Chapter 296: Leoura: I'll try...... (Short)

"What's that? It's so small! ā€

"Indeed, this is probably one of the reasons why all three dishes are presented at the same time! The weight of this dish can't be presented alone, right? ā€

In the audience, Alice and Scarlet Shazi muttered, Liu Pleiades didn't know that he was despised in terms of "size......

And Nagi Sowei said to his daughter at this time: "That should be ...... In Chinese, it's 'fish cloud', right? ā€

"Fish clouds?" Although Alice is the elite of Yuanyue, she is still very unfamiliar with this very "strange" part of other cuisines. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"In Chinese cuisine, fish heads are also used as 'fish clouds...... But there are also special references, that is, there are two small pieces of fish meat on the head of the fish near the gills, and these five parts are all from the already small 'fish cloud', so it is no wonder that this is the amount. Nagi said Sowei.

"There's still a part like this in the fish's head...... Is it tasty? Alice wondered.

"Well, the taste is very smooth, and if it is cooked properly, there are many gourmets from the Dragon Chef Alliance who prefer this thing." Nagi said Sowei.

It's no wonder that Alice hasn't heard of the fact that in Western cuisine, the "head" ingredient is generally regarded as taboo, and the fish head is not put on the table at all......

Even in island countries that are heavily influenced by Chinese cuisine, when the fish head is served, it is mostly used as a decoration, and it is not really eaten, at most it is used to make soup like Ryo Hayama did in the "Autumn Selection Preliminaries", and when you taste it, you only know that the collagen in it comes from the fish head, and you will not eat the whole fish head......

However, in Chinese cuisine, it is needless to say, dry pot fish head, chopped pepper fish head, braised fish head...... They are all well-loved dishes, and "Fish Cloud" is the essence of the fish head.

Although the five judges have the strengths of each family, they are all from Chinese cuisine, so naturally they all recognize this thing.

"Huh? And the vegetables underneath? This is choy sum...... No, it's Shanghai Qing, right? After Tang Song clamped the long cucumber slices with the outer ring, he found that there was something to hold inside, not just a cucumber around.

Shanghai green, in Guangzhou should be called Qingjiang cabbage, Yangquan Restaurant's fried Qingjiang cabbage, is used in this kind of vegetable, but also a kind of cabbage, rape, the name is different in various places, and Tang Song, who was born in Shanghai Longzhen Restaurant, is naturally more accustomed to calling it "Shanghai green".

"That's right, there's plenty of soup in it!" Lei Yu also noticed that the reason why it was surrounded and supported was because there was a viscous soup inside.

Seeing this, the judges no longer hesitated, and directly put the fish cloud, cucumber slices, green cabbage and the sticky soup inside into their mouths and chewed it!

Smooth fish clouds, crispy vegetables, and still hot soup...... Multiple palates spread.

However, whether it is the elegance of green cabbage and cucumbers, or the thick corn thick soup, they can't cover the fish cloud as the protagonist!

The judges immediately felt it, and a huge sea bream jumped out of its mouth!

The crimson posture is like a flame......

When Liu Pleiades first thawed, he observed the situation of the "fish cloud".

After all, it can be stored in the freezer of the "Yangquan Hotel", although this "sea bream" is no longer in the best tasting period according to the "harsh" standard, but in fact it is still relatively fresh!

Although the meat quality is not in the "best tasting period", Yuyun has not been affected too much, and it is still white and tender, so Liu Pleiades decided on this last dish from the beginning.

At the same time, just as "Nagi Cut Zongwei" said, Liu Pleiades knew from the beginning that the last dish must not be served alone......

Although the tradition of the "Kamizen Cuisine Showdown" every year is to use the same large sea bream used in the duel between "Liu Pleiades" and Rennes more than 100 years ago, the fish cloud taken out is not very big, and after each fish cloud is divided into three small pieces, it is already only one bite...... It's even a little smaller!

Among the four dishes, Liu Pleiades' first "mapo sea bream tofu" was thought of when he thawed the sea bream and checked its meat quality, and the two dishes in the middle, "Pearls and Jade Mantang" and "Grilled Fish with Golden Chips", were made to a certain extent inspired by Erina.

After all, in the face of this sea bream that cannot be cooked by conventional means, Erina came prepared, but Liu Pleiades had to rely on the scene to play......

