Chapter 302: Showdown with Ma Qin

"Shuzheng Zhai Maqin Deji, officially accept the cooking duel of wandering chef Liu Pleiades! The items of the duel are...... Yak!

The duel lasts for four hours, so let's take the stage with Deji Machin and his friends from afar! ”

With the announcement of the elders in the village, Liu Pleiades and Deji also went to the ring from both sides......

That's right, it's the ring, and if you change the slogan, you can directly use it to "compete to recruit relatives". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On either side of the ring, there are two bonfires, one of which has a grill on it, and two tandoors, and on the edge of each side, there are long brick hearths, and a small round hearth, next to which are three kinds of carbon that can be taken at will.

As for the ingredients, spices, pots and pans, and two jars of water used in the "cooking duel" between the two, they have also been piled up in the middle of the halves on both sides......

The most conspicuous are the two yaks that have just been slaughtered and have not yet been treated in any other way!

Liu Pleiades also grinned when he saw this...... At the beginning, he just wanted a few pieces of yak meat, and the sum of each part was enough for a maximum of twenty catties, and the reason why he opened his mouth to buy one was because he was worried that there was no yak that had just been slaughtered, and the other party could not slaughter one for his own twenty catties......

As a result, for the sake of this yak, two yaks were used as ingredients for the duel!

You must know that this "main ingredient" is funded by Shuzhengzhai, and you don't have to pay for it whether you win or lose......

This also shows the hospitality of the locals and the level of respect for the rules of "Challenge Machin"!

"Huh? Why is the other party so young? ”

"Uncle Deji can't be a bully, right......"

"I seem to have heard that the other party didn't know this rule at first, you see those auxiliary ingredients and spices, they were still taken from Uncle Deji."

"Really, I thought there was going to be a fight."

"But don't be disappointed! Uncle Deji will not release water in 'Challenge Machin' just because the other party is young! When Uncle Deji was young, in order to hone his cooking skills, he wandered in Western Europe and Southeast Asia for ten years, and only came back a few years ago to become a Maqin in the village, how would he take care of this yak? I'm really looking forward to it......"

Although Erina and the others didn't understand much, what the onlookers were saying, but from their looks, they could also see their contempt for Liu Pleiades.

Seeing this, Alice couldn't help but cheer loudly: "Ah Xing! Come on! Let them know awesome! ”

At this time, most of the onlookers were young people who also had ideals and wanted to become "Maqin" in the village in the future.

Although I didn't know what Alice was shouting, I also knew that I was cheering, so they all sang and danced to cheer for Dejiga!

And some of the "adults" in the village are much calmer, and even Erina is slightly away from her cousin, as if she wants to pretend not to know her.

"It's still a yak that hasn't been handled, can this kid be divided?"

"After all, if you call yourself a cook, you can't even dismember large livestock, right? It's just a matter of time...... I guess most of the time will be spent here! ”

"Deji is really, so it's good to cut the yak meat for others......"

Some of the Tibetans watching in the village couldn't help but feel anxious for Liu Yuexing.

But at this moment, as Liu Pleiades took out a "kitchen knife" wrapped in an oilcloth from the package, everyone's tone changed again!

"Is this a kitchen knife?"

"Not even a meter, right? Does it really work? ”

"Everyone, be careful, he's going to start 'dumping'...... Don't fly out again! ”

That's right, it's the biggest kitchen knife that looks like it's going to "unravel" in the next second!

Deji looked at Liu Pleiades who took out the largest "cattle chopping knife", and couldn't help but be a little surprised, but Liu Pleiades's eyes were already focused on the "yak" in front of him.

The two yaks were just slaughtered, and the posture showed the appearance of four hooves and prostrate stacked in the half-court confidence of both sides, and Liu Pleiades first carried a knife in one hand, and turned around the yak, while using the other hand, constantly groping for what the yak looked like, and after touching it, he stood in the direction opposite the cow's head......

I saw Liu Yuexing ignore the doubts around him and slowly raised the huge "cattle cutting knife".

"Fierce Bull Green Dragon Slash!"

With a few cold flashes, the long-haired cowhide on the yak's body bloomed like petals, and it had been completely removed!

In the "stamen" part, I saw that the body of the yak was also broken from the back of the spine, neck meat, shoulder meat, ribs, waist eyes, hind rumps, brisket, oxtail, limbs, tail, ...... Except for the bull's head, which did not move, the other parts have been roughly divided!

It was only less than half a minute before and after, and the people around him, including Deji on the opposite side, hadn't seen how Liu Pleiades moved!

Not to mention how the knife was made, even how he had no superfluous movements on his upper body, and the next movements that appeared in all directions of the yak were not clearly seen.

I only know that there is no hesitation between each knife, and each knife must decompose a part of the yak......

