"Huh? The size of that color, and the habit of not moving...... It's a sleeping crab, right? Yuhime said suddenly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Including Youji, many students recognized Liu Pleias's big red crab.

"Sleeping crabs indeed...... But that shouldn't be ......" Ryoko echoed Yuhime's judgment and looked in the direction of Kojiro Shinomiya.

Sleeping crab, one of the top crab ingredients, is also known as "brown crab", because it sleeps on its own crab claws all year round.

Because of its slow movement, it is a crab that is very large, but it does not need to be tied to a rope at all!

Those who will be caught by this kind of battle five crabs will say goodbye to crabs in this life......

It is worth noting that the origin of the sleeping crab is precisely the Atlantic coast of France, and it can be said that the origin is France.

Liu Pleiades actually chose an ingredient that Kojiro Shinomiya must be very familiar with!

At the same time, Daigo looked at the aquarium on Liu Pleiades' side, pinched his chin and said, "Sleeping crab...... It's really similar, but in my impression, the red color of the 'sleeping crab' should be darker, right? ”

"It's a sleeping crab that has just molted." Zenji Marui put on a pair of glasses.

"Molting?"

"As arthropods, crabs often need more than ten or even dozens of molts before they reach adulthood, that is, they will shed their shells that restrict their growth, and some will even lose their shells several times after they reach adulthood......"

That is to say...... Soft-shell crabs? Shoji said, apparently they weren't unaware of this.

"Soft-shell crab" is not the name of some kind of crab, but refers to a crab that has just molted its shell, has not yet finished tanning, and its shell is not hard.

"That's right, when the crab molts, it can often remove the whole body, including the shell on the claw, together, and the new shell has to grow and gradually harden, so the whole body will show a lighter color than usual." Zenji Marui said.

"Crabs in the molting stage...... Are there any advantages? It seems to be rarely used. Daigo said.

At least the crabs they usually cook are adults, not freshly shucked.

Speaking of "advantages", Marui also frowned for a while: "Crabs that have just molted and have not yet been tanned to harden their shells are also called 'soft-shell crabs', and unlike ordinary crabs, they ...... As the name suggests, the shell is much softer, and it can even be dented by pressing, so as long as it is properly cooked or pickled, it can be eaten with the shell, and the molting of the crab is to remove the entire ectoderm, which means that even the gills, stomach, and part of the excretory organs will also fade, so if you don't consider the internal organs, you can eat it whole from the perspective of cleanliness......

"So convenient? Then we usually ......."

"But the soft shell also means that the crab has not reached the 'apex', and the meat quality is much worse than that of a fully mature crab, and it does not have the firmness of adult crab meat." Marui explained.

It is for this reason that these "soft shell crabs" are rarely used in cooking.

Just to save some processing steps, but to double the quality of the meat...... In the eyes of most chefs and diners, this is more than worth the loss.

Moreover, to use "soft shell crabs", it is necessary to pinch the time, and it is not convenient to breed, because it will not be long before the crabs will be tanned to make the newly exposed soft shells also become hard shells!

Usually the farmers calculate the time directly, and after scooping it up, it will be made into pickled, vacuum frozen instant food.

As for the live soft-shell crab dish?

Unless it's the right time and you go to the farm, ...... It's hard for a strong man!

After all, after the crab molts, it will not look at whether humans eat it, and then decide at what speed to harden it, as long as the time is missed, the soft-shell crab will become an ordinary crab......

However, with the ability of the Yuanyue Group, even the soft-shell crabs of sleeping crabs can naturally be easily obtained, and they have got quite a few of them, which are obviously all sleeping crabs that are close to adulthood and should have finished molting for the last time before adulthood.

But it is precisely because many people recognize that this is a sleeping crab that has just molted, so they don't understand Liu Pleias's purpose very well......

Sleeping crabs often lie on their stomachs and move slowly, so they have the advantage of thick meat.

But do the juvenile sleeping crabs of "soft-shell crabs" still have these advantages?

On the other hand, compared with the laziness of the sleeping crab, the "crabs" on the side of the fourth house seem to be much more active, climbing high and going low one by one......

That's right, the crab of the four palaces is not in the water, but lying on the trunk of the tree in the mimic box!

In the mimicry box of the four houses, it is not seawater, but sand and "tree trunks......

The "crab" inside is also quite imposing, with a purple-blue shell, and a large and a small, but very thick crab claw, the whole body is afraid that it can block people's heads!

