The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 143: Lifting the Ban on Physical Fitness! (Two chapters in one)

Because it is "Ganges Fried Noodles", there are 108 ingredients and none of them can be missing.

Hence, it was also the first time that Xia An held the broken saber in the night market and used all his strength to perform the "trace" stunt of ancient kitchen utensils.

The Seven Stars Breaking Army Swift Cutting Technique, which has been mastered to a certain degree, allows the long and narrow kitchen blade to dance wildly and process the ingredients without any flaws.

"Crack!"

"Click, click!"

A knife, a cooking skill.

But it is like an all-purpose kitchen processing machine.

Not to mention foreign tourists.

The diners at Shenzhen Station also started discussing the topic enthusiastically.

Tens of thousands of people gathered on the night market street. Fortunately, Shenzhen’s cultural and tourism sector had already made proper arrangements. A super-large live broadcast screen like a concert had been erected high behind the stalls.

Therefore, even if you stand at the edge of the night market, you can still stand on tiptoe to watch the broadcast screen and witness Xia An displaying his knife skills and fully processing the ingredients.

"Is this the Seven Stars Breaking Army Swift Cutting Technique?"

"This is outrageous! Is this an ancient skill or a method of transforming into a human form?"

"On Zhuhai Station, we've only performed the highly mastered Explosive Flame and Tianxiong Flame Wheel, and on Shenzhen Station, we've performed a brand new stunt, and it's a sword stunt!"

The Yantian Night Market Cultural Street is bustling with people, and the noisy sounds buzzing throughout the city.

The edge of night market street.

Mr. Fan and another old man quietly sat down in the tea restaurant.

This is a good location, where you can clearly see the broadcast screen and enjoy Xia An's night market stall performance without having to squeeze with the crazy crowd.

You can sit leisurely, drink tea and appreciate the atmosphere of life.

"This young man is good." The strange old man saw Xia An wielding the kitchen knife and couldn't help but blurt out in a plastic Hong Kong accent.

Mr. Fan took a deep breath:
"Old Yang, I've already told you that this young man is very scary! You just won't believe it!"

The old man surnamed Yang is a well-known and top chef in Hong Kong. He has been active in the culinary world for decades and has so many titles that it is frightening.

“But I still can’t believe that a young man can master the Zhou-style food carving technique to the great perfection level.”

Old Yang said slowly.

Mr. Fan glared and said, "Just wait, he will process 108 kinds of noodles, and he will have to show his extremely high level of Zhou's food carving skills!"

Old Yang choked up and no longer expressed any doubts, with an even more expectant look on his face.

……

And at the same time.

Shu land.

Wu Zhu, Xiang Shilin and Jing Nina gathered in the tea and coffee area in the hotel lobby to watch the live broadcast of Xia An's official Douyin account together.

Seeing Xia An's amazing ancient sword skills.

Wu Zhu and Xiang Shilin both gasped.

Xiang Shilin's scalp tingled, and he muttered, "What kind of monster did I start a food war with before? How could I dare?!"

Wu Zhu counted on his fingers:

"Is this the first of several unique skills that require a high level of proficiency?"

"Since the first time he used the Luohan Crystal Slash to recreate the Fierce Ice Fresh Tai Mountain, this man has been trying to single-handedly bring all the lost ancient recipes and ancient skills back to the modern gourmet world!"

Kyonina's eyebrows were also twitching.

Because on Saturday night, she will be on the stage of the third episode of "The Chrysanthemum Goes Down the Hall Competition" as a replacement contestant.

Therefore, Jing Nina did not go to the night market stalls at Zhuhai Station or Shenzhen Station to join in the fun, even though she wanted to go very much. But in Jing Nina's mind, the appearance in the third episode was a cooking showdown between her and Xia An, which was very important and she had to prepare well.

"'Heroes of China'!"

This is the theme of the cooking competition in the third episode.

On Monday, director Gao Shengqi added Jing Nina as a friend and informed her of the topic.

to be frank.

This theme reminded Jing Nina of the past confrontation between Liu Maoxing and Explosive Chef Asia.

"Ganges Fried Noodles" and "Unifying the Seven Kingdoms Fried Noodles" were born from this story.

"There are rumors on the Internet that Boss Xia is trying to recreate the ancient dish of Ganges fried noodles at the Shenzhen Night Market stall."

The sound of Wu Zhu and Xiang Shilin's whispered conversation fell into Jing Nina's ears, making her heart sink.

Ganges fried noodles!

Doesn’t this fit perfectly with the theme of the third episode?

If she served Ganges fried noodles with high completion, she would be at a high risk of failure...

