Chapter 35 Double Battle. Home Cooking VS Home Cooking
One person starts with fire, but the other person shines with sword.
Hojo Miyoko, who was supposed to be weak in knife skills, showed extremely amazing knife skills. The prepared bamboo shoots and carrots were cut into thin strips of the same size almost in the blink of an eye.
If you don't watch it in slow motion, you can't see how she matched it.
After slowing it down three times, you can see how quickly her knife cuts through the ingredients, slices them, and then cuts them into thin strips.
There was no hesitation when cutting the knife, and even the sound caused by the cutting was very small, which is enough to illustrate the progress of Miyoko Hojo in her knife skills!
“What amazing knife skills!”
Having seen the strength of Totsuki Academy, Senato Natsume was a little surprised, because Hojo Miyoko's knife skills seemed to be comparable to some of the top chefs in their group.
A bright light flashed in Kudo Konji's eyes.
According to igo's information, Hojo Miyoko's knife skills should be a weak point, but if the level shown now is still a weak point, then Totsuki does not need to open a school, but just opens a special chef training class.
'Could it be that just five days of training can lead to such a big breakthrough?'
However, as the commander-in-chief of Totsuki Academy, Kirisenzaemon's eyes moved and he did not show much joy.
"It's just a temporary outburst. Whether it can be sustained depends on the young people's understanding and efforts..."
Yes, just like the one state when playing basketball, there will also be such an explosive state when cooking, especially after high-intensity training, it is easy to enter this state. Zhao Youqian deliberately gave Miyoko Hojo before Shoji
Extreme training is also to give her the opportunity to grasp this state.
Now it seems that Miyoko Hojo has indeed entered that state.
Not only the veteran Kirisenzaemon saw this, but also Wang Donglai and Kudo Konji gradually understood it, and gained a new understanding of Zhao Youqian's previous actions that seemed to be sharpening his guns in battle.
"Sure enough, he is a formidable young man. It must have taken a lot of effort to reach this stage for Shi Ji."
However, Zhou Tianxing, who also saw Miyoko Hojo entering an explosive state in another lounge, was not too worried.
"But, you can train to the extreme, but I can't?"
"Young man, you are indeed too young!"
Sure enough, right in the picture, parallel to Miyoko Hojo's amazing knife skills, is Teruki Kuga's astonishing skill in cooking.
The four pots were started at the same time, and the ferocious flames almost enveloped his arms, but he was unconscious, and his bandaged hand continued to fiddle with the four pots with chopsticks.
Four different ingredients are being processed inside at the same time, but what is incomprehensible is that it seems that all four pots are in the hands of Kuaga Teruki, without any mistakes, and even the heat is perfect!
"Chopsticks?"
Wang Donglai, a judge from Yaozhou, had a glint in his eyes.
"It seems that Zhou Tianxing has made a lot of preparations! This competition is not as boring as I thought!"
Zhao Youqian, who was in the lounge, had his eyes widened at this time, carefully watching the movements in Kuga Teruki's hands.
"Silver chopsticks return ten pots?"
"The cooking skills in the dark cooking world are already second to none!"
Together with Arhat Crystal Slash, this is the second dark cooking skill that Zhao Youqian saw in Dongying.
"How many dark cooking skills have flowed into Dongying?"
There was a glint in his eyes, and Zhao Youqian's expression did not make anyone feel angry, but his low murmur already contained dissatisfaction.
"But this time, Hojo's winning rate is hard to say!"
The two screens in the lounge respectively played the pre-processing on both sides.
Zhao Youqian's words seemed to be no longer sure of victory, but he still didn't have too much worry, because he knew that Miyoko Hojo was a woman who got stronger with each war, a woman who was tougher than men!
"Peanuts and cashews are dried separately, chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns are fried together, and finally a pot of oil is heated..."
Having already made a judgment on Kuaga Teruki's recipe selection, Zhao Youqian evoked a smile.
"So, it's still the same choice that people in Yaozhou make...do they all choose home-cooked food?"
"Work hard on basic skills and take the road of royal competition?"
In another lounge, the fat man Zhou Tianxing was biting his nails, looking at the ingredients shredded by Miyoko Hojo, and already guessing the recipe Zhao Youqian chose for her.
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
"As expected, is it the pride of a genius? But if that's the case, that loser will have a chance!"
A sharp light flashed in his eyes. Zhou Tianxing would naturally not place his future career in cooking on Teruki Kuaga. In his eyes, all this was just a smoke bomb to cover up his true plan.
Because from beginning to end, he only believed in himself!
His eyes fell on Wang Donglai, a visitor from Yaozhou, and Zhou Tianxing showed a strange smile.
"Now that there are people over there, I really want to see if the geniuses who were forced to leave Yaozhou can withstand the pressure from Yaozhou's culinary community!"
...
In the lounge, while the two chefs who were about to confront each other had different ideas, the two students present were already firing on all cylinders.
Not only the fire skills were displayed, but also the extraordinary level of knife skills caused a burst of noise. The skinless chicken legs were peeled, the tendons were cut, and the dices were cut into cubes.
After that, it is marinated and starched, and then diced with ginger and green onions. The size is almost as indistinguishable as measuring it with a ruler.
Even the dry-fried peanuts and cashews are cut into consistent sizes.
There was a kind of silence in Kuga Teruki's indifferent expression that was different from his previous ones, and the hollowness in his eyes held a terrifying power of death that could not be ignored.
Coupled with his knife skills, he has gained a lot of fans even though he is already one of the top ten.
And the dishes he is going to make have already been spotted by several judges.
It is one of the most traditional dishes in Yaozhou and Sichuan Province.
Kung Pao Chicken!
Although there are different opinions about the origin of this dish, Sichuan Province is indeed the one that has brought this dish to the extreme, so it is not wrong to attribute it to Sichuan cuisine.
The four pots running at the same time seem to greatly shorten the entire preparation process.
The freshness and tenderness pursued by Kung Pao Chicken will also be achieved in this way.
But opposite Kuga Teruki, Miyoko Hojo, who has completed her serious work, will not just stay quiet.
Accompanied by the sound of ignition of the cannon.
‘Bang bang bang’
A wave of heat from the fire swept through half of the venue, causing the staff present to take a few steps back, and the people in the audience widened their eyes.
Compared with Kuga Teruki's delicate operation of four stoves, the cooking skills of stir-frying with the power of fire are what really attract the attention.
Even the judges present couldn't help but squint their eyes.
"At this stir-frying temperature... when making fish-flavored shredded pork, aren't you afraid of problems when it's battered?"
Senotori Ori couldn't help but show a hint of worry. From a woman's natural standpoint, she was obviously on Hojo Miyoko's side. Being the head of the curry group didn't mean that she didn't know enough about other dishes.
Especially the world-famous Yaozhou cuisine like Sichuan cuisine.
Wang Donglai, who had never spoken a word, showed a rare look of interest.
