Shortly after Momo started, Xiaotian also moved. His watermelon was instantly divided into eight parts by the phantom, and the complicated cooking movements seemed extremely calm in his hands. When he really started cooking, he no longer paid attention to Nian Bing. Put your heart and soul into your cooking.
However, after the other nine people took action, Nian Bing still maintained the original movement, still closed his eyes, and slowly turned the watermelon in his hand.
With watermelon as the main material, most chefs choose to stir-fry. After all, the fruit plate is too ordinary. In order to win by surprise, the special cooking method will naturally take a lot of advantages.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and the people in the audience were silent at this time. Their eyes were fixed on the ten chefs on the rotating round table, especially Nian Bing, who appeared as a fire dragon. However, they gradually became disappointed, and the round table spun round and round. Nian Bing still didn't take any action. Looking from below, he seemed to have fallen asleep standing up.
The prescribed time for cooking has not changed. Each competition is limited to one hour. After an hour has passed, nearly half of the chefs have completed their works, but Nian Bing is still standing there.
Xiaotian has finished his own cooking, took a long breath, and glanced at the work born in his hands with satisfaction, full of confidence, under the pressure brought by Nian Bing's appearance, he showed his cooking skills at a super level , in the cooking process, using more than a dozen exquisite techniques, there is a great chance of winning. Turning his head to look at Nian Bing, he wanted to see what the magic chef had done. When he saw Nian Bing still standing like that, he couldn't help but froze, why didn't he move yet? What was he thinking about? As a top chef, he naturally knew that it was impossible for Nian Bing to fall asleep at this time, but even if he observed the materials, it would take too long.
Just when Xiaotian was puzzled, Nian Bing finally moved, and the slowly opened eyes brought out two cold lights. When the gorgeous blue light jumped into his hands, Xiaotian couldn't help shaking his whole body, and lost his voice: " Ghost Carved Sword."
The ghost carving kept beating among the five fingers of Nian Bing's right hand, but he didn't rush to cut the knife. He pressed the watermelon with his left hand, and lightly lifted the ghost carving with his right hand. A plate with a diameter of half a foot had already come to the chopping board. With a lift of the left hand, the watermelon is placed on the plate. The moment it was placed on the plate, Nian Bing shaved the bottom of the watermelon and removed a piece so that it could rest on the plate smoothly. Immediately afterwards, nine one-two small cups were picked up by the ghost carving into the plate, and placed evenly around the watermelon, with the distance between each cup being exactly the same.
With a slight smile, Nian Bing's eyes brightened. "Xiaotian, see clearly, I want to convince you." The blue light kissed the watermelon softly, this time, Nian did not use his exquisite carving method, but used With the penetrating knife technique, every time the ghost carving protrudes out and retracts, it will bring out a watermelon seed from the watermelon, but it only leaves a small trace on the watermelon. Surprisingly, no watermelon juice flowed from those tiny openings.
As the watermelon seeds jumped out of the plate one by one, Xiaotian's face became more and more dignified. He couldn't figure out how Nian Bing knew where those watermelon seeds were inside the watermelon. Amazing.
The ghost sculpture hovered continuously in the palm of Nian Bing's right hand. Seemingly slowly but really quickly turning around the watermelon, every movement of Nian Bing made the watermelon tremble slightly, but it looked from the surface. But the watermelon didn't change in any way, a clear and long chant sounded from Nian Bing's mouth, his movements gradually became faster, and he chanted in his mouth:
"Ghost Confused Moon Halo Bingjian Shattered."
"Carve it into a Biwu phoenix."
"A piece of Kagura with voiceless twitter."
"The sound of the knife and the movement of the clouds startle the birds."
The formula is still based on the four characters of ghost carving and magic knife, but it is completely different from before. The Longyu Jiwu knife technique performed by ghost carving can become the number one magic knife in the culinary world. Because it can carve a real dragon, the subtlety of it is broad and profound, and can be applied in every field of cooking. What Nian Bing is displaying at this time is just another form of the Dragon Yu Jiwu knife technique. It was only researched after retiring to Peach Blossom Forest, and compared to before, its subtleties are even more subtle.
