——Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is the finale, with rich flavor, and she also needs a clear soup with a long aftertaste as the finishing touch.
She wants to connect all the links and let the brain-dead princess know what it means to "overestimate one's own capabilities"!
What does it mean to hit an egg against a stone?
Luo Ran smiled sinisterly, and the small white teeth under the mask were very serious.
After selecting the ingredients and washing them, Luo Ran immediately started making an otherworldly version of simple tomato sauce.
First, he took two red tomatoes, blanched them in the boiling water that he had already ordered the maid to bring, peeled off the skin, then cut them into small pieces and put them in a bowl. Luo Ran directly handed them to Huangfuye's hand, confidently.
Request: "Mix it into juice."
——Now that he has picked up the embroidery needle, there is nothing wrong with being an artificial mixer. As for how he does it, she doesn't care. Anyway, he has great martial arts skills.
"Okay." Huangfu Ye smiled and left of his own accord.
"Your Highness, I..." Come on... The second chef, who was so shocked by the crystal dragon, finally remembered his duty when he saw this, and awkwardly stepped forward to take the sea bowl from Huangfu Ye's hand, but received a cold
His eyes were speechless and he was choked up on the spot. He rubbed his nose in despair and slipped to the side of the stove, where he and the two maids crowded together to watch the fire and make soy sauce.
——Your Highness, I made a mistake, and it will never hinder your performance in front of the princess in the future.
"Hot the pot, low heat." The princess looked over with a half-smile.
——Don’t ask him how he saw it, he just felt it.
The second chef felt aggrieved and went to act as a cook.
Soon, Huangfuye returned with the prepared tomato juice. Luo Ran rewarded him with an appreciative wink. He turned around and poured Huangfuye's prepared tomato juice into the pot, added sugar and starch, and ordered the depressed Er.
Keep the heat low until the tomato juice thickens, then remove from the pan and set aside for use.
After finishing this work, Luo Ran did not stop and continued to the next step.
She carefully took a piece of smooth and tender tofu and cut it into a dozen even and slightly thick slices - this is quite a test of knife skills. When cutting, you must not only be gentle but also fast, otherwise the tofu will break.
After cutting the tofu, Luo Ran wiped his hands, rolled up his sleeves to expose his snow-white wrists to prevent them from being stained with flour later, and then placed the cut tofu into a plate filled with dry flour, and spread the delicate white jade hands like flowers and leaves.
Gently flip it over and try to coat each fragile piece of tofu evenly with a layer of flour - your hands must be dry during this step, otherwise it will stick to your hands and cause the tofu to break apart.
After completing this step, Luo Ran let it go.
She casually raised her head to look at the work progress of the brain-dead princess across from her, and found that at least five luxurious dishes with all the colors, flavors, and flavors had been placed on the table.
And the brainless princess is still working hard, and the ingredients on the table next to the stove after being cut and washed are quickly decreasing - it looks like there are still about three dishes left.
And those three dishes are the stews with rich flavor that take the longest time.
Luo Ran calculated the time silently, squinted her eyes and smiled under the mask, as cunning as a little fox. To highlight the effect of her dish, she had to let the brainless princess cook in front of her, and her current progress was just right.
——When the last dish of the brain-dead princess comes out of the pot, she can just steam her five-flavor crystal dragon dish.
After finding a small purple clay pot that could hold six or seven bowls of soup, Luo Ran started to make the last clear soup - it actually didn't have any technical content. He just boiled the blood on the surface of the ribs with boiling water and put them in directly.
Fill the purple clay pot with boiling water, then add shredded ginger, winter melon, bamboo fungus, soybeans and other ingredients in sequence. Finally, close the lid and put the small purple clay pot on the small stove. Nothing will happen.
After doing all this, Princess Hailan's seventh dish is already cooking on the opposite side.
Luo Ran admired it leisurely, not showing any signs of being anxious, and Huangfu Ye was even more indifferent. He knew that since she dared to be so leisurely, she must have been fully prepared, and stared calmly and calmly.
Just leave it.
"Princess! Should we move faster?"
Seeing this, the second chef on Luo Ran's side suddenly became anxious. He was on her side. Seeing that the person opposite had already made seven luxurious dishes that looked very high-quality, their side
But there is not a single finished dish, so why is the princess not in a hurry!
"Look, we have only prepared so many dishes in total. Should we..."
"No, there's no need to rush. Let her serve the dishes first. We have plenty of time. She has eight dishes and I have seven dishes and one soup. She doesn't have an advantage at all in terms of quantity." Luo Ran interrupted him nonchalantly and turned around slowly.
Teng Teng walked to the tofu that had been prepared before, "Put in oil and heat the pan."
