The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd

"Unexpectedly, Ah Xing will actually be suppressed... Erina... Is this her strength? If I play, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get even 3 points for each dish, right?" Liu Maoyuan said.

It can’t be regarded as arrogant. The scores of the representatives of Liu’s family in the first round of the previous few times indeed hovered around 3 points for each dish, and showed a trend of “regressive”!

After all, with the deepening of the "global cuisine integration", the defects of the Liu family's training model are becoming more and more obvious.

And now on the scoreboard, on Erina’s side, two scores have been written, and she is also presenting the dishes for the third time, but Liu Subaru has been presenting the first course of "Mapo Snapper Tofu". "Silence" till now.

The scoreboard is purely "handwritten". Every time after the judges give a score, Liu Lousan writes it on a scroll like a carpet with a large brush like a spear, and then hangs it.

Erina’s first two dishes, "Gofuku Sea Bream Ball" and "Kabayaki Sea Bream", got 4.16 points and 4.02 points respectively...

Because the scores given by the judges can have one decimal place, after calculating the average score, two decimal places will appear.

Liu Subaru's "Mapo Sea Bream Fish Ball" scored 4.10 points, which is slightly better than Erina's "Wu Fu Sea Bream Fish Ball", but the difference of 0.06 points does not affect anything.

Like the second "Kabayaki sea bream" presented after Erina, it "only" scored 4.02 points!

Although the full score for each dish is 5, the score is definitely not low...

The judges determined the scoring standard after they tasted the first dishes of both sides. Master Jie even sighed at the time: "The young people nowadays are really getting more and more amazing! According to this standard, you can get A 4.5-point dish is at the level of a "signature dish" in a three-star restaurant, right?"

"It's okay, if it's just 0.06 points, it's not very important... But what worries me is that after presenting the first dish, Liu Subaru has not presented the dishes again... After all, it was suddenly used by the other party as'frozen sea bream' Attacked, if there is no idea for the next three dishes, it is the real danger." Liu Lousan said.

Liu Kuishan shook his head: "It shouldn't. Although he hasn't submitted it, he has been busy all the time. He should already have an idea, but want to submit the last two or even the last three dishes at the same time?"

When Liu Kuishan and others were wondering about Liu Subaru's situation, the judges also began to taste the "sea bream dumplings" presented by Erina.

"Huh? This is a'fish skin dumpling' that uses fish paste to make dumpling skins, right? Look at the degree of crystal clearness, it can't be done simply by machinery..."

Hearing the words "fish skin dumplings", Liu Subaru, who was rolling something with fish, couldn't help but look up at the judges' bench.

Before that, Liu Subaru and Erina had "eat halberd" once, that is, the halberd that was named in name by Erina and the "Shanko Hotpot Research Society"...

A year ago, Erina's cooking skills were far worse than it is now. The "Super Taste" was not completely liberated, and because he didn't expect that the other party would replace Liu Subaru and was careless, he finally lost.

And what Erina presented at that time was "Norwegian langoustine dumplings"!

Now after a year of advanced training, the cooking skills have advanced by leaps and bounds, the super taste sensation has been fully awakened, and subjectively, they have also gone all out... It can even be said that because of the previous stimulation of the "two emotions", they have entered a rare state of excitement... …

And what she presented in the third dish was another "dumpling" type dish. I don't know if it was planned long ago, or it was designed on the spot because the opponent was Liu Subaru.

With Erina's ability and personality, he will design a recipe on the spot to replace the previous preparations!

I saw the "sea bream dumplings" presented by Erina to each judge. There were still only three per serving. They were placed in the middle of the plate. Next to them were a few pieces of broccoli, carrot slices, and some colorful syrups to outline the decoration. As decoration...

Dumplings look crystal clear from the outer skin, not pure white, but faintly visible flesh-colored fillings inside, which is not pure white dough.

The size and appearance of each dumpling are uniform, and the shape is approximately round. The dumpling belly with filling is approximately oval, and the outer edge is a flame-shaped dumpling that is not wide. The edge complements the circle. This time, no additional Thicken.

The five judges each picked up a "sea bream dumpling". When it was put in the mouth, Master Jie broke out again without mentioning it. The judges could almost hear their rhythmic first chewing!

