Dare to cook

Chapter 174 Wu Zhongliu's Suppression
Time passed by minute by minute.

In the main arena, each group tensed up and raced against time to prepare dishes.

As the strongest person in the group, Wu Zhongliu became the leader of the group without hesitation.

Mustard pies have been handed over to Jon Jones to make.

Wu Zhongliu entrusted Tang Pengjun with the task of frying and crunching, and took over the job of making pork jelly himself.

As for the colorful peanuts, which have the least technical content, they were left to Chen Li.

Originally, Chen Li, who was excitedly wanting to fry and creak, looked slightly dark.Wu Zhongliu made him look down on him so much, which made Chen Li a little upset.

But at this moment, the most urgent task is to get out of the rematch, and he didn't bother with Wu Zhongliu, so he turned around and began to prepare the dishes.

The ingredients for colorful peanuts are very simple.

Soak the peanuts in a small amount of vinegar and warm water for 10 minutes.

Normal brewing time should be about one hour.

But now it's game time, so keep it simple.

In order to soften the peanuts as soon as possible, Chen Licai replaced the cold water soaking the peanuts with warm water.

Then, chop some diced lettuce and carrots for later use.

Put water in the pot, add star anise, fennel and other spices to boil, then put the soaked peanuts in, cook on low heat for more than ten minutes, then pour it into an insulated container and continue to suffocate.

Set up another pot, continue to boil the water, and blanch the diced lettuce and carrot pudding.

Take a small bowl, pour light soy sauce, salt, pepper, garlic, a small amount of sugar and stir well.You can also put a little chili sauce or chilled chili oil.

After the sauce is adjusted, take out the peanuts and pour them together with the diced lettuce and carrots.

Then pour the prepared sauce on top, stir evenly, and the multicolored peanuts are ready.

Although, only three main ingredients are used...

After Chen Li made the colorful peanuts, Jon Jones also made the mustard mound.

Ready-to-eat mustard pies are easy to make.

Wash the Chinese cabbage, tear off the outer two layers, and cut off the upper half of the cabbage.

Cut the remaining cabbage gangzi into 2cm long cabbage piers.

Then put the cabbage mounds into hot water and blanch them, but don't blanch them too soft.

The blanched cabbage pier is dried in water and set aside.

Then, pour the mustard into a bowl, brew it with boiling water, add salt, sugar, vinegar, and sesame oil to make a mustard paste with a relatively high concentration.

After the mustard paste is adjusted, put it in the oven and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Then, take out the roasted mustard paste and spread it on the cabbage pier.

When Chen Li and Qiao Qiaoen were both finished, Tang Pengjun was almost done.

Fried crunch is a traditional snack in Beijing, which is actually fried vegetable cake.

The specific method is to mix flour with a certain proportion of mung bean noodles (soybean noodles are also OK), eggs, water, and salt to make a batter.

Then pour the batter into the frying pan and spread it into a thinner pancake crust like spreading eggs.

Note, don’t use up all the batter, and leave some raw batter, which will be used later.

Next, chop the pork stuffing, add salt, light soy sauce, and pepper to taste, and cut carrots and potatoes into thin shreds (you can also add shredded pumpkin if you have old pumpkin).

After the fillings are also prepared, you can wrap the ingredients into the pancake skin, and then seal it tightly with raw batter.

After wrapping all the dough, you need to change the knife slightly to cut the dough into strips.

Don't cut it too small, otherwise it will fall apart after frying.

This kind of cut long strips of dough is called "Kie Zhi" in the dialect of Beijing.

The oil temperature for frying should not be too high.

Slowly fry over medium heat, after frying and let it cool, then cut it into small diamond-shaped pieces with a knife.

The workload of deep-fried crunch is greater than that of other cold dishes.Tang Pengjun couldn't finish it for a while.

At this time, Wu Zhongliu had already cooked the pork skin.

After seasoning the boiled pork skin, let it cool, then put it in the refrigerator and keep it at low temperature for a period of time. When it comes out, cut it with a knife, dip it in the sauce and eat it.

Wu Zhongliu is very confident in the dishes he makes.

He also believed that Tang Pengjun would not hold back.

But Wu Zhongliu wasn't sure how well Jon Jones and Chen Li's dishes were cooking.

So, after seeing that the two had finished their work, he tasted the dishes they made first.

The wasabi pie is spicy without being offensive, and the wasabi paste is just the right thickness.Wu Zhongliu nodded after savoring it carefully, expressing his approval.

Afterwards, he tasted the colorful peanuts made by Chen Li.

After taking two bites, Wu Zhongliu pondered for two seconds and frowned.

He estimated the remaining time, and suddenly dumped all the peanuts that Chen Li had made into the trash can, and said, "You put too much vinegar in the peanuts. It's uneatable."

"Now I'll do it again while you watch from the side!"

Seeing Wu Zhongliu dumping his vegetables into the trash can without warning, Chen Li's face changed drastically when he heard these words.

As a chef on the Jade Food List, the food he cooked was actually thrown into the trash can.

This is simply a great shame.

It is also a kind of merciless suppression and contempt.

Chen Li couldn't figure out why Wu Zhongliu targeted him like this.

He understood that there was a big gap between his cooking skills and Wu Zhongliu's, but Chen Li also knew very well that there was not much problem with the colorful peanuts he made.

Even if it is on the judging table, it will not lower the team's average score.

"What does Wu Zhongliu want to do, is he deliberately looking for trouble!" In the audience, Yao Yu's face turned cold.

When Chen Li was cooking, Yao Yu directly turned on [Dongruo Candlelight] to follow the whole process.

When Chen Li was done, Yao Yu also used [Clearly Chasing Autumn Hair] to estimate the plate of colorful peanuts.

So he knew very well that there was nothing wrong with Chen Li's dishes.

Moreover.

Even if there were flaws, Wu Zhongliu shouldn't have dumped Chen Li's dishes in public.

This was slapping Chen Li in the face in front of nearly [-] viewers and countless viewers in the live broadcast room!

It was also indirectly slapping the heirs of the Yao family in the face!

In this kind of public occasion, even if the judges don't like the dishes made by the contestants, they will save some face for the contestants.

But what is Wu Zhongliu doing?
He was obviously forming a team with Chen Li, but he was doing this kind of thing to suppress his teammates.

On the field, when Wu Zhongliu was making the second batch of colorful peanuts, he suddenly glanced at Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu who was sitting beside him intentionally or unintentionally.

That look was so calm that it was cold and ruthless.

Yao Yu met Wu Zhongliu's eyes and immediately understood.

"He deliberately suppressed Chen Li, but he was targeting me!" Yao Yu suddenly sneered softly.

"Why? Did you offend him?" Shen Qiuming was puzzled, unable to react for a moment.

Zhu Xingchen understood, looked at Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu, and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

Yao Yu smiled and said, "It's just right, I haven't fought Wu Zhongliu yet, so I'll fight him tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow? Are you going to launch a series of duels?" Zhu Xingchen and Shen Qiuming asked in surprise.

In a series of duels, the final boss is the chef on the Kirin List.

For young chefs, Chef Qilinbang is unrivaled.

Therefore, the players in the previous famous competitions will not do useless work and will give up the challenge in the "serial duel" stage in order to preserve their strength for subsequent competitions.

Yao Yu nodded and said:

"That's right. I've already made up my mind. From No. 12 on the Jade Food List to No. [-] on the Jade Food List, I plan to beat everyone except Shen Qiuming."
