Inukai Jiro's face changed greatly, he took a few steps on his knees, buried his head deep in Inukai Jingzhai's feet, and exclaimed bitterly: "Lord Jingzhai can't!

How can those chefs in the Hong Kong Food Competition be qualified to compete with adults?

My lords are the only chefs in my big island country, and they don't deserve it at all!"

"The only god chef, I'm afraid not necessarily, right?

What's more, I have only reached the realm of the Grandmaster Divine Chef in terms of knife skills, and to become a real Divine Chef, it is not just about strong knife skills. ”

Inuyang Jingzhai sighed slightly: "Besides, I went to the Xiangjiang Food Competition just for Zhou Dong, what does it have to do with those contestants?"

"My lord, but according to the format......"

Inukai Jiro also wanted to persuade again: "The organizing committee of the competition has given only 30 places to my country, but my big island country has 1 capital, 2 prefectures and 43 counties, and there are hundreds of chefs who are interested in participating in the competition.

It is for this reason that I accepted the invitation of the well to go to Huaxia Kingdom, in order to save a place.

Otherwise, I will have to compete with the chefs of my country, whether I win or lose, it will damage the glory of my big dog family.

Erlang is still like this, let alone adults?

How can those guys be qualified to let adults do it!"

The warlike nation of the island country is not like China, as long as the provincial culinary associations set the list, few people will challenge, such as the dog breed challenging Zhou Dong, I am afraid that it will only appear once in many years.

The island country decides the quota for the competition, but no culinary association recognizes this kind of thing, and it is all about 'real swords and guns' to compete.

"I've seen your resume, it's very good, so you can be my assistant......"

Inuyang Jingzhai's left foot in white cotton socks gently tapped a few times on the ground: "It's not worth my personal action to fight for the qualifying place of the island country, so it's up to you, the assistant, to solve it."

After the deed is completed, you can follow me into the flower field to learn sword skills, and if you fail, the family will consider taking back your 'Blue Moon'. ”

"Ha Yi!"

Inukai Jiro was overjoyed, this was an opportunity given to him by Lord Jingsai, representing the trust and expectation of adults.

Compared with the island country that has to fight a duel at every turn, Dahuaxia is much more harmonious, and after Inuji Erlang was taught a hard lesson, the list of Suzhou Province was basically determined, and the chef from more than a dozen star-rated hotels and Zhou Dong were reported to the organizing committee of the competition.

The chefs on this list can finally enter the preliminaries, I'm afraid it will be one or two people, Huaxia is a big land, there are many provinces, and the last chefs who can enter the qualifiers and go to Xiangjiang are about 50 people in the whole of China.

Originally, according to Zhu Yanping's idea, there are 30 places for a small island country, and Huaxia has at least 100, right?

But even though he was the first sponsor, this proposal was still rejected by the organizing committee.

After all, it is an international food competition, compared to Europe, where a country only has one or two places, and Africa, which has only three places on the entire continent, the fifty places in China are already 'astronomical', if there are more, I am afraid that it will cause criticism from other countries, and it will be said that Xiangjiang intends to favor the mainland.

Even the island nation has been reduced from 30 to 20 places in this year's competition, and it is said that the island country gastronomy council has lodged a solemn protest with the organizing committee of the competition.

Although the protest was ineffective, the culinary circles of the island countries were indignant, believing that there are 50 places in China, which is not even a national dish, and this Xiangjiang Food Competition must be manipulated by the black hands of Chinese people behind the scenes!

One of the three major sword masters in the island country, Lord Inuyang Jingzhai actually surrendered his identity to participate in this food competition this time, which is undoubtedly a powerful response to Huaxia in the eyes of the island country's chefs.

Even if you have fifty places, the gold medal must belong to Lord Jingzhai!

"Do you want to keep your dog in peace?"

Huailiangren, who was in Paris, looked up at Notre Dame Cathedral shrouded in clouds, and a smile bloomed on his lips.

"Interesting, really interesting.

How long has it been since the chef has appeared at the Hong Kong International Culinary Competition?

It's been at least 20 years.

Although Inuyo Jingzhai is not a real god chef, his knife skills are said to be miraculous, which makes him a little interested.

If you add Zhou Dong's guy, the gold medal of this Xiangjiang International Food Competition should be the highest gold content in the past, right?"

Thinking of Zhou Dong, Huai Liangren smiled even more happily.