Xiaotian was stunned, of course he had heard of the Longwu Jiwu sword technique, but this was the first time he had seen it.
On the rostrum, Na Yan, who had been lazy all this time, stood up excitedly, his body was trembling slightly, and he murmured to himself: "It appeared again, did it appear again? Ghost carving, really It's a ghost carving! Longwu Jiwu sword technique, old ghost, I never thought you would teach such an outstanding disciple, what is it? This is the real magic sword! Old ghost, old ghost, you suppressed it We have spent a lifetime, and now we have trained such a perverted apprentice, the world has really changed, these young children are much stronger in talent than we were back then."
Accompanied by the last word "Flying" in the formula, Nian Bing raised his sword fiercely. When the ghost sculpture reached the highest point driven by his right hand, it disappeared in an instant, and everything returned to calm. Watermelon, or that watermelon, if you don't pay attention Look, there seems to be no change, but everything is over, Nian Bing is the last one to finish, but only a few people can see that he is done.
Ten dishes with watermelon as the main ingredient were placed on the kitchen tables of the chefs, Fatty Hua, Na Yan, Hillard, and Mao Mao. And all the judges came to the stage one after another.
The master of ceremonies announced the judging process. First, the chef would tell the characteristics of his dish, and then the judges would taste it. Finally, the score will be determined, with stars as points, and ten stars as a full score, one by one in the order of the roll call.
Momo was the first one who started to tell her story. Nian Bing pressed the watermelon in front of him that had not changed its shape, and listened carefully to her narration.
The master of ceremonies indicated that Momo could start, and handed the magic amplifier to her. Momo took the magic amplifier, smiled lightly, and said, "My dish is called Emerald Crystal Cage, and it uses watermelon as the main ingredient. Remove the dark green skin outside the watermelon to make it white, and carve a simple relief of Hualong Hotel on it. Start from one-third of the watermelon, and then take out the pulp and seeds carefully. Hollow out the inside of the watermelon. At this time, the entire watermelon shell looks completely transparent. From the outside, you can see the color change inside, like a crystal. After removing the seeds from the watermelon, I cut them into small strips Then wrap it with egg yolk to lock in the water, and soak it in coconut milk. The taste of watermelon is very pure, and there are very few materials that can be matched with it, and coconut milk is one of the few materials that can complement watermelon. 1. After soaking for a period of time, I add water to the hot pot. Directly dip the soaked melon sticks with some batter and cook. During the cooking process, I add juice with various auxiliary materials. When wrapped in watermelon sticks After the outer batter is cooked, put it directly into the shell of the watermelon, pour the hooked thick juice on it, and cover the watermelon cover. From the outside, this dish looks like a crystal ball, while the inner watermelon is inside the dish. Against the background of the watermelon juice, it is closed in the watermelon shell like an emerald. Therefore, the name of the emerald crystal cage is taken. The whole dish is mainly fresh and sweet, coupled with the fragrance of the watermelon, it is completely suitable for the taste of people of any age , please taste the judges."
Looking at the crystal-like white jade ball in front of Momo, it is really hard to imagine that it was once a watermelon. Nian Bing admired secretly in his heart, this idea alone is already very ingenious, although Mo Mo said it is simple, but her cooking of this dish requires a high level of skill, and the nearly transparent carving on the surface of the watermelon already requires a high level of craftsmanship , plus the uniformity that needs to be reflected when hollowing out the interior. If the technique is not very skilled, it is easy to take out the watermelon shell, the final cooking, Momo said it is very simple, but Nian Bing thought that she must have used some special techniques and materials in the process of making the juice, otherwise. It is impossible for the juice to have a green color. The fusion of coconut milk and watermelon is indeed a very good idea. I don't know how it tastes.
