“The average score of Master Shen’s self-selected dish, ‘Serving with Ribbons,’ is only 80? And the dish designated by the judges is deep-fried and crispy!”

After receiving the news, Gu Yanan let out a long sigh. The Jiuzhou tripod was finished, and he was destined to be demoted to the star.

Facing five picky professional judges, it would be even harder to get full marks for the crispy fried rice! Not to mention Shen Gongdao, even if she really invited Wang Haibin, the master of Shandong cuisine, she would still be at a loss.

This is basically a dead end. Wang Haibin can't break it, and the same goes for Zhou Dong; he performed well in the breakfast department, and the knife skills shown in the video are also extraordinary, but so what?

A dead end is a dead end. Unless the God of Cooking comes down to earth, no one can solve it!

"Xiao Zhou, I'm embarrassed this time, or I should just give up..."

Shen Gongdao, the big fat man who was always cheerful on weekdays, had a grimace on his face, as if he had been drained of his energy in an instant. He smoked the Chinese cigarettes that his disciples paid homage to, one by one, and he was so distracted that he even forgot about Zhou Dong.

He was a non-smoker, so he had to pass cigarettes to Zhou Dong two or three times.

"Teacher Shen, that's what I think.

If we don’t give up, there might be a chance, but if we give up, there will really be no chance at all.”

Zhou Dong pushed away the flue offered by Shen Gongdao for the third time: "I don't smoke."

It's a pity that the vegetable washing skill has not reached the legendary level, otherwise he would have been very confident. Now even Zhou Dong himself feels a little unsure.

After all, it’s a full score of fried and crispy... Even if any of the five judges were to do it, would the other four be able to give full marks? It’s probably difficult!

"Well said! I have been practicing justice for decades. I can be beaten to death, but I cannot be scared to death! Just for this chance, I fought hard!"

Shen Gongdao stomped out the cigarette butt, turned around and went into the kitchen: "Zhou Dong, I'd like to trouble you to get on the chopping board. The linen flower knife must have a thick bottom. Everything is up to you!"

Teacher Shen still has some skills.

When Zhou Dong heard that the Azabu Flower Knife had a thick bottom, he knew that Shen Gongdao must have some special knowledge about how to control the heat of this dish.

The ingredients used for fried double crispy are actually simple. Apart from several common side dishes, the main ingredients are pork belly and chicken gizzards. Sheep tripe and duck gizzards are also used in the south, but in Shandong cuisine, pork and chicken double crispy must be used.

The difficulty is not in the ingredients, but in the control of the knife skills and the heat. If the knife skills are not good enough, the chef will lose accuracy in judging the heat. If it is too high, it will not be crispy, and if it is too low, it will be undercooked, so it is extremely difficult.

In order to be able to absorb the flavor and make the heat more controllable, pork belly and chicken gizzards must be 'opened' with a linen flower knife. It is important to penetrate the knife into the bottom without cutting it off. This is called leaving the bottom, otherwise it will become a fried mixture.

.

In order to facilitate control, most ordinary chefs will keep the base as thin as possible. However, if the base is too thin, it will be easier to add flavor and control the heat, but it will be much inferior in terms of "crispy".

What is the most important thing about double-crispy fried food? Of course it is the word crispy.

Shen Gongdao also worked hard. He asked Zhou Dong to leave the thick bottom in order to improve the taste of this dish as much as possible, but it would also increase the difficulty of making this dish. If the heat is not controlled well, he might end up making a dish.

The garbage is worse than even a roadside stall!

But no matter what, Zhou Dong admired his courage to fight against the odds and couldn't help but said: "Teacher Shen, in addition to the chopping board, let me wash the pork belly and chicken gizzards with my own hands."

Shen Gongdao is a good person, he dares to take risks at critical moments, he is a man!

Even if it's not for system tasks, this kind of person deserves Zhou Dong's full help.

"It would be great if you come and wash the dishes."

Shen Gongdao is also a prince of Jiuzhou Dingshi. Zhou Dong was favored by Chef Su and was promoted to the breakfast department, but was left by Lao Liu. It is now a joke; it is said that Zhou Dong is an expert in washing vegetables, and Su

Chef Shang Shicheng and Lu Luxin once suspected that he was a descendant of the 'Jing' sect.

"If the legend is true, maybe there is a glimmer of hope."

Shen Gongdao was a sensible person and immediately asked everyone at Lu Chushuitai to leave and gave Zhou Dong an independent space, which saved Zhou Dong a lot of trouble.

The perfect level of dishwashing is different from before. The mysterious light spots transformed into appreciation points improve the already top-grade pork belly and chicken gizzards at an extremely fast speed.

Zhou Dong returned to the chopping board, took out the custom-made kitchen knife given by Lu Luxin, and started the perfect knife skill mode for half a minute regardless of the consumption of appreciation points.

Really good knife skills!

Standing aside and watching the waiting, Shen Gongdao was beaming with excitement. When Zhou Dong's 'grandmaster-level' sword skills displayed on the chopping board that day reappeared in front of his eyes, he was still a little excited.

Cut the chicken gizzards into slices, take the crispiest part of the inner layer and reserve it; take the thickest part of the pork belly, remove the upper and lower skin layers, leaving the center part.

After the initial processing, the light of the knife in Zhou Dong's hand was flying without any stagnation, and the linen flower knife really appeared in his hand.

When ordinary chefs use this kind of knife technique, they usually have to slow down and even use dragging, pulling and other techniques to assist. However, Zhou Dong is still as relaxed and carefree as cutting shredded potatoes. In the flick of the knife, one portion is fried with oil and double crispy.

The main materials have been sorted out by him.

"With a cutting board like you, I feel more confident!"

What a great knife skill! Every chef knows how to use the Azabu katana knife, but there are only a few people who can really control it well.

If you use a knife too densely, the ingredients will lose their tension, and even the master chef, Nuwa, who knows how to mend the sky, will be blinded.

If the knife is too thin, it will not only look ugly, but also make it difficult to taste and control the heat.

In the past, even if Shen Cheng was the chopping block, there would always be problems of one kind or another, making Shen Gongdao unable to have 100% certainty and confidence.

But not only was Zhou Dong's pre-processing of the ingredients nearly perfect, but his linen flower knife was also flawless. Shen Gongdao, a second-level technician, suddenly had the confidence to be a first-level technician!

I even had a trace of delusion: Maybe I can get full marks and make a comeback?

When he thought of Mr. Gu, who should have been completely disappointed by now, smiling like a flower when he arrived, and when he thought that he had become a figure in the legend of Kyushu Dingshi, Shen Gongdao's eyes seemed to become brighter.

Turn on the heat, heat the pan, add oil, add ingredients, and turn the pan!

Shen Gongdao is not alone at this moment!

Yi Yin is behind him, Yi Ya is in front of him, Duke Taihe, Su Dongpo, Madam Liu, Song Wusao, Dong Xiaowan, Xiao Meiren... He is not fighting alone!

The 'Double Crispy' with a faint golden light comes out of the pan piping hot.

Shen Gongdao personally held the food plate and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, let's go!"

When he came out of "Shiya Township" before, he looked like a wounded warrior.

At this moment, he is like a proud general, going to welcome his own great victory!

"OK."

Zhou Dong nodded and walked with Shen Gongdao.

Unlike Shen Gongdao, he felt a little uneasy. In fact, he had just thought about finishing this dish by himself, but Shen Gongdao's regained confidence made him unable to say it out loud.

"Forget it. With my perfect dish-washing and knife skills, Teacher Shen should still have some chances to pass, right?
