Rebirth as a Cooking God

In any case, the collaborative work of Zhu Qing and Saiba Joichiro has gradually taken shape as the cooking time goes by. No matter how optimistic Xia Yu is, he can only watch it from the sidelines.

He vaguely regretted why he had not intervened and given guidance in the past few days.

Why!

Until now, Xia Yu still has the shadow of Four Gods Seafood and Eight Treasures Soul-Calming Steamed Buns in his mind. Speaking of which, this supreme recipe in the field of dim sum really involves too much knowledge. Kneading the dough and kneading the dough are just the basics, and the deeper level is the adjustment of yin and yang. He seems to understand but not understand the profound meaning of it.

In the blink of an eye, an hour and a half passed.

clang!

The sudden ringing of the bell made Xia Yu leave the God of Cooking space and opened his eyes, Is the cooking session over?

Listening to his sleepy words, Kaneda Shun laughed from behind and said: I really believe that you are very calm now. You can even fall asleep in such a tense cooking duel. It's amazing——

He gave a thumbs up.

Tulip, Ishino Harumi and several nearby guests also couldn't help laughing.

It's not over yet, but someone handed in the paper in advance - someone said to Xia Yu, who shook his head and woke up, handed in the paper in advance? Which combination?

I can't help but raise my heart and focus on the stage.

Eh!

He was surprised to find that an unexpected combination, Akiyama Hiroshi and Kanbara Masato, appeared on stage together and presented their cooking works to the judges.

The camera focused on it, and when the dishes in front of the five judges were displayed on the screen, Xia Yu was even more surprised, and even exclaimed like many viewers -

Chicken chop rice?

On the judging table were five plates of ordinary chicken chop rice.

The chicken thigh steak is placed on the snow-white rice grains, garnished with carrot slices and broccoli for decoration. The thick and fragrant teriyaki sauce is poured over half of the rice and chicken steak. At first glance, it looks very good and makes you salivate. .

Our cooking creation is...teriyaki chicken cutlet rice! Akiyama Hiroshi introduced the microphone handed to him by the female host very calmly.

Well, the combination of rice and chicken steak is quite ordinary. It seems that you put the focus of the cooking on the meaning? The judge Chang Nuliang in the middle said with a low smile.

He was not in a hurry to take down his chopsticks and taste it. He stared at Akiyama Hiroshi and Kanbaru Masato and said, Can you first talk about your understanding of the topic The Greatest Good, Like Water?

The two chefs looked at each other.

Masato Kanbaru replied: The sea embraces all rivers!

Stop talking after you finish speaking.

The sea embraces all rivers? Most foreign friends were confused. This group of words still needs an interpreter to translate, but the Asia-Pacific chefs who are influenced by Chinese culture have their eyes lit up.

The highest goodness is like water, and like the character of water, being open to all rivers is a kind of magnanimity.

Nora nodded, Furukawa Shinichiro who was the master of ceremonies also nodded, and even dragon-level giants like Xia Qing and Nakiri Senzaemon who were watching the live broadcast also nodded - this idea of ​​solving the problem is correct.

So……

So, the chief judge led the other four judges and started the tasting.

The old man Noliang took down his chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken steak dipped in teriyaki sauce, and brought it close to his nose to smell it.

The flavors of sauce and meat hit your nostrils, vaguely like the sound of flapping wings.

That's it! Immediately he understood something, Nuliang murmured, opened his mouth and tore off half of the chicken steak, click, the aroma of chicken and sauce surged from the tip of his tongue. Even if he was mentally prepared, the old man couldn't bear it. He kept saying: It's floating, it's floating!

I'm floating too!

The second red-haired judge opened his mouth and swallowed the whole piece of chicken steak. While chewing, he picked up several balls of rice and stuffed them into his mouth. The feeling of drifting away in his mind was slightly weakened: This chicken is definitely not an ordinary ingredient. But some kind of fantasy poultry!”

Well, remove the bones from the chicken, pierce holes, and marinate it with spices for at least 20 minutes. Let me see what spices were used... The third monk in a hat said with his eyes closed.

“The key is the teriyaki sauce!”

