Chapter 71 [Pros and Cons of Knife Skills]
Shen Yingnan also paused for a moment. His eyes chased the falling potato chips, and his heart began to become hesitant and uneasy. His father once told him that Zhu Laoer's knife skills might not be comparable even when he was in his master. The boy in front of him had obviously obtained his true teachings. Su Le actually performed a heavy kitchen knife that was seven inches long and three inches high in his hands. He had to do it at high speed in the process of slicing. There should be no hesitation or pause in the middle, otherwise there would be uneven thickness. The seemingly simple slices require a chef's eyesight, wrist strength and calmness. Su Le was in full view of everyone. No matter how good his mentality was, he could not feel any pressure at all. However, he could withstand the pressure and complete this process well in this situation. The boy's psychological quality was not ordinary.
Even when Zhu Lao Er used the knife to slice the slice, he held his breath. Until Su Le cut the two potatoes, Zhu Lao Er put the teacup stuck in his hand on his lips, took a sip of tea, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips, and muttered in a low voice: "What awesome guy, what's the awesome thing? You'll cut it like this? If I cut it, your knife can be changed to three swords!" Zhu Lao Er was extremely proud in his heart. Not to mention anything else, Su Le's hands can be used. This alone is a rare genius. In just twenty days, he has basically mastered the trick of moon halo, and even when he was young, he might not be able to do it. When a disciple shows his face in front of others, he is naturally proud to be a master.
Song Xuan glanced at Xie Yun'an and found that Xie Yun'an was also staring at Su Le intently at this time. Song Xuan said, "Old Xie, according to you, what is the sword technique of both of them?"
Xie Yun'an said: "Su Le naturally wins in knife skills!"
Even Qi Cuiting, Ma Deliang and Jia Xuegong stood on Shen Yingnan's side in their hearts. At this time, they had to admit that Su Le's sword skills were obviously better-looking and more performative than Shen Yingnan's. No one expected that as soon as the second round began, Su Le swept away his previous low-key style, and used his hands to cut out the moon halo to attract the attention of everyone on the scene.
Jia Xuegong said: "What should I do if I cut the potato slices so thin? I really can't figure out how to grasp the heat later." The thinner the potato slices are, the more difficult it is to grasp the heat. Everyone understands this principle.
Song Xuan was very disliked Jia Xuegong and sneered: "If you could guess it thoroughly, you would have become a master long ago!"
Jia Xuegong's old face turned red. He thought he had reached the level of a master, but Song Xuan's words revealed disapproval of him. Jia Xuegong was also the chef of the East Star Hotel, a five-star hotel. In front of so many colleagues, he couldn't swallow his tone. He said coldly: "No matter whether he is a master or not, it is better than some people who don't know how to understand."
Song Xuan looked at Jia Xuegong and said, "You are saying I don't know how to understand?" His eyes suddenly became stern, and a fierce murderous aura spread out from all over him. Jia Xuegong, who was sitting next to him, felt an inexplicable chill from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but shivered, and forced a smile and said, "I didn't say..."
Song Xuan said coldly: "I don't dare to say it!"
Xie Yunan said, "Although he dared not say it, he dared not think about it in his heart. Maybe he had scolded all the eighteen generations of your ancestors in his heart."
Jia Xuegong was so shocked that he was sweating profusely. Who is Xie Yunan? He is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.
Song Xuan laughed: "Old Xie, do you really want to see me hit someone? The more you want to see, the less I feel satisfied with you."
Qi Cuiting was worried that there would be a conflict on the scene, so she hurriedly said: "Everyone should pay attention to watching the game."
Shen Yingnan added cooked lard into the wok, placed it on the high heat, burned it to 40% heat, and then put it in the shredded chicken. He controlled the heat very accurately and sprinkled for ten seconds. This step is very critical. If the time is too short, the ripening of the shredded chicken is not enough. If the time is a little longer, the moisture in the shredded chicken is excessively lost and its freshness is lost. Pour the shredded chicken into a colander to drain the oil, place the wok on the high heat, and add a small amount of cooked lard. This time the oil temperature should be controlled at 80% heat, add onion and ginger auxiliary ingredients.
