Chapter Eighty-Five: One Against Four

The two of them went directly to the Peony Hall of the Chinese restaurant on the fourth floor, and as soon as the door of the private room was opened, the four people in the room immediately got up: "Luo Shao." ”

Luo Shao nodded, pulled a chair and sat down: "Call Tao Fangran over." ”

The attendant behind him took out a glass of water from his bag, put it in front of Luo Shao, and then went out, and came back after a while and said, "That's it." ”

Not long after, Tao Fangran, Lin Zi, and Bai Lu entered the house.

Luo Shao glanced at them and spoke softly: "If you want to end the gambling contract early, just bet on this time today?"

Tao Fangran looked at Bai Lu, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." ”

After more than four months of hard work, these four people in the house made her suffer a lot. Because of this, Tao Fangran was extremely worried, but unfortunately no matter how worried she was, no one could help her.

Now, the white road is the only hope. Since the hope is all on Bai Lu, it is better to have a short pass than to passively accept the challenge again and again, to ask Bai Lu for help, and to worry that this guy will not be able to come if something happens, it is better to let Bai Lu go directly to the battle and get it done at one time. So, she decided to fight once.

Hearing Tao Fangran's affirmative answer, Luo Shao smiled and said in a casual tone, "Let's start, how do you want to play?"

Tao Fangran took a step back and stood beside Bai Lu: "Introduction, this is the chef I invited......"

"It doesn't matter who you invite, just say how to play, I'm busy. ”

At this time, Bai Lu has been looking at Luo Shao, very thin and energetic, with a casual expression on his face, as if he doesn't care about anything, speaking of which, it is a little similar to Gao Yuan's temperament.

However, Luo Shao went out to take a follower, and Chai Laoqi of Open Ring Entertainment also had a follower, why didn't Gao Yuan bring one? Thinking so, I went to see Linzi, and Lin Zi didn't have a follower, and Duck, He Shanqing and others didn't have it.

Looking at it, Lin Zi poked him: "How to play?" ”

"Ahh "The pronunciation of this word is very strange, first raised and then suppressed, from the peak to the trough, there is a simple version of the vocalization exercise, indicating that he just remembered this matter.

walked to Luo Shao's side, pulled a chair out, and sat down: "There are four of you, let the four of them cook the best dishes, and then I will cook again, if there is a dish that can't compare to them, I will lose." ”

Luo Shao's eyes narrowed, at this moment, he was the only one sitting in the whole room, but this guy actually dared to stand up to him? tilted his head and looked at Bai Lu twice: "How do you know that they are cooks?"

This question was nonsense at all, and Bai Lu didn't answer.

Luo Shao's eyes narrowed again: "Your surname?" He suddenly became a little curious about this person.

Bai Lu bars lowered his mouth: "Is it better than that?"

Luo Shao was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a chuckle, and looked at the four middle-aged men standing opposite: "It's not too demanding, if one of you can win, it's done." ”

That's the beginning of the comparison. So they went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, several chefs were there, waiting for the eccentric guest to order. But I waited and waited, and after waiting for an hour, I didn't see the waiter place an order. Strangely, Tao Fangran came in with many people.

Lin Gao and a few people hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Tao." ”

Tao Fangran nodded: "Arrange two stoves." ”

Bai Lu said: "Arrange five directly, I'm not in the mood to wait for them." ”

Look at this guy crazy, the corners of Luo Shao's mouth tugged, and he pulled out a disdainful smile, he was really young and ignorant, and then he was fearless. The four men behind him are master chefs who have spent a lot of money from Hong Kong, Shanghai and other places, but unfortunately this kid has no eyes and doesn't know him at all.

There is a magazine called the Michelin Guide in the world, which has introduced many well-known hotels. It can be said that three Michelin stars is the highest honor for restaurants, and the selection conditions are very strict, and there are only about 40 Michelin three-star hotels in the world. Among them, the only Chinese restaurant on the list is in Hong Kong. And one of the four chefs invited by Luo Shao is from this restaurant.

The other three are also not simple, so to speak, these four people, any one of them is qualified to come to Zhongcheng Hotel as the head chef. It is precisely because they are so powerful that they can easily find fault with Zhongcheng Hotel.

And now, there is a young man in his twenties who arrogantly challenges four chefs, and you can imagine how ugly he will lose.

The four chefs did not underestimate the enemy, since they understood the rules, and since they started to compete, of course, they had to win, so the four of them reported the names of the dishes in turn, five-flavor dried shreds, abalone crisps, fried shredded potatoes, and fresh shrimp cups.

Hearing the name of the dish, Bai Lu smiled faintly: "Let's start." ”

For these four dishes, the five-flavor dried shreds are a little troublesome, and it is necessary to cut a small piece of dried tofu into cotton threads as thin, with 36 knives horizontally and 72 knives vertically, and then with the other four kinds of silk, which is a test of kung fu. There are three troubles with this dish, first, the shredded tofu is thin, and the shredded meat naturally can't be too thick. Second, the dishes have been circulated for too long, due to different seasons and regions, in addition to the shredded tofu, the other four kinds of shreds have their own sayings, some put shredded bamboo shoots, some put shredded carrots, as well as chili peppers, mustard or something. Third, not only the side dishes are not the same, but even the methods are not the same, there are dry fried, some are fried with soup, and some are even fried and then cold.

