Making dumplings was not a difficult task for Bu Fang and Yan Yu.
Their movements were extremely skilled. However, compared to Yan Yu's movements, Bu Fang's movements were more methodical.
Bu Fang's movements were not fast, but it was pleasing to the eyes. It was as though he was making a piece of art. It was filled with calmness.
On the other hand, Yan Yu was completely different. His movements were like a performance. That gorgeous and dazzling movement caused many people to sigh in admiration.
As time passed, the number of dumplings the two of them made increased.
Yan Yu's gaze occasionally lifted up. His hands did not slow down as he looked at Bu Fang with a playful and cold smile.
With a move of his hands, the twelve pleated dumplings were completely wrapped by him.
Bu Fang's dumplings were the traditional crescent moon dumplings. The dumplings were as exquisite and elegant as the crescent moon. Although it did not look very shocking, that kind of exquisite beauty was very enjoyable.
When Bu Fang finished wrapping the last dumpling and placed it on the porcelain plate, Yan Yu had already cupped his fists and calmly looked at Bu Fang.
In front of Yan Yu, many dumplings were arranged neatly like a blooming flower. It was extremely dazzling and mesmerizing.
On the other side, he had already set up the wok. Flames spurted out, burning fiercely under the wok.
As a special grade chef of the Valley of Gluttony, Yan Yu's cooking utensils were naturally not ordinary. That wok was also not ordinary. It was made of precious materials and could accurately conduct the temperature of the flames, as well as give feedback to the ingredients.
The hot water in the wok was boiling, and the gurgling steam rushed up to the sky. It was misty, and it attacked people's eyes.
That steam hit their faces, bringing with it a slightly sweet taste.
When the temperature was just right, Yan Yu took out a row of steamers.
This steamer was not big, but it was made of very exquisite materials. The material seemed to be emitting a sparkling radiance, as though it was flickering like the stars.
Many people sucked in a breath of cold air, looking at the steamer in disbelief.
A steamer that was emitting starlight. Without a doubt, the material used to make this steamer was Starlight Bamboo. Starlight Bamboo was extremely precious, and this Yan Yu actually used it to make a steamer.
It was indeed a big deal …
Yan Yu placed the dumplings into the steamer basket one by one. The bottom of the steamer basket was covered with a layer of fragrant spirit herb leaves. The lush spirit herb leaves were glistening with a bright light.
After placing all the dumplings into the nine-layered Starlight Bamboo Steamer, Bu Fang placed them into the pot and began to steam.
After doing all this, Yan Yu took a step back and let out a long sigh of relief.
Although he had been very confident, he didn't dare to be careless when it came to Bu Fang.
This Chef's Challenge was related to his future. If he failed, Chu Changsheng would kill him immediately.
If he won, with his understanding of Chu Changsheng, the other would definitely let him leave unscathed.
Hence, no matter what, he had to win this Chef's Challenge!
Moreover … losing to a little chef like Bu Fang, Yan Yu would also feel that he had lost all his face.
He wasn't Ouyang Chenfeng or the others. He was Yan Yu, the special grade chef who ranked first on the Tablet of Gluttony.
His pride was something that Ouyang Chenfeng and the others could not understand, because they were not at the same level as him.
Only by steaming the dumplings could he maintain the original flavor of the dumpling filling.
Only then could the Eight Petal Snow Lotus' taste be fully displayed.
Of course, Yan Yu also liked to use steamed dumplings. As for other methods of cooking dumplings, he didn't dare to agree …
Taking out a white porcelain bowl, Yan Yu started to prepare the sauce while he was steaming the dumplings.
When eating dumplings, one naturally needed sauce. Dipping the dumplings in the sauce would definitely increase the taste of the dumplings to another level.
Therefore, to Yan Yu, the sauce was indispensable.
However, how to prepare a good sauce was also a problem. To Yan Yu, this so-called problem wasn't a problem at all.
Taking out a huge porcelain jar, he opened the lid of the jar. Instantly, a thick vinegar aroma wafted out.
Everyone's eyes slightly lit up, and they couldn't help but take in a deep breath.
This vinegar aroma wasn't pungent, but it was very alluring. Obviously, this vinegar wasn't ordinary.
Yan Yu carefully went to a bamboo tube and scooped out half a spoon of vinegar from the jar.
The color of this vinegar was dark brown. It was incomparably clear and didn't have any impurities. With a sniff, the sour smell instantly filled the air, causing everyone's taste buds to be instantly enveloped by the vinegar.
It was so sour that the roots of one's teeth became a little soft …
He poured the vinegar into the white jade bowl.
Yan Yu carefully put away the vinegar. Then, he added the other seasonings into the white jade bowl.
Of course, the vinegar was the main seasoning.
Then, he added some spicy seasonings, causing the taste of the sauce to become even more fiery.
After the sauce was prepared, it was placed to the side. Yan Yu's gaze landed on the steamer. Within the steamer, steam had already started to surge out.
The fragrance of the dumplings finally slowly spread out.
The entire Noodle King Restaurant was instantly enveloped by this fragrance. Everyone couldn't help but twitch their noses, greedily sniffing the fragrance that filled the air.
Within this fragrance, there was an irresistible ice-cold aura. That was the smell of the Snow Lotus …
That was an ingredient that was close to a divine medicine!
Sizzle! Sizzle!
However, just as everyone was immersed in the fragrance that was spreading out from the steamer …
The sound of the dumplings entering the wok rang out in an instant. Everyone's intoxicated mood was broken, and they couldn't help but turn their gazes toward the direction where the sound came from.
Everyone was dumbfounded …
Because they realized that Bu Fang had actually placed the dumplings into the wok and deep-fried them?!
