"So beautiful!" An exclaimed with sparkling eyes as she looked at the lobster platter in front of her.
Even Nakiri Erina on the side couldn't help but take a few more glances at the summer lobster platter. As expected, girls all like gorgeous and beautiful things.
However, Li Yanke on the side was not in such a good mood. Seeing all the judges commenting and praising Summer's lobster platter, but no one cared about his own, he couldn't help but shout:
"Hey, don't just look at that brat's works, you should also look at mine!"
However, Nakiri Senzaemon and others seemed not to hear what Li Yan said, and were still looking at the summer lobster platter.
"How dare you people ignore me."
Li Yan couldn't help but clenched his fists and walked towards the judges' table angrily.
"Don't be embarrassed, Li Yan." Xiang En's cold voice stopped Li Yan.
"What do you mean, Xiang En."
"Don't you understand? You have already lost this round."
"What, how is it possible? They obviously haven't..." Li Yan said in disbelief, how could he lose the lobster platter without even commenting on it?
"Yes, you have indeed lost." Aang raised his head and said proudly.
"What!"
"This chef in the dark culinary world, Miss An is right, you have already lost the moment you two brought your lobster platter in front of us." Nakiri Hisashi said slowly like a gentleman.
"Why, is my knife skills not as good as this kid's?" Li Yan didn't believe that his decades of knife skills would be lost to a young boy.
"No, your swordsmanship is on par with that boy's. There is not much difference between the two of you." Nakiri Senzaemon said solemnly with his eyes closed.
"Then why?" Li Yan really felt a little confused this time.
"Look, what's the difference between your lobster platter and summer's lobster platter." Nakiri Senzaemon put the two people's platters together and let Li Yan observe by himself.
"I want to see how that kid is better than me." Li Yan walked closer to observe.
"The ingredients are the same, and the knife skills are just right..." Li Yan couldn't help but admire the little guy's knife skills as he looked at the thin shrimp slices cut by Xia Tian. After all, he had been practicing for decades, and the knife skills in the entire dark cooking world were unparalleled.
There are not many people who are better than him. He thought so in his heart but still said stiffly,
"But this brat's plating is really fancy." Li Yan said disdainfully. "Wait, the plating!" Li Yan suddenly thought of something, and quickly looked at his own plating and Xia Tian's plating, his face suddenly darkened.
Come down.
"It seems you understand where you lost." An heard Li Yan's surprised voice and knew that he already knew where he missed Xia Tian.
"That's right, it's just a platter." An's affirmation confirmed Li Yan's suspicion.
"The shrimp slices you cut are not much different in terms of knife skills, size, and thickness. But compared to Xia Tian, your lobster platter is also carefully plated, but the difference is still too big."
There were two lobster platters on the judges' table. Although Li Yan's was carefully matched and embellished with shrimp shells and fruits, it was still a lot worse than the shrimp slices specially used to create blooming peonies in summer. The shrimp meat was almost transparent.
And the stamens made of carrots, it looks like a white peony from a distance. The little stars of the shrimp slices also add a cold beauty to this flourishing peony.
"Chef Li Yan, you haven't really received guests for a long time, right? Although it's just a duel of knife skills, the color of color, fragrance and flavor is also an important factor in attracting guests. It seems that you have forgotten it."
Li Yan's face was livid under the mask. After joining the dark cooking world, he sank into hatred. He was not thinking about how to cook well, but to take revenge on Ji Di. Although he failed in the first round, Li Yan's hands
I was trembling a little, and I couldn't help but think that I was wrong.
No, it's not my fault. It's all because of Ji Di's despicableness that I became like this. As long as I take revenge on Ji Di, it will be fine. Thinking of this, Li Yan steeled his mind and looked at Xia Tian opposite him.
"Boy, you were lucky in the last round. I won't let you go this time. Let's move on to the second round."
Xia Tian didn't speak and silently walked to his kitchen counter.
"Miss Marin, what's the second round?" Nakiri Kiku looked at Marin next to her.
"Yes, distinguished guest, this round is about explosion."
“Fried shrimp.”
"This is not a simple project. It involves controlling the oil temperature, timing and making the coat." Nakiri Senzaemon couldn't help but nodded. Now he can understand a little bit about the strength of both parties.
In the flavor fighting field, Xia Tian threw two lobsters directly into the air, and at the same time jumped high with both feet. Li Yan only felt two silver lights flashing in the air. The excited Li Yan closed his eyes slightly, waiting to open his eyes.
When you open your eyes, the lobster's shell has been perfectly separated, and it only takes less than two seconds.
"He was actually hiding his strength just now."
Li Yan couldn't believe it, but Xia Tian's knife skills in front of him had fully explained everything. He no longer underestimated Xia Tian, and used all his strength to fight.
On Xia Tian's side, looking at the two intact shrimps on the chopping board, Xia Tian also nodded with satisfaction.
"This "Instant Cut" skill is really useful." The hard practice finally paid off.
On the judges' stage.
"Grandpa, have you seen it?"
Nakiri Erina covered her mouth and said in surprise.
"I saw it. I didn't expect this young man to hide his strength, but..." Nakiri Senzaemon turned to look at Marin and asked tentatively: "Miss Marin, there are still people like Chef Li Yan in your organization?"
Is it much?"
"A lot!" Marin's words startled everyone. Nakiri Thistle's face became even more gloomy.
"Look at the commander-in-chief." An's voice brought everyone's attention back to the field.
Xia Xia and Li Yan were seen constantly beating eggs into bowls with both hands. Although this is a common thing in the kitchen,...
"This speed is too fast." Looking at their hand speed, which was so fast that people could only see their shadows, Erina said bitterly. But then Marin said strangely: "It's very fast, but it's not
Are they all basic skills?”
Looking at Marin's innocent look, Erina and the others didn't know whether Marin did it on purpose or if it was really the case. The former was easy to say, but the latter would be difficult.
At this time, both of them wrapped the shrimp meat in a coat and started the final stage: frying!!
The oil pan has already been heated. As soon as the shrimps are put into the oil pan, the oil that was calm just now starts to boil and makes a sizzling sound.
Li Yan stared at the pot, watching the coating on the shrimp slowly change. Finally, when the whole fried shrimp turned golden brown, Li Yan immediately took the fried shrimp out and put it on a plate.
He couldn't help but look at Xia Tian opposite him, and found that the other party had just finished the fried shrimps. He breathed a sigh of relief, because according to the speed that the kid showed just now, Li Yan was really afraid that Xia Tian would finish it before him. If that was the case,
Just...
But now there is still time for him to make the sauce. It only takes one minute to defeat that kid. Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but smile proudly.
"I finished."
Xia Tian's voice immediately made Li Yan's smile freeze on his face. He looked down at his food and couldn't help clenching his fists.
