The corners of Chef Jin's mouth slightly curled up. His face was filled with enjoyment as he listened to the exclamations around him. He could feel that the gazes of the audience were all gathered on him. He was the center of attention.
He was extremely confident that his knife skills were the best in the entire imperial kitchen. Perhaps he might not be able to compare to some of the veteran chefs who had decades of experience in the art of cooking. However, his knife skills were undoubtedly number one in the imperial kitchen.
After he finished cutting a plate of beef with his fancy knife skills, he raised his head and realized that the exclamations around him had become even louder. However … these exclamations were no longer directed at him.
His expression slightly stiffened as he furrowed his brows. His bald head seemed to be radiating light under the sunlight.
He turned his gaze around and realized that everyone was looking at a stove not far away from him. That was the spot where Owner Bu, whom he had always disliked, was sitting.
This caused his expression to become even uglier. He was a little displeased. It would be weird if he was in a good mood after his limelight was stolen by someone he disliked.
Therefore, he wanted to take a good look at how Owner Bu was going to steal his limelight. After all … he had the additional benefit of his shiny bald head under the sunlight!
Bu Fang slammed his palm on the table. The only thing that flew up was the meat. With a twirl of the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife in his hand, he twirled it around and then sliced toward the meat in the air. This meat was only ordinary pork and not spirit beast meat. For the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife that could cut through iron like mud, it was simply too easy.
Therefore, as the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife continuously spun and sliced that piece of meat, the large piece of pork was actually floating in the air and gradually becoming smaller in the eyes of the audience.
Bu Fang was holding a white porcelain plate in one hand. The sliced pieces of pork were all placed neatly on the white porcelain plate as if they had been meticulously arranged.
However, looking at Bu Fang's relaxed expression, it was obvious that this was only a very basic knife skill.
The pork was sliced into slices by Bu Fang. The slices were as thin as a cicada's wings and even the veins on them were extremely clear.
After slicing the pork, Bu Fang twirled his knife while taking out the vegetables and fruits. Then, he diced them all. The way he diced them was even more peculiar. He basically did not separate them and simply lifted them up and tossed them into the air.
The Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife was like a gust of wind as it swept past. It was as though there was a dark stream of light bursting forth. The vegetables and fruits were all cut up and scattered to the side.
Bu Fang scooped out the lively Bamboo Prawns from the cold water and with a twist of his fingers, the kitchen knife streaked across the air and peeled off the outer shell of the prawns, leaving behind only the green prawn meat. Bu Fang's movements were as smooth as flowing water, so smooth that it was a feast for the eyes. The way he handled the ingredients caused the surrounding people to exclaim in admiration.
In less than the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Bu Fang minced the prawns and mixed them with minced meat, vegetables, and fruits.
The colorful ingredients were mixed together, creating a very bright and eye-catching scene. While stirring, Bu Fang added some sauce and seasonings from time to time. Although it had not been cooked yet, there was already a faint fragrance wafting out.
In the distance, many people were observing and attentively watching Owner Bu's actions. This was the first time they saw Owner Bu cook, and they did not expect his actions to be so natural and unrestrained.
"What does Owner Bu want to do? So many ingredients were diced and mixed together … Was he going to make stuffing? Golden Shumai? That's not right … The Golden Shumai's fillings aren't these ingredients, "Xiao Xiaolong and the others muttered in confusion. They had no idea what Bu Fang wanted to do.
Not only Xiao Xiaolong and the others, but many of the chefs present were also puzzled. If he was going to make stuffing, then what was he going to do with the sliced pork that was as thin as a cicada's wing?
Everyone was a little confused, but the surrounding onlookers were cheering endlessly. Bu Fang's handsome movements of processing the ingredients had completely amazed them.
It turned out that chefs were really handsome when they were serious!
After the stuffing was ready, Bu Fang used clean water to wash his hands. His slender and fair palms were stained with water, and he also used a clean cloth to wipe them clean. Then, Bu Fang took out a big bag of flour. This was the flour that Bu Fang had asked the young eunuch to find for him. It was the best quality flour in the imperial city.