Kyonina took a breath and thought silently:

"It seems that since this is my first appearance on stage, I can't hold back. I have to show all my cooking skills to resist him!"

……

Soon, all the ingredients were processed with Xia An's frantic knife skills.

Spinach, basil, and sweet potato.

Lobster, crab, turtle.

Countless processed ingredients piled up in stainless steel basins simply stunned all the diners.

"Sister, this is what Master said, the legendary supreme skill in the Shenzhou food world!"

Among the foreign family, the younger brother Pedro said with a red face.

The female internet celebrity Natalia finally recovered a little: "Pedro, if this video clip is released, it will definitely cause a big sensation on YouTube."

Natalia is a nine-star chef after all.

It is known that the famous chef Xia An’s amazing performance at the night market scene can also have an impact like a nuclear bomb bombing in the Western food world.

Shamila held the camera pole, not daring to miss even a single frame of the wonderful shot.

After hearing the conversation between the siblings, Samira said seriously:

"The Western world knows that China's food industry has a long history and profound heritage."

“But the mainstream voice in the Western world is negative about these lost secrets, ancient recipes.”

“I think these traditions are all made-up stories by the Chinese food industry. They are fictional and cannot possibly happen in reality!”

Natalia nodded.

She used to be one of those who held a negative attitude.

There is no way. In the information cocoon woven by foreign media for a long time, many foreigners are inevitably affected and form stereotypes.

But this time, thanks to the visa-free policy, Natalia and her family broke through the information cocoon and not only saw the highly developed and modern city, but also witnessed the humanistic atmosphere of the city in today's Shenzhen night market.

"Then let our videos tell people in the Western world that all of this is not just a legend, and that ancient stunts and recipes can be reproduced in reality!"

Natalia's tone was excited, and she was very sure that she had found the "traffic password" of YouTube.

She couldn't wait to see the reactions of YouTubers after this video was released.

Dumbfounded?

Think it’s an AI fake video?

Hehehe, the scene must be explosive anyway.

Sudden.

Tens of thousands of people in the Yantian Night Market Cultural Street made a loud noise in unison.

I saw it being broadcast on the big screen.

Xia An began to hold the pastry stick and knead the dough into pointed mountains.

The long stick was rotating in a circle in his hand.

In just two or three seconds, the broken dough turned into a "white snake" with smooth skin, tightly entangled the pastry stick.

"Roar--"

At this time, Xia An gently shook the alloy pastry stick. In the lights on the scene, he was reflected on the floor of the stall, with a long shadow of the stick, and the "white snake" attached to the long stick was roaring with its mouth open. As Xia An shook the stick, it broke away and coiled on the kitchen counter.

"Is this... Dancing with the White Dragon? The state of great perfection?"

Seats in the tea restaurant.

The famous Hong Kong star, Mr. Yang, stood up suddenly.

Old Fan said with a smile: "Did you see that? I didn't lie to you, it's the state of great success!"

Although he spoke tough, there was a hint of fear in Mr. Fan's eyes.

Mr. Yang smiled bitterly and said:

"But the ultimate skill you are talking about is Zhou's Food Carving Technique, not the White Snake Chain!"

After it was perfected, all the steps of mixing and kneading the dough from beginning to end with the Bai Luo Snake Chain can be completed with just one long stick. Xia An doesn't need to put the stick below and use both hands to press the dough into dough balls.

From the perspective of foreign tourists such as Samira and Natalia.

It is the white snake entwined on the stick.

Suddenly Xia An shook it off.

The body fell on the kitchen counter and curled up, naturally forming a piece of dough with a smooth and delicate texture.

Countless people’s cell phone cameras around took close-up shots.

The lump of dough on the kitchen counter is perfectly fitted and seamless, without any gaps.

The chef no longer needs to use his hands to operate the dough. The moment it lands on the kitchen counter, it is already in the most complete and perfect form. All you need to do is cover it with a wet cloth and let it rest!

"Amazing skills!"

"Fuck, can dough be made like this?"

"Oh my god, Boss Xia's White Snake Chain-Transforming Skill must have made a big breakthrough!"

After the surrounding crowd was immersed in it for a moment, there was an exploding wave of sound.

Natalia was shocked:
"What kind of ancient divine skill is this?!"

Pedro suppressed his highly excited emotions and said in a hoarse voice: "I know a little Chinese, and people around me are shouting something like 'White Snake Chain'!"

"Bai, Bai Luoshe Chuanlian?"

Natalia repeated it in a very unstandardized accent.

Samira looked at Pedro in surprise, nodded and said:

"It's the White Snake Chain."

"Mr. Xia An demonstrated this ancient skill a long time ago on the show 'Chrysanthemum Downstairs Competition'."

