Chapter 231: The Ninth Seat!
"Hmm! I have to say that the mellow aroma of the soup contained in this rice alone is already fascinating! ”
"But sure enough, Ruishan still didn't solve the problem of soup leakage, and chose a relatively light local chicken soup, and it was filtered oil, but it was ......"
"But the rice is quite oily, but it doesn't feel greasy...... I know! It is a chicken fat made by smearing chicken skin in the inner cavity of the local chicken where the rice is cooked! ”
"Indeed, in this way, the flavor of Satsuma chicken can be perfectly combined with rice!"
"The white cut chicken, which is the 'protagonist' of this dish, is also evocative just by eating it empty, and the chicken is stewed just right, with a soft and waxy texture that is delicate and wild...... The mellow aftertaste continues to come out after swallowing! ”
"The sauce on it is also specially blended...... Is this the use of some of the offal of Satsuma chicken? ”
"There are also three sauces that go well...... Chilean chili oil, ginger ale and Thai soy sauce can each be poured on top of the original sauce to form a different flavor, but they all match the meat quality of Satsuma chicken. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Through cooking, has the value of the best local chicken been pushed to a higher level? Worthy of ...... Alchemist. ”
"It seems that Ruishan's cooking skills are not as 'degenerate' as imagined."
"Not only is there no degradation, obviously he has not been idle in the year after he became a top ten!"
"Wait! It's ......"
"This scent ......"
"It's Satsuma chicken, but it's not the 'Thai steamed chicken rice' in front of you, it's ......"
Just when the other nine ten masters commented on the advantages of Ruishan's "Thai Steamed Chicken Rice", they suddenly had a rich and fragrant smell, which made them get rid of their addiction to "Thai Steamed Chicken Rice".
At this time, they realized that the "Thai steamed chicken rice" in front of them had already eaten half of it before they knew it...... The commander-in-chief almost took off his pants!
Kuga and Erina's faces were a little ugly, and the female Kijima Fusuke and Isshiki Hui still had the same expressions, the former looked dumbfounded, and the latter had a smile on his face......
They were clearly "on guard" before!
Because they knew that Ruishan must have borrowed the "demon" of the kitchen heart of Nagi cut thistle to a certain extent, several people originally prepared to carefully taste the taste of Ruishan's cuisine and try not to be affected by the "demon", but apparently after the food was eaten, they forgot about it......
Compared with the previous commander-in-chief, there is no joy or sorrow, if the kitchen heart can simply use personal will to erase its role, then what is the meaning of existence?
The commander-in-chief continued to tie his trousers without joy or sorrow, and put on his clothes......
Kitchen heart is the way the chef presents his own will on the plate, not so simple!
However, Liu Pleiades obviously also saw this, and when the judges were halfway through eating, Liu Pleiades knocked open ten still hot "mud balls"!
Accompanied by ten puffs of hot air, a rich and fresh aroma diffused in the ring, attracting the attention of the judges......
In the hearts of several judges, a hideous demon with all the bones exposed could be seen, carefully bewitching them, and they didn't even notice it before that!
Liu Pleiaus, who spied on this point with "super vision", couldn't help but secretly say: "Sure enough, it is different from those mass products in the 'end-of-season assessment' of Far Moon Resort!" The 'demons' of Ruishan are not like those mass products, who only know how to conquer diners, but will be bewitched in subtle ways? Some of them are like ...... The 'demon' that lurks in Erina's body! ”
The cooking effect of the naginagi thistle has been lurking in Erina's body for so many years, and no one has noticed it, and it doesn't seem to work in normal times, but after the appearance of the nagi thistle, Erina was immediately controlled by the deep fear......
However, at this moment, after the attention of the judges of Liu Pleiades was aroused, they quickly peeled out the ten chickens called Huahua, and cut them with a quick knife, and the whole chicken was cut into various parts that were easy to access, stacked on a plate, and presented to the ten judges.
"Let's try my food! I call it 'the battle chicken in the flower chicken'! Liu Pleiades smiled.
"Called the battle chicken in the flower chicken?" Apparently more than one judge or student thinks the name is full of slots.
"Well, just smelling it...... Hey? Why is Erina's plate different from ours? Ahem...... Well, it's fine. After a long time, I swallowed back halfway through my words, under the forced gaze of Liu Pleiades.
Because the seats are in the order of the ten masters, the ninth seat is not there, so naturally it is the eighth seat of Kuga next to Erina on the far right.
