Chapter 249: The Problem - Non-Local Ingredients

Su Miao glanced at the aftertaste, frowned, a small face tensed, and looked at Changsheng Dao:

"Do you still have a bit of professionalism to say such things at such a time?"

"Ah, doesn't Miss Su think what I said is wrong?" Changsheng asked with a smile.

"In this world, there are only three things that can bring hearts and souls closer to each other beyond language and cultural barriers: food, music and smiles. Among them, the power of food can eliminate all contradictions, prejudices and gloom, bring people the power of stability, and infect the hearts of those who warm the tasters. ”

Her rare sharpness surprised everyone present, and they all looked at her with surprised eyes, and even the aftertaste was stunned, looking at her serious little face in surprise.

Changsheng's smiling face froze, and anyone who was unceremoniously criticized in front of the public would not look good, although the corners of his lips still had a shallow arc, but his eyes sank:

"Miss Su's words are so imposing, even I was almost shocked by you. I'm curious, haven't you ever encountered unfair treatment, and if you have, you should know very well why you should block others when they are fighting for their legitimate interests? If you haven't encountered it, then I can only say that either you are too tender, or your luck is too good and someone has covered you. He said, glancing meaningfully at his evocative face.

Aftertaste frowned, Su Miao knew best whether he was covered by himself. He was very annoyed by such groundless accusations, and he was also very annoyed by Changsheng's deliberate manipulation of public opinion, so he wanted to speak.

Su Miao snorted. Looking at Changsheng frankly, he replied awe-inspiringly:

"Changsheng, don't underestimate me too much, I never use others to cover me, I can be responsible for what I do, and my work has nothing to do with other people. It's not fair? This is not a business that requires the use of 'fairness', and it is ridiculous to say 'unfair'. I never insist that people who eat what I cook must be satisfied with what I make. But I will work hard for this 'satisfaction', and in the end I will definitely make food that makes the most discerning people feel the most satisfied." If you think that the two people in the audience will 'open the back door' for me because of the slightest connection, that's ridiculous. The two of them were just two of the fifteen judges. And you, as my opponent, in this game, I will make you admit defeat after eating. She looked at him and said in a firm tone.

This is a bold statement. Heroic momentum. Changsheng, who originally wanted to muddy the waters, smiled after hearing these words, and he asked lightly:

"Miss Su, is it okay to say such a firm word? In case you lose......"

"I'm not afraid to lose." Su Miao replied with a smile, she smiled very calmly, "What if you win, what if you lose, no matter if you win or lose, I like to make something for people to eat and then see the other party's smile at me will never change!" ”

The aftertaste is shocking. There was a violent earthquake, and the tremor that came from the depths of his soul made him stunned. An indescribable taste welled up in his heart.

"What's more, although I don't know how many capable peers Yue Liangguo has, since you and I meet in this competition, if you can't convince you, what's the point even if you win?" Su Miao added with a smile.

"Win and lose?" Changsheng raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"I like to be open." Su Miao said seriously.

Changsheng looked at her for a while, and suddenly laughed, not the usual hippie smile, but from the depths of his heart, with a deep, deep, pleasant and interesting smile, he said:

"Okay, I'm waiting for you to convince me!"

"My little siblings are cute sometimes." Hui Gan supported his cheek with one hand, leaned lazily on the chair, looked at the majestic Su Miao on the stage with a smile, and said.

"It's a bit of a general, although it's a civilian...... I can barely see it. Liang Min rarely spoke, and said in a deep voice.

Hui Gan looked at him for a while, rubbed his smooth chin, suddenly leaned over, stared at him with judgmental eyes, and asked with a smile:

"Are you in a good mood today?"

Liang Min glanced at him, frowned, and moved his face away a little.

"Lin Yan had a big quarrel with you early in the morning, how can you still be so happy?" Hui Gan didn't understand very much, and looked at him sympathetically with eyes that thought he had something wrong with his brain.

This time, Liang Min's face turned completely black, and he glanced at him coldly:

"You're going to get out of the house tonight!"

"Why?"

"That's my house."

"Your home is my home, I have called you 'Xiaoda' for so many years, do you think it was called for nothing?" Hui Gan's face was rightfully authentic.

