In Liu Pleiades's speculation about Lin Yi and the creation and improvement of his own recipes, a week has passed in a blink of an eye, and it has been Saturday, and although Liu Pleiades still did not go to the scene in order to prevent accidents, this time he couldn't help but turn on the TV!

After enduring the emcee's "long" opening remarks in Liu Pleiades' eyes, I finally saw the lineups of both sides. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Erina really "willful" chose "the past" as the topic of her battle.

On the side of the Inter-American Development Association, it is indeed Nagi Thistle who stands on the opposite side of the cooking field titled "The Past"!

At the same time, to Liu Pleiaus's surprise, Hiroshi Seto of the "Seed Team" did not participate in the three individual competitions this time...... In the "Future" scene, it was Alice who was standing.

"Future...... Is it because of 'molecular cuisine'? But Alice is still a little too immature, right? Liu Pleiades muttered suspiciously.

Indeed, it can be seen that in the cooking field titled "Future", the cooking table on the side of the "Seed Team" has been surrounded by all kinds of rare and strange equipment.

However, the situation of the "Future" group only made Liu Pleiades curious, but not worried, and on the "Past" group's side, because it was a TV broadcast, Liu Pleiades couldn't see anything abnormal, and could only speculate that the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" should have begun.

Because the voice of the unknown voice kept ringing, which made me even more upset, and the director who always switched the camera, Liu Pleiades simply went to the Internet to find it, and there is a website that really specializes in live broadcasting with a fixed perspective, with Liu Pleiades's current accomplishments in cooking, there is no need to listen to the commentary, and I specially found the live broadcast of the "past" cooking field and watched it......

"Huh? What are the ingredients of naginata-cut thistle...... Eggplant, pumpkin, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, bell peppers, garlic, onions...... In addition to the usual spices, there are rosemary, oregano, thyme, and vanilla...... That's vegan enough, wait! How does it feel vaguely familiar? ”

Although the angle of the live broadcast is not good, as long as the ingredients and spices appear on the screen, Liu Pleiades can judge the type as long as he sees it slightly.

At the same time, you can also see the malicious expression of the thistle......

Liu Pleiades even felt that the reason why their expressions during the duel were not suspicious should be the impact of the "curse" on other people, including the current Nagi thistle, as well as Paul when he duel him before.

Although you need to be careful when cooking, it is a bit of a disobedience to the whole process if you have no expression or an evil expression.

The ingredients that can be seen here in Erina are eggs, flour, oats, milk, Parma ham, duck, lemon, and there are many special spices, and the more eye-catching is tarragon......

Looking at the ingredients and preparation of the nagini thistle, Liu Pleiades frowned, as if he realized something.

"Sure enough...... It may not be accurate to judge from the visual point alone, but those herbs should be herbs from Provence, and there are other ingredients...... There are slight differences, but when combined...... What the hell was he thinking? Although she heard Erina talk about it once, it was the first dish she remembered, Nagi cut thistle made by herself, and let her taste it, and it was also a dish that was suspected of causing Ling'er to be suppressed by the parasitic 'demon', but...... Obviously it's not suitable for a game at this time, right? Liu Pleiades couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

That's right, Liu Pleiades guessed what Nagi Cutting Thistle wanted to do......

Provencal stew!

A dish made by simmering several kinds of fruits and vegetables together, it was originally a local dish in Provence, France, but it has been improved from generation to generation, and it is now a famous French dish......

Previously, from the cooking of the chefs of the "Central Gastronomy Agency", as well as the advocacy of Nagi Cutting Thistle when he was at Yuanyue Academy, Liu Pleiades was vaguely aware that his definition of "feed" was not divided from the value of the ingredients, but was never made by the hands of the chefs he admired, no matter what ingredients were used, they were "feed".

Liu believes that this famous French dish derived from local cuisine can bloom in the hands of naginata-cut thistle, but he still does not think that this dish is "suitable" for use in competitions!

Provençal stew, also known as "Provençal stew" in Chinese......

Similar to the Tohoku stew, the ingredients and spices are different, but they are both dishes that stir-fry and stew a large number of "messy" ingredients.

The wide variety of ingredients means that the taste will be very "messy", although this "messy" cannot be simply defined as "unpalatable", but it is definitely a point deduction for use in the competition!

It's like the sumo wrestler hot pot prepared by the original "Sumo Hot Pot Research Society" was classified as "unsuitable for use as a halberd" by Liu Pleiades......

As for the original Nagi thistle letting Erina taste this dish, it was also difficult for the strongman, forcing Erina, who was only five years old, to distinguish the flavor composition of "messy stew"!

