Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Chapter 388: Luo Family's Dark History

"I think there are some things, it's better to solve the problem while the old man is still awake!" Xie Yunlong stopped Liu Subaru Xing's attempt to stray.

"You, you are..." Liu Subaru staring at the other's "xiuxian face" couldn't help but be surprised.

"As I get older, some things can always be tolerated." Xie Yunlong said.

"That's right, old people feel less...cough cough, I mean what do you know?"

"In fact, I don't know anything, but I suddenly discovered that the'Devil Sacred Bronze Ware' is always whispering in my heart, and... it's hard to be discovered. At first, I thought it was my own idea."

"..."

"In the whisper of the'Magic Sacred Bronzeware', I became interested in the'Jade Dragon Pot' and became hostile to you and Liu Weihui for no reason, especially when Liu Weihui played in the qualifier team. And after you played against Paul yesterday, this hostility has become more serious."

Liu Subaru Star's Way of Nature, the two timings that Master Jie said was when the two officially exposed that they had a "Jade Dragon Pot"!

"And with this kind of subjective impression, I found that Lin Yi and Seiichiro, the two dragon chefs who were originally in a good relationship with you, also began to feel this way, but they didn't find anything by themselves... I don’t know too much about the ancestors’ prophecies announced by the Liu family before, but I can understand that the “Shen Jie Ba Lin” is related to the legendary kitchen utensils and also to you!” Xie Yunlong said.

It seems that Xie Yunlong usually looks a little crazy and acts quite Meng Lang, but in fact his brain is very bright!

Not only has he overcome the influence of the curse to a certain extent, but he also inferred some facts from the source of the bewitching one's soul and the predictions of the ancestors of the Liu family.

"I don't know how to explain to you... To be precise, do you really still have time to listen to my explanation?" Liu Subaru said helplessly.

Perhaps because of being too close to Liu Subaru, Xie Yunlong is about to develop into a state of "failure to cultivate immortals and fall into the magical way"...

"In short, because of some supernatural reasons, there must be a battle between us, and victory or defeat may lead to the result of'heaven and earth repetition', right?" Xie Yunlong said concisely.

"Yes."

"Then I think I should put that battle now! Since all dragon chefs are affected, you can't be one against three, right?"

"Wait! Do you really understand what this battle will represent? This is not an ordinary cooking showdown..."

"Of course I understand... it's a'dark cooking showdown', right? Don't forget, the Bailuo family inheritance has been around since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there have been family records since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty! Although I don't know the true and false, but it is always I have heard of this, and there is a single word in the heritage. Yesterday, when you played against Paul, you started the'Dark Cooking Showdown', right? I seem to see something strange."

Xie Yunlong said, the effect of "clothes cracking" began to appear all over his body, and the shriveled body under the flowered shirt swelled a little bit.

It seems that it is not only when you taste delicious food, but if Xie Yunlong is serious, this effect will also be triggered.

When Xie Yunlong defeated the "Italian Royal Cuisine Team" players in the individual competition before, there was no such a vision. It seems that Xie Yunlong is now fully serious!

Liu Subaru is also very entangled in his heart. It is indeed a trouble to face three "Dragon Chefs" at once, but now he is facing directly against Xie Yunlong, and there is no easy way...

It can be said that among the six dragon chefs, Liu Subaru is the least willing to meet Master Jie.

Although the six "Dragon Chefs" are really capable, Pleiades Liu cannot say that he knows very well, but from the age of Master Jie, he understands that this old man who usually doesn't look very serious is definitely not so easy to deal with!

But just as Liu Subaru was entangled as to whether he wanted to jump out of the window and escape, he suddenly found that the scenery outside the window had become a "black and white photo"...

Liu Subaru did not dare to confirm whether this was Master Xie trying to help him reduce some troubles, or was it because he had been facing him for too long and the curse was beyond his control...At this time, the "Dark Cooking Showdown" had been launched!

It is estimated that there should be both reasons.

Originally, Master Jie was able to reluctantly "curse" the impulse brought about, but when his original intention was to fight Liu Subaru as soon as possible, the impulse brought by the curse could not be suppressed...

Of course, it may also be because of the impulse brought by the curse that Jie Yunlong, who remained somewhat sober, chose the simplest and rude way to solve the problem!

The specific truth is not important anymore, Liu Subaru can confirm that the "Dark Cooking Showdown" has begun!

"Wait, our duel title and time have not yet been determined..." Liu Subaru said suddenly.

"The time limit is only three hours. After three hours, the individual competition on the'all? blue' side is over. If there is no team competition, some people may come back one after another. The ingredients are these in the kitchen... For the title, just use a traditional match-up method! Let me talk about two topic restrictions. After each one, you can put forward more detailed restrictions based on the topic restrictions I said, and then use this as the topic! "

Xie Yunlong said a seemingly ancient way of duel, it seems that the Bai Luo family really has a record of this.

