Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Chapter 393 - Taste the showdown!



“Variety of Provencal stew … Variety of Benedict eggs … but what does this have to do with the” past “?” The judges looked at the two dishes in front of them and said doubtfully.

“No, I don’t think I need to call them to explain.”

“Yep?”

“I think their current performance is enough to show that their cooking meets the topic of” past “, don’t forget … The two players this time are a long-lost father-daughter relationship.”

“Isn’t” inaccurate “accurate? How can I remember the news that it was because of the alleged abuse of children that Cecilia thistle was deprived of custody rights?”

“Okay, these things have nothing to do with the current game … Well, looking at them, it should be two dishes related to the” past “, then we will taste it!”

Obviously, some of the judges have heard some rumors about the internal grievances of the Yuanyue Department. Although they have different understandings because of different tendencies in their hearts, since they are selected as “all? Blue” judges, they are facing At all times, they are able to achieve “candid”.

Even if you think there is a problem with the attitude of herba cut thistle to her daughter, if she really feels that the “Provence grilled dishes” are more delicious when she tastes the food, she will not be awarded points for herba cut thistle, and vice versa …

“What’s going on? How did you turn the camera? Damn it!” Liu Pengxing slapped the keyboard depressedly in front of the computer.

When the live broadcast was at its most tense, the camera turned to the judges!

In fact, this is also normal. At this point, it is time to submit the dish. The attention of ordinary people will be placed on the referee.

As for the results of Yachi cut thistle and Erina to taste each other ’s dishes, it is not important for others …

Only Liu Pengxing, who knew about the “dark cooking duel”, paid special attention to Erina.

At an angle not visible to the camera, Erina also began to taste “Provence grilled dishes”.

Eggplant first, Erina had to change her face when she tasted it: “Well? This taste … when … what is right! It was the first application of salt water on the kitchen knife!”

That’s right, Erina had tasted eggplant and sauce at the bottom of the plate in the eggplant.

The eggplant itself has a mild taste, a firm skin and tender meat, good at flavoring and oil absorption … Under the influence of the smoked color pepper, crushed tomato and a variety of spices, the light eggplant fragrance has no hint During the winding, a wonderful match was formed.

However, in addition, Erina has “super taste” and accurately judged that among the taste of eggplant, there is a “salty” flavor that is neither an eggplant nor a sauce!

Some people usually like to soak them in salt water when cooking eggplants, mainly to analyze part of the water of the eggplants, so as not to absorb too much oil, and also prevent the oxidation of the eggplants to blacken.

But now the taste is not too deep into the eggplant, so Erina decided to judge decisively that the shredded thistle was cut in a certain brine before cutting the eggplant.

This “salty” is not superfluous, and the eggplant with its mild taste, combined with a little bit of brine, is more in line with the sauce!

In fact, this is also the thing that Liu Pingxing, who previously painted Rina, and who looked at the visual effects purely on the air, suspected …

“Roasting” in this way avoids the confusion of “stew” in image and taste, but it has one of the biggest problems!

Unlike “Stew” where all the ingredients and soup are put together to cook, this “Provence Roasted Vegetable” is equivalent to using a sauce to match five kinds of fruits and vegetables.

Can this really be considered “delicate”?

You need to know that the taste and taste of the five kinds of fruits and vegetables are different. It is equivalent to using a key to open five different locks. Is it really tight?

Now the eggplant is equivalent to using other sauces that are slightly different from other fruits and vegetables …

This made Erina feel vaguely that it seems that the cooking of shiitake cut thistles is not only as simple as it looks on the surface!

After swallowing the eggplant, Erina did not stop but tasted the tomato again.

Because the tin foil was removed in the middle, all the ingredients in it were dry, and the tomato with the most moisture was obviously showing the sign of “dried tomato”, and the taste was also very different from the normal tomato.

The first reaction after the entrance … acid!

That’s right, the tomatoes selected by shiitake and cut thistle are obviously more sour than normal tomatoes, but this sour taste between mature and immature fills the gap between the taste of tomato itself and the sauce …

Erina seemed to realize something and immediately tasted the pumpkin.

sweet!

Pumpkin itself is a sweet and glutinous vegetable of the cucurbitaceous family. It is usually stored reasonably after picking, which will further ripen the pumpkin and increase its sweetness …

But the pumpkin that cuts thistle is obviously just picked soon!

The same is true for eggplants and tomatoes before. Erina could taste this and guessed the role of “spiritual reservoir”.

The newly picked pumpkins are so sweet … Honey pumpkins! Erina responded immediately.

Mimimoto pumpkin is a large pumpkin species. It is a hybrid product. It has a different shape from ordinary pumpkins. It usually takes the shape of a gourd. Before this, the cut out thistle was a pumpkin block instead of a whole pumpkin. Erina has not responded yet. Come here.

