The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd

In Liu Maoxing’s speculation on Lin Yi and the creation and improvement of his own recipes, a week passed in a blink of an eye and it was Saturday. Although Liu Maoxing did not go to the scene to prevent accidents, but this time he couldn’t help but open it. TV!

After enduring the "long" opening remarks that the emcee seemed to Liu Subaru, finally saw the lineup of both sides.

Sure enough, Erina "willfully" chose "the past" as the topic of his battle.

And on the side of the American Development Council, it is indeed the naginari thistle standing opposite the restaurant titled "Past"!

At the same time, Liu Subaru was surprised that in the three individual matches of this time, Seto Hiromi of the "Seed" did not participate... In the "Future" one, it was Alice who stood.

"The future... is it because of'molecular cuisine'? But Alice is still a bit too immature, right?" Liu Subaru said in a puzzled voice.

It can indeed be seen that in the cooking field entitled "Future", the cooking table on the side of the "Seed Team" has been surrounded by various rare (bu) strange (ming) ancient (jue) and strange (li) equipment.

However, the situation of the "future" group only made Liu Subaru curious, but he was not worried about it. As for the "past" group, because it was broadcast on TV, Liu Subaru did not see anything abnormal, so he could only speculate that the "dark cooking showdown" should be. It's already started.

Because the voices of not knowing what to say kept ringing, it made me more upset, and the director who always switched the camera, Liu Maoxing simply went to the Internet to find it, and there is a website that really specializes in live broadcasts with a fixed perspective, based on Liu Maoxing’s current cooking. You don’t need to listen to the commentary because of your attainments. I specifically looked for the live broadcast of the "past" cooking scene and watched it...

"En? The ingredients of thistle are...eggplant, pumpkin, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, bell peppers, garlic, onions...In addition to common spices, there are also rosemary, oregano, thyme and herbs... It's so vegetarian, wait! Why is there a vaguely familiar feeling?"

Although the angle of the live broadcast is not good, as long as the ingredients and spices appear on the screen, Liu Subaru can judge the type by just a little bit of sight.

At the same time, you can also see the expression of Naginaki thistle full of malice...

Liu Subaru even felt that, including the current Naginaki thistle, and Paul when he was confronted before, the reason why they looked at the confrontation was not suspected, and it should be because the "curse" had an impact on other people.

Although you need to be careful when cooking, the whole process is blank or strange, which is a bit of a violation.

The ingredients you can see here at Erina are eggs, flour, oats, milk, Parma ham, duck, lemon. There are also many special spices. The more eye-catching one is tarragon...

Seeing the ingredients and preparations of Naginata thistle, Liu Subaru frowned, as if he realized something.

"Sure enough... the visual judgment alone may not be accurate, but the vanilla should be the vanilla from Provence, and there are other ingredients... Although there are minor differences, but in general... what is he thinking? Although listening to the painting Rina mentioned it once. It was the first dish that Naakiri Thistle made in her memory and let her taste. It was also the dish that was suspected of causing Ling'er to be suppressed by the parasitic'devil', but...obviously not Is it suitable to be put in the game at this time?" Liu Subaru couldn't help but wonder.

That's right, Liu Subaru guessed what Nanajiji wanted to do...

Provence stew!

A dish made by simmering several kinds of fruits and vegetables together. It was originally a local cuisine from the Provence region of France, but after generations of improvements, it is now a famous French dish...

Previously from the cooking of the chefs of the "central food organization" and the advocacy of Nagaki thistle in Yuanyue Academy, Liu Subaru was vaguely aware that his definition of "feed" was not divided by the quality of the ingredients. , Never made by the cooks he admired, no matter what ingredients are used, it is "feed".

Pleiades Liu believes that this famous French dish derived from local cuisine can shine differently in the hands of Naginata thistle, but still does not think this kind of cuisine is "suitable" for use in competitions!

Provence stew is also called "Provence stew" in Chinese...

The production process of the Tohoku Randou is also very similar. Although the ingredients and spices are different, they are all a kind of dish that uses a large number of "messy" ingredients, first fried and then stewed.

The wide variety of ingredients means that the taste will be very "messy". Although this kind of "messy" cannot be simply defined as "unpalatable", it is definitely a deduction item when used in the competition!

It's like the reason why the Sumo wrestler hot pot prepared by the "Sumo Hot Pot Research Society" was classified as "not suitable for eating halberd" by Liu Maoxing...

As for the naginari thistle that allowed Erina to taste this dish, it was difficult for a strong man to force Erina, who was only five years old, to distinguish the flavor composition of "chaotic stew"!

