After Xiaotaotie became the control group in the live broadcast of Huangxing

Making mandarin fish does not require too much thought. The snack baitang decided the cooking method almost instantly when he saw it. It was one of his favorite dishes in the world of beasts.

The first step in cooking fish is always cleaning.Bai Tang cut open the belly of the fish from the bottom, carefully removed the internal organs of the mandarin fish—that is, the clownfish here—in front of the pool, and washed the abdominal cavity clean.Then, amidst bursts of astonishment from the audience, he neatly separated the fish head from the fish body.

Even though the shouts of tens of thousands of spectators on the field passed through the transparent light panels with simple sound insulation treatment, they were still loud when they entered the players' cubicles, but Bai Tang was not affected at all.

From the 01 split screen, you can see his slightly drooping long eyelashes when he is concentrating on it. Although the fish under his hand is not beautiful, every operation of his thin white fingers with water droplets still looks like an artistic creation.

At this time, most of the players who got the fish before Bai Tang had already started to cook.There are also some people who have really studied cooking, the contestant Duke of the murloc race, and the elder Agares of the feather race, choose to marinate the fish first to remove the fishy smell.

Without exception, although all the fish under their hands have been cleaned, they all maintain the outline of the whole fish, and there is no one who directly disassembles the fish like Bai Tang.

However, Bai Tang’s journey of dismantling the fish was not over yet—he used a knife to split the body of the fish into two halves along the outline, only the tail was still connected, and the mandarin fish became two flat pieces of finely powdered fish in an instant block, with messy blood streaks in the central part.

[I'm going, won't it be uglier than before, can it work? 】

[Did the little vase forget that the appearance of the food is also counted?Can the fish look good if it is completely cut up? 】

[Tang Tang didn't release the water on purpose, did he?I haven’t seen him handle fish like this before when chopping pepper fish head and frying fish.]

[I think he was pretending to be humble on purpose, the last fish selection turned over, and he took a clownfish that he couldn't deal with and returned it badly]

[The food anchor No. 1 who has been popular for so long is at this level?If you can't pretend, you can't show bad? 】

[It seems to be intentional, not sure, look again]

[A conjecture is not necessarily correct, is it deliberately cut into this shape so that it is not ashamed to lose when the time comes? 】

Seeing Bai Tang's behavior, the audience expressed their confusion, and most of the voices in the barrage were mocking the show. Some contestants who were quietly paying attention to Bai Tang were also surprised by such an unheard of handling method.

"Let you pretend." Eugene put the marinated fish into the pot and poured water, and glanced at Bai Tang's split screen, his eyes were full of disdain.

Little Taotie, who was looked down upon by everyone, was very satisfied with his progress at this time.

After the belly was cut open, the middle part of the fish belly with blood clots and sharp thorns was exposed to the air.Bai Tang cut them off and threw them into the trash can, then put the skin of the fresh and tender two-lobed fish meat down, and cut the knife at an angle at a fixed distance, then changed the side and continued to cut obliquely with the straight knife.

Each of his knives is very light, and the fish is not completely cut off. The bottom of the fish is still connected to the skin. After the knife is finished, the fish shows a beautiful diamond pattern, and the pink and white flesh is a bit crystal clear. The split-screen shots that only capture the whole fish are particularly outstanding.

Seeing such an innovative fish treatment method, Yang He on the rostrum couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What is Bai Tang going to do?"

Jiang You smiled at the side without saying a word. He had seen a bag of cornstarch that Bai Tang took out in advance, and he, who followed Chef Bai every day to help him, already had an idea of ​​Bai Tang's thoughts on cooking this time.

The fishy smell of mandarin fish is almost zero, and it is a freshwater fish with tender and sweet meat.Bai Tang took out the freshly chopped green onion and ginger from the space bag, pasted it on the two large pieces of fish, added a little koji, fruit juice and salt, and grasped the seasoning evenly with transparent gloves.

While the fish was marinating, he poured a large amount of oil into a large pot, then lit the fire to heat the oil, turned around and walked back to the fish, took them out of the transparent bowl, took out an egg and beat them , Dip the egg liquid on the fish, and finally put the fish into the raw powder bowl aside, and evenly coat the two pieces of fish with a thick layer of white raw powder.

At this time, the oil pan has also been preheated, Bai Tang grabbed the mandarin fish tail and gently put two pieces of carved and floured fish meat into the pan for deep frying. Float around the fish.

