Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Cooking begins!"

Accompanied by the master of ceremonies' announcement, Liu Maoxing and Lin Yi also started their own actions...

As expected, Lin Yi proposed a bloated chicken with a khaki-yellow body and a nearly spherical body.

"Slender head, thin feet, yellow hair, yellow feet, yellow beak, short neck, short body, short feet... two thin, three yellow and three short, it's an apricot chicken!" Yuji immediately judged.

"It looks so round..."

"Indeed, the Chinese apricot chicken is characterized by its short head, feet, and body. It was originally a specialty of Fengkai County. Later, because the meat of the apricot chicken was tender and the bones were thin, it was also imported from other places, but the most authentic ones have to be A few open apricot chickens are completely raised in the bamboo forest by the stream, feeding on weeds, insects and ants..."

"But what does this have to do with the 'sun'? Just because the apricot chicken looks 'round', it can be regarded as the sun?" Dawu wondered.

"There should be other problems..."

Lin Yi quickly started to process the apricot chicken, and with only a narrow-bladed short knife, he easily completed the process of shaving, deboning, and removing the viscera!

In Liu Maoxing's eyes, he could see the pattern of "Phoenix Ruiwen" flashing on his kitchen knife. Every time the kitchen knife touched the apricot chicken, it seemed that he could "hear" the apricot chicken as the ingredient, making a very comfortable sound. the sound of!

Although after facing Paul, Liu Maoxing also possessed the ability of "Greedy Wolf Pot", so he overtook Lin Yi and Xie Yunlong in knife skills, but at this moment, he couldn't find Lin Yi's handling of Xinghuaji, and there was Anything to blame!

After that, Lin Yi coated the skin and inner cavity of the "Apricot Blossom Chicken" with the prepared sauce, and temporarily sealed it with tin foil to wait for the taste.

At the same time, I began to prepare other ingredients, such as bamboo shoots, scallops, mushrooms, ducks, geese, and pigeons!

"Why did you take out ducks, geese, and pigeons again? Isn't the main ingredient chicken?"

"That's right, using a variety of poultry together will make the taste weird?"

"That kind of duck is... Linwu duck? The shelduck duck is the first in Chinese cuisine. It is famous for its tender meat and rich fat..."

"Wait, usually the meat duck with more duck fat will have more of the unique smell of duck, right?"

"And what kind of goose is that? Why is there such a large tumor on the head?" Liangzi said in a numb and uncomfortable tone.

It is true that the goose that Lin Yi chose had a sarcoma no smaller than the head on the lower jaw, but in fact, it was not so uncomfortable to look at carefully, on the contrary, it looked quite heroic!

"It's a lion-headed goose! It's famous for its sarcoid head shaped like a lion's head...the kind of pigeon that looks very big should be the 'giant crested pigeon'! The world's top ten famous meat pigeon breeds. It is also the largest Pigeons, because they are good at walking but not good at flying, are also called 'ground pigeons'." You Ji said.

"Sliced ​​bamboo shoots, mushrooms and scallops are all easy to say. Using them together with chicken can enhance the freshness, but the other three types of poultry meat will only make things worse, right?"

"That's right, mixing different types of meat together requires special care, let alone the meat of four types of poultry..."

Amidst the doubts of the judges and the audience, Lin Yi did not stop his movements. In a short time, the duck, goose, and pigeon had been cut into pieces, the bamboo shoots were cut into flower shapes, and the white mushrooms were trimmed into appropriate-sized umbrella covers one by one. Dried scallops have also been soaked for use...

As for Liu Maoxing, the main ingredients he chose were also poultry. It looked like a big white duck, with a red beak and black top, white feathers, a big head and thick neck, short legs and sharp claws. It looked very muscular in size.

But this duck has a deceptive name, that is American goose!

Also known as "Xiangchun goose", the scientific name is Xiangyu, because the male Xiangchun goose emits musk, so it is also called "Musk goose".

Although it belongs to the geese family, but the subfamily belongs to ducks, so it is also called "Musco duck" and "Musk duck"...

Hair removal, dirty removal, and bone removal are very similar to what Lin Yi did before!

However, the weight of the Musk Duck is more than twice that of the Xinghua Chicken. Because of its size, and the bones of the Musk Duck are not as thin as the Xinghua Chicken, Liu Maoxing also spent some extra time.

And then took out eight kinds of dry goods...

"Huh? Aren't those... the ones Ah Xing did?" Zhaoji, with sharp eyes, wondered.

"Sea cucumbers, abalones, shark's fins, scallops, crabs, shrimps, squids, flounder...that's right, they are indeed the eight kinds of dry goods used in Ah Xing's eight-treasure steamed buns!" Yuuji said, breaking her fingers.

"Could it be that Ah Xing is going to make Sishen Babao Man? But what does it have to do with the 'sun'? I didn't see wheat flour either..."

This time, Liu Maoxing didn't cook the dried seafood of the eight major seafood in casserole, but chose to divide them into three groups in twos and threes after soaking for different time and different spices.

