"A variant of Provençal stew...... Variants of Eggs Benedict...... But what does all this have to do with the 'past'? The judges looked at the two dishes in front of them and said suspiciously. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"No, I don't think there's any need to call them over and explain."

"Huh?"

"I think their current performance is enough to show that their cuisine is in line with the 'past' topic, don't forget...... The two contestants this time are 'separated' father-daughter relationships for a long time. ”

"'Lost' isn't accurate? How do I remember that it was Nagi Thistle who was deprived of custody because of alleged child abuse? ”

"Well, these things have nothing to do with the current game...... Well, looking at their appearance, they must indeed be two dishes related to the 'past', so let's try them! ”

Obviously, some of the judges have heard some rumors of internal grievances related to the Yuanyue Department, although they have different understandings because of their different mental tendencies, but since they were selected as "All? Blue", the judges are able to be "honest" when it comes to cooking.

Even if you feel that Nagi Thistle has a problem with her attitude towards her daughter, as long as you really feel that the "Provencal grilled food" is more delicious when you taste the food, you will not detract points from Nagi Thistle, and vice versa......

"What's going on? How did you turn the camera? Damn it! Liu Yuxing patted the keyboard depressedly in front of the computer.

The live broadcast was at its most tense, and the camera turned to the direction of the judges!

In fact, this is normal, at this time, it has reached the stage of presenting the food, and the attention of ordinary people will be on the referee.

As for the result of Nagi thistle and Erina tasting each other's dishes, it doesn't matter to the others......

Only Liu Pleiasion, who knows about the "Dark Cuisine Showdown", pays special attention to Erina.

And from an angle that the camera can't see, Erina also began to taste pieces of "Provencal grilled dishes" at this time.

First of all, it was eggplant, and Erina couldn't help but change her face after tasting it: "En? This taste...... When is it...... That's right! It was salt water that was applied to the kitchen knife at the beginning! ”

That's right, Erina tasted the eggplant and the sauce at the bottom of the plate in the eggplant.

The eggplant itself has a mild taste, tough skin and tender meat, and is good at flavor and oil absorption...... Under the smoke of the sauce made of smoked bell peppers, crushed tomatoes and a variety of spices, the light aroma of the eggplant itself is entwined, forming a wonderful match.

However, in addition, Erina, who has a "super sense of taste", accurately judged that among the taste of eggplant, there is also a "salty" flavor that does not belong to either eggplant or sauce!

Usually, some people like to soak in salt water when cooking eggplant, mainly to analyze part of the water of eggplant, so as not to absorb too much oil, and also to prevent eggplant oxidation and blackening.

But now the taste is not too deep into the eggplant, so Erina decisively judged that it was the naginagi thistle that had been dipped in some kind of salt water before cutting the eggplant.

This "salty" is not superfluous, and the eggplant with its mild flavor is added with a little salt water, which is more suitable for the sauce!

In fact, this is also something that Erina and Liu Pleiasung, who purely watched the visual effects during the broadcast, suspected before......

Although the "roasting" in this way avoids the mixing of "stews" in terms of image and taste, there is one biggest problem!

Unlike "stew", which combines all the ingredients and soup, this "Provençal grill" is the equivalent of using one sauce to pair five kinds of fruits and vegetables.

Can this really be considered "exquisite"?

You must know that the texture and taste of the five kinds of vegetables and fruits are different, which is equivalent to using a key to open five different locks, can it really be tightly sealed?

Today's eggplant is made with a sauce that is slightly different from other fruits and vegetables......

This makes Erina vaguely feel that it seems that the cooking of naginagi thistle is more than it seems on the surface!

After swallowing the eggplant, Erina did not stop and continued to taste the tomato.

Because the tin foil is removed halfway, all the ingredients in it are dry, and the tomato, which has the most moisture, has obvious signs of becoming "dried tomatoes" at this time, and the taste is completely different from that of normal tomatoes.

The first reaction after the entrance...... Sour!

Yes, the tomatoes selected by Nagi Cut Thistle are significantly more sour than normal tomatoes, but this sourness between ripe and unripe fills the gap between the flavor of the tomato itself and the sauce......

Erina seemed to realize something, and immediately tasted the pumpkin.

Sweet!

Pumpkin itself belongs to the sweet and glutinous cucurbitaceae vegetables, and it is usually picked and stored properly to further ripen the pumpkin and increase its sweetness......

But the pumpkin with the nagini thistle is obviously just picked!

The same goes for the eggplant and tomato before, and Erina was able to taste this, and she guessed that it was the role of the "Spirit Library".

Freshly picked pumpkins, but so sweet...... Honey pumpkin! Erina reacted immediately.

