Chapter 3550 Victory or Loss
The noodles at the entrance are not only chewy, but even chewy. If it wasn't full of fish flavor, they would even think it was made of flour.
In the current situation, Fubuki was actually at a slight disadvantage. After all, creativity, freshness and surprise can only be felt for the first time.
The two of them unanimously chose fish instead of flour to make noodles. In fact, there was a bit of a collision of creativity. Even if the two of them started chatting at the same time, Yukihira Joichiro's food would be served first, so he would naturally have an advantage.
However, the situation in front of them was obviously beyond everyone's expectation. After all, in their opinion, the lack of chewiness in fish noodles is a defect, and the best a chef can do is to make up for such defects, just like Yukihira Joichiro.
But Fubuki's side is completely different. Tendon has become a selling point in her cuisine. To describe it in one sentence, it turns decay into magic and disadvantage into advantage.
"How... how is it possible? It's obviously made of fish, but how can it be so chewy?" One of the judges couldn't help but ask.
"The answer is very simple. In fact, you only need to look at the cross section here to know." Fubuki said with a smile. As she said before, she was quite enjoying it now.
Except for Linton, all the judges looked at the cross-section of the noodle and quickly discovered that this noodle was not an ordinary noodle, but had two layers, inside and outside, with something wrapped inside.
"This is..." Nakiri Senzaemon subconsciously pulled out the thing inside the noodles, and then his whole body was shocked, "This is a squid..."
"That's right, cutting the squid into shreds and wrapping it with fish meat can provide the chewy texture of noodles to the originally loose fish meat. This is my special noodle, catfish noodle." Fubuki said.
Fubuki's words shocked all the judges, and they were actually so creative. They had never noticed that Fubuki actually used squid as an ingredient before, so even though fish was also used to make noodles, their sense of surprise did not diminish at all, but they felt even more shocked.
"Hmm...I see." Nakiri Senzaemon nodded, and then tried the sea bream roll again, and it turned out to be impeccable. Whether it's noodles, soup or side dishes, it's still perfect. If his clothes hadn't exploded just now, he would probably have torn them again.
"It's simply...perfect." Nakiri Senzaemon did not hesitate to praise him, and then looked at Yukihira Joichiro here.
From the look in Nakiri Senzaemon's eyes, Yukihira Seiichiro could already see Nakiri Senzaemon's choice. It was obvious that he would vote for Fubuki in the subsequent vote.
Again, although Joichiro Yukihira represents the academy, and Nakiri Senzaemon is indeed having a headache due to this losing streak, he has always been fair and just in the selection of food, and whoever wins will win. , he will never have any bias.
"Can I try Fubuki-san's cooking?" Yukihira Joichiro said.
"Of course, I have done a lot." Fubuki nodded. After all, Yukihira Joichiro was not the first person to say this. Those who had played against her basically asked to try it, wanting to know where they lost.
Besides, Linton always eats a lot, so he and the college agreed to make more food. Soon Yukihira Joichiro also tried Fubuki's cooking, and almost instantly, he knew where the difference was.
The biggest problem is the taste. His fish noodles have been dried, so although they are chewy, they are obviously a bit hard. But Fubuki's catfish noodles use a double-layer structure to solve the problem of chewy texture without affecting the taste.
It can only be said that his cuisine has some ingredients that are meant to be tested, just to cope with the theme of face-to-face, and it does not take advantage of the characteristics of the ingredients themselves. Hairtail or something else might be more delicious if cooked differently.
But Fubuki's cooking was simply more delicious the way she did it, and he was completely blown away by it.
"I...I lost." Yukihira Joichiro had nothing to struggle with and said directly.
"Yes." Nakiri Senzaemon nodded slightly, and had nothing to say. Even if it was a vote, he felt that this was the result.
"In fact, I also know the city on the Chinese coast you mentioned." Linton here also spoke and said with a smile, "Although I have never eaten local cuisine, as a kind of local specialty The cuisine may have some characteristics...but that's all. Have you ever thought that the reason why the local fishermen cook the food is not because it is so delicious, but because the ingredients can be preserved for a long time. It will be longer, that’s all?”
Yukihira Joichiro was stunned for a moment and looked at Linton.
"It's really good to travel around and gain experience, but when it comes to learning, you can't just learn a superficial knowledge. Of course, you Japanese people seem to have always been like this. If you only learn a superficial knowledge, don't just show it off, okay?" Linton laughed. He said, "It's good to increase your knowledge, but how to transform it into your own is the key, isn't it?"
Yukihira Joichiro listened silently. It was true that he only paid attention to the delicious food when he went to various places. He had never paid attention to how these delicious foods appeared before. Hearing what Linton said, he felt as if he had only learned a little bit.
Of course, the actual situation is still the same. In terms of cooking skills, Linton doesn't know how to comment at all, so what should I do? It's the same old routine, just talk about other things.
What we are playing is sublimation. Don’t you think you can understand some great truths by cooking? What Linton said to you is the truth. It revolves around a point of view: if you don't cook well, your life will be over. Anyway, this is the world of cooking. Focusing on this theme, others are not only convinced, but also feel that you are a very profound person.
After being judged for four consecutive days, Linton has become quite accustomed to this routine. Now Linton is not only able to pass the review session, but even several people next to him think that Linton is a super expert, even though he has never cooked any food.
"Dad actually lost?" At this time, Soma Yukihira in the audience also looked at Joichiro Yukihira who lowered his head in surprise. Although he didn't intend to change his mind at noon today, after all, practice is more important now, but he didn't expect to see his father lose the cooking duel.
You must know that he has played against his father 490 times and lost 490 games in a row. Although he refused to admit defeat verbally, he still knew his father's ability in his heart.
However, such a father actually lost to the opponent? While he was surprised, he also felt a little anxious in his heart. Yes, he wants to compete in Shokugeki again. He really loves cooking and really wants to compete with the opponent.
