"Artifact, please!" Master Xie said in a long voice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I saw Nagi Cut's side here, Nagi Cutting Zongwei held the wooden box that had been carved finely and walked to the platform......

At this time, "Yangquan Restaurant" is closed for one day today, which is also a century-old tradition, and at this time of every ten years, it will be closed for one day, but outsiders don't know the reason.

The entire hall has been arranged into a competition venue, in addition to the super-large cooking table for both sides, there is also a small audience seat next to it, sitting Liu family, Nagi Che family, Tang, Lei, Lan, Xinhu four core clansmen.

Directly opposite the two oversized cooking tables is the long table where the five judges are located, and behind the judges' table, there is also a raised table with an incense table on it, and now Nagi Sowei has placed the wooden box on the incense table.

The moment Nagi Zong Wei opened the wooden box, Liu Pleiades felt it again, the feeling he had once perceived in "Between the Moon and the Sky"!

Really! The thing collected in "Between the Moon and the Sky" is the Yonglin Knife!

The special rhythm of the "Yonglin Knife" is used to inspire the chefs who fight fiercely in the moon and the sky, and it is also to take advantage of the cooking enthusiasm of young chefs to cultivate the "Yonglin Knife......

It sounds incredible, but as a "legendary kitchenware", it does have all kinds of special functions that cannot be explained.

No one can say exactly why these abilities exist.

Even their creator, "Xu Ling", has now left only the name of "Ancient Famous Chef", which is spread at the top of the culinary world, and even the exact age of existence is uncertain......

And now Nagi Sect Wei carefully took out the Yonglin knife from the wooden box and put it on the knife holder on the incense case......

This has been the case for every "Chef in front of the gods" for hundreds of years, symbolizing the battle for the custody of the "Yonglin Knife" under the notarization of the "Yonglin Knife" to show respect for the "legendary kitchenware".

After the Yonglin knife was arranged, Master Xie announced, "Please come forward and sign on behalf of both sides!" ”

I saw Zhao Ming, Zhao Liang, Alice, and Scarlet Sand, holding a scroll that looked very old, all of them holding one end, and unfolding it in front of Liu Pleiades and Erina......

For this link, Liu Pleiades also practiced for several days, signing his name with a brush, after all, this thing must be kept!

At this time, Liu Pleiades and Erina also saw the front part of the two sides, and there were already ten names each......

Although this scroll is obviously extended several times, and the front part looks much older, the handwriting is still clear, and it is said that the Liu family has been using nitrogen sealing to preserve this scroll.

In addition to the name, the back is also followed by capitalized Chinese characters, indicating each person's score, the overall trend is that in the first five groups, the main family is ahead, but the amplitude is getting smaller and smaller, and the last five groups are directly the main family is pressed to beat......

It can be seen that Liu Pleiades's side, all the way to himself, has a total of eleven names, all of which are surnamed Liu, and the names on Erina's side are more messy, and there are actually two names that Liu Pleiades recognizes!

One is a line above the position of Erina's signature, that is, the position of the representative of the Nagiri family ten years ago, which actually says "Kojiro Shinomiya......

Liu Pleiades counted with his fingers, it is true that Kojiro Shinomiya of the 79th class ten years ago should have just graduated a year ago, and his youth just met the limit, and as a graduate of the Yuanyue Department, if it was only a few days of competition, I believe that even if he didn't know what this competition was for, as long as Senzaemon invited him, he wouldn't care about coming back from France for a few days.

There is also the name of the person in the above row, that is, the representative of the Nagiri family twenty years ago, and it is written "Seiichiro Shochiro"!

This makes Liu Pleiades a little strange, the age of the 69th class of Caiba Ichiro does meet the age limit, but he should have dropped out of school at that time, and Dojima Silver and Nagi Thistle, who was still surnamed "Nakamura" at the time, also met the age limit......

In terms of stability, Dojima Silver is definitely more stable than Seiichiro, who will have convulsions from time to time, and in terms of intimacy, Nakamura Thistle should have been about to become the son-in-law of the Nagi family at that time......