The judges gave Momo admiring glances, and Momo personally opened the watermelon shell and invited them to taste it. A look of admiration appeared on the faces of every judge, Mo Shuai smiled and said: "The taste is really good, very distinctive, and very unique, I think it can get full marks." His words immediately aroused the approval of other people, and the judges They all nodded.
Maomao slipped to Nian Bing's side, and said in a low voice: "Brother Nian Bing, the dishes made by that sister are really delicious, with a delicate fragrance and a touch of sweetness. It's very comfortable to eat, you have to work hard!" .”
"Wait a minute." Xiaotian stood up suddenly, took a look at the dishes made by Momo, and said calmly: "I think it's too early for the judges to make a decision now."
Mo Shuai's eyes fell on Xiaotian's face, "Oh? You mean, the dish made by Miss Momo is not enough to score ten stars."
Xiaotian shook his head, and said calmly: "I haven't tasted it, so I can't judge how good Ms. Momo's skills are, but if the judges rush to score now, it will be unfair to the chefs behind us. After all, the highest score is ten stars , if Ms. Momo gets such a score, then even if the chefs behind us surpass her in skill, they can only get the same score at most. This is unfair. I hope all the judges can taste all the chefs After the dishes are made, they will be evaluated, so that they can be regarded as notarized." His words were powerful, and what he said was the loopholes in the competition evaluation. All the judges looked at each other, not knowing how to make a decision for a while, after all, what Xiaotian said had some truth.
Mo Shuai turned his gaze to Fatty Hua who was at the side, and said, "Do you think this judging rules need to be changed?"
Fatty Hua hadn't spoken yet, and Ling Chef, who had been silent all this time, said sternly: "I think the rules need to be changed. What Chef Xiaotian said is very reasonable, and we can change it according to what he said."
Arc light turned to Momo and said, "Girl Momo, what do you think..."
Momo smiled slightly, and said: "Xiaotian is right, this change is very appropriate, I think the opinion is very good. This is fair to every chef."
Arc light smiled and said: "Okay, then it's decided like this. After tasting the dishes of the other nine chefs, we will finally give a unified score. Xiaotian, it's your turn next."
Momo handed the magic loudspeaker to Xiaotian, and Xiaotian smiled confidently, and said: "The most prominent thing in my dish is a fragrance named Yu Rongxiang. Please take a look. "As he spoke, he pointed to the plate in front of him, and in that plate was a white square. It is indeed like jade, it is the watermelon rind with the green surface removed. Careful identification shows that the entire half-foot-square "white jade" block is made up of many small pieces, but there are no gaps in it. Red light flowed in the "white jade" block, as if there was something in it, and the surface of the white jade was even more translucent, reflecting a dazzling luster under the sunlight. Xiaotian smiled and said: "Everyone should have noticed that this cube of mine is made of sixty-four white jade strips made from watermelon rinds. The watermelon rinds themselves are edible. Crispy, and inside the watermelon strips, I hollowed out each watermelon strip, then used the watermelon pulp as the main ingredient to make a fragrant juice, poured it into it, sealed the watermelon strips, and finally piled up this Yurongxiang I won’t introduce too much, please taste the dish directly, I think, this dish will not disappoint you.” After speaking, the master of ceremonies handed the magic megaphone to the side, stood with his hands behind his back and did not say a word, And his gaze was opposite to Nian Bing, as if asking, can you compare to me
Nian Bing's expression remained unchanged on the surface, but there was a wave of waves in his heart. From the surface of Xiaotian's dish, many people may think that his method of hollowing out the watermelon strips is very difficult, especially when he has to seal it neatly at the end. However, Nian Bing understands that the key to this dish is the juice inside each watermelon stick. Since Xiaotian said that this dish is mainly fragrant, then the juice made from the watermelon pulp is the most important. It must have the characteristics of incense, how did he do it? What can be mixed with watermelon juice without affecting the taste of watermelon, but can make it more fragrant
While Nian Bing was thinking about it, the judges had already started. As Xiaotian said, each watermelon stick could see the red light flashing inside. When Moshuai Arclight was the first to bite through the watermelon strips, immediately, a strong fragrance permeated the rotating round platform. The rich fragrance contained the sweetness of watermelon, but the fragrance was even more intense. Nian Bing rubbed his nose hard, and quickly identified the various seasonings in the mixed flavor in his heart. Soon, he understood, looked up at Xiaotian, and nodded to him.
