The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd

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's attempt to flee.

"You, you are..." Liu Subaru stared at the other's "xiuxian face" and couldn't help being surprised.

"When 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'Magic Sacred Bronze Ware', I became interested in'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 discovered 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 themselves found nothing... I don’t know 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 he has a very bright mind!

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 it to you... To be precise, do you really still have time to listen to my explanation now?" 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 the outcome may lead to the result of'heaven and earth', 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 before I've heard of these, and there is a single word in the inheritance. Yesterday, when you played against Paul, you started the'Dark Cooking Showdown' right? I seem to see something strange."

As Xie Yunlong said, the effect of "clothes cracking" began to appear all over his body.

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

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 good at it, Pleiades Liu cannot say that he knows very well, but from the age of Master Jie, Pleiades Liu understands that this old man who usually doesn't look very serious is definitely not so easy to deal with!

However, when 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 trouble, or was it because he had been facing himself for too long and the curse was no longer controllable... At this time the "dark cooking showdown" had already started!

It is estimated that there should be both reasons.

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

Of course, it may also be because of the impulse brought by the curse that Jie Yunlong, who remained somewhat sober, chose this 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 topic and time have not yet been determined..." Liu Subaru said suddenly.

"The time limit is only three hours. The individual competition on the'All? Blue' side is over after three hours. If the team competition is not held, some people may come back one after another. The ingredients are the kitchen... As for 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 confrontation, it seems that the Bai Luo family really has a record of this.

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

"Pasta." Lao Jie really meant to let go of the water. As soon as he came up, he set the topic on his "home court."

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

Well, Pleiades Liu is also welcome. Although Xie Yunlong set the topic on the pastry, but Liu Pleiades backhand limited the face to be "dead face", that is, kicked out his "old face of Shu Han".

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 fermentation 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 could not help but hesitate for a while, and after a long time, suddenly jian and xiao 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 Cuisine 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 Liu Subaru's previous duel with 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's experience now. The bells represent the signal of "cooking start" and also mean that the title of the showdown is recognized by the "dark cooking showdown".

What else Xie Yunlong has to say, 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 has 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, 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 is related to his frequent contact with the old face of the Shu Han, and it is the heart of the cook that makes 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 "steamed buns" to replace the heads of 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, "Consolation", like offering sacrifices to the heavens and ancestors, requires sincerity. The use of "steamed buns" instead of "barbarian heads" 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 soul", the "steamed bun" was successfully used.

It can be said that the cooking heart of "Wealing" and "vegetable meat" are innately mismatched, and it is even better to directly use "vegetable vegetables" as ingredients!

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

Liu Subaru only guessed that the "consoling spirit" 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 this restriction. The impact on Xie Yunlong was more than he thought. Bigger...

When he was apprentice to Luo Gen, Xie Yunlong had 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 kept in touch, and it could 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 Liang, 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 started when Emperor Wu of Liang issued the edict. Before that, the monks did not eat meat. Without such constraints...

Moreover, Emperor Wu of Liang not only refused to 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 three sacrifices!

At that time, there were also descendants of the Luo family, 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 sake of making a vegetarian meal.

However, at that time, the royal chefs of Liang Guo headed by the Luo family, although they brainstormed and researched "vegetable meat", that is, food that simulates the taste and texture of "meat" with soy products and other materials.

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 "vegetable meat offering to heaven" became a joke, but also the cooks who originally rejected the idea of ​​offering vegetarian meat to heaven and opposed Emperor Wu's recipe reform. They took the opportunity to gather in Shushan and rebuked "vegetarian meat offerings" on the grounds of "mandate of heaven" "Tian" is equivalent to "Demon Meat Sacrifice Heaven", and began a culinary confrontation with Liang's royal chefs in the pagoda.

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 not as high-end as the legendary kitchen utensils, it could also be used as a starting 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 "Lock 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 Kingdom in the duel on the top of the mountain. However, 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," generation after generation "struggling with soldiers", they 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 Cuisine 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 defeated the Shushan Cuisine Group's cooks several times. But later he was defeated by the famous chef Chonglou passing by, and he was the opponent alone, against all the military cooks of the Luo family!

And later, the Luo family learned that the head of the Shushan Food School at the 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 based on the historical setting of the fairy sword series, "The Shushan League triumphed to build the pagoda Liangwu Emperor army, and the Shushan Sword Sect rose up." There is also "Wen Ce rushed to Shushan and threatened to surrender it with the lock demon tower. 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 need 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 more than one hundred years of cooking career...

Even thousands of years ago, the vegetarian recipes of the Bai Luo family and Mu Jin'er, the Shushan Shi School, 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 did not break through the natural discord between "consolation" and "vegetarian".

More importantly, Xie Yunlong never thought that he would use "vegetarian meat" as the topic, and fight with other people in the "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 "vegetable meat"...

Seeing that Liu Maoxing was already skillfully smashing the eggs into 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!"

Only think that Yunlong directly tore off the already 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 "location" here belongs to Liu Subaru!

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

After washing his hands, Xie Yunlong seemed to have an idea. He went straight to the refrigerator and took out a large block of ice, then 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 the freezing point to make face, but his movements 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, and then fully knead the noodles 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 secondary 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 a microscopic point of 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 macromolecular proteins, which require more time to combine.

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

And Xie Yunlong first took 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 up after he started cooking, and at this time he was completely 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 ice 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 Culinary 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 temperatures, more gluten is formed, and starch is less gelatinized at low temperatures, 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 the hands of Xie Yunlong, became 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 pasta 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 leader, and the "Dark Cooking Showdown" has not yet started. The outcome of the "Seed Team" against the "Brahman Tasting Association Team" and the "Final Showdown" will be 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.

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