The crisp taste passed along the teeth was instantly transferred to the bones of the whole body, and the "pleasure" as if electric shock spread...

"This, this is... so crisp!"

"Like the previous'Wufu Meatballs', you can't imagine its taste before the entrance!"

"Yes, I have already imagined as much as possible what the taste of this'sea bream dumpling' would look like... I originally thought that it would be the limit to be able to spring teeth like shrimp dumplings... "

"This fish dumpling skin is...wrong! It's the inner layer of the fish dumpling skin, and the fish stuffing inside is wrapped with'fish buttons', right?"

Fish buckle is a kind of bone in the throat of fish... But when used in Chinese dishes, in most cases, it refers to the stomach of fish!

The taste is crispy and firm. After being marinated, the fishy smell can be removed and used as a food ingredient.

The "Sea Bream Dumpling" of Erina is on the inner layer of the "fish dumpling skin" with a thin layer of fish buckle to make the taste clearer and at the same time lock the flavor of the filling!

"Not only that, this'sea bream dumpling' also gives me some more subtle feelings, this is..."

"It's a temperature difference! The temperature of the fish dumpling skin is about 5 degrees different from the filling. This is not a gradual, but tightly integrated but sudden temperature difference, which will change the'taste'... Of course, the actual What's changed is not the texture of the dishes, but the feeling that the mouth receives this temperature change, which gives back to the nerves." Lin Yi said.

"Huh? There is such a thing...Master Lin, is this technique very common? What kind of cuisine does it belong to?" Tang Song doubted.

"No, this method of using the temperature difference is a way to change the'taste' that has recently emerged with the'new culinary science'. The taste of the mouth's temperature is also used in the cooking... but this'sea bream' "Fish dumplings" use the isolation of "fish buckles" to achieve this temperature difference, instead of using "new cooking science" equipment." Lin Yi said.

That's right, Erina was injecting high-temperature sea bream fat into the filling after the "sea bream dumplings" cooled slightly!

Because of the isolation of the fish buckle, the internal temperature is significantly higher than the outer skin.

"It seems to be just a simple process, but it has an unexpected effect! Like the previous Kabayaki sea bream, it is just a step of'steaming' before grilling, and it is sandwiched one by one. The slices of sweet potatoes are steamed together, so that when the frozen sea bream is grilled, the cumbersome fat part is burned and absorbed, making the meat firmer after grilling..."

"Although I don't know if it is a misinformation, I have always heard that'God's Tongue' Nakiri Erina is more indulging in'high-end' cooking methods, and it is flawed in the skills and application of ingredients of some chin Liba people... …It seems that it is not the case now!" Lei Yu said with a slightly moving look.

"Yes, cooking skills can only be distinguished between suitable and unsuitable, and there is no distinction between advanced and low-level. Now the real skills of Erina are becoming more and more complete!" Tang Song nodded when he heard the words.

Sure enough, this "sea bream dumpling" also got a high score of more than 4 points. Even Lin Yi, who gave the lowest score, gave a score of 4.0. The final average score is 4.18, which is the highest score of both parties so far. Cooking...

In other words, Erina has already produced three two-star dishes with stable cooking. I believe that if she conducts a personal level assessment, her chances of passing will be high!

"Oops! Another 4 points or more... In previous years, there were not so many 4 points..." Liu Subaru became anxious.

"Indeed, the representatives of the Far Moon Department in the first two years were all graduates close to the age of 20, but this time Erina was only 16 years old, but the results were even more terrifying!" Liu Lousan said.

"It doesn't stop there, every time the five judges are'fair', but not every time the scoring standards are the same...I used to taste a dish of two people before starting. The score is for this reason!"

"Yes, according to Master Lin's previous statement, if you have a score of 4.5 or more, you have a level of three-star cuisine... I am afraid that a score of 4 also has a two-star level. This scoring standard is higher than before!"

"I thought that Ichiro Pau 20 years ago and Kojiro Shimiya ten years ago were already monster-level young chefs. I didn't expect that the Totsuki system would add a new'monster'..."

The elders of the Liu family also looked a little dignified.