"It smells so good!" Maomao groaned beautifully, seeming to express the aspirations of all the judges. The crisp and refreshing watermelon strips, together with the warm and fragrant juice, made Xiaotian's dish almost perfect.
Later, including Chef Ling, every judge's face showed intoxicated expressions. In fact, when Nian Bing identified the juice inside the watermelon, he already knew that Xiaotian surpassed Momo. Although the main ingredient in the watermelon is watermelon juice, what really produces the aroma is something else, that is, raw salted duck egg yolk. Salted duck egg yolk has always been a very fragrant food, but when it is still raw, But it is milky like ordinary egg yolk, and the fragrance will only come out when it becomes solid after cooking. However, Xiaotian used the yolk of salted duck eggs to make this dish. Although Nian Bing understood the basic principle of this dish, he asked himself that he couldn't do it. Just heating the salted duck eggs without turning them from liquid to solid , Nian Bing couldn't do it if he asked himself.
At this moment, every judge understood what Xiaotian meant earlier, indeed, the dish he made was better than Momo's in every respect.
Next, the other seven chefs introduced their dishes one by one. However, compared with Momo and Xiaotian, they were much inferior in terms of creativity and taste. After the circle, I finally came to Nian Bing and watched the exquisite dishes made by the first nine chefs. When they saw the watermelon in Nian Bing's hands, they all couldn't help showing curiosity. Because of this, no one dared to underestimate Nian Bing this time, especially the scene where he performed the brilliant fire dragon magic on stage and became a bitch, which became the focus of this competition.
The master of ceremonies handed the magic loudspeaker to Nian Bing, looked at the watermelon in his hand suspiciously, and said, "Chef Nian Bing, please start the introduction."
Nian Bing smiled lightly, and said with a magic megaphone: "Actually, I have nothing to introduce about this dish, maybe they have also seen my production process. I did not use any seasoning when making this dish. , I think that watermelon itself is the best fruit, and no other fruit can have the characteristics of watermelon. Therefore, if watermelon is the main dish, there is no need for other things to match it. Since watermelon is used as a fruit platter , then it should be used for this, so why bother to cook it? I don’t have anything to introduce about this dish, please take a look, the name of the dish is Phoenix Blood Juice.” While talking, he He released his left hand that was always pressing on the watermelon, and lifted the plate up.
The center of the plate with a diameter of half a foot is naturally a watermelon, and around the watermelon, there are nine cups in a circle, and the distance between each cup is exactly the same, but is this a dish
Just when everyone is in doubt. The watermelon on the plate suddenly moved by itself, and nine thin watermelon strands fell down, just falling into the nine cups. Then, the watermelon strands gradually turned red, and a drop of bright red juice slid along the watermelon strands into the cups . The people below might not be able to see clearly, but the judges on the stage were shocked, including Ling Chef Na Yan. No one understood what Nian Bing had done. The red watermelon juice flowed into the cup along with the filaments. As the juice in the cup became more and more, the watermelon began to make a slight crackling sound, as if it was about to Like a well-hatched egg, the sound is fine and clear. There is no interruption.
Just when everyone was startled from ear to ear, a change happened suddenly, a faint golden light suddenly appeared from the clearly visible cracks on the watermelon, and suddenly, a dazzling golden awn rose from the watermelon, Straight into the sky. At this moment, no one can see everything in front of them clearly. The watermelon entrusted by Nian Bing shines with an unusually strong luster like the sun. It is a holy breath, a soft breath, and the rich fragrance seems to draw people Brought to the field, the refreshing and cold feeling is refreshing, so comfortable.