And after each part is cut off in large pieces, the internal organs, stomach, intestines, spleen, liver, and kidneys are ...... It was almost still in place without any damage, and it was shaved clean by Liu Pleiades a few times!

In less than half a minute, the entire yak was dismembered......

Not to mention a young man, even if he is fifty or sixty years old, and his physical strength is still experienced, he can be "praised" for many years if he can do this!

Yes, it was during the "China Banban" period that Wren mastered the slaughtering and decomposition technique of large livestock "Fierce Bull Green Dragon Chop", ......

Wren used this trick to instantly decompose the buffalo.

And Liu Pleiades used "super touch" to touch before to understand the body structure of the yak and the difference between it and the buffalo.

After that, although it was not as fast as the dismemberment of the buffalo, the dismemberment of the yak was completed in the early twenties, which was enough to shock the audience!

In the end, in the silence, Alice was the first to react, and began to cheer for Liu Pleiades more enthusiastically, after all, the second lady, who has lived under the aura of Erina since childhood, hates people who look down on her or the people around her the most.

And every time at this time, I will fight back in a "willful" way!

For example, there are some grudge provocations against other people, but unfortunately the language is not understood, and the provocation effect is weakened by 80%......

Some of the "adults" who can understand are obviously not willing to meet Alice, who seems to be still in the category of "children".

Most of the yaks in Jiuzhaigou belong to Jiulong yaks, and some large wild yaks can even reach a heavy meal!

However, the domesticated and grazed yak is usually much smaller, such as the Kowloon yak and the white yak, which are considered to be relatively small among the yaks, and the adult bull is about 270 kilograms, and the adult bull of the buffalo will weigh three times as much, and the adult bull of the cattle also has two and a half of it!

However, the weight of the yak is more "physique", it looks majestic, and it will not have the feeling of "round" meat like beef cattle......

The slaughter rate of buffalo and yak, or the meat rate, is about half, that is, 270 kilograms of yak, can be divided into about 140 kilograms of yak meat, while the slaughter rate of cattle is slightly higher, and the slaughter rate of some bred beef cattle can even reach 60%.

However, in terms of meat quality, yak meat is still very different from buffalo and cattle.

After all, authentic yaks are all pure grazing breeding, and the grazing cattle whose food is mainly grassy plants are obviously not the same as those of cattle whose food is mainly feed.

Although the meat quality and nutrition of intensively fed cattle is not necessarily worse than that of grazing cattle, it is generally believed that grazing cattle will have "game" that is not found in raised cattle!

Some people even believe that the meat quality of grazing animals should be semi-farmed and semi-wild......

Yaks are generally considered to have a more "bovine flavor" than ordinary beef cattle, although in terms of commercial value, they are not as good as those in the front row of Australian beef grading, island beef grading or American beef grading.

And if you use other grading methods to rate yaks, the grade will not be high.

The reason is simple, no matter what kind of classification, the fat content of beef, or the division of "snowflake" and "frost", is an important consideration, usually snowflake beef has a high fat content at the same time, cholesterol content will decrease, and it is also commonly considered to be a symbol of high quality beef

For example, counterfeit Kobe beef is injected with fat in ordinary beef, resulting in a "snowflake" that looks beautiful on the beef......

However, the characteristics of yak are that the calories and fat are smaller than ordinary beef, and the cooking methods are also very different......

To a certain extent, if it is the same beef, the comparison between snowflake beef and yak meat, if you let the meat master Mito Yumei choose, you will definitely choose the former, and if you let the spice master Ryo Hayama choose, maybe there will be a different answer!

The "beef flavor", which is heavier than ordinary beef, will create a different flavor from ordinary beef if it is cooked properly.

Of course, if you don't have enough skills, it can be self-defeating.

If Liu Pleiades did not have a "super tactile sense", he would not be able to perceive the structural difference between yaks and ordinary beef cattle in a short period of time.

Even if it weren't for the awakening of the "Sword Skill Divine Essence", it wouldn't have been able to do it so cleanly!

"I seem to have seen this kind of knife technique somewhere, you are the Lei family...... Wrong! Liu...... Pleiades? Wait, you won't be the one from the 'Liu family', right? Originally, I heard about the relationship between the 'Liu family' and Yuanyue...... Ahem, I thought it was just a coincidence! Deji said with a blazing eye.

The Liu family's base camp, or the core of their influence on the culinary world, is in Guangzhou, but in their hometown of Sichuan, the children of the Liu family are also often haunted.

It's just that after Tokuji recognized Erina at the beginning, he originally thought of some of the discord between the Yuanyue family and the Liu family, so he didn't think about Liu Pleiades and Liu Pleiades to the Liu family.

