Chapter 581 Re-engraving
Yu Yizhuo started filming with Ma Lu last night and worked on it until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. He will continue filming early this morning.
And the millipedes can rest, but they can't. I was a little tired now, so I closed my eyes by the flower bed and took a short rest.
She opened her eyes again when she heard footsteps and saw Ma Lu passing in front of her carrying a bag of melon seeds and potato chips.
Malu took two steps and then stepped back.
"What's the matter?" Yu Yizhuo asked.
"Are you injured?"
"Not at all. You are free to do what you want. Even if I date Miss Qi Shanzhu, I will not be unhappy."
"No, no, no, I'm not talking about this, that's what I'm talking about."
"Huh?"
Yu Yitong followed Ma Lu's gaze and lowered his head, only to realize that his skirt had been stained with blood at some point.
"Ah."
Yu Yizhuo's face turned red and she was very embarrassed. She rummaged through her bag, but couldn't find the sanitary napkin inside.
Because this menstrual period came earlier than usual, Yu Yizhuo was not prepared.
Seeing this, Malu took off his shirt and handed it over.
Yu Yitong hesitated.
"Why are you still standing there? Just take it and tie it around your waist to block the blood stains." Ma Lu said, "I'll go to the front desk to buy you a pack of sanitary napkins."
"No, I'd better ask David to buy it for me, and it will stain your clothes." Yu Yizhuo said.
"It doesn't matter. I brought three sets of clothes with me this time, and I have to wear a chef's uniform for the competition. Kawano Zhengming also lent me one set."
Ma Lu said, "Farewell, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, look at that boy, does he look like he will be called over by you?"
Yu Yitong glanced at David who was not far away and saw that he was photographing Qi Shanzhu non-stop. He didn't notice that the real owner, Ma Lu, was gone.
Fortunately, he had patted his chest before and promised to keep a close eye on the person.
"Well, then... thank you very much." Yu Yizhuo took the shirt.
Ma Lu then went to buy sanitary napkins for her. Yu Yizhu went upstairs to change into sanitary napkins and a new set of clothes. When he came out of the room, there was no blood on his body.
"I'll return the shirt to you when it's washed."
"Okay."
"…………"
After that, neither of them spoke for half a minute, and there was only the sound of slightly embarrassed breathing in the air.
"Since you're fine, I'll go down and continue swimming." Ma Lu said.
"Well, I'll go down with you too, because my job is..."
"I know, I know, let's go together."
…………
After swimming, Malu originally wanted to drag Qi Shanzhu and Sun Mei to play cards together, but Sun Mei refused.
Sun Mei said that her leisure time was over and she still had serious things to do next.
Malu thought she was preparing for tomorrow's game, but when dinner was approaching, she was mysteriously pulled to a place by Kawano Zhengming.
"Here is..."
"As chefs in specialty restaurants, the hotel specially set aside a place for us to practice our skills and find inspiration," said Kawano Zhengming.
Malu looked around and saw many contestants who had passed the first round of competition, busy here, testing new ingredients and new dishes.
Malu also saw a familiar figure among them, "Ha, isn't that Sun Mei?" "Yes, when I came here I heard that she had been here for more than five hours."
"So long? But don't you still know what the competition will be tomorrow? Is it necessary to prepare for such a long time?" Ma Lu was puzzled.
"She is not busy with tomorrow's game." Kawano Zhengming said.
"That's even more strange. Why is she staying here if it's not for tomorrow's game? By the way, do you know, this hotel also has a foot massage service, and it's quite comfortable."
"It's to recreate "Grilled Steamed Buns"." Kawano Zhengming said.
"What?"
"Sun Mei is here to reproduce your "Grilled Steamed Buns"."
"Ah...wait, why?"
"Because she doesn't want to lose to you," Kawano Zhengming said, "she wants to prove that she can do what you can do.
"This extraordinary obsession with winning is probably why she was able to win so many games at such a young age, defeat opponents much older than her, and climb to the top."
"Well... I can understand her persistence, but unfortunately she can't replicate this dish." Ma Lu said.
Sun Mei frowned in the corner of the kitchen. She had already made eight batches of baked buns, but she still failed, not even close to succeeding.
It took her a lot of time just to find a way to put all the other ingredients in the bun without breaking it.
This is different from steamed buns because there is a considerable gap between the filling inside and the top crust.
How to ensure the existence of these gaps so that the thin paper-like bun head does not fall off and cover the ingredients inside is a very challenging task.
Fortunately, Sun Mei finally thought of a solution, which was to inflate the steamed buns.
Use gas of sufficient density to prop up the buns.
But before she could be happy, she encountered a new problem. The fairy aura created by Malu was, as expected, water vapor.
This water vapor comes from the lamb chops and other vegetables in the ingredients. It turns into water vapor through baking, and is then blocked by the steamed bun shell and remains in the steamed bun.
In this way, when you crack the steamed bun shell, you can see the mist-shrouded scene.
Theoretically it makes sense, but in practice it is very difficult because the steamed bun shell itself is not waterproof. Once too much moisture accumulates on the top, it will collapse due to moisture.
In addition, in order to ensure the gap between the steamed bun scalp and the ingredients, Sun Mei had already filled it with air. These gases will expand after being heated, thereby stretching the steamed bun or deforming the steamed bun.
This is why Sun Mei tried so many times but failed, and she found it difficult to completely control the shape of the ingredients after cooking.
In addition, how to ensure that the mutton inside the steamed buns and the steamed bun shell on top can be grilled to the best condition is also more difficult than Sun Mei imagined.
Considering the thickness of the buns, she had to stay in front of the oven and keep an eye on the changes in the oven. She couldn't walk around like a millipede.
But even so, it's still difficult to control the heat, let alone make 13 servings in one go.
Sun Mei would have a moment of doubt in her heart when she tried to recreate it.
Can anyone really do this?
The answer is undoubtedly yes, because Ma Lu has done it before, and it was still in the competition. This is why Sun Mei still wants to try after failing many times.
But she had to stop now, not because she was tired, but because the ingredients she borrowed from the kitchen were already used up, and the bad baked buns couldn't just be thrown away. It was too much of a waste of ingredients. .
After all, just because she couldn't replicate the effect of "Grilled Steamed Buns" doesn't mean that these things can't be eaten.
Generally, in restaurants, this kind of spoiled test product is eaten by the staff inside the restaurant.
It's just that Sun Mei is not in the restaurant now, and there are no staff around her, and she can't do such a thing as showing such a failed work to other chefs or members of the public jury.
So she was stuck here, so when she saw Ma Lu and Kawano Zhengming coming, she felt like she was saved.
