Chapter 249: Victory or Defeat
Nagashima Akihisa looked at Gao Dian and said with a smile: "Gao Jun, I have finally competed in the same group again, and I have been looking forward to this for a long time." β
Gao Dian said, "Really? Maybe the results will disappoint you, though. β
Nagashima Akihisa was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Gao Dian knew his intentions.
Immediately, his smile became even brighter, "Haha, Gao Jun said and laughed." β
"I'm serious, and while the game hasn't started yet, I advise you to give up early." Gao Dian said with a serious look on his face.
Nagashima Akihisa's eyes narrowed, the smile on his face gradually retracted, and said: "Gao Jun doesn't need to persuade me, I won't give up, after all, I finally found the opportunity." β
"Whatever you want, I've already persuaded you anyway, and if it fails, don't blame me." Gao Dian shrugged his shoulders and said.
"I definitely won't blame Gao Jun, after all, I won't fail." Akihisa Nagashima said.
The game between the two has not yet begun, but the tension between the two is already tense, and the atmosphere is tense to the extreme.
Outsiders can't hear the voices of the two talking, but judging from the performance of the two, they can feel the tension between the two.
The first two semi-finals were somewhat bland, and it didn't feel like the semi-finals should be, but the semi-finals of the third group had a little bit of meaning.
With the completion of the previous preparations, the host began the competition.
Immediately, the two began to move.
Gao Dian still chose to make knife-cut noodles, but this time, he did it differently than the previous two times.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the rest area, Wei Qiaoyi frowned and said, "Why is the soup in Gaodian different from the previous one?" β
Lan Yuan was a little puzzled and said, "What's the difference?" β
Wei Qiaoyi explained: "Before, the soup base that Gao Dian made with knife-cut noodles was a single meat, with some accessories, but this time, he took more than one kind of meat, and there were also mushrooms. β
What is the best ingredient for soup?
Most people will answer that it is meat!
But in fact, there is another ingredient, which is not meat, but it is also suitable for soup. This ingredient is mushrooms!
In Yunnan Province in southwest China, there is a habit of drinking mushroom soup, and the locals usually put several kinds of mushrooms together to boil it, so that they can boil a pot of delicious mushroom soup.
Of course, it is dangerous to eat this mushroom soup, some mushrooms are poisonous, and some people will not be able to distinguish between them, and after eating the poisonous mushrooms, they will hallucinate to see the villain.
This is light, and the heavy ones don't have a chance to see the villain.
There are not a few people who are poisoned by eating poisonous mushrooms, but delicious mushrooms are still people's tireless pursuit.
What Gao Dian wants to do is obviously not pure mushroom soup, but a combination of meat and mushrooms.
This way of boiling soup is very common in life.
Gao Dian added more than a dozen ingredients to make the soup.
The proportions of each ingredient are different, and even the order in which they are put down is also different.
After Lan Yuan heard Wei Qiaoyi's words, he was a little silent. With such an understanding, it seems that Gao Dian has been staring at it all the time during the game.
Put it down? Where is it so easy to let go?
Although I have made up my mind, it will take some time to really let go.
"Why did he suddenly change the way he boiled the soup?" Qiu Weijun wondered.
"I don't know." Wei Qiaoyi shook his head.
Nagashima Akihisa didn't have time to pay attention to Gao Dian, his attention at the moment was all focused on the flour in his hand.
What he wants to do is also noodles!
The last time he was in the same group as Takanori, he did dorayaki, but dorayaki wasn't what he was best at.
Akihisa Nagashima is best at ramen!
The ramen of the Sun Country is also a national-level food, and it is loved by the general public.
In Sun Country, there are four schools of ramen, which are Yokohama ramen, Hakata ramen, Sapporo ramen, and Kitakata ramen.
Among them, Yokohama ramen is the most famous, and at the same time, Yokohama ramen is the closest to the taste of China.
In comparison, the other three types of ramen are a little less famous.
What Akihisa Nagashima is good at is Yokohama-style ramen!
When it comes to Japanese ramen, the first thing that comes to many people's minds is tonkotsu ramen!
The soup stock is the soul of Japanese ramen, and whether it tastes good or not depends on the soup stock.
Akihisa Nagashima has some exclusive recipes for the soup, and he, like Takanori, boils the soup first.
Pork bones are actually pork bones, but the names are different depending on the place.
Of course, they are all pork bones, and they are also different.
The geographical location of the Sun Country and the Chinese Kingdom is different, and the flavors of the pigs grown are also different.
