Chapter 321: Lobster Yimian
Everyone was worried about Chen Zhiyuan, but at this time, Chen Daren was still calm. His appearance not only made the people on the scene sweat, but even the people in front of the TV were worried about Chen Zhiyuan.
Even if you don’t know how to watch Kim Jingxiao’s kimchi seafood soup and Koizumi’s Kaiseki cuisine, you can see that it’s extraordinary just by looking at it. If you want to beat them, Chen Zhiyuan’s dishes are first of all, that is, they have to surpass them in appearance. But at this time, Chen Zhiyuan’s dishes are still missing. He is still competing with a ball of dough. Everyone really can’t think of what Chen Zhiyuan is going to do.
Brother Liu was a little unable to sit in the audience. This competition not only concerns the honor of China, but also involves his grandfather's life. If Chen Zhiyuan cannot win the competition, then ginseng cannot be obtained. Without ginseng, his grandfather's life will be in danger. If Chen Zhiyuan is also busy with work like Jin Jingxiao and Koizumi, Brother Liu would not be restless, but Chen Zhiyuan looks slow, how can he not make Brother Liu get angry?
Sitting beside Brother Liu San was Jiang Qianqin. At this time, Meimei Jiang's heart was in her throat. Seeing Chen Zhiyuan's appearance of nothing, she wanted to walk over and kick him hard. It was now, and that guy actually looked leisurely and nothing. It was so annoying!
Because she was tortured by Chen Zhiyuan, Song Muqing and Su Bingxuan, who were unable to come to the scene, were sitting in the living room wearing pajamas, staring at the TV and were worried about Chen Zhiyuan. Su Bingxuan, who was a little anxious, wanted to pull Chen Zhiyuan out of the TV. She made the dish by herself. Chen Zhiyuan's slow look at this time was really anxious.
Seeing that the time for this competition was about to come, Chen Daren was still competing with the dough, and he didn't look anxious at all. This was not because Chen Zhiyuan was so arrogant that he could win Kim Jingxiao and Koizumi with this dough. It was really the lobster noodles he made. The most important thing was this side, and the most time-consuming side was this side, so Chen Zhiyuan spent most of the competition on this side.
At the beginning of the competition, Chen Zhiyuan cut off the lobster prepared by Brother Liu San and put it aside for use. Then he made the three medicinal materials, Wu Jicao, Soteng root and Bigfoot leaf, with water. These three things are a bit reluctant to say that they are medicinal materials. The reason is that Wu Jicao, Soteng root and Bigfoot leaf are mixed together and have no medicinal properties. Unless they are mixed with other medicinal materials, they will produce medicinal properties. To put it bluntly, the function of these three things is to connect the past and the future, that is, to neutralize the medicinal properties of other medicinal materials.
Chen Zhiyuan put these three medicinal materials together with no medicinal properties and made them with water, which naturally had his profound meaning. I won’t talk about these for now, but the following text is shown.
This time the water production is not as usual. It is to force the essence of the medicinal materials into the water. On the contrary, it is to force the water into these three medicinal materials. This method is not very difficult for Chen Zhiyuan, and it can be done in a few minutes.
Chen Zhiyuan took out the three medicinal materials that had absorbed a lot of water and had become much larger from the water. After they cooled, he wrapped the big lobster beside him with these three medicinal materials and put them in a steamer to steam over low heat.
Then he began to tinker with the noodles, which lasted until now. Yi noodles were originally called Yifu noodles, which was the best in the noodles. There is also a small story here. According to legend, Yi Bingshou, the governor of Fujian Southern Fujian, was hosting guests more than 300 years ago. The chef mistakenly put the cooked egg noodles into boiling oil in a busy manner. After picking them up, he had to soak them in soup before serving them. Unexpectedly, this egg noodles won the applause of the guests and the host, and became a very refreshing dish. The noodles are made with good color and shape, loose but not loose, floating but not solid, and tastes smooth and sweet.
After so many years, the real method of Yi Noodles has long been lost. The Yi Noodles sold now are only made by later generations based on the words of older generations and their own research. Compared with Yi Noodles three hundred years ago, the taste and taste are much worse.
The idiolus Chen Zhiyuan was going to make today was the real idiolus. This method was found in the intermediate esophagus, but Chen Zhiyuan was always lazy and did not make it. Today, seeing that Kim Jingxiao and Koizumi Nakaji both used seafood as the main ingredient for the dish, Chen Zhiyuan thought of this lobster idiolus.
The real Yi has extremely strict requirements for flour, and the flour produced in China now can no longer meet the standards. Therefore, the flour chosen by Chen Zhiyuan is produced in Italy and is made of freshly harvested wheat repeatedly. Such wheat is not very expensive, but the flour made from this wheat is extremely expensive. The reason is that it is hand-made. Although the flour hand-ground is not as delicate as machine-ground, it is better because it has a good taste. Moreover, it takes dozens of times to grind this flour, so the price is very high.
