Chapter 256: The Banquet Begins
"Welcome to the 'Eel Banquet' organized by my 'Far Moon Training Hokkaido Branch' in your busy schedule, as you believe you all know, just this morning, our department auctioned off the giant eel that was caught yesterday at a high price......
The eel feast was about to begin, and Hiroi was giving an opening speech on the main stage......
Well, Liu Pleiades is actually very suspicious of the so-called "busy schedule", if it is before he crosses over, everyone here is considered to be the upper class of society, and participating in this kind of dinner party is indeed a performance of face for the host's family, but in this world...... In fact, in their opinion, the main purpose of coming is to taste the taste of giant eel, right?
After all, this thing may be able to taste once in a lifetime. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This "eel feast" uses the form of a Western-style banquet, which is similar to the buffet!
There are already many Hokkaido specialties and sweets, as well as many other regional delicacies on the tables.
Although it was an eel feast, we all know that today's protagonist is a giant eel, but it is clear that other foods are served at the banquet as well.
After all, there are more than 200 guests, and the giant eel also has other functions after that, such as a large part of the profits, to share the profits with other institutions in the far moon, and to leave research samples.
What was really used for this dinner was about 150 catties of eel meat......
But it's enough, after all, there are two hundred guests, and the average is half a catty per person!
Hiroi talked for a long time, and finally stuck to the topic: "...... This time, in addition to the professionals from the 'Yuanyue Central Gourmet Organization', we also invited Liu Maoxing, the ninth of the ten masters of Yuanyue Academy, who happened to be in charge of the grade assessment in Hokkaido, and spontaneously took charge of the cooking!
It is worth mentioning that the 'professionals' of the Far Moon Central Food Agency are actually a group of students...... Once again, on behalf of the Yuanyue Group, I sincerely hope that you will be satisfied with the cuisine of the representatives of the Yuanyue Central Gastronomy Institute and the Yuanyue Academy. ”
Tsk, so there is a kind of old woman who is a terrible creature, and Liu Pleiades has been prepared for this kind of preparation since he heard people call him "Ms. Hiroi" instead of "Mrs. Hiroi"!
Sure enough, this so-called opening speech focused on how to argue that the culinary representatives of the "Central Gastronomy Agency" and the "Far Moon Academy" were "students", and implicitly pressed them into their respective positions representing the "Central Gastronomy Agency" and the "Far Moon Academy".
The more than two or three hundred guests present were obviously also very interested in the students of the "Central Food Agency", who had been active in various rumors recently, as well as the ten masters of the Yuanyue students.
And at this moment, Liu Pleiades didn't know when he would also come on stage, and took over the microphone in Hiroi's hand......
Guangjing hesitated, but did not refuse, after all, Liu Pleiades is one of the top ten masters, and there is nothing wrong with him giving a speech now!
It's just a little doubtful, in her expectation, Liu Pleiades should be sad now, waiting for the moment of "going out of the ocean......
"Ahem, hello everyone, I'm Liu Yuexing. I have a good relationship with Hokkaido, and it was my first time in the news when I won the Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest half a year ago...... Haha, okay, after that, let's enjoy the banquet prepared for you by the 'Togetsu Academy's Central Gourmet Branch' before you and the students of the 'Yuanyue Academy's Central Gourmet Organization' bring you the food! ”
When Liu Pleiades handed Mike back to Hiroi, looking at him with a smile, Hiroi couldn't help but glance at him angrily.
Obviously, I also heard that Liu Pleiades was deliberately reiterating that the Central Food Organization and Yuanyue Training are both subordinate institutions of Yuanyue Academy...... In Hiroi's previous words, he was indeed confusing this concept.
After Liu Pleiades stepped down, when he passed by Lian Nantaro's side, the latter whispered beside him: "Hmph, what's the use of being so fast?" Wait, you're still going to lose an adult as the 'Ten Heroes of the Far Moon'! Maybe at this time, the 'Central Food Agency' and the 'Far Moon Academy' will be juxtaposed, and you will be able to look better on your face! ”
"Hehe, think clearly, this is a large buffet banquet...... You don't have much opportunity to use the power of the 'demon', who gave you the illusion that you can make me 'ashamed'? ”
After Liu Pleiades finished speaking, he walked back to his cooking table......
That's right, at this time, Liu Pleiades and the students of the central gastronomic organization will cook in the banquet hall!
They are in the left and right positions of the main stage.
Among them, Liu Pleiades only occupies a large personal cooking table, while on the side of the central food agency, there are more than a dozen people who use a combination cooking table, or a cooking area, and the momentum is indeed much greater than that of Liu Pleiades.