However, Liu Kuishan said at this time: "I can't say that. Erina is not only a member of the Far Moon family, but also a member of the family! Look at her scroll, she also signed a Chinese name, and she still ranks according to the genealogy... "

The other elders didn't know what they were thinking, and they didn't answer.

As the person involved, Pleiades Liu still prepared his last three dishes without hurries, and seemed to have made up his mind to present them at the same time.

On the other side, Erina has been cooking something. It seems that her fourth dish is soup...

In the end, seeing the sky darken, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, Erina presented three soups, and Liu Subaru put five "snack sets" on the trolley!

The first round of the duel started at 10 o'clock in the morning and the time limit was six hours. Both sides had a high utilization rate of time...

Although it was a whole day, there were Erina’s "Wufu Meatballs", "Kabayaki Sea Bream" and "Sea Bream Dumplings", and Liu Maoxing's "Mapo Sea Bream Tofu". The five judges were not hungry. Reel.

The first presented is Erina’s fish soup. In front of the five judges, it is a small casserole with a light brown, slightly whitish soup, and a small bowl of red sauce next to it...

"Huh? Is this to adjust the taste of the soup with the sauce yourself?"

"But let's try the original soup first!"

The judges stirred the soup a little with a spoon, and the soup, which was originally not clear, immediately became more "turbid"...

However, the judges were obviously not surprised, they bowed their heads and tasted the soup in the spoon...

Because it is not a clarified soup, there are a lot of pulpy ingredients in it, so every bite is very full.

The mouth-filled nose was accompanied by a slightly spicy umami, which made the judges feel like they were surrounded by a group of marine fish while diving...

"This is... there is still an'octagonal' in the soup? Coincidentally, this is my heart!" Tang Song said with a smile.

"Sure enough, it is a French fish soup. When halfway through the cooking, the spices are taken out, and the fish and other auxiliary ingredients in the inside are minced into a puree, and then put back into the soup with the spices..."

"Ah! Sure enough, after adding this red juice, after the spicy flavor melts into it, it tastes even better!"

"No... it's not spicy, it should be said that spicy is more appropriate! It is the sauce made with fried saffron?"

"Wait! Sea bream meat is not suitable for broth. Usually this French fish soup usually uses scarlet carp which is not rich in fat, or silver cod whose fat is concentrated under the skin and is easy to remove... After all, even frozen sea bream Fish, the fat is too rich, but this soup..."

"The sea bream meat should have been grilled first, the fat was steamed and grilled, and then used as the raw material for the soup!"

"Yes, there is sea bream soup in kaiseki cuisine in the island country, and there is a step of steaming it before boiling."

"That's it... this is the charm of the era of great world cuisine integration!"

The judges gave Erina a high score of 4.34 in the sound of appreciation!

It surpassed Erina’s own “sea bream dumpling” and became the highest-scoring dish so far.

And because Liu Subaru was just looking at it with a smile and not anxious, almost all the judges were fed up, and the whole bowl of soup was fed into their stomachs...

Most of the red juice in the small bowls is basically used according to personal taste. Obviously, I have tried every spicy level.

The Liu family, including Liu Subaru Yuan, was already anxious. After all, the feeling of fullness of the judges will also affect the impression of the dishes!

And Alice Nagiri murmured below: "Hey, because it's Erina, so I deliberately gave in? Doesn't he usually like to react immediately after the judges have just tasted each other's dishes?"

"No, I think there should be other reasons. A Xing doesn't seem to be able to release water at this time..." Feisha said.

Just when Alice was about to refute, Leonora said, "That's true, Alice, you still don't know enough about men... Look at his expression! That's not the look you get when you release the water. !"

Yes, Leonora is very familiar with this seemingly "smiling" expression, even if it is the bian (tai) who is heavily wife-controlled and daughter-controlled by Nagiri Soue, it also means The fighting spirit is raging...

"His last three dishes should not be staple food, so he chose to go up last... Tsk tsk, he is really a cunning guy, he looks like to make girls happy, in fact, he secretly conceived a ghost, and he said this People!" Nagai Zongwei "slandered" Liu Subaru without hesitation, and almost posted a big-character poster.

At this moment, Liu Subaru also placed five plates in front of the five judges...