When Erina saw "Yuyun", she was also slightly stunned, she obviously didn't expect that there would be such a ......

Although as one of the top ten masters of the Far Moon, when facing the world's cuisine, Erina's vision is very broad, but after all, she grew up in an island country, and in the daily teaching of the Far Moon Academy, in addition to the island cuisine, more attention is paid to Western cuisine led by French cuisine, so Erina didn't think for a while that she could directly bypass the fish meat and use the "fish cloud" in the "fish head"!

And Liu Pleiades is not all based on the "bias" of the selected ingredients as an advantage, just look at the intoxicated appearance of the five judges now......

In order to make up for the small "fish cloud", after being divided into small pieces, there may be a deficiency in the taste, Liu Pleiades specially chose the cooking method of "stew"!

And the "Uoyun" is not an ordinary soup, but a thick corn juice with saffron and other spices!

"The smoothness of the 'fish cloud' and the crispness of the greens form a wonderful match, and although it does not take advantage of the temperature difference, the effect is not inferior to the previous 'sea bream dumplings'!"

"That's right, cucumber slices and Shanghai greens, although they only use five slices and five leaves each, but they are all processed separately! The cucumbers are lightly pickled with coarse salt, while the Shanghai greens are blanched in water with pungent spices such as peppercorns......"

"Later, the two were combined to create a basket-shaped structure, and then the 'fish cloud' was put in and poured into the 'corn juice'......"

"I see! The mellow aroma of corn is used to highlight the unique smooth taste of 'Yuyun', and at the same time, seasoned corn juice is injected to improve the problem of insufficient taste after Yuyun is divided! ā€

"This kind of cooking that doesn't stick to the original way of thinking...... It is worthy of being selected by the Liu family as a chef with a foreign surname! ā€

Well, although Liu Pleiades is also surnamed Liu, this is just a "coincidence", and theoretically every time the representative who participates in the "Divine Front Cooking Showdown" should be the "heirs" of the two families, but as a separate family, the Nagi family claims to regard all the graduates of Yuanyue as heirs, and it is true that there are few people, so in recent decades, none of them have come to this family.

In contrast, the Liu family, the main family, sends out every year, and they must be the strongest young chefs of their own generation......

This year, if it weren't for the appearance of Liu Pleiades and the reinterpretation of the prophecy, they would only send Liu Pleiades.

"The judges are starting to write the results! Erina is now ...... 16.70 points, I don't know what will happen to the last three dishes of Ah Xing! ā€

"The score for 'Grilled Fish Fillet with Gold Chips' is out! The average is followed by ...... 4.08 points! ā€

"'Full of Jewels' averaged 4.06 points...... Oops, it's not too high! ā€

"And the last 'Golden Jade White Jade Bead'...... 4.44 points! It was more than Erina's French fish soup! The real top score of this session has appeared! ā€

"Wait...... Although it received the highest score in the game, if you add the 4.10 points of the first dish of 'Mapo sea bream tofu', that is, 16.68 points? It's still slightly 0.02 points lower. ā€

The audience was very nervous......

And Liu Pleiades and Erina, after seeing the score, their expressions were very consistent, almost at the same time first nervous, and then silently relieved, but Erina immediately covered up her expressions, hugged her arms to her chest, and snorted coldly at Liu Pleiades: "Hmph, in Chinese, should the middle two dishes be said to be 'picking up people's teeth'?" ā€

Erina can naturally see that Liu Pleiades's "Grilled Fish Fillet with Golden Chips" and "Full of Jewels" refer to her own recipe in some details......

At the beginning, Liu Pleiades should have only had a general idea, and then while doing it slowly, he observed some of Erina's processing methods and continued to improve.

For the reason of "looking at the text and knowing the righteousness", Liu Pleiades stared at Erina's teeth, and the latter immediately closed his mouth tightly, and at the same time glared at Liu Pleiades in shame.

Suddenly, Liu Pleiades seemed to think of something again, and looked at Erina's eyes, faintly exuding a "different" brilliance.

"That...... Erina, have you comprehended the 'essence of spices'? ā€

Liu Pleiades's endless questioning made Erina stunned, but she still replied: "It's already started...... What's wrong? ā€

"No, it's okay, it's okay for the time being......" Liu Pleiaus's appearance made Erina even more unhappy, and he always felt as if he was hiding something.

