ye Chui's signal, Qin Yiyue went to call Meng Gang, Huang Yong and other waiters, and moved out two fish tanks from the water room beside him, filled them with clean water, and this is where the tofu carving is.

Meng Gang, Huang Yong and others also arrived one after another just now, knowing what was going on, they were all nervously watching outside the kitchen.

Lu Chen took out a shiny and slender kitchen knife. In traditional Chinese food culture, kitchen knives are divided into six categories, namely Wen Dao, Wu Dao, Wen Wu Dao, Small Knife, Chopping Knife and Hatchet. What he took out was a small knife, which belonged to the knife specially used for cutting fruit and could also be used for some chef carving. With a complacent expression on his face, holding the tofu in one hand and the knife in the other, he went deep into the water In the cylinder.

"Master, what kind of knife do you want to use?" Han Yuyan didn't know much about food carving, so when he saw the knife used by Lu Chen, he immediately asked Ye Chuidao.

"Just use that chopping incense stick."

Ye Chui said with a smile, took out the chopped incense from the wooden box, and also held the tofu in one hand and the kitchen knife in the other and sent it underwater.

Use chopped incense for tofu carving?

Whether it was Qin Yiyue, Han Yuyan, An Xiaoxiao, the chef from Shenghuayuan on the opposite side, or the waiter standing at the door of the kitchen, they were all stunned: You know, although Zhanxiang is a good kitchen knife, But this kitchen knife is too heavy, it will definitely be easy to use when cutting meat, but it can be used to carve tofu... Isn't this a bit inappropriate?

Tofu carving is obviously a very delicate job, using a large kitchen knife, this style of painting is simply a bit wrong.

Lu Chen glanced at Ye Chui's movements, and smiled coldly on his face, apparently convinced that Ye Chui was messing around, carving tofu with a kitchen knife, thanks to Ye Chui's idea, he ignored Ye Chui, and he was in the water tank. When I started to carve with ease, the white tofu powder kept falling, and the transparent water tank became cloudy and white in an instant, and the line of sight was blocked. At this time, I was engraving blindly, which is also one of the difficulties of tofu carving.

A group of chefs in Shenghuayuan were discussing in a low voice.

"Chef Lu's tofu carving skills are superb. He once won an award in the National Food Sculpture Competition. It is almost impossible to win him!"

"His tofu carvings are lifelike, and the most important thing is that they are so natural that they are known as works of art!"

"There are also people who come to Shenghuayuan specially to appreciate Master Lu's tofu carving skills. This is something that a young chef can compare to. I see what Boss Ye can compare with him... Hey, how can Boss Ye do it?" The hand was taken out of the water tank."

"Has he carved it?"

"How is it possible? I think I accidentally broke the tofu, so I want a new one!"

Amidst the discussion, Ye Chui took his hand out of the water tank, and on the palm of his hand, there was a flying dancer as clear as white jade, as if she could fly away at any time... (~^~)
