The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd

"Please taste it!" Liu Subaru and Xie Yunlong said to each other.

At this time, Xie Yunlong's dark circles were already red in the darkness...

What Liu Subaru pushed to Xie Yunlong was a plate of pasta with red tomato sauce, and there were pieces of "meat" in the tomato-based sauce.

And the ones pushed by Xie Yunlong in front of Liu Subaru were white steamed buns that were as clear as jade... or buns!

Xie Yunlong picked up the western fork and rolled up a strand of spaghetti, while a piece of meat was poked up on the tip of the fork, and Liu Maoxing also used chopsticks to pick up the white jade steamed bun and put it in his mouth...

At the moment when Liu Subaru was bitten, a torrent of heat blasted into Liu Subaru's mouth, immediately causing Liu Subaru to have the illusion that his mouth was filled with soup!

Immediately afterwards, whether it was the vigorous "white jade noodles" or the delicate fillings inside, Liu Subaru lingered...

That's right, it is "Fragrant Fragrance"!

Pleiades Liu immediately felt that the white jade filling soup bag was vegan filling, the fragrance of asparagus, pleurotus ostreatus, and the mellow aroma of beans and soy products launched a charge on Liu Subaru's taste.

Soup dumplings?

Pleiades Liu couldn’t help but froze for a moment. Because his opponent was Master Jie before, Pleiades Liu did not dare to relax for a while, so he did not pay much attention to Master Jie’s cooking process, but was busy with his "multi-play vegetarian pasta"...

Indeed, if you use dead noodles to make steamed buns, only "pouring soup dumplings" are more appropriate.

Usually the bun skins are fermented "raised noodles", and the bun skins are usually very soft after being steamed.

However, the "pouring soup bag" is obviously an exception. If you use the skin of the noodles, the result is that the solidified soup will be absorbed by the bun skin after heating and melting. Not only is there no "soup", the bun skin becomes moist and has no taste. At all...

Therefore, “pouring soup dumplings” usually use dead noodles, or a mixture of dead noodles, hot noodles, and raised noodles to make skin.

Compared to pure dead noodles, it is more common to mix dead noodles with hair noodles and hot noodles.

But like Kaifeng filling soup bag, it uses pure dead noodles, because of the strength of dead noodles, it can make the skin thinner, and there is no need to worry that the bun skin will break due to the soup.

What puzzled Liu Subaru the most was the "soup" of Xie Yunlong's soup bag!

The general soup dumpling is to place the soup into a "frozen" shape, or to cut a specially made skin jelly into small pieces and put a small piece in each bun, and then the soup jelly melts at high temperature , The soup bag will be filled with liquid soup.

But after Master Jie’s "White Jade Pouring Soup Bag", after Liu Subaru Xing tasted it, he knew immediately that the soup in it would definitely not be the product of aspic or solidified soup...

The fragrant taste is clearly vegan soup!

And according to the title, the use of "meat" is obviously not allowed.

The vegan soup, no matter how long it is left, it is impossible to solidify, unless it is frozen under the freezing point...

However, using the method of freezing will make the soup layered due to different freezing points, and the taste will not be so integrated.

Usually the authentic soup dumplings are usually lamb or beef stuffing. Later, dumplings with pork stuffing and three fresh stuffing were born.

There are also rare soup dumplings with vegetarian stuffing, but they are usually not worthy of the name!

It is not in the vegetable fillings, the solidified hot head made of animal materials is added, or there is no "soup" effect at all. It is just ordinary vegetable steamed buns with relatively high humidity and sufficient moisture in the filling.

But this is obviously not the case with Xie Yunlong’s "Bai Yu Tang Bao"...

Because he knows that for the "Consolation" chef, using "fake meat" is not as good as "no meat"!

With Liu Subaru's sense of taste and sensitivity to food, he immediately reacted and said secretly: That's it!It's Gelidium!

Gelidium is a kind of algae that grows on coral reefs. It is not only used to make pickles and cold dishes, but also rich in colloids. It is one of the raw materials used to make "jelly".

