Chapter 31, Chinese Banquet Cuisine - Yaochi Eight Immortals Banquet
"Next, Shi Ke will present his own dishes." Rei Kawashima hosted.
"Yeah." Shi Ke brought his own dish to the judges' table.
As soon as he put the dishes on the table, the whole place fell silent.
A big winter melon…
A large winter melon with carved patterns was placed on the tray in front of the three judges.
"Ishiko-kun, can you open the lid?" Kirisenzaemon asked.
"Oh. Please wait a moment." Shi Ke took out a small cylindrical iron box from his pants pocket.
Then, he opened a small hole on the edge of the winter melon lid and poured the contents of the small iron box into it.
In an instant, a burst of white mist seeped out from the lid and slowly flowed down along the pattern on the surface of the winter melon. A small sea of clouds suddenly appeared on the table.
"Dry ice..." Teacher Roland Chapel said.
"You will lower the temperature of the dishes, which will affect the taste. Moreover, the dishes..." Erina knocked on the table lightly.
"Fragrance, right? I haven't considered this. Why should I eat halberds with the Ten Heroes? Miss Erina, you'd better not worry about it. Please taste my food." Shi Ke interrupted.
Erina raised the lid of the winter melon as she spoke.
Erina...has an angry face.
Ka! The four sides of the winter melon seemed to have mechanisms, opening to all sides like a city gate bridge. The dry ice mist inside the winter melon flowed down along the four sides of the snow-white winter melon meat that was hung diagonally, covering the entire tray with the winter melon.
, and a ball of warm steam in the middle turns into auspicious clouds and floats into the sky. Under the illumination of the lights, it has a sense of fantasy and blockbuster, which is fascinating.
The clouds gradually dissipated, and the dishes appeared. Eight sculptures, some sitting, some lying, some laughing boldly, some ladies being reserved, men, women, old and young, rich and poor, all lifelike and exquisitely drunk, they were the famous Eight Drunken Immortals at home and abroad. Among everyone
There is a clear and distinct pool of steaming nectar and jade liquid, flowing slowly and rippling, but the floating clouds of water vapor make it difficult to see clearly. And not far behind the eight people, there are eight people surrounding them.
There is a tofu jade pagoda made of eight kinds of tofu of different qualities. Under the light, the ripples of light flow faintly on the eight jade pagodas. Each pagoda has a word engraved on the top to represent the eight virtues, namely the Eight Immortals and the Eight Virtues.
Compassion, compassion for things, Lu Dongbin.
Modesty, contentment and constant happiness, Zhang Guolao.
Frugality, diligence and frugality, Lan Caihe.
Qing Dynasty, do not follow the turbulent flow, Cao Guojiu.
Harmony, harmony but not flow, Han Zhongli.
Forgive, treat others with kindness, Tieguaili.
Jane, keep the truth as it is, He Xiangu.
Simple, unpretentious and frank, Han Xiangzi.
The three judges looked at the beautiful dishes in front of them, which were like a fairyland on earth, and asked a common question, "..., this is a dish?!"
"Chinese banquet cuisine. Yaochi Eight Immortals Banquet! Please taste it." The stone guest stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.
As soon as the dishes appeared, the venue was in an uproar and was silent for a long time. Each of the ten heroes was rubbing their eyes.
What the hell is this? The dishes are made with special effects?!
Kuga Teruki's eyes and chin could no longer be retracted.
Holy shit! Cooking with special effects?! What the hell did you add to the food!!
"Senior Jiuga, can you still take a look at my presentation?" Shi Ke turned around with a smile, the meaning in his eyes was very clear, apologize! Otherwise, I will beat him!
"I'm sorry! I looked at the problem too one-sided!!" Kuaga Teruki was quite candid, and he apologized without any hesitation.
"Yeah." Shi Ke smiled.
"But just because the food looks good, it doesn't mean it tastes good! I haven't lost yet!"
"Hmm. Judges, don't be stunned. If you keep watching, the dishes should be cooled. Let's eat." Shi Ke said with his hands behind his back.
