Interstellar Chef Raising a Baby - v2 Chapter 175

The wrinkles on Cai Mingkun’s old face trembled, “What did you say? The judges said I lost?”

“Yes, teacher.” The student’s voice was low.

“Impossible, this is impossible! You just said that they didn’t taste the taste? How can I say that I lost if I didn’t taste the taste? Could it be that the things I made don’t even have the qualifications to be tasted?” black.

This year’s judges, have they received red envelopes?

Can you say he lost without tasting the cooking skills?

Cai Mingkun was shaking both hands, “Who are the judges this year?”

His attitude changed drastically in an instant.

He thought that the judges had judged him to win, but he was still complacent and took it for granted.

But now that he loses, the judges instantly turned into red envelopes.

The students did not dare to distort any facts, and honestly told what they saw.

He hesitated and said what the judges had said.

“What? The master made a move and defeated me in one move?”

“They said that only when he dies and can’t make pastry, can I become the first person in pastry again?”

“This is saying that I will never be able to surpass him!?”

Cai Mingkun became more angry as he listened, and in the end he couldn’t sit still.

He wanted to go to the side to have tea and rest, but what else is he drinking now?

Cai Mingkun threw the scarf on the cooking table, “Let’s go, I’m going to see it myself. What kind of work I’ve beaten with a single move. If I can’t tell you why, I’ll quit this exchange contest. !”

At the level of a master, there is no need to compete with the juniors for rankings. It is more to establish authority for the exchange meeting, and even to support the younger generation.

Cai Mingkun has been recognized as the first person in pastry five or six years ago. In recent years, he has participated in exchange meetings to give face to the food association.

As long as his photos hang on the wall of a restaurant, this pastry restaurant will be very popular. He does not need to rely on this ranking to win the competition to attract more diners and recognition in the circle.

But today he was indeed so angry that he wanted to lift the table and leave.

“Where is that man’s work?”

When he went, the judges had moved to the cold vegetable area next to him to evaluate.

Cai Mingkun didn’t have the face to chase after him, but when the students said that he didn’t know which work the judges liked, he wandered around the review table.

He has been immersed in pastry for many years, and his profound knowledge is enough to serve as a judge.

Many people’s works are not perfect enough, and he can see at a glance the lack of waking up and facial expression, and even the defects of appearance.

He frowned while turning.

“This noodle is good, you can tell it is very strong just by looking at it, but this soup base…” Cai Mingkun raised his chopsticks, frowning when he smelled the taste, “There is still room for diligence.”

“Roasted naan, the skin is golden, it smells a bit cumin, it should be an improved version, but this is similar to my flat peach…”

Cai Mingkun didn’t say anything, but the students next to him also realized it.

Roasted naan and pan peach are obviously not a style. The former is drastic, and the latter is delicate and exquisite.

If it is used as a test, the former’s innovation and meaning are obviously slightly weak, and it is unlikely that it will be better than Cai Mingkun’s pastry techniques for decades.

Cai Mingkun turned halfway around, almost able to pick out some of the faults in the work, but his eyebrows became more frowning and tightened.

It is the level.

He can find obvious flaws in these works because he has a higher level than these chefs.

So, his works are considered subordinate without tasting, is it also because the level of the works is far beyond one’s own?

If such a high-level work really appears, he can see it at a glance.

Cai Mingkun already had some guesses in his mind.

But when he saw a dinner plate placed in an incubator at the corner, the whole person still seemed to be punched, and he unconsciously took a step back.

This group of snacks was not placed on the table, it was the only one still in the incubator.

I don’t know if it is because of the staff’s intention to protect it, it is completely placed in an incubator to isolate the outside air.

However, through the transparent glass, Cai Mingkun can still see a corner of it that shocks the soul!

“Sixi dumplings… this is an ancient palace recipe, he actually got such an ancient recipe.”

Cai Mingkun looked at the brightly colored yellow, purple, pink, and green dumplings perfectly laid out in the four small dumplings in the southeast, northwest and northwest. The shape alone felt impeccable.

The meaning of such ancient prescriptions can be reproduced even beyond innovation.

But if it was just like this, he wouldn’t lose to the ground, and he didn’t even have the strength to resist.

Inside this incubator, there are things that stand like a mountain, so that he can’t compete with it at all.

Begonia flowers.

Once the remaining makeup is faded from the plum powder, apply the new red Shanghai Tang.