The Lei family can use the "Fierce Bull Green Dragon Slash", and the number of people who can use the "Fierce Bull Green Dragon Slash" is more than one palm, even Lei Yu may not be able to do better in knife skills than Liu Pleiades who awakened the "Divine Essence of Sword Skills", but Deji has indeed seen similar knife techniques and feels familiar.

"Huh? It's true that my surname is Liu, but it does have something to do with them...... "Liu Pleiades didn't know how to explain it.

"I see, it looks like I'm going to have to give it my all!" Deji said that he had already taken out his own boning knife, but the size was more than one size smaller than Liu Pleias's.

Liu Pleiades at the beginning, after simply dividing the various parts of the yak, it took more than ten minutes, pads with yak skin, and used a smaller "cattle knife" to further divide most of the yak meat......

When he was at Deji's house, Liu Pleiades also saw this Ma Qin's kitchen, although all kinds of equipment could not be as readily available as in the Yuanyue Hotel and Yangquan Hotel, but they should also have them, and there were even some partial equipment, which was no less modern than that of ordinary restaurants, which was completely different from the style of the house that looked retro from the outside.

I didn't expect that in the cooking duel of "Challenge Machin", it was still so retro, and there was not even a cooking table.

The upper brain behind the shoulder meat, the outer ridge at the back of the waist ribs, the so-called "sirloin", the eye meat between the upper brain and the sirloin, the filet, which is the most suitable for steak, the fillet, that is, the tenderloin, the three-way meat, forest meat, and triangular beef forest on the back of the rump, as well as the front breast, back breast, three tendons, chili meat, beef brisket, shellfish, flower tendon meat, and money tendon meat......

Although he was half-kneeling on the stage and was treated with yak leather pads, it only took ten minutes for Liu Pleiades to do a more detailed slitting process.

Perhaps because of the fresh air, although the weather is very cold, the afternoon sun in Jiuzhaigou is unusually bright.

And under this bright sunshine, on the yak leather mat in front of Liu Pleiades, pieces of yak meat that have been classified are vivid......

"What's going on? Do you have a feeling...... It seems like...... These raw yak meat are placed here, and they make people look very appetizing! ”

"It's weird indeed, especially when he's just finished cutting......"

"I felt it too, as if he was slicing the grilled yak meat that had been grilled just right, with my favorite sauce smeared on it!"

And Erina and the others, as well as several other Maqin present, felt it even stronger, but it only disappeared in a flash when each part of the meat was cut, and after Liu Pleiades finished cutting, this feeling immediately dissipated.

However, only a few people guessed what was going on, and they had a deeper understanding of Liu Pleiaus's knife skills......

That's right, it is precisely because of the superb sword skills that there is a hint of the harbinger of stimulating the "source".

Of course, it's just a harbinger, and it's still far from "source cuisine"!

At this time, unlike the performance of the people on the field, Deji, who was on the same stage as Liu Pleiaus, seemed to be unconscious and was still carrying out his own process......

Liu Pleiades also glanced up and found that Deji was cleaning the yak's internal organs.

Although it can't be compared with Liu Yuexing's knife skills, it can be regarded as a sharp action.

But what Liu Pleiades doesn't understand is that what Deji is doing now is simply "competing" with the internal organs of the cow, and there is no meaning of cutting yak meat at all, which is usually the case......

"Do you want to cook the whole yak together?" Liu Yuxing wondered in his heart.

But he didn't think much about it, but turned over and went to prepare the sauce and sauce for himself......

Although Uncle Deji selflessly lent all his spices to Liu Pleiades, it was still not very complete.

There are all the basic spices, but some of the more off-the-beaten-path spices, only French and Thai spices, are relatively complete.

Therefore, Liu Pleiades is also crossing the river by feeling the stones, and even tasting the taste of spices while configuring sauces and sauces!

After all, the quality of the spices brought by Uncle Deji's family can only be said to be average, and the individual differences are relatively large......

I saw Liu Yuexing sitting on the ground, holding a steel rod in three jars and a sea bowl, pounding large pieces of root and stem spices.

By the time Liu had prepared several sauces, sauces, and what appeared to be spice packets for cooking, Deji had already cleaned the whole yak's internal organs.

At the same time, Liu Pleiades also put the flower tendon meat of the front leg into a jar with sauce, and the money tendon meat of the hind leg was put into a large jar together with the sauce and water in the sea bowl......

It is worth noting that the bonfire is used for cooking, because the temperature is not as easy to control as the stove, and it is difficult for normal ordinary cooks to grasp it, but Liu Pleiades easily lit the bonfire, and then hung the jar with a handle on the bonfire.

The height of the shelves was also adjusted so that the jar was grilled by a bonfire at the most suitable distance......

