Chapter 65: Shattered Pride

"Kyoto cockfight?"

Unlike ordinary viewers, Kamimiya Minako is obviously very sensitive to this unfamiliar name.

The timely interruption also gave the two big figures the opportunity to show off their knowledge.

"I don't know, what's the difference between this kind of chicken and ordinary Kyoto chicken?"

I have to say that as a host, Kamimiya Minako's timing is excellent every time she speaks. Especially at this time, the judges don't have much to say. They can't keep showing the charming scenes of the three female judges.

Bar?

"It should be said that Kyoto chicken is a weakened version of Kyoto fighting chicken. It is easier to raise and cook."

Jiucou Luyuan did his part to become the commentator.

"Once upon a time, cockfighting was all the rage in Kyoto, and Kyoto cockfighting was the legendary chicken that was bred at that time. Its strong feathers, bones comparable to steel, and extremely tough chicken made it the king of cockfighting."

"Later on, cockfighting events gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and Kyoto cockfighting gradually became a typical example of being difficult to raise and cook."

"This led to the emergence of Kyoto chicken, a special product of Kyoto, that was later crossed with common chicken breeds and Kyoto fighting chickens."

"The chicken is full of elasticity, full of juice, and more delicious than ordinary chicken. These reputations given to Kyoto chicken are all put on Kyoto fighting chicken, and then magnified ten times, it is almost the actual deliciousness of Kyoto fighting chicken!"

"

Blinking her eyes, Kamimiya Minako's big round eyes were full of confusion.

"Why does such a chicken become a legendary ingredient? Even if it is difficult to cook, it shouldn't be difficult for everyone in Kyoto who cooks so many dishes!"

There are more detailed historical reasons for this. Kusou Rokuen has only been here as the head of the igo branch for only five years, so naturally he cannot cover everything, so the microphone was passed to the hands of Kirisenzaemon, the Demon King of Food.

"Raising is too difficult!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Kirisenzaemon told the public a fact.

"When used as a gamecock, every Kyoto Gamecock can get huge rewards, but when it becomes food, the risks and rewards are out of proportion, which is why the Kyoto Gamecock gradually loses its popularity!"

"You must know that at that time, raising Kyoto fighting cocks not only required almost full-time care, but also fighting cocks was extremely dangerous. Every year, farmers were injured or even killed by fighting cocks."

After hearing this reason, everyone present understood why this kind of fighting cock has become a legendary ingredient. It is not that it tastes amazing, but that it is too dangerous and the return rate is too low.

However, according to Kirisenzaemon, this kind of fighting cock cannot survive in the wild and can only be raised artificially. Therefore, it is normal for such troublesome poultry to become a legend.

After listening to such legends and anecdotes, everyone was able to satisfy a little of the hunger awakened by Zhao Youqian's cooking, and the atmosphere at the scene became much calmer.

The three female judges also woke up, but the way they looked at Zhao Youqian was different now.

That exciting and warm feeling made it impossible for them to treat Zhao Youqian normally.

It's so shameful and so unforgettable...

"So, how many points will the judges give to Chef Zhao's cuisine?"

"Let's take a look!"

Following Minako Kamimiya's announcement, a stream of numbers were displayed on the big screen.

"yes!!"

"It's five out of ten!"

"Oh my god, let's congratulate Chef Zhao Youqian. He got the highest score now and the highest score in this competition, with a full score of thirty points!"

Amid Minako Kamimiya's surprised announcement and the admiration of the audience, the five judges gave their evaluations.

Regardless of whether it is a formal competition or not, a dish that has reached the special standard, rather than being limited to the standard of quasi-special, deserves full marks.

Even Kiri Erina, who was unwilling to be conquered by her tongue again, showed her teeth and threatened Zhao Youqian while honestly giving a perfect evaluation.

This surprised Zhao Youqian. He originally thought that this tsundere would be deducted a point.

"Isn't it true that the championship will be given to a Yaozhou native?"

Soon such voices were heard in the audience. Although the relationship between Yaozhou and Dongying has always been stable, there are also different voices. Especially when the Western food industry entered Dongying, the threat theory of Yaozhou was repeatedly suppressed.

Although it was just an entertainment competition, the first place championship was won by a Yaozhou native, which still made many people feel unhappy.

As a result, Kondo Haidian, who also has legendary ingredients praised by the judges and has not yet been served, has become the target of encouragement for this group of people.

