"The moonlight has begun to disappear from the roof, and now the first contestant to finish cooking finally appears and presents the cooking to the judges you ''re right! It''s Alice shaving At the same time, Alice put five "black rectangles" in front of the five judges
The so-called "black rectangle" looks completely bright black. At the same time, it looks like a flat rectangle in shape. Next to it, it is decorated with a few parsley and broccoli, as well as jam flowers.
Regardless of the decorative effect of the ingredients, it is obvious that the main body of the dish is the black cuboid in the center of the plate!
"This is "Black pudding?" Big spring persimmon into the nose after moving said.
"Yes, it''s my improved fragrant black pudding!" Said Alice, smiling.
"Fragrance? Black pudding means "that"? In England at the end of ancient times, there was something similar to sausage made from pig blood, right
"Well, let''s try it first."
It''s true that the origin of black pudding is British island, which is naturally associated with dark cuisine
As early as 3000 years ago, there was a written record of black pudding in Homer''s epic: "pour fat and blood into the intestines, and then simply bake it."
Yes, this kind of black pudding has nothing to do with "pudding". It''s just similar in appearance and taste
It can be seen from the most original records that this is similar to the "blood intestines" and "blood prosperity" in Chinese cuisine!
As for how to make "blood sausage" taste like pudding?
The technology of black pudding is constantly improving. Now it is quite different from "blood intestines" and "blood prosperity".
"Xuechang" and "xuewang" in Chinese cuisine originated from the ethnic minorities in the north and Yunnan, respectively. The difference between the two is that in addition to pig''s blood, they also pour oil, onion, salt, pepper and other spices into the sausage (I decided not to use "* *" for short, so as to avoid your imagination!)
In addition to blood, only salt is added to xuewang, or xuetofu.
As for black pudding, it is in the process of development. The additives include not only various spices, but also meat, cereals and eggs In a word, everything that feels like "it seems to be good to add in" is a habit of adding it all in!
In other words, "black pudding" is more like a mixed sausage with blood. Because of cereal and other additives, black pudding has a taste similar to "pudding", which is also one of the most common breakfasts in the UK.
Now Alice''s "fragrant black pudding" is closer to "pudding" in appearance, but not like the "black pudding" mixed into the pudding family, which has the "frosting feeling" close to sausage. The appearance of "fragrant black pudding" is completely as smooth as pudding.
At this time, the judges also cut one after another and put a small piece into their mouth.
"This is..."
"I seem to see It''s a rose! Blood stained roses
"There is no smell of blood products, and many other spices should be added. Why is it still so pure and black?"
"The red blood cell part of pig blood should be separated by a separator. The reason why the blood turns black is that the hemoglobin in the red blood cell contains heme, which will turn black after oxidation. The blood component is hemoglobin, so natural black will be more" dominant "!"
"Indeed, rose petal extract should also be added, right? This faint fragrance I can''t feel it from the outside. It''s a dessert that can make people see roses... "
After tasting Alice''s "fragrant black pudding", the five judges felt as if they were in the sea of roses. The faint fragrance of roses filled their lips and teeth.
What gives this dessert a sense of "evil" is that the faint smell of blood is not abrupt, but also mixed in the sweet fragrance. The so-called "fishy sweet" should be used here!
After a while, the five judges returned from the rose field to "between the moon and the sky". After looking at each other, hori Yue said again: "from the perspective of taste, it''s really a highly completed work, showing the delicacy unique to molecular cuisine, but Is the color the only thing that matters to "dark cuisine"
Hori Yue''s pertinent questions and sharp tone made the scene stagnate. It seemed that the audience did not expect that the standard of this competition would be so strict.
Before Ming Ming, the judges had already shown a look of intoxication
However, I was soon relieved that this was the unique "top ten qualifying match", in which the penultimate was also the tenth place of top ten standing at the summit of Yuanyue!
With the judges in mind, I''m afraid the difficulty has been overcome.
Before Alice could explain, Yuanguo said weakly, "no, I think Alice is trying to express'' that ''? The British civil war "the war of the roses" in the 15th century! The two sides of the war took red rose and white rose as their family emblems respectively. In addition, during the war, there was a cooking duel under the title of "black pudding.""I see If this is the case, the problem is not just superficial. War is always the darkest Hori accepted Yuanguo''s explanation.
