Chapter 388: The Luo Family's Black History
"I think there are some things, it's better to solve them while the old man is still sober!" Xie Yunlong stopped Liu Yuexing's move to slip away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You, you are ......" Liu Yuxing looked at the other party's "immortal cultivation face" and couldn't help but be surprised.
"When you're older, some things are always enduring." Xie Yunlong said.
"That's right, the elderly feel less...... Ahem, I mean, what do you know? ”
"Actually, I didn't know anything, but I suddenly found that the 'Demon Saint Bronze' was always muttering something in my heart, and ...... It's hard to spot, and at first I thought it was my own idea. ”
“……”
"In the murmur of the 'Demon Saint Bronze', I became interested in the 'Jade Dragon Pot', and I had unexplained hostility towards you and Liu Gaohui, especially after Liu Gaohui's appearance in the qualifiers' team and your appearance against Paul yesterday, this hostility became more and more serious."
Liu Pleiades's way of nature, the two times that Master Xie said are when the two of them officially expose that they have a "Jade Dragon Pot"!
"And with this subjective impression, I found out that Lin Yi and Seiichiro, the two dragon chefs who had a good relationship with you, also began to have this feeling, but they didn't find anything themselves...... Coupled with the prophecy of the ancestors announced by the Liu family before, although I don't know too much, I can also understand that the 'Eight Comings of the Divine Tribulation' is related to the legendary kitchen utensils, and it is also related to you! Xie Yunlong said.
It seems that although Xie Yunlong usually looks a little crazy and acts quite like Meng Lang, in fact, his brain is still very bright!
Not only did he overcome the influence of the curse to a certain extent, but he also deduced some facts from the source of his bewitching soul and the prophecy of the ancestors of the Liu family.
"I don't know how to explain it to you...... To be exact, do you really have time to listen to me now? Liu Pleiades said helplessly.
Perhaps because he was too close to Liu Yuexing, Xie Yunlong was already about to progress into the appearance of "failing to cultivate immortals and falling into the devil's path" at any time......
"In short, for some supernatural reason, there must be a battle between us, and victory or defeat may lead to the result of 'heaven and earth', right?" Xie Yunlong said concisely.
"That's right."
"Then I guess I'd better put that battle now! Since all the dragon chefs are affected, you can't be one against three, right? ”
"Wait! Do you really understand what this battle will represent? This is no ordinary culinary showdown......
"Of course I understand...... It's a 'dark food showdown', right? Don't forget, the Bailuo family inheritance has arisen since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there have been family records even earlier! I don't know if it's true or not, but I've heard of it before, and it's only mentioned in the lineage. When you played Paul yesterday, you started the 'Dark Cuisine Showdown', right? I seem to see something strange. ”
Xie Yunlong said, and the effect of "tears in clothes" began to appear all over his body, and the shriveled body under the original flower shirt swelled up little by little.
It seems that not only when he tastes delicious, but if Xie Yunlong is serious, he will also trigger this effect.
When Xie Yunlong defeated the players of the "Italian Royal Cuisine Team" in the individual competition before, there was no such vision, and it seems that Xie Yunlong is only now completely serious!
Liu Yuexing is also very entangled in his heart, it is indeed a trouble to face three "Dragon Chefs" at once, but now he is directly facing Xie Yunlong, and it is not easy to do it......
It can be said that among the six dragon chefs, the one Liu Pleiades is most reluctant to meet is Master Xie.
Although Liu Pleiades can't say that he knows very well what the strength of the six "Dragon Chefs" is, from the age of Master Xie, Liu Pleiades understands that this old man, who usually doesn't look very serious, is definitely not so easy to deal with!
However, just when Liu Pleiades was struggling with whether to jump out of the window and escape, he suddenly found that the scenery outside the window had become a "black and white photo......
Liu Yuxing didn't dare to confirm whether Master Xie wanted to help him reduce some trouble, or because he had been facing himself for too long and the curse was uncontrollable...... At this point, the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" has already begun!
