Chapter 10 I Want to Take Advantage of You
As the voice of Bao Yuntian, the head of Huo Zao Peak, fell, pots and pans suddenly rang.
It had been explained before entering the venue that each person would only cook one dish in triplicate, and raise their hands to indicate when they were done.
The people on the judges' stand used chopsticks to take the dishes and taste them in the air, and then scored them individually, converging on the light curtain at the top.
The lowest score was one point, and the highest was ten points.
Looking at the ingredients, Li Dan's cooking skills were completely proficient, at least he could basically cook the recipes in his spiritual sea of consciousness.
And because of the Qingling Pill given by his two senior brothers last night, he also successfully broke through to the seventh level of Qi Condensation.
There were three Guyuan Pills left, and one Qingling Pill left.
The time between taking the pills must be at least seven days apart, that is, after seven days, he can successfully break through to the eighth level of Qi Condensation.
By then, once he has cultivated to the ninth level, he will get 50,000 points to exchange for a Huayuan Pill, and he will completely step into the Huayuan realm.
It can be regarded as truly entering the ranks of practitioners.
And what he is going to cook today is a big pot dish.
That's right, a big pot dish.
High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.
There are many top-notch dishes in Li Dan's recipes, but they are extremely complicated to make.
He kept in mind the advice of his master's wife. This time, he did it so that the Eighteen Peaks of Tianya Haige would have new dishes to eat in the future, but this was one aspect, and the other aspect was the chefs.
Think about it, if everyone likes to eat it, they will definitely make a lot, after all, they have to supply 70,000 to 80,000 people every day.
If a recipe is too complicated, you still have to make dozens or hundreds of pots, which is too troublesome. After a long time, you will probably start to curse.
But the big pot dishes are different. The ingredients are simple and you can make a lot. At least it has satisfied the convenience of the people in the kitchen.
Moreover, the ingredients here are not ordinary like those in the previous life. They all contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
More importantly, he improved this big pot dish.
Mapo tofu is the main ingredient, and other ingredients are stir-fried as auxiliary ingredients.
It must taste delicious.
Li Dan took out a piece of tofu made with spirit beans these two days and placed it on the chopping board with a bang.
He picked up the kitchen knife and rotated it in his hand casually for a circle, playing a knife flower.
In the venue, Li Dan is an acquaintance of everyone, and everyone is watching his every move.
Seeing him take out a large piece of snow-white tofu, everyone burst into laughter.
Phew——
As expected, he confessed to others at the beginning.
Everyone knows that he came to participate in the competition for Lu Shiyao. Now that the tofu is out, it will soon be a metaphor for "I want to eat your tofu".
And the tofu is so white, you can see it shaking on the chopping board...
Of course, Lu Shiyao is also paying attention, and her face instantly turned red.
Bah, hooligan!
Listening to everyone's sighs, Li Dan was about to cut the tofu, a little puzzled.
What's wrong, is there something wrong with my tofu?
Bao Youwei, who was diagonally opposite, was even more angry, and then raised his middle finger to Li Dan provocatively.
Grinding the toes means that I want to step on you under my feet.
Li Dan felt puzzled, I don't know you, so what.
Then he rubbed his nose in front of Bao Youwei and flicked it.
Bao Youwei thought of last night and almost ran over with a kitchen knife.
"Will Xiaowu make stinky tofu again?"
"How should I know, but there are so many dishes next to him, it shouldn't be, anyway, just believe it!" Chen Hai and Ling Feng talked and watched closely.
Li Dan quickly cut the tofu, and then the other ingredients that had been prepared beside.
First preheat the pot, and then add oil.
As the oil temperature rises, Li Dan starts to stir-fry the sauce.
At the same time, the violent collision sound of the iron spoon and the iron pot resounded over the entire Huozao Peak.
With Li Dan's current proficiency, any change in the ingredients in the pot cannot escape his perception.
There are few fireworks, and the fragrance is everywhere.
