Chapter 128: Complete Victory

"The word 'Fu' is wrapped in crushed sesame seeds made of cane sugar and glue syrup boiled and mixed with peeled sesame seeds...... Sesame chips are a famous snack with a long history in the Sichuan and Shu regions of China, and I also tasted the flavor of condensed milk and vanilla powder from it, which further balances the sweetness, so I think the original recipe has been improved, right? It becomes more suitable for the tomato peach kernel flour wrapped outside, and the slightly sour and slightly bitter coat sets off the sweetness of the sesame slices......"

"The word 'Lu' is a piece of peanut banana crisp, different from sesame slices, its prototype 'banana peanut butter toast' is a common Western-style dessert, vaguely in the taste of peanut butter, you can feel the unique fermented grain aroma of toast, it should be used in baking, but it is not put into the moon cake, in order to increase the sweetness, maltose is also added, right?"

"The chips in 'Shou' are based on 'Coconut Chocolate Almond Biscuits', a classic biscuit originating in Italy, although it is not made into biscuits, but it also uses the secondary baking skills of Italian biscuits! Almonds served with toasted shredded coconut are included in the peach kernel flour with fragrant honey......"

"The word 'Xi' is a European-style chocolate truffle originating in France, wrapped in walnut chips, and in order to maintain the characteristics of the truffle chocolate, there are scattered truffle crumbs inside!"

The four judges talked about the origin of the four fillings, and in a blink of an eye, the mooncakes in their hands had been eaten. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the judges tasted the moon cakes, they couldn't help but fantasize that they were wearing red belly pockets with the words "Fu", "Lu", "Shou" and "Xi", like four Fuwa, sending mooncakes to thousands of families in reunion......

In the reminiscence of "Shadowless Skin", Senzaemon seemed to feel the call of the moon from it, and in his mind he was wearing a gorgeous palace costume and was running towards the moon, and unconsciously made the gesture of "I want to fly......

I saw that after the commander-in-chief came back to his senses, he didn't feel embarrassed at all while dressing and arranging his hair, and said: "No, the most unique thing about this moon cake is precisely on the moon cake crust outside the filling!" ”

"That's right, it's the mooncake crust that controls the fillings and makes them a whole, which is the effect of sweet potato flour? But how can transparency be so high? ”

"And after baking, there is a unique softness, and the sweetness of sweet potatoes is also faintly revealed, even if there is no filling inside, just this transparent mooncake crust is enough to make people evocative......"

"In recent years, there are indeed transparent crystal skin moon cakes in moon cakes, but they use chemically treated modified starch as raw materials, and the taste is too glutinous, only for aesthetics, especially with nut fillings, which are completely incompatible, and this kind of transparent skin made only by sweet potato flour and flour is completely different! Even less transparent than ever. ”

"That's true, Liu Pleiades, how did you do it?"

Faced with the judges' doubts, Liu Pleiades only said: "It's very simple, as long as you pay attention to the strength and proportion when you mix the noodles, as well as the feel when you stretch and thin." ”

The other four judges all looked entangled, obviously feeling that Liu Pleiaus's statement was completely prevarication.

However, at this time, Senzaemon said, "That's true, I once saw a similar technique in the hands of a pastry master. ”

"Difficult, is it the master?" Anthy exclaimed.

Babalov seemed to suddenly remember something: "That one? It is...... One of those two veterans of the Dragon Chef Alliance? ”

On the other hand, Saitama and Ryuuji, who were on the side of the partner, were puzzled: "What is one of the two elders?" Isn't the top of the Dragon Chef Alliance the representative of the 27 three-star Chinese restaurants? ”

Senzaemon interrupted, "Alright, let's make a judgment!" ”

Liu Pleiades heard some meaning from it, it seemed that the "Master Jie" also had a high status in the Dragon Chef Alliance, but many people who were not in the core of the culinary world did not know him.

At the same time, it can also be seen that in the Dragon Chef Alliance, there is also a veteran with the same status as "Master Jie"!

As for the outcome of the competition, it doesn't matter anymore......

Just when the judges were immersed in the "special five-kernel mooncake", Liu Pleiades handed the sixth mooncake to Takmi.

Even without judging, Takmi knew he had lost!

There is still an essential gap between his own lemon snow cake and Liu Pleiades' special five-kernel mooncake.

"Eight into four fourth, the winner, Liu Pleiades!" The commander-in-chief wrote the name of Liu Pleiades on a huge scroll.

"That's right, although Takmi's 'Lemon Snow Hidden Cake' is also a classic, it is really a 'special five-kernel' mooncake, which left a deeper impression on me!"

"It's not just an impression, but after eating, I want to go home and spend the holidays with my family......"

"It's true that there are not a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know if I can order some mooncakes from Liu Pleiades in the future, and I don't have a project as a judge later, so it shouldn't be considered a bribe, right?"

"If that were the case, I would ...... too"

Several judges are already discussing, and then they will find Liu Pleiades to order a batch of "special five-kernel mooncakes".

