"Huh? Deji, why did you come back so early? ”

"There were a few little chefs who wanted to challenge me, and the pasture was handed over to Bianba to help me watch...... Quick, notify the little ones who want to make 'Machin', as well as those who want to see the excitement, and I will have a 'cooking duel' with them in the old place in the afternoon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After Deji took Liu Pleiades and others back to the village, he and several other clansmen who did not go out spoke in Tibetan.

Although Liu Yuexing and the others didn't understand much, they could guess a rough idea by looking at the eyes of others looking at them and the others.

"Uncle Deji, when are we going to start ......?"

"Hahaha, no hurry! Look at the way you look, you're still hungry, aren't you? At noon, we will eat at my house, and then in the afternoon, we can go to the 'cooking table' in the village. Deji said magnificently.

Erina and the other women immediately had a gleam in their eyes, looking at their unreserved appearance, Liu Pleiades couldn't even say a few polite words!

"Then thank you, Uncle Deji."

"Let's go, the front is my house, and I'll talk to you while eating the rules!"

Although Deji refuses to regress at all in the rules of "Machin", but other than that, he is very bold and hospitable.

From the outside, Deji's house is a typical Tibetan watchhouse, made of stone, which looks like a blockhouse.

The interior layout seems to be a little simple at first glance, but it is also very ethnic characteristics, as soon as Deji entered the house, he first poured a bowl of slightly yellowish "butter tea" for several people.

Liu Pleiades noticed that in the big wooden barrel that Deji took out the butter tea, there was the sound of mechanical operation, and it was also a two-part machine, it seems that this tea barrel that looks retro on the outside is actually mechanically stirred inside!

And after Deji made the butter tea, he added something to it before bringing it over.

"This is our specialty 'butter tea', which is very calortic, can relieve your hunger, and can also relieve altitude sickness, so as not to eat meat directly for a while, which is not good for the stomach, but although I have made some improvements to take care of your foreigners' appetite, I don't know if you are used to drinking it......

Since you are also cooks, I will not be polite to you, I am the only one in the family, I have to help you make something, if you still want to drink, you can take it yourself, there is it on the table of tsamba. Deji said and went to the kitchen first.

Normally, according to Tibetan etiquette, when guests are invited to drink "butter tea", they must be drunk by the guests and constantly added by the host, and even if the guests reach the end, they cannot drink it all at once, so as to show the "atmosphere" of the host.

However, Deji doesn't have time to chat with Liu Pleiades and others now, and since they are "peers", Deji also thinks that the other party can understand, not to mention that he is also preparing lunch for Liu Pleiades and others......

"Trouble Uncle Deji!" Liu Yuxing took the butter tea with both hands and thanked him.

After that, Liu Pleiades placed a plate of food that looked like "cookies" but had a very random shape in the middle of the table......

It is obviously not the first time that Liu Yuyuan has dealt with Tibetans, and he has not shown anything yet, but Erina, Scarlet Shazi and Alice looked at the "butter tea" in front of them, which looked thick and had a layer of oil flowers floating on it, and looked a little embarrassed.

After Uncle Deji went to the kitchen, Alice immediately said, "This...... Is it really 'tea'? This color ...... Is it milk tea? But why should milk tea be refueled? ”

"Yes, it smells a little ...... Strange taste! ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuyuan said: "This is the unique 'butter tea' of the Tibetan people, and 'ghee' refers to a kind of cream extracted from the milk of cattle and sheep, which is mixed with boiled brick tea and a little salt...... This slightly yellowish 'butter tea' should be made of milk ghee, and nine times out of ten it is yak milk. ”

Generally, the more fully the ghee and tea are mixed, the higher the production technique of ghee tea...... But no matter how sufficient, a layer of oil on top can't be avoided!

"Let's try it! Any food that has been passed down for a long time will certainly not be without strengths! Alice looked generous.

The five of them picked up the tea bowl together, Erina and Alice only took a few sips first, while Scarlet Shazi learned from Liu Pleiades and Liu Pleiades and swallowed a big mouthful!

But after all, I was a little unaccustomed to drinking, and Erina and the others frowned slightly after taking a sip...... Anyway, Uncle Deji wasn't here, and everyone didn't suppress their expressions.

"It tastes a little weird...... But if you taste it carefully, it's quite fragrant. Liu Yuxing smacked his lips and said.

"It seems that there is some other flavor...... do you still have onions in the 'butter tea'?" Erina frowned for a while and then said suspiciously.

"Onions? I haven't heard of it...... Wait, so this 'butter tea' is indeed a little different from what I have drunk. Liu Yuyuan took another sip with exploration.

The introduction of onions to China has been more than 100 years, that is, at the beginning of the "era of world cuisine fusion".

In the traditional food of the Tibetan people, there are naturally no onions!

However, Liu Pleiades and Erina tasted it, and a little onion juice was added to this "butter tea"!

It's just that under the strong taste of "butter tea", ordinary people should not be able to taste it.

Liu Pleiades looked at Erina who picked up the tea bowl again, and was also slightly surprised, if it was Erina in the past, she would definitely scoff at some food with peculiar smells!