The long branches bend down, the buds are red and bright, like a bit of rouge, and the petals are pink, like a butterfly flying from it.

“What a pair of Haitangxia butterfly pictures…” Cai Mingkun ran directly back into the display stand, shocked.

Fortunately, he was supported by the students in time, so he didn’t fall.

“There has always been a saying that cold dishes are elegantly presented, but I didn’t expect to see it today, and the pastry is a picture!”

“teacher?”

Cai Mingkun’s outstretched hand only shook, it seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms, but he still pointed to the past to explain to the students, “He used syrup to outline the strong branches, and then pointed out the flying butterflies among the flowers, and this one A Begonia flower is golden and pink. It overwhelms a branch and blooms beautifully. It has become a painting on the dinner plate.”

“Exquisitely beautiful, this is a masterpiece, a masterpiece!”

Cai Mingkun swept away the anger and indignation on his face. At this moment, he was only convinced, and even obvious respect.

“Who said that pastry cannot be broken?”

“Who said that Eastern chefs are extremely weak in arranging dishes?”

“Who said that a hundred years is enough for the chef industry?”

Shaking his hands excitedly, he opened the incubator in front of him.

“Look, you see, we have such exquisite masterpieces in the East. There is no end to learning and endless cooking!”

Cai Mingkun’s wrinkles all over his face turned out to be a lot younger at this moment, “I lost.”

“Although Pan Tao means delicacy in the fairy world and has won this mortal crabapple, but this is vivid, complete, and enough to evoke the beauty on paper, I am not as good as him!”

“Lost… I really don’t have to taste it. Just like this, I lost to this master.”

“Liao Wei, help me ask where this master is now. I’m going to visit him in person and apologize to him sincerely.” Cai Mingkun grabbed his student and hurriedly drove him to find someone. If you can’t find it, ask the organizing committee.”

The student nodded quickly, but just as he was about to leave, a clear and intoxicating blue was caught in the corner of his eye.

“Teacher, there is another work in the incubator!”

Cai Mingkun was taken aback, and immediately smiled bitterly, “Yes, I have forgotten it, but you young people have a good memory.”

He was obviously forgotten in shock.

But when the student respectfully took out a small piece of dinner plate inside, his breathing seemed to stop at this moment.

The whole work presents a perfect egg-shaped oval, standing obliquely on the dinner plate.

Inside… a whole small world is closed!

“This is, this is the starry sky, the sky is the sky and the sky is the earth?”

Cai Mingkun almost grabbed the dinner plate in the student’s hand.

“This pure blue, from light to dark, gradually changing, looks exactly like crystal glass, how can it be done?”

If the Sixi dumplings and crabapple flowers in the front are still at the height that Cai Mingkun can reach, it’s just that he hasn’t reached it temporarily. Then this oval piece completely shattered his cooking concept.

“Teacher, does this also use flour? It’s so clear and transparent that it’s impossible to use flour?”

Cai Mingkun could no longer answer the students’ questions.

This pastry surpassed all his knowledge system.

If he was allowed to practice behind closed doors for ten years, it would be impossible for him to create such a broad-minded work!

He lost here.

Cai Mingkun understood it almost instantly.

Why don’t the judges have to taste it? If he is himself, he will never taste the pastry works of anyone else.

As long as the sky can be eaten by such a party, then it is the innovation of pastry in the past 100 years, and it is impossible to be defeated by any other pastry with a recipe!

Cai Mingkun stared at the egg, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

And Liu Weiwei is still introducing her own man to the cooking method of this beautiful work.

“it’s actually really easy.”

“I used a needle to pierce a small hole in the egg, slowly poke a little out of the eggshell, pour out the egg liquid, wash it and dry it.”

“Then make the four gradient colors of the inside scenery one by one, the deep blue sky bean curd layer, the light blue sky layer, the milk floating cloud layer in the middle, and the red bean soil layer at the end.

Use purified water, Hantian powder, butterfly pea pollen or red beans that are also edible for dyeing, and seasoned honey for one layer at a time. Put them in a pot and mix well. Turn on a low heat and cook until it is thick. Stir and scrape off. The bubbles that have emerged are poured into the empty egg shells in the order of color, and then placed in the frozen layer after cooling. “

“After setting the shape, peel off the egg shells of the dough, and sprinkle a little edible gold powder on it, turning it into a sky full of stars. The tall blue sky yokan is made.”

