Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire (Part II)
Six dishes were served to the judges' table, and the three dishes of Nian Bing were covered with a faint layer of white mist, Marquis Noah looked at Nian Bing, and then looked at Liao Feng, who bowed his head and pondered, and smiled: "Please ask the two chefs to introduce your dishes each." Let's start tasting, Liao Feng, you come first. The bowl and chopsticks had already been served, and everyone including Xue Ji and Jin Hao had picked up the chopsticks and were ready to do it. Their eyes were completely focused on Nian Bing's three ice-based dishes.
Liao Feng shook his head and looked at Nian Bing next to him, with a complicated light in his eyes, "I think, I don't need to introduce anything, I just want to taste the dishes of this Nian Bing chef." ”
Marquis Noah's gaze turned to Nian Bing and smiled, "Then please ask Chef Nian Bing to introduce me." ”
Nian Bing looked at the three plates of dishes shrouded in ice mist in front of him, and said calmly: "These three dishes of mine all belong to the Ice and Fire Fusion Series, and I call this series the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire. While speaking, Nian Bing pointed to the first dish and said: "The main ingredient of this dish is an ordinary chicken, I call it Ice Hot Lotus Chicken, the chicken itself is ordinary, but I choose to use the flame to chop green onions, The fragrance of minced ginger bursts out, so that it is immersed in the chicken, and then baked with a flame to make the chicken enter the state of eight maturity, extinguish the flame, wrap it in lotus leaves, seal the ice outside, due to the heat of the chicken, the lotus leaves will be better released under the action of the two extreme temperatures of ice and heat, and the aroma in the lotus leaves will be better released, completely integrated into the chicken, and finally, bombarded with explosive flames, so that the ice and lotus leaves disappear, the aroma of the lotus leaves is completely fried into the chicken, and the chicken is cooked, but deliberately, the cooking pays attention to fully revealing the original flavor of the raw materials. It's the real way of cooking. Therefore, the biggest feature of the ice hot lotus chicken is a fragrant word, which is a different fragrance. As for the outside sealed with an ice cover, it is to preserve the temperature and aroma of the ice hot lotus chicken, please taste it while it is hot. ”
Everyone's hands moved at the same time, no one paid attention to the three dishes made by Liao Feng at all, but went straight to Nian Bing's ice hot lotus chicken, the ice outside was pierced by chopsticks, and suddenly, the rich aroma came to the face, and the surface of the chicken completely turned golden yellow, and everyone started to do it. The chicken skin was extremely crispy, and of course, after the first bite of chicken, the judges, including Jin Hao, made the same action and continued to stretch out the second chopsticks. Liao Feng on the side chewed the tender chicken, and the expression on his face kept changing, not gloomy, but surprised.
"Brother Nian, I'm really convinced, your ice and fire lotus chicken not only fully reflects the taste of the chicken itself, but also contains nine different aromas, some rich, some light, I calculate, a total of eight, oh, no, it's nine flavors, no wonder it should be called the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens series, even if my three dishes add up, they can't compare to your plate of chicken!"
Feeling Liao Feng's pride, Nian Bing couldn't help but feel a little more good about him. I just wanted to say something, but I heard Marquis Noah shouting: "Old Xue, you eat less, leave me some, my chicken legs, return my ......"
Nian Bing looked down, and felt a chill in his heart, at this time, the plate of chicken was gone, and there was not even any dregs left, and all the judges seemed to have never eaten, and they didn't care about the greasy, and they had already started to use their hands directly. Even Luo Rou, who has a dusty temperament, is holding a chicken wing and eating. In the face of food, there is no one who cares about the word elegance.
Nian Bing smiled bitterly: "Eat slowly, aren't there two dishes here?" Pointing to the plate of lamb chops, he said: "This dish with lamb chops as the main ingredient is called Ice Fire Blood Rain Steak." Among them, I added more than 10 kinds of seasonings, each of which is only a little, not for the sake of flavor, but to bring out the aroma of lamb chops, as we all know, mutton has a certain fishy smell, and tomato juice in the fusion with various seasonings, not only will not remove the fishy gas, but will play a role in setting off, through ice, Fire two extremes of magic to stew, all the seasonings and the flavor of the tomato juice are completely immersed in the lamb chops, so that the lamb chops reflect the fishy umami, the tomato juice on the outside may be cold, but the lamb chops inside are absolutely hot, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, which has a different flavor. ”
After he finished speaking, the judges chewed the chicken in their mouths, and they were already holding chopsticks to control the ice, fire, blood and rain row. The ice cover was extremely tragic, Nian Bing's comments on his dishes were extremely pertinent, and the judges clearly found the exact answer from the lamb chops in every word he said. This time, Luo Rou learned wisely, and immediately put her chopsticks in her mouth, and immediately stretched her chopsticks to the third dish cooked in fish soup.
