I swept the stars with spiritual food

Chapter 26

The fixed ingredients given by the seventh-level assessment are much more difficult than those at the fourth-level assessment. Zhou Jinnan's selected ingredients this time are pig large intestines.Pig large intestine is not only difficult to clean, but also not easy to cook. It also has a fishy smell, which is a common ingredient that tests the chef's skills.Because of its own function and taste, it often appears on many people's menu blacklists.

Ye Hefeng frowned the first time he saw Zhou Jinnan's exam questions. He was also one of the people who didn't like pig intestines. Although the chef's professional ethics and reason told him that he shouldn't discriminate against any ingredients, he couldn't do it emotionally. ah.

Yuan Yuan and Yu Qing knew the taste of Ye Hefeng, so after they saw the ingredients for the assessment, they said to Ye Hefeng at the same time: "Xiaofeng, you don't like to eat large intestines, I will leave your portion to the master later." Why don’t you share your share with us?” In the previous six-level assessment, Zhou Jinnan didn’t make a lot of food every time, and it was even less enough for three people to share.After the fourth-level assessment, two more examiners were added. Even though the star network is separated, isn't there still the omnipotent FedEx!They offered to pack at their own expense, what else could Yuan Yuan say?So there are more people to divide.

Zhou Jinnan didn't hesitate too much, so he chose the dishes to make: "I decided to make Jiuzhuan Dachang. The other ingredients I need are pepper noodles, cinnamon noodles, amomum noodles, green onions, ginger, garlic, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, fragrant Ye, tangerine peel..."

"Jiuzhuan Dachang? He is very confident." Yu Qing said, he can also cook this dish, but he will definitely not choose him as the evaluation dish.

Yuan Yuan's eyes revealed his admiration for Zhou Jinnan: "Since he dares to do it, he must be confident. You should have eaten it too, right? His culinary skills are higher than all of you, and he is a formidable young man."

"Then how do you compare with Master?" Ye Hefeng couldn't help asking.

"You have the answer in your heart, don't you?" Yuan Yuan couldn't see the slightest concern in his expression.

The color of the Jiuzhuan large intestine that was served was reddish brown, with an oily luster in the ruddy, and a little bit of finely chopped coriander was sprinkled on it.Yuan Yuan was the first to move his chopsticks. Zhou Jinnan used a lot of ingredients in this dish, and the aroma blended by different spices lingered on the tip of his nose for a long time.The large intestines in the mouth are handled very well by Zhou Jinnan, without any fishy smell, salty, sweet, bitter, spicy, sour, the signature complex flavors of Jiuzhuan large intestines are clearly layered and complement each other, unexpectedly very easy to accept, Even those with a mild taste are willing to taste a couple of bites.

Seeing Yuan Yuan move his chopsticks, Yu Qing and Ye Hefeng followed suit. "It's delicious!" Yu Qing said in no surprise, "It would be best if it comes with rice. Hefeng, why are you still eating it? Don't you not like large intestines?"

"I can accept this dish." Ye Hefeng lowered his chopsticks at the same speed as Yu Qing, "I don't know what Zhou Jinnan will do for the next dish? It will be the last dish soon."

"That's right, this is already the exam for a seventh-level chef." There is only the last exam left, and if he passes, Zhou Jinnan will complete an unprecedented feat.Tsk, time flies so fast, why is there only the last one left?

Yuan Yuan said with emotion: "I don't know when Zhou Jinnan's restaurant will officially open? I really want to go to join them sooner."

"After the assessment is over, you can ask Zhou Jinnan." Yu Qing conveniently gave the score of this assessment on his scoring board.

In the evaluation live broadcast room of the Food Association, everyone was enjoying the joy brought by the food. Zhou Jinnan had never cooked so much food at one time in his live broadcast. This time because of the evaluation, he completed more than ten courses in a row. The viewers of the live broadcast who were salivating at Zhou Jinnan's delicious food were feasting.

[Jiuzhuan large intestine is also delicious!I can't say other adjectives besides delicious. 】

[Surely it will pass this time, right?Not surprised at all. 】

[You can tell by the expressions of the examiners. It is obvious that they are as intoxicated by Zhou Jinnan's food as we are. 】

[Although Zhou Jinnan hasn't taken the chef level test before, his level can be judged. It is obvious that the previous assessment is not a problem for him. 】

[But the assessment of the eighth level should not be so easy, right? 】

【I don't think so. Zhou Jinnan's confident appearance doesn't seem to worry at all that he won't be able to pass the eighth-level assessment later. 】

[I am fortunate enough to have tasted master-level cooking skills, and I can prove that Zhou Jinnan's cooking skills are definitely not inferior to those masters. 】

[However, the assessment requirements and standards for master level are different from before, what if you fail? 】

[Stop talking, it's already started. 】

[I wonder what Zhou Jinnan will do this time?He has not cooked steamed saury, the signature dish of Jushanlou, could it be this dish? 】

Steamed saury is currently the most popular and curious dish, and it is understandable for the audience to have such a guess.However, every dish that Zhou Jinnan cooked in the assessment, except for the given dishes, was something he had never cooked before.

