In this world, the future main character Liu Maoxing would often say something.
Cooking brought happiness to people, but happy cooking also required a chef to be happy.
There seemed to be only one busy figure in the kitchen. Chen Sanliang's realization was to defeat Shao 'an with the best dishes in the shortest time. This was Chen Sanliang's pride. He wanted to shatter Shao' an's dream of being a chef and let him understand the gap between them.
Chen Sanliang was cooking with resentment. What he was thinking about now was definitely not how to perfect the dish he was making. As a three-year apprentice, Chef Ma's denial of him undoubtedly shattered the beautiful vision in his heart. Since his dream had been shattered, he did not mind shattering the dream of this rookie who had just entered the chef industry. In his opinion, Shao 'an might thank him in the future. Because she had made him understand how easy it was to shatter dreams.
Shao 'an did not know that his opponent was currently filled with resentment. Without any pressure, he followed the good habits that Chef Niu had taught him. Before cooking, he had to make all the preparations, from the completeness of the kitchenware to the freshness of the ingredients. These good habits had been subtly taught to Shao' an by Chef Niu.
Shao 'an carefully carried out every step. He did not appear impatient because he knew that he and Chen Sanliang were no longer on the same starting line. This was not a fair battle to begin with.
The carefully selected ingredients were placed on the stove used by Shao 'an. From the main ingredient pork to the ingredients such as onions and garlic, all the ingredients needed for the Yuxiang Shredded Pork were complete.
Shao 'an agreed with Master Niu's point of view. The quality of the ingredients selected would directly affect the taste of the dish. Although this did not seem to make any difference to a low-level chef, it was enough to determine the success or failure of a dish in the eyes of a high-level chef of the same level.
Shao 'an smiled. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the ingredients he had chosen.
Judging from his mood at the start of the game and his early preparations, Shao 'an had already gained the upper hand.
After wiping the blade of the kitchen knife with a clean cloth, Shao 'an finally began the cooking process. The first thing he needed to do was to deal with the vegetables. This also involved a small detail. If he cut the meat first, it was inevitable that there would be meat left on the cutting board, which would affect the vegetables. Of course, this effect was almost negligible, but Shao' an paid great attention to these details because he knew that many times, success and failure depended on a small detail.
After obtaining Chef Niu's ability, his proficiency in cutting vegetables was something that he had never been able to achieve before. His right hand that held the menu was extremely stable. As his wrist shook, the kitchen knife danced up and down on the chopping board in a very regular manner. He did not need to calculate accurately, as if it was an instinct. He could clearly grasp the landing point of each cut. Every time Shao An cut, the ingredients would appear in the shape he needed under the blade.
Chen Sanliang, who had been ahead of Shao 'an, had already finished processing the ingredients. After getting some free time, he turned his gaze to his opponent, Shao' an. Chen Sanliang, who had originally planned to ridicule Shao 'an, fell silent. He had only planned to take a glance, but he was completely shocked by what he saw.
"How is this possible!" This was Chen Sanliang's inner cry and question.
Was the person who was skillfully cutting the ingredients with a smile really Shao 'an? Chen Sanliang really couldn't accept it. He still remembered how Shao 'an had waved his kitchen knife in front of him a week ago. He also remembered how Shao' an had asked him if the fish had fainted after piercing the fish with a tree branch. How could a rookie who didn't even know how to hold a kitchen knife properly become like this in just a week? It was even much better than his own technique. He simply could not believe it.
When the truth was placed in front of Chen Sanliang, he did not choose to face it but chose to escape. He kept hypnotizing himself to escape this truth.
※※※
The light from the fire shone on Shao 'an's childish and confident face. Shao' an was very happy. He knew that he had begun to like his job as a chef. He liked the rising flames and even more liked the food that he personally made that emitted an alluring fragrance. The rekindling of the fire also pushed Shao 'an's mood to the peak. The next moment was the most gorgeous moment.
The vegetable oil was poured into the iron pot. When it came into contact with the boiling bottom of the pot, it made a sizzling sound. Then, it gradually moved rhythmically in the iron pot. The fragrance of the vegetable seeds quickly floated up from the bottom of the pot and entered Shao 'an's nose. After smelling this fragrance, Shao' an deftly poured the shredded meat into the oil pot.
After the shredded meat came into contact with the 70% hot vegetable oil, it made a crackling sound. Shao 'an quickly used the spatula to stir the shredded meat that was originally stuck together. As he stirred and stir-fried, the shredded meat that was wrapped in water starch scattered. The shredded meat that was of similar size and length took shape in Shao' an's stir-fry. Shao 'an, who remembered the steps, quickly scooped up the cooked shredded meat from the iron pot and placed it on a plate. At this time, the shredded pork did not have the best taste. It still needed to be stir-fried again.
The empty iron pot was filled with the fragrance of stir-fried meat. The vegetable oil had already left the smell of shredded pork. Although it smelled very good, it was inevitable that there would be some residual smell of meat. At this time, they needed scallions, ginger, garlic, and chopped peppers to cover up the residual smell of meat in the vegetable oil. The scallions, ginger, garlic, and chopped peppers were all spicy ingredients. When they came into contact with the boiling vegetable oil, a cloud of choking white smoke immediately rose from the iron pot. However, this was the essence of Sichuan cuisine. Not spicy? Not choking? Could it still be called Sichuan Cuisine?
The kitchen was filled with the smell of Sichuan spicy food. Chen Sanliang naturally smelled it. As a Sichuanese, he was no stranger to this smell because it was the smell of the most authentic Sichuan cuisine. With three years of apprentice experience, how could he not know that every time Chef Niu or Chef Ma cooked spicy dishes, the kitchen would be filled with the same smell as now?
Chen Sanliang's eyes were filled with a complicated expression. He had observed Shao 'an for a long time. Up until now, he had experienced three stages: impossible, disbelief, and silence. Shao' an's cheat-like skills made Chen Sanliang want to say what Shao 'an had once said.
"Great God, you must be waiting for a talented fated person in this place! Then, he would teach him everything he had learned in his life and let him reach the peak of the cooking world, right? Guru, do you think I'll do?"
Chen Sanliang's heart was already in a mess. Shao 'an had already gained the absolute upper hand.
