Daxian Temple stands on the mountainside of Hualin Mountain in Guangdong Province. This ancient temple is known as one of the five famous temples in Guangdong. Every year, chefs from Guangdong Province bring their kitchen utensils after their careers to this place as offerings. Therefore, Daisenji is also famous throughout the country for its "kitchen offerings". The oldest building in this temple is the Chuanbao Hall. It houses "legendary kitchen utensils" that are hundreds of years old.
And on the third day after Ji Di announced that the three of them would participate in the swordsmanship showdown in front of God, Le Yuan and others came to this place with a long history. This swordsmanship duel in front of the gods has already been rumored, and hundreds of people who heard the news gathered here early in the morning.
At such an important time, the system also came to join in the fun and specially issued a task—
Optional mission one: Swordsman duel before God
Task description: Have a swordsmanship duel with Ren and Liu Pleiades and win. Success points will be 2,000 points, experience value 100 points, attribute point * 1, and failure points will be deducted 5,000 points.
Soon, Master Luo Ai, one of the judges, came to the Chuanbao Hall in a very formal robe and said to everyone: "In accordance with the legendary ancient ceremony, I declare that the 'Swordsmanship Showdown in front of the Gods' of Daxian Temple has officially begun!"
"Bah bang bang—" Master Luo Tian clapped his hands, and three men carrying bamboo baskets walked out from behind him.
After opening it, Master Luo Tian said: "Today's ingredient is this - snapper!" A huge snapper nearly one meter long appeared in front of everyone.
The person who facilitated this duel was standing in the audience, but when he saw the title of this duel, he couldn't help but sigh: "The sea bream is quickly used for cooking, so the Xiangjiang fish is dismembered." It can be said to be a very difficult job without damaging every part of the knife. It can be said that it is just right to use this to evaluate the knife skills of three people."
"Okay, now contestants please come to the front!"
Le Yuan, Ren En, and Liu Pleiades walked out of the crowd and stood on the playing field. However, this appearance brought a huge impact to the audience.
The first is Renn. He has seven knives on his body, large and small. It can be said that he is armed to the extreme. No matter what kind of bones he has, it is not a problem with the cooperation of so many kinds of knives.
Looking at the other two sides, Liu Pleiades entered the competition field with empty hands and a smile on his face, looking very relaxed. Although Le Yuan was not as unreliable as him, he was holding a very ordinary kitchen knife, which didn't look out of the ordinary.
After the contestants entered, Master Luo Ai continued to explain: "According to the traditional ceremony, there is no time limit for this competition. You two just need to uphold the pride that you should have as a chef and make the most satisfying meal." Let’s cook sea bream.”
There is no time limit, which means that as long as one of them has not presented all his works, the game is not over. If a person completely loses his pride as a chef, then this duel will continue and the competition will lose its meaning.
As if to remind the three people present, Master Luo Tian pointed at the three snappers and said: "However, there is one thing I want to say first... These three snappers were all caught at sunrise this morning... "Luo An didn't say anything more, but he secretly reminded the three of them that the time that the snapper can retain its delicious taste is short.
"Okay! The game begins!"
After Master Luo Tian announced the start, Renn nailed the six knives he had on the cutting board, and then began to remove the scales of the snapper with a small knife in his left hand and a long scimitar in his right hand.
One kitchen knife followed another, and one pair of hands seemed to have turned into more than a dozen. At first, he used the right-hand scimitar to deal with the fish scales in a large area with similar arcs, and then used a knife to remove the part where the fins were connected to the fish body.
Although these ordinary chefs can take some time to do it, but without exception, the hesitation of the movements will lead to deformation of the movements, ruining the entire snapper.
But Ren didn't see any of this at all. There was no hesitation in his eyes, and he was able to complete all the cutting work in an instant, and it became his first dish in less than five minutes.
"It's amazing. I didn't expect Renn to have such great knife skills!" Liu Pleiaxing kept looking at Renn's knife skills intently, but he didn't even move.
At this time, Le Yuan held his kitchen knife and said with a smile: "You are still the same, Subaru."
"Hehe, brother Ayuan, didn't you take action? Are you waiting for me?" Liu Pleiaxing asked, scratching his head in embarrassment.
"I started taking action a long time ago." Although he didn't seem to be moving, he was still observing Ren's movements. However, with his eyes and ears listening in all directions, his spiritual sense was constantly analyzing the snapper in front of him, and he had already begun to calculate his next move.
After a while, Liu Pleiades on the side began to move. He touched the sea bream with his hands, and the scales on the sea bream suddenly fell off neatly one by one. But the body of the sea bream was not damaged at all.
"Wire kitchen knife? It's indeed a good idea. It's up to me next!" Le Yuan's scanning was completed at this moment. The next second, Le Yuan's two hands were attached to the snapper, and every time he brushed it, After a while, a piece of the hard scales on the snapper's body was peeled off. In less than 30 seconds, all the scales on the entire fish's body were removed.