At the same time, quickly put the pickled vegetables in the bamboo basket, put them in 80% hot water, and then pour them into the wok, add cooking wine, MSG, and salt, stir-fry for a few times, then put the chicken shredded chicken, stir-fry quickly evenly, and put them on the pan. Shen Yingnan's movements seem dull, but each action requires solid skills to decompose. Among them, the control of the heat is extremely critical. His father Shen Wantang is good at fireworks, so he naturally teaches his skills.
When Shen Yingnan was cooking, Su Le also oiled the thin potato chips. The oil he used was peanut oil, which was not long or short, and ten seconds. During this process, he had to rely on the clock to time, otherwise he could not accurately control the heat. The potato chips instantly fryed into golden colors and took them out to drain the oil. At the same time, Su Le picked up the bone-cutting knife and chopped a piece of tenderloin into diced meat. After the oil was over, sprinkled the diced meat evenly on the fried potato chips.
The audience at the scene realized that the fried pork with potato slices he made was not the well-known fried pork with potato slices. This dish is not worthy of its name. There is no stir-frying process at all, and it relies entirely on frying.
Two dishes were placed on the table, and a plate of fried raw chicken on the left was white, tender and crispy, looking like a plate of silver shredded pork. The plate of fried potato slices on the right was golden and yellow, looking like a plate of gold leaves, one gold and one silver look very beautiful.
All five judges stood up and observed the two dishes at close range. Judging from the color, aroma and shape, these two dishes had their own characteristics. Su Le should be slightly better in the knife skills, but Su Le’s biggest flaw is that it is not worthy of its name. Jia Xuegong immediately pointed out: "Su Le, since your dish is fried with potato slices, why isn’t it stir-frying this process?"
Su Le smiled and said, "That's what I want to give you a surprise. This dish is actually called Golden Leaf Meat." In fact, it's not called this name at all. This kid also had a sudden inspiration.
Song Xuan praised: "Golden leaf meat, such a rich name."
Ma Deliang said: "The appearance of these two dishes is quite good. A successful dish must first give people a visual impact, because before eating, the first thing that is to perceive this dish is visual." As the chairman of the Nanwu Catering Federation, he first said a fair word.
Song Xuan said: "What if he is a blind man?"
Ma Deliang smiled and said, "Fortunately there are no blind people among us."
Qi Cuiting said: "Mr. Xie, how do you see the knife skills of these two dishes?"
When Zhu Laoer heard that the first comment was about knife skills, he felt relieved. Su Le's performance today must be stronger than Shen Yingnan in terms of knife skills.
Xie Yunan first picked up a slice of potato chips with chopsticks and deliberately looked at the lights through the potato chips. After the potatoes were fried, the thickness increased. The starch in them was naturally not easy to talk about. Xie Yunan said: "You have good knife skills, but you still have no effect on cutting out the moon halo. It is very rare to have such knife skills at such age."
He picked up a chicken shredded chicken and a squeezing dish from Shen Yingnan's plate. The length, thickness and thickness of the shredded chicken shredded chicken and the squeezing dish were almost the same. If it weren't for the different texture, there was almost no big difference. Xie Yun'an said: "In terms of knife skills, Su Le's knife skills in cutting potato slices are close to the level of the moon halo, but cooking requires comprehensive ability, not a single part. Although the left-hand knife skills just now are wonderful, they are suspected of showing off. If a person shows off, he will distract himself and will do his best to show off his best side to the audience. When showing off, he will inevitably pay attention to the audience's reaction, his mood will inevitably be affected, and your spirit will also begin to be impetuous at this time."
Su Le secretly admired her. This old man was indeed amazing. He was able to think about his mental state from the scene of chopping vegetables at that time. It seems that today's judges are crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
