Chapter 43: The Strange Choice (Ask for Recommendation Votes and Collections!) )
The halberd is a very sacred thing in this world, but it also means that the loser's side will be beaten into the abyss.
Unless it is a halberd involving reputation, or has some other purpose, generally speaking, halberds are private and covert development, especially among special chefs, which are rare in this world.
In addition, Dongying has always been not the top and powerful in the culinary industry, and it is a bridgehead for the invasion of Eastern and Western culinary schools, and the pull of the two cooking concepts makes Dongying's culinary skills can only be maintained at a balanced stage.
Otherwise, for Zhao Youqian's dish that shimmered with red light, the residents here would not be so surprised.
You must know that for the people of Yaozhou, only the cuisine that shines golden light is the best cuisine, and this fact has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
Dishes like Zhao Youqian, which are close to the top grade, are not often seen, but they are not too unfamiliar, at least occasionally on TV and the Internet.
However, this kind of cuisine can already set off a storm of topics in the green and yellow East Sakura, and you can perceive the problems behind the seemingly huge East Sakura cuisine world.
That's why Nagi Senzaemon has always wanted to start the 'Jade Generation' again.
The last Jade Generation, no matter what the final result was, the pillars of the new generation of Far Moon, Tsudojima Gin, and Seiichiro Kohira, were already the closest to that level of existence.
Although the man of the far moon, who was the last to defect, had surpassed them in cooking skills at this time, that path was not the right path to be recognized.
In any case, if you want to change the current crisis in the Dongzakura cooking world, a new wave of talented people is the key, which is why Nagi Senzaemon wants to invite Zhao Youqian to join Enyue in every possible way.
Even if Zhao Youqian is no longer a student, as a peer and a person of similar age, his catfish effect will surpass that of the Ten Masters, and even those characters in the legend of Yuanyue.
Bringing out more possibilities to potential students is also the vitality needed by the entire Tozakura culinary world!
At this time, sitting in the car, Nagi Senzaemon was heading towards the halberd stage, his eyes flashing.
Looking at the dazzling sunlight outside, he muttered.
"It should have begun, right? Halberd..."
.......
The closed stage has no audience, and when the IGO judges enter, the halberd will be unfurled.
The boiling water has already been boiled separately, and this general preparation in advance will not be regarded as a sneak or anything.
The two involved in the halberd, one with a calm face and the other with a nervous face, but the one who couldn't tell the nervousness at all was the initiator of the halberd.
Seiichiro Kohira, who was seated on either side of the judges' seat, and Kumamoto Kitashiro did not communicate.
One smelled of laziness, while the other had fierce eyes, and if it weren't for the fact that there was a stool in between, they would be the most unlikely two people to sit together.
"Bang dang!"
The soft sound of the door opening was heard, and soon a tall man walked in, led by the staff.
Seeing this man with a smile and a good temper appear, even Seiichiro Koheira had a slight change in his eyes.
'He's here himself?' ’
The fierce aura of Xiong Yuan in the Northern Dynasty was even more blazing!
'IGO Sub-Chief, Jiu Zheng Deer Park! ’
Sweeping past the two people sitting on the judges' bench, Jiu Zheng Deer Park was not much surprised, and looked at both sides of the halberd.
"Sorry for the delay."
Then his expression was solemn, and a solemn atmosphere suddenly permeated the air.
"So, I announce!"
"Halberd, go!!"
There is no superfluous explanation, let alone explanation, if you can forget even the halberd you agreed on, then you deserve to lose everything and lose the halberd.
Chefs enjoy the most praise in this world, and naturally they also have the most cruel elimination rules!
Almost at the moment when Jiu Zheng Luyuan's words fell, Zhao Youqian moved!
The ingredients have been checked a long time ago, and although they are not the best because of the season, they have reached the point where they are sufficient.
After determining the recipe, Zhao Youqian's movements were fast.
I saw that one by one the crabs were quickly taken out by him, and then the shell body was separated with a knife prie, and the gills and crab hearts were removed, and they were directly cut into six pieces and put aside for later use.
But even if he cut more than a dozen crabs, there didn't seem to be many crabs in front of Zhao Youqian.
This made the eyes of Jiu Zheng Luyuan and Xiong Yuan of the Northern Dynasty on the judges' bench shrink slightly.
"Didn't he use hairy crabs and sea crabs?"
"That's... Creek crabs? ”
You must know that crabs are based on umami, since ancient times, there are lakes, two rivers, three rivers, four streams, five ditches and six seas, that is to say, the hairy crabs in the lake are the most delicious, the second class is the river crab, and the fourth class is the crab in the stream, as for the sea crab, although the umami is not bad, more or taste the meat and crab roe.
It can be said that how to choose the crab is crucial in this round, after all, the soup is fresh, and the rest of the flavor is just an adjunct, or a surprise.
Especially in the case that the topic of the ingredients has been set to be crabs, instead of choosing the lake hairy crab with the strongest umami, the stream crab with a much smaller size and much lighter umami is used, which makes Jiuzheng Luyuan and Xiong Yuan of the Northern Dynasty very puzzled.
'Is there a trick?' Or is it too contemptuous of the opponent? ’
Xiong Yuan of the Northern Dynasty swept over Zhao Youqian, who kept his hands and feet, and his eyes fell on the young man on the other side who belonged to the young man named Qingshan Aoji.
"Hmph, without the flavorful hairy crab as the main product, you have no chance of winning even if you are surprised!" ’
I saw that Aoyama Iji's hands and feet were non-stop, although now is not the fattest time for hairy crabs, but IGO has also acquired the best quality hairy crabs at this time.
To be able to get the achievement of a three-star chef, Aoyama Aoji's hands and feet are naturally not slow.
One by one, the hairy crabs were dismantled and cleaned, and only a wooden stick was used, and the kind of technique that had been tempered for thousands of times had obviously been exercised many times.
A silent smile was revealed.
Xiong Yuan of the Northern Generations looked at the fact that Aoyama had completed all the processing work, and showed a smile of calculation.
'It's time to get started! ’
Originating from the dark culinary world of Yaozhou, the improved version of hibiscus crab soup is about to be born!
With a 'bang' explosion, the stove was ignited, and Zhao Youqian, who was already completely immersed in the dishes, did not notice that the opponent's expression on the opposite side seemed to have changed.
Extremely fast hand speed, combined with gorgeous stir-frying, all the dismantled crab shells were quickly dyed with a layer of orange red, cooked into cooking wine, ginger slices.
That kind of craftsmanship seems to have been tempered with decades of skills, and under the steaming flame, the delicious taste of hairy crabs has poured into the noses of the judges.
Before the judges could show their expressions of appreciation, with the sound of the stir-fry spoon colliding, a deep voice sounded!
"I'm done!!"
The three judges all showed strange looks, but Aoyama did not hesitate, and a plate of soup with a faint crystal brilliance was served to the table.
"Hibiscus crab soup!"
"Taste it to the three judges!"
