Reborn – Super Chef

Ye Chui's fourth game in Chinatown was quickly reported back to Huaxia through Li Xiuyun's special report. As expected, this report caused a great sensation. After all, almost all people in Huaxia who care about the food industry are now paying attention For this matter, Gourmet Weekly wrote on the cover of the magazine "Ye Chui singled out Chinatown in the fourth match to drink hate spicy red village." This immediately aroused the attention of countless people. , magazine sales also climbed to a new high.

However, there are also some people who have no intention of reading this article in detail after seeing this topic, and some people even habitually make sarcastic remarks and post comments on the Internet——

"What did I say!? Letting an 18-year-old boy represent our entire China in Chinatown will lose the face of our entire China. Let's lose now. I see how he will end up. There was a lot of trouble some time ago. Those well-known chefs in the country also followed suit. Now that things have happened like this, we are really ashamed of Huaxia. I suggest that the Food Association must severely punish Ye Chui. There are such talents in China that make the food culture continue to improve. went up."

The person who made this remark was actually a professor from a well-known university, whose online name is Professor Zhang. He also likes to post some commentary texts on weekdays, and has a lot of fans. However, when this comment was published, it was received instantly. Tens of thousands of negative comments——

"This old guy is making a fuss, please read the special report of Food Weekly before commenting, okay?"

"I also like Professor Zhang's articles on weekdays, but this time I have to say something. You were bought by someone to come to Heiyechui, right?"

"The title of Gourmet Weekly is too embarrassing. When I saw this title, I was shocked."

"Ye Chui's cooking this time was too satisfying, and even fooled an eight-star chef back..."

"What do you mean by fooling around? People use virtue to convince people, okay?"

"I won't pay attention to Professor Zhang's comments anymore. I think it's because of people with such remarks and ideas that Huaxia's food culture has never been able to improve!"

"Sarcasm is the most annoying person. After Ye Chui singled out Chinatown some time ago, I saw Professor Zhang like an article praising Ye Chui."

"Sure enough, this professor paid money to come to Hei Ye Chui, right?"

...

I'm afraid Professor Zhang would never have imagined that a little text he just sent with emotion would cause such a big reaction, and even a hot search word meeting refuting Professor Zhang would appear on the Internet in an instant. This is something that Professor Zhang could never have imagined Yes, so he avoided it very wisely, planning not to go online again for a short time...

In the private room of Manhan Building, there was a table of delicious food in the huge private room, but there was only one person eating - Mr. Han.

Tian Xiaodu walked into the box with a plate of hot pepper sausage and put it in front of Mr. Han. He saw that Mr. Han was holding chopsticks in one hand and browsing the news on a tablet computer in the other. There was a smile on someone's unhappy face, so Tian Xiaodu couldn't help but asked, "Mr. Han, you are also following Master's news, right?"

"This kid really didn't disappoint me. The highest-level chef in China is a seven-star chef, and now Ye Chui has invited an eight-star chef. This will greatly improve the domestic food culture." Han Lao said with a smile, "It was a great loss."

"After the one-on-one fight against Chinatown is completed, the eight-star chefs and one nine-star chef in Chinatown at that time will all belong to Huaxia chefs." Tian Xiaodu said with a smile.

"That's right, that's right." Han Lao nodded again and again, took a bite of Tian Xiaodu's hot pepper sausage, and nodded with satisfaction, "Your sausage is not bad, it's not much worse than your master."

Tian Xiaodu was overjoyed, Mr. Han had eaten his food for so long, this was the first time he praised him...

Then the fat man opened his chair and sat next to Mr. Han with a happy face, and said with a smile: "I have practiced this dish for a long time..."

"Who asked you to sit here?" As a result, Mr. Han's face changed as soon as he said it, "Don't you have to work? Why do you go there? There are so many guests waiting downstairs."

Tian Xiaodu: "..."

Standing up embarrassingly, Tian Xiaodu was not too hurt, anyway, Mr. Han has such a temperament, he grinned: "Then Mr. Han, take it easy, just say what you want to eat."

Saying so, he left the box.

Mr. Han continued to watch the news while eating the vegetables.

There was a lot of praise and admiration for Ye Chui on the Internet.

"This kid has almost gained the support of all Chinese people. This is the general trend. If Ye Chui wins over many chefs in Chinatown again, the rise of Chinese food culture will be just around the corner." Mr. Han said softly, and then laughed again, "I still have good eyesight at the beginning... Well, I will make a call with Yuyan later, I don't know if I can get it done after being alone with this kid Ye Chui for so long The other party didn't."

...

The time soon came to the day of the scheduled culinary competition with Lin Jiabao a week later.