The biggest feature of the honey pumpkin is just like its name … sweet!

In the pumpkin, it belongs to one and two sweetness.

It is this sweetness that perfectly matches the taste of pumpkin and sauce!

Erina also understood now …

This sauce is not only simple from “stew” to “roast”, but also a rare “five-flavor sauce”.

In other words, it only needs a prominent flavor as an introduction, it can exert different effects and harmonize with different ingredients!

Although Erina now tastes only three kinds, it has been speculated that the other two vegetables, lettuce and potatoes, must have similar effects …

And these five flavors are not chosen at random, they all belong to the basic taste of human taste buds!

In ancient Chinese cuisine, the concept of the five flavors was “sweet, sour, bitter, sweet, and salty”, also known as “sweet, sweet, bitter, and spicy.”

(Wuwei is actually a concept of traditional Chinese medicine, which refers specifically to the world in the novel.)

But later, with the combination of technology and cooking, along with human research on taste and taste buds, I gradually discovered that the “spicy” taste is actually a “pseudo taste” caused by touch …

It’s as if chili oil can make people feel “spicy” even when it is dripped on the skin without taste buds. “Spicy” is essentially tactile and can be said to be a kind of “pain”.

Therefore, for a long time, there are only four basic tastes recognized in the world, that is, “sweet, sweet, bitter and salty”.

However, the oriental cuisine faction usually thinks that it should have a taste, that is, “fresh” …

Including “Lamb Fang Zang Yu”, the first dish of classical Chinese cuisine, many Chinese dishes are based on “fresh”!

Until the early and middle ages of the “Great Fusion of World Cuisine” era, finally through a sufficient number of experiments, it was found that the “fresh” flavor is indeed an independent basic taste, so the new concept of five flavors recognized by the cooking industry for nearly 100 years has emerged. fresh.

The five kinds of fruits and vegetables used in thistle cut thistle obviously correspond to the new five flavors “sweet, sweet, bitter and salty”!

The flavor of lettuce itself has a bit of bitterness in the freshness. Unlike the “cucurbitacin”, which is toxic to the human body, the light bitterness of lettuce is derived from “lettin”, and it is not like the bitter melon “Leaf element” and “wild cucumber juice enzyme” are so aggressive …

The right bitterness just fits the combination of “five flavor sauce” and bitterness.

Potatoes, that is, potatoes, are often overlooked by their taste, which means “no taste.”

But in fact, potatoes are the representative of the “fresh” flavor in vegetables!

There are some differences between meat and fish, which can be eaten directly. It is difficult for potatoes to feel “fresh”, but when stewed with other meats, it can play a role of “fresh” … …

This is also the reason why potatoes are a good companion for stewed meat all year round.

And after roasted potatoes, the “fresh” blindness makes up the gap between the sauce and the potatoes!

It is similar to the “Provence stew” tasted by the barley-cut thistle that Erina had tasted, but it was completely different.

The “Provence stew” that used to cut thistles was a mixture of five flavors to squeeze the potential of childhood Erina, while the current “Provence roasted vegetables” also make good use of the five flavors, but they push the five flavors to the right s position.

Suddenly, Linina felt that compared to the five ingredients, the “five sauces” underneath were the main characters …

After all the five ingredients were tasted, the judges finally responded. This is not to use the sauce to set off the five ingredients, but to use the five ingredients to supplement the sauce separately!

The true meaning of this “Provencal grilled dish” can only be realized after tasting five flavors …

And Erina, who has “super taste”, already feels like she is going to be lost in the abyss of taste!

The extreme taste enjoyment of the “five flavors” staggered towards Erina, and finally compiled into a net, binding Einina’s spirit firmly.

Erina also did not forget what Linger said before. Understand this feeling, in addition to being close to the instinct of “delicious”, there are also reasons for “dark cooking duel”.

At this time, Erina was desperately thinking about the taste of her food …

It’s a very difficult feeling, because the cuisine of thistle cut thistle already contains “all” five flavors!

In theory, all the taste comes from the basic taste, but the shiitake cut thistle has already achieved the ultimate in the basic taste of the five flavors …

This “extreme” is not to say that the cuisine of the barley cut thistle is the most important thing, but it refers to the ultimate in the “enjoyment” of taste!

Dishes that are based on the same basic taste, if tasted continuously, one of the disadvantaged ones will be overshadowed, and the “demon” chef’s heart that cuts thistles just exacerbates this.

Now it is clear that the shiitake cut thistle just wants to use his five-flavored sauce to completely restrain Erina to play!

