Chapter 161: Halberd Gambling
The luxury of this castle still surprised Erina Nagikiri.
She is also a wealthy lady, in and out of various high-end places, but she has never seen such a magnificent and gorgeous castle, whether it is the exquisite decoration of the building, or the rigorous elegance of the maids, all of which reflect the weight and nobility.
What exactly is this place?
Erina Nagikiri followed Joan of Arc without saying a word, as if this was the only way to find some security.
"Here we are."
Shen He stopped in front of a six-meter-tall black double-opening gate.
Before Erina Nagi could guess what was inside, the two maids standing at the door had already slowly called the door after giving a salute.
Suddenly, compared to the outside, a more lively place appeared in front of me.
Here it is - a huge kitchen.
In the palace-like room, there were maids in black and white aprons walking around, carrying and handling various ingredients, and she even saw a giant bison more than two meters high, and a wild boar with huge fangs, and the maids were neatly peeling the skin along the lines and cutting different parts of the meat.
"You're here at the right time." Shen He walked in and patted a wild boar, "We just happened to be in a world that has been barren for thousands of years, and we have beaten some mutated creatures. ”
These prey were all caught in the world of Neil Automata.
In that world, not only the plants have mutated and grown very large, but even the animals are the same, and one is huge.
So after Shen He met, he caught some game and put it in his backpack and brought it back.
"These are the ingredients of another world you said?" Erina Nagikiri suppressed her excitement.
Even she could tell the quality of the meat, which was undoubtedly an ingredient that was not found on earth.
"More than that." Shen He shook his head, "It's not an easy thing to open up the ingredients of the unknown world, no one knows which ones can be eaten, which ones can't be eaten, which ones are delicious, and how to make them delicious, I don't have so much patience, so just get a little bit and forget it, what I really want to show you is these." ”
He pointed to the kitchen utensils in the center!
"Anyone else uses such old-fashioned kitchen utensils?" Erina Nagikiri looked in the direction he was pointing, and couldn't help but frown.
She didn't know what Shen He meant by letting her see these kitchenware, but these, judging from the style, were like kitchenware from hundreds of years ago, and they didn't look very good in appearance.
"Try it, and you'll see." Shen He picked up the kitchen knife and handed it to her with his backhand.
Erina Nagikiri didn't know what Shen He was thinking, and the smile on his face always gave people a weird feeling.
But when the eyes are on the kitchen knife...... But suddenly, there was a trembling sensation of an electric current flashing through the heart.
The palm of the hand is stretched out unconsciously.
This, what exactly is this......
At the moment when he grasped the handle of the kitchen knife, a shiver flashed through his body, as if he had cut it with this kitchen knife thousands of times, and even had the feeling that the sages of the past generations guided the knife technique by hand.
This kitchenware! This kitchenware!
As a chef, Erina Nagikiri can no longer describe how she feels at this time, she walks over and holds the black pot with her other hand, brushes the blade, every piece of kitchen utensils, as if it has a soul, and even in this short period of time, she can clearly feel that she has a new understanding in cooking.
It's an artifact! It's a treasure! It's every chef's dream!
"Do you feel it?" Shen He smiled, "The name of this set of kitchenware, called 'Legendary Kitchenware', is a treasure in the world where cooking skills are also respected, although that world can no longer be found, but this set of kitchenware has been preserved by us." ”
"I want this ......" Erina Nagikiri said with difficulty, she couldn't hide her longing.
"That's not going to work." Shen He raised a finger and shook it, "This is my thing, but you can exchange the food for the right to use these kitchen utensils, if your food is qualified, then it is difficult for you to use it once in three days, no, once a week, this is a dream honor for countless chefs." ”
He almost returned the words of Erina Nagi just now.
"You guy!"
Erina Nagi gritted her teeth and glared at Shen He, suddenly her hands were around her chest, her beautiful long hair seemed to be automatic without wind, and her eyes bloomed with a fierce fighting spirit.
"In that case, let's use the chef's method to solve it, let's eat the halberd! Bet on your needs! ”
"Halberd?" Shen He was completely stunned.
He just wanted to tease the eldest lady, why did he become a halberd.
"These kitchenware have signs of recent use, and any of you are chefs too." Erina Nagikiri raised her voice slightly, "If you don't dare to challenge, then it's okay to restrict the halberd." ”
The so-called conditional restriction halberd is a very special way of eating halberd.
There is too much difference in the strength of the two sides, and the restrictions on one side, such as ingredients, time, theme, etc., are usually used for teaching.
In order to be able to get her hands on these legendary kitchenware, Erina Nagikiri is ready to give it a go.
