Chapter 240 Try What I Made
Master Cheng heard everyone's discussion and couldn't help but look at Wang Jianye worriedly, thinking, is he really not familiar with this dish? Why hasn't he started yet?
The apprentice Fang Zhilang next to him whispered to Master Cheng, "Master, do you know what Master Wang's situation is like now? Can he still do it?"
Master Cheng frowned, just as he was thinking about how to open his mouth to help Wang Jianye out of the predicament.
Wang Jianye took action.
He first selected a suitable piece of pork belly.
Then use a knife to scrape off the grease on the pig's stomach, and rub the mucus on the stomach with salt and vinegar. After rubbing it clean, rinse it with clean water and drain it.
Wang Jianye, who has already reached a legendary level, is very skilled in making this dish.
After finishing the first step, I started the second step, which was to pick out a pork elbow, scrape off the remaining hair on the elbow and skin with a kitchen knife, blanch it in a pot of boiling water, take it out and wash it.
Then cut the soaked shiitake mushrooms and cleaned winter bamboo shoots into slices for later use.
The pig's stomach was drained at this time, so Wang Jianye mixed it with salt, scallion segments, ginger slices and peppercorns and marinated it.
After finishing all this, Wang Jianye took a large iron pot, poured the chicken soup he had prepared in advance into it, and then added onion slices, ginger slices, star anise, cinnamon, cooking wine, sugar, and salt.
Then put the processed pork belly and pork elbow into the pot and boil them. After the pot boils, Wang Jianye opens the lid, skims the foam on the surface with a spoon, turns to low heat, and slowly boils until it is 80% cooked.
Then he took out the pig's stomach and pork elbows, and waited for them to cool down. Then Wang Jianye cut the pork elbows into slices and put them into the basin together with the shiitake mushroom slices and winter bamboo shoots slices.
Add chopped green onion, minced ginger and five-spice powder, mix well and put into the pig's stomach. Seal the opening with a bamboo stick and put it into the pot to cook thoroughly.
Then take it out, cut it into slices and serve.
In this way, Wang Jianye made a legendary Luohan tripe.
[Ding, experience value +1]
[Ding, the state-class Arhat belly made by the host triggers a special effect, and life span is increased by one day. ]
Just a few minutes after Wang Jianye made this dish, Master Qian also finished making the dish and put it on a plate.
The two of them brought the dishes they had prepared to a table.
Master Cheng and other chefs who prepared state banquets gathered around and stared at the dishes on both sides.
The one on the left is by Wang Jianye, and the one on the right is made by Master Cheng. They look almost the same.
After Master Qian brought his dish over, he took off his apron and said to Wang Jianye:
"Young people should have some self-awareness and not think that they are too talented to be ignorant of the world.
I have eaten more salt than you have walked...
Come and try the dishes we made.”
After saying that, Master Qian just stood aside and watched. He had no interest in tasting Wang Jianye's dishes.
Because in his opinion, the dish made by Wang Jianye must be bad, even though it looks good.
But Master Qian believed that it was just a silver wax spear head and it would definitely taste terrible.
After all, when he was young, it took him half a year to practice this dish before he could master it to perfection. He has made many more dishes over the years and his skills have further improved to reach his current level.
It is almost impossible for the young man in front of him to surpass him in the dish of Luohandu.
Master Qian is very confident about this.
The other chefs first tried the dishes made by Chef Qian.
"Mmm! It's delicious."
"It's indeed Master Qian's specialty."
"It seems that since Master Luo is not here this time, Master Qian will have to come to the rescue."
"Yes, besides Master Qian, is there any other master here who can make this Luohandu so well?"
"..."
Master Cheng and his apprentice Fang Zhilang also tasted the Luohan tripe made by Master Qian.
"Master, this tripe made by Master Qian is really well made." Fang Zhilang said to Master Cheng.
Master Cheng also nodded and sighed, "Otherwise, how can we say that Master Qian and Master Luo are close brothers? This dish is both Master Luo's specialty and Master Qian's specialty."
Then, Master Cheng looked at Master Qian and said, "This time, I will have to rely on you, Master Qian, to save the day."
Master Qian was very satisfied and glanced at Wang Jianye, "Young man, how about you come and try my dish?"
"it is good."
Wang Jianye came over and took a bite, then frowned and gave his evaluation, "It's not good, it's far worse than mine."
"..."
The smile on Master Qian's face gradually disappeared.
Master Cheng was afraid that Master Qian would quit, so he quickly advised:
"Young people are ignorant and have not seen much of the world. Master Qian, please do not take it seriously. Master Luo is not here this time, so we still have to rely on you to come to the rescue and make this Luohan Du."
Master Qian snorted in dissatisfaction, "He said he can do it better than me, so let him do it this time. I'm not as good as him."
Master Chen looked at Wang Jianye and was about to say something when Wang Jianye pointed to the tripe he made and said, "Master Cheng, you are the referee. You haven't tasted the tripe I mentioned yet. How can you be sure that Master Qian's is better than mine?"
Master Qian looked at Master Cheng and said with a sneer, "Then Master Cheng, please try it and make this young man admit defeat sincerely."
Master Cheng had no choice but to come to the plate of Luohandu made by Wang Jianye and tasted it carefully.
Then my eyes lit up and I couldn’t help but cry while enjoying it.
Everyone who saw this scene was surprised.
"What's going on? Why is Master Cheng still crying?"
"Is this dish too unpalatable?"
"No matter how bad it tastes, it shouldn't be like this."
"..."
Seeing Master Cheng's reaction, Master Qian's confident expression gradually disappeared, and he turned into a stunned one, "Master Cheng, why are you crying?"
Master Cheng wiped his tears and nodded, "This is so delicious!"
"too delicious?"
"But no matter how delicious it is, it won't make you cry, right?"
"Is it better than what Master Qian made?"
"Master Cheng, you have seen the world, so you shouldn't be like this, right?"
"..."
Facing the crowd's confusion and confusion, Master Cheng pointed to the dish on the table, which was made by Wang Jianye, and said, "Try it, and you will know after you try it."
Many state banquet chefs tried it out of disbelief, and then...
"Um?!"
"This is so delicious!"
"Old man, I have never eaten such delicious Luohan tripe in my life, really."
"How did he make this? Why is it so much tastier than Master Qian's tripe?"
"The Luohan tripe he made is much better than Master Qian's. Even if Master Luo made this dish, he couldn't be better than him."
"..."
After hearing the sighs and surprises of many state banquet chefs, Chef Qian, who originally didn't want to try the tripe made by Chef Wang, finally couldn't resist his doubts and curiosity and walked over to take a bite.
