Chapter 518: The Mysterious Ingredient of Red Fire
An hour later, the judges were back in the judges' box, and in the audience, Chihuo easily found the fancy spot that didn't fit in with the rest of the surrounding area.
The companions of Polestar Liao also designed a unique cheering banner for Chihuo, as well as encouragement horns, applause devices and the like...... If it weren't for the fact that there were also players in the race, they would probably have been kicked out of the field!
"Here will be the final one to decide the place in the semi-finals! First up was the fourth place finisher in Group B in the preliminaries, 'Trailblazer of the Taste Horizon' Takmi Aldini! ”
In the midst of Rei Kawashima's announcement, the blonde Takmi walked to the cooking table on the side of the arena with a smile that Chihuo evaluated as "shameless......
Takmi has always been popular among girls because of her appearance, and although her results in the main competition are not high, she won the cheers of the obvious majority of women as soon as she appeared!
"And his opponent won an unprecedented perfect score in Group A of the qualifiers!" King's Landings of the Food Empire's Red Fire! ”
That's right, some good people also have nicknames for Chihuo, and everyone's nicknames are also published in the school magazine, so they are widely spread......
"Food Empire" naturally refers to the origin of Chihuo, and it is appropriate to call it the birthplace of "Chinese cuisine", one of the world's three major cuisines.
King's Landing, this naturally refers to the fact that when Chihuo set off a gust of taste in the preliminaries, all the achievements, efforts, and even the self-confidence of many players were all crushed!
When Chihuo appeared this time, the cheers were no weaker than Takmi's, and most of them could be heard as boys...... Oh, and the most outstanding one, of course, is the group of relatives and friends from Pole Star Liao!
Needless to say, half of the cheers of the others were due to the strength shown by Chihuo in the preliminaries, and the other half was due to the fact that there were too many girls cheering for Takmi before, which naturally caused a backlash from the boys!
"The main round of the autumn selection competition, the fourth game of eight into four, the title is 'dessert', and the time is three hours! Let's go! ”
With the word "start", Red Fire and Takmi moved the ingredients they had prepared from the trolley at the same time.
You can see the ingredients of the takmi, mainly cake flour, eggs, cream, sugar, lemon and lemon olive oil, as well as almonds and hazelnuts.
When Chihuo saw that Takmi directly put "lemon olive oil" on the cooking table, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and secretly said that Takmi really had improved.
In the original plot, Takmi should have been driven into a desperate situation by Misaku before he thought of using "lemon olive oil" to make lemon curd.
It seems that because the red fire has affected the plot, everyone has improved.
And what the judges paid more attention to was naturally the five judges who were preliminaries, who gave full marks to Chihuo.
I saw that the ingredients placed on the cooking table were mainly various nuts, as well as chocolate, coconut, banana, tomato, and toast...... And sweet potato flour and peanut butter?
There is also a very conspicuous, red-hot cooking table, and a large piece of equipment, which is the centrifuge used by Alice Nagiri!
"Judging by the Blonde Kid's ingredients and his hometown in Italy, I can guess that he should be making snow cakes or something, but ...... The ingredients of the red fire are confusing. Maba Love muttered.
"It's moon cakes." Nagi Senzaemon said.
"Huh? How does the commander-in-chief see it? Baba Rove wondered.
"I just heard him mention it yesterday." Nagi Senzaemon did not shy away from this.
"By the way, that's it...... It seems that I did hear that the commander-in-chief had dinner with this kid yesterday. How? Did you decide who your grandson would be for? Is it Erina or Alice? "Baba Love looks like gossip.
"He's still far away, and Erina and Nagi Alice are still young, so they don't have to think about that." Nagi Senzaemon coped.
While the judges were whispering gossip, both of them were busy with their desserts, while Takmi put the cake base in the oven, and on the Red Fire side, the walnuts had been peeled off, the peaches were fried and ground into powder, and three or four kinds of sugar paste were mixed into another mysterious ingredient prepared in advance......
It is worth noting that the processing speed of Chihuo is no longer in the category of "skilled pastry chef", and in the same time, the workload of Takmi has been completed several times!
Of course, it's also worth noting that the red fire peels walnuts completely by hand......
Seeing this, Anxi Guangyi was puzzled: "If you are going to make moon cakes, then you should be making five-kernel moon cakes?" But what are those chocolates, coconut water, bananas and the like going to do? And what kind of mooncake crust did he decide to make? Take puff pastry, sugar crust? It doesn't look like it in terms of raw materials......"
When Takmi had finished the lemon curd and spread it on the bottom layer of the cake, and the top kernel part was almost ready, the pigment part of the tomato that had been separated by the red fire with a centrifuge was mixed with the peach kernel powder to create a red paste......
The walnuts are evenly coated with a layer of melted and re-solidified chocolate truffles......
The banana slices have been baked to the point of being completely "air-dried", after which they are also smashed......
The coconut meat is shredded and mixed with the almonds......
The sesame seeds are mashed, the skin is washed with water, and then fried, and the boiled sugar is mixed with the glue syrup......
"Huh? Is what Red Fire is making really 'one' of a kind of dessert? ”
"But the action is really fast, most of the time, both hands are doing different processes, and there is no time to wait during the period, the most rare thing is that each processing step is not disordered!"
"Takmi is also good, and the snow cake is a famous dessert in Italy, after all, dessert has much less to do with other dishes, and if you are good at other dishes, you may not be able to make a good dessert...... It doesn't seem surprising if there is a real upset here. ”
"No, in the world of cooks, there are only the capable and the loser, and there is no such thing as an upset." Nagi Senzaemon said, but he is still optimistic about the red fire!
Although it has a small connection with desserts and other dishes, it has something in common with pastry!
Until now, the red fire has not been shown, and it is said that it is the best pastry cuisine, and Nagi Senzaemon is silently looking forward to it.
As if in response to this expectation, Chihuo finally used sweet potato flour!
I saw that after Chihuo mixed sweet potato flour with mysterious ingredients, added water and made something similar to dough, and then took out two rolling pins, held one in each hand, and then moved this special dough to make it longer and thinner little by little......
Although, it doesn't look as gorgeous as the noodles of the last time I made the Pleiades halberd, but only those who are experts can understand the doorway!
"Just now...... It looks a bit like flour with at least the same amount of sweet potato flour in it, right? I'm not mistaken, am I? Anzai Mitsuyoshi said solemnly.
"No, I remember that, too, but it shouldn't be flour!" Baba Love also had a strange expression.
"Huh? So what? Saitama wondered.
Saitama and Ryuji are representatives of the partners, although they have rich tasting experience, but they can only distinguish between good and bad, and let them tell the texture of the ingredients, the advantages and disadvantages of the taste, they are good, but in terms of actual cooking theory and steps, they are not good at all!
"When sweet potato flour is added, the stickiness of the dough decreases. So, plus it's a bit different from flour, so it's never flour. Baba Love said.
Nagi Senzaemon's eyes lit up and said, "That's right, if you look at his movements carefully, it looks rough, but in fact it is full of softness and delicate feelings!" It's like dancing...... Combined with the dishes he had made before, perhaps the mysterious ingredient would be—"
