The chef's eyes rolled, he thought for a moment and said:
"If you can tell me, I will, I will..."
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, I saw Uncle Chen's vegetable washing water still sitting in the basin.
He pointed at the basin and said immediately:
"If you can tell it, I'll drink it. But what if you can't taste it?..."
Xia Xiaoyu said immediately without even thinking about it:
"Then we will no longer participate in the competition for Yongde Garden!"
The chef immediately agreed.
You know, after working in the chef industry for so many years, I have only developed fifteen kinds of dishes, and I still have two to go.
Xia Xiaoyu is not a chef at all, how could he taste it?
As soon as Xia Xiaoyu finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
He eats very slowly.
After a while, I heard Xia Xiaoyu slowly say:
"Star anise, nutmeg, aniseed, dried ginger..."
These are the ones Xia Xiaoyu mentioned.
This three-star chef didn't take it seriously at all.
These are common seasonings and are used in basically any dish.
It's not unusual to eat it.
Xia Xiaoyu took another bite, then turned to look at Uncle Chen and said with a smile:
"Uncle Chen, you actually put some peppercorns here. No wonder the spicy taste is different from the taste of chili peppers!"
Piper pepper belongs to traditional Chinese medicine and is also a kind of condiment.
Put it in dishes to enhance the flavor and promote digestion.
As soon as Xia Xiaoyu spoke, the Samsung chef was stunned.
You know, he didn't even taste the piper.
Uncle Chen smiled and nodded.
Xia Xiaoyu immediately gave a thumbs up to Uncle Chen and praised:
"Uncle Chen is indeed a master. He actually added fragrant grass in it. This ensures that the taste will remain sweet after entering the mouth. Uncle Chen is awesome!"
Uncle Chen took great advantage of Xia Xiaoyu's praise.
When Xia Xiaoyu finished speaking one by one.
Uncle Chen actually said with some excitement:
"Young man, what on earth do you do? In all these years, no one has ever been able to get all seventeen of my spices right! You are the first!"
Xia Xiaoyu smiled modestly and did not answer Uncle Chen's question.
In Xia Xiaoyu's eyes, this little skill is nothing more than a minor skill.
Because from the first day of being a doctor, what you learn is to use your mouth to identify medicines.
He can identify thousands of herbs when put together.
Forget about the seasoning.
After talking to Uncle Chen, Xia Xiaoyu picked up the sink and handed it to the Samsung chef.
He said with a smile:
"Mr. Chef, I guessed it right, it's your turn this time, please!"
Looking at the basin of dirty water, the Samsung chef looked embarrassed.
He looked at Qin Xiaoman in the audience, hoping that she could help him speak.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiaoman had a cold face and ignored him at all.
Because of the three-star chef's arrogance just now, everyone in the audience was already dissatisfied.
Seeing that he didn't take the basin, someone shouted:
"Drink, drink quickly, keep your word, and be willing to admit defeat!"
"Where did that arrogance just now go? If you don't drink it, we will go up and drink it!"
The Samsung chef had no choice but to take the dishwashing water.
I saw him frowning and looking helpless.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I drank a lot.
But after two sips, he couldn't stand it anymore.
He threw the basin away, covered his mouth, ran to the side, and started retching.
Xia Xiaoyu didn't want to force him anymore, just teach him a lesson and forget about it.
Although Xia Xiaoyu guessed seventeen kinds of spices correctly.
But in the first round, after all, it is still a competition between Xiao Ding and Samsung Chef.
Therefore, the first round ended with Qin Xiaoman winning.
The second round is a cooking competition.
The time limit is 40 minutes and you are required to bring your own ingredients.
Xiao Ding's ingredients are packed in a fresh-keeping box.
As Uncle Chen announced the start of the game, Xiao Ding went off stage to get the fresh box.
But as soon as he arrived off the stage and opened the box, he couldn't help but froze.
Stunned for a moment, he quickly looked up at Xia Xiaoyu, who had already returned to his seat.
He stared and said in disbelief:
"Xia, Brother Xia, things are gone!"
Xia Xiaoyu was stunned. He didn't understand what Xiao Ding said.
Busy asked:
"What's missing?"
"Everything is gone. All the ingredients I prepared are gone!"
Xiao Ding's words shocked both Xia Xiaoyu and Qin Zimo.
The fresh-keeping box that was just placed there, why did the ingredients in it suddenly disappear like this?
On the stage, the three-star chef had already started cooking in an orderly manner.
Xia Xiaoyu and Qin Zimo hurried over to take a look.
Sure enough, the crisper was empty.
The time limit is forty minutes, and now all the ingredients are gone.
Even if you go to the nearest supermarket to buy it, the round trip will take at least half an hour.
There is no guarantee whether we can buy the ingredients we need.
Xia Xiaoyu was anxious when he suddenly heard Qin Xiaoman say angrily:
"How long has this been? What new dishes are you still researching over there? Why haven't you started yet..."
Uncle Chen didn't know what happened, so he also asked Xiao Ding:
"Mr. Xiao, why don't you start?"
Xiao Ding looked frustrated and said unwillingly:
"All the ingredients I prepared are lost..."
"Lost?"
Uncle Chen was also shocked.
With so many people present and the food still being lost, someone must have stolen it on purpose.
But now is not the time to investigate who stole it.
Uncle Chen frowned, thought for a moment, and then said:
"In this way, I will extend the game time. You guys go and buy some. If you want to go back quickly..."
Before Uncle Chen could finish speaking, he saw Qin Xiaoman standing up immediately.
Looking at Uncle Chen, he said dissatisfiedly:
"Uncle Chen, I'm not like you! It's obviously only forty minutes, why should you extend the time? If that's the case, you can extend it for a few more days, and I'll invite the national chef for the state banquet."
Isn’t that okay?”
Uncle Chen was speechless for a moment.
No matter who the restaurant is served to in the end, you have to make your own rules.
It is indeed unjustifiable to destroy it in public.
Looking at the stage, Xia Xiaoyu was completely helpless.
After all, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
When the ingredients are gone, no matter how superb Xiao Ding's cooking skills are, there is no use for him.
Seeing that Xia Xiaoyu and the others were silent, Qin Xiaoman sneered and said:
"I tell you guys, please stop struggling and give up on your own initiative. When our chef prepares the dishes, you can have a good taste..."
Xiao Ding looked at Xia Xiaoyu and whispered with self-reproach:
"Brother Xia, it's all my fault for not paying attention to the box..."
Xia Xiaoyu immediately shook his head.
"It has nothing to do with you. If someone wants to do something, if you just watch, they will find an opportunity!"
Saying that, Xia Xiaoyu stared at the stage and said:
"You guys go back and sit down, I'll go on stage!"
Qin Zimo was stunned, looked at Xia Xiaoyu, and asked in confusion:
"What's the use of going up there? All the materials are gone..." (To be continued)
