"What's wrong? What do you need me to do?" Lu Hailan asked doubtfully, feeling nervous at the same time.
"Ingredients?" Ye Shitian asked, then walked into the kitchen, looked at the ingredients on the chopping board, and said: "Unlike the ingredients in Xia Kingdom, Fazhou's cuisine pays special attention to the taste of the ingredients themselves."
"The quality of the ingredients determines the quality of the dishes to a large extent. Needless to say, the opponent must have made sufficient preparations and transported the food by air. This is unfair to He Yao."
Ye Shitian talked eloquently and analyzed.
He Yao gave Ye Shitian a deep look and nodded: "It's true. Although the ingredients here are considered fresh, they are far different from those brought by Mi Fu. This time, he is fully prepared. With the help of
During the teacher's training time, he comes here specifically to see us."
"If we lose the game, no matter what the reason is, the teacher's status in Fazhou will be threatened, and He Yao and I will definitely be kicked down by the royal family."
"Why is this like this? It's so shameless!" Lu Hailan shouted angrily: "Tell the prince about this, it's not fair at all."
"It's useless." Ye Shitian shook his head and explained: "This is how people in Fazhou treat food. Since the other party has traveled thousands of miles to come here to challenge, it means that He Yao's current position is above that person."
"I have to fight. It's like Bushido. You know you may die, but you still have to take action."
After Lu Hailan listened to Ye Shitian's explanation, he was stunned, and then said: "Yao Yao, what can we do?"&"
"Look, arrange for someone to go to the market and buy some fresh food and send it over. There is also a native chicken, and I will also send one over." He Yao thought for a while and said.
As soon as He Yao finished speaking, before Lu Hailan could agree, he listened and heard Ye Shitian's voice.
"There are only a few major markets in Zhonghai. What this restaurant buys are the freshest ingredients. Now if people go to buy them, the ingredients may not be good."
"Furthermore, the quality of the local chicken here does not have any advantage due to Fangzhou's unique technique. Do you have any prescribed dishes?"
Ye Shitian said and continued to ask.
"No." He Yao shook her head and said, "But those are the dishes that the prince likes."
The atmosphere in the kitchen became a little solid for a while.
After He Yao finished finishing the pastries on the chopping board, she also didn't know what to do next.
If it were based on normal Heng cooking, these ingredients, they wouldn't have to think about it, they would definitely lose.
Once she loses this game, for her, it is not as simple as being embarrassed, but it is about her own future and her status as a master.
But now, the two of them have been forced into a corner. The most important thing is that their opponent is not easy to mess with, and he is also Hengxiang's chef!
Ye Shitian looked at the dishes on the desk and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Tell me first what you want to cook."
"Tell you?"
He Yao knew that Ye Shitian also knew something about cooking. At this time, there was no other way. He could only grab a life-saving straw and try it, just in case it could succeed.
Let’s see what Ye Shitian plans to do first.
"The first dish is going to be fire-grilled sweet fish."
"Sweet fish?" Ye Shitian then took off his suit and clothes, put them aside, directly reached into the tank next to him, and fished out a fish.
Ye Shitian's behavior shocked He Yao and couldn't help but ask: "What do you want?"
"Cooking." Ye Shitian slammed the fish on the chopping board, and at the same time picked up the knife and started to hang the scales: "I can't watch you lose, can I?"
"There is no fresh fish now, but you can also use seabass instead. You can prepare some dill for me, grind the star anise, add an appropriate amount of salt and pepper, and mix them together."
"Crack another egg, add two grams of butter, two grams of soda water, and mix with salt. Be sure to mix evenly."
Ye Shitian spoke quickly and moved his hands quickly. While speaking, the scales of the fish were already removed.
He Yao stood aside, looking a little confused.
"Ye Shitian, what you asked me to do is..."
He Yao's face was full of confusion.
"Hurry up and do it. I'll explain it to you later." Ye Shitian looked serious and had already begun to clean the fish's internal organs. His technique was very skillful. Even the most difficult parts were clean in just one stroke.
He Yao looked at Ye Shitian deeply for a few seconds, then with a determined look on her face, she did as Ye Shitian said.
After Ye Shitian finished cleaning, he poured turmeric powder into the rice and simmered it until some rice was cooked.
"You remember what I said and do it accordingly. If you can't surpass the other party in terms of ingredients, you will have to find other ways."
Ye Shitian said while operating: "Put all the ground ingredients evenly on the fish, and sprinkle some olive oil and pepper on it."
"Put it in the oven and take it out after about twenty minutes. There is no special limit to this time. Just wait until both sides are brown and tender, then add alcohol and fennel."
"I asked you to add water to the fish body after the fire is out. In this way, the aroma will be more intense. Using turmeric and rice to enhance the aroma can fully bring out the aroma of this dish.
"
Ye Shitian talked eloquently, without caring whether she understood or not, and asked again: "What is the second dish?"
"Aohai shrimp."
Hearing this, Ye Shitian stood in front of the chopping board and thought, and then took out a live lobster from the tank. Although it was fresh, it was not as plump and firm as his opponent's meat.
"Take some celery, some celery, and 40 pieces of chopped green onion, and chop them into fine pieces."
Ye Shitian ordered while cutting the lobster.
"Take another 40 grams of butter, put it in the pot, lower the heat, and leave another 60 grams of still butter, hurry up."
"Oh." As soon as He Yao put the fish in the oven, he immediately followed Ye Shitian's instructions and began to melt the butter.
"Take forty grams of butter, fry the celery, and then boil it in water for a while to keep the celery firm."
Ye Shitian has already finished cooking the lobsters, removing the shells and placing the fresh shrimp meat in front of him.
Ye Shitian moved so quickly that He Yao was overwhelmed.
If Ye Shitian hadn't been reminding her, she would probably have messed up.
"Okay, okay." He Yao shouted.
Hearing this, Ye Shitian didn't check it, so he put the chopped lobster into the pot and stir-fried it, poured in the brandy, and used the pot to burn it.
"This is……"
He Yao couldn't help but feel a little horrified when she saw what Ye Shitian was doing. She remembered her master once telling her that there were some cooking masters who could use a small amount of ingredients to process the food to the maximum extent.