And its size is not made by its legs, which are short and thick, and appear to be flexible when climbing.

"What kind of crab is the chef of the four palaces?" Yuhime wondered.

Zenji Marui continues to follow his "setting", that is, he will explain when he understands, and he will explain when he doesn't...... Stick a pair of glasses and say nothing!

Itakesaki, who has always been taciturn, said at this time: "It's a coconut crab." ”

"Coconut crab? You don't just see these tree trunks, as if they were indeed split from coconut trees, and name them coconut crabs, right? Yuhime questioned.

After all, at this time, Ryo Kurokiba, who was born in a port city and is the best at seafood cuisine, and Alice, who also lived in a port city before entering school, did not recognize this crab at this time......

"It's a tropical hermit crab." Ibuzaki points out why Kurokiba and Alice don't know this in one bite.

Indeed, expecting coconut crabs to live in Northern Europe is a bit "difficult for strong crabs"!

"Hermit crabs? What do you live in? Yuhime looked at those hermit crabs with big faces in shock, and secretly wondered if they had to live in the basin?

"It's too big to live in, but it's still a hermit crab." Itakezaki said seriously.

Indeed, the hermit crab is the name of the species, not the name of the behavior!

People don't "live", and they can't deny the identity of its hermit crab......

According to the species, the coconut crab is the hermit crab, and it is the largest hermit crab.

Hermit crabs are really not "crabs", but just as "king crabs", which are also not crabs, can appear in crab cuisine and no one will point any fingers, the definition of ingredients in the culinary world is naturally different from the definition of species in the biological world.

"What a coincidence." Kojiro Shinomiya muttered after seeing Liu Pleiades's "sleeping crab".

Not only does Liu Pleiades use French ingredients that he is familiar with, but also because his coconut crab is the "Hainan coconut crab" that Liu Pleiades should also be familiar with......

At the same time, after revealing the crab they were going to use, neither of them immediately shot at the sleeping crab and coconut crab, but prepared other sauces and sauces first...... And "noodles"!

It can be seen that Kojiro Shinomiya uses wheat flour and yeast powder to make noodles, while Liu Pleiades ...... There is no dough.

It's just a mixture of seasoning powder and flour......

There is one thing that Liu Pleiades and Shinomiya Kojiro have in common, that is, they both reached the edge of the "end" end of the skylight when the moon had reached the edge of the skylight, and they began to "fish" out their favorite crabs.

The rule of the eclipse is that the moon ends when it is completely hidden, which means that it has now reached the final stage of the "eclipse".

The actions handled by both sides are clean and neat, Liu Pleiades naturally needless to say, no one will doubt his knife skills, even if he uses a soft shell crab, Liu Pleiades still takes the trouble to remove the internal organs of the sleeping crab first.

And Kojiro Shinomiya on the side also ignored the ferocity of the coconut crab and the threat of crab claws...... Although the crab claws that can cut the coconut skin are still processed without protection, the coconut crab will soon become coconut crab meat......

Kojiro Shinomiya's pure "cooking skills" seem to have improved again!

Just as the full moon completely disappeared from the skylight, both parties completed their work at the same time that Rei Kawashima announced that "the cooking is over", and only waited for the final presentation of the meal.

The final appearance of the "crab pastry" on both sides can already be seen......

Kojiro Shinomiya's work is a small cake made at the bottom of the coconut crab's "cover", and Liu Pleiades's plate is filled with "dough cakes" fried to a golden brown!

Well, it's the same "bad taste" as Ryo Hayama in the qualifiers for the Ten Masterpieces before, when Ryo Hayama was outside the pie, with two pigeon wings missing...... Although it was fried, the feathers were also missing, and I didn't know that I thought I had put the whole pigeon in the pie.

Now on both sides of the front end of Liu Pleias's golden small bread, there are also two crab claws sticking out......

Of course, the audience and judges who saw Liu Pleias's practice before naturally knew that Liu Pleiades didn't fry the sleeping crab into crab flour cakes.

"How? Who wins? Erina asked Ling'er in her heart.

If she asks out loud at this time, I'm afraid everyone will think that she is stupid, and the two sides have not yet presented the food at this time, how can there be "who won"?

However, Erina felt that Ling'er's words ......

"I don't know, unless you try it!" Ling'er said angrily, obviously complaining that Erina had too high expectations for her.

