Chapter 131: Stir-fried Liver Tips
"You, you don't know how to feel sorry for your sister. Okay, give me the lunch box, I'll go heat it up and talk to you when I come back."
Wang Liwen smiled sweetly, and there was no trace of the pitiful look before.
Du Shaojie stayed in the hospital for more than an hour. After all, the other party was still at work, and it was not good for him to sit for a long time.
Wang Liwen felt that she was very happy that Du Shaojie could come to deliver the meal, and it didn't matter whether he stayed for a long time or not.
The highlight of the Chinese New Year is naturally eating and drinking, and this also provides Du Shaojie with a great opportunity to practice various dishes.
During the entire Chinese New Year, Xiaomei and Xiaoya were the happiest, because there were delicious food almost every day. It is said that "you gain three pounds during the Chinese New Year", and these two guys gained at least five pounds.
After the Chinese New Year, Du Shaojie ushered in the third round of the competition.
Starting from the third round, the round-robin competition system was adopted. The third and fourth rounds were seamlessly connected, and finally 12 players were selected based on the comprehensive results to go to Chang'an to participate in the semi-finals of the Northwest Division.
The players who can get to this point basically have two brushes.
Du Shaojie did not dare to underestimate the enemy. In his spare time, he conducted a lot of simulation training and participated in the simulation competition of Group B3. Now, he can easily enter the semi-finals of Group B3, but he cannot do it for the time being.
The highest comprehensive evaluation of the dishes he has made so far has only reached the level of "up and down". In the same way, if you want to make a breakthrough, you still need time to settle.
[Duration: 2200 hours\15376 hours]
After consuming thousands of hours, Du Shaojie finally ushered in the last game of the fourth round.
The dish that needs to be made in this game is [Stir-fried Liver Tips], which is a very common dish, but it has very high requirements for the chef's knife skills, seasoning, and control of the heat.
However, Du Shaojie is very sure about the dishes of pork offal. [Stir-fried Liver Tips] highlights the salty and fragrant taste. The liver must be fried tender, and the fishy smell of the organs must be perfectly removed.
Stir-frying and stir-frying are different techniques. Du Shaojie silently recalled the technical points in his mind and then started to make it.
The first thing is to deal with the ingredients. After washing the liver, don't rush to cut it. Prepare the auxiliary ingredients and small ingredients first.
The auxiliary ingredients are very simple. The soaked fungus and magnolia slices are blanched in water first, drain the water and cut them, and set them aside for later use.
The small ingredients are green onions, ginger, garlic and garlic sprouts. In order to ensure the consistency of the appearance of the dish, the green onions are cut into eyebrow green onions, the garlic
sprouts are cut obliquely, and the ginger and garlic are sliced. Then start cutting the liver. The liver is cut into the shape of willow leaves and put in a bowl for later use.
Du Shaojie then started to heat the pan, poured in a wide pan of oil, and let the oil temperature rise slowly.
While waiting for the oil temperature to rise, he prepared a bowl of thickening.
Put salt, pepper, soy sauce, a little vinegar, a little white sugar, sesame oil, cooking wine, green onion and ginger water in the bowl, and then add water starch and stir evenly.
Finally, separate half of the prepared green onions, ginger and garlic and put them in the bowl of thickening, which is just a large bowl of soup.
Du Shaojie took the chopped pork liver, added a little salt to adjust the base flavor, added dry starch and mixed evenly, and finally drizzled a little sesame oil.
At this time, the oil temperature in the pot has also risen. When the oil temperature is 70% to 80% hot, put the pork liver directly into the pot, quickly spread it with chopsticks, and pour it out to control the oil.
The whole process only takes five or six seconds, and the pork liver will become hard over time.
Leave some oil in the pot, heat it over high heat, put the scallions, ginger and garlic into the pot to sauté, then add the fungus and magnolia slices and stir quickly.
Add the pork liver, stir-fry quickly for a few times, and pour in the prepared sauce.
When the sauce is set, add the garlic sprouts and stir-fry twice, cook a little vinegar on the side of the pot, drizzle with bright oil and serve immediately.
This [Stir-fried liver tip] is a quick dish, just cooked, the taste must be fresh and tender, and it will be judged as a failure if it is overcooked.
"Pa pa pa"
there was a burst of applause all around. Du Shaojie looked up and saw that a group of judges had already stood around the operating table.
There were only 20 contestants left in the fourth round. The top 12 contestants with the best comprehensive scores could enter the semi-finals.
Du Shaojie was so absorbed in cooking that he didn't pay attention to the situation around him.
But judging from the applause from the judges, he thought that he had a high chance of winning. It was a sure win.
Du Shaojie raised his hand and stepped aside.
"His knife skills are very good. Look at the way he cut the pork liver. This is called willow leaf!"
"The heat is well controlled. The pork liver is just cooked and very tender."
"The 'stir-frying' technique is very skillful, and the stir-frying technique is also very skillful. The production process is done in one go."
"The dish has a bright color, the sauce is evenly wrapped, and the appearance is first-class."
The judges began to comment and score from all angles. His final comprehensive score was 95 points.
After all the contestants' scores came out, they were sorted and the list of 12 winning contestants was announced on the spot.
Among them, Du Shaojie topped the list with a comprehensive score of 95 points and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
It was already past 3 pm when I got home.
