Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

After a slightly cumbersome ancestor worship ceremony, after Xie Yunlong cleaned his hands, he took out one of the short mini-scrolls from the box with 100 copies of the "title"!

Among the hundreds of titles, some were submitted by members of the Liu family, some were submitted by Nakiri and his son, and some were submitted by the judges. It depends on luck... Ah, no, it depends on the will of the ancestors up!

Of course, no matter who proposes the topic, at most it is only beneficial to oneself, and generally it must be fair to both parties...

I only saw that the master took out a small scroll from the box, and after praying again in front of the tablet of "Liu Maoxing", he untied the ribbon tied on it.

To be honest, looking at this memorial tablet, Liu Maoxing was really awkward!

"Oh? This topic is quite interesting!"

After Master Xie sighed a little, he unfolded the small palm-length scroll in his hand and unfolded it horizontally...

I saw four big characters "Chinese Heroes" written on it, and some small characters below seemed to be notes.

Relying on his good eyesight, Liu Maoxing had already read the rules when Master Xie read them out.

The meaning of the title is that the two sides are cooking on the theme of "a hero's deeds" that have appeared in ancient and modern China...

It is worth noting that what the cooking is going to present is "a hero's story"!

At the same time, there are no regulations on the dishes and the number of dishes. Tomorrow, within the six-hour duel period, both parties can cook any number of dishes.

"Well, this is also the subject of the ancestors' decisive battle with the 'Dark Cuisine World' back then." The elder of the first clan said.

It seems that this topic should be put in it by people from the Liu family.

If Erina is not familiar with "Chinese Heroes", then they can have a slight advantage.

However, it is different from the topic of the "Zhonghua Yiyi" period. Not only does it not limit the dish to "chow mein", but it has already stated in the detailed rules that it is "a hero's deeds". Everyone is a hero" Ganga Mee is definitely not going to work...

"Okay, let's give the two contestants this night to think about what kind of dishes they should present tomorrow! I and the other judges will also look forward to it!" Master Xie said.

After coming out of the ancestral hall, Liu Maoyuan also told Liu Maoxing that the Liu family will prepare all night until ten o'clock tomorrow morning, before the third round of "cuisine showdown" officially starts, no matter what ingredients, kitchen utensils, and equipment Liu Maoxing needs, he can do it. Keep them informed.

Erina was obviously thinking about something, and found that after Liu Maoxing looked at her, he also wrinkled his nose at him, and then turned his head away...

"How about it? If you have no ideas, come to my room tonight and let's think together!" Liu Maoxing initiated the invitation.

But no matter how you look at this invitation, it doesn't look like it's being sent to your "opponent", but rather like an appointment with PAO...

"Come on! I'll let you know how powerful I am tomorrow, and then...wait..." Erina seemed to suddenly think of something, and gave Liu Maoxing an evil smile, and then went back to the Liu family to prepare a small hospital went.

Liu Maoxing looked puzzled, but he could tell that Erina must have an idea!

But Liu Maoxing didn't have any ideas yet, or there were too many heroes and deeds, and he didn't know which one to choose to solve the problem with cooking...

At the same time, Erina looked at her "sneering" expression, which also made Liu Maoxing aware of her "bad intentions"!

However, Liu Maoxing was not prepared to "tit for a tooth". After all, he was unwilling to do such a thing that was only a "temporary pleasure" but would cause endless disasters.

It wasn't until midnight that Liu Maoxing wrote down the ingredients and kitchen utensils he needed one after another, and asked the Liu family to prepare them...

At around nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Liu Maoxing and Erina had already arrived, a hall in the ancestral house specially prepared for the "cooking showdown".

On the stone pillars and walls in the hall, there are engraved scenes of dragons and tigers fighting. I don’t know if I thought it was a martial arts field or something...

At this time, the hall has been arranged according to the requirements of the players on both sides.

"A lot of things to prepare? And you came so early this time, it seems that you really want to win?" Erina said looking at the energetic Liu Maoxing.

"Of course, because the opponent is 'Erina'! For little Erina, I didn't sleep all night last night!" Liu Maoxing said.

Erina heard the words, blushed softly, and then silently began to adjust her body and mind before cooking...

Said Liu Maoxing was "serious", but obviously Erina didn't mean "careless" at all!

Although the two of them occupy a very important position in each other's heart, the more so, the more they don't want to lose!

