Start plundering from the courtyard

After hearing this and seeing Lin Fan's extremely confident look, although Nan Yi was still a little confused and didn't know where Lin Fan got his confidence from, he still agreed immediately.

After discussing all this, Nan Yi and Lin Fan walked towards the stove.

They didn't specially ask anyone to be witnesses for the two of them. There were many people in the kitchen, and they didn't hide anything when they were talking. Anyone who was in the kitchen would naturally hear them starting to compete!

of course!

More importantly, Lin Fan believed in Nan Yi's character and believed that he would not be a beast like Sha Zhu who refused to admit his mistakes!

As for Nan Yi, he was extremely confident in his skills and felt that he would not lose to Lin Fan!

The vegetables had been cut, the meat had been cut by Nan Yi, and all the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea were also prepared on the side.

As Lin Fan and his companions added firewood to heat the pot, preparing to begin the cooking competition, Director Liu quietly moved to the door, intending to escape from the back kitchen!

of course!

He was also a little angry in his heart. Just let them compete, why did they suddenly bring up his head?

He, Liu Congjun, is the head of the machinery factory and has hundreds of workers under him. Why would he apologize to Nan Yi, a lousy cook?

Thinking of this, Director Liu no longer had any expectations for Lin Fan. He knew Nan Yi's craftsmanship and felt that he absolutely could not stay here any longer. Otherwise, not to mention his face, he would definitely lose everything!

Director Liu just slipped away without attracting anyone's attention. Everyone's eyes were on Lin Fan and Nan Yi, or rather, on the stove in front of them!

As the saying goes, an expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look!

Since the dishes were already prepared, Lin Fan missed the opportunity to show off his knife skills, but every loss has a gain. Since the dishes were already prepared, all he could do was to see how the dishes made by the two of them tasted!

Nan Yi probably underestimated Lin Fan, as he was just beginning to leisurely prepare the sauce.

As for Lin Fan, he had already prepared the dishes he needed. The meat had been marinated, and the hot oil in the pot had already started to crackle!

Stir-fry the onion, ginger and garlic until fragrant, then add the peppercorns and star anise and continue to stir-fry until fragrant. Add the marinated sow pork belly and fry until it is a little charred. Add some soy sauce to adjust the color, and then add the chopped cabbage and fry until it is just cooked. At this point, add water, salt, and sauce and mix thoroughly. Then add some soy products and fungus. Finally, cover the pot and simmer for a while until the heat lifts the lid. The dish is done!

At this point, some people realized that what Lin Fan was making was obviously a home-style stew!

Nan Yi also noticed it, but he just felt a little disdainful in his heart. What the hell is a big pot dish? How can it be compared with the [Palace Ten-Directions Meat] that he is about to make?

Glancing at Lin Fan with disdain, Nan Yi did not stop what he was doing and continued to mix the sauce in his hand!

As for Lin Fan, he was naturally not angry about this. After all, the outcome was still uncertain before the end!

However, since Lin Fan had prepared it in advance, he naturally would not wait for Nan Yi any longer. Besides, the stew tastes better when eaten while it is hot. So, when the time was almost up, Lin Fan directly opened the lid of his pot, obviously preparing to serve the stew out of the pot!

However, as soon as the lid of the pot was opened, Nan Yi, who had been indifferent, suddenly froze in place!

Is this really the aroma that can come from a big stew?

Nan Yi couldn't help but look down at the sauce in his hand. He almost became a little unconfident. He felt that even if he could cook the famous dish [Palace Ten-square Meat] well, he would never be a match for Lin Fan!

Why?

Just because Lin Fan can make such a fragrant dish just by using the stew, and because Nan Yi never had such a fragrant smell when he made the stew in the past!

of course!

Not to mention Nan Yi, even the people in the kitchen were breathing in the fragrance floating in the room!

This was the behavior they had never seen before when eating the food cooked by Nan Yi, and it was also the last straw that broke Nan Yi's heart!

Just as Lin Fan opened the lid of the pot, everyone found bowls and chopsticks from the corners of the kitchen and lined up in front of Lin Fan. Nan Yi was completely mentally collapsed!

So, he poured the sauce he was preparing directly onto the ground, and joined the queue with his bowl and chopsticks in hand!

What the hell is this competition?

Why doesn't he just admit defeat?

Lin Fan was also very generous. After opening the lid of the pot, he began to distribute the food to everyone one spoonful at a time.

However, when he saw Nan Yi, Lin Fan was still a little surprised. The fire under this guy's stove was out, but he was still queuing up to eat the stew. Could it be that he wanted to shirk his debt?

As he thought about this, Lin Fan's face became somewhat confused, and he couldn't help but stop the movement of his hands.

Seeing this, Nan Yi became anxious!

He thought that Lin Fan felt that they were in a competitive relationship, so Lin Fan was not going to serve him food, so Nan Yi hurriedly said to Lin Fan anxiously.

"I give in. I really do. I admit defeat in this competition. Just hurry up and make me some stew!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan came back to his senses and found it a little funny in his heart, but he resumed serving the food and gave Nan Yi a big spoonful of stew!

Seeing so many stews, Nan Yi didn't have time to be happy. He quickly ran to the side, squatted on the ground with his bowl and chopsticks, and started to feast on them!

But he just ate it, and suddenly tears started streaming down his face!

He was crying while eating, and muttering to himself while crying, saying that he finally understood that what the old man told him was not nonsense, and that this was the highest realm of cooking!

When everyone had their meals ready, Lin Fan served himself a portion. Without avoiding others or caring about his image, he just squatted on the ground and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Just like that, the kitchen suddenly became quiet, and the only sound was the sound of people chewing food!

Take a break.

Everyone quickly finished the stew in their bowls, and their stomachs were full. However, judging by their expressions, they obviously had not eaten enough and wanted to eat more!

After coming to their senses, everyone started praising Lin Fan again, but Lin Fan didn't care about their opinions. Instead, he walked straight to Nan Yi.

With a smile on his face, he said to the dazed Nan Yi.

"How is it? My cooking skills should be pretty good!"

Although Lin Fan's question was a question, he sounded extremely certain.

Nan Yi also came back to his senses, his face returned to a serious expression, and he nodded very seriously, obviously agreeing with Lin Fan's words. Then he pleaded with Lin Fan.

"No matter what, no matter what you want me to do, no matter what you want me to agree to, I will not refuse. But I have one request. I hope you can take me with you. I really want to make progress!"

While saying this, Nan Yi actually bowed directly to Lin Fan, as if he would not get up unless Lin Fan agreed!

As for why we bow, I need to explain here that in this era, bowing means paying homage to the teacher, while kneeling means paying homage to the master!

There was nothing wrong with Nan Yi's action. Since he was already a chef, it meant that he already had a master and had inherited his skills. If he knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Fan at this time, it would be inappropriate!

However, after seeing Nan Yi's performance, Lin Fan became a little uncertain!

How do you say this?
