Chapter 306: Teamwork
"You ...... Why don't you speak? Liu Yuexing involuntarily shrunk his neck. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
It's strange, when I'm outside, I don't feel cold, why do I feel a cool breeze when I get inside?
The four girls looked at him motionlessly, not knowing what kind of expression to make on their faces!
Well, looking at a small snake underwater, it all seems to be a close-up under a searchlight? Other words......
Especially Erina, starting from her neck at this time, the flush crawled all over her face, and she looked at Liu Pleiades in shame and couldn't speak.
Even Alice, who is usually most afraid of chaos in the world, didn't speak for a long time at this time, after all, when Liu Pleiades passed by, she also stood up from the hot spring because she was afraid......
"Do you feel a little cold?" Scarlet said with a cold face.
"Yes, yes......" Liu Pleiades was taken aback by Scarlet Shazi's rare cold expression.
I saw that Scarlet Shazi continued to stand up with a cold face, and then took out a sleeping bag from his luggage......
"It's not cold to sleep in a sleeping bag!" Scarlet said.
"Huh? That's not necessary, not yet...... Well, I think sleeping bags are good too! β
The other three girls were all dazzled.
It's true that it's hard to get a good night's rest, and it's unpleasant to use a sleeping bag, but if you don't use a sleeping bag, it's a little awkward to share a bed with someone...... Especially after the previous "events"!
After listening to Scarlet Sand's words, everyone suddenly had another idea, that is, to put "someone" in a sleeping bag by himself!
That night, except for Liu Yuexing, everyone rested well......
In fact, even if he slept in a sleeping bag for one night, Liu Pleiades would not have a bad rest, but the problem was that Erina was still very dishonest at night, and Liu Pleiades in the sleeping bag was ...... Or the "filler" is Liu Pleiaus's sleeping bag tube, which is used as a pillow!
This is not the first time Liu Pleiades has seen Erina's sleeping appearance, the first time was before the school festival, but at that time, Erina was in an extremely nervous state, pulling herself and Scarlet Sand, and there was no movement after falling asleep......
But after that time, one day when Liu Pleiades was with Scarlet Sand and Erina, Scarlet Scarlet said that she leaked her mouth, saying that that night was Erina's rare sleep and honesty......
The second time Liu Pleiades saw Erina sleeping, it was the night before yesterday, but Erina was in a sleeping bag, so naturally she didn't want to be honest and had no conditions, and Liu Pleiades had a hangover in Shuzheng Village last night and didn't pay much attention.
What Liu Pleiades didn't expect was that Liu Pleiades on the other side was actually coiled outside the sleeping bag like an octopus!
It seems that it is because she is too tired during the day, plus she has been frightened again, and from the perspective of time, it is now a late night for her, so the sleeping appearance is also very touching......
Before dawn at five o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock of the mobile phone set by Scarlet Shazi vibrate, but because the location of the mobile phone was under her own pillow, except for herself and Liu Yuexing, who was sleeping very lightly, no one else woke up.
Although the bathroom in the room is very large, it is impossible for five people to wash at the same time, and it seems that Scarlet Sand wants to get up and wash herself early before waking up the others, at least so that Miss Erina can sleep more.
Seeing the posture of Erina and Liu Pleiades, as well as Liu Pleiades who showed his head in the sleeping bag, he was staring at him with round eyes, as if he was very nervous......
However, it was obviously impossible to sympathize with Liu Pleiades with Scarlet Shazi, but instead glared at him fiercely, and made an expression that was both fierce and a little jealous, as if to remind him to "don't move", "don't wake up" Miss Erina and the like.
When Scarlet Sand came out of the bathroom, Liu Yuyuan, who had an accurate biological clock, also woke up, and at the same time found that his "pillow" was startled, and when he released it in a panic, he also woke up Alice on the side......
Seeing that the time was almost up, the two of them also got up to wash, leaving only Erina on the bed and a sleeping bag pillow filled with Liu Pleiades.