"Did that guy use a wire kitchen knife like Brother A Subaru? He's so cunning!" Shiro's voice from the audience reached Le Yuan's ears.
However, Le Yuan smiled faintly at this. Le Yuan only had a kitchen knife with him and did not use anything like steel wire at all. There is only one thing Le Yuan uses, and that is the indestructible innate true energy emitted from his own hands. Through precise control, the innate true energy turns into small knives to accurately peel off the fish scales from the sea bream. The true energy controlled by Le Yuan is completely The scale removal work was completed without any damage to the fish body.
Then he put aside the belly of the fish. In order to ensure a neat cross-section, Le Yuan took a kitchen knife and used the kitchen knife as a core to transform his zhenqi into a square-headed knife with a thick blade. He cut open the belly of the snapper in one go. As for removing the small spines, he used With infuriating fingers, use the principle of leverage to pull out one by one.
As Le Yuan's professional kung fu cooking god, the use of zhen qi has been integrated into Le Yuan's cooking a long time ago. Le Yuan's zhen qi can replace any kitchen knife.
Two very good chefs, one on the left and one on the right, completely inspired Le Yuan's passion for cooking. Every cooking action he made was as swift as the wind, as meticulous as the breeze, and as fanatical as the storm...
Perhaps due to his own attributes, Le Yuan's cooking style is closer to Feng. However, the properties of ingredients come from water and soil. Every time Le Yuan comes into contact with ingredients from a place, he has a deeper understanding of the thickness of soil and the flow of water. Coupled with the heat of fire, every time he cooks, Le Yuan's understanding of the four basic elements is inspired. control, and now the duel with Liu Pleiades and Renn has accelerated this realization.
Among the three, Renn completed it the fastest, followed by Liu Pleiades. On the contrary, although Le Yuan handled the snapper quickly, he was the last one to complete it.
The first thing to be judged was Lane's work. The first one was the "psychedelic sashimi" made from four parts of fish: gills, dorsal fin, tail fin and flank!
Master Luo Yan picked up a piece of sashimi that shone with light and said, "What a great knife skill. He can perfectly take out the most difficult part of the sea bream, and use the tougher meat part like the tail fin to make sashimi. It's delicious to eat." It tastes really good!”
The second fish head casserole dish, the thick and fragrant fish soup attracted all the judges to be intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. The third main dish, fish fillet hot pot, broke the judges' perception of how to cook sea bream. The satisfying sea bream fillets were paired with extremely delicious hot soup, which made all the judges lick their tongues and say this is The most delicious food in the world.
At the end, Renner directly served a dish of "steamed fish head", using the plainer steamed fish head as the orthodox way, and rare to retain the unique umami flavor of the fish head.
After the four dishes were finished, one of the judges couldn't help but praise: "Using superb skills and simple cooking techniques to transform the whole snapper into delicious dishes is really perfect. It is worthy of the title of Elder Luo Yi." The talented cooking boy who everyone admires!"
Just after Ren's cooking was over, the second thing to taste was Liu Pleiades' work. But when he brought his dish, the four judges were dumbfounded, because there was only a plate with a snapper that looked almost intact.
"Brother A Yuan, can you come over and help?" Liu Pleiades shouted to Le Yuan, "Use a kitchen knife to cut the fish open along these two lines at the same time."
Le Yuan's spiritual sense had already scanned the dish when he served it. After knowing that there was something in this dish, Le Yuan looked at him and praised: "As expected of A Subaru, your imagination and creativity are still outstanding." It’s so unexpected!”
"One, two, three!" At the moment Liu Pleiades counted to three, the two of them cut the two lines of the snapper at the same time. The next second, the fish's body unfolded like a fan, revealing the four dishes in the fish's belly, forming a picture of mainland China.
"Judges, this is Liu Pleiades' special 'True Sea Bream Continent Map'!"
The four judges are indeed food connoisseurs. After tasting this dish, Queen Li discovered the mystery.
"What an amazing idea. This snapper has the characteristics of various parts of mainland China, that is, the unique flavors of the four major places. First, it represents Beijing. After the fish fillet is grilled, it is wrapped in the dough used for Beijing salted duck. Wrap it with green onions and eat it together. It’s really a fine side dish to go with wine.”
“Sichuan, it combines the spicy oil that makes people sweat profusely with the sweet and refreshing taste of fish. It’s really a perfect combination... ”
"Shanghai, the combination of the crab roe of the Shanghai crab and the fish tail of the fish is indescribable!"
"The most touching thing should be Guangzhou, which combines the fresh vegetables that we are proud of and the most delicious fish maw with oil-consuming undercurrent. The crisp vegetables and the plump fish maw bring people a sense of happiness that is blooming in the warmth of spring..."
"It's really, really a wonderful work on par with Ren's works! Next, let's look at Le Yuan's cooking..."
