Chapter 389: The Cycle of Life and Death Continues

"Please taste it!" Liu Pleiades and Xie Yunlong said to each other. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Xie Yunlong's dark circles were already dark and red......

What Liu Pleiades pushed in front of Xie Yunlong was a plate of pasta with red tomato juice, and in the tomato-based sauce, there were also pieces of "meat pieces".

And what Xie Yunlong pushed in front of Liu Pleiades was white steamed buns that were as crystal clear as jade...... Or maybe it's a bun!

Xie Yunlong picked up the Western fork and rolled up a strand of pasta, and the tip of the fork also poked a piece of meat, and Liu Yuxing also used chopsticks to pick up the white jade steamed bun and put it in his mouth......

At the moment when Liu Pleiades bit down, a stream of heat shot into Liu Pleias's mouth, which immediately made Liu Pleiades have the illusion that his mouth was full of soup!

Immediately afterwards, whether it was the strong "white jade dough" or the fragrant filling inside, Liu Pleiades lingered......

That's right, it's "fragrance"!

Liu Pleiades immediately felt that this white jade soup dumpling was a vegan filling, with the fragrance of asparagus and oyster mushrooms, as well as the mellow aroma of beans and soy products, which launched a charge against Liu Pleiaus's taste.

Soup dumplings?

Liu Pleiades couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because his opponent was Master Xie before, Liu Pleiades didn't dare to relax for half a minute, so he didn't pay much attention to Master Jie's cooking process, but had been busy with his "multiple vegetarian meat pasta......

Indeed, if you use dead noodles to make steamed buns, only "soup dumplings" is more suitable.

Usually the steamed bun skin is made of fermented "leavened dough", and the bun skin is usually fluffy after steaming.

However, the exception is obviously "soup dumplings", if the dough is used, the result is that the solidified soup will be absorbed by the bun skin after heating and melting, not only the "soup" is not, but the bun skin also becomes moist and tasteless......

Therefore, "soup dumplings" usually use dead noodles, or dead noodles are mixed with hot noodles and raised noodles to make skin.

Compared with pure dead noodles, it is more common to mix dead noodles with raised noodles and hot noodles.

However, for example, when opening soup dumplings, pure dead noodles are used, because the strength of the dead noodles can make the skin thinner, and there is no need to worry that the skin of the bun will break due to the soup.

What puzzled Liu Pleiades the most was Xie Yunlong's soup dumplings!

In general, the soup is placed and solidified into a "jelly" shape, or a specially made skin jelly, cut into small pieces and put a small piece in each bun, and then the soup jelly melts at a high temperature, and the soup soup bag will be filled with liquid soup.

But after Liu Pleiades tasted Master Jie's "White Jade Soup Dumpling", he immediately knew that the soup in it would definitely not be the product of meat jelly or soup coagulation......

That fragrant taste is clearly a vegan soup!

And according to the title, the use of "meat" is obviously not allowed.

No matter how long the vegan soup is, it is impossible to solidify, unless it is frozen at a low temperature under freezing......

However, if the method of freezing is used, the soup will be stratified due to different freezing points, and the taste will not be so cohesive.

Usually authentic soup dumplings are usually mutton or beef filling, and later there are also pork fillings and three fresh fillings.

There are rare soup dumplings with vegetarian filling, but they usually don't live up to their name!

Either in the vegetarian filling, the coagulation and ironing made of animal materials are added, or there is no "soup" effect at all, it is just an ordinary vegetarian bun with relatively high humidity and sufficient moisture in the filling.

But Xie Yunlong's "White Jade Soup Dumpling" is obviously not the case......

Because he knows that for the "comfort" chef, it is better to use "fake meat" than "no meat"!

With Liu Pleiaus's sense of taste and sensitivity to ingredients, he immediately reacted and said secretly: I see! It's a cauliflower!

Rock cauliflower is a kind of algae that grows on coral reefs, which is not only used to make pickles and cold vegetables, which is refreshing and refreshing, but also rich in colloids, and is one of the raw materials used to make "cold powder".