Just like that, doesn't seem like a bad idea?
But Liu Pleiades didn't think so, because Scarlet Shazi was standing next to the bed, staring at him motionlessly......
Liu Pleiades suspected that if there was any indescribable bulge on the sleeping bag at this time, it was estimated that Scarlet Sand would throw him directly into the hot spring with the sleeping bag!
The reason why Scarlet Sand is just staring at him now is because she wants Erina to sleep a little longer.
After Alice and Liu Yuyuan washed up, Alice directly smirked and walked over to pat Erina's tun...... Completely ignore the eyes of the crimson sand on the side who wants to kill.
Sure enough, when Erina woke up, she screamed, "Ah! What are you doing! β
After that, he suddenly filled Liu Pleias's sleeping bag pillow and pushed it on the big bed several times......
"No matter how you look at it, it's not me! My hands are in my sleeping bag! Liu Yuexing said depressedly.
Erina also reacted at this time, and immediately turned her head and glared at Alice, obviously not the first time she was attacked by her cousin!
It's just that as soon as I woke up, I saw what I was holding, so I didn't react......
"Really, can't you be a little manly? Ah Xing, no one will like you like this! Alice went over again and patted Liu Pleiades on the shoulder who came out of the sleeping bag and said.
However, although the shooting was "popping", Liu Pleiades still didn't think her words were convincing!
"I don't think it's pointless to carry this kind of black cauldron......"
After that, Erina and Liu Pleiades washed together, and when they brushed their teeth, Erina always felt that Liu Pleiades on the side had been looking at her side in the mirror, and couldn't help blushing and bowing her head to rinse her mouth and asking, "What are you looking at!" "It's a bit of a bad look.
"Huh? Yes...... It's nothing, when I brush my teeth for the first time, I can still see others next to me, which is a little unaccustomed, hahaha......" Liu Pleiades said with a smirk.
It wasn't until he saw the scarlet sand, peeking through the crack in the door outside, that Liu Pleiades relented a little more......
After checking out, a group of five people made the earliest bus, came to Jiuzhaigou Town, after a little inquiry, they came to a Chinese restaurant that had been agreed before, which had been booked by the Liu family in advance.
There are still many people in Jiuzhaigou Town who are speculating about who came to charter a one-star Chinese restaurant in the town for a whole day?
"Master Yang, thank you so much this time! We only booked three days in advance, and we were able to book the restaurant for a day......," Liu Kuishan said to an old man dressed as a chef.
"I'm also very happy to be able to be a witness to the 'God-front Cooking Showdown.'" The old man surnamed Yang said with a smile.
This chef's cooking skills were also somewhat famous in the Bashu area ten years ago, and his restaurant had reached the two-star level back then.
But since ten years ago, he sold his two-star restaurant, returned to his hometown Jiuzhaigou Town, and opened a little-known small restaurant.
Now this has regained the qualification of "one star", or because his disciple has finally reached the "tiger level" and Zhang Luo.
When the Liu family approached him three days ago and proposed to charter a day, he was hesitant at first.
But later, after the Liu family explained the reason, Yang Lao readily agreed!
After all, in the "Kamimae Cooking Showdown", not only can you see the cooking skills of the top new generation chefs, but also the lineup of judges alone makes him not want to refuse!
The two dragon chefs of the Two Dragon Chef Alliance gathered, which is not an honor that a one-star restaurant can achieve in normal times.
At this moment, Liu Pleiades, Erina, Alice, and Liu Pleiades had also changed into chef clothes, and the kitchen utensils and equipment they had selected before had also been arranged on the cooking table in the middle of the hall on the first floor......
Originally, although this "alley restaurant" was not large, it was also a double-storey layout, but there were only private rooms and kitchens on the upper floor, and the center of the first floor only had a shed roof, which seemed tall and spacious.