At the same time, the colloidal substance in Gelidium can be dissolved after boiling, and then this liquid is added to the soup to form the colloidal block of the vegetarian soup!

In addition, the asparagus and fungi used as fillings for Baiyu soup dumplings are not completely "stuffed", but cut into small "diced" states. This is also different from ordinary fillings for soup dumplings that are delicate and tough... …

In traditional soup dumplings, the hallmark of the premium beef filling is to pinch a piece of the extremely delicate beef filling, which can be stretched and kept in the hand like a dough.

But the filling of Master Jie's "Bai Yu Tang Bao" can make you feel that you are not eating the Tang Bao, but drinking a bowl of warm asparagus and pleurotus soup!

The fragrant asparagus and the soft pleurotus ostreatus were chewed together in the mouth together with the delicious soup, and Liu Subaru's mind was filled with the unique taste of vegetarian food.

That's it!Vegetarian meat...Because "vegetarian meat" is more unfavorable to "consoling spirit" than genuine vegan materials, so "vegetarian meat jelly" is used to contrast the "vegetarian meat" in the title, and then in the finished product, "vegetarian meat jelly" "It has become soup...

Liu Maoxing understood Master Jie's thoughts.

At the same time, I guessed that the influence of "vegetarian meat" on Xie Yunlong should be greater than I thought, right?

But now the other party did use the "vegetarian jelly" deduction question, although there is no vegetarian meat in the final product

Enough to play part of the "soothing" effect of the heart of the kitchen.Frozen, but judging from the fact that the "Dark Cooking Showdown" did not terminate on its own, this is indeed recognized by the rules...

Liu Subaru also felt that the delicate fragrance of the bamboo shoot mushroom soup as the stuffing of the white jade pouring soup bag carried a reassuring breath, as if an incense burner was burning in front of the soothing fragrance...

The power of the "consoling spirit" cooking heart can be exerted in vegetarian ingredients, not as good as using meat, but at least better than using vegetarian meat!

Because of the most important sincerity of "Consolation", at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Zhuge Liang returned to the court after Zhuge Liang's Southern Expedition, it was the resentful spirits of the barbarians who died during the Southern Expedition that was chasing the river, and "mantou" was used instead of "barbarian". It is to prevent further expansion of casualties, so although "mantou" is actually "counterfeiting", it also reflects sincerity...

In contrast, the use of "vegetarian meat" as a sacrifice is entirely based on personal likes and dislikes in "burning newspapers on the grave", and naturally it is not good at "sincere".

And the pure use of vegetarian ingredients, although the effect is not as good as the use of meat, but it does not have a deceitful heart. Naturally, the effect of "soothing" is worse than that of vegetarian meat.

While Liu Subaru was addicted to "white jade soup dumplings", he kept thinking about his "multi-playing vegetarian pasta" in his heart!

The sauce base of Liu Subaru’s golden pasta is similar to Isami’s performance in the autumn trials, that is, when making the sauce, no extra drop of water is used, but the tomato is completely heated. The oozing juice...

However, unlike Issami, Liu Subaru did not use direct heat to make the tomatoes in the deep soup pot quickly soften and precipitate out tomato juice. Instead, he slowly heated it with a small fire and at a low temperature of 60 degrees.

One is to reduce the sharpness of tomato juice, and the other is lycopene, which has a better effect on scavenging free radicals than carotenoids and vitamin E in tomatoes. It will decompose at high temperatures and is not suitable for long-term high-temperature heating. .

Afterwards, the tomato juice simmered in a slow heat is divided into two parts. One part uses the clarified tomato juice to make the meat stock, and the other part is reserved with the soft and rotten tomatoes as the final sauce... …

Xie Yunlong didn't use vegetarian meat directly because of his "consoling spirit" cooking, but Liu Subaru did not have this restriction. His "source cooking" and "sun" cooking skills were originally very universal skills!

Whether it is plants or animals, they will directly or indirectly gain the power of the sun...

