"I didn't expect Ah Xing to really be suppressed...... Erina...... Is this what she's capable of? If I play, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get even 3 points for each dish, right? Liu Yuyuan said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It can't be regarded as arrogant, the scores of the representatives of the Liu family in the first round of the previous few times, each dish did hover around 3 points, and it showed a trend of "regression"!

After all, with the deepening of the "great integration of world cuisines", the defects of the Liu family's cultivation model are becoming more and more obvious.

And now on the scoreboard, on Erina's side, two scores have been written, and she is also presenting the dish for the third time, but Liu Pleiades has been "silent" since the first dish of "mapo sea bream tofu" has been "silent" until now.

The scoreboard is purely "handwritten", and after each time the judges give a score, Liu Lousan uses a large brush like a spear to write on a scroll that looks like a carpet, and then hangs it.

Erina's first two dishes, "Gofuku sea bream meatballs" and "Kabayaki sea bream", received 4.16 and 4.02 points, respectively......

Because the scores given by the judges can have one decimal place, after the average score is calculated, there will be two decimal places.

And Liu Pleiades's "Mapo Sea Bream Fish Balls" scored 4.10 points, which is slightly better than Erina's "Wufu Sea Bream Fish Balls", but the difference of 0.06 points does not affect anything.

For example, Erina's second course of "Kabayaki sea bream" also "only" received 4.02 points!

Although the maximum score for each dish is 5 points, this score is definitely not low......

It was only after tasting the first dish of both sides that the judges determined the scoring criteria, and Master Xie even sighed at the time: "Today's young people are really getting more and more amazing!" According to this standard, a dish that can score 4.5 points is considered a 'signature dish' in a three-star restaurant, right? ”

"It's okay, it's just 0.06, it's not very important...... But what worries me is that Liu has not presented the dishes again since the first course was served...... After all, it was suddenly attacked by the other party with 'frozen sea bream', and if there is no idea for the next three dishes, it is the real danger. Liu Lousan said.

Liu Kuishan shook his head: "Probably not, although he hasn't delivered it, but he has been busy, he should already have an idea, but he wants to present the last two, or even the last three dishes at the same time?" ”

Here, when Liu Kuishan and others were speculating about Liu Pleiades's situation, the judges also began to taste the "sea bream dumplings" presented by Erina.

"Huh? This is a 'fish skin dumpling' made of minced fish as a dumpling wrapper, right? Look at this level of crystalline, it's not something that can be done with machinery alone......"

Hearing the words "fish skin dumplings", Liu Pleiaus, who was rolling something with fish meat, couldn't help but look up at the judges' seat.

Liu Pleiades and Erina had a "halberd" before, that is, the halberd that was nominally Erina and the "Sumo Hot Pot Research Society......

A year ago, Erina's cooking skills were far inferior to now, and the "super taste" was not completely liberated, and because she didn't expect the other party to replace Liu Pleiades, she was careless, so she finally lost.

At that time, Erina presented "Norwegian languine dumplings"!

Now, after a year of further study, my cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and my sense of taste has been fully awakened, and I am subjectively doing my best...... It can even be said that because of the stimulation of "two lovers" before, it has entered a rare state of excitement......

And what she presented in her third dish was another "dumpling" type dish, and I don't know if it was planned a long time ago, or because the opponent was Liu Pleias, and it was designed on the spot.

With Erina's ability and personality, it is very likely that she will design a recipe on the spot and replace the previous preparation!

The "sea bream dumplings" presented to each judge by Erina, each of which was still only three, were placed in the middle of the plate, and next to them were a few pieces of broccoli, carrot slices, and some colorful syrups outlined as decorations......

The dumplings look crystal clear from the outside, not pure white, but faintly visible the uniform flesh-colored filling inside, which shows that it is not pure white dough.

The size and appearance of each dumpling are uniform, and the shape is similar to a circle, among which the belly of the dumpling with filling is approximately oval, and the outer edge is a flame-shaped dumpling that is not wide to make up for the circle, and this time there is no additional thickening.

Each of the five judges picked up a "sea bream dumpling", and when he put it in his mouth, Master Xie once again burst out of his muscles without mentioning it, and the judges could almost hear their rhythmic first chewing!