Liang Min frowned, holding back for many years, and at this moment, he finally couldn't help asking:

"I've been wanting to ask you for so many years, what does 'little big' mean?"

"Boss."

"What?"

"It's the boss, big brother." Hui Gan replied without feeling that there was anything wrong.

“…… Get the hell out of here! Liang Min said heavily.

"You haven't said why you're so happy today?"

"Get out!" Hui Gan naturally didn't understand, Liang Min had just discovered today, and it was easier for him to understand what she was thinking than watching her be silent, secretly crying, and forcing her to laugh, when she was arguing with him like crazy.

At the moment, getting her to argue may be the best way to get her anger and her heart out.

"Miaomiao is still as imposing as ever!" On the VIP seat, Lin Yan put her hands on her cheeks, looked at Su Miao on the stage in a daze, and sighed softly.

"The second sister has always been very imposing." Su Chan ate Jiang rice noodles and said vaguely.

"That's great, I want to be as imposing as Miaomiao!" Lin Yan unconsciously squeezed her face into a chubby bun shape and muttered.

Su Chan took half of the Jiang rice strip in her mouth, glanced at her, thought about it, and said:

"No, I think you're starting to get momentum." If this morning's events are true.

On the stage. Changsheng said lightly to the ceremonial officer who was standing aside watching him and Su Miao arguing with a full expression:

"Master Jiang, let's start the game."

The ceremonial officer didn't expect him to compromise so quickly, and he was stunned for a moment. Then he turned around and shouted loudly:

"It's time to start!"

A fellow struck a brass hammer tied with a red cloth on the big gong hanging next to the stage.

With the sound of "bang", the first game of the four into two officially began!

The rules for the first match had not been announced before, so the first thing to do after the auspicious gong sounded was to announce the rules for the match.

The rules of the match were mysterious, with the host first smiling at the two groups and then clapping three times in mid-air. Two men lifted up a large wooden box covered with a red cloth and placed it securely in the center of the stage, and then the large red cloth was lifted. The ceremonial officer hooked his hands and motioned for the two groups of players to come forward.

Su Miao and Changsheng were both stunned, but they still passed obediently, after so long in the competition, these players have long been immune to the strange rules of the organizing committee of the competition. Even if it is a bizarre thing that happens at a big game. Nor will they be surprised.

The two groups gathered around the big wooden box and craned their necks to look into the box.

"Oh my mother!" Zhao He was startled by the black stuff in the water tank, Huo Di jumped back half a step, and said in surprise, "What is this?" ”

Su Miao stared at the round thing in the box, which was covered with spikes and had a strong smell of sea, and raised her eyebrows, her eyes swept over Changsheng and his three assistants.

Changsheng changed assistants in this game, and the competition did not stipulate the selection of assistants. As long as it is three people, as long as the contestants do not change, it is not a violation of the rules.

The new assistants are all strong young men. All of them have beards, all of them are a lot taller than Changsheng, all of them have a prodigal energy that has gone through the south and the north, and they have rich experience and complex experience, and they all look at the things in the box calmly, compared to them, Zhao He and Chen Sheng, who were overly surprised in Su Miao's team, are much inferior.

A pair of black apricot eyes flashed when they drooped, keenly aware of Changsheng's gaze, Su Miao looked over, but what he faced was Changsheng's smiling face, his expression was with a sure victory, inevitable, and a judgment of her without a trace, he was probing her details.

Su Miao's lips were also hooked as if she was smiling, she shook her head, and looked at the water tank in front of her calmly, her face did not change.

Aftertaste was also a little surprised, although he didn't recognize the contents of the tank, but he was really surprised to transport this kind of thing to the King Chef Competition.

When the expressions of the two groups of contestants were different, the ceremonial officer had already put on a thick glove, took out a round black thing full of thorns from the water tank, held it in his hand, and held it up and turned it around to show the spectators in the audience. Everyone knew that this was the ingredient for the next competition, and the spectators, who had never seen anything like this before, were even more surprised than the contestants on the stage, and there was a lot of commotion in the crowd:

"What kind of monster is that?"

"Why do you still have thorns? Still wet? What's this called? ”

"It's scary!"

"Can you eat this thing?"

"It's ugly!"

