Chapter 311: Magical Kitchenware (At the end of this volume, the next chapter is a new one!) ~)
"Can you restore the freshness of the ingredients to their freshest state? So if I use it to cut kimchi, can I turn it into cabbage after cutting? Liu Pleiades looked at Yonglin Dao and said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"......" The others present couldn't help but be surprised by Liu Yuexing's idea, and at the same time pinched a cold sweat!
"This ...... Ahem, Yonglin knives can't be used for anything other than cooking, and they are usually used to process seafood! Liu Kuishan reminded Liu Pleiades.
"Testing the function of kitchenware is also within the scope of 'cooking', right? I'll try cutting the frozen sea bream first, and you can help me get some kimchi, sauerkraut, and other ingredients! Liu Pleiades said with great interest.
I saw Liu Pleiades swinging his knife again and again at the frozen snapper that had been thawed, and after a while, a plate of sashimi with moderate thickness had been cut out, Liu Pleiades directly picked up a slice and chewed it in his mouth, and then frowned......
The others were obviously also curious, after all, for a hundred years, there had never been a chef recognized by the "Yonglin Knife", and no Chef Long had borrowed the Yonglin Knife, so they had only seen the ability of the Yonglin Knife in the handwriting of the ancestors of the Liu family......
Including Erina, who inherited the "super taste", she also tried it a long time ago, but she was not recognized by the "Yonglin Knife".
This also made Erina taste for Liu Pleiades again......
Seeing Liu Yuexing frowning, Liu Kuishan couldn't help but ask nervously, "How is it?" Didn't it work? ”
"It does work, but how do you say it...... Try it too! Liu Yuexing himself also had a somewhat doubtful tone.
The highest number of people in each family present was a dozen people, and in the blink of an eye, the sashimi on the plate was gone......
Erina also stepped forward to take a slice, and no one felt abrupt, after all, she also has a "super taste", and she can find the changes in it.
Sure enough, during the chewing, everyone present was puzzled, with Erina and Liu Pleiades being the worst......
The two who apparently possess a "super sense of taste" seem to have discovered more than the others.
At least now the feeling of others is that this sashimi is indeed delicious, not like ordinary frozen sea bream, but ...... It's definitely not the best sea bream flet either!
Taking advantage of the fact that other experimental ingredients were taken, Liu Pleiades also used an ordinary kitchen knife to cut off some sashimi, compared and tasted it, and had a faint guess in his heart, but it was necessary to test more to know......
Liu Lousan still seemed a little conservative, and the experimental ingredients he took were all seafood with different preservation methods, and finally he "reluctantly" sent fermented ingredients such as kimchi, sauerkraut, and tofu.
"Ah Xing...... You...... Do you really want to try? Are you sure you don't feel any resistance from the 'Yonglin Knife'? The First Clan Elder still asked a little nervously.
Using the "artifact" to do this kind of experiment, the first clan still feels a little "blasphemous"!
"Don't worry, my broadsword is already hungry and thirsty!"
“……”
"And if you never understand the true ability of the 'Yonglin Knife', it would be disrespectful to it, right?"
"Let him try! I also tried it at the beginning to know that the 'Demon Saint Bronze Vessel' can really soak beef jerky into fresh beef, and it is not only in the 'hair system', but also in the 'fermentation' aspect of the miraculous effect! ”
"That's right, the 'Garuda Knife' is also effective against the peculiar smell in fish and wild vegetables, and I also experimented with it."
The other two dragon chefs with "legendary kitchenware" said so, and Liu Pleiades was even more assured and bold!
Knife down at the kimchi in front of you......
In the eyes of everyone's curiosity...... Kimchi or kimchi! It's not as exaggerated as turning into cabbage directly!
It's also useless for sauerkraut and tofu!
However, after tasting it carefully, Liu Pleiades and Erina looked at each other, and then nodded tacitly......
"How? Have you found any patterns? Liu Kuishan immediately asked.
Liu Pleiades nodded when he heard this, and said: "If you guess correctly, the real ability of the Yonglin Knife should be to 'refuse' to admit a certain change in the ingredients, and the change that can be 'rejected' is limited......"
"'Rejecting' some kind of change? What are the requirements? ”
"I guess there can't be creatures involved! Microorganisms are also counted! Liu Pleiades said.
"'Microorganisms' are also counted?" Many people were still confused, and a few nodded.
Especially Xie Yunlong and Lin Yi, two dragon chefs who also have "legendary kitchenware", naturally understand that "legendary kitchenware" is not invincible, and they have their own limitations......
Erina said at this time: "It should be said that there is a change directly involved in microorganisms, and the Yonglin knife cannot 'refuse', but if it only plays a catalytic role, there is no problem......
