Chapter 426 The Chef is also a Face Lover
"It's just eight dishes. Don't be so proud. Let's compare them in ten years!" Wen Xinyuan glared.
The fat man raised his eyebrows in triumph, and just as he opened his mouth to attack twice more, he saw the countdown on the screen out of the corner of his eye and closed his mouth again.
There were five minutes left in the game. On the big screen, Yu Yiyuan had already turned on the stove, and Guan Yingxia was not in a hurry. She grabbed the rice noodles with her hands and pulled apart the rice noodles that were stuck together one by one.
Yu Yiyuan turned on the fires of two stoves at the same time, put a pot in one to boil water, and then heated the pot with cold oil in the other to stir-fry the shredded meat.
Guan Yingxia finished tearing the rice noodles, turned on the stove, selected a frying pan, and put the beef in over high heat.
When the shredded meat in Yu Yiyuan's pot changes color, pour the shredded meat and oil into a colander, leaving some oil at the bottom. Heat over medium-low heat and add dried chili peppers, garlic and ginger.
Guan Yingxia shook the pan slightly with her left hand, and used chopsticks in her right hand to break up the beef. After frying both sides until they changed color, she poured out the oil, turned down the heat, and continued to fry the meat, while turning on another stove.
The water in another pot has been boiled. Yu Yiyuan puts in the chopped dried tofu and pours all the other ingredients except the leeks into the wok to stir-fry.
Guan Yingxia heated up another wok with cold oil, poured in a little more oil, heated it up, turned on high heat, added the rice noodles, and shook the wok quickly while glancing at the pan-seared beef from time to time.
After a few stir-fries, the ingredients in the pot became soft. Yu Yiyuan used a colander to scoop out the blanched tofu in another pot and drained the water slightly. Then he put them into the pot and stir-fried them together, and then added the leeks.
Guan Yingxia was not in a hurry to move the rice noodles in the pan. She just kept shaking the pan. She would fry one side for a while before flipping it over and frying the other side. In the meantime, she would use chopsticks to stir the beef in the pan from time to time.
The leeks remained firm during the continuous stir-frying. Yu Yiyuan raised his hand and put the shredded meat in the colander back into the pot and poured the starch into the bowl.
Guan Yingxia turned off the heat in the pan and flipped the rice noodles over again. The rice noodles were now slightly burnt, and Guan Yingxia took a look and lowered the heat on the stove over the rice noodles.
Yu Yiyuan turned up the heat and continued to stir-fry for twenty seconds. When the stir-fry was ready, Yu Yiyuan raised his hand to signal.
There are two and a half minutes left.
Guan Yingxia adds onion and bean sprouts, stir-fry for a few times and turn to the highest heat. Pour in a spoonful of light soy sauce, pause for a moment, add beef, and then pour in a second dose of light soy sauce, continue to stir-fry quickly, then add leeks and green onions, and at the same time add half a spoonful of dark soy sauce to adjust the color, continue to stir-fry, and stir well before serving.
Guan Yingxia raised her hand.
There are two minutes left.
"Huh." Wen Xinyuan swallowed and exhaled. "Watching them compete, I can't help but get nervous."
Zhao Xiaojing and Fatty finally came back to their senses, and they were also concentrating on watching the two people cooking.
"Guess how many votes she got?" Wen Xinyuan winked at the fat man.
"Ten votes, no need to guess."
"Did you all..." Zhao Xiaojing was about to ask if they had simplified the steps and done the speedy version when she heard a commotion around them. She turned around and found that Yu Yiyuan had come in.
"Oh my god, he has grown up after not seeing him for a few years."
"Handsome, really handsome."
“Their family has really good genes!”
"Hmph, try smoking it with oil smoke for a few years."
"His father smoked fumes his whole life, yet he's still better looking than other old men his age. It's a genetic problem. Do you think you look like this because of smoking fumes?"
"What's the point of being handsome? If I have the ability... well, forget it."
"Why don't you say anything? You also know that he is capable?"
Amidst the loud and conspiratorial whispers, Zhao Xiaojing looked at Yu Yiyuan with amusement.
Yu Yiyuan's eyes dropped, and he walked straight in expressionlessly, ignoring the discussion that had been going on since he opened the door. He looked more energetic and refreshed today than yesterday, standing out among the greasy male chefs, especially with his black hair and clean white shirt.
He is indeed handsome, but such handsome guys are not uncommon in real life. The reason why he has caused such a lot of discussion is probably because he is a chef and a family heir.
But speaking of which, so many people here know him, and I only heard these gossips and stories from others today. It seems that I am indeed a blind wanderer in the culinary world.
"This second-generation rich guy's face is so disgusting!" Wen Xinyuan heard the discussions around him and began to feel unbalanced again.
Just at this moment Yu Yiyuan approached, looked up and glanced, his eyes swept over the face of Wen Xinyuan who was speaking at the side, and Wen Xinyuan turned away guiltily, then he looked at Zhao Xiaojing, the fat man, and finally his eyes fixed on Zhao Xiaojing's face, frowning as if he was confused for a moment, before walking to the back row and sitting down.
"Sister, although I am not in the same circle with them, do you know what was their best quality when I was in the same circle with them?" As soon as Yu Yiyuan left, the fat man immediately looked at Zhao Xiaojing with a smile.
Zhao Xiaojing smiled, knowing that the game was over and the two of them had no time to hurt each other by making indirect accusations, so she didn't respond.
"It's because I have a good attitude. My father and master kicked me out, so I stayed outside. My master kicked me, so I just endured it. I'm not as good-looking as others, so I admire their heroic figures. The family mines don't belong to me, so I don't think about them. I can't cook as well as others, so I make more time to cook."
"Hmm...hmm? Is that it?" Zhao Xiaojing was waiting for the next words, thinking that the fat man said so much just to pave the way for a blow to Wen Xinyuan. However, after waiting for a long time, the fat man didn't say anything else.
So great and glorious?
"That's it. The rest is up to you. Leaving blank space is an art." The fat man smiled slyly.
Zhao Xiaojing glanced at Wen Xinyuan. It was obvious that Wen Xinyuan had grasped this art. His face turned pale and blue, but the fat man only talked about himself, so he had no way to fight back.
Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh. Although the two of them hurt each other, it was obvious that Wen Xinyuan was more seriously injured. After all, the fat man was just a piece of tough meat.
Before Wen Xinyuan could speak, the door of Hall 2 was pushed open again, and the discussion in the contestant seats began to heat up again.
"Who is this beautiful woman? I just saw her. She looks quite impressive. Do you know her?"
"I don't know her, but she's really beautiful! I was just staring at her and Yu Yiyuan's faces during the live broadcast! It would be so easy to make a living just by looking good, why did you end up doing this?"
"She looks even prettier in person than on camera! I've seen a real beauty!"
"There are a lot of beautiful women today. Didn't you see the girl sitting with those two up front? She's pretty too!"
"Well, they just like to flirt with pretty girls. Why would they be so attentive if she wasn't pretty?"
"But that beautiful lady looks familiar to me!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaojing turned her head to look at the door, and as expected, she saw Guan Yingxia.
These chefs are really obsessed with appearances. Every good-looking person who walks in will cause a stir. But when they say "those two" sitting together, are they talking about themselves?
"Oh, Xia Xia!" Wen Xinyuan also saw Guan Yingxia coming towards him, and frantically signaled to the fat man over Zhao Xiaojing.
