。

"Mussels?" Akane Kubo muttered as she watched the TV.

Mussels, in fact, are dried products of mussels, and the taste is delicious, and the use of mussels fundamentally ensures the freshness of the whole dish.

"It should be a thick soup, right?" Absolon leaned over at some point.

"Why are you here?" Catherine squinted at Absolon.

"I'm a good brother and of course I'm going to come and watch it. Zheng Ke's choice of thick soup is actually understandable, with his level, it is estimated that he will not be able to make seafood soup of my level, haha......" Absolon closed his mouth with one hand, his eyes slanted to look elsewhere, and his face showed an expression of underbeating.

Catherine crossed her arms around her chest, "I remember that your seafood soup also lost to Zheng Ke." ”

The laughter stopped abruptly, and Absolon coughed dryly twice, "Ahem, Senior Takasugi looks like he's making Japanese-style soup." ”

"Do you still need to say, a discerning person should be able to see it easily. Catherine said with her arms folded over her chest and a depressed face.

Absolon touched his nose and sat awkwardly, his eyes fixed on the big screen.

The main ingredient used by Takasugi Shouji is real sea bream, and, it seems, his main focus is also on the fish head. After he cuts off the head of the sea bream, he holds the head upright, holds the tip of the kitchen knife in his hand, holds the open mouth of the sea bream, fixes the head with his hand, and stabs the fish into the mouth of the fish with a kitchen knife along the midline, cutting the head of the fish.

Then, Takasugi took one of the fish heads, cut the pectoral fins, chin, and the lower part of the fish's eyes, then picked up the kitchen knife, pressed it under the fish's eyes, and slapped the back of the knife with his hand, and the fish's eyes and the bottom were cut in half by the kitchen knife, and finally, he used the kitchen knife to remove the gill covers.

Catherine watched intently at the way Shouji Takasugi handled the fish head.

It's not that there is no fish head soup in French cuisine, but it's just that it's as meticulous as Takasugi Shouji's, but it's very rare. Thus, Catherine's interest was also raised.

After the fish head is treated, the spine is processed.

Takasugi spines are cut into small pieces, put into a soup bowl with pectoral fins, jaws, and sliced heads, and salted.

"It's an uncommon approach. Catherine watched the game and memorized the method of handling the fish head in Takasugi.

Outside the villa, since Zheng Ke and Takasugi Shouji started cooking separately, it has become less noisy.

Many people watched the big screen intently, and every step of Zheng Ke and Takasugi Shouji caused heated discussions among the audience.

"You say, can this young man win the fat man?" a middle-aged man sat on a recliner with a big belly, holding sunglasses in his hand, and looked nervously at the big screen.

"Uncle, I don't think you pay much attention to the cooking competition. The young man next to him laughed, "When this young man was in the Kanagawa competition area, he could be described as devastating, and none of the people in Kanagawa participated in the competition." ”

"However, this is a national race, and it is not comparable to the Kanagawa region. The middle-aged man shook his head, his face worried.

"That's fine. Now it's the top six, how can a chef who can come this far have a low level? Therefore, Zheng Ke's cooking skills are also very good. The young man patted his chest and said, "Look, Zheng Ke has started to boil the soup again." ”

The middle-aged man raised his head again and looked at the big screen.

Zheng Ke took out the mussels, removed the black shells, took out the shells inside, put them in a small bowl on the side, and took out the fresh cream and saffron on the small cart and poured them into the pot to boil.

Next...... All you have to do is the sauce.

Cake flour, butter, egg yolks, and fresh milk are stirred together, and the viscous liquid sticks tightly to the flour, even thicker than the batter.

"What the hell is Zheng Ke doing?" Akane Kubo Tao hugged the puppet in her arms tightly, and her teeth bit the puppet's ears.

Absolon frowned, and looked at Zheng Ke on the big screen in confusion, "Can you use it so trouble......some?"

"Because the opponent is strong...... Brother, now do you know why Zheng Ke didn't use fresh soup? That kind of taste is not what he wants...... The cooking he has to do is that no matter who the opponent is, he must have the strength to fight. ”

Catherine's face was tense, and no one present knew how much effort Zheng Ke had put into this dish.

The heart of God, coupled with Zheng Ke's accomplishments in cooking, Orens's teachings, and Catherine's tasting. I worked hard for hours every day just for this dish.

"What about you? This dish of his, in front of you, also has the power to fight?" Absolon asked rhetorically.

Catherine was silent for half a minute before she said slowly, "Yes." Absolutely. ”

Attracted by Zheng Ke, it was not only Absolun, but Katagiri Yang, who was playing with his mobile phone, also raised his head and looked at Zheng Ke who was cooking, frowning slightly. Standing at the door, Takami An, who was observing this game, licked his tongue and meditated in his heart, will he be the next opponent?

The TV cuts to Takasugi again, pouring the marinated backbone, jaw, and chopped fish head into a pot of boiling water, boiling the fish bones over high heat, and at the same time, constantly adding cold water to the pot.

"Wait, that black-colored item in the pot looks like a thermometer, right?" asked Momo Akane Kubo curiously.

After Momo Akane Kubo's reminder, Catherine also focused on the thermometer in the pot.

A chef of Takasugi Shouji's level has a relatively good control of the heat, and even if there is no thermometer, with his control of the food, the taste will not be much worse.

The reason why Takasugi uses a thermometer is for two reasons - to strive for perfection and to achieve the ultimate taste, or, in this step, to achieve a precise temperature.

Based on Catherine's understanding of the Ten Masters of the Far Moon, Takasugi Shouji should be the latter reason for doing this.

It's getting more and more interesting.

Catherine licked her lips, she really wanted to fight the two of them...... As long as you endure for a while, wait until the finals, and you will be able to face off against a master like them.

Time flies, and the game is getting more and more exciting.

The showdown in this game is far more anxious and exciting than the first one.

Whether it was inside the villa or outside the villa, the audience was silent, their eyes staring straight at the big screen, and they even forgot to eat the drinks and food in their hands.

Catherine also felt a little pressure, and her heart began to worry.

is worthy of being a 'soup messenger', Zheng Ke's thick soup won't be able to settle Takasugi Shouji, right?

Zheng Ke's thick soup, in Catherine's opinion, is already very good, and if you make up for the most obvious shortcoming, it will be almost perfect. So......

Zheng Ke, I believe in you.

Catherine closed her eyes tightly and kept praying for Zheng Ke.

At this moment, a voice came from the screen, "Judge, my soup is ready." ”

Catherine's attention shifted to the big screen, and Zheng Ke, who was sweating profusely, raised her hand.
