Chapter 57: The legendary investment in ingredients!)
"Oh my gosh, we can see the chef of the restaurant, Master Zhao Youqian, show off his wonderful knife skills first."
As the host, Kamimiya Minako naturally knows how to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene.
"I wonder what the judges think of this?"
Since he serves as a judge for the competition, explaining the actions of the chefs on the cooking table is naturally a necessary part of his job.
Neither the three ladies nor the two high-status men mind this, but with the head of the igo branch here, this kind of work will naturally be handed over to Jiucou Luyuan.
Seeing that the people around him had no intention of helping him, Jiuzou Luyuan had no choice but to pick up the phone.
"Deboning a whole chicken is considered a level in Yaozhou's mid-level star chef assessment, but it's not that difficult."
"But everyone, pay attention to the scenes that Chef Zhao is handling."
The large screen in the center of the stage simultaneously displayed a slow-speed analysis of Zhao Youqian's techniques. It was not until the slow playback was played sixteen times that Zhao Youqian's extremely fast techniques could really be seen clearly by the audience.
"There were six cuts in total. With the help of hands, it only took less than 20 seconds to remove all the bones of a whole chicken."
"As for the general mid-star assessment, the set time is within three minutes."
"Regardless of what the concept of speeding up to twenty seconds is, the audience can probably understand how perfect Chef Zhao's knife skills are."
“Considering Chef Zhao’s age, he can be considered a genius in the knife crafting world!”
Perhaps he felt that Zhao Youqian had a bright future, or perhaps he wanted Zhao Youqian to stay in Dongying and at least pass the special level exam.
Kusou Rokuen was so flattering in his explanation that Kirisenzaemon beside him looked at him with something wrong.
‘Is igo so hard that you want to steal someone from me?’
Thinking about this, he couldn't sit still. Although igo naturally wouldn't compete for any talented people, his resources were really good. Many special-level people were willing to accept igo's recruitment even if they didn't join the forces of various countries. .
In the past few years, igo has not received any particularly outstanding talents to join. If you really want to recruit Zhao Youqian...
"Ahem."
Kirisenzaemon couldn't help but pick up the microphone after a second thought.
'You know how to play? I can't?'
"More than that, the audience should notice that Chef Zhao's hand movements are crisp and smooth without any stagnation. It can be said that he has already understood all the skeletal details of the entire chicken before cutting it."
"Look at the extracted bones. Apart from the diaphragm and some internal organs, there is no extra chicken at all."
"This is the kind of knife skills that can only be acquired through hard work. Chef Zhao must have practiced his knife skills tens of thousands of times in private!"
Jiuzou Luen looked dumbfounded and seemed to not understand why Kirisenzaemon had such a hand in it, and began to praise Zhao Youqian crazily.
Kirisenzaemon sneered slightly as he put down the phone.
'When it comes to flattering people, you are still very young!'
The two authoritative judges praised one after another, which naturally attracted the attention of the audience. The audience, whose attention was originally attracted by the three female judges or the proprietress of Ying Yuxuan, couldn't help but look at the Yaozhou boy who never slowed down his movements in the hand.
Seeing such unfazed young people, they couldn't help but think of the strength comparison of this competition on the Internet.
This young man from Yaozhou can almost be called the strongest among all stores, and he is also the big devil who must break through if he wants to win the championship!
However, Zhao Youqian actually suffered from severe head pain.
'Have these two eaten too much honey? Are your mouths so sweet?'
Is deboning a whole chicken very powerful? In fact, it is very powerful, but it is just a knife technique.
In this world where cooking skills are practiced to the extreme, it is really not an amazing skill. Even if Zhao You deboned a chicken completely in twenty seconds, it was just a sign of proficiency in this technique.
However, the two of them seemed to have seen something incredible, and they praised each other, making Zhao Youqian feel a little embarrassed.
But you definitely can't tell from the outside. Only when you turn around occasionally, you can tell some clues by slightly twitching the corners of your mouth.
"Grandstanding! Superficial brat!"
At the other end of the stage, where Onimaru Ramen Shop was, stood a man with gray hair, who looked like he was in his early fifties, and the ravines on his face showed the traces of time.
Only when stirring the soup, my hands remained steady.
Looking up at the big screen, the chef quickly continued to be immersed in the work at hand. Since there are two strict judges and the 'God's Tongue', the ramen he spent his whole life developing should also have its real name. Yangdong cherry blossoms.
This is the opportunity he has been waiting for all his life!
A glint flashed in his eyes. Onimaru's chef didn't take Zhao Youqian's reputation to heart at all, because he knew that his ramen would never be overshadowed by any other dishes.
This is the taste he spent his entire life creating!
...
“Chicken food?”
Kondo Haidian paid the most attention to Zhao Youqian. After discovering his method of deboning a whole chicken, his eyes showed a hint of joy.
Judging from the materials he makes, this is the one he is least afraid of, because compared to its deliciousness, nothing can surpass its level.
Because what he has is the King of Snappers!
Legendary ingredients!
King snapper!
...
No matter what outsiders think or care about, Zhao Youqian still handles his chicken processing meticulously.
Different from making the rejuvenating chicken, this time he not only took out the whole spine and breastbone, but also took out all the chicken leg bones and chicken wing bones. The whole chicken was completely deflated like a deflated rubber ball.
And this is the effect Zhao Youqian wants!
Only in this way can he smoothly handle the legendary ingredient known as the God of Fighting among Chickens for its strength and elasticity.
Kyoto cockfight!
Yes, the chicken that Zhao Youqian is holding looks like the famous Kyoto chicken, but it is actually the legendary ingredient with one more word, Kyoto fighting cock!
It should be said that Kyoto chicken was originally raised as a fighting cock, but with the development of the times, this kind of elastic and chewy chicken was abandoned by the times, and became a special ingredient only found in old places like Sengen Shrine.
The original Kyoto chicken is famous for its elastic texture and much lower fat content than ordinary chicken.
The Kyoto cockfighting chicken has reached a point where it cannot be described as elastic, making it extremely difficult to cook.
However, just like Kyoto chicken because of its elastic meat and its taste and umami that are far beyond ordinary chicken, the flavor of Kyoto fighting chicken is far beyond that of ordinary chicken.
Even Yaozhou’s famous chickens, three yellow chickens and silky chickens are hard to match!
Just when Zhao Youqian started to prepare for the next step of processing this difficult-to-handle ingredient, there was an uproar.
Kamimiya Minako came over with a surprised voice.
"Let's see, Kondoen's chef shows off the ingredients in his tank, strange fish covered in moss and shells!"
On the judges' bench, Kirisenzaemon had already stood up.