At the same time, the colloidal substance in the cauliflower can be dissolved after boiling, and then this liquid is added to the soup to form a colloidal block of vegetarian soup!

Moreover, the asparagus and mushrooms that are used as the fillings of the white jade soup dumplings are not completely "filling", but are cut into small "dices", which is also different from the delicate and tough filling of ordinary soup dumplings......

In the traditional soup dumplings, the hallmark of the best beef filling is that the extremely delicate beef filling is pinched down, which can be stretched and continuous in the hand like dough.

However, the filling of Master Xie's "White Jade Soup Dumpling" can make people think that they are not eating soup dumplings, but drinking a bowl of warm asparagus and oyster mushroom soup!

The fragrant asparagus and fluffy oyster mushrooms are chewed together in the mouth along with the delicious soup, and a burst of unique taste enjoyment of vegetarian food fills Liu Pleiades's mind.

I see! Vegetarian ...... Because "vegetarian meat" is more unfavorable to "comfort" than real vegan ingredients, "vegetarian meat jelly" is used to compare the "vegetarian meat" in the title, and then in the finished product, "vegetarian meat jelly" has become soup......

Liu Yuexing understood Master Xie's thoughts.

At the same time, I also guessed that the impact of "vegetarian meat" on Xie Yunlong should be greater than I imagined, right?

However, now the other party does use the "vegetarian meat jelly" button, although there is no vegetarian meat in the final product

It is enough to give full play to the effect of part of the "comforting" kitchen heart. Jelly, but judging from the fact that the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" did not terminate on its own, it is true that this is recognized by the rules......

Liu Pleiades also felt that the fragrance of the bamboo shoot mushroom soup filled with white jade soup dumplings carried a reassuring breath, as if an incense burner was burning with soothing incense in front of him......

The power of "comforting" cooking heart is not as good as using meat in vegetarian ingredients, but at least it is better than using vegetarian meat!

Because of the most important sincerity of "comforting the soul", at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and when Zhuge Liang returned to the dynasty after the southern expedition, it was the resentful spirits of the barbarians who died in the southern expedition that confused the river, and the use of "steamed bread" to replace the "barbarian" was to prevent further expansion of casualties, so although "steamed bread" was also "fake" in real terms, it also reflected sincerity......

In contrast, the use of "vegetarian meat" as a sacrifice is completely based on personal likes and dislikes in "burning newspapers on the grave", and naturally it will not pass the test in "sincerity".

The simple use of vegetarian ingredients, although the effect is not as good as the use of meat, but it does not contain a deceitful heart, and naturally the effect of "comforting the soul" is better than that of vegetarian meat.

While indulging in "white jade soup dumplings", Liu Pleiades also kept recalling in his heart his "multiple vegetarian meat pasta"!

The sauce base of Liu's golden pasta is similar to that of Isami's performance at the autumn trials, that is, when the sauce is boiled, not a single drop of extra water is used, but the juice oozing from the tomato is completely used......

However, unlike Isami, Liu did not use the method of directly heating the tomatoes in the deep soup pot to quickly soften and precipitate the tomato juice, but slowly heated them over low heat at a low temperature of 60 degrees.

First, it is to reduce the sharpness of the taste of tomato juice, and secondly, the lycopene in tomatoes has a better effect on scavenging free radicals than carotenoids and vitamin E, which will decompose at high temperatures and is not suitable for long-term high-temperature heating.

The tomato juice is then divided into two parts, one is made from the clear tomato juice to make the meat stock, and the other is kept with the soft tomatoes as the final sauce......

Xie Yunlong did not directly use vegetarian meat because of the "comforting" cooking heart, but Liu Pleiades did not have this kind of restriction, his "source cuisine" and "sun" cooking heart were originally very universal skills!

Whether it is a plant or an animal, they will directly or indirectly obtain the power of the sun......

In particular, the tomato juice as the base was also deliberately chosen by Liu Yuexing.

Tomato is a light-loving crop, although the requirements for sunshine are very flexible, but the abundant sunshine is the guarantee of quality and yield, so the world only the California region, the Mediterranean region and China's Xinjiang Inner Mongolia, is the world's concentrated production area of tomatoes!

