Chapter 570: Chapter 569: The Match of “Bursting Fla” (Part 1)
“Moo—”
A painless moo broke the atmosphere of the competition.
When the cara cut back, people realized that Xia Yu had used a thin and long pointed knife to pierce through the cow’s body, through its flesh and fat, and stabbed into the cow’s heart without damaging the at quality.
Only at that mont did the Wagyu declare death. It still lay toppled, without any struggle before its death.
This scene left the audience speechless.
“Right!”
“He didn’t kill the cow before butchering it just now, he directly dismbered it!”
People ca to this realization, suddenly covered in cold sweat.
To dismber a cow that has not yet died, and for the cow to show no reaction—was it without pain?
Was the knife so swift that the cow felt no pain?
Chiyoda Aichi covered her mouth in front of the cow’s carcass, the low moo from before having left her completely disoriented, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
“Why didn’t it struggle…”
“Because, I am very gentle!”
Hearing the female host’s murmur, Xia Yu rarely threw a teasing glance at her, put away the pointed knife and the Breaking Army Saber, took out another knife, waited for the blood to stop flowing, then bent down and began to observe each part of the at while cutting large pieces of fresh beef.
A whole Wagyu does not have A5 grade at throughout its entire body.
Moreover, to professional chefs, a whole cow can generally be divided into at least ten parts such as shoulder at, brisket, ribeye, rump, belly, shin, and so on…
Ordinary people might not make such clear distinctions, but in the eyes of professionals, the difference in at quality between each part is significant; incorrect cooking thods will result in ruining a dish.
Xia Yu wielded his knife carefully to cut the ‘tenderloin’ from either side of the cow’s spine.
The so-called ‘tenderloin’ is the most tender and delicate part of the beef.
To precisely cut two pieces of tenderloin from an entire cow is not an easy task, not to ntion Far Moon students, but even many restaurant head chefs might not know how to start with a massive carcass. However, Xia Yu took approximately half a minute, made his cuts, and then each piece of tenderloin, weighing about 30 kilograms, was casually hung on his left arm, which was covered with a white transparent film.
Thus, with two bright red tenderloins, he returned to his cooking station.
“Thud thud thud thud…”
Suddenly, a rapid sound like rain spread.
The cara imdiately switched from Xia Yu, and on the screen, Li Han was holding cleavers in both hands in front of an oversized chopping board. At so point, he had also taken out two pieces of tenderloin and had finely chopped the beef tenderloin. Now he was wielding his knives like rain, chopping up the beef!
Under the cara’s capture, his twin knives moved with seamless precision.
And, if one observed carefully, it would not be difficult to discover the ‘Li’ family emblem inscribed near the handles of the knives.
These were the Li Family’s extraordinary kitchen tools!
Thud thud thud!
Among the frenetic flashes of the knives, the tenderloin on the chopping board quickly turned into a mush, a complete mince so fine that no chunks of at could be seen.
Even Li Han continued chopping until the at beca similar to machine-ground mince before he stopped.
“Smack…”
As he stopped, Li Han grabbed a handful of the minced at, released his hand, and watched as the morsel of minced at smack down onto the chopping board, emitting a pleasant sound, his face finally showing a smile, “The elasticity, just right!”
In that door of the Supre Fried Noodle Recipe, the beef mince served as one of the dough’s ingredients, with many details needing attention.
Like the so-called ‘elasticity’.
“Can your visual talent catch these details?”
Thinking of this, Li Han looked up at Xia Yu’s cooking station, the corners of his mouth curling into a sly smile.
From the preparation of the materials, the Golden Supre Recipe was full of mysteries.
Heh, thinking of replicating, improving the Golden Recipe?
Don’t dream!
Li Han shook his head; from his perspective, his opponent had already lost the mont they decided on their course of action.
He had tried to persuade him, but the other party did not listen, and was determined to go their own way. There was nothing Li Han could do.
And now, what motivated Li Han to take things so seriously was not the so-called victory, but to maintain the Li Family’s reputation and to reaffirm to the world that the Li Family’s “Bursting Fla” status was not open to challenge!
“Thud thud thud…”
A similar knocking sound interrupted Li Han’s thoughts.
Huh?
Li Han, who was about to move the flour, looked up in alarm.
Across the cooking station, the young man’s preparation unfolded almost as if in a mirror image.
However, the difference was that what the young man held was the “Breaking Army Saber,” and the culinary technique used to chop the at was the “Seven-star Breaking Army Rapid Cutting” which Li Han did not possess. The young man, with one hand on the knife, gave a shake, and the blade’s light covered the chopping board. Splat, splat, splat, splat, the strip of beef didn’t even need to be finely chopped. Under the knife’s shadow, it turned into a pile of blood-red minced at like lting snow…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Han’s brow twitched.
Xia Yu’s approach was markedly different.
He took out a black rolling pin, his expression serious, and started to pound the at paste on the chopping board without pause. Because the force was very well controlled, the at paste didn’t splatter, but the whole cooking station was clearly trembling, indicating that the power behind each blow was imnse.
“How could this be…”
Li Han’s face froze, then he covered it, wanting to burst out laughing.
He had obviously gotten the ‘elasticity’ all wrong!
While the at paste did require ‘elasticity,’ too much ‘elasticity’ would turn it into material for beef balls, not the ingredient needed for the supre stir-fried noodle recipe.
“Don’t bother looking anymore!”
This ti, Li Han finally lost all interest and bent down to get the flour.
The flour and minced beef were mixed.
The ratio of flour to beef was another detail that could not be overlooked.
Without a doubt, the ‘noodle’ part of stir-fried noodles was born during this step, so the treatnt here greatly determined the final dish’s texture and taste, the importance of which is self-evident.
“Pfft!”
“Pfft…”
Li Han’s handling of the flour and minced beef was different from ordinary kneading.
He sprinkled the flour onto the minced at; the white and red mixed together. Like kneading and washing, he worked the flour evenly into every corner of the minced at.
So, for at least half an hour, Li Han was repeating the work.
Sprinkling flour, kneading, and rubbing.
And so, he cycled.
During this phase, Xia Yu and Li Han mirrored each other’s actions, making so audience mbers drowsy from watching.
“That’s about it!”
Li Han was the first to look up.
In front of him, the flour and minced beef were well mixed, the beef’s bloody redness vanished, leaving one whole piece of dough that was pale and delicate.
The dough only needed to rest for 10 minutes, and Li Han wasn’t planning to waste that ti.
He walked to a ‘man-made pond’ reflecting the reflections of the venue’s lights.
The caras followed his movent, the audience’s spirits lifted, all eyes on Li Han, who first left the cooking station, watching how he would proceed with the next step.
“Clang—”
Li Han suddenly bent down and picked up a large earthen jar.
An earthen jar?
People were astonished to realize the jar that had been forgotten in the corner. When the staff had brought in the jar earlier, nobody paid any attention to this easily-overlooked tool.
At the sa ti, Li Han took a gourd ladle.
The gourd ladle dipped into an earthen jar filled with sothing and when it erged, it was holding a ladleful of transparent fat.
With a casual flick of the ladle in Li Han’s hand,
The fat rained down like droplets, sprinkling over every square tal container in the pond.
As a result, a layer of oil floated on the water, with more and more fat accumulating until a thick layer of fat covered the surface.
Then, Li Han lit a fire.
“Boom!”
In an instant, the pond was swept up in flas. The fire was so intense that, as the audience watched in stunned silence, the entire pond was engulfed, and Li Han disappeared into the billowing flas.
“This, this is not fat, but gasoline, alcohol, right?”
“Yes! Fat doesn’t burn like that!”
