Chapter 220 Chapter 220
Unlike the chaotic scene of the first competition, everyone on the field was wearing chef uniforms with different colors or logos.
The chef uniforms for the duo of Mi Li and Bai Pang were decided by Mi Li herself!
"Brother Bai! Are you ready?" Mi Li asked nervously.
Fatty Bai looked around and saw that others had already started. It was time for them to start, too. He nodded and said firmly,
"let's start!"
After saying that, Bai Pang squatted down, Mi Li hugged Bai Pang's neck directly, and then went straight to the kitchen counter.
Mi Li took out flour from the simulation factor he had entered yesterday, and next to it was boiling water that had been left to cool for a while.
This time, when kneading the dough, start with the soup dumpling skins. When kneading the dough, the ratio of flour, hot water, and cold water is 30:7:8.
First, divide the flour into two parts, pour hot water into half and knead the other half into cold water.
"Brother Bai, come and play!" Mi Li handed a pair of chopsticks in her hand to Bai Pang and said.
In fact, Baipang’s hands are not yet fully capable of using them, but he can still fiddle with the food with a pair of chopsticks!
This is also to give Baipang a sense of participation and avoid violating the rules.
The rice grains were happily mixed with chopsticks, as if they were playing in mud.
But his hands were very fast, and from Baipang's perspective, Mi Li's strength was still acceptable.
"Brother Bai, take your time. We are not in a hurry!" Mi Li looked at Bai Pang who was still moving his chopsticks slowly, and spoke kindly.
It takes two hours, half an hour to knead the dough and another half an hour to let it rest. During this time, Mi Li can prepare all the fillings.
Her hands moved very quickly, and in just a short while, a large piece of dough in Mi Li's little hand took shape. Then, Mi Li also mixed the piece next to Bai Pang's hand.
Then the two flour doughs of different temperatures are kneaded directly together to form a smooth dough, which looks very pleasing to the eye.
The audience in the live broadcast room were in shock and could not recover for a long time.
"Ah, this! Today it's Jixiang Zaizai who's cooking! Can Zaizai cook well?"
"I invested in the big rice combination! It looks like I've really lost everything this time!"
"What is this little cub doing! Oh my god! Is she playing? Those balls of shit seem to be just that in her hands!"
"Disperse! Disperse! It's obvious that this little cub doesn't know anything. Isn't that technique just like a little cub playing with mud and sand?"
"Today it's not Chef Dabai. Gone. Really gone this time! I really look forward to seeing them again in the next chef competition!"
"Hey! Isn't it too much to pin your hopes on a little cub now? How foolish!"
……
Regardless of what a group of netizens who don’t understand the operation on Star Network are sighing about, Bai Pang is also very curious about Mi Li’s operation.
What exactly does the soup dumpling she was talking about look like?
"Little Bubble, just tell me! Is there any secret about this bun?"
As for making buns, he had only learned the ordinary method of making buns. However, most of the buns made with the flour provided by their school were hard, difficult to chew, and quite demanding on the teeth.
So when he heard Mi Li say such a new word, his curiosity made him feel itchy inside.
"Didn't I tell you? Brother Bai, aren't the steps different?" Mi Li answered with squinted eyes while chopping the stuffing in her hands.
The small kitchen knife made a "dong dong" sound when it was used, and it looked quite professional.
Pork skin jelly, star beast meat, ginger, shallots, salt, sugar, etc., while light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and cooking wine are all produced in her space.
She always felt that the condiments from the stars were not very authentic, so she just took them out and recorded them since she happened to have them in her own space!
The taste is so good that I need only to describe it!
The fillings were simply chopped into pieces by rice grains, which looked like it took no skill at all. There were originally more than one billion viewers in the live broadcast room, but now there are only 100 million or 200 million left!
"What's going on! It looks like I can do it too! But this is my level! It's too bad!"
"Hey! I've always been optimistic about this group, but this is all I get to see? That's it?"
"Disappointed! So disappointed! Could it be that the Dabai duo has simply given up now? I see so too. A little cub and a chef with both hands broken, what's there to see!"
