Dare to cook

Chapter 84 Is Today Double Eleven?
Three hours of game time passed quickly.

It was nearly 11:30 when Yao Yu and Yang Rui finished the dishes one after another.

This is not to say that two people have to spend so much time cooking three bullfrog dishes.

Just as a professional chef, you also need to know how to adjust your cooking rhythm according to the cooking time.

Some dishes taste very different when they are just out of the pan than after they have been cooked for a long time.

"Dishes don't taste good when they're cold" is by no means a polite remark.

but objective facts.

Therefore, many dishes have to be prepared on time.

The dishes cooked by the two were put on the judging table, and the three of Lu Tao began to taste carefully.

The first to be commented on were Yang Rui's three dishes.

After Lu Tao tasted it, he said:
"Thousands of Stir-Fried Bullfrogs are a bit dry, and the contestants should add some sweet potato flour to thicken it when cooking, so that the taste will be smoother and tender."

"The boiled bullfrog is spicy and delicious, and everything is done well, especially the red oil soup base of this dish is very good, which whets the appetite."

"The dish of steamed clams with bullfrogs with chopped peppers is well done. The spiciness of chopped peppers and the freshness of clams are fully integrated. The taste is delicious, and the appearance of the dishes is also very good."

"Generally speaking, Yang Rui, your grasp of this dish is no worse than your father's."

Steamed clams with chopped pepper and bullfrog is an innovative dish of Yang Rui's father, Yang Ji.

Yang Ji is also a famous chef on the Kirin list.

Although his ranking is not as high as Lu Tao's, the reputation of Diaohualou managed by Yang Ji is not worse than Lu Yuan's at all.

Lu Tao and Yang Ji have been in touch for a long time, and have eaten steamed clams made by Yang Ji several times.

Therefore, his evaluation of this dish is deeper than the other two judges.

After Lu Tao finished speaking, Liu Zicheng and Wang Yuanbo also commented on Yang Rui's dishes.

In the end, Yang Rui's scores were 9.77, 9.85 and 9.89.

After tasting Yang Rui's dishes, it was Yao Yu's turn.

The three judges were very familiar with Yao Yu, and they all looked at Yao Yu with the recognition and expectations of the elders for the younger generation.

Yao Yu was naturally relaxed when facing the three judges.

Speaking of which, these three people were old friends of his second uncle and grandfather.

Facing them, Yao Yu would not feel any pressure from authority at all.

After all... they are all too familiar.

The three of them also commented on Yao Yu's dishes, and pointed out some flaws and deficiencies.

Although those flaws are nothing to other players.

But Lu Tao and the others had higher demands on Yao Yu.

Today, not many chefs dare to treat Yao Yu as a younger generation.

Even Lu Tao and Liu Zicheng are more inclined to use the standard of judging the chefs of the Kirin list to ask Yao Yu.

Therefore, the three of them not only "picked the bone in the egg" to point out many minor problems of Yao Yu's dishes, but also provided many improvement methods and ideas, which benefited Yao Yu a lot.

The process of Lu Tao and the three commenting on Yao Yu's dishes was broadcast live on the Internet verbatim.

On the Internet, all the clever chefs saw the love and care for Yao Yu from the three judges, and they were envious for a while.

It is precisely because of cherishing talents that I will talk more and mention more.

Otherwise, just a few compliments to deal with it, how can I give such pointers and experience.

After a round of pointers, several judges also rated Yao Yu's dishes.

In the end, Yao Yu won the game with a total score of 1.8 points higher than that of Yang Rui.

After the referee announced the result of the game, Yao Yu raised his eyebrows at Yang Rui, and said with a smile, "You will be given the job of cleaning the kitchen for a week."

After losing the game, Yang Rui was not disappointed.

Just looking at Yao Yu's complacent look, he curled his lips in displeasure: "The villain is successful!"

After the game was over, Yao Yu didn't pack up his things and leave immediately, but was called aside by Lu Tao and the others to talk for a while.

Liu Zicheng asked with a smile:
"Yao Yu, who taught you the kind of red oil you refined with Yang Rui before?"

"The taste is quite strong. It's just too spicy, so it's not suitable for the elderly."

For such questions, Yao Yu had already thought of the answer, and said with a smile:
"This is a recipe I found out from the recipe left by my great-grandfather. If the old man is interested, I will pass it on to you."

Liu Zicheng gave up and said:

"No, no, no. I've retired as an old bone, and I don't have the energy to delve into innovation."

"Since this is your family's secret recipe, you can keep it alive."

After Liu Zicheng finished speaking, Wang Yuanbo also had a conversation with Yao Yu, and left with Liu Zicheng first.

Both of them are human beings.

At this moment, he could see that Lu Tao had something to say to Yao Yu alone.

Lu Tao waited for everyone else to leave, and then walked out of the arena with Yao Yu in a leisurely manner.

While walking, Lu Tao suddenly said meaningfully: "Did you have fun in Hangzhou the day before yesterday?"

Yao Yu was stunned, knowing that Lu Tao already knew that he met Lu Chenyu in Hangzhou.

However, he didn't panic. He didn't feel nervous at all like a son-in-law facing his father-in-law. He said cheerfully, "It's good. It's rare for everyone to get together. Lu Chenyu is also here, and we all have a good time."

Lu Tao couldn't help shaking his head amusedly when he saw that he looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

My daughter knows it by herself.

If Yao Yu didn't have a certain weight in Lu Chenyu's heart, then Lu Chenyu would not show up at the Jinmao Tower to watch the duel between Yao Yu and Hong Shipu.

Not to mention giving Yao Yu things in public.

But Lu Tao didn't intend to interfere with their exchanges.

Of course, if Yao Yu really dared to bully Lu Chenyu, then he wouldn't mind teaching Yao Yu a lesson and chopping him into a crabmeat lion head.

Lu Tao smiled and said:

"Yesterday, Chen Yu's grandfather tidied up the study and found a recipe that belonged to your Yao family from a pile of old books."

"Our old man also wants to meet you. After these two days, after finishing the competition, you can come to Lu Garden and take back your family's recipes."

Yao Yu was very surprised.

There is still a cookbook in Lu Huaiwei's place?It must have been lent to him by his grandfather Yao Liren, right?
After all, grandfather and Lu Huaiwei used to be colleagues, and they both served as chefs of state banquets in the capital for several years. The relationship between the two has always been very good.

Yao Yu immediately said, "Uncle Lu, when is it convenient for the old man? How about I go to Lu Garden the day after tomorrow?"

Lu Tao nodded and said, "That's fine."

The two walked out of the competition center while talking.

Lu Tao was invited to serve as a judge, and had to attend a dinner at the organizer with Liu Zicheng and Wang Yuanbo at noon.

After Yao Yu said goodbye to Lu Tao, he drove to Renhe Pavilion alone.

After working in the Renhe Pavilion for half a day, and teaching Xu Yunle and others a few dishes, the day passed quickly.

The sun sets and the moon rises, and the night passes in a blink of an eye.

Early the next morning, after Yao Yu got up and washed, he went out on his bicycle and bought four deep-fried dough sticks, and came back, and then cooked two bowls of wontons, exactly eleven in each bowl.

while having breakfast,
Seeing that Yao Yu deliberately broke the fritters to eat, Yao Chan couldn't help blinking and asked:

"Is it Double Eleven today? Why are you breaking the fritters and eating them?"

Yao Yu shook his head and said:

"No. But life occasionally has a sense of ritual. Today I have to go out early, or you can take the No. 11 bus to school later."

Yao Chan was speechless for a moment, wondering what kind of nerves his brother had today.
