Chapter 358: Slaughtering Animals
The slaughter of animals in tournaments is rare, but it is not impossible.
A few years ago, in the cooking competition between Huaxia and Neon, the chef was asked to slaughter the crocodile on the spot, and the scene was very intense, and some chefs were even injured as a result.
Slaughtering livestock, if traced back to its roots, was indeed the work of the chef at the earliest, and then gradually developed into the slaughtering industry. But as a chef, it's important to know about slaughter.
Moreover, the higher the level of the chef, the more attention they tend to pay to the slaughter, and many times they do it themselves. Through slaughter, chefs can learn about the characteristics and qualities of the meat in order to improve their cooking skills.
The organizer considered that the slaughter was too bloody, so the little yellow cow was led to the stage and turned around, and then led it down. The contestants followed behind and went backstage to slaughter the animals with their own hands.
This link is not broadcast live to the public, and the specific slaughter situation will be assessed by the judges throughout the process and will be included in the total score.
The TV screen was still, but the screams of the calves could be heard from time to time in the background.
Yan Cuishan frowned, a little worried about the performance of the little aunt He Xuanxuan, slaughtering requires courage and carefulness, and also requires enough strength and skills, He Xuanxuan is a woman, if no one helps, slaughtering animals alone, the difficulty can be imagined.
In contrast, Lu Hong is tall and strong, so he will have an advantage in this regard. Thinking of this, Yan Cuishan was even more worried about his 60-year-old wine.
Mo Fei was also a little worried, afraid that the cow would go crazy and hurt He Xuanxuan. In fact, in his opinion, it is nothing to lose in this round, he has completed the set goal, and he hopes from the bottom of his heart that Xuan Xuan will not work too hard.
Hearing this scream, Chen Qiling had palpitations, covered his chest and said, "Fortunately, I withdrew from the competition, and I can't slaughter live cattle." ”
Li Qinghua heard this and said lightly: "You are still young, and you must not have received a systematic education in a food college. Slaughtering is a compulsory subject, and in some countries, the subject is asked to go into the forest to hunt, and the game is rated according to the rarity and quantity of the prey they have caught. ”
Chen Yansheng continued: "That's right! The purpose of slaughtering animals is to make the chef more aware of the food he is cooking. ”
At this time, the backstage of the game site was already bleeding.
The small cattle selected by the organizers are only 6 months old, and they are still relatively immature and have little strength, so they are relatively easy to slaughter. Moreover, the staff tied them to the pillars in advance to facilitate the slaughter of the contestants.
But apparently, some of the contestants had never dealt with an animal as big as a cow at all, and they were at a loss for a while, and they were either anxious or stunned with knives.
Some players retreated, not daring to come forward for slaughter.
These contestants are mainly from Huaxia Academy of Gastronomy, and they have learned a lot of theory, but there are still too few courses for real practice.
Tu Su from the Huaxia Academy of Gastronomy was an exception, he chose a thick-backed long knife and slashed directly at the neck of the little scalper.
With a knife down, the blade entered the neck of the little scalper, but it was not cut, and blood flowed out. The scalper was in pain, struggling frantically, constantly swinging the cow's head, and Tu Su was not good at cutting for a while.
Lu Hong picked up a sharp short knife, and without the slightest hesitation, ran directly to her little scalper. The little scalper sensed the danger and screamed miserably, and his trapped legs and feet kept kicking the ground, trying to stay away from Lu Hong, who was holding a knife.
But it was tied up after all, and it couldn't move far if it struggled. Lu Hong rushed over with an arrow, held down the little scalper, and neatly got off the knife, only to hear two "bangs", and she got up.
Looking at the little ox on the ground again, he actually stood up, first staggered, and then suddenly raised his hooves and ran out.
- Lu Hong didn't kill it, but cut the rope that trapped it!
What kind of operation is this? The judges did not react for a while.
When the calf ran away, they realized that Lu Hong wanted to release the calf, not slaughter it.
This is a violation!
Just as the referee wanted to intervene to stop it, he saw Lu Hong holding down the little scalper that Tu Su had not slaughtered, and the blade flashed, like a white practice inserted into its throat.
It just cut the trachea and arteries of the little scalper, and the blood gushed out like a spring. The little scalper struggled at first, but soon its hooves glared and it breathed.
"Boy, it won't be too painful to do this. A few drops of blood splashed on Lu Hong's face, and she looked at Tu Su with cold eyes, and Tu Su suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
Another little ox fled in a hurry, Lu Hong turned around, and saw He Xuanxuan holding a sharp blade and letting her head go.
After the two looked at each other and smiled, He Xuanxuan walked over, pointed to Tu Su's little scalper and said, "I'll help you slaughter it together, and you can pick the leftover meat and give it to me!"
There is not the slightest room for negotiation.
Tu Su realized that these two female players were wrists, and he and those self-righteous classmates were too tender.
He spread his hands and did not object, Lu Hong and He Xuanxuan lifted the little ox, hung it on the pillar, and cooperated with each other to start slaughtering.
He wanted to go up to help, but there was no place for him, and the two girls worked closely together, bleeding, skinning, breaking the abdomen, cutting meat, and being nimblelocked.
"You dispose of the cow in the water. Lu Hong threw over some smelly cow water, and he quickly packed it in a bucket and brought it to be disposed of.
Tu Su hadn't finished the sewer yet, and a small yellow cow had been dismembered by them clearly: the head and tail of the cow were in one place, the three-flower tendons of the front legs and the five-flower tendons of the hind legs were placed together, and the filet, naked eye, sirloin, and T-bones were clearly distinguished......
Before that, the referee had already run to the judges' side, and several people muttered something that they didn't know what to say, but they didn't stop their violations.
"You choose first. He Xuanxuan said to Tu Su. Lu Hong nodded on the side, signaling that she agreed to his choice first.
Tu Su thought about it, picked up the knife and cut off a piece of lean meat on the back buttocks, weighed the weight, and walked to the front desk without saying a word.
His grandmother is legged and sad, and she is not as good as the two women!
After Tu Su finished choosing, Lu Hong picked up a piece of internal organs from the bucket containing the water, and said to He Xuanxuan with a smile: "I'm done choosing." ”
He Xuanxuan nodded, and went to the cow's head, she took out the knife quickly, and after twenty or thirty seconds, she carried a plastic bag and said to Lu Hong: "I'm done with my choice, let's go, sister." ”
After the two left, there was a pile of divided meat. Several contestants who did not have the guts to slaughter looked at each other, and some people plucked up the courage to choose a few pieces from the pile of meat, and the rest followed suit.
Just because they don't have the courage to kill cattle doesn't mean that all of them don't have the courage. Seven or eight cows were slaughtered one after another, and rivers of blood flowed and wailed.
Some people slaughtered their animals for "one ladle of drink" and the cows were not dead but still screaming on the ground, while others took away large pieces of meat after slaughtering, leaving only a pile of water to go into. It's a mess in the background.
"My little aunt is back!" Yan Cuishan kept staring at the TV, saw He Xuanxuan, and shouted excitedly.
Mo Fei was also watching, He Xuanxuan was slightly panting on TV, her face was ruddy, she didn't have to think about it to know that she had put a lot of effort into it just now.
When she poured out the meat in the plastic bag, Mo Fei's expression froze, and he thought, "It's all this time, are you still challenging yourself?"
And her opponent, a student from Huaxia Academy of Gastronomy, also came out, holding a good steak, looking a little nervous and a little excited.
