The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd
Chapter 101: An Impossible Condition
"Oh? So the sauce is inside?" the judges' eyes lit up.
After all, it's just the preliminaries. The three judges in the third division are all internal members of the main committee of the competition. They are all 40 or 50 years old, and they should be cadres.
After the three judges each took one piece, the judge on the left looked at the thick white sticky sauce inside and couldn't help but wondered: "If such a thick sauce is fried in oil, it only depends on the noodles of crushed walnuts. Yi, can't stop the passing of the sauce?"
"It's seaweed, there is a layer of seaweed between the walnut batter and the sauce!" Another judge next to it has already seen the clue.
"But let's try it first! Creamy fried lobster..."
Although I don't know the specific recipe of the sauce, the bursts of sweet milk fragrance can't hide the taste of the judges.
Accompanied by the crunchy "creak" of the walnut dough, three pieces of "Dragon Fried Shrimp" have entered the mouth of the judges!
"This, this taste is...white chocolate?"
"But it's not as greasy as white chocolate, and you can still feel the deliciousness of the lobster meat inside!"
"It's slightly sticky in taste, but it's easy to swallow. This is... mousse? White chocolate mousse?"
Seeing the three judges talking while dividing the lobsters on the plate clean, Liu Subaru was relieved. What satisfies him most is that the three judges are obviously not interested in the white sauce left on the plate. After eating the fried lobster, it has died down.
It can be seen that what really attracts them is still the fried lobster with sauce, not the sauce...
Before that, Pleiades Liu had been worried that the sauce made would be overwhelming!
Hearing the doubts of the judges, Liu Subaru directly replied: "Yes, it is the'white chocolate mousse'. Under the high temperature of frying, the mousse appears sauce-like."
"But we probably didn't provide mousse powder..."
"It's not mousse powder, I use a relatively primitive mousse thickener, which is the medium gelatinous quality of fish bladder! Although it is not as easy to use as the dried fish gelatin, after all, I don't need to actually make a solidification. The mousse just needs a sauce similar to the mousse!" Liu Subaru said.
Fish swim bladder is rich in collagen, especially marine fish swim bladder, which is usually rich in gelatin. If it is dried, it can be made into valuable fish gelatin.
Isinglass powder processed from isinglass is one of the common raw materials for old-fashioned mousse...
On the other hand, Liu Subaru sent Hemuchang to fetch two eels back to fetch the swim bladder, and directly used the back of a knife to smash out part of the usable gum, and then mix with milk, cocoa powder and other raw materials to make a relatively thin milk chocolate paste. Later, as a substitute for the original sauce, it was added to "Yunlong Fried Shrimp"!
Considering the word "cloud" alone, the white milk chocolate sauce is indeed more appropriate than the original sauce that is light yellow because of the addition of egg yolk.
In terms of texture and taste, the milk chocolate mousse is more viscous, and the taste is sweet but bitter, and it has a fishy taste because of the fish glue.
Compared with real milk hot cocoa, the sugar is much less, and the amount of milk is more, because of the fish gelatin, it shows a bittern shape.
The bitterness of cocoa powder blends with the bitterness of walnut as the face coat. The fish gelatin and sweet milk further complement the original taste of lobster!
Prior to this, Liu Subaru had been worried that the taste of the sauce would overwhelm the lobster, making "Yunlong Fried Shrimp" a mixture of dessert and seafood dishes, and this dish would have failed more than half.
Although the calculation of the "spice inequality" is carried out, the protein raw materials such as milk and fish gelatin that cannot be purely regarded as spices will have far more flavor changes than spices due to differences in temperature and processing methods. "Inequality" to calculate these, does not guarantee the effect.
Therefore, Liu Subaru had been a little bit unsure before this, because Liu Subaru had only used the "super god tongue" to perceive their odor particles, but had not tasted the finished product as a whole!
After all, in just twenty minutes, Liu Subaru has only completed one portion, and there is no way to divide this kind of fried product into one piece for tasting...
"Is it hot cocoa mousse sauce made of isinglass? Bitter, sweet and fresh, the three flavors are just right combined with the fried lobster meat! Are you a dessert chef?" asked the oldest judge in the middle.
"No, about desserts... It was a friend of mine yesterday who tried various desserts in Hokkaido, including Shiroi Koibito chocolate and cheese mousse, so it gave me inspiration." Liu Subaru said.
At this time, the dialogue between the judges and the contestants in the review has been broadcast on the big screen. Hearing what Liu Maoxing said, the judges and other audiences were still slightly puzzled. Why did "a friend" taste the dessert and inspire him?Shouldn’t it be inspired by tasting it yourself?
Only Alice heard what Pleiades Liu was talking about, and her face became ashamed and annoyed. Fortunately, Pleiades Liu did not continue to explain the shocking words...
"An unexpected dark horse appeared! The 15-year-old player Liu Subaru and Kurokiba’s dishes were highly praised by the judges! Then, they can get 15 points or more like the other five groups. High score? Let's wait and see!" The emcee is still working hard in the super hot atmosphere.