The tomato base is even more able to saturate the power of the "sun".

Therefore, Liu Pleiades chose the most common way to make "vegetarian meat", that is, to use real meat stock to add flavor to vegetarian meat.

There are five kinds of soup stock that Liu Pleiades chooses, and if it weren't for the lack of time, Liu Pleiades would probably choose the top soup or clear soup......

One of the five types of broth is beef broth, which is made with beef and beef bones, accompanied by onions, raw chives and star anise; The two are chicken broth, which is referred to in chicken top soup; The third is bone broth, which is made of pork bones and chicken bones as the main ingredients; The fourth is mutton broth, with mutton, mutton bones and haggis as the main ingredients, accompanied by angelica, cinnamon, grass fruit, tangerine peel and almonds to balance the fishy smell, and at the same time make the fishy smell set off a faint medicinal fragrance; The fifth is ham broth, which is made of Jinhua ham and scallops, which is the most suitable for hanging soup!

Although Liu Pleiades makes pasta, in the sauce and side dishes, it refers to the most orthodox Chinese cuisine...... Dashi dish!

From beginning to end, in addition to the ingredients, only natural spices were used, not the slightest artificial seasoning, and grinding spice powder, even if it was salt, it was only the salt in Jinhua ham!

After that, Liu Pleiades prepared to roll together bean skin, dried bean curd, and bean dregs in different proportions, and then roll them tightly on the outside with sterile gauze, and then put the whole into the broth and boil.

The "vegetarian meat" made from five different proportions of soy products simulates the texture of beef, chicken, pork, lamb and ham, and is also soaked in five kinds of broth!

After that, add another part of tomato juice to the traditional Italian spices such as basil, oregano leaves, and thyme, and then boil until the juice is reduced, and the tomato juice is mixed with the soft tomato underneath until it can be presented as a sauce.

Finally, five different types of vegetarian meat are mixed with tomato sauce and poured over the cooked golden pasta......

This is also one of the reasons why Liu Pleiades chose pasta instead of traditional Chinese hot noodles, although the "vegetarian meat" has a texture and taste close to meat at this time, but their taste is foreign after all, if it is cooked with noodle soup, the taste will definitely disperse into the soup, and if you use those broths directly, the taste will be heavy!

Therefore, what Liu Pleiades can choose is bound to be a dish that does not need to be cooked after the "vegetarian meat" is made.

The pasta can be eaten directly with sauce, and Liu Pleiades has added some tomato juice to the broth, so the taste of "vegetarian meat" can be harmoniously carried even if it has not been cooked with the sauce of the back tomato base......

If Xie Yunlong's "consolation" is to comfort the dead, then Liu Pleiades's "sun" is the nourishment of the living!

The five kinds of "vegetarian meat" pasta, because of different combinations in taste, have countless changes, in Xie Yunlong's heart, under the sun, countless creatures in the world to survive the scene, full of thousands of frost heaven competition free meaning......

Life and death, at this moment, in the hearts of Liu Pleiades and Xie Yunlong, are constantly turning.

The weakness of the "consolation" chef's heart in the culinary duel is once again revealed.

Although the recipes of the Bailuo family are also very delicious for ordinary people to taste, the feeling brought by the "consolation" kitchen heart is also liked by many emperors......

However, in the "Cooking Showdown", if you encounter more energetic and vibrant dishes, the effect of "Soothing Soul" will be at a disadvantage!

Of course, no matter how vigorous and energetic an ordinary chef is, he can't be Xie Yunlong's opponent...... It's just that in this way, it will be easier to dissipate the emotions in people's hearts that are stimulated by the "consolation" kitchen.

For example, during the "China Banban" period that year, when Xie Lu played against Logan on the Loulin ship, Xie Lu's "golden smile" took advantage of Rogan to a large extent!

Xie Lu's attributes are biased towards the vigorous and cheerful kitchen heart, which suppresses the effect of Logan's "soul-solving" kitchen heart......

