Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Chapter 277

“This … is completely different from the ramen before tasting!”

“Yes, what the judges look like … I tried” soy sauce ramen “before, and I did n’t have such a strong appetite …”

“How is it possible? Yachee is not a special ramen chef. Isn’t this the ramen she created these days? Is it …”

“Although grape prawns are expensive, it is impossible for those foodies to cause such an effect?”

It ’s not that Erina ’s “red soup ramen” really finished the calamus “soy sauce ramen”, but because the hot and sour taste on the one hand stimulated the appetite, on the other hand, the calamus “soy sauce ramen” had many judges present. They can often eat similar flavors, and they have all gone to Tokyo to taste the craftsmanship of the true “Sunbird Ramen”, and they will naturally not lose their gaze because of the “semi-complete version” of the calamus.

The audience on the floor had a lot of discussions, and the “tasting” of the judges on the field finally came to an end …

There were red lights on each head, and the whole person was filled with a warm smile.

But at the same time, it was also discussed about the “red soup ramen” of Erina.

“‘Spicy’ and ‘sour’ are indeed the taste of Thailand’s Chaotian pepper and lime juice, very similar to the ‘Dongyin Gongtang’ in Southeast Asia, but … compared to the ‘Dongyin Gongtang’, the ‘fishy’ is more effective effect!”

“Yes, although” fishy “alone is one of the odors of ingredients, in theory, in addition to suppressing and removing odors, there are also ways to use” guide “. Like in the previous” bear meat ramen “, The smell of bear meat is actually ‘guided’ part, but it makes the food more full and wild. “

“In the ordinary” Dongyin Gong soup “, although it is also sour, spicy and the smell of shrimp coexists, it is more biased. The sour and spicy, overwhelming the smell of shrimp, and this” red soup “, But it’s perfect to blend the smelly and hot and sour flavor into one! “

“Generally speaking, shrimp is not suitable as a soup ingredient. Southeast Asia’s” Dong Yin Gong soup “is a very rare and famous shrimp soup, but …”

“But it’s obviously different from this red soup! It’s a bit … some of the meaning of the soup? Although the” Dongyin Gong soup “is also called” soup “, there is no” boil “process.”

The judges could not help but be puzzled. Usually, “Dong Yin Gong soup” is just cooked with ingredients and then drizzled with the cooked seasoning soup, or after the soup is cooked, add the ingredients for a few minutes and shrimp When the ingredients are cooked, they are served out.

It is very different from the broth that is cooked for a long time.

“Huh? That’s right! This grape shrimp doesn’t look like it’s been boiled for a long time …” said a balding judge who grabbed few hairs.

Just as Erina showed the expression of the queen and an expression of “you really don’t understand anything”, Dojima Silver said, “It’s a Vietnamese big head shrimp.”

“What? This is indeed grape shrimp … Ah! What Mr. Dojima said is that it is Vietnamese big head shrimp that cooks the soup?” The balding judges only reacted.

Asai frowned and said: “The shrimp head of Vietnamese big head shrimp, because the taste of shrimp head is particularly wonderful, is sometimes used to season seafood broth. My family also has a soup base seasoned with shrimp head, but …”

“Yes, this” red soup “is not just as simple as seasoning, but a shrimp head soup made with shrimp head as the main material! The sour and spicy flavor is the last preparation, while other spices are always and a lot Cook the shrimp heads together! “Said Dojima Yin.

“Huh? But, but … using shrimp head as the main ingredient, the soup will taste …”

“I understand what you mean. Indeed, the soup tastes fishy, ​​astringent, and bitter … but these are not insurmountable, it is what you can’t do that ordinary people can call it” excellent “, isn’t it? The progress of the world is also the result of constant cooking and accomplishing things that others cannot do … “said Dojima Yin.

However, Dojima Yinxuan shook his head immediately: “But this probably does not symbolize the progress of the cooking world? It is estimated that only the owner of the” God’s Tongue “can do this kind of thing.”

At the same time, Dojima Silver also said in his heart: And it is still the “strengthened” tongue!

In his previous impression, Erina ’s “God ’s Tongue” was not as strong.

