"Uh, no!" The old man in the kimono was stunned: "It's Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List". Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"No, it's not. Five Eyes was a little disappointed.

"I'll take a look at it. Liu Mang on the side said.

"Okay. The old man in the kimono nodded, took out a book with a somewhat torn cover from his bag and handed it to Liu Mang.

"Suiyuan Food List" is written by the famous Qing Dynasty writer Yuan Mei. He is also an experienced foodie.

The book systematically discusses the various characteristics of northern and southern Chinese cuisine, and has even been translated into many languages and spread at home and abroad.

"Well, that's right, it's the original version of the Qing Dynasty," Liu Mang took a cursory look. Although the content of this book is well known in the Chinese culinary world, it is still very collectible.

"No problem. You can use it as a bet. Liu Mang nodded and handed the book back to the old man: "What do you want to start the competition?"

The reason why he agreed to use this book as a lottery head, in addition to Liu Mang's liking of this book, is that he wants to release a signal to let the people in the hall understand what he really wants.

"At any time!" The old man in kimono unloaded a wooden box from his back and paused heavily on the ground: "Kansai Ishitani Heng, please advise!"

As soon as the name of Ishitani Heng was spoken, an exclamation immediately sounded in the hall.

"Isn't he retired for years?"

"Tsuneko Ishitani is a representative of the Kansai cuisine genre, and with him, it's really hard to predict the outcome or defeat. ”

"That's right! Back then, he could have competed with Master Huaishu for the title of Dongying Chef God, but now what kind of height has he reached? It's really exciting!"

"It's over! I knew that Ishigu Heng would be coming, we should have signed up earlier!" many people secretly regretted.

"Mr. Jiro, is Ishitani Heng famous?" Liu Mang asked softly to Jiro Ida next to him.

"Well, it's very famous, as early as twenty years ago, he and his father competed for the position of the god of cooking, and after defeating, he handed over the shop to his eldest son to take care of, and he lived in seclusion, I really didn't expect to come today. Jiro Ida explained.

"Oh......" Liu Mang stepped forward: "Old man, what do you want to compare?"

"I've heard that Chinese cuisine has the heaviest knife skills and heat!So I'm only going to try one thing with you today!" Ishitani Heng 'clicked' to open the lid of the wooden box, revealing the long and short knives inside: "Knife technique!"

"Is it only a knife technique?" Liu Mang's eyes narrowed: "Then how do you judge? When I used to compete with people, I went to the street to randomly invite passers-by back and voted without knowing it, do you think this method is okay?"

"There's no need to be so troublesome, the knife technique is very intuitive, I'll do it again, you follow it once, if you do it better, then even if you win, if you don't do it, you lose, what do you think?"

"No problem! That's fair!" Liu Mang nodded and agreed.

It seems that this Ishiya Heng, like Ida Huaishu, is a very arrogant and stubborn person, and he shouldn't be reluctant.

"Master, please!" Liu Mang bowed slightly.

With his hands behind his back, Ishitani Heng came to the aquarium on the side of the hall and fished out a sweet sea bream from it with a net pocket.

Sweet sea bream is a horsehead fish, which is also called a tilehead fish because of its slightly square shape.

It is regarded as a high-class fish in Toei, and its most important feature is its delicate and soft flesh, which is light, soft and elastic, and the flesh of the mountain bream is snow-white and translucent, which is most suitable for sashimi.

Ishitani took out a shiny slicing knife from his wooden box, then wrapped the fish in a white cotton cloth and began to cook.

"Quick! so fast!" As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was one. As the quick knife in Shi Gu Heng's hand quickly cut through the fish, there were bursts of cheers in the hall.

"Boss, how's it going?, is it easy to get it done?" asked Wuyan as he leaned over to Liu Mang's side.

"How can you see the final product if you haven't seen it?" Liu Mang shook his head: "Just looking at Shi Gu Heng's current technique, he is not worse than Master Huaishu. ”

"Oh......" Five-Eyes shrugged and smiled, "Even if you compare, what? You're a that even a swallowtail dolphin would dare to challenge!"

"Come less, and then do your work!" Liu Mang glared at him: "Remember, don't take care of those little shrimps, you don't have so much time!"

"Understood! understood!" Five-Eyes craned his neck and ran back to the table, beckoning the rest of the hall to continue their calls.

Shi Gu Heng brushed a few knives, cut open the belly of the fish neatly, quickly took out the internal organs, and then used a special steel brush to scrape off the fine scales on the body of the sweet sea bream.

After rinsing, remove the head and tail, then cut the fish up and down from the spine of the fish, gently divide the fish in half, and remove the main spines, leaving only the clean meat on both sides of the fish.

Shi Gu Heng's hands are very steady, and the action of cutting the fish is also very neat, not dragging mud and water at all, not like an old man who is close to the sixtieth birthday.

Liu Mang believes that even if Shi Gu Heng is blindfolded now, he can complete the same action with the touch from his hands.

This is the result of years of experience and long hours of practice.

After the two pieces of pure meat of the sea bream were processed, Shi Gu Heng took a deep breath, took one of the net meat, leaned the fast knife in his hand diagonally against the cutting board, and then quickly cut it.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss" There was silence in the hall at this moment, and only the sound of blades slicing through the flesh of the fish could be heard.

Everyone held their breath and stared carefully at the movements of Shi Gu Heng's hands, and they didn't dare to gasp.

"Master!" Liu Mang secretly praised in his heart.

Although he couldn't see the cut fish meat for the time being, Liu Mang could feel it by virtue of the position of the knife - the fish fillet cut by Shi Gu Heng must be extremely light and thin.

"Liu Mangjun, my fish fillet is cut!" After cutting the knife from beginning to end, Shi Gu Heng gently picked up the fish body with a knife and placed the cut fish fillet in a large disc.

"Is it done?" the crowd in the hall couldn't wait to gather around and watch.

"Liu Mangjun, do you need me to show me the finished product?" Shi Guheng rubbed his slightly sour fingers, and there was a slight smug in his tone.

"Please, Master!" Liu Mang smiled slightly.

"Please turn off the lights in the hall and leave only the one above!" Ishitani said, picking up a piece of fish from his plate with his chopsticks.

Soon, the lights in the hall went out, and a specially left lamp shone down from above and shone on the fish fillet that Ishiya Heng was holding.

"Wow, that's so thin!" resounded with a series of exclamations around him.

Under the illumination of the light, the fish fillets on the tips of the chopsticks trembled slightly, flapping their wings like butterflies, and crystal clear.

"I cut a total of 246 pieces of the net meat on the side of this sweet sea bream. Hearing everyone's exclamations, Shi Guheng nodded slightly: "If Liu Mangjun can cut one more knife and the pieces are intact and not broken, then I will lose." ”

"Two hundred and forty-six pieces! Oh my God! He is a leading figure in Kansai cuisine, how did he do it?"

This sweet sea bream is only about a catty, and the net meat on both sides of the fish is more than ten centimeters long, if you want to cut out more than 200 pieces of fish meat on it, how fine this technique should be!

"China's Liu Mang will definitely lose!" Most people secretly thought in their hearts: "Because in Dongying, except for Master Huaishu, no one can do it!"