If you can't completely distinguish it, you can lock it in a small dark room that no one can approach, and then come out when you can completely distinguish it......

At that time, Erina was still young after all, so the "messy" cuisine was ...... According to Erina, she was locked up for two days before she was completely able to distinguish herself.

And most of the two days were spent crying by her.

This also constitutes one of the main events of Erina's fear of the "little black house"!

Purely from the perspective of striking Erina, Nagi Kiri Thistle chose the right dish, "right" to the extent that Liu Pleiades would run to the arena to punch him right now.

Indeed, Erina also saw something, and her expression changed slightly, as if she was suppressing her instinctive fear......

But from the perspective of the game, Liu Pleiades still doesn't think this is a good choice!

Whether it is the original intention of Nagi thistle or the reason for the "curse", it should make him attach great importance to victory and defeat, and there is no reason not to go all out, is it to win by hitting Erina's spirit?

Protect the "fake jade dragon cauldron" from detection, consolidate its position in the American Development Association, and the influence of the "curse...... Nagi thistle has too many reasons to crave this victory.

And the style of Provençal stew, no matter how delicious it is, does not meet the tall image that Nagini Thistle needs to promote for itself now, right?

From the visual effect, the "stewed" style of cooking is very cheap!

The other party's choice of "Provencal stew" at this time is incomprehensible in Liu Pleiades's opinion.

At the same time, the kitchenware prepared by Nagi Cut Thistle also attracted Liu Pleiaus's attention......

"Is that a charcoal grill? What is the ...... for"

This doubt was quickly answered, only to see that the nagini cut thistle first put the red bell pepper in the charcoal oven to smoke and roast, while distractedly weighing all kinds of spices and herbs, until the surface of the red bell pepper has been roasted, then it was taken off.

The smoked red pepper has a unique flavor, which Liu Pleiades knows, but this flavor is ...... I can't keep it in the stew.

When "stewed", this smoky flavor will definitely be masked, and the already mixed taste of the stew will become even more bizarre......

Nagi cut thistle's next actions made Liu Pleiades even more strange, and at the same time, he couldn't help but have some guesses.

The skin of the red pepper that has been roasted is peeled off, and the part of the bell pepper meat inside is not scorched, and then the red bell pepper meat is diced, added to the fried onion, garlic, and tomatoes that are also cut into small dices, as well as the spices and herbs prepared before, and boiled in the pot......

No extra water was added, just boiling with the water in tomatoes and bell peppers!

"Is this making a sauce?" Liu Pleiaus's brows furrowed more and more, as if he had understood what some of the naginata thistles were going to do.

While the sauce is boiling, Nagi cuts the thistle into round slices of other ingredients, which is slightly different from the common "Provencal stew" that Liu Pleiades knows, in which there is no zucchini, but more pumpkin, lettuce and potatoes......

Zucchini is also called "small melon" and "gourd" in Chinese cuisine, which belongs to the variant of pumpkin and is not as sweet as pumpkin.

Lettuce, to be precise, should be called "stem lettuce", usually everyone says "lettuce" belongs to this category, as the name suggests, stem lettuce is usually the part of the "stem" that eats it, and the corresponding is "leaf lettuce", but generally in Chinese, everyone directly calls it "lettuce", lettuce only refers to "stem lettuce", which restaurant treats lettuce as lettuce, and someone has to smash the store......

Although lettuce is native to the Mediterranean coast, and it is naturally cultivated in France, which borders the Mediterranean Sea to the south, it is usually not added to Provençal stews.

Needless to say, the scientific name potato, native to South America, was introduced to Western cuisine and Chinese cuisine about 600 years ago, and quickly became one of the staple foods liked by Western cuisine, but usually because of different ripening periods, potatoes will not be added to Provençal stews, but there is a special "Provençal potato stew".

Pumpkins, which are obviously larger than other ingredients, are cut into smaller slices, and the smaller lettuce is cut sideways and has a large area, and the final "slices" of several ingredients are almost uniform in size and shape oval slices.

Because it was a TV broadcast, Liu Pleiades couldn't see the "Fengrui Pattern" of the "Spirit Library" appear in the TV signal, but he could guess that it must have played a role!

Purely from the point of view of the "spiritual storehouse", the "Provençal stew" is very appropriate.

After the "Spirit Storage" becomes a cursed kitchenware, it can be said that there are the most and least ingredients that are the objects of the curse......

It works for all ingredients, but almost all ingredients can prevent it from working......

As a cursed kitchenware, the Spirit Vault does not make humans become allergic to a certain ingredient, but greatly reduces the shelf life of all ingredients!

