Food: I, Liu Maoxing, can’t be low-key at all - Chapter 77
The next morning at five o’clock, Liu Maoxing got up.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he put his hands in his trouser pockets and whistled as he walked into the kitchen.
“Damn it… This guy is too relaxed!! I really want to hit him!”The drowsy students were now full of energy.
“If you want to rest, take a good rest. If you doze off next to a stove with fire and knives, you may accidentally get killed. But it’s good that you woke up.”Liu Maoxing stopped whistling, waved to everyone and said
“Is Liu Maoxingjun trying to wake us up? We seem to have wrongly blamed him. What he said makes sense. The students discussed.
“What to do?”Liu Maoxing scratched his chin and muttered.
The whole audience was stunned.
Boss, haven’t you thought about what to do?
Then what were you pretending to be yesterday? You are only now thinking about it. You don’t want to save face like this!!
“Six dishes, which one should I cook? Well, forget it, let’s see what happens.”Liu Maoxing picked up a radish, took out a knife, and swung it, and a small dice appeared in his hand.
“Liudao… hehe… I am really an ordinary person……”Several students were shocked
“Let fate take its course.”Liu Maoxing threw the dice onto the countertop. Three points
“Three o’clock. Is this fate? Improved version of whole egg siu mai, it’s decided for you.”Liu Maoxing picked up the egg on the cooking table and smiled slightly.
The sky gradually brightened, and the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone in through the window, soft and warm, gradually warming up, just like a mother’s embrace.
“Oh no! The sky is gradually getting brighter… Ugh… There is no way to sleep… It’s too late!!!” Some students were so upset.
“Ding Dong!!”
The radio sounded
“Good morning, students. Please prepare for the examination. 437” Dojima Gin’s full-throated voice came from the loudspeaker.
At six o’clock in the morning, students took their number plates and entered the venue one by one.
Liu Maoxing walked into the venue and looked at the number plate in his hand. It was A field, platform 01.
“”Huh? I’m the first one to come in. It seems like I’m lucky. Hmm! Good times!” Liu Maoxing said as he ate a bag of steamed dumplings while holding his number plate in one hand and a bag of steamed dumplings in the other.
“Liu Maoxing. Someone called Liu Maoxing.
Liu Maoxing looked over and saw that it was Takumi, who was only one or two stalls away from him.
“Hi. Takumi, keep going.”Liu Maoxing waved his hand.
“Liu Maoxing!! I will beat you in this subject!!” Takumi shouted
“Yeah.” Liu Maoxing nodded and looked around again.
“Eh? Xiaohui is swallowing her words again, she is still a little timid. Yukihira is here too. Eh? How come you are grouped with Erina? Fate, it is wonderful.”Liu Maoxing made a small expression.
Everyone started to tinker with their own dishes. It is still important to serve the dishes as soon as possible.
Six o’clock sharp.
“First of all, let me introduce the examiners!!”As Dojima Gin walked up to the podium, the door opened.
People poured in, men, women, young and old, and the three old men in the lead were the most eye-catching.
“There are so many people!! Who are these people?”
“These are the material suppliers who cooperate with Totsuki Resort and their families! They come to serve as the reviewers of this training every year. I also told them in advance that this time there will be a surprise egg dish. Their review is always very strict.”
“Hahahaha…Thanks to you, be prepared! We can’t be attracted by failed dishes!!” said the bald old man standing next to Liu Maoxing’s stall.
The other two old men also nodded.
“It’s so… so stylish!!” Liu Maoxing’s classmates were frightened.
“These uncles… I can do it!” Yukihira touched his chin and muttered
“Our Totsuki Resort will also send colleagues from the cooking and service departments to participate in the review.”
Another group of people came in, from the service and cooking classes of Totsuki Resort.
The two people in the lead were gentle and elegant, full of gentlemanly aura.
“”Amazing!” Xiaohui exclaimed
“Finally, the graduates will also participate in the review.”After Dojima Gin finished speaking, Hinatako and the others appeared, including Shinomiya
“Chef Shigong also showed up!! Will he be eliminated again today?”The students were frightened by Shigong.
“However, the graduates will not judge, but only give a personal evaluation, which will be written on your resume and follow you throughout your life. There are two eligibility criteria for this project… The first is to be recognized by suppliers and front-line experts! The creativity of your dishes must be recognized by them! The other is… to collect hundreds of copies within two hours from now! Those who meet the above two conditions are qualified.”
“Two hundred copies? After almost staying up all night? Too…too demanding!!”said the students
“I see… The diners are diverse, including men, women, young and old, of all ages… It’s like recreating the scene of breakfast at a hotel! This is a… subject that is very similar to actual combat!!!” Takumi was sweating a little.
