Suddenly, Lin Xu let out a deafening sound.
The sound burst forth from the dantian, carrying an overwhelming momentum.
Then, the veins on his arms continued to bulge, his face turned red from the exertion, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground, where they were instantly absorbed by the dry ground.
At this moment, Lin Xu was filled with boundless power.
Then he swung the chain even harder, and the wine jar in mid-air began to spin continuously.
Its rotation speed is getting faster and faster.
Until the end.
Even if Managi and Anne looked closely, they could only see afterimages.
"So fast!"
"So strong!"
"Lin Xu's strength is astonishing!"
Annie was almost numb with shock from Lin Xu's performance.
"I see."
"Is this why he's willing to go to any lengths to keep the wine jar spinning rapidly?"
Nakiri Managi's eyes flashed, and she murmured.
……
Spin the wine jar at high speed.
It looks like acrobatics, but it's all show and no substance.
In fact, it contains the highest wisdom and secrets of cooking.
As the ingredients collide inside the jar, their surface textures are broken, and the flavor molecules that were originally trapped inside the ingredients are released like birds breaking free of their shackles.
These flavor molecules intertwine and permeate each other within the confined space of the jar.
Just like different colors of paint blending on a canvas, gradually creating a magnificent and richly layered picture of taste!
slowly.
As the time goes.
Various flavors are no longer isolated entities.
They complement and reinforce each other, ultimately achieving an unprecedented harmony and unity.
The potentially conflicting flavors of spiciness and sweetness, richness and freshness, are cleverly blended together in this rapidly spinning wine jar, creating a unique and wonderful new taste.
This flavor retains the unique characteristics of each ingredient while transcending their individual flavor limitations.
"Harmony in diversity".
"I remember this is the beauty of Chinese cuisine!"
Managi couldn't help but sigh.
……
"Passing through a volcano!"
Lin Xu let out a low growl, while holding the wine bottle steadily in his other hand.
He then slowly brought the bottle to his lips, his eyes fixed on the front.
Gulu gulu!
The liquor, like a rushing stream, flowed into his mouth through the bottle.
He gulped down the liquor, his Adam's apple bobbing as if he wanted to inhale it all into his mouth.
As he drank the strong liquor, the spicy sensation exploded in his mouth, but Lin Xu didn't even flinch. He simply held the mouthful of liquor in his mouth, letting the liquid churn freely.
Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly put down the bottle.
Then he took a torch that he had prepared beforehand.
then.
He puffed out his cheeks.
The muscles in his cheeks were taut, like a fully drawn bowstring.
He blew hard into the torch, and the airflow swept out like a whirlwind. In an instant, a flame carrying a strong smell of alcohol shot out from his mouth.
The flames, like an ancient dragon awakened, exuded boundless majesty and power, turning everything around them orange-red, as if the entire world was enveloped by these blazing flames!
Flames danced wildly before him, finally hurtling towards the wine jar that was still spinning in mid-air.
The moment the flames touched the wine jar, they produced a crackling sound.
All I can see is that...
The wine jar was engulfed in flames.
It instantly transformed into a giant fireball, illuminating the entire kitchen.
……
boom!
There was a loud bang.
The wine jar and simmering vessel eventually returned to the charcoal stove.
At this moment, the entire kitchen was completely silent, and both Managi Nakiri and Anne were utterly dumbfounded.
Over the years, Nakiri Managi has traveled all over the world, tasted countless delicacies, participated in various high-end food seminars, and has a thorough understanding of various cooking techniques and ingredient pairings!
you could put it that way.
In the entire culinary world.
Nakiri Managi believes that there are few dishes in the world that can make her feel novel and amazed.
however.
Today I witnessed Lin Xu making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
It truly broadened her horizons!
After all, in her past understanding, making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish required both a rich variety of ingredients and precise control of the heat.
But have you ever seen such a grand and unconventional approach?
……
Looking back.
At that review meeting, Lin Xu was the one who could make the dishes shine.
Looking again at the exaggerated scene of preparing Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Nakiri Managi couldn't help but sigh:
Lin Xu!
His every performance.
They truly are silent until they make a stunning statement!
Every time he appeared in my sight, it brought unexpected surprises.
It's as if he possesses an inexhaustible treasure, ready to radiate dazzling brilliance at any moment.
"I can't wait!"
"This is a brand new Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish."
"Can it conquer my divine tongue like the glowing plum fried rice from last time?"
Managi gazed at Lin Xu intently once more and said.

fleeting.
After continuing to boil over a strong fire, it can be simmered until ready to be opened.
However, when Lin Xu slightly lifted the lotus leaf covering the wine jar, a rich and mellow aroma of wine rushed out like a bursting flood, filling the entire kitchen.
have to say.
This dish is rich but not greasy.
The aroma of the wine mingled with various other fragrances, filling the air with its sweet scent.
……
"Did it all burn dry?"
Full of anticipation, Annie couldn't resist getting closer to take a look.
However, they discovered that the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish in the wine jar had completely run out of broth.
Was the heat too high?
Or was it cooked over high heat for too long?
For some reason, Anne felt a slight sense of disappointment at this moment.
In his book "Suiyuan Shidan", Yuan Mei once said, "If you open the pot lid too often, there will be more foam and less aroma." This means that the pot must be sealed with lotus leaves and covered, and should not be opened halfway through cooking, in order to ensure the preservation of aroma and flavor!
After bringing it to a boil over a high flame, you must switch to a low flame and simmer it slowly.
Cooking temperature.
This is the key to cooking "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall".
The reason is that there are a lot of raw materials, so they need to be put into jars and simmered in batches. During the simmering process, the lids cannot be opened casually to prevent the flavor from escaping.
Therefore, whether it is cooked through or not, and whether it is just right, can only be judged by experience and hearing.
The heat was too high, and it was simmered for too long.
The food in the jar is prone to overcooking or burning.
If the cooking time is not right, the flavors will not be harmonious and will not achieve the desired rich and delicious taste.
It was obvious that Lin Xu had simmered the wine until there wasn't a single drop of broth left in the jar, which definitely meant that the dish was a failure due to improper control of the heat.
"Lin Xu".
How could you make such a basic mistake?
Finally, Annie could only stomp her feet in anger, roll her eyes at Lin Xu, and say helplessly.
……
"A basic mistake?"
"I don't want to hear such an evaluation from you, a first-class executive officer!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xu simply shrugged.
"Ok?"
Annie was taken aback.
"Look closely, this is what makes the magic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish so unique."
After saying that, Lin Xu's gaze sharpened, and he slowly poured the pure white konjac powder into the simple earthenware bowl, followed by an appropriate amount of flour.
Reach out.
Insert your fingertips into the powdery mixture.
Gently knead, and warm water slowly flows in like a lively stream.
Gradually, the konjac powder and flour begin to blend together under the influence of water, and eventually clump together to form a soft and elastic dough.
Next, place the dough on a cutting board and cut it into dozens of identical small dough balls with a knife!
At last.
