Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

“Full duck oil … isn’t it greasy?” Liu Pengyuan said looking at the duck meat in front of the judges in the audience.

After the two teams of Yuanyue entered the main game, all the students of the college were arranged to study outside the school in New Yorktown. When there was a game, they arranged tickets for everyone.

At this time, the food presented by Paul looks like a normal western food plate, with a golden duck leg, surrounded by mushrooms, small potatoes, green onions as side dishes …

But not long ago, everyone saw that this piece of duck leg was still cooked in oil!

“This is ‘French oil-sealed duck leg meat’, which is not a rare new dish. ‘Oil seal’ is more common in French cuisine. If the heat of ‘fried’ in the end is enough, it can weaken the previous greasy feeling. “Yu Ji said.

She was originally a player of the third team of Yuanyue, but because the third team has been eliminated, although the game side has reserved a special viewing area for them, but Yuji still likes to come and squeeze the ordinary auditorium with everyone.

“But what does this dish have to do with the title ‘winter’? Duck’s words … There are no restrictions in the mature season. What you insist on is also eaten in the summer and autumn seasons, which is more in line with health sciences?” Ogo and Shoji doubted. .

Shinji Marui heard a pair of glasses and said, “Have the two of you slept again in the history class? This recipe, or” oil seal “, was originally a Western cuisine that preserves meat in winter. a method!”

“Save meat? Save with oil?”

“Yes, after slaughtering or the death of poultry, use some of the fat in it to refine the oil, and then use the oil to cook the meat on a low fire. Once it is done, just keep the meat in its own oil and refrigerate it slightly. You can save most of the winter. “Shan Er said.

But now the “oil seal” is no longer a means of preserving ingredients, but a unique way of cooking. This transformation is very similar to the “sushi” in Japanese cuisine!

Obviously, the direction Paul chose to solve the problem of “winter” is the cooking method derived from the ancient way of preserving ingredients in winter …

At first, Paul divided the fat portion of the duck meat and boiled it in the same amount of water until the water evaporated completely. The duck fat has been “refined” into golden duck oil. After filtering, it is used This raw duck oil, which is the same as duck leg meat, is cooked over low heat.

Immediately after the duck leg was cut, it was first marinated with the previously adjusted spices. In order to save the marinating time, Paul also used the “massage” method of duck leg …

After that, put the marinated duck leg meat into the duck oil that has not passed through itself, and slowly “dip” the duck leg meat with a small fire!

The temperature should be maintained around the boiling point of water, which means that the “oil” will not be boiled from beginning to end …

In modern cuisine, in fact, directly use the oven to heat the container with duck oil that has not passed the duck legs, which can mature the duck legs faster.

But for the best taste and taste experience, Paul slowly dipped the duck leg meat in oil with a small fire!

And after cooking, it still keeps warming in the oil until the temperature drops to only the warm level, then take out and fry in a pan, until it has the golden color now …

The “oil seal” series of dishes is very common in French cuisine, but since it is made by Paul, it is naturally not that simple!

Whether it is the conditioning of spices, the control of oil temperature, or the “fried” part that shows its skills at the end, it is impeccable … No, to be precise, it should be described as amazing.

In the end, the fried duck leg meat doesn’t look greasy at all!

“It does look like the judges, not only does it not feel greasy, but it makes people feel appetizing …” Ryoko said.

“Yes, it’s still far away from sending judges, but I seem to be here, and I can hear the crunchy sound of creak!” You Ji said, and she closed her ears.

Of course it cannot be really heard … otherwise the judges are too loud to eat!

But when the judges bit the crispy duck leg skin, the crispy taste spread completely in the mouth, followed by the expression on the face and the physical movements made by the body instinctively, which is reminiscent of ” The skin of this duck must be really crispy! “

“First, it was heated in hot oil for two hours, and then the duck meat was cooked in the original sealing oil. How tender will this duck meat be?” Zhao Er swallowed.

“Not only is it tender! The duck leg meat itself is a relatively active part of the duck meat, and the initial marinating process itself will reduce the moisture of the duck leg meat. Later, after the duck leg meat is removed from the duck oil, There is also a special short-term drying in the oven, which will enhance the chewyness of the duck leg … “Yi Sehui sees more.

Yi Sehui did not participate in “All? Blue”, but “stayed behind” the ten outstanding council in Yuanyue.

