Chapter 258: Knife Showdown in front of the gods
The Daxian Temple stands on the mountainside of Hualin Mountain in Guangdong Province. This ancient temple, known as the five famous temples in Guangdong, every year the chefs of Guangdong Province will bring the kitchen utensils that have retired here to make offerings, so Daxian Ci is also famous for "kitchen utensils offering" throughout the country. The oldest building in this temple is the Chuan Bao Hall. Inside, there is a "legendary kitchenware" that has been around for hundreds of years.
And on the third day when it was announced that the three of them would participate in the sword duel in front of the gods, Le Yuan and the others came to this place with a long history. And this god-front knife duel has already been rumored, and hundreds of people gathered here early in the morning to hear the news.
At such a major time, the system also came to join in the excitement and specially issued a task-
Optional mission 1: Knife duel in front of the gods
Description: Compete with Wren and Liu Pleiades in a god-front knife duel and win, with 2000 success points, 100 experience points, attribute points *1, and 5000 points deducted for failure.
Soon, as one of the judges, Master Luo Xi came to the front of the Treasure Hall wearing a very formal robe, and said to everyone: "According to the legendary ancient rites, I announce the official start of the 'Shenqian Sword Showdown' in Daxian Temple!" ”
"Papapa-" Master Luo Tian clapped his palms, and three men with bamboo baskets walked out behind him.
Master Luo Tian opened it and said, "Today's ingredient is it - sea bream!" I saw a huge sea bream nearly a meter long appear in front of everyone's eyes.
And the one who contributed to this duel was standing in the audience, but when he saw the title of this duel, he couldn't help but sigh: "The sea bream is quickly used to cook, so it can be said that it is a very difficult job to dismember the Xiangjiang fish without hurting every part of it." It can be said that it is just right to use this to consider the quality of the knife work of the three people. ”
"Okay, now the contestants, please come to the front!"
Le Yuan, Rennes, and Liu Pleiades walked out of the crowd together and stood on the playing field. However, this appearance brought a huge impact to the audience.
The first is Wren, who has seven knives large and small, and can be said to have armed himself to the extreme. No matter what kind of bones you have, it is not a problem with so many knives.
On the other two sides, Liu Pleiades went to the game with his empty hands, with a smile on his face, looking very relaxed. And although Le Yuan is not as unreliable as him, he is holding a very ordinary kitchen knife in his hand, which does not look surprising in the slightest.
After the contestants entered, Master Rocco continued: "According to the traditional ceremony, there is no time limit for this competition, you two just have to live up to the pride that you should have as a chef and make your most satisfying sea bream dishes." ”
There is no time limit, which means that as long as one of them has not yet produced all of his work. Then this game is not over. If one loses the pride of being a chef completely, then the matchup will continue and the game will lose its meaning.
As if to remind the three people present, Master Luo Tian pointed to the three sea breams and said, "However, there is one thing I want to say first...... These three snappers were all caught at sunrise this morning...... "Luo Xi didn't say much, but he had already secretly reminded the three of them that the umami of the snapper could not be maintained for much time.
"Good! It's game on! ”
After Master Luo Tian announced the start, Wren nailed the six knives on his body to the cutting board, and then the knife in his left hand and the scimitar in his right hand began to quickly and interactively descale the sea bream.
One kitchen knife after another, a pair of hands seemed to become a dozen. At first, the scales of the fish in a large area with a similar arc are used with a scimitar in the right hand, and then the part of the fish that connects to the body is removed with a knife.
Although these ordinary chefs can do it with some time, they are invariably deformed due to the hesitation of the movement, which makes the whole sea bream ruined.
But none of this was seen in Wren. There was not a hint of hesitation in his eyes. In a matter of seconds, all the cutting work was done, and it took less than five minutes to become his first course.
"It's amazing, I didn't expect Wren to have such a great knife work!" Liu Pleiades kept looking at Wren's knife work intently, but he didn't even move.
At this time, Le Yuan held his kitchen knife and said with a smile: "It's really old." Pleiades. ”
"Hehe, Brother Ayuan, didn't you do it either? Are you waiting for me? Liu Pleiades scratched his head embarrassedly and asked.
"I, but I've already started to act." Although there seems to be no action. I've been observing Wren's movements. But he was watching and listening to all directions, but Lingjue was constantly analyzing the sea bream in front of him, and he had already begun to calculate his next moves.
After a while, Liu Pleiades on the side began to move, and wiped his hands on the snapper, and the scales on the snapper suddenly slid down neatly one by one. However, the body of the sea bream has not been damaged at all.
"Wire kitchen knives? That's a great idea, but it's up to me next! Le Yuan's scan was over at this moment, and the next second Le Yuan's two hands were attached to the snapper's body, and every time he brushed it, the hard scales on the snapper's body were peeled off, and less than 30 seconds passed, and the scales of the entire fish body were all removed.
