“..... You mean, that strange smell is because of the crab paste in the crab shell?"

Hearing Eric's words, Jasmyn nodded, "If I'm not mistaken... It should be like this, otherwise with the means of this 'miracle boy', it is impossible to waste so much crab roe. ”

After hearing the words 'miracle boy', Xu Minghua snorted coldly and strode out of the back kitchen.

........

In the arena, Li Yu naturally didn't know what happened in the back kitchen of the Golden Sands Hotel, Jasmyn guessed correctly, the reason why Li Yu didn't want the crab shell was precisely because the crab paste in the crab shell would have a strange smell.

Different from the common crabs that are in estrus and have a fixed and short breeding period, dragon crabs have a strong desire for X, and they are almost free to snap, and on the earth in the previous life, dragon crabs have a nickname - Teddy in the Sea.

As mentioned before, the reproductive organs of dragon crabs are in the gills, so whether male or female, each dragon crab has a certain flavor in its gills, and the crab shell close to the gills is in contact with the gills all year round, and there is a strange smell.

Therefore, the crab paste in the shell of the dragon crab is inedible.

The main material of the drum board dragon crab is dragon crab and shrimp, and the auxiliary material is such as flour starch and other thick materials, Li Yu first slaughtered the dragon crab and took the turtle, scalded it with boiling water for a minute, and then took its front section, patted the sting shell with a knife, and removed the crab meat, leaving only the end shell of the sting shell and the fan bone in the egg.

Then he chops the shrimp into puree, adds egg white, cooking wine, salt, stirs in the same direction, stirs until it becomes shrimp gelatin, and then mixes the shrimp gelatin with the crab meat, and then puts it on the fan bone to make the shape of a drum board.

In this way, the main shape of the drum board dragon crab is done.

Then Li Yu put the shrimp and crab drum board on the plate, steamed it in the steamer for a few minutes, after the cage was opened, a fresh smell of seafood came from the surface, smelling this umami, Li Yu nodded secretly, he handled the crab meat perfectly, and there was no peculiar smell on the crab gills.

Then, he heated the wok over medium heat, burned the peanut oil until it was seven ripe, lifted it away from the fire, held the end of the stinger, dipped it in crispy pulp, put it into the oil vertically one by one, and then put the pot back on the stove, fried it until it was light golden brown and crispy, and took it out.

Li Yu exhaled lightly, drained the fried shrimp and crab drum plates one by one, and arranged them in a circle in the pottery white porcelain plate.

At this point, his assessment dishes are completed.

Then he picked up the plate and walked steadily to the judging table, and Director Jin on the side quickly followed behind him.

At the same time, all kinds of equipment in the media seat were also tightly aimed at Li Yu, and the ultra-clear camera of the shark live broadcast platform adjusted the focus to the extreme, tightly locking the white porcelain plate in Li Yu's hand.

"This is a dragon crab, why are there only crab legs?"

"Didn't you see the crab meat and shrimp being spread on the crab legs together?"

"There should be five grades in this condition, right?"

"Wake up, it's still on the five grades, and in the top five grades, the chef of a four-star hotel in Xia Bucai made a mistake in judging the hot pot!"

“6666666.....”

Li Yu didn't know about these strange remarks on the Internet, and at this time he had already brought the pottery white porcelain plate containing the drum board dragon crab to the judges' seat: "This is the dish of the fourth stage of my promotion, please judge it." ”

Yang Qiguang nodded, and was about to taste it with chopsticks, but was spoken by Qian Sihai beside him.

Qian Sihai, one of the two well-known veterans in Shucheng who served as judges today, said to Yang Qiguang with a smile: "Yang Wuduan, you are the chef of Dongyuan, today is the 'master', and the old man is a 'guest' from afar, this first chopstick, why don't you let the old man do it first?"

When Yang Qiguang heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately felt a little funny inexplicably in his heart: Where do these people care about the ranking of the guest of honor, they are obviously worried that they will score high first, so that they will not be able to get off the stage later!

After all, the relationship between himself, or Dongyuan and Li Yu, is no secret in the chef world of Tree City, and in the eyes of these older generations, it is nothing more than worrying that they will score high because of their relationship with Li Yu.

If you score nine or ten points, it will inevitably affect the judgment of the other three people—just ask, if a five-stage chef scores nine points and ten points first, how can the people behind be embarrassed to score five or six points? After all, they are all mixed in the realm of Tree City.

But if it was Qian Sihai and the three of them who scored first, and the first hand came to them, if there were three low scores first, and Yang Qiguang himself scored a high score, then the pressure of public opinion would definitely be added to Yang Qiguang.

Of course, Qian Sihai and others may not have much malice towards Li Yu, they will do this, a big reason is because of the solidification of traditional thinking.

Li Yu has been very famous recently, but a considerable part of what he does is at the network level that the older generation does not have much contact with, and they don't understand what you tell them about the number of hot searches, the number of fans, and the IP conversion rate.

Judging from the thinking inertia of the older generation, the reality has no achievements, it's all nonsense!

To put it bluntly, it is the asymmetry of information.

After thinking about this, Yang Qiguang couldn't help but feel a little funny, does Li Yu's level still need to be taken care of by himself?

In the midst of his active thoughts, the three judges, including Qian Sihai, had already moved their chopsticks.

Qian Sihai gently picked up a piece of shrimp and crab drum board, the drum board was golden all over, close to his nose and sniffed it gently, there was no greasy smell of fried powder, and the crispy slurry made of flour tightly wrapped the shrimp and crab meat in the drum board, and he couldn't smell the slightest smell of seafood.

The appearance is good, Qian Sihai glanced up at Li Yu, and said silently in his heart.

Then he grabbed the end of the drum board with his chopsticks and put the drum board into his mouth.

As soon as the drum board was entered, under the slight force of the lips and teeth, the drum board "squeaked", the crispy pulp was shattered, and the unique aroma of wheat flour burst out, but Qian Sihai didn't have time to taste this aroma, and the tongue cavity was filled with another breath.

Fresh.

The fresh fragrance of Jiwei shrimp and dragon crab filled the entire tongue cavity at the moment when the crispy pulp was broken, which made Qian Sihai squint his eyes and slumped on the seat.

It took a full minute for Qian Sihai to slowly open his eyes.

He looked at the other two judges, and the three of them looked at each other for a moment, and they all found an incomparably complicated look in each other's eyes.

Sighing slightly, Qian Sihai and the three of them wrote down the final score and handed it to Director Jin, and on the other side, Yang Qiguang also wrote the score.

Director Jin walked up to the camera and opened the four notes, and the moment he saw the score, his face showed a little stunned, but he quickly adjusted.

"Qian Sihai Judge: Ten Points! Du Ziming Judge: Ten Points! Wei Shoujun Judge: Ten Points! Yang Qiguang Judge: Nine Points!"

"Li Yu Li Sanduan Jin Examination Cuisine, Drum Board Dragon Crab, Total Score 39 Points! Congratulations to Li Sanduan, Chong Duan succeeded!"