The crisp texture that runs along your teeth instantly spreads to the bones of your body, and the "pleasure" spreads like an electric shock......

"This—this is ...... It's so crispy! ”

"It's the same as the previous 'Wufu Ball', you can't imagine its taste until you eat it!"

"That's right, I've been imagining as much as possible what the texture of this 'sea bream dumpling' will look like...... Originally, I thought that being able to bounce like shrimp dumplings was already the limit......"

"There is a ...... in this fish dumpling wrapper Wrong! It's the inner layer of the fish dumpling skin, and the fish filling inside is wrapped in a 'fish button', right? ”

Fish buckle, one version is the bone in the throat of the fish...... But when used in Chinese cuisine, in most cases, it refers to the stomach pouch of fish!

The texture is crispy and firm, and after marinating, it can remove the fishy smell on it and use it as an ingredient.

Erina's "sea bream dumplings" are wrapped in a thin layer of fish buckles on the inner layer of the "fish dumpling skin" to make the taste clearer and lock in the flavor of the filling!

"Not only that, but this 'sea bream dumpling' also gives me some more subtle feelings, which is ......"

"It's the temperature difference! The temperature of the fish dumpling wrapper is about 5 degrees Celsius compared to the filling, and this temperature difference is not gradual, but tightly combined but sudden, which will change the 'taste'...... Of course, it is not the texture of the food that changes, but the feeling that the mouth receives when it receives this change in temperature, which is fed back to the nerves. Lin Yi said.

"Huh? And this kind of thing...... Master Lin, is this technique common? Be...... What cuisine? Tang Song wondered.

"No, this method of taking advantage of the temperature difference is a way to change the 'taste' that has recently emerged in conjunction with the 'new cuisine', and the sensation of the temperature in the mouth is also used in cooking...... However, this 'sea bream dumpling' achieves this temperature difference by isolating the 'fish button', rather than using the equipment of 'Shin Cuisine'. Lin Yi said.

That's right, Erina injected high-temperature sea bream fat into the filling after the "sea bream dumplings" cooled down slightly!

Because of the isolation of the fish buckle, the internal temperature is significantly higher than that of the outer skin.

"It seems like a simple process, but it has an unexpected effect! As with the previous kabayaki sea bream, the frozen sea bream is burned and absorbed by the fat part that is cumbersome during the grilling, making the meat firm after grilling......

"I don't know if it's a misinformation, but I've always heard that Erina Nagikiri, the 'Tongue of God', is more indulged in 'high-end' cooking methods, and is flawed in the skills and application of ingredients of some of the lower riba people...... Now, it seems, this is not the case! Lei Yu said with a slight movement in his eyes.

"That's right, there is only a distinction between suitable and unsuitable cooking skills, and there is no distinction between high and low, and now Erina is the real skill that tends to be completed!" Tang Song nodded when he heard this.

Sure enough, this "sea bream dumpling" also received a high score of more than 4 points, and even Lin Yi, who gave the lowest score, also gave a score of 4.0, with an average final score of 4.18, which is the dish with the highest score on both sides so far......

In other words, Erina has steadily cooked three two-star dishes, and I believe that if she conducts a personal level assessment, the chance of passing will also be very high!

"Oops! Another 4 points or more...... In previous years, there were not so many 4-point ......" Liu Yuyuan was a little anxious.

"Indeed, the representatives of the Yuanyue Department in the first two years were all graduates who were close to 20 years old, and this time Erina was only sixteen years old, but the results were even more terrifying!" Liu Lousan said.

"And that's not all, every time there is a 'showdown in front of the gods', although the five judges are 'fair', not every year's scoring criteria are the same...... I used to taste a dish from two people before I started to score it, and that's why! ”

"That's right, according to Master Lin's previous statement, if you score 4.5 or more, you will have the level of three-star cuisine...... I'm afraid that 4 points also has a two-star level, and this scoring standard is also higher than in previous years! ”

"I originally thought that Ichiro Ichami twenty years ago and Kojiro Shinomiya ten years ago were already monster-level young chefs, but I didn't expect that a new 'monster' ...... would be added to the Tozuki system."

Several clan elders of the Liu family also looked a little dignified.