It seems that he should be reminded, otherwise it will not be good if he accidentally loses to the guy who always likes to stay in the flower field and pretend to be X.

Unfortunately, the phone was not connected, prompting that the other party was not in the service area.

The signal is so bad? This guy didn't stay in Chudu, where did he go again?

Huai Liangren was very depressed.

The competition is about to start, and this guy doesn't say that he will make a phone call to contact him or something, but he has recommended him hard, hoping that he will become a seeded player!

A person with no conscience, how long has he been away from Chudu, and he has left his good friends behind?

Fengqi Mountain in August is not only beautiful, but also brings a full harvest to the people in the mountainous area, and before the time to buy wheat and rice, the full grains of round glutinous rice and spicy knotweed flowers are already ripe.

This is the best season to make rice wine, if it is in the south of the Yangtze River, the little daughter-in-law and mother-in-law of the family will start to get busy, first prepare the best koji, so as to brew a jar of rice wine full of love for the master.

Although you will also get drunk when you drink rice wine, it is more about tasting the taste and culture carried by the wine.

Not to mention that liquor, a distilled product, wastes food, and some simply do not use food...... The good and the bad are uneven, and the taste is more simple than that of rice wine, Zhou Dong actually doesn't like it very much.

Moreover, with the modern concept of health deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there are more and more varieties of rice wine in the alcohol consumption market, and the rice wine that really occupies a dominant position in the history of Chinese wine for 3,000 years has been revitalized again.

This time he came to Fengqi Mountain, Zhou Dong was going to get the koji done first, and at the same time asked Li Xiuchen to help stock up on some new rice, and when he returned from Xiangjiang, the matter of brewing wine would be put on the agenda.

Li Xiuchen also has the habit of brewing wine at home, and took Zhou Dong to the field early in the morning, and the ripe glutinous rice ears were heavy, swaying gently in the wind, as if he was greeting Zhou Dong, Bole.

"My fields are full of the finest pearl glutinous, Brother Zhou, if you want to make koji, you have to choose some good glutinous rice with full grains.

After all, koji is directly related to the quality of the finished sake, but it is not allowed to be sloppy.

Why don't you wait for the first crop of glutinous rice to be harvested tomorrow, and I'll help you choose?"

Li Xiuchen knew that Zhou Dong was the chef of Kyushu Ding Food, but when it came to winemaking, he always thought that Zhou Dong was still a chick, and he probably had to help.

Zhou Dong smiled slightly: "No need brother, I still want to choose by myself."

I made koji this time, and it was enough to have 20 catties of glutinous rice, but I don't know how the spicy knotweed flowers were blooming? There are also verbena, red grass, hairy grass roots, anise leaves, etc., all of which I need. ”

"Heh, Brother Zhou is an expert?

Rest assured, the spicy knotweed flowers in our Fengqi Village are a must. When the ideal life program team left, Mr. Huang also booked a lot with me, saying that he asked me to send it to Kyoto.

As for the other ingredients, they are available at home, and I have a hobby with Brother Zhou, so I like to make some wine by myself. ”

"Nacheng, I have to go to Xiangjiang tomorrow, and I have to ask my brother to help me harvest some glutinous rice and good rice, corn and wheat.

I want a lot of money, I'll write to you when I get back, and when I come back from Xiangjiang, we'll count the money together.

This is a public affair for me, and the money is not mine, brother, you don't have to be polite. ”

"Then let's do it, just listen to Brother Zhou. ”

Li Xiuchen originally wanted to be polite, but when he heard Zhou Dong say this, he didn't say anything, and was thinking about helping Zhou Dong choose the ears of rice to make koji, but he saw that Zhou Dong had already walked into the field, and while walking, he flicked the ears of rice with his hands......

"Is this how you pick glutinous rice, what is Brother Zhou doing?"

Li Xiuchen looked strange for a while.

Regardless of rice wine and liquor, the raw materials used are important, but the most important thing is koji.

The quality of koji is directly related to the quality and taste of the finished sake.

For rice wine with a rich taste and various auxiliary ingredients, koji is even more important.

To make koji, craftsmanship is one thing, and the most important thing is to choose the glutinous rice or rice used to make koji.

The round-grain glutinous rice produced in Fengqi Village is full and rich, and it is the best raw material for making koji, but when choosing, it is even more necessary to adhere to the principle of 'one slow, two looks, three waters'.

The so-called slow means that the threshing should be done by hand, and the threshing should be careful not to hurt the glutinous rice.

