Chapter 277: Chazuke (I)
"Who else is coming? Hurry up! I won't close the stall today!" shouted Five-Eyed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a moment of silence, the hall resounded with the sound of discussion, and in an instant it turned into a vegetable market.
"Yamazaki-kun, didn't you sign up?" said a thin man to his companion.
"I ...... I'm not going. The man named Yamazaki squeaked: "I learned to make sashimi, but I don't have the confidence that I can beat Liu Mang in knife skills." ”
"Kameda-kun, haven't you learned how to make sushi for many years? Why don't you take on the challenge and get back the secret recipe for 'clear juice'. Yamazaki asked rhetorically.
"Hehe, just wait. No hurry, no hurry!" Kameda laughed dryly, and shrank back vigorously.
"What should I do? I didn't expect Liu Mang's sword technique to be so powerful that even Shi Gu Heng admitted defeat?"
"Hey, this is terrible, it seems that it is difficult to get back the secret recipe of Wuye Shaoou's 'clear juice'. One challenger sighed.
Unless those reclusive culinary masters come out, it will be difficult to defeat this Chinese culinary god." ”
"Do you just watch it like this? Let the Chinese wantonly trample on the dignity of our Dongying chefs?"
"Then what do you say? Didn't you see the sword skills that Liu Mang showed just now? Can you beat him?"
"Isn't it good to have knife skills, and can't you do anything else? Cooking is not only knife skills? This Chinese can't be proficient in everything, right?"
"Well, I'd better take a look first. ”
"Boss, the situation is not good!" Wuyan pulled Liu Mang's sleeve: "Was it too forced just now, making these Dongying people afraid?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as the secret recipe of 'clear juice' is in my hands, it will be an irresistible temptation for these Dongying people. Liu Mang smiled: "That's fine, lest some cats and dogs want to come up and challenge, then I'm really tired." ”
"Well, that makes sense. ”
"By the way, when you signed up for the challenger just now, did you find anything good?"
"Good stuff? Wuyan shook his head: "It's all some so-called family secret recipes and techniques researched by myself, many of which are rotten things on the streets of China, and you definitely won't take a fancy to them." ”
"Oh, well, that's all for today. Liu Mang thought for a while and said.
Just as Five Eyes was about to announce the end of today's challenge, a voice came from the other side of the hall: "Liu Mang!
Liu Mang took a closer look and found that it was the young man with a white handkerchief tied to his head at the beginning, holding a large wooden box in his arms, squeezing through the crowd and walking over.
"Why are you here again?" "No bets will be accepted!"
"I have! Who says I don't?" the young man opened the wooden box he had brought, and inside was a small vase: "This is the bet I just got home with me!"
"What the hell? It's not a thrift store, we only accept things related to cooking. Five-eyes glanced into the box and said.
"Show me. Liu Mang found that this vase seems to be some years old, is it an antique?
If it was an antique, he wouldn't mind it. The price of ancient Chinese porcelain, Liu Mang still has a little knowledge, and it is often tens of millions of steps. If you have money, you don't make money?
But when Liu Mang took a look at the vase in the young man's hand, he was disappointed.
Although he can't distinguish the authenticity of antiques, he is literate, and the bottom of the vase marks the age of manufacture, which is something from the Republic of China. Naturally, the price is not much higher.
"Well, this vase is too low in value compared to the 'clear juice' secret ingredient, so you can keep it for yourself. Liu Mang handed the vase back to the young man and said.
"Alright, that's all for today's challenge, please hurry up early tomorrow! Let's go home and think about it again, and see what can be used as a bet!"
"Why not!" Seeing Liu Mang's rejection, the young man shouted: "This vase is my grandfather's trophy, and it is also your Chinese's thing, don't you want to take it back?"
"What? you say it again?" Liu Mang, who was walking towards the elevator, turned his head.
"I said this vase is something for you Chinese. ”
"No!" ”
"It's my grandfather's trophy. ”
"When did your grandfather go to China?"
"This ......," the young man squeaked, "it's World War II." ”
"Oh......" Liu Mang nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I'll accept your challenge!
"Boss, isn't this vase worthless?" said Five-Eyed in surprise.
"It's worthless, but I'm gambling on it, even if his grandfather snatched a urinal from China back then, I will take it back!"
Seeing that Liu Mang agreed, the other challengers in the hall became excited again.
Before seeing Liu Mang's knife technique, many people still had the mentality of wanting to take the lead, for fear of being preempted.
But now they are all starting to retreat, hoping that others will go first, so that they can learn a lesson and analyze Liu Mang's weaknesses.
"What do you want to compare? Is it a challenge to cook skills, or is it just a competition of dishes?" asked Liu Mang.
"I want to compete with you in 'tea stains'!" said the young man, with a stiff neck.
"Tea stains, what is that?" After listening to Jiro Ida's translation next to him, Goyan asked curiously.
"Tea stains are a traditional dish of Toei, and it is a dish made by brewing tea soup in cold rice and adding sour plums and various seasonings. Jiro Ida explained.
"Cut~ What did I think, it turned out to be chazuke!"
"Boss, do you want to compare with him? Now it stands to reason that the dishes are compared, as long as it has something to do with rice, or let's make egg fried rice?"
"No, chazuke can't bother me, and besides, soba rice was also transmitted to Dongying from China. Liu Mang said with a smile.
"How come I've never heard of it from China?" said Five-Eyed in surprise.
That's right, the fishermen in the south generally like to eat, "Selected Ancient Food" has recorded: Concubine Dong Xiaowan is good at cooking, indifferent, no one is good for the material of sweet and fat, every time she eats, she takes a small pot of tea, warm and taobao, which is the food custom of the ancient Nanjing people, and has it in the Six Dynasties. ”
"Tea stained rice, yes, so that you can avoid Liu Mang's terrifying sword skills!" Kameda in the crowd nodded repeatedly.
"But this dish is so simple that it's hard to perform at the level of a chef!" said the thin Yamazaki.
His reason was right, after all, the dish of tea and rice could not be more popular. Whether it's fish or meat, plums and pickled cabbage can be used as side dishes for chazuke.
"Yamazaki-kun, you're wrong! The simpler the food, the harder it is to make it well. Which restaurant did this young man come from? Kameda nodded repeatedly.
"Liu Mangjun, can you start? I'm Marui Zen from Kikuan Cuisine, please give me a lot of advice!" the young man bowed and said.