Bai Tang also put the fish head into the pot and fried it. It took only a few tens of seconds for the high-temperature hot oil to turn the white fish head and fish meat coated with powder into a crispy golden color. The epidermis hardens and becomes more defined.

Putting the fried fish meat and fish head aside, Bai Tang took another small pot and started making the sauce.The sauce is sweet and sour, and requires the use of two very similar fruits, red cones and tomatoes.

The red cones are more bright red in color, refreshing in taste, sweet and sour among the sweet and sour, while the tomatoes in the Star World are no different from the beast world, with sandy pulp, sour taste, obvious graininess, and relatively thick.The two are scalded, peeled, cut into pieces and put into a blender to make a very delicious sweet and sour sauce with bright red color and sticky texture.

After the sauce was made, Bai Tang poured a little oil into the small pot, poured the red sauce into the pot, added a little minced garlic and stir-fried, and the aroma soon spilled out of the pot.Then Bai Tang added a little water to it and boiled it, then added some sugar crystals and white vinegar to taste.

In order to make the appearance perfect, Bai Tang picked out washed fresh green beans, corn kernels and pine nuts from the space bag, and added them to the sauce for the final stir-fry to collect the juice.

At this time, the bright red sauce has bursts of sourness and sweetness. The added ingredients not only enrich the color of the sauce, but also perfectly combine with a hint of garlic, which can faintly taste the aroma of roasted nuts.

Taking the white jade plate with fried golden fish, Bai Tang briefly adjusted the position of the fish head and body, then raised his hand and pressed the "Final Adjustment" button on the edge of the table.

Soon, the transparent partitions around No. 01 cooking area instantly dimmed, and Bai Tang's figure disappeared from the screen.

This is an ingenious idea of ​​the competition committee of this God of Cooking Competition. In order to properly increase the attractiveness and mystery of the final dish, each contestant will not be seen by anyone at the final stage of cooking. , as long as the button on the side of the table is pressed, the area where the players are located will turn into invisible mode.

Due to the relatively cumbersome production steps, Bai Tang was not the first group of people to complete the cooking.

Seed players other than him, such as Eugene and Duke, and Elder Agares who came to participate together, had their screens blacked out long before him. It means that they failed to cook and the ingredients were damaged, and they voluntarily withdrew from this competition.

About 5 minutes after Bai Tang finished cooking, the rest of the contestants who were still busy in the cooking area also completed the production one after another. With the order of the host, all the cooking areas from 01 to 50 became transparent again. Contestants wearing various chef uniforms put on silver dining covers and white jade plates with constant temperature function, and walked to the front of the stage one by one and stood up according to the serial number.

[I don’t know if the little vase succeeded this time, I was terrified when I saw him cutting the fish before...]

[I feel that Tang Bao should have a new idea this time to deal with the fish like that, I believe him! 】

[No, I think it was a car overturned and urgently looking for repairs, I am not very optimistic about the finished product]

[I really envy the jury this time, they can eat so many delicious dishes QAQ]

[I also signed up for the lottery but I was not selected, I hate it]

Among the many discussions, Bai Tang, who was still at the top of the crowd, received the most attention.The display order of the dishes was in the order of the completed dishes, and Bai Tang was at the bottom of the list, and was led to the other side of the table by the host to wait for a while.

At the front of the table sat 30 judges from the first round of the competition. Among them were food anchors who signed up but were not selected, and ordinary people who were lucky enough to enter the jury after being selected by one out of ten million. There are palace chefs who are studying food, and even imperial fleet captains who like food.

Ka Suo was the first to show his cooking. He chose a long and slender eel. The cooking method was grilled. It may be that he was not proficient in the fire. There were a lot of burnt black on the fish, which made the judges who tasted it one by one feel embarrassed. The little one frowned.

The mechanism of the first round is a voting system. After each tasting, if the judges think that this dish is worthy of promotion, the judges will press the voting button in their hands, and they can vote for multiple people. Finally, the top 10 people with the highest number of votes will be selected to advance. .

Unfortunately, Ka Suo's charred eel only got the support of 3 people. He exited in embarrassment, and the next few players didn't get more than 10 votes.

"I'm very confident in the cooking this time." After another person came off the stage dejectedly carrying a plate, Eugene stood in front of the jury holding a plate.

"The fish I chose this time is deep-sea minnow, which is boiled. The name of the dish is slow-cooked minnow."

