Chapter 2018: The Contest of Taste (I)

"How is it? Liu Mangjun, do you dare to fight?" said Harano Kosuke. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"May I ask you, master, what do you want to compare? Is it a separate competition of dishes or a banquet?"

"Neither!" Kosuke Harano shook his head, "I want to compete with you!"

"Taste?" Liu Mang wondered: "A chef's sense of taste is the key to determining the quality of a dish." ”

"That's right, but I just want to compete with you today, and I don't need to cook. ”

"A simple taste competition, how can this be compared?" Not only Liu Mang, but the other people in the hall were also puzzled.

"It's simple. Kosuke Harano walked to the area where the spices were placed in the hall with the help of the middle-aged man next to him, using his crutches and crutches.

"There's a lot of spices here, so we pick a few people in the hall and ask them to pick out a variety of spices to mix together and start tasting. Whoever tastes the most wins. ”

"Yes. Liu Mang nodded: "But after we taste it, how do we know what they picked out?"

"It's easy, every time they pick a condiment, they write the name of the condiment on a piece of paper and seal it. After the two of us have tasted it, we will find out the answer. However, in order to prevent blindness, if you say something that is not on the paper, you should deduct the same. ”

Jiro Ida translated Kosuke Harano's words, and Liu Mang listened to it and thought about it.

"Boss, do you really want to compare like this? This old man came prepared at first glance and deliberately set you up. Five Eyes said.

"Mr. Jiro, does this Kosuke Harano have a strong sense of taste?" Liu Mang thought for a moment and asked.

"Very powerful!" Jiro Ida nodded: "Kosuke Harano was praised by the Toei cuisine industry as the person whose sense of taste was closest to God back then, and even Toei scientists invited him to do experiments and found that his taste sensitivity was one to two times that of ordinary people. ”

"Boss, forget about this one! If you lose, you won't have to play in the future!" Goyan persuaded when he heard Jiro Ida say this.

"Really? I'm getting more and more interested. Liu Mang laughed: "I also want to see what level of taste I have now. ”

"Boss, do you really want to gamble?"

"Hmm. Liu Mang nodded: "Don't forget the days when I drank bitter water in the Shaogong Mountain." ”

"Oh......" Wuyan remembered, he had not said a big bowl of various spices for Liu Mang to taste every day, just to exercise his sense of taste.

"Okay! Gamble, gamble! Lao Lu, you first identify the authenticity of the painting, don't make a mistake on it. ”

"Liu Mangjun, have you thought about it?"

"Think about it, I accept your challenge!" Liu Mang bowed slightly: "But before the challenge, I want to verify the authenticity of the painting." ”

"No problem. Kosuke Harano nodded, and the middle-aged man immediately handed the cylinder in his hand to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang handed the cylinder to Lu Yitian and advised, "Teacher Lu, take your time, don't be in a hurry." ”

Lu Yitian put on his glasses, took out a pair of white gloves and put them on, and took out the painting to look at it carefully.

Just when Lu Yitian was identifying the paintings, everyone in the hall turned their heads and ears.

"Haha, Wuye Shaoou's 'clear juice' secret recipe is really so attractive that even Master Yuan Ye has taken a shot. This time the Chinese are really going to lose. ”

"That's right, thirty years ago, Master Wilderness was the god of cooking, and his sense of taste surpassed the limits of human beings, and now after so long, I don't know how far it has been. ”

"That's right! Besides, this kind of taste competition directly bypassed Liu Mang's terrifying sword skills, and he will definitely lose this time!"

"That's not seen.,Taste is a kind of human talent.,It's going to degrade as people get older.,Kosuke Harano should be over 90 years old.,At such an age,It's definitely not as good as before!"

"I don't agree with you, it's true that the sense of taste deteriorates with age, but if you keep exercising consistently, it won't have much of an impact. ”

……

……

"No problem, this painting is indeed genuine. After a while, Lu Yitian raised his head and said.

"Then Lao Lu, how much can this painting sell?" asked Wuyan anxiously.

"Vulgar! Can art be measured by money?" Lu Yitian sighed: "Ten thousand." ”

"Oh, it's only 10 million. "It's not that I can't look down on it, but after picking up a big leak of 100 million, there is a little gap in my heart.

"Euro!" Lu Yitian glanced at him and added.

"Euros! That's going to multiply tenfold!" Five-eyed staggered, so happy that he almost fainted: "Boss, do it! If we win, we can go home!"

"You give me some peace! The fight hasn't started yet. Liu Mang raised his hand and wanted to give Wuyan a popping chestnut, but after thinking about it, he gave up. In public, let's save some face for him.

"Master, the painting is fine, when can we start?"

"Anytime. Kosuke Harano made a gesture of invitation: "The topic of the competition was thought of by me, for the sake of fairness, the person who chooses the seasoning will be decided by Liu Mangjun." ”

"Okay. Liu Mang was not polite, but he thought about it for a while and asked again: "We can't watch them choose ingredients, so that the competition is not taste, but memory." ”

"Very reasonable, so be it. Ask the staff to move all the ingredients to a separate room, and no one is allowed to enter except for the person who picks the ingredients. ”

"Well, then there will be no problem. Liu Mang nodded and walked up to the female reporter who interviewed him at the beginning: "Are you willing to help me choose the seasoning for this competition?"

"Of course I do. The female reporter said excitedly.

In addition to this female reporter, Liu Mang then randomly selected a few people in the hall.

After selecting the good people, the hotel staff has already moved all the spices from the spice rack into the banquet hall next to the hall.

A few of the selected people walked in with pen and paper, and the hotel staff immediately closed the door to the banquet hall.

"Boss, can you really sort out all the spices in it?" asked Five Eyes, a little worried.

"I don't know, just do your best. As long as it's more than Kosuke Harano. ”

After a while, the door opened, and the people who picked the spices came out, each holding a clay bowl in his hand.

"All right, everyone, fold the paper and put it in the box, and put the pottery bowl on the table. Jiro Ida made a temporary cameo appearance as the host and said.

"Master, are you or me first?" asked Liu Mang.

"There's no hurry, it's too easy. ”

After saying that, Kosuke Harano poured some water into a pot, then walked to the table, poured all the selected seasonings into the pot, and then put it on the stove to heat.

"Only the seasoning that has been heated and mixed can afford our fight!" "Looking at the hot liquid gradually coming out of the pot, Kosuke Harano nodded with satisfaction.
