"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the final of the 'Chef Championship'! The two sides are Michelin-starred Chinese restaurants, one of the four in the world, Guangzhou Yangquan Restaurant! With this year's dark horse, Yokohama Chinatown, Hojo Building! Good! Without further ado, two teams are invited! "Because it was the final, the host was also very excited, and motioned for the two teams to come to the long table full of ingredients and stand up." So, let's uncover the true face of today's ingredients! Everyone worked together to remove the white cloth covering the long table, and eighty kinds of ingredients of various colors were presented in front of everyone's eyes.

"Oh!" Kohei Soma excitedly shouted, "There are so many, there are many of them are top ingredients that can be found but not sought, and I really have no regrets in my life to be able to use them for cooking!" ”

Jiang Yunfeng bumped into Chuangzhen and said, "What stupid things are you talking about!" That's what sent you away? In the future, if you go with me to the 'Manchu Han Full Banquet' and see bear paws, monkey brains or something, then you won't be happy to faint! ”

"Is there really a bear's paw, a monkey brain? Aren't these all protected animals? Chuangzhen looked shocked: "Could it be that you Chinese really eat everything except airplanes flying in the sky, boats in the water, and people walking on the ground?" ”

Jiang Yunfeng was speechless for a while, and sighed, "There are no such things now, they are all imitated with other materials, do you understand the imitation food?" It is to use ingredients with similar materials to make a different taste, and when school starts, I will use tofu to make monkey brains for you to taste. ”

"Really? It's such a happy decision! ”

Lu Ming, who was observing the ingredients on the other side of the long table, heard the conversation between Jiang Yunfeng and Chuangzhen, and interjected with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, you can actually imitate food, you are really young and promising, I really want to see your strength, senior brother, can I fight with them?" ”

Sojiro Hojo replied with a smile, "Yes, but if you don't have enough time to lose to me in desserts, don't complain, anyway, I'm going to do my best to prepare desserts." If I lose, I'm second. ”

"If you don't want to compete for the championship, what's the difference between you and Salted Fish!"

Sojiro plucked out his ears and said, "I'm already a salted fish, so there's no difference." ”

Seeing that her father and Uncle Lu Ming were vindictive like children, Miyoko Hojo moved silently, pretending not to know them, but she was attracted by a plate of small pufferfish, Miyoko pulled the sleeve of Jiang Yunfeng's chef's uniform and asked, "What is this?" It's not the same as the puffer fish we've seen before, it's too small. ”

After being reminded by Miyoko, Jiang Yunfeng found that there was a puffer fish on the long table, so he replied, "This is a processed swallowtail dolphin, which is a specialty of the Yangtze River estuary in China, but it is summer, and it should not be the season of swallowtail dolphins yet?" Suddenly, Jiang Yunfeng pointed to another plate of ingredients on the table and exclaimed, "There is also hump meat, the program team has really invested in the enjoyment of the finals, hump is a rare delicacy, I know what to do with the appetizer and the main dish!" ”

Just as the chef was glaring and the sous chefs were busy planning the menu, the host announced that the time to familiarize himself with the ingredients was over and the selection began. Jiang Yunfeng handed a list with the names of the ingredients written on it to Sojiro and looked at it, Sojiro looked at the names of the ingredients on the list and frowned and asked, "Are you sure?" Hump, it's hard to get rid of its own smell in such a short time. ”

"Don't worry, as long as you take it according to the list, it's no problem, Uncle Sojiro, I have confidence to win them!"

"Okay."

Sojiro came up and took away the swallowtail dolphin, and Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, thinking what kind of plane this kid was going to do, and he would take the perch himself. When he saw Sojiro take away the hump meat again, Lu Ming already vaguely felt that if he didn't show some real skills today, he would probably have to carry this kid on his hands. The selection of ingredients ended quickly, because it was the finals, and the two sides still knew each other, so the ingredients were exchanged and some painless materials were given, and the main menus of both sides were basically well preserved. "This is the end of the distribution of ingredients, forty kinds of each, each must be used, otherwise it is a violation, then, 45 minutes for each team to prepare the appetizer, the game begins!" The host pushes the button of the timer, and both parties move the ingredients back to their respective cooking areas to start making the appetizer.