This kind of suppression is not because of restraint, in fact, the two kitchen heart attributes are relative, not mutually restrictive, and the reason for this effect is that the judges are also alive!

If they were to settle the grievances of southern Xinjiang back then, it is estimated that a few "golden laughter" would continue, accompanied by a mocking half-"giggle" laughter, and the entire river would have to boil.

And now this kind of "life and death" duel is once again reproduced in the hearts of Liu Pleiades and Xie Yunlong......

At the same time, in terms of the legendary kitchenware, Liu Pleiades guessed that Xie Yunlong should now be able to use the role of the Demon Saint Bronze Ware that has become a "cursed kitchenware......

However, there are no dry ingredients that need to be soaked in Liu Pleiaus's cooking room, and the fermentation of noodles is also forbidden by "dead noodles", so that the effects of "perfect reproduction" and "accumulation multiplication" of the Demon Saint Bronze have no room to play!

On the contrary, after Liu Pleiades had the final duel with Paul before, the role of the "greedy wolf pot" absorbed by the "dragon pattern jade dragon pot" was still there, and Liu Pleiades designed the shape of soy products that can give full play to the taste of meat, and then used the power of the "greedy wolf pot" to cut it perfectly......

It can be said that after having the power of the "greedy wolf pot", Liu Pleiades's knife skills can only be described as unpredictable, and Liu Pleiades's knife skills were a little less popular than Xie Yunlong and Lin Yi, but now they have surpassed a cut!

Although even so, Liu Pleiades is undoubtedly inferior to Xie Yunlong's overall cooking skills, but at the beginning, he abolished the old Shu Han noodles that understood Yunlong, as well as all the skills of using "noodles", and then used "vegetarian meat" to limit the play of "comforting the soul" kitchen, which made the gap between the two extremely narrow!

As if it were a reenactment of the battle of noodles on the Lou Lin ship, Xie Yunlong's "White Jade Soup Dumplings" seemed to have the power to appease all the dead, while Liu Pleiades' "Multiple Sonata Vegetarian Meat Pasta" concentrated the praise of all the living in the world......

In the end, when Liu Yuxing opened his eyes, he saw that the surrounding environment had returned to normal little by little, and Master Xie's sturdy figure had slowly dried up.

The green muscles and red eyes, which are the sequelae of "cultivating immortals", have disappeared, but the black circles under the eyes are only a little darker, and the face is pale, and they look exhausted...... No, it's exhausted.

That's right, just now, whether it was Liu Yuexing or Xie Yunlong, they all got their own answers in their hearts!

In the end, the praise of the living goes beyond the comfort of the dead......

Seeing that Master Xie suddenly shook, as if he was about to fall, Liu Pleiades quickly rushed over in one step, and Master Xie hugged him.

"Solve the old? Are you alright? ”

Thinking of the previous scene where Paul fainted directly after the failure of the "Dark Cuisine Duel", Liu Pleiades couldn't help but be a little worried!

You must know that Liu Pleiades was trying his best to restrain himself at that time, if Liu Pleiades lost, it would definitely not be as simple as fainting.

And yet now...... Although Paul is not young, he is in the prime of life compared to Master Xie, and he is very ...... Ahem, it is the phenomenon of exhaustion, which appears in the elderly, which is very dangerous in the first place!

Suddenly, Liu Yuexing saw Xie Yunlong's eyelids move, and hurriedly said, "Xie Lao? Do you want me to get a pen with you, you write the will first...... Lest you not be able to explain it later! ”

"Do you believe in leaving a message of death and drawing a picture of the Pleiades?" Xie Yunlong said angrily.

“……”

Facts have proved that although Master Xie is at least a year older than Paul, in terms of physical fitness, Paul may not be as good as Master Jie!

After making sure that Master Xie was fine, Liu Yuxing also gave up the idea of continuing to recall the more than 800 episodes of Conan he had watched and assisting himself in forging an alibi.

After all, Liu Pleiades didn't know whether the death in the "Dark Cuisine Duel" was manslaughter......

