The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd

"Huh? The color and size, and the habit of not moving... Isn't it the sleeping crab?" Yuuki said suddenly.

Many students, including Yu Ji, recognized Liu Subaru's big red crab.

"It's indeed a sleeping crab...but that shouldn't be..." Ryoko echoed Yuuhime's judgment and looked in the direction of Kojiro Shinomiya.

Sleeping crab, one of the top crab ingredients, also known as "bread crab", is named after sleeping on its own crab claws all year round.

Because of its slow-moving characteristics, although it is very big, it does not need a rope-bound crab at all!

People who will be caught by this kind of fighting crabs will say goodbye to the crabs in this life...

It is worth noting that the origin of sleeping crabs is the Atlantic coast of France. It can be said that the origin is France.

Liu Subaru unexpectedly chose an ingredient that Kojiro Sinomiya must be very familiar with!

At the same time, Dawu looked at the aquarium on Liu Subaru's side, pinched his chin and said, "Sleeping crabs...are very similar, but in my impression, the red color of'sleeping crabs' should be deeper, right?"

"It's a sleeping crab that just shed its shell." Marui Zenji put on a pair of glasses.

"shell?"

"Crabs, as arthropods, often need more than ten or even dozens of molting before they reach adulthood, that is, to remove the shell that restricts their growth. Some even shed their shells several times after they reach adulthood..."

"In other words... soft-shell crabs?" Shoji said, obviously they didn't know this either.

"Soft shell crab" is not the name of a certain crab, but refers to a crab that has just molted its shell and has not yet finished tanning, and its shell is not hard.

"Yes, when a crab molts its shell, it can often remove the whole body, including the shell on the claws, and the new shell will grow and gradually harden, so the whole body will show a lighter color than usual. "Marui Zenji said.

"A crab in the molting stage...is there any advantage? It seems to be rarely used." Dawu said.

At least the crabs they use for cooking are all grown-ups, not just shed their shells.

Speaking of "advantage", Marui frowned: "Crabs that have just molted their skins and have not been tanned to harden their shells are also called'soft-shell crabs.' They are different from ordinary crabs. It is much softer, even dented by pressing. As long as it is properly cooked or marinated, it can be eaten with the shell, and the molting of the crab is to remove the entire ectoderm, that is to say, with the previous gills and stomach, part of the excretion The organs will also fade away, so if the internal organs are not considered, the whole can be eaten from a clean point of view..."

"So convenient? Then we usually..."

"But the soft shell also means that the crab has not reached the'peak'. The meat quality is much worse than that of the fully mature crab, and there is no firmness of adult crab meat." Marui explained.

It is for this reason that these "soft shell crabs" are rarely used in cooking.

Just to save some processing steps, but to double the meat quality... This is not worth the gain in the eyes of most cooks and diners.

Moreover, it is necessary to take a good time to use "soft shell crabs", which is not convenient in breeding, because it will not take long for the crabs to use tanning to make the newly exposed soft shells become hard shells!

Usually they are farmers, who directly calculate the time, and after they are caught, they will be made into pickled, vacuum-frozen instant food.

As for the fresh soft-shell crab dishes?

Unless it's the right season and you go to the breeding grounds, otherwise... it's hard for a strong man!

After all, after the crab sheds its shell, it doesn’t look at whether humans eat it, and then decides at what speed to harden it. As long as the time is missed, the soft-shelled crab will become an ordinary crab...

However, with the ability of the Yuanyue Group, even the soft-shelled crabs of the sleeping crabs can naturally be easily obtained, and many of them have been obtained. Obviously, they are all close to adulthood and should have completed the last molting before they were adults. Sleeping crab.

But it is precisely because many people recognize that this is a sleeping crab just after molting, so they don't understand Liu Subaru's purpose...

Sleeping crabs often lie on their stomachs and move slowly, so they have the advantage of thick flesh.

However, do the juvenile sleeping crabs of "soft shell crabs" still have these advantages?

On the other hand, compared to the laziness of sleeping crabs, the "crabs" on the Si Gong side seem to be much more active, and one only climbs up and down...

That's right, the crabs in Si Gong are not in the water, but are lying on the trunk in the mimicry box!

In the mimicry box of the fourth house, it is not sea water, but sand and "tree trunks"...