Yes, so far, among the dragon chefs that Erina and Liu Pengxing have fought against, chopped thistle is the most serious, the best to play, and the recipe selection is most suitable for use in the game.

Looking at the televised Liu Pengxing, at this time also guessed from the judges’ expressions, I guess the intention of the barley cut thistle and the mystery of the dishes …

“Sure enough, the” curse “guides the competition. The effect is completely different from the competition that really wants to participate, and the original intention completely coincides with the” curse “!” Liu Pengxing couldn’t help but give a blow.

I have been with Liu Pengxing and Erina before, and all the chefs I met with Dragon, in fact, did not make dragon dishes in the duel, but at most they were only close!

Dragon-level cuisine requires not only dragon-level skills but also dragon-level inspiration …

The pride of the dragon chefs makes them not use the ready-made recipes even when they are led by the “curse” against Liu Pengxing and Erina, and the ready-made dragon-level recipes may not be suitable.

Therefore, almost all of their dishes are created in a short time. Even Dragon Chef does not always have dragon-level inspiration.

And now the “five-flavor roasted vegetables” not only reaches the dragon level, but it is also particularly good at playing games!

Coupled with the bewitching effect of the “demon” chef’s heart, it can just make the appetite of the diners be stimulated by overdraft, and the cost after the overdraft is naturally borne by the opponent!

The judges were already preparing to taste the “Benedict Egg” of Erina.

“Um? This fried egg … the silky yolk, is not lower than the water egg?”

The judges could not help but watch the golden fluid egg yolk gushing out of the egg white as the knife fell out.

“There is still a slight oily scent outside … done using the instant high temperature?”

“Yes, it means that Erina’s grasp of the temptation of fried eggs has reached the most thorough level … obviously already has the spirit of firework.” The judge looked at the golden fluid egg yolk.

Either boiled eggs or boiled eggs, the moment when the yolk flows out is the most tempting!

The golden fluid flowed onto the Polish roll ham underneath, and the tender Parma ham was pressed slightly bent and then gently raised after flowing …

Although the roasted vegetables with the five-flavored sauce of the shredded thistle before gave the judges a sense of “the ultimate taste is nothing more than this”, but after seeing this scene, the judges were visually reawakened.

“Since this is the case, I will start first!”

The appraisers’ appetite, which had been concealed because of the enjoyment of taste, was quietly raised.

However, the crisis of Erina still hasn’t been lifted. Now it is just the subjective will of the judges, which is not exclusive. In fact, after eating, the biggest possibility is still covered up.

I saw a few judges who put the whole cut piece of fried eggs, together with the Parma ham, duck meat and hard bread cut together, and put them in the entrance.

The hollandaise sauce on the omelette is made with lemon juice, egg yolk, cream and spicy tarragon. As for the omelette below, except for the “outer coke and inner flow”, it seems that the taste difference is enlarged. In addition to the “water wave egg”, there is another “secret” hidden.

That is when the fried egg hit the bowl, about one-third of the egg yolk was replaced by Erina with a syringe! Changed to a sour mayonnaise similar to Dutch sauce, but without spiciness!

However, when the harmonious hot and sour flavors bloomed in the mouth of the judges, they were immediately overwhelmed by the sour and sour memory of the previous “five flavored roasted vegetables” …

Immediately after, Parma ham, the “yolk up version” mayonnaise drizzled on it, more to complement its salty and umami taste, with the essence of the knife skill of Erina, the soft taste of Parma ham slices seems to be The unsalted salty taste brings people a double enjoyment of taste and touch!

But unfortunately, before these two enjoy blooming, they were put out by the other two salty and fresh flavors that had bloomed before …

Finally, as the finishing German farmer’s bread, oats and wheat are mixed and mixed. In the fragrance of oats, the light “bitter” peculiar to cereals is mixed.

Sure enough, Erina as the owner of “Super Taste”, but also against the once cut-out thistle which had given her great fear in taste training and even made her “Super Taste” once closed. Rina also chose dishes with multiple tastes.

If you can really follow the plan, make the “sour and sour” and “salty” in the five flavors, as if they were invaded by the first two left and right roads, and finally the slight bitter taste in the thick and heavy is used as a support against the Chinese army. Break down anyone’s taste barrier!

However, where there is a little incompleteness in the cooking of thistle cut thistles, Erina ’s cuisine may be “colorful”.

But now …

Erina felt that she seemed to be a string puppet, and was still controlled by the grinning shiitake thistle. Even in her heart, Erina was already held in the hands of the huge “demon” chef, the other hand, Seeing to hold down from top to bottom …

But at this moment, a cry rang from Erina’s heart!