If you can't distinguish successfully, you will be locked in a small dark room that no one can approach, and you can come out again after the resolution is complete...

At that time, Erina was still young, and such "messy" cooking... Listening to Erina said, she was detained for two days before she was able to distinguish it completely.

In these two days, she spent most of the time crying.

This also constitutes one of the main events of Erina's fear of the "little black house"!

Purely from the perspective of hitting Erina, Nagiri Thistle chose this dish correctly, "right" to the point where Liu Subaru was born and ran to the arena to punch him.

Indeed, Erina also saw something, her expression changed a little, as if she was suppressing instinctive fear...

But from the perspective of the game, Liu Subaru still doesn't think this is a good choice!

Whether it's the original intention of Nakiri thistle or the reason for the "curse", it should make him very important to the victory and defeat. There is no reason not to go all out. Is it to rely on the spirit of attacking Erina to win?

Protecting the "fake jade dragon pot" from being discovered, consolidating one's position in the American Development Council, and the influence of the "curse"... Naginari thistle has too many reasons to long for this victory.

And the style of Provence stew, no matter how delicious it is, it doesn’t match the tall image that Naginata thistle needs to promote for itself, right?

In terms of visual effects, "random stew"-style cuisine does not take advantage of it!

The opponent chose "Provence stew" at this time, which is incomprehensible to Liu Subaru.

At the same time, the kitchen utensils prepared by Naginata cut thistle also attracted Liu Subaru's attention...

"Is that a charcoal grill? What is it for..."

This doubt was quickly answered. I saw that the red pepper was burnt in a charcoal-fired oven, and the various spices and herbs were distracted and weighed until the surface of the red pepper. It has been baked, and then it was taken down.

Liu Subaru knows the unique flavor of the smoked red pepper, but this flavor...it can't be maintained in the stew.

When “simmering”, the smoky flavor will definitely be concealed, and on the contrary, the originally mixed taste of the stew will become even more weird...

The next movement of Naginaki thistle made Liu Subaru even more strange, but he couldn't help but have some guesses.

The skin of the red pepper that has been roasted is peeled off, and the meat part of the red pepper inside does not have any burnt marks, and then the red pepper meat is dice, added to the sauteed onion and garlic, and added the same cut into pieces. The small diced tomatoes, as well as the spices and herbs prepared before, are boiled in a pot...

No extra water is added, just boil with the water in the tomatoes and bell peppers!

"Is this making the sauce?" Liu Subaru's brows wrinkled more and more, and he seemed to understand what some naginata thistles were doing.

While simmering the sauce, Naginata cut thistle and cut other ingredients into round slices. This is slightly different from the common "Provençal stew" that Liu Maoxing knows. There is no zucchini, but there are more pumpkin, lettuce and potatoes... …

Zucchini is also called "Xiaogua" and "Ziangua" in Chinese cuisine. It is a variant of pumpkin and is not as sweet as pumpkin.

Lettuce, to be precise, should be called "stem lettuce", usually everyone said "lettuce" belongs to this category, as the name suggests, stem lettuce is usually the part that eats its "stem", and its counterpart is "leaf lettuce" ", but people usually call it "lettuce" directly in Chinese. Lettuce only refers to "stem lettuce." Which restaurant uses lettuce as lettuce must be destroyed by someone...

Although lettuce is native to the Mediterranean coast and bordered by the Mediterranean in the south, lettuce is naturally grown in France, but in Provence stews, lettuce is usually not added.

Needless to say, potatoes, the scientific name potato, originally produced in South America, was introduced to Western and Chinese cuisines about 600 years ago, and quickly became one of the staple foods of Western cuisines, but usually because of the different maturity period, it does not Potatoes are added to Provence stew, but there is a special "Provence stew potatoes".

Obviously, pumpkins that are larger than other ingredients are cut into small slices with a knife. The smaller lettuce is cut sideways and has a large area. In the end, the slices of several ingredients are almost uniform in size and shape.

Because it was a television broadcast, Liu Subaru could not see the "Feng Ruiwen" of the "Ling Zang Library" in the TV signal, but he could guess that it must have worked!

From the point of view of the "spiritual storehouse", "Provence stew" is quite appropriate.

After "Lingzangku" becomes a cursed kitchenware, the corresponding ingredients that are cursed objects can be said to be the most or the least...

It is effective for all ingredients, but almost all ingredients can prevent it from taking effect...

As a cursed kitchen utensil, Lingzangku is not that human beings are allergic to certain ingredients, but that they greatly reduce the shelf life of all ingredients!

