The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 75 Chili, chili, and chili! (First update)
Xia An is kneading dough.

It’s not that I learned the “White Snake Chain”.

Since he has not met conditions ① and ②, he will see how many rewards this food battle can give out and then meet the requirements.

Ding!
As he beat the dough again and again.

The panel finally showed the dynamic news about this food battle:
[The chef panel has temporarily switched to food battle mode. 】

[Goal has been triggered: Combine ancient dishes with fantasy ingredients, the dish rating is no less than 9 stars, and the utilization rate/fusion degree of fantasy ingredients reaches 60%]

[Complete the goal to get 2 attribute points]

2 attribute points!!
It will also mean that as long as he wins this food battle, he can instantly spend money to increase his points and meet the two learning conditions of the "White Snake Chain".

"Fortunately, the utilization/integration rate is only 60%."

Xia An said secretly, feeling slightly relieved.

These days, no matter how hard he worked on the details, the utilization rate/fusion degree of his fantasy ingredients remained at around 60% and could not go up at all.

He could only conclude that perhaps this was the upper limit of nine-star cooking skills.

Without a breakthrough to the special grade, the development and utilization of gold-grade fantasy ingredients has basically come to an end.

"Then—"

"Come again——"

From the perspective of Xiang Shilin and the audience.

Xia An paused for a moment, then continued the seemingly endless wrestling action.

boom!
boom!
The dough hit the smooth kitchen counter and deformed slightly. Xia An pressed, rubbed, and kneaded it with his hands at the right time, and then flipped it into the air. The dough suddenly became big and round and flew into the air.

It's not a show of skill or anything. The pastry making technique of Dacheng has allowed Xia An to grasp the essence more and more during the past two days of research and development. In order to make a dough with extremely strong tension, it is necessary to beat the dough repeatedly in this way, squeezing out all the possibilities and forming the maximum amount of gluten.

So, Xia An and the style of the kitchen where he was.

It's that simple and clear at a glance.

Keep kneading the dough!

"Sigh--"

The on-site director deliberately let the radio equipment on Xiang Shilin's kitchen counter pick up the sound of frying after he turned on the stove, and then broadcast it to the entire venue through the diffusion speakers.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned over.

On the lens screen.

Xiang Shilin poured oil into the authentic Chinese large iron pot. The fire roared, and after a while, he completed the steps of lubricating and roasting the pot.

A raging smoke filled the air, submerging half of Xiang Shilin's body.

Then, Xiang Shilin picked up the whole basin of diced rabbit meat and poured it all into the sizzling oil pan!
shhh-

The spatula flew, and the diced rabbit meat visibly lost its raw meat color and turned into a white and firm texture.

At the same time, it has the rich flavor of a golden fantasy ingredient.

Finally venting at this moment!
"Boom!"

The exploding flavor is like an earthquake and a volcanic eruption.

An alluring fragrance that made everyone in the audience keep lifting their noses to inhale, as if it was going to take everyone to the vast wilderness that gave birth to and multiplied countless imaginary lives.

Even Wu Zhu, Alice, Erina, Midori and Lan Xiaoxi in the lounge on the second floor.

Everyone could smell the aroma, as if the glass couldn't block it out.

"What a strong meaty flavor!" said Nakiri Erina solemnly, "Just judging by the flavor, this cheese rabbit is not inferior to Master's crab pig!"

Miyoko was surprised by Xiang Shilin's cooking skills:
"He is so skilled in Chinese cooking techniques..."

Similar words.

It was also discussed by everyone in the guest seats and judges seats.

"Xiang Shilin, you're good enough," Saiba Chengyilang said in amazement, "He grew up in North America, but he has mastered Chinese cooking skills to such an extent?"

In the eyes of "Xura", it is not just about using an authentic Chinese large iron pan to stir-fry diced rabbit meat.

The technique of moving the pot spoon, the details of flipping the pot with one hand, and the control of the high-fire stove and high temperature.