In particular, the tomato juice used as the base was also deliberately chosen by Liu Maoxing.

Tomatoes are a kind of crops that like sunshine. Although the requirements for sunshine are very flexible, abundant sunshine is the guarantee of quality and yield. Therefore, only California, the Mediterranean region and Xinjiang Inner Mongolia of China are the world's most concentrated tomatoes in the world. Origin!

The tomato base can more fully fill the power of the "sun".

So Liu Maoxing chose the most common way of making "vegetarian meat", which is to use real meat broth to add flavor to the vegetarian meat.

There are five kinds of soups Liu Subaru chooses. If it is not that time is not enough, Liu Subaru would probably choose top soup or clear soup...

One of the five stocks is beef stock, which is made with beef and beef bones, served with onions, raw chives, and star anise; the two are chicken stocks, see Chicken Top Soup; the three are bone soups, with pork bones and chicken Bone as the main material; the four are mutton broth, with mutton, mutton bones and haggis as the main material, with Angelica dahurica, cinnamon, grass fruit, tangerine peel, and almond to balance the fishy smell, and at the same time make the fishy smell set off the faint medicinal fragrance ; The five are ham stock, which is made with Jinhua ham, which is the most suitable for soup, and boiled with Jinhua ham and scallops!

Although Liu Subaru makes spaghetti, he refers to the most orthodox Chinese cooking methods in the sauce and side dishes... soup dishes!

From the beginning to the end, in addition to the ingredients, only natural spices were used, and no artificial condiments and ground spice powder were used. Even salt, only the salt in Jinhua ham was used!

After that, Liu Subaru was prepared to roll the bean curd, bean curd, and bean dregs in different proportions, then wrap it tightly on the outside with sterile gauze, and then put the whole into the broth to boil.

The "vegetarian meat" rolled into five different proportions of soy products simulates the taste of beef, chicken, pork, lamb and ham, and is also dipped in five different stocks!

Then add another portion of tomato juice, add basil, oregano leaves, thyme and other traditional Italian spices for seasoning, and then cook until the juice is collected, and the tomato juice and the soft and rotten tomatoes underneath are stirred together to show the state of sauce.

Finally, mix five kinds of vegetarian meat with tomato sauce and pour it on the cooked golden pasta...

This is also one of the reasons why Pleiades Liu chose spaghetti instead of traditional Chinese hot noodles. Although "vegetarian meat" has a taste and taste similar to meat at this time, their taste is foreign after all. If they are cooked with noodle soup If it is, the taste will definitely be dispersed into the soup, and if the broth is used directly, the taste will be heavy!

Therefore, what Liu Subaru can choose must be dishes that do not need to be cooked after the "vegetarian meat" is made.

Spaghetti can be served directly with sauce, and Pleiades Liu is in the stock, and some tomato juice is added, so the "vegetarian" taste can be harmonious even if it has not been cooked with the tomato-based sauce. Carrying...

If Xie Yunlong's "consolation" is to comfort the dead, then Liu Subaru's "sun" is to nourish the living!

The five kinds of "vegetarian" pasta have countless changes in taste due to different combinations. They have been constructed in the heart of Xie Yunlong. Under the sun, the scene of countless creatures living in the world is flooded with all kinds of frosty competitions. Freedom means...

Life and death, this moment in the hearts of Liu Maoxing and Xie Yunlong, is constantly rotating.

The weakness of the "Comforting Spirit" Chef Heart in the cooking confrontation has once again appeared.

Although the recipes of the Bailuo family are very delicious when ordinary people come to taste it, the feeling brought by the "comforting spirit" cooking heart is also liked by many emperors...

But in the "Cooking Showdown", if you encounter more energetic and vibrant cuisine, the effect of "Soothing Spirit" will be at a disadvantage!

Of course, even if ordinary cooks are vigorous, they can't be Xie Yunlong's opponent...just saying that, it will be easier to dissipate the emotions in people's hearts that are inspired by the "consolation" cooking heart.

