Dare to cook

Chapter 4 Crystal Shrimp
As soon as Yao Yu said this, the whole back kitchen fell silent.

Among chefs, after all, it depends on cooking skills.

If the cooking skills are not good, and the skills are not as good as people, then no matter what you say is bullshit.

Yao Yu could feel that Lin Shuping was unhappy with him, but he didn't need to argue with Lin Shuping.

Just one sentence: Just do it if you don't accept it, and see the truth under your hands!

Tang Ying didn't expect Yao Yu to have such a stubborn personality, and she planned to "educate" Lin Shuping with cooking skills from the very beginning.

But after being surprised, Tang Ying also showed a look of expectation.

Ever since she took over Renhe Hall, Lin Shuping had taken advantage of her seniority and found a new employer, and did not pay attention to her as the boss at all.

If Yao Yu could teach Lin Shuping a lesson now, it would be considered a relief for her.

Lin Shuping was also stunned.

Only then did he realize that the person standing in front of him was Yao Yu, the Yu madman who had beaten all the invincible opponents of the younger generation!

Such a person, even if his sense of taste is abnormal, he is definitely not an opponent.

Do not……

What if you win?
Didn't he become famous all at once?

Yao Yu hasn't shown up in public for three consecutive years, maybe his cooking skills have already deteriorated to a mess.

Otherwise, relying on Tang Ying, could Yao Yu be invited here?

If Yao Yu was still the crazy Yu three years ago, even if Tang Ying offered a sky-high annual salary of 500 million, she might not be able to hire him!
The more Lin commented, the more he thought it made sense.

Anyway, he is just a chef who can't even make the list of famous chefs in Shanghai. It doesn't matter even if he loses to Yao Yu in the competition.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuping's eyes lit up: "Do you really want to compare with me?"

"Just say whether you dare or not." Yao Yu said calmly.

He was very familiar with Lin Shuping's changes in his eyes.

Before the sense of taste became abnormal, too many young chefs were delusional about stepping on Yao Yu's name.

The mentality of those people is the same as that of Lin Shuping at this time.

However, they were all defeated by Yao Yu without exception, and some of them were even beaten to the point of doubting their lives.

Lin Shuping was eager to compete quickly, but he said: "There is still half an hour before the peak meal time. I can compare, but the kitchen is still busy."

Yao Yu turned to look at Tang Ying: "Mr. Tang, what do you mean?"

Tang Ying also hoped that Yao Yu could show his skills quickly.

She thought about it and said:

"It doesn't matter, the guests at noon can be handed over to other people. How about this, each of you will make [-] dishes, and I will give them to the guests to taste and ask them to vote. Whoever gets the most votes in the end will be the winner."

"can."

"I have no opinion."

Both Yao Yu and Lin Shuping had no objection.

"So what dish to try?"

Lin Shuping said without hesitation: "How about compared to crystal shrimp?"

Crystal Shrimp is the best dish sold in Renhe Pavilion, and it is also the dish that Lin Shuping is best at.

When it comes to making crystal shrimps, he has his own secret recipe.

Yao Yu didn't care about the competition at all, nodded and said, "Okay."

……

After confirming the competition, Yao Yu and Lin Shuping prepared separately.

Half an hour later, customers began to order food at the store.

The back kitchen began to cook according to the order.

And Yao Yu and Lin Shuping also took their positions, and started a culinary showdown.

There are many ways to make crystal shrimp, but it is not complicated.

Since Yao Yu and Lin Shuping were having a personal culinary duel, the back kitchen could not help them with the preparatory work.

In other words, from the selection of ingredients to peeling the shrimp shells, to cleaning, marinating, frying, seasoning, etc., these things must be done by the opponents themselves.

Tang Ying quickly asked someone to bring a basket of live shrimp.

Yao Yu and Lin Shuping will each select a hundred of them to cook.

The servings of the dishes used for competition tasting do not have to be as large as the servings normally sold.

Choosing ingredients is the first step in cooking.

Whether the ingredients are well selected will directly affect the taste of the final dish.

Of course, Yao Yu's vision in choosing ingredients is not bad.

But looking at the densely packed shrimps in the basket, he didn't bother to look at them, so he directly used the system skill [Clearness].

Knowing the details, he can directly help Yao Yu choose the most suitable ingredients.