I guess there are two reasons, there should be both.
Originally, Master Xie was able to barely keep the impulse brought by the "curse", but when his original intention was to face off with Liu Pleiades as soon as possible, the impulse brought by the curse finally couldn't be suppressed......
Of course, it is also possible that it was the impulse brought about by the curse that made Xie Yunlong, who remained a little sober, choose this most simple and crude way to solve the problem!
It doesn't matter what the specific truth is, Liu Pleiades can confirm that the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" has begun!
"Wait, the topic and time of our duel haven't been decided yet...... Liu Pleiades said suddenly.
"The time limit is three hours, and after three hours, 'All? The individual competition on Blue's side is over, and if there is no team competition, people may come back one after another, and the ingredients are these in the kitchen...... As for the topic, let's use a traditional duel method! I'm going to talk about two topic limitations, and after each one, you can come up with more detailed restrictions based on the topic limits I said, and then use them as topics! ”
Xie Yunlong said a dueling method that seemed to be very ancient, and it seemed that the Bai Luo family really had a record of this.
"Okay......" Liu Pleiades agreed after thinking about it.
"Pastry." Lao Xie really meant to release the water, and as soon as he came up, he set the topic on his "home field".
“…… Dead side. Liu Pleiades said after thinking about it.
Well, Liu Pleiades is not polite, although Xie Yunlong set the topic at the noodle point, but Liu Pleiades backhanded the noodles must be "dead noodles", that is, he kicked his "Shu Han old noodles" out of the field.
Dead noodles are noodles that have no "fermentation" step, neither yeast nor old noodles!
And the "old noodles" itself is a means of preserving fermentation bacteria, since the "dead noodles" are required, the old noodles of Shu Han have no use.
"Meat!" The second qualifier was explained, which is also a limited ingredient.
Liu Yuexing couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and after half a sound, he suddenly said, "Vegetarian meat." ”
This is obviously a bit "targeted", and the further restriction on "meat" is actually "vegetarian meat......
"......" Xie Yunlong was speechless at this almost rogue additional restriction, and he was ...... Is it a restriction on "meat"?
However, from the "Dark Cuisine Showdown", this restriction is recognized!
Just after the two of them had finished talking about the two restrictions they had proposed, a bell rang in the venue designated as a "dark cuisine showdown......
Liu Pleiades heard Ling'er say that when the "Dark Cuisine Duel" is launched, there are usually two situations.
One is a game that relies on existing rules, just like Liu Pleias's previous duel with Paul, that is, in "All? Blue", in the main individual competition, directly "nested" the dark cuisine duel.
There is also a separate "Dark Cuisine Showdown", just like what Liu Pleiades is experiencing now, the bell represents the signal of "the beginning of cooking", and it also means that the title of the duel is recognized by the "Dark Cuisine Showdown".
Xie Yunlong had anything else to say, so he could only hold it back......
For the finalized topic, Liu Pleiades is still quite satisfied!
Liu Pleiades's cooking bias is not large, and he already has the "essence of pastry", which means that the topic of "pastry" is not just Xie Yunlong's home field.
What's more, a "dead noodles" and a "vegetarian meat", the former "seals" Xie Yunlong's Shu Han old noodles, and the latter is aimed at Xie Yunlong's kitchen heart!
Xie Yunlong's kitchen heart is "comfort spirit", although he is both his father Xie Lu and pastry king Luo Gen two series of pastry masters, but in terms of kitchen heart, he still inherited the "comfort spirit" inherited by the Bai Luo family, perhaps this is related to his frequent contact with Shu Han old noodles, and it is this kitchen heart that makes Xie Yunlong still stay sober under the curse.
The original owner of the "Comforting Soul" kitchen heart was the military chef of Zhuge Kongming at that time, and he also invented the "steamed bun" to replace the head of the barbarians to calm the unjust souls in the water...... That is, another form of life that is produced after the death of a large number of human beings.
