Chapter 800: The Battle of the First Chef (Part 2)
This "Eighteen Buddhas" came up and shocked the whole audience.
Grand, gorgeous, exquisite, unparalleled and breathtaking.
This is Zhang Chun'er's style. It can even be said to be innate. Every dish of hers is like this. Just from the appearance, it can give people endless surprises. It is exactly the opposite of Song Ao's style, so the two of them The collision of people is definitely full of expectations.
Even Li Qi didn't dare to underestimate him.
The lotus pedestal made of ice is emitting a hint of air-conditioning, which makes the eighteen brown "Buddhas" look dreamlike and beautiful.
Zuo Boqing asked curiously: "What is this 'Buddha' made of?"
Zhang Chun'er smiled slightly and said: "You two are one of the chief stewards of the imperial kitchen, and the other is the king of kitchens with golden swords. They have sharp eyes, so they must be able to recognize them at a glance."
Unexpectedly, this woman was so arrogant. Zuo Boqing was stunned and turned to look at Li Qi.
Li Qi smiled and said, "Brother Zuo, you should say it first."
Zuo Boqing didn't show any humility, because with their cooking skills, there was nothing to be humble about. He said: "According to the limited ingredients today, it can be made so smooth and translucent. I think it's either pig skin jelly or pork rind jelly." Made of fish jelly.”
Li Qi nodded and said: "But I think the hope of fish jelly is greater."
"Master Li, what do you say?" Zhang Chun'er asked with a smile.
Li Qi shrugged and said, "Because Mrs. Song's best specialty is fish. With Mrs. Zhang's character, I think if you want to defeat her, you will definitely choose the dish she is best at."
A flash of surprise flashed in Zhang Chun'er's eyes, and then she smiled and said: "Master Li is joking, pig skin jelly tastes bad and is suitable as an ingredient, but as the main ingredient, fish jelly is more suitable. Master Li, do you think so?"
Li Qi nodded and smiled: "Of course, of course, I'm just talking casually, then I'll try Madam Zhang's 'Eighteen Buddhas'."
"please."
"please."
Li Qi extended his hand to Zuo Boqing again and said.
Several people scooped one with a spoon and put it into their bowls.
"It's crystal clear and round enough. From the appearance point of view, it's already impeccable." Li Qi looked at the "Buddha" who was losing all the air in the spoon, shook his head and praised it, and then said: "I just don't know how it tastes?" As he spoke, he put "Buddha" into his mouth. A cool breath surged from outside to inside, from top to bottom. His whole body felt very comfortable. Before chewing, he said: "It's cool and pleasant, smooth and not greasy." ." He took a light bite and said: "There is no fishy smell at all, and the mouth is full of freshness." After tasting it carefully, he said "oh" and said: "There are fillings in it, it's sashimi, wonderful, wonderful ."
Zuo Boqing laughed and said: "Brother Li, these three sentences fully describe the taste of this 'Eighteen Buddhas'. I didn't expect that there are even fillings hidden in it. No wonder Madam Zhang chose to use the best." Laojiang cooked this carp."
Li Qi shook his head and said, "More than one."
"How do you say this?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "I think it took at least three big carps to make these eighteen 'Buddhas', because she couldn't put the sashimi in after the fish jelly was formed. That was definitely not possible. She The sashimi must be put into the soup first and then frozen, but in this case, the position of the sashimi cannot be controlled by the chef, and he can only choose more, so there will never be more than one carp."
Zhang Chun'er nodded and said: "Master Li is absolutely right. I used a total of four carp, mixed with twenty-four ingredients to make soup, and chopped the sashimi into pieces. In order to make these sashimi It does not affect the appearance, so I also used good old sauce. In this way, the color of the soup will become darker. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell that there is sashimi hidden in it, and it is different from the color of the beads. Reflecting each other.”
"That's it." Zuo Boqing smiled and nodded, and said, "The best thing about this Buddha beads is that it's on the sashimi. Because the fish jelly is so cold, you won't rush to swallow it when you put it in your mouth.
When you taste it carefully, the frozen fish will melt when it is heated, and the sashimi itself has to be dipped in the sauce. It is frozen first and then melted. In this way, the sashimi will absorb the sauce more perfectly. It is really wonderful.