In the state of being aware of the details, every shrimp is marked with a score.

Among them, the system with a score higher than 9.5 will be marked in green, and the system with a score below 9.5 to 7.0 will be distinguished by gradient colors such as light green, light green, bright yellow, and orange.

If the score is lower than 7.0, the system will mark it in big red, and it is strongly recommended not to choose it.

With the help of the system, Yao Yu was able to catch shrimp like flying, and it took only one minute to pick out one hundred of the best quality.

Then, the river prawns are cleaned, their heads are cut off, their shells are peeled off, and their threads are removed.

Peeling shrimp is a very troublesome and meticulous job.

However, in Yao Yu's hands, this job is easier than drinking water.

With the addition of super high cooking skills, Yao Yu's ten fingers are fast and agile, and he can handle a shrimp in an average of five seconds, so fast that others can't see clearly.

After Yao Yu peeled all the shrimps with lightning speed, all the kitchen staff were so shocked that their jaws were dislocated.

"It's too fast!"

"One hundred shrimp, it would take at least 15 minutes for me to peel..."

"Yao Yu peeled it so cleanly and completely, not a single prawn was damaged."

"Damn, this is the hand speed of being single for so many years!"

A group of cooks beeped softly, talking endlessly.

Opposite Yao Yu, Lin Shuping had only peeled twenty scarves, and his technique was jerky.

A chef who can cook shrimp doesn't necessarily know how to peel shrimp.

Especially Lin Shuping, who has been a chef for many years, has long been used to leaving chores to his subordinates.

So now suddenly asking him to do these chores, Lin Shuping is really not used to it.

Yao Yu glanced at Lin Shuping, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up: "Don't worry, peeling shrimp is like embroidery, it's a delicate job. You can take your time."

When Lin Shuping heard this, his mentality exploded, and he directly crushed a shrimp.

"Puchi..." Tang Ying couldn't help laughing, and thought to herself: Yao Yu really will tease his opponent in the duel, as rumored.

After peeling the prawns, Yao Yu poured half a jin of Taibai powder on the prawns.

Mix cornstarch and shrimp well, then pour into a strainer to rinse.After the cornstarch is rinsed off, the mucus on the shrimp will be removed.

After washing the shrimp, drain the water, and then put it in the refrigerator for a period of time at low temperature.

The protease of freshly peeled shrimp has not yet begun to break down.

If you cook the shrimp right away, the shrimp will clump together in the pan.It not only affects the taste, but also seriously damages the appearance.

During the period when the shrimps were refrigerated, Yao Yu began to make broth with pork bones, pork skin, aniseed ingredients, green onion, ginger, and peppercorns.

After the broth is boiled, the shrimps are almost refrigerated.

At this time, take out the shrimps, add baking soda, egg white, and salt, marinate to remove the fishy smell, then add dry starch and stir well.

After the shrimps are marinated for 10 minutes, put oil in the pan.

Heat the oil until it is half-ripe, then pour in the shrimps, deep-fry the shrimps until they are half-ripe, then remove from the oil immediately.

Then adjust the broth, salt, and starch into a thick soup.Then pour the shrimps into the pot, add the thick soup and start to stir-fry.

After smooth frying, add a small amount of sesame oil and a little bit of rice vinegar, then remove from the wok and serve.

A single serving of Crystal Shrimp is not much.

Yao Yu's [-] servings of crystal shrimp were fried in four pots.

[Ding, complete 20 servings of Crystal Shrimp, get a cooking skill value of 49.58]

After Yao Yu put all the twenty servings of shrimp on the plate, the system also sent out a message.

At this time, Lin Shuping had just started to stir up the second pot.

From the perspective of cooking efficiency alone, Yao Yu has left Lin Shuping by a large margin.

It took another 10 minutes before Lin Shuping finished all the dishes.

Tang Ying looked at the time and said, "Serve, send these shrimps out for the guests to taste."

When Yao Yu and Lin Shuping were competing, Tang Ying asked Liu Yiran, the front office manager, to communicate with the guests.

Those diners were very happy to hear that they could taste free food and rate the chef.

And more unlucky diners who were not selected chose to watch after expressing regret.

Among the crowd, there were even a few girls who came to eat and started the live broadcast, intending to upload the upcoming food reviews online.