Hearing the words of Teruki Kuga, the others couldn't help but look over, and saw that the chicken on Erina's plate was different from the classification and placement of other people, but was arranged in a heart shape, and other vegetables and fruits for decoration were also used as decorations for "hearts......
Erina glared at the others in shame, and everyone withdrew their gaze with different expressions......
As for the commander-in-chief...... The commander-in-chief chose not to be out of sight and out of mind, and he was already about to taste the food!
The ten judges began to taste the "called flower chicken" in front of them, and after the chicken with both fragrance and strong fragrance in the mouth, Ruishan ...... No, it should be said that it is the "demonic" kitchen heart of Nagi thistle, and finally it can no longer be hidden, and it seems that it wants to use tougher means to convince the hearts of diners!
"Demons" are a rare and universally applicable culinary heart, and most dishes can be used as a vehicle to express this will...... It will make diners think that dishes with "demons" are the best tasting and can conquer their hearts the most.
After all, whether it is delicious or not is a subjective judgment, and although the judges will never think that the dish is "the most delicious" because they only taste it once, it will have this effect for a certain period of time......
And the "halberd" is timed, and when Ruishan presents the food, most of the moon has disappeared from the skylight on the roof of the shed, and it is determined that Liu Pleiades cannot be separated for too long.
It can be said that it is another kind of kitchen heart that is very suitable for "eating halberds"!
Why say "again"? Naturally, it's because the "Shura" that Liu Pleiades is now copying is also suitable for 'eating halberds'!
Moreover, the "demon" of Nagi thistle also has some "subtle" effects, which make diners gradually more accepting of his cooking, while Joichiro's "Shura" is all the points added to the cooking duel, which is more simple and rough than the "demon", and the fighting spirit is fierce.
It also has the characteristics of universal applicability and can fit with most dishes, so Liu Pleiades gave the name of "the fighting chicken in the flower chicken" for the dish in front of him......
Under Liu Pleiaus's "super vision", it can be seen that at the same time that the "demon" was forced to appear, the "Shura" also appeared beside it, and directly fought irritably, and finally "died together".
Liu Pleiades understands that this is the effect of the two kitchen hearts canceling out!
I couldn't help but muttered to myself: "Seeing that the 'demon' carefully planted by Nagi Cutting Thistle on Ruishan's body is slightly stronger than the 'Shura' that I copied with all my might?" Because Shura is the best at normal confrontation, it directly counteracts the effect of the 'demon'......"
In this way, although Liu Pleiades was surprised by the strength of the naginata's kitchen heart when it was "parasitic", he was also relieved, since the effect of the kitchen heart was offset, then in the pure taste of the dish, Liu Pleiades is still confident!
And Ruishan is also confident, and Liu Pleiades's behavior of using all the "messy" spices and ingredients to cook Satsuma chicken, and even using pork loin, is the biggest failure of the other party......
"Although the 'mud shell' is a little strange, it actually creates a fragrance similar to the earth, and the soil does not have a mixed fragrance......"
"Well, sure enough, this is the foundation of Angelica Angelica, not ginger, but it is also a slightly spicy Chinese medicine ......"
"And those 'stones' are actually resin Chinese medicines such as benzoin and suhexiang...... It has a tonic effect and is also a spice with a unique fragrance...... No wonder it's so easy to break. ”
"If the floral, fragrant and medicinal aromas act directly on the Satsuma chicken, it will either be completely covered by the spices in the local chicken, or it will confuse the taste of the chicken itself, but now after the 'filtration' of the fresh lotus leaves, this fragrance is just right to adhere to the chicken......"
"And the spice stuffing inside...... In this regard, the most primitive method of calling the flower chicken is still followed, and the spices are only put into the inner cavity of the whole chicken, and will not be smeared on the outside. ”
Hearing Issehui talk about spice fillings, Ruishan immediately said, "Wait! This is his downfall, right? Adding pork loin to the seasoning sauce will ruin the unique flavor of the local chicken, and it can't be compared to my perfect blend, right? ”
"Well, that's theoretical, but ......," Kobayashi Gentian said, putting another piece of chicken thigh meat in his mouth, and the expression on his face was like a kitten stealing fish.
"Theoretically? What do you mean! Ruishan's expression gradually changed, showing his strong talent for "face art".
But it's a pity that Liu Pleiades didn't leave a copy for the other party at all this time......
After all, in Liu Pleiades' opinion, Ruishan is not a chef at all, and even he himself does not admit that he is a chef, and with the help of other people's cooking intentions, this method also makes Liu Pleiades hate!
