Chapter 124 Stunt
"Who is this boy?"

"Why would Chef Dragon want to taste his dishes?"

Similar words continued to be heard in the examination room.

Either out of curiosity or out of envy and jealousy.

The crowd around gradually gathered.

The area around Xu Qing's stove was crowded with people.

Hongze said to the examiners gently, "No need to be polite, everyone stand up."

"Yes."

The examiners then stood up straight and stood quietly aside.

Hongze walked up to Xu Qing and said with a smile, "Do you mind making an extra portion for an old man like me?"

Xu Qing felt helpless. Could he still say that he minded?

If he really dared to say that, the three examiners would jump over and beat him up on the spot.

Xu Qing said: "Of course I don't mind, the portion of the dishes is enough."

"That's good."

After Hongze finished speaking, he looked at the three examiners and said, "You three are the examiners of the preliminary test. You can comment as you want. Don't worry about me. I am just an ordinary old man who comes to taste the food."

"That's...ok."

The three examiners looked at each other and clasped their fists.

Having said that, Chef Long's presence was so strong that just by him standing there the examiners became nervous. They couldn't help but be extremely alert, wanting to leave a good impression on Chef Long.

Not only the examiners, but even the onlookers felt a little panicked and nervous.

It was the first time for them to see a living dragon chef and the first time they were so close to a dragon chef.

They were so nervous that their palms were sweating.

"Luckily I'm not the one cooking, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to hold the pot steady."

"Forget about holding the pot. I feel weak even standing in front of Chef Long."

"This teenager is so young and under such great pressure he may not perform well."

"It's good that I didn't perform well. If it were me, I would have forgotten which jar the salt was in."

Listening to the conversation around them, Jiang Cheng and others had similar thoughts.

Even if they were facing Chef Long, they would inevitably feel nervous, let alone the young man in front of them.

Contrary to what everyone thought, Xu Qing was not that nervous.

The sudden appearance of Chef Long did give him a fright, but he had already prepared himself to face Chef Long, and this moment was just a preview of the future.

The fire on the stove was burning fiercely, and there were three pots placed on it. One pot was empty, and the edge of the pot had already been burned hot. The other two pots were covered with lids to hide the contents.

Xu Qing picked up the clay pot, took out the marinated chicken, cleaned the salt off the chicken, and put it aside. Then he poured the onion, ginger, garlic and other condiments into the pot. Under the effect of heat, the spicy aroma burst out instantly, filling the entire examination room.

At this point, it's nothing special, or even disappointingly bland.

This is something every chef knows.

Before everyone could sigh in disappointment, Xu Qing opened the lids of the other two pots, only to see that one of the pots contained white particles, while the other was completely black.

These two conflicting colors left everyone confused.

The examiner was about to ask Xu Qing.

But I heard Hongze say: "One of them is salt and the other is iron sand, right?"

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, it is salt and iron sand."

After hearing Xu Qing's answer, the people around him became even more confused. Salt is easy to explain, but can iron sand also be used for cooking?

After the aroma burst out from the pot, Xu Qing added new ingredients into the pot, which turned out to be various Chinese medicinal materials, and stir-fried them together.

Then Xu Qing put the marinated chicken into a pot filled with salt.

He took a deep breath, focused his eyes, and then moved as fast as lightning, throwing the three pots into the air at the same time. The ingredients in the three pots flew in the air. The various ingredients, chicken, salt grains, and iron sand in the pots were all mixed together, forming a pot of chaos that could no longer be distinguished from each other.

This scene made everyone exclaim in surprise.

"How can this be done?"

"If you mix salt, iron sand and food together, how will you eat it?"

"Even if I wanted to pick it out later, I couldn't find any clean ones. It was disgusting when I took a bite."

"A chef is not a juggler. He cannot make a dish well by performing shocking moves."

"It's over. This is going to be a huge embarrassment. How could Chef Long possibly eat something like this?"

Before the argument was over, Xu Qing was seen waving his arms, turning the iron pan like an extension of his arm. The heat conducted by the iron pan, as well as the heat from the iron sand and salt particles, collided with each other during the rotation of the iron pan, covering every inch of the chicken's skin with even heat.

Every collision makes the heat penetrate deeper, from the skin to the inside.

At the same time, all kinds of ingredients are fully taken care of by the iron sand and salt grains. Under the action of heat, their own flavors are completely released. As the pot rotates, they all hit the whole chicken in the center, and their unique flavors are deeply imprinted in every fiber of the chicken.

The three pots took turns dancing in the air at a speed so fast that it took less than a blink of an eye, causing the ingredients to constantly jump and rotate in each pot. From a visual point of view, it seemed as if all the ingredients, salt and iron sand were gathered into a huge ball, colliding with each other, absorbing each other's strength, and then gathering all the taste and strength into the chicken.

Suddenly, three pots fell down and landed squarely on the stove, and the ingredients flying in the air also fell down one by one.

Each ingredient seemed to have its own consciousness and fell into its own pot.

The salt grains, as fine as sand, were indistinguishable from the iron sand, and not a single grain fell into the other pot.

In the pot at the center, the chicken is fried until cooked through by sufficient heat in a short time and is emitting a wonderful aroma that makes you salivate.

This extraordinary scene made those who had just been slandering speechless.

They stared in amazement at what was happening before them, amazed at the skill.

When Jiang Cheng and others saw Xu Qing throwing up three pots, they had a vague premonition but they just couldn't believe it.

When they actually saw this scene at this moment, the shock in their hearts was even more intense than that of those who didn't understand what was going on.

"Isn't this... the unique skill of Master Luo Tian, ​​the head chef of Yangquan Restaurant?"

"I never thought that he would learn all of Master Luo Tian's unique skills."

"He has only been in Yangquan for a short time, right? Looking at his skills, it's as if he has practiced for decades! Even if he started learning from the womb, he still wouldn't be able to catch up!"

At the same time, the examiner was whispering to Chef Long, telling him about this unique skill that belonged to Master Luo Tian.

Hongze narrowed his eyes slightly. He had seen many secret techniques, and there were too many shocking secret techniques in the imperial kitchen to count.

However, what shocked him was Xu Qing's learning ability.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that in order to master this unique skill to perfection, it would take at least ten years, even if he trained day and night.

However, as far as he knew, Xu Qing had only been in Yangquan for less than half a year. In half a year, he had surpassed the hard work of others in ten years. This was more than just amazing talent.

Xu Qing cut the chicken into pieces, placed them on plates one by one, and passed them to the four people.

The three examiners looked down and saw that the chicken was fully cooked and still steaming. They were shocked by Xu Qing's skills.

This was especially true for the older examiner, who had witnessed Master Luo Tian display his unique skills and even tasted the delicious dish himself.

Now Xu Qing's young figure gradually overlaps with Master Luo Tian's figure, which makes people sigh.

It’s really the wave behind pushing the wave ahead.

Xu Qing said: "This dish is called Sweet and Bitter Chicken. Please try it."