"Wow, it's so fresh! Why doesn't the snow fish I've eaten before have this umami?" Luo Rou held a spoon in her hand, and as soon as she took a sip of the soup, she was fascinated by this dish served on an eight-point ice tray.
Nian Bing smiled slightly, and said, "This is the one I am best at in the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens Cuisine, called Ice and Fire Eight Extremes." You should have seen in the process of making it, I use snowfish as a soup, and even the fish bones are split into powder, and there are two misunderstandings in ordinary cooking snowfish, one is that you can't get rid of the little earthy smell of snowfish, and the other is to throw away the snowfish bones. The solution to the first problem is very simple, that is, cramps, any kind of fish has tendons, that is, everyone sees the white line I have removed, the tendons of fish are also called fishy tendons, as long as it is removed, the earthy smell will naturally disappear. The bones of the snow fish have a certain amount of fish oil in them, which is the most delicious place, so it is naturally the best choice to put the whole snow fish into the soup. The main ingredient of this Ice and Fire Eight Poles Fresh is nine kinds, that is, snow fish and other eight ordinary ingredients, when the snow fish soup is still hot, I pour it into the Eight Poles Ice Tray, so that the other eight filamentous materials will be cooked by the snow fish soup, and will not lose their own taste, when the hot temperature of the snow fish soup is lowered because of the ice tray, the taste of the eight materials itself will be integrated into the snow fish soup, so the biggest feature of this Ice and Fire Eight Poles Fresh is that it has eight different flavors. The dish is actually a soup, and it is enough to drink the soup. The temperature of the soup should be just right, so please enjoy it. ”
Whether it is the service staff of Qingfeng Zhai, or the guards who are wearing civilian clothes to protect the marquis and earl, they all understand what it means to be swept up and what it means to gobble. The three dishes made by Chef Liao Feng are also extremely gorgeous in appearance, but compared to Nian Bing's Ice and Fire Nine Heavens cuisine, they are too far inferior in terms of gorgeousness. Especially the faint white mist of the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens Cuisine is enough to attract people's attention, and after Nian Bing finished explaining, the three dishes he made have completely disappeared, and the judges all looked unsatisfied, so they almost went to gnaw on the plates made of ice.
Jin Hao put down the tableware in his hand in a daze, looked at Nian Bing, and suddenly said: "I have been in the prostitution and eating industry for half my life, and I have never eaten such a delicious thing, Chef Nian Bing, if you want me to come to our Dacheng Xuan, I accept any conditions you offer." ”
Nian Bing said indifferently: "So, is Boss Jin admitting defeat?
Jin Hao's eyes flashed. "No need, I'm very familiar with what kind of dishes Liao Feng can make, I lost, and I lost very thoroughly, I really don't understand, where did Brother Xue find you. I, Jin Hao, am not a person who can't afford to lose, and if I lose, I lose. I hope you will consider my words. The two lords, the marquis and the earl, Jin Hao still had something to do, so he retired. After speaking, he walked out of the judges' seat and walked towards the outside of Qingfeng Zhai.
The chefs who originally assisted Liao Feng followed him, and Liao Feng asked Nian Bing, "Brother Nian, can you tell me how you managed to control the taste of the chicken so ever-changing?"
Nian Bing smiled indifferently and said: "The key is the heat, although the chicken has to be cooked, the cooked heat and the amount of fusion with the green onion and ginger can be controlled, and the taste will naturally change." This may be the mystery of magic, I have also seen the dishes you cook, you pay too much attention to appearances. As you can imagine, the taste is good, but the appearance is still a little worse, and if you pay more attention to the changes in the taste in the future, you will definitely be able to make further progress. ”
Liao Feng's eyes showed a look of respect, "I've been taught." I will definitely learn again when I have the opportunity in the future. With that, he saluted the earl and the marquis, and turned away.