Why Seiichiro Hiroshi Hiroshi Akiba as a representative?

Liu Pleiades feels that there may be gossip here! Unfortunately, now is not the time to seek.

At the same time, Liu Pleiades also continued to look along, and sure enough, on the scroll on Erina's side, the representative name fifty years ago was also surnamed Liu...... Liu Kuiren, this should be the Chinese name before the Nagi Sen Zoemon.

"Liu Kuiren...... Kui...... Person...... I see......" Liu Pleiades muttered quietly.

The characters of the Liu family are arranged according to the Seven Houses of the White Tiger, starting from the word "Pleiades", in which the character "Kui" represents "Kuisu", which is the same origin as the Kui Star in the "Kui Xing Kick Fight".

It is usually believed that it is the ancient ancestors, in order to look at the text and know the righteousness, the "Kui" is written as "ghost fight", because Kui Xing is also regarded as a symbol of evil spirit, the most famous Kui Xing reincarnation is the legendary "Zhong Kui", the door god posted during the Spring Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival, it is mostly the Taoist door god Zhong Kui......

The left of the immortal is "human", and the gate has the meaning of Zhong Kui to ward off evil spirits, and it is "Kui......

The name of Nagi Senzaemon is really the eighteen bends of the mountain road!

At the same time, Liu Pleiades also noticed that Erina's signature is also a Chinese name, which is still arranged according to the characters of the Liu family, but she is a "stomach" character and is written as "Liu Stomach Hui".

Seeing Liu Yuexing, he couldn't help grinning, and those who didn't know thought that Erina was a generation older than him!

In fact, after the news that Erina had the "Tongue of God" came out, the elders of the Liu family were also shocked, after all, this was the same talent as the ancestors back then......

If it weren't for the fact that Erina is a "stomach" generation, not a "pleiades" generation, it is estimated that they would have reconciled with the separation family in spite of face sixteen years ago and cultivated her as a prophet!

However, because of the difference of one generation, the elder of the Liu family decided to observe and observe......

"Next, please choose two sea breams to be used in the food warehouse of the representative area of the separate family, and then the representative of the main family will choose which one to use first." Master Xie continued.

Obviously, compared with the various assessments and halberds of Yuanyue, the rules for the use of ingredients are different, neither the contestants bring their own ingredients, nor do they start to use them at the same time, to see who has the right vision and quick start, but a more fair way to put both parties on the same starting line in the selection of ingredients.

That is to say, "Party A" first chooses the two to use from the sea bream provided, and then "Party B" first chooses the one he wants to use......

In this way, "Party A" will not take advantage of "Party B", and will definitely choose two sea breams that are almost the same!

And this year, it was the turn of the family to be the "Party A", and Erina also ordered two sea bream from the seafood warehouse of "Yangquan Restaurant", but after seeing the sea bream she ordered, both the judges and the few viewers couldn't help but be stunned......

It seems that Erina's recipes have indeed been designed by themselves before, and even Senzaemon and they don't know.

"It's ...... Frozen sea bream? Tsk, Yangquan Restaurant has also begun to control costs? Lan Jialu said in the audience.

Liu Lousan glanced at him when he heard this, and then said: "This is for the 'low-priced' buffet served to the 'Yangquan Hotel', and it is marked on the dining instructions!" Otherwise, if you use all fresh sea bream, the purchase cost is fine, but the amount of water used is too high, and the storage cost is too high......

The price of "Yangquan Hotel" is much cheaper than that of "Yangquan Restaurant", such as Liu Pleiasion's "Mapo Bomb", which is priced at 188 yuan in the former and 68 yuan in the latter.

After all, there is still some gap in the chef level......

Of course, the same is true for buffets, the "low price" is only relative!

"Save the cost? By the way, our Lanshi Group has recently developed a new fresh storage mechanism, if you use this mechanism to rearrange the fresh storage, you can ......"