Everything shows his Chinese culinary core.

Wei Xuelin said: "Although they are the remnants of the Tai Chi cuisine world, this group of people are also particularly proud and have always regarded themselves as the authentic Chinese cuisine."

The words trailed off.

"boom!"

Xiang Shilin's Chinese big iron pot bursts out another deeper flavor.

Add chopped ginger and garlic one by one.

He took out another can of chili sauce, scooped out two large spoonfuls, poured it into the boiling oil pan, and quickly stir-fried it to produce a scary red oil.

"Is this pickled chili pepper?" The part-time host Chi Xiaobai, who had been invisible and silent, finally made his presence felt. He stood next to Xiang Shilin's open kitchen and interviewed the chef on the spot.

“It’s pickled chili peppers.”

Xiang Shilin didn't even raise his head, with traces of sweat on his forehead. He stared intently at the diced rabbit meat that was boiling in the big iron pot and gradually becoming stained with red oil.

Chi Xiaobai coughed and explained:

"Haijiao is hot pepper. People in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan usually call it Haijiao, so this is a bottle of pickled pepper sauce."

"However, unlike pickled pepper sauces from other regions, the Sichuan-style pickled pepper sauce has some green peppercorns added during the fermentation process, so the overall flavor can be described as spicy and fresh!"

at the same time.

Xiang Shilin was not disturbed.

Take a deep breath, crush the chili peppers and put them into the big pot.

Boo!
The amazing spicy aroma and the rich flavor of rabbit meat interweave to create a decadent appetite-inducing forbidden song.

"not enough……"

The radio on the kitchen counter picked up Xiang Shilin's mumblings at this time.

Immediately, in the focus exposure of multiple cameras.

Xiang Shilin continues to add spiciness!
This time, it is not chopped chili peppers, but large pieces of red peppers.

Then cut the young ginger into strips.

After flipping the pan and stir-frying for a few times.

There was a hint of madness on Xiang Shilin's face.

"not enough!"

"Chili... again!"

"'Erjingtiao' chili peppers, more, lots of them!"

Different from the bright red chili pepper.

The Erjingtiao pepper, a specialty of Sichuan, is green in color.

Then two kinds of peppers appeared in the pot, green and red.

At last.

Sprinkle in the remaining shredded ginger.

Xiang Shilin, with a crazy look on his face, scooped some seasonings with the spoon, then lifted the heavy Chinese iron wok with one hand and started the final stir-frying.

"Wow—"

"Wow—"

The venue was silent.

The broadcast screen only showed close-ups of the soaring and falling piles of green and red peppers and diced rabbit meat.

"beer!"

"Vinegar by the pot!"

“Take it out of the pan and put it on a plate!”

Turning around, he brought over an oversized white ceramic plate. Xiang Shilin flipped the pan over with one hand, and a whole plate of delicious fantasy rabbit meat dish appeared in front of everyone.

Xiang Shilin did not look at where his opponent was going.

There is no point anymore.

Since he had already finished, there was absolutely no reason for him to deliberately pause before serving the dish.

The first one to go will lose.

does not exist.

"This is my food wars dish - 'Shuchuan Spicy Ginger Rabbit'!"

The camera followed and the spotlight was on Xiang Shilin all the way.

It was not until Xiang Shilin placed the large white dinner plate on the judging table with a bang that the audience seemed to have escaped from the decadent flavor taboo.

Even Nakiri Managi, who was sitting in the main judge's seat, had her pupils slightly focused and she came back to her senses from her vague daze.

She took a closer look at the steaming ginger rabbit dish on the judging table, was silent for a moment, and then said with undisguised approval:

"With nine-star cooking skills, not reaching the special grade, he was able to turn a gold-grade fantasy ingredient into a fusion dish with such a high degree of completion."

"In our Europa International Gourmet Association, there are only a few nine-star chefs who can do what you do!"

　I went out to do some work this morning, so this update is late. I'll finish writing this story today! Keep writing!