Liu Weiwei took a look at the photos of her work, and the Yan Value Party was still very satisfied with the results of this cooking.

“The point is that it’s not sweet either. I will make it later and I can try it again for you.”

Comrade major doesn’t like sweets.

Liu Weiwei held the meat buns and shared the fun of cooking with him with joy.

Comrade Qin Mo also likes to listen to this now. He only thinks that any message from his young wife’s pink lips is full of cuteness.

“Okay. I’ll hold Roubao, he is getting heavier and heavier.”

“It’s okay, I also have muscles now~”

“Okay, it feels good.”

“…”

This time, Liu Weiwei felt it was worth it. Not only did Xiao Bai Xiaohei make progress, but her relationship with the major had reached a higher level.

And being able to see the level of other chefs in the world is obviously also very valuable.

She enjoys it.

After the game, she ate another piece of cheesecake and served it with American coffee contentedly.

The slightly astringent bitterness is a perfect match for sweet and soft snacks without adding any calorie guilt.

By the way, holding the meat buns to exercise the biceps and increase the consumption, it is obviously perfect.

When she saw that the time was almost time, she returned to the scene and found that the judges’ desk was in chaos.

Many people crowded together, not knowing what they were discussing, blushing or having no arms, they were very excited.

Major Qin wore sunglasses and guarded her like a bodyguard.

And Liu Weiwei tied the bun in front of her.

“Excuse me, did the first match result come out?” She asked someone randomly.

Coincidentally, the woman she asked was also a female chef, who was able to set up her hair and was a little skinny.

“It’s already out, but…can’t squeeze in.” The female chef smiled bitterly, “I heard that there was a very powerful work on the pastry side. Everyone was watching, and now they can’t squeeze in. The staff said We will post the results online later, and suggest that we check it out ourselves.”

Liu Weiwei was stunned, “It’s like this.”

“That work defeated Master Cai. I heard that the chef is very young, but I don’t know the details.” The female chef is obviously also gossiping. She just wants to watch if she doesn’t leave here.

Master Cai?

Liu Weiwei vaguely remembered that her opponent seemed to be Cai.

She touched the two little feet of the buns, looked at the crowds over there, which was too terribly crowded, and she retreated a little.

“Is this your child?” The female chef quickly noticed the meat bun on her breast.

Liu Weiwei smiled at her, “It’s okay. During the test, the child will be watched by his dad.”

After she finished speaking, she wanted to turn around and leave, but was soon blocked by someone.

“Chef Liu?!”

“Look! Yesterday the wicked female chef showed up.”

“Ah, where is it?”

“She is the one holding the baby!”

“So young? Isn’t it?”

The female chef next to Liu Weiwei was shocked, and the place where she stood became more crowded than the judges’ seat.

Soon, the female chef saw the famous pastry master Cai Mingkun, surrounded by people, walking toward them in a mighty manner.

“You are Chef Liu? Is the sea of ​​stars your work?”

Cai Mingkun could hardly believe his eyes.

According to the report of someone who witnessed the supreme swordsmanship yesterday, it was a young female chef who came with her child. Yesterday she had a dispute with Gao’s closed disciple. She was deliberately arranged to compete with him this morning and wanted her to be the first Lose in one game.

Pastry rookie, pastry genius, is this Chef Liu? Is this the female chef holding her baby in front of her?

Young is too much!

Cai Mingkun felt that she was younger than her little apprentice.

“The sea of ​​stars?” Liu Weiwei looked confused, and only reacted after a while, “You mean the starry sky red bean yokan?”

“Starry red beans?” Cai Mingkun repeated, nodding again and again, “I did get the taste of red beans. It really is based on the change of yokan.”

As he spoke, his expression gradually became solemn, and he walked forward in front of Liu Weiwei.

Wife guardian mad demon Qin Mo was already looking at him very upset, trying to stop him from approaching.

However, he didn’t expect Cai Mingkun to stop one meter in front of Liu Weiwei and bend down directly, just like a standard bow.

“The ancients said that if three people live, there must be my teacher.”

“Although I am not good at ancient Chinese, I also know the meaning of this sentence. I started learning pastry 16 years ago and thought that I had reached the peak of the mountain, but today I learned that it is just a frog at the bottom of a well.”

“Chef Liu, would you like to guide me?”

Liu Weiwei was completely stunned.

At the same time, she also heard the sound of the system being so cheap again.