"Woo woo woo! Forget it! I'd better just look at the auspicious cub's stunning beauty! I'd better just ignore the cooking. Isn't it enough to just have hands to cook with such lack of skills! Will the next thing be that the little cub will mix that stuff with all the hodgepodge? It doesn't look appetizing at all!"
"Has everyone noticed? This little cub looks like the little cub that was stranded on the deserted planet before! If it's her, I think she can win this competition!"
"Oh! I can't bear it anymore! No matter how cute Jixiangzizi is, I just can't understand what she is doing!"
……
The barrage of comments flashed by quickly, and General Gu Anyi, who was looking at the barrage of comments, looked at the little cub on the screen who was concentrating on cooking and occasionally chatting with the people around him with a look of satisfaction on his face.
He knew on the deserted planet that this little cub had a great talent for cooking. Now that he could enter the fifth game, he felt like an old father and was deeply comforted.
So, after secretly learning that there was a gambling game on the Star Network, General Gu Anyi directly invested a lot of star coins in Mi Li.
It's not about whether the little cubs can advance, it's just to give them face.
"Have they all been notified?" General Gu Anyi asked, glancing at his deputy beside him.
"Everyone has been notified! All members of our Fourth Legion who are on leave have arrived at the live broadcast room!"
"Okay! Follow my orders and refresh the screen for me later!" General Gu Anyi said in a gentle voice.
What is hardcore support? I just saw all the bad comments about MiLi, and suddenly it was like a collective data-brushing attack by a strong force, and my screen exploded.
Almost all the comments are praising Mi Li. Even a small movement or expression of Mi Li will be praised to the sky by people who fill the screen with comments!
Some netizens thought that these were the original fans of the little one, but once they made some bad remarks, the barrage of comments immediately became very fast.
Some netizens gradually figured out some clues.
These were water armies! They had never seen a live broadcast room for a not-so-big game employ so many water armies.
A small number of people reported the matter directly, but the results showed that there was no trace of water army manipulation, and everyone was a real audience.
And General Gu Anyi’s trick is “army”, but not water army. A group of his subordinates took turns to go into battle, and they praised people from different angles, so you can’t tell that they are water army at all.
If Mi Li knew about this, she would sigh and say, it’s so hardcore!
After such a bizarre incident, the popularity of Mi Li's live broadcast room quickly increased, and a large number of viewers poured into the room, which was originally a little bleak.
And someone unknown posted a post that was directly at the end of the hot search list and quickly rushed into the top 50 hot searches.
Some viewers who failed to report and wanted to complain could only turn to Star Network's hot searches.
"Just now, I went in to take a look and said, what a shame, and in just a second, they were directly wiped out. What kind of family background does this Dabai group have? They are so powerful!"
"Now they are praising Jixiangzizi in various ways. I don't know what kind of person he is. He is really rich. I envy this hardcore way of cheering!"
"Ahem! But I still want to complain. This kind of eye-catching live broadcast room, watching a cub being a chef is full of conspiracy theories. Could this be deliberately packaged?"
"Eh! This is so disgusting. They are actually doing this during the competition! Are they afraid of not advancing and want to get more exposure? The family behind this kid is really insidious!"
"It looks very young! Could it be that this little cub was forced to work when he just turned five? If so, I have something to say!"
"It should be packaged. This cub will definitely become someone's money-making tool from now on! Woohoo! As a mother of a little cub, I can't bear to see such a thing happen!"
……
The comments became more and more biased, and the matter of "the little cub becoming a tool to make money" really touched the hearts of netizens deeply. Just like that, everyone followed suit and flocked into Mili's live broadcast room.
Everyone wants to see whether this poor little cub was brought in for hype.
Mi Li, who had no idea that he had become the poor kid in people's eyes again, finally waited for the dough to wake up.
The little hands patted the dough that had been proofed and divided it into small portions one by one.
Then, he took out a rolling pin from somewhere.
Because his hands were still small and unfamiliar with the technique, he slowly rolled the dough with a rolling pin. After a series of movements, a somewhat irregular round thin sheet emerged.
