Xiang En's plan to seize the "Legendary Kitchen Map" was aborted at the beginning. Although he wanted to use force to force Le Yuan and others to surrender, he did not expect that he would be crushed by Le Yuan and had to be held by Le Yuan. Nose goes.
Le Yuan pulled out a dagger directly from behind, nailed the ancient map in his hand and Xiang En's map to the ceiling with a thud.
"Since it is now a five-on-five competition, we will send five chefs to make soup, snacks, and three main dishes. There are five dishes in total. But there are only three of you now. Where are the other two?"
Le Yuan explained the rules of the game, but so far there are only three participating players from the other side. As for the group of members of the dark cooking world who were spectators on both sides, they were not taken seriously by Le Yuan at all. Although these people could stand alone, they were far from posing a threat to Le Yuan and his party.
"Don't worry!" Xiang En didn't have the slightest worry, and slowly walked to the front and said, "They will show up during the game, but shouldn't it start now? Our first soup cooking showdown!"
Just after Xiang En announced the start of the game, the man in black robe behind him threw his black robe to the ground aside, revealing his true face. There was a scar on the left side of his face, and his face was painted extremely vividly by Le Yuan. "Golden-haired Tiger" Luo Ke.
"Now is the time to show my true strength!" Luo Ke strode forward and came to the huge cylindrical cooking pot where the heat was rising. He stretched out his right hand that looked similar to an ordinary person, but was actually a metal arm. The simulated hand directly reached into the scalding hot soup and stirred it. Then he took a mouthful of the soup with his hands without changing his expression and said, "Tonight's soup was also cooked well!"
"Is this guy a monster?" Shiro asked, dumbfounded as he looked at Luo Ke's performance.
"Don't be frightened by him. This guy's hands are not fleshy, they are just cold machines. And wouldn't you be afraid of getting upset if you touch the soup directly with your hands?" Others were only attracted by Luo Ke's astonishing expression. Zhou was shocked, but Le Yuan found something wrong with what he just did. No one with a little bit of mysophobia would drink the pot of soup that he touched.
"Tsk, don't talk nonsense!" As soon as he heard Le Yuan's doubts, Luo Ke, the golden-haired tiger, quickly pointed to his metal hand and defended: "My hands have been washed many times and there is absolutely no stain on them. Dirty stuff, won’t it still be okay if I drink it? Which of you will be my opponent!”
Le Yuan called a group of people to form a circle and began to rank the order of participation.
Le Yuan pointed at Master Xie and said, "You don't have to tell me. As the leading pastry chef in the country, what you are best at is dim sum. You will be in the second round."
"As for me, Subaru and Ren En can take the final step. Sanjie, how is your soup?" Le Yuan asked, looking at Tang Sanjie aside.
"It goes without saying that our Shaodong family is a rising star in the Shanghai cuisine industry, so there is absolutely no problem with soup dishes." A Gang on the side quickly said for Tang Sanjie.
Tang Sanjie clasped his hands and said to Le Yuan and others: "Please rest assured, let me take the lead. I will definitely not lose to the guys in the dark cooking world!"
Looking at Tang Sanjie walking out of a group of people, "Jinmaohu" Luo Ke showed a hint of interest on his face and said: "Hmph! The young master of the famous store 'Long Town', are you my opponent?"
In an instant, fierce sparks flashed in the eyes of Luo Ke and Tang Sanjie, and their fighting spirit was completely aflame.
Xiang En, who works part-time as the emcee of the competition, began to introduce everyone to the judges of this cooking competition—five people sitting on the judges' bench in strange attire.
As a local snake, Tang Sanjie was reminded and saw clearly who the judges were. He pointed at them in disbelief and solved everyone's doubts one by one.
Pointing to a short-bearded man smoking a cigarette with a huge scar across his nose, he said, "That's the leader of the market—Mr. Zhang."
Pointing to the man whose head was wrapped in a scarf, he said, "The boss of the crew - Mr. Hu."
One of them, a middle-aged man with glasses and a scar on his face, said, "The guild leader of the store world—Master He!"
The other two people are also important guild leaders in Shanghai, but they sit on the judging panel of the dark cooking world with a complacent look. This makes Tang Sanjie, who is also a member of the "Great Alliance", feel like he has been betrayed. feeling.
Tang Sanjie stretched out the middle and index fingers of his right hand and pointed at the short-bearded old Dao Dao with the scar: "Why! Why do you want to join forces with the guys in the dark cooking world? Haven't you come together with the Great Alliance all this time?"
The short-bearded Scar boss lowered his head and took a puff of dry cigarette, then spit it out, then looked at Tang Sanjie with contempt and said: "Hey! Sanjie! You have to understand one thing. For us guilds, it doesn't matter if he dominates Shanghai cuisine. Whether it’s the Dark Realm or the Great Alliance, we will never touch it!”