Finally, the golden light gradually dimmed, and only a layer of golden light mask remained on the plate, so that people could not see everything in it. With a wave of Nian Bing's right hand, the golden light mask disappeared in an instant, and there was a sound of shock There was a sound, because everyone found that in the middle of the plate, there was a lifelike fire phoenix fluttering its wings and flying high. Under the feet of the phoenix, there were pieces of carvings in the form of flames. In the air, the fire phoenix, as crystal as agate, seemed to be alive, fluctuating slightly with the flow of the halo.
Nian Bing handed the plate to everyone, "Please taste, Phoenix blood juice." Arc Guang was the first to pick up the cup, he took a deep look at Nian Bing, and took a sip of the juice in the cup. The sweetness of the earth mixed with the icy breath instantly penetrated the lungs and spread to every corner of the body. The pores on the skin opened at this moment, and the arc shivered cleverly, and the unusually comfortable feeling spread to the whole body. Can't wait to drink the whole glass of watermelon juice, the holy breath nourishes his body, the blood in the meridians seems to be much smoother, so comfortable, like being baptized by a healing technique in the magic of light, the spirit The state immediately reached its peak, and the nine delicacies he had tasted before were completely forgotten at this moment, and only the colorful fire phoenix in front of him was in his mind. Subconsciously, Arc Light exclaimed: "Okay, what a phoenix blood juice, Nian Bing, I am really curious, although I know you are using magic in this dish, but what kind of magician are you?" What about the master? The appearance of the fire dragon, the freezing of the watermelon for carving, and the blindness of the baptism of light just now, it seems that all these should not appear on one person at the same time."
Nian Bing smiled slightly, and said: "There are many magical features of magic that we have not yet understood. This is just a dish, and there are not as many mysteries as you said." In fact, his dish is not so great The dishes are nothing more than iced watermelon juice mixed with bright breath. However, Ling Chef Na Yan once said that a dish has five types: color, aroma, taste, meaning, and shape. When one dish reaches an unimaginable level, even if the other aspects are worse, it can completely make up for it. up. Nian Bing's phoenix blood juice has reached the extreme in terms of color, meaning, and shape, and the aroma and taste are not bad. Coupled with the magical effect of magic in it, it naturally won the praise of the judges. No one will feel that his dish is ordinary.
Xiaotian walked to Nian Bing's side. He whispered: "Why do you have multiple lines of magic? Cooking with magic is your unique skill. However, I doubt the role of magic in cooking. What else is there besides gorgeousness? This first scene I lost, but not in your magic, but in the first knife technique in the mainland culinary world, Longyu Jiwu, but the same thing will never happen again."
Nian Bing smiled lightly, and said: "I will show you the effect of magic on cooking. Your cooking is good, but if you want to beat me, your performance just now is not enough." If you are not a real magician, you will definitely not be able to feel the effect of magic on cooking skills. It is not only gorgeous, but magic can greatly assist cooking skills in all aspects. method to remove watermelon seeds. It is the effect of mental power. Without the magical effect of mental power, how could he detect the location of each watermelon seed
The result of the competition was announced soon, just as Nian Bing and Xiaotian judged in the conversation. Nian Bing got a full score of ten stars, while Xiao Tian got nine stars, Mo Mo got eight, and were assigned to the top three in the first round of competition. In order to allow the chefs to perform better, the second competition will be held in the afternoon. Ten chefs will step down one by one and go to the rest area to rest under the leadership of the staff. Wait until the afternoon for the second game. The rest area is equipped with the best equipment, and each finalist chef has a comfortable sofa to rest, and a variety of snacks and drinks are available.
"Nian Bing, come out for a while." Nian Bing sat down in the rest area, but was called out by Ling Chef Na Yan before his buttocks could sit still.
"Senior, are you looking for me?" Nian Bing smiled slightly at Na Yan. He has great respect for this senior in the culinary world.
Na Yan nodded and said, "Nian Bing, is your master okay? Originally, when I first saw you, I knew that you were the disciple of the old ghost, but I was not completely sure. Today you Performing the Long Yu Ji Wu, let me see the old ghost's unique skill again, the melon carving stunt even the old ghost has never performed before, it seems that you are already out of blue."
