Li Xiang mobilized his "eagle eyes" to stare at the color of a few young roosters on the stove.

When the skin of the chicken gradually changed to an attractive yellow-brown color, Li Xiang decisively took out the chicken, put it on a plate and decorated it, and finished the work in one go.

Compared to the colorful plates of Eizan Ezuya, Li Xiang's dishes are extremely simple and direct. A roast chicken dyed yellow-brown with smoke and brine and a rich aroma.

"It's ...... Grilled chicken? ”

Judge Komatsu hesitated for a moment and speculated tentatively.

"This is a tea-flavored chicken originating from the Jiangnan region of Huaguo, please taste it."

"You can really smell the aroma of the tea leaves." Keiko Sakata picked up a knife and fork, divided the chicken, and cut off a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth.

"The smell of this chicken is unstoppable!" Keiko Sakata's eyes widened, and she poured the chicken into her mouth one bite after another.

The three judges turned into beasts of appetite at the same time, and ate all the chicken that Li Xiang served.

"What?"

Rui Shan was inexplicably surprised, for Li Xiang's dishes, the judges' performance when tasting them was better than their own dishes just now, but how was this possible? Using a blowtorch to cauterize the chicken, the surface of the chicken will definitely have potholes and burnt, and the heat of the chicken will be difficult to control under uneven heating, which is a big no-no for barbecue.

"Senior, this is for you."

Li Xiang smiled and brought the extra one to Ruishan Ezuya.

According to the consistent routine of the spirit of the halberd, it is still necessary to let the enemy taste his own dishes and obtain the recognition of the opponent, which is the correct way to open the halberd.

"It's not scorched at all, how is this possible, this is a thousand degrees of blowtorch flame burning."

The tea-flavored chicken served by Li Xiang is completely yellow-brown on the surface, not to mention the burnt black spots, and even the color on the surface is completely uniform, which is one of the manifestations of the perfect flavor of the smoking step.

"Senior, you may take it for granted, although you use a blowtorch, but who says that a rough operation can't get a perfect result?"

Li Xiang smiled with great confidence.

In terms of control of flames, he has reached the pinnacle of being able to directly control flames.

Watanabe, who used to be a chef, touched his chin:

Emiya's magical flame control ability is completely different from the idea of using residual heat to heat the chicken in order to preserve the tender taste of the chicken, and Emiya uses a fierce fire to bombard the chicken indiscriminately to cook the chicken completely. At the same time, the use of spices gives the chicken a more earthly flavor of deliciousness. ”

Komatsu nodded: "Under long-term heating, each fiber of the chicken fully absorbs the umami of the soup, and the flavor components of spices including shiitake mushrooms, green onions, ginger juice, rice wine, fennel, etc. first enter the soup, and then enter the chicken with the soup." ”

"But what is even more rare is that although the chicken has become fluffy after such a long period of heating, it has not become as loose and woody as the chicken used in the chicken soup. There is even a little tenderness, how do you do that? ”

Li Xiang took out a casserole from the cart. When the lid is lifted, the contents of the casserole are exposed.

"The casserole was carefully chosen to fit a young rooster, and at the bottom of the casserole was a hollowed-out metal stand. During the heated heat, the chicken was initially submerged in water and cooked through. As the heating time increases, the water is gradually evaporated, the water surface in the country gradually decreases, and the chicken is separated from the water by a metal bracket, and the chicken is equivalent to changing from 'boiling' to 'steaming' and 'baking'. ”

"After the water is completely evaporated, due to the loss of water, the temperature in the pot is no longer maintained at the boiling point of the water at 100 degrees Celsius, and the temperature rises further, while the moisture inside the chicken is gradually steamed out, and the taste of the chicken is concentrated with the evaporation of water, and the taste of the chicken is also changed with the reduction of moisture, and the texture of the chicken becomes loose."

"Finally, the surface of the Satsuma soil ** meat is brushed with a marinade made of star anise, kaempfer, Sichuan pepper, dashi stock and a little soy sauce, and it is smoked on the stove."