"Okay..." Liu Subaru thought for a while and agreed.

"Noodles." The old solution really meant to let go, and as soon as he came up, he set the topic on his "home court."

"... Dead face." Liu Subaru said after thinking about it.

Well, Liu Maoxing is also welcome. Although Xie Yunlong set the topic on the pastry, Liu Maoxing's backhand limit must be the "dead side", that is, his "Shuhan old face" is kicked out of the field.

Dead noodles refer to noodles that have no "fermentation" step and neither yeast nor old noodles are added!

The "old noodles" itself is a means of preserving fermented bacteria. Since "dead noodles" are required, the old noodles of Shuhan are useless.

"Meat!" explained the second qualification, which is also a limited ingredient.

Liu Subaru couldn't help but hesitate. After a long while, jian suddenly said, "Vegetarian."

This is obviously a bit "targeted", and further restrictions on "meat" are actually "vegetarian"...

"..." Xie Yunlong expressed speechlessness to this kind of almost rogue additional restriction, plain meat... is it a restriction for "meat"?

But from the "dark cooking showdown" it has recognized this restriction!

Just after the two of them finished talking about the two restrictions they proposed, in the venue designated as the "dark cooking showdown", a bell rang...

Liu Subaru heard Ling'er mentioned that when the "Dark Cooking Showdown" is launched, there are usually two situations.

One is to rely on the existing rules of the game, just like the previous duel between Pleiades Liu and Paul, that is, directly "nested" the dark cooking duel in the "all? blue" individual match.

There is also a separate "dark cooking showdown", just like Liu Subaru is experiencing now. The bells represent the signal of "beginning of cooking" and also mean that the title of the showdown is recognized by the "dark cooking showdown".

If Xie Yunlong has any more words, he can only hold back...

Liu Subaru is quite satisfied with the finalized topic!

Liu Subaru's cooking is not very biased, and he already possesses the "noodles", which means that the topic of "noodles" is not just the home of Jie Yunlong.

More importantly, there is a "dead face" and a "vegetarian meat". The former "seals" the old noodles of Shuhan of Xie Yunlong, while the latter is aimed at Xie Yunlong's cooking heart!

Xie Yunlong’s cooking spirit is "consolation spirit". Although he is also a pastry master of his father Xie Lu and pastry Wang Luogen, he still inherits the "consolation spirit" inherited from the Bai Luo family in terms of cooking spirit. Perhaps this was related to his frequent contact with the old face of Shu Han, and it was the heart of the cook that made Xie Yunlong remain sober under the curse.

The original owner of the "Comforting Spirit" kitchen heart was Zhuge Kongming's army cook at the time, and he invented the "steamed bun" to replace the head of the barbarians to calm the souls in the water...that is, a large number of humans. After death, another form of life is produced.

To a certain extent, "Comforting Spirits", like offering sacrifices to the heavens and ancestors, requires sincerity. The use of "mantou" instead of "mantou" is to avoid killing, but if you don't even have any meat, you want to play The effect of "comforting souls" has the meaning of "burning newspapers on the grave"!

Even Zhuge Wuhou's army used the meat of poultry and livestock on the outside of the dough to "pretend" as a human head. With the effect of "consoling the spirit", the "steamed bun" was used to achieve the effect.

It can be said that the cooking heart of "Willing Spirit" and "vegetable meat" do not match by nature, and it is even better to directly use "vegetable vegetables" as ingredients!

Xie Yunlong's face became entangled after hearing the restrictions of "vegetarian meat", which is why...

Liu Subaru only guessed that the "consolation" cooking heart needs meat, so in order to prohibit Xie Yunlong from using "meat", he mentioned the additional restriction of "vegetarian meat", but he didn't know the restriction, which had a greater impact on Xie Yunlong than he thought. Bigger...

When he was apprentice to Luo Gen, Xie Yunlong heard Luo Gen talk about many past events of the Bai Luo family.

Since the Three Kingdoms period, the Luo family’s founders have helped Zhuge Kongming to cross the river and return to the army without hurting the emotions of the barbarians who have just returned. The Luo family has been in most of the times. The secular dynasty keeps in touch, and can even be said to be a family of sacrifices.

And Su Rou is also very "destined" with the Luo family, but it is a bad destiny!

It is generally believed that the origin of "vegetarian meat" was in the Northern and Southern Dynasties three hundred years after the appearance of "mantou"...

The founder of the Liang Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty, Xiao Yan, because he believed in Buddhism and had some special understanding of doctrines. For example, the monks in the Chinese cuisine civilization began not to eat meat. It began with the edict issued by Emperor Wu of Liang. Before that, the monks did not Without such constraints...

