Chapter 3462 Secret Skill
"... It seems that the good players on both sides have completed their works at this time. This time both sides spent a long time. It seems that they have tried their best." Ma Lin said.
Indeed, this duel took quite a long time, and Linton even felt a little impatient with the waiting.
Mainly because he didn't mention the time after confirming the rules of the competition before. Linton thought that chefs in this world cook in a hurry, and based on previous experience, it should be fast. I didn’t expect it to be particularly slow this time.
But in fact, the two parties have not stopped yet, and the two of them are busy from beginning to end. Linton could even feel that the two of them were still catching the train, but this time the journey to the train station might be a little longer. Maybe as Ma Lin said, they really tried their best.
This is indeed the case. Whether it is Xiang En or Liu Pleiades, they obviously have reasons why they cannot lose.
Liu Pleiaxing wanted to save people, so Xiang En didn't dare to come this time like before. After all, this duel is related to the future of the entire dark cooking world. If he becomes the deputy minister, it will affect the subsequent plans of the entire organization. He must get this position.
If he loses, he doesn't know how to face the leader.
So Xiang En really did his best in cooking this time.
She was the faster one and finished her cooking first. I originally wanted to serve it and let Linton comment first, but I was stopped by Ren, Master Xie and others.
"What do you want to do?" Xiang En asked disdainfully.
"You don't think that the same strategy can work a second time, do you? This time no matter what, you should eat A Subaru's food first." Master Xie said.
It turned out that I was thinking that the third competition just now was also about river fresh food. Didn't Xiang En here use the method of taste paralysis to win? In order to prevent this situation from happening again, the two stopped Xiang En.
"Haha, I don't plan to use the same technique twice." Xiang En said here, "After all, this competition is related to whether I can become the deputy minister. How much... I have to show off my abilities. Real strength.”
Having said that, it seems to make some sense. But Master Renjie didn't believe a word of what this woman said, and he obviously had no intention of getting out of the way.
"What's wrong? This is a duel before the emperor. It's your first time eating halberds. Do you want to stop the players? It's not me who is offended." Xiang En said.
It is true that there are guards nearby ready to come up. This is the first time that Linton is hosting the Shoji. If someone makes trouble, it is obviously not a slap in Linton's face. Of course, the guards will come to maintain order.
Xiang En obviously knew this, so he was not afraid of the two of them blocking his way.
"This..." Looking at the guards who were about to come up, Master Xie didn't know what to do. He was just about to tell Linton about the situation when he suddenly heard Liu Pleiades' voice next to him: "I'm done."
Fortunately, Liu Pleiades was only a little late. At this time, he had already arrived on the stage carrying a huge casserole. Seeing this situation, Ren's reconciliation master here made way. Xiang En quickly put his own food on the table.
It seemed that Xiang En really didn't intend to use the same method as before this time. He put down the plate in a leisurely manner, and then just waited for the review without making any request to eat hers first.
"Oh oh oh, then... let's start the evaluation." Linton nodded, looked at Xiang En who was motionless, and said proactively, "In that case, let's start with the works of the young master."
"..." Although Liu Pleiaxing wanted to say that he didn't have this name, he held it in for a long time and still didn't say it, because he was really worried that he would struggle with this for a while, and Linton would really change his name under the imperial edict. Just pretend you didn't hear it. Taking a step forward, Liu Pleiades directly clasped his fists and opened the lid.
The moment the lid was opened, a ray of light lit up. It was indeed a luminous dish, and the light was very amazing.
Along with the light, there was a strong heat. When everyone looked into the casserole, they could directly see the huge pieces of eel meat, and below was a very shallow clear soup base.
"Liu Pleiaxing specially made steamed river eels, please review." Liu Pleiaxing said with his fists clasped again.
"Steamed river eel." The audience nodded. Steamed river eel is a very common way of cooking river eel. It just sounds like a very simple method, which is to put the river eel in a steamer and steam it, but in fact It's not easy to do at all.
The biggest problem with this cooking method is the earthy smell. It is really difficult to remove the fishy smell from river eels, and the cooking method of steaming is even more inherently inadequate.
Through other methods, such as charcoal grilling, braised, etc., you can use other seasonings to cover up the earthy smell, but if it is steamed, it will have more of the original taste, and the earthy smell will be more prominent.
So the most important thing about this dish is whether it has an earthy smell.
Of course, the audience could only discuss it, but Linton and others must have jumped right into it. Soon, Linton picked up a piece of fish meat. As soon as he put it into his mouth, a very fresh fragrance hit every part of his mouth.
Yes, there is no earthy smell at all. Not only that, there are no other strange smells.
Some methods of removing the earthy smell, such as soaking in vinegar, using garlic, onion, ginger, etc., will mix in other flavors. But the dish in front of me obviously didn't have that, it just had the pure taste of eel, plus some... probably the taste of pork.
"How is it done?" Fubuki next to him was obviously the most curious and couldn't help but ask, "I'm talking about removing the fishy smell. How is it done?"
"Indeed, it is quite miraculous to be able to remove the earthy smell while retaining such a fresh taste." Aizen also said.
Linton glanced at Aizen, this is interesting. Can this guy really be a judge?
"Well, the reason why I can do this is because I used a secret technique... five layers of soup." The young master held out five fingers and said.
"Five-layer soup?" Fubuki asked, obviously having never heard of this thing.
"First, cover the eel meat with pork, brush it with cooking wine, salt, Sichuan peppercorns and other seasonings, steam it with a double steamer with a layer of utensils separated, and squeeze out the excess fat. Then use the best dry goods to make soup and put in Stew the eel meat, then pour out the soup, and then change to another soup and repeat. Repeat this process five times, that is, using five kinds of soup, the eel will absorb the essence of these five kinds of soup. , and remove all the earthy smell at the same time," Liu Pleiades said, "This is the secret technique, five layers of soup."
"I see..." Fubuki nodded, "No wonder it has such a heavy smell."
"Uh..." Linton looked confused. How many flavors? Why didn't I taste so many different flavors? Are they eating the same thing? Fortunately, he didn't speak.
