Zhang Yitian naturally did not know how Guan Yan did it, but when he heard her words, he immediately understood in his heart. It seemed that the video he had found was rather old.
"What era is it? Is there even a need to marinate the steamed fish?" "You think you can win against me just because of this?" Guan Yan laughed mockingly, "The technique of steaming the fish after being pickled has long been obsolete. Not only does this thing harm the quality of the fish, it also makes the fish lose its luster and luster! "Tsk, just this antique …"
Zhang Yitian heard these words and then sneered. He did not say anything, because according to his knowledge, this Fishes had a hundred years of history. If the previous cooking techniques were so harmful, then this dish would have been eliminated long ago.
There must be a reason why some things could still exist today. If there was a problem with the Fishes's cooking methods, then the dishes would have changed long ago.
In this world, only those who failed to achieve their goals would turn around and find another way out. This was not necessarily true, but if they belittled those things because of this, it would be a bit too much for the masses.
Zhang Yitian firmly believed that there must be a reason behind the inheritance. Furthermore, he wouldn't give up his idea just because of a few words from Guan Yan.
His movements were still methodical, and were not the slightest bit disturbed by Guan Yan.
Guan Yan laughed as he looked at Zhang Yitian. He did not believe that a person who had never studied cooking before would be able to produce such a good knife skill.
His blade technique was something that he had trained for ten years, what about Zhang Yitian? No matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem like a master. Even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't believe that he could create any miracles.
The quality of the coriander was not bad, it was specially picked out by Zhang Yitian from the display tables of the farm fruits and vegetables. No matter how the two sides argued, Zhang Yitian still trusted the products of the field fruits and vegetables more.
No matter what the Tian Family members did, the quality of their products was quite good. Otherwise, they wouldn't have achieved the position of Big Brother Lin Xi.
The cilantro was long and leafy, the scent of the cilantro itself was extremely strong. Zhang Yitian placed it on the cutting board, and with a raise of his blade, a clatter was heard. After a series of concentrated and continuous sounds, the strand of coriander was still largely in its original shape.
However, if one looked closely, they would be able to see that it was only a surface phenomenon. The stalk of the parsley had already become a fine, even fine, one-millimeter-sized paste. Even the leaves had also become crystal clear fragments.
Guan Yan only took a glance and his mouth was already wide open.
"This... This sabre technique … "This is simply too …" Guan Yan spoke for a long time, but he still could not say a word or two.
The most important part was that he was too shocked. Zhang Yitian's knife skills, were something that only a top grade chef should have. His cutting speed was fast, rhythmic and methodical, and finally, the dishes under his blade were complete and even.
Guan Yan immediately felt a burst of panic, Zhang Yitian's blade technique, was many times stronger than his own.
He turned around and glanced at the foam that he had cut off. It was not comparable to Zhang Yitian at all. The cilantro that Zhang Yitian cut out was basically the size of a millimeter, but what about himself?
A millimeter and two millimeters each, and the rhythm also determined that it was not as stable as Zhang Yitian's.
Guan Yan muttered in his heart: "He's really a god! "This brat doesn't seem to be in danger, but I didn't think he would actually have the skill to do so. This is a little fucking suspenseful …"
Wiping away the sweat on his forehead, Guan Yan was even more afraid to leave the kitchen. He had to see, whether Zhang Yitian only had the ability or the ability to display everything.
If that was the case, then compared to a bird, running away was the real thing! A hundred thousand yuan? This was all he had. Moreover, from the beginning, he had never wanted to hand over the money.
Zhang Yitian remained calm and collected, and started preparing the steamer after dealing with the fish.
When Guan Yan steamed the fish, the bottom of the basket was completely filled with boiled water. He did not think too much about it, after all, this was what his master had taught him.
But he saw that Zhang Yitian had prepared a lot of seasonings and threw them into the boiling water at the bottom of the wok.
Seeing this action, Guan Yan felt like he had been enlightened. Is that so? This was indeed a solution, but why hadn't he thought of it before?
Zhang Yitian's following movements were also different from his. According to Guan Yan's habit, he would directly put the fish into the steamer.
As for Zhang Yitian, he boiled the water with all sorts of seasonings before putting in the fish.
Guan Yan had heard of this method before, but this was a method used to cook Fishes s and had long been eliminated. Taking this method out now instead made Guan Yan feel more at ease.
Speaking of the old method of cooking Fishes, Guan Yan's master was an expert, but in the end he still gave up on the tedious and strenuous method and changed to the new method.
The main reason for this was because the taste of the fish couldn't be fully reflected in what the old method was used to produce.
Right now, Zhang Yitian was obviously asking for trouble.
Guan Yan had simply ignored the surprise and panic from the time he saw Zhang Yitian's exquisite sword technique, and calmed down even more.