Moreover, Emperor Wu of Liang not only did not let the monks eat meat, he did not eat it himself, and even urged those under the rule not to eat it. The most important thing is that he didn't even want to use real meat for the sacrifices of the three animals!

At that time, there were descendants of the Luo family who were assisting Emperor Wu of Liang, so this unfortunate task fell on the Luo family.

At that time, Emperor Wu of Liang built a pagoda in Shushan for the purpose of offering a vegetarian meal.

However, at that time, the royal cooks of Liang Guo headed by Luo Jia, although they brainstormed and researched "vegetarian meat", that is, food that uses soy products and other materials to simulate the taste and texture of "meat".

But in the end, after the chef in Luo's family personally performed the sword and performed sacrifices at the Shushan Pagoda, I don't know if it is a coincidence or there is a number of days in the dark. The Shushan area is fast and the thunder is endless...

As a result, not only did "vegetable meat sacrifice to heaven" become a joke, but also the cooks who originally rejected the reform of the recipe of Emperor Wu of Liang, who rejected the vegetarian meat to sacrifice to heaven, took the opportunity to gather in Shushan and rebuked "vegetarian meat sacrifice on the grounds of "mandatory" "Tian" is equivalent to "Demon Meat Sacrifice Heaven", and began a cooking show after another in the pagoda with Liang Guo's royal cooks.

It is said that at that time, the cook of the Shushan League found an ancient sword that could start the "Dark Cooking Showdown". Although it was not as high-end as the legendary kitchen utensils, it could also be used as an opening prop for the "Dark Cooking Showdown"...

In the end, the Shushan League expelled Liang’s power from Shushan in a dark cooking showdown, and founded the Shushan Food Sect. It also seized the Heavenly Sacrifice Stupa, renamed it "Locking Demon Tower", and opened it. The ancient sword, the prop of "Dark Cooking Showdown", was named "Demon Sword"...

The ancestor of the Luo family, as the chief cook under Emperor Wu of Liang, also played as the leader of the cook of Liang in the duel on the top of the mountain, but because of the order of Emperor Wu of Liang, he could only use "vegetarian meat" as ingredients. , And could not use real meat, but was defeated by the leader of the Shushan League and the famous chef Taiqing, and the Luo family's reputation has been greatly damaged since then.

More than five hundred years later, in the Shenzong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Luo family’s reputation had been restored by this time, and in order to "get up wherever you fell", generations of "struggling soldiers and horses" prepared countless kinds of vegetarian recipes, and once again instigated them. Wen Ce, the son of the general at the time, sent troops to Shushan...

At this time, the Shushan Food Group was also under the leadership of the 23rd generation chief chef and celebrity chef Xu Changqing, and it developed to an unprecedentedly strong level. As a result, although at the beginning of the duel, the Luo family beat the Shushan Food Group's cooks several times. But later he was defeated by the famous chef Chonglou passing by, and he was the opponent alone, fighting against all the military cooks in the Luo family!

And later, the Luo family learned that the head of the Shushan food school at that time was not unable to defeat the Luo family, but wanted to calm the grievances left over from history. After the Luo family was defeated by the famous chef Chonglou, Xu Changqing lost his heart. , So that Zhonglou did not continue to launch the "dark cooking showdown" effect, and since then, the Luo family has reconciled with the Shushan Food School...

At the same time, the Luo family also realized one thing, that is, "Vegetarian meat", although it has its advantages, but in harmony with its own "Comforting Spirit" kitchen, it is inherently guilty and uses vegetable meat to carry the "Comforting Spirit" kitchen. The behavior of the heart can only be described as "cheating"!

Since then, the Luo family has no longer researched vegetarian meat recipes, and the descendants of the Luo family have hardly touched this kind of food...

(The above content is in the historical setting of the fairy sword series, "The Shushan League triumphed to build the pagoda, the army of Emperor Liang Wu, and the Shushan Sword Sect rises up." Wen Hui, was tortured by a heavy building."...For the demonic revision of the two incidents, see the original fairy sword setting. The TV series may not be understood by the party, but it’s just for entertainment. You don’t have to go into it.)

Of course, the Luo family, as a celebrity in the culinary world, is not yet self-proclaimed and self-imposed. The past dynasties only warned the descendants not to be too obsessed with vegetarian meat, but they did not prohibit future generations from using vegetarian meat.

And as a chef whose life spans the entire "world fusion era", Xie Yunlong has actually done some research on vegetarian meat during his cooking career for more than 100 years...

Even thousands of years ago, the vegetarian recipes of the Bai Luo family and Mu Jin'er of the Shushan food school had inherited from Luo Gen.

And in the more than one hundred years of Xie Yunlong as a cook, he has too much time, even if these "vegetable recipes" have been ignored by the Pai Luo patrons for thousands of years, Xie Yunlong has also studied.

But even so, Xie Yunlong still hasn't broken through the natural discord between "consoling soul" and "vegetarian meat".