But at this moment, Master Xie interrupted: "Okay! The results of the first round are out, so let's go and rest first! The content of the second round, after we have discussed it, will be announced tomorrow morning. ā€

Both sides were quite satisfied with the results of the first round, at least able to "reluctantly" accept them......

After all, although Erina doesn't admit it verbally, in fact, the thoughts in her heart are similar to that of Liu Pleiades.

That is, they all regard the other party as a strong opponent, and even if they really set the topic in advance in the form of a halberd, Liu Pleiades' chances of winning are slightly higher.

And now Erina is prepared, although she is only barely ahead by 0.02 points, but after all, if you talk about this game alone, it can still be regarded as a win!

And Liu Pleiades was still only slightly behind by 0.02 points in the case of being "suddenly attacked", because the rule of "Divine Cooking Duel" is the comparison of the total scores of the three duels, not the best of three games, so the gap in the first round is only 0.02 points, and the impact is not big.

The visitors from the two families of Nagi and Shinhu will also stay at the Yangquan Hotel today, and the itinerary will be decided after the content of the second round of the duel is confirmed.

Liu Lousan led them to several specially prepared rooms, and at this time, Shinto Shou went to discuss the content of the second round of the duel with the other judges, while Nagi Senzaemon and Nagi Sowei went to write out the candidates for the third round of the duel with the clan elders of the Liu family in advance!

Because the items in the third round of duels are drawn from the Liu family ancestral hall, and the 100 questions for the draw are 50 questions from the main family and the branch family......

After Liu Lousan left, Erina questioned Liu Pleiades who was following behind, "What are you doing with us?" ā€

"Huh? Didn't you say you came to your room tonight? Liu Yuexing replied as a matter of course.

When the duel was in the hall of Yangquan Restaurant before, and there was no broadcast screen or anything like that, Alice and the others hadn't heard Erina's words, and they didn't know Erina's tone and look when she said this.

At this time, hearing Liu Pleiades talk about it, Alice and Scarlet Shazi suddenly looked at Erina in surprise......

Leonora also looked at Erina with a relieved expression and sighed, "Little Erina has finally grown up!" ā€

When Erina saw Liu Pleiades speak, she knew that it was not good, and her red ears were red on the horse, and she said anxiously: "Are you an idiot?" I—I'm talking about...... Not for you to ...... now Nor is it ...... Anyway, I want you to come to my room...... You, you ......"

Liu Pleiades showed a surprised expression: "What's wrong?" Didn't you say you wanted to treat me to the food from the previous duel? I still have leftovers over my sea bream tofu, grilled fish fillet with gold chips, and 'Jewel Full Hall', and I'll go to the warehouse to get some later......

What do you think? Alice and the little secretary are here too! By the way, you can also call Shangyuanyuan, and after the third round of duels is over, you can let her be a guide, and we will go to Jiuzhaigou to play for a few days...... What are you all looking at me for? ā€

Liu Pleiades always felt that other people's eyes were strange.

Leonora then said, "Giggles, Alice, then let's have fun with Erina tonight...... By the way, Erina is in the room next to me, right? ā€

"Humph! If you dare to come in, come in! I was just going to ask you, you and Liu ...... What's going on with the Liu family! Erina said.

The four of them entered Erina's room, and after seeing the layout and decoration of the room, they had to sigh that the Yangquan Hotel was indeed not in vain, and the room was not worse than the Far Moon Hotel.

And at this moment, I saw Liu Yuyuan pushing out the dining car and coming over...... However, it is full of raw ingredients, and most of it is sea bream! Liu Pleiades actually called her here!

"Ah Xing, the things you want are here, or I'll ...... them first" Liu Yuyuan felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and he wanted to leave first.

"Wait! Did you hear anything? Alice said suddenly.

"It seems to be...... From next door? ā€

"It's Lady Leonora's voice!" Liu Pleiades said immediately.

Several people immediately rushed out again......

The voice sounded faint, like a scream after isolation!

"Mom!" Alice slammed open the door to Leonora's room, only to find Leonora standing in the room, facing the wall that separated her from Erina's room, as if she was singing.

"Huh? Mother? What are you doing? Alice wondered.

Leonora looked at them and giggled again: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just experimenting with the soundproofing of the hotel, and it's so loud, you just heard it......"

"......" Liu Pleiades wanted to know who she should try it for! (To be continued.) )
