Chapter 117 Cooking Competition Part 2

Ou Jiahui suddenly said this, but it was not about him, but Cao Wei did make amazing moves at this moment.

At this moment, there were large ice cubes one foot square in front of his desk, and he himself was holding an ice-chiseled kitchen knife and started to move on the ice cube with drastic moves.

Under the rapid movement, ice flowers splattered everywhere, and it was obvious that he had a stomachache in his heart. But at this moment, the practice of wasting time on this superficial skill was really puzzled by many people.

Because the one-hour time limit is here, what's wrong with having this time? Why do you have to spend time on such a large piece of useless ice?

"Boss, it seems that you will win. You junior brother has no idea of ​​winning at all. He is simply a scheming man."

The chef who helped Ou Zhaofeng whispered in his ear, obviously not optimistic about Cao Wei, who was furious. But Ou Zhaofeng didn't think so, because he had already seen some clues.

"At this time, there is no need to think about the carving ice. It must be a fish dish. If you want to keep the freshly cut tuna, the best way is to freeze it. Only in this way can you keep the original deliciousness of the fish dish. The time is good, but I don't know if he has finished making this fish dish, and the remaining time is enough to make another dish."

After seeing through Cao Wei's thoughts at first glance, Ou Zhaofeng no longer delayed it. He directly put the fish head and bones into a big pot and started cooking the fish soup.

Large sea fish such as tuna rarely eats fish heads abroad. Including neon, it is mainly based on raw fish eating, and rarely uses the head and tail to cook.

But Ou Zhaofeng is different from these people, so he insists on starting with the fish head.

Those ghosts didn't know how to deal with the fish head and treated it as garbage for nothing. They didn't have the brain. In the eyes of Chinese chefs like Ou Zhaofeng, fish head is a good ingredient, and the right treatment is a natural delicious dish. He doesn't know how to do stupid things like buying a box and returning a bead.

As soon as the water in the pot smoked, he added the best flower decoctions, spices and green onions to the pot, so as to remove the fishy smell. After the boiling water churned and large pieces of blood foam poured out, he took out the fish head, then cleaned the blood foam, poured the fish bones and the remaining soup into the pressure cooker, and began to increase the heat and pressurized them.

This is to squeeze out all the essence from the tuna keel and pour it into this pot of fish soup. It can be said that the essence of his dish lies in this soup.

Of course, it’s not OK to have soup but not food. So he immediately pulled out a big kitchen knife, and started to process the fish head that had just been cooked.

The tuna skull is hard, and it is absolutely impossible to cook it slightly like many freshwater fish and boil the heads.

With this knife, the integrity of the fish head shape will inevitably not be retained. So Ou Zhaofeng was thinking at this moment, how can he present the essence of the fish head part in a different way.

This is one difference between a chef and an ordinary chef.

When an ordinary chef makes this, just make it well and the taste is not bad. But a chef of his level must take into account the combination of color, fragrance, smell, smell and shape.

A fish head is loose and scattered and served in a scattered manner, which will only ruin his reputation. Since he wants to do it, he must be outstanding in all four aspects.

"Take carrots, winter bamboo shoots and lettuce!"

He came up with a solution, and while calling for the kitchen to help him get the ingredients, he changed into a knife and began to shave the half-cooked fish head.

In terms of knife skills, he is not as good as Cao Wei. But compared to most chefs, he is still the best group.

The knife light in his hand was constantly shining, and the entire fish head, the flesh, and the finest fascia inside were scratched clean. The shaved slices were layered together. Ou Zhaofeng immediately changed his hand and started to stew the soup.

After all, he is a master who has been doing something for decades. Not only is he quick to tell, but his steps are also orderly. As soon as Cao Wei's iceberg was carved into shape, most of the steps on his two dishes were carried out.

This made Cao Wei stunned, and he felt a little urgent. Although he never regarded the chef as his main business, his personality here was naturally unwilling to lose to others casually.

So as soon as the iceberg was formed, he immediately changed into a thin kitchen knife and began to quickly deal with the pieces of fish.

Knife skills are his strengths, so he naturally wants to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. Therefore, the fresh ingredients themselves to highlight the delicious taste has become his best choice.

When the knife is raised, the fish meat falls like flying flowers, and the flowers are crystal clear and almost visible in light.

This fully demonstrates the thinness of the fish. With such knife skills, even the chefs who just disliked him, they felt a little impressed in their hearts at this moment.