Xiaopi's entire body was emitting steam. He lazily laid on Bu Fang's shoulder, spitting out bubbles from his mouth.
The Black Turtle Constellation Wok was filled with oil. A few pieces of dumplings were thrown into the wok by Bu Fang and started to deep-fry. In just an instant, the dumplings started to churn, and white bubbles rapidly rolled out.
The dumpling skin turned murky yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye …
Bu Fang held a long pair of chopsticks in his hand. In the Noodle King Restaurant, there were many chopsticks like this.
The chopsticks entered the wok of oil and quickly flipped. Bu Fang's gaze focused on the dumplings in the wok. Then, in the next instant, he fiercely flicked it.
That dumpling, steaming hot, flew out and landed on the porcelain plate. On the surface, there were still bubbles bursting.
Everyone's eyes widened … They looked at Bu Fang with incomparable shock.
Bu Fang actually wanted to deep-fry dumplings?
Although deep-fried dumplings were good, it would lose the soft and smooth texture of the dumpling skin. Originally, he was already at a disadvantage in terms of ingredients. Now, he even wanted to deep-fry the dumplings … The only thing that could compete with Yan Yu was gone.
That was a sure loss!
Many people's hearts sank. When they saw that Bu Fang actually chose to deep-fry dumplings, they were a little silent. Their gazes were a little complicated.
Outside the window, Mu Cheng and the others all furrowed their brows. They seemed to be a little puzzled as they looked at this scene.
They didn't understand why Bu Fang would choose to deep-fry dumplings … This was a completely suicidal choice!
When Yan Yu saw that Bu Fang was making deep-fried dumplings, his eyes instantly emitted a bright light. The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing an excited smile!
"Idiot! You want to use deep-fried dumplings to win against me? "
Yan Yu revealed a cold smile. In the next instant, his palm fiercely patted the steamer basket.
True energy surged up, instantly filling the steamer basket. With a buzzing sound, within the steamer basket, hot steam billowed, spreading out from the cracks of the steamer basket!
All of a sudden, the entire audience once again burst into an uproar …
Yan Yu was stunned, raising his head.
Suddenly looking over, his eyes instantly shrank.
Because he realized that Bu Fang had changed again.
This time … it was actually Dry Dredged Dumplings?!
What was going on? What did this kid want to do? Could it be that he wanted to cook all the dumplings?!
And as if confirming his guess, Bu Fang's next action completely caused an uproar.
Because Bu Fang really cooked the dumplings in different ways …
The fragrance surged, and the fried dumplings were out of the pot.
The steamer basket was set up, and the dumplings were steamed …
All kinds of dumplings were cooked by Bu Fang, placed on the stove.
What kind of trick was this?!
At this moment, everyone became a little confused and puzzled.
Everyone was a little confused by Bu Fang's cooking method.
Those who originally thought that they had seen through Bu Fang were stunned. Cooking so many kinds of dumplings … Was Bu Fang going to make a big mess of dumplings?!
Bu Fang's hand turned.
Instantly, a huge round blue-and-white porcelain plate appeared in his hand.
That blue-and-white porcelain plate had blue and white intertwined, looking very plump.
He placed the cooked dumplings on the plate.
Fried dumplings in one position, fried dumplings in another position, Dry Dredged Dumplings in another position, steamed dumplings in another position … Yan Yu's eyes finally shrank, feeling a trace of seriousness.
However, at this moment, he no longer had the mood to care about Bu Fang.
His palm fiercely patted the steamer basket. Instantly, true energy surged out, and the steam surging out of the steamer basket gradually converged.
Yan Yu moved the nine-layer steamer basket out of the hot pot.
At this moment, everyone held their breath, staring at the nine-layer steamer basket.
Bu Fang also took out the dumplings from the steamer basket, placing them on the stove. He placed the steamed dumplings on the blue-and-white porcelain plate. That porcelain plate was like a blooming flower …
In the middle, there was a circle. That was where the sauce was placed.
When eating dumplings, of course, there must be sauce. This point, whether it was Yan Yu or Bu Fang, both agreed.
Eating dumplings with sauce … would definitely have a different taste.
As for the sauce …
The corners of Bu Fang's mouth rose. Then, with a shake of his hand, he took out the Abyssal Chili Sauce. He scooped up a spoonful, poured it into the porcelain plate, and began to mix the sauce.
What else was more suitable than the Abyssal Chili Sauce to make a sauce?
That kind of spicy to the point of exploding, spicy to the point of burning desire, spicy to the point of causing people to doubt the world, was extremely enjoyable.
With the addition of Xiaopi's bathwater … No, Xiaopi's energy released into the spirit soup, the sauce would definitely be perfect!
Slightly shaking the porcelain bowl, the black-red sauce in the bowl emitted a wave of tempting fragrance, giving people a feeling of exploring to the bottom.
Pouring the sauce into the center of the blue-and-white porcelain plate, a splashing sound rang out. Then, Bu Fang finished his dish.
Buzz …
Steam rose from each type of dumpling, suddenly gathering above the porcelain plate.
In the next instant, the steam above the porcelain plate actually changed, actually turning into the appearance of all kinds of spirit beasts.
There were those that flew in the sky, those that walked on the ground, those that swam in the water … There was everything that one could think of.
In the end, the entire dish emitted a sparkling radiance, the steam crisscrossing, it was too beautiful to behold.
Bu Fang took off the velvet rope that tied his hair, and his hair broke free, scattering like a waterfall.
Slightly raising his eyes, he looked at Yan Yu, who had also finished filling the plate, and calmly said, "Four Divisions Crescent Moon Dumplings … Done."
Yan Yu also rubbed his hand, and a rich fragrance gushed out, accompanied by rolling steam.
He grinned, coldly saying, "Snow Lotus Crystal Dumplings … Done!"