Nian Bing lowered his head and said sadly: "No, my cooking skills are far inferior to the master's, it's just because magic took advantage of it, if I didn't freeze the watermelon pulp in advance, I wouldn't be able to accomplish that. Sculpture, in terms of cooking experience, I am far from being able to compare with you seniors, I still have a long way to go, so senior Yan, my master has already gone there more than half a year ago."
Yan's whole body shook violently, "What? You, you said that the old ghost is dead? How could it be? This is absolutely impossible. The old ghost's body is the best among us. How could he die?"
Nian Bing sighed, "Everyone is going to die. At the beginning, the master lost the bet and broke the tendons of his hands and hamstrings. The physical blow is far less heavy than the mental one. I am afraid that no one can bear it. In my art At the time of completion, the master went, and he left very peacefully, perhaps because he has passed down all the skills."
"Dead, the old ghost died just like that. It seems that we old guys have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history. From now on, the culinary art world belongs to you young people. Okay, you go to rest. I'm leaving It's gone." Na Yan left, his back looked a little sad, and the sadness in his eyes made Nian Bing think of everything about Chaji when he left. Master, master, you have so many friends thinking about it, why did you have to hide in the mountains and forests in the first place? If you can maintain a better mood, maybe you won't die so early.
"Brother Nian Bing, you are amazing!" Mao Mao jumped out from nowhere, smiled, and came to Nian Bing's side, holding his big hand, eyes full of excitement.
Seeing the cat, Nian Bing's strong mood immediately eased a lot, "How is it? Is the watermelon juice delicious?"
Mao Mao yelled and smiled, and said: "Of course it's delicious, but it's just too little, brother Nian Bing, next time you make it for sex alone, okay?"
Nian Bing smiled: "Of course, Mao Mao, you should go back quickly, don't make Senior Hijod anxious." He didn't want Mao Mao to be reprimanded by Hilard because of his relationship.
Maomao grinned and said: "Of course it's delicious, but it's just too little. Brother Nian Bing, next time you can drink it alone for Maomao, okay?"
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Of course. Maomao, you should go back quickly, don't make Senior Hijode anxious." He didn't want to be reprimanded by Maomao and Hilard because of his relationship.
Maomao nodded obediently, and said, "Brother, you must win the next two games. Maomao will cheer for you together."
Nian Bing smiled and said: "I'm all right, but if you are willing to give me your little pets as materials, maybe my chances of winning will be greater."
Maomao was taken aback. Looking at Nian Bing's weird smile, he realized that he was being tricked. "Brother Nian Bing, you are really bad. Don't keep thinking about other people's little pets. They are very good. I'm leaving."
Mao Mao left, Nian Bing returned to the lounge, the other nine chefs did not talk to each other, each doing their own things, Nian Bing was also happy to relax, sitting in his position and entering a semi-meditative state, magic The pursuit of love is what he desires most now, and he doesn't want to waste any time.
Hilard and Maomao were invited by the magic commander to rest in the barracks. Sitting in a comfortable carriage, Hilard closed his eyes and thought about the final appearance of Nian Bing's dish. Originally, he thought Nian Bing was just a dish. He is a great magician, but when the bright light shines, he finds that he has underestimated Nian Bing. Ice and fire magicians are already extremely rare, why does he still have the power of light? What's going on here? Should I attack him according to the original plan, so that he will never be able to contact his daughter
Just as Hilard was thinking, Mo Shuai arc spoke. Although his soft voice sounded very comfortable, it was difficult for people to accept such a voice from a man's mouth, "Old Xi! You What do you think of the chef named Nian Bing? You are an expert in magic, why does he have three kinds of magic? Is there a magician who can cast three kinds of magic at the same time on the mainland? It can’t be so evil. I see, He should be a fire magician, as for the ice and light magic, it should be cast through a magic scroll."