After all, chefs and doctors are similar to those professions that depend on their skills. Unlike those traffic stars who don’t have any skills, they all rely on their superficial glamor and boastful appearance. This industry really depends on their skills to judge the level.

If you have superb skills, you will be looked up to by others. If you become a chef, you will have a million-dollar salary. But if you don’t have any skills, no matter how much you say, you will be able to make a dead person alive, no one will be willing to buy it.

Because diners won't pay because you say it nicely, you will have to drink the northwest wind in the end.

These helpers have been in the kitchen for decades and shorter for three to five years. You can tell at a glance how good or bad it is. When Cao Wei showed his skills, they naturally knew how powerful it was. The resistance in his heart could not help but become three points weaker.

After all, they are also fellow disciples of the same school and their boss, and at most this is just a friendly exchange within the sect. Of course, there is no need to treat them as enemies of the restaurant. When they think about this, the few chefs immediately became a little more earnest.

"Beautiful boy, the crab you want. I'll choose the big one for you, so make sure the cream is full of oil and fat!"

"Thank you."

He hurriedly washed a few crabs and put them in the steamer. After Cao Wei put the fish in the seat, he quickly began to deal with the tuna's neck.

The fat of the tuna is not as fat as the belly of the fish. At the same time, because it has tendon tissue inside, it is more chewy than the belly of the fish when eaten.

Cao Wei's choice is to roast it while retaining the fascia. This can not only maintain the plump taste of the tuna, but also reflect a unique flavor that is different from fish. Of course, simply baking alone cannot become his winning method. If he wants to beat an old chef like Ou Zhaofeng in this kind of cooking competition, he must be more creative. So...

"Monkey Sailai, it turns out that you can still play like this!"

"This knife skill is simply amazing!"

Cao Wei's subsequent performance opened his eyes to the chefs. While they were rushing to observe, they also surrounded Cao Wei, which made Ou Jiahui, who wanted to stick her face to the glass, unable to see what was going on.

She was so anxious that she scratched her head. She couldn't help but want to touch her and join in the fun. But when she saw He Min sitting there quietly, she seemed to be not caring at all. She still suppressed her vigorous curiosity.

"Sister He, aren't you curious?"

"It's okay. I think if you keep a little mysterious now, you may have a bigger surprise later? So, it's not that you can't be more patient."

"Wow, you really admire your qi cultivation skills... By the way, Sister He, what job do you do? I think ordinary people don't have the good temper of you."

Maybe he thought He Min's words were reasonable, Ou Jiahui no longer wanted to find out the truth. Instead, she turned her curiosity on He Min.

This kind of different attention made He Min a little uncomfortable, but for her cultivation, she answered frankly.

"I am a teacher and work at the Edinburgh school."

"Teacher? No wonder. Only teachers like you who deal with a group of students every day can have such good patience. However, if you are a teacher, how did you know my uncle? I think he is only seventeen or eighteen years old?"

He looked at Cao Wei in the crowd carefully, then turned around and looked at He Min. Ou Jiahui's face suddenly changed, and a surprise that seemed to have heard the shocking secret suddenly appeared.

"Wait! Sister He, you two are not in that relationship, right? Is it so exciting?"

"Don't talk nonsense, he and I are just friends, ordinary friends!"

As soon as he heard Ou Jiahui's guess, He Min immediately turned red and quickly argued. But this kind of thing was not something she could argue clearly with just one word. Even the more nervous she was, the more she made Ou Jiahui firmly make her judgment.

He couldn't help but rub his hands, and Ou Jiahui shook her eyebrows and had a wretched expression.

"Do you friend? I understand! Hehe, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense. But Sister He, tell me quietly how you met and how you got to this point. Who took the initiative first? Is it my uncle?"

"You really misunderstood. Also, I'm going to be angry if you say this!"

"Okay, I won't say it."

Seeing that He Min was really angry and embarrassed, Ou Jiahui couldn't continue to tease her. At this time, she also looked up at the wall clock on the wall, and immediately she jumped up like a monkey.

"Hey! The time is up. We can start eating!"

"It's time, it's time! An hour has arrived. Have you done it?"

Ou Jiahui shouted at the outside with a loud voice, and neither Cao Wei nor Ou Zhaofeng quickly stopped the movements in her hands.

The time can be said to be just right. And Cao Wei, who had stopped and started to wipe his hands with a towel, glanced at him. Ou Zhaofeng nodded slightly and smiled at him.
Chapter completed!