With the participation of thousands of people, the onlookers can no longer tell which pot the fragrance comes from.
They only feel spicy, sweet and sour, pungent, and fragrant.
It's completely confusing.
There are referees interspersed to supervise.
Some outer disciples who came to fill in the numbers to earn points were exposed in a few seconds and were quickly driven out by the referee.
Li Dan was cooking his dishes wholeheartedly, and nothing outside could affect his performance.
With the help of the ground fire, Li Dan's fire control technique continued to heat the pot of soup.
The next moment, he grabbed the wooden lid and opened it suddenly.
A white hot air rushed up to the sky, and then spread out with a bang.
Then, a spicy but extremely sweet fragrance emanated from it.
"Gululu..."
A strange but spicy, numb, thick and fragrant smell came out of the pot.
The aroma floated.
There is no gorgeous description, but it smells very fragrant.
These days, eating a big pot meal without some spicy food is not acceptable.
Li Dan finished the big pot dish in a few seconds.
It felt perfect, and he put it directly on the plate, and then raised his hand.
It's that simple and clear!
As the whistle blew, everyone looked at Li Dan.
Many people were surprised because they were still cutting vegetables and carving patterns, trying to make it perfect, and the fire hadn't even been lit, and they were done?
The next moment, another whistle sounded, it was Bao Youwei.
I didn't expect that he was also done.
Li Dan looked over and saw a plate of shiny noodles on his plate.
Not bad, kid!
But Bao Youwei was not happy at the moment, because Li Dan stole his limelight, and according to the plan, he should be the first to complete it.
This is the responsibility and obligation of being a member of Huozao Peak.
Is it a shame for a cook to be a layman if he cannot compete with others in his own territory?
But I didn't expect that this guy Li Dan would finish the job so quickly. I just don't know what you did randomly.
At this moment, streaks of light flew up from their plates and floated towards the judges' table.
The judges all had two kinds of food on their plates and started tasting.
Lu Shiyao looked at the Mapo tofu and Bao Youwei's noodles on the plate, and ate the tofu without any hesitation.
The moment he entered, his face turned red instantly.
A different feeling instantly filled her taste buds and those of the other judges.
The whole tongue seems to be holding a piece of iron, spicy and fragrant.
Immediately afterwards, the tofu went softly down her throat and into her belly.
It's ridiculously hot yet fragrant.
“So spicy, so good!”
This is almost as delicious as the spicy redback worms I ate that night.
Maybe girls like to eat spicy food. One of the female Supreme Elders was just like Lu Shiyao, tasting it with her eyes closed.
"It seems that I haven't eaten food that can arouse my taste buds for a long time, and it doesn't seem to be troublesome to make. Well, it's really good!"
Lu Shiyao looked at Li Dan and really fell in love with this taste.
She originally thought that Li Dan would still be able to make spicy red-backed worms, but she didn't expect to come up with such delicious food through innovation.
Tian Zhen took a bite of tofu and the spiritual meat in it, nodded repeatedly, and was the first to raise his sign.
"The master of Taihua Peak gave Li Dan a 'ten points!' and Bao Youwei gave him six points," someone nearby shouted.
Everyone was speechless for a while. You should be a little more reserved, knowing that this is your apprentice.
And you haven’t even tasted that side.
In the audience, Xia Wanrong gave Tian Zhen a thumbs up.
I’ll reward you well tonight.
When Bao Yuntian, the leader of Huozao Peak, saw this, he immediately gave Bao Youwei a "ten" and Li Dan a six.
This means you come and go.
Can't afford to suffer a loss.
But since you are a father, you have to take the initiative to avoid being lowered by others who follow you.
"Bao Youwei, tell me about your face!" Bao Yuntian said.
Bao Youwei saluted: "Hello fellow judges, junior Bao Youwei, the name of the noodles I made today is Babao Noodles. Babao means courage, propriety, loyalty, benevolence, wisdom, filial piety, trustworthiness, righteousness, and materials. Simple, using Lingji soup as the main ingredient and other auxiliary ingredients.