When Lanjialu saw the stitches and sold his new products to Liu Lousan, Liu Pleiades was already under the command of Master Xie to select sea bream.

Liu Yuexing poked his finger at the two hard snappers, and couldn't help grinning.

Well, it was frozen very firmly, and Liu Pleiades also used a little "super tactile" heating method, and each thawed a small piece when they came into contact, and sure enough, it ...... All of them are sea bream that have passed the "best" season!

However, for ordinary cooking needs, it is actually satisfied, and it does not affect anything.

But if it is used as the "main ingredient" in a duel of the level of Liu Pleiades and Erina, it will have a great impact.

For example, more than 100 years ago, when the ancestor of the Liu family "Liu Pleiades" and the ancestor of the Lei family, Rennes, faced off under the witness of the Guangzhou Kitchen Federation, because of the first draw, both sides used the method of "self-harm" to ensure that the sea bream meat can preserve the umami of the best appreciation period......

The reason why he did not hesitate to get his hands frostbitten and burned for this reason is because when the judges tasted it, it happened that the sea bream would pass the best tasting period, so the umami was fixed in advance.

However, now this sea bream has missed the best tasting period!

"Then this one!" Liu Pleiades chose a random one that looked pleasing to the eye.

Now that he has decided to compete, it is impossible for Liu Pleiades to release the water, even if the opponent is Erina, he will go all out, but there is indeed no difference between the two frozen snappers in front of him now......

"Erina has really become cunning......" Alice sighed in the audience.

"No, it's a reasonable strategy! You can't be soft on this kind of guy! "Scarlet Sand is naturally firmly on Erina's side.

That's right, most of the people present can see that Erina's choice seems "fair", but it is actually beneficial to her.

The reason why she chose such frozen sea bream is that Erina must have her own considerations and a recipe to use.

And if Liu Pleiades prepared a recipe using fresh sea bream, then now it has to be reimagined on the spot!

It can be seen that Erina is also going all out, and neither side has any intention of releasing water......

The two sides pushed their own transfer carts back to the cooking table, and invariably refrigerated the frozen sea bream first, and then went to the warehouse to select auxiliary materials.

After the two returned with a trolley loaded with auxiliary materials, they began to thaw the sea bream, and the sea bream of both of them was about a meter long, which was enough to make four dishes.

However, the steps of thawing are obviously more advantageous for Liu Pleiades.

Erina puts the sea bream in a pot and rinses it with running water at 3 to 5 degrees Celsius to thaw it constantly.

And Liu Pleiades directly put the frozen fish in the water, and then kept stroking and pressing the frozen snapper with both hands in the water!

Compared with the thawing of running water, Liu Pleiaus's controllable body temperature thawing obviously has more advantages!

After thawing, both of them first took two pieces of meat on both sides of the sea bream belly, and then left the remaining sea bream and continued to refrigerate it at a temperature of 3C...... This temperature does not have to worry about the snapper re-freezing and does not deteriorate further in a short period of time.

And what the two did after that, the synchronization rate was also very high......

Seeing that both of them were using knives to chop the fish meat into fish paste, Liu Pleiades and Erina didn't seem to expect that the two would have such a tacit understanding, and they couldn't help but look at each other from a distance.

However, Erina immediately turned her head with a cold snort, mixed the slurry-like auxiliary materials that had been prepared when the running water thawed with the minced fish, and then put it in a blender and stirred it.

Liu Pleiades started to prepare on the spot, taking out the tapioca starch, corn starch, skimmed milk powder and a small amount of pork loin he had brought before.

The pork loin is also minced, while some soybeans are ground on one side, and the soy milk is separated on a centrifuge to remove the residue, which is then mixed with the sea bream puree, with several spices and oil that has been fried with green onion and ginger......

But instead of using a blender, he picked up two steel rods and smashed them in the basin!

Seeing this scene, many elderly people couldn't help but glance at Master Xie.

This is how his old man's cooking style is, with a delicate touch in the roughness, but now he rarely uses his hands......