In addition, when the Japanese tonkotsu broth is boiled, a variety of condiments are added, and these condiments are also different from those of Huaguo.
Therefore, the taste of the pork bone soup between the two sides is very different.
The same ingredient makes completely different flavors, and that's the wonder of food.
There is another essential thing in Japanese tonkotsu ramen, and that is barbecued pork!
The so-called barbecued pork is rolled up with peeled pork belly, tied with cotton thread, fried in a pan, and then stewed with water, soy sauce, mirin and other seasonings.
After the cooking is flavored and cooled, the cotton thread is untied and then cut into slices with a knife, which is the barbecued pork.
Akihisa Nagashima makes barbecued pork and also has an exclusive secret recipe.
When he stews the barbecued pork, he also adds some other spices to make the barbecued pork even more delicious.
The soup and barbecued pork were slowly boiling on one side, and then he began to make ramen.
The other side.
Gao Dian was waiting to wake up.
This time, he spent a little more time on the soup, otherwise he would have already gotten to the stage of slicing noodles by now.
Ramen noodles need to be closely coordinated with the heart, the hands should be steady, the force should be even, and the heart should be calm.
This will allow you to pull out even noodles without breaking halfway through.
The technique of ramen originated in Huaguo and was introduced to the Sun Country later.
With the process of localization, the ramen technology of the Sun Country has become somewhat different from the ramen technology of the Chinese country.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"This Nagashima Akihisa is very professional!" Qiu Weijun said.
The rest of the people nodded in approval, they are all first-class pastry chefs, although they are good at different aspects, but they still have eyesight.
It can be seen from Akihisa Nagashima's movements that his technique is good.
As for the taste, they did not taste it, so they did not know.
But with this hand-pulled noodle technique, everyone realized that Akihisa Nagashima was a fierce rival!
Wei Qiaoyi looked at it without saying a word, she had tasted the ramen made by Akihisa Nagashima.
It tastes good.
Wei Qiaoyi was better than Nagashima Akihisa at the beginning, and at that time, Nagashima Akihisa also made tonkotsu ramen.
This time on the competition field, Akihisa Nagashima still made tonkotsu ramen, which is probably intentional by Akihisa Nagashima.
And this time it was not himself, it was Gao Dian.
"Can you win?" Wei Qiaoyi said softly.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"! Lou Xiangpeng, why are you using so much force to catch me? Wang Zhong said with a dark face.
Lou Xiangpeng turned his head and said a little embarrassed: "I'm a little nervous, I'm sorry." β
Wang Zhong's face did not ease in the slightest, but became darker and darker.
"Before you say you're sorry, can you let me go?"
When Lou Xiangpeng heard this, as if he had been electrocuted, he let go of his hand.
"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention." Lou Xiangpeng said.
Wang Zhong snorted, ignored Lou Xiangpeng, and continued to watch the game.
After a while, Wang Zhong suddenly felt a pain in his thigh.
He turned his head suddenly, stared at Lou Xiangpeng and said, "Lou Xiangpeng!" Why are you hitting me? β
"Huh? Did I hit you? I thought I was beating myself, I'm sorry. Lou Xiangpeng said.
Wang Zhong stared at Lou Xiangpeng tightly, and after a while, he turned his head away and didn't say anything.
After another while, Wang Zhong felt a pain in his thigh again.
He turned his head to look at Lou Xiangpeng expressionlessly and said, "You did it on purpose!" β
Lou Xiangpeng said blankly: "What did you say?" Why can't I understand? β
"You just did it on purpose, you weren't careless at all! You did it on purpose, and you took the opportunity to take revenge on me. Wang Zhong said with an affirmative face.
"How is that possible! How could I go out of my way to take revenge on you? There's no reason for that. Lou Xiangpeng said.
"Nope! You have! You're jealous that I can type faster than you! Wang Zhong said.
Lou Xiangpeng said expressionlessly: "No." β
"Yes! You can't rob me of answering netizens' questions! You're jealous! Wang Zhong said.
"I didn't!" Lou Xiangpeng's expression gradually became hideous.
looked at the two of them, and the three people next to them looked like I didn't know.
"Why are these two so naΓ―ve?" Zhou Yongqing asked.
"How do I know?" Feng Zhigang said.
He couldn't figure out what was going on with these two people, and they both liked to go to the live broadcast room to comment.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At this time, the matches between Takanori and Akihisa Nagashima had already come to an end.