[Progress of slap face task: Provoked and angered one hundred chefs (25/100) during the exchange meeting, and defeated ten chefs (2/10), and made more than fifty chefs yield (108/50). 】

[Congratulations, because of the superbly beautiful dim sum, I have captured the recognition of a pastry chef! 】

[Trigger a new task: Apprentice, do you dare to respond when I call your name? 】

[Turn the powerful old guys of the Food Association into your apprentices, won’t the Food Association be over soon~]

[Task requirements: Receive three special chefs as apprentices (0/3). 】

[Task reward: let the scumbag be ruined; 20 points of beauty; top skill book of pastry; top skill book of fire. 】

Liu Weiwei opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Others at the scene even thought they had misheard. Cai Mingkun used to be the first person in the pastry, and many people even thought he was the next president of the association. Now he wants to apprentice?

The object of apprenticeship is still such a young female chef!

With the weird gaze of the audience, Liu Weiwei immediately stepped forward to help the chef up, but recently, Major Qin, who likes to be jealous, took a step faster than her and lifted the Master Cai straight with one hand.

“Yes.” Liu Weiwei bit her head.

Cai Mingkun was happy and excited. He did not have the style of a master at all. “Teacher, I have eight apprentices under my name. When you have time, let them come and salute you. Today at noon, I will give a banquet for the teacher, and invite the teacher to come and enjoy it. “

Qian Jun, who had been paying attention to the scene by the side, realized that it was wrong since the judges got together. However, seeing the scene of apprenticeship now made him drop his chin.

“Teacher, do you need me to tell the chairman,” Cai Mingkun saw Liu Weiwei squinting at Qian Jun, and couldn’t help asking, “A person with such a lack of morality is completely unqualified to stand here. The teacher defeated me, behind You can not play.”

Liu Weiwei shook her head, “According to the rules of the exchange meeting, you can do whatever you want.”

She was too lazy to say a word for the scumbag. Just after watching Xiaobai and Xiaohei get together, she realized that cherishing the talents around her is the most important thing.

“I’m here to participate in the exchange meeting, it doesn’t matter how many times it is.”

If she doesn’t play, then her task will not be completed.

Eight more people have to be defeated.

She looked at the second show, “My next show seems to be a hot dish, the topic is seafood.”

After speaking, she couldn’t help frowning.

There were a total of three competitions today, even if they all won, plus the one last night, she only defeated four people, and she was still more than half away from the task.

“Can you change the rules?”

Cai Mingkun is also the honorary chef of the Association. He looked at her respectfully, “What advice does the teacher have?”

“The chefs compete in pairs. If they lose, they will go home. It’s unfair to some people who are not lucky enough. Why not, who wants to challenge me in the second game? I’m all waiting at the counter.”

“what?”

“There is no limit to the number of opponents, how about it?”

Cai Mingkun was stunned. His eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Liu Weiwei, “Teacher, yesterday I heard that you are proficient in knife skills. It seems that the cooking teacher of hot dishes is also very confident.”

Not only is he proficient in pasta dishes, but he can also cook other cuisines. In the chef circle, except for the old guys who live for a long time, there are very few others.

She is so young…

“Eh? No.” Liu Weiwei had a good face, glanced at the jealous eyes around her, feeling wronged to the point, “I am very weak in hot dishes. I can’t do it, I don’t have the strength. It’s good to want to win my second game. Chance”

“I’m better at pastry, really!”

Cai Mingkun:…

**

The second match was at one o’clock in the afternoon.

There is still time before lunch, and Cai Mingkun is going to cook a bowl of noodle soup by himself, ask Liu Weiwei for advice.

Liu Weiwei’s face is actually very thin, and she still knows that she respects the old and loves the young.

She was not embarrassed to let the elderly cook, so she ran to the back kitchen and made some special dishes.

It was originally a home-cooked dish for a big family, and Liu Weiwei didn’t mean to show off her skills.

She made the cumin beef that the major likes, and considering Cai Mingkun’s age, she stewed him with crispy fermented bean curd meat, plus the shepherd’s purse tofu soup that the major named and praised yesterday, and lettuce with shrimp, soy sauce, and meat buns Favorite minced meat and shrimp steamed egg.

Cai Mingkun brought the noodles out and saw a table of dishes.

“I ordered a hotel delivery?” His beard trembled.

Liu Weiwei has not changed her swaggering chef uniform, and the dishes on the table are simply exquisite.

Cai Mingkun has received a lot of receptions, and it is not the first time she has come to this hotel, but if Liu Weiwei cooks alone, she will move…too fast.