For example, during the "China First" period, when Xie Lu on the ship Lou Lin faced Logan, Xie Lu's "golden laugh" was to a large extent taking advantage of Logan!

Xie Luna's attribute is biased towards the flourishing heart of the kitchen, suppressing the effect of Logan's "soothing" heart...

This suppression is not due to restraint. In fact, the two cooking attributes are relative, not mutually restrained. The reason for this effect is that the judges are also alive!

If they were to quell their unjust souls in southern Xinjiang, it is estimated that a few "golden laughs" would continue, and the whole river would be boiled with the half-ridiculous "guckling" laughter.

And now this "life and death" confrontation reappears in the hearts of Liu Subaru and Xie Yunlong...

At the same time, in terms of the legendary kitchen utensils, Liu Maoxing guessed that Xie Yunlong should now also be able to use the magic holy bronze utensils that have become "cursed kitchen utensils"...

However, Liu Maoxing’s cooking room did not have dry ingredients that needed to be soaked, and the "dead noodles" also prohibited the fermentation of noodles, leaving no room for the "perfect reproduction" and "multiple accumulation" of the magic sacred bronzes!

On the contrary, after the final duel with Paul before Liu Subaru, the effect of the "Greed Wolf Pot" absorbed by the "Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot" was still there. After Liu Subaru designed the shape of the soy products that can express the taste of meat, he used "Greed" The power of "Wolf Pot" cuts perfectly...

It can be said that after possessing the power of the "wolf-greedy pot", Liu Subaru's sword skills can only be described as unpredictable. Previously, Liu Subaru's sword skills were still slightly inferior compared to Xie Yunlong and Lin Yi, but now it has already surpassed it. !

Even so, Liu Subaru's overall cooking skills are undoubtedly inferior to Xie Yunlong, but from the beginning, he abolished the old Shu Han who knew Yunlong and all the skills of "fat noodles". After that, "vegetable meat" was used to limit the performance of "consoling spirit", which greatly narrowed the gap between the two!

As if it was a replay of the battle of pastry on the ship Lou Lin, Xie Yunlong’s “White Jade Pouring Soup” seemed to have the power to soothe all the dead, and Liu Subaru’s “Multiple Pasta with Meat” focused on all life in the world. The praise of the...

Finally, when Liu Subaru opened his eyes, he saw that the surrounding environment gradually returned to normal, and Master Jie's sturdy figure slowly shrivelled back.

The blue veins and red eyes that were the sequelae of "xiuxian" have disappeared, but the black eye circles are only dimmed, and his face is pale, and he looks exhausted... No, it is exhausted.

Yes, just now, both Liu Subaru and Xie Yunlong got their own answers in their hearts!

Under various objective conditions, the praise of the living goes beyond the comfort of the dead...

Seeing Master Jie swayed suddenly, as if he was about to fall, Liu Subaru's eyes swiftly rushed over, and Master Jie hugged him.

"Jie Lao? Are you okay?"

Thinking of the scene where Paul fainted directly after the failure of the "Dark Cooking Showdown", Liu Subaru couldn't help but feel a little worried!

You must know that Pleiades Liu was already doing his best to restrain him. If Pleiades Liu loses instead, it is definitely not as simple as fainting.

But now...Although Paul is not young, he is considered a mature man compared to Master Jie. Besides, he is exhausted...cough cough, exhaustion is a phenomenon that appears in the elderly, which is inherently very dangerous!

Suddenly Liu Subaru saw Xie Yunlong's eyelids move, and said quickly: "Jie Lao? Would you like me to take a pen with you, you write the will first... lest you get confused later!"

"Believe it or not, leave a death message and draw a picture of the stars of the Pleiades?" Xie Yunlong said angrily.

"..."

Facts have proved that although Master Jie is at least one Jiazi older than Paul, but in terms of physical fitness, Paul may not be as good as Master Jie!

Confirming that Master Jie is okay, Pleiades Liu also gave up on recalling more than 800 episodes of Conan that he had watched, and assisting him in forging his alibi.