Liu Yuxing nodded when he heard this: "That's true." ”
Seeing that many people still don't understand, Liu Pleiades gave an example: "It's like sea bream meat, just because the time exceeds the best tasting period, the umami components are self-decomposed and the cell moisture is lost...... These changes can be 'rejected' by Yonglin Knife, and the processed ingredients can be directly restored to the 'best' appearance!
But if it has been left for too long, it has rotted under the action of microorganisms, or it has been roasted, frozen, or fried by people...... Even the 'Yonglin Sword' would not be able to restore it to its original state. ”
In this way, everyone understands a lot!
This was the case with the previous frozen sea bream, the water loss of the sea bream itself and the decomposition of the umami components have been restored by the Yonglin knife, but the meat damage caused by artificial freezing is still there!
In the same way, those kimchi, sauerkraut and the like have been fermented under the action of microorganisms, which is naturally irreversible......
"Forget about microorganisms, Yonglin Knife...... Can you also 'identify' changes in ingredients, is it human-driven, or is it due to changes in the environment? Liu Lousan wondered.
Liu Pleiades couldn't explain this problem, but Master Xie said, "Yes." ”
Everyone couldn't help but look at it in amazement.
"That's right, I've studied this before, and the 'Garuda Knife' also has this ability to a certain extent...... As for some man-made odors, I have speculated that it is because no matter how good you are cooking, even if you don't know how to cook, when you process the ingredients, the 'source' of the ingredients will change......
It's just that a powerful chef can use his own will to transform the 'source' into the power he wants, that is, the ability of the 'kitchen heart', while the weak chef has a negligible impact on the 'source' and will not be felt, but the 'legendary kitchenware' can recognize this signal! Lin Yi explained.
It seems that these two have really studied their own "artifacts" in normal times!
"In other words, the 'legendary kitchenware' is not effective against the ingredients whose 'source' has been altered?" Liu Lousan nodded with some understanding.
The so-called "'source' has been changed", Liu Pleiades now knows what it means......
Liu Pleiades had consulted Liu Lousan before about whether "Kitchen Heart" and "Source Cuisine" could take effect together, and Liu Lousan immediately corrected Liu Pleiades' thoughts......
As the essence of the will of the chef, the reason why the "kitchen heart" can be infused into the cuisine is that the carrier is the "source" of the ingredients!
In other words, a chef with a "chef's heart" is to show the "source" after changing, and "source cuisine" is to directly show the "source......
Regardless of whether you have a "kitchen heart" or not, the "processing" of ingredients by any other life will cause changes in the "source", but some changes are very subtle and do not affect anything.
Therefore, many three-star restaurants, when the chef makes the signature dish, need to completely do it themselves, or only the chef who has the most tacit understanding with them can participate, because the processing of ingredients by the "chef" may change the "source" and make their "kitchen heart" unable to fully display......
Although Liu Lousan looked like he understood, he was immediately slapped in the face!
Master Xie spoke: "No, it's not invalid, but it can identify whether the 'source' has changed...... For example, my 'Demon Saint Bronze' is the opposite, it only works on the part that changes the 'source', that is, only affects other creatures! For naturally air-dried dried products, it cannot be soaked quickly, and this is especially useful for accelerating fermentation! It can automatically identify miscellaneous bacteria, inhibit the reproduction of other fungi that are not human-contaminated, and only accelerate the effect of the desired fungi or enzymes! ”
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and they had a deeper understanding of the magic of "legendary kitchenware"!
Can the "black box" characteristic of the "source" be used as a condition for judging whether or not to carry out special treatment?
This is no longer as simple as a "supernatural creation", but rather like the result of "super black technology"!
Legend has it that these "artifacts" are all made by the ancient celebrity chef Xu Ling with "stones from beyond the sky......
Originally, regardless of how "ancient" this "ancient" celebrity chef was, including Liu Yuexing, many people originally thought that the so-called "building" should be to make a meteorite with magical power into the shape of kitchen utensils......
As for the special function of these kitchen utensils, it should be that there is already power in the meteorite.
But now it seems that this should not be the case!
These "legendary kitchen utensils" not only have special powers, but also have the "ability to discriminate" whether or not to exert their powers.
If a piece of crystalline silicon falls from the world, can ancient people make computers?
Obviously impossible!
Where do these criteria come from? Could it be Xu Ling......
"Well, the secret of the 'legendary kitchenware' is not something we can understand now, and the chef must learn to focus on the present." Master Xie warned Liu Pleiades so that he wouldn't delay too much time on the "legendary kitchenware".
"Thank you, Master Xie, I understand." Liu Pleiades also said.
