The dazzling starlight of the halberd

"Oh oh? Look, her face is getting redder and red...what's the matter, have you gotten into trouble with Tai Chi?"

When everyone was at a loss, Liu Xingyao finally remembered something when he saw Xi Yangxi put out such a strange combination of ingredients and made such a strange action.

In the last life, Liu Xingyao had the honor to read an ancient book, which recorded some ancient recipes and records of some lost cooking techniques.

In Chinese cuisine, there is a saying that "food regenerates and restrains each other". This is because the five elements theory has been popular in China since ancient times.The Five Elements Secret Art means that everything in the world has its own attributes.The five elements respectively refer to the five types of metal, wood, water, fire and earth.

Because of the different attributes, all things will mutually reinforce each other. This is the so-called [Five Elements Theory].Metal, wood, water, fire, and soil have different properties. For example, wood has the property of growth and development; fire has the property of hot and upward; soil has the property of peace and existence; gold has the property of killing and astringent; water has the property of cold Cool and moisturizing.The Five Elements Theory includes the nature categories of all things in nature into these five categories!

The five elements restrain each other: gold restrains wood, wood restrains soil, soil restrains water, water restrains fire, and fire restrains gold.

The five elements are born with each other: gold produces water, water produces wood, wood produces fire, fire produces soil, and earth produces gold.

The five elements said that the same applies to the ingredients used, such as beef liver and crucian carp, if they are cooked together and eaten together, they will be unpalatable to eat.This is because the attribute of beef liver is [wood] and the attribute of crucian is [earth]!According to the law of the five elements, the two are mutual restraint.And even if people eat it, sometimes it will seriously damage the body's balance and cause harm.The so-called mutual restraint combination of food is like this!

Of course, there are also related ingredients, such as beef and potatoes.Beef belongs to [Wood] and potato belongs to [Fire]. The two are born together and boiled together, the taste is naturally good, allowing consumers to eat without any resistance.

The so-called chef wants to make delicious dishes. If the five elements are used, it is to maximize the "coexistence" of the ingredients used.With the coexistence of more kinds of ingredients, the dishes made are naturally the upper level, and the eater will naturally be extremely happy after eating it!

In today's modern...or the entire far month, almost all chefs are thinking about how to "match (combine)" the ingredients and make the most delicious dishes.And almost no chef will try to match those irrelevant ingredients.Such as honey and squid whiskers, catfish and beef liver...

Of course, there are chefs with abnormal thinking like this, such as Xingping and his sons, and then Xi Yangxi who is currently playing.

Chapter 221 Three-layer Snow Cake

Looking at Xi Yangxi doing a series of strange actions in the cooking venue, combined with the records in the ancient book, Liu Xingyao knew that Xi Yangxi was [practiceing Qi] now!

Catfish and beef liver, small red beans, and lamb tripe, these are all counter-products, if they are cooked together, they will be extremely harmful to the human body, and their taste is also extremely unpalatable!The "poison" of the food combination that harms the human body has a defensive instinct in the body of a normal person. When something unpalatable is eaten, it will be vomited out by reluctantly eating in time.

And the so-called "qi" just now refers to the "force" contained and flowing in the food.Xi Yangxi can use a strong qi from his body, and then collect and release it with his natural qualities and acquired cultivation.This kind of qi can change the arrangement of ingredients [gold, wood, water, fire, and earth], which is also [qi].Make it change the characteristics of the surface, that is, [taste]!It becomes delicious, and the inner essence is a toxin, and instead of disappearing, it becomes stronger.

I wanted to restrain. The poisonous ingredients changed their attributes under the action of "qi". While maintaining the original toxicity, there are outstanding top-level dishes that are extremely delicious. Once this kind of food is eaten by the eater, The consequences could be disastrous!

According to the records of ancient books, different poisons of Xiangke will have different effects after being eaten... For example, the eater loses consciousness, temporarily listens to the instructions of the cook, or causes adverse reactions due to vomiting and diarrhea...

Liu Xingyao never expected that cooking techniques that would only appear in ancient books would appear in this place now... and the person who uses this ancient cooking technique is actually a person about his size... At this moment, Liu Xingyao also realized that. It is not easy to call a neo organization. It is estimated that there are many "special abilities" like Xi Yangxi in front of him.

While Liu Xingyao was secretly exclaiming, Xi Yangxi also completed her "qi training", and the people next to Ji Xingliao also exclaimed.

"Hey, did I read it wrong? How do I feel that those ingredients have become more shiny?"

I saw the catfish, beef liver, small red beans and lamb tripe on the Xiyangxi cooking table, as if they were coated with a layer of lard, shining under the light~!

Liu Xingyao knows that this is a successful expression of "qi training", and it also shows that the "attributes" of these four ingredients have been changed.

"It's really weird... After that person played Tai Chi, the ingredients have become more shiny? It's incredible..." Sakura Ryoko said in confusion.

