Chapter Seventy-Eight: Guarding the Important

"What?" Jiang Yunfeng bounced up from the sofa as if he had been electrocuted, grabbed Li Shan's weak shoulders with both hands, and asked in disbelief, "Future sauce, what did you just say?" "Master, you've hurt me!" Li Shan Mirai slapped off Jiang Yunfeng's paws, rubbed his sore shoulders, and suddenly remembered that he was here to move the rescuers, so he hurriedly took Jiang Yunfeng's hand and said anxiously, "Master!" I just saw an uncle who looks like a bad guy in my store and said that he wants to eat a halberd, and if he wins, my mother will buy my store! ”

"Let's go! Hurry up and see how it goes! Jiang Yunfeng picked up the chef's uniform that was still on the side and put it on, and ran out with Kuriyama Future. The live broadcast film crew squatting outside the store immediately set up the machine when they saw Jiang Yunfeng appear, Jiang Yunfeng ignored the reporter who wanted to go up to interview, and said directly to the Xianzi of the Criminal Department, "Store manager!" Mrs. Kuriyama of the izakaya is in trouble and is challenged to eat a halberd! I thought to see how it went! The Xianzi of the Criminal Department was stunned for a moment, and then his face became gloomy, and he said sharply, "Don't go quickly!" I'll be there later, I'm here to see that blind man who dares to make trouble in Akihabara! Jiang Yunfeng was startled by the store manager's instantaneous change of face, just in case, he pulled up his sister who was delivering sugar water, and followed Kuriyama Mirai to the izakaya, and the reporters who had been waiting outside the store were like flies smelling blood, and they also carried the machine to keep up and want to grab the exclusive.

The group rushed to the izakaya, Jiang Yunfeng opened the paper door roughly, and shouted "Who is it!" when he entered the door, "Who is it!!" Who wants to eat halberds with Mrs. Kuriyama!! "Hey~ Jiang Yunfeng, don't make a lot of noise in public!" A very magnetic voice, said in a slightly ridiculous tone, Jiang Yunfeng fixed his eyes, and teased himself that he was sitting in front of the counter Dojima Yin, only to see his left hand on the countertop to support his cheek, right hand on the back of the chair, his gaze only stayed on Jiang Yunfeng's face for a few seconds, and then fell on Jiang Yutong, who was standing behind him, seeing his ancient costume, beauty and nobility, he was shocked for a while, and couldn't help but whistle a few times, and teased: "Classmate Jiang~ I didn't expect you to be so popular with women, and the field training has only been a few days, You've got such a superb girlfriend. "Don't say these misleading words! This is my sister, Jiang Yutong, an international student at the University of Tokyo, who happens to be working at the same shop where I am studying! Jiang Yunfeng hurriedly clarified this misunderstanding, "My sister's academic performance is so good, she has studied at the University of Tokyo, and as a younger brother, you have every cultural test... Ay.. Dojima Silver looked like he hated iron but not steel, pinched his eyebrows and shook his head and sighed. Hey, hey, hey! Dojima senior,You're right... It's rude! Jiang Yunfeng gritted his teeth angrily, and was suddenly pressed to the top of his head by a big hand, and his head was forcibly twisted to the left by an irresistible force, and what caught his eye was the black and scary face of Kojiro Shinomiya, "Yo~~ Guy, is it an honor for a handyman to wash dishes and sweep the floor to let me, the chef of SHINO'S, pick you up in person?" Jiang Yunfeng was embarrassed, immediately admitted it, and said with a smile, "That's okay." Hehe.. I'm sorry!! "Okay, don't make a fuss, since you're here too, you can just form a three-person review with me and the fourth palace to witness this halberd." Dojima Silver greeted the two of them and sat down, Jiang Yunfeng was embarrassed, "Dojima senior, I'm here... Shinomiya Kojiro pushed Jiang Yunfeng's back and said, "The halberd is very sacred, how can there be a reason to find someone to replace it halfway, let's go!" ”

"However, it's not good for an acquaintance to be a judge, so I don't suspect you for changing people."

"That's it! I believe in your work ethic as a chef! Sit down! Dojima Gin, impatiently patted the chair beside him.

Jiang Yunfeng had no choice but to sit down obediently, and Li Shan Future and Jiang Yutong also sat down on the small table and chair behind the three of them, waiting to see what happened. The reporters who followed did not expect that star chefs such as Dojima Silver and Kojiro Shinomiya would appear in this small shop to witness a halberd together, and they also followed into the store, and each chose a position to set up a machine and start broadcasting the whole process.