Although Yuanyue 3 team had invited him, this bian smiled tai, apparently ambitious, did not accept the invitation of Yuanyue 3 team, but hoped to have his own team after graduation And, after having a real chance to advance into the race, sign up for yourself!

In the same way, there are still those who have rejected Oda Shinana for a long time.

“More than that! When President Paul marinated the duck leg meat, the pressing method used was not only to speed up the marinating effect, but also a way of ‘massage of ingredients’! According to his method, add three points of chewing Jin’er is also normal, “Sugiyama Ji of the acupuncture family interjected.

“Materials manipulation? Isn’t that the skills of some ancient families in the civilized circle of Chinese cuisine? Does President Paul still understand this?” Marui Jingji wondered.

Just like the Shanshan family is now proficient in acupuncture and moxibustion for ingredients, there are also a few niche heritages, with the skills to change the quality of meat by massage for ingredients!

But how can Paul get this stunt?

This is not an eclectic heart in itself, you can learn if you want to learn …

“I also know some friends who have mastered the cooking skills derived from” Tuina “, and the Shanshan family also has some scattered ingredients and massage skills, but it is not as complete as the acupuncture skills, so it is not the main theme of our Shanshan family … Paul The president ’s method seems to be somewhat different from massage stunts. It may be some kind of stunt he has figured out, but the principle is very similar to the ingredients massage. “Sugiyama said.

“It’s reasonable to say that … with President Paul’s skills, it’s not surprising that he can develop a similar stunt by himself …”

Just the right marinade, the mellow flavor of the duck oil, and the control of the heat when Paul is finally fried, so that the duck legs will not look very greasy, but the skin is crispy, and the duck meat is still carried in the softness. Chew!

Just after Liu Pengxing and Paul also exchanged dishes, the judges on the other side were finally freed from Paul’s “Mage Oil Seal Duck Leg”.

At the same time, the “black and white” staff came to Liu Pengxing and asked whether to submit the food. Liu Pengxing made a “please” gesture.

Although Liu Pengxing can now see some situations other than “dark cooking showdown”, they all show black and white colors. Even if outsiders enter the scope of “dark cooking showdown”, Liu Pengxing has a style of himself and they are not in the same style. a feeling of……

Even Liu Pengxing felt that if he ran into each other now, the two would pass directly through …

Of course, Liu Pengxing does not want to make any big news, and ordinary people are not suitable for knowing what “catastrophe” or “dark cooking showdown” is, so try to avoid “spiritual events” as much as possible.

Several staff members presented the dishes to the judges, but Liu Pengxing didn’t mean to go over at all. Instead, he and Paul looked at each other, each with their dishes in front of them.

The five judges just rolled their eyes at this. After all, they changed to any cook and chose between “exchanging food with Paul” and “concerning the taste of the judges.” Most of them will choose the former, so they do n’t think there is any. What a strange …

Except for knowing the “Great Cataclysm”, and guessing some Xianzuoweimen, the others did not notice the vision on the field, and understood the current state of Paul and Liu Pengxing as an older chef. Master of Arts, appreciation of new generations.

No, some people seem to see what!

“Xiao Linzi, did you find something is wrong on the field?” Xie Yunlong whispered to Lin Yi around him.

Most people obviously can’t understand why this bald old man in beach pants, flower shirt and frog mirror would sit next to Speaker Lin Yi of the Dragon Chef Union …

If it was n’t for yesterday, Jie Yunlong tried his hand and defeated one of the selected players of the “Italian Royal Cooking Team” in the individual game, it is estimated that everyone must now question that the Dragon Chef Alliance has made such a look unreliable. Is the old man being a regular player, is it to mock other teams!

“What’s wrong? I didn’t see it … The American Cuisine Development Association still values ​​the right to hold this event. I have watched it for a long time, but I can’t pick out anything wrong.” Lin Yi was puzzled by Master Jie’s question.

“I’m not talking about this, I’m talking about … that’s right! Do you feel it, I’m, exactly, us, and it’s a bit unsightly to watch that kid recently?” Xie Yunlong said, pointing at Liu Pengxing.

“Not even more, don’t you think he’s very optimistic? I also think this guy is good. His cooking is more mature than a few months ago.” Lin Yi said of course.

But he didn’t realize it himself, with a touch of impatience in his tone …

Because the impact of the “curse” on them is subtle, unless they are directly facing Liu Pengxing like Paul, they will not notice a small change in their mentality themselves!

For example, Lin Yi didn’t look at Liu Pengxing’s discomfort, but he didn’t notice that he looked at Liu Pengxing’s discomfort.