That ’s right, the more meticulous understanding of culinary skills, Dojima Silver, is clear after just tasting. The reason why Erina was able to make such a soup is not because of the improvement of cooking skills, but because of “ The ability of “God’s Tongue” has been improved.

“The rich fishy smell, as well as the sour and spicy taste, are perfectly combined … To be honest, I don’t really like Southeast Asian cuisine, but this time I really feel in this ‘red soup ramen’ It’s ‘happiness’! “

“Indeed, I haven’t been like this for a long time, because I tasted spicy food, and I was sweating …”

There were even judges at this time, and the reluctant ones tasted a few more!

Not only for the reason of deliciousness, but also for the students of Yuanyue Academy, most of the ramen of the players are getting tired of eating, and they can eat the “full version” at any time in Sapporo, not what they made. A very young “reprint” …

Even the “soy sauce ramen” of the calamus can be tasted in just one trip to Tokyo.

But Erina ’s ramen is now missed, and it ’s almost impossible to taste afterwards …

And now it’s the final stage of the competition, only Liu Pengxing hasn’t presented the ramen yet, so Nono no longer reminds the judges to pay attention to the amount of food.

However, Dojima said: “I suggest that you save some stomach space a little bit yourself! … Cooking sometimes brings unexpected surprises, doesn’t it?”

“Well? It’s rare to see Mr. Dojima being so frank about a younger man.” Asai moved.

He naturally heard that the secret of Dojima was that he was very optimistic about the last player …

This level of optimism is even more than that of Takahashi Rina who has a “god tongue”!

“Mr. Asai just called me Dojima.” Dojima didn’t explain anything else.

And at this time, the voice of Nono asking the judges to score has already sounded …

“96 points! Another 96 points! Six judges gave a perfect score! Rare super high scores in previous competitions … tied with the former Shiratori Iris! Is it the champion of the” Sapporo Ramen Competition “, Are you going to vote by voting? Or are you tied for the championship? “Nono tried hard to stir up the atmosphere.

According to the rules of the competition, if the highest score is two or more, the jury will enter the voting stage, but because the judges are ten, they may still be tied. If so, the two will tie for the championship.

However, this extremely low probability situation has not happened for a long time.

Sometimes even the judges give the same score to the two players, most of them are inclined.

For example, at the beginning, the judges who selected the full score given to Fujie and others early, and then obviously regret it, because the ramen of Iris and Erina made them feel better than the ramen of Fujie and others.

Seeing this score, Erina and Calamus both looked stiff at the same time, and neither seemed to accept this result …

Among the four judges who did not give Erina a full score at this time, there are still Dojima Silver and Asai!

Of course, the two of them are not obsessive-compulsive disorder, they must avoid the full score, but because there is an essential difference between 10 and 9 points, it seems that Dojima Silver and Asai still think that they are now playing the level, It is not “perfect” among ramen chefs under the age of 20, or they have higher expectations for “perfect”.

One of the other two judges who did not give Erina a full score coincided with the judge who also gave the calamus 9 points, but the last one, who gave the calamus full marks before, was the bald …

And Erina now stared mainly at him, and explained to her baldness: “Yes, Miss Erina ’s red soup ramen is also delicious, but … the light red color of the ramen itself is due to the addition of tomato juice when making noodles. Right? In order to bring the taste of fruit acid to the ramen itself, the taste of the ramen and the red soup will be better, and the combination will not be abrupt …

Although this idea is very good, I still feel that the taste of tomato juice, after being incorporated into the ramen, is not in harmony with the taste. “

At this time, many players with higher serial numbers began to gossip. How should the bet about Erina and Iris be counted …

Although they were not in Division 1 during the preliminaries, they also heard about the two women’s gambling. At this time, they began to be curious. If they really tied for the championship in the end, how would this bet date be counted?

Will both parties pay “chips”?

Although it has nothing to do with the “onlookers”, it is fun to be able to see the excitement … for example, Miss Erina to challenge the “big stomach king” or something!

As for the “seed players” in the first division, they were still immersed in the “Taishan pressure” twice.