The so-called second look refers to the careful selection of glutinous rice for one grain, and the grain for one ear is no more than nine.

The so-called three selection of water means that water with a high mineral content is used to make koji, and mountain spring water is the best.

Zhou Dong chose the water for brewing before, and he was not too satisfied with the water of Fengqi Mountain, but if it was used to make koji, the natural spring water in Sister Valley was the most suitable.

Choosing glutinous rice is a technical job, how can there be a person like Zhou Dong?

And Li Xiuchen can see it clearly, not all the rice ears selected by Zhou Dong are the thickest, some of them even look a little shriveled and yellow, and such rice ears can produce good glutinous rice?

I wanted to remind him, but I was afraid of losing Zhou Dong's face.

I thought it would be better to forget it, and when I went back and threshed, if these glutinous rice were useless, I would help him choose again......

Zhou Dong had already seen Li Xiuchen's thoughts, but he didn't explain.

The legendary brewing skill of 'God's koji' claims to be able to make top-notch koji that is nowhere to be found in the world, but how can ordinary people know how to select the raw materials for koji-making?

The so-called one meter and one millet are the essence of the earth's power, and to put it more mysteriously, that is, the aura of heaven and earth is contained in it, otherwise how to nourish the human body?

The plump and round glutinous rice generally contains more earth essence, but it is not without exception; just as people are generally big and powerful, but Li Yuanba, who is as thin as a monkey, is the first good man in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

This glutinous rice is also the same as people, in every acre of land, there must be dozens of 'rice kings'. It may not look the most round and full, but in fact, the essence of the earth is far more than ordinary rice.

What Zhou Dong has to do is to pick out these 'rice kings' and the best quality batch of glutinous rice.

After all, it is the first time to make wine, and he doesn't want to be too shocking, otherwise he will definitely go all over Fengqi Mountain, and pick out the rice king in every acre of land to make koji, so that the wine can be called 'divine wine', and live up to his title of Chinese god of wine.

But this is also to think about it, there are a lot of glutinous rice fields in Fengqi Mountain, but other farmers will not let him go to the field to pick rice ears like Li Xiuchen.

Crops are the life of farmers, and you can't waste other people's fields like this with how much money you have, maybe you will be beaten......

Li Xiuchen squatted on the edge of the field and smoked two bags of cigarettes, and Zhou Dong picked a bunch of rice ears like a hill, clapped his hands and smiled: "It should be enough, today I will borrow the koji-making tools of my brother's family and get the koji out first." ”

Glancing at the ears of rice selected by Zhou Dong, Li Xiuchen shook his head secretly, eighty percent is not bad, and the other two percent must be the second rice in his opinion, and he couldn't help but say: "Enough is enough, but Brother Zhou, you can't pick it well, or brother, I'll help you change some?"

And these ears of rice have to be threshed by hand, but it takes a lot of effort, I'm afraid you have to work until the evening, and I'm afraid you won't be able to make koji today. You just said that you are going to Xiangjiang tomorrow to participate in some competition? It's too late. ”

"I don't need to change it, I'll definitely have no problem picking it, threshing is easy, I don't have to work until night, I can get it out today." ”

Li Xiuchen smiled, and said in his heart that you are stubborn, you have never done farm work in vain, how easy are you to threshing this koji?

Come on, let your kid toss first......

If you want to threshing by hand, you have to use threshing barrels, the Li family has used threshers all these years, that is, they are occasionally used when making wine; after Li Xiuchen found someone to pull the glutinous rice home, he beckoned his wife to prepare to get the threshing barrel out and wash it, but Zhou Dong waved his hand and said no.

"Don't you need a threshing bucket, Brother Zhou, you're not kidding, will you thresh...... What are you doing here?"

Li Xiuchen and his wife looked stupid.

I saw Zhou Dong grab the ear of rice with one hand, stuff it into the other hand, stroke it gently, then clench his fist a few times, blow it with his mouth, and the snow-white round glutinous rice appeared in his palm.

What a deal!

Li Xiuchen walked over with straight eyes and stared at Zhou Dong deadly. In just such a short period of time, the small half catty of glutinous rice has been threshed, which is like a myth.

"Are the chefs of Kyushu Ding Food so good, all of them are threshing experts?"

Li Xiuchen, who has been thrown in the field of crops for half his life, is an expert, and he doesn't even need a threshing bucket empty-handed like Zhou Dong, how strong does this hand have......?