“…” Xie Yunlong also felt this at this time.

But at the same time, I felt that there was a voice in my heart, telling myself that it was normal …

“It’s normal … Well … wait … not normal … very normal … it seems a bit wrong …” Xie Yunlong himself got entangled.

Maybe it ’s because they have lived too long, as in folklore, people who are too old and too young can see something that ordinary people ca n’t see, but in this world, folklore is based on the elderly I have eaten a lot in my life, so I can see something unusual …

Of course, the more likely reason is the essence of the “curse”. After all, it is the extinct Neanderthals, and Jie Yunlong, who inherited all the inheritance of the Bai Luo family, has the “heart of comfort”. The deceased has the function of overcomfort and appeasement.

The so-called “pacification of the dead” refers to the “creatures” that have transformed life forms and cannot affect normal creatures.

Although the life form of the entire Neanderthal group has changed, so just Jie Yunlong’s “comfort” spirit is not enough to completely appease, but he has made himself immune to the effects of some “curses” and began to realize that Your “wrong”.

At this time, the judges were also discussing. A judge from Michelin, watching Liu Pengxing ’s food, asked another yellow judge who seemed to be from the Dragon Chef Union: “Mr. Qiao, you understand this’ barbecue. ‘Does it have anything to do with this topic’ Winter ‘? If you can’t see it, you can only ask him to explain it. “

Indeed, the dish presented by Liu Pengxing is a “barbecue” that is chopped and stuffed with pork, steamed in a bamboo tube, and then grilled on charcoal fire. There is no such dish in Chinese cuisine, and pork no matter from the perspective of food supplement, From the perspective of maturity, it is not a winter ingredient!

“It’s ‘Suihan Sanyou’! Isn’t the name that Pleiades Liu filled in before, also written ‘Sanyou barbecue’?” Said the judge with the surname Qiao.

“Three Friends of Winter?”

“Even the three plants that maintain their evergreen in winter, in our culture, are called ‘year-old three friends’. They are ‘pine’, which means evergreen, and ‘bamboo’, which symbolizes a gentleman, and is known as ‘Plum’, a symbol of high purity! “

“Pine, bamboo, plum … Obviously bamboo was used before, and now it is a pine wood dish that carries the barbecue, what about ‘mei’?”

The judge also specially looked at the barbecue in front of her, and seemed to want to find the trace of “Mei”.

“The pork is made from pork front trough, and pork front trough is also known as” plum meat “in Chinese cuisine.”

“Wait, I admit‘ bamboo ’and‘ ume ’, but it ’s a little too far-fetched to use pine instead of plates.”

“No, it’s not … I think the reason why I use wooden pallets is not to make mysterious things, nor to force the relationship with‘ loose ’, but to prevent the oil from roasting!”

“Yes, usually pork is rarely used for grilling, because after the pork is roasted raw, the meat will be hard and the taste will be very bad … And the pork filling used by the” Sanyou Barbecue “not only adds spices, but also balances the taste. It is bound with edible glycerin, but this way, oil will inevitably leak out after roasting. If you use a common plate, it will make the barbecue taste greasy, and using a wooden tray that can absorb oil can avoid this. “

“Okay, let’s try it. How does this” Three Friends BBQ “compare to President Paul’s” oil-sealed duck leg “! It’s all meat, and it’s more convenient to compare …”

The five judges said that they each picked up a piece of “Sanyou barbecue” with their chopsticks or with a fork, and put it in their mouths.

At the same time, Liu Pengxing has also cut a small piece of duck leg meat into the entrance, and Paul also put a “three friends barbecue” entrance …

Suddenly in Liu Pengxing’s brain filling, he was like a baby, curled up wrapped in warm grease, the warm grease continued to provide himself with energy and essence, and a burst of peace of mind hit my heart.

On the other side, Paul is in his mind, “seeing” the twilight snow in the winter evening, the tall pine trees, the straight green bamboo, and the high-purity plum blossoms. The three seem to be fighters against the cold in the severe winter. Standing proudly in the snow …

One is a gentle package, the other is a fierce conflict …

Two dishes that are diametrically opposed!

Not only in the “ideal”, Liu Pengxing also used a lot of “spices” to flavor, and the taste was more offensive than “oil-sealed duck legs”.