To a certain extent, "consolation" requires sincerity as worshiping the heavens and ancestors, and replacing "brute heads" with "steamed buns" is to not make more killings, but there is not even some meat, so if you want to play the effect of "consoling the soul", it will have the meaning of "going to the grave and burning newspapers"!
Even the army of Zhuge Wuhou at the beginning was to stick the meat of poultry and livestock on the outside of the dough to "pretend" the head, and add the effect of "comforting the soul" to the kitchen, so that the "steamed bun" was successfully used to achieve the effect.
"Comforting" kitchen heart and "vegetarian meat" can be said to be inherently mismatched, and it is even better to directly use "vegetarian dishes" as ingredients!
After Xie Yunlong heard the restriction of "vegetarian meat", his face was tangled for this reason......
Liu Pleiades only guessed that the "Comfort Spirit" cooks needed meat, so in order to prohibit Xie Yunlong from using "meat", he said the additional restriction of "vegetarian meat", but he didn't know that this restriction had a greater impact on Xie Yunlong than he imagined......
When he was apprenticed to Logan, Xie Yunlong had heard Logan talk about many things about the Bai Luo family.
From the Three Kingdoms period, after the founder of the Luo family used "comforting the soul" to help Zhuge Kongming successfully cross the river and return to the army without hurting the feelings of the barbarians who had just been annexed, the Luo family has been in contact with the secular dynasty for most of the era, and it can even be said that it is a sacrificial family.
And vegetarian meat is also very "fateful" with the Luo family, but it is a bad fate!
It is generally believed that the origin of "vegetarian meat" was during the Northern and Southern Dynasties 300 years after the appearance of "steamed buns......
Xiao Yan, the founder of the Liang Dynasty, believed in Buddhism and had some special understanding of the teachings, such as the monks in the Chinese cuisine civilization circle began not to eat meat, which began with the edict issued by Emperor Wu of Liang, and the monks did not have this kind of constraint before that......
Moreover, Emperor Wu of Liang not only did not let the monks eat meat, but also did not eat it himself, and even called on the people under his rule not to eat it, and the most important thing was that he didn't even want to use real meat for the three sacrifices!
At that time, there were also descendants of the Luo family, who were assisting Emperor Wu of Liang, so this unlucky task fell into the hands of the Luo family.
At that time, Emperor Wu of Liang built a pagoda in Shushan for this "unique" vegetarian sacrifice.
However, at that time, the royal cuisine of the Liang Kingdom, led by the Luo family, brainstormed and researched "vegetarian meat", that is, foods that used soy products and other materials to simulate the taste and texture of "meat".
But in the end, after the chef of the Luo family personally operated the knife and carried out the sacrificial cooking in the Shushan pagoda, I don't know if it was a coincidence, or there were days in the dark, and the wind and lightning in the Shushan area were galloping, and the thunder was endless for several days......
As a result, not only did the "vegetarian meat sacrifice to the sky" become a joke, but also the cooks who had rejected the vegetarian meat sacrifice to the sky and opposed the recipe reform of Emperor Wu of Liang took the opportunity to gather in Shushan to reprimand the "vegetarian meat sacrifice to the sky" as equivalent to the "demon meat sacrifice to the sky" on the grounds of the "Mandate of Heaven", and started one cooking duel after another with the imperial cuisine of the Liang State in the pagoda.
It is said that at that time, the chefs of the Shushan League found an ancient sword that could open the "Dark Cuisine Showdown", although it was not as high-end as the legendary kitchenware, but it could also be used as an opening prop for the "Dark Cuisine Showdown......
In the end, the Shushan League expelled the forces of the Liang State from Shushan with a dark cuisine duel, and created the Shushan Food School, took the Sacrificial Heaven Pagoda and renamed it "Lock Demon Tower", and the prop ancient sword that opened the "Dark Cuisine Duel" was named "Demon Suppression Sword......
