God of Cookery, I want to feed you a bag of salt

In the background, Gu Chengyi filled in the words "Guo's Old Store" in the "Representative Unit" column of the registration form.

"Yo! The Guo family hasn't come to the competition for several years!" The organizer looked at the beautiful font on the paper, and looked up and down at the energetic young man in front of him.

Hmm...Although they are both descendants of the Guo family, compared to Guo Nan a few years ago, Gu Chengyi is more composed. He is in his early twenties, and his eyes lack the frivolity that should be at this age .

After signing up, the organizer gave him a number plate for the competition.

"Number seven." When Gu Chengyi was wearing the apron, Bai Sichen glanced at the exquisitely designed sign. The number on it was very familiar to Bai Sichen, "This is my lucky number."

Gu Chengyi glanced at the number, "Well, it seems that we should be able to win the prize this time."

There are a total of ten shops participating in this competition, and two or three of them, like Guo's, have stood on Xinglong Street for more than a hundred years.Although the business is not as good as Guo's on weekdays, it has its own inherited cooking skills.

Most of the contestants on stage are old masters in their 40s and [-]s. Years of oil fumigation made their complexions turn yellow, and their slightly fat belly is a sign of entering middle age.All of them have worked in the kitchen for more than ten years, and their cooking skills are top-notch, if not top-notch.

Gu Chengyi, who was standing in the back row, was just a kid in his 20s.The slightly immature face looks like a fledgling, who hasn't smelled much fireworks yet.As everyone knows, such a little boy has been wandering among the kitchen utensils for many years.

Even before the game started, some people in the audience began to discuss:

"Do you think Mrs. Guo can win?"

"It's hard to say, there was a 'prodigy' Guo Nan who won the championship for five years. As for this kid... tsk tsk, it's hard to say!"

"What does Mrs. Guo think? Let such a brat come? I'm not afraid of smashing my own brand, haha!"

"My senior brother's cooking skills are much better than Guo Nan's." Bai Sichen couldn't listen to those outsiders gossiping, how could outsiders like Gu Chengyi's cooking skills be questioned by them?

He didn't know where it came from, his words made everyone who was discussing shut up, and they looked at each other in blank dismay.

At the critical moment, Bai Sichen still chose Gu Chengyi.

"My senior brother will definitely be able to take the first place, and the dishes he cooks must be the best!"

The competition hadn't started yet, and the "topic" of the competition was placed on the table in the middle of the stage, covered by a white curtain, blocking everyone's curiosity.

The other contestants looked around bored, occasionally touching the brand new kitchen utensils on the table, and occasionally looking at other ingredients on the shelf next to them.Gu Chengyi, on the other hand, calmly rubbed the knife with the sharpening stick.

The quality of dishes also has a lot to do with knives.Only sharp knives can ensure that the characteristics of the ingredients themselves are not destroyed.

"Crack!"

The blade in Gu Chengyi's hand was rubbing back and forth on the whetstone, and his unconscious frown was filled with his concentration.

Looking up suddenly, he found that Bai Sichen's eyes had been staring at him.The trusting gaze made Gu Chengyi feel more at ease.Bai Sichen clenched his fist and made a gesture of "Come on", just for him, Gu Chengyi must win this match.

With the end of the hot music, the cooking competition kicked off.

The host walked to the front of the stage, and after making some opening remarks, he held the two corners of the white cloth with both hands and pulled it hard.

"Shh!"

On the table was a huge wooden board covered with ice, and on top of the ice lay a dozen pieces of sliced ​​fish.The snow-white flesh is mixed with bright red blood, and the cold air rising from the bottom of the fish carries the smell of the deep sea.

"This time, the topic of our food competition is: Cod!"

Cod is one of the ingredients that will test the cooking skills of the cook. Because the meat is fresh and tender, it has high requirements on the heat when cooking, and if it is overcooked, it will have a smell of burnt.

Not only that, the knife skills are also tested when handling cod. If there is no skill, the fish will be cut into pieces, which will also affect the subsequent cooking.

Such deep-sea fish is a favorite of many western restaurants, but for those old shops on Xinglong Street, it is really a problem.

Cod is seldom used in traditional Chinese dishes. Most of the centuries-old restaurants serve the top ten cuisines of Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Huaiyang, Fujian, Guangdong and Xiangben. Occasionally, cod is fried and grilled like a western restaurant.

