"The boy over there is 'Liu Pleiades', right? You're so young......"

"Yes, seeing him is like seeing the thistle back then!"

"Thistle? But will he really shine as brightly as thistle? When the thistle was born in the second year, it had already won the first place......"

"But having said that there has been a lesson from thistle, the 'Food Demon King' still entrusts his granddaughter so easily?"

"Is it Erina or Alice? How could it be so messy in the rumors? ”

"The son of my cousin's classmate's cousin is a second-year student of Yuanyue Academy, and according to him, it seems that Liu Pleiades, Zhen and Nagi are two sisters...... There are even other girls who have 'unclear' dealings......"

"Huh? Really? How can it be? ”

"No, have you noticed any of these rumors? This person's surname is 'Liu', and there is also a 'Pleiades' in his name! ”

"What do you want to say? Don't...... No way? With the temper of the 'food demon king', will he really make peace with the people of the Liu family? ”

"I don't know, but at the same time, in this year's college, there is another person who is directly transferred to the third year, whose name is 'Liu Yuyuan'...... Don't you think there's something greasy in there? ”

"Let's wait and see!"

Many of the guests invited by Yuanyue are not professional chefs, but shareholders and managers, and while being spectators, they are also discussing some things outside of the competition. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with Liu Pleiasion's cooking skills, they seem to be more concerned about whether Yuanyue really has any cooperation with the Liu family again.

Most of the students, as well as professional chefs, focused almost all their attention on the cooking skills of the Ten Masters!

Of course, "gossip" is a human instinct, and it will definitely cause them some distraction.

Especially in a college like Yuanyue, where there are more men and fewer women, there is a pig who has destroyed half an acre of cabbage, and it is inevitable that people will be resented!

This is the first time that the "Ten Masters Qualifying Competition" has been held, so naturally it needs to be packed well, and the players push their own carts out, which looks frustrating, and this form is not adopted......

Ten people, including Liu Pleiaus, are all heroic and high-spirited, and they appeared like a catwalk!

When everyone came on the field, Reido Kawashima introduced his deeds, and specially turned off the lights in the whole city, accompanied by the ten heroes in the entrance with spotlights, and the big screen also displayed his previous major halberds, video playbacks in the game, and even everyone had their own exclusive BGM......

In the end, after all ten people appeared on the stage, there were ten collective spotlights, hitting the ten people, worshiping the moon that was about to completely emerge from the roof of the shed, quite a bit of starry posture!

After that, in each person's own cooking table, the ingredients and equipment they needed have been prepared, and the venue of "Between the Moon and Sky" is spacious enough, even enough for Liu Pleiades to carry out "firewood circle play", and there is still plenty to naturally place ten cooking tables.

There are also some fresh goods that need to be selected, which are not yet on the field, but they are ready, and players can apply directly when they need them!

As soon as they came up and made the most basic preparations, Liu Pleiades, Erina, and Kurokiba Ryo raised their hands one after another......

I saw the staff push three huge aquariums to the edge of the field from the field.

"Huh? All three of them are going to cook with aquatic ingredients? ”

"That's ...... Cuttlefish, sea cucumbers and ...... Snakehead? ”

"It seems that Miss Erina wants to use 'sea cucumber', Liu Pleiades wants to use 'cuttlefish', and the Kurokiba player with a turban uses 'black fish'!"

"Wait, sea cucumber and black fish obviously use their own color to deduct the topic of 'dark cuisine', but cuttlefish ...... It's not black......"

"Probably using the 'ink' of cuttlefish, right?"

The audience speculated.

The three people on the field stepped forward one after another, picked up the aquatic products they needed, and the first one to do it, Kurogi Ryo, picked up the fishing net from the huge aquarium, and directly fished up a black fish that looked very energetic!

"That's you! Not bad strength...... "Kurokiba has an almost instinctive judgment of seafood, and he instantly chooses the black fish he needs.

Watching Kurokiba casually catch and take out the struggling black fish in the fishing net, many students pinched a cold sweat for him......

The black fish belongs to the freshwater fish, and it is an extremely ferocious species among the freshwater fish!

Not good at swimming, but know how to hide themselves, wait until the prey is close to make a fatal blow, and the black fish is very greedy, at most the stomach capacity can reach 60% of its own body weight, there is a habit of cannibalism, will feed on the same race less than two-thirds of their own length.

At the same time, the gills of the black fish have a special structure and have the ability to store air, so they can survive for several days in a dry environment after leaving the water, and if they are in moist soil or wetlands, they can "sleep" for several weeks!