And now Liu Pleiades and others are in the middle of the hall on the first floor, and the judges' bench is on the second floor, behind the corridor fence where you can see the first floor, facing Liu Pleiades and others, and on the chairman's seat next to it, there are also the eight elders of the Liu family, the family of Nagi Senzaemon, and Yang Lao as the host......
Others, including several other masters of the "Alley Restaurant", that is, the disciples of Yang Lao, as well as the "onlookers" of the major families, sat on both sides of the second floor......
Liu Yuyuan...... I saw this child once a few years ago, when it seemed that she had come to Jiuzhaigou with his parents to play, but she probably didn't know me...... Erina Nagikiri, Alice Nagi, the twin sisters of the food demon king...... 'Tongue of God' and 'Genius Girl of Molecular Cuisine', so the only male chef is Liu Pleiades, right? Master Yang looked curiously at the combination downstairs.
"That's right!" Liu Kuishan nodded.
"It turns out that among the generations of the word 'Pleiades', in addition to Liu Yuyuan, there are such talents, and the Liu family is really good at hiding! Hahaha......"
"Yes, yes...... Hahaha......" Liu Kuishan was playing haha on the side.
And Nagi Sect Wei next to him had already spoken: "Hehe, then it's thanks to the merits of our Far Moon Academy, right?" And when did Liu Pleiades become a person of the 'Pleiades' generation? He just happens to be surnamed Liu, right? β
"Huh?" Master Yang turned his head suspiciously and looked at Liu Kuishan and Nagi Zong Wei.
"Ahem, this ...... Ah Xing, this kid is indeed in both of us, and we have ......both studied art," Liu Kuishan said embarrassedly.
It can also be seen that the ancestor of the Liu family, "Liu Pleiades", suddenly became mysterious after the post-China period......
Even a cook of Yang Lao's age only knew that the Liu family had a very powerful ancestor, but he didn't know what the specific name of this ancestor was.
"Sure enough, yak meat, Tibetan chicken, and Tibetan pig have all been found......"
"Huh? Tomato? Onions? And also...... These are not the ingredients that Jiuzhaigou has, right? It seems that the 'challenge to Machin' was really carried out? β
"Indeed, only 'Challenge Maqin' can get such a complete set of ingredients, and it should still be a very powerful Maqin, who will have such a complete set of ingredients and spices......"
"Wait! Actually found a hot spring snake? β
I saw that the other eight elders of the Liu family, looking at the list of ingredients, exaggerated and surprised on the side, and bluntly interrupted the previous topic......
Zong Wei glanced at a few old people, and then muttered something like "old fox".
At this time, the four people below also began to move, and as for the five judges, they were looking at the video records handed in by Scarlet Sand......
"Huh? It turned out to be Deji Maqin of Shuzheng Village? In fact, when there are only the spices and ingredients of the other party, did you succeed in challenging Deji? When Lei Yu saw the video of the second day, he recognized Liu Yuexing's opponent.
"Deji ...... No wonder there are so many kinds of ingredients and spices to be obtained......"
"Wait, why do I always feel like there's a lot missing from this record?"
"Forget it, people are young together, you don't have to care about those details!" Master Xie looked like "I understand very well".
Hearing this, the new Hu Shou frowned even more and said, "No, I care more about what you say!" β
"But did you find it, obviously the four of them are demanding themselves according to the standards of the top 'chefs', and the cooking styles are very different, but although the cooperation now cannot be said to be seamless, it is also very 'harmonious'!" Lin Yi said.
Indeed, although the four of them are each cooking their own food, and no one is doing it specifically for whom, they are not all cooking separately, such as the whole yak meat, Tibetan pork, and whole Tibetan chicken, all of which are being processed by Liu Pleiades......
Other processes that require complex equipment for new cooking are all handed over to Alice, and even between Erina and Liu Yuyuan, there are occasional actions to explain the cuisine to each other, and there is no hesitation, and there is no disagreement at all!
"It seems that the young people are more receptive than we old guys think!" Master Xie sighed.
"Indeed, the previous confrontation between the two may also be an example made by the 'adults', which is too bad." Lin Yi said.
