Chapter 162 Stir-fried Cabbage
Although Ding Huan could find the cooking competition hall without the help of others, he still asked a maid before arriving outside the hall.
"Lao Liu, just wait for me outside."
Ding Huan warned Lao Liu and entered the hall himself.
There were eleven people sitting in the hall. When they saw Ding Huan arriving, everyone sitting here looked at him with evil eyes.
I heard that the lady only needs one cook, and with each additional person coming, their chances will be divided.
Ding Huan scanned the people in the hall and found that basically all of them had cultivation skills.
This made Ding Huan suspect that there were not many real chefs here. Just like him, he was not a chef either.
Everyone's purpose is probably similar to his, just to find a place to enter the world of Taoism.
You should go to the kitchen to compete in cooking later, right?
While Ding Huan was still looking for the kitchen, a group of people came in with various ingredients.
A long table was placed in the middle of the hall, and all the ingredients were piled on the table.
Then a dozen more mobile stoves were brought in and placed on both sides of the food table.
An older woman came in with several maids. She looked at Ding Huan and the other twelve chefs and said:
"Please use the ingredients here and cook a dish for each of you. After the dishes are finished, the lady will come to taste them in person. Please invite me."
Several chefs stood up, and Ding Huan also stood up.
There are so many ingredients here that more than a dozen chefs can't use them all, so there's no need to grab them.
Several chefs were stunned when they saw this scene, and one of them said anxiously:
"We didn't bring a pot. We only have a stove here. How can we cook?"
The woman glanced at the chefs disdainfully, and then said coldly:
"As a chef, if you don't even bring a pot, what do you call yourself a chef? Come, give away everything without a pot."
"Ah..." These chefs who didn't bring a pot were dumbfounded.
When they came in before, they saw several chefs bringing pots and pans, and they looked down upon them.
This is Jin Mansion.
You need to bring your own pot when cooking in Jinfu? Isn’t this stupid?
Now they understand that there are indeed stupid people, but they are not others, but themselves.
Ding Huan found that besides him, there were only six people here who brought pots.
Several people who were kicked out were even looking back at Ding Huan because Ding Huan didn't bring a pot.
But Ding Huan's actions disappointed them the next moment. Ding Huan opened his backpack, and he actually took out a pot inside the backpack.
Even the woman nodded appreciatively at this action.
Only those who have a deep love for the profession of chef will carry their pot with them in their backpack at all times.
Several other chefs had already begun to select ingredients, and Ding Huan discovered that the meat here was all monster meat, and some of the higher-grade monster meat.
Ding Huan took a fancy to a piece of Tianxiang rabbit meat. When he was about to get the Tianxiang rabbit meat, a chef who was closer to the Tianxiang rabbit took action in time and took away the Tianxiang rabbit meat.
Ding Huan saw that the chef had already taken a piece of venison and then came for rabbit meat. Obviously he didn't want him to get the piece of rabbit meat.
At this moment, Ding Huan only had two words in his mind, idiot.
He didn't scan with his spiritual mind, but he was sure that the lady was paying attention to everything here.
If he has to entrust someone to cook his meals in the future, he will also pay attention to the cook.
Ding Huan didn't bother to grab this piece of Tianxianglou. When he was about to change it for a piece of meat, he suddenly saw a vegetable that looked like cabbage.
Ding Huan knew this dish, it was called Qianjia dish.
Ding Huan ate Qianjia cuisine in Jihe City, and he even bought it and cooked it himself.
This kind of dish is very cheap, and it is what ordinary people eat the most, so it is called Qianjiacai, which is regarded as Chinese cabbage from another world.
Qianjiacai, like cabbage, has the advantage that it can dissolve greasiness and cleanse the stomach.
Different from Chinese cabbage, the roots of this vegetable are green, the middle is yellow, and the top is white.
Ding Huan did not hesitate, he took this piece of Qianjia Cai in his hand.
Given the conditions of the Jin Mansion, the young lady named Guanai must be eating all kinds of monster meat every day.
Eating too much monster meat will make her feel greasy, so why not get her some vegetables to relieve her greasiness.
Among the seven chefs, only Ding Huan chose pure vegetables.
Although other chefs also choose vegetables, they all use meat as the main ingredient and vegetables as auxiliary ingredients to make dishes.
When it came to choosing dishes, Ding Huan's choice was considered a success because he attracted almost everyone's attention.
Making monster meat, everyone eats it every day and looks at it every day, and they have long been tired of it.
On the other hand, Ding Huan simply chose Qianjia cuisine. Everyone wanted to know what tricks Ding Huan could make.
Ding Huan placed the pot on the portable stove, scooped some water and washed the pot three times.
This action made the woman hosting the cooking competition nod.