What the? Liu Pleiades also "borrowed" Joichiro's kitchen heart? If someone doubts it like this, Liu Pleiades will definitely tell him: This is what I borrowed by my own ability! What counts as cheating?
Indeed, in the hearts of other chefs who know the inside story, they don't think there is anything wrong with Liu Pleias's approach, in their opinion, Liu Pleiades should have a special kitchen heart that can replicate other chefs' hearts......
And Ruishan's kitchen heart is the real "wrong way"!
This means that the flavor of the pork loin in the ingredients does not spoil the flavor of the Satsuma chicken...... Another hidden flavor makes the two come together very cleverly. Isshiki said with a smile.
"Another hidden taste? What is it? Ruishan wondered.
Liu Pleiades didn't have a private collection, and I believe many people have already tasted it......
"It's tomato juice, and the slightly sour flavor of tomato juice reconciles the flavor of pork loin and Satsuma chicken, which are originally incompatible, because the amount is very small, and it is not added directly, so if you don't pay attention, you may not be able to taste it...... In addition, the glutamic acid in tomatoes will also react with the creatine acid of local chickens and the orninet acid of fungi, so that the flavor will increase as if it were multiplied. Liu Pleiades said.
"Tomato juice? When...... Yes, a separator? Eizama's expression changed color more and more.
"That's right, I brought the separated tomato liquid and mixed it into the water with the medicinal puree, because the pigment has been separated, so Senior Ruishan may not have seen it, right?"
Ruishan has always thought that it was a failed step for Liu Pleiades, but now it has become the other party's advantage, which makes this "alchemist" unable to remain calm anymore!
"Indeed, whether it is the medicinal paste on the outside or the spice filling on the inside, one is fragrant and the other is rich, and the two ...... No, it's two series of flavors, which are completely in harmony with the special flavor of Satsuma chicken...... But neither of these two is the most important, is it? Kobayashi Gentian said suddenly.
Ruishan glanced at Kobayashi Gentian expectantly, thinking that this senior sister, who had always behaved off the line, finally remembered which gang she was from, and knew that she had helped herself fight Liu Pleiades's cooking......
"The most amazing thing is the heat of this chicken! This kind of delicate meat quality and fullness of meat juice is definitely not something that can be achieved by brainless steaming and roasting! Even the reason why the two types of fragrance can be perfectly combined with Satsuma local chicken is also because of the staged grasp of the heat, which 'drives' the fragrance on the outside and releases the fragrance on the inside......"
"Indeed, it is obviously the same quality Satsuma native chicken, but Liu Pleiades's native chicken seems to be a little more tender! It's like juice is going to flow! ”
Kobayashi Gentian said with a fascinated look, as if he was about to moan, and at the same time suddenly grabbed a piece of divided bone-in chicken with his hand, put it in his mouth, deftly spit out a few chicken bones, and finally sucked the fingers one by one......
"Ahem!" Erina coughed violently a few times, and everyone thought she was going to say something, but then she didn't say anything again, and Liu Pleiades looked at her curtly.
Only then did he react, it should be the reason why Liu Pleiades had been staring at Xiaolin Gentian before!
Erina said secretly in her heart: What to see? This bastard! By the way, the last time I helped him "disinfect", his fingers seemed to still move? Is that what he does...... What do you mean by that word? What fetish?
"Alright, let's start the final review." Senzaemon said.
I saw that the ten judges were all in a state of thinking...... Erina was the first to press the button to vote for Liu Pleiades.
"Huh?" Liu Yuxing couldn't help but let out a soft sound.
It doesn't seem to be the same as the crushing result I expected?
"It seems that there are still some remnants of the effect of the 'demon' cooking heart...... What a scoundrel chef! Liu Pleiades muttered.
In fact, for the chefs who have personally experienced the "golden age" of Yuanyue Academy twenty years ago, Joichiro's savage Shura cooking heart is the real scoundrel!
In terms of effect, the role of "Shura" is to interfere with the other party's cuisine, usually this kind of cooking heart, it must be served first to be useful, otherwise the other party's cuisine has already touched the hearts of diners, and then what is the use of interference?
However, as the most confrontational and violent chef known, "Shura" can also play the role of negating the other person's food from the level of the diner's inner impression, even if he presents the food in the back hand......
When he and his son Xingping created a real food halberd, Joichiro's cooking heart directly made Liu Pleiades temporarily forget the taste of Chuangzhen's risotto, and only remembered it again in the afternoon.