His words made Tang Sanjie feel chilled for a while. People in the Great Alliance had always thought that they were one family with the other Shanghai guilds, and they got along very happily with them. However, they did not expect that in the eyes of this group of people, the Great Alliance seemed to have little friendship. nor.
"That's right! Whoever has stronger power will be the leader. As long as he can maintain the order of Shanghai, that's enough!" Mr. Hu, the boss of the crew, said calmly.
Mr. He, the boss of the shop world, said solemnly: "Profit is the purpose of all our guilds. I heard that in the dark cooking world, there are many chefs who are better than 'special chefs'. Maybe they can bring us in Shanghai." Lots of benefits, isn’t it?”
The remarks of the Shanghai guild bosses made Xiang En on the side raise his lips. Although he has not yet taken control of Shanghai's culinary world, depending on the situation, as long as he wins today, all problems will be solved.
The short-bearded Scar boss put his head on one hand and closed his eyes and said: "Three heroes! I declare in advance that we will only give tickets to him as long as we think it is really delicious. Although you and I are familiar with each other, I also No mercy!"
Xiang En stood in front of the judges, waved and pointed at the many ingredients in the cooking competition in front of everyone and said: "The first battle - the soup cooking competition, the ingredients and props can be used freely, the competition begins!"
The next second the announcement started, "Golden-haired Tiger" Luo Ke instantly put on a set of shining metallic iron claws on his hands.
"Arhat Tiger Claw Technique!" As Luo Ke used his cooking skills, all the feathers of the five chickens on his hand were plucked out in an instant, and even the tiny chicken feathers were plucked cleanly.
"Tsk—" Luo Ke, who put on the iron claws, easily dissected the abdomens of five chickens with his claws. "Click, rub, rub." Following the movements of Luo Ke's claws, he picked out the chicken bones one by one from inside the chicken body. out.
From plucking chicken feathers, picking bones to cutting meat, he was able to flexibly and skillfully handle five chickens with just his pair of iron claws without using a knife. Unlike his rough appearance, his skills are indeed beyond those of ordinary chefs. , it can be said that people cannot be judged by their appearance.
Seeing Le Yuan just watching his cooking in a daze, Luo Kai said proudly: "Wow, haha, let you know what the ultimate vegetable soup tastes like when I cut the ingredients with my sharp tiger claws." !”
Then Luo Ke stuffed five chickens into the chicken bone soup that had been cooking just now, and a big pot was filled with five chickens.
"Three heroes, as long as you understand the true meaning of this soup, you will definitely win this battle. That guy named Luo Ke made a fatal mistake. You will find out!" Le Yuan glanced at Luo Ke. The cooking process, and then from the escaping smell, he understood the true nature of his dish, and at the same time, he also knew that there was a very serious problem with this dish.
Tang Sanjie clenched his right fist and said to everyone: "I will work hard for the Shanghai cuisine industry!" Then he walked straight to the pool on the side, picked up a soft-shell turtle and started cooking.
An hour later, each of the five judges placed a large bowl with a whole chicken in front of them. The soup was as clear as water and did not feel like thick soup at all. In addition to the chicken, there were mushrooms in the soup. Cattails. Stuffed with enoki mushrooms and other ingredients, it’s a well-crafted dish.
"Gulu, it smells so good. I really want to take a sip of this soup!" Shiro couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and then he couldn't help but hit his head and said in frustration: "That guy was obviously cheating, he started with chicken bone soup It’s been a long time, it’s not fair, can that guy Sanjie win?”
"Ah-" Shiro suddenly screamed and saw his whole body being lifted up by A-Gang.
A Gang lifted Shiro like a chicken, and said with an unhappy expression on his face: "The Shaodong family is very strong, how could they lose to a guy like that? Don't talk nonsense!"
The five judges just took a mouthful of the soup and couldn't help but point at it and said: "This, this bastard! It tastes not bad!"
"Yes, it looks like a very clear soup, but there is a lot of soup stock melted in it. The combination of the two makes the taste even richer. It is simply the best soup!"
"Haha! Add the egg whites to the pot, let it solidify together with the astringent liquid, and then remove it completely. This delicious dish is complete with an extremely clear top soup. Then just let the high-grade ingredients flow out of the soup. Completely penetrate into the chicken body, and you will be the emperor of this soup!"
"Wow haha, did you see that? You have no courage!" After Luo Ke finished cooking, he was so proud that he couldn't help but say to Tang Sanjie on the side: "If you are wagging your tail and absconding, now is the time." when!"
However, in the face of his provocation, Tang Sanjie picked up a cantaloupe and said with a victorious smile on his face: "Big fat man! I said you don't understand at all what is the most important thing about making soup! I will definitely win this game!" "
