I started a senior citizen university after being unemployed, and I became the favorite of my uncles

Aunt Zhong is an experienced chef and has participated in many cooking competitions, but she has never competed with foreign chefs.

As soon as Aunt Zhong saw the preparations of her opponent, Aunt Alyssa, she knew she had met a master.

Aunt Alyssa brought her own kitchen utensils and took out a bunch of measuring cups, measuring spoons and even an egg beater from her bag.

Spoons and forks of various sizes were lined up in a row, leaving Aunt Zhong stunned.

Then she saw that she was traveling completely light. She couldn't even bring a knife on the high-speed train, and the pots and pans were too heavy, so she simply didn't bring anything.

The rules of the cooking competition are also very interesting, which is - opening a blind box.

The main team will provide two boxes of identical ingredients, and the opponent will take three items from the ingredients prepared by the organizer.

Then both parties started at the same time, with a time limit of forty minutes to serve two dishes and one soup.

This competition system is similar to "Master Chef". Aunt Zhong and Aunt Alyssa don't know each other's cooking habits, so they have to rely on their own feelings to decide what to use.

As soon as Aunt Alyssa came up, she took away the main ingredient, cooking oil, and vinegar as a seasoning, and the last thing she chose was a piece of tofu.

The last two problems are easy to solve. If you don’t have vinegar, you can use ketchup for seasoning. If you don’t have tofu, avoid dishes that require tofu.

But the cooking oil deal is a bit of a loss.

The onlookers were all worried for Aunt Zhong.

"What else does she do with the oil? Mix the greens with the cabbage for a fat-reducing meal?" The foodie Mr. Fu was furious.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to have a good meal. Old Fu had been thinking about Aunt Zhong's cooking skills for a long time.

Without oil and water, he couldn't imagine how bland the food would be.

Aunt Alyssa took away the oil, and in disguise took away Lao Fu's expectations.

Old Fu was even more anxious than Aunt Zhong. "How could she do this? It's too much!"

"Where's Principal Kobayashi? I want to complain!"

"Don't make such a noise." Aunt Li and Aunt Wu stood together, signaling Mr. Fu to be more calm.

Aunt Li was not with her husband Uncle Zhao this time. She and Aunt Wu came to the exchange conference on behalf of the planting class. Without Uncle Zhao, Aunt Li felt that her ears could have a few days of peace and quiet.

But she forgot that there was an even noisier Lao Fu in the team.

Aunt Li clearly disliked Lao Fu: "I can see that you are not good at cooking. If you don't have oil, you can make oil. It's not a difficult thing."

Aunt Zhong had obviously thought of this as well, and she was not panicked at all.

After Aunt Alyssa finished choosing, it was her turn.

Aunt Zhong was not polite and took away the salad dressing and ketchup. As far as she knew, foreigners liked to put all kinds of sauces in their cooking. After thinking about it, she also took away the butter.

The two of them went back and forth, and after some testing, the competition officially began.

Aunt Zhong really did as Aunt Li said and cut the pork belly first to extract the oil.

The organizer provided a complete range of kitchen utensils, with the knives arranged in order from small to large.

Aunt Zhong picked up a large kitchen knife and started cutting the meat with a clear purpose.

The meat was spread on the chopping board. Aunt Zhong raised her knife and separated the lean meat from the fat, cutting off the connected parts bit by bit. The whole set of movements was very smooth.

The pork belly quickly became divided into two distinct parts: lean meat and fat.

Aunt Zhong simply cut the lean meat into slices, put it aside, and focused on processing the fat.

She cut the fat into thin slices of even size, then put it into a hot pan and fried it slowly over medium heat. The fat in the meat collided with the hot iron pan, making a sizzling sound. With the constant turning of the spatula, the white edges of the meat began to turn brown, and the oozing oil bubbled up in small bubbles. She scooped out a little with the spatula, and the color of the oil was clear.

Aunt Zhong is very familiar with this process.

Aunt Alyssa’s actions on the other side are a bit confusing.

She first picked up a small paring knife, then peeled the potatoes with great effort and cut them into pieces. After a busy period of work, she put the potato pieces into water to boil.

Then she turned her attention to the broccoli. She handled it even more casually. She didn't even use a knife, but just broke it bit by bit with her hands.

Then I cut the lettuce, onions, and green pepper rings.

It really looks like a vegetable conference.

Old Fu was so anxious that he was pacing around outside the venue, "Where's the meat? Why didn't she put any meat in it?"

"You don't really want to eat Chinese cabbage and boiled greens, do you?"

"I don't want it! I want to eat meat."

Aunt Alyssa couldn't hear Lao Fu's shouting, she was busy adding olive oil to the vegetables.

Fortunately, Mr. Fu’s stomach can be comforted by Aunt Zhong.

Aunt Zhong prepared two main dishes: boiled pork slices and dry pot duck.

The boiled pork slices are made with the lean meat that has just been sliced, plus tenderloin, and seasoned with salt, pepper, MSG, and oyster sauce.

The most important thing is to add water and starch to thicken.

Heat the pan and oil, add ginger, garlic and peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant. Fry the bean sprouts, green vegetables and other side dishes until they are 70% to 80% cooked.

Heat the oil and bean paste together to cook a pot of attractive "red soup", then add the tender meat slices one by one.

It's delicious just looking at it.

After everyone swallowed their saliva, they saw Aunt Alyssa on the other side took out a box of yogurt.