“……”

Erina was speechless at the same time, there was no other way, at this time she was not one of the halberd contestants at all, her face was still far from the previous Kobayashi gentian, and she went up to taste the dishes of both sides as an audience...... There's no such thing that Erina can't do.

"But I can confirm that this 'division duel' must have an effect. Liu Pleiades' opponents...... Good choice! Ling'er said.

There is an effect, which can be a positive effect or a ...... Counter-effect.

Ling'er just means that the four palaces do have strength, so that Liu Pleiades's "division duel" has taken effect!

"What exactly is the chef's heart of the four palace seniors? I feel like I feel it...... But I didn't feel ......," Erina said in a tangled voice.

In fact, not only Erina, but Liu Pleiades also has this feeling, that is, he clearly feels that the kitchen heart of the four palaces is effective, but he can't feel what the effect is......

Even if it is super vision, it has not seen through its effect, but Liu Pleiades still used the effect of "super vision" to rub a mirror kitchen heart for backup!

His instincts told him that this thing was useful......

"It's not surprising because he has the 'heart of cooking.'" Ling'er said.

"Culinary heart? Could it be that he is a very powerful chef, and he actually directly uses the name of 'cuisine'? Erina wondered.

"The chef's heart used to be as famous as 'source cuisine', but ...... I don't know if it's powerful or not. Ling'er's tone was a little lonely.

Because she was worried about Liu Pleiades, who had started the "Division Showdown", Erina didn't have the extra mental strength to consider Ling'er's emotions, and hurriedly asked: "It's as famous as 'Source Cuisine'?" Isn't that amazing? ”

"I don't know, I mean it's the same name as 'once'."

Erina clearly didn't understand.

Ling'er then explained: "When the Atlantean civilization and the Lemorian civilization were still there, although the culinary systems of the two races were not too integrated because of the great differences, both sides also felt that the material and spiritual cuisine of the other party may be the key to their own further progress. I said it before, right? 'Source cuisine' can be regarded as a ...... in spiritual cuisine."

"Yes, I did." Erina remembers that when Ling'er confessed, Liu Pleiades asked this question.

"The reason why we say 'let's talk' is because its effect is 'spiritual cooking', but the technology comes from 'material cooking'...... That's right, 'Source Cuisine' is a technology created by the Lemurian civilization that once excelled at material cuisine before the curse came, allowing them to have the effect of 'spiritual cuisine' under the system of 'material cuisine'. ”

Hearing this, Erina nodded, it is true that "source cuisine" is different from the chef's heart in principle, but the chef uses his extremely in-depth understanding of the ingredients to stimulate his "source", rather than using his own will......

Looks...... Indeed, it is like the handiwork of the Lemurian civilization based on "material cuisine"!

Seeing this, Ling'er continued: "The time and reason for the birth of 'Cooking Kitchen Heart' are similar to those of 'Source Cuisine', but on the contrary. ”

Almost, opposite, two words that look very different, but Erina understands them.

"The Atlantean civilization also created the 'Heart of Cooking'? With kitchen care...... Giving back to cooking? ”

Erina said secretly: It seems that this is the effort made by the two major civilizations that did not have a "dragon level" in the first place!

"That's right...... That's why I said they used to be the same name, but with the curse that came, the two civilizations turned into ruins, and three thousand years later I became a dragon chef, relying on the fusion of the two systems, not the 'source cuisine' and the 'heart of cooking', so at one point I thought that these two attempts were wrong, and the two systems themselves could no longer be extended, and the integration of the two systems was the right way......

It wasn't until 100 years ago that I met the chef who had reached the dragon level with 'Source Cuisine', and I knew that 'Source Cuisine' could really push the limits! I don't know if the 'Heart of Cooking' will be able to, but there is no precedent, but I suspect that it may be possible. ”

This is also the reason why Ling'er was lonely when she mentioned this - the original "Atlantis" and "Lemuria" were just a little bit close!

Otherwise, with the base number of the two second only to dragon-level chefs, hundreds of dragon chefs appeared, and the "curse" would not be so harmful......

Erina didn't have the heart to think about Ling'er's sadness, but looked nervously at Kojiro Shinomiya and presented the food first.

Although the two completed it at the same time, Sigong obviously had a shadow in his heart, and took the initiative to propose to Liu Pleiades to present the food first, and Liu Pleiades also agreed......