I saw Erina who was once again dominated by fear and fell into the palm of the demon, as if she was about to fall into the dark abyss. Suddenly a pair of wings were born behind him, and a dazzling light was sprinkled on her body, soaring before the hands of the “demon” closed. Come out!

“How, how is it possible? This is …” The devil murmured as he looked at Erina.

“Yes! I still remember it after all … It seems that I am better at taste, and it proves that you are completely wrong from the beginning! Leave it from my heart … I hope to see you next time. You were n’t this ugly! It ’s what my mother said … “

Along with Erina’s words, a huge demon projection melted away from Erina’s heart!

At the same time, the judges also became “Yan Yi”.

At the beginning, the judges frowned slightly while tasting Erina’s dishes …

There is no doubt that Erina ’s food is also very delicious, but each taste is blocked by the impression left in their taste memory before the barley cut thistle, which makes the judges feel clearly and deliciously, but emotional But there is a sense of disagreement that “food is not sweet”.

But when chewing deeply, the sixth taste appeared!

A taste completely different from the previous five flavors …

Until recent years, the American Development Association has discovered the sixth taste of the basic taste … fat.

In Chinese, it can also be translated as “fat taste”, which is similar to the taste produced by dripping fat directly on the tongue, most of which is “fat” …

Also in a few years, “fat” has been proved that it does not overlap with other basic tastes. It is not a fusion of other basic tastes, but a “sixth taste.”

However, the research on “fat” is still superficial, and there is no direct condiment like sugar and vinegar, which can directly enhance the taste of “fat”, which is also an important capital of the American Development Association.

If you follow the step-by-step development, the American Development Association is likely to become the “fourth largest cooking organization” within 20 years, and the discovery of “fat” cooking history-level credit is bound to be an important driving force!

However, as a representative of the American Development Association, this is not directly used, but this is used by Erina …

In each “Benedict Egg”, in addition to ham, Erina also added a few pieces of fat and thin duck meat in the center.

Duck meat itself is an ingredient that is easy to feel fat, and when Erina was fired, it did not suppress this fat, and did not completely follow the recipe of the Cantonese roast duck, but used its own game to further It feels “more fat”!

It can be said that Erina ’s roast duck, if tasted alone, is not very delicious, as if someone actually let the diners taste the pure fat in oil, they might even be beaten …

But if it is in stewed meat and barbecue, this little bit of “fat” taste can just make people enjoy a higher level of taste!

At this last moment, “Fat” also seems to be a “sword”, so that Erina’s cuisine is freed from the blockade of the shredded thistle!

And the previous blockade was like filling “rubber air” into rubber tires. The seemingly soft air, as long as it reaches three or four times the atmospheric pressure, can produce an explosive effect when it explodes!

The same is true of Erina ’s “Bandick Eggs” …

Originally, the level of Erina was only similar to that of Liu Pengxing. In the case of the longest play, it was only the peak of the Lin level. This is also true of the “Benedict Egg” that gathers the essence of Erina’s taste appreciation.

But it is precisely because of the blockade of shredded thistle …

At this moment, the judges seemed to see a fat duck inlaid with gems all over the body, breaking free from the fishing net and rushing to the sky.

At this moment, the gem blooms more brilliantly than itself, as if it has people’s longing for freedom!

At this moment, the thoughts before barbara cut thistles had a complete reaction.

Just after “fat” broke through the blockade of barley cut thistle, the flavor of “Benedict Egg” painted by Rina completely doubled in the taste of the judges!

Oppression can only bring a more intense rebound!

If this recipe is not used, if this is not the “demon” effect of thistle, this is not the first dish to be served …

But there are not so many ifs, this is indeed accidental, but it also has its inevitability!

“You, you … have known for a long time … my … recipes?” After slicing thistle, after tasting Erina’s dishes ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ said with a sudden burst of eyes and hoarse voice.

“No, I don’t know. I just guessed that you must hope for a complete crushing victory, and even hope to control me again? But it is your mentality that can inspire the common will of intelligent creatures.” Erina said.

That’s right, to a certain extent, the cooking of Rina at this moment contains not only his own will, but also the will of the diners themselves!

It is the will of the diners that is enhancing her heart and making her cuisine reach the dragon level, and because of the participation of the diners’ own will, it is easier to have a sense of belonging!

This is also what Erina could think of, and now she is the only way to overcome Yachi cut thistle …

Although it is very thrilling, because it is necessary to “cooperate” with him to block and block his own food after speculating about the thoughts of chopped thistle, and if he is careless, he may be defeated and then controlled by the “demon” again. Whether it is the “final showdown” or “all? Blue” that determines the fate of human recipes …

“Five to zero! The result of the‘ past group ’appeared! Five to zero … Azumi Erina wins!”