However, Liu Kuishan said at this time: "It can't be said that Erina is not only a distant moon family, but also a person who separates the family!" Look at her scroll, she also signed Chinese name, and there are still ...... according to the genealogy"

The other clan elders didn't know what they were thinking, so they didn't answer.

As the party concerned, Liu Pleiades is still preparing his last three dishes unhurriedly, and it seems that he has made up his mind to present them at the same time.

On the other side, Erina has been boiling something, and it seems that her fourth dish is soup......

Finally, when the sky darkened and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, Erina presented three servings of soup, while Liu Pleiades placed five servings of "snack groups" on the trolley!

This first round of matchups started at 10 o'clock in the morning and the time limit was six hours, and both sides made good use of time......

Although it was a whole day, the five judges were not hungry with Erina's "Gofuku Balls", "Kabayaki Sea Bream" and "Sea Bream Dumplings", as well as Yoo Pleiausung's "Mapo Sea Bream Tofu".

The first thing presented was Erina's fish soup, which was presented to the five judges in front of a small casserole with a light brown and slightly whitish broth, and a small bowl of red sauce on the side......

"Huh? Is this to adjust the flavor of the soup with the sauce yourself? ”

"But let's try the original soup first!"

The judges stirred the soup slightly with a spoon, and the soup, which was not clear, immediately became even more "turbid......

However, several judges were obviously not surprised, and they all lowered their heads and tasted the soup in the spoon......

It is not a clear soup, but there are many syrupy ingredients in it, so each bite is very full.

The slightly spicy umami flavor in the mouth and nose made the judges feel like they were surrounded by a school of marine fish during diving......

"It's ...... And 'star anise' in the soup? Coincidentally, this is my favorite! Tang Song said with a smile.

"Sure enough, it is a French fish soup method, in which the spices are removed halfway through the boil, and the fish and other auxiliary ingredients are minced into a puree, and then put back into the soup with the spices to boil......

"Ahh Sure enough, after adding this red juice, the spicy flavor is blended into it, and the taste is even more wonderful! ”

"No...... It's not spicy, but spicy is more suitable! Is it a sauce made with saffron? ”

"Wait! Snapper meat is not suitable for boiling soup, and usually this French thick fish soup usually uses crimson carp that is not rich in fat, or silver cod that is concentrated under the skin and easy to remove...... After all, even if it's frozen sea bream, it's too rich in oil, but this soup ......"

"The sea bream fish meat must have been grilled first, steamed out with fat, and then used as an ingredient for soup!"

"That's right, in the kaiseki cuisine of the island country, there is sea bream soup, and there is a steaming and grilling step before boiling."

"I see...... This is the charm of the era of world cuisine! ”

In appreciation, the judges gave Erina a high score of 4.34!

It also surpassed Erina's own last "sea bream gyoza" and became the highest-scoring dish so far.

And because Liu Pleiades was just smiling and watching from the sidelines, he didn't look anxious, so the judges were almost full and sent the whole bowl of soup into their stomachs......

Most of the red juice in the small dishes is used up according to personal taste, and it is obvious that every level of spiciness has been tried.

The Liu family, including Liu Yuyuan, is already anxious, after all, the judges' satiety will also affect their impression of the dishes!

And Alice Nagi muttered below: "Hey, because it's Erina, so you deliberately gave in?" Doesn't he usually like to react to the judges' dishes as soon as they taste each other's dishes? ”

"No, I feel like there should be other reasons, Ah Xing doesn't look like he would release water at such a time......" Scarlet Sand said.

Just as Alice was about to retort, Leonora spoke, "That's true, Alice, you still don't know enough about men...... Look at his expression! That's not the look you get when you release water! ”

That's right, Leonora is very familiar with this kind of "smiling" expression, even if it is the male (bian) person (tai) who is heavily controlled by his wife and daughter, when he shows this expression, it means that he is fighting......

"His last three dishes should not be staple foods, so I chose to go up last...... Tsk, what a cunning guy, looking like coaxing girls to be happy, in fact, secretly pregnant with ghosts, that's what kind of person I'm talking about! Nagi Zong Wei did not hesitate to "slander" Liu Pleiasian, and almost posted a big-character poster.

At this time, Liu Pleiaus also put five plates in front of the five judges......

Sure enough, they are not staple foods, although the two that are exposed, I can't see what they are for the time being, but the amount is not large.