"That's it......" Shen He groaned slightly, looked at the obviously nervous eldest lady, and suddenly smiled, "I'm just an amateur hobby chef, since I want to eat halberds, it really can't be without restrictions, so be it, the referee is up to me, as long as one of the three thinks that I make it better than yours, then how about I win?" ”
"Yes." Erina Nagi agreed without much hesitation, "However, give me a convincing reason. ”
The referee is the opponent's person, and of course beware of blowing a black whistle.
As long as she is sincere, she doesn't think that the food she makes will lose to the person in front of her.
"If you win, you can use the legendary kitchenware at your disposal, and if I win, I will have the right to taste you at any time, no, the right to make the food you make, at any time." Shen He deliberately accentuated his tone on the word "anytime".
"No problem, can we start?" Erina Nagikiri is already a little impatient.
As for the other party's request, it doesn't matter what it does on the premise that it won't lose.
"The referee is invited to enter." Shen He snapped his fingers.
The two ceremonies and Violet obeyed the summons and came to his side.
At the same time, the surrounding environment changed in an instant, and in front of the place where the legendary kitchen utensils were placed, two identical kitchen tables suddenly appeared, and the maids put the prepared ingredients into them, and then stood quietly aside, while the three judges, including Joan of Arc, sat on the referee's bench that also appeared suddenly.
They all already knew what was going on.
The two ceremonies of "Cooking Competition......" seemed to be a little interested, "The other party is a professional chef, it is difficult for Shen He to win." ”
"Yes." Joan of Arc covered her mouth and smiled, "But, I'm looking forward to it." ”
"The Master will win."
Violet interjected, and she was probably the only one here who had confidence in Shen He.
The two ceremonies glanced at Violet thoughtfully.
On the other side, the halberd has officially begun.
Erina Nagikiri first quickly checked the ingredients, although it is not a top-notch one, but it is not bad, and the tools are complete, there is no theme limit, and the other party does not use those magical kitchen utensils, is this not taking this halberd seriously at all?
She couldn't help but turn around and look at Shen He on the side.
found that he was beating the egg, took out the yolk, and his demeanor and movements were all engrossed and very serious.
Forget it, if you are serious, you should be respectful of those kitchen utensils.
Erina Nagikiri cheered up, looked at the ingredients, and had already chosen the food she was going to make.
Both sides were engrossed, and time flew by.
Compared with the real halberd, after all, there is still a lack of professional commentary and the people who are responsible for the amazed melon-eating crowd, but in the quiet environment, Erina Nagikiri even feels that she is extraordinary, and when the caviar like black gold is carefully placed on the plate, she can't help but turn around and look at Shen He's work.
Is that...... Cream cake?
That's right, it's not a high-end cake, it's not a Western aristocratic dish, it's just a simple strawberry cream cake, a cane dish that can be made at any cake shop on the side of the road.
"You guy!" Erina Nagikiri's whole body trembled a little, and she was angry, "Are you insulting the halberd?" ”
In the world of the Halberd Spirit, the Halberd is undoubtedly sacred, and it is the place where the chefs of both sides gamble on their respective culinary skills for a sacred duel.
It shouldn't be this general attitude of indifference!
"Of course—no." Shen He looked at her the same way, his expression was very serious, "I have already used all my strength to make the highest level of food." ”
“......”
Erina Nagikiri looked at his expression and bit her lip, not knowing what kind of mood it should be.
"Forget it." Finally, he crossed his hands on his hips, "I'll win anyway, hurry up and end it, I still want to try new dishes with the legendary kitchenware." ”
After the other party loses for a while, agree to give them the right to taste their practice works, hmph, it's just for the sake of the other party to provide new ingredients.
There were already maids who brought the work of the two to the three judges.
One is a simple strawberry cream cake, and the other is caviar, which is as delicate and expensive as black gold, and it seems that there is no suspense at all.
Joan of Arc stretched out a spoon and first dug a spoonful of the cake made by Shen He, and couldn't help but light up.
"Oh, it's still familiar, and it's a big improvement, Master."
"Thank you." Shen He smiled shyly.
After all, the legendary kitchenware that has been used for so long is impossible without progress.
Joan of Arc then picked up the prepared shell spoon, carefully scooped a spoonful of caviar into her mouth, gently spread it on her tongue, and slowly crushed the caviar grain by grain with the tip of her tongue.
"Hmm-"
I couldn't help but let out a moving moan.
At the moment of caviar import, the tongue is slightly pressed, and at first it seems to feel the taste of the faint sea breeze, but it is also the lingering in this millisecond, which makes people feel extremely relaxed and comfortable, and then, the free-spirited breath escapes between the lips and teeth, and the intriguing taste of the ocean explodes, making people feel like they are on a boat running freely in the waves, bringing an indescribable richness to the taste.
It's just the taste, but it can bring people a whole body enjoyment!
Shen He's eyes widened, and he found that a button suddenly broke on the shirt of Joan of Arc's small black dress, and the lilac lace revealed a mysterious corner.
