Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is no objection to these rules, and the cooking showdown is officially established!
Putting aside the prejudice in their hearts, everyone is still looking forward to this culinary showdown, especially the seven lucky ones who were randomly selected as judges.
Although they have not tasted Fan Yue's cooking, they have seen Fan Yue's steamed buns with their own eyes, and they know that Fan Yue's cooking skills are definitely not trivial.
As for Zhu Xian, needless to say, as a descendant of Zhu Rong's Stove God, his cooking skills are naturally not bad, and Zhu Xian's reputation is also thunderous in the culinary world, and as chefs, it is difficult for them to know or not.
The cooking duel between these two protagonists, even before it has even begun, everyone is already on the verge of climax.
However, there is someone who is unhappy with this arrangement, and that person is the Tongtian Sect Master.
In order to avoid suspicion, the Tongtian Sect Master with obvious emotional bias was not selected for the seven-member list of the judging panel, and once again failed to become the first person to taste the delicious food made by Fan Yue.
If that's the case, it's okay, but Yuan Shi Tianzun was lucky to become one of the seven referees because of his fairness, which made the Tongtian Sect Master's heart even more unbalanced.
"Don't worry, Tongtian, I'll definitely describe the food I ate to you later, and I promise to make you empathize!" said Yuan Shi Tianzun patting Tongtian Sect Master's shoulder.
It's okay if Yuan Shi Tianzun didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, the Tongtian Sect Master immediately exploded.
"Yuan Shi you are less proud! I will definitely eat twice as much in the future!" The Tongtian Sect Master snorted coldly, and his gloomy face stopped paying attention to the triumphant Yuan Shi Tianzun.
After a short time, the assistant chefs in the kitchen gathered all the fresh ingredients in the Biyou Palace behind the two stoves, and the two people in the cooking duel could choose at will.
The referee and the duel were all in place, and Yuan Shi Tianzun, who served as the interim chief referee, announced loudly: "The culinary duel has officially begun!"
As soon as the duel began, Zhu Xian immediately moved, he was premeditated in this culinary duel, and he had already thought about what kind of food he wanted to use to defeat Fan Yue.
However, Fan Yue didn't move for a long time after Yuan Shi Tianzun announced the start, staring at those ingredients, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was in a daze.
Fan Yue's abnormal behavior caused everyone to be very puzzled, and the Tongtian Sect Master was even more worried, this cooking duel was a time limit.
While an hour is more than enough for a good chef, the stakes are high, and it will take more time to make the food better.
If the delay is too long, so that it is completed in a hurry, then the finished dish will definitely be left behind.
Ignoring the eyes of others, Fan Yue at this time was thinking about what dishes to make to complete this culinary showdown.
The ingredients of Biyou Palace are indeed speechless, and they are all fairy boutiques at a glance, even if they are ordinary vegetables such as greens and cucumbers, they are full of aura, and I don't know what method is used to cultivate them.
As for the ingredients of the meat, it is not the same as the meat that Fan Yue tasted and saw, all of them are the meat of spirit beasts with abundant spiritual energy and perfect flesh, although it is not as against the sky as the winged bird meat of the Empty Netherworld, but at least it is the meat of some spirit beasts in the Dan Period.
Moreover, Penglai Island is surrounded by water, and the most abundant ingredients are naturally aquatic products, so Fan Yue even found some fish that were produced in the infant stage of the Yuan Dynasty.
If you want to make the most delicious food, of course, you should choose the best ingredients.
After some consideration, Fan Yue decisively set his sights on the best ingredient - geoduck.
Geoduck, also known as the emperor mussel and goddess clam, is named for its large and fleshy siphon, which resembles an elephant's trunk (elephant pull), and is a very delicious and popular high-grade seafood, which was fortunate to taste in Fan Yue's previous life, and has an endless aftertaste.
And the geoduck in front of Fan Yue's eyes now is more plump and tender than the geoduck he had eaten in his previous life, and what is even more valuable is that this geoduck was still a spirit animal in the fourth layer of the Yuan Infant Stage before his death, but unfortunately in the end, he did not escape the arrangement of fate and became the ingredient on other people's tables.
After selecting the ingredients, Fan Yue began to search the system for geoduck-related cooking skills.
"System, do you have any cooking skills for geoducks?"
After some searching, the system gave the answer.
"Braised Geoduck Cooking Skills Pack: After learning, you will have the cooking skills to cook braised geoducks. Price: 1500 Cooking Credits.
Steamed Geoduck Cooking Skills Pack: After learning, you will have the cooking skills to cook steamed geoducks. Price: 1500 Cooking Credits.