Therefore, the black fish that has just come out of the water is still very active, especially the black fish that Kurokiba Ryo chose is still a large black fish, and it is enough to have an arm......

Moreover, it is impossible for Kurokiba to choose the most convenient way to slaughter after a stun, because bruising will destroy the meat quality and flavor of the black fish.

Even among the students in Yuanyue, I am afraid that a large part of them have no way to take the live black fish, after all, what they have learned is more inclined to use the decomposed fish meat for further processing.

However, in the eyes of those who know Kurokiba Ryo, this is nothing to worry about at all, and for Kurokiba Ryo, who was born in a black restaurant on the Nordic dock, slaughtering live fish and the like is not a problem at all!

And Liu Pleiades also fished out five cuttlefish at this time......

Each cuttlefish includes the coat of the torso, plus the wrists and feet, and is about the length of the elbow to the fingertips.

The basis for Liu Pleias's choice is mainly from the super-vision, super-smell and super-auditory senses, and it is judged that these five cuttlefish are the most suitable for using ink.

Cuttlefish, also known as squid, does not belong to fish, but marine mollusk, with a relatively tough mantle membrane on the outside of the torso, fleshy fins on both sides of the coat, two eyes on the lower edge of the coat, and ten brachiopods, eight short and two long below.

The fins can not only assist swimming, but also glide "tools", cuttlefish have a strong jumping power, can jump out of the sea, with the help of the fins in the air is amazing!

The most impressive feature is that when encountering a strong enemy, the cuttlefish will spray out the black ink stored in the ink sac in its body, which is used to intimidate predators and also play a role in confusing the public......

Ink can also be used as an ingredient, fresh cuttlefish juice has the fragrance of the sea, Italian cuttlefish ink pasta, is based on ink and pasta!

That's right, Liu Pleiades is indeed going to use the cuttlefish's ink sac now.

The five cuttlefish that were still alive were placed on the cooking table by Liu Pleiades, and in just one or two seconds, the body of the cuttlefish showed a color similar to that of the cooking table......

In addition to spitting ink, cuttlefish are masters of color-changing in the ocean, adjusting pigment sacs in their bodies while visually recognizing their surroundings.

Liu Pleiades picked up the small, but heavy-looking shell-opening knife, and instantly took out the knife at the junction between the "coats" of the five cuttlefish and the lower bodies, and immediately pulled out after the blade was stabbed......

I saw that the five cuttlefish instantly turned white, which is the color of the fresh raw cuttlefish that everyone saw in the market!

Because the central nervous system in the back is destroyed, the cuttlefish's ability to change color is completely stopped, and within a second or two, it will turn back to the white of the "base color".

And then, Liu Pleiaus's movements were incomprehensible, and he didn't immediately decompose the cuttlefish, but didn't know where to find a few "talisman seals", and pasted them on the "coats" of the five cuttlefish in a row, and then put his palms together to make a comforting look......

"What is he doing? For the squid excess? ”

"I don't know...... Is it funny? ”

"If there is any 'performance art' in the cooking duel, there will be no extra points, right?"

"I guess it's to get everyone's attention......"

The audience, who didn't know Liu Pleiades very well, couldn't help but talk about it, even the students who knew Liu Pleiades were wondering what was the point of Liu Pleiades doing this?

The same judge muttered: "I did hear that some chefs have this habit, but I didn't expect the young Liu Pleiades to ......."

"Ah Xing is really kind!" Only the garden fruit said with stars shining in his eyes.

For this kind of behavior in the eyes of lovers, the other four judges couldn't refute anything while looking sideways.

Only a few people, including Senzaemon and Dojima Gin, understand what Liu Pleiades is doing!

"Sacrificial sacrifice? Already getting started? And no wonder...... After all, if you have 'super hearing', it is equivalent to walking on the shortcut of 'sacrificial sacrifice'! Ling'er raised her head from the state of prayer, looked at Liu Pleiades and muttered.

That's right, during this week, in addition to preparing recipes, Liu Pleiades also went to the library to find the content of "sacrificial sacrifice".

That is what Wren would do after slaughtering animal ingredients during the "China Banban" period.

Through methods similar to "sacrificial prayers", the source lost in the slaughtering process can be repaired as much as possible, and when the skill is skilled, the source of the ingredients can even be improved!

After Liu Pleiades saw the relevant records of the "sacrificial sacrifice" in the library and the method of its conduct, he immediately understood why it was difficult for ordinary chefs to grasp the "sacrificial sacrifice......

Because the "source" of the ingredients cannot be seen or touched, it is difficult to see if there is an effect after the "sacrifice sacrifice".