Because of the decoration, Jiang Yunfeng didn't find out that in addition to Mrs. Kuriyama in a water-blue kimono at the counter, there was also a person wearing a brand-name suit, a slender and straight figure, a meticulous three-seven split hair, I don't know how much wax I weared, my hair reflected the light like a mirror, and the lack of sunshine and sickly pale face with a pair of gold-wire glasses made the already eagle-like eyes even more gloomy, and the overall feeling was that there was no writing on the face. The word 'bad guy', but this person Jiang Yunfeng happened to know, and it was on the way to Akihabara for training, and he used his mobile phone to read the news that the chef of the 'Ryuyin' restaurant, who has recently become famous in Tokyo, Ryuichi Asai.

Ryuichi Asai took off his suit jacket, threw it aside, rolled up the sleeves of his silk white shirt, and said to Mrs. Kuriyama, "Mrs. Kuriyama has agreed, and the judges have arrived, so let's get started, since this is an izakaya, let's use oden to decide the winner." Mrs. Kuriyama nodded in agreement, took out a ribbon from her arms, bit one end in her mouth, and pulled the ribbon from the armpit of her right hand to the left shoulder, and then passed through the left armpit and pulled it back along the back to the right shoulder and tied the ribbon on her mouth into a bow to tie the sleeves of the kimono to facilitate movement, and took out a white scarf and tied her hair into a ponytail, and walked to the cooking table side by side with Ryuichi Asai, while waiting for the instructions to start the cooking. Dojima Silver stood up, and Masasei said, "Asai Ryuichi has always been Kuriyama Mayumi (Mrs. Kuriyama's full name) to launch the halberd, and the bet is to buy an izakaya for 100 million yen, the theme oden, the time is two hours, witnessed by my Dojima Gin, Shinomiya Kojiro, and Jiang Yunfeng, and the cooking begins!" ”

"Oh!! 100 million yen!! The reporters present exchanged heads and ears, and they all realized that this was a big news, so they worked hard to broadcast the live broadcast with their families. Mayumi Kuriyama and Ryuichi Asai started cooking at the same time, putting the water in the iron pot on the stove to heat, but the difference is that Mayumi Kuriyama cooks kombu soup in an iron pot, while Ryuichi Asai uses a casserole, and the choice of raw materials is also different, Mayumi Kuriyama uses white radish, konjac, fish snow cake, fried fish cake, chikuwa, and eggs seem to be the traditional method, while Ryuichi Asai uses cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, white radish, hot dog sausages, crab meat, minced pork, konjac, fish tofu, small shiitake mushrooms, onions, eggs, and small octopus. The production process is generally the same, all of them are about cutting the white radish into small sections, but for the processing of the white radish, Mrs. Kuriyama peels the radish, repairs the shape, and opens the cross knife at the top and bottom, while Ryuichi Asai directly cuts the white radish into small sections and has four small petals with skin, and the rest of the materials are treated in the same way, the konjac is cut into a knife in the middle, flipped into a twist shape, the fish tofu is cut diagonally, and the white radish, konjac, and fish tofu are first scalded in boiling water for a while. However, Mrs. Kuriyama poured some rice into it before blanching the ingredients, "Why is this rice?" Are you going to cook porridge? Jiang Yunfeng, who was not familiar with Japanese food, asked the two gods around him curiously, and Kojiro Shinomiya, who was proficient in French cuisine, did not speak, and tacitly agreed that he did not know. Dojima Gingami smiled, "This can remove the astringency of the ingredients and increase the sweetness, understand?" Jiang Yunfeng nodded with a sense of enlightenment.

Both of them finished blanching the ingredients, and in order, the hard-to-taste white radish and the boiled peeled eggs were first put into the kombu broth prepared with flavored wine, juice, thin soy sauce, and white sugar, and stewed, during which Asai Ryuichi also said that the cabbage leaves were scalded immediately and immediately taken out and ready to be soaked in ice water on the side, chopped onions, mixed with minced pork, added mirin wine, small shiitake mushrooms, starch kneaded into meat filling, wrapped in cabbage leaves and fixed with toothpicks, and stewed in a pot with other easy-to-taste ingredients. Mrs. Kuriyama put on a delicate wooden lid after putting her ingredients in it, and after about 30 minutes of cooking, she lifted the iron pot away from the stove and cooled it for 30 minutes, before reheating it on the stove, while Ryuichi Asai kept heating it after putting a small octopus leg in his casserole.