So Nao Sadazuka, who was good at eating food at the beginning, admired Erina madly, but Scarlet Sand forbade her to get close to Erina. 、

And now she seems to have learned to use the "tongue of the gods" to feel the delicious side of the food, rather than simply magnifying its shortcomings......

Sure enough, in the end, Erina and Alice, although they didn't let Liu Pleiades go to play another bowl, they also drank their bowl until there was only a little oil splash left, which was also the etiquette that Liu Pleiades reminded them of before.

The lower part of the tea barrel is the "ghee" machine, which will separate the ghee from the yak milk through centrifugal stirring, and the upper part will extract the ghee below and mix it with the salty tea inside......

The traditional method of making ghee is definitely a hard work, the herdsmen will put the milk or goat's milk in a special wooden barrel more than one meter high, and then use a wooden stick to pound it hundreds of times, after the milk residue is separated, pour hot water, and then continue to pound until the granular grease precipitates, the ghee particles are collected, kneaded into ghee cakes, ghee blocks for storage.

The quality of ghee and the amount of oil that can be produced have a lot to do with the skill and physical strength of the person making ghee.

But now there is no need to be so troublesome, unless it is a high-end ghee that is advertised as hand-made, ordinary people basically have machinery to do it for them.

At the same time, Liu Pleiades also found a small "juicer" on the side, with chopped onions in it.

It seems that for the sake of people who are not used to drinking oily tea, Deji will add a little onion juice to the "butter tea" to achieve the purpose of relieving oiliness.

As for the "tsamba" that is not regular in image and looks like a biscuit, several people also eat less.

"Huh? It's sweeter than expected, and nuts are added...... And this fragrance is...... Milk powder? Liu Yuyuan said in surprise.

Compared with the traditional tsamba that is usually added to butter tea and eaten well, Uncle Deji's tsamba is closer to a kind of barley flour pastry.

It can be seen that this "Maqin" usually likes to study the improvement of some traditional foods by himself.

Liu Pleiades discussed the recipe with Erina and others for a while, and then Liu Pleiades was also interested in local cooking methods, and after obtaining Deji's consent, he also went into the kitchen and watched.

After about half an hour, Uncle Deji carried a bowl of ...... No, it was a pot of stewed chicken that came out!

"Let's try my craft first!"

Regardless of Liu Pleiaus's appetite, this big pot of stewed chicken is definitely enough for a few people.

Erina and the others looked into the pot and found that the stone pot was still divided into two parts, one part was red and the other part was white......

However, both parts are stewed chicken, and both have large pieces of chicken thighs that look appetizing.

"Uncle Deji, what's the name of this stewed chicken?" Alice asked.

"Name? This one...... The white part is a slightly improved 'Lu Lang Stone Pot Stewed Chicken', but the improvement is not much, so it's still called that! As for the red ones...... I haven't come up with a name yet, and I'm not completely done yet. Deji said.

Hearing Deji say this, the five of them all agreed to serve a bowl of red stewed chicken first, and after Deji laughed when he saw this, he was obviously very satisfied that everyone believed in his craftsmanship, and they all chose to taste the recipe he created first.

He took another wine bag, looked at the ages of several people, hesitated and asked, "Do you drink barley juice?" ”

Is this a common traditional saying...... I could have drunk less! Liu Pleiades said.

Erina and the others didn't force it, after all, the degree of barley wine is usually around forty-five degrees, which is not low.

And when everyone tasted the red stewed chicken thighs, they felt the aroma of wine in it, and their faces couldn't help but look intoxicated......

"It's ...... Chicken stew in French wine? ”

"And you can taste that the chicken soup here is definitely a broth, not something that can be boiled in less than an hour!"

"That's right! What about the biscuits called 'tsamba' just now? This solid red wine broth is served with chunks of chicken thighs and diced vegetables, and this aroma makes you want to take a big bite of tsampa! ”

"That's right, this should be the result of an improvement on the recipe, otherwise the real 'French wine stew' doesn't need other staple foods to play out the deliciousness."

"Onion, garlic, bay leaves...... The toppings are indeed very similar to the chicken stew in French wine, but there seem to be some other flavors......"

"It's ginseng! Different from the 'knife party' we used before, it should be another kind of ginseng! But it's very strange that the taste of this ginseng is very compatible with the taste of 'red wine', it should be ginseng soaked wine? But with the degree of red wine, it is difficult to make ...... Wrong! I see, there are two kinds of wine, one is a mixture of high-strength ginseng that has been soaked for a long time, and low-alcohol red wine! Erina said.

"Huh?" Deji looked at Erina differently.

At this time, Erina picked up Liu Pleiades's wine glass without any scruples, tasted some barley wine a little, and said, "That's right, it's this kind of wine!" However, the brewing process is slightly different, and the high alcohol in the stewed chicken is about two degrees higher than this, but the amount used is not large! ”

"You actually tasted it in one bite? How did you do that? Or...... You two 'have a heart'? Deji couldn't help but wonder.

Liu Pleiades was also in the kitchen before, so Deji even took into account the "heart and soul".

"It's not that difficult." Erina said proudly.