The two dishes that are exposed are arranged in a triangular shape on the plate, and it is a small bowl with an upside-down button...... The smallest is smaller than the bowl for the sauce, and the bowl is not as big as a can!

On the outside, there are small pieces of golden grilled fish that are half the size of a palm, and rows of "fish plates" that are about the same size that are stacked on top of each other......

Yes, it does look like a fish plate, each piece is round, and the white has a red mosquito coil-like pattern on it.

However, it is not like the fish plate in the usual sense, it is obviously a round piece pressed out of the mold as a whole, and the "fish plate" in Liu Pleia's astrolabe seems to be a circle made of two ingredients.

At the same time, it is also drizzled with a creamy sauce......

The judges were obviously very interested in the fishboard-like thing, and they were the first to put the "fishboard" down.

When you clamp it, you can find that this "fish board" is really composed of two ingredients, just like two mosquito coils pressed together, and it is slightly separated at the edge after being clamped.

The sauce on it is a little sticky......

"Huh? Is melted hot cheese added to the sauce? This ...... What is your name? Tang Song wasn't quite sure what it should be.

"I named it 'Jewels'...... As for the sauce, cheese is indeed added to the sauce, which is also the inspiration for the first dish of Erina's 'Gofuku Maruko'! Of course, there is also a senior sister in this dish who also inspired me, but who allowed me to sell it first. Liu Pleiades said.

Erina's face froze for a moment, and then she exclaimed in a strange voice: "Giggles, you really 'have a pair of eyes that find love'!" Feel free to get inspiration from 'Senpai'! ”

"Huh? You are still a little unskilled in Chinese, is it the eye that discovers 'beauty'? ”

"Come to my room at night, I'll let you taste my food before!" Erina said with a smile.

is also smiling, Liu Pleiades couldn't help but shudder after seeing it, but as a man's instinct, he told him that he shouldn't be coaxed down when the girl invited him to the room at night!

Remembering his previous plan again, he couldn't help but say, "Okay! I just want to take you and Alice and Scarlet Sand to play around...... Why don't you call Liu Yuyuan then? I'd like to ask her to be your guide! Huh? What do you hear? Liu Pleiades seemed to hear the sound of grinding teeth.

The judges also ignored the fact that the two sides of the duel began to "date" in public, as well as someone's death, and bowed their heads to taste the so-called "full house......

Just before the entrance, the judges felt that the name was a little inappropriate, after all, it was round and not spherical, and there was no gold in sight!

But just after chewing, two completely different textures and tastes that are close to each other burst out of the "round piece......

"It's ...... I see! Is it 'pig' and 'fish' full of 'sugar'? ”

"That's right, the red part is the ham...... And it's a good Xuanhua ham! ”

"It seems that it is sliced sea bream and ham slices, rolled together, tied and grilled, and finally the ham and fish are rolled up and cut into slices according to the cross-section before being served!"

"A layer of honey is smeared between the fish and the ham, and the honey softens the protein, so that the grilled sea bream meat does not have the toughness of 'grilled fillet' at all, but softens it, and it also serves as a bridge between the two......

"Served with a slight acidity of cheese and frankincense...... It can really be called a dim sum that can 'light up the heart'! ”

That's right, the "senior sister" who gave Liu Pleiades inspiration is naturally Mu Jiuzhiyuan Fruit......

Yuan Guo also invited Liu Pleiades to go to the "Spring Fruit Pavilion" on vacation, but because of the reason of returning to China, Liu Pleiades had to temporarily refuse, but promised to go to see her if there was enough time before the start of school.

"And the grilled fish fillet here! It's just a slightly lukewarm temperature, and honey is also added, and the taste is ...... On the outside of the fish fillet, another layer of honey was brushed, and then it was stained with fish crumbs! The skin is surprisingly soft, and the whole piece of fish inside is still tough! ”

At this time, although he was the oldest, Master Xie, who was the most active, couldn't help but open the small bowl in the middle of the plate, and saw that the finished product inside was smaller than the small bowl......

On the outside, a long slice of cucumber stands up, while on the inside is a white, uneven ingredient no bigger than a cherry......

I have to say that the amount of this dish is indeed the smallest! (To be continued.) )
