When Bai Yunling heard this, she immediately looked at Liu Guodong's hands. There was no difference at first, but when she saw the scars on Liu Guodong's hands, she frowned and said, "Could it be a scar?"
"Yes, it's Scar."
Liu Guodong said: "I just asked the little brother how many years he has been cooking, and he said he has been cooking for 20 years. When I asked him how many fingers he had, I was asking how many of his fingers were left by knife practitioners.
Scar, he said that he has all ten fingers. Even I can't do this level of difficulty. I asked him how many hands he had, and I was asking him about the posture of lying down on the knife. He said that he could hold it with both hands. I asked him again.
All birds and animals can be used. I asked him if he could cook with birds and rare animals, and he said that even dragons and phoenixes can be cooked!"
Liu Guodong and Ye Qiu all praised him: "This little brother is also a wonderful person. He speaks common language, can connect with me, and knows what I am asking."
Bai Yunling didn't think anything at first, but when she heard Liu Guodong's explanation, she was shocked. Is this Ye Qiu really a secretive chef?
"Uncle Liu, let me go and take a look."
Thinking of this, Bai Yunling was about to go back to the kitchen, "By the way, Uncle Liu, I'll leave your box to you. You can go up and sit."
"That's fine."
Liu Guodong nodded, "Yunling, don't forget to leave me a portion of the food cooked by that little brother."
"good."
Bai Yunling agreed and hurried back to the kitchen.
"This kid."
Liu Guodong shook his head.
Bai Yunling walked quickly back to the kitchen area, feeling that her heart was about to fly.
She knew that Liu Guodong was very accurate in judging people. He was more famous for his eye for people than for his cooking skills. It was thanks to Uncle Liu's eyesight that her father was able to build the hotel to such a big scale.
However, is this guy Ye Qiu really hiding his secrets?
…
In the kitchen.
Xu Daguang stared at Ye Qiu and said in a bad tone: "I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup you poured into Uncle Liu. Let me help you, but I warn you, if I find that you can't cook, give it to me immediately.
Get lost."
Others also looked at Ye Qiu, not believing that this ordinary-looking migrant worker could actually cook.
"It's useless to talk more, just watch."
Ye Qiu said calmly that he had never seen anything before, it was a piece of cake.
It's just that this expression was so unflattering that Xu Daguang felt itchy with hatred in his heart.
snort!
If I find out later that you can't cook, I will kick you out of the kitchen!
Xu Daguang looked at Ye Qiu, his eyes full of suspicion, but when Ye Qiu picked up the kitchen knife, he was shocked.
It seems that this guy just touched the knife and the kitchen knife became "sticky".
Damn it, isn't this the top knife skill that can only be acquired through long-term practice - "sticking the knife"?
Xu Daguang's eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw Ye Qiu handling the ingredients with a knife easily. Because his hands changed so quickly, the knife seemed to stick to his hand and spin, which was very magical.
Others also noticed it and couldn't help but stop what they were doing and stared at Ye Qiu in shock.
There was a crash.
Ye Qiu took a knife and cut open the belly of a salmon that was very difficult to handle, and cleanly took out the intestines inside. After cleaning it, he used the knife to slash upward from the tail spine along the spine, and pulled it out directly.
When it reaches the skull of the salmon, the blade is turned, and the entire knife is cut diagonally against the fish body. A complete piece of fish skin falls off, without a trace of fish meat on it, and is as smooth as a mirror.
Puff!
At this time, the salmon still jumped a few times, thinking that it was not dead.
It was simply a miraculous skill. It was so amazing that everyone present, including Xu Daguang, was stunned to see it. Their mouths were so wide that they could put down an egg.
This move allowed them to know Ye Qiu's cooking skills and also let them know the difference between them.
"so amazing."
Xu Daguang murmured that this was the knife skill he dreamed of.
At this time, Ye Qiu took the knife again and began to process the fish meat. He wiped the salmon meat with the knife. Nothing could be seen, but it had actually been cut into thin slices.
Xu Daguang picked up a piece of salmon and looked at it. It was almost as thin as a cicada, and he almost knelt down.
I took it into my mouth and tasted it again. I found that the sashimi didn't have a trace of fishy smell, and there was no trace of "rust" smell on the knife. I couldn't help but shout out!
It is easy to slice the fish, but it is not easy to make the fish meat have no peculiar smell.
Xu Daguang's eyes popped out.
After processing the fish, Ye Qiu began to process the carrots, tomatoes and onions. He slashed the knife a few times, and the light of the knife formed a shadow. After a while, he carved the three ingredients into different carvings, then put them on a platter and put them on.
A few slices of salmon, a few drops of lemon and soy sauce, and a cold dish is complete.
Afterwards, Ye Qiu quickly processed several cold dishes, all showing off his superb knife skills.
After about ten minutes, all the cold dishes were ready.
The cold dishes include: spring garden, three flowers blooming, four side dishes, etc.
The patterns of the thirty cold dishes are not the same at all, and the materials used are also different, but they have one thing in common, they are all very beautifully made.
Xu Daguang was convinced. If he had to finish these cold dishes by himself, he wouldn't be able to finish them in half an hour, an hour, or three hours, let alone ten minutes.
He simply couldn't carve such an exquisite pattern.
"Scrape the fish scales and add ginger to remove the fishy smell."
Ye Qiu reminded.
Xu Daguang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took the ingredients and started cooking. He was convinced by Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu glanced at the others and said, "Whatever you are doing here in a daze, get busy. The banquet is about to begin."
The others woke up from a dream and started working hurriedly, but this time they didn't work as mindlessly as before. Now that they had a backbone, they all listened to what the chef said.
…
Bai Yunling stood at the door of the kitchen, watching Ye Qiu's knife skills performance just now, and she was mesmerized.
When she came back to her senses, her eyes filled with joy, she saw that Ye Qiu had finished handling all the cold dishes, and then she walked into the kitchen area.
At this time, Ye Qiu is making the dish "Crispy Fish in Oil". The difficulty of this dish is to remove all the fish bones, and also coat the fish with mixed powder and fry it. Every part must be fried evenly.
It can't be too tender and it can't be too cooked.
Ye Qiu first used a knife to cut the fish meat into a cross-cut knife, quickly removed the fish bones, then cleaned it, and then marinated it with fresh vegetables and seasonings. It originally needed to be marinated for 30 minutes, but with Ye Qiu's processing, the flavor can be absorbed in just a few minutes.
.
Then, take out the fish meat of the seabass, sprinkle the mixed powder evenly, and carefully sprinkle it back and forth several times. When it is evenly coated in powder, put it into oil and fry.
A few minutes later, Ye Qiu took the fried seabass out of the boiling oil, drained it and put it on a plate. Then he garnished it with onions, ginger, coriander, and soy sauce.
"Try it."
Ye Qiu pushed the fried golden crispy fish in front of Bai Yunling.