As soon as Ye Chui got up early, he opened the window and saw that the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly. It was another fine weather. The weather had been fine for the past week, and Ye Chui felt better.

Of course, his better mood wasn’t just because of the weather—he put on his clothes and walked out of the room, and went directly to the yard behind the Chen’s Hotel: “After this week, those dried salted fish should have been dried too. Okay?"

Ye Chui needs to use dried salted fish in the dishes to be cooked.

However, Ye Chui, Han Yuyan, Chen Tian, ​​etc. searched all over Chinatown, and even searched in San Francisco, but they couldn't find any dried salted fish there. After searching the Internet, Ye Chui finally confirmed that there was no such food at all. to make.

In fact, the production of dried salted fish has existed since ancient times. It is a way of preserving food in the early stages of human beings. Fresh fish can be stored for a long time after being exposed to the sun and dehydrated to a certain extent, and it also has a unique flavor.

But because of the vegetarian movement, no one would bother to make dried salted fish anymore. Now that the meat ban has been lifted, although fish can be eaten again, the way of meat preservation no longer needs this ancient method. Naturally, no one will bother to make dried salted fish.

In the end, Ye Chui had no choice but to try to make it himself.

In fact, the method of making dried salted fish is very simple. The fresh fish is pickled, then exposed to the sun, and evaporated to dryness. It takes a week to make dried salted fish, which is more than enough time.

And today is the day when the challenge is officially started, and the dried salted fish that Ye Chui has dried is finally ready for use.

I saw a row of salted fish hanging under the clothesline in the yard. Each one was fresh in color and lustrous. When you touch it, you can feel that the meat is dense, firm and elastic, which is the quality of a good salted fish.

Collect a few dried salted fish and choose the best one. Tang Shanshan has already rushed over here. Of course, she will also follow today's challenge. Of course, she will come here early in the morning, Ye Chui reckoned She came here for breakfast...

"Boss, is the salted fish ready to dry?" Seeing Ye Chui packing up some dried salted fish, Tang Shanshan became interested and walked closer to look at it. "Isn't it best to use fresh fish for cooking? Why use it?" What about this kind of salted fish?"

"Dried salted fish has a unique taste, which cannot be compared with fresh fish. There is an eggplant stew with salted fish, which tastes the best." Ye Chui explained briefly, and he smiled at Tang Shanshan, "Since you are early today Come, then I will make a classic side dish with dried salted fish for breakfast."

"Really? That's great." Tang Shanshan immediately became happy. This girl actually has a bit of a snack personality.

Ye Chui smiled. As a chef, he naturally has a good impression of foodies... Speaking of which, wasn't he attracted by Lin Wei's snack food at the beginning?

Pan-fried salted fish is probably the most classic dish made with salted fish. This dish is delicious and is a Cantonese dish. The way of cooking salted fish with eggplant is also a Cantonese classic. Fish and eggplant stew, this is the dish that Ye Chui is going to make to compete with Lin's stew later.

By the time Han Yuyan finished his morning exercise and returned to Chen's Inn, Ye Chui had already prepared delicious pan-fried salted fish.

This dish is actually very simple. Soak the salted fish in clean water for 20 minutes, then fry them in a pot until both sides are yellowish, then add shredded ginger, shredded dried chili, and finally put in a proper amount of vinegar and a little light soy sauce. Sprinkle chopped green onion and it will be out of the pot. The method is simple, but it is delicious. It is even more refreshing and comfortable to eat with millet porridge, with endless aftertaste.

After finishing breakfast, Ye Chui took all the ingredients he had prepared, and together with Han Yuyan, Tang Shanshan, Chen Tian, ​​and Li Xiuyun, went to Lin's Pot, the fifth restaurant in Chinatown.

After arriving, Ye Chui saw that many people had already been waiting here, and among them, Ye Chui also saw Shen Zhongda and Jiang Yuemei.

These two are now Ye Chui's staunch supporters.

As for Mrs. Gao, Lin Li, Huang Yiyuan, and Peng Song, they also stood at the door to greet Ye Chui, and among them were a few strange white men.

Ye Chui noticed that each of them had a brooch in the shape of a knife and fork hanging on their chests.

"These people are all gourmets of the International Association." Chen Tian walked to Ye Chui and whispered, "The knife and fork brooch is the symbol of a gourmet."

These gourmets were naturally invited to be the judges of this culinary competition. However, seeing these people talking and laughing with Lin Li and the others, it seemed that they were very close. It would be strange to say that there were no ghosts between them.

But Ye Chui didn't show any unpleasant expression, he took Han Yuyan's hand and glanced at the watch on her wrist, um, Robert should be here soon...(~^~)