"That guy, is he also using a wire kitchen knife like Brother Apleia? It's so cunning! Shiro's voice in the audience reached Le Yuan's ears.
However, Le Yuan smiled faintly at this, but Le Yuan only carried a kitchen knife with his body, and he didn't use anything like steel wire at all. Le Yuan used only one, that is, the indestructible innate true qi emitted from his own hands, through precise control, the innate true qi turned into a knife to accurately peel the fish scales from the snapper's body, and the true qi completely controlled by Le Yuan completed the scaling work without any damage to the fish body.
Then it is to put aside the belly of the fish, in order to require the neatness of the profile, Le Yuan took the kitchen knife, and turned the kitchen knife into a thick square-headed knife with a thick blade, and cut the belly of the sea bream in one go.
As Le Yuan's professional kung fu food god, the use of True Qi has been integrated into Le Yuan's cuisine a long time ago, and Le Yuan's True Qi can replace any kitchen knife.
Two very excellent chefs, one on the left and one on the right, completely stimulated Le Yuan's enthusiasm for cooking, and every action of his own cooking was as swift as a wind, as meticulous as a breeze, and as fanatical as a storm......
Perhaps due to his own attributes, Le Yuan's cooking style is closer to the wind. However, the attributes of ingredients come from water and soil, and every time Le Yuan comes into contact with the ingredients of a place, he has a deeper understanding of the thickness of the soil and the flow of water, coupled with the scorching heat of fire, every time he cooks to stimulate Le Yuan's control of the four basic elements, and now the duel with Liu Pleiades and Ren Nes has accelerated this perception.
Among the three, Wren completed the fastest, followed by Liu Yuexing, but although Le Yuan handled the sea bream quickly, he was the last to complete it.
The first thing to judge is Wren's work, and the first course is the "psychedelic sashimi" made of four parts of fish flesh, including gills, dorsal fin, tail fin, and flank!
Master Luo Xi picked up a piece of sashimi that shimmered and said, "It is really an excellent knife work, and I can perfectly remove the most difficult part of the sea bream, and use the tail fin to make sashimi with a relatively tough part, which is really delicious!" ”
The second casserole fish head, the thick and fragrant fish soup attracted all the judges to revel in it and couldn't extricate themselves. The third main dish of fish fillet hot pot broke the judges' perception of the sea bream method, and the mouth-to-mouth sea bream fillet was paired with a delicious hot soup, which directly made the judges smack their tongues and call it the first delicacy in the world.
As the end, Wren directly took out a "steamed fish head", using a bland steamed fish head as the orthodox way, and rarely retained the unique umami of the fish head.
At the end of the four-course meal, one of the judges couldn't help but exclaim: "The use of superb skills and simple cooking techniques to transform the whole sea bream into a delicious dish is really perfect, and it is worthy of the genius cooking boy that Elder Luo Xi admired!" ”
Just after Wren's cooking ended, the second tasting was Liu Pleiades' work. But when he brought his dish up, the four judges were dumbfounded, because there was only one plate on which a sea bream that looked almost intact.
"Brother Ayuan, can you come over and help?" Liu Pleiades shouted at Le Yuan, "Later, use a kitchen knife to cut the fish along these two lines at the same time." ”
Le Yuan's spiritual sense had already swept over when he served this dish, and after knowing that there was something in this dish, Le Yuan looked at him and exclaimed: "It is worthy of Ah Yu, your imagination and creativity are really unexpected!" ”
"One, two, three!" At the moment when Liu Pleiades counted to three, the two cut the two lines of the sea bream at the same time. In the next second, the fish body unfolded like a fan, revealing the four dishes inside the fishing belly, and at the same time forming a picture of Chinese mainland.
"Judges, this is Liu Pleiasion's special 'True Sea Bream Continent Map'!"
The four judges are worthy of being food connoisseurs, and after tasting this dish, Empress Li discovered the secret.
"It's really amazing, this sea bream has the characteristics of all parts of Chinese mainland, that is, the unique flavors of the four places. First of all, it represents Beijing, and after the fish fillets are grilled, they are wrapped in the dough used in the Peking duck and eaten together with green onions, which is really a first-class side dish. ”
"Sichuan, the combination of sweaty chili oil and the sweet and refreshing taste of fish is really an excellent combination......
"In Shanghai, the wonderful feeling of the combination of the crab roe of the Shanghai crab and the fish on the tail of the fishing is indescribable!"
"The most touching thing should be Guangzhou, the fresh vegetables and the most delicious fish maw that you are proud of when you just arrive use the oil-consuming undercurrent, and the crisp vegetables are matched with the fatty fish maw, bringing people a sense of happiness that warms up in spring......"
"Really, really a wonderful work on par with Wren's work! Next, it's up to Rakuyuan's cooking......" (To be continued.) )
