Zhao Caimo said: "I have made an appointment with Shangguan Xiongba for you. He is waiting for you in the Metropolis tonight to celebrate your cooking competition successfully. Second, I will talk to you about the matter in Guanghan Palace."

Su Le blurted out: "Are you going?" After saying that, this guy immediately regretted it. What is the place of the metropolis? The paradise of men is not that true for women. Su Le didn't mean to embarrass Zhao Caimo on purpose, it was just a matter of saying that.

Zhao Caimo whispered softly: "You will talk about the matter between you alone!" She did not show any unhappiness. Whether Su Le's words were intentional or unintentional, it was not enough to embarrass Zhao Caimo. After she finished speaking, she remembered something and said meaningfully: "When you go to such occasions of sensuality, you must control yourself."

Su Le smiled and said, "It's okay, I have always been very determined."

Zhao Caimo laughed at him because of his words.

Su Le accompanied Zhao Caimo to the competition site. As soon as he entered the competition, he heard thunderous applause. This was just one of the venues for the preliminary round. The contestant's Bai Jian Kung Fu was being tested on the scene.

The so-called Baikan is what is often called pastry. Don’t underestimate Baikan’s skill. You can see a chef’s basic skills from Baikan.

The ten chefs on the scene showed their abilities. Today's proposition was decided by Liu Xianyang, chairman of the Chinese Catering Federation. When Su Le didn't come in just now, these chefs had already performed knife skills.

Su Le accompanied Zhao Caimo to the guest seat and sat down. Zhao Caimo saw Li Lianhai in the middle of the guest seat. Li Lianhai looked at it very seriously and did not notice the arrival of this little sister-in-law.

On-site service staff delivered two bottles of mineral water.

Su Le whispered to Zhao Caimo.

In fact, the preliminary competition is just a preliminary screening. After becoming the organizer of the competition, Su Le's attention to the competition itself has dropped significantly. What he cares most about is whether the competition can be carried out smoothly, rather than the specific process of the competition. People pay attention to different things at different stages. If in the past, Su Le must have looked at the problem from the perspective of a chef, but now he has begun to consider the problem from the perspective of an organization manager. The change in position determines the mentality.

Liu Xianyang's proposition is very simple. Noodles! The ten contestants on the scene showed their own abilities and had to make a bowl of noodles with colors, fragrance and flavor within the specified time. As for the specific categories, there is no regulation. You can make braised noodles, hot dry noodles, cut noodles, fried noodles, oil splash noodles, braised noodles, pot-cover noodles, wonton noodles, or dragon beard noodles, cold noodles, loaf noodles, or even spaghetti and Arabian noodles. As long as you make noodles and can win the recognition of the judges, then you can stand out from the preliminary competition.

Among the ten contestants, there are many experts from the White Case. KO is Xiao Jingliang, the chef of the Qiantang store in Wu Yue. He is also the most favored player by Li Jingxian. This time he chose him to participate in the competition, which was also a heavy responsibility for him. He made the most common noodles.

Su Le is concerned about No. 3, senior sister Zhu Xiaojiao. Today, Zhu Xiaojiao was wearing a white chef outfit as white as snow. In order to distinguish it from others, she specially tied a dark red bow on her high hat. Zhu Xiaojiao stood in front of the face and was not as eager as other contestants. She seemed to be thinking about something, full of momentum.

After thinking about it for about three minutes, Zhu Xiaojiao began to start from kneading. She watched the white flour add water to quickly increase its solidification. Under the rubbing of Zhu Xiaojiao's chubby and strong palms, it quickly turned into a dough. What she wanted to make is ramen. The dough is a key step in making ramen. In winter, warm water is needed. The dough pattern is easily affected by natural temperature. The temperature of the dough pattern is different when kneading the dough, so that the temperature of the dough is always maintained at about 30 degrees. This is scientific reason, because at this temperature, the protein in the flour has the highest water absorption, which can reach 150% and the gluten generation rate is the highest, and the elongation and elasticity of the dough are the best. Only in this way can it be easy to stretch.

Water and ash will be added long during the production process of western ramen. The osmotic pressure of water can reduce the distance between protein molecules in the dough and increase the density. In particular, it can enhance the viscosity of gluten protein, one of the gluten proteins, and improve the ductility and elasticity of the dough.

In order to enhance the glutinous feeling of ramen, the most commonly added is glutinous ash. glutinous ash is an alkaline substance made of glutinous ash, a special product of Gobi. When adding the noodles to the noodles, it can make the noodles have a special fragrance, and it can make the noodles smooth, yellow and strong.

Due to the time limit of the competition, there is no sufficient wake-up time after the dough is reconciled. During this process, most players use additives to shorten the preparation time.

When Zhu Xiaojiao started to have a dating, everyone's eyes were soon attracted by her movements. Zhu Xiaojiao's movements were very large, kneading the dough with both hands. Her movements continued to be continuous and harmonious, and the dough kept changing shapes in her hands. Although her movements were not elegant, they gave people a feeling of so comfort and freedom.