When the clock reached ten o'clock, Master Xie looked at the two dressed in chef attire, all dressed meticulously, and looked very serious, nodded involuntarily, and then announced: "The third round of 'Shenqian Cuisine Showdown'... the cooking begins! "

After the two heard the order, they both raised their hands...

As Erina said, the ingredients prepared by Liu Maoxing are obviously much more.

There are all kinds of meat, vegetables, fruits, and flour. Relatively speaking, Erina's ingredients are much simpler, and she doesn't seem to be planning to cook too many dishes.

For six full hours, Liu Maoxing and Erina were busy working non-stop...

Because it was the last round of duel, and in the first two rounds, the gap between the two sides was hardly widened, so the eight elders of the Liu family and several members of the Nakiri family were all using "silence" to cover up their own feelings. nervous!

"Master Xie, what do you think of this final showdown?" Niitomori asked Xie Yunlong at the judging panel.

"I can't predict the outcome. Both sides are too good... But from my point of view, I think this is the closest the two sides have come to reconciliation."

"Did you also feel something? This time you seem to attach great importance to the reconciliation between the two families?" Lin Yi, another Long Chef, couldn't help asking.

However, Xie Yunlong couldn't see any emotional fluctuations in the eyes covered by the sunglasses, he just said: "One thing I didn't lie... I can't even remember whether I am one hundred and thirty or one hundred and forty years old. , my teacher only lived to about this age, and I may not be able to catch up with the next "cooking showdown in front of me". This is already a hundred years ago, and my tenth showdown as a judge I'm all there...

However, if there is an eleventh time, I may not be still here. I hope that the disputes of ideas, grievances, and spirits between the two families... can have a result after this session! "

The other judges couldn't help showing shock, and wanted to comfort Master Xie a few words, but they didn't know what to say...

Although Master Xie said so every time, and he was never absent every time, but this time... it seems to be more sincere!

However, there is no need to say words of consolation. Xie Yunlong himself seemed to be dismissive. He has no descendants, and what he cares most about now is the matter of the Liu family.

Only Lin Yi seemed to vaguely feel that it should not only be that simple, but because of Xie Yunlong's words, no one else noticed. What Lin Yi said just now was "Did you 'also' feel something?"...

"But Master Xie really believes in this 'Liu Maoxing'! It's not just because of his name, right?" Lei Yu said.

Everyone can see that Liu Maoxing played a very important role in Master Xie's "reconciliation plan".

"Who knows? Maybe after getting older, I like to believe in some illusory things? Hahaha..." Master Xie didn't explain much.

Until four o'clock in the afternoon, after Master Xie announced that "cooking is over", Liu Maoxing had already placed six kinds of dishes waiting to be served, and a colorful drink...

The dishes are some kind of pasta that is still in the steamer, cold dishes that seem to be "salted duck", beggar chicken that has not been opened in the mud, soup that is being boiled, and fried chicken that has been fried and placed in a dry incubator. Meat pieces, and finally there is a big piece of barbecue!

According to the rules, after the time is up, both parties are not allowed to cook any more, but they can still pack the dishes.

As for the order of presenting the dishes, the side that won the "Shenqian Cuisine Showdown" last time will present the dishes first, and then it will be Liu Maoxing's turn...

I saw Erina confidently presenting her first dish to the five judges.

It is a "Western-style patty", which is what the island nation calls "hamburger meat?".

Usually speaking of Chinese-style meatloaf, one must think of a kind of pasta, or Chinese-style "cake", which has already been determined to be a food composed of outer skin and inner filling.

But when it comes to "Western-style meatloaf", it has nothing to do with pasta. The reason why it is translated as "cake" is because it takes on the shape of a "cake"...

At that time, it was actually a kind of meat stuffing product, which was closer to Chinese meatballs.

But the difference is that "Western-style meatloaf" often uses fried, fried, and baked cooking methods...

Now what Erina is presenting is five plates of "Western-style meatloaf" dripping with red thickened sauce.

"Well, in the aroma of this meatloaf, there is a strong meat-specific oily aroma! Sure enough, a lot of 'pork net oil' was used to wrap this meatloaf before?" Tang Song shrugged his nose Said.

"That's right, I wrapped five layers of lard oil on top of the pork and beef mixture!" Erina said generously.

From the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, pigs and cattle are cold and warm, so they should not be eaten together.