And when Master Xie saw Liu Yuexing wielding an iron rod, his eyes couldn't help but flash with a look of remembrance, I don't know if he remembered his former self or his father Xie Lu.

"Both of them are making 'fish surimi' in their own way, and it seems that the first dish of the two of them is similar to the product of 'fish suri......" Tang Zhu muttered in the audience.

Tang Zhu is one of the chefs of Shanghai Longzhen Restaurant, and is also the head chef of Longzhen Restaurant, the younger brother of Tang Song, the helmsman of the Tang family, and the descendant of Tang Sanjie, a famous chef in Shanghai during the "China Banban" period, and now Tang Song is on the judges' bench.

However, if you look at the genealogy, the Tang family is older than the others, because Tang Sanjie himself is the N generation of the chef and the eldest young master of the Longzhen Restaurant......

As the first love of "Liu Pleiades"...... Ah Bu is the first friend who studied art at the same time, Tang Sanjie once used the "bouncing soft-shelled turtle soup" to defeat the chicken top soup of the dark cooking world "Locke", and also played a soy sauce in the imperial cooking duel.

The generation of the Tang family, in fact, Tang Zhu's cooking skills are the highest, slightly inferior to Liu Lousan, but in theory, it has surpassed the ordinary three-star.

However, he is not interested in the restaurant management at all, so he only works as a chef in Longzhen Restaurant, and usually does not do much, and most of the time he spends his time thinking about new recipes, new techniques, or traveling around the world......

Even so, Longzhen Restaurant is still one of the most famous three-star Chinese restaurants in Shanghai.

"That's right, and sea bream is used to make surimi...... It's a luxury. Even frozen sea bream meat is more valuable than fish suri, right? If it's just a gimmick, the judges won't buy it. Lan Jialu said.

Indeed, as a material for fish tofu, fish balls, fish plates and other products, fish slurry is usually mashed with small "trash fish", salted and mixed with starch and other auxiliary materials.

After all, the texture and taste of fish slurry products are not greatly affected by raw fish, so they will not use commercial fish that is too expensive.

Of course, it is true that the frozen sea bream has exceeded the weakness of the best tasting period and the umami and texture are not at their peak, and the "seemingly" has been smoothed out.

But if the final result is not as good as using non-peak sea bream, the judges will obviously not be satisfied!

"But since it's a competition, and both sides have the same starting point, then Ah Xing is not weak, right?"

As soon as this voice appeared, for a while, no matter which side of the audience was, they all cast concerned eyes on him, especially Alice and Scarlet's eyes!

Now in the audience, Liu Pleiades will be called "Ah Xing", and the tone is still biased towards Liu Pleiades, and only Liu Pleiades who doesn't know when he will return to the scene......

As for Scarlet Sand and Alice...... The former is the diehard loyalist of the eldest lady, and even if the relationship with Liu Pleiades is close, the eldest lady still puts the eldest lady in the highest position, while Alice is unhappy because of the previous "two loves", but it is not as obvious as Erina.

Liu Yuyuan hurriedly used Liu Lousan to separate himself from the eyes of the two women......

Fortunately, the Chinese level of Crimson and Alice is average, and Liu Yuyuan said so urgently before, they only heard the name "Ah Xing" clearly.

But seeing each other's age again, the two girls immediately had a guess in their hearts.

Liu Lousan turned a blind eye to the affairs of these young people, and just said in response to Liu Yueyuan's question: "Actually, I'm more worried about Liu Pleiades, the division is the ingredients I choose by myself, plus the effect of 'super taste', I'm afraid I have already made up my mind in my heart, and it is unlikely that I will make any low-level mistakes, and Liu Pleiades's words ...... Although it also has a 'super taste', after all, it was conceived on the spot, so I can't guarantee that there will be any problems. ”

I saw that Liu Yuexing used two steel rods to completely smash the fish paste and slurry in the basin into fish slurry, and then took out the iron steaming tray he had held before......

