Chatper 24: Spring Rolls

He scooped up a bowl of wheat, directly beat it into flour with a grinder, put it in a bowl, added a little salt, added cold water and stirred it into a floc, then kneaded it into a smooth, non-stick dough by hand, and set it aside for later use.

Later, carrots, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, green vegetables and a piece of pork were selected from the ingredients.

Cut the pork into shreds, add soy sauce, salt, pepper and pepper and other condiments to season and marinate, and cut carrots, lettuce, Chinese cabbage and green vegetables into shreds.

Gu Bai's knife skills are very good, and he heard his position rhythmically ringing in the "Dun Dun Dun" in the entire arena, and even attracted the attention of many players.

The live broadcast camera was also quietly facing him at this time.

[Hahaha, what is this newcomer doing, just listening to the sound can't be cut off, this knife craftsman is too blind, right? 】

【Who is this person? I don't know each other. Few of the contestants who participated this year know each other. It's a pity that many great gods didn't come to participate. 】

[Haha, if I, Lingshen, came to the competition this year, wouldn’t it be hanging and beating up these people? Lingshen said that he should give more opportunities to newcomers. 】

[Lingshen is too generous. To give newcomers a chance, they must have potential and talent. Look at what the newcomers have done this year. I won’t eat it for free. 】

A lot of viewers have poured into the live broadcast room. After all, the popularity of the food competition is still very high. In previous years, it was broadcast live during the finals. This year, it suddenly became a live broadcast of the whole process. Everyone was very curious and came to watch it.

This is exactly what the organizers hope. As for the speech on the barrage, I will ignore it for the time being. Only when there is discussion will there be heat, and when there is heat, more audiences will be attracted to watch.

As for Gu Bai, he didn't even know that most of the discussions in the live broadcast room were about him.

After the sound of "Dun Dun" ended, Gu Bai pressed the carrot with his hand, and the carrot that originally looked intact turned into a flat shape. Then he continued to shred "Dun Dun" while watching the live broadcast. The audience who was laughing at him fell silent for a moment.

[I'll go, this man is a bit of a knifeman. 】

[Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Just now, where are those people who said that people only know how to listen to performances and never stop listening, so they asked you if you were slapped in the face? 】

[I wonder what this person is doing. I just saw that he kneaded flour into a smooth dough by adding water. It’s amazing. Can flour still do this? Why do I only get a sticky batter every time I add water? 】

[Upstairs you are not alone. 】

[So people are chefs, and you are ordinary people. 】

The barrage regained its harmony, but there was a lot more sight on Gu Bai.

After preparing all the ingredients, Gu Bai took out the awakened dough, kneaded it again, cut it into three portions, rolled each portion into long strips, and cut them into small doses.

At this time, Gu Bai realized that the organizer had not prepared a rolling pin.

He rummaged up and down, and finally found a substitute in the corner—a long, slender stick, which he didn't know what it was for.

Gu Bai cleaned and dried the thin stick, and then started rolling out the dumpling skin.

A thin stick is not as easy to use as a rolling pin, but under Gu Bai's hands, it does not affect his movements in the slightest. The small doses quickly turned into sheets of very thin and round dumpling skins.

This move attracted the attention of many viewers, and the barrage in the live broadcast room quickly flashed again.

[It's amazing, how did you do this, just roll it a few times, and the dough turns into a thin sheet? 】

[It's amazing, I'd like to call it magic. 】

[I saw it in the Rain God’s live broadcast room. The Rain God also made dough when he made buns before, but the Rain God was not made with this kind of thin stick. 】

[Is this imitating my Rain God? My Rain God's steamed buns can't be made by anyone. How many people imitate them will end up being like tigers, but it's better for newcomers to be down-to-earth. 】

[The dough made by Rain God is not so thin. When it is so thin, it will not be exposed when it is filled with fillings? 】

[Trouble the fans above to go back to their own home to have a good time, this is the live broadcast room of the food competition, not the live broadcast room of your Rain God, what are you talking about here. 】

[Although I don't know what this person is doing, it doesn't feel like he's making buns, and the fillings prepared are different from Tingyu. 】

Gu Bai made a total of 20 pieces of noodles, then fry a portion of the vegetarian dishes prepared earlier, and fry the marinated shredded pork until it turns white.

Lay the dough flat, place shredded pork, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, shredded lettuce, and shredded green cabbage on the dough in turn, then roll up from one end.

The ten sheets on the left contain fried shredded vegetables and shredded pork, and the ten sheets on the right contain fried shredded pork and raw shredded vegetables.

After wrapping it all up, Gu Bai put the ten sheets on the right into the steamer, and the other ten sheets were all fried. The deep-fried coke aroma and the light aroma of steaming gradually came out, and the fans watching the live broadcast room could clearly smell it. .