This time, I didn't come back hungry. The organizers of the competition provided meals and later told the winners about the next arrangements before disbanding.
"Mom, I won. I will go to Chang'an to participate in the semi-finals at the end of this month."
Du Shaojie hurriedly reported the good news when he saw Wang Yuxiu at the door.
It is of course a happy thing to be able to participate in the semi-finals.
"That's great! You should prepare well and strive to get better results. Today is a good day, son, mom will make dumplings for you tonight."
Wang Yuxiu was of course very happy. She then went to the street to buy pork for one yuan, and came back to start kneading dough and chopping meat stuffing.
Du Shaojie did not intervene. This was his mother's way of expressing her joy. He only needed to wait to eat the ready-made dumplings.
When Xiaomei and Xiaoya came home from school and saw Wang Yuxiu making dumplings, they immediately responded, "Brother, did you win the competition?"
"Yes, I won. I will win again when we go to Chang'an for the semi-finals at the end of the month!"
Du Shaojie laughed out loud. In front of his sister, he didn't need to hide anything. It didn't matter if
he was a little arrogant. In the eyes of Xiaomei and Xiaoya, their brother was the best. No difficulty could stump him.
"Brother, you are the best!"
"Brother, come on!"
The two girls jumped and danced happily, happier than they were when they won the competition.
After dinner.
Su Dapeng came to inquire about the news. He was also happy for Du Shaojie when he learned that he had advanced to the semi-finals.
"However, if you leave, no one will help me make [Dezhou Braised Chicken]. Since there is still some time until the end of the month, can you help me make more?"
Su Dapeng got a lot of benefits through resource exchange, or sometimes just selling it directly to others.
He couldn't do it himself. He didn't have the skills or the recipe. So, before Du Shaojie completely refused, he would ask others to make as much as he could.
"Okay! I have two days off next. You go and prepare the raw materials."
Du Shaojie didn't refuse. He always felt that he was about to make a breakthrough in [Dezhou Braised Chicken], and he only needed the final touch.
There is no shortcut to cooking. You either have to do more in reality or accumulate more experience in the simulation training (competition) scene. When you have enough skills, you may be able to achieve a leap with a flash of inspiration.
Another thing is that Dapeng did not lose himself. The production cost (excluding ingredients) is actually not much. He can still save 60 or 70 cents for the processing fee of one dollar.
Su Dapeng immediately stood up and said goodbye. He needed to contact the white strip chicken and try to send it over as soon as possible.
In the evening, Du Shaojie counted his gains.
[Bound chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: Level 2 chef] [
Current work: Braised liver tip
] [Comprehensive evaluation: up and down] [
Bonus: Simulation chef skills competition duration (60 hours)]
[Reward: Exchange points (6 points), simulation training duration (60 hours)]
[Special reward: None]
[Exchange points: 627 points\656 points]
[Duration: 2320 hours\15496 hours]
for two consecutive days.
Su Dapeng would deliver 30 white-striped chickens every day. He not only helped to carry water, but also went to buy coal with Du Shaojie.
In two days, a total of 60 [Dezhou Braised Chicken] were made. Du Shaojie felt that his understanding of this dish had deepened a little, but it was still not to the point of a breakthrough.
But he was not in a hurry, maybe one day it would come naturally.
In two days, the exchange points increased by 12 points and the duration increased by 240 hours, which was a small gain.
[Exchange points: 639 points\668 points]
[Duration: 2560 hours\15736 hours]
The next day.
Du Shaojie went to the unit early in the morning. There were some things that needed to be said in person to Yao Liwen and Wang Xuejun.
Of course, it was okay if he didn't go, and the notice might have been issued to the unit. The 12 winning contestants will have centralized training from now on, and the location will be at Xijiang Hotel.
In other words, Du Shaojie is now fully off-duty until the competition is completely over.
"Master Du, it's great, you've made it to the semi-finals! Next, you can participate in the competition with peace of mind, and it would be best if you can make it all the way to Beijing.
In order to commend your excellent performance in the preliminary round, our hotel has decided to give you 50 yuan as a reward, and the bureau will also give you a 50 yuan reward."
Manager Yao saw Du Shaojie and smiled from ear to ear, giving him a thumbs up.
Du Shaojie's performance has exceeded everyone's expectations, and being able to enter the semi-finals is a victory.
The hotel and the bureau rewarded Du Shaojie a total of 100 yuan, which is not much, just more than one month but less than two months' salary.
But it was full of sincerity. After all, material rewards are not important now, and they are generally spiritual rewards. It is already a special care for him.
Du Shaojie immediately expressed his gratitude and left Manager Yao's office.
Then he went to the kitchen to take a look, chatted with everyone for a while, and then went to Xijiang Hotel to report.
The registration time ends at 1 pm. The 12 contestants have been eating and sleeping in the hotel these days, and they are not allowed to go home until two days before leaving for Chang'an.
Afternoon.
All the people are here.
Du Shaojie realized that the relevant parties actually took this competition very seriously. The chefs who trained the 12 of them these days were all top-class chefs, including two old acquaintances, Liao Yongxin and Zhong Fuxiang.
The training teachers also lived in the hotel, which was actually a closed training.
In less than half a month, Du Shaojie felt that he had gained a lot. In addition, he also had to conduct simulation training every day, and his cooking skills had improved significantly.
Thank you all for voting!