More importantly, Xie Yunlong never thought that he would use "vegetarian meat" as a topic, and he would engage in a "dark cooking showdown" that was only seen in secret history records and had been regarded as a legend before.

Therefore, Xie Yunlong did not put too much thought into "vegetarian meat"...

Seeing that Liu Subaru was already proficiently beating the eggs in the wheat flour, Xie Yunlong couldn't help but muttered: "Although the problem is very unfavorable... But if you think that such an advantage is enough to defeat me, then you might be disappointed!"

I only think that Yunlong directly tore off the bulging floral shirt, revealing muscles several times stronger than the general...

Washing his hands and scanning the ingredients in the cooking room left and right, this is probably where Xie Yunlong deliberately let Liu Subaru take a step... The "geographical advantage" here belongs to Liu Subaru!

Because I said before, you can use the ingredients in the cooking room at will in the duel. Of course, Liu Subaru knows what is in his cooking room, but Xie Yunlong needs to check it on the spot!

After washing his hands, Xie Yunlong seemed to have an idea, and went straight to the refrigerator, took out a large ice cube, and put it in a basin, and directly hammered it into crushed ice...

Add water to the crushed ice and stir until the ice no longer dissolves. Then filter out the crushed ice. Then use the zero-degree water to make the dough directly!

Liu Subaru was also shocked at this behavior of using water near freezing point to make face, but his hands did not stop...

In addition to egg liquid, Liu Maoxing's noodles use a small amount of oil and a high degree of white wine. After that, they knead the noodles thoroughly until the alcohol content is completely volatilized before starting the noodles.

Some people think that "", that is, the step of letting the reconciled noodles stand for a period of time, means secondary fermentation, but this is not the case.

There are usually two types of " noodles", one is for fermented noodles, which is indeed for the second fermentation, and the other is non-fermented noodles, usually " noodles"!

The latter is to make the large particles of flour fully combine with water molecules. Otherwise, from the microscopic view, there will still be many subtleties after mixing, maintaining the "clear separation" of water and large-particle flour. "Men noodles" for a period of time will help make the noodles taste better and stronger.

In particular, Liu Subaru now uses egg liquid and noodles directly. The water in the egg liquid accounts for about one-third, and the rest are large-molecule proteins, which require more time to combine.

After that, Liu Subaru took the tofu skin, bean dregs and dried tofu from the cooking room to prepare vegetarian meat...

And Xie Yunlong first used some bamboo shoots, beans, fungi, and Gelidium...

After the two started cooking, they obviously didn't mean to show mercy to each other!

It is estimated that Xie Yunlong, who was able to temporarily resist the "curse", became more and more upright after he started cooking, and at this time he was fully in the state!

After more than half of the time, when both of them seemed to have almost prepared their "vegetarian meat", they saw a yellow dragon and a white jade canopy, respectively appearing on the body of Liu Subaru's star and on top of Xie Yun's dragon. ...

Although one used egg and iced water to make the noodles, but at this time, they all used the "manual" method to "easily" stretch or spread the noodles!

Even Carlo, the leader of the previous "Italian Royal Cuisine Team", is not as "easy" as Liu Subaru.

That's right, Liu Subaru's dough is obviously closer to "spaghetti". When stretched into "noodles", he shakes the golden dough around his body like a dragon.

Both the color and the gloss are more dazzling than the pasta that Carlo used in the team competition in the qualifiers.

On the ice water surface of Xie Yunlong, because the protein in the flour does not react thermally at low temperature, more gluten is formed, and starch is less gelatinized at low temperature, so the "white jade dough" is "tough". , Not inferior to "golden dough"!

The characteristic of cold water noodles is that the color is brighter and brighter. If the noodles produced by Liu Subaru Xinghe are "gold", then the noodles in the hands of Xie Yunlong should be described as "white jade"...

Soon after, the shiny golden dough turned into shiny golden noodles with fluorescent agent in Liu Subaru's hands, while the white jade-colored dough, in Xie Yunlong's hands, turned into pieces of dough that looked like white jade plates.

Obviously Liu Subaru is preparing to make some kind of noodles similar to spaghetti, while Xie Yunlong is still preparing to make some kind of noodles with crust and fillings!

In the blink of an eye, three hours later, in the "all?blue" venue, Erina and Dojima Gin defeated their opponents, and Hiramase was defeated...

However, Erina’s opponent is not the opponent’s team leader, and the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" has not yet started. The victory of the "seed team" against the "Brahman Tasting Association Team" and the result of the "Final Showdown" will Decided in the afternoon "team game"...

At the same time, in Liu Subaru's cooking room, the bell that I don't know where it came from rang again.

At this time, Liu Subaru and Xie Yunlong had already stood on both sides of the table in the middle of the cooking room, pushing their respective dishes in front of each other...