Geoduck Pickle Soup Cooking Skills Pack: After learning, you will have the cooking skills to cook geoduck pickle soup. Price: 1500 Cooking Credits.
Stir-fried geoduck with green pepper cooking skill pack: After learning, you can have the cooking skills of stir-fried geoduck with green pepper. Price: 1500 Cooking Credits. ”
The system really did not disappoint Fan Yue, and gave four cooking methods at once, and the prices were all the same, and after some screening, Fan Yue still chose the boiled geoduck he had tasted in his previous life.
It took 1,500 Cooking Points to exchange for the Burning Geoduck Cooking Skill Pack, and then spent 13,000 Cooking Values for an Intermediate Cooking Upgrade Pack and an Advanced Cooking Upgrade Pack, directly upgrading the Burning Geoduck Cooking Skill to the Grandmaster level.
After choosing the target, Fan Yue finally began to move.
However, his first action was not to take the kitchen knife, but to flip it with one hand, and a small jade bottle appeared in his palm, which contained the low-level culinary comprehension spiritual liquid he had exchanged before.
Unplugging the bottle, Fan Yue poured the spiritual liquid inside into his mouth without hesitation, drank it with a grunt, and found that it tasted good, worthy of carrying the spiritual liquid of the culinary master's culinary skills.
Everyone was relieved to see that Fan Yue, who had been in a daze for a long time, finally moved, but they didn't expect that Fan Yue's first action was not to take the ingredients for cooking, but to drink something.
And looking at his appearance, the contents of the jade bottle seemed to be delicious, and everyone couldn't help but go crazy.
When is this, are you still in the mood to drink? You don't even look at Zhu Xian's dish that is facing off against you, and it's about to go to the pot, but you haven't even moved, can't you have a sense of urgency?
Fortunately, Fan Yue didn't waste any more time after drinking the cooking comprehension spiritual liquid, and started his cooking, and everyone's speechless emotions calmed down a lot.
With the skills of the grandmaster, coupled with the culinary comprehension that was raised to the level of harmony by the low-level spiritual liquid, Fan Yue was more comfortable in cooking.
Not only is the action smooth, elegant and charming, but cooking seems to have become a kind of enjoyment for him, and he is always in a very happy mood during the whole process.
The first thing Fan Yue has to do is to select geoducks, although the ingredients in Biyou Palace are all first-class precious and tender, but in order to make the best deliciousness, Fan Yue still has to pick the best among them.
After having the master-level cooking skills, Fan Yue also became very keen on the selection of geoducks, his eyes swept over more than forty geoducks, and soon locked on six of them with the most tightly closed tips and thick rainbow tubes.
After pinching, Fan Yue finally selected two mussels with the most delicate and firm flesh and the best elasticity from these six.
Each of the two selected geoducks was the size of four or five fists, enough to make enough for seven judges to taste.
After selecting the ingredients, Fan Yue removes the shell of the geoduck and cuts the mussel meat into thin slices.
Whenever Fan Yue shows his knife skills, it is a visual feast for the onlookers, although it is just a simple kitchen knife ups and downs, but it is interpreted by Fan Yue but contains the true meaning of the avenue, it is so beautiful and charming.
Just when everyone was fascinated and admired Fan Yue's knife performance, a large plate of geoduck meat slices with uniform thickness and smooth incision was born under Fan Yue's knife.
After the geoduck slices were completed, Fan Yue used the thin slices of mussel meat to remove the smell with cooking wine, and asked the cook to fetch a large piece of ice cube and put it aside to melt the water, and at the same time add water to the pot and make a fire to boil the water.
When the water boiled, Fan Yue took a colander and placed the thinly sliced mussels evenly in the colander, and then used the colander to hold the mussels and put them into the boiling water.
Blanching water is the most critical link in boiled geoduck, the time of scalding is too short to make geoduck fully cooked, and after a long time, it will make the mussel meat get old, lose its original fresh and tender taste, and eat tasteless, so it is very important to control the timing of the mussel meat.
Moreover, in order to maintain the same taste and doneness of the whole slice of mussel meat, it is necessary to have an absolute uniform thickness of the clam slices, which also requires high requirements for the chef's knife skills.
Of course, whether it is the control of timing or the requirements of sword skills, these are not problems for Fan Yue.
As a result, slices of geoduck meat that were plump and tender, and had just the right degree of doneness, were constantly fished out of the boiling water by Fan Yue.
At this time, the ice cube next to it has melted, and it is in a perfect state of ice and water mixing.
Fan Yue immediately sank the mussel meat that had just completed the scalding process in the boiling water into the ice water, and under the extreme heat and cold, the firmness and tenderness of the mussel meat were completely restrained, and it remained intact in the meat slices.
