Chapter 65: Crushed Pride (Ask for Recommendation Votes, Collect!) )

"Kyoto cockfighting?"

is different from ordinary audiences, for this unfamiliar name, Minako Kamiya is obviously very sensitive.

The timely interjection also gave the two big men the opportunity to show their knowledge.

"I don't know, what's the difference between this chicken and regular Kyoto chicken?"

I have to say that as the host, the timing of Minako Kamiya's speech is excellent every time, especially at this time, the judges don't have much to say, and they can't always play the charming pictures of the three female judges, right?

"It should be said that Kyoto chicken is a weakened version of Kyoto fighting, which is easier to raise and easier to cook."

Jiu Zhen Deer Park became a commentator.

"Cockfighting was once all the rage in Kyoto, and Kyoto cockfighting was one of the legendary chickens that was bred at that time, with strong feathers, bones comparable to steel, and chicken with unusual toughness, making it the king of cockfighting."

"Later, cockfighting gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and Kyoto cockfighting gradually became a typical example of difficult to raise and difficult to cook."

"This is why the Kyoto chicken, which was later crossed with ordinary chicken breeds and Kyoto fighting cocks, and is now a specialty of Kyoto Imperial Chicken."

"The elastic chicken, the juicy water, and the flavor that surpasses the taste of ordinary chicken, all of which are put on Kyoto chicken, are all put on Kyoto fighting, and then magnified tenfold, and it is almost the actual taste of Kyoto fighting!"

Blinking, Uemiya Minako's big round eyes were full of puzzlement.

"Why did such a chicken become a legendary ingredient? Even if it's hard to cook, you shouldn't be stumped by Kyoto Go, so many chefs are! ”

For more detailed historical reasons, Kuzo Dekaen has only been here for five years as the head of the IGO Division, so naturally he won't be able to cover everything, so the microphone was transferred to the hands of Nagi Senzaemon, the ogre king.

"It's too hard to raise!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Nagi Senzaemon informed the public of a fact.

"When it comes to cockfighting, every Kyoto cockfight can get a good return, but when it becomes an ingredient, the disproportionate risk and reward is the reason why Kyoto cockfighting is gradually extinct!"

"At that time, raising fighting cocks in Kyoto not only required almost all day care, but also the danger of fighting cocks was extremely high, and every year there were farmers who were injured or even killed by fighting cocks."

Hearing this, everyone present understood why this cockfight became a legendary ingredient, not because it tasted amazing, but because it was too dangerous and the rate of return was too low.

However, in the mouth of Nagi Senzaemon, it is impossible for this kind of fighting to survive in the wild, and it can only be raised in captivity, so such troublesome poultry has become a legend, which is normal.

After listening to this kind of legend and anecdote, everyone can be regarded as filling a little bit of hunger awakened by Zhao Youqian's cooking, and the atmosphere at the scene has calmed down a lot.

The three female judges also came to their senses, but their eyes were no longer the same when they looked at Zhao Youqian at this time.

That kind of exciting and warm feeling made them unable to look at Zhao Youqian normally.

It's so shameful, it's so unforgettable...

"So, how much will the judges rate this dish of Chef Zhao?"

"Let's take a look!"

With the announcement of Minako Kamiya, the numbers that slipped on the big screen have been revealed.

"Yes!!"

"It's five out of 10!"

"Oh my God, let's congratulate Chef Zhao Youqian, he got the highest score now, and it is also the highest score in this competition, a full score of 30!"

In the amazement of Minako Uemiya and the amazement of the audience, the five judges gave their evaluations.

Regardless of whether it is an official competition or not, a dish that has reached the premium standard, and is not limited to the quasi-special level of cuisine, deserves a full score of judgment.

Even Erina Nagikiri, who was unwilling to be conquered by her tongue again, bared her teeth and threatened Zhao Youqian, while honestly giving a full score.

This surprised Zhao Youqian, originally he thought that this tsundere would have to deduct a point.

"Isn't this a champion going to a Yaozhou person?"

Soon such a voice sounded in the audience, although Yaozhou and Dongying have always had a stable relationship, but there is no shortage of different voices, especially when the Western food industry enters Dongying, Yaozhou's threat theory has been repeatedly banned.

Although it was just an entertainment game, the championship of the first place was won by a Yaozhou person, which still made many people unhappy.

As a result, Kondo Haidian, who also has legendary ingredients praised by the judges, has not yet been served, and has become the target of this kind of people.