At the same time, in a corner of the conference hall

As a family of traditional Chinese medicine, Feisha, who is proficient in medicinal cooking, his face changed greatly after seeing the four ingredients that Xi Yangxi took out on the cooking table.

"Then...the four ingredients...no, it's no good!" Scarlett standing behind Erina said suddenly.

When Erina heard this, she couldn't help turning her head and looking at her in confusion and asked, "Fishsha, what can't you say?"

"Catfish and beef liver, small red beans and lamb tripe, if these two groups of ingredients are cooked together, they will produce toxins, and they will be unpalatable and inaccessible!" Fei Shao said in surprise.

"Will produce poison?" Erina was still a little puzzled.

Feisha further explained: "Although...Although it is not the kind of poison that makes people eat it, it will cause a certain degree of harm and adverse reactions to the body, such as diarrhea."

"Really? But, the judges will definitely not say anything made with such a combination of ingredients!" Erina said.

But Scarlett’s cheeks were a little sweaty, and he thought to himself: That person should know that the ingredients in this combination are poisonous and unpalatable to eat... But why did she take out these ingredients, and it was in the autumn competition!?

However, in contrast to Xi Yangxi’s series of strange combinations of ingredients and actions that made most people confused about the situation, Tacmi’s "performance" made everyone cheer!

The cooking time passed bit by bit. In the last half an hour, Tacmi took the lead in completing his own dessert dishes.

Takumi carried his own dishes in his left and right hands, walked in front of the judging stage with a very elegant posture, and put his own dishes in front of the five judges.

Tacmi's lips moved slightly, and he spit out a bunch of Italian: "TIPrego, assaggia (please taste the meaning in Italian)!"

Several judges looked down and saw the beautiful [Snow Cake] in front of them!

"Oh oh oh, so beautiful!"

"Fried candy kernels exuding a scent... Freeze the fresh milk and place it at room temperature for half-thaw, like a sandwich like ice cream! Every process is very delicate!" Judge a exclaimed.

Nagiri Senzaemon also nodded slightly, took the spoon and said, "Then... try it!"

Several judges picked up the spoons in their hands and swallowed a spoonful of cake that was soft like a sponge plate from the top of the cake.

"The difference in taste formed by the three-layer structure...you can feel it just by cutting it with a spoon."

After Judge B put the cake in his mouth, he could not help but groaned deliciously: "The refreshing sweetness of lemon spreads in the mouth... There is no odor at all! The taste is completely integrated... The aroma of almonds comes out. , Sweet and smooth, the girl's heart in my body is about to wake up..."

Seeing such a strong reaction from the judges, Takumi was not a bit surprised, and said: "I would choose almond sponge cake...because the taste of this kind of cake and fried candies matches very well... the weight of the cake will also exude almonds. The aroma, while maintaining the harmony of taste!"

Strong!Blowing through the Mediterranean wind, the lemon branches and leaves shook easily. So far, these judges have eaten countless snow cakes, and they are very clear about the taste of Italian limoncello... But the snow burial cake made by Tacmi is completely different. The flavor!

"What's the matter with this overwhelming flavor? And what exactly is the third layer of golden object..." Judge C exclaimed.

Takumi gracefully raised his right hand again and slowly said, "That's...Lemon curd (Lemon, curd)!"

"Lemon?"

"Curd?"

Most people in the auditorium heard these two words because they were unclear.

Chapter 222 Shuangpin Mooncakes

Takumi explained to everyone and the judges in front of him: "This word means [solidified]..."

[Lemon curd] This seasoning originated in the United Kingdom. After mixing eggs and lemon juice with a whisk, heat them into a paste-like object. The history is extremely long and even the royal brand of the British royal family!

"This curd exudes the elegant sweetness of lemon, which gradually melts in the mouth and blends with the dense golden egg sponge cake! What a refreshing taste... The loosely structured egg sponge cake absolutely cannot do this. One point!" Judge C praised.

It stands to reason that Takumi should only be familiar with Italian cuisine, but he did not expect that he was involved in British seasonings.

"The ingredients for lemon milk are eggs, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest! And the cream mixed with this..." Takumi said, taking out a bottle of olive oil and presenting it in front of everyone.

Seeing Tacmi take out the olive oil, many people are surprised.

"Oh oh oh, it can be used like this... As expected of a student from Italy, he knows the nature of olive oil quite well! The refreshing aroma of olives and lemon are also quite compatible..." Pinshen Xiao B touched his chin and thought.

Nageri Senzaemon finally opened his mouth and said, "That's it... That is to say, your and this curd should be named [Italian lemon curd] (lemon, curd, ital, iano), really never The new seasonings I have seen...[Three-layer Snow Cake] made with such new seasonings are naturally full of new ideas...there is nothing to say about the taste!"