Hearing this, Keiko Sakaguchi asked with interest, "What did you put in the fuel for the last step of smoking?" ”

Li Xiang shook his head, pointed to the stove he had just used, and explained:

"It's smoked, but I don't simply add spices to the fuel in the oven to prevent the smoke from the coal from polluting the flavor of the chicken. Instead, some improvements were made. ”

Li Xiang opened his furnace, and the inside of the furnace was divided into two parts, the lower part was a heating layer for burning coal, and the upper part of the heating layer was separated by a metal interlayer, and some particles that had been burned to a gray-black color were placed inside.

try{mad1('gad2'); } catch(ex){}"The flue gas produced by the heating of the coal is isolated by a sandwich, and the upper layer is filled with the top number of Longjing tea leaves and peanut shells. The heat is conducted through the metal to the smoke, and at hundreds of degrees Celsius, the tea leaves and peanut shells are scorched to produce a rich and tangy smoke, and these aromas enter the inside of the chicken, giving the chicken a rich tea aroma. That's why this dish is called 'Tea Chicken'. ”

"In other words, did you make the chicken 'boiled', 'steamed', 'baked', and 'smoked' to make the chicken rouju have such a rich and deep flavor?"

Komatsu's words were full of incredulity.

"No, it's not just that." Ezuyama also pushed his glasses that had slipped off because he was eating with his head down. Zhengse said: "When you heat it in the casserole, you also fill the inside of the chicken with spices. The spice flavor of the chicken is from the inside out, and the flavor of smoke and marinade is from the outside to the inside. As a result, the flavor of the meat can be more layered. ”

The focus of the first seat of the Ten Masters who watched the game was on the other hand.

"Gentian, look at a detail on the big screen. The chicken cooked by Emiya is almost completely white in color, and even the surface of the bones, which is difficult to handle, has hardly any red blood. Ordinary bloodletting would never be so clean and thorough, so what tricks did he use? ”

Gentian hugged his hands on the back of his head, and said solemnly: "Didn't he always massage the chicken's body with his hands when he bled before?" It's a bit similar to the massage technique of traditional Chinese medicine, maybe the mystery is in this, right? ”

"Really? There is still such a trick? Well, I don't know if Emiya's junior will teach me? ”

Si Yingshi lowered his head and thought about the chips he could take out to exchange with Li Xiang.

As the well-deserved first seat in the Far Moon School Park at present, Si Yingshi still maintains the greed of a chef.

The way of the chef is the way of gluttony, and the strict competition mechanism of Yuanyue makes every student in Yuanyue maintain their strong enterprising spirit in cooking.

"Okay, now, all three of us judges should have made their own judgments. Next, I would like to ask the three judges to hold up their cards to support the ...... they think are better."

"No need."

The host of the halberd, who does not have a high sense of presence, controlled the time, but before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Ruishan Zhizu.

"I thought I valued you enough, but I didn't expect to underestimate you, Emiya."

Ruishan glanced at Li Xiang deeply, put down his chopsticks, and raised his right hand, "This time the judges don't have to vote, I admit defeat." ”

After he actually tasted Li Xiang's dishes, he knew that it was impossible for him to win.

This feeling does not only come from the dishes, but when he tastes Li Xiang's food, an emotion that comes from his heart crushes his self-confidence.

Although the heart of the kitchen cannot directly determine the victory of the halberd, at the same level of cooking, the presence and absence of the heart of the kitchen will make the diners get a completely different taste experience.

Although Ruishan didn't know the existence of this realm, he could still feel that the other party was ahead of him in cooking.

Li Xiang and Eizan Etsuya's halberd ended with the surrender of Eizan Ezuya, and under the witness of countless spectators, Li Xiang, or Emiya, successfully ascended to the throne of the ninth seat of the Ten Masters of the Distant Moon.

Later people recalled the life of the legendary chef Emiya, and it was believed that in this halberd, he showed his unique cooking skills for the first time in the public eye.

"Congratulations, from now on, you are the Ten Masters of the Far Moon on an equal footing with me."

Walking out of the venue, Nagikiri's car was already waiting outside. Inside the car, unsurprisingly sat Erina Nagikiri.

"Erina, what's there to congratulate you on this, hasn't you tried this dish many times before it was formed? If I can't defeat the 'Alchemist' in this way, I will lose not only my face, but also your face, Miss Erina. ”

"Alright, come on. In the far moon, the authority of the halberd is absolute. From now on, you are the ninth seat of the new Ten Masters of the Far Moon. There's still a lot of work to be done in the fall auditions. Now that you have defeated Eizan and obtained his seat, then you will have to inherit his responsibilities as well. Moreover, those senior ten seniors also want to meet you. ”

Erina Nagikiri moved a little to the other side of the seat to make room for Li Xiang.

