Chapter 120: The Cry from the Heart (Second Update, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection!) )
In the end, Kurokiba Ryo still took half a step back, and motioned to Tian Suo Hui to go first, he has been following Yang Cao for so long, and he has been more or less affected, and the lady is first.
Megumi Tasho understood and presented the dish.
"Please, [seafood oden]."
"Huh?"
The five of them looked at the ordinary and unusual dishes in front of them.
Ordinary, in neon, seafood-themed oden is no longer uncommon.
But what is not ordinary is that the shrimp, various shellfish, and vegetables are neatly arranged, and in terms of plating, the oden outside is definitely not comparable, and there is an aroma, and the seemingly mellow soup base has a very soft and light aroma.
Nagi Senzaemon took the lead and took the lead in picking up the soup spoon, scooping a spoonful of shrimp and soup base and putting it in his mouth.
"Hmm~!"
"Smack~"
The clothes exploded three times, and the five judges came to Hokkaido, Megumi Tado's hometown.
Standing on the edge of the harbor and looking at the busy dock workers, it is hot, but it is very dull.
This is the daily life of the dock workers, going to sea, fishing, returning to port, hard work, but full of happiness.
Just then, they found a little blue-haired girl with double braids in the busy crowd, struggling to run to a beautiful woman with a small bucket of freshly caught seafood.
"Mommy, look, this is what I caught! Today, the ingredients in the store are available! The little girl said happily.
"Mmmm, Xiao Hui is amazing." The beautiful lady touched the little girl's head and complimented, her eyes full of doting.
The woman took the bucket and led the little girl home, although she knew that this little fish could not meet the ingredients needed in the store, but she did not say anything, but just led the little girl like this, talking and laughing home, and the backs of the two of them talking and laughing formed a happy picture.
"Prawns, oysters, scallops, salmon, sea asparagus, sea weed, kelp, sea vegetables, cumin, white pepper, bonito powder, kelp, and cardamom are added to the spices.
All components of the cuisine include the theme of "sea".
And with such a silky and smooth but not rich soup, you used sea taro, right? Nagi Senzaemon asked.
"Yes, I tasted it...... A senpai's vegetarian ramen, and it's morning. He mashes the taro and adds it to the soup base, which not only makes the soup more smooth and silky, but also provides a unique umami flavor that is rich but not rich, so that people can eat the rich flavor of ramen early in the morning without feeling uncomfortable. Tian said.
"Sea asparagus, also known as samphire and stone asparagus, grows along the beach flats, crisp, tender and slightly salty, with a unique taste.
Haiying cuisine, also known as yellow mustard and Suaeda salsa, is used here to be white and tender roots, crisp and refreshing. "One of the judges explained the sea asparagus and sea English dishes that are not very familiar to ordinary people.
"The seafood oden, which should be full of richness, has become bland and refreshing under the effect of the eyelid of the sea old taro, and there are the most precious memories hidden in the cuisine, and every day of hard work but fulfillment in the harbor town in the countryside, "the sea does not raise waves", it is so simple. Nagi Senzaemon commented.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief." Megumi Tansoko bowed in surprise and thanked her, she didn't expect that the "Demon Eater" who had always been high in the sky would have such a high opinion of her cuisine, and she was flattered.
"Then what's next, is it my turn?" Seeing that the five judges ate Megumi Tazo's food completely, Ryo Kurokiba appeared.
"Hmm." Nagi Senzaemon nodded.
"Please, [King Crab Hibiscus Egg]."
As soon as the lid was lifted, the eyes of the five judges lit up, and if Megumi Tazoko's "Seafood Oden" is an elegant ink painting, there is a deep meaning between a few strokes. Then this [King Crab Hibiscus Egg] is a beautiful piece of jewelry.
The golden eggs are dotted with white crab meat, like cold jade, and the loose green onions are jade.
"Gollum~"
Smelling the enticing aroma, his throat squirmed, and he didn't speak, just picked up a spoon and mixed it with eggs, crab meat and chopped green onions.
"Huh~"
The scenery suddenly changed, and the five of them came to a golden ocean, and the calm sea surface was not rippling.
But as they slowly dived into the depths of the ocean, they found that the seemingly calm encirclement was surging in the depths, and the fighting continued.
With the faint light, everyone had to widen their eyes to see clearly that the king crab, which had always been huge, was encroaching on the territory of other races.
The other races also began to fight hard, and the two sides engaged in fierce invasion and defense battles.
Consciousness returned, and Nagi Senzaemon scooped up another spoonful of eggs, but did not eat it, observing.
"I see, is this the secret you are hiding in the deepest depths?"
"I see! I said how to eat the flavor of other seafood! ”
"It turned out to be hidden under the calm sea......"
"Yes." Kurokiba Ryo began to explain his own cuisine, "In this dish, I not only use king crab meat, but also caviar, mullet roe, mackerel roe, and salmon roe...... Beneath the simple exterior, a rich feast of the sea is constructed. ”
The camera on the big screen focused on the spoon of Nagi Senzaemon, and the viewers who didn't know why realized that not only the crab meat of the king crab was inlaid on the surface, but also the eggs were inlaid with various colors of fish roe, so this dish was not only [King Crab Hibiscus Egg], but also [Group of Fish Gathering Hibiscus Egg].