When Liu Maoxing traveled to the previous world, he often mentioned this point in health lectures that he didn’t understand, but he couldn’t give any specific basis. At most, it was related to some chronic diseases with the same reasons and various reasons that could not be verified.

However, including "Western-style meatloaf", there are many examples of mixed use of pork and beef in many Western recipes, and in this world, no one mentions this, such as the "Zhonghua Yiyi" period, "Liu Maoxing "The flame-roasted suckling pig is also a typical mix of pig and cow...

"Five layers...seems a lot, right? But I didn't see any symptoms of being too greasy..."

"However, I didn't see that this is related to that 'Chinese hero'?"

The judges said with some doubts.

"Okay, let's try it first! Wouldn't it be more fun to guess which 'hero' it is?" Master Xie said.

At this time, everyone also moved the knives and forks that Erina had prepared for the judges...

Huh? No, why is there only a table knife and a brazing son?

Although the judges were puzzled, they didn't say much. They just cut the meatloaf into pieces and ate it with a stick...

The moment the knife was cut, I saw the full gravy overflowing from the inside. From the outside, it was impossible to tell that it would be such a meatloaf with such full gravy!

Thicken the glutinous rice flour prepared with red wine, after eating the meat, I can only feel a burst of full and explosive gravy filling the mouth, and it is full of "meat flavor", coupled with the thickened glutinous rice with red wine flavor...

Although it is wrapped in five layers of lard oil, it doesn't feel too greasy at all!

Just look at the flowered shirt that Master Xie is wearing, and the muscles that are bulging by him, you will know how good the meatloaf is!

"I see. When making meatloaf, lean pork tenderloin and beef tendon are used, and the stuffing is cut purely with a knife, and no oily or fatty parts are added..."

"Indeed, after that, it should be fried first and then roasted. After frying until it is half-cooked, the lard oil with a unique flavor will be melted, and then baked without water to make the lean meat patties inside absorb the fat. Bake it to dry out the fat on the outside and seal the gravy inside!"

"The red wine-based topping that is used as a condiment is also prepared just right, and the most wonderful thing is that it also has a faint aroma of dates and longan, which has a significant effect on neutralizing the greasy taste of meat!"

The judges were immersed in their appetite for meat. Although the tableware was not convenient, they still ate all the meatloaf that was slapped in front of everyone...

But at this moment, Tang Song said suddenly: "Wait, what you said, it seems that there is some dried fruit powder mixed in this refined meat pie... It seems to be crushed peanuts and lotus seed powder?"

date? Longan? peanut? Lotus seeds?

The faces of several judges became strange. Is there any other hero related to the "early birth of a precious child"?

However, Master Xie said before that after tasting all of them, he would ask how to solve the problem, so no one asked any questions, they just waited for Erina to present the second dish...

"Huh? Is it more Chinese-style stir-fry this time?"

Several judges looked in front of them, and said something that seemed to be stir-fried pork with green bamboo shoots.

"Is this 'Bang Cai'? Is it fried with beef?" Tang Song picked up one of them and said.

Bangcai is a kind of mustard greens, shaped like green bamboo shoots, with cylindrical stems, sparsely segmented, white or light green, sweet and juicy...

And the Shuzhong stick dish used by Erina is characterized by the swelling of the meat part and the fullness of the juice!

Several judges said that they usually picked up the stick vegetables on the plate in front of them and the small slices of beef. They only felt the unique mellow aroma of beef, which formed a wonderful combination with the crispy and sweet stick vegetables...

Master Xie, who was only "semi-expanded" after the entrance of beef, showed the appearance of "full expansion" again after another piece of sticky dish!

"Sure enough, it's the 'cucumber strips' part of the beef. It's extra crispy and tender. Even after slicing, it's hard to hide its unique taste!"

"Cucumber strip" refers to a part of beef, a piece of beef at the rump and along the biceps of the hipbone, also known as "carp tube", its commercial value is second only to those pieces of beef that can be used as steaks .

The taste is similar to tenderloin, and it is a good material for steak...

In addition, it can also be sliced ​​and stir-fried, but Erina's "stir-fried meat with stick vegetables" is not...

"Huh? This beef is fried first, then cut into slices, and then fried together with the sliced ​​vegetables! It has the taste of fried steak, and at the same time, it has the delicious aroma of stir-frying!"

