Chapter 53: The Right Strategy for the Tongue of God

"The texture of the shrimp is springy, and the sweetness becomes more obvious the more you chew it"

"The asparagus is crispy, and the aroma and umami are good"

"Ayu doesn't have any bitter taste at all"

"The conger eel is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is delicate and there is no fishy smell at all"

"The moisture of the ingredients themselves is heated and evaporated in the wrapping of the dough coating, and the ingredients are steamed so that the ingredients can maintain their freshness and original flavor."

"There was once a tempura master who said that tempura is steamed, not fried, and this dish by Chef Nakamura best exemplifies this sentence."

In addition to Nagi Managi, Chiharata Natsuya and Nagi Senzaemon both tasted the tempura of Nakamura Gango.

"I have a question, your tempura not only gives the tempura the breath of cherry blossoms from the fine salt, but also feels the breath of cherry blossoms from the inside of the tempura, how did you do that?" Chitatsu Natsuya asked curiously with a puzzled look.

"That's because I also add cherry blossom powder when I make tempura," Nakamura replied, pointing to the basin on which the noodles had been made.

"I see, the cherry blossoms in the noodle coat penetrate into the ingredients through steam, so that the tempura can feel the faint aroma of the cherry blossoms from the inside out," Natsuya Chitari nodded in relief.

"Heh, dare to take such garbage, why do you think such a dish can be won? I don't even dare to break through myself, I only know the stubborn chef moth! Compared to the other two, Nagi Shinaki's words can be described as venom, constantly spilling on the body of the Nakamura gang.

Nakamura could only hold back his anger and retreat to the cooking table, his judging was over.

All eyes were on Douglas Lin again, and the students carefully observed his cooking techniques, trying to find out the secret of his glow.

Lin Douge ignored the pair of eyes of Mimi, put the fish into the pot, added some oil and ginger to fry to remove the smell, and then pounded the fish into minced fish, plus a little shredded tangerine peel, picked off a few beads on the neck, according to the spice inequality calculation of the spice formula, poured into the spices in turn, and then from the gourd on the waist, poured a little saliva wine into it, with the stir-frying, a strong spice storm swirled out of the pot and floated throughout the venue.

There was a sound of tearing clothes, and Nagikiri Senzaemon, who had just put on his clothes, burst his kimono into pieces because he smelled the fragrance of stir-fried spices, leaving only a crotch cloth barely covering his body.

"It smells so good!"

"What kind of spice is this?"

"I can barely smell it, and one of them is pepper"

The students inhaled the scent in the air, soaking in the scent of the spice and diligently analyzing the ingredients.

Lin opened the pot where the fish soup was cooking, strained the fish through a sieve, poured it into the fish, and then put the shredded carrots, fungus, mushrooms, starch and egg whites that had been cut in and heated together.

When the previous ingredients are almost cooked, add shredded loofah, chives and a little shredded lemon leaves, and finally put in the yellow edible chrysanthemum before cooking, and a chrysanthemum fish puree soup is completed.

Douglas Lin poured the soup into a large basin, brought it to the judges, put it down, and returned to the table to drink his wine.

The three judges looked at the food in front of them, and saw that green, yellow, black, red, orange and other different colors of ingredients were floating neatly on the basin, covering the entire basin, and they could not see the situation below.

Because they weren't very familiar with this somewhat niche Chinese cuisine, Nagi Senzaemon and Chimatari Natsuya looked at Lin Douge and wanted to hear his introduction, but the other party had been drinking and ignored them, so they had to turn their heads to Nagi Managi, who was rumored to have tasted all the world's cuisines, and asked the other party to popularize science.

"Judging from the cooking techniques, this should be a dish called fish paste soup," Nagi explained as she looked at the fish paste soup that was neither visible nor dewy, with both desire and fear in her eyes. I longed for the hope she had been looking for in this dish, but she was afraid of it, which was actually a disappointment.

She didn't hesitate for long, she was already fed up with the desperation she had been waiting for, she didn't wait for the other two, she directly picked up the spoon and dug into the beautiful color pattern.

A golden light appeared on the arena again, and everyone's eyes widened, refusing to let go of a second.

In the golden light, thousands of crucian carp surged out from this small pot of dishes, and the seven-colored rainbows, with the intoxicating breath of life, constantly crossed the void, and the place where they passed was like the revival of all things, the spring buds germinated, and the fresh and tender plants broke through the soil, like the birth of a new world.

When everyone withdrew from the illusion, they couldn't calm down for a long time, and when they looked at the pot again, they saw that the colorful shreds of ingredients that had been spread on the top of the dish just now had spread out to the surrounding area, surrounding the minced fish that was as white as jade.

The three judges picked up the spoon and eagerly took a bite and put it in their mouths.

Facial muscles tensed, brows furrowed, eyes narrowed hard, lips pursed tightly, and the faces of the three judges were instantly distorted, with an expression of forbearance.

"It's so delicious, lala!!" Chitatsu Xia Ya couldn't help it at first, and opened her mouth to chant passionately.

"Superb deliciousness! It's like a paradise of food!! After Nagi Senzaemon called out, his whole body relaxed, and he looked like he had been immersed in a fairyland.

"Delicious! Delicious! Woo woo woo ~ finally can eat it, woo woo ~ it's the first time it's so delicious, it turns out that this is the real food! The tears in Nagi's eyes rolled and flowed out of her sockets, and she cried as she spoke, crying like an abandoned child.

"Woo woo ~ The texture and taste have changed again, woo ~ It's so delicious, every bite is changing, the combination of ingredients and spices is changing all the time, like a living dish" Nagi Nagi took a bite, and he couldn't stop, one bite after another, and kept sending it into his mouth, just like a victim who had been hungry for many days.

"It's so warm, it's so comfortable, the food is like this, it turns out that what I've been pursuing is wrong, looking for new dishes is just constantly filling the hole in the tongue of the gods, and only conquering it with real deliciousness is the most correct solution" Nagi Managi said after eating the last bite of the basin, slumped in his seat, his face flushed with happiness, and he looked enlightened.

Then a wave erupted from her body in all directions, and a huge crash was heard one after another, followed by a violent earthquake shaking.

However, this is only the beginning, and the same phenomenon has appeared in the body of Nagi Senzaemon beside her.

Two different rhythmic collisions intersected, and an earthquake that was even more violent than before, appeared in the venue.