Place."
Li Qidao: "Brother Zuo is right. Although this sashimi is only a small piece, if eaten alone, it might not be enough to fill the gap between teeth. But since we didn't know it in advance, we just tasted the fish jelly, and the fish jelly will naturally be fine."
Taste it carefully and don't be too hasty, but you can inadvertently savor the taste of this small piece of sashimi to the extreme. It is even more commendable that Mrs. Zhang can use the way of eating jelly to bring out the best of the sashimi."
Those who didn't eat it were intoxicated just by hearing what they said. The rest of the people who tasted it, outside Gao Yanei, all praised it, but they still felt that they were still satisfied.
Zhang Chun'er smiled and said: "Master Li, thank you for your praise."
Fan Shaobai felt more and more upset as he listened to the music, and hurriedly asked: "I wonder if you two have any results."
Zuo Boqing was the manager of the imperial kitchen, and with this reputation, he naturally became one of the judges.
Zuo and Li looked at each other, and as soon as their eyes communicated, the answer seemed to be coming out.
But at this moment, someone was heard shouting anxiously: "Wait a minute, there's still me..."
Everyone was startled and immediately remembered that there was another contestant today, it was Liu Yunxi.
Zuo Boqing patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot that there is another delicacy. Madam, please bring your ham."
"Hey, hey, hey."
Liu Yunxi nodded immediately and used a dagger to quickly cut the ham into pieces. He saw that the inside was bright red and white in color, and because the ham was huge, almost everyone could eat it.
arrive.
Li Qi saw that her knife skills were sharp and the pieces of meat she cut were evenly sized, and he nodded secretly.
As soon as the ham was served, a strong aroma of meat hit your nostrils.
Li Qi raised his hand and said: "Don't be too busy eating." Then he said to Liu Yunxi: "I'm sorry, you are a cook, or a cook that no one here knows. Should you go first?
Try it."
When everyone heard this, they immediately reacted and were frightened. If this person got some medicine and put it inside, they would all be told here.
In fact, Li Qi's words were very clear. Liu Yunxi didn't seem to understand yet, so he nodded and said: "It's true that I am the capital of the Song Dynasty and I am so particular about food, so I will eat first."
As she spoke, she picked up a plate at random, cut off a piece with a dagger, and put it in her mouth. While chewing, she said with a smile: "It's so delicious. Haha, I actually brought two here, but I was greedy on the way, so I ate them first."
Got one.”
Li Qi saw that she was going too far in her simplicity, and saw that she didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even have a trace of doubt in his heart. The key point is that the smell of the meat is so damn attractive. He said: "In that case, let's taste this ham.
."
Everyone then started to eat. Hong Tianjiu bit off a large piece of meat and shouted vaguely: "Wow! This barbecue is really delicious, ehhhhh."
Gao Yanei also added vaguely: "People are more beautiful."
"....!"
But after Li Qi and Zuo Boqing tasted it, they both frowned and looked at each other.
Seeing their expressions, Zhang Chun'er and Mrs. Song were curious, so they cut off a piece with a knife and tasted it. However, after tasting it, their expressions were surprisingly consistent with those of Li Qi and Zuo Boqing.
Zhang Chun'er said: "The meat of this ham is tender, oily but not greasy, rich in fragrance, and tastes mellow. However, it has a very special taste that I have never tasted before."
Li Qi nodded and said: "You can also taste it. I have never tasted this kind of taste, but what is certain is that this taste makes this ham even more delicious."
Sister-in-law Song asked: "Could it be that she used some spices?"
Li Qi and Zuo Boqing shook their heads at the same time. Li Qi said: "When she was making spices, I watched them. They were very ordinary. Although I have never seen those mushrooms, this is definitely not the taste of mushrooms."
Gao Yanei rolled his eyes and said: "Really, this person is here, why are you guessing, as if he is a good cook?" As he said this, he walked up to Liu Yunxi with a smile on his face.
, smiled and said: "Little lady, how do you make this ham?"
When he said this, Li Qi and Zuo Boqing immediately looked embarrassed. They had to say that what Gao Yanei said was so right. You would know it as soon as you asked, so why make blind guesses.