Nora swallowed the chicken and rice grains in his mouth, then looked at the combination of Akiyama Hiroshi and Kanbara Masato and asked: I won't mention the other ingredients for making the sauce here. Can you tell me about the core of the sauce? Honey…what’s the secret?”

secret?

Akiyama Hiroshi smiled and said: It's not a secret. This honey is taken from the beehives in the Miracle Courtyard of our IGO headquarters. The bees there taste the honeydew from the flowers and plants in the Miracle Courtyard, so it has a very important gone with the wind feeling. taste.

And Piao, paired with the meat of the ten-winged bird, the moment you taste it, I'm afraid it will feel like you have grown wings and traveled around in the sky and come back, right? He said, observing the facial expressions of several judges, his heart felt a little bit.

Starting with the judge Nagano Ryo, the five judges chose to put down their chopsticks after tasting a piece of chicken steak and a few mouthfuls of rice.

The meal was not as satisfying as expected. Seeing this, Akiyama Hiroshi's eyebrows trembled. Masato Kanbara beside him also sighed lowly and asked to the judges' seat: Where is the shortcoming?

“The vastness of the sky really creates a sense of generosity.”

Noliang paused, However, I only saw Chef Lin's Gone with the Wind artistic conception of food, but I didn't see Chef Te's mark. This is a collaborative work, and the creation of the artistic conception needs to be completed together.

and……

“The quality of the food does not reach the ‘Lin Level One Star’ level!”

Masato Kanhara was shocked, his eyes showing helplessness.

Special chef's mark? It is simply a dream to put this kind of culinary heart-level thing in the same dish as Lin Chu's food meaning.

A simple imprint of the kitchen heart will definitely not work.

That's too cool! The fourth black-haired female judge, who called herself 'Yanluo', said indifferently, You guys are rashly using this rare flower honey to brew teriyaki sauce. It's a bit of a fool's errand. Taboo ingredients are not so It’s easy to control and use it to create a gourmet mood. If it is a more ordinary fantasy honey, the results will be better.”

After she finished speaking, Nora nodded to Furukawa Shinichiro.

Then please rate!

Beep.

Numbers popped up on the scoreboard above the stadium:

15 points, 16 points, 16 points, 15 points, 18 points!

Congratulations! The final score of the two chefs' work is 80 points!

80 points!

This was a score that could reach a good level. Akiyama Hiroshi and Kanbaru Masato sighed, regretting this, but not unwilling to do so.

I lost too many points in the special kitchen area. Kanhara reflected.

I proposed brewing it with the rare flower honey from the Miracle Garden, but it was still too hasty... Akiyama Hiroshi patted him on the shoulder and took the initiative to take over the blame for being eliminated in the second round.

Yes, when they learned the score, the two knew there was no hope of advancing to the finals.

Nora stopped Akiyama Hiroshi and said: Work hard. It's a very good idea to use the rare flower honey stuffing to make teriyaki sauce. If you can control it better, this teriyaki chicken cutlet rice will be a real one. Lin-level dishes!

Akiyama Hiroshi thanked him respectfully.

When the audience saw this group exiting the stage, there was a loud bang.

Especially the Japanese audience, covering their heads in disbelief.

Hiroshi Akiyama and Masato Kanbara are well-known chefs in Japan. However, precisely because of their understanding, chefs who were powerful in the eyes of the public were eliminated early, and the psychological impact was huge.

Your Excellency Akiyama, Minister Kanbara... actually only scored 80 points!

Oh My God!

The whispers continued for at least 10 minutes.

Xia Yu and Kaneda Shun were communicating.

Can you see the flaws in their dishes? Shun Kaneda raised a topic.

The key to good food lies in the control of ingredients! Xia Yu's eyes showed a look of thinking and understanding. In the past, his concept of Lin-level dishes was very vague, just like when he was blank about special kitchen dishes.

But now, this blank piece of paper has gradually become filled with thoughts and words.

Yes, control!

Special level talks about control, and the key to the assessment is 'control'. Lin level is not that mysterious, the key is also control! Kaneda Shun said, After all, understanding the meaning of food does not mean that you can control thousands of ingredients. .”

clang!

At this time, another bell rang.

The 2-hour cooking session came to an end.
