Chapter 79: French Cod
An hour outside, the kitchen space has actually passed for a day. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
From time to time, Masato Kamihara looked at the timer above the arena and frowned.
"He's been standing like this for an hour, hasn't he?"
Dojima glanced at the other chefs, and the other eight chefs, each at the kitchen counter, busy in full swing.
Hey.
But Dojima Silver looked closely, and only then did he find an anomaly.
There was a female chef who looked like a college graduate, put a fat cod more than 20 centimeters long and weighing three or four catties on the kitchen counter, gently placed her white hand on the belly of the fish, closed her eyes, and kept muttering something in her mouth.
The female chef also attracted the attention and discussion of the audience.
"Is it a special cooking skill?" said Dojima Gin, his eyes lingering on the female chef and Xia Yu, his eyes full of amusement.
Masato Kamihara and Ryoko Rina also looked at the female chef in amazement.
Ryoko Rina could barely read some of her lips, and as she gazed, her face gradually became full of solemnity.
She ...... It seems to be communicating with the ingredients!" Ryoko Rina exclaimed.
Communicating with ingredients?
At this moment, Masato Kamihara and Dojima Silver were not simply surprised, but showed a hint of horror in their eyes.
"Are you sure?" asked Masato Kamihara in a quiet voice.
"I'll observe!"
Ryoko Rina stared at the female chef.
Dojima Silver is not calm in his heart.
Ordinary chefs, special chefs, and then there are "Lin" chefs who are at the level of masters in various countries and even around the world.
In other words, the level of "Lin" can be regarded as a long history. It is said that it was spread in China a hundred years ago, and finally gradually established such a classification around the world. After the establishment of the IGO gastronomic institution, it just followed the old system.
Dojima Gin, Kamihara Masato and Ryoko Rina are all stuck under "Lin", and they are considered to be the top batch of special chefs.
Advancing to the rank of "Lin" chef is not easy.
One of the most basic conditions is to understand the meaning of food and be able to hear the sound of food.
And to communicate with ingredients, I'm afraid some chefs can't do it, this is already a higher level of "food righteousness", maybe it's more appropriate to call it talent.
At this time, there was already a speculation in the hearts of the three of them:
Super auditory?
The crowd suddenly made an uproar, and Dojima Silver and the others withdrew their gaze from the female chef, and found that Xia Yu, who had been standing for a full hour, had finally woken up.
And, after walking around the aquatic cart, this time Xia Yu was dazed, and caught a cod in the cold water.
The broadcast screen above the venue specially gave a long close-up of the cod in Xia Yu's arms.
"Hey, he actually picked a silver cod......"
"It's silver cod, and it's French cod caught in the waters around Antarctica, and this kind of cod is caught about 20,000 tons a year in the world...... The price in the neon seafood market is about 3,000 yen per catty!"
"Hey, it's really expensive! I'm afraid only IGO dares to supply this expensive cod without restrictions on the chef rating assessment! What's more, they're still alive!"
The audience was discussing, and there was no shortage of chefs who specialized in aquatic products.
Masato Kamihara glanced at the broadcast screen, beckoned to the female staff next to him, and when she approached, he asked in a low voice, "How many cod did you put in the aquatic truck?"
"According to the number of people, one per person, the cook picked the last one. ”
The female staff seemed to be afraid that Masato Kamihara would misunderstand, so she quickly explained: "We are still in the aquatic product truck, and we have mixed in other fish species, such as oil fish and mentai fish...... Their size and weight are carefully selected, and if you don't know much about the fish, the probability of hitting the cod is very low. ”
Waving his hand, waiting for the staff to retreat, Kamihara Masato, who breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, smiled at Dojima Silver and Ryoko Lina: "It seems that these nine people are standing on the same starting line." ”
"Running the same line?"
Dojima Gingami pointed to the timer above the arena, "There are less than 60 minutes left, are you sure he can come up with his recipe and present it at this time?"
The assessment is to test the on-the-spot response.
For two hours, the first hour, most chefs are probably working on the ingredients while thinking about the recipe in their heads.
Now Xia Yu has undoubtedly lost the opportunity to think, and the time left for him to process the ingredients and cook the dishes is very hasty. During the period, there was a slight hesitation and confusion, and the result was that he could not serve his own food within the specified time, and he was eliminated.
"As long as you don't make mistakes in the ingredients, I have confidence in him for the rest. Masato Kamihara smiled.
"This-luck guy ......"
In front of the railing of the auditorium, Erina Nagikiri gritted her teeth and watched Xia Yu hold a big fish in her arms and walk to her side.
Coincidentally, near the auditorium, there is also a vacant kitchen counter, which is also the worst position, too close to the auditorium, easy to be affected.
Bang!
Putting a large silver cod on the kitchen counter, Xia Yu was not in a hurry to deal with the cod, but turned his head and strode forward, selecting the ingredients he needed at the kitchen counter supply where the venue was full of all kinds of ingredients.
In fact, choosing ingredients is very simple for Xia Yu.
Even if he doesn't understand it, he can also accurately obtain the information and quality of ingredients with the help of systematic 'ingredient identification'.
The question is what kind of cod should be used after selecting the ingredients. This is his intention to go to the kitchen god space to make up classes temporarily.
I tried a lot of recipes in the kitchen god space, from the classic Western food of crispy cod, salted cod cake, stewed cod with mushrooms, to pan-fried, steamed, braised and crispy, the system score was not too high, so Xia Yu still decided to return to Chinese cuisine and do what he is best at. It was also his first area of expertise.
The main ingredient was cod, and there was.
The ingredients to look for next are not complicated, Xia Yu searched repeatedly on the kitchen counter full of ingredients, and finally smiled and found an inconspicuous ingredient in a small vegetable basket-
Horseshoe.
The formal scientific name of this thing is water chestnut, and it is called Black Cigu in the neon locality.
The ingredients were very small, one by one, Xia Yu took more than a dozen, turned around and went to find other ingredients.
Small whitebait, salmon roe, shredded cheese, onions, mushrooms......
In terms of seasonings, the regular kitchen counters are available, Xia Yu just took mint leaves and fresh green tea leaves, used a basket to pack all the ingredients, and took a calm step back to his kitchen counter.
"Kitchen knives?"
Glancing at the knife holder, Xia Yu shook his head, lowered his body, and pretended to rummage through the knives in the small backpack he carried, but in fact, he communicated with the inventory of the chef system and took out the [Broken Jade Knife].
Although this knife is not suitable for handling marine fresh, Xia Yu, who currently has no spare knife, has no choice.
The kitchen knives provided by IGO are very good, Japanese, Chinese, and Western, but unfortunately they are not easy to use, which seriously affects the efficiency.
In this case, the factors that are not conducive to cooking can be eliminated.
"Time is running out!"
"Race against time!"
Glancing at the number of the timer above, there were 50 minutes left, and his heart tightened slightly, Xia Yu took a breath and finally started his cooking rhythm.