And Liu Pleiades said to Takmi, who was looking up 45 degrees: "I'm sorry, if you want to find the truth and love to kill each other, you can only wait for next time." ”

"Your Chocolate Truffle Walnut Crumble...... It seems to go well on my 'Lemon Snow Cake'! Takmi sighed.

"The sweetness of chocolate truffles is too heavy, right? Doesn't it mask the taste of the snow layer? ”

"No, just add your tomato kernel flour!" Takmi said.

After that, he changed his tone and said: "Although I lost this time, don't think that you can be above me forever, next time...... Next time, I will definitely beat you with a more perfect dish! ”

“…… I think in terms of difficulty, you should still challenge Chuangzhen first. Liu Pleiades said with a mocking smile.

At this time, Rei Kawashima's voice on the radio did not guide everyone to exit in an orderly manner as usual, but announced: "So far, all the places in the semi-finals have been generated!" They are Kohei Chuangzhen, Kurokiba Ryo, Hayama Ryo and Liu Pleiades! Let's give warm applause to the four contestants who stood out in the first year! ”

At the same time, on the big screen, the treemap connection after the semi-finals has also been played!

"On the big screen, you can see that in next week's semi-finals, it will be Kohei Sojin vs. Liu Pleiades in the morning, and in the afternoon, Ryo Hayama will play Ryo Kurokiba...... At the same time, at this moment, the title of the two sets of battles will be announced at the same time, that is, 'Western-style main course'! Rei Kawashima directly announced the topic of the semi-finals.

The content of the two sets of battles is the same, and they are both more general topics "Western-style main course".

The biggest difference between the Western-style banquet, represented by French cuisine and Italian cuisine, and the Chinese banquet is that the dishes are served separately one by one, from appetizers to desserts, each dish has its own status, while the Chinese banquet is served with cold and hot dishes, which is counted as a whole.

In the Western banquet, the main dish is naturally the heaviest, whether it is the actual amount or the psychological weight, taking the more representative French cuisine in Western food as an example, usually the main dish is meat or seafood dishes, and in the larger banquet, it will be one of the two, which is counted as two main dishes.

Of course, the title of the semi-finals is "Western-style main course", which definitely refers to one dish, and one fish and one meat will definitely not add points!

It is precisely because of the difference between the integrated banquet of Chinese cuisine and the independent banquet of Western cuisine such as French cuisine and Italian cuisine, that the requirements of Chinese and Western cuisine for the main dish are also different.

If Chinese food is the main dish, it can also be understood as the "big dish" in a banquet, usually seafood or meat, but the main course of most Chinese food is not suitable for Western food......

For example, Dongpo meat, sweet and sour carp, roasted pheasant in snow winter, salted duck...... And so on these "big dishes" in Chinese cuisine, so that people only eat this one dish alone, and they can only change to the next one after eating, which is a little greasy when you think about it.

Because the "main dish" in Chinese cuisine is also a part of the banquet, it must be paired with cold dishes, soups, vegetable snacks, etc., to show its charm.

Of course, it's just that "most" of the big dishes of Chinese banquets, if taken out alone, are a little too "overbearing", but too rigid and easy to break, and some of the effects are similar to those of Western main dishes......

After hearing this topic, Liu Pleiades first focused on the choice of the general direction.

One is to choose Western dishes and improve them with Chinese cooking skills, and the "super one-star" cooking skills have made most of the massive recipes accumulated by Liu Pleiades able to be used!

Another option is to choose a dish that can take on the position of the Western-style main dish in the one-time recipe of "Chugoku Ichiban", and then use appropriate Western food techniques to improve the processing......

The former is easier to get off the hook and has more options, while the latter can play at a higher level!

It also means that the former is more conservative, while the latter is fighting for high scores.

After all, if Liu Pleiades chooses the second way, he will definitely choose from the recipes above the super three-star level.

Otherwise, Liu Pleiaus's own "super one-star" cooking skills, although he is the top in the overall annual life, is not only not outstanding among the four people in the semi-finals, but even a little "low", with the help of various stunts, it can barely be regarded as going hand in hand.

Although the interviewers of various magazines on campus were violently expelled by Liu Pleiades, someone came to the door on the afternoon after the first day had just decided the general direction......

"Ah Xing, there are guests downstairs!" Wen Xu shouted through the sound transmission channel.

Because he has not yet reached the steps of practicing cooking, Liu Pleiades is in his room, not the kitchen.

Liu Yuexing is wondering, isn't it because he was blown away by Wen Xu with a broom when he came to find himself at this time? Who could it be......

When I went downstairs, I found that it was none other than Erina Nagikiri!

Liu Pleiades wanted to complain about Wen Xu's behavior of bowing his head like an underworld force, but he saw Wen Xu behind Erina's back, giving himself a thumbs up, and showing a hearty smile, as if the dog's teeth would flash!

From this smile, Liu Pleiades seemed to see a bad friend who was encouraging him to pursue the goddess...... (To be continued.) )