Its normal function, when only its body is used, is equivalent to a portable perpetual refrigerator, and if its full effect is activated, the food can be fixed in a time state...

"Provence stew", as a local cuisine, was originally the product of a variety of vegetables that they had just picked together during the harvest season.

It is conceivable that the "Ling Treasury" may have fixed the used vegetables in the state they have just picked, as if there is no storage process!

The sauce has finally been boiled to the point where the moisture has dried up. The naginata thistle does not seem to be "stewed" at all. Instead, it takes five small iron plates and spreads the sauce evenly on the small iron plates. Then, slices of oval eggplant slices, pumpkin slices, lettuce slices, tomato slices, and potato slices of uniform size are placed on a small iron plate covered with sauce at regular intervals and overlapping each other.

It looks like a colorful swirling lollipop!

Sure enough, I didn't mean to simmer, but chose to directly put five iron plates on the tin foil and put them in the oven...

"That's it!" Liu Subaru said to himself.

Naginata thistle is a "Provence stew" that is changed into a baked dish!

Therefore, in terms of image and taste, the chaos of Provence stew was perfectly overcome...

In the middle of cutting thistle, I also adjusted the temperature of the oven and removed the tin foil. When it was finished, you could see plates of gorgeous "Provence stew"...No, it should be said that it was "Provence grilled dishes". Submit In front of the judges.

Pieces of colorful, neatly arranged roasted melons and fruits slices bloom charmingly in the steaming smoky sauce.

The judges also showed enthusiastic expressions when they saw the colorful grilled dishes in the small plate in front of them. The only thing that contradicted was that after the Naginaki thistle presented the dishes, they did not pay attention to them, but went to Erina's. Next to the counter, there is another plate of "Provence grilled dishes"...

As for Erina's cooking, it has reached the final stage, and the sauce is being poured on the finished product.

"Although the ingredients used are different, it really is'Eggs Benedict'! Really, the recipes chosen are more'weird' than the other..." Liu Maoxing couldn't help but mutter.

Yu Mei, Xiaohui and others at the scene couldn't help but get anxious...

"That's... Eggs Benedict? What is Erina thinking about? Why did you choose a breakfast as a recipe for the game!" Yu Mei couldn't help but rub his head.

That's right, it is the egg breakfast that Erina once made in the last "accommodation training" and buffet-style assessment, but the recipe now is obviously different from the recipe at that time.

"My lovely daughter, do you remember the'Provence stew'? In order to make your'God's tongue' shine, my father made you the first dish! At that time, you still can’t tell the difference. What are the spices and ingredients? I can't guess where they were produced, their category, and how long they were stored separately...

In the end, dad’s method was used to make you distinguish it successfully, right?After mixing with those mediocre talents for so long, I am afraid your talents have also deteriorated!Come and try this improved version of the'Provence Stew' again, and remember what happened back then!Don’t eat feed anymore!"

From the camera, Liu Subaru read out the lip of Nagai thistle...

Sure enough, the Nagai thistle, who was originally hostile to Liu Subaru and Erina, had the most complete self-consciousness in the "Dark Cooking Showdown".

Even Liu Subaru suspected that Najiki thistle might have already added other additional conditions to the bet of the "dark cooking showdown" under his own consciousness!

"Yes, but at the same time, please taste my food!" Erina said.

Seeing Erina's look, Liu Subaru was a little relieved, at least in Erina's current eyes, there was no longer any fear of Naginaki thistle.

The Scarlet Sands at the scene said solemnly: "No, the reason why Miss Erina chose the'Egg Benedict' is probably because... When Miss Erina was four years old, she made it herself for the first time. The dishes are egg dishes!"

"Huh? The first time Koerina made eggs Benedict?" Yuuhime asked in surprise.

Although "Eggs Benedict" is not too complicated, and it is a common breakfast dish in North America, making "Eggs Benedict" for the first time at the age of four is a bit...

"Of course not. Ms. Erina was only four years old at that time. She opened fire for the first time... what she made was an omelette," said Scarlett.

"Fried eggs? What does it have to do with'Eggs Benedict'? Eggs Benedict use poached eggs... Wait! No, so speaking of it, Erinai's'Eggs Benedict' seems It's an omelette!" Yu Mei suddenly reacted.

Eggs Benedict is a common breakfast in North America. Usually a small piece of English muffin cake is prepared as the base, then bacon and side dishes are placed, and a poached egg is topped on top, and the egg is topped with sour and sour. Spicy hollandaise sauce.

However, not only did Erina use completely different side dishes, but everyone also recalled that Erina used omelette instead of "poached egg"!

