It was naturally the six people, including Wu Hai and Ling Hong, who just came in from the door. Seeing Yuan Zhou turn his head to look at them, Tang Xi even waved her hand excitedly.
"Hello, Boss Yuan." Tang Xi mouthed.
Seeing Chu Xiao's manner of "I'm going to act cool", Yuan Zhou decisively strode towards the door.
And Yuan Zhou guessed right. Chu Xiao was really going to act cool.
"Precisely speaking, this thing should be called Zanthoxylum chinense. There's really a difference between the two." Chu Xiao didn't wait for others to agree and started to say straightforwardly.
"Master Chu, I've mentioned it just now. It's indeed called Zanthoxylum chinense." The bespectacled chef wasn't easy to deal with. He knitted his brows and said.
"What I'm going to say now is the difference between the two. If you know, you can also say it yourself." Chu Xiao reached out his hand and made a gesture of "please".
The bespectacled chef didn't look good. He turned his head and looked at the three judges.
"Let this monkey speak. Let's see what tricks he can say. But Master Liu, you are also right." The middle-aged gourmet critic on the table took a look at Chu Xiao with a funny smile and then said to the bespectacled chef to comfort him.
"Yes. Let's listen to Master Chu's wise words quietly." The bespectacled chef gnashed his teeth in anger.
"Thank you." Chu Xiao first nodded his head to express his gratitude and then said.
"Zanthoxylum chinense is the dry peel of Zanthoxylum chinense, a plant of Rutaceae. It's mostly used for medicine. It's 2 to 3 separate pods with a diameter of 3-4mm and a short beak at the top."
"The surface of the exocarp is grayish-green, yellow-green or brownish-green, with reticulate lines and many concave dotted oil glands. The endocarp is smooth, grayish-white or light yellow, separated from the exocarp or rolled up. The remaining seeds are oval-shaped, black and glossy. The aroma is fragrant, the taste is slightly sweet and then spicy. These are the basic characteristics of Zanthoxylum chinense. "Chu Xiao said that in one breath without any pause.
"As for the red Zanthoxylum, it's the dried skin of the Rutaceae plant Zanthoxylum. It's used for both food and medicine. It's a spherical pod-shaped fruit that splits from the top along the dorsal abdomen, forming two petals connected at the base, with a diameter of 4-5mm. The base of the fruit has a small fruit stalk and one or two undeveloped granular core skins. "
"The surface of the outer pericarp is reddish-brown or reddish-purple, wrinkled, with many point-like protrusions and concave oil glands. The inner pericarp is smooth, light yellow, thin and leathery, often separated from the outer pericarp at the base and reversed. The remaining seeds are black and have a special fragrance. The taste is spicy and lasts for a long time. "
"So the two kinds of Sichuan peppercorns are quite different in both appearance and taste." Chu Xiao concluded with an affirmative tone.
"Even so, I'm not wrong." The bespectacled man felt that what he said was simple and not wrong.
"Your biggest mistake now is that you shouldn't have said that you're not wrong." Chu Xiao turned his head and glanced at the man in glasses, then said, "Because the taste of the two is different, the dishes suitable for them are also different."
"Red Sichuan peppercorns have a strong taste and are suitable for dishes with strong spicy taste and spicy flavor, such as Chili Chicken, etc. Whereas green Sichuan peppercorns are not only suitable for dishes with strong numbing taste, but also for dishes with fresh fragrance, such as Stir-Fried Pork, etc." Chu Xiao said slowly.
"Master Chu really has a unique hobby." The man with glasses gnashed his teeth and said.
The hobby that the bespectacled man mentioned was naturally referring to Chu Xiao's act of sabotaging him. However, after he finished speaking, he turned around, opened the door, and left.
"Sir, the resting area is right in front," the hostess at the door said with a smile.
"No need. I'm going to get the car and leave." The bespectacled man felt that he had no face to stay any longer.
He was the first to make a mistake, and he was ridiculed for no reason. Naturally, he didn't want to stay there.
"It's easy to break if it's too rigid." After the bespectacled man left, Lee Yanyi said thoughtfully. However, he didn't know whether he was talking about Chu Xiao who showed off his ability or the bespectacled man who had already left.