It's quick to make, and everyone must have tasted it. The noodles are thin and smooth in the mouth, without any impurities, but full of chewy texture.
The blending of two different attributes is what makes this meal unique.
I, the younger generation, hope that my brothers and sisters from Tianya Hai Pavilion can eat eight-treasure noodles, carry forward their excellent moral character, and strengthen my family! "
"good!"
As Bao Youwei finished speaking, some people shouted and started to applaud, most of them from the stove room.
But the butterfly effect quickly turned into an overwhelming ovation.
Seeing that more than a dozen peak masters and elders nodded with satisfaction and prepared to give scores, Tian Zhen also said quickly.
"Li Dan, this dish you made is also delicious, and as the first one to finish it, tell me your intention!"
He stressed the word 'first' very seriously.
Li Dan was also stunned. He didn't expect that the name of the dish also had bonus points.
If I say I call it a big pot dish, will anyone think it’s something made for pigs at will?
No, no!
Seeing Tian Zhen's encouraging gaze, Li Dan rolled his eyes.
"Reporting to the judges, my dish is called Longxing Jiuyuan. It is simpler to make and everyone has tasted it. The mapo tofu in it is like the monks of our generation, moving forward cautiously and riding the wind and waves. It is full of Pot, but in the end it is ourselves who shine.”
"Heaven is moving vigorously! A gentleman strives for self-improvement!"
"The terrain is poor, and a gentleman carries his wealth with kindness!"
"I am Li Dan, and I hope that everyone in my Tianya Haige will be like a dragon and soar into the sky!"
After Li Dan finished speaking, he immediately made a salute with his hands and bowed to the judging panel.
"What a dragon traveling through the abyss, what a leap into the sky. I, Song, have rated this dish!" One of the Supreme Elders blushed at what Li Dan said and almost gave away an S card.
Ten points directly!
I have to say that Li Dan's [Longxing Jiuyuan] is really good, especially the spicy flavor, which has an indescribable feeling, and the speed is also very fast. I just watched it and the ingredients used are extremely simple. This is what Huozao Peak needs right now.
As for noodles, there are more than 20 fixed recipes that Huozhaofang has now!
Seems a bit tasteless!
As people scored one after another.
Many people were nervous on the light screen, watching the names of the two people constantly switching.
I don’t know which of them has a higher score.
Gradually, everyone sighed, because their scores were actually the same.
Three hundred and eight points!
Many people who haven't finished it are full of bitterness.
As for that, it starts with hell difficulty.
But it was more of an uproar. You must know that Bao Youwei is the only son of the master of Huozao Peak. He is also going to study abroad this time. Moreover, he grew up in Huozao Peak. There should be no suspense about his ranking.
However, it has only been a month since Li Dan came into contact with the kitchen.
And they also create their own dishes.
In this way, although the two tied for first place, in fact, Li Dan won.
etc!
Many people noticed that Lu Shiyao hadn't voted yet.
Everyone looked at her.
Now let's see what she will do, the two men in front of her are pursuing her.
Her scoring is actually a choice.
Lu Shiyao didn't expect that everyone would score so quickly and directly leave her behind.
She was trying Bao Youwei's eight-treasure noodles.
Looking at everyone at this moment, it seemed that all eyes were on her.
She was a little embarrassed.
She admitted that she had actually leaned towards Li Dan in her heart.
Bao Youwei's eight-treasure noodles were good, but I always felt that something was missing.
But if the scoring was unfair, wouldn't it be a disguised admission?
She was not prepared to face the subsequent public opinion.
But if it was fair, for Li Dan, it seemed to hit his confidence a little.
After all, he embarked on the road of cooking for himself. Now that he can be compared with Bao Youwei, it is enough to see how much effort he has put in and how much effort and sweat he has put in.
What should I do?
