Chapter 89 Stir-fried Three Crispies
"Okay, then you should give it your best."

Elder Wu said.

After so many years, Luo Tian has aged a lot, and I wonder how much of his former strength he still has left.

Once a chef reaches a certain age, his skills will decline rapidly. Dishes that he could prepare easily in the past will now be difficult to recreate with the same taste, even if he puts in a lot of effort.

This is how people are. They have to accept aging. Even if their mentality is young, the aging body will always remind them that their youth is gone.

This is true for him and Luo Tian as well.

When people get old, they will be surpassed by those who come after them. The waves that once rose high will eventually be rolled up helplessly by those who come after them and beat on the beach.

Perhaps today, Wei Jie will be the next wave that defeats Luo Tian, ​​the previous wave.

Seeing the special expectations in Elder Wu's eyes, Wei Jie was very excited, with blood surging through his body, and he was ready to do a great job.

No matter who comes, he is confident that he can defeat him!
By then, when the Guangzhou chefs have lost three games in a row, the rest of the people will have no intention of resisting, and the entire culinary world will fall into the hands of Lord Wu, making it much easier for Lord Wu to realize his ambitions.

Shen Hong hurried to the kitchen. When the other chefs saw him, they surrounded him and asked about the results.

"Elder Shen, what's going on?"

"No need to ask, the chef of Taoranju is so powerful that he will definitely convince those outsiders!"

"Yes, the braised shark's fin is Taoranju's signature dish. Not to mention Guangzhou, there is no dish that can rival it in the whole world."

Seeing everyone's confident faces, Shen Hong really didn't want to dampen their morale at this moment. However, they would know about this matter sooner or later, so there was no point in hiding it now.

Shen Hong shook his head helplessly and said, "Taoranju lost. The chef himself admitted that he lost."

The noisy kitchen suddenly became quiet, and everyone was speechless, looking in disbelief.

"How could it be...even Taoranju was defeated, then we..."

"We definitely can't do it. How can those people be so strong..."

"Who's next to serve?"

"What kind of dishes are you serving? Aren't you embarrassed to be conspicuous? I'm not going anyway."

"Ugh……"

Seeing everyone's frustrated and sighing faces, Shen Hong knew that these two failures were too great a blow to everyone. Now, even before others attacked them, they had already given up in their hearts.

Shen Hong said: "Elder Li said that the next dish will be prepared by Master Luo Tian."

"It turned out to be Master Luo Tian! Alas, but the master is so old, and the other party is a young man at the peak of his powers. Isn't there a saying that a random punch can kill a master..."

"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Don't boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige."

"I was wrong. I won't say anything."

The chef slapped his lips a few times and shut up.

However, what he said was exactly what everyone was thinking. Even those who refuted him had worry in their eyes when they looked at Master Luo Tian.

If they lose this game again, the Guangzhou chefs will be completely defeated.

Shen Hong came to Luo Tian's side. Master Luo Tian glanced at him and asked in a low voice: "How did Tao Ranju lose?"

Given the skills and abilities of Taoranju’s chef, he shouldn’t have lost so badly.

Moreover, he is a famous chef who has been famous for many years. He has confidence and pride in his heart, and he will not allow himself to lose to others easily.

The only way to make him admit defeat is...

Shen Hong said: "The taste of the dishes made by that young man is somewhat similar to those made by Xu Qing and Ku Rou."

Master Luo Tian said with emotion: "Is it intentional? I see. Wu Cheng really found a powerful helper." "How is it? Are you sure?"

Master Luo Tian chuckled when he heard this.

Before meeting Xu Qing, Luo Tian was a little unsure.

After all, he is old, and it is hard to say who will win or lose against the highly skilled young man from the imperial city.

But in order to keep up with Xu Qing's learning progress these days, Luo Tian sorted out almost all of his skills and experiences over the past decades and integrated them. Many skills that he had long forgotten were also picked up again and familiarized himself with. It can be said that he is now in his strongest state in recent years.

As long as his opponent is not that kid Xu Qing, he is confident of winning.

Luo Tian said confidently: "Don't worry, there will be no problem."

"Then it's all up to you."

After hearing what he said, Shen Hong felt relieved.

After Shen Hong left, Luo Tian found Jidi who was preparing the food and said, "It's our turn."

"Yes, Master."

Shen Hong returned to his seat, and Elder Li asked in a low voice, "What did Luo Tian say?"

"He said it was all right."

"I hope so."

Elder Li sighed softly. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to put everything on Luo Tian.

But now, all he can do is wait.

Amid everyone's anxious anticipation, the third dish was ready.

Master Luo Tian personally brought the plates to the table and placed the dishes on the table.

The dishes on the white porcelain plates are extremely eye-catching, showing bright red, black and white colors. The ingredients are cut into beautiful patterns, like blooming flowers, competing for beauty, and are dotted with fresh green vegetables. It doesn't look like a dish, but like flowers just picked from the garden. The clear soup is like dew, making it look even more delicate and tempting.

Master Luo Tian said, "This is the dish I, Luo Tian, ​​made. It is called Stir-fried Three Crispies. Please enjoy it."

Wei Jie lowered his head and took a closer look. He quickly identified the ingredients. The red one was chicken gizzard, the black one was pork tripe, and the white one was squid. These three had one thing in common, which was that they all tasted extremely crisp and refreshing, and they deserved the name of the Three Crispies.

only……

Wei Jie glanced at the gray-haired Luo Tian. He didn't expect that his opponent would be such an old man. At such an old age, he was still the head chef. If he was in the imperial city, he would have retired long ago. As a result, there was no one to take over the Guangzhou culinary industry, forcing the old man to take over.

How pitiful.

Wei Jie unconsciously looked down on Luo Tian.

Moreover, stir-frying requires a high level of control over the heat, and also requires the skills of tossing the pan and flipping the frying pan.

To achieve a crispy taste, the heat is extremely important.

If the heat is too high or the cooking time is too long, the ingredients will become tough and will feel like rubber when you bite them, making them difficult to chew.

On the contrary, if the heat is low and the time is short, the ingredients will be too tender and soft and lose their taste.

Only the right heat and time can make the ingredients crispy and chewy, with a tender and smooth taste inside.

The old man in front of me is so old. Even if he has sufficient experience, the chef still has to rely on his skills to determine his success. Looking at his old appearance, I'm afraid he can't even lift the pot.

As you can imagine, the taste of this dish must not be very good.

Wei Jie thought to himself that he would just make a few comments to make the other party give up, but there would be no sense of accomplishment in defeating a white-haired old man.

Thinking of this, Wei Jie picked up the dish and put it into his mouth.