And the ancestor of the Luo family, as the chief chef of Emperor Wu of Liang, also fought as the leader of the cuisine of the Liang State in the duel on the top of Shu Mountain, but because of the order of Emperor Wu of Liang, he could only use "vegetarian meat" as ingredients and could not use real meat, and was defeated by the leader of the Shushan League and the famous chef Taiqing, and the reputation of the Luo family has been greatly damaged since then.
More than 500 years later, in the period of Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the prestige of the Luo family had been restored at this time, and in order to "get up from where they fell", generation after generation of "strong soldiers and horses" prepared countless kinds of vegetarian meat recipes, and once again instigated Wen Ce, the son of the general at that time, to send troops to Shushan......
At this time, the Shushan Food School was also under the leadership of the twenty-third generation of chief chefs and celebrity chef Xu Changqing, and it developed to an unprecedented and powerful point, although at the beginning of the duel, the Luo family defeated the chefs of the Shushan Food School a few times, but later it was defeated by the passing celebrity chef Chonglou, and it was the other party alone, against all the military cooks of the Luo family!
And later, the Luo family knew that the head of the Shushan Food School at that time was not unable to defeat the Luo family, but wanted to settle the grievances left over from history......
At the same time, the Luo family also realized one point, that is, although the "vegetarian meat" thing has its advantages, but it is compatible with their own "comforting" kitchen, that is, they are born to rush, and the behavior of using vegetarian meat to carry the "comforting" kitchen heart can only be described as "pit father"!
Since then, the Luo family no longer studies vegetarian meat recipes, and the descendants of the Luo family hardly touch this ingredient......
(The above content is the historical setting of the fairy sword series story, "The Shushan League won a great victory in building the pagoda Liang Emperor Wudi's army, and the Shushan Sword Sect arose", and in the Xiansan Gaiden, "Wen Ce rushed to Shushan and threatened to hand over Wen Hui with the lock demon tower, but was abused by Chonglou blood"...... The magic revision of the two events, see the original fairy sword setting, the TV series party may not be able to understand it, it can be just for entertainment, and there is no need to delve into it. )
Of course, the Luo family, as a famous family in the culinary industry, is not so self-contained and self-tied, and the past dynasties only warned the heirs not to be too obsessed with vegetarian meat, but they did not prohibit future generations from using vegetarian meat.
As a chef whose life spans the entire "era of world cuisine integration", Xie Yunlong has actually done some research on vegetarian meat in his more than 100-year cooking career......
Even the vegetarian meat recipes that the Bai Luo family was still working with Mu Jin'er of the Shushan Food School thousands of years ago have also been inherited from Luo Gan.
Moreover, in the more than 100 years that Xie Yunlong has been a cook, he has too much time, even if these "vegetarian meat recipes" have been ignored by the successive generations of Bailuo family masters for thousands of years, Xie Yunlong has also studied them.
But even so, Xie Yunlong still did not break through the natural discord between the "comforting soul" kitchen heart and the "vegetarian meat".
What's more, Xie Yunlong didn't think that he would use "vegetarian meat" as a topic to have a "dark cuisine duel" with others that he had only seen in secret history records and had always regarded as a legend before.
Therefore, Xie Yunlong did not put too much thought into "vegetarian meat......
Seeing that Liu Yuexing was already skillfully beating the eggs into the wheat flour, Xie Yunlong couldn't help muttering: "Although the topic is very unfavorable...... However, if you think that such an advantage is enough to beat me, then you are afraid to be disappointed! ”
Only saw that Yunlong directly tore off the flower shirt that was already bulging, revealing muscles that were several times stronger than the commander-in-chief......
While washing his hands, he glanced left and right at the ingredients in the cooking room, which was probably where Xie Yunlong deliberately let Liu Yuexing take a step...... The "geographical advantage" here belongs to Liu Pleiasia!
Because as I said before, you can use the ingredients in the cooking room at will in the duel, and Liu Pleiades of course knows what is in his cooking room, but Xie Yunlong needs to check it on the spot!