Even if you want to study this, you will have to wait until you become a dragon chef!
And the eight elders of the Liu family looked at each other, and for some reason remembered the content of the "prophecy......
In the prophecy, the birth of eight "legendary kitchenware" occupies a very important position, and the disappearance of the ancestors is also related to the "legendary kitchenware......
And now they suddenly discovered that the ability of the "legendary kitchenware" is even more incredible than they imagined, which makes them feel a little uneasy!
"Okay, if you want to use the 'Yonglin Knife' after that, Ah Xing, you can come and get it at any time, as long as you don't take it away from the ancestral house." The elder of the first clan has decided that he must carefully "seal" the Yonglin Sword!
How to "seal"?
The Liu family has prepared a proper plan!
First of all, from the perspective of metaphysics, the "master" of Taoist Buddhism was asked to paste the talisman and recite the scriptures, and then used scientific means to use various equipment and materials for signal interference and isolation to preserve them...... Double insurance.
And Liu Pleiades immediately seized the opportunity and set up an almost ...... with Erina
"Erina, school is almost at the beginning, when are you going back after that? Let's do it together! Liu Pleiades said.
"We have a special plane, and we have applied for a route, so we can go at any time...... But why take you? Erina pouted.
"Don't be so unkind! As a guest invited by the eldest lady, it's okay to take a ride, right? "Liu Pleiades knows that Erina is still unhappy about losing...... There is also the matter of "seven captures and seven verticals"!
"It's okay, then come and go back with us as a guest of 'Second Miss'!" Alice will always be the one who makes trouble!
"No, you don't!" Erina said to her cousin angrily.
Suddenly, Erina seemed to remember something, and said meaningfully: "After I go back, someone will have a chance to 'catch the third time' soon!" But...... Will it be self-defeating? Giggle......"
The third grapple? Liu Yuexing also reacted immediately...... It's the "Ten Masters Seat Battle"!
After the continuous competition between the two sides because of the previous fight with Nagi thistle, the final selection method of the new Ten Masters recognized by the commander-in-chief, the board of directors, and the central gastronomy agency will be held at the beginning of the new school year, and all students can sign up for the "Ten Masters Seat Competition"!
The top five can get the seat of the "Ten Heroes", and then compete with the original five Ten Masters......
Under Liu Pleiasion's reminder, at the end of last semester, the seats of Liu Pleiades, Erina, Isshiki Hui and Kuga Teruki have been handed over to Alice, Scarlet Sand, Chuangzhen and Kurokiba!
The purpose is to make Liu Pleiades, Erina, Isshiki Hui and Jiu I follow the discipline and be able to devote themselves to the "Ten Masterpieces Trial".
The first family of the Liu family is old, and then they also invited the people of the Nagi family, it is better to stay together for the New Year, and then go back.
After all, it's Chinese New Year's Eve night in a few days......
The Nagi family has always been thin, Senzaemon has no brothers of the same generation, and the daughter has passed away, and the son-in-law ...... Don't mention it!
The other relatives were already here, so under the persuasion of Master Xie and others, they agreed.
It wasn't until the fifteenth that he returned to Yuanyue Academy, not only Liu Pleiades was also together, but even Liu Pleiades also took a ride.
On the plane, after entering the stable flight stage, Alice, who was sitting in front of Liu Pleiadin, suddenly turned around, knelt on the chair, put her arm on the back of the chair and talked to Liu Pleiadin.
"By the way, Uncle Ji also handed over the seat of Ji Zhi Guo Ning to Ruishan Zhizuya, who is already three years old, although it still can't change the fact that there is only one seat in the central food organ, but it allows Ji Zhi Guo Ning Ning to participate in the 'Ten Masterpieces Seat Battle'...... What a distress! I wonder if I can rush to the top three? ”
When he heard the news, Liu Pleiades was also taken aback by Nagi Che Thistle's decision......
As for Alice's last sentence, Liu Pleiades automatically blocked it.
It is estimated that she is the last three seats......
Ji Zhiguo Ningning would transfer the seat, which was expected by Liu Pleiades, but it was actually transferred to Ruishan Zhizuya...... Liu Pleiades couldn't figure it out!
For example, when he transferred the seat to Alice and others, he obviously also had his own considerations, the person who won the seat first must not be too weak, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public, once there is a continuous performance that humiliates the college, it may be attacked by the board of directors, so Liu Pleiades chose these four......
But at the same time, you don't have to be the top player on your side!
For example, Ryo Hayama, as well as the enhanced versions of Mito Yumei and Misaku, are not among the transfer places of Liu Pleiades, because he hopes that these top players can seize the remaining five seats like himself, instead of transferring the existing seats.
