Dare to cook

Chapter 83
January 4, Tuesday, sunny.

For many, it's just a normal day.

And for Yao Yu... this is just an ordinary match day.

Although, today's opponent is a little bit special.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Yao Yu and Yang Rui successively came to the competition center of the famous contest.

Chen Li, who came with them, specially asked for half a day off to watch the excitement.

Yao Yu and Yang Rui are good buddies.

Apart from not being gay, not wearing the same pair of trousers, and not covering the same quilt, the two of them are already very familiar with each other.

But among them, they seldom discuss cooking skills.

Because they both knew each other well, Yang Rui knew very well that there would only be one end for him to compete with Yao Yu.

——That means being hung up and beaten!

The kind that was hit to the point of crying, tears streaming down his face, and his heart breaking down.

Therefore, for the sake of his own physical and mental health, when Yang Rui and Yao Yu got together, they only stole from each other and did not learn from each other.

But today, Yang Rui didn't want to compete with Yao Yu.

Unless he is willing to abandon the game on the spot and lose without a fight.

"Yang Rui, the game is about to start. How are you feeling now?" Chen Li asked at the entrance of the arena, watching the excitement.

Yang Rui rolled his eyes:
"Who wins the game is yet to be known. It's best not to let me draw a turbot in this match, or I'll hang Yao Yu up and beat him!"

As soon as the words fell, Yao Yu just walked in with a kitchen bag on his back:

"Are you so ambitious? Then I will leave the kitchen cleaning work for the next week to you!"

Yang Rui's face froze: "Damn barbarian, you are avenging yourself!"

Yao Yu laughed and said, "You'd better wait until I win to say that!"

Soon, the game will begin.

Today's Shanghai Division semi-finals attracted a lot of spectators.

Although today is not a holiday, the venues that can accommodate thousands of spectators are already full.

This is a rare thing for a cooking competition.

Because cooking duels are not comparable to sports competitions, they are not very entertaining in themselves.

Since the competition has entered the semi-finals, today's judge lineup is much more luxurious than before.

After Yao Yu and Yang Rui came to the stage, they were surprised to find that Lu Tao and Liu Zi were present in today's judging panel.

Mom!
It was only the semi-finals of a regional competition, and Lu Tao, who was ranked seventh in the Unicorn Ranking, was invited here.

One current Qilin List chef, plus a retired Qilin List chef.

The remaining one of the judges is not small, his name is Wang Yuanbo, he is the president of the Shencheng Kitchen Association and also serves as the director of the Huaxia Kitchen Association.

Such a jury composed of three heavyweights must have stricter scoring standards than other judges.

Now, it's not easy to be fooled...

Yao Yu and Yang Rui thought to themselves at the same time, and looked at each other tacitly.

When the referee sees the players in position, he announces the start of the game.

The big screen flashed quickly, and then the topic of the game was drawn out: Bullfrogs eat three times.

The bullfrog eats three times, requiring contestants to cook three bullfrog dishes in three cooking methods: frying, boiling, and steaming within the specified time.

At first glance, this problem is very simple.

However, there is a rule added to the competition title - no salt!
"Wow, what a mess! How can you season without salt?"

"Yao Manzi is miserable now, a clever woman can't cook without salt!"

"You guys are thinking too much. The rules of the competition only say that you can't use salt, but they don't say that you can't use soy sauce and hot sauce."

"Moreover, the ingredients provided by the organizer this time also include salted fish and ham. Yao Manzi can use those salty ingredients to season."

After the competition topic was announced, the audience and netizens in the live broadcast room talked a lot.

As professional chefs, Yao Yu and Yang Rui quickly grasped the rules of the competition.

then.

The two acted almost at the same time, flying towards the food shelf to grab the food.

Yang Rui struck faster than Yao Yu.

He grabbed the ham and the only two salted fish in one hand.

"Ahahaha! Manzi, you're doomed this time! No salted fish and ham, let me see how you season it!"

After Yang Rui grabbed the salted fish and ham, he laughed wildly.

Yao Yu glanced at his lips, and said in a caring tone:
"Are you stupid? Didn't you see that there are pickles and pickled peppers here?"

After saying that, Yao Yu picked up the pickles and pickled peppers, turned and left under Yang Rui's petrified gaze.

"2333... I laughed so hard!"

"This buddy's expression is really exciting, do you have any screenshots of the old man?"

"It's so interesting, grabbing ingredients in front of the judges. It's rare to see a contestant as cheap as Yao Manzi!"

"Don't you know the one in front? This guy is called Yang Rui. He was Yao Yu's right-hand man before he retired."

"It turns out that he was with Yao Manzi! Then isn't this a civil war between Yao Yu's team?"

In the live broadcast room, the water friends who saw this scene burst into laughter.

All kinds of bullet screens flashed quickly, and the joy was blowing.

In the arena, Yao Yu, who had chosen the ingredients, returned to his seat and prepared to cook.

He has already selected three dishes for today, namely Steamed Bullfrog in Stone Pot with Pickled Pepper, Stewed Bullfrog with Spicy Chestnut, and Fried Frog with Garlic.

With pickled peppers in hand, and some steamed meat powder when steaming bullfrogs, it can basically have enough salty taste.

As for the stewed bullfrog with spicy chestnut and fried frog with garlic, it is more troublesome.

Pickles are basically useless.

However, Yao Yu can soak pickles in hot water to force all the saltiness in the pickles into the water, and then use the water in which the pickles were soaked to taste.

Spicy chestnut stewed bullfrog is a variant dish based on the spicy bullfrog pot, and the taste is close to Sichuan cuisine.

On the opposite side, Yang Rui chose to cook boiled bullfrog, stir-fried bullfrog with thousands of sheets, and steamed bullfrog with chopped pepper.

Boiled bullfrogs and stewed bullfrogs with spicy chestnuts made by Yao Yu will use hot sauce, red oil and other seasonings.

Therefore, both Yao Yu and Yang Rui unanimously resorted to a big move-secret red oil.

The efficiency of the two in processing ingredients is very fast, and the method of refining red oil is exactly the same.

Not long after, a strong and spicy fragrance wafted across the arena.

Yao Yu, who had already noticed Yang Rui's intention, raised his head and smiled slightly.

Little boy, use the secret red oil I taught you to deal with me?
Do you really think you can outshine others?

Yao Yu thought to himself, turned around and poured the peeled chestnuts and bullfrogs into the casserole.

In the jury, Lu Tao and Liu Zicheng who smelled the aroma of red oil were a little surprised.

The cooking skills and vision of the two of them are extremely high. Just by smelling the fragrance, I know that the formula of red oil refining by Yao Yu and Yang Rui must be very unusual.

As the president of Shencheng Kitchen Association, Wang Yuanbo is also a well-informed master.

He pushed his glasses and said:
"The red oil formulas refined by these two players seem to be the same. Are they brothers in the same discipline?"

Lu Tao knew Yao Yu's situation better, so he smiled and said:
"That's not true. But Yao Yu and Yang Rui have a very good relationship. If there are any good ingredients and dishes, they will communicate with each other."

Wang Yuanbo nodded and said:
"It turns out that's the case. Crazy Yu, I haven't eaten his food for a long time. I don't know if his work can surprise us this time."

PS: Recently, I have been a little bit stuck, degraded into a more beast, and the recommendation ticket is also useless, so I am embarrassed to ask.

If one day you see that I have more explosive seeds, you can hit me with a recommendation ticket, okay?

Although……

It seems that it is useless to rush to the street to ask for a recommendation ticket...