(according to the records of black pudding, it was used as a weapon in the "war of the roses". In a small-scale battle, the two sides who had run out of ammunition and food threw each other breakfast black pudding as weapons...)
"Next, let''s go to the judges'' scoring! Each judge has 20 points of decentralization, and the total score of the five judges is the final score of the contestant! " Kawashima made a simple explanation. In fact, it was similar to the rules of last autumn''s preliminary round.
The scores given by the five judges are also presented at this time
13、14、15、15、13！
After seeing the score, Alice can''t help but feel disappointed. After all, the score of 13 or 14 is hard to satisfy the "Princess" who has always been competitive.
The highest is only 15 points, but for the first time, there is a 15 point, which is given by Tangdao silver!
From the beginning of the preliminary contest, we can see that Tangdao bank is very strict in scoring for the competition of selecting the top ten, but now it gives the highest score among the judges?
"Although" fragrant black pudding "has the unique delicacy of" molecular cuisine ", it also has the monotonous defect of" molecular cuisine " However, as the first dish, I think it has played an appetizer role, which makes me more looking forward to the later dishes. " He said, explaining why he gave 15 points.
"70 points! Cut Alice player, get a total score of 70 points Kawashima preached.
There have been some discussions off the court. According to their estimation of Alice''s cooking skills and the reaction of the judges, 70 points is a little lower than their expectation
But I don''t know that the judges are all in their hearts. They define the cooking skills of the usual ten top 9 and ten seats at about "12 points", that is, the passing score. The strongest ten top they have witnessed means the full score of "20 points"!
In other words, each judge now thinks that Alice is a qualified top ten, and the total score is 70 points. In the past, it is estimated that she has seven or eight seats, which is quite high evaluation!
Kawashima immediately announced: "ah! After Alice''s contestant, xinhufei sand contestant also began to present their own food... "
What Fei Sha put in front of the judges was a bowl of white soup. From the point of view of no steam fog, it should be some kind of cold soup?
Moreover, we are not surprised by the color of the soup, because although the soup is white, we can vaguely see the black ingredients from the soup
At this time, Daquan Shijin, the oldest of the judges but still full of curiosity, had already fished in with a spoon.
In the close-up shot, when the real face of the "black food" on the spoon is exposed, there are bursts of discussions.
"Well? How does it look like "fragrant black pudding"
"Is it a reprocessing of Miss Alice''s cuisine?"
"Ah! I remember. I heard that there was a senior in the Ministry of higher education who had a very bad interest in imitating each other''s food in halberds, then improving it, and constantly winning by such means Is it xinhufei sand
"No, I heard that guy should be a big ugly man..."
That''s right! The ingredients in xinhufei sand''s cold white soup look like "fragrant black pudding" cut into small pieces!
"Hello! Little secretary, you haven''t been following me all these days, have you? Is the worship of painted lining finally twisted into the desire to follow? But why are you following me? " Said Alice jokingly.
"I, I didn''t follow you! This is also It''s a different thing, but it looks more like it! " Fei sand retorts discontentedly.
Indeed, looking at Fei Sha''s cooking table, you can see that Fei Sha can''t make "fragrant black pudding" without Alice''s large equipment.
"The appearance looks very similar, but if you look closely, you will find that the texture is not the same."
"Let''s try it first!"
Five judges put some black colloid pieces with white cold soup in their mouths one after another
"I see. The white soup is a sweet soup with coconut juice as the main ingredient."
"There is a bitter aftertaste in the paste block against the background of the sweet coconut soup, but more fragrance and sweetness!"
"It''s through this taste contrast that both bitter and sweet are more clearly displayed, and at the same time, they don''t seem abrupt..."
"It''s not only the taste, but also the color. In fact, if you look at it carefully, it''s not as black as the" black pudding "before, but it''s especially black and shiny against the background of coconut milk!"
"Is that what you want to say? Is black a concept relative to white
"After all, this It seems to be something similar to Guiling ointment, right? I did see that the ingredients she prepared included tortoise shellsFei Sha Sha then replied: "yes, it is similar to Guiling ointment in terms of technology, but because it''s just ordinary food, I didn''t use more medicinal Smilax glabra. Instead, I used other spice substitutes, and I didn''t use the rare olecranon turtle. Instead, I used the tortoise plate of cultured chinchilla and the collagen protein of edible tortoise, which was close to" food "in preparation It''s not medicated food. It should be said that "food and medicine have the same origin."