"That's right! Elder Xie, if there is nothing to do, can I take a look at your 'Demon Saint Bronze'? Liu Yuxing said suddenly.

Because Xie Yunlong didn't have the opportunity to use the ability of the "Demon Saint Bronze" before, Liu Pleiades's "Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Cauldron" did not include the function of the "Demon Saint Bronze".

Although Xie Yunlong had just lost, he didn't seem to have any psychological burden......

After all, he has lived through an era, and his old man has already seen through the victory and defeat, and if there is no "curse" effect, he doesn't care about these at all.

This is also one of the reasons why he found out that he was in Liu Pleiades because of the existence of the "Comfort Spirit" kitchen heart, and he actually felt the "desire to win", and suddenly felt that it was an incredible thing, and then had doubts about his state.

Xie Yunlong was also very surprised now, he could actually use the true power of the "Demon Saint Bronze Vessel", and it seemed that these dragon chefs were also blessed by misfortune......

However, he was still a little worried and said, "I've really cleared the curse now, right?" ”

"It should be like this, according to Master Xu Ling......

"Then your dragon pattern jade dragon cauldron, can it be transferred?" Xie Yunlong asked with a serious face.

"Unfortunately, it can't be ...... And I'm not going to 'transfer' that responsibility. Liu Pleiades shrugged.

Obviously, Xie Yunlong, like the "two" Liu Pleiades, also has extraordinary self-confidence, believing that he will have a higher success rate than others when he makes a move against other dragon chefs.

Even if he just lost to Liu Yuexing, it did not shake Xie Yunlong's self-confidence in the slightest.

Not to mention that this victory and defeat were originally formed in the downward direction of many objective conditions, even if the objective conditions are not considered, the self-confidence of Xie Yunlong, or all the top chefs, is no longer something that can be shaken by winning or losing once or twice.

"Solve the old ...... Tell me about the other dragon chefs! Liu Yuxing said suddenly.

Paul's mental state was not very good before, and his usual dealings with other dragon chefs were limited to communication, and he was not good enough to learn from each other, although he was able to become a dragon chef, Paul's "greed" for cooking was undoubted, but after becoming a dragon chef and the president of the Michelin Food Federation, he was destined to have fewer opportunities to learn from others.

Xie Yunlong is different......

This cargo has been roaming the world for decades...... Liu Pleiades believes that while he cares for the younger generation of women, he will definitely find some celebrity chefs to learn from him!

Liu Pleiades also asked Paul a similar question before, and Paul's answer was that he was not very clear about other people, but he said that Xie Yunlong was the opponent he was most unsure of......

Because when he first became a dragon chef, Xie Yunlong had an anonymous duel with him in private, although it was not long after Paul became a dragon chef, but now that he recalls it, he also feels that Xie Yunlong should be very strong at that time!

"Other dragon chefs? Actually, I knew them before they became Dragon Chefs...... In addition to Lin Yi and Seiichiro, after they became Dragon Chefs, I also studied with them, especially Lin Yi, I often talked to him. Xie Yunlong said.

Looking at Liu Yuexing's nervous appearance, Xie Yunlong couldn't help but say, "Don't be nervous, but don't be too optimistic...... In fact, after becoming a dragon chef, everyone has the same strength, and at most they develop in the 'width' of the cuisine! If you can defeat Paul and me, you will theoretically have the strength to defeat the other dragon chefs...... At the same time, there is also the possibility of losing to any of the Dragon Chefs! ”

"You can't be humble all the time, are you? I've heard President Paul say that he said...... He's the least sure ......"

"Yes! The most that any dragon chef has is 'unsure' is different! Xie Yunlong said.

After that, Xie Yunlong also spent an afternoon to introduce Lin Yi and Chengichiro's basic characteristics in cooking to Liu Yuexing, which can also be seen that Xie Yunlong's physique is indeed better than Paul's, and he even made a few snacks to eat, drink, and talk ......

But at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yuexing began to wander again, and Xie Yunlong, who knew the reason, did not urge him, but drank by himself.

Until Liu Yuexing's mobile phone rang......