Seven dishes and one soup? Luo Ran's casual attitude miraculously calmed the second chef's impetuous mood. He was slightly stunned, and subconsciously glanced at the shocking crystal dragon, seeming to understand something, and thoughtfully
He showed a relaxed smile.
He remembered that she had said before that it was a 'five-flavored crystal dragon'.
Since there are five flavors, each flavor of this dish can be said to be a separate dish, and the five flavors are five flavors, or it can be said to be five flavors combined into one dish, and no one can fault it.
Add in a mysterious 'super hodgepodge', the tofu and soup that the princess is making, it can really be regarded as seven dishes and one soup. It is comparable to the other party.
The second chef's thoughts were racing, but his movements were not slow. In the blink of an eye, everything Luo Ran ordered was ready.
"Princess, it's ready."
"Well, okay." Luo Ran picked up the big spoon with one hand and the tofu with the other and was about to put it into the pot when he suddenly remembered something and glanced sideways at a man next to him who was doing nothing and looked particularly bored: "Your Highness, I have already cooked.
It’s almost done, you’d better go back to your seat and wait to taste it.”
——According to this man's overbearing and possessive personality, when her food is served, he will definitely eat it with the judges, and maybe he will wait for others to take a bite before eating the rest of the food.
Occupy...
Thinking of this, Luo Ran is like a black line. No, he must be stopped from doing this!
The dishes she cooked today were all tailor-made for the clan elders who had low appetites. Three dishes and one soup (also considered seven dishes and one soup) were linked together, and each dish was eaten in a few bites.
Neither of them can achieve the effect she wants. Although she won't lose, her win will definitely not be that beautiful!
She spent so much effort just to attack the brain-dead princess and let out a fierce breath. How could she destroy this man's possessiveness? No, absolutely not!
"Why, drive me away?" Huangfuye didn't know what she was thinking right now. He glanced at her sideways with his peerless eyes, stretched out his slender fingers and gently tapped the masked forehead on her face.
"Didn't you say that you want to arrange the next competition for me? How can you arrange it if you don't go away?" Luo Ran rolled his eyes at him angrily and lowered his voice, "Also, when the judging is later, you can try some
That’s fine, I’ll do the best for you when you get back, okay?”
What? This little woman is still hiding her strength at this time? Isn't she afraid that if the woman opposite her performs better than her, there will be another Princess Ping in the Regent's Palace? It seems that it is necessary for him to retrain | teach her...
...Huangfu Ye just raised his eyebrows and looked at her, his peerless eyes were deep and deep, shining with an extremely charming and dangerous light.
Luo Ran suddenly felt horrified and had an ominous feeling of being spied on.
"Okay. This is what you said." The corners of his lips curved with an incomprehensible grace, and Huangfu Ye turned around and left. Hum, Yun Luoran, I will settle the accounts with you after everything is over today!
Why did she feel that what he said was so profound and full of double entendres?
Moreover, this man... seems to be angry!? Why?
Luo Ran shivered excitedly, frowning and trying hard to recall whether he had said something wrong, but racking his brains he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Seeing that the last dish of the brainless princess on the opposite stove was almost finished, Luo Ran quickly shook his head, put the matter aside for the time being, and concentrated on pouring all the tofu in his hand into the boiling oil for frying.
While frying, use a large spoon to slowly stir the tofu in the pot to prevent the tofu from sticking together.
The moment the tofu cubes in the pot were fried to golden brown, Luo Ran quickly scooped up all the tofu cubes with a slotted spoon, drained off the oil and placed them on a clean white porcelain plate - making crispy tofu seems simple.
, but it is very difficult to cook it well, to make it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right heat. One of the reasons is the step of starting the pot. If you fry it for a second longer, it will be too old, and if you fry it for a second less, it will be under the skin.
The tofu is undercooked!
In his previous life, Luo Ran had to practice thousands of times before he could master the essence of this step.
Now that the tofu has been fried, the last step is to stir-fry the sauce.
Leaving a little hot oil in the pot, Luo Ran poured all the tomato sauce that had been cooked before, put some white vinegar, added some sugar, stir it a few times after boiling, scoop it up and pour it directly onto the fried tofu pieces.
, and immediately, a delicious crispy tofu with a sweet and sour smell and an eye-catching golden and red color was ready.
Letting out a gentle breath, Luo Ran quickly picked up the plate of five-flavored crystal dragon and walked to the steamer she requested before, carefully and gently putting the dish in it.
Here we go, finally this dish!!!
The second chef’s eyes suddenly lit up! The eyes of everyone who was paying close attention to the follow-up of this dish also lit up!
Chapter completed!