The marquis regained his previous demeanor, stood up, looked at Nian Bing, and showed an approving gaze, "Now there is no need for Ben Jue to say anything, Nian Bing, you have won this competition with an absolute advantage." But I wonder why you can have two spells at the same time? I'm not familiar with magic, but I know it's counterintuitive. ”
Nian Bing reached into his arms, took out a bunch of scrolls from his arms, no less than thirty large and small, and said with a smile: "Lord Marquis, please see, in fact, I am just an ice magician, all the flames are made with these things, I used the ice scrolls I made myself to the magic shop to exchange some fire scrolls, and with my own cooking skills, it naturally has that effect." ”
When the marquis saw so many magic scrolls, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, after all, even a poor scroll has a lot of value, especially those few high-level scrolls that are very small in size, you don't need to look at it, you can know that the magic ability contained in them is not small. It can be described as priceless, and he turned his head to look at Long Zhi, "President Long, you always ask for funds from above, and now it seems that your magician union has a lot of resources!"
Long Zhi glanced at Nian Bing and said: "Don't mistake the size of the marquis, these scrolls are owned by Nian Bing himself, he is very talented in making magic scrolls, and the success rate is very high, so there are so many, and they are not provided by the union." ”
The marquis laughed and said: "Anyway, Nian Bing's exquisite cooking skills make me breathtaking, I am afraid that the imperial chef in His Majesty's palace cannot be compared, a good Ice and Fire Nine Heavens, a good Ice and Fire Demon Chef! ”
Luo Rou on the side stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle Noah, I'm afraid it's useless for you to give advice, how many magicians are willing to learn cooking?" Uncle, since Nian Bing has already won, shouldn't the victory of the bet be given to him?"
Marquis Noah's face turned red, the box containing the Shengyao Stone had always been in his hand, for this precious light gem, he was really a little difficult to give up, but after all, his status was there, and it was not good to show his greedy nature at this time, he nodded, and said: "Yes, Ben Jue almost forgot, Nian Bing, give it to you, this is your trophy." ”
Nian Bing took the lead box and handed it to Xue Ji on the side, "Uncle, you won." ”
Xue Ji didn't answer, and said with a smile: "No, this is what you won, you used the Aotian knife to win the bet, although the Aotian is not exactly your thing now, but at least I have sold it, what you won by your own bet, why give it to me?"
Nian Bingleng paused, looked at the deep gaze in Xueji's eyes, tightened the square box in his hand, and smiled: "Then I will be disrespectful." He didn't want to give Xue another chance to make a request, so he took Sheng Yaozhu into his arms in a grand manner. Although this is a bit worse in terms of etiquette, for the sake of a treasure of the level of Saint Yaozhu, Nian Bing can't care about it now.
Long Zhi walked out from behind the judges' bench and saluted the marquis and earl: "Everyone, today's competition is over, Brother Xue, if you don't have anything else, let Nian Bing go back with us." ”
Xue Ji and Long Zhi have always had a good relationship, not to mention that today's defeat of Nian Bing Dachengxuan made him feel very good, "Okay, then you guys can go back." Nian Bing, I will send a carriage to pick you up tomorrow evening. ”
Marquis Noah said with some dissatisfaction: "The three dishes just now are not full yet, Nian Bing, I want you to make two more dishes for us to taste." ”
A trace of dissatisfaction rose in Nian Bing's heart, as a top chef, he didn't work hard to learn cooking skills in order to serve these dignitaries. But at this time, the city lord who rejected Snow City was a little unreasonable, and when he was in trouble, it was Luo Rou who relieved the siege for him, "Uncle Noah, the so-called delicious food can't be used too much, no matter how delicious things are eaten, they can't get the true taste of it, Nian Bing used so much magic just now, let him go back and rest and rest." Wouldn't it be the same if you came back tomorrow?"
Marquis Noah listened to Luo Rou's words, surprisingly did not insist anymore, nodded, and said, "Since Rou'er said so, then let's do it today, Lao Xue! Take out your treasured good wine, let's have a few drinks, this is always okay." Nian Bing, you go back first, tomorrow Benjue will definitely come again to taste your craft. The Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire series is really creative. ”