After washing his hands, Xie Yunlong seemed to have an idea, went straight to the refrigerator, took out a large piece of ice, put it in a basin, and directly hammered it into crushed ice with his hand......
Add water to the crushed ice and stir until the ice no longer dissolves, then filter out the crushed ice, and then use the zero degree water to go directly to the noodles!
Liu Pleiades was also taken aback by this behavior of using water near freezing point to make noodles, but the movements in his hands did not stop......
In addition to the egg mixture, Liu Pleiades also uses a small amount of oil and a high degree of white wine, and then kneads the dough thoroughly until the alcohol is completely volatilized.
Some people may think that "noodles", that is, the process of letting the noodles sit for a period of time, means secondary fermentation, but this is not the case.
There are usually two types of noodles, one is for fermented noodles, which is indeed for secondary fermentation, and the other is non-fermented noodles, which are usually also "noodles"!
The latter is to make the flour this large particle, and the water molecules fully combined, otherwise from the microscopic level, there will still be many subtleties after the dough, to maintain the water and large particles of flour "distinct" situation, at this time, "noodles" for a period of time, is conducive to making the taste of the noodles better and stronger.
Especially now, Liu Pleiades is directly using egg liquid and noodles, the water in the egg liquid accounts for about one-third, and the rest is macromolecular protein, which requires a binding time.
After that, Liu Pleiades took the bean skin, bean dregs and dried tofu from the cooking room to prepare for the vegetarian meat......
Xie Yunlong first took some bamboo shoots, beans and fungi, as well as cauliflower......
After the two started cooking, they obviously didn't have any intention of showing mercy to each other!
It is estimated that Xie Yunlong, who was originally able to temporarily resist the "curse", has also become more and more advanced after starting to cook, and has completely entered the state at this time!
When most of the time had passed, and the two of them seemed to have almost prepared for their "vegetarian meat", they saw a yellow dragon and a white jade umbrella cover appear around Liu Pleiades and on the top of Xie Yunlong's dragon......
Although one used eggs and noodles, and the other used ice water and noodles, at this time, they both used the "manual" method, and they "easily" stretched or spread out!
Even Carlo, the leader of the previous "Italian Royal Cuisine Team", was not as "easy" as Liu Pleias.
That's right, Liu's dough is obviously closer to "pasta", and when stretched into "noodles", the golden dough is thrown around the body like a dragon.
Both the color and the shine were more dazzling than the pasta used by Carlo in the team match in the qualifiers.
And Xie Yunlong's ice water surface, because at low temperatures, the protein in the flour has no thermal reaction, so more gluten is formed, and at the same time, the starch gelatinizes less at low temperatures, so the "white jade dough" is not inferior to the "golden dough" in terms of "toughness"!
The characteristics of the cold water surface are that the color is whiter and brighter, if Liu Pleiades and the noodles are "golden", then the noodles in the hands of Xie Yunlong should be described as "white jade......
Soon after, the bright golden dough turned into shiny golden noodles that seemed to be added with fluorescent agents in Liu Yuexing's hands, and the white jade-colored dough became pieces of dough that looked like white jade plates in Xie Yunlong's hands.
Obviously, Liu Pleiaus is preparing to make some kind of noodles similar to pasta, while Xie Yunlong is still preparing to make some kind of noodles with dough and fillings!
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye, "All? Blue", Erina and Ginto Dojima defeated their opponents, and Hiroshi Hatsuse was defeated......
However, Erina's opponent is not the opponent's team leader, and the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" has not yet begun, and the winner of the match between "Team Seed" and the "Brahmin Tasting Association Team" and the result of the "Final Showdown" will be decided in the "Team Competition" in the afternoon......
At the same time, in Liu Pleiades's cooking room, a bell rang again from nowhere.
And Liu Pleiades and Xie Yunlong were already standing on both sides of the table in the middle of the cooking room at this time, pushing their respective dishes in front of each other......