Li wanted to get into the car, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the vehicle sped away in the direction of the Ten Masters Council.

Yuanyue School Park today,In addition to the halberd between Li Xiang and Ruishan Zhizuya,For all the first-year freshmen of Yuanyue Academy,There is another more important thing,That is, the list of personnel selected in the autumn of Yuanyue is announced。

try{mad1('gad2'); This large-scale cooking competition is like a physics competition and chemistry competition for high school students in China, in which they can achieve good rankings and add luster to their chef career. Compared with watching the excitement of the Ten Masterpieces, it is closer to its own vital interests.

Based on the performance of the previous semester, 60 first-year students were selected to participate in the competition. Through repeated selections and strong confrontations,Finally determine the strongest culinary among the first-year freshmen of Yuanyue School Park。 The ranking of students in the autumn selection is also one of the bases for the evaluation of the new ten outstanding students after graduation.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Xiang attended the meeting of the Ten Masters as the ninth seat of the new Ten Masters.

"So, that's probably it, the topic of the preliminary round of today's Yuanyue autumn selection - curry, has been agreed by more than half of the members of the meeting, and the next thing we need to do is to hold the event smoothly. The school's wholesale funding is the same as in previous years, and it is quite abundant. I also hope that you will do your job well. ”

Although the first seat of the Ten Masters is a little weak, his ability is indeed good. Matters large and small are well organized.

After arranging jobs for everyone except Li Xiang, Si Yingshi finally looked at Li Xiang.

"Senior Brother Emiya, you have just joined us now, and there are some things you may not know very well, but the Ruishan-kun you replaced was originally responsible for external liaison and business cooperation of large and small activities. Now that he's gone, we're a little strained, so we can't give you any easier work. These days, you and Issehui are in charge of outreach together, and if you have any questions, you can find Issuk. ”

The second-year student, Ishshiki Hui, a member of Polestar Liao, smiled kindly at Li Xiang.

"So, in order to prepare for the autumn selection, we still need to complete a lot of work at school during the summer vacation. Please don't forget. Meeting! ”

The meeting was over, and it was already afternoon. For those first-year students who weren't selected, a happy summer vacation is coming. And for those students who have been selected for the fall selection, this summer vacation is not destined to be very pleasant. They need to use the precious time of the summer vacation to come up with a curry dish that is amazing enough.

Erina Nagikiri and Li Xiang, who became the Ten Masters, are the operators of the autumn selection, but although they are also first-year students, they do not participate in the autumn selection. On the one hand, they need to participate in the formulation of competition topics and competition rules, and it is unfair to other participants to participate in the competition by themselves.

On the other hand, the name of the Ten Masters of the Far Moon is even higher than the gold content of the first place in the autumn selection. There is no need for the two of them to participate in this autumn selection.

Of course, as a friend, it is the right thing to cheer up and give advice to the new Scarlet Sako who participated in this competition. Although Erina's enthusiasm caught Scarlet a little off guard.

During the summer vacation, Li Xiang's life gradually returned to the normal track, in addition to continuing his own studies and cooking experiments, Li Xiang also participated in a lot of work with Yishihui, and also really felt the influence of the local tyrant school.

After the summer vacation, the autumn selection of the far moon began as scheduled, and after a fierce competition, the final result of the competition was no different from the original book. It is still Ryo Hayama first, and Ryo Kurokiba and Kohei Soma are tied for second. The remaining quarter-finals are still Megumi Tado, Sasako Shinto, Alice Nagiri, Takmi Aldini and Misaku.

Li Xiang's arrival seems to have changed something, and nothing seems to have changed.

"Hey, Emiya, what are you doing?"

Erina Nagikiri called out to someone standing by the window looking at the starry sky at night.

Li Xiang came back to his senses: "Oh, I'm sorry. It may have been a bad night's sleep last night. I'll go wash my face and come back. ”

"Go ahead, it's going to be a field training soon, remember to have a good rest."

"Well, I'm sorry for you."

Lee wanted to go to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and looked at his reflection in the mirror.

"Iriel, what's wrong with me lately?"

System Lori's familiar voice came from her head,

"The host's physical condition has always been fine, but there is nothing Irel can do about psychological or spiritual issues."

"Yes, forget it. Iriel, you go back to sleep. ”... Friends who read books, you can search for "Blue Chinese Network", you can find this site as soon as possible.
