Chapter 221 Is there still such a saucy operation?
30 Yuling chefs took their food spirits and ran quickly to the shops around the venue.
Most contestants and their spirit beasts have adopted the method of purchasing separately to purchase different ingredients needed for the next delicacies to be made.
This will not only save time, but also increase the probability of purchasing the ingredients you want.
Competition has already started when selecting ingredients!
Chen Mo did not adopt the strategy of dividing his troops into two or three groups.
Because he had seen the information of other contestants in this final before. Among the 30 Yuling chefs, he was the only one who made pastries.
So at least in terms of selecting ingredients, he has no competitors.
Soon, he came to one of the shops called "Liu Fuji". The owner was a somewhat rickety old man who looked quite kind.
He was a little surprised when he saw Chen Mo.
I didn’t expect that there are still people preparing to make traditional pastries.
“Boss, do you have blood jade glutinous rice, white jade glutinous rice, acacia beans and leaves of requiem bamboo?”
Chen Mo asked politely.
“Blood jade glutinous rice, white jade glutinous rice, and acacia beans are all available, but I don’t have the leaves of the requiem bamboo here. You want to make rice dumplings, right? I have awn leaves here, which are specially used to wrap rice dumplings. Do you want them?”
The boss asked with a smile.
“I’m sorry, old sir, the delicacies I want to make must use the leaves of Requiem Bamboo. I’ll go next door and ask first.”
Chen Mo reluctantly refused.
The most important ingredient in making homesick rice dumplings is not the glutinous rice inside, but the rice dumpling leaves that wrap the rice dumplings outside.
Requiem bamboo is a spiritual plant-like beast. Its leaves have a calming effect and can make people enter a state of tranquility. Generally, it is used for meditation.
If you want to make homesick rice dumplings arouse the homesickness of diners, you must use requiem leaves!
The owner of the shop next door is a thin woman wearing a floral skirt. She looks to be in her 30s. She is also an imperial chef.
Obviously, the woman heard the conversation between Chen Mo and the boss next door, so as soon as Chen Mo walked over, she took a dozen green leaves from a certain counter.
The leaves are very broad. If you look closely, you can see golden lines on them, which even look a bit gorgeous.
It is exactly the leaves of Requiem Bamboo, and the quality is extremely high!
“Chen Mo, you are very lucky. One of my spiritual beasts is the Soul Requiem Bamboo.”
The woman's voice is very soft and waxy.
"How much?"
“A piece of 200,000 yuan, this is the leaf of the monarch-level requiem bamboo, which is considered a rare ingredient.”
The woman in the floral skirt said with a smile.
"It's 150,000 per piece. I'll buy 10 pieces. Can I give it to my sister one after I finish making the rice dumplings?"
Chen Mo asked with a smile, and at the same time sent a message to everyone through telepathy:
“Tuantuan, please show your cuteness to this beautiful sister.”
“嘤~”
Tuantuan was quite shy in her heart, but she still winked at the woman in the floral skirt.
After winking, its soft white body was instantly stained with a blush, but it became even cuter.
“嘤～” (so shameful!)
“No problem. My sister will sell it to you for 100,000 yuan a piece!”
The woman in the floral skirt smiled from ear to ear, stretched out her hand and pinched the ball gently.
“嘤~”
It’s another day when we are forced to open business.
“Thank you, big sister!”
The audience and judges were stunned for a moment when they saw this scene.
Hello guy, the young man is quite good at bargaining at a young age.
“Is this allowed in the game?”
“If there is no regulation against it, then it must be allowed.”
“I’ve learned, I’ve learned, I’ll try it next time.”
“You’re thinking about peach! First of all, you have to be a spirit chef. Secondly, you have to have such a cute food spirit, and most importantly – you have to be handsome.”
Chen Mo took out his bracelet and paid 1 million.
This bracelet was handed to him by the staff before the game started. Each player and his food spirit each have a bracelet, and the money in the account inside is universal.
“But we don’t have blood jade glutinous rice and Xiang Si Dou sister here, you have to go next door to sell them.”
"good."
Chen Mo returned to the first store.
He did not buy directly before because he was worried that he could not find suitable rice dumpling leaves, so he did not dare to buy other ingredients directly.
The other ingredients are all ready, but it’s embarrassing if there are no rice dumpling leaves.
“Boss, please bring 2 kilograms of blood jade glutinous rice and white jade glutinous rice, and 200 grams of acacia beans.”
"Okay! The total is 2.1 million. I'll give you a zero. That's 2.08 million."
The boss said with a smile.
“Why is it not 2 million when zeroing out?”
Chen Mo couldn't help but ask.
“2.08 million, please be lucky!”
The boss said with a smile.
Following that, Chen Mo went to a butcher shop and a fruit and vegetable store to buy minced black-bone chicken meat and various mushrooms, spending more than 1 million.
Acacia rice dumplings do not use soy sauce, but a bowl of soup stock.
Finally, it cost hundreds of thousands more to buy the fillings for the rice dumplings, such as pork belly, candied fruit, ling bean paste, etc.
Only tens of thousands of 5 million yuan are used, which is considered the maximum use of resources.
After buying the ingredients, when Chen Mo returned to the stove, he found that more than a dozen contestants were already processing the ingredients.
The remaining contestants who are still wandering around the store are mostly because they have not found the ingredients they want, or the ingredients have been bought by other contestants, so they can only think about finding substitutes, or directly change dishes.
“Open the whole!”
“嘤!”
This time, Chen Mo plans to be the chef himself, with Tuan Tuan assisting on the side.
Let’s see who dares to say that he can’t cook! ?
After processing various ingredients, Chen Mo began to make soup stock.
For controlling the heat, Chen Mo chose to use a thermometer, which is accurate to every degree Celsius.
“Who do you think will win the final championship in this Youth Chef Competition? Leave a message in the comment area~”
Neon Cat is wearing a festive red bellyband today, with four glowing paws, giving it a mascot feel.
As soon as it finished speaking, the barrage on the screen flew like snowflakes, and the audience started to get noisy.
“This must be Chef Cui Taishan! The master of Qilu cuisine, the quasi-master Yu Lingchu!”
“The champion belongs to my goddess Cheng Ling! She is the chief disciple of the master of Sichuan cuisine, and she was the champion in the Central Division qualifiers before! This time she should cook Tai’an fish, which was my favorite dish when I was a child!”
"Speaking of Sichuan cuisine, I remember that Chen Mo seemed to be quite good at it. And this time, Chen Mo actually cooked it himself! Could it be that Shi Ling fought for him before because he felt that his opponent was too good? Only in the finals can he be taken seriously ?”
“Originally, I thought Chen Mo and Tuantuan could win. However, the rules of this competition are too unfavorable for them. Without the affectionate moves, they would be at a huge disadvantage.”
Chen Mo, who was in the state of cooking, ignored all the noise from the outside world and concentrated on it.
When the soup stock is almost cooked, Tuantuan releases the "overflowing aroma" to it and performs aroma enhancement processing.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Mo and Tuan Tuan began to put the blood jade glutinous rice or white jade glutinous rice into the wrapped rice dumpling leaves.
This time Chen Mo is going to make sweet and salty homesick rice dumplings.
After all, the tastes of northerners and southerners are quite different.
Most northerners like to eat sweet rice dumplings, while southerners mostly like to eat salty rice dumplings.