“Well, everyone… please enjoy your breakfast!! The review begins!!”Dojima Gin said
“Please try it! It’s delicious!” The students started to shout.
“Liu Maoxing classmate!! Give me one!”Hinatako rushed to Liu Maoxing’s stall without hesitation.
Shigong and others followed behind.
“It seems that I am still very popular. Then, let’s get started.”Liu Maoxing opened the steamer in front of him, and a series of golden and white lights floated out with the white steam, like a dream.
Liu Maoxing opened the steamer, and a series of bright lights floated out with the steam.
“Have you installed a light bulb here?” Hinata craned her neck to look at
“No. Reflection.”Liu Maoxing fanned the steam with his hand, took a small plate, picked up two siomai with chopsticks, and handed them to Hinata, after all, he was the first customer.
The skin of the siomai was like warm jade, shining with a bright glow, with golden-red cloud patterns embedded on the skin, jade inlaid with gold, luxurious and beautiful. The filling of the siomai was vaguely covered by a layer of golden scrambled eggs. The slightly rising steam made the siomai look like a beauty with a veil brushing her face, which was unclear and irresistible.
Several graduates moved their noses and swallowed their saliva:”It smells so good!!”
“What is the name of this dish? It is so beautifully made!!” Hinata asked
“Hmm… let me think about it.”
Liu Maoxing scratched his temple:”Whole egg siu mai. Cloud pattern… glow… cloud pattern jade siu mai!! This is a legendary palace pastry. Back then, Emperor Qianlong was hungry in the morning and wanted to eat something innovative for breakfast, so my Liu family ancestor invented this siu mai for him!!” (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
“Oh! So that’s how it is.” Hinata believed it.
The other graduates also nodded in confusion.
“It’s obvious that his name was just made up!! You guys believe it!” Takumi complained at his stall
“Let’s have a try. I’m also very tired from writing lyrics!”Liu Maoxing picked up two for each of the graduates.
“Hmm. There are new dishes. Liu Maoxing, please give us one too.”Dojima Gin and Chapel are also here.
“”Okay! Take it!” Liu Maoxing directly filled two plates and handed them to them.
“”Stop watching. Eat now.” Teacher Roland Chapelle said to the students who were looking at him but didn’t dare to pick up their chopsticks.
“Oh!” Hinata couldn’t wait any longer, and she opened her mouth and ate half a siomai.
“Hmm? Hmm!” Hinatako chewed with a cat-like expression on her face:”Delicious!!! This is the perfect fusion of the flavors of eggs and meat!”
“Judging from Hinata’s expression, it’s pretty good.”
Dojima Gin smiled, picked up the siomai, looked at it, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully:”Hmm! Excellent. The technique is first-class, this level of siomai is indeed top-notch. The skin of the siomai is kneaded with eggs. Right?”
“Yeah.” Liu Maoxing nodded.
“The egg white of duck eggs is used to make the pork filling firm. The golden red cloud pattern on the skin should be made of duck egg yolk, which is why the unique golden red color of duck eggs appears.”
“Yeah.” Liu Maoxing nodded.
“Then, the filling inside is indeed pork filling, but… it seems to be mixed with something else. The particles are very small and the taste is a bit strange. It should be a specially processed ingredient.”Dojima Gin frowned.
“It looks like fish roe. Fresh river fish roe is stir-fried with dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, pepper, Sichuan pepper, star anise and other seasonings to remove the fishy smell and mixed into the pork filling. The stuffing should be wrapped with the original caviar.
However, generally speaking, caviar is served cold. It is rare to see yours heated until fully cooked. Good idea.”Sigong picked up the remaining half of the siu mai on the plate, looked at it, smelled it and said
“This is not high-grade caviar. I would not be willing to do this if it was high-grade. Senior Sigong.”Liu Maoxing said
“Yeah. Fish roe is also an egg, which is quite creative. In terms of creativity, I give him 90 points.”Teacher Roland Chapelle said
“In addition, there should be more… However, it is a bit too hidden, and I can’t taste it at the moment. Two more.”Hinatako handed the plate to Liu Maoxing and said
“I didn’t add anything else. Senior Hinata, you probably just want two more, right?” Liu Maoxing said.
“Uh… is that so? Ah… then two more.” Hinata seemed to be the one who had just cheated on her.
“Quality.” Teacher Chapel said with a straight face.
“Senior Hinata, I have added more. After all, they are all guests. How can I not serve the dishes when the guests order them?”Liu Maoxing smiled and added two more siomai for Hinata.
Hinata stuck out her tongue, hid from Teacher Chapel, and happily took the plate and went to the side to eat.