The "crab" inside is also quite imposing, with a purple-blue shell and large and small, but very thick crab claws. The whole body is afraid that it can block a person's head!

Moreover, its size does not depend on its legs. The legs of this crab are very short and thick, which makes it very flexible when climbing.

"What kind of crab is Chef Shigiya's?" Yuuki asked in doubt.

Marui Zenji continues to follow his own "settings", that is, he will explain when he understands, and when he doesn't understand... a pair of glasses will not say anything!

Ibusaki, who has always been taciturn, said at this time: "It's a coconut crab."

"Coconut crab? You don't see these trunks, it seems that they were actually cut from coconut trees, so you named them coconut crabs?" Yu Ji questioned.

After all, at this time, Kurokiba Ryo, who was born in a port city and was good at seafood dishes, and Alice, who also lived in a port city before entering school, did not recognize this crab at this time...

"This is a tropical hermit crab." Iwu Saki broke Kurokiba and Alice in one bite. Why didn't they recognize this.

Indeed, expecting coconut crabs to live in Northern Europe is a bit "difficult"!

"Hermit crab? Where is the hermit?" Yuuki looked at the big-faced hermit crabs in shock, wondering if she wanted to live in the basin?

"It's too big to live with, but it's still a hermit crab." Itake Saki said solemnly.

Indeed, the hermit crab is the name of the species, not the name of the behavior!

People don’t "hermit" or deny its identity as a hermit crab...

According to the species, the coconut crab is the hermit crab, and it is the largest hermit crab.

In detail, hermit crabs are really not "crabs", but it is like "king crabs" that are also not crabs can appear in crab dishes, and no one will criticize anything. The cooking world defines ingredients. Naturally different from the definition of species in the biological world.

"What a coincidence." After seeing Liu Subaru's "Sleeping Crab", Shimiya Kojiro murmured.

It is not only that Liu Subaru uses the French ingredients he is familiar with, but also because his coconut crab is the "Hainan Coconut Crab" that Liu Subaru should also be familiar with...

At the same time, after the two of them announced the crab they were going to use, they did not immediately deal with sleeping crabs and coconut crabs, but first prepared other sauces, sauces... and "noodles"!

It can be seen that Kojiro Shimiya uses wheat flour and yeast powder to make noodles, while Liu Subaru... does not make noodles.

Just use the seasoning powder prepared before and mix it with flour...

There is one thing Liu Subaru and Kojiro Simiya are the same, that is, when the moon has reached the edge of the "end" end of the skylight, they start to "fish out" their favorite crab.

The rule of eating halberd is that it ends when the moon is completely hidden, which means that it has now reached the final stage of eating halberd.

The actions of both parties were clean and neat. Needless to say, Liu Subaru naturally, no one would doubt his sword skills. Even if he used a soft-shell crab, Liu Subaru took the trouble to remove the internal organs of the sleeping crab first.

On the other side, Kojiro Shinomiya also ignored the ferocity of coconut crabs and the threat of crab claws...Although he faced crab claws that could cut coconut skin, he still dealt with it without protection, and the coconut crabs soon changed. It became coconut crab meat...

The pure "cooking skill" of Kojiro Shinomiya seems to have improved again!

Just when the full moon disappeared from the skylight, both parties completed their work at the same time that Rei Kawashima announced the "cooking end", only waiting for the final presentation of the food.

You can already see the final appearance of the "crab noodles" on both sides...

Kojiro Shimiya’s work uses a coconut crab "lid" to make small cakes at the bottom, while Liu Subaru's plate is filled with "breads" fried into golden yellow!

Well, it’s as "evil-fun" as Ye Shanliang in the qualifiers of the Ten Outstanding Contest. At the beginning, Ye Shanliang was outside the pie, with two dove wings...Although it was fried, the feathers were also used. It was too bad, and those who didn't know thought it was putting the whole pigeon in the pie.

Now, on both sides of the front end of Liu Maoxing’s golden noodles, there are also two crab claws sticking out...

Of course, the audience and judges who have seen Liu Subaru's actions before naturally know that Liu Subaru did not completely fry the sleeping crab into crab noodles.

"How is it? Who won?" Erina asked Ling'er in his heart.

If she asks aloud at this time, I am afraid that everyone will think she is stupid, and the two sides have not presented the food at this time. How can there be "who wins"?

