"Okay, let's start."

Yi Baitang suddenly spoke.

The people who were shocked by Yi Baitang's sudden throwing of the fruit knife just now saw the man standing in front of the chopping board move his shoulders, shake his arms, and finally turn his head back and forth, the sound of the spine rotating came to everyone At the same time, Yi Baitang's slightly squinted eyes also caught everyone's eyes.

Everyone who was just shocked just now stood up.

If they read it right, it was——!

It was a happy smile that bloomed on Yi Baitang's face.

He is more beautiful than flowers when he smiles.

But everyone was almost scared to death!

I am used to the independent appearance of my own chef's high mountain flower, and I can't imagine him blooming brilliantly at all, okay?It almost makes people feel that something unfortunate is about to happen in the next moment.

Yi Baitang turned his head, and happily said to everyone: "It's rare to have a chance to practice cooking, you start. When there was a tree before, you can stay where you are now. Whoever can't do it well, I'm now Just ask him to leave."

"But even if all of you are not doing well..."

The smile gradually faded from Yi Baitang's face.

Yi Baitang returned to his usual appearance.

He turned to face the chopping board again, and took out the ingredients that Xiao Suiyuan had already prepared.

He just decided to make a cold dish with the theme of cherry blossoms, and now he has already thought of one of the four cold dishes.

Boil red amaranth in water, then take an appropriate amount of pickled radish, add the pickled radish to the red amaranth water, use flame and various seasonings to speed up the coloring speed, when the pickled radish is dyed red in the amaranth water, pick it up and slice it.

Everyone saw that Yi Baitang's gaze was erratically fixed on any point in the kitchen, but the kitchen knife in his hand was getting faster and faster, gradually turning into a flashing silver light.

But within a minute or two, the aggressive sound of kitchen knives suddenly stopped, Yi Baitang waved his hand, and the radish slices on the cutting board were evenly distributed among the ten white porcelain plates.

He picked up the petal-shaped porcelain plate on the left, and blew lightly on the pickled radish.

Everyone's hearts trembled with this sound.

I saw the stacked pickled radishes suddenly upwards, scattered with the airflow, as thin as a cicada's wings and shaped like flower petals.

Yi Baitang leaned back slightly, looked back sideways, and said lightly:

"Even if all of you don't do well, I can win."

In front of him, the petals were still flying, as if the wind was blowing the flowers and trees. Under the bright sunlight, the petals rustled and fell, and the sky was full of crimson.

Xiaosuiyuan has two kitchens.One kitchen is located in the southeast corner of the garden, and the other kitchen is located in the southwest corner of the yard, which are exactly symmetrical across a central axis of the garden.

When Yi Baitang was still dealing with his own teamwork issues, everyone in the Tide Building had already skillfully joined the work sequence, soaking the hair, heating the pot, steaming, everything was in order, and in the blink of an eye, the deserted kitchen was gone. The heat is in full swing, and there are symphonies of pots and pans colliding everywhere.

Hu Chengping undoubtedly stands in the position of the leader.

There is still some time before the dishes are served, and he doesn't need to start so early, so he is looking around the kitchen in a leisurely manner, and his brows are slightly frowned upon seeing it.

It's too slow.

With such a slow movement, how will we deal with the picky diners outside?

His eyes rested on a handyman cleaning and handling seafood.

The other party's method is not standard, so washing is slow and easy to leave sand.

Hu Chengping's brows were already trembling. He wanted to raise his voice to call the handyman, but he stopped suddenly when he reached the point of his mouth. He didn't know the handyman's name!

Thinking of this, Hu Chengping quickly looked around again. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that, except for Hu Guangqing and Hu Jianming, his two apprentices, he had met most of the people in the kitchen at most once or twice. Apart from being able to call out the names of the chefs below, the others have met once or twice at most, and they don’t have a deep impression, let alone know what they are good at and what they are not good at.

Then he looked at Hu Guangqing and Hu Jianming.

Their actions at this time were not as perfect as Hu Chengping expected.

But at this point, Hu Chengping is not in a hurry to speak.

He also came to the cutting board, picked up a piece of tofu under everyone's awed and doubtful eyes, and started cutting it with a knife.

……really.

In the aggressive knife sound, only Hu Chengping himself could hear the slowness and aging.

Haven't done it for too long.

I no longer have the knife skills of my prime.

Now is not the time to say anything unfavorable.

Hu Chengping thought quietly.

Although this was an accident that I hadn't thought of before, Yi Baitang's restaurant has only been open for a month, and his kitchen is only less experienced than mine here, and he doesn't know how to cooperate.

Keep the current situation going.

He quickly made a decision. In the final analysis, he still didn't believe that a young man in his twenties at most could win against him.

Even if that young man has been in contact with cooking since he was born, it has only been in contact for 20 years now.

And what about yourself?

The practice time is three times his.

Even if it's just the experience between two people, he still wins the other side.Not to mention the difference in experience and ability between the two teams in this team battle.

"By the way, shall we make three sets of ducks today?"

Suddenly someone in the kitchen asked such a sentence.

Hu Chengping immediately turned his head, and found that the person who asked this question was the second chef of Tide Building. No wonder, at this moment, besides Hu Chengping's direct disciples, he was the only one who had the right to say a few words.

