Chapter 27: The Lobster

"As a professional halberdier I allow you to question my qualifications, let's have a sumo wrestling here first, and then we can try the cooking after I win!" Liu Pleiades said with a smile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Humph! The people of the Sumo Hot Pot Research Club are really timid enough to let an 'outsider' come forward, and this 'outsider' is willing to embarrass the 'Xiangyan', I have nothing to say. Erina said with a cold snort.

Kotoko couldn't help but want to say something, but was stopped by Hao Tianlin, and said to Erina: "The sumo hot pot research club chose to invite Liu Pleiades to 'eat halberd', and it has been approved by the Halberd Management Association, and Liu Pleiades has indeed just joined Xiangyan!" ”

This time it's in the name of the "Sumo Hot Pot Research Society", challenging the Ten Masters, which is different from the last time Liu Pleiades and Yu Mei's halberd, the last time the halberd was essentially initiated by the two in their own names, but the "Donburi Research Society" was willing to pay chips.

But this time, it was under the name of "Xiangyan", so Liu Yuexing temporarily joined Xiangyan in name......

Haotian Lin and Erina, under the notarization of the Food Halberd Administration, signed the deed of the food halberd, and then the accompanying personnel left one after another.

Before the end, Hao Tianlin whispered: "After that, please!" ”

Rei Kawashima duly announced, "Now, please invite the representatives of both sides to enter their respective cooking stations...... 'Sumo Hot Pot Research Society' against the 'Ten Masterpieces' Halberd, with the theme of 'Shrimp Cuisine'...... Now it's officially begins! ”

The audience is still in an accident about the replacement of players, but the vast majority of the audience is still not optimistic about Liu Pleiaus, although he won Yu Mei once, but Yu Mei and Erina are definitely not a level of existence!

For the annual students, "Erina Nagikiri" is like a god, and Liu Pleiades is the blasphemous......

Especially some students, for various reasons, were unintentionally slapped in the face by Liu Yuexing, and they also slandered him with a grudge at this time.

Words such as "I can't do enough" and "hit a stone with an egg" kept coming from the audience.

In fact, Liu Pleiades didn't know them, but they were wishful thinking and kept slandering Liu Pleiades, and then with the duel with Yu Mei and their usual performance in class, they just felt like they were slapped in the face, in fact, they wanted to be slapped in the face, and Liu Pleiades didn't have time to pay attention to it......

Liu Pleiades naturally shielded all these "noises" in his brain, and at this time, in addition to using the common seasonings and basic ingredients provided by the Food Halberd Administration, he and Erina also prepared their own ingredients to use.

The previous assistants on both sides all carried a small box up, among which Erina's assistant Scarlet only moved a live seafood box for offerings, while Liu Pleiades and Hao Tianlin and Qin Guangxi, in addition to the same seafood box, also had a wooden storage box......

Just when the two sides opened the seafood box, a close-up was given on the big screen of the venue.

Both sides chose fresh shrimp as the ingredients for cooking, and in the seafood preservation box, there were several shrimp swimming flexibly in each side, obviously very energetic.

The body and head of the shrimp selected by Erina look similar to that of ordinary shrimp, only larger, but the two front claws are extraordinarily slender, almost the same length as the shrimp's body!

"That's ...... Norwegian langoustines? Ryoko recognized the ingredients she had chosen.

Shanji pushed his glasses and said: "That's right, it is also called 'Berlin Bay Spoon Finger Shrimp' and 'Norwegian Lobster', although it looks like the body and head are similar to ordinary sea shrimp, but it belongs to the lobster family, which lives on the seabed in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and Western European countries are used to using it as an ingredient." ”

"Huh? Ah Xing's is ......" At this time, everyone also saw the ingredients chosen by Liu Yuexing.

Compared with the "Norwegian langoustin", which is an ingredient that makes people can't see that it is a lobster at first glance, Liu Pleiades's selection of materials is very "open and honest", the size of the Norwegian langoustina is full of Erina, the fiery red body, the body shape is cylindrical, and there is a pair of huge front claws, and there is also a huge tail fan on the tail, which is obviously the most common lobster...... Big lobster!

"This ...... It should be the Dongshan lobster, one of the more common lobsters, and the most common lobster in East Asia. Zenji said.

"Really! This is a little less anticipating! Those guys from 'Xiangyan' can't find more eye-catching ingredients? Yuhime said dissatisfiedly.

In the eyes of ordinary people, lobster may be a relatively particular ingredient, but in the eyes of the veterans who can serve as judges of the "halberd", there is nothing new......

Especially this time, because there are ten masters participating in the halberd, the lineup of judges is also more luxurious than the last time Liu Pleiades and Yu Mei competed, and the three judges are "Koji Kawahara", who has a net worth of 10 billion, "Nari Haitachi", the editor-in-chief of Oedo seafood magazine, and "Yuhiko Sawaguchi", the head chef of Sawaguchi Sashimi Restaurant.

Sure enough, the three judges all frowned slightly at this time, although Liu Pleiades had spread widely in his annual life, but no one recognized him when he came out of Yuanyue.