The eight elders of the Liu family and the father and son of Nagi Senzaemon on the side all pretended not to hear it......
And the new household code muttered: "How do I think there may be a deeper reason......"
Others may not say it so directly, but Lin Yi obviously has no scruples, and even the two families themselves can only pretend not to hear.
After all, Lin Yi is one of the two dragon chefs of the Dragon Chef Alliance in the culinary world, and more importantly, Lin Yi represents the heir of Lan Feihong, and the Liu family does not think that his words are arrogant.
At this moment, Master Xie took the tablet computer that played the video recording of the scarlet sand, and looked at several places repeatedly after a while......
"Huh? It seems that in these three days, during the day on the first day, they were only barely able to be on the same team, and after missing the video from the beginning of the evening, after the second day had already set off during the day, the relationship was much better...... Until this morning, it seems that the relationship is getting closer every day......" Master Xie said.
"Sure enough, it's my tent!" Liu Lousan, who was in the judges' seat, said.
Several judges, as well as the Liu family and the people from the Nagi family on the rostrum, couldn't help but look at it in surprise, and the scarlet sand, who knew what was going on, glared over!
Dark Dao: Sure enough, it's him!
"Ahem, I mean...... Sure enough, it's the credit of 'Solitaire', I'm worried that they will be bored, I brought Solitaire to Ah Xing, hahaha......" Liu Lousan said dryly.
Obviously, he also knew that if other people knew about the tent, it was estimated that there would be a danger of fighting today!
At the same time, he also secretly scolded the eight elders of the Liu family, these old foxes...... Why are you pretending to be so similar? Look at those confused eyes, as if you really don't know!
And Scarlet Shazi obviously didn't want to "expose" this matter, so he didn't speak......
Team cooking starts at 9 a.m. and lasts six hours from 3 p.m.
Just like in the "Challenge Machin", there is no limit to the number of dishes, and you can make as many dishes as you can!
There is no requirement for the dishes, but since all the dishes are delivered on time at 3 p.m., the meal form must not be a Western-style course presented one by one, but a banquet type......
Obviously, the four of them also understood this truth, and the first dishes were all soups and cold dishes that needed to be simmered for a long time, and as for the "hot dishes" with a short best tasting period, they were only processed in advance.
Six hours later, just before the end of the day, the four of them put the dishes they were cooking on their plates, and other dishes that had been saved in various ways were also served......
At this time, the judges went down to the first floor to taste the food, and out of respect for the host who provided the venue, Master Yang was also specially invited to taste with the judges.
Being able to taste the food with the two dragon chefs, although he is not qualified as a judge, Yang Lao still feels very face-saving, and he is also very interested in the cooking skills of these young people!
When watching their cooking process before, Yang Lao did find a lot of excellence, although he still didn't think that these young people could compare to his apprentices who were "standing" and "not confused", but they were already a little curious.
The whole set of eight dishes and two soups for the banquet, the ingredients are obtained from Jiuzhaigou, obviously there are more "meat dishes", and there is only one "vegetarian roasted Ruyi", a "ketchup bracken" and a "bacillus soup......
Well, in fact, the ingredients of the first two dishes are still the same, and "Ruyi" is also another name for bracken, not "bean sprouts".
As for the other soup, it looks like a faint black tea, so clear that all the oil slicks and sediments have been filtered out, and the ingredients used to cook the soup are no longer in it.
In addition, there are also "Dongyan Naked Carp", "Sauce Meat Platter", "Dongpo Meat", "Gastrodia Stewed Chicken", "Honey Roasted Chicken Thigh" and a drawer of "Xiaolongbao"!
Yang Lao looked at the shiny roasted diced chicken thighs, and couldn't help but move his index finger, so he took a piece and tasted it first......
The moment the crispy and sweet skin of the chicken thighs exploded under the gentle bite of the teeth, releasing the juicy chicken thigh meat inside, I couldn't help but widen my eyes!