Jiang Yunfeng put all the swallowtail dolphins under the water stream to rinse them, and then used towels to absorb the water one by one. Asked Soma and Miyoko to help deal with the swallowtail dolphins, and then went to find two large glass basins, and then took out two Kohei Sojin's treasured 'Sekiki Water Besaku' willow knives and put them in a glass basin, poured a large amount of liquid nitrogen to flash freeze, and filled the other basin with warm water. Xingping Chuangzhen looked at his two treasures soaked in liquid nitrogen, and his heart was dripping blood, Jiang Jun, you are too ruthless, don't torture my baby like this!

Erina Nagi was also puzzled when she saw Jiang Yunfeng's movements, and asked, "Senior Sun, what's the point of how he does it, there's no need to freeze knives specifically for cutting pufferfish?" ”

Sun Yuanliang squinted his eyes and said, "The swallowtail dolphin is different from the species of pufferfish, the swallowtail dolphin is small in size, the meat is particularly delicate, and it is easy to be polluted. However, this kind of operation is extremely demanding on the chef's knife work, and the knife at a slight low temperature will stick to the chef's hand and cause frostbite on the hand, which is a dangerous move. Hearing Sun Yuanliang's explanation, Erina Nagikiri looked at Jiang Yunfeng who was standing in front of the cooking table with his eyes closed and taking a deep breath with his eyes closed, and his sister Jiang Yutong in the support area and Yuanyue everyone who was watching the live broadcast in front of the TV were also paying attention to him.

Miyoko sent the processed swallowtail pork meat to Jiang Yunfeng and said, "It's all handled, what should I do next?" Jiang Yunfeng opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Miyoko please make another lime juice with Chuangzhen, and prepare to plate it after that, our appetizer is to pay attention to the original taste, once I start, you will roll the fish meat I cut into a flower and put it on the plate, remember to use bamboo chopsticks, don't use other metal chopsticks." "Okay. We got it. After exhaling deeply, Jiang Yunfeng put the fish meat on the board, and pulled out a willow blade from the liquid nitrogen basin with billowing white smoke on the side, and after the rapid freezing, the blade refracted a seeping cold light in the sun. With a Ning look, Jiang Yunfeng held down the fish with his left hand, the blue light flashed in his right hand, and a piece of fish meat as thin as a cicada's wings was put aside, Miyoko quickly rolled the fish into flowers with bamboo chopsticks according to the instructions in advance and began to put it on the plate, Jiang Yunfeng found that the temperature of the willow blade in his hand had become high, so he reached out to the warm water to dissolve the sticky hand, inserted it back into the liquid nitrogen, and then pulled out another handful to continue to slice the fish.

There are still 5 minutes left in the appetizer time, Yangquan Restaurant signaled the host to cry out the dishes, and the staff passed in front of everyone in the Hojo Building with the dishes, "Sure enough, it is baked lobster in soup, and the classic appetizer of Cantonese cuisine is really tried and tested!" Time is running out, we need to speed up! Jiang Yunfeng cheered for Miyoko and Chuangzhen, and he finally slice all the swallowtail dolphins after 5 rounds of knife changes. Looking at his right hand, which was frozen purple, he was glad that he had the foresight to prepare warm water, and he would not tear off a piece of skin like Wren played Beichen Wolf Blade in the anime. The end whistle sounded, and Hojo House pressed the whistle again. When the staff came to serve the food, Jiang Yunfeng motioned for them to wait first, asked the host to pass the microphone and said loudly to the audience, "Please taste the 'Autumn Swallow Returns' produced by Hojolou, according to the rules of the ancestors to eat puffer fish, the first bite will be eaten by the chef of the main knife!" After that, he returned the microphone to the host, picked up a fish flower with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it before letting the staff take the dish away. (To be continued)