After that, the second one, the third one...it went more and more smoothly and faster and faster. It only took twenty minutes to make a lot of dough.
Mi Li saw that there was still some leftover dough, so she didn't care and started wrapping them.
A large spoonful of filling, a piece of dough, and as the rice grains quickly close up, exquisite and delicate soup dumplings are freshly baked.
The soup dumplings are about the size of a small palm-sized grain of rice.
On the other side, Bai Pang just watched Mi Li's series of operations eagerly and even had some questions.
Isn't this just a normal way to make steamed buns? It's a pity that Xiao Pao even gave it a different name.
He shook his head. Anyway, it was almost over now. Looking at Mi Li who had specially found small bowls that were the size of the soup dumplings and placed them one by one in the steamer, Bai Pang felt that this result was doomed!
"Little Bubble! You're great! I know you've tried your best! It's okay!" Fatty comforted.
Mi Li looked at Bai Pang who was a little depressed and comforted him in return.
"Brother Bai! I know I'm great! But it's not the last moment yet! Don't be too sad!"
As he spoke, he clapped his little hands, stood on the kitchen counter, stood on tiptoe, and patted the chubby boy's shoulders.
Phew~ Fortunately the kitchen counter is quite high, otherwise she would hardly be able to reach it even if she stood on tiptoe, Mi Li thought to herself.
Bai Pang just thought that Mi Li was also comforting him, and couldn't help but be moved.
"Little Bubble, next time, in our next competition, can I still be your partner?"
He is very confident that his cooking skills will be good, now it just depends on whether Xiao Pao is willing to do it!
Of course Mi Li is willing. Bai Pang is indeed a talented cook. And most importantly, he only wants fame, not profit. Even if he doesn't advance in this competition, she can still consider teaming up with him next time.
"Of course you can, but we don't have to wait for the next session! Brother Bai! Maybe we still have a chance to advance. If you don't believe me, try smelling it." Mi Li said, sniffing the fragrance in the air carefully with her delicate little nose.
The opponents they were drawn to in the competition area seemed to be not very strong, and Mi Li thought they might be able to fight.
During the competition, although they could see the performances of the surrounding chef combinations, their sense of smell was like an invisible wall separating them.
This has been implemented since the beginning, and this is also why the organizers feel it would be bad if the food were to have mixed flavors!
After hearing what Mi Li said, Bai Pang noticed that there seemed to be a faint fragrance in the air!
"This... is this our competition work?" The fat white man's eyes, which had been squeezed out by the flesh on his face, opened a lot in shock.
As time passed, the aroma in the air became stronger and stronger, and the smell of star beast meat mixed with various spices drifted throughout the space.
With a "ding" sound, the time for the rice grain setting has come!
In a large steamer, there are dozens of delicious soup dumplings, which are round and plump, and you can even clearly see the meat filling inside. They are placed in small bowls next to each other, looking mouth-watering.
Bai Pang looked at the finished product, which was completely different from steamed buns in appearance, and the aroma made him swallow his saliva.
Now he finally believed what Xiao Pao said that there might still be a chance to advance. Even if he only ate the fillings, he felt it was worth it!
Mi Li didn't care what Bai Pang was thinking. She took a pair of heat-insulating gloves, took out the best-looking soup dumplings, and put them on the scanning table. There were still a few left, so she placed them directly in front of Bai Pang.
"Lift it gently, move it slowly, open the window first, then drink the soup, finish it all in one go, and your mouth will be full of fragrance!" Mi Li murmured in her childish voice.
This is the recipe for eating soup dumplings that she saw on the Internet before! It’s not bad to tell Baipang now.
Sure enough, Bai Pang brought out two high stools, one for Mi Li and one for himself, and sat down to prepare to taste the delicious food.
Bai Pang followed the steps Mi Li told her and was not in a hurry. She just did whatever Mi Li did.
Since it is a small bowl, the rice grains are not hot. I just poke it lightly with chopsticks. With a "squeak", the soup and aroma inside flow out directly. I blew it gently until it is not too hot, then I slowly start to enjoy the food.
