If it were to be named simply, Ye Qing's dish could be called Baizuo Dumplings, but many times, a seemingly appropriate name cannot cover all of this work.
At least that's the case at this moment.
On the surface, Ye Qing is just making dumplings over and over again, either pan-fried or deep-fried, boiled, steamed, or even grilled over charcoal, and by changing the fillings of the dumplings, it can be regarded as a new type. Do it hundreds of times.
But this is not the case.
If this is the case, it cannot be worthy of Christie's comment that it is delicious, nor can it be worthy of Ye Luan's compliment.
The most valuable thing about Ye Qing's hundreds of dumplings is that she can always choose the best combination to present them. Just like soup dumplings need to be mixed with stock and crab roe, the dough needs to be made of the strongest flour mixed with egg white, and finally boiled in boiling water until it is cooked thoroughly, so that it can bring out its best taste.
When making crystal clear and extremely delicious shrimp dumplings, the flour used is flour with gluten removed, and then steamed in a basket. Only in this way can the skin be as thin as cicada wings, shiny and thin, and the delicious taste of the shrimp meat can be brought out to the extreme. .
When making pan-fried dumplings, lightly fermented flour is used, and the plumpest lamb meat is minced into mince. The slight muttony smell of the lamb is removed with finely chopped green onions, leaving only the ultimate deliciousness. Coupled with the soft, tender and melt-in-the-mouth texture that is cooked over a slow fire, it will make people ascend to heaven in an instant.
There is also the exotic flavor of making noodles with sour cream and eggs, adding green salt, and a little baking powder. The butter melts in a hot pan to reveal a fragrant and attractive smell. Then add finely sliced onions and fry them until they are transparent. Then add mashed potatoes as the filling, which is absolutely fat but not greasy, and has a pleasant milky aroma.
…
In addition to relying on the recipes Ao Xuehua collected from various places, Ye Qing and Ao Xuehua spent a whole day and night studying the exact ratio of each type of dumplings, even though they knew the hope was slim. Ten thousand times of self-deprecation, but when it came time to go up, Ye Qing never gave up the game, but completely tried to use the best dish he could make at this stage to complete the duel with Christie.
That's why Christie said: "I like your hard work and I feel very sorry."
At the referee's table, the judges finally completed their tasting. Not to mention the three old giants on the right, they each only selected three or four kinds of dumplings that best suited their taste. After tasting them, they had an understanding of this dish. It was close to the overall understanding, and Ye Luan tried a little more because of Ye Qing, but it was only a dozen or so. "
You know, Ye Qing made ninety-nine almost completely different dumplings in front of them.
Only Carrots vigorously developed his terrifying appetite, which was as deep as the abyss, and started a shocking gluttony on the referee's table. So far, he has tried more than fifty kinds of dumplings, but this Ye The biggest traitor in the history of the night has no intention of stopping.
Ye Qing looked at the dishes in front of the others with their chopsticks almost untouched. Although he understood that this was the reserve of the old people, it was like Christie's amazing cup of chewing tea yesterday. They only took a brief taste, but Ye Qing was still very unhappy that they were so neglectful of his efforts.
"Excuse me." Ye Qing didn't wait for Christie to go up to show off her dishes, and spoke forcefully to the five judges above: "Do you still want to try?"
Carrots stuffed the steamed dumplings into his mouth and drank a cup of tea at the same time. His tone was slightly vague: "I, I will fight ten more."
Ye Qing already had a complete understanding of this traitor, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but looked at the other four people seriously: "Where are you?"
Ye Luan hesitated for a moment, then spoke on behalf of all the judges: "Yes, we have all tasted it."
"That's it." Ye Qing nodded, and then looked at Christie. After all, this is her territory: "In addition to the ones that were sent up, I also made some extra ones. Can I share them with the audience present?" "
Christie smiled and unexpectedly did not embarrass Ye Qing: "Cherishing food is really a rare quality, Your Highness Princess."
Ye Qing shook his head and laughed a little at himself: "Although I have been hungry for a while, it has always been difficult for me to cherish food. The reason why I do this is because as a cook, I don't like cooking by myself. of things being wasted by others.”
Christie's smile grew wider. She didn't speak, but calmly raised her hands above her head and gave her three high fives.
As if a gust of wind blew by, twelve girls knelt down one after another in front of Her Majesty the Queen, who usually showed no majesty at all.
"Take the food off the referee's table, pack it separately together with Her Highness the Princess's other finished products, and distribute them to all the spectators present."
Twelve girls whose faces were covered with gauze but whose faces could not be seen clearly but whose figures were slim and graceful, all responded in unison, and then six walked up to the referee's table to collect the six dinner plates respectively, while the other six walked off the field to receive the dishes. Of course, except for the plate occupied by Carrots, everyone else completed the task within a few breaths, and then walked off the field to use a plate without any further instructions from Christie. A small covered dish distributed the various dumplings to everyone's hands.
Christie didn't look at his girl's next move, but walked gently to the table and smiled: "Then, it's my turn."
Without waiting for an answer, she opened the tightly sealed metal lids one by one, pushed the metal food box-like containers one by one in front of the judges and Ye Qing, and handed over a small bowl. , jade chopsticks, and ceramic spoons.
Ye Qing stared blankly at Christie's final work that had scared him so much that he couldn't sleep at night. He couldn't believe it.
"Is this the finished product?" Ye Qing asked without any hope.
Yes, yesterday's chewing tea appearance was also very poor, but in the end, after a series of dazzling operations, he completed a gorgeous counterattack, so Ye Qing will not take it lightly at all.
