65 Palace Babao Chicken
After the host has finished his introduction.
The judges entered the judges’ seat, and sitting in the middle was judge No. 5 ‘Chef Fu’.
The host said:
"Now that the judges have taken their seats, the competition will begin immediately. Chefs, you only have one chicken in your hands. If you make any mistakes while cooking, the selection of ingredients will not be conducted."
People in the audience were talking:
"This competition is very strict. Everyone only has one chance. If you make a mistake, you will be considered a failure. As expected, the first prize of 50,000 yuan is not easy to win."
"Of course, with the first prize of 50,000 yuan and other honors, the competition will naturally be more stringent."
"The chefs above are all experienced in the kitchen. They basically won't make small mistakes like mistakes."
"·······"
The host continued:
"It is now 8:30 sharp and it will end before 12 noon. Chefs, please start your competition."
Just after the host announced the start of the game.
The cheers on the field were shouting:
"Li Yan, come on."
"Li Yan, you are the best."
"Li Yan, you must be number one."
"·······"
As soon as the game started, Li Yan's fans began to cheer crazily, and the cheers resounded throughout the competition venue. Compared with Li Yan's fans, other players also had fans, but their voices were basically muffled.
Another part shouted:
"Come on, Xiaopingyixiang."
Li Huimei and Village Chief He Feng were not far behind. They shouted hard:
"Come on Yunxi."
Unfortunately, their voices were too weak.
As soon as the voice was shouted, it was covered by the voices of other people and could not be heard at all. After shouting a few times, both of their throats were dry and they could not shout.
The voices of two people are simply not comparable to the voices of thousands of people.
In an instant, the auditoriums on the east and west sides were in chaos, with various voices joining together.
The chefs on the field also started cooking.
Li Yan was the first to take action. He took the kitchen knife into his hand and turned the knife quickly a few times, as if he was testing the suitability of the knife.
After the experiment, Li Yan began to process the materials.
I saw a small kitchen knife spinning constantly in Li Yan's hand. Ordinary people could only see the shadow of the kitchen knife. Within a few minutes, Li Yan had processed the auxiliary materials.
The audience in the auditorium looked stunned.
"Damn it, I didn't expect the kitchen knife skills in the movie to be seen in reality. I always thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Look at those unshelled chestnuts. Li Yan just threw them up. When they fell, the shells and pulp actually separated."
"Li Yan is really awesome. This is the strength of a famous chef. It is really terrifying."
"········"
At this time, Judge No. 1 on the judges’ bench also spoke:
"Look, Li Yan's knife skills are amazing. Other chefs are no match for him. In terms of knife skills, Li Yan can be said to be the best."
Judge No. 3 said:
"I can probably tell what Li Yan is going to cook. It should be that almost lost dish."
Judge No. 3 is a descendant of the imperial chef and is very familiar with Chinese food.
At this time, Judge No. 5 said:
"Look at the technique, it's the 'Palace Eight Treasure Chicken' that is almost lost.
In the audience, people watched Li Yan perform and applauded and cheered.
They all support Li Yan.
Li Yan deserves to be a top chef. Even without his father's light shining on him, he still shines brightly.
The dishes they cook are all so unique, and the execution is the pinnacle.
To other chefs, what the judges said is simply "killing people and killing people." Although they are somewhat famous, the dishes they cook are all ordinary dishes, which cannot be compared with someone like Li Yan whose ancestors were palace chefs.
Li Yan took out the dishes from the palace chef and compared them with them. For them, it was no less than a dimensionality reduction blow.
For other contestants, it is not that easy to defeat him physically, but the crushing words will cause the chef's mental state to be poor. Words are sometimes a powerful weapon.
What Li Yan cooks is imperial cuisine. There is no way to compare the levels of such dishes.
At this time in the competition, the chef with a bad mentality has been affected by these words and his initial fighting spirit has been affected.
Even Yun Xi was a little shocked.
Because Yunxi's system has been popularized to her, she must reach an advanced level before she can cook this kind of dish. Because this dish is made in other ways and involves many special methods of processing ingredients, it is not something she can make now.
Even if you have a lot of points now, you can't exchange them for such high-end recipes.
Yunxi has now marinated the chicken with salt.
Yun Xi took out his kitchen knife from his schoolbag and first chopped off the useless chicken feet.
At the moment when the kitchen knife was taken out, Judge No. 2 said:
"Chef No. 10's kitchen knife, this is really a good knife."
Judge No. 2 is a Western chef who cooks a lot of molecular cuisine, and he pays special attention to knives.
He has almost all kinds of knives.
Only Yunxi's knife was something he had never seen before.
This knife looks extremely sharp, but the sword's energy is not that of a cold light, but a good knife that has accumulated over time.
Careful cooking and a good knife make you a good chef.
At this time, everyone's attention was attracted by Yunxi's knife again.
When Village Chief He Feng heard that Yun Xi was praised by the judges, he also shouted:
"Yunxi, come on."
Yun Xi didn't know whether he should be happy or not. From morning to now, the only praise he received was the glory of a knife.
Um, this seems to be a bit eccentric. Isn't this a cooking competition? Why are you studying knives?
Yunxi cut off the chicken feet and let the chicken begin to marinate. Yunxi then adjusted the crispy water.
Judge No. 3’s words brought everyone’s attention back to Li Yan’s hand.
Judge No. 3 said excitedly:
"Chef No. 1's knife skills are really good. He has already started deboning and skinning the chicken."
At this time, Li Yan slowly started from the chicken neck.
Take out the skeleton from the chicken neck. When the chicken head is reached, disassemble the connection between the chicken head and the chicken neck.
Just like taking off gloves, take out the chicken neck frame.
Also make sure the chicken head and chicken skin are connected together.
The same goes for the chicken skin that is about to be removed. The chicken skin is the chicken's glove. Except for the small opening at the neck, the rest of the chicken skin must be taken off like gloves. The whole chicken must be taken off.
When Li Yan was taking the chicken, Judge No. 5 stared at Li Yan without moving and said:
"The skin of the whole chicken must be taken out very carefully, and there must be no tears. Not only must the whole skin of the chicken be taken off completely, but the entire skeleton of the chicken, including the internal organs in the chicken's belly, must also be taken out completely, without any damage.
Maintain the integrity of the chicken inside and out.”
"As far as I know, there are not many people who can do this."
Judge No. 5 is also a chef with 30 years of experience. He doesn’t know how to cook the ‘Palace Babao Chicken’, which is a typically difficult dish to make.
Judge No. 3 watched Li Yan handling the chicken skin, and it was magical to him to see Li Yan's method of handling the chicken.
Judge No. 3 is also a descendant of the imperial chef. He can also make this dish, but he can't handle the details as perfectly as Li Yan.
At this time, the onlookers saw that Li Yan was skillfully peeling the chicken, and the handling movements were smooth and elegant. All the movements were just right. Someone said:
"Chef Li Yan demonstrated the 'Golden Lion Fish' a few days ago, which made me think that Li Yan was already very powerful. I didn't expect that today's dish actually showed even more powerful skills. It was really exciting."
"Yes, yes, this is the first time I have seen such an amazing chef."
"In ancient times, great chefs like Li Yan were serving the emperor, but we, the people, could not see that."
"Today I opened my eyes to the fact that there is such a great thing about cooking."
"········"
As soon as these words came out, the other four judges on the stage could not sit still.
Golden lionfish is a dish that tests your knife skills. Unexpectedly, Li Yan showed two such difficult dishes in succession.
The five judges all stood up and watched Li Yan remove the bones and skin from the chicken.
Chapter completed!