The "sacrificial sacrifice" itself requires the user's will, but if the effect is not visible, it means that confidence cannot be established, and the sacrifice will naturally be superficial.

Therefore, there are only two kinds of people who are suitable for learning "sacrificial sacrifices", one is like Wren, who is full of respect and gratitude for the animals that become ingredients, and deep down in their hearts, they are really for the sake of sacrificing and comforting these ingredients, and there are no other utilitarian cooks, who can make "sacrificial sacrifices" effective.

The other is like Liu Pleiades, who is obviously inferior to Rennes with a pure heart in terms of "sincerity", but can accurately judge the changes in the "source" of ingredients!

The existence of "super hearing" allows Liu Pleiades to directly feel the changes in the source of ingredients, and for Liu Pleiades, "sacrificial sacrifice" is like communicating with ingredients......

For Liu Pleiaus, there is no question of sincerity or insincerity, because any slight change in the "source" of the ingredients is in his observation, and he firmly believes more than anyone else that what he is doing is meaningful!

At the same time, because of the existence of "super hearing", Liu Pleiades can use the best means to "please" the ingredients.

That's right, Liu Pleiades now believes that the essence of "sacrificial sacrifice" is actually to "please" the ingredients!

After the ingredients are "cooked", they become necessary to "please" people and even maintain human existence, and the "sacrificial sacrifice" is to give back to the ingredients first.

Although this kind of thing is not interesting at all for normal creatures, the ingredients are fundamentally different from ordinary creatures, and in short, it is true that "sacrifice sacrifices" are effective for ingredients.

After the central nervous system of the cuttlefish's back was cut off, it was already dead as a "creature", and Liu Pleiades had been "cut right" as much as possible, without causing it unnecessary pain, this slaughtering method was already very suitable for cuttlefish......

The "cuttlefish" that exists as a "food", after Liu Pleiades's "sacrifice and sacrifice", the "source" itself, which has not lost much, has been restored to its best state.

After touching for about a minute, Liu Pleiades took down a few talisman seals......

Because of the existence of "super hearing", Liu Pleiades clearly understands that this talisman is not actually prepared for "ingredients", as another form of existence different from ordinary life, it is impossible to be happy because of some specious symbols, these talismans are used to help the user himself to improve his attention!

Although Liu Pleiades has a shortcut, he is still a beginner after all, and he still has to use this kind of auxiliary means.

Even if the cuttlefish dies, the body will curl up after encountering electrolytes such as salt or high temperatures, but this is a stress response caused by external stimulation of the nerves.

Because the cuttlefish has the ability to cut off part of its wrists and feet when it is alive and "fake" its real body to get rid of its natural enemies, it is easy to feel external stimuli and then produce activities even if it is dead or out of its body.

However, Liu Pleiaus, who has a "super hearing", can naturally confirm that the "cuttlefish" that exists as a creature in front of him has died, and now it is a "cuttlefish" that exists as a food.

After the "sacrificial sacrifice" was completed, Liu Yuexing took out a smaller carved knife and cut a small opening barely enough for the middle finger and index finger to reach into about one-fifth of the top of a cuttlefish's "coat", and then ......

Hand of the Eagle!

I saw Liu Yuexing's two fingers, sensitively reaching into it, and after a short time, a thumb-sized, faintly black capsule was taken out......

That's right, Liu Pleiades did want to use the ink of the cuttlefish, and now it is the ink sac of the cuttlefish that is being taken out.

By decomposing the cuttlefish by ordinary means, it is easy to break the ink sac, and then not only can the ink no longer be used, but also the cuttlefish meat must be rinsed.

If you want to remove the ink sac completely, you usually cut the "coat" first, separate the torso of the cuttlefish from the "coat" along with the brachiopod parts, and then carefully cut the torso part to separate the visceral tissue, and then peel off the ink sac covered by the visceral tissue by hand!

At the same time, the ink sac also has an ink sac tube that leads directly to the outside, and the usual way to separate the ink sac is bound to break the ink sac and the ink sac tube, that is, there will be a breach in the former, as if there is no balloon tied to the blown mouth, and the ink sac will be sealed with external auxiliary items, such as clips, etc......

However, the ink sac that Liu Pleiades took out with the "hand of the eagle" was connected with a part of the ink sac tube, and when it was taken out, the ink sac tube was already tied and the entire ink sac was sealed and sealed!

As for using only the middle finger and index finger, and in the body of the cuttlefish, how did such a delicate operation be accomplished? Then only those who have the "hand of the eagle" will know!

"How?"

