Zhimi's eyes narrowed.
He wanted to challenge Carlos-style seafood cooking by combining the Donghuang style with spicy flavor!
Nonsense... The strong spicy taste may bring pain and stimulation to the diners, but what makes the guests linger on the taste is the umami taste!
Beside him, his partner Octopus Bucket was silently washing the ingredients.
Shimi prepared a unique ingredient, which was the ink from the octopus barrel.
Many diners cannot accept this unique taste, but a small dose of ink can better bring out the umami flavor in seafood dishes!
Zhimi became more confident of winning and looked towards Lu Ye.
Lu Ye and Cong Youbing work together to process the ingredients in an orderly manner.
"He plans to use green onion leaves as flavoring?" Zhimi frowned slightly.
The green onions in Onion Duck are a favorite delicacy of countless diners, and they can also produce a wonderful chemical reaction with tofu...
Smelling the spicy smell in the air, Zhimi raised his eyebrows.
However, even the 'Flamingo-level' spiciness has no chance against my Shimi's seafood dishes!
The timer on the big screen shows the passage of time.
Lurina sat among the audience and pursed her lips.
She was intrigued by Shimi's seafood dishes... but she also loved the Donghuang style dishes.
I am looking forward to what kind of masterpiece these two will serve!
Beep—
Time resets to zero.
Lu Ye and Shimi completed the last step of cooking at the same time!
Zhimi, wearing a white chef's robe, looked at Lu Ye inquiringly.
Lu Ye smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to make a "please go first" gesture.
Zhimi nodded slightly, straightened his back, and walked towards the judges' seat with a bowl of dish.
The octopus barrel used two tentacles to press against the cup and plate, while the rest of its tentacles moved on the ground.
When the lid was unveiled, the audience held their breath.
“Seafood Bisque with Waterside Herbs.”
Shimi said calmly, "Please judge."
Pakila had tasted Shimi's cooking several times before. She sniffed the aroma and said with a smile, "You seem to feel a sense of crisis, Shimi."
"Whether it's Pokémon battles or cooking, it needs to be done to the level of art."
Shimi said calmly: "This is just my personal code of conduct."
Pakila shrugged slightly, picked up the silver spoon, scooped up the rich soup, and put it to her red lips.
After closing her eyes and savoring the taste for a long time, Pakila sighed, "It's hard to imagine... how desperate it would be to not be able to taste the food you cook."
"In addition to the scent of vanilla by the water, I seem to taste another scent..." Uncle Fu said lightly.
Shimi raised the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "It's my partner, Octopus Bucket's Ink."
The audience was talking about it.
“The ink brings out the umami flavor of the dish even better. It’s a very creative work.”
Xitron nodded seriously: "I think it tastes very good!"
All three judges gave extremely high praise.
Everyone looked at Teacher Lu's back with regret.
No matter how excellent the food is, it will be useless in front of the "legendary chef" Shimi.
at the same time.
Lu Ye and Cong Youbing brought three dishes to the judging table.
He slowly lifted the lid of the cup, and the audience stared with wide eyes.
The aroma filled the nostrils of the audience and judges, and the hot air in front of their eyes formed a golden light.
This dish - it glows!!
Under Zhimi's incredulous gaze.
Lu Ye said:
"My strongest area is not spicy food..."
Lu Ye's eyes narrowed: "It's the fruit of the tree!"
Shimi was startled.
Tree fruits... It's so all-encompassing that it's hard for any chef to claim that 'tree fruits' is their specialty.
However, Zhimi looked at Mr. Lu's cooking and swallowed his saliva.
The ray of light just now was made up of three kinds of golden tree fruits, including golden cranberries!
"Magic Mapo Tofu."
Lu Ye said: "Please use it."
Pakila, Fu Ye and Xitron looked at each other.
Having made up his mind, Pachila, with cold sweat on his forehead, tremblingly scooped a spoonful of tofu soaked in red soup.
Reaching to her red lips, Pakila took a sip of the soup at the corner of her mouth, and a warm current surged in her chest.
It tastes spicy, but it doesn't cause any irritation when you take a bite, and there is no stress response in the stomach or intestines.
The taste combines the spicy, fragrant, hot and numb taste of Mapo Tofu, mixed with the crispy and numbing taste.
Thunder fruit!
Pakila suddenly woke up.
As Lu Ye said, he used the fruit to give it a spicy flavor, while also stimulating the deliciousness of Mapo Tofu.
It was as if he fell on a piece of soft tofu, and was bounced up by the elastic tofu. Spices and fruits from all directions flew towards him. A huge figure, Lu Ye, held the handle of the pot, cooking the tofu, fruits and himself together!