"That's right, because the steak needs to be fried thoroughly first, and then stir-fried... Even the 'cucumber meat' that is not easy to age, you must master the heat well..."

"Originally, Western cuisine relies more on ovens and other indirect heating equipment, so the degree of emphasis on heat is generally weaker than that of Chinese cuisine. After Dacheng's "firework spirit" is also one of their obstacles... I also thought before This would be her weakness from the Yuanyue family, unexpectedly..."

"The heat of this great dish is just right, it should be served with steak slices..."

"Although it's a stir-fried dish, it doesn't make people feel greasy, especially the refreshing taste of Bangcai, which is perfectly combined with the crispy and chewy texture of steak!"

"Even if there are no other condiments, I feel like I can eat a whole plate!"

A few judges kept chopping their chopsticks, and after a while, the small portion of "stir-fried meat with stick vegetables" in front of each of them was wiped out...

And at this moment, what Erina presented for the third time seemed to be the last dish she had prepared, and it looked like dessert?

On the plate in front of each judge, Erina put half a papaya, and the flesh and seeds in the center of the papaya have been dug out, and now there is a white, crystal-clear ingredient like lychee meat...

"This is... Snow Hammer Cream, right?" Lei Yu said.

"That's right, the authentic Changbai Mountain snow clam... papaya snow clam, please taste it!" Erina said.

Xueha ointment, also known as Xueha Oil, Hashimembrane Oil, is the fat in the body of female Xueha, near the fallopian tubes, and belongs to the long-established and precious food tonic Chinese medicine!

Snow clam, also known as "Chinese forest frog", grows in the Changbai Mountain area, and is known as the "Four Mountain Treasures" together with the flower-tailed hen called "Flying Dragon", Hericium erinaceus, and bear's paw.

As a dry product, Xueha Cream has a strong foaming property, and the Xueha Cream filled with half a papaya pulp is estimated to weigh only three to five grams when dried...

"Haha, papaya snow clam? It's a waste to give us these old things to eat!" Master Xie teased.

Xueha ointment does not contain cholesterol, but it is rich in high-quality fatty acids and has the effect of improving estrogen secretion. It is considered to be an ingredient with beauty effects, and together with papaya, which is considered to be able to enlarge breasts... Obviously, it is biased towards women Edible desserts!

"No, as long as you can taste its deliciousness and get the satisfaction from the heart, it can't be considered a waste." Lin Yi said.

Master Xie also nodded: "That's right, that's right, I think I can take care of myself!" He touched his old faces all around as he spoke!

Speaking of several judges, they also picked up the dessert spoons and tasted the snow clam in the papaya...

I don't know if it was a hallucination, but everyone noticed that the faces of the five judges seemed to have shy expressions like girls flashing across them!

Ah, at least Master Xie's is definitely not a hallucination!

Others just passed by in a flash, but Master Xie has been shy after tasting it!

That's right, instead of entering the muscle-exploding mode, she has become shy, and her skin has obviously improved a lot, with a faint feeling of firmness and whiteness?

"The sweetness rippling in my mouth seems to have stimulated the collagen in my youth! Sure enough, boys just want to be... smooth!" Master Xie shouted inexplicably.

But Liu Kui said in amazement: "This, this is... a mutated 'clothes torn'! Some dishes with special effects will make the corresponding gourmet energy possessed by the 'clothes torn' person, in another form Different forms are displayed! Has it already reached this level?"

The other judges, although not as obvious as "the mutated clothes are torn", but shyness flashed across their faces...

"This Xueha ointment is processed perfectly, and the fishy smell is completely eliminated!"

"That's right, it should be in the middle of soaking the hair, so I picked out the black film, and blanched it with ginger slices and snow clam paste at the same time..."

"More than that, after changing the water for the last time, you should still be soaking in the clear water, and ordered a small amount of white wine!"

"After stewing with rock sugar, goji berries... and honey, additional papaya cubes and papaya juice were added, and finally, one piece of snow clam paste that was soaked and formed into a small ball was taken out, and the whole papaya was added middle!"

"It should be added to the whole papaya at the end, and then steamed over water, so that the fragrance of snow clams and papaya, as well as the sweetness in it, can be fully integrated into the unique..."

Looking at the expressions of the judges, the Liu family was nervous for a while, but they were also puzzled. How did these three seemingly unrelated dishes solve the problem?

What does it have to do with "Chinese Heroes"?
