The pot just got burnt and black smoke is everywhere.

On the other side, there was a crackling sound in the pot.

The person who was cooking was burned directly by the hot oil and screamed in pain.

Even the people who were cooking next to him were afraid of being implicated and had to stay away from him.

Mr. Cen on the stage remained calm. He had seen many such accidents, and today's one was no big deal.

During a cooking competition in the past, someone threw himself into the pot and almost cooked himself so that everyone could have more food.

Mr. Cen calmly called people in and carried the scalded person out. Immediately, a doctor who had been waiting outside came forward to help treat the burns.

As for the other person who messed up the pot, Mr. Cen decided to give him another chance. As long as he could clean the pot himself, he could make it again.

It’s a pity that this man himself was useless. Looking at the bottom of the pot that he had burned into black, he gave up the competition and left the venue amid the laughter of the onlookers.

Fortunately, Mrs. Ye was far away from the two men, so she was not affected at all.

After peeling and deboning the chicken legs, she carefully removed all the fascia, loosened them with the back of a knife, then chopped them into long strips and then into small pieces.

Then add soy sauce to the diced chicken thighs and mix well to make it taste good. Then take out the scallion and ginger water that has been soaked earlier, add a little cooking wine and stir well. Add it to the diced chicken thighs three times, and stir patiently each time until all the scallion and ginger water is absorbed.

The diced chicken will be more tender if it absorbs enough water.

Zhang Chuanlu had been paying attention to what was happening on Ye Dasao's side. Seeing her chopping the chicken legs loudly, he really couldn't tell what dish she was going to cook.

Mrs. Ye then added flour to the diced chicken thighs and continued to mix well.

The diced chicken thighs covered with flour will be more tender and smooth.

Finally, pour in two spoons of sesame oil to lock the moisture in the diced chicken thighs and set aside to marinate.

After marinating the diced chicken thighs, Mrs. Ye began to prepare the sauce.

While Zhang Chuanlu was cooking his own dishes, he kept looking up at Mrs. Ye. It was not until he saw her taking out peanuts to fry them that he suddenly realized something and slapped his thigh.

It turns out that women are the most petty.

What Mrs. Ye made today was Kung Pao Chicken.

She once criticized the Kung Pao Chicken at Yanbinlou and criticized it badly. Today, when she came to participate in the competition, she specially made this dish to put pressure on herself.

The more Zhang Chuanlu thought about it, the angrier he became, and the harder he chopped with the kitchen knife in his hand.

Although the dish of Kung Pao Chicken was made by an apprentice, he was the eldest apprentice that he was most proud of, and he was also the only one among the apprentices who could take over and cook a few main dishes when he was too busy.

He personally taught his eldest apprentice all his skills. Although they had not yet reached his own level, he was quite satisfied with them. He felt that most of the time they had reached a level where they could be mistaken for the real thing.

Who knew that he would be criticized by Mrs. Ye for nothing.

Although it was the apprentice who was embarrassed, it was no different from slapping him in the face.

And today, Mrs. Ye actually wanted to make Kung Pao Chicken herself, and she used chicken thighs. It was really outrageous!

Zhang Chuanlu was staring at Mrs. Ye and didn't notice that the vegetables he was cutting on the chopping board had been chopped into dumpling fillings.

Xu Lei was so anxious watching from outside that he almost died. He could not care about anything else and could only yell at the top of his voice: "Zhang Chuanlu, pay attention!"

Elder Cen on the stage locked his sharp gaze on Xu Lei instantly, and sternly shouted, "If you keep yelling, get out!"

Xu Lei was so frightened that he dared not speak.

Fortunately, after hearing his shout, Zhang Chuanlu came to his senses immediately. He looked down and saw the ingredients that he had chopped into a paste, and quickly threw them into the trash can beside him.

Fortunately, he had taken double portions of all the ingredients except the chicken just in case.

But Mr. Cen also paid attention to Zhang Chuanlu because of Xu Lei's shouting.

"Please don't waste food. Serious wastage will result in direct disqualification!"

Zhang Chuanlu knew that Mr. Cen was ordering him, so he didn't dare to be distracted anymore and focused his energy on the dish he was cooking.

Mrs. Ye was concentrating on frying peanuts and was completely unaware of the little incident happening behind her.

She held a spatula in her hand and kept stirring the peanuts in the pot.

When the crackling sound of the peanuts becomes smaller, take them out and let them cool immediately. Any hesitation will result in them being overcooked.

Fried peanuts that are fried at just the right temperature not only look beautiful in color after cooling down, but also taste crispy and crunchy, which can add a lot of flavor to this dish.

After completing this step, Mrs. Ye slowed down and started rubbing here and there.

If Zhang Chuanlu continued to observe Mrs. Ye, he would immediately understand that she was wasting time and didn't want to finish the dish so early. She wanted to wait until the middle of the table.

But Zhang Chuanlu didn't dare to be distracted now, so he didn't notice it.

At this time, some people have already come up to the stage with the dishes they prepared.

However, the expressions of several people in the stands after trying the food did not seem very satisfied.

Mrs. Ye silently counted the number of people going up in her mind. After twenty people had gone up, she immediately started heating the oil to prepare cooking.

Heat the oil used to fry the peanuts over high heat, pour the marinated diced chicken thighs into the pan and stir-fry until they change color, then serve.

Then re-wash the pot, pour in rapeseed oil and heat it, add dried chili peppers and peppercorns.

When the aroma starts to come out of the pot, pour in the diced chicken thighs that you just fried, stir-fry over high heat, then add onions, ginger, and garlic to stir-fry until fragrant. Finally, pour in the seasoning sauce that you prepared earlier and stir-fry until the sauce is reduced.

The smell coming from Mrs. Ye's pot quickly attracted the attention of several chefs around.
