Chapter 95 The Last Vote

After watching Chef Song show off his skills, everyone in the audience was speechless when they looked at Sister Mu.

Nianfu held a pair of scissors and couldn't get rid of the prawns swimming in the clear water. It took her a long time to pick one up, but it was too slippery to hold. The prawns bounced out of her hands.

, by chance, he flicked his tail on her face, then jumped back into the basin and swam away proudly in a straight line.

Everyone burst into laughter, and even Ouyang Kang couldn't bear it anymore, so he stepped forward to help, but she asked guiltily, "Is there any ice?"

Although Song Siyuan was calm, he also frowned a little. Can this girl know how to cook?

"Give it to her!" Wu Hua saw that Nian Fu couldn't do anything, but he immediately asked the waiter to get it. Just like this, it was still one thing whether she could cook the shrimp. It was a pity that he was so worried before.

It’s all unnecessary!

Soon two large ice bricks were delivered in the cold weather. I picked a shrimp while reciting blessings, recited Amitabha silently, and placed twenty shrimps on the ice bricks.

Song Siyuan thought to himself, what is this for? But it was difficult for him to ask. Fortunately, Ouyang Mulan couldn't help but ask for him, "What is this for?"

"Reduce their activity." The Mu family does not kill animals!

After chopping up the ginger and preparing the ingredients, Song Siyuan stopped, because his opponent was still squatting on the spot, staring at the shrimps. At this speed, what would he do if he didn't wait? Then he would

A plate of food is ready and left to cool, but is there anyone left to eat?

"Are you okay?" Ouyang Mulan asked.

"We have to wait a while." Nianfu also knew that her performance was very poor. There must be a lot of people laughing down there, but what can she do? These shrimps are too lively and she can't do it.

At any rate, when the shrimp is almost frozen to death, Nianfu can start. He picks up the shrimp gun and trims off the stinging shrimp tentacles one by one, as well as the explosive eyes, and then squeezes out the black shrimp from the head and neck.

At the same time, pay attention to retain the shrimp roe, and pull out the shrimp intestines. If the shrimp intestines are not pulled out completely, Ouyang Mulan will have to ask for a toothpick.

Insert it from the second segment on the back of the shrimp, squeeze it gently and pick it up, and the sand sac connected to the black intestine will be picked out.

"I really picked it out!" Miss Ouyang broke out from the long silence and excitedly picked up the catgut and showed it to everyone, "Look! She really knows how to pick out sandbags!"

Is it too early to be happy? Wu Hua said with a cold face, "Just because you can pick sandbags doesn't mean you can do it. It's not like picking sandbags in a competition."

"Shopkeeper, what you said is wrong." Ouyang Kang stood up unhappily, "This proves that you can pick out the sandbags before making shrimps. Why don't you pick them out?"

"But it's okay to eat this sandbag, why do you have to pick it?" An old diner at Hongxinglou couldn't help but help.

Nianfu looked up blankly, "Fish can be eaten even if its belly is not cut open. Do you want to eat it?"

Uh... I can't think of this. I feel like vomiting when I think of it.

"Yes, these shrimps without gizzards are equivalent to fish without guts! If you don't eat them to death, they will kill you!" Miss Ouyang added something superfluous, which made many people look at the shrimps in front of her.

Some food can't be swallowed.

Even the guys around Song Siyuan glanced at the shrimps uncertainly. Do they want to pick sandbags today? If they pick, it will prove that what they did before is wrong. If they don't pick, it will have a psychological shadow! Moreover, who of them

I don’t even know that girl’s technique, and I don’t know if there’s anything special about it.

The eldest disciple said angrily, "When our Hongxinglou grilled prawns are served, can you taste the slightest fishy smell? Just do your duty."

Yes! All the guys agreed in unison, with great momentum.

But Song Siyuan frowned slightly. He was not a stickler for rules. Of course he knew that the shrimps would taste better if they removed the gizzards, but he gave up because it was too troublesome. What did the girl do?

Nianfu glanced at them and said nothing. She lowered her head and continued to pick out the sandbags. After picking out twenty shrimp threads, she asked again, "Master Song, we are making grilled prawns today, right?"

Song Siyuan was a little strange. What did she mean by asking? He nodded.

After receiving the confirmation, Nian Fu seemed to be relieved. He cut the back of the shrimp with scissors, then cut open the flesh of the shrimp, spread them out one by one, patted them loose with the back of the knife, and ordered some bamboo skewers to insert into the belly of the shrimp.

.

Some people couldn't understand and still laughed, "Do you know how to cook? I've never seen anyone cooking with bamboo sticks."

But Song Siyuan's expression became a little solemn, and while he was still watching, the girl raised her head and told him seriously, "Master Song, you have to hurry up. I can do this quickly."

Song Siyuan suddenly felt that his self-confidence was not that strong anymore.

Put the snow-white and clear lard into the hot pot. When it is 50% to 60% hot, add the minced ginger and sauté until fragrant. Then add the prawns and stir-fry over high heat until it is bright red and slightly brown. Add the secret sauce and stock.

Simmer for four to five minutes, then use high heat to reduce the juice. When the pan is about to start, sprinkle in chopped green onion. This is Hongxinglou's signature grilled prawns.

An old gourmet doesn't need to taste it, he just smells the aroma and praises it, "Authentic! I've been eating this flavor for decades, and there's no way I can go wrong with it."

Is it really right?

While Song Siyuan was cooking, he was also distractedly watching the girl's movements.

After she cut the prawns open, she only added a few simple ingredients such as salt, cooking wine, light soy sauce, sugar, and minced ginger to marinate them. Then she cut a large amount of minced garlic, added some vegetable oil, mixed it, and then carefully spread it out.

