Chapter 39: The Showdown in Ju downstairs
In the hall where Ju went downstairs, the birthday banquet at this time was nearing its end. It was the guests and the host who were enjoying themselves, and the atmosphere was peaceful. Some guests were already staggering to leave for home.
A waiter ran over and said a few words in the ear of the emcee. Then the emcee walked onto the stage and picked up the microphone and said to the guests off the stage: "Dear guests, our birthday banquet is nearing its end, Secretary Gao for everyone We have prepared a great finale. Next, we will ask Secretary Gao to personally introduce us to us. Welcome!"
Amid the applause of the audience, Secretary Gao slowly stepped onto the stage: "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the birthday banquet of my father’s 80th birthday. Everyone knows that my father is a glutton, so this For a birthday banquet, I invited Chef Liu Zixing Liu, the current helm of the Liu family at Juxiastairs, to make longevity noodles for us."
"Not only that, but today there happened to be a young chef who came from Ben R across the oceans and wanted to take our stage to compete with Chef Liu. As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, in line with the principle of ZR friendly cooperation, and The spirit of encouraging young people to climb the mountain bravely, I agreed to his request, I believe they will bring us a wonderful showdown, the shop is already preparing for work, please sit down, we will be from among you Select a few judges, and then we will let the winner make today’s longevity noodles for you."
Secretary Gao’s introduction greeted crowds of applause. Liu Zixing’s name is still very famous in Sichuan. When he heard that Liu Zixing made it himself and had a cooking showdown with other people, the guests came in a hurry and left. The guests at the table also sat back again.
With the efforts of the staff at Juxiastairs, all necessary things such as cooking utensils, ingredients and so on were moved onto the stage. After a while, the stage was set up as a temporary kitchen.
In the introduction of the emcee, Liu Zixing and Komori Luo stepped onto the stage and stood side by side in the middle of the stage. Then the emcee brought Secretary Gao’s father on the stage, and randomly selected 3 guests, plus Komori Luo brought Julie, a total of five people made up the lineup of judges this time.
When they saw a child who was only about ten years old, the guests cast their contemptuous glances.In this regard, Komori Luo did not pay any attention.
"Game start!"
At the order of the master of ceremonies, Liu Zixing and Komori Luo went to select the ingredients one after another. After selecting the ingredients, the two went to the stoves on both sides of the stage to start making dandan noodles.
The two first chose to make noodles. They saw that the steps were roughly the same. They both poured the flour on the chopping board and piled them in a pile. Then they dug a hole in the flour and put some eggs in the middle. Then began to knead the dough.During the kneading process, they added an appropriate amount of alkaline water.
After the noodles were reconciled, they put the reconciled dough into the container, covered it with gauze and began to wake up.The only difference is that Liu Zixing's dough is slightly yellow, while Komori's noodle pattern shows a strange gray-black.
Depending on the noodles, it usually takes 10-30 minutes to wake up the noodles. During this time, the two began to prepare the ingredients for the dandan noodles.
Because the broth provided by Juxialou did not meet Komori’s requirements, Komori chose to transform the broth first. He chopped up garlic, green and red peppers and other vegetables, added them to the finished broth, and then added tomatoes. And some homemade spices start cooking again.
And Liu Zixing has no problem with Xiao Mori Luo. After all, he uses the stock every day and is used to it. Therefore, Liu Zixing first made the most important ingredient of Dandan noodles-dried pork, so he copied two pieces. The kitchen knife was opened wide and the pork leg was chopped into minced meat, and then put a wok on the fire, and put a little oil to heat it.
After the pot is heating up, Liu Zixing pours the chopped minced meat into the pot and stirs, add seasonings such as salt, pepper, etc., then beat the appropriate amount of sweet noodle sauce with a small amount of oil, add it and stir fry together .
In the process of stir-frying, a burst of appetizing meaty aroma mixed with a hint of sweetness spread in the sound.The saliva of the guests in the hall suddenly accelerated.
Guest A: "Wow, you deserve to be Chef Liu, the minced meat is stir-fried, how can the smell of meat be so attractive!"
Guest B: "Ah, this sweet taste, this minced pork mixed with sweet noodle sauce presents an attractive brown color, I feel that I can eat three bowls of rice just with this minced pork!"
Just as the guests were enjoying Liu Zixing's cuisine with enthusiasm, a red whirlwind swept the entire hall with a stimulating taste.
"Look, what is that kid doing!"
I don't know who shouted, attracting the attention of the guests to Komori Luo.
Everyone looked at it and saw that at this moment, Komori on the stage was holding a large bag of peppers and pouring into a stone mortar. The body of the red whirlwind just now was the pepper in his stone mortar.
After the spicy sauce was finished, Komori started to stir-fry the minced pork, but unlike Liu Zixing, he was not only frying the minced pork, but first stir-fried the minced pork and onion together to create a fragrance, and then added it. The good Pixian bean paste and other condiments are seasoned, and finally the freshly ground bright red spicy pepper is sprinkled in a lot.
After it was heated, the minced pork in the pot was also dyed bright red, and a strong and stimulating fragrance burst out in the pot.
"Ah, it's pepper! What a violent scent, just smelling it makes me feel like a sweat."
"This amount is too much. Will so much chili spoil the taste of the food. But no matter what, the smell and color make my DNA as a Sichuanese all over!"
Just when Komori was making minced pork, Liu Zixing had finished making the ingredients, and seeing the noodles almost awake, he took out the dough and began to make the protagonist of today's Dandan noodles-noodles.
After he kneaded the dough and beat it, he sprinkled raw flour on the counter to start making the dough. He kneaded the dough into a cylinder and then divided it into small pieces of moderate size. After kneading again, he put the dough He took it in his hand and began to pull it up one by one.
The noodles seemed to be alive in his hands. When stretched, they danced like silver snakes, and when they shook powder, they resembled stormy waves. The last button was over. The noodles in Liu Zixing's hand seemed to be "flying down three thousand feet, suspected that the Milky Way falls for nine days" Fell into the pot next to it.
On the other hand, Komori has already prepared all the ingredients here, and transferred to the making of noodles. Unlike Liu Zixing, he did not divide the dough into small sections after rolling it into a cylindrical shape, but grabbed the whole dough in his hand. Flicked like a whip. Under Komori's sway, the dough continued to spiral upward, becoming thinner and longer, and longer and longer. With the heat coming out of the pot on the side, it was like a black dragon, circling and rushing up. Yunxiao.
Seeing that the thickness of the noodles was almost the same, then Komori stopped the movement in his hand. As the movement stopped, the noodles dived straight into the flat prepared by Komori and entangled in it.
Below, the noodles flipped and flew into the tumbling pot under the twitch of Komori, quite a bit of a taste of "wandering dragon and angelica, the sea does not welcome me".
This rare sight caused a round of applause from some audience members.
"Wonderful! That kid has gorgeous tricks, he has only one face from beginning to end, which is amazing."
"That's one piece of noodles in the legend. One bowl of noodles is one. This foreign kid has real skills."
"Yes, it is said that as long as you eat a piece of noodles uninterruptedly, you can pray for longevity and bring good luck. It is really the most suitable noodle for making longevity noodles."
...
Time passed by one minute after another, and both of them had entered the final stage.
