Chapter 128

"Dou Xin Pu" is called "competition" in northern dialect, and it is a means of competition between cooks to compete for basic skills.

This kind of competition is a competition of a certain professional skill in the "knife, fire, and kung fu" in the kitchen, and there will be no stir-fried dishes, and there will be no misjudgments and subjective mistakes.

This kind of competition is fair and fair, simple and easy to understand, and it is the real battlefield for the "Kung Fu" competition between cooks.

In order to compete for the Imperial Kitchen Knife, Lei Ren wanted to "fight with heart" with me, and he named me to fight "Sword and Fire One Heart".

Although I am surprised by Lei Ren's request, I understand it very well.

Seeing that Lei Ren couldn't beat me both emotionally and financially, he had no choice but to come up with such a trick.His purpose is nothing else, but to use the rules and skills of the Wu Zang Temple to suppress me.He wants to use his skills as the abbot of Wuling Temple to surpass me.

For the kitchen knife, he is really desperate!

But since he dared to propose the fight of "sword and fire with one heart", naturally his attainments in this area are not weak. Since he is not weak, I should not accept the move and say what he wants.

It's a pity that he really miscalculated this time. Not only did he miscalculate, but he also hit my "gun muzzle".

Because I asked myself, this "sword and fire with one heart" is also my personal strength.Moreover, the chefs of Confucius Temple have a unique advantage in this respect...

Facing Lei Ren's "drawing the road", half of the people present didn't know what a "sword and fire single-mindedness" was, so they were also at a loss when they heard it.

Among the crowd, only Zhao Shuihe was extremely excited. When she heard that I was going to "fight" again, she said happily at that time: "There is a good show to watch!"

While talking, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Xian Hongye, who is also a woman, and said: "Sister Hongye, let's sit down and drink tea, 'Sword and Fire One Heart' is very beautiful. After a while, you will know whether it is my 'grand master' or my 'outsider'." Master and grandson are amazing."

After hearing Zhao Shuihe's words, I was completely speechless.

How much this girl loves to take advantage!Such a chaotic seniority can also be told, how often? !

Of course, with the enemy at hand, I don't have time to worry about these things, and I will need her and everyone here to be witnesses later.It's not easy to pay back at this time.

Therefore, I replied to Lei Ren: "You are bigger than me, how can this 'knife and fire' compare, you draw the 'road'!"

The corners of Lei Ren's mouth twitched, his eyes gleamed fiercely, but he said with a smile: "That's easy to say, I'll tell you the method of the sword and fire competition first, so that no one will understand."

I nodded.

Afterwards, Lei Ren told everyone: The so-called sword and fire is a method of "combat heart" by cooks, and the main test is "fire" skill.At the same time taking into account the knife skills.

The reason why it is called "sword and fire in one heart" is that it is necessary to use the knife and the fire.

This test is very simple to say, that is, to distribute an identical kitchen knife to each of the chefs in the competition, and put a piece of lard of the same weight in the center of the kitchen knife.Then let the cook see the location and size of the lard.

Afterwards, the "witness" will light a candle for each of the chefs in the competition, and ask them to put the kitchen knife with lard on the candle and grill it.

Put the lard on the knife, and when the knife meets the fire, the lard will gradually spread out. Whoever spreads the most is the winner.

After listening to Lei Ren's words, Zhao Hong interjected impatiently, "What's the comparison? Put the knife on the fire and roast it! In the end, it's full of knives."

Zhao Shuihe interjected: "That won't work. The area of ​​lard can be as large as possible, but it can't exceed the area of ​​the knife. If it flows out of the knife body, it will be considered a loss."

I nodded in agreement, and at the same time continued to add, "Besides, after the real competition begins, the cook's eyes will be covered with a cloth, which means that he can't see the size of the oil surface and the candle flame at all, and can only rely on the smell of lard." and the sound to judge the area and degree of lard melting."

After hearing this, Xian Hongye suddenly realized: "This is really a difficult challenge. If the time is short, the melting area of ​​the lard will be small, and if the time is long, the lard may flow out of the knife."

I smiled, noncommittal.

Can it be difficult?If it's not difficult, Lei Ren will compare this with me?If it's not difficult, I would practice deliberately before?
And I fully understand in my heart that this set of "knife and fire with one heart" is actually the basic skill of a cook in Wuzang Temple. It looks abnormal, can't see, and can't move, but in fact it is completely a basic requirement for a cook.

After all, no one is staring at the flames when cooking. Most people judge the degree of rawness of the oil based on the taste and hearing!

It's just that our Confucius Temple has done something even better.

The reason why the Confucius Temple has done better is because our control of fire is far more "smart" than the other three temples.

Among the "Four Great Temples", the fire kung fu skill of Confucius Temple in Shandong Province is recognized as "the best in the world", and even has the reputation of "food in China, fire in Shandong".From this, it is enough to see that our Confucius Temple's fire kungfu is unique and recognized as a strong point.

The biggest difference between the fire work of Confucius Temple and the other three temples is the method of "division".

Ordinary "fire skills" are nothing more than functional cooking fires that focus on slow fire, strong fire, roasting fire, and smoking.Only the cooks of the Confucius Temple raised fire to the level of philosophy, believing that food is an extension of Confucian etiquette, and fire is the "soul" of food.

Therefore, according to the etiquette norms of Confucianism, the Confucius Temple directly divides fire into three basic types: "monarch fire", "subject fire" and "people fire".

And this is the so-called "Samadhi True Fire".

Among these three kinds of fires, Junhuo is called "Bang", Chenhuo is called "Wen", and Minhuo is called "Simmer". The three kinds of fires complement each other, and they are divided into 72 kinds of "disciple fires". Fire skills and delicious cooking.

Deduce flame with philosophy, cook soul with flame, this is the core of Lu Cuisine!This is the so-called "ritual"!
Therefore, the biggest feature of Lu cuisine in production is the unique use of fire and accurate firepower. A standard Lu cuisine cook, to put it bluntly, can control the fire as precisely as a rocket goes to the sky.Without looking at the watch, if you say stir-fry for 15 seconds, it will never be a little bit more, and if you say stew for an hour, he will never exceed half a second and a quarter.

What Lu cuisine needs is this precision and skill.

Therefore, in terms of fire skills, I consider myself to be doing my part.

If I lose to Lei Ren from Wuling Temple in the "Sword and Fire One Heart" which is the most powerful performance of fire skills, then I can buy a piece of tofu and hit the wall.

Because of this, I agreed to Lei Ren's request without hesitation.Not only to compare, but also to compare in the most classic and original way!What I want is the end of this unyielding end!

Three times, five divisions and two divisions, Lei Ren and I "pointed to the wheat awn", it was considered a complete match.

At that moment, the two wrote the evidence like a duel, pressed their fingerprints, Lei Ren had a sinister smile on his face, but I couldn't bear it.

The haze of a great battle has already rolled in.