Originally, I wanted to use “beating the Japanese bird ramen” to improve the reputation of my ramen restaurant, but I was killed by a high score. Afterwards, I was even crushed once with a high score by Erina who was not a professional ramen chef. Still immersed in “lost”.

I can’t help but have the idea of ​​”Is talent so important” in mind, talented cooks can have outstanding development in all aspects, and “not talented”, even with the help of family secret recipes, Being defeated by people in their own areas …

In particular, many young ramen chefs at 6-70 are still “beaten” by a considerable number of Yuanyue students!

This is not obvious compared to the players in the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s, because there is also preparation for the bottom anyway, it is no different from being pressed by oneself and by others.

“Mr. Asai, do you want to say something?” Seeing this scene, the bald judges said with some worry.

“It’s okay, just give it to the” adult “in their own family. This is also a thing that many” ordinary “cooks must experience. Early experience may not be a bad thing for them.” Asai said.

Nono’s voice also sounded at this time: “The next one is invited next! The ninth seat of the ten masters of Yuanyue students! At the same time, Liu Pengxing, a classmate who is going to have dinner with me tonight! A Xing come on, sister Waiting for you at night! “

Originally still arguing about how to count the gamble, Erina and Iris suddenly looked at Liu Pengxing …

Erina looked like a sword, and Calamus looked disgusted, as if she was looking abnormal.

At the same time, there are several “eyes like swords”, as well as a number of eyes like fire (fire of jealousy) …

With great pressure, Liu Pengxing pushed the dining car to the judges’ seats, and the awe-inspiring ten-plate “fried noodles” on it!

That’s right, not only fried noodles, but also simple fried noodles … without sauces and side dishes!

“Welcome everyone to taste, my” 100 fried noodles “!” Liu Pengxing placed ten dishes of monotonous fried noodles before the judges.

“Huh? Is this fried noodles … well, tentatively fried noodles.”

Thinking of Liu Pengxing’s “fried noodles” before, the judges pinched their noses very hard to admit that they were “fried noodles”.

However, when other players and spectators heard Liu Pengxing’s name, they were somewhat dissatisfied and some judges frowned.

“Hundreds of fried noodles? What do you mean? Does he think he can cover the 100 ramen restaurants on Ramen Street No. 1?”

“This … should be just a coincidence? Or something else …”

“Oh, what else can I say! I think he despised us Sapporo Ramen Street!”

“Then what can you do? No matter how you look at the championship this time, it’s already out of our share …”

That’s right, when I mention “100 schools” on this occasion, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the 100 ramen restaurants on Sapporo’s No. 1 Ramen Street, symbolizing the holy place of Sapporo ramen …

A master of the Sapporo Ramen Street among the judges couldn’t help but ask: “Hundred fried noodles? Is there any special meaning?”

“Well, everyone knows after tasting, if it means the meaning … it should be a ‘tribute’!” Liu Pengxing said.

Even if some of the judges are not professional foodies, they also understand the rules. For the time being, they are no longer entangled in this issue. Instead, they are starting to pay attention to ramen … No, it is fried noodles themselves.

“However, fried noodles are usually divided into two main genres:” fried noodles with sauce and side dishes “, and” fried noodles with sauce side dishes “? But … so Monotonous fried noodles are really rare. “The bald judges said.

“Wait, this noodle is also a bit thick for fried noodles, right?” Said another judge with a bunch of noodles.

Indeed, Liu Pengxing’s fried noodles, each one looks very thick … not the wide type, but thick!

“But it is very important for the fried noodles, but it is very well grasped! It can be seen from this golden color, and … the whole plate is of this color, and it can be seen that it is so superb in terms of uniformity … … cough, I mean a powerful fireworker! “

If it is not because of the golden luster of the fried noodles, and the near-perfect color integration, I am afraid the judges must doubt that such thick noodles are really fried!

But thinking of Liu Pengxing ’s way of making fried noodles, saying that they are “superb”, the judges still accept some things, so I used the inexplicable “powerful” as a rhetoric …

“So … let’s try it!”

“Well, the taste of this big root is really full.”

“Although it is fried noodles, the control of fire and oil makes people feel less greasy at the entrance!”