The second chef saw that everyone in the kitchen focused on him, and explained a few words: "The secret recipe of the three sets of ducks has been leaked, and other hotel restaurants have introduced the exact same way of eating recently, I am afraid that the guests will get tired of eating... "

Hu Guangqing answered:

"There are a total of nine dishes in this performance. If you don't have three sets of duck, you will lose one signature dish. And we have already set the menu before, so it's not good to change it temporarily now."

When the menu was set, the second chef was also there, and he couldn't help explaining a few words for himself: "When I set the menu, I also thought that if the signature dishes were not on the list, there would be no special characteristics of our own."

"Do it." Hu Chengping made a decision.

He knows in his heart that not having "the characteristics of his own family" is just a euphemism, and the more correct term is "the same as other families".

Except for these five signature dishes, the rest of the dishes are no longer confident that they can beat the chefs of other big restaurants!

He sighed secretly in his heart.

He still didn't think Yi Baitang could beat him.But it is undeniable that as time went by, his bad premonition became stronger and stronger...

At six o'clock in the evening, Shang Huaiyan appeared alone outside the gate of Xiao Suiyuan.

Today he changed into a silver-gray suit and came here in a limited edition yellow BMW sports car. As soon as he got out of the car, the two red lanterns on the porch of Xiao Suiyuan projected their radiance on the man who stepped out of the car. He is tall and handsome.

Tonight, all the celebrities came and went with invitations. Naturally, there were also many people from the business world. They either brought their girlfriends or their families. They all noticed at this time, Shang Huaiyan standing in front of the door.

Now that I have noticed it, it is inevitable to exchange some pleasantries.

This group of people smiled at each other when they faced Shang Huaiyan, and when they turned their faces away, they murmured to their family and female companions: "This kid, I don't know who he wants to catch recently, even if he comes here for a meal, he has to show his charm coming."

Shang Huaiyan didn't notice how the group of people were discussing himself behind their backs, he walked along the path of the small garden, and soon came to the veranda near the water.

Green creepers crossed the vermilion painted beams, under the beams, tables of various sizes were placed in the veranda, Shang Huaiyan came alone, he could have picked a small table to sit down, but He looked around and came to a large table.

The people at the big table noticed Shang Huaiyan's arrival, and they all raised their heads, and the person closest to Shang Huaiyan laughed: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Shang, rare customers, come and sit here, here There's still room left!"

Shang Huaiyan smiled slightly. He opened his chair and sat down. He nodded to the business partners at the table first, and then talked to the person who greeted him first: "Boss Lin is here today?"

The first person to speak out was Mr. Lin, who had invited Tidelou to come over at the previous domestic and foreign exchange exhibitions, but almost messed up the matter.

Mr. Lin tilted his body and talked to Shang Huaiyan: "Yes, I just received a post from Xiao Suiyuan. This thing is rare once a year, so I'll come and take a look. The most important thing is..."

He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him at the table except Shang Huaiyan, so he quickly said: "You also know about the incident last time. Do you have to eat! Right now is a good opportunity, tell me, I will definitely give them the lowest score later!"

Shang Huaiyan immediately laughed: "Come on, Mr. Lin, if you really think so, why don't you sit at the red table in the Tide Building, and come to the blue table on the other side? Then you can only vote for the blue table later." Color Fang, it can’t beat Tidelou’s score.”

Lie was exposed by Shang Huaiyan, and Mr. Lin was not embarrassed, and continued to be frank: "After all, it is still a rare opportunity. This kind of opportunity is used for anger. Isn't it picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon? There is no scoring at the Ted Building , it’s the same if I give Blue Fang ten points!”

Having said that, Mr. Lin paused, and asked Shang Huaiyan:

"Do you know who the opponent of Tidelou is this time? I'm still a little curious to dare to challenge the time-honored Tidelou."

"Mr. Lin didn't ask about it?"

"Hey, how can it be? I'm just a stutterer. But it's strange, there doesn't seem to be any news of the culinary art world challenging the side of Ted Building. This guy looks like he jumped out of a rock."

"It can be seen that he is a reclusive expert." Shang Huaiyan said with a smile.

"Who do you think will win this game?" Boss Lin asked again.

"Does this still need to be said?" Shang Huaiyan said.

Of course he believed that Yi Baitang would win, Baitang won, he was proud of him.

If something happens, he will use his method to make Yi Baitang win, and Baitang still won, and he is just as proud of him.

Suddenly there was a shout for food to be served in front of him.

It is the usual way of Ted House.

The waiter in the waiting room was calling:

"One blessing comes from the east with eight-treasure fish, the second one is rich with gold and silver, the third one has Nanshan Songfeng Crane, and the fourth one has three sets of ducks!"

There were crowds of people around the red table, and the dishes began to be served one after another.

"Oh——" Boss Lin, who was sitting next to Shang Huaiyan, made a voice, and when it reached Shang Huaiyan's ears with the night wind, he sighed with a bit of familiar joy: "It's still the same old way, the couple in the Ted Building It’s a signature dish, although it’s not bad, but now I can imagine the taste with my eyes closed.”

Shang Huaiyan was taken aback for a moment, and understood in a hurry why Yi Baitang was already able to cook very deliciously during the past relationship, and from time to time he made some dishes that let his soul fly.

It must be because, in food, stopping is tantamount to going backwards.

When the existing road comes to an end, you can only hold a sharp knife and go straight up all the way.

Just at this time, in front of the southeast corner, behind the bamboo forest, there was the same movement. Across a stream of light, in the unique silence of the night, the figure of the waiter who served dishes began to appear, belonging to Yi Baitang. The dishes will also appear in front of everyone!