At the same time, the judges first tasted the “oil-sealed duck leg”. The “oil-sealed duck leg” was mellow and tender, which gave the judges a sense of fullness. At this time, the pungent taste of “Sanyou barbecue” , Just “punctured” this layer of fullness, so that its flavor has a place to rely on …

As mentioned before, usually in the “decision of the halberd”, because of the need to compare the dishes, the dishes with the irritating taste are usually more advantageous.

It is for this reason that Jiuzhao Zhaoji loves spicy dishes …

Liu Pengxing has already bet everything for this cooking showdown, even passively taking “human recipes” as a bet!

Therefore, Liu Pengxing’s recipe is naturally “everything he uses.” He, who often eats halberds in the distant moon, specially chose a recipe suitable for confrontation.

On the contrary, Paul hadn’t seen Liu Pengxing who “has already had dragon jade dragon pot” before this, so in the subconscious mind, the hostility towards him is also very limited.

The recipe is what he thought of before the game. Paul holds his predecessor status. Of course, he will not specifically choose a targeted recipe for some advantage. And the degree of seriousness is far less than Liu Pengxing!

Although “inexplicable” began to be interested in the jade dragon pot, and as a role model of Paul, Paul will no longer release the water because of underestimating the other party when preparing the recipe, but there is no “desperate” posture like Liu Pengxing …

Therefore, although there is a gap between the cooking skills of the two people in the end, under different psychological conditions, and because of the grammatical nature of the recipes of both sides, this gap has been narrowed!

In the end, it should be said that Liu Pengxing is considered to be super-level play, but Paul is a bit lacking in courage. In the end, if the two people ’s dishes are rated by the system, they are all at the peak of the Lin level, close to the Dragon level but not up to the Dragon level!

After all, even Chef Long, not every dish is all “Dragon” …

Feeling as if he was wrapped in warm grease, Liu Pengxing suddenly remembered the taste of his food. The power of pine, bamboo, and plum broke out in sequence, and finally released Liu Pengxing from the warm grease.

At the same time, Liu Pengxing also opened his eyes with sweat over his head. At this time, I don’t know how long it has been since I tasted Paul’s food …

However, Pleiades Liu found that the space outside the surrounding field can already be seen and heard normally!

The first one I saw was, of course, Paul in front of him. At this time, there was a tangled, even slightly painful look on his face, and his face was also pale, and he also sweated on the top of his head.

“Beautiful and delicious!” Paul finally fainted after sighing!

At the same time, the results of the five judges have also come out …

Four to one, Pleiades Liu wins!

The moment the result came out, the audience even quieted down.

Therefore, before this, even the students of Yuanyue Academy who counted half of the family members of Liu Pengxing were only looking forward to as much as possible. Their “active strongest” could lose in the hands of the president of the Michelin Food Association. How pretty …

The vast majority of viewers apparently did not think in advance that Liu Pengxing has the possibility of winning. Even in the most “outrageous” pre-match predictions, he only assumed that the “Germinate team” could be in front of the “Michelin Gourmet Federation representative team” After the individual competition, I got the “1: 2” score, and then I was upset in the team competition …

Of course, even this kind of speculation has been rejected as an “impossible event” by most people.

However, Pleiades Liu actually defeated Paul in front!

Not to mention the audience, even the players of the “Germinate team” … Fortunately, at this time, the cooking of the three groups of confrontation has been completed, otherwise the glasses of the Four Palaces will fall into the pot.

But the silence was only a moment, and then the scene suddenly became noisy ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Not because the audience thought about how to face this completely unimagined result, but because everyone found Paul and praised Liu Pengxing ’s The phrase “Sanyou barbecue” fainted …

Now the people of the Michelin Gourmet Federation, as well as the order-keeping staff, immediately gathered around and checked Paul’s situation with all his hands.

The result is even more surprising!

The reason why Paul fainted was … tired?

Yes, the result of the preliminary judgment is that everything in Paul’s body is normal, but there are signs of overwork and lack of energy!

Well, although this makes the reason of “big idea” unreasonable, you can still use the excuse “President Paul is in a bad state and participate in an illness” to persuade yourself to accept the famous Paul, and lose. The fact that Liu Pengxing was only 16 years old.

Even so, no one dares to deny Liu Pengxing’s record. Whether it is a variety of tabloids or repeated underground gambling games, at this time he silently raised Liu Pengxing’s strength estimate by two grades, although he did not mention the major cooking The Boss of the organization are the same, but they are also considered to be the same level as the “Far Moon Myth” Dojima Silver!