And Ezuya Ruiyama, who used to be the ninth seat, although he is more obsessed with "management", but his strength in cooking can also stand the test, at least stronger than Rennantaro's foursome.
But Nagi thistle chose to let Eizan be the holder of the current seat?
Does he have stronger hole cards that he can use in the Battle for the Ten Seats?
Liu Yuxing suddenly remembered something, and immediately asked, "How are the transfer students preparing for the assessment?" Who is responsible? ”
Even if Nagi Cutting Thistle still has any hole cards, he can only enter the academy through the transfer student assessment......
And the students who are recruited independently by the pure "Central Gastronomy Institution" have no right to compete for the Ten Masters, such as Lian Nantaro and the others have also passed the assessment of the Far Moon Academy.
Liu Pleiades was also "shocked" to find that the results of Xiongjing Fandao's bone age measurement were really only seventeen years old!
"This year's transfer student examination was entrusted by the board of directors to Mr. Oizumi Kakinosumu and Director Keiura Hisasho." Alice said.
It seems that the people on the board of directors are also worried that the commander-in-chief will block all the students who are transferred to the class......
After all, if you really have the strength to "challenge the top ten" and the age is also in line with the young chef, from the perspective of the board of directors, there is no reason not to accept it, but I hope that the more such students there are, the better!
"It looks like there's going to be a tough fight...... Liu sighed.
"I think the 'Qualifying Battle' is just the right stage for our third battle! You're not going to lose in the top five, are you? I also want to see which of the two of us will have a higher seat! Erina said from the side.
And the scarlet sand is like talking and stopping on the side......
When Liu Yuexing saw it, he couldn't help asking, "Little secretary, have you found anything?" ”
Liu Pleiades called her a "nickname", which was automatically blocked by the scarlet sand, and just replied: "It is said that this time it is not only the people who have to be careful of the general adviser of the middle thistle, it seems that among the students of the middle department who are promoted internally, there are also some people who are concerned......"
Alice immediately said, "Medium? What do those little kids care about? Little secretary, you're too careful, aren't you? ”
Liu Pleiades always felt that she was setting up a flag......
And Liu Yuyuan was listening to the clouds and mountains and mist, but he vaguely understood that it seemed that Yuanyue Academy was not peaceful now.
"What you are talking about in the battle for the seats of the Ten Masters, as long as you win, you can become the Ten Masters?" Liu Yuyuan interjected and asked.
"Huh? What are you doing with your headphones? And you can actually understand the island Chinese? Alice wondered.
"Oh, a device for intelligent translation, don't care."
"You better think about how you can comfort yourself with graduation first! There are definitely more than ten people in the academy who are stronger than you......" Erina struck from the side.
"Don't underestimate the results of my two months of study!"
In the midst of the noise along the way, Liu Pleiades and the others returned to Yuanyue Academy again.
Although there are still three days before the start of school, because the opening ceremony is on the first day of school, and the afternoon is the first game of the "Ten Masters Seat Competition", that is, the "Qualifying Competition", almost all the students have already returned to school in advance to prepare!
Because I said before that "all students" are eligible to apply, everyone's enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, and the number of applicants has reached 300 including the 200 new students, and this does not include the applicants among the transfer students......
Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a qualification battle that is not even counted as a "preliminaries", and first eliminate the students who "join in the fun".
The 50 people who have been promoted will start the official competition from the preliminaries, starting from the preliminaries, with the attention of the academy directors, partners, and invited culinary professionals!
Fifty people are divided into two groups, and each group can advance to five people, and finally between the top 10, there will be a "1vs1" match.
It seems that it is not absolutely fair to use the "ten into five" round elimination system to determine the top five, but everyone understands that the two sides of the duel must be supporters of Senzaemon and Thistle respectively, so they have no opinion on this rule......
"I'm back...... Hey? Maria, I'm not going to be the last one again, am I? "Liu Pleiades returned to Pole Star Liao.
Hearing Liu Pleiades's voice, everyone came out one after another, in addition to the people from Polestar Liao, the Aldini brothers, Misaku Pleiades, Hojo Miyoko and others were actually there......
Liu Pleiades couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart, his "popularity" should not be to the extent that he would be "welcomed" by everyone......
"Ah Xing! I heard that you brought Miss Erina home to meet your parents this vacation? ”
"What's more...... How did I hear that Alice is coming along? ”
"Is it so exciting?"
"By the way, what's the matter with my distant cousin's fiancée? It's said that you're going to transfer to the third grade? ”
"And there'......"
Liu Yuexing's head suddenly grew for a while, and he said secretly: Is there a mistake? I've just come back...... Rumors are coming back sooner than I did? (To be continued.) )