Honey pumpkin is a large pumpkin species, which is a hybrid product, and its appearance is different from that of ordinary pumpkins, usually in the shape of a gourd.

The best feature of honey pumpkin is just like its name...... Sweet!

It is one of the two sweets in pumpkins.

It's this sweetness that makes the pumpkin perfect for the flavor of the sauce!

Erina had already understood at this time......

This sauce is not only as simple as changing from "stewed" to "baked", but also a rare "five-flavor sauce".

That is to say, only one prominent flavor is needed as an introduction, and it can exert different effects and harmonize with different ingredients!

Although Erina has only tasted three of them now, it can be surmised that the other two vegetables, lettuce and potatoes, must have had a similar effect......

And these five flavors are not chosen at random, they all belong to the basic taste of human taste buds!

In ancient Chinese cuisine, the concept of five flavors, that is, "sour, bitter, sweet, spicy and salty", is also collectively known as "sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty".

(The five flavors are actually a Chinese medicine concept, and here it refers specifically to the situation of the world in the novel.) ）

However, with the combination of technology and cuisine, along with the research of human taste and taste buds, it was gradually discovered that the taste of "spicy" is actually a "pseudo-taste" caused by the sense of touch......

Just as chili oil can make people feel "spicy" even if it is dripped on skin without taste buds, "spicy" is essentially a kind of "pain" that belongs to the sense of touch.

Therefore, for a long time, there were only four basic tastes recognized in the world, that is, "sweet and sour, bitter and salty".

However, the Oriental cuisine school usually believes that there should be one more taste, and that is "freshness......

Including the first dish of classical Chinese cuisine, "Sheep Fang Tibetan Fish", many Chinese dishes are based on "freshness"!

It was not until the early and middle of the era of "great fusion of world cuisines" that it was finally discovered through a sufficient number of experiments that "umami" is indeed an independent basic taste, so there was also a new concept of five flavors recognized in the culinary world in the past hundred years - sweet, sour, bitter, salty and fresh.

The five kinds of vegetables and fruits used in the nagini thistle obviously correspond to the new five flavors of "sweet, sour, bitter, salty and fresh"!

The taste of lettuce itself is slightly bitter in the freshness, and the "cucurbitacin" that has a toxic effect on the human body is different, the light bitterness of lettuce comes from "lettuce", and it is not as aggressive as the "melon bitter leaf pigment" and "wild cucumber juice enzyme" of bitter gourd......

The just right amount of bitterness just fits the combination of "five-flavor sauce" and bitterness.

Potatoes, or potatoes, are often overlooked for their taste, which is "tasteless".

But in fact, potatoes are the representative of the "umami" taste in vegetables!

Unlike meat and fish, which can be eaten directly, potatoes alone do not feel "fresh", but when stewed with other meats, they can play a role in "enhancing freshness......

This is also the reason why potatoes are a good companion to stews all year round.

And after roasting, the "fresh" taste makes up for the gap between the sauce and the potatoes!

It is similar to, but completely different, to the "Provençal stew" that Erina tasted back then.

In the beginning, the "Provençal stew" of naginagi thistle was used to squeeze the potential of Erina as a child, and now the "Provencal grilled dish" also makes good use of the five flavors, but it pushes the five flavors to the right place.

Suddenly, Erina felt that compared to the five ingredients, the "five flavors" at the bottom were the protagonists......

After tasting all five ingredients, the judges finally realized that this is not a sauce to set off the five ingredients, but to complete the sauce with each of the five ingredients!

The true meaning of this "Provençal grilled dish" can only be realized after tasting the five flavors......

And Erina, who has a "super sense of taste", already feels like she is about to be lost in the abyss of taste!

The extreme taste enjoyment of the "five flavors" staggered towards Erina, and finally formed a net that firmly bound Erina's spirit.

Erina has not forgotten what Ling'er said before, and understands that this feeling is not only due to her instinctive closeness to "deliciousness", but also because of the "dark cuisine showdown".

At this time, Erina desperately remembered the taste of her own food......

It's a difficult feeling because the dish of nagini chopped thistle already contains "all" five flavors!

Theoretically, all flavors come from the basic taste, but Nagi cut thistle has achieved the ultimate in the basic taste of the five flavors......

This "extreme" does not mean that the dish of nagini cut thistle is heavy, but refers to the ultimate in taste "enjoyment"!

Dishes derived from the same basic flavor can be tarnished if you taste them continuously, and the "devil" cooking heart of the thistle exacerbates thistle.

And now Nagi thistle obviously wants to use her own five-flavor sauce to completely restrain Erina's play!

Yes, among the dragon chefs that Erina and Liu Pleiades have fought so far, Naginagi thistle is the most serious and the best, and the recipe selection is the most suitable for use in the competition.