The eighth-level assessment does not give any requirements, which means that no hints will be given, and all ideas must be thought of by the assessment chef himself.What will he do?The three of Yuan Yuan are guessing.Level 30.00 assessment is much more difficult than Level [-]. There are no requirements, but the completed work must not only have a good color and fragrance, but also must have its own characteristics. At the same time, another default rule in the food industry is that Level [-] The soothing degree of the dishes to the mental power must reach [-]% five or more, this number

Soon, Zhou Jinnan submitted a new list of ingredients, squab, flour, olive oil, maltose, hazelnuts, mushrooms... Judging from the list of ingredients alone, it is impossible to tell what Zhou Jinnan is going to do.

The examiner added two new masters, Su Kaicheng and Min Hanhai, both of whom are well-known figures in the gourmet circle of the Capital Star, and they also have some friendship with Yuan Yuan. Zhou Jinnan is concentrating on feeding the pigeons. While coloring, the two were in the communication room of the Xingwang examiners with Yuan Yuan, and gathered in the small room with the Xingwang avatars of the other five examiners.

Through the live broadcast on the star network, even if you are far away from the capital star, you can clearly see Zhou Jinnan's every move.They were all attracted by Zhou Jinnan's direct examination of the eighth grade, and Min Hanhai had heard about Zhou Jinnan for a long time.At this moment, they are guessing based on Zhou Jinnan's list. Compared with other confused viewers, they have richer experience as chefs and reserves of food knowledge, so their guesses are much more grounded.

"Suckling pigeon dishes, hanging roasted pigeons or roasted pigeons?" Su Kaicheng first put forward his guess.

"Crispy squab or braised squab?" Ye Hefeng followed suit and guessed, "These are all famous dishes, are they all possible?"

Min Hanhai shook his head: "No, he also used flour. Flour is used to make squab... His step looks like he is making noodles? He doesn't want to start directly from noodles, does he? He shouldn't... ..."

"You mean noodles?" Yuan Yuan was reminded by Min Hanhai, and he also thought of the answer in Min Hanhai's mind, "It can't be that famous dish, right?"

Su Kaicheng also thought about it, and also agreed with Min Hanhai's opinion: "Looking at his method and the ingredients he prepared, it's probably right. But the filling is a little different from the method I know."

"Of course, this kind of famous dish must have its own exclusive secrets and methods. How can it be exactly the same?"

"Master, which dish are you talking about?" Ye Hefeng became more and more confused, "Why can't I see it at all?"

Yuan Yuan’s tone of voice was somewhat resentful and he pointed at Ye Hefeng: “Besides practicing cooking, you should learn more about relevant knowledge. You can’t see such obvious main ingredients as noodles and squab? Feng Huan Don’t Chao know?” His little apprentice is a culinary idiot, he is usually diligent and eager to learn everything, but he is too lazy to expand his knowledge, and has no interest in learning about cuisines that he is not proficient at.

Phoenix returns to the nest? !After knowing the answer, let's look at Zhou Jinnan's actions. In the eyes of Ye Hefeng and the chef who hadn't seen what Zhou Jinnan was going to do before, everything became orderly.

"Hasn't this dish been lost for a long time?!" Yu Qing couldn't help being surprised, "He actually recovered it?"

"Look carefully, you can learn as much as you can." After Yuan Yuan finished speaking, he stopped talking, staring at Zhou Jinnan's actions wholeheartedly in his heart, and prepared to go back and try it out by himself after the assessment was over.Seeing Zhou Jinnan standing in front of the cooking counter for so long, his hands were itchy.

The expressions of Su Kaicheng and Min Hanhai were almost the same as Yuan Yuan's. Even the masters valued this dish so much, so the others naturally didn't dare to neglect, they stopped communicating and focused on watching Zhou Jinnan's movements.

Phoenix returns to the nest, as the name suggests, the finished dish will be in the shape of a bird lying in its nest.Yuan Yuan had seen the image of the phoenix returning to the nest, and always thought that the most important part of this dish was the exquisite bird's nest underneath. However, Zhou Jinnan's approach at this time was completely focused on handling the squab.

The squab is patiently plucked all the fluff left on the skin without any damage, and then fully marinated with complex seasonings and spices such as cooking wine, soy sauce, and bay leaves.While the squab was marinated aside, Zhou Jinnan began to knead the noodles to make the main ingredient for the bird's nest.After the noodles are ready, there is still some time before the pickling is complete, so he uses this time to fry and melt the maltose into golden yellow clear sugar water, and then use a small brush to brush the surface of the pickled squab layer by layer, and then put Let it stand aside, waiting for the sugar water to completely dry and solidify.

Mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, choy sum, wolfberry, winter bamboo shoots, ham...nearly ten kinds of ingredients each have a small portion. They are cut into small cubes in turn, mixed with seasonings, marinated, then fried quickly on high heat, and stuffed after they are out of the pan. Into the completely dried pigeon belly.

Zhou Jinnan made it in an orderly manner, and did not directly submit the fried pigeons to the nest, but started to arrange them.