If Ruishan didn't have a kitchen heart to resist, it is estimated that the judges would also have a vague impression of his "Thai steamed chicken rice".
However, now the judges' impression of "Thai steamed chicken rice" has not only not faded, but has a certain preference because of the residual effect of "demon".
The heart of the chef is the ultimate pursuit of the chef, and even for those who are really top chefs, it is their own will that they want to present to the diners, and the dish is the means of bearing, and the true meaning of the cuisine is in the chef's heart......
In contrast to this method, there are also some legends that Liu Pleiades heard from others before, which made him feel like his three views collapsed at that time, such as Marui once asked himself with great interest, when he was in his hometown, had he read any information about Wei Zheng......
"Wei Zheng? Be...... The famous face of the Tang Dynasty? Are you still interested in these? Liu Pleiades asked suspiciously, thinking that Marui was only interested in ancient cooking classics.
"Yes! In the legend, didn't he just use cooking to make the emperor feel his will many times, and the persuasion was successful? ”
“……”
Seeing Liu Yuexing's speechless appearance, Marui continued: "Is it really unrealistic? Indeed, legends are legends...... At that time, cooking skills were generally lower than they are now, and many cooking methods had not yet appeared, so it should be more difficult to have a kitchen heart, right? ”
Hey, hey, hey! That's not the point, is it? You should question this legend from other angles!
For example, Ryoko also told himself that in the legend, when Jing Ke presented the map of Yan to Qin Shi Huang, he also offered a fine wine brewed by the Yan royal family that symbolized submission, but the keen Qin Shi Huang discovered a trace of killing intent contained in it, which led to the failure of the assassination......
Well, at that time, it was Marui who refuted Ryoko, reasoning that it was possible to have a good sake that could contain the heart of a chef more than 2,000 years ago. It is generally believed in the culinary world that after the continuous improvement of sake brewing technology in the past few hundred years, it is possible for sake to contain the heart of the chef!
Ryoko accepted such a "scientific" explanation, but Liu Pleiades felt devastated......
Just when Liu Pleiades recalled these legends about the kitchen heart, the judges had already completed the final vote after careful consideration!
"The results appeared! Eight to two! The commander-in-chief's vote is 2, which means that the final score is 9 to 2! Liu Pleiades won the victory with a big score! It will be the new Ten Heroes! Let's give a round of applause to the new ninth seat! Rei Kawashima's voice rang out.
Kawashima Rei, who has always sold cute styles, was actually a little excited at this time......
Following the "Tongue of God" Erina, there is another Ten Masters in the year!
And not an appointment from the academy, but a rare acquisition of a seat by means of a frontal halberd!
And Ruishan Zhizu also sat on the ground in extreme disbelief......
Although they think of themselves as cooks, he is more sensitive to failure, especially this failure, which is still lost when Nagi used "off-the-field means" to help......
And not only did he lose the top ten seats, but it also meant that the long-planned plan of "winning the hand" by him and Nagi Jiji failed.
Ruishan couldn't help but stiffly look in the direction of the thistle, but found that the position was empty.
"Don't look, he's already gone when I deliver the food." Liu Pleiades said.
"You ...... guy"
Ruishan gritted his teeth at the same time, but also stared at his two votes, although the score is not high, but since it is not zero votes, it is surprising that the gap between the two is not essential.
At this time, the two also saw the votes of the judges, and the two votes of Eizan came from Saito Susuaki and Kuga Terumi respectively.
Liu Pleiades thinks it's normal, Ruishan's cooking skills are not as good as his own, but there is a "demonic" effect, and it is reasonable for some people to feel that his "Thai steamed chicken rice" is more delicious.
But Ruishan glared at Si Yingshi, Kobayashi Gentian and others, as if complaining, since he has "rebelled" for a long time, I have followed the rules, won't you all vote for me and win?
But Kobayashi Gentian and the others ignored him, only Si Yingshi, who usually behaved very cowardly, didn't dare to look at Ruishan's resentful eyes......
Liu Pleiades was about to end, but found that he couldn't do it at all!
Almost all the reporters of the school tabloids have been dispatched, and they have completely surrounded him before Liu Pleiades and Ruishan are talking......
"Hey, don't turn the flash on so much! My hypervisibility......"
I said...... Click...... What the...... Don't squeeze, who's shoving Mike into my mouth, believe it or not, I'm chewing it! ”
"This is a junior high school girl, right? You didn't bring a microphone to the interview, isn't it good to post the whole person? What the? Is your Mike pinned to the placket of your clothes? So ......" (To be continued.) )