"The tender eggs, the pink crab meat, and the flavor of various fish roe that explode in the mouth, the seemingly calm world is full of struggle in the dark depths."
"There's also a faint spicy taste, and it's really not easy to find if you don't eat it carefully, yes...... Grass fruit! ”
"Well, grass fruit, remove the smell and remove the fat, mostly used in the cooking of meat and fish, so that the taste is better and fresher, and it perfectly solves the fishy smell brought by too much fish roe."
"And the meaning of this dish ......"
Halfway through speaking, the five judges looked up at Ryo Kurokiba.
"Where in this world is there a place of complete peace, even now, the theme should be calm, but this is a competition, then there will be competition, it's just to hide the fighting heart." Kurokiba Ryo put on a headscarf and said in a rough manner, finally looking at Megumi Tazo.
Megumi Tazo was also taken aback by Ryo Kurokiba's sudden turn, but only took a small step back to calm down.
"No, you can't be afraid! Now that it's decided, it's time to face it! I...... I don't want to be so weak anymore! Megumi Tazo regained her footing, her gaze resolutely meeting that of Ryo Kurokiba.
"Huh~ good eyes, it seems that you have made up your mind!" Kurokiba said.
"Hmm...... Well! I've decided! Won't be timid anymore! At last...... Even if it's Kurokiba-kun, I'm not afraid! I'm going to! Defeat you! Megumi Tazo plucked up her courage and said.
"Hahaha, that's good! I underestimated you before, since that's the case, let's have a good fight! ”
"Hmm...... Well! ”
At this time, there seemed to be two phantoms behind the two, and they fought together, you give me a punch, I will give you a punch, and the fight is endless.
……
In the audience, Yang Cao saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled, and the goal he wanted to achieve was completed.
Ryo Kurokiba began to try to hide his aggressiveness in the shadows, not so sharp.
Megumi Tazo inspired courage to face challenges without flinching or being discouraged, and fought for victory with all her might.
In this game, no matter who wins or loses, it doesn't matter in Yang Cao's opinion, they have already gained more important gains.
"Xiaohui, this child, has finally grown up." Granny Wen Xu looked at Tian Suohui with a look of relief, "Thank you, boy Yang." ”
"I said I don't need to thank you, Granny Wenxu, they are ...... O my disciple. In the face of Wenxu's mother-in-law's second thanks, Yang Cao waved his hand and said that he didn't care.
……
And now, when it was time to come out with the results, the decisions of the five judges, each lit up one by one.
3:2, Kurokiba Ryo narrowly wins.
When Tian Suzui saw this result, her face turned gloomy, she still lost, she felt ...... she had made such a big determination, but she still lost Unwilling.
But at this time, Ryo Kurokiba took off his turban and walked in front of Megumi Tado.
"What are you sad about?"
"Huh?"
"I won, but I won't have it easy, Tansho, this fight is just the beginning for us." Kurokiba said, then walked over to Megumi Tadoko's cooking table, watched the rest of the food serve it for himself, and began to taste it.
"Well~ it's delicious, isn't it? It's worse than mine, though. ”
After eating, Kurokiba Ryo packed up his kitchen utensils and left directly.
Tian Sue was still stunned on the stage.
"Tanasa-san, is this the only game you have to be determined?" Nagi Senzaemon asked imposingly.
"Huh?" Tian was shocked.
"You spent so much courage to make up your mind, is that all? Is it so fragile? Is the win or loss of a game in vain? Nagi Senzaemon asked.
"I ...... I ......" Megumi Tando lowered her head, clenched her fists tightly, and tears flowed down her eyes a little uncompromisingly.
"Answer my question, Megumi Tajiko! Is this the end of your determination? Nagi Senzaemon raised his voice and asked.
"Don't! I don't want to stop here! I want to continue to be with all of you! Let's learn! Grow together! At the end of the day, I want to win too! I want to defeat Kurokiba-kun too! I want to make even better dishes! ”
Megumi Tasso, who was forced to the limit, shouted at Nagi Senzaemon with tears in her eyes, venting the cry that she had been holding in her heart.
"What, didn't they all lose?"
"What else do you want to win?"
"It's obviously a crane tail, and I'm lucky to be selected for the autumn auditions."
"I was really lucky, and I made it to the official round."
"But isn't that exposed? Lost the first game. ”
……
"What did you say?" Daigo Aoki and Shoji Sato immediately wanted to teach the cold-talking students around them a lesson, but Yang Cao held them down.
"Calm down, Aoki, Sato."
"But Mr. Yang ......"
"Chef is a profession that uses cooking to state facts." Yang Cao said lightly, glancing coldly at the students around him.
"Silence!" Hearing the sneers of the audience at the scene, Nagi Senzaemon also shouted angrily, and the sound spread throughout the audience without using a microphone.