"Ah..." Pakila let out a breath, his eyes misty under his red sunglasses, his face slightly red, he came to his senses and said, "It's worthy of the name of magic!"
"In that case... let's vote." Mr. Fu sighed.
"Yeah!" Xitron nodded vigorously with red juice on his lips.
beep-
The audience looked stunned, then burst into enthusiastic applause.
Shimi's pupils contracted.
The big screen showed a score of [2:1], and I actually lost!
The legendary chef lost to the champion chef!
As per tradition, Lu Ye handed Shimi a spoon and asked him to taste it himself.
"No need... I have to go back and study the dishes, and try to reach your level as soon as possible." Zhimi declined.
Lu Ye:
Why don't you play by the rules
Half an hour later.
Lu Ye, Kojiro and Xiao Gang advanced to the top ten and were awarded the honorary title of "Chef Carlos".
"I didn't expect that the ridiculously strong Shimi would be eliminated by you."
Kojiro breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately I didn't meet him!"
"Huh... After I get the award, I can give Jiro an explanation when I go back." Xiao Gang said.
Lu Ye glanced at the duck holding the trophy beside him, stroked its head, and said with a smile:
"Poor hospitality!"
"Ga! (????)σ" The onion soldiers didn't dare to move at all.
There are cooks everywhere. It's too dangerous.
Let me go home!
Chapter 755: Beginning of Winter Gathering! The Tree of Promise and Gifts
The two-day food festival came to an end.
During this period, Teacher Lu defeated Zhimi in the field of cooking, which surprised many viewers.
I thought you were just a character for the championship... I didn't expect you are actually an exceptional chef!
The netizens who watched the live broadcast said: "It's so delicious."
"Gold medal chef, Mr. Lu."
"This bowl, this bowl is for rice to be eaten with nine colors!"
Pokémon chefs, like Pokémon breeders, are respected professions. The food they make, such as curry rice and Pokémon fritters, can even be used to breed Pokémon and deepen the intimacy between them.
If Mikoli is called a "champion coordinator" and Daigo is called a "champion collector (miner)"...
Then Mr. Lu is the “champion chef”.
"It fits the setting of the East Glory Champion very well!"
"As expected of you, Kitchen God."
"Someone at Station B released a restoration video using 7 kinds of fruit. It's so scary!"
Afterwards, a UP host recreated Mr. Lu’s “Magic Mapo Tofu”.
In the video, the UP host used seven kinds of fruits such as cherry fruit and thunder fruit to give it the taste of spicy, fragrant, colorful, hot, numb and crispy. In order to restore the "golden light effect", he even specially got rare golden fruits.
Finally, when the steaming hot mapo tofu came out of the oven, the screen was filled with 'ohhhh'.
The UP host said frankly:
"It's not easy to make, and I spent a lot of money. Besides, Mr. Lu's cooking skills are hard to imitate, so I can only try to reproduce it. I hope everyone understands and supports it three times."
"Yes."
"It's for sure this time!"
"Oh my god, the UP host and Mr. Lu are really famous tree fruit celebrities!"
The so-called tree fruit masters are experts in planting and caring for tree fruits. If you encounter such trainers in previous games, they will warmly give you tree fruits.
Then, Teacher Lu would usually pull out all the fruit trees that they had worked so hard to plant outside their house - what an evil villain.
The last event of the food festival is the selection of the most popular stores.
The trio's shop won first place with its affordable prices, delicious food and super high popularity.
Mr. Lu was busy with the food war, and his shop came in second. Xiaogang came in third, making some money to supplement the family income.
Xiaolan's store ranked first on the negative review list because of its small amount of ingredients and poor taste.
(Little Blue: The customer doesn’t know the quality of the dish. Even Little Red, Little Green, and Professor Oak said it was good after tasting it.
Xiaoyin: “…”
Even if you live in Pallet Town, they wouldn't dare to give a bad review.)
Without telling Musashi, Kojiro and Meow Meow used the money they earned to secretly customize an extremely expensive and gorgeous costume to support Musashi in participating in the "Triple Crown Satellite Tournament".
Musashi's measurements are exactly the same as Kojiro's fiancée's, so there's no need to ask, making it easy to conceal.
The costumes were designed and produced by "Pokémon Style Master" Melissa: a purple dress in the style of a noblewoman, a fan with a sparkling amethyst luster, a green agate pendant, and a ruby necklace.
"It's really expensive!" Kojiro said bitterly. Not only did he lose all his earnings, but he also had to pay for it with his previous savings.