“It turns out that when the noodles are rotating, the oil brushed on them becomes even and penetrates under the centrifugal force!”

“But even so, fried noodles without sauces and side dishes … wait! This, this is …”

“This rich flavor …”

What surprised the audience and the other players was that the judges were stunned after they tasted the fried noodles that should have been “no taste”.

“It’s sauce! It turns out that the sauce is really in the noodles!”

“And it’s not thick noodles at all, but thin noodles rolled into spiral tubes with sauce and finely chopped side dishes …”

The judge judged the unexpected sauce and blasted it in his mouth. He immediately cut the noodles in front of him and observed them.

That’s right, when the “dense smoke” is densely covered and everyone can’t see the inside, Liu Pengxing wraps the noodles in a spiral shape, and all the sauces prepared before and mixed with various side dishes are also rolled Go in.

Finally, when it was steamed in the second stage, it was completely sealed …

And the sauce is enclosed in it, and it is heated again, so that the diners can feel the “cracking” of this sauce to the greatest extent when tasting!

As the judges continued to enjoy the feeling that the sauce was bursting in their mouths, Asai suddenly froze: “Wait, I seem to …”

He said that he specially picked up a noodle, sucked it up in his mouth, and after chewing it carefully, changed another one.

“What’s wrong? Old friend.”

“Sure enough! You taste each fried noodle separately! The taste and taste are the same!” Asai said.

“What … oh! Sure enough!”

“No, how do I feel this taste a bit familiar?”

“Ah! It’s a bit like” Hot Ramen “in my family …”

“Huh? This is similar to Ikezawa’s” Chicken Heart Ramen “. I just tasted his boy’s” Chicken Heart Ramen “presented during the game!”

“This, this root should be …”

At the prompt of Asai, everyone found that every fried noodle seems to be able to find the signature noodle of the corresponding ramen restaurant in Sapporo Ramen Street!

Only then did the judges react. In the previous three days, Liu Pengxing “swept” once in the Sapporo Ramen Street.

Taste the signature noodles of each house, and the sauce in these fried noodles exactly mimics the taste of each kind of ramen!

“I remembered! It wasn’t that there were rumors before. In the year of Yuanyue, did another owner of” Tongue of God “appear? Is the rumors true? And is it … Liu Pengxing?”

“Yes! If I say that, I think of it …”

“Although it may be said that it is only six or seven points of” similar “taste, but it has been grasped in the essence! The most important thing is that our ramen uses soup, but he uses sauce to simulate A little bit of essence! “Said the balding judge.

“Wait, not only that! Don’t be paralyzed by the taste, pay attention to the taste of each noodle!” Asai said suddenly.

“Taste? Because of the uniformity of the heat, the taste is so dare … not right! The taste of this ‘big bone ramen’ feels like thin noodles, this kind of ‘garlic ramen’ taste, but some like wide … I understand! Is it the ramen corresponding to them? Does the noodles selected have a similar taste? “

Every different ramen in each ramen restaurant will also be equipped with noodles of different thickness, lubricity and toughness. Now everyone in Liu Pengxing ’s fried noodles actually notices this difference in taste … …

“Why is this? The noodles are obviously the same … Wait a minute, these noodles are … scored!”

The judges have observed this ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ If you take a closer look at these fried noodles, you will find that they have different notches on them, which also makes the noodles taste different.

After the spiral overlaps, it will show vertical scores, which will make the noodle entrance more convenient and smoother to eat. Lateral scores will make the entrance more obstructed and feel rougher. If you make a score like a buffer zone, it will look harder …

That’s right, this is the carving carved when the noodles were hung on the glass wall and Liu Pengxing used an out blade and a carving knife to transfer the noodles from the bar to the chopping board!

“With these alone, has the taste changed?”

“The noodles were made by him on the spot … That is to say, in a short time, every noodle has been left with nicks all over it. This kind of knife skill … is incredible!”

“I know! It was when his countertop was blocked by the noodles that were turned around, he completed this carving …”

And this technique of changing the texture of the noodles by changing the appearance of the noodles comes from the “Chinese Yifan” period, another “Liu Pengxing” Ganghe fried noodles … (to be continued.):