The three judges lighted up the score board, and saw clearly written on it, two 8 points and one 10 points!
The emcee's voice was obviously stalled. After all, he had not contacted the three judges, and was completely improvised.
Because of Liu Subaru's age, he did not think about the matter of Liu Subaru's group qualifying...
But now the three numbers on the scoreboard really shocked him. It was no longer a problem of getting out of the line, but the highest score of absolute advantage!
"10 points! 10 points appeared! 8 points, 8 points, 10 points, this is also the highest score of this competition, 26 points!" The emcee immediately reacted, and immediately after the announcement, he found out the group of Liu Maoxing who had not been concerned before The origins of them will be introduced later on when they were first-year students in Yuanyue College.
Regarding the compliments of the emcee, and the audience's exclamation when they learned that he was only 15 years old, Liu Subaru left the venue after confirming his promotion.
Although some tabloids wanted to interview, in the fighting form of Kurokiba, the two left easily...
After coming out, immediately rendezvous with Alice, after which is the biggest test!
"Why? Don't you want to celebrate the finalists?" Alice said deliberately.
"Stay after winning the championship! The real test begins now. If I can't buy what I need in the afternoon, I can't guarantee that I will be able to produce a satisfactory meal tomorrow." Liu Subaru did not mean to relax.
Regarding the raw materials to be purchased today, Pleiades Liu told Alice and Kurokiba yesterday...
"For dried seafood, I have asked someone to deliver it from the Hokkaido branch of Yuanyue Hotel. As for another thing... it is common and common, but I don’t know if it meets your requirements. Let’s go to the local shop. Find it!" Alice said.
Only Liu Subaru knows in his heart that it is impossible to find raw materials that "fully meet" the requirements. If you can find some raw materials that meet the requirements as much as possible, you will be lucky!
That's right, what Liu Subaru is looking for is the old noodles that are indispensable for making "Four Gods Seafood Babao Zhenhun Man"!
Legend has it that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang came out of the army to march to the south and defeated the barbarian leader Meng after seven captures and seven passes.The barbaric wizard said that this was because the two armies fought and killed too much. The countless souls who died in battle were here, so they could not pass. According to the barbaric method, at this time, you should kill people to take the first and use the head to sacrifice the wrong soul. ...
Zhuge Liang was originally embarrassed because of the casualties of the Southern Expedition. Now that he has calmed down the Southern Land, he regards his people as a sacrifice and is not willing to kill.
So people were sent to take mutton and pork, wrapped them on the outside and pinched their heads, instead of real human heads, and threw them into the river. At the same time, a memorial message was set up to comfort the dead. The next day, it was calm and the army was able to return.
Because this kind of "sacrifice" with mutton and pork wrapped in noodles was used to replace human heads, and according to the Nandi people's concept, they would definitely use their own human heads as sacrifices. After the product developed into a kind of noodles, it was called "mantou" and later made "mantou".
At the beginning, "mantou" was also divided into meat mantou, vegetable mantou, and white noodle mantou. Since the Song Dynasty, there has been a saying of buns. Gradually stuffed buns, regardless of whether they have pleats or not, are classified as "baozi" in the north. "However, there are still many areas in the south that retain the sayings of meat buns and vegetable buns.
In island countries that are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, the term "mantou" has always been retained. On the contrary, white-noodle buns without fillings and not sweet noodles are very rare in island countries.
During the "Zhonghua Yifan" period, the dark cooking industry invited Luo Gen, the patriarch of the Bai Luo family, to compete with the group of Xiaozhuan with the "Four Gods Seafood and Eight Treasures", the "steamed buns" made by Luo Gen at that time. It belongs to the most authentic seafood buns with fillings and no folds on the outside!
Moreover, the origins of the Luo family are surprisingly large. It was exactly 1,800 years ago that Zhuge Liang's pastry family, who joined the army, could say that the first generation of steamed buns came from the ancestors of the Luo family.
Only later because of the factional dispute between Bai Luo and Heila, the family decline did not show up in the world...
However, this time Liu Subaru wants to use Logan's soul-stuffing buns, but there is an obstacle that cannot be avoided, that is the "thousand-year old face"!
In Logan's hands, there is a piece of old noodles handed down from the end of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that this piece of old noodles even contains part of the original steamed buns!
Of course, old noodles does not mean picking out a piece of noodles from the past and not using them for thousands of years. It is estimated that you don’t know what it will become. It is necessary to make noodles every shortly. , Adding a piece of old noodles from the previous time, and then picking out a piece from this noodles after use and saving it, it is always in use...
It was impossible for Liu Subaru to find an old face for more than a thousand years. After all, he didn't even know that the island country had not started growing wheat at that time.
What Liu Subaru is looking for now is the old face as old as possible, otherwise the Zhenhun Man will be greatly lost...
