CH.165 Saito's Tuna
Tuna, also known as tuna (wei), is delicious and has an excellent taste because the muscle contains myoglobin and the flesh is red. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although there are many types of tuna, the price of tuna is generally high, which is of course related to its taste, but more importantly because of its own characteristics, such as relying on seawater to pass through the gills before it can breathe, and it takes non-stop swimming to survive, and it does not cost money to find such a large fishing ground. At the same time, the cost of artificially cultivating tuna is ridiculously high.
Therefore, generally speaking, the price of tuna is much higher than that of ordinary ingredients, among which bluefin tuna is the most precious.
The tuna chosen by Saito is not bluefin tuna, but bigeye tuna, which is about 1.5 meters long and should weigh 1120 kilograms.
"This Saito Shoaki actually took out the tuna in the first game, isn't it too exaggerated?" Kobayashi Gentian said in surprise, "Division, you are safe now, at least in the match with Saito Shoaki, you don't have to worry about him using tuna." ”
"You're too optimistic, aren't you?" Si Yingshi smiled a little reluctantly, "The default is that you can't reuse the same dish in the competition, not the same ingredient. I guess a tuna of this size can last for several days, right?"
Si Yingshi had even imagined that in the next few days of competition, the smell of tuna would waft throughout the venue.
"Eh......" Kobayashi Gentian blinked, as if what Si Yingshi said made a little sense, "I want to support Zheng Ke and quickly eliminate Saito Zongming." ”
The other people have a black line, and Kobayashi's attitude has changed too quickly, right?
At this time, the door was suddenly opened, and Ji Zhiguo Ningning pushed the door and walked in.
"Hey, Xiao Ningning, are you a little late today? Also, what's the matter with your dark eye sockets? Girl, you must rest early, otherwise, your skin will become very bad." ”
Ji Zhiguo Ningning smiled awkwardly, then looked up at the big screen, "Tuna?"
This one...... It can only be said that he really deserves to be the current top ten masters, and he actually got such a behemoth.
Zheng Ke's situation is really very difficult. Want to rely on conch and shellfish to fight tuna...... It's not a grade of ingredients at all, okay?
Ji Zhiguo Ningning's eyes were aimed at Zheng Ke again, but he found that Zheng Ke brought up a large basin of water, which was filled with an ingredient that looked like a human ear, and a layer of calcareous shells on the outside, and a yellow-white soft body on the inside of the shell.
"Abalone?"
Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning is no stranger to this kind of ingredient, and when he was in the promotion exam, Zheng Ke relied on this ingredient to get the first place in the promotion exam among all the students of Yuanyue School Park.
In such a crucial qualifying match, Zheng Ke once again sacrificed this ingredient, which is known as the soft gold of the ocean.
"The materials prepared by Zheng Ke don't stop there. Ye Qiuling coughed lightly, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and a light smile appeared on her face.
The rest of the people were stunned, and when they looked at the big screen, Zheng Ke brought a large basin of water to the operating table, and the water was full of slender ingredients, and the distance between each section was not long, only about a dozen centimeters.
"Bamboo?" Akane Kubo Momo was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook her head again, "This is ...... It seems to be ......"
She seemed to have seen this ingredient in her memory, but she couldn't remember it at all for a while.
"This is a bamboo clam (cheng) ......" I Zhaoji frowned for a long time, I didn't expect Zheng Ke to think of this kind of ingredient, it seems that he really came prepared.
Bamboo clams are bivalve mollusks with an elongated body and a yellowish-brown body color, which is roughly similar to bamboo. It is delicious and has an excellent texture, and it is also the best of the sea's ingredients.
"This Zheng Ke, what conch, fresh shellfish, all useless!" Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning clenched his fists, feeling as if he had been deceived.
In fact, Zheng Ke was also very helpless, first of all, because of the urgency of time, he had no time to prepare these two ingredients, and the materials used in the competition were prepared by Ye Qiuling. Secondly, like razor clams, there should be a long time to spit sand before cooking. Therefore, even if Zheng Ke got the food, he couldn't use it immediately.
The audience, who was already enthusiastic, was once again ignited by the ingredients of Zheng Ke and Saito Zongming.
"Fortunately, I came here after a full meal, otherwise by the time the judges tried the food, they would have been very hungry. ”
"I'm hungry now. ”
"Tuna on one side and abalone on the other, these two delicious ingredients, if you don't get hungry, you can only have a ghost?"
"Don't talk about it, look, Saito has decided to deal with tuna. One student pointed to the big screen and shouted.
When the others looked at the big screen again, they had already seen Saito's long knife stabbed into the fish.
Unlike other fish, tuna is so large that the tuna is usually divided into four parts along the backbone, two of which are in the abdomen and two in the back.
The cutting of the fish steak, which would have taken two or three people to complete, was done by Saito Shimiaki alone. At great speed, he ran back and forth on both sides of the tuna, and the tuna was immediately divided into two parts.
"That's amazing...... This arm strength should be more powerful than most people, right?"
"No, no, no, the main thing is the kitchen knife, such a sharp knife, cutting tuna, just like cutting a radish, effortlessly!"
The spectators in the stands shouted, and then, they felt only a flash of light in front of them, and Saito's long knife stabbed into the tuna's body from top to bottom.
"Chef Dojima, what do you think Saito-san would have chosen's ingredients?" said Nagi Soei, looking at Saito with interest.
"The one facing up. Dojima Gingami was smiling.
From the handling of the ingredients just now, it can be seen that Saito has strong confidence in his arm strength and knife skills, otherwise, it would not be possible to process the fish steak so quickly.
From the current point of view, it is likely that Saito's cuisine is sashimi. Delicious tuna and superb knife work...... Mr. Dojima felt that the balance of victory seemed to be tilting in favor of Saito.
"Alas, the taste above is more delicious than the taste below, and if he wants to win this game, he will definitely choose the upper half of the ......" Nagi Sowei replied with some dissatisfaction with Dojima Gin.
Normally, the meat quality should be exactly the same on both sides, but because it takes a long time to get to the market after harvesting, it is easy to break the meat quality of the tuna pressed underneath in the process. So, in most cases, the meat quality of the fish on the top side is better than on the bottom side.
But which piece of fish would he choose? Nagi Zong Wei was quite interested.
"I guess...... It should be frost. Dojima Silver touched his chin as if thoughtful.
