The next day, at six o'clock in the morning, people from both sides met in the large kitchen and pastry department on the first floor.
"Oh, oh, oh, I'm starving, Lao Li, let's start quickly." The old man said while lying on the rocking chair.
"Yeah." Comrade Li, who was sitting on the bench next to him, rolled his eyes.
"Our general is here first. Young guest, you go first." The old man waved to Shi Ke who was yawning because he was not full of sleep.
"Okay. Let's catch up on some sleep after the competition." Shi Ke patted his face and walked to the stove.
"Boss, the first game is handmade noodles. You are the best at making noodles, so you can join." Comrade Lao Li waved his hand towards his eldest grandson.
"Well, my name is Li Pin. Please give me some advice." The eldest grandson walked to the cooking table and bowed to the stone guest.
"Well, please give me your advice." Shi Ke also returned the greeting.
"Brother Shi Ke, I am twenty this year. I have learned cooking skills for many years more than you. I am your elder brother's old enemy. I was only one step behind him in the last competition, but I failed in the end. So, I advise you, I
My opponent is your eldest brother, and he is the one I really want to defeat. If you don’t want to lose too badly, just change someone. Let your eldest brother compete with me!!" Li Pin rolled up his sleeves and said.
"..., you almost defeated my eldest brother? That's awesome!! I have to be more serious." Shi Ke looked at his eldest brother Shi Kuan, who nodded seriously and then looked at Li Pin with a smile.
"Well, your confidence is commendable. Then I will defeat you first, and then find time to compete with Shi Kuan." Li Pin rolled up his sleeves and picked up various flours to mix the proportions.
"Yeah. Then I'm not polite." Shi Ke poured half the bag of flour onto the pastry table, then made a small hole with his hand.
"Huh? Are you going to make it so rudely without controlling the proportion of flour? In this way, your noodles and mine will essentially lag behind mine. Don't get me wrong, this is not a mockery.
This is just my advice to you as a senior." Li Pin added water, eggs, and kneaded the prepared flour.
"To be simple, there are many types of flour, but it is difficult to control. It is the last word to make noodles that taste good and have a first-class texture. Over-reliance on ingredients is a fatal injury for chefs." Shi Ke stretched out his hand and put his hand in the small water in the middle of the flour pile.
I drew circles with my hands in the pit, one circle, two circles, three circles, and kept drawing circles. A small vortex gradually formed in the water surface of the pit, getting bigger and bigger, and spinning faster and faster.
"Huh? What's going on?" Li Pin's expression was a bit broken. Although the whirlpool created by Shi Ke was getting faster and faster, there was no flour splashing everywhere, and all the flour gradually gathered towards the center of the whirlpool.
After leaving, the whirlpool seems to have turned into a black hole, endless and never full.
"Huh..." Shi Ke lifted his hand from the center of the whirlpool, and a flour pillar spun upright following Shi Ke's hand. Then the rotation of the flour pillar gradually stopped, and the flour pillar collapsed.
"..." Comrade Lao Li was stunned for a while, then walked to Shi Ke's stove with a crutch and looked at it. After looking for a while, his shocked expression was palpable.
"How do you make this soft and smooth dough?" Comrade Lao Li looked at Shi Ke.
"Using centrifugal force and the weight of the flour itself, the dough itself can be stretched. It works wonders!" Shi Ke smiled.
"Shitang, you hide it well. Did master secretly teach you this skill?" Comrade Lao Li looked at the old man, with doubts in his eyes but also a bit of jealousy.
"..., when did you see our master know how to do this? You said I can do it, don't falsely accuse the master."
"Then where did your grandson learn this skill?"
"You ask him, why are you asking me? I don't know how to do this! He is the only one in our Shi family who knows this kind of strange trick."
"Yeah?"
"Damn it, believe it or not. When have I ever lied to you about this kind of thing?"
"Okay. Shi Tang, then our master and his old man have a successor. But this competition is not over yet, and it is not certain who will lose and who will win! My grandson is not scared!!"
Shi Ke glanced at Li Pin on the stove opposite and saw that he was in a daze, so he understood.
This guy wasn't scared, he was just stunned.
"Hey! Brother Pin! Don't be stunned." Shi Ke woke up Li Pin, who was dazed with his hands in the pile of flour.