Liu Yunxi looked innocent and said with a smile: "Yeah, you all tasted it."
"Of course, who is this Yanei?" Gao Yanei smiled while stroking the red flowers on his temples.
Shameless!
These two words are the voices of everyone present.
Liu Yunxi didn't seem to feel the sexual cells in Gao Yanei's body, and nodded: "To be honest with you, my ham is actually unique in the world, and it will be gone after eating it."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked. Li Qi asked: "This ham is also a pig leg, how can it be unique?"
Liu Yunxi smiled and said: "The pig legs are good, but they were taken out of the belly of a big snake. I remember that day, I was looking for prey in the forest, and suddenly I saw a big snake lying in the grass with a bulging belly, so I shot it.
I discovered that it turned out to be a wild boar, which had just been swallowed. I saw that it was very complete, so I thought I shouldn’t let it go to waste, so I took it and made it into ham.”
"What? In the belly of a big snake? Vomit---!"
Gao Yanei's eyes protruded, and a purple-green color appeared on his face. He immediately bent down and vomited.
"vomit!"
"vomit!"
Many people in Gao Yanei couldn't help but vomited it out immediately.
**! No wonder I have never tasted the taste of wild boar taken out from the belly of a python. Then isn't it above---, I am the king of chefs, I am the king of chefs, and I must not be embarrassed. Li Qi didn't think it was anything at first, but
Looking at the virtues of Gao Yanei and others, his stomach was churning. He forced himself to hold in his breath. He glanced at Zuo Boqing next to him and saw that he was also holding it in extremely hard.
"Bah bang bang bang, it's so ingenious, so wonderful."
Li Qi was swollen and pretending to be fat, his face was red, but he still applauded.
"Thank you for the compliment." Liu Yunxi nodded, not hearing the implication at all. He pointed at the people who were vomiting and said with a depressed look on his face: "But they---?"
Am I complimenting you? Li Qi gritted his teeth and said: "This is the difference. They can't taste the taste of this snake at all."
vomit!
As soon as these words came out, there was a new round of vomiting.
"This is really unique, so I will eat more."
Hong Tianjiu was a fierce man who was not afraid of heaven or earth. He listened with gusto and ate even more deliciously. He ran forward with a piece of meat in his hand and asked with great interest: "Hey, Madam Liu, that snake must have
It's so big that even a wild boar can swallow it."
Liu Yunxi gestured with both hands and said, "It's almost this big."
"Wow! So big?"
Hong Tianjiu said: "Aren't you afraid?"
"I hunt in the mountains all year round, so I'm not afraid."
"You are really awesome. I will ask you to go hunting with me next time."
"Okay! Okay!"
When Hong Bajin saw that his son was getting more and more delicious, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and wondered whether he was his biological son.
Zuo Boqing drank three cups of tea in a row before he recovered. Although he was still frightened, he was also very curious and said: "Brother Li, why does this pig become so delicious when it is taken out from the snake's belly? How on earth is this going on?
thing?"
Li Qi said angrily: "Who knows what happened at that time, I'm lucky that I didn't get poisoned to death." In fact, he was also confused in his heart, but there are all kinds of strange things in nature, and the same is true for cat poop coffee.
Liu Yunxi saw that Li Qi and the others were mumbling, and said hurriedly: "Two eldest brothers---."
"Don't call me big brother, I'm younger than you." Li Qi waved his hand and thought, what kind of evil have I done to meet such a stupid girl.
Liu Yunxi changed his words and said: "Two chefs, we just made two dishes. You all said them so well. What about my dish?"
"good!"
The two said in unison, it was simple and clear, and I really didn’t want to make any more comments.
Fan Shaobai, who had recovered, didn't want to mention the ham anymore and hurriedly asked: "Do you two have any results?"
Li Qi rubbed his forehead and whispered: "Brother Zuo, you better tell me, I'm afraid of being beaten."
This kid is really cunning. Let me do such an offending thing. Zuo Boqing saw that Li Qi had turned his head to that side. Obviously he was not prepared to give him the above-mentioned opportunity. He coughed lightly and said: "This time
In the competition, Madam Zhang won."