"Hmm...... The chicken thighs are crispy and the honey is sweet on top! Whether it's the preparation of the sauce, the use of honey or the control of the heat, everything is impeccable! β
"Ghee, when you bake chicken thighs in the oven, you should use ghee...... The crispy chicken thighs are also filled with a little milky aroma. β
"Huh? This Dongpo meat ...... It's still wine-scented, and is it barley wine? In order to match the barley wine, the aroma of the overall spice has been changed! β
"Considering that spices are also used in a limited range, it is possible to have such a degree of completion in the use of spices in such a short period of time, is this the effect of 'super taste'?"
"This steamed naked carp also has a peculiar taste, combining spicy and fermented acidity, it seems to have a bit of a 'tom yum soup' flavor, but at the same time, honey is added to it...... Is this a combination of sour, spicy and sweet? β
"Sure enough, it's beef consommΓ©! From the very beginning, the first dish to be cooked in a pot was simmered for nearly six hours...... And it's constantly adjusting the spices and skimming out the impurities......"
"That's right, in the process of cooking, it is quite a French consommΓ© style...... Beef cubes should be used as the ingredients, and after the first stage of boiling, other necessary spices are added, and the final seasoning is carried out after the oil slick is skimmed out and impurities are filtered. β
"Bacillus soup...... Semi-wild mushrooms, morels, porcini mushrooms, green gang mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms...... There is also matsutake mushroom, which has the strongest fragrance among mushrooms! I'm glad you were able to find ......."
Well, the discovery of matsutake mushrooms is really thanks to someone's nose!
Because of previous contact, when Liu Pleiades was in the primeval forest, he found these matsutake mushrooms with a flat sense of smell!
As the "king of fungi" that cannot be artificially cultivated and only survives in high-altitude mountains, it is naturally the primary goal of Liu Pleiades and others from the beginning.
"Wait, this xiaolongbao...... One bite and the soup will really spill! β
"That's right, and it's similar to the flavor of chicken milk, but it's much richer......"
"It's snake meat! The hot spring snake is made into this xiaolongbao! β
"Huhu...... This luscious taste is really intoxicating, obviously it is xiao long bao, but the juice is comparable to raw frying! β
"Wait, let's talk about raw frying...... This dough is...... In the list of raw materials, there is obviously no flour, and this clearly has a kind of fragrance of barley noodles, but ......"
That's right, in addition to the difference between xiao long bao and raw pan-fried, one is steamed with water vapor and the other is fried raw in oil, there is also a difference in the skin, the dough of xiao long bao is usually semi-fermented, while raw pan-fried is fully fermented, but ......
The problem is that there is no flour on the previous ingredient acquisition list!
Is it barley noodles? You must know that the biggest difference between barley flour and wheat flour is that there is no gluten...... After adding water, it will be like a thin mud and will not form a dough, which is not something that can be solved by controlling the amount of water!
"It's indeed barley noodles, it should be mixed with some 'yellow grass seeds', right? Since the previous challenge was Deji Maqin, it is not surprising to get yellow grass seeds! Lei Yu said.
Yellow grass seeds can not be used as food normally, only in the famine years people will eat when they are hungry, because the viscosity is very great, the slightest carelessness will be lumpy in the stomach, and "Guanyin soil" is the same, although eating to relieve hunger, but not only is not nutritious, but it is easy to cause intestinal obstruction......
However, in the barley noodles without gluten, as long as a little yellow grass seeds are added, they immediately become clumpy like real flour, and the yellow grass seeds themselves are non-toxic, and there is no need to worry about stickiness when scattered in the barley noodles.
Yes, Liu Pleiades used barley noodles to reproduce a dish made by Master Xie for Rennes during the "China Banban" period, which is also the first time that the two people who often seem to look at each other on the surface do not look at each other!
Although I don't know if Master Xie knows the allusion to this "snake meat xiaolongbao", he definitely knows this pastry, and at this time, a look of remembrance flashed in his eyes...... (To be continued.) )