"Yes, the finished product." Christie replied briskly.
Ye Qing held his head a little feebly.
In front of her, in the round food box, was a bowl of noodle soup as clear as white water. The noodles were as thin as hair and white and smooth.
But even though it looks pretty good, it can’t change the fact that this is a bowl of Yangchun noodles.
She never expected that Christie would use such a completely arrogant attitude to perform the imperial oath with a bowl of Yangchun noodles.
This is a truly stupid act of suicide.
"No." Christie said with a smile: "I didn't give in. On the contrary, out of respect for you, I also produced my most extreme work."
(The following is the boring ramblings of the author who does not know the truth.
Fortunately, I still deleted part of the draft. In line with the principle of writing casually, I casually added a 4000 chapter to make up the number. I didn't expect that the restriction on revision was that it must be no less than 1000 of the original manuscript. Well, I am trapped in a cocoon.
In this case, let's talk about something here, otherwise it would be really unsightly to just paste an irrelevant paragraph.
But what to say? Naturally, it is in the Emperor's Oath chapter, so let's talk about this classmate Christie who bursts with aura when he appears, and he is so angry with the young heroine Ye Qing.
In fact, the idea of the character Christie started a long time ago. She also exists as an important clue character. There are of course many reasons why she is so important but appears so late. On the one hand, the fourth volume is completed. Later, the fifth volume, which was a new beginning to some extent, officially added a large number of heavyweight new characters, such as classmate Lobel who is still in an infant state and is invisible for dozens of chapters when he appears, and the legal girl who is Li has a coquettish and arrogant personality but a childish temperament. For a long time, she appeared as a master in various dialogue narrations, but she turned out to be just a bossy goth loli girl.
Of course, the most important thing is Christie.
In the original conception, she was a character who was similar to a transfer student and was in opposition to Ye Qing to some extent, so the original setting for her at that time was that she was the richest daughter in the world, with the richest old man in the world. Mom and Dad, I am probably a **** girl with grass green hair (green, protecting Ni) or something like that.
Of course, since this is the setting, then this character must be a minor player. Generally, he will be invisible after using the fifth volume, let alone the one person who basically provoked something in the main plot of this volume. In this sense, there is an existence that surpasses the previous volume of Wuyougu. The reason for such a shocking change actually comes from her name.
Originally, what is the name of a supporting character? I set the Commercial Federation to be an existence similar to Western Europe, so do as the Romans do. People in that area will have a lifestyle and naming habits that are closest to the West, so I searched them casually. One of the richest women in the world got the answer based on about 10 years of data. She is the widow of the CEO of Walmart. Her name is Christy Walton, which is transliterated as Christy. She decided to call her that name at that time, and then she discovered the name in an instant. Why is this familiar, and then I discovered that the assistant’s brooch was named Christina. At that moment, I decided that her prototype was the assistant, Makise Kurisu, which is Christina, so her name was divided into Got the nicknames Christy and Tina.
Then Christie's appearance was basically made by the photo assistant. She has medium-length dark chestnut hair, a brown woolen short outfit, and the assistant's favorite white coat. Since she has such a relatively unique appearance, she has to use a round background to give her the attributes of a genius girl. Naturally, she couldn't be less, and then she was immediately set as a crazy experimental girl living in a small home. At this time, the identity could no longer be set in a low setting such as the daughter of a wealthy man, so she was originally the future heir of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce. It becomes a waste, then she should belong to an ancient family, preferably a family that was very powerful but was eventually wiped out in the War of One Hundred Clans, so there is no need to give her the background of the Seven Hidden Clan, so the most tragic one is The Ye Shi clan who had checked the background board countless times was unfortunately included in the list. At this time, my imagination started to open up. The status of an heir is very low. After all, I have a bunch of future NB shining heirs here. There is nothing special about her coming, unless She is the head of the family.
At this time, it was time for Christie to appear. At that time, I temporarily added the most important attribute to Christie, which is fear of the world.
So all the subsequent plots unfolded from the perspective of fear of the world. Why she was afraid of the world was just because she knew the world too well and could see through people's hearts but was hurt the most by them. Therefore, the Croft family, who had the deepest influence on her fate, The civil strife brewed naturally, and I began to call her after the almost omnipotent Eighth Consciousness Alaya Consciousness in Buddhism, which is known as the true meaning of becoming a Buddha. Because in a sense, her abilities are really related to the Alaya Consciousness in the real world. Different approaches but similar results.
By this time, everything from Christie's birth to growth, including hiding herself until she emerged to take control of the family during the civil strife, had been completed, and the character was basically fleshed out. At this time, she could finally support this nearly one-volume plot. And it will play a vital role in the subsequent plot.
And, why not let this extremely pen-heavy character appear earlier?
The reason is simple - she is too strong. Now she is basically equivalent to a weakened version of Yi Lanshan, with enhancements in some areas. So if there was a powerful foreign aid like her that was completely uncontrollable in the first four volumes, I can't even remove the plug-ins even if I want to.
What are you looking at? Yes, in the fourth volume, the third prince was suddenly cut off because the plug-in was cut off because this character was so strong that it would be impossible to write about it without it being cut off.
And, I can give you a little spoiler. In the setting, the Third Prince has a reverse growth trajectory. Everyone else is getting stronger and stronger, but she is the only one who maintains her peak condition when she first appears, and will become weaker and weaker as time goes by. Of course, this is also related to her setting, which is understandable.
above.
If I have time in the future, I will also talk about the creation and modification of other characters.
Of course, if you have time. )