"Looks kind of disgusting!"

The people outside the fence gate were talking, and the VIP seats inside the fence gate were also talking.

When Hui Gan saw the small thing in the hand of the ceremonial officer, his eyes widened in surprise, and he didn't even swallow the melon seeds:

"How did you get this thing?"

Liang Chang stared at the hand of the ceremonial officer for a long time, frowned, and couldn't help asking:

"What's that?"

Liang Min glanced at him, paused, and replied lightly: "Sea urchin." ”

"Hey, how do you know, maybe you've eaten it too?" Hui Gan asked with a smile.

"I've eaten it." Liang Min admitted.

"Sea urchins? Born in the sea? There is a sea in Liangdu, why have you all eaten it, but I haven't eaten it? Liang Chang became more and more puzzled and asked curiously.

"His Royal Highness King Wen, the sea urchin is a thing that the fishermen who live by the sea are reluctant to eat the sea fish they catch on the fishing boat, so they catch a few sea urchins and eat them raw to satisfy their hunger. Hui Gan said with a smile.

"Bitter? Raw? Liang Chang really didn't know anything about this, frowned and thought for a long time, and asked, "Since it's eaten raw, what else is there to compare it to?" ”

Hui Gan touched his chin and looked at the table with a smile, and said lightly:

"That's why it's more exciting, it's a contest of strength and creativity."

On the stage, the expression of the aftertaste became serious, he glanced at Su Miao, tilted his head to her ear, and asked in a low voice:

"Do you recognize this thing?"

Su Miao didn't answer, she just raised her delicate eyebrows.

The sea urchin, of course, she recognized, was a very common sea creature, belonging to a class under the phylum Echinoderms, an invertebrate that lived in the shallow waters of the ocean. Although this sea creature is not unusual, compared to common sea creatures such as shrimp and fish, sea urchins are not so common and are not very rich in cooking practices. Even in the era of developed information, it was not very abundant, let alone Yueliang Kingdom, a place where the coastal area was not extensive and information was relatively closed.

Hui Gan is right, in Yueliang country, sea urchins are only eaten by fishermen, and fishermen are very different from ordinary people's living habits because they fish, eat and live on the sea all year round, and they are very discriminated against in terms of social status. Naturally, it is not acceptable for people who are discriminated against to eat raw food, so sea urchin is not an ingredient that people in the coastal area do not recognize, and they do not bother to eat it.

In the selection of the four into two in the regional competition of the King of Chef Competition, he actually chose to use sea urchin as the main dish, and his aftertaste eyes flashed slightly, and his expression became more and more serious.

The rules of the first game are to cook a specialty dish with sea urchin as the main ingredient, with no restrictions on accessories, no restrictions on methods, no restrictions on hot and cold, and the time is one hour.

"Let's go!" The ceremonial officer gave an order, and the man raised the copper hammer and struck it on the auspicious gong again, making a loud sound.

The two groups of players returned to each other in silence, with different expressions and full of thoughts, and the game entered a stalemate from the beginning.

"Big brother, we've eaten this thing raw, what can we do?" Qingpi Yuan Hong frowned and whispered.

"Yes, big brother, we can't just serve it raw, but we don't serve it like this, there is no other way to do this thing than eat it raw!" Red-skinned Cai Qingdao.

The black-faced Xia Weng sharpened his kitchen knife without saying a word, and the whole stage heard his kitchen knife rattling on the whetstone.

Changsheng glanced at Su Miao, who was standing behind the cooking table and fiddling with a small sea urchin opposite, his eyes were slightly dull, and he snorted:

"Don't you understand, the rules of this competition are here, non-locally produced ingredients, ingredients that have not been created by predecessors, this is a problem, whoever can solve this problem beautifully will win."

"Big brother, there is only one hour, if you don't start thinking about it now, I'm afraid the time limit of one hour is not enough." Yuan Hong reminded.

Changsheng stared at the sea urchin raised in the water basin, paused, stared at Su Miao opposite, and saw that she also studied the sea urchin with a solemn expression, and then used the tip of the knife to pry the sea urchin open......

Eat it with relish!

"......" the corners of Changsheng's eyebrows twitched fiercely, he really didn't want to say it......

This woman! (To be continued......)