At the same time, this semi-final finally made many viewers get their wish...

Before Liu Maoxing participated in "All? Blue", he was most famous in the culinary world as the title of "National Treasure Level Sword Master"!

However, in the previous competitions, although Liu Maoxing showed a good level of sword skills, even in many cases, the sword skills he showed were already "national treasures", but most people couldn't see it!

From the perspective of laymen and ordinary cooks, probably only the highly performative skills such as "Quick Healing Knife" can explain the identity of "National Treasure Level Sword Master". They may not understand all other high-end skills .

As for Liu Maoxing and Lin Yi, both met the requirements of the audience at this time. Both of them showed the skill of "quick healing knife" in handling chickens and ducks.

Lin Yi cut open the apricot chicken from the neck to the tail completely when removing the internal organs. After taking out the internal organs, first smeared the sauce on the inner cavity, and then used his fingers on the knife edge across the chicken body. brushed...

Because the chicken feathers have been removed before, everyone can clearly see the smooth and clear wound gradually disappearing.

The audience outside the field also burst into cheers to express their admiration for the "national treasure sword skill"...

However, Liu Maoxing's method was slightly different, instead of cutting open "Xiangchunyan" as a whole, he only opened a hole that could accommodate two fingers.

Afterwards, the left hand held the index finger and middle finger of the right hand and stretched them, only to see the two fingers stretched by the length of the fingers amidst the sound of bones rubbing against each other!

puff!

The two fingers pierced Xiangchunyan's belly along the opening. I don't know what the two fingers did inside. I saw that Xiangchunyan's skin bulged and collapsed from time to time, and there were abnormal areas. Obviously longer than Liu Maoxing's stretched finger length!

Some students of Yuanyue Academy couldn't help showing a look of "no sight", and turned their heads aside in embarrassment.

About a minute later, Liu Maoxing pulled out his fingers suddenly, and saw that the entangled gastrointestinal organs were completely pulled out at once!

After brushing the two fingers over the cut, the wound also disappeared...

Although the size of the wound was far smaller than that caused by Lin Yi, it was undoubtedly a "knife of quick healing"!

And now the audience is not only amazed that Liu Maoxing, who is only sixteen years old, is indeed a "national treasure-level saber master", but also amazed at what the finger kung fu was just now?

"This... is already so flexible that with two fingers, you can tie up the internal organs of a whole duck with intestines and pull them out in one go without seeing and with a fixed range of motion?"

"It's really incredible..."

"Is this...a national treasure finger?"

"Good... seductive fingers..."

"Ahem, keep a low profile! Don't moan here!"

For a while, Liu Maoxing once again relied on the hand of the eagle, convincing the audience...

What the two did afterwards was somewhat similar.

Lin Yi used sliced ​​bamboo shoots, mushrooms, scallops, and three other types of poultry meat, and cooked them carefully.

And Liu Maoxing divided the dry goods of the eight major seafood into three groups for cooking...

How is this similar?

The similarity is that both of them chose the same way of cooking afterwards!

Lin Yi put the boneless meat pieces of the other three types of poultry, together with sliced ​​bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and scallops, into the apricot chicken smeared with delicious sauce, and then reproduced the scene of "Quick Healing Knife" again, making the Apricot Blossom Chicken heals...

And Liu Maoxing opened a small mouth again, and then poured all kinds of boiled dry goods, including soup and water, and finally sealed the mellow goose!

There is also the most prominent similarity, that is, both the apricot chicken and the savory goose are stuffed to the brim at this time, because the bones have been pulled out, and they have become a similar sphere at this time...

The two "meat balls" were also put into the soup pot by Lin Yi and Liu Maoxing, and they were further stewed with the broth that had been prepared earlier.

"This is... the bagged chicken? The two sides made it, it should be regarded as a variant of the bagged chicken!"

"That's right, one is to put meat from other poultry in the 'cloth bag', and the other is to use dried seafood..."

"Wait... Considering the title 'Sun', just making chickens and ducks round, don't you think it's a bit far-fetched?"

"Indeed, Master Lin Yi's four-bird bagged chicken can also be said to have the meaning of 'golden rooster heralds the dawn', but Liu Maoxing uses fragrant geese instead of chicken as the main ingredient. What does it have to do with the 'sun'?"

"Don't forget, his main ingredients are all kinds of dried seafood... Isn't it dried by the power of the 'sun'? It is more convincing than 'Golden Rooster Clarifies the Dawn'?"

"Eh? Is that still possible?"

"But I think there should be more than that, there should be other tricks! Then it's up to the judges to distinguish..."

Three hours passed, every minute and every second passed, and finally the two presented the dishes to the judges at the same time... two "meat balls", one big and one small!

At the same time, in order to taste each other in the "Dark Cuisine Showdown", the two also stood in front of the judges' table, looking at each other...

Of course, Liu Maoxing couldn't see any human emotions in Lin Yi's eyes at this time.