He just kneaded the noodles to wake up and made oily noodles.

“No, my husband said that I made it delicious,” Liu Weiwei was seldom ashamed. “Sit down first. He’s going to take a baby, and by the way, bring our pet back from the paradise for dinner.”

Cai Mingkun shook his hand. He was the first to learn cooking in his early years, and then he embarked on pastry training by mistake.

For stir-frying, we also understand.

If someone prepares the cuts for the chef and only uses the frying pan, it is indeed generally more than ten minutes for cooking.

But obviously, as long as she is alone in the hotel, she can complete five dishes and one soup in less than an hour?

“Ah, I also made rice,” Liu Weiwei smiled apologetically, “You are free, don’t be cautious.”

While talking, Comrade Major also came back, holding the meat bun with one hand, followed by Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai behind him. According to the interstellar rules, he needs to hold the dog leash, but Xiao Hei puts the dog leash in his mouth and holds himself. I slipped into the room.

Cai Mingkun was amazed, and immediately stuffed it back into his stomach, stood up and apologized again and again, “Chef Liu, I’m bothering you on vacation.”

The rhythm of dragging the baby with the pet is clearly from a vacation.

The dining time of other people’s families was completely destroyed by him.

Major Qin Mo was wearing sunglasses and his face remained cold.

Cai Mingkun was also embarrassed, “You **** noodles, I won’t stay for dinner.”

The one who was going to approve a banquet, now found it boring to ask for himself, he planned to withdraw, and it was really weird to stay in the room of someone else’s husband and wife.

“It’s okay, I’ve made all your dishes,” Liu Weiwei dragged the major to sit down, sprayed disinfectant on his hand, and handed him the chopsticks, “Eat together, don’t waste it.”

Cai Mingkun’s oil-spattered noodles, she used to make it herself.

The so-called Dao Zhi Jian, this one tastes a hand-made noodle, and you can immediately know the other party’s pastry skills, which is indeed the best she has ever seen.

Jindao’s taste is so extreme that even she can’t surpass it.

Excellent noodles, one piece can make people very satisfied, steaming to heal the soul that has been rough for a long time, whether it is a bite of cold in winter or a refreshing sweat in summer, it is an unparalleled sense of happiness.

“You have rubbed all the vicissitudes of life into the noodles, giving the soul of this bowl of noodles.” Liu Weiwei said with certainty, “This is the heart of the kitchen.”

Cai Mingkun looked excited, “Yes, yes… After seeing the teacher’s work, I finally understand that after Qianfan’s exhaustion, I almost forgot the heart of the kitchen. At the earliest, I just wanted to make a bowl of hot soup for me. The most important person to drink, such a mood.”

“Try my cooking~” Liu Weiwei smiled and pointed to the table.

Cai Mingkun has the excitement of finding his life friend and mentor.

He didn’t evade any more, and directly clamped a piece of fermented bean curd pork belly that was so tender and shaking. The crystal clear fat and skin were dyed with an intoxicating rose color, and the fragrance was fragrant.

When he put it in his mouth, tears soon fell on his face…

Kitchen heart.

At the moment when he put down his honor and was willing to call a young man a teacher, he picked it up again.

The taste that was almost no longer moving, I tasted a warm and tearful taste.

The fermented bean curd meat is full of the warmth of home, the skin is like a hard line of defense, the fat is like the comfort and softness of home, and the firm and sweet meat is the most important family to always support themselves and become the backing.

Cai Mingkun was in tears.

His students looked hesitant and at a loss what to do. He also ate a piece of fermented bean curd meat, and he felt it was so delicious that it melted in his mouth, but he did not shed tears.

Obviously, he hasn’t reached Cai Mingkun’s realm yet, and he is not as sincere as Cai Mingkun after he recovered his heart.

The simplest is often the most difficult.

The things that make people happy are actually around them.

The major even ate three bowls of rice in the evening, and the meat buns ate a custard by himself, which made his little cheeks all over, and was finally held by Xiao Bai and licked clean.

But Xiao Bai was soon dragged to the side by Xiao Hei, and was forced to eat the cumin beef on his plate…The rabbit was miserable.

Cai Mingkun smiled at all meals and ate half a bowl of rice more than usual, and his students almost hollowed out the last layer of the rice cooker.

Everyone was satisfied, and Liu Weiwei was in a very beautiful mood.