[It's so fragrant, although I don't know what he made, it looks delicious. 】

【Want to eat...】

[Unfortunately, they are made in the second world, and we can't taste it at all. When can we make it in reality once, so that we can buy it and try it. 】

[Other people are also very delicious. Although many of them are newcomers who do not know each other this year, there are also many who are good at cooking. I am looking forward to the next competition. 】

[I just want to know when I can try it out, I want to eat it...]

The competition time passed little by little, and most of the contestants' dishes were ready. As long as they were ready, they could press the button in front of them, and then they could give the judges a priority to taste their own dishes.

What Gu Bai did was not complicated. During the frying process, he took time to look at the dishes of other contestants, most of which were green.

After all, the theme this time is spring, and it's not wrong to use green dishes to be conservative, so most of the players have chosen a conservative approach, which has led to the current cookie-cutter.

The judges invited for this food competition are all well-known in the industry, including sharp food critics, well-known chefs, and members of the Chefs Association.

However, after tasting dozens of dishes of the same type in a row, it was inevitable that the taste was fatigued, and the scores were getting lower and lower. The other contestants who watched were panicked.

"Contestant 048 please come forward." The host shouted.

Gu Bai divided all the dishes into five portions, each of which was filled with two steamed and two fried, and then brought a small plate of dipping sauce and brought it to the five judges, then took a few steps back and waited for the judges. result.

The judges, who were originally in high spirits, saw that the dishes were finally no longer luscious, and instantly lifted their spirits.

However, this dish made by Gu Bai is actually not outstanding from the outside. The steamed one is white with the dough, and the fried one is brown. The two together are quite harmonious, but they are not amazing. level.

"What is the name of this dish you made?" Zhou Cegu asked indifferently.

He is a well-known food critic in the Huaxia Empire. He is known for his vicious tongue. Almost all the restaurants he has been to have been criticized as useless. However, what he said is reasonable, so that if these restaurants want to hack him, he will not be able to start.

It is precisely because of his fair comments that he has accumulated a large number of fans. Any restaurant that can be rated as "not bad" by him will basically be full of business every day and become famous quickly.

It's a pity that so far he can count the restaurants or dishes that he has rated as good, and he can count them on one hand. Countless restaurants or chefs want to pay him to say something nice, but he has rejected them.

He also criticized the dishes made by the contestants in front of him without any room for criticism, and the contestant who almost said that he retired on the spot.

"Spring rolls." Gu Bai replied, neither humble nor arrogant, nor nervous.

"Spring rolls? The name is quite interesting, I'll try it first." Another judge Si Xiao, the only woman among the five judges, said with a smile, picked up a steamed spring roll, bit it lightly, and opened her eyes slightly. With a hint of surprise on his face, he quickly chewed a few times and took another bite.

The marinated shredded pork is moderately salty, the lettuce and carrot shreds are slightly crisp, and the shredded cabbage and green cabbage leaves are soft and have the unique fragrance of green vegetables. The three together have a rich taste and rich flavor. The firm dough neutralizes the filling and makes the taste better.

Not only is the taste so rich, but it is even visually pleasing. The shredded meat is slightly white, the carrot is orange red, the lettuce is light green, the cabbage is white with green, and the green cabbage is darker green. Different ingredients have different colors. Wrapped in white dough, isn't it the color of the revival of all things in spring?

"No wonder it's called spring rolls. It rolls up the whole spring. It really lives up to its name." Si Xiao excitedly ate two steamed spring rolls in a row.

When the other judges saw this, they couldn't help but pick up the spring rolls in their Fluttershy. They felt different, but the surprise was the same.

"Although the appearance is relatively ordinary, but there are dry kun inside. The steamed spring rolls fully reflect the original taste of various ingredients, just like the feeling of early spring. The fried spring rolls make the taste even more intense, with the richness of the cooking oil itself. The scorched fragrance of the smoky, adds a new color to spring, and prepares for the arrival of summer, good, very good." The judges used two good ones in a row, which shows that they are very satisfied with the spring rolls.

Even Zhou Cegu, who was the most difficult to deal with, had his mouth raised slightly after he had eaten it all, and gave his own comment, "Not bad."

[I'm going, Zhou Dutong actually gave a "not bad" evaluation, this evaluation is too high, right? Although this spring roll looks really delicious, it doesn't smell that fragrant. It's not as good as the steamed fish of No. 056. 】

[Looking at the way the judges eat so quickly, it must be delicious, I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat! 】

[It is said that the real live broadcast may be added in the later stage of the competition. If it is true, then we can try it and look forward to it~]