Hiroi apparently made this arrangement temporarily, and as if he had made a special effort to whet people's appetites, he did not prepare the giant eel before the banquet, but prepared other delicacies and drinks for the guests to enjoy, and after the banquet began, Liu Pleiades and the people from the central gastronomic organization began to cook on the spot......
For this form, although Liu Pleiades felt that Hiroi had ulterior motives, the guests, including Mr. Horikoshi, did not seem surprised!
Obviously, this is indeed a very common way of feasting...... This is especially true at banquets where you can enjoy special food ingredients.
And this form of on-the-spot cooking is also a manifestation of the customer's respect for the chef and the special ingredients, and it is not a "monkey" mentality.
In addition, Liu Pleiades has already made a bamboo in his chest, so he naturally will not refuse.
After the feast begins, most of the guests have been paying attention to the cooking process of the giant eels on both sides after picking up some appetizers, aperitifs or desserts......
Some guests are talking to each other in the banquet hall, after all, they are all in the culinary world, and communicating with each other during the banquet is also one of the meanings of the existence of the banquet, but at the same time, they all glance at Liu Pleiades from time to time.
There are also some gourmets who don't care much about the "familiar socialization" that takes place at this time, and they all stay at a certain distance at this time to ensure that it will not affect the chefs, and at the same time, they surround Liu Pleiades and the people of the central food agency......
By the way, there is also a group of people surrounding Erina.
As the tenth seat of the Ten Masterpieces, and also a blood relative of the Nagi family, Erina is naturally also in the "guest" column, and at the same time, Scarlet Shazi and Yu Mei are also qualified to sit as Liu Pleiades and Erina's assistants, and they are all by Erina's side at this time.
Whether it is Erina's status as a "descendant of the Food Demon King" or her ability to "Tongue of God", it is natural that she will be another center of the banquet at this time.
However, at this time, Erina's attention is mostly on Liu Pleiades, and the scarlet sand around her is helping her cope with the people around her, while Yu Mei is learning the scarlet sand......
At this time, the giant eel has been lifted to the position of the main table, of course, there is also a liquid nitrogen refrigeration device on the main table to ensure the preservation time of the giant eel.
Although it is about to be cooked, even if it is not refrigerated, it is impossible to spoil so quickly, but after all, after all, it will be sent to all parts of the world, and even the Nordic "Far Moon International" has to send a copy over, so it is natural to extend the shelf life as much as possible.
The current temperature ratio is only slightly lower than zero, which is the optimal storage temperature when the cell activity of the giant eel has not been completely lost......
"Look, they're going up."
"Why is there only one person in that Ten Masters? Don't even bring an assistant? ”
"Is it the same habit as the one who sat first?"
"No way, half a year ago, I watched the final video of the 'Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest', and he had collaborators at that time! And now that Yuanyue's first-year student is in the Hokkaido grade assessment, his collaborators should also be there, right? ”
"It's true that it's a bit difficult for one person to cook such a large ingredient, and it's just the first part to divide the eel meat......
As the original recipient of the giant eel, the Hokkaido branch has the right to freely choose the part it wants to use without destroying its researchable parts.
At this time, the giant eel will naturally not be placed directly on the ground like a dead snake, but placed on a makeshift shelf, posing as if it is coiled in the air, and the white mist produced by liquid nitrogen refrigeration is like a "dragon in the clouds......
At the next moment, the gourmand who was worried about Liu Pleiades just now, and when he took the first step to "take materials", he would encounter difficulties, couldn't help but swallow the second half of the sentence back!
I saw Liu Pleiades take out a kitchen knife that doesn't look like a kitchen knife in terms of size, and it doesn't look like a kitchen knife for handling seafood in terms of appearance...... In short, the knife that looks like it is about to be dissolved in the next second, is standing on the side of the giant eel, and the "knife" that looks like a human length is wielding it like a dancing stick!
At the same time, with the other hand, he actually held the tray and caught the eel meat that was neatly divided and did not have any fish bones on it......
As for the people of the "central gastronomic organ...... There were six on the stage, with all kinds of tools for cutting large meat ingredients, and they stood on the other side in a daze!
At first, I was frightened by Liu Yuexing's seemingly rough knife skills and meticulous decomposition results, but then I came back to my senses and didn't dare to approach it immediately......
Although Liu Pleiades looks amazing at his knife skills, normal people will never want to get close to the past when someone is wielding such a "kitchen knife" on the opposite side!
Liu Pleiades is obviously confident in his knife skills, and dares to let his left hand hold the tray and reach out to the swing of the "kitchen knife", but it doesn't mean that others will trust him so much......
In case the hands get wet, it is estimated that their meat is lying on the tray!
Not long after, a large tray full of eel meat pieces with frost hanging on two layers was brought back to the cooking table by Liu Yuexing.
After he left, the talents of the central gastronomic agency began to draw materials...... (To be continued.) )