Traditional guiling paste is made of crushed tortoise shell, which is boiled together with drugs such as Smilax glabra, and then the dregs are filtered out. When the juice cools, it will appear semi fluid
Now most of the Guiling ointment is made from boiled medicinal juice, which is equivalent to making herbal juice version of cold cakes. While the medicinal effect is declining, it is good as a dessert.
Feisha''s "coconut milk turtle jelly" completely abandons the medicinal materials with higher medicinal value, such as Smilax glabra, and uses the collagen boiled from the ground turtle board and turtle meat, a small amount of spices with the effect of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as honey and sweet basil.
Although high temperature can destroy some nutrients in honey, caramelized honey also has a different taste
"The second Feisha player who presented the food also prepared desserts? The judges began to score. What would be the result compared with Alice? Let''s wait and see! "
14、13、14、14、15…… The scores given by the five judges are displayed on the big screen.
"The results come out! Total score 70 points! Share equally with Alice! But because of the exact ranking, please show Alice''s score... "
Kawashima''s voice is square. Before, Alice''s score also showed "13, 14, 15, 15, 13".
The scores of the two groups are arranged up and down, corresponding to the scores given by the same judge, which are all tied together. At the same time, the side with higher scores lights up a red light.
3:2！
Although the total score was the same, Alice got a higher score among the three judges, including Tang Dao Yin, Da Quan and hori Yue. Only Yuanguo and xiangtian gave Fei Sha a higher score. Therefore, although the score was equal, the final ranking was still Alice''s in Fei sha
"In the separate scoring, Alice won and was ranked first for the time being oh The third contestant who presented food also appeared. Why? Yisehui player and Zhitian xinnai player have action at the same time Yisehui stopped. Yisehui was a gentleman indeed. It seemed that she wanted to humble Zhitian Xuemei to present the food first!
Zhitian xinnai is the only one of the top ten one-year students in this year''s competition. He is a foreign student. It is said that before he enrolled, he had been studying in famous restaurants all over the world, and his hometown was Aichi County.... " Kawashima simply introduced the resume of shinnai Zhitian.
And Zhitian shinnai put five things that looked like burnt sticks in the middle of the plate and carried them up.
It seems that they are long, scorched black and dry branches. To put it pitifully, they are "the same as a burning stick". To put it tall, they are "the same as a magic weapon of a certain Xiaofan"
However, the smell of meat from it naturally can''t hide the judges'' sense of smell.
"Is this'' Malay black barbecue ''
"I really feel like ''Malay black barbecue'', but ''Malay black barbecue'' is a cooked type of barbecue, and this It also has the special flavor left by the open fire barbecue. "
Five judges said, will be considered a barbecue "burning stick" cut.
Only after cutting the section, the meat is white and red, completely different from the appearance that looks like coke!
The judges, who had just eaten two kinds of desserts, could not help but stir their fingers when they saw the crisp, tender meat inside and the smell of meat coming out.
When you put a piece of barbecued pork that looks black on the surface and fresh inside into your mouth, the taste fills your mouth, but it has the effect of baptism
The look of the judges changed from "indifferent" at the beginning to "surprised", which was similar to the look after tasting the spicy food I had been eating for a long time, but it was not so intense.
Looking at the expression of the judges, rapid changes can be inferred on the "black barbecue" satisfaction!
But the audience who didn''t taste it, and the other players on the scene, couldn''t help but wonder
"Wait a minute, barbecued pork Isn''t it salty but sweet? I''ve just tasted two desserts. When I taste the sweet barbecued pork, I should feel very tired, right
"That''s right, but judging from the judges, it''s definitely explosive, not a greasy dish!"
Xi jianrun then asked ye Shanliang, "how about it? Light, do you smell anything? "
Ye Shanliang is holding his nose with his hands, and he is judging with his eyes closed
A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes and said with a cold smile: "so it is. In essence, it is completely different from" black barbecued pork ". It has no sweet ingredients. The black itself is the product of chiweizeng and soy sauce marinating, baking the oil on the skin to a slight scorch!""Chiweizeng barbecue? How does it taste? " Xi see run some greedy appearance.
Ye Shanliang tried to hide his doting eyes, pretended not to care and said, "well, I can do it for you later, at least it''s like seven or eight points."