After the ice water was chilled, Fan Yue scooped up the mussel meat and put it aside to drain the water.
Keep placing thin slices of mussels in a colander, blanching, chilling, and draining.
Fan Yue kept repeating such seemingly simple and boring actions, but there was infinite meaning in this simple action.
When all the mussel slices were drained, Fan Yue picked up the kitchen knife again, cut a few washed fresh lemons into lemon slices and filled the bottom of the seven plates that had been prepared long ago, and then placed the drained mussel slices evenly on top of the lemon slices, and the boiled geoduck was successfully cooked!
Then use seven small plates to fill with the sauce that has been secretly prepared by the system, and the boiled geoduck is ready to be served.
This series of processes seemed to take a long time, but in fact, Fan Yue only took a quarter of an hour, and it was because it took a lot of time to wait for the ice to melt and the water to boil.
When everyone saw Fan Yue asking the kitchen to bring the seven plates of geoduck to the seven judges, they couldn't believe their eyes.
What? It was done so quickly?
Zhu Xian started before you, but now the other party hasn't finished it, but you did it first, and it only took a quarter of an hour.
Please, this is a very important culinary showdown, the outcome determines the ownership of the bet worth hundreds of millions of spirit stones, and the right to use the store on Penglai Island is not something that can be estimated simply by using spirit stones!
In such a major showdown, you were in a daze before, just drink something, but the food you make must at least be taken seriously, and it only took you a quarter of an hour from the selection of ingredients to the final completion, can you not be so childish?
And many people present have seen Fan Yue make the first bun in the fairy world, and as soon as the bun came out of the pot, the entire kitchen of Biyou Palace was filled with the tempting aroma of buns.
In comparison, the blazing geoduck made this time was too bland, not to mention that the onlookers did not smell any fragrance, and even the seven referees sitting in the referee's seat and closest to the mussel meat did not smell any fragrance.
Could it be that this Master Fan is really only good at steaming steamed buns, and not at delicacies other than steamed buns? If so, why didn't he continue to steam steamed buns this time?
If you think that the pork stuffed buns are inferior in terms of ingredients, you can change them to other meat fillings, at least there is a chance of victory, right?
On the other hand, Zhu Xian's side, but judging from his previous process, what he wants to do should be the exclusive delicacy of the Zhu family, Zhu's charcoal grilled fish.
Although he hadn't finished cooking yet, everyone had already faintly asked about the tempting aroma, although it was not as good as the first bun in the fairy world made by Fan Yue, it was still good.
Compared with the two, Fan Yue's blazing geoduck was infinitely despised by others, and even Yuan Shi Tianzun couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart, feeling that Fan Yue had really gotten away this time, and this duel must have been lost.
"Blached geoduck, please use it slowly!"
Fan Yue said loudly, still thinking that after this geoduck was served on the table, the seven judges would definitely be eager to move their chopsticks, and after tasting it, they would definitely be full of praise, completely conquered by this tender and delicious mussel meat.
However, what he really saw was that the seven referees were sitting there, staring at the mussels on the plate, and they didn't mean to move their chopsticks at all.
Fan Yue couldn't help but wonder: "A few judges, my dish has been completed and can be tasted!"
Yuan Shi Tianzun glanced at Fan Yue with a strange look in his eyes, shook his head, but didn't say anything, just said to the other six referees: "Okay, since we have taken the position of referee, let's try it." ”
After listening to Yuan Shi Tianzun's words, the other six referees looked at each other and nodded, and picked up their chopsticks.
Fan Yue was a little confused by the reaction of the seven people.
What's going on? Shouldn't the food he made rush to eat? At the beginning, the first bun in the fairy world made Yuan Shi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master fight for each other.
This boiled geoduck is several grades better than the first bun in the fairy world in the choice of ingredients, and when he made this boiled geoduck, he also used the cooking technique to understand the spiritual liquid to improve the realm of culinary understanding, and the food he made was many times better than the first bun in the fairy world.
However, looking at the reluctance of Yuan Shi Tianzun, it was as if this white boiled geoduck was not only not a delicacy but even a food that was difficult to swallow.
But tasting the food and giving comments was the duty of the judges of the culinary duel, and even if they didn't have an appetite, the Tongtian Sect Masters picked up their chopsticks, picked up a thin slice of mussel meat from the plate in front of them and put it into their mouths.
At first, it was nothing, but when they bit their teeth and began to chew, the expression on their faces that had been absent-minded and lacking in interest changed, as if they had discovered something terrible!