Seeing Liu Pleiasion's action, several Maqin in the audience were also slightly discussing, I don't know if Liu Pleiades really judged the temperature, or was he pretending to be a momentum?

In addition, the sirloin is sliced and boiled, the ribs are wrapped in minced onions, the beef brisket is soaked in barley wine and massaged, and the tenderloin, or filet, is boiled in water with a whole spice wrap......

At the same time, Liu Pleiades also did something that others did not understand, that is, using the hearth, after lighting the charcoal fire inside, he put the iron pot that had been empty into it, and then sealed the hearth with earth, leaving only some ventilation holes.

And Uncle Deji's actions also made many people scratch their heads, and he actually sewed up the hollowed out and skinned yak from the abdomen!

"Huh? Is it to roast a whole beef? ”

"I've heard of roasted whole sheep, but roasted whole beef is rare, right?"

"With such a big cow, can it really be roasted in time?"

"It's not just the question of cooking, it's also about roasting whole beef with a sauce that marinates the inside and outside of the beef, and this cow ...... If you grill it directly, it's not only difficult to cook it completely, but it's also difficult to absorb the flavor even if you only use the outer layer as a dish, right? ”

Erina and the others were puzzled, and they all expressed their confusion about Deji's behavior.

And several "Maqin" who have a good relationship with Deji can't help but light up, as if they have guessed what he is going to do!

"Deji, that's a real ...... It's so serious about teenagers! ”

"Kid? Are you a teenager...... No, at this time, can you be like the other party, can you divide the yak in an instant? ”

"This ......"

"It seems that Deji knew some of the opponent's strength before, and he is ready to show his talents! The last time I saw this seven-fold roasted whole beef was when he returned to the village three years ago after his trip and won the title of 'Machin', right? ”

"That's right, it's a bit of an expectation when you think about it......"

When Erina and the others saw the other people who were also Maqin, they couldn't help but sink their hearts and pay more attention to Uncle Tokuji's movements.

I saw that after sewing the belly of the yak, he did put on a posture of "roasting the whole cow", and after cutting off the head of the cow, he pierced the head and tail of the yak into the horizontal drill and put it on the grill.

But then instead of raising the fire or applying the sauce, some parts of the yak were cut open...... Or should I say "digging up"?

In many places, deep hole-shaped wounds remained, and pieces of beef that were dug up were set aside, mashed and mixed with spices to make sauce, and some soaked in sauce for later use.

After that, the remaining decapitated yaks, which were already "full of holes", were roasted on the shelves where the fire was raised, and Deji came over from time to time to turn around and change the face.

Seeing that nearly half of the time had passed, Deji began to gradually put back most of the yak meat that was "taken out"!

Some of them are whole and half-fist-sized pieces of marinated yak meat that have been directly backfilled, while others are stuffed meat that has been made into a sauce and stuffed into it.

Of course, there are also some meats that are not backfilled, but the holes left are not wasted, or they are filled with sauce and then sewn with thread, or "strange things" are put in.

It is half the size of a palm, and it looks like a multi-iron mesh on the outside, hollow on the inside, and the opening part on the top and part of the lid is in the shape of a long tube......

The most important thing is that before this kind of thing was put into the roasted yak, everyone also saw that Deji was filled with pieces of red-hot charcoal inside!

Seven of these things were put into it, and apparently the size of the holes on them was deliberately set aside so large, just enough to jam these charcoal-wrapped things inside.

After doing this, Deji breathed a sigh, and at this time, it was only about twenty minutes before the end, and Liu Pleiades's cooking was also in the final stage......

Different from Deji, Liu Pleiades made different dishes with different parts of yak, one of which was a "whole beef feast" and the other was a "roasted whole beef"!

Not to mention Liu Pleiades' other arrangements, the most puzzling thing is naturally the "buried pot hearth", and now Liu Pleiades finally walked over, and at the same time he was holding some other things in his hand that made people scratch their heads.

It is the boiled loin and sliced meat, the bracken bracken, and the seasoning spices such as green onion and ginger, which look like a pretreatment before "stir-frying"!

But the loin of the yak is not suitable for stir-frying......

When he arrived at the stone bricks, Liu Pleiades directly kicked the bricks and stones away, revealing the original empty pot inside, and at this time, he saw that the iron pot inside had been closed and roasted in two or three hours of charcoal, and it was already burned red!

"Oh my God, what is he going to do?"

"Can such a pot be used to cook ingredients?"

"He, he's picked it up! Only a towel was padded...... Wait, that's not a towel, is it? That's a special new technology insulation, right? ”

That's right, Liu Pleiades only padded a layer of towels at this time, and picked up the red-hot pot!

What others don't know is that the reason why Liu Pleiades symbolically put on a towel is mainly to protect their three views, not to protect their hands...... (To be continued.) )