The steaming tray is about 20 centimeters long, and it is divided into grooves two fingers long long, and Liu Pleiades pours the sea bream slurry into the grooves and puts it in a humidifying oven to steam and roast!

At the same time, while steaming and roasting, I began to heat oil in the pot, and put dried chili peppers, Chaotian peppers, chili powder, Sichuan pepper, sesame pepper, star anise, ginger powder, etc., into the oil fryer......

It can be seen that every time a spice is added, Liu Pleiades will taste it first, and then finally confirm the dosage.

After stir-frying for a while, the impurities in the pot were skimmed off, and the remaining paste was also separated into the centrifuge, and the red oil and a small part of the slurry were specially removed.

"Huh? The oven steamer seems to be ...... Isn't it used to make fish tofu? After a month of assault, Liu Yuyuan can basically recognize all common cooking tools, whether it is modern kitchenware or kitchenware from other cuisines.

At the same time, from the beginning, she was also thinking in her heart, if she was fighting on behalf of the main family this time, what way would she deal with this sea bream that was no longer at its peak.

Liu Yuyuan thinks that she has also "utilized" the knowledge of various cuisines that she has made up for this month, but she is a little frustrated when she comes to the conclusion......

In the end, Liu Yuyuan had to admit that if he were to change to himself, he would not only have to think for a longer time, but also only think about "making use" of the knowledge of various cuisines that he was temporarily cramming for a month to assist himself in processing frozen sea bream and making the four dishes he originally expected, without really changing the recipe and pursuing the best recipe to achieve the dish!

It's not just a difference in knowledge, it's also a difference in the way of thinking......

I saw that Liu Pleiades would pay attention to the situation in the oven from time to time, and when he felt that the time was about the same, he began to put the red oil and spicy paste extracted before into a large spoon, added the ready-made bean paste and tempeh of "Yangquan Restaurant", and finally poured warm water to simmer.

After a while, the "fish tofu" in the oven was also taken out by Liu Yuexing.

Ordinary "fish tofu" is usually steamed and fried in freshwater fish, so the skin is golden brown and the inside is white, while the sea bream meat itself is white and red......

The "sea bream tofu" was taken out of the steaming plate by Liu Pleiades, cut into pieces, and placed directly on five plates!

After that, I added powdery powder to the simmering "red soup" to make it sticky, and poured it on five plates of "sea bream tofu"!

"This ...... Could it be...... Mapo tofu? Mapo fish tofu? Zhao Ming said in surprise.

"That's right, it's the same as 'Giant Panda Mapo Tofu', pouring the thickening juice directly on the tofu......"

The Zhao brothers have been learning art from Liu Lousan at "Yangquan Restaurant", and "Giant Panda Mapo Tofu" has always been one of the signature dishes of "Yangquan Restaurant"! Although the recipe has changed a lot, they are naturally familiar with this sauce-style mapo tofu.

They were only surprised by the use of "sea bream tofu" as an ingredient......

At the same time, Erina's first dish had already reached the thickening stage, and I saw the reddish-brown thickening juice poured on five pale yellow balls the size of half a fist......

"It seems that the first dish was basically completed by both sides at the same time!" Lei Yu sighed on the judges' bench.

"That's right, if it's someone from the head of the Liu family, it's estimated that you're still in the stage of hard thinking, or complain about Erina's choice of 'inappropriate' ingredients, right?" Shintomori said.

Although Shintomori's words seem to be very tendentious, after all, it is indeed the truth, so the other judges just smiled and did not answer.

In the first round of the "traditional project", there were a total of four dishes, but the contestants on both sides could choose the time to present the dishes, and by this time, Liu Pleiades and Erina had already put "Mapo Tofu" and "Braised Lion's Head" on the judges' bench......

Liu Pleiades originally wanted to carry forward the style and let Erina give priority to submission, but Erina just snorted arrogantly and said: "Since you did it first, submit it first!" lest I have to make excuses when I lose ......" (To be continued.) )