Liu Pleiaus, who was watching the broadcast, also guessed the intention of the nagini thistle and the seven or eight points of mystery in the dishes from the expressions of the judges at this time......

"Sure enough, being guided by the 'curse' to participate in the competition is completely different from the participation that really wants to participate and the original intention is completely overlapping with the "curse"! Liu Pleiades couldn't help but hammer his palm.

Whether it's with Liu Pleiades or Erina before, all the dragon chefs I met actually made in the duel are not at the dragon level, at most they are only close!

Dragon-level cuisine requires not only dragon-level skills, but also dragon-level inspiration......

The pride of the dragon chefs makes them not use ready-made recipes even when they are guided by the "curse" to face off against Liu Pleiades and Erina, and the ready-made dragon-level recipes may not be suitable.

Therefore, almost all of their dishes are created in a short period of time, and even dragon chefs do not have dragon-level inspiration at all times.

And now the "five-flavor sauce grilled dish" has not only reached the dragon level, but it is also especially good at using it for competitions!

Combined with the bewitching effect of the "demon" kitchen, it is just enough to stimulate the appetite of diners by overdraft, and the price after overdraft will naturally be borne by the opponent!

At this time, the judges were already preparing to taste Erina's "Eggs Benedict".

"Huh? This omelette ...... The silkiness of the egg yolk is not inferior to the water-poached egg? ”

Looking at the golden fluid egg yolk pouring out of the egg white, the judges couldn't help but marvel.

"There's a slight smell of burnt oil on the outside...... How do you use the high temperature of the moment? ”

That's right, this shows that Erina's grasp of the heat of the fried egg has reached a vivid level...... Apparently he already has the essence of firework. The judges looked at the golden fluid egg yolk and said.

Whether it's a poached egg or a soft-boiled omelette, the moment the yolk flows out is the most tempting!

The golden fluid flowed onto the Polish roll ham below, and the tender Parma ham was pressed and bent slightly, and then gently lifted after flowing......

Although the five-flavor sauce grilled dish with nagini cut thistle made the judges have a feeling of "the ultimate taste is nothing more than this", but after seeing this scene, the judges were visually aroused their appetite.

"In that case, then I'll start first!"

The appetite that the judges had previously been masked because of the enjoyment of taste was quietly lifted into a corner......

However, Erina's crisis has not been resolved, and now it is just the subjective will of the judges, and it is not excluded, in fact, after eating, the biggest possibility is that it is still covered up.

I saw several judges put the whole cut omelette into their mouths, along with the Parma ham, duck and hard bread that were cut together.

The hollandaise sauce on the omelette is made with lemon juice, egg yolks, cream, and tarragonia grass with a spicy flavor, and the omelette underneath has another "secret" in addition to the "poached egg", which seems to have an expanded taste difference.

That is, when the omelette is hit in the bowl, about one-third of the yolk is replaced by Erina with a syringe! Switched to a sour mayonnaise that is similar to hollandaise sauce but without the spiciness!

However, just when the harmonious sour and hot flavors bloomed in the mouths of the judges, they were immediately overwhelmed by the nostalgia for the sour and spicy dishes in the previous "five-flavor sauce grilled dish......

Followed by Parma ham, poured on the top of the "egg yolk up version" mayonnaise, which further sets off its salty and umami taste, with the essence of Erina's knife skills, the soft taste of Parma ham slices, seems to have a salty umami taste, bringing people a double enjoyment of taste and touch!

Unfortunately, before these two pleasures bloomed, they were extinguished by the salty umami flavor that bloomed before the other two......

Finally, the German farmer's bread is a mixture of oats and wheat, and the fragrance of the oats is mixed with the subtle "bitterness" characteristic of cereals.

Sure enough, Erina, as the owner of the "super taste", and she faced off against the thistle that had given her great fear in taste training, and even made her "super taste" once in a state of self-isolation, and Erina also chose a dish with multiple tastes.

If...... It can really be according to the plan, so that the "sour, spicy" and "salty" in the five flavors, as if the left and right sides of the advance army invaded, and finally the slight bitterness carried in the thick as a foil for the Chinese army, which is enough to break anyone's taste barrier!

However, any dish of naginagi thistle, where it is a little incomplete, may make Erina's cuisine "brilliant".

And yet now......

Erina felt as if she was a marionette, still controlled by the smiling Nagi Thistle, and even in her heart, Erina was already held in her hand by the gigantic "demon" Chef Heart, and the other hand was about to be held from top to bottom......

But at this moment, a soft cry sounded from Erina's heart!

I saw Erina, who had been dominated by fear again and fell into the hands of the devil, as if she was about to fall into the abyss of darkness again, suddenly a pair of wings appeared behind her, and a dazzling light sprinkled on her body, soaring out before the hands of the "demon" were closed!

