Gourmet food: starting from eating halberds to become a chef

Chapter 37 Brilliant Knife Craftsmanship

Somewhere in the meeting place, Erina looked intently at the cooking table in front of her, as if she was thinking about the dishes for this assessment.

And the face of the senior student opposite her had turned dark, with a hint of despair in his eyes.

Suddenly, Fei Shazi ran quickly from the cooking not far away: "Miss Erina, it's not good."

She was still holding the phone in her hand, as if she had received some news.

Seeing the anxious Fei Shazi, Erina was also slightly taken aback, with doubts in her violet eyes: "What happened?"

Running over quickly, Fei Shazi was also a little tired, short of breath, panted twice, and said, "Meng Youjun's opponent is Ning Ning, the sixth seat of the Ten Heroes."

"Isn't this a good thing for me? It also saves me from choosing an opponent for him." Erina froze for a moment, a seductive smile appeared on her pale red lips.

Fei Shazi's eyes widened slightly: "But..."

He just said a word, looked at Erina who squinted his eyes, and knew her temperament after many years of getting along, so he suppressed the words.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again: "There is another student named Ye Shanliang who launched a halberd attack on Mr. Meng You."

"Ha Shanliang, I seem to have a little impression." Erina gently rubbed her chin with her fingers.

Fei Shazi immediately explained: "His sense of smell is extremely sensitive, Miss Erina, you have paid attention to him once or twice."

After explaining, Erina also remembered, and her eyes lit up slightly.

She remembered that Ye Shanliang's cooking skills were pretty good. Although he couldn't cause trouble for Meng You, an annoying guy, it was okay to be disgusting.

There is also Ji Zhiguo Ningning, her strength is difficult even for Erina.

Now they are facing two at once, and now she wants to see how that nasty guy should deal with it.

When she was thinking, Fei Shazi looked at Zhu Yuanwang who was walking slowly on the stage, whispered something to Erina, and walked quickly back to her cooking station.

And Zhu Yuanwang came to the stage, looked at the students who were staring at him, and didn't say much, just glanced at Meng You, and then said loudly with the microphone in his hand.

"Assessment begins!"

After the voice fell, many students below also got serious and quickly processed their ingredients.

There are several large screens on the top of the built-up table. From time to time, through the monitoring in the venue, the students in the venue are showing the situation of handling ingredients and cooking. Among them, middle-level star students like Meng You and Erina are naturally placed on the stage. First place, each occupying a big screen.

And these videos are being shown through various channels, and are watched by many students who were not selected in the senior department and students in the first and second grades of the middle department, and discuss with each other through Yuanyue's internal forum.

The most striking thing among them was the discussion about the confrontation between Meng You and Ji Zhiguo Ningning. Messages were sent up one by one, but they might not have been seen by anyone before they were brushed down by new messages.

The frenzy of the discussion was surprising but expected. The battle between the Ten Heroes already occupied an important position within Yuanyue.

But Meng You didn't pay any attention to all of this.

He stared at the white and tender whole chicken in front of him, sorting out the ideas of this cooking in his mind.

Roast chicken with honey sauce and spices, a dish that tends to be Western-style. Meng You doesn't know why Mira had this dish in that era, but it has to be said that Mira's improvement of this dish is quite perfect.

Generally speaking, to make this dish, the chicken must be marinated for at least 24 or even [-] hours to make it fully flavored before it can be grilled.

But after Mira's improvement, the spice structure of this dish has become more and more complex, but correspondingly due to the combination of various spices, the marinating time has been greatly shortened, and it only takes half an hour to fully taste, and the taste The impact force is also greatly improved.

Judging from Meng You's current accomplishments in the spice inequality, it is also miraculous.

The so-called spice inequality is actually like a framework. Within this framework, there are many formulas. By copying these formulas or changing them slightly, the taste of cooking can be greatly improved.

Of course, the spice inequality that Meng You has obtained now is only of green quality, with fewer formulas and relatively simple, so he can't further improve this Mira's improved dish for the time being. This time he just wants to copy it safely and make it Here's the light version of Honey Spice Roast Chicken.

While thinking about it, the kitchen knife in Meng You's hand swung out, and two whole chickens the size of the palm of an adult were cut open, revealing the inside.

Gently poking the inside of the chicken with the palm of your hand, the inside of the whole chicken provided by the academy has been cleaned very well, Meng You's eyes froze.

Whether it is the original or Mira's improved cooking, the next knife processing is very important. It is necessary to peel off the excess breastbone, spine, and cartilage inside the chicken, so as to ensure that the chicken can be roasted in the process of roasting. The heat is evenly heated, the aroma inside is brought out, and the baking time is shortened.

Generally speaking, scissors are used to deal with it, but it takes too long, and Meng You can't wait.

And some people watching the situation in the venue through the video saw an incredible scene.

I saw Meng You waving the kitchen knife in his hand, and there was a slight squeak inside the chicken, as if it had collided with something hard, and in the next second, the entire spine of the chicken was detached, caught by the kitchen knife. With a slight flick of strength, it fell to the chopping board beside it.

After treating the spine, Meng You did not stop his movements, and immediately began to process the spine. His posture of holding the kitchen knife seemed to have changed, and the palm of his hand was placed at the front of the handle, which seemed a little weird.

But the weirdness is weird, the movement of Meng You's kitchen knife didn't slow down at all, following the swipe of the tip of the kitchen knife, cartilage and sternum were stripped out one by one.

The entire forum was already in a commotion, and people were frantically discussing Meng You's miraculous knife skills. Among them, several students from the higher department who were famous for their knife skills said that they could not learn Meng You's methods, and they would not learn at all. The gap between the two knife skills is worlds apart.

It didn't take long for the knife to be processed. Meng You let out a sigh of relief, and looked at the whole chicken in his hand that was turned over and lying on the ground like a dog, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This attempt was actually a huge challenge for him. Several times he almost brought out the meat and the skin was torn, but fortunately, he succeeded in the end.

I started to process the accessories in my hand and planned to make a marinade.

Because he had practiced thousands of times, Meng You was able to separate his mind a little while he was handling it, and looked at Ji Zhiguo Ningning at the opposite cooking station.

For the time being, Meng You's preparation didn't seem to have too many tricks, so the big screen showing it also turned its perspective on Ji Zhiguo Ningning.