On the back of the marinated shrimps, place them one by one on the long and narrow iron box prepared in advance.

A layer of red-hot charcoal has been laid in the iron box, and twenty shrimps are evenly arranged in a row. Before others realized it, Song Siyuan suddenly realized something very important! He suddenly opened his eyes wide.

, actually began to hope that the girl would make mistakes in her actions.

But what disappointed him was that as the shrimps were arranged neatly, the girl just casually poured wine on the shrimps, and the red charcoal fire immediately burst into high flames, covering all the shrimps.

The diners below opened their mouths in amazement, but no one could speak.

All the ridicule has been put away, and all eyes are staring at the half-foot-high fire, which has been burning evenly. It seems to be just an ordinary thing.

Suddenly, someone let out a light sigh. It was Ouyang Mulan who was closest, because she had smelled a very special aroma. She couldn't describe it, but she only felt it was very fragrant and very tempting.

Immediately afterwards, the fragrance overflowed, and all the open mouths closed unconsciously, because if they didn't close, they would drool!

Young Master Ouyang raised his eyebrows proudly. He dusted off the non-existent dust on his clothes and looked at Nianfu again. His eyes seemed to be looking at him with pride.

But Nianfu stared closely at the fire, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

From an outsider's perspective, this girl's face is calm, just like the legendary master's focus and calmness when facing challenges. She can only cry in her heart while reciting blessings. It's really hard to cheat in front of the public!

How could there be high-quality liquor like Erguotou in this era? She was just using the cover of the wine to control the fire to grill shrimps with her mind, okay? But strangely, she suddenly found that the fire she could control was no longer the same as before.

Instead of being a whole ball, the twenty shrimps were divided into twenty portions, allowing for more precise control of the heat.

Could it be that the Blessing of the Vulcan will also evolve? But such an evolution is very hard for the operator, because your mind must be fully focused, and the physical exertion of seemingly doing nothing is extremely astonishing.

Finally, when the aroma reached its strongest point, Nianfu felt as if his whole body had been overdrawn and hollowed out, and he could no longer hold on.

Withdraw the fire!

The red flame wrapping the twenty shrimps quickly receded, revealing twenty golden, ruddy, and shiny prawns on the grill.

Song Siyuan didn't speak, just stood there. But his back slightly showed a sign of exhaustion.

"Okay." The girl raised her hand and sprinkled a handful of emerald green chopped green onions at will. The remaining temperature after high heat was used to stimulate the fragrance of the green onions, which was not only beautiful, but also made people's index fingers spread.

Is this good? Nianfu thought it took a long time, but in fact everyone saw that her operation was extremely fast, and some people were not satisfied with it. Why did it end?

The eldest disciple saw that the master's usually broad and steady shoulders moved unnaturally, and then he spoke in a low voice, "I'll invite twenty diners to come up and comment."

"No, it's nineteen." Ouyang Kang came forward unceremoniously, "It's hard to say if it's a tie. Is there anyone below who would like to come up?"

The crowd below seemed to have been suddenly awakened. They all looked at the special grilled shrimp and raised their hands one after another.

"Me! Me, me, me!" Many people can't wait to go on stage, eager to taste what the fragrant grilled shrimp tastes like.

Young Master Ouyang came up with an idea, "Please be patient, everyone. To be fair, why don't we let both of us choose guests at will? Anyway, we don't know anyone in the capital, and we are not afraid of being accused of cheating."

This kid, despite his looks, is really bad! Wu Hua secretly clenched his fists. What he said meant that they could not choose to be friends with regular customers.

But what happened to him? Is he afraid of losing? Wu Hua was suddenly startled, and he broke out in a cold sweat. Looking at the plate of shrimps again, his eyes began to hesitate.

In fact, Nian Fu was equally worried. She had even forgotten to taste it. How did the shrimp taste?

At this time, the first diner that Ouyang Kang randomly selected has already appeared on the stage. This is also a regular customer of Hongxing Tower and a famous gourmet in the city.

She walked up to the stage excitedly and took a bite of the shrimp made by Nianfu. She immediately stood by her with eyes shining, "It's delicious! There's no fishy smell at all, it's charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It's really delicious!"

The heart that was in my throat suddenly felt at ease as I recited the blessing.

Wu Hua hurriedly asked, "Please try ours too?"

But the man waved his hand and said, "I've been eating your shrimp for so many years, but I still don't know what it tastes like? There's no need to try it."

Wu Hua's face turned dark and he gritted his teeth. He ignored the ridicule and pointed at the diner who was close to their shop and praised Song Siyuan just after he smelled the fragrance.

The man was kind. After he came on stage, he first tasted the shrimp made by Song Siyuan, and then said politely, "This one has the authentic taste of Hongxinglou grilled shrimp. The others are still slightly inferior."

The eldest disciple behind him lowered his head in shame. The man came to Nianfu again and tried a bunch of her grilled shrimps. After a long time, he sighed, "This one is considered top-notch, but I'm used to Hongxinglou."

For the taste, I still have to vote for him.”

This obvious favor made Wu Hua's face stiffen, and Song Siyuan's hands behind his back trembled.

Next, the eight people pointed by Ouyang Kang all voted for them, and the eight people pointed by Wu Hua also sided with them.

Ouyang Mulan was dissatisfied. It was clear that Wu Hua ordered all the related households. This was obviously playing the favor card and was unfair!

However, Nianfu pulled her back and said, "There is still one last vote." She thought for a moment and raised her hand, "For this last vote, why not just go to him." (To be continued. If you like