"How, how is that possible? It's ......," the demon muttered as she looked at Erina in shock.

"That's right! I still remembered...... It seems that in terms of taste, I am still superior, and it proves that you were completely wrong from the beginning! Take it out of my heart...... I hope the next time I see you, it's not like this! It's what my mother said......"

Accompanied by Erina's words, a huge demon projection melted from Erina's heart!

At the same time, the judges also "looked good".

At the beginning, the judges frowned slightly when they tasted Erina's food......

There is no doubt that Erina's food is also very delicious, but each flavor is blocked by the impression that Naginagi has left in their taste memories before, which caused the judges to have a sense of dissonance that they feel delicious intellectually, but they are emotionally "unpleasant".

But just as I chewed deeply, the sixth flavor appeared!

A completely different flavor from the previous five flavors......

It was only in recent years that the Association for the Development of the Americas discovered the sixth flavor of the basic flavor...... Fat.

In Chinese, it can also be translated as "fat taste", that is, similar to the taste produced by dripping fat directly on the tongue, most of which is "fat......

It was also in a few years that "fat" has also been proven to be not coincident with other basic flavors, and it is not a fusion of other basic flavors, but a "sixth taste".

However, the research on "fat" is still very superficial, and there is no direct condiment like sugar and vinegar that can directly enhance the taste of "fat", which is also an important capital of the Inter-American Development Association.

If it develops step by step, the Inter-American Development Association is likely to become the "fourth largest cooking organization" within 20 years, and the discovery of "fat" culinary history level credit is bound to be an important driving force!

However, as a representative of the Inter-American Development Association, Nagi thistle did not take advantage of it directly, but it was used by Erina......

In each serving of "eggs Benedict", Erina adds a few slices of fat and lean duck meat in the center in addition to the ham.

Duck itself is an ingredient that tends to make people feel fat, and when Erina was roasted, she did not suppress this fatness, nor did she completely follow the recipe of Cantonese roast duck, but used its own game to further make people feel "fatty"!

It can be said that Erina's roast duck is not very delicious if it is tasted alone, as if someone really let the diners taste the pure fat meat soaked in oil, and they may even be beaten......

But if it is in stewed meat and barbecue, this little bit of "fat" taste can just make people get a higher level of taste enjoyment!

At this last moment, "fat" is also like a "sharp sword", which makes Erina's cuisine get out of the blockade of naginagi thistle!

Moreover, the previous blockade was like filling "air" into rubber tires, and the seemingly soft air, as long as it reaches three or four times the atmospheric pressure, can produce the effect of explosives when it erupts!

The same goes for Erina's "Bandinik Egg......

Originally, Erina's level was only about the same as Liu Pleiades, and in the case of the longest play, it was only the pinnacle of the Lin level, and the same is true of this "Benedict Egg", which brings together the essence of Erina's taste appreciation.

But precisely because of the blockade of the naginata-cut thistle......

At this moment, the judges seemed to see a fat duck studded with gems all over its body, breaking free from its fishing net and rushing into the sky.

At this moment, the gemstone blooms with a brilliance that is better than its own, as if it has people's yearning for freedom!

At this moment, the previous mind of the nagini thistle was completely counterproductive.

Just after "fat" broke through the blockade of naginagi thistle, the flavor of Erina's "Eggs Benedict" completely doubled the taste of the judges!

Oppression can only bring a more violent backlash!

If Nagi Thistle is not using this recipe, if Naginagi Thistle is not the "devil" effect, if Naginagi Thistle is not the first to be preempted......

But there are not so many ifs, this is indeed accidental, but at the same time there is its inevitability!

"You, you...... I have known it for a long time...... It's mine...... Menu? After tasting Erina's food, Nagi said hoarsely with her eyes bulging out.

"No, I don't know, but I guessed that you must want a complete crushing victory, or even control me again, right? But it is this state of mind of yours that can stimulate the will shared by intelligent beings. Erina said.

That's right, to a certain extent, Erina's cuisine at this moment contains not only her own will, but also the will of the diners themselves!

It is the will of the diners that strengthens her cooking heart, making her cooking reach the dragon level, and because of the participation of the diners' own will, it is easier to have a sense of belonging!

This is also the only way that Erina can think of now, and she can defeat Nagi thistle......

Although it is very thrilling, because after speculating on Nagi thistle's mind, he must "cooperate" with him to contain and block his own cooking, and if he is not careful, he may be completely defeated, and then be controlled by the "demon" chef again, but the final result, whether it is the "final showdown" that determines the fate of human recipes, or "All? Blue”……

'Five to zero!' The results of the past group's appeared! Five-to-0...... Erina Nagikiri wins! ”
