" What should I do…What should I do…Just do it in peace…Calm down…Calm down…" Megumi Tadori's face was flushed red, and she looked as if she was about to die of nervousness." He looks so calm. He will definitely do it…"
" What... Burgundy... Beef..." Hula noticed Megumi's expression and pretended not to understand.
" I'm done for! I'm really dead!" Tanori Megumi hugged her head with her small hands. She was going crazy.
"It's really cute." Hu Lai glanced at Megumi's current appearance and felt touched.
" What should I do…I can't calm down…" Megumi Tadori was panicking again. The other students were already busy, but she still didn't know what to do first.
"Hey, come over and help." Hu Lai called out," I'll put the beef into the pot. You stay here and watch. Come over quickly…"
"Oh, I'm here." As if she had found her backbone, she quickly ran over.
Time passed.
Tian Suohui watched from the side, her eyes fixed on the pot. She was still nervous as she counted the time softly.
Hu Lai was cutting the ingredients in front of the chopping board. Because his left hand had not recovered yet, he could only use his right hand, so he cut very slowly. Fortunately, this kind of stew did not require any knife skills to show off the delicacies of the ingredients. Hu Lai cut the carrots, onions, small onions, and so on one by one.
" Tansuo, go wash the mushrooms…" Hu Lai ordered.
"What? Oh." " Yes, Master!" Megumi hurriedly responded and left the pot. Soon, the sound of vegetables being washed could be heard from the sink. Hu Lai had cut all the side dishes and was about to get some flour when he suddenly noticed that the lid of the pot was half open, as if someone had opened it.
"Eh?" Hu Lai frowned slightly and called out,"Field, you opened the lid?"”
"What?" Megumi looked up at Hula and immediately ran to the pot. She asked in confusion,""No…How could it be…"
Hu Lai opened the lid completely.
Their expressions changed at the same time. The beef in the pot was still cooking, but there was a layer of white powder on the beef.
"That's…"
"It's salt."
Hu Lai could tell what it was without tasting it. His face darkened as he looked up and glanced around. He paid special attention to the students in front of the cooking tables. It could only be done by one of the students nearby. If he walked too far away, he would be noticed.
"Salt?" She wanted to cry but had no tears. She started to run around again."We're doomed ~ How could this be? Who wants to harm us? Sob sob…" She hugged her head and squatted on the ground, crying. She knew that there was no time left. There was only half an hour left. She didn't even have time to cook another serving of beef.
"That guy!" Hu Lai found the culprit. It was the two guys in front of the cooking table on the right. They were the only ones who had been paying attention to the situation here. One of them was the head chef, and the other was the assistant chef. The head chef was called 'Egasaki Wood,' and his cooking skill level was B .
"Bastard, how dare you slander me." Hu Lai coldly glanced at that guy. There was no time to argue with that bastard now.
"Field." Hu Lai squatted down beside Megumi Tanasuo and rubbed his head." Get up and help. It'll be fine."”
Megumi Tadori looked up. Her face was filled with tears and she looked pitiful. Her eyes were weak. She clearly did not trust Hu Lai very much.
"Go, bring me a piece of fresh beef.”Hu Lai ordered in a gentle voice.
"Oh, okay." Megumi knew that it was not the time to cry. Although she did not know what Hula was going to do, it was better than doing nothing and waiting for death. She ran to the freezer while Hula looked at the guy named Ezaki.
"This bastard, let's see how he can still be arrogant.”
"It's over. It's useless to stare.”
Ezaki was chatting and laughing with the students nearby. He gave Hu Lai a threatening look.
"Here it is." Tian Suohui brought back the fresh beef, looking timid.
"Give it to me." Hu Lai retracted his gaze and took the beef. He cut it into standard cubes first, then grabbed it again and threw it on the chopping board. A loud bang shocked everyone.
Even Schaper looked in Halley's direction.
Hu Lai grabbed the beef again and threw it on the chopping board.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Time and time again, Hu Lai seemed to be venting his anger. Every time, he used a lot of force. The beef fell on the chopping board and even bounced up. Megumi Tadori's eyelids twitched, and she looked frightened every time.
"What is this guy doing?"
"He's having a stroke."
"Bastard transfer student, making such a loud noise and affecting us.”
There were complaints around him, but Egasaki's lips curled into a smile. He liked to see Hu Lai's exasperated look.
" This young man..." Professor Schaper frowned slightly, but his expression was still very serious. In fact, he had already noticed Hu Lai's condition just now, but he did not say anything. A chef should have the ability to adapt, but he did not understand why Hu Lai chose to smash the beef.
Beef could be smashed, but it was different from stewing. The former would have irregular granules due to the force, and the taste would not be good. Only when stewed would it melt in the mouth.
Even though he didn't know what Huley was up to, Schaper still paid attention. He had always admired creative students.
"Is this…really going to work?”Tian Suohui asked timidly.
"Have you heard of beating a cow across a mountain?" Hu Lai's injured left hand was in his pocket, and his right hand kept smashing the beef as he glanced at Megumi Tanori.
"What cow?" Tian Suohui's eyes were round and round. She didn't understand.
"This is a type of Chinese martial arts." Hu Lai smiled and explained," Every time I hit the beef, the force won't be applied to the surface of the beef. Instead, it will be transmitted to a point inside and spread from that point. Actually, I won't really hit the beef from a distance, but I have mastered this technique. When I knead the dough, I will use this technique…The texture of the beef has to be more resilient and can withstand the force better.”
Megumi Tadori had already revealed an expression of being wronged as if she was an idiot. She did not understand what Hu Lai was saying at all.
"Throw away the beef from before and change the pot of water!”Hu Lai ordered.
Five minutes later, Hu Lai finished beating the beef. He cut the beef a few times and boiled it.
There were already students submitting their dishes one after another.
"Add onions and carrots."
"Black pepper, mushrooms, butter, salt, laurel leaves…red wine!”
Hu Lai kept an eye on the time and gave out instructions. Megumi Tashino was a little flustered, but she didn't make any mistakes. Her cooking skills were still very good, but she often performed abnormally because of nervousness.
The last two minutes.
Almost all the students submitted their own dishes, and many of them got an A rating. Those who got an E rating were dejected and even beat the ground crazily. Ezaki's group had submitted their dishes and received an A rating. After that, he looked at Hu Lai with interest, wanting to see Hu Lai make a fool of himself.
At the last minute.
"Prepare the pot and submit it." Hu Lai said.
