Chapter 39: Competition
Fortunately, Carmen may have taken into account Locke's feelings on the side, and did not talk to Sanji for long, and quickly explained the purpose of her coming to compete in cooking.
After knowing that Locke's group was not here to cause trouble, the chefs who had originally gathered dispersed one after another, but after hearing that Sanji Yao Hei Carmen despised cooking, they gathered again in an uproar.
Soon, the guests who were originally eating in the restaurant were also very much looking forward to it after knowing that there would be a cooking competition, and they were willing to be the judges of the two-person competition.
Even some of the people who were about to leave after eating stopped to see the cooking competition.
Soon in Red-Footed Zhep, he also came down from the upper floor and personally arranged the venue for the game.
The venue is set up on the fins outside the restaurant, and Carmen and Sanji each have a stove, and they each choose the best dish they think they have made.
When it's done, the dish for two will be judged by the guests who didn't leave, and then everyone will have a chance to vote, and the most votes will win.
Soon, the tournament began under the auspices of Jepd the Redfoot, and Sanji chose to cook a very common Japanese dish, salmon sashimi.
I saw that Sanji took out a fresh salmon that he had just gotten in the morning, first used a skillful knife to pull out the big thorns, and then skillfully cut the fish into pieces, and then peeled it.
After removing the skin of the fish, I saw the knife in Sanji's hand turn, and directly threw the large piece of fish meat that had just been cut into the air, and then it was a dazzling knife work.
When Sanji put down the knife again, he saw the fish in the air fall one by one, landing on the ice cubes that had been prepared for a long time, and I saw that each piece of salmon was the same thickness, although I don't know how thin it is, but if I pick up a piece casually, I can see the blurred figure on the opposite side through the fish.
Then Sanji began to prepare the condiment, to know whether the salmon sashimi is good or not, although the fish meat is very important, but the important thing is the condiment.
As the screen turns, we look at Carmen, and the dish Carmen chooses to cook is actually the way Locke told Carmen to return to the pot based on his memories of his previous life.
But think about it, this dish is Locke's favorite to eat, and Carmen often makes Locke to eat, and it is not too much to say that Carmen makes the best dish, and Carmen has also spent a lot of effort to improve the dish, and the method is completely different from the original.
I don't know if Carmen is not confident or what, this time the steps of her cooking have not changed, but according to the time when Locke taught her.
First, I chose a piece of wild boar meat that I took from the Phantom Hao, found a piece of fat and thin pork belly, and then put it in boiling water to cook, and then when the pork was cooked, I took it out and cut it into pieces and put it away.
While doing all this, Carmen didn't show off her knife skills, but just did it slowly, as she usually did when she cooked for Locke.
Looking at Carmen's expression as she cooked, it seemed that it was not a dish, but the intention of being a lover.
After the meat is cut, the lard is poured into the pan that is already hot, and then after all the oil has melted, the seasonings cut next to it are poured in one by one.
After the frying was almost done, the pork that had begun to be sliced and stir-fried, and soon, bursts of aroma came out of the pot, and the diners who were standing not far away and watching them were attracted by the aroma, and some even left their saliva out.
Both of them moved quickly, without letting the people next to them wait, and the two dishes with different images were served in front of the diners, and the diners first chose the back pot meat made by Carmen, after all, this dish, the diners had never seen it, and the aroma it emitted was too tempting.
So the result is obvious, after the diners eat the strong flavor of the pot meat, after eating the lighter salmon sashimi, you will feel that it is not as flavorful as the first one, although Sanji is also very good, but the dish is wrong.
After the final results came out, as expected, Carmen took a big lead and won Sanji.
"Hah! Ha! Ha! Won. After the game, Locke came to Carmen's side and cheered for her.
However, at this time, Carmen's face did not have the joy of winning the game, but fell into contemplation, and this kind of performance has been present since Carmen ate the dishes made by Sanji.
However, at this time, the crew was all happy for Carmen, and they did not notice Carmen's expression at all.
"Sanji, you are indeed qualified to be my lifelong opponent." I don't know when Carmen walked up to Sanji and said.
“???” Sanji was quite happy to see Carmen walking towards him, but after hearing Carmen's words, the whole person was not good.
Feed! What are the opponents of life, what else can we become! Don't define it so early!
"I lost this competition, but I didn't expect you to make such a delicious taste with simple sashimi." Carmen said again.
"Miss Carmen, you won this time, and although I have never seen your dish again, it is indeed rare in the world to taste it." At this time, Sanji also became serious.
"Food?" Hearing Sanji's words, Carmen thought about it and directly gave Sanji the notebook she had been keeping by her side to record the dishes.
"I'm looking forward to competing with you." With that, Carmen turned and left, heading towards the Phantom.
This scene fell into the eyes of the crew of the Phantom, who didn't understand what was wrong with Carmen at all, but at this time, the attentive Locke was by the side and tasted Sanji and Carmen's dishes separately.
Putting down the dishes, without saying anything, he chased after Carmen.
Locke's series of actions stunned Yun Zhinan and the others, and they didn't understand what was wrong with them at all.
Soon Locke caught up with Carmen, but he didn't say anything, just came over and slowly picked up Carmen's words.
"Locke, I won't lose next time." Carmen looked up at Locke.
"I'll always be there for you."
Then the two doctors fell silent for a while.
Suddenly, Carmen looked up, kissed Locke on the cheek, and said, "Thank you for remembering." Then he flew away and went back to his room.
"Little fool, how could I not remember what you said!" Touching the cheek that had just been kissed, Locke muttered with a smile on his face.
"What are you still doing? Get on board and set sail, it's time for us to go. Locke yelled at the still flustering group behind him.
After everyone got on the boat, Locke yelled at Sanji, who was still standing outside, "Sanji, I'll be waiting for you in the new world, looking forward to seeing you next time, by the way, if you meet a guy with a green algae head, remember to tell him that I look forward to his challenge." ”
"What?" Locke's last words directly made Sanji stunned, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