“Come on Chef Kondo!”

"Get that Yaozhou boy down!"

As the cheers rang out, there was also a wave, but Zhao Youqian, who had already left the judging stage and returned to his cooking table to rest, just smiled and looked at Kondo Haidian's dying struggle.

...

“So what about premium level cuisine!”

"With King Snapper and Arhat Crystal Slash, I can also achieve perfect scores!"

At this time, he no longer expected to defeat Zhao Youqian in this competition. Kondo Haidian gritted his teeth and spoke to the assistant beside him.

"Prepare liquid nitrogen!"

As if he sensed that Kondo Haidian was finally going to take action, the camera immediately zoomed in, giving a clear view of Kondo Garden's cooking table.

I saw Kondo Haidian taking out a frozen round iron bucket from the freezer, and his two assistants continued to spray liquid nitrogen on the chopping board to cool down. For a while, the white mist was thick, and the air-conditioning covered the entire cooking table. shrouded.

Even the faucets have begun to condense with a layer of frost.

"What is he doing?"

The thawed king snapper meat seemed to be breathing, emitting a faint white fluorescence and placed aside.

Senato Natsume, the queen of curry, looked at Kondo Haidian's movements in a strange way.

"Just some unseen tricks!"

Having already learned from her grandfather that Kondo Haidian had learned the cooking skills of a dark cook, Kiri Erina was particularly disgusted with him.

The moment Kirie Rina finished speaking, Kondo Haidian had already opened the frozen cylinder, and a thin transparent ice blade was held in his hand.

Jiucou Luyuan showed a hint of surprise, of course he recognized what it was.

"Beichen Sirius Blade?"

Just as he was stunned, Kirisenzaemon's voice sounded.

"It's just an imitation. He can't hold the real Beichen Sirius Blade. His arm will be frozen in an instant, and the real thing should emit a faint blue light."

With Kirisenzaemon's evaluation, the surprise in Kusoro's eyes subsided, and instead he showed a thoughtful expression.

I don’t know whether it was the extremely low temperature that caused the pain, or Kondo Haidian’s use of dark cooking skills to change his character.

I saw him suppressing his distorted face, placing the king snapper on the freezing chopping board, and started cutting it like a demon.

As the slices of crystal-clear king snapper meat are cut, they fall onto the outer layer of the iceberg that has been piled on the plate. The amazing knife skills seem to form a long, ever-changing rainbow mirror in the air.

And when the king snapper meat landed on the iceberg, its fluorescent and reflective appearance also caused bursts of noise from the audience.

"Look, look, we in Dongying also have powerful masters!"

For ordinary people, this kind of cooking technique is indeed much more exciting than Onimaru Sanhui's cooking, and they feel that Kondo Haidian is indeed the most powerful cook present.

"Crack!"

There was an abnormal sound, and when the cut was not completed but halfway through, the ice blade in Kondo Haidian's hand had completely broken.

Kondo Haidian, whose distorted expression softened slightly, soaked his hands in warm water, and then served freshly ground wasabi made from shark skin, as well as Kondoen's special soy sauce to enhance the deliciousness of the king sea bream.

A whole iceberg snapper sashimi shimmering with a faint cyan light was delivered to the judging stage.

“Chilled King Sea Bream!”

“Please taste it!”

Kondo Haidian exhaled deeply, showing a confident look.

However, Kirisenzaemon and Kusuru Rokuen just looked at each other with pity, then directly raised their chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, and put it into their mouths without dipping it in the sauce.

The fish meat cut using extremely low-temperature ice blades is as thin as cicada wings, but has a hint of freezing coldness, just like smoothie, giving people the illusion of freshness in the mouth.

It's like a living king snapper flicking its tail hard at you.

‘Bata’

However, after eating this quasi-special dish, not only did Kusoroen not fall into an illusion, but even Kirisenzaemon's clothes did not explode.

Kiri Erina, who is the Tongue of God, even spit out half of the fish after taking a bite.

The proud young lady didn't know what it meant to give people face, so she looked at Kondo Haidian with disdain and gave her rating coldly.

"Three points, failed!"

And Kondo Haidian, who had been smiling calmly, seemed to have been thrown into hell, with bloodshot eyes showing and yelling hysterically.

"Why! Why!"

"Why do the dishes I put so much effort into only get three points?"