"Come on, Chef Kondo!"

"Get that Yaozhou kid down!"

As the cheers rang out, a wave was also set off, and Zhao Youqian, who had already retired from the judging stage and returned to his cooking table to rest, just chuckled and looked at Kondo Haidian's dying struggle.

...

"What about super-standard cooking!"

"With the king sea bream and the Luohan crystal slash, I can also achieve a full score!"

At this time, he no longer had the luxury of beating Zhao Youqian in this competition, Kondo Haidian gritted his teeth and spoke to the assistant beside him.

"Prepare liquid nitrogen!"

As if sensing that Kondo Haidian was finally about to make a move, the camera immediately zoomed out the lens to give an unobstructed view of Kondoen's cooking table.

I saw Kondo Haidian take out a frozen round iron bucket from the freezer, and his two assistants continued to spray liquid nitrogen on the cutting board to cool down, and for a while, the white fog was thick, and the cold air shrouded the entire cooking table.

Even the faucets have begun to condense with a layer of frost.

"What is he doing here?"

The thawed king snapper meat, as if it could breathe, exudes a faint white fluorescence and is set aside.

Chimote Natsuya, the queen of curry, looked at Kondo's movements with some strange eyes.

"It's just a trick that doesn't come to the table!"

I had already learned from my grandfather that Kondo Haidian had learned the cooking skills of a dark chef, and Erina Nagiri was particularly disgusted with him.

At the moment when Erina Nagikiri's words fell, Kondo Kaidian had already opened the frozen cylinder, and a thin transparent ice blade was held in his hand.

Ku Zheng Luyuan showed a hint of surprise, of course he recognized what it was.

"Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade?"

Just when he was stunned, the voice of Nagi Senzaemon sounded.

"It's just an imitation, the real Beichen Heavenly Wolf Blade can't be held by him, it will freeze his arm in an instant, and the real thing should emit a faint blue glow."

With Nagi Senzaemon's evaluation, the surprise in the eyes of Jiu Yu Shikaen converged, but he showed a thoughtful expression.

I don't know if it's the pain caused by the extremely low temperature, or if Kondo Kaidian has changed his mind by using dark cooking techniques.

I saw that he suppressed his distorted face, put the king sea bream on the cutting board that had been frozen quickly, and began to cut it like a demon.

Pieces of crystal mirror-like king snapper meat fell on the outer layer of the iceberg that had been piled up on the plate at the same time, and the amazing knife skills seemed to form a constantly changing rainbow mirror in the air.

And when the king snapper meat landed on the iceberg, the fluorescent and reflective appearance also caused a burst of noise from the audience.

"Look, look, we Dongying also have great masters!"

For ordinary people, this skill is indeed much more exciting than the cooking of Onimaru Yamaho, and I also think that Kondo Kaidian is really the best chef in the scene.

"Click!"

A strange sound came out, and when it was not cut but halfway through, the ice blade in Kondo Haidian's hand had been completely broken.

Kondo's distorted expression was a little slower, and he soaked his hands in warm water, and then served wasabi freshly ground with shark skin, as well as Kondoen's special soy sauce to enhance the deliciousness of the king sea bream.

An entire iceberg sea bream sashimi with a faint cyan glow was sent to the judging stage.

"Chilled King Snapper Mountain!"

"Please taste!"

Kondo exhaled in a deep voice, showing a look of confidence.

And Nagi Senzaemon and Kuzo Shikaen just glanced at each other regrettably, so they directly lifted their chopsticks, and then picked up a piece of fish, and put it in their mouths without dipping sauce.

The meat of the fish cut with an extremely low temperature ice blade is as thin as a cicada's wings, but with a hint of extreme coldness, like a smoothie, giving people a vivid illusion in the mouth.

It's like a live king snapper flicking its tail at you in its mouth.

'Let's go'

However, after eating this quasi-special dish, not only did Kuzoen not fall into an illusion, but even the clothes on Nagi Senzaemon did not burst.

And Erina Nagikiri, who is the tongue of the gods, even spit out half of the fish after taking a bite.

The proud eldest lady didn't know what it meant to give face, so she glanced at Kondo Haidian with disdain, and gave her rating coldly.

"Three points, unqualified!"

And Kondo Haidian, who has been showing a calm smile, also seems to have been beaten into hell, with bloodshot eyes and hysterical yelling.

"Why! Why! ”

"Why do I only have three points for the hard work?"

"Impossible, impossible!"