Chen Zhiyuan first put the flour on the board to form a concave. Knead the top firewood duck eggs into a bowl, beat them, pour them into the flour, add a little salt and pepper, and add a little water to mix them. Knead the eggs and dough, sprinkle some dry starch, and roll the dough thinly. Each roll, sprinkle the starch once, fold them up and then roll them to prevent them from sticking.
In addition to adding salt, water, and dry starch, Chen Zhiyuan repeated this again and again. The reason for this is to make the dough more vigorous and make the dough made from this side more chewy.
The dishes made by Jin Jingxiao and Koizumi Nakaji are all kinds of, which is dazzling, but Chen Zhiyuan's dish is very boring. Except for the first time he packed lobsters and made medicinal materials, he kept kneading and rolling the noodles, which was really nothing new.
Time is coming soon, but Chen Zhiyuan is still kneading the dough. How can he not let others worry about him?
The competition time was two hours in total. Chen Zhiyuan spent kneading dough. The time for rolling dough has been as long as an hour and a half. It was obvious that the competition was about to end in twenty minutes, but he was still repeating the kneading dough and rolling dough process.
After Chen Zhiyuan kneaded and rolled for so long, the small dough was very different from ordinary dough. The whole dough seemed to be oily, and the surface looked shiny and still came to the chopping board with a "bang". Those who observe carefully could even see the dough bounced up and down on the chopping board. At this time, the elasticity on this side was no longer comparable to that of ordinary dough.
With ten minutes left, Chen Zhiyuan finally stopped kneading the dough. He first rolled the dough with a rolling pin and rolled it very thin, then quickly cut it into noodles about 6mm wide with a knife, sprinkled with a handful of flour, and used both hands to force the noodles to "crack" and repeatedly throw the noodles on the chopping board. The excellent elasticity of the noodles made everyone see clearly. These noodles are like elastic balls, and they immediately bounced high on the chopping board. It is unheard of to be able to make the noodles so elastic, but it is precisely because of this elasticity that this noodles are called authentic idiolus.
After completing this step, Chen Zhiyuan placed the boiling pot on the high heat, just like Jin Jingxiao and Koizumi Nakaji. He first wiped the ginger slices into the bottom of the pot, then put it in clean water and boil it. He put the noodles in the pot several times, rolled it up, drained it in the lid, and set it aside for a while.
Remove the wok and place it on high heat, pour in peanut oil, and heat until it is 70% hot. Add the cooked noodles several times, and fry until they expand into golden brown.
The audience was a little stunned when they saw the golden noodles. Although the noodles looked good, they were just good. They were incomparable to Kim Jingxiao's kimchi seafood soup, and even more so incomparable to Koizumi Nakaji's Kaiseki cuisine. Does Chen Zhiyuan want to use this simple fried noodles to beat Kim Jingxiao and Koizumi Nakaji? This is simply impossible. From beginning to end, no one saw Chen Zhiyuan put other seasonings. Only salt and salt can make dishes that taste far better than kimchi seafood soup and Kaiseki cuisine? No one was sure. The audience who had just cheered for Chen Zhiyuan was silent. The people in front of the TV were silent. Their hearts had already sunk.
Chen Zhiyuan found a large plate and put the noodles into it, then took out the lobster from the steamer, first removed the three medicinal herbs outside, revealing the lobster that had been steamed into red, and placed the lobster in a large plate with the noodles. Chen Zhiyuan held the plate and walked towards the judges' seat.
Seeing Chen Zhiyuan's action, many people have no hope for him to win this Three Kingdoms Cooking Competition. Kim Jingxiao and Koizumi Nakaji's dishes said that the workmanship was made. The complicated procedures were eye-catching. Everyone can see that the effort it took to complete such complicated procedures was obvious to everyone. The two of them were not busy in front of the chopping board. Seeing that Chen Zhiyuan's cooking procedure was really not highlighted, the process was boring and simple, so Chen Zhiyuan lost to Kim Jingxiao and Koizumi Nakaji.
When he fried noodles, everyone thought Chen Zhiyuan was going to exert force, but who would have thought that he would just take out the noodles and put them on the plate, take out the lobster and put it on the plate, and then, there was nothing left. Chen Zhiyuan raised it high, but put it down gently, raising everyone's appetite very well, but it disappointed everyone.
Some of the audience who saw this scene couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and stood up and sighed to walk towards the exit. They really didn't want to hear the news that the people of Bangzi Country and the island country won the game. Some people with a frustrated temper had already started to scold Chen Zhiyuan. Chen Zhiyuan really disappointed them too much.