As he spoke, he lifted the cover, and a milky white fish soup appeared in front of everyone.The whole flat body of the minnow was bent and nested in the white jade pot, the surface was covered with snow-white soup, and it seemed that it was not at the same level as the previous contestants.

Eugene raised his head amidst the bursts of praise from the barrage, and glared at Bai Tang triumphantly, but failed to attract the latter's attention, so he had to give up angrily.

"The appearance is good, and the color of the dishes is very good." Lan Jun, the head chef of the Norma Empire's court, nodded, with no emotion in her blue eyes.

"Thank you Lord Lan Jun for your appreciation." Eugene clenched his fists excitedly on the stage.

"To tell you the truth, it's not a compliment." The young head chef with long blond hair shook his head, "Your shortcomings are also obvious. Minnows are small monsters that live in the deep sea, and they have a strong fishy smell. Your seasoning method is to ensure the color. Choose a light taste, but ignore the fishy smell that has not been removed."

Lan Jun scooped a spoonful of soup into her own bowl, sipped it lightly and then stopped. There was no emotion on her calm Jun face, and she said, "I still can't give you this point."

"You can try the fish...the fish must be very tender, I am very confident in the cooking!" Eugene's face turned pale, and he still did not give up.

"I tried it." Yan Liang, the captain of the first brigade of the Imperial Fleet, put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly: "Lan Jun is right, although your meat is fresh and tender, the smell of the sea conflicts with the light soup base, please Keep going."

Eugene's score was terminated at 25 points.His plump face was full of puzzlement, but he could only take back his own food, and silently stepped aside.

"It's so strict... I want to see who can get everyone's approval."

Duke, a murloc contestant, chose a grilled fish. He took the opposite path from Eugene, marinating the fish with various spices to erase the original umami taste. The stern Lan Jun and others also exited with 25 points.

Elder Agares has a deep knowledge of Bai Tang's true biography. This time he chose a flat river fish to make a boiled fish, and used the skill of pickling peppers that Bai Tang taught him, and successfully won Yan Liang's approval.

"The appearance is bright, the overall feeling is strong, the fragrance is obvious, and the combination of fish and seasoning is not obtrusive." Said the fleet captain with short hair like a steel needle, and pressed the voting button.

"It's a pity that your cooking is on the surface, and the fish meat on the inside near the fish bone is not fully flavored. Be careful next time." Lan Jun said gently, but her fingers didn't intend to press the voting button for a long time.

In the end, because the spiciness also made the other three judges feel that it was a bit too much, the elder of the Yuren clan who had been diligently practicing his craft won the temporary first place with 26 points.

"There are only a few people left, but we haven't been able to see some innovations for a long time." Yan Liang turned to Lan Jun and said during the host's report, "It's not like you won't be able to vote in the first round."

"They are all too obsessed with the original shape of the fish, and the seasoning is also single." Lan Jun closed her eyes slightly, and took a sip of tea, "However, my ticket will probably give it out..."

"Huh? Is there someone you are optimistic about in this match?"

"Yes." Lan Jun's indifferent blue eyes fell on a small man in the distance who was actively interacting with a plate in his hand towards the distant rostrum. His expression was very natural, without pride or timidity, as if he was just here to participate He played a small cooking game, his amethyst-like eyes were extremely clear.

"Before I had an epiphany about real cooking, he opened up a new world in the live broadcast. I... am his admirer."

"I seem to know who you are talking about." Yan Liang followed his gaze meaningfully, "Isn't your judgment biased in a while?"

"No." Lan Jun's eyes closely followed the black-haired boy who was walking towards the jury after being notified by the host.

"Because it is him, I will raise the standard and be strict."

When Bai Tang walked slowly to the center of the stage amidst the discussions, everyone's eyes fell on him.There was a moment of silence in the air.

"My dish is called squirrel... expensive fish." Considering that people here call mandarin fish clown fish, Bai Tang quietly changed the name of the dish to a homonym.

"Because its production process is a bit cumbersome and different from general fish dishes, it is very precious to me, and it is my painstaking effort."

Little Taotie's eyes are always extraordinarily bright when he talks about his own dishes. His white and tender fingertips lightly rest on the silver and clean table cover, and he gently reveals the secret of his favorite dish in the eyes of everyone. The last veil.

"As for why it's 'squirrel', it's useless to say more, please take a look."