Although it was not as good as the flour prepared by the system, Bu Fang pinched his fingers and sniffed it. He was quite satisfied.
The true energy vortex in his dantian revolved and the true energy wrapped around his palms. Bu Fang's expression suddenly became serious. He poured the flour into a big basin, then poured some warm water into it and began to stir it. Under the mix of true energy, the flour quickly gathered together.
Bang!
When the flour was kneaded until it was somewhat smooth, Bu Fang slapped it out with his palm. This large lump of dough floated in the air, and Bu Fang casually slapped it with his palm. With a slap, he directly slapped it.
The lump of dough trembled, then continued to fly up. When it landed again, Bu Fang wrapped it with true energy and swatted it again.
Just like that, this lump of dough was like a ball that was constantly swatted away by Bu Fang. It landed again, was swatted away again, and landed again …
Xiao Meng, who was sitting at a table not far away, immediately focused his gaze. With his cultivation level, he could naturally see Bu Fang's small movements. Every slap from Bu Fang was actually not a simple slap. When a slap landed on the lump of dough, it would cause the whole lump of dough to tremble. A layer of formless waves would instantly surge out, giving the lump of dough a new look.
To put it simply, every time Bu Fang patted it, it was as if the lump of dough was refurbished from the inside out …
This was a very high level of true energy control technique. The requirements for true energy control were extremely strict. Xiao Meng knew that he would have to go through a lot of training in order to achieve this.
This move of Bu Fang's once again caused the crowd to exclaim in surprise. It was too showy, too flirtatious!
Ouyang Xiaoyi grinned and said, "I didn't expect the smelly boss to be so flirtatious and flashy when he's cooking! Hehehe! "
Xiao Yanyu also covered her mouth and laughed. Indeed, when she thought of Bu Fang's usual serious and flirtatious appearance, and then looked at his flirtatious appearance as he patted the dough in front of the stove, she suddenly could not help but laugh.
The dough was already kneaded … It seemed like Bu Fang's dish was about to come out as well. Could it be a bun? Or the new Golden Shumai?
Many people were puzzled and guessed endlessly. There were many dishes that required dough. However, as for what dish it was, it was debatable. Judging from the way Bu Fang handled the stuffing, it was impossible to guess.
After the dough was kneaded, the entire dough was emitting hot steam. This was caused by Bu Fang's true energy. Every time he refurbished it, the intense friction was enough to make the dough extremely hot.
The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife spun and rapidly cut the dough into small lumps. Bu Fang then placed the pieces of dough to the side.
"Come over and start a fire. Boil the water in the wok." Bu Fang waved his hand at the little eunuch who was standing in the distance, dazzled by his own flirtatious appearance.
Then, Bu Fang heaved a sigh of relief and raised his head to look at his surroundings.
The dishes of the chefs around him were almost done and were beginning the final finishing stage. The rich aroma of the dishes rose and lingered in the entire Gate of Heavenly Mystery. The sky above the Gate of Heavenly Mystery seemed to have become hazy, as if the aroma had condensed into clouds.
This scene was very shocking. It was a rare sight to see in a hundred years. With so many chefs cooking at the same time, the scale of the scene was too large.
Bu Fang withdrew his gaze and ignored the completion of the dishes around him. His slender fingers nimbly trembled for a moment, then he picked up a slice of pork that was as thin as a cicada's wing and poured the mixed stuffing into it. With a pinch of his hand, it was kneaded into a ball. Taking a dough lump, Bu Fang pressed it into a thin dough crust and wrapped the stuffing into the dough crust.
When the dough crust was rolled up, layers of wrinkles appeared on it and curved like a crescent moon. It was as exquisite as a work of art.
Crescent Moon Dumplings, the most classic method of wrapping dumplings. That's right, the dish that Bu Fang chose to make was dumplings.
It was not an ordinary dumpling, but a dish that Bu Fang modified based on the system's latest Rainbow Water Dumplings reward. It was suitable for the masses to eat together.