Among those participating in the cooking competition here, Ding Huan was the only one who washed the pot three times.
Others just wiped it lightly with water, and one even greased the pot directly without washing it. At first glance, you can tell that he is used to living in the wild, so he cannot be a chef at all.
Ding Huan calmly separated the Qianjiacai, cut it into sections, and washed it several times.
Even the maids could tell that Ding Huan loved cleanliness more than other chefs.
For those who cook meat, almost no one washes it, they just cut it and start cooking.
The fact is that the maids don't understand, but the woman hosting the competition does.
If these monster meats are to be cooked, the most taboo thing is to wash them with water.
Because once washed, the vitality will be lost.
Even though she knew this was the case, the woman hosting the competition still disliked the other chefs.
Food is just for eating, what should we do to preserve our vitality?
After finishing this, Ding Huan did not start cooking immediately, but waited for Qianjia Cai to drain.
In fact, the real reason is that Ding Huan knows that his dish will be finished in one minute at most. If this kind of vegetables is completely cold, it will be chewy in the mouth and not delicious.
And those chefs who cook meat will definitely not cook it so quickly, they have to wait.
When he felt that the time was almost up, Ding Huan turned on the stove and put the pot on.
After the pot is hot, add clear oil to the pot. After the oil is hot, Ding Huan pours the Qianjia vegetables cut into sections into the pot and starts to stir-fry.
Now everyone was speechless.
Ding Huan has always been the most eye-catching before, but finally it happened like this?
When the oil is hot, add the vegetables and fry?
If you have to hire a chef, the chef would be great.
What is this called cooking? You can cook it well if you have hands.
In just one minute, everyone watched blankly as Ding Huan started loading the dishes.
Is this good?
If you don’t count the time Ding Huan waited, how long did it take before and after washing the vegetables and pots to make this dish?
While everyone was still confused, a girl with a veil covering her face walked in.
"Miss." Everyone greeted the girl respectfully when they saw her coming in.
The person who came in was the young lady from the Jin Mansion, Guanai. That is to say, she needed a chef to cook on the way to the Taoist sect.
The other chefs quickly accelerated the cooking speed.
Although Ding Huan did not use his spiritual thoughts to sweep away, he knew very well that this woman must have been watching from the side just now.
Seeing that his food was ready, he came in on time to check it out.
Maybe after this woman came in, she made the other masters speed up.
Soon, all seven chefs, including Ding Huan, had prepared the dishes.
"Miss, the dishes are all ready now. I'll have them served to you, okay?" the middle-aged woman who was hosting the competition asked quickly.
Guanlai nodded: "Okay, go and serve it."
Seven plates of food were placed in front of Guanlai, and even the others couldn't help but cast their eyes on Ding Huan's plate of stir-fried Qianjia dishes.
Despite the simplicity and simplicity of Ding Huan's stir-fry, this dish looks really good. Yellow, green and white seem to be in just the right place on this plate.
With some sparkle, it gives people a pleasing feeling.
"Okay, you go out and wait for the notice."
The middle-aged woman said to Ding Huan and others.
All the chefs quickly packed up their things and walked out of the hall. Ding Huan also put the pot into his bag and walked out.
After everyone left, Guannai gently lifted the gauze scarf, took a piece of Qianjia cuisine and put it into her mouth.
Obviously, she had long wanted to come in and try the Qianjia cuisine cooked by Ding Huan.
As for the dishes prepared by the other chefs, she had long been tired of them, and none of them were distinctive.
The manager was so cheap that he actually found a bunch of losers like this to apply for jobs as chefs.
Qianjia Cuisine brings a light fragrance to the entrance. When you take a bite, a slight crispness comes, and a familiar but unfamiliar taste completely penetrates into the taste buds.
I was stunned, ordinary vegetables can actually produce such a delicious taste?
I'm afraid this person's cooking skills are superb and he has returned to his original nature, right?
Then Guanai took a few big bites again, and soon the plate of Qianjia dishes was missing more than half.
"Miss, would you like to try these plates of meat?"
When the middle-aged woman saw that the young lady only ate Qianjia food, she couldn't help but say something to the side.
Guanlai put down the chopsticks:
"Call in the chef who cooks Qianjia cuisine, and send the rest away."
The middle-aged woman was stunned. It seemed that the young lady hadn't eaten the rest of the dishes yet. So it was decided?
But she naturally didn't talk much, so she quickly said:
"yes."
Ding Huan and the other six chefs were still waiting, when someone came out.
Everyone saw clearly that the woman who was hosting the competition came out, and everyone looked at this woman nervously.
The woman pointed at Ding Huan:
"You are hired, follow me in, and the rest can leave."
Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally done.
Chapter completed!
