Chapter Ninety-Five: The Last Battle of the Halberd (3)
The duration is three hours, when the sun is at its highest at noon, the dishes are presented on time, the topic is not limited, the content is not limited, as long as the dishes made on the spot can be anything. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is the rule of this halberd competition, and it can be said that there are no requirements other than time, but in a way, it is also the most difficult competition, because each player will come up with their strongest dish.
After the gunshots rang out, Kojiro Shinomiya was the first to rush out, he had obviously already thought about what he was going to do, first quickly came to the bottom of the audience, grabbed a large rooster with bright red combs, snow-white feathers, and steel-blue paws from a livestock cage, and then quickly came to the plant area, found a small grass with pale yellow stamens from it, and then selected some fresh vegetables and returned to the cooking table, and began his cooking work.
"Oooh! The Four Houses contestant chose the Grace Chicken, which is a breed of chicken produced in the Brese region of eastern France, but is known as the national chicken of France, and is also the first and only chicken to obtain the AOC designation, it is known for its smooth meat, soft and juicy, it seems that the contest is going to use the French cuisine he is good at to compete for the winner! It's just that I don't seem to know much about the kind of vanilla he picked, so let's ask a few of our judges! ”
The long cooking time naturally makes it impossible for everyone to sit dry, so the beautiful host began to introduce the ingredients selected by the contestants little by little, and speculated on the dishes that the contestants will come up with next, which is basically the routine of a large-scale cooking competition.
And the host in front of him obviously put a lot of effort into this competition, and began the relevant introduction at the same time as Kojiro selected Bresie chicken, which attracted the attention of many audiences, and she is also very eye-catching, although she doesn't know what the kind of vanilla selected by Shinomiya is, but from the other party's cautious attitude, she knows that this material is different from ordinary ingredients.
"It's French Tahitian vanilla! This is a herb abundant in the French islands of Tahiti, which has the best quality, the most intense aroma and the rarest production of the three major herb producing regions of Madagascar, Reunion and Tahiti. Lawrence, who often attends various food review events, is obviously familiar with this routine, and after the host made a move, he naturally took over the topic, but when introducing the herbs selected by the four palaces, he looked a little confused in his eyes, "It's just that the freshly harvested vanilla has no fragrance, and it must go through procedures such as finishing, fermentation, drying, and aging to stimulate its rich aroma, and the whole process generally takes half a year." We have provided the vanilla ingredients that have been aged in the ingredients, and I don't know why the chef of the four palaces chooses untreated raw materials, compared to him, he has his own considerations! ”
Although he was a little confused in his heart, Lawrence didn't say much, to be able to get to today's stage, Kojiro Shinomiya didn't rely on their help, he came alone, and he would never make such a low-level mistake compared to the other party.
Nodding, the host is not stupid to ask Sinomiya what he plans to do now, the surprise is naturally left to the end to be interesting, and after Sinomiya, the other players also started to act.
I saw Xinghei Joichiro scratching his head, and then Jiao Erlang walked to the livestock breeding area, pointed to a pig covered in sheep's skin, and said to the service staff: "Come, help me slaughter this Hungarian wool pig, as long as it has front and rear leg meat, it's really lucky, I have long wanted to use this wool pig to make a dish, I didn't expect to meet it here, sure enough, it is a wise choice to participate in this halberd competition, and who else, get me two Parma hams, that thing is so expensive to death, I can't really get my hands on this kind of game! And ······"
Looking at Kohei Joichiro, who commanded a group of service staff to select a large number of meat products, everyone on the judges' bench looked at each other, you must know that as a general dish, there are usually only one or two main ingredients, and if there are more, they will affect each other, resulting in the taste of the ingredients cannot be played, how can there be a lot of meaty ingredients like Joichiro in one go, this guy should not want to come because he saw so many graded ingredients at once!
"Well, Chef Kohei's dishes have always been imaginative, so he has any new ideas compared to this time!"
Chetin Türk smiled awkwardly, trying to explain to Kohei Joichiro, although he said that in terms of the result, he wanted to support the four palaces that had reached an agreement, but in terms of dishes, he actually wanted Joichiro to win, no way, because the few people present Abbe was obviously from Chinese cuisine, and the four palaces were from French cuisine, while Erina was from both Japanese and French cuisine, none of them were Turkish cuisine, and Joichiro, a player involved in multinational cuisine, was involved in the Turkish cuisine where Chetintilk was located. Naturally, he hoped that Joichiro would come up with good Turkish food to justify their cuisine.
Of course, Cetin Türk itself actually did not have much expectation for this idea, this time there were no authentic Turkish cuisine contestants, not that this cuisine is not good, but Turkish cuisine is miscellaneous, the style is not unified, and more attention is paid to the use of spices than the appearance, that is, more attention is paid to the taste, which leads to the choice of Turkish cuisine in the official competition is quite a loss, no way, are all top chefs, in the case of similar taste, color, meaning, and shape are naturally French, Chinese dishes are a little more popular.
And just when Chetintilk was secretly melancholy, Abbe also began to choose her own ingredients, only to see that she first came to the plant area, picked among the pile of mushrooms, and finally took out a small pile of black mushrooms, and then selected a black bone chicken in the livestock area and happily returned to the cooking table.
Judges, look at me, I'll look at you, I can't guess Abbe's idea for a while, the pile of black mushrooms is truffles, as top gourmets, they naturally know each other, but the combination of mushrooms and chicken is a little incomprehensible, because normally this should be-
"Mo Wen, this Abbe player doesn't want to make chicken stewed mushrooms, right?"
Sitting next to Mo Wen, An Yilun also stroked his glasses, and then asked casually. As a Japanese, he still has a certain understanding of Chinese food, and he also knows a little about this home-cooked dish in Northeast China.
"Well, it's possible!"
Mo Wen tilted his head and thought about it, and then had to nod, he hadn't asked Abbe what to cook before, but with her statement that the food was something that brought happiness to people, it was really possible for her to make a home-cooked meal in this kind of competition.
But anyway, Mo Wen doesn't care much about the results of the game, and usually Abbe eats a lot of food, so it's better to go with her.
Everyone giggled and lifted the topic, and then turned their attention to the last contestant, Erina.
Compared to the first three contestants, Erina was a little hesitant in choosing ingredients, and after biting her lip and thinking for a long time, she asked people to fish out a slender big fish in the seafood area, and then got busy in the seasoning area of the venue.
"Bluefin tuna, bassamik vinegar, is this to make sashimi? Quite a wise choice! ”
The sharp-eyed Lawrence looked at the material Erina had chosen, revealing a rather subtle expression, a look of admiration and regret, and the expression of Nagi Senzaemon, who was sitting next to him, was also a little tangled, because Erina's choice was the wisest and least expected.
After the first three contestants chose to make dishes such as chicken and pork, Erina's choice of seafood sashimi will undoubtedly give her a certain taste advantage, after all, everyone will want to change the taste after eating too much fish and meat, and Erina herself is good at Japanese cuisine, so she has a lot of advantages in this regard.
Sashimi is sashimi after all, and no amount of delicious sauce can make up for its lack of variation, after all, the taste of sashimi will not change compared to stewing and grilling, even if Erina chooses the best bluefin tuna.
It can be said that in this most important halberd eating competition, Erina chose the most correct but also the most useless approach, and her performance was much more boring than the whimsical practices of the previous ones.
