"I have no choice but to borrow a chicken to lay eggs!"
"Borrowing chickens to lay eggs?"
Qin Zimo and Xiao Ding looked at Xia Xiaoyu in confusion, neither of them understood what he meant.
Xia Xiaoyu didn't explain either.
I saw him striding up towards the stage.
As soon as he arrived on the stage, Xia Xiaoyu first walked to the kitchen counter where Uncle Chen was cooking.
Uncle Chen made that dish before and prepared ingredients such as pork elbows, green peppers, and eggs.
Because he only made one portion, the amount was not large.
There are still some ingredients left on the kitchen table.
Xia Xiaoyu gathered them all together and put them on his kitchen table.
When he saw Xia Xiaoyu picking up these leftovers, Qin Xiaoman in the audience sneered and said sarcastically:
"You stinky beggar, you pick up these rags, which is in line with your status as a beggar! You don't want to use these things to make a treasure trove for the judges, do you?"
As he said that, Qin Xiaoman couldn't help but giggle.
What she calls Baibao rice refers to the various kinds of food that beggars collect and stir them together.
Because the food style is so complicated and there are all kinds of dishes in it, it is called Baibao Rice.
Xia Xiaoyu ignored her and started slicing the remaining elbows and peppers on the kitchen counter.
After all, Xia Xiaoyu is not a professional chef, and his knife skills are average.
Compared with the three-star chef next to it, there is a big difference.
Ordinarily, when most people cook, they start by heating a pan and heating oil.
But Xia Xiaoyu is different.
As soon as the gun was fired, Xia Xiaoyu took out a pill from his pocket.
No matter what the temperature of the pot is, just throw it directly into the pot.
As soon as the small fire was turned on, he stood aside as if nothing was wrong.
On the other side, the three-star chef was working smoothly.
And, he is almost done.
After a while, as the temperature in the pot increases.
The pills began to slowly melt.
Xia Xiaoyu then threw the elbow slices and chili cubes into the pot.
Start stirring constantly.
The three-star chef has already prepared the dishes.
Xia Xiaoyu stir-fried for a while before putting the vegetables on the plate.
The two dishes were just placed on the kitchen table.
When the people below saw it, they couldn't help but start talking about it.
The three-star chef made a French dish, Burgundy snails.
Both the presentation and the handling of the ingredients are exquisite.
Just looking at it makes people salivate and want to take a bite immediately.
However, Xia Xiaoyu's fried elbow with green pepper was not surprising at all.
It looks more like it was made by a housewife.
Looking at the two plates of food, Qin Xiaoman couldn't help but chuckle.
Pointing at Xia Xiaoyu's dish, he said mockingly:
"You stinky beggar, what do you call this food? Give it to my dog, it won't even eat it! At your level, do you still want to take over Yongde Garden? Just dream!"
Uncle Chen was also a little disappointed when he looked at Xia Xiaoyu's dish.
This is just a home-cooked dish, nothing special about it.
But he still said to the two people on the stage:
"Now that everything is done, please introduce your dishes separately..."
The three-star chef looked at Xia Xiaoyu's green pepper elbow and deliberately said with ridicule:
"Come on, your food is so good, you should introduce it first!"
As he said this, he also deliberately made a gesture of invitation towards Xia Xiaoyu.
He was ready to take revenge for drinking the dishwashing water just now.
Xia Xiaoyu was not humble and said directly to everyone in the audience:
"Everyone, I think you all know that any piece of beautiful jade, before it is carved, looks like a hard stone. We call this kind of hard stone rough jade. Just like this dish of mine, it looks like a hard stone.
The appearance is average, but the taste is probably average..."
Before Xia Xiaoyu finished speaking, the audience was already bursting into laughter.
It looks average and tastes average.
So what else can compare?
Xia Xiaoyu's words made the three-star chef curl his lips involuntarily.
Then, he introduced to everyone in the audience:
"My dish is French baked Burgundy snails. It is a famous dish in French cuisine. In order to restore the taste of this dish as much as possible, I specially chose Roman snails. I also used pesto, parsley and butter as the ingredients.
Accessories. Because pesto can cover the fishy smell of the snail itself, and parsley is used to enhance the umami flavor. Butter can enhance the quality, making the snail taste better. Finally, put it in the oven and bake for fifteen minutes, then set aside
Just put it on the plate..."
The three-star chef spoke plausibly, and he looked at Xia Xiaoyu from time to time, his eyes full of contempt.
Seeing that both of them had finished speaking, Uncle Chen said to the invited gourmets:
"Fellow food experts, let's go to the stage and try these two dishes..."
Everyone came to the stage one after another.
Unexpectedly, they walked towards the French snails served by the three-star chef.
Taking chopsticks, everyone began to taste.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a gourmet who immediately gave a thumbs up and praised the chef:
“Excellent, the taste is great. It not only keeps the freshness of the original ingredients, but also makes the taste so round. Not bad, a rare good dish!”
Other gourmets have eaten it and praised it repeatedly.
Even Uncle Chen was not satisfied with the chef.
As soon as I finished eating, I gave him a thumbs up and praised me repeatedly.
Qin Xiaoman in the audience was even more proud.
This game seems to be stable!
Tried the French escargot.
Everyone walked to Xia Xiaoyu's green pepper elbow flower again.
Looking at this plate of food, no one was willing to move their chopsticks first.
In fact, these people are also very surprised that the smell of this dish is quite fragrant.
But it's definitely not the kind of aroma that comes from cooking.
It looks very ordinary and has no appetite at all.
An older gourmet was the first to speak:
"Young man, you don't need to taste this dish. Just by looking at it, I can tell that you are doomed to fail. Your elbow flower is not cooked enough, and it still has blood veins. As for the green pepper, it is too cooked.
The crisp and refreshing aroma of green peppers has been lost. Young man, we won’t taste it anymore. You need to practice more cooking skills in the future..."
Once a gourmet hears this, he refuses to try it.
Qin Xiaoman was even more proud. Looking at Xia Xiaoyu on the stage, he laughed and said:
"Since these gourmets won't even try it, you'd better take your famous dish home and enjoy it yourself!"
Xia Xiaoyu was not anxious or annoyed, he still looked at these gourmets with a smile and said:
"Everyone, let's try it first! Just give me, a newcomer in the food world, a chance!"
I heard Xia Xiaoyu say so, that old gourmet.
Somewhat reluctantly, I picked up the chopsticks, deliberately picked up a small piece of green pepper, and put it in my mouth.
As soon as it entered his mouth, his whole body was stunned.
A fresh fragrance that he had never experienced before made his whole body feel smooth and his appetite whetted.
He even felt that he was delusional. (To be continued)