Because the previous "rash attack" has been alerted by Xi jianrun, ye Shanliang seems to have changed his mind and is ready to attack the west?
The food characteristics of Aichi county are inseparable from weizeng, which can even be called "weizeng cooks everything". After several years of study tour, Zhitian xinnai''s use of weizeng has become more diversified
"The salty taste of weizeng is perfectly combined with the taste of slightly burnt fat layer..."
"The pre curing is also in place, and the internal taste of barbecued pork doesn''t seem dull."
"I can''t imagine that besides Liu Pleiades, there are other students who have mastered the heat so incisively and vividly. They even keep the skin of barbecued pork slightly scorched while the meat inside is still chewing. They feel fresh and juicy!"
"But do you feel that this barbecued pork seems to give people a feeling of" endless meaning "
"It''s true, and it''s not accurate to say that it''s not enough. It''s a kind of A feeling of regret? Of course, I don''t say the taste of barbecued pork is regrettable... "
That''s right! Just after the entrance of Zhitian xinnai''s barbecued pork, while the judges indulged in the delicious food, they instinctively felt a kind of "regret". Although it was not a positive emotion, this kind of "regret" did not seem to be disgusting. On the contrary, it made everyone feel nostalgic for some past events
At this time, Zhitian xinnai also said: "just like this, the main material of barbecued pork is" meat ", and" meat " I also want to use this special "black barbecued pork" to show my regret that I have failed to achieve my ambition
"Cough, this is really in line with the topic of" dark cuisine "...." Hori more can''t help but say, just now he also want to ask in addition to color, where to show the theme!
And the judges started to press the scoring button
"Zhitian xinnai''s score will come out soon, please wait and see! Can her score surpass the previous two players? " Kawashima''s voice began to ring.
But at this time, most of the audience, especially those who don''t know about the students, obviously don''t think she has the ability to surpass Fei Sha and Alice!
The reason why the treatment of Zhitian xinnai is much more friendly than that of Xingping Chuang Zhen, who "raved" last year, and Liu Pleiades, who thinks her speech is very friendly, but is also considered to be sarcastic. Thanks to her chance to win the top ten seats as soon as she comes up, it also has something to do with her being a girl
No matter how bad the character is, girls, especially those who are good-looking, will always get some preferential treatment.
However, at this time, the score on the screen completely calmed everyone down!
16、15、16、16、15……
"This is The total score is 78! Surpassing the Alice contestant and the painted Rina contestant, the Zhitian xinnai contestant temporarily occupies the first place Kawashima also can''t help but Leng for a while, and then with the tone of shock announced.
Alice and Fei Sha seem a little depressed about this result, but they have heard Liu Pleiades say that Zhitian xinnai''s performance is likely to be higher than the two. Although they didn''t believe it very much before, they also had psychological preparation, so they didn''t lose their manners
Why does Liu Pleiades think so?
Because he clearly felt that whether Zhitian xinnai or Saito Sakura in jixingliao, their simple cooking skills might be just as good as Alice''s and Feisha''s, or even worse, but they have the heart of cooking!
In the academic school, even the top ten will not have the heart of cooking until graduation. Instead, they will improve their cooking skills first, and make their cooking skills more broad rather than deep
However, because of the wider range of knowledge, the school of study tour will have the culinary spirit earlier. At the same time, because the width of culinary skills is not as wide as the systematic teaching of the college school, it will gradually catch up with the advantages after the age of 20.
Chengichiro, for example, first expanded his width in the college, and then "dropped out" to study in advance, which made his cooking mature.
Of course, such as Saito Sakura and Zhitian shinnai who have the kitchen mind so early, is also very rare in you school!
Liu Pleiades, with the help of super vision and super hearing, can already see that Zhitian xinnai''s kitchen heart is the image of a woman wearing Samurai armor. However, in terms of momentum, it''s not like going to battle to kill the enemy, but like cutting her belly in the next second, giving people the feeling of a hero''s end
After Zhitian xinnai, yisehui had to present food again. However, Liu Pleiades raised his hand and said to yisehui: "sorry, yisehui. I want to apply to deal with the previous'' beluga ''. It may be a bit of a rush."
"It doesn''t matter. It''s better to have your performance as a side meal." Yi sehui said she didn''t care.
At this time, the staff pushed up a giant aquarium, which was a sturgeon that was one person long