Its normal function, when using only its body, is equivalent to a portable perpetual refrigerator, and if its full effect is activated, it can fix the ingredients in a state of time......

"Provençal stew" is a local dish that is the product of farmers who have just picked a variety of vegetables that have just been picked and stewed together during the harvest season.

It is conceivable that the "Spirit Storage" has fixed the vegetables used in a state that has just been picked, as if there is no storage process!

The sauce has finally been boiled to the point that the water has dried up, and the naginagi thistle does not seem to have the slightest intention of starting a "stew", but takes five small iron plates, spreads the sauce evenly on the bottom of the small iron plate, and then slices of oval eggplant, pumpkin slices, lettuce slices, tomato slices, and potato slices of uniform size are placed on small iron plates with sauce at regular intervals.

It looks as if it's a colorful swirling lollipop!

Sure enough, there was no intention of stewing, but chose to directly put five iron plates, cover them with tin foil, and put them in the oven......

"I see!" Liu Pleiades muttered to himself.

Naginagi thistle is a dish that has been changed from a "Provençal stew" to a baked dish!

Therefore, in terms of image and taste, the chaos of Provençal stew is perfectly overcome......

In the middle of the process, the nagini thistle also adjusted the temperature of the oven, and the tin foil was removed, and when it was finished, you could see plates of gorgeous "Provençal stew...... No, it should be said that it was "Provençal grilled" and presented to the judges.

Richly coloured and neatly arranged slices of roasted melons and fruits bloom in a steaming sauce with a smoky flavor.

The judges also showed their expressions of interest when they saw the colorful grilled vegetables on the small plate in front of them, and the only contradiction was that after the dish was presented, Naginagi Thistle did not pay attention to their intentions, but walked to Erina's cooking table, and carried another plate of "Provencal grilled dishes......

And Erina's cooking, which is also in the final stage at this time, is pouring the sauce on the finished product.

"The ingredients are different, but it's 'Eggs Benedict'! Really, the recipes chosen are more 'weird' than the other......" Liu Pleiades couldn't help muttering.

Yu Mei, Xiaohui and others at the scene couldn't help but get anxious......

"That's ...... Eggs Benedict? What exactly was Erina thinking? Why choose a breakfast dish as a recipe for the competition? Yu Mei couldn't help but rub her head and said.

That's right, it's the egg breakfast that Erina once made in the last "residential training" and buffet-style assessment, but the recipe she made now is obviously different from the recipe at that time.

"My lovely daughter, remember the 'Provençal stew'? In order to make your 'Tongue of God' shine, Daddy made you the first dish! At that time, you still said that you couldn't tell what spices and ingredients were inside, and you couldn't guess the place of origin, the category to which it belonged, and how long it had been stored......

In the end, it was Dad's method that allowed you to successfully distinguish it, right? After messing around with those mediocre talents for so long, I'm afraid your talent has also degraded! Try this revamped 'Provençal stew' and rethink what happened back then! No need to eat feed in the future! ”

Liu Pleiades read the lips of the thistle from the lens......

Sure enough, Nagi thistle, who was originally hostile to Liu Pleiades and Erina, was the most intact self-consciousness in the "Dark Cuisine Showdown".

Even Liu Pleiades suspected that Nagi Cutting Thistle might have added other additional conditions to the bet on the "Dark Cuisine Duel" under his own consciousness!

"Yes, but please try my food at the same time!" Erina said.

Seeing Erina's expression, Liu Pleiades was a little relieved, at least Erina's eyes now, there was no longer any fear of the nagina thistle.

And the scarlet sand at the scene, at this time, said solemnly: "No, the reason why Miss Erina chose 'Eggs Benedict' is probably because...... When Erina was four years old, the first time she cooked her own cooking was egg dish! ”

"Huh? The first time Erina made a Benedict egg? Yuhime said in amazement.

Although "Eggs Benedict" is not too complicated and is a common breakfast dish in North America, it is a bit ...... to make "Eggs Benedict" for the first time when I was four years old

"Of course not, Miss Erina was only four years old at the time, and it was only the first time she fired fire...... It's an omelette. Scarlet said.

"Omelette? What does that have to do with 'Eggs Benedict'? Eggs Benedict uses poached eggs...... Wait a minute! No, speaking of which, Erina's 'Eggs Benedict' this time seems to be an omelette! Yu Mei suddenly reacted.

Eggs Benedict is a common breakfast in North America, usually prepared with a small piece of English muffin cake as a base, followed by bacon, side dishes, topped with a poached egg, and finally drizzled with spicy and sour hollandaise sauce.

However, not only did Erina use a completely different side dish, but everyone also recalled that Erina should have used not a "poached egg", but an omelette!