When everyone was stunned and didn't know how to cook, Gu Chengyi first walked to the table and picked out two pieces with fresher meat.

Only Bai Sichen knew that this topic was a piece of cake for Gu Chengyi.

Gu Chengyi's favorite food is fish, what kind of fish has he never eaten?Most of the fish cooked in Western restaurants outside did not suit his taste, so Gu Chengyi often went to the vegetable market to buy some fish and came back to study cooking methods by himself.

Cod was one of the first fish he came into contact with.As for cooking methods, at least I have researched as many as ten kinds by myself.

But this time, which one should be used to win?

To be fair, all knives are brand new.When cutting fish, those confident chefs immediately encountered difficulties: the knives looked sharp, but they were not sharpened. When cutting meat, they had to cut back and forth several times before they could cut it.

Then look at Gu Chengyi next to him, the fish was easily separated with a single knife, and the clear texture was not damaged at all.

Because I seldom cook cod, I don’t have a clue for a while. You look at me and I look at you. Finally, I simply took out the casserole and chose fish soup...

Gu Chengyi put the prepared green onion on the pan, put the fish on it and poured two spoons of sake.

"laugh!"

The fish meat quickly became firm under high-temperature cooking. Gu Chengyi took out a spoon and dipped it in seven or eight kinds of seasonings a few times, and stirred it gently in the pot. The surface of the fish meat was covered with a layer of light brown soup. Get up and exude a strong fragrance.

Following Gu Chengyi's example, the other chefs also fried the fish in the pan.They had just left the pot, and it didn't take long for the fish to stick to the bottom of the pot, and the burnt smell overwhelmed them.

An hour of cooking time passed quickly, and everyone reached the final finishing stage.

"Countdown, the last ten seconds!"

Everything is ready, only the final distribution is left.The cooked fish should be divided into [-] parts, and the staff will select the tasters from the audience, and they will vote to decide the winner.

five!

Four!

three!

……

STOP!

Following the host's order, everyone stopped cooking.When Gu Chengyi raised his hands, the audience in the audience looked for Bai Sichen's figure. The moment he saw him, his hanging heart settled down.

There are a total of ten dishes, five of which are cod soup, and an old shop that sells skewers makes grilled cod skewers, and the remaining three are fried cod that imitated Gu Chengyi's cooking.

Twenty public judges came to the stage to taste the prepared dishes one by one.Almost everyone who walked past Gu Chengyi was full of praise, even the few people who were discussing behind Bai Sichen just now looked at Gu Chengyi in disbelief and gave their thumbs up .

In the end, Gu Chengyi won the championship with a unanimous vote of "twenty votes"!

"Wow!"

At the moment when the result was announced, Bai Sichen jumped up excitedly.The senior brother did not disappoint himself!His champion is really well-deserved!

After many years, Guo once again won the championship of the food competition.Those doubts about the cooking level of Guo's old restaurant were wiped away when Gu Chengyi held the trophy.The boy standing on the podium is even more talented than before!

Back in the store, Bai Sichen held the championship trophy and rubbed it fondly.

In Gu Chengyi's eyes, it was just a small prize.He returned to the kitchen calmly, took out the marinated beef and prepared it for frying.It's as if you haven't participated in this game.

Looking carefully at the trophy, I found that the wooden base of the trophy was scratched by something.Although the location is not very obvious, but if you look carefully, it is really flawless.

"Brother, where is the oil crayon?" Bai Sichen shouted at Gu Chengyi in the kitchen.

Oil crayon can fill in that scratch, and the same color can temporarily repair after filling.Put it on for a while, until the oil wax completely melts into the scratches, and it is exactly the same as the wooden base.

"Do you see if it's with the master? He took it away yesterday and used it."

Bai Sichen ran to the takeaway stall and opened the drawer. There were kraft paper bags for packing and a lot of change in it.

Wait, there seems to be something rectangular next to those coins.

Picking it up and looking at it, Bai Sichen couldn't help but gasp in fright.

It's a silver flash drive!

The author has something to say:

Food Tips: Cod will have a fishy smell when it is made, because it is a deep-sea fish, you can marinate it with white vinegar in advance to remove the fishy smell and make the fish more firm