But Erina felt that Linger's words...

"I don't know, unless you try it!" Linger said irritably, obviously complaining that Erina had too high expectations for her.

"..."

Erina was speechless, but at the same time, she had no other way. At this time, she was not one of the halberd contestants. Her face was still very different from the previous Kobayashi Gentiana, and she went up to taste the two sides as an audience. Cooking... Erina can't do this kind of thing.

"However, I can confirm that this time the'Final Showdown' must be effective. Liu Subaru's opponent...well chosen!" Ling'er said.

There is an effect, it can be a positive effect, or it can be... a negative effect.

Ling'er only meant that the fourth house did have the strength, which made Liu Subaru's "fighting duel" effective!

"What is the heart of Shinomiya Senpai? I think I feel it... but I don't feel it..." Erina said tangledly.

In fact, it is not only Erina, but also Liu Subaru has this feeling, that is, he clearly feels that the heart of the fourth house is working, but he can't feel the effect...

Even if it is super-visual, it has not seen its effect, but Liu Subaru still uses the "super-visual" effect to print a mirror image of the kitchen heart for use!

His instinct told him that this thing is very useful...

"Not surprising, because what he has is the'Cooking Heart'." Linger said.

"The heart of cooking? Is it a very powerful cooking heart, actually directly named'cooking'?" Erina wondered.

"I used to be as famous as'Yuan Cooking', but... I don't know if it's so good." Ling'er's tone was a little lonely.

Because he was worried about Liu Subaru, who started the "Simulation Showdown", Erina didn't have any extra energy to consider Ling'er's emotions, and quickly asked: "Fame as'Yuan Cooking'? Isn't that amazing?"

"I don't know, I mean the same name as'once'."

Erina obviously did not understand.

Linger went on to explain: "When the Atlantis civilization and Lemurian civilization were still there, although the cooking systems of the two tribes were too different and did not merge too much, both sides felt that. The material and spiritual cooking of the other party may be the key to one's further progress. Have I said that?'Source cooking' can be regarded as spiritual cooking for the first time..."

"I did." Erina remembered Liu Subaru asked this question when Linger confessed.

"The reason why it is said to be'temporary' is because its effect is'spiritual cooking', but the technology comes from'material cooking'... Yes,'source cooking' is a Lemurian civilization that used to be good at material cooking. Before the curse came, they created a technique that allowed them to have the effect of'spiritual cooking' under the system of'material cooking'."

Erina nodded when he heard the words. It is true that "source cooking" is different from the heart of the cook in principle, but the chef uses an extremely in-depth understanding of the ingredients to inspire its "source" instead of using his own will...

It seems... indeed like the handwriting of Lemurian civilization based on "material cooking"!

Upon seeing this, Linger said, "The birth time and reason of'Cooking Cooking Heart' is similar to that of'Yuan Cooking', but on the contrary."

Almost, on the contrary, two words that looked very different, but Erina understood.

"Atlantis civilization also created the'heart of cooking'? Using the heart of cooking...feed back the cooking skills?"

Erina secretly said: It seems that these are the two major civilizations that were born without the "Dragon Level", and they have made efforts to the "Dragon Level"!

"Yes...so I said they used to have the same name, but with the curse, the two civilizations turned into ruins. Three thousand years later, I became a dragon chef, relying on the fusion of the two systems instead of'source cooking' and'cooking.' The heart', so at one time I thought these two attempts were wrong. The two systems themselves can no longer be extended. The integration of the two systems is the right way...

It wasn't until a hundred years ago that I met the chef who reached the dragon rank with "Yuan Cooking", I didn't know that "Yuan Cooking" could really push the limit!I don't know if the "Cooking Heart" can be, but although there is no precedent, I guess it may be possible."

This is also the reason why Linger's tone is lonely when he mentions this matter-the original "Atlantis" and "Lemoria" are just a little bit worse!

Otherwise, with the base of the two chefs second only to the dragon rank, hundreds of dragon chefs will appear, and the "curse" will not cause such great harm...

Erina didn't bother to consider Linger's sadness, but looked nervously at Kojiro Shinomiya, and presented the food first.

Although the two of them did it at the same time, the fourth house obviously had a shadow in their hearts. They took the initiative to propose to Liu Subaru to present the food first, and Liu Subaru also agreed...