"Frozen eggs" refer to eggs that have been blanched in hot water with egg whites and the yolk is still fluid.

Unlike soft-boiled eggs, poached eggs are not boiled eggs, but are scalded in hot water after being shelled.

The most tempting thing about "water-poached eggs" is undoubtedly the moment when the table knife pierces the egg white solidified on the outside, and the egg yolk is still fluid inside!

However, if you look closely at it in close-up, you can see that the eggs on top of Erina's "Bandinik Eggs" can be faintly fried under the hollandaise sauce.

"Did you replace 'poached eggs' with 'fried eggs'......"

At the same time, Erina's "Bandinik Egg" used different ingredients this time, and instead of bacon, Italian Parma ham was used.

As one of the three major hams in the world, Parma ham has the softest texture among all well-known hams, and is different from the hardness of ordinary hams, and unlike Chinese hams that are salted many times during production, Parma ham is usually only salted once, and the amount of salt used in the ham is also small, after the blood precipitation, it will also wash off the sea salt and continue to dry, so the taste is not heavy, and it is even called "sweet ham".

Therefore, Parma ham is not used as a condiment, but can be eaten as a whole slice alone, the finest Parma ham cut into thin slices, the color is dark red and translucent, the fat has a marble texture, because of the production process, it smells smoky and can be eaten raw.

The slicing technique of Parma ham can also be used as a performance in local Italian restaurants, and even now that automatic and semi-automatic slicers have become popular, many restaurants still maintain the habit of cutting by hand.

At this time, Erina's modified version of the "Bandinik Egg" is covered with a curved slice of Parma ham under the omelette and the wavy curls that emerge between the omelette and the base underneath, which is particularly tempting......

And in addition to Parma ham, there are other things that can be vaguely seen......

"It's sliced roast duck." Koe, who had been looking at Erina before, said.

That's right, it was just when it was grilled that the roast duck was sliced along with the belt meat! There are not many of them in each "Bandinik egg", they all carry three or two slices, overlapping them in Parma ham......

Speaking of "roast duck", the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the "Peking duck" in Chinese cuisine, which is already a regional dish standard (well, it's something like a landmark!). ）。

However, Erina's "roast duck" is more inclined to "Cantonese roast duck" in terms of production, which is also Chinese cuisine, but tends to be Cantonese cuisine.

Beijing roast duck originated in the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang likes to eat roast duck, at that time in Yingtianfu, that is, Jinling, Nanjing in later generations, naturally there are a lot of highly skilled roast duck masters, later Ming Chengzu Zhu Di usurped the throne, moved the capital to Shuntianfu, that is, Beijing in later generations, many roast duck people have also changed to other families, Jinling roast duck and Beijing roast duck since then......

Because of the support of the royal family, the fame of Peking duck gradually changed beyond Jinling roast duck, and then the emergence of Cantonese roast duck is another new genre derived from Jinling roast duck.

Compared with Peking duck, Cantonese roast duck attaches more importance to the taste of duck meat, the former is more fragrant duck skin, if according to the most authentic practice, Peking duck should be roasted with fruit wood, so that the aromatic substances in the fruit wood are fully dissolved in the duck meat in the combustion, and after the fusion with the taste of duck meat, it produces an oily but not greasy, salty and sweet flavor.

The authentic Cantonese roast duck inherits the characteristics of Jinling roast duck, using pine branches and pine cones as fuel.

Because of the different recipes and flavors during roasting, the sauce is also different from Peking duck with shredded green onions and sweet noodle sauce, but with sour plum sauce or other slightly sour sauces......

"Have you noticed that the bread base that Erina baked before was also different from half of the English muffins, not adding so much butter and not having low flour, but using a mixture of high-gluten flour and baking powder, and the proportion of milk was different from that of common muffins...... Yuhime said suddenly.

"That's right, it should be nowhere near the softness that a muffin has, and the texture should be firmer and more chewy...... It's a bit like German-style farmer's bread! Yu Mei nodded.

Liu Pleiaus, who was watching the live broadcast, also discovered these, and at the same time, he read what Nagi Cutting Thistle was saying from his lips......

"Omelette? You haven't given up yet, have you? I should have said at the time that as my daughter, it is absolutely not allowed to produce feed! It's been thirteen years...... If you have been under my teaching for the past thirteen years, you may not be able to produce feed anymore.

It's a pity that neither you nor your father understand...... Then I'll give you a taste of the new feed you have produced with the untouchables! ”

That's right, Scarlet also remembers that after Erina finished the omelette for the first time, she went to her father to taste it with great interest, only to be trampled under her feet by Nagi thistle without tasting it, and scolded her for "producing feed......