After all, Liu Subaru doesn’t even know that death in the "Dark Cooking Showdown" is a manslaughter...

"By the way! Jie Lao, if there is nothing to do, can I take a look at your'Magic Sage Bronze'?" Liu Subaru said suddenly.

Because Xie Yunlong didn't have the opportunity to use the ability of "Magic Sacred Bronze Ware" before, Liu Subaru's "Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot" did not include the function of "Magic Sacred Bronze Ware".

Although Xie Yunlong just lost, he does not seem to have any psychological burden...

After all, he has lived through an era, and his old man has already seen through the victory or defeat. Without the influence of the "curse", he would not care about it at all.

This is also the reason why he discovered that he was on Liu Subaru Xing because of the existence of the heart of the "consoling spirit", and he actually felt the "winning spirit", and suddenly felt that it was an incredible thing, and then doubted his own state. one.

Xie Yunlong is also very surprised now that he can actually use the true power of the "Magic Holy Bronze Ware". It seems that these dragon chefs are also a blessing in disguise...

However, he was still a little worried and said, "I have really cleared the curse now, am I?"

"It should be like this, according to Master Xu Ling's statement..."

"Then, can your dragon-patterned jade dragon pot be transferred?" Xie Yunlong asked with a serious face.

"Unfortunately, not... and I am not going to'transfer' this responsibility." Liu Subaru shrugged.

Obviously, Xie Yunlong, like the "two" Liu Maoxing, also has extraordinary self-confidence, and believes that he will have a higher success rate than others if he fights against other dragon chefs.

Even if he had just lost to Liu Subaru, he did not shake Xie Yunlong's confidence in the slightest.

Not to mention this victory or defeat, it was originally formed under the bias of many objective conditions. Even if the objective conditions are not considered, the subjective Jie Yunlong, or the confidence of all top chefs, is not once. The two wins and losses can be shaken.

"Jie Lao... About the other dragon chefs, please explain to me!" Liu Subaru said suddenly.

Paul's mental state was not very good before, and his usual dealings with other dragon chefs were limited to the social aspect. They were not good enough to learn from each other's cooking. Although he could become a dragon chef, Paul's "greed" for cooking is beyond doubt. , But after becoming the dragon chef and the president of the Michelin Food Federation, he is destined to have fewer opportunities to learn from others.

But Xie Yunlong is different...

This product has been wandering around the world for decades...Liu Subaru believes that while caring for younger women, he will definitely find some famous chefs to learn cooking skills!

Liu Subaru asked Paul a similar question before. Paul’s answer was that he was not clear to others, but he said that Xie Yunlong was his least sure opponent...

Because when he first became Chef Long, Xie Yunlong had met him in private anonymously. Although it was not long after Paul became Chef Long, he recalled now that he also felt that Xie Yunlong should be very good at that time. Strong!

"Other dragon chefs? Actually, I know them, basically before they became dragon chefs... Except for Lin Yi and Seiichiro, after they became dragon chefs, I also learned from them, especially Lin Yi, I often find He learned from each other." Xie Yunlong said.

Seeing Liu Subaru's nervousness, Xie Yunlong couldn't help but say, "Don't be nervous, but don't be too optimistic... In fact, after becoming a chef, everyone has similar strengths, and at most they develop in the breadth of cooking! You can beat Paul And I, theoretically, have the ability to defeat other dragon chefs... and at the same time, it is possible to lose to any dragon chef!"

"You are always humble, are you? I heard President Paul say that he said... he is the least sure..."

"Yes! The degree of'unsure' at most differs among any dragon chefs!" Xie Yunlong said.

Later, Xie Yunlong also spent the whole afternoon introducing Liu Subaru to the basic characteristics of Lin Yi and Seiichiro’s cooking skills. It can also be seen that Xie Yunlong’s physique is indeed better than Paul’s, and even made a few of them by himself. Eating, drinking, talking...

However, at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Subaru starred again. Xie Yunlong, who knew the reason, didn't urge him, but started to drink and drink by himself.

Until Liu Subaru's cell phone rang...
