"Wow, so beautiful!"

At this time, the feather decoration shows four colors, one is the dark green of cucumber, the second is the yellow cake slice, then the white meat paste and the fiery red ham slice. The four colors look very beautiful, and then

In addition, there is also a faint white color between the cucumber slices and cake slices, and the color levels are very clear.

Shen Jiayue feels that even without the shark fin, the look looks very beautiful.

The temperature is too high at this time, and the cucumbers will rot easily, so they need to dry before turning.

When the shark's fin is simmered, use a slotted spoon to carefully fish it out. When fishing out, the integrity of the shark's fin should not be damaged. It should be in the shape of uniform filaments, so that the shape of the dish can be more beautiful.

After the shark's fins were taken out, there was still a little broth left in the pot. Xie Baomin didn't waste it. He poured the selected and washed rapeseed into it, briefly blanched it until it was raw, and took it out.

After all these preparations are done, it’s time to carve the peacock’s body.

Lin Xu watched for a long time, and when he saw that there was finally a step that he could take part in, he immediately said:

"Let me do this step. I just carved a radish a few days ago, and I will try pastry carving today."

In the field of food carving, there has always been a saying that hard carving is easy and soft carving is difficult.

The so-called hard carving refers to the carving of radish, lettuce, winter melon, pumpkin and other ingredients. These types of ingredients are easier to shape and relatively easy to use.

Tofu, cake, hawthorn cake, dough and other soft ingredients are troublesome to carve.

This is also the reason why the audience was in an uproar after Lin Xu used lactone tofu to carve the shape of a pair of fishes in the food competition. After all, this thing is too difficult, let alone a newcomer, even a long-established master chef can do it.

Roll over.

Xie Baomin did not doubt Lin Xu's knife skills, but just reminded:

"You can use a kitchen knife to carve backwards to create the shape of peacock curls."

Curly hair?

Lin Xu thought for a moment and understood.

He took out the slightly warm egg cake on the plate. The outline had already been drawn, and now he only needed to carve it according to the process.

First, cut the bottom flat with a knife so that the cake can stand up stably.

Then start carving from the head.

While he was busy, Xie Baomin was not idle either. Instead, he took a piece of carrot and deftly carved it into a shape similar to a fan.

There was also a small hole specially left on the top of the fan, which could just fit a rapeseed. After everything was done, Shen Jiayue discovered that it was actually a peacock crown.

She asked curiously:

"Brother, Xu Bao hasn't finished carving the peacock yet. If you make the peacock crown so early, aren't you afraid that the size won't be right?"

Xie Baomin smiled and continued carving the peacock earlobe:

"The outline of the peacock has been drawn. Junior brother can only carve it into a size that matches the crown. If it is smaller, it means that junior brother made a mistake and made some modifications."

He believed that Lin Xu would not make any mistakes, so he made the peacock crown in advance.

In fact, there was really no mistake. After Lin Xu finished carving the peacock's head and neck, Xie Baomin took the peacock crown and inserted it into his head. It was just the right size and even looked a little more impressive.

It wasn't until the peacock's breast was carved that Lin Xu's carving work came to an end.

However, he remembered the curly hair that his senior brother reminded him, so he changed a knife, took a piece of cake from his neck and pushed it upwards, and a piece of curly hair immediately appeared.

Then I pushed a few times in other places and made some curls on the neck. Not only did it look more like a peacock, but it even looked like it had just finished exercising and hadn't bothered to groom it, making it even more similar to a real peacock.

Finally, Lin Xu glued the carrot-carved earlobes on, then glued two star anise seeds to the eyes, and hung two coriander leaves on the mouth, which looked a bit like a peacock holding grass.

After the peacock is finished, it’s time to put it on the plate.

Xie Baomin placed the peacock's body on the side of the plate, then put the fried chicken shreds, bamboo shoots and sea cucumber shreds together with chopsticks to make them as silky as possible, and then began to place them facing the peacock's head.<

Arrange it into a large radial arched pile, then take the blanched rape leaves and place them at intervals at the back. The leaves should completely extend beyond the top of the pile and even push against the inner edge of the plate.

The green part of peacock feathers accounts for a large proportion, so cucumber slices alone are not enough. Rapeseed leaves must be used as decoration.

Arrange the leaves and cover the peacock with a whole piece of shark fin. The shark fin at the tail can be spread out a little, so that the effect of the peacock tail can be better presented.

After placing the shark's fins, Xie Baomin adjusted them, then picked up small pieces of rape leaves and wrapped them around the peacock's neck.

Finally, take the cucumber slices and decorate them evenly on the peacock's back.

Once everything is done, the whole peacock will become lifelike, especially the rape leaves around the neck and the shadowy green leaves at the tail, which look exactly like a real peacock.

"Is this okay, senior brother?"

Shen Jiayue couldn't help but swallow her saliva. The beautiful and delicious dishes made people greedy!

"It's not healed yet, it needs to be polished again."

Xie Baomin poured the remaining stock into the pot, boiled it with sugar, and then added a little water starch to turn the stock into a golden consistency.

Then pour in some chicken oil and push it gently with the back of a spoon, so that the soup becomes brighter.

Taking advantage of this time, Xie Baomin picked up the pot and carefully poured the prepared soup on the peacock. The whole peacock suddenly became shiny under the light, making it look even more appetizing and delicious.

Only then did Shen Jiayue discover that glowing food really does exist.

Even with this shiny look under the lights, it definitely won’t taste bad.

"So beautiful, so beautiful!"

Lin Xu held the plate and showed it to the camera, then placed it on the automatically rotating plate tray and started taking close-ups.

With this lifelike peacock shape, anyone who sees it will probably exclaim.

While Shen Jiayue was taking a close-up, Lin Xu looked at Xie Baomin and asked:

"Brother, why can't we see such high-end dishes at banquets now?"

Xie Baomin smiled and said:

"After the exaggeration ended, such dishes were withdrawn from banquets. They can't be extravagant and wasteful. Ordinary rich people can't afford such dishes, and they may still find it troublesome to eat them.

In addition, the chef is unwilling to cook it, so it is like high-end Huaiyang cuisine, which only exists in legends. It has not been lost, but it is not available to eat."

Lin Xu smiled bitterly:

"What a pity for such a good dish. Fortunately, it was photographed today. At least everyone knows how to make it and knows that there is such a high-end dish that looks great."

From this perspective, this video is quite valuable.

As for whether those netizens will try to reproduce it, there is a high probability that it will not happen.

After all, everyone believes that "when a person lies in bed, his cooking skills will improve". The most likely way of action is to buy the food and then shout:

"Mom!!!!"

After Shen Jiayue took the close-up, she couldn't help but rub her white palms:

"Now that it's done, shouldn't it be time to try it?"

Hoho, little peacock, this baby is going to eat you!