Takanori cut the noodles and boiled them in the pot, while Akihisa Nagashima also pulled the noodles out and waited for them to be cooked.
After a while, Takanori's noodles were cooked, and he made them first, while Akihisa Nagashima hadn't done them yet.
Start the grading session.
"This time, the knife-cut noodles seem to be different from the previous two times, this soup is brown in color, and the taste is much thicker and more complex."
"Indeed, this player is really able to surprise people, three times to cut the face, three times are different."
"I'm still nostalgic for the spicy knife-cut noodles."
β¦β¦
Immediately after, they began to taste.
Needless to say, the noodles taste the same as the previous two times.
It's just this soup that made the judges exclaim one by one.
"The soup tasted so good, I was able to taste pork knuckle, ham, chicken, duck...... There is also the taste of various mushrooms. There are many ingredients, but each ingredient does not conflict with each other, but coexists in harmony, and each ingredient complements each other deliciously, and the taste is superior to that of a single ingredient. β
"Indeed, the flavor is very rich, layer upon layer, each layer is different, but it is related to each other."
"Oh~ I take back my words, I still like this more than spicy."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The judges exclaimed, and they were enjoying themselves.
After a while, the judges began to give scores.
After removing the lowest and highest scores, Gao Dian's final score came out.
Divide!
At this time, Akihisa Nagashima had just finished his ramen, and when he saw Takanori's score, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
That's a bit high!
He finally started to worry, he was confident at first, he believed he could win.
But after Gao Dian got this score, he was a little unconfident, could he really win?
Soon, he suppressed the complicated thoughts in his mind and stopped thinking about those things.
Whether you can win or not will not be known until you have competed.
He finishes every bowl of ramen to make sure that each bowl is full of flavor and taste.
Subsequently, with the help of the staff, the ramen was delivered to the judges.
"Tonkotsu ramen, this is my favorite, I haven't eaten it for a long time, and I miss it a little."
"Can this tonkotsu ramen surpass the knife noodles in front of it?"
"Oh! Oh, my God! What's going on today, two bowls of noodles in a row, my poor stomach. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The tasting begins.
"Huh? This noodle is very firm and smooth, and every time you chew it, it feels like you have broken a rubber band, and you actually have a feeling of springing teeth. β
"The taste of the soup base is completely different from the knife-cut noodles I ate before, and the pork bones are added with various condiments, which is mellow and refreshing."
"This barbecued pork is also a must, with a rich soy sauce flavor and a sweet, salty and fresh taste, and it is very delicious when eaten with soup base noodles."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The judges began to give their scores.
Everyone was a little nervous, this was the moment to decide the outcome of the game, and every time at this time, everyone was extremely nervous.
"Remove the lowest score, remove the highest score, and the final score is ......," the host said, deliberately leaving a cliffhanger.
He looked around and saw that the atmosphere was almost there, so he said, "97.5 points!" β
The crowd was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into cheers.
Akihisa Nagashima and the cheers around him seemed to be in two worlds, and he silently watched the cheers in front of him, which had nothing to do with him.
He lost!
Losing by a margin of 0.25 points, at this moment, Akihisa Nagashima seemed to be plunged into darkness, and the confidence he had built up collapsed at this moment.
When Gao Dian heard this score, his heart fell into great joy, he won!
He's in the finals!
In the rest area of Huaguo, the contestants stood up one after another, clapping their hands and cheering.
Their Chinese players entered the finals, and they were honored!
Wei Qiaoyi was also clapping, she was smiling, she was not happy that Gao Dian was in the finals, but happy that Gao Dian was better than Akihisa Nagashima.
in the audience.
Lou Xiangpeng and the others were also cheering, especially Lou Xiangpeng, whose face was already red.
Their friend made it to the finals!
It's so incredible, they were playing together a few days ago, and now Gao Dian is able to stand on the final stage on the international stage.
Thinking like this, Zhou Yongqing and Feng Zhigang suddenly felt a little sad, yes, Gao Dian was competing with them on the same stage a few days ago, and now everyone is standing on the international stage, and they ......
For a while, a certain decision in the hearts of the two became more and more firm.
In the live broadcast room, there was also a burst of cheers.
The screen is full of "Huaguo is awesome!" β
For Gao Dian, there is not a single negative comment in the live broadcast room at the moment, and even if one pops up, he will be scolded to autism immediately.
The situation seems to have been reversed.
Gao Dian looked at Akihisa Nagashima, who was lost in front of him, and didn't say anything, leaving the arena straight away and returning to the rest area.