"Poached egg" refers to an egg that has been blanched in hot water while the yolk is still fluid.

Unlike soft-boiled eggs, boiled eggs are not boiled eggs, but blanched in hot water after removing the shell.

The most tempting thing about "poached egg" is undoubtedly the moment when the table knife pierces the solidified egg white on the outside, and the fluid egg yolk flows out!

However, if you look closely in the close-up, the eggs on Erinai's "Bandini" can be faintly fried under the hollandaise sauce.

"Replace the'poached egg' with'omelette'..."

At the same time, the ingredients used in the "Bandini Egg" made by Erinai this time are also different. Instead of choosing bacon, it uses Italian Parma ham.

As one of the three major hams in the world, Parma ham has the softest texture of all well-known hams. It is different from the hard quality of ordinary hams and is different from Chinese hams that are salted many times during production. Parma ham usually only The salt is applied once, and the amount of salt used is considered small in the ham. After the blood is separated, the smeared sea salt will be washed off and dried, so the taste is not heavy, and it is even called "sweet ham".

Therefore, Parma ham is more not used as a condiment, but can be eaten as a whole slice alone. The fine sliced ​​Parma ham has a dark red color and a translucent color. The fat has a marble texture because it is made. During the process, it smells smoky and can be eaten raw.

The slicing technology of Parma ham can also be used as a reserved item for performances in local Italian restaurants. Even though automatic and semi-automatic slicers are now popular, many restaurants maintain the habit of manual cutting.

At this time, in the improved version of "Bandini" by Erinai, you can see the rolled Parma ham under the omelet, and the wavy curls exposed between the omelet and the base below. People feel very attractive...

And besides Parma ham, you can vaguely see other things...

"It's sliced ​​roast duck," said Xiaohui, who had been watching Erina before.

That's right, after roasting just right, the roast duck was sliced ​​with the belt meat!There are not many eggs in each "Bandini", they brought three or two slices, and they overlapped in the Parma ham...

Speaking of "Roast Duck", the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the "Beijing Roast Duck" in Chinese cuisine, which is already a regional label (well, it is something similar to a landmark!).

However, the "Roast Duck" of Erina is more inclined to "Cantonese Roast Duck", which is also a Chinese cuisine, but tends to be Cantonese cuisine.

Beijing roast duck originated in the Ming Dynasty. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang liked to eat roast duck. At that time, there were many roast duck masters in Yingtianfu, Jinling, and later Nanjing. Later, after the usurper of Ming ancestor Zhu Di, he moved to Shuntianfu and Ye In the later generations of Beijing, many roast duck people also switched to other homes. Since then, Jinling roast duck and Beijing roast duck have been separated...

With the support of the royal family, the reputation of Beijing Roast Duck has gradually changed from Jinling Roast Duck, and then the Cantonese Roast Duck is another new genre derived from Jinling Roast Duck.

Compared with Beijing roast duck, Cantonese roast duck pays more attention to the taste of duck meat. The former is that the duck skin is more fragrant. If according to the most authentic method, Beijing roast duck should be roasted with fruit trees, so that the aromatic substances in the fruit trees are burning and fully It is dissolved in duck meat, and after fusion with the taste of duck meat, it produces an oily but not greasy, salty and sweet flavor.

The authentic Cantonese roast duck inherits the characteristics of Jinling roast duck and uses pine branches and pine cones as fuel.

Because of the different recipes and flavors during roasting, the sauce is different from Peking duck with shredded green onions and sweet noodle sauce. It is better to match it with plum sauce or other slightly sour sauces...

"Have you found that the bread base baked by Erinai is different from half of English muffins. It does not add so much butter and does not have low flour, but uses a mixture of high-gluten flour and baking powder. The ratio of milk is also different from common muffin cakes..." Yuu Ji said suddenly.

"Yes, this way, it should be far from the softness that Muffin has, and the texture should be firmer and chewy...something like German farmer's bread!" Yu Mei nodded.

Liu Subaru, who was watching the live broadcast, also discovered this, and at the same time read from his lips what Najikiji was saying...

"Fried eggs? You haven't given up yet? I should have said at the time that as my daughter, producing feed is absolutely not allowed! Thirteen years... If you have been under my guidance for these thirteen years If it does, it may no longer be possible to produce feed.

It's a pity that neither you nor the father understands... Then I will try to try it hard, the new fodder produced by you who mixed with the untouchables!"

Yes, Hisasha also remembers that after Erina finished the omelet for the first time, she went to her father to taste it with great enthusiasm, but was stepped on the bottom of her feet without a taste of thistle, and rebuked her for " Production of feed"...