"Even the ink sac tube is intact, and the ...... is tied"

"What a dexterous finger ......"

"Sister, what are you blushing for? Didn't we come to protest on Hayama's behalf? ”

"Ahem, you know what! I'm just amazed at this technique! ”

Off-stage, including the Chitoya sisters, many female viewers who were invited to come all looked strange at this time.

Originally, Chiri Xia Ya came to complain about Ye Shan Liang not being elected as one of the top ten masters, and wanted to see if there was a chance to take Ye Shan Liang "pack and take away"......

"But I didn't expect him to like that type!" Chitaku looked at Ryo Hayama and Jun Shiomi, who was sitting next to him, and resentment was rising.

And when everyone was shocked by Liu Pleiades's "Eagle's Hand" skills, Liu Pleiades also concocted the same method, and took out the ink sacs of the remaining four cuttlefish completely.

"Ryo, what's wrong with you?" Shiomi looked at Ryo Hayama, who was sitting next to her, suspiciously.

"No, nothing...... I always feel like someone is watching me! Ye Shan Liang was trembling when he saw Chiri Xia Ya in the distance.

Suddenly, Ye Shanliang's expression froze, and he looked in the direction of Yishihui with a cold expression, only to see that Yishihui was taking out the ingredients prepared by the competition committee before, and it seemed to be ...... Lamb chops? That's right, lamb chops with ribs attached!

"Black goat?" Ye Shan Liang's sense of smell made him judge from the scene that the mutton taken out by Yi Shihui was the lamb chops of a black goat!

In the finals before, Yishihui defeated Yeshan Liang's black goat meat with fish and sheep cooking, and now Yishihui actually took out the black goat meat himself in the qualifying round?

This made Ye Shan Liang extremely unhappy, and he always felt that this smiling guy was mocking himself.

At the same time, he was also wondering how Issehui was going to embody the "dark cuisine", although the black goat had a black skin, the meat inside was still red, close to the color of beef!

And now it is most like she is carrying out the "dark cuisine" that Liu Pleiades knows, and she has to count the scarlet sand, only to see that she has taken out a few "turtle plates", that is, the plate armor on the lower abdomen of the turtle, and some medicinal herbs that seem to exude a suspicious aura......

Because of her arrogant remarks at the opening ceremony, Shinna Oda, a freshman who has attracted much attention, took out the ingredients at this time, which is a piece of pork belly, and it is impossible to see that her ingredients have anything to do with "dark cuisine".

Known as the "King of Meat", Mito Yumei, who has had various scandals with Liu Pleias, and is also Liu Pleias's nominal maid, took out the black-bone chicken at this time......

Once Liu Pleiades used "black-bone chicken" to win the position of the chief of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society!

As for Alice, the "princess of molecular gastronomy", no one has yet seen what she is doing, nor what ingredients she uses, but they have seen that it contains more than one animal blood!

Well, the red-looking slimy liquid is obviously blood, but what kind of blood it is not visible from the appearance......

In addition, Alice has been operating various separators, blenders and other equipment, and the ingredients used are powders, liquids or lumps that cannot be seen in their original form.

The rest of Kohei Sojin and the ingredients of Megumi Tazo looked a little shabby, and even attracted discussion from the audience off the field......

"What? What are those things......"

"It looks so shabby, doesn't it...... Are they poor? ”

"I've heard people say that the two second-year 'seniors', one of them came from a 'set of food houses', and the other family was just a ...... running a country hotel."

"Aren't the ingredients for the qualifying tournament provided by the academy and they just need to fill in the form?"

"Hehe, probably I haven't used any good ingredients, so I only cook these, right?"

"It's sad to look at, fungus, water chestnuts, black beans, black rice, rye, black mung beans...... Tsk, what will it be? ”

That's right, the ingredients for both of them are some very common black vegetable grains!

And after Liu Pleiades took out the ink sac with the hand of an eagle in a "miraculous skill", he prepared a special marinade, and it was the ink sac that was pickled......

At the same time, on the other side, there is a broth of kombu and fish bones boiled.

In the soup cooking, Liu Pleiades took out another one, and the others looked a little unfamiliar, but Erina, Alice, Scarlet Sand, and Liu Pleiades off the field were quite familiar with an ingredient...... Bracken!

Bracken is also known as "dragon head vegetable", when I was in Jiuzhaigou before, this was one of the few vegetables obtained by Liu Pleiades and others.

And what made Liu Pleiades curious was that the edible part of the bracken was its shoots, but now Liu Pleiades took out the whole bracken with stems and roots...... (To be continued.) )