"And in today's night market, Mr. Xia An's skills seem to have reached a higher level than before..."

Chrysanthemum downstairs competition?

After listening to Samira's description in English, Natalia silently memorized the name of the program and planned to go back to check the video and watch the recording.

And around Cheyenne.

Liu Shimeng, Wen Chaoqing, Lu Zuguang and Tang Jinghan said they were a little tired of watching it.

"Ah, when did Boss Xia cultivate the 'White Snake Chain' to such a level?" Liu Shimeng was at a loss.

"I also want to ask you, when did Boss Xia master the 'Seven Star Breaking Army Swift Cutting Technique'?" Wen Chaoqing complained.

Next.

Xia An spent a moment and used his special skills to quickly blend all the ingredients into the flour, making different doughs, and then began to further process the noodles.

The foursome was even more confused and bewildered:? ?

🇧🇷
"Could this carving skill be..." The other three people looked at Wen Chaoqing at the same time.

"Zhou's Food Carving Technique?"

Wen Chaoqing stroked his chin, staring at Xia An's back as he held the broken saber and processed the noodles opposite him, his tone somewhat uncertain.

The three of them looked at each other.

"That's not right. Zhou's Food Carving Technique, can the cutting speed be so fast?"

"Ah, this broken imitation military knife turned into a carving knife in Boss Xia's hands? Why is it like this? It's obviously a very long kitchen blade, not suitable for carving..."

The great achievement of Zhou's Food Carving Technique, plus the minor achievement of the Seven-Star Breaking Army Swift Cutting Technique.

This makes Xia'an's processing efficiency incredibly fast.

In no time.

The first batch of noodles was processed.

"As usual, I will cook the first batch of dishes myself and then serve the diners myself."

Xia An said to the group of four who came forward and tried to lend a hand to help.

Lu Zuguang nodded and said, "Boss Xia, the stove and wok are ready for you. You can light the fire and cook at any time!"

"I'm going to the dining car to change into a new set of clothes."

After saying this, Xia An went straight to the dining car of the double-decker luxury bus.

The four people were left looking at each other in confusion.

"Change clothes?" Liu Shimeng asked in surprise, "Boss Xia didn't do anything similar at many night market stalls before."

She, who was closest to Xia An, didn't understand it. Wen Chaoqing, Lu Zuguang and Tang Jinghan, the three men, were even more unable to guess the deeper meaning of Xia An's move.

You know, when Xia An went out, he was already wearing a set of chef uniform provided by the Shenzhen Town Culture and Tourism Bureau. He didn't perform any stunts like Explosive Flame and Tianxiong Flame Wheel just now, so the chef uniform was not damaged at all, so why did he have to change clothes?

And in the dining car.

Meng Yulu seemed to be waiting for Xia An. When she saw him return to the dining car, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Are you sure you want to go out shirtless?" Meng Yulu obviously knew Xia An's plan, and her face looked a little strange.

"If I don't take off my clothes, I might catch fire."

Xia An said helplessly.

"You're on fire?" Meng Yulu was even more confused.

"You'll find out later."

Xia An changed into metal shorts in the corner of the bus, and then returned to the night market stall with an aura of "If I'm not embarrassed, you'll be embarrassed".

"Unlock, Explosive Steam Body!
That’s right, Xia An wanted to do his best to sprint for the glowing version of Ganges fried noodles in the first wave.

At this time, there is no need to hide your moves.

He has tested it and found that after the explosive steam body is unlocked, it will give him a weakened version of "fire sense".

At the same time, the skill of fire control will be enhanced invisibly.

Huh?
Countless spectators at the night market watched Xia An walk back to his stall step by step, his bare upper body suddenly climbing up the red lava lines.

An indescribable aura and pressure spread naturally.

The noise at the scene suddenly disappeared.

Even Liu Shimeng, Wen Chaoqing and four others opened their mouths wide. Pressured by the invisible high-temperature air waves, they subconsciously stepped back a long way.

"What is this flame tattoo?"

Sitting in the tea restaurant, Mr. Fan and Mr. Yang stared at the broadcast screen in astonishment.

Immediately, the two looked at each other.

Eyes twinkling.

"Why did I suddenly think of the legendary physique of the former explosive chef Yakan..." Mr. Fan said in surprise.

"It is said that the Explosive Chef Yakan possesses a physique called 'Explosive Steam Body', which seems to be closely related to his 'super touch' talent!" Old Yang's eyes widened.

Xia An held the metal handle of the wok.

"Sigh--"

High-temperature flames burst out from his palm, and Xia An nodded secretly:

“Let’s start cooking!”