Originally, the judges who still had some expectations for Yuanyue's veteran club "Sumo Hot Pot Research Club" were a little resistant to the appearance of Liu Pleias's representatives, and now they see the uncreative Dongshan lobster, which is even more so.

"I remember when I was still in junior high school, 'Xiangyan' was also a big club with ten masters, it should be Ah Xing who chose this kind of lobster himself, or choose to believe him!" Issehui said.

And when Liu Pleiades opened the wooden box, the judges, who were still a little disappointed before, raised their eyebrows slightly.

I saw that the wooden box was actually filled with water, but it was not any seafood in it, but it was soaked in dry goods!

It is allowed to prepare in advance for ingredients that require a long time and are not too high-tech to prepare for the preparation of "dry goods".

And now Liu Pleiades's wooden box is the dry goods that have been soaked soft!

At this time, the bamboo sunflower, chicken fir chuff, anchovy mushroom, matsutake mushroom, lion's mane mushroom and porcini mushroom are fished out in the same way, the wooden box is still two layers, and the lower layer is not "dry goods", but there are root ingredients such as yams, yams, and burdock......

"Huh? What is that green dish? Yuhime wondered.

It is said that as the elite academy of the Far Moon Academy, there should not be such a situation where the name of the vegetable cannot be recognized......

Marui Zenji looked at it for a long time, and then said, "That should not be an artificially cultivated vegetable, but a kind of 'wild vegetable', and only in the mountains with high altitude and high precipitation will grow 'dragon mustard'......"

"Wild vegetables?" Yuhime's brows jumped, and she became even more confused.

Wild vegetables and wild meat are treated differently, the latter is mostly wild or semi-wild animal ingredients, and has a different taste and umami taste than highly poultry meat, but for wild vegetables...... In high-grade cuisine, there are still relatively few applications!

After Liu Pleiades fished out the dry goods, the two sides began to process the shrimp almost at the same time, and both sides chose to peel the shrimp meat raw.

It is said that when peeling shrimp raw, it is most convenient to freeze them for a while and then peel them, and with the size of "Norwegian langoustin", it is perfectly possible to do so, but in order to ensure the taste, Erina still chooses fresh shrimp.

And this is not a problem for Erina, who took out the small carved knife from the kitchenware, only to see the "Norwegian langoustines" flipped in her hands and turned into whole Norwegian shrimp meat......

On the other side, Liu Pleiades is a double-knife shape, the right hand is a common boning knife when opening lobster shells, and the left hand is a small paring knife!

The paring knife, which is usually used when the vegetables and fruits are delicately processed, was used by Liu Pleiades on lobsters at this time......

Liu Pleiades once again showed his amazing knife skills, and he used a two-handed double knife to insert a paring knife into some joints to fix, and the boning knife pried open the hard shell of the lobster!

The two work together just right, the paring knife always uses skillful force to cut into the position where the boning knife needs the most force, and the shrimp shell on the back of the Dongshan lobster has been completely opened in a few clicks......

After that, the "active" and "driven" of the left and right hands were reversed, and the unedged side of the boning knife was fixed to fix the lobster, and the paring knife penetrated deep into the connection between the shrimp meat and the shrimp shell, and the knife went up.

In ancient times, there was a "cooker to solve the cow", and the emphasis was on "entering the room without thickness", but in fact, the kitchen knife could not be "no thick", and no matter how sharp the blade was, it was also thick, but the "intermittent" in the meat was not easy to grasp, so the kitchen knife could not blindly pursue close to the "no thickness", otherwise it would not only be inconvenient to exert force, but also easy to break the blade.

The paring knife is a typical knife that is not suitable for cutting meat, not only can not be forced, but also has to be curled in a few strokes, but in the hands of Liu Pleiades, it seems to have brought this "no thickness into the room" to the extreme, only when the paring knife can not be handled, the boning knife will become "active" again......

After a whole lobster is peeled out, the lobster meat can still be seen to be the shape of a lobster, and because the meat of the lobster is compact, it is faintly larger than the removed lobster shell after peeling it out!

The three judges couldn't help but be interested in being able to peel the raw lobster meat like this, especially Sawaguchi, who runs a sashimi restaurant, and couldn't help but say: "If someone in my family has this kind of knife skill, I must add a performance project and let him peel the lobster meat in front of the guests, and this cutscene just looks like a pleasure!" ”

"Editor-in-chief Chenghai, last time your magazine had a report about Hokkaido's seafood knife master, I don't know how the knife skills compare to the teenager in front of you?" River Logs asked.

"That sword master...... It shouldn't be possible! However, it is not known how well this student can handle several types of seafood and how well he can handle other seafood. Cheng Hai said after thinking about it.

But even so, there is no doubt that Liu Pleiades has used his knife skills again to attract the attention of the judges......

Even some of the viewers who couldn't help but ridicule after seeing Dongshan lobster before gritted their teeth.

However, just after Liu Pleiades peeled out the three lobsters, the lobster meat that had been removed from the sand line and still showed the shape of a lobster was mashed!

Obviously, the previous sword skills were just a show......