Sure enough, neither of them is a staple food. Although the two exposed are not visible for the time being, they are not large.

And the two exposed dishes, placed in a triangle on the plate, is an upside-down small bowl... the smallest, smaller than the bowl containing the sauce, the bowl is not as big as a can!

As for the outside, there are a few small pieces of golden grilled fish fillets the size of a palm, and a row of "fish plates" of similar size...

That's right, it looks like a fish board, each piece is round with red mosquito coil-like patterns on the white.

However, it is not like a fish board in the usual sense, which is obviously a one-piece disc pressed out in a mold. The "fish board" in Liu Subaru's chart seems to be a circle made of two kinds of ingredients.

At the same time, creamy yellow sauce is sprinkled on it...

The judges are obviously very interested in this fish-like thing, and they are the first to put down the "fish board".

When it is clamped, it can be found that the "fish board" is indeed composed of two kinds of food, just like two mosquito coils pressed together, and slightly separated at the edge after being clamped.

The sauce on top is a bit sticky...

"Huh? Is melted hot cheese added to the sauce? What's the name of this...?" Tang Song is not sure what it should be.

"I named it'Zhu Yu Man Tang'... As for the sauce, cheese was indeed added. This was also the inspiration for Erina's'Five Blessed Meatballs' in the first dish! Of course, in this dish, Another senior sister also gave me inspiration, but who allowed me to sell it first." Liu Subaru said.

Erina's face suddenly stagnated, and then she exclaimed in a strange voice: "Gluck, you really have a pair of eyes that find love! You can get inspiration from'Senior Sister' at will!"

"Eh? Your Chinese is still a little unproficient. Is it the eye that finds'beauty'?"

"Come to my room in the evening, I will let you taste the dishes before!" Erina said with a smile.

With the same smile, Liu Subaru shuddered after seeing it, but his instinct as a man told him that he shouldn't be stunned when a girl invited him to the room at night!

Thinking of my previous plan again, I couldn’t help but say: "Okay! I want to take you, Alice and Scarlett to play around afterwards... How about calling Liu Zhuoyuan? I also want to ask her to be a guide. Well! Huh? Did you hear any sound?" Liu Subaru seemed to hear the sound of teeth grinding.

The judges also ignored the fact that both sides of the duel began to "date" in public, as well as someone's death behavior, and they all bowed their heads and tasted the so-called "full hall of pearls and jade"...

Just before the entrance, the judges still felt that the name was not appropriate. After all, it was a round sheet rather than a ball, and there was no gold!

But just after chewing, two completely different, yet nestling tastes and flavors burst out from the "circles"...

"This is... so it is! Is it'pig' or fish' full of'sugar'?"

"Yes, the red part is ham... and it is the best Xuanhua ham!"

"It seems that it should be sliced ​​sea bream and ham, rolled together and then tied and grilled. Finally, the ham and fish are rolled into slices according to the cross section before serving!"

"Between the fish and the ham, there is also a layer of honey, which uses the function of honey to soften the protein, so that the grilled sea bream meat does not have the toughness of the'grilled fish fillet' at all, but softens, and at the same time it becomes a combination of the two. Bridge..."

"With the slightly acidic and frankincense of cheese...it really can be called a snack that can'light up the heart'!"

That's right, the "Senior Sister" who inspired Liu Subaru is naturally Mujiuzhi Garden Fruit...

Yuanguo had invited Liu Subaru to the "Chunguo Pavilion" for a holiday before, but due to the reason of returning to China, Liu Subaru had to temporarily refuse it, but promised to visit her if there is enough time before school starts.

"And here is the grilled fish fillet! It happens to be slightly warm, and honey is also added, and this taste... is on the outside of the fish fillet, brushed with a layer of honey, and then covered with minced fish Crumbs! The skin is surprisingly soft, and the whole piece of fish inside is still tough!"

At this time, although the oldest, but the most active Master Jie, could not help but uncover the small bowl in the middle of the plate, I saw that the finished product inside was a circle smaller than the small bowl...

On the outside is a cucumber slice cut into long slices, standing up and surrounding, while inside is a white, uneven surface not much larger than a cherry...

I have to say that the weight of this dish is indeed the smallest!