He knew very well that the things that he had made using this old method would either be the work of the Master Chef, or else there would be no Fishes like him that was able to taste as good as the new version.
Guan Yan also did not look anymore, and directly returned to the living room. Seeing the three girls who had already eaten their fill, his complacency increased.
Although he did not know this brat's name, he still believed that it was an easy thing for him to defeat him.
Everything this fellow does is an old trick, it would be weird if he can win!
In the kitchen, Zhang Yitian was extremely busy, he directly put the fish into the steamer.
Wen Huo asked for twenty minutes and a half, a point in time that Zhang Yitian had repeatedly mentioned in his memory.
Just wait another twenty minutes and you'll know who the winner is.
Zhang Yitian took the time and returned to the hall. The expression on his face was relaxed, without a single trace of nervousness.
However, Zhang Yitian's sudden return to the living room surprised him quite a bit. He thought to himself, what is going on with this brat? He had already cooked half of the dish, how could he still dare to walk out of the kitchen? The biggest taboo for the chef was when cooking a dish, if he did not follow Zhang Yitian from beginning to end, Zhang Yitian's actions would either be straightforward or playful. Moreover, countless of experiences had already told Guan Yan what kind of fate would befall him in the business of cooking.
With a sarcastic laugh, Guan Yan waited to see Zhang Yitian become a joke.
This brat's way of doing fish was like an old geezer. He still dared to leave midway. He really wasn't afraid of dying miserably!
From Guan Yan's perspective, the outcome was already decided. When the time came, he only needed to count the money.
Zhang Yitian was not idle either, he did not want Guan Yan to watch this Fishes, he would definitely not be able to watch the next two dishes, rather than idle around, he might as well find a video and watch them.
If he was prepared, he would be able to move forward in the long run.
Seeing that Zhang Yitian was watching the video leisurely, Guan Yan was a little angry. He himself was a famous chef, but he had never dared to be so careless.
Zhang Yitian's expression did not show any signs of panic, but for Ke Xinyi, she could be considered to be extremely excited from start to finish.
Seeing that Zhang Yitian had taken a look at her phone, she didn't even need to think to know that Zhang Yitian was probably just watching a cooking video.
Ke Xinyi had always bragged about herself as a glutton. She had watched a lot of cooking videos online. However, as time passed, she understood that most of them were scammers. There weren't many of them who were truly talented.
This could be considered as Zhang Yitian sharpening his spear, if he did not imitate it well, wouldn't Guan Yan be laughing at him?
Just thinking about it made her nervous for Zhang Yitian.
Just as he was grinding the spear, the words were meant for the old masters, but Zhang Yitian …
"Sigh!" Ke Xinyi sighed and wondered what had happened to her boss. Why is he even more stubborn than a donkey?
As Zhang Yitian watched the video, he also paid attention to the time. After looking at it for a while, twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
In another thirty seconds, Zhang Yitian decisively stood up and ran towards the kitchen. Just as the kitchen door closed, the instant Zhang Yitian opened the door, a fragrance that could be seen with the naked eye drifted out from the kitchen.
All of Guan Yan's fish from half a day ago had been eaten by the three girls until only bones remained. The three of them were still unsatisfied, but the moment they entered the kitchen, their expressions were immediately attracted by the wondrous aroma.
Ah!" It smells so good!
"I... I think I saw fish … "
The expression on Ke Xinyi's face was exaggerated as well. Her mouth grew big, and she looked like she wanted to swallow something whole. The fragrance flowed through her nostrils, spreading and diluting through her various olfactory organs. Then, a burst of fragrance entered her nostrils …
"This... "So fragrant?" Ke Xinyi mumbled to herself in disbelief, "How delicious is that fish meat?"
Before the three of them could recover from their shock, they saw that Zhang Yitian had already walked out of the kitchen with a long plate in his hands.
However, he still managed to squeeze out a smile. "Alright, ancient Fishes s, welcome …"
Before Zhang Yitian could even finish his sentence, Ke Xinyi had already grabbed her chopsticks and poked him. It was as if only the fish was left in his eyes.
Zhang Yitian originally wanted to say something, after all this was his first time cooking food, and he was a little excited to say it, but after looking at the three evaluators …
Cough cough …
"Look at this fish …" It was as if it was going to melt as the texture of the meat became transparent! It's really great! "
"What's the use of looking? Hurry up and eat, it's too delicious. In the future, I must find a man who knows how to cook …"
"It seems... "It seems to be even more than what my husband did …"
Hearing the three of them being so surprised, Guan Yan who had already felt that victory was within his grasp could no longer sit still. The moment the kitchen door opened, he could smell something else in the air.
As a chef, he was extremely sensitive to taste. However, at that time, he was still rejoicing. As matters stood, he also walked over curiously to see what exactly was going on.