"It's time! Cooking stops! Dojima looked at his phone and loudly announced that the halberd had stopped, and Mrs. Kuriyama and Ryuichi Asai brought their work to the three judges at the same time, and at the same time lifted the lid of the pot, and the two pots of oden, which were completely different in the steam, were presented to everyone, "So, let's start tasting." The three of them picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of soup from Mrs. Kuriyama's pot, gently cooled it, and drank it all, and a warm current slowly spread and flowed in the body. Zhongzheng Pinghe does not have a particularly prominent umami, giving people a bland feeling, just like a newlywed wife making dinner at home, and the moment she sees her husband coming home from work at night pushing open the door, that happiness is difficult to express in words.

After Jiang Yunfeng and the others reminisced for a while, they picked up the water and rinsed their mouths, washed off the aftertaste, took a clean spoon from the new, scooped a spoonful of soup from the pot of Ryuichi Asai, and tasted it slowly. The artistic conception of taste switches between the mountains and the sea, and the two extremes of calm and surging, which seem to be incompatible, are perfectly integrated in this pot, and the biggest drawback of Asai Ryuichi's oden is that there are no shortcomings, although they are not prominent, but they are infinitely attackable.

"Let's vote." Dojima Gin let out a long sigh and put the soup spoon into Ryuichi Asai's pot, and Kojiro Shinomiya followed suit, although the victory and defeat were divided, but everyone in the audience turned their eyes to Jiang Yunfeng, who was supporting the table with both hands and the commander of COS Ikari. After a long time, Jiang Yunfeng sighed, "I'm sorry, Aunt Lishan!" "Put the spoon in Ryuichi's pot as well. Asai Ryuichi smiled at the corner of his mouth, clapped his hands, a yellow-haired young man ran in outside the izakaya, handed over the document bag in his arms, Asai Ryuichi took the document bag and took out the real estate transfer contract from it, signed his name, and then handed it to Mrs. Kuriyama opposite, smiled and said, "Mrs. Kuriyama, please read the terms clearly, I will transfer the 100 million yen payment to your account before noon tomorrow, and then please move out of here as soon as possible." Raising her hand to pull off the square scarf on her head, Mrs. Kuriyama smiled bitterly, "In the end, I still failed to keep the legacy that Ah Sheng left me. "Hugging her daughter who threw herself into her arms and crying bitterly, she stretched out her trembling hand and prepared to take the contract." Syllable! Suddenly, a hand stretched out diagonally and slapped the contract on the table, and Jiang Yunfeng stood up. You guy!! The yellow-haired young man burst out, grabbed the beer bottle on the table with his right hand, and was about to smash it on Jiang Yunfeng's head, Jiang Yutong behind him stared at him, stretched out his hand and pulled out the baton from his leg bag and flew forward, but a figure was faster than her, Uncle Billy, who was looking outside the store, didn't know when he took a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks on the table, and came behind the yellow-haired youth, a Wang Yu hugged, held the right hand of the yellow-haired youth holding the beer bottle, and held the chopsticks in his left hand into the nostrils of the yellow hair, and said in a frivolous tone, "Hi ~ BOY, Young people don't be impulsive, if you are impulsive, I will be impulsive, if I am impulsive, then the hand will not obey the call, which is not good for everyone. Although his tone was frivolous, the thick murderous intent still made Huang Mao break out in a cold sweat, "This friend, let go of my subordinates, he is still a young man." Asai Ryuichi said to Uncle Billy, and finally turned his head to look at Jiang Yunfeng and asked, "You are the Jiang Yunfeng who played clever tricks in the 'Chef King Competition' to overturn Lu Ming and step on shit to win the championship of this year's autumn trials?" Jiang Yunfeng looked at Asai Long without any falsehood, and replied, "That's right! It's me. Now I'm going to unleash the halberd on you, and the bet is still on this tavern, whatever you want! ”

"I refuse!"

"Isn't it impossible to refuse the halberd? Then you.... ”

Ryuichi Asai smiled disdainfully, "Are you a student of Yuanyue?" I can't refuse if the two parties are equal, I want this Izakaya, so Mrs. Kuriyama is equal to me, and you, what kind of thing? ”

Jiang Yunfeng gritted his teeth angrily, "Then you say!" How can I give up the acquisition of izakaya, as long as I do it, it is my duty! ”

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Ryui's mouth, and he pointed to the reporters who broadcast the whole live broadcast and said, "For the sake of you being a student of Yuanyue, I will give you a chance in front of the national audience, when you start cooking, you can't use any kitchen utensils, kitchen knives, oil and any seasonings, and you have to satisfy me when you fry a dish, and I will cancel the acquisition contract if I do it, if you can't do it, the contract continues, you... Let me drop out of school and go back to China, and I will never be able to set foot in the culinary world again for the rest of my life! What do you think? ”

Jiang Yunfeng angrily squeezed out a trace of voice from between his teeth, "Okay!! You have to talk the talk! (To be continued)