Zhu Xiaojiao's dough process should be the longest of all. Look at Xiao who has used a rolling pin to roll the dough into a round dough, he is calm and orderly. Although the movements are not fast, every action is not redundant. Look at Xiao Jingliang's dough is extremely clean, and he does not make the flour fly like some contestants.

Xiao Jingliang sprinkled a handful of dry flour on the dough, continued rolling and pressing, and after repeated several times, he folded the dough and picked up the kitchen knife from the side.

Although Liu Xianyang's question is ordinary, it is a comprehensive examination of chefs' kneading, kneading, knife skills, and fireworks.

The kitchen knife in Xiao Jingliang's hand started, and the speed of the knife was still not fast, but the speed of the knife was controlled very steadily, and the rhythm of the knife was uniform. Under his knife, the dough turned into noodles. A deafening shouting suddenly came from the audience. A contestant No. 7 from western Jin performed a knife cutting noodles on the spot, holding a dough in his left hand and a curved knife in his right hand, and slicing the noodles into the boiling pot piece by piece. The blade cut with the knife was thick in the middle, thin in the edges, and clear in the edges, and similar to willow leaves. Regardless of the taste of the knife-cut noodles made by the contestant, his performance skills alone have successfully attracted the attention of the audience and judges.

Most audiences are not as professional as judges. Experts are good at watching the fun. For the audience, the fun is good. Seeing the scimitars in the hands of this No. 7 contestant flying in the hands of the cold light, they are slim on the dough, and the dough is flying into the pot like snowflakes. The visual effect is extremely outstanding, so the audience all started to applaud.

The applause and cheers naturally attracted the attention of many contestants on the scene. After all, there are only a few contestants who can really focus on the competition.

Man Zaiyuan doesn't like too fancy performances. In his opinion, the essence of cooking is still taste, not how beautiful the movements are in the process. He has always been paying attention to the performance of these contestants. There are only two people who can really be called "no distraction", one is Zhu Xiaojiao, the female apprentice he just accepted, and the other is Xiao Jingliang, No. 10.

Amid the deafening applause and cheers at the scene, Xiao Jingliang was still unmoved. He was still focused on cutting his noodles, with no change in rhythm and speed.

When Man Zaiyuan saw Xiao Jingliang's performance on the spot, he couldn't help but nodded with appreciation. This person is very strong. If you want to become a clever chef, you must first have a firm heart. Only by focusing on one thing can you do one thing well.

A sudden burst of tumbling came from the cheers! A muffled sound of the ground, and everyone's spirit was a little distracted by the sound of the tumbling. Looking at the source of the sound, Zhu Xiaojiao was still fiddling with her dough. The dough she had already been repaired into a spherical dough and hit the dough heavily. The flour flew, and the spherical dough also flattened due to this impact. After Zhu Xiaojiao repeatedly pounded, kneaded, stretched, and threw it, the dough finally achieved the effect she expected.

Zhu Xiaojiao grabbed the dough and rolled it back and forth into long strips. Then she held two pieces of the strip dough with two pieces. She lifted it up and beat it hard on the dough. After the strip dough was lengthened, folded the two pieces in half, and then continued to hold the two pieces and beat it repeatedly. The purpose of the beat was to adjust the arrangement order of the gluten protein in the dough, so that the originally messy protein molecules were arranged into a regular long chain. The cooking industry called this procedure a straight-gluten. Finally, it rolled into long strips and tied into strips of noodles with a thickness of two centimeters and a length of chopsticks.

Other people's noodles start to be put into the pot, and Zhu Xiaojiao started to ramen. Ramen is definitely a very technical job. Holding the ends of the rough noodles in your hand, and with both arms, and stretching them out evenly with force. Then fold the two ends in half, place both ends in the fingers of your left hand at the same time. The middle finger of your right hand is facing down to the other end, and turn the palm of your hand up to make the noodles form a noose shape. At the same time, stretch the noodles to both sides. After the noodles are lengthened, put one end of the right hand hooked on the left finger, and continue to hook the other stretch. The speed of stretching should be fast and the force should be even. Each folding is called a button. Choose the thickness of the ramen according to the taste of the customer. Today, Zhu Xiaojiao pulled out 9 buttons thin noodles.

Although Zhu Xiaojiao is fat, the skills and flexibility she showed during ramen made everyone forget her weight. Seeing a face turned into a thousand threads in her hands, as exquisite as acrobatics, all the audience was stunned and intoxicated.

With a muffled sound from the ground, Zhu Xiaojiao pulled out tense noodles between her hands, jumping and trembling in her hands, showing excellent texture and elasticity.

A gratified smile appeared on the corner of Manzaiyuan's lips. He could conclude that except for Xiao Jingliang, the other contestants at the scene did not have the ability to fight Zhu Xiaojiao at all!
Chapter completed!