However, there are advantages to trouble, there is no fixed standard, and only taste can win. The chef who came to propose this dish must be a master of Huaiyang cuisine, and he is particularly sure of the taste of the dish.

It's a pity that, like Lin Gao yesterday, his opponent is Bai Lu, and no matter how big he is, he can only fail. Bai Lu didn't pay attention to it so much at all, and asked the mountain peak to prepare materials and boil water by himself. Then it is to cut all kinds of shreds, because it is the early autumn season, lettuce, chicken and other ingredients are randomly selected, and a plate of five-flavor dried shreds can be easily fried in ten minutes.

The second dish is abalone crisp, in comparison, this is not as troublesome as the five-flavor dried shreds, anyway, it is fried, one is to see whether the flour is wrapped thinly, and the other is to see the heat of the oil.

Bai Lu doesn't like to make fried food, because no matter what is over the oil, the taste changes immediately, and it is not fresh, and this alone is enough to discourage Bai Lu.

However, since there are people who want to compare, it is better to compare. First cut the abalone cubes, add the ingredients, add the abalone juice, mix into the filling, and then add some seasonings randomly, shape, knead into an abalone shape, and put it in the oil pan.

Bai Lu just lightly passed the oil, the color changed slightly, handed it to Shanfeng to put on a plate, and he made shredded potatoes.

In martial arts books, it is always said that the simplest moves are the most powerful, and the same is true for cooking, and the simplest dishes are the most difficult to make, which tests the basic skills of the chef in all aspects.

When the shredded potatoes are cut very finely, you can eat them when you turn them over twice in the pot, and the fried shredded potatoes are compared to the knife work and mastering the heat.

Bai Luting admired the chef who proposed this dish, and only if he was extremely confident in his cooking skills would he make this proposal.

However, it's still the same sentence, it's a pity that his opponent is Bai Lu, for cooking, this guy is simply an existence against the sky, take a potato and cut it twice, cross the water, and then start a fire, add oil, shredded potatoes, salt, stir-fry twice, and get out of the pot.

The last dish is the shrimp cup, listen to the name to know the Tao, you have to have a container for shrimp. As for what this container is, it varies. There are also different ways to do it.

Mushrooms, mangoes, dragon fruits, you can dig a small pit to put fresh shrimp. This shrimp must be large and must be fresh. When the dish is ready, it has the umami of seafood and the fruity aroma of fruit, and the two flavors are perfectly blended together, which is very delicious.

Actually, Bai Lu thinks that only the two words delicious are true, because it is really delicious, and the rest is ...... In diplomatic terms, well, it's fine.

He thinks that seafood should not be done like this, seafood, what you eat is fresh, you either boil or fry, peel it, add a bunch of ingredients like ham or something, and then pour the sauce. If you do this, not to mention eating a large shrimp, even a bark, you will also eat it very deliciously.

However, if you don't like it, you don't like it, and you still have to do what you have to do. Bai Lu sparsely rumbled, the task was completed, let Shanfeng serve four dishes, and he went to the side to play games with his new mobile phone.

The four dishes he made were very ordinary, and he didn't show any special skills, just slightly better than yesterday's performance. The reason is that he always has to earn some face for Lin Zi and Tao Fangran.

A large stainless steel desk, polished and shiny, is eight dishes on it, corresponding to two by two, lined up in four columns.

Except for the two fried shredded potatoes, which look very similar, the others are not quite the same. The abalone puff pastry is not the same size. The color of the five-flavor dried shreds is different because of the different side dishes. Shrimp cups, different containers, different methods, the only thing that is the same is many shrimp meat that has been stripped off most of the shell and curled up in a ball.

The chef of the hotel watched from a distance, and Luo Shao and the others stood up close. Tao Fangran asked people to bring chopsticks and spoons and distribute them to Luo Shao and the four chefs, himself and Lin Zi. When giving Bailu chopsticks, the guy didn't want it, just shook his head, didn't even raise his head, and concentrated on playing the game.

This guy is crazy!

Luo Shao was angry in his heart, glanced at Bai Lu coldly, and then looked at the four chefs.

The four chefs first commented on the color and fragrance, in short, after a bunch of nonsense, they said that everyone was half a catty and eight taels, and no one was much worse than the other.

Bai Lu, who was playing the game, lowered his head and sent a sentence: "Dishes are for eating." "Meaning stop talking nonsense.

Luo Shao snorted coldly, took the chopsticks and began to taste.

He first ate the dishes made by the four chefs, and when he tasted them, his eyebrows fluttered, not bad, really good! Worthy of the money he spent.

After eating, he smiled and said to Tao Fangran, "Please." ”

Tao Fangran was a little apprehensive in his heart, this is normal, no matter who it is, he will be nervous in the face of such a big thing. So instead of chopsticks, take a small spoon and scoop it little by little.

Eat the shredded potatoes made by Bailu first, as soon as you eat it, your eyes will light up, just with this taste, if you can still lose...... That's impossible.

After swallowing, he didn't taste the other party's food, and said to Luo Shao: "Try this." ”

Luo Shao glanced at it curiously, and he was so confident after taking a bite of the dish? Gently picked up the shredded potatoes and put them in his mouth, and after a while, his face became ugly.

After swallowing the shredded potatoes, Luo Shao didn't say a word, and continued to eat the other three dishes, after a quick tasting, Luo Shao couldn't believe it, this is made by people? How can it be so delicious!