Deji seemed to remember something, and after a frown, he muttered, "Wait, I really want to see you somewhere...... That's right! ”

Tokuji took out his phone as he spoke, and began to search for the keyword "super taste", and almost every article like this mentions Erina's name......

Although they had told Tokuchi his name before, Tokuji searched for pictures of "Erina Nagikiri" again to be on the safe side.

Looking at the blonde girl on the page, for the live-action version in front of him, Deji couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh! It turns out that you are the master of taste who claims to push the limits of human beings! ”

And Erina said: "Actually, you can also feel that this 'French wine stewed chicken' is an improved dish, which is made in alcohol, red wine, barley wine, and ginseng...... It's hard to reconcile the proportions of these aspects to the optimum, right? ”

"That's right, if the proportion of barley wine is increased, the alcohol is too strong, and if the red wine is reduced, it will be less flavorful, and the status quo is maintained...... The unique flavor of ginseng is a little lacking, and adding ginseng to the chicken soup will destroy the wholeness!

The current ratio is the result of my consideration for a long time, but I am still not very satisfied. Deji nodded.

"Why not try grape juice?" Erina chuckled.

Whenever Erina is at this time, a confident look like a queen of taste appears on her face, but Tokuji is not the slightest dissatisfied, but carefully thinks about Erina's opinion.

"Grape juice? But that's ...... with red wine," Deji wondered.

"Not directly with grape juice, of course! Add grape juice to ginseng-soaked barley sake in a ratio of 1:8 and cook it for 80 hours to achieve the best texture and taste! Of course, the shelf life of barley wine after adding grape juice will be greatly shortened, and the longer the better, so it must be barley wine that has been soaked with ginseng. Erina reminded again.

"Do you use barley wine to ferment the grape juice for three and a half days? Sound...... Thank you! I'll try it...... Well, let's wait! There will be a 'cooking showdown' in a while. Deji said helplessly.

Liu Pleiades couldn't help but say: "It's okay, otherwise you ...... uncle"

"No, no, the rules can't be broken! By the way, I haven't talked to you about the rules yet, have I? "Deji is very stubborn in this regard.

On the one hand, I am very grateful for Erina's advice, but on the other hand, I must implement the "rules".

And everyone can feel that Deji's "fighting spirit" is more abundant than before!

Before, it was more like he was going to "play" with Liu Pleiades, but after seeing Erina's strength and knowing their identities, he seemed to face it squarely......

Although it is not Erina who wants to fight him, in his opinion, "the chef of the world's taste masters" (Liu Pleiades: ?) Even if you look young, you should have some strength, right?

And Deji also talked to Liu Pleiades at this time about the rules of the cooking duel!

Normally, according to the rules, if Liu Pleiades wants to take away any ingredients, he must use the ingredients as a topic to have a cooking duel with Deji.

But considering that Liu Pleiades and they are still in a hurry, Deji also appropriately relaxed the rules, only using the most important "yak" as the topic, as long as Liu Pleiades wins, you can pick one yak, Tibetan fragrant chicken, and Tibetan fragrant pig and take one away.

In a while, during the "cooking duel", the elders in the village will be the arbitrator, and the two will use a whole yak as the main ingredient to cook any number of dishes, and after four hours, they will be handed over to the three arbitrators to taste......

The order of tasting is not "first come, first served", but when the time is up, it is up to the arbitrator to decide which side of the dish to taste.

As for the auxiliary materials...... Normally, both parties should prepare their own preparations, but Uncle Deji specially said that the ingredients at home, what Liu Pleiades needs to use, can be brought directly.

There is no limit to the cuisine and cuisine, and the utilization rate of yak is also not limited......

You can roast whole beef, whole beef feast, or just make a piece of steamed beef tongue!

The arbitration committee will prepare all the dishes for both parties and consider them as a whole, and if the cooking skills are high enough, it is not impossible for a beef tongue to suppress the whole cow!

"Oh! By the way, there is the most important thing to pay attention to, that is, on the duel table, there is really only one table, pots, grills, etc., I can prepare them for you, but the pressure cooker, oven or anything is not used, not to mention other equipment, you can only use the original bonfire, charcoal, and stove fire as a heat source! Deji said.

Liu Pleiades was a little surprised when he heard this, because there are a lot of modern cooking equipment in Deji's kitchen, and when he didn't expect to compete, he could only use "fire" to cook retro......

"How? You're okay, right? Deji asked.

After all, many young chefs, especially academic chefs, are accustomed to heat sources such as constant temperature stoves and ovens, as well as various equipment assistance, and it should be very unfavorable for them to directly "raise the fire" to cook.

"I'm from an authentic Chinese cuisine, and Chinese cuisine is also a 'fire' cuisine, so no matter how you look at it, this rule is in my favor, right?" Liu Yuexing said confidently.

Not to mention the bonfire and charcoal fire, even if it does not provide a heat source, Liu Pleiades can demonstrate what it means: a real chef can use himself as a heat source......

"Oh? In front of me, as a Tibetan Maqin, do you dare to say that you are proficient in fire cooking? If it's a big deal, I'll see you on stage in a moment! Eat the food while it's hot......" (To be continued.) )