"..., you are very strong. Then I will defeat you even more!!" After Li Pin finished speaking, he continued to knead the dough with his head down, but judging from the intensity with which he kneaded the dough, it seemed more like he was kneading the dough hard to vent his emotions to relieve himself.
Nervous mood.
Shi Ke looked at Li Pin, who was serious and looking like he was fighting for his life, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a certain arc.
"This Li Pin!! It's worth my serious effort to defeat!!" Shi Ke put the kneaded dough into a big bowl to wake up, and thought to himself.
After a while, Li Pin also kneaded the dough and started to rest it.
Shi Ke was handling the bean sprouts as ingredients. He removed the beans and roots from the bean sprouts one by one and cleaned them slowly and gently.
"..., remove the heads and tails of bean sprouts? What's the weird trick of using bean sprouts as a side dish for noodles?" Li Pin thought to himself as he wiped the sweat from his forehead while kneading the dough.
"Huh? Hahaha..." Shi Ke seemed to feel something, he raised his head and smiled silly at Li Pin, and continued to handle his bean sprouts.
"Hoo!! Li Pin, Li Pin! Everyone is competing seriously, how can you have the nerve to desert?!" Li Pin thought to himself.
Afterwards, Li Pin patted his face to cheer up, then picked up the quail that had been prepared long ago, and handled it with a serious expression. For a moment, all the nervousness on his face disappeared, and all he could see in his eyes was
I saw a sentence.
I have to go all out for this man!!
"That's right! Then you have to be more serious." Shi Ke glanced at Li Pin, walked to the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator, and took out a box of beef.
"Hmm!! It's A5 grade beef!!" Comrade Li's second grandson said.
"Hmm. I didn't expect that one of the three Shitang brats would go abroad to study like you." Comrade Lao Li said.
"However, A5 grade beef is generally used to make steaks or grilled. If used as a side dish, it will probably overwhelm the show. The taste of the noodles will be suppressed and no trace of it will be left. This is definitely a bad move, a big bad move.
!" said the second grandson.
"Brother Li Wu, don't jump to conclusions in such a hurry. The skills that guy showed before are not something ordinary people can use. Let's take a look and talk about it." The third grandson spoke.
"Li Mao, it was just after watching his previous move that I thought he was just faking it. Think about it, how can you master that kind of move without ten or eight years of hard work? So, that guy should
He is a person who is too obsessed with technology, but he will be a lot worse at cooking itself. If he has no problem with both, then I can only say that we have met a god!" Li Wu said.
"That's true. Brother Shi Kuan is already scary enough. The second brother, Shi Fu, was given a banner when he was seven years old, saying that his cooking can save lives and heal the wounded! He must be very good at medicinal diet. The third brother, who has always seen the beginning and end of the dragon, if he is another
Genius, the old man has to stick it out!!" Li Mao said.
"You brat, who is the choreographer?" Comrade Li was unhappy. He turned around, picked up his walking stick and was about to hit someone.
"Grandpa, I was wrong." Li Mao didn't run away. He squatted on the spot with his head in his hands. He was probably afraid that Comrade Li would chase him and throw him down if his temper got angry.
"Grandpa... Calm down, calm down, that's what Xiaosan said. The three of us will compete again in the future! We will compete until we win! Let you feel comfortable!" Li Wu tried to smooth things over.
"If it weren't for your filial piety, I would have slapped you long ago! You all failed to live up to your expectations!" Mr. Li sat down angrily, but he still couldn't bear to actually hit you.
"Yeah, yeah. Our hard work can make up for our shortcomings, so we must work hard!" Li Wu agreed actively.
Li Mao squatted aside and curled his lips, thinking, "It's not that we don't live up to expectations, it's that our opponent is too strong!"
"Zi!!!" The sound of stir-frying in the iron pot reached everyone's ears.
Li Wu looked at the source of the sound. Shi Ke was stirring the pot, "Fried noodles?! No, the noodles haven't been cooked yet. Stir-fried beef with green onions? This is his side dish!"
"My side dish is dice beef stir-fried with green onions." Shi Ke put the beef on a plate.
"Really? It's interesting, but I won't announce it first. We'll see later." Li Pin put the quail in the pot and started cooking it.
Ten minutes later, both sides served their dishes!
