Liu Mang, Wuyan and others hurried to the lobby of the hotel, and as soon as they left the hall, shouts began one after another. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's him, he's the Great Demon King!"

"I didn't expect the Great Demon King to be so young! It was a young girl who said this.

"Chinese Chef God, I want to challenge you!"

"The clear juice recipe is our stuff, and I want to win it back. "It's more about this sound.

Liu Mang didn't bother to pay attention, he separated the group and walked towards the center of the hall. In the center of the hall was an old man with a white beard and a grim face waiting for him.

"Hello, I'm Liu Mang. Liu Mang walked over and stretched out his hand.

"Are you Liu Mang?" The white-haired old man's face was obviously surprised: "I didn't expect you to be so young!"

"Old man, do you have the "Jinling Recipe" in your hand?" Liu Mang was not polite, and asked straight to the point.

"Well, there is. The white-haired old man nodded: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Kumamoto Akagi, and I am the descendant of the current Sandaomu." ”

"Hey, Chinese, do you really have the secret recipe of Takeno Shaoou's 'clear juice'?" asked a flat-headed young man beside Kumamoto Akagi.

"Of course, the secret recipe of 'clear juice' in my hand has been verified by Master Huaishu. ”

"Well, Huaishu's character can be trusted, and if he says it's true, he won't be wrong. Kumamoto Akagi nodded, and took out a page of paper from his chest: "Liu Mangjun, take a look." If it's something you want, will you accept my challenge?"

Liu Mang took the paper handed over by Kumamoto Akagi, this chapter should be a long time ago, but it is still well preserved, and it is specially coated with a protective plastic film.

"Yes, it's what I want. The moment he started, Liu Mang asked Xiaobao in the space to prove the authenticity of this page of "Jinling Recipes".

"I accept your challenge, what do you want to compare?" Liu Mang handed back the recipe and said.

"The recipe for 'clear juice' was left by Takeno Shaoou, who is the ancestor of our faction, and if you want to compare, of course, it is better than kaiseki cuisine. ”

"Kaiseki? Unfortunately, I won't. Don't forget, I'm just a Chinese and haven't studied Toei cuisine systematically. Liu Mang thought for a while, and then said: "I can't promise you this bet because it's not fair." If I ask for Chinese food, can you say yes?"

Liu Mang is not a fool, and kaiseki cuisine is no simpler than sushi and noodles. It is a general term for the highest level of cuisine in Dongying, which includes various techniques such as grilling, boiling, deep-frying, etc., a bit like the Manchu and Han banquets and Jinling banquets in China.

The word kaiseki comes from Zen Taoism, in order to be able to resist hunger in listening to Zen for a long time, the monks of Dongying in ancient times put a stone on their stomachs. Later, there were refreshments for the Zen monks, and then there was the most famous kaiseki cuisine.

Kaiseki cuisine is limited to seasonal ingredients throughout the year, and while emphasizing the sense of the season, we make the most of the color, aroma, and flavor of the ingredients, and never waste even a single piece of it.

It's okay to ask Liu Mang to cook a dish alone, but if he wants to make a table and make a sense of ritual of kaiseki cuisine, then he can't do it.

And this has nothing to do with the level of personal cooking skills, just like a master who has been specializing in Chinese painting for many years, it is a reason to ask him to temporarily change his career to oil painting.

"No... No... No..."Kumamoto Akagi waved his hand repeatedly: "Of course I won't be strong." I've heard that there are many famous feasts in China, and there are even many vegetarian meals that also originate in temples and are exclusively enjoyed by monks. Liu Mangjun can cook Chinese food in the competition and compete with my kaiseki cuisine. ”

"That's ......" Liu Mang touched his nose and pondered.

Kumamoto Akagi is right, China's Nanshan vegetarian food, as well as some temple dishes, are known for their light and elegant taste, and have a deep meaning and Zen in them, which is similar to the kaiseki cuisine of Toei.

"It's not impossible. It's just that I'm curious, how to judge the superior?" asked Liu Mang.

"We can ask passers-by to judge, as we did in the last few games. Kumamoto Akagi said.

"No!" Liu Mang refused: "This is very unfair." ”

What are you kidding, now you don't just cook one dish, according to kaiseki cuisine standards, at least three dishes and one sauce. As a result, the difficulty of the dishes has suddenly increased by several levels.

In addition, the passers-by invited are all from Dongying, and there is still a big difference between Chinese food and Dongying cuisine, and you can taste the difference in one bite. Therefore, it is difficult to guarantee that these people, after tasting the dishes, will be biased towards their own people.

"Then Liu Mangjun, is there any good way?" asked Kumamoto Akagi.

"This ......" Liu Mang thought about it, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

This is the biggest disadvantage of cooking, which is why it has never been able to rise to the level of art like painting, sculpture and calligraphy, even though it also requires strong skills.

The difficulty of adjusting the mouth is secondary, the key is the taste, which can only be felt by the person concerned. It's not intuitive and can't be displayed directly in front of the audience.

When Liu Mang was in a dilemma, a voice came from the side of the hall: "Liu Mangjun, I have a way." ”

"Master Huaishu, you're here. Liu Mang looked up and found that Ida Huaishu was leading some people over.

"Hello, Mr. Huaishu. Kumamoto Akagi bowed slightly.

"Kumamoto-kun, long time no see. When I met you, you were a young man, and in a blink of an eye, you have become an old man. Ida said with a smile.

"When my father and my husband were drinking together, I listened to him talk about cooking, so I decided to devote myself to it. ”

"Old man, old man!" Ida Huaishu smiled and waved his hand: "It seems that you have encountered a problem?"

"Yes, we don't know how to find a fair way to fight. Kumamoto Akagi said.

"Quite simply, you can use the judges' vote to decide the winner. Ida said.

"How do the judges vote? I've thought about it, but it's hard to find the right judges. Liu Mang smiled bitterly.

This method is not impossible, but the judges invited must not only have a certain appreciation of the food, but more importantly, they must not be biased and judge the dishes fairly.

This is too difficult, at least neither the Dongying nor the Chinese will agree, because it is difficult to guarantee that they will favor their own country's side.

"Let me introduce you to Mr. John, who has just come to Dongying for a visit. Ida Huaishu turned sideways and pointed to a tall Caucasian figure behind him.

"Mr. John and several of his companions are from several countries in Europe, they are judges of the last World Chef Competition, and they are all well-known gourmets. ”

"Judge of the World Chef God Competition, a well-known gourmet?" Liu Mang's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this.