"The second one is me." Chu Xiao didn't care about what the bespectacled man did. Instead, he urged the hostess.
The second ingredient was also bean sprouts, which were ordinary but a little unusual. Coincidentally, Yuan Zhou's opening topic was tofu while Chu Xiao's first one was bean sprouts.
"Boss Yuan is so arrogant." Tang Xi who had been watching the whole process said to Yuan Zhou in a low voice.
"Yes. He's very confident." Yuan Zhou nodded the head.
"Is this guy Chu Xiao? Has he returned to China?" Ling Hong suddenly interrupted.
"Do you know him?" Yuan Zhou didn't know Chu Xiao, therefore he didn't feel it was a big deal. Of course, even if he knew him, he wouldn't feel it was a big deal.
What a joke! No matter how awesome Chu Xiao was, had he ever seen the Five-fingered Pig, the sheep-pig and the fragrant out-of-print beef? Was the top-grade mountain spring water free of pollution only used to wash vegetables?
Moreover, Yuan Zhou's culinary skills were also very good. He was indifferent to life and death. If he wasn't convinced, he would just do it!
Therefore, Yuan Zhou wasn't afraid of him at all, no matter how famous he was. After all, it was the opportunity given by the system and Yuan Zhou himself who believed he was more awesome than him.
"Of course. He is the one who paints among the younger generation." Ling Hong pointed at Wu Hai and continued saying, "As for cooking, it's Master Chu Xiao. He's way too famous."
"Have you ever eaten it?" Wu Hai was more curious about that.
"Once. I waited for eight whole months." Ling Hong nodded the head without any doubt.
"How's the taste?" Wu Hai went straight to the point.
Yuan Zhou just looked at him lightly and didn't reveal any nervousness on his face, which made Ling Hong, who intentionally kept him guessing, a little speechless.
"Tell me about it." Manman asked curiously at the side.
"I don't think it's as delicious as Boss Yuan's." Tang Xi puffed up her cheeks and revealed a manner of "Yuan Zhou is the best".
"You're right. It's true that it's not as delicious as Boss Yuan's, but his culinary skills are by no means inferior to Boss Yuan's." Ling Hong sighed and said that.
"If it's not as delicious as Boss Yuan's, naturally his culinary skills aren't as good as Boss Yuan's." Tang Xi said angrily.
"No. I just think Boss Yuan's deliciousness doesn't just lie in his culinary skills." Ling Hong brought out his own feelings.
"Thank you for your compliment." Yuan Zhou added timely.
"I think Boss Yuan's dishes are the best. Wait. Boss Yuan is going up there. Hurry up and see if he is really so awesome." Tang Xi shouted in a low voice.
"Go ahead. Know yourself and know your enemy. You'll never be defeated." Manman made a gesture of encouragement.
"Go ahead." Then, the customers who came to watch all said with one accord.
"They really look like Pikachu. Go ahead, Pikachu." Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of this sentence in his heart.
It seemed that he would really become that adorable creature that could discharge electricity once he went there.
After calming himself down and getting rid of the terrifying thought, Yuan Zhou walked steadily to see how Chu Xiao would judge.
Just now, the man in glasses used the method commonly used by everyone. He judged carefully just like looking, listening, questioning and feeling the pulse.
Chu Xiao, on the other hand, walked up to the designated position. After staying there for about 20 seconds, he directly opened his mouth.
"The spring beans used for the bean sprouts have germinated for six days. When they germinate, they are covered with fine cotton cloth. The smell is too strong. I suggest you use the tasteless linen gauze next time." Chu Xiao only said one sentence. That was all.
However, this sentence was already very pretentious. After the bean sprouts were fermented, they would emit a strong fragrance of beans and the smell of fermentation. Moreover, the fine cotton cloth was chosen to cover the bean sprouts. Normally, there was no smell at all.
Under such circumstances, Chu Xiao was able to say that the bean sprouts were the spring beans and fine cotton cloth. From this, one could imagine how awesome Chu Xiao was.
However, Yuan Zhou also had a wicked sense of humor sometimes. It was his turn to open his mouth this time. He pretended to be awesome.
Yuan Zhou, "…"