"Oh? Oh! Ahem, yes, yes, eat." After Kirisenzaemon-sama came to his senses, he demonstrated what it meant to muddle through.
Each of the three judges held a small plate and began to eat tofu from Shi Ke's dish with chopsticks.
Kirisenzaemon-sama and Mr. Roland Chapelle clamped the tofu quickly and firmly, and in no time they had the tofu cubes on their plates.
Then, Shi Ke saw the change in Kirina's expression from confident to serious and then angry to the point where veins appeared on her head.
Sister, you haven’t eaten yet? Why are you making such a big expression?
Shi Ke went over and took a look. The young lady took chopsticks and the tenderest pile of tofu and just put it on... yes, it just put it on it.
She couldn't pick it up, even though her face was red, she didn't pick it up. The tofu was too slippery, so she didn't dare to use force, for fear that she would break the tofu if she used too much force.
"Would you like a spoon?" Shi Ke asked, unable to stand it any longer.
"Do you think I can't use chopsticks?! Ah!" Erina blushed and slapped the table.
"As you please, as you please."
Shi Ke thought, "It's so important to save face."
Shi Ke was watching curiously, holding a spoon in his hand behind his back.
(.)
Sister, I want to see when you give up the chopsticks and ask me for a spoon.
A minute passed, and Erina was still picking up her first piece of tofu.
The commander-in-chief and teacher Roland Chapel on the side couldn't stand it anymore. They were holding the tofu on the plate, neither eating it nor eating it.
"Ishiko-san, please get her a spoon." Lord Kirisenzaemon spoke.
"Oh." Shi Ke took out the spoon in his hand.
"No, no need! I finally... picked it up!!" Ms. Erina was sweating from exhaustion without eating a single bite. She looked at the tofu in her hand happily.
"Bah bang bang..." Shi Ke clapped beside him. I was really touched by your desperate need to save face.
"Eat it. It's already cold." Kirisenzaemon said.
"Yeah." Teacher Roland Chapel nodded.
Kirie Rina started eating with an angry face.
I’m embarrassed again... Why am I always embarrassed when I meet this guy!!
The tofu is in your mouth.
The three of them were stunned, looked at each other and nodded. They were completely different from when they were eating Kuga Terunori's food, without saying a word and in absolute silence.
"Okay, the time has come." Shi Ke said.
Upon hearing this, the three of them looked at Shi Ke's Banquet of the Eight Immortals. At this time, the dry ice mist in the dishes completely dissipated.
A faint fragrance floats out, getting stronger and stronger. It is not irritating at all. It just teases you bit by bit like a beautiful woman. When you smell it carefully, this mysterious fragrance will secretly turn into
Another completely different aroma exploded into the nostrils of the three of them, strong and ferocious. When you almost couldn't stand it anymore, the aroma changed again, turning into a soothing and relaxing massage, soothing you just now.
The stimulated nasal cavity arouses the appetite from the heart.
"Run, this seems to be... using temperature to control the layering of aroma, even taking into account the taster's own adaptation time to the strong aroma?! This is simply the perfect theoretical state of my research results. How could anyone
Use it directly in reality?!" In the corner of the stands, a girl with glasses and ponytail wearing a white coat and the handsome silver-haired black man beside her exclaimed with wide eyes.
"Give me the spoon!" Erina stretched out her hand towards Shi Ke.
"Yeah. Here." Shi Ke handed the spoon to Erina.
Erina took the spoon, put a piece of tofu on each tofu pillar, put it on her plate, and started eating by herself. She squinted her eyes as she ate. Her expression was like a cat, very...
enjoy.
Behind Erina, the little secretary's eyes widened in surprise, "This is the first time I've seen Miss Erina's expression like this!!"
"Zila!! Hahahaha... This kind of thing can happen!!!"
The fragments of clothes were flying in the air, and Kirisenzaemon-sama laughed and tore off his kimono, revealing a body of muscular muscles that were completely inconsistent with his age.
"What's going on? I've heard of the Commander-in-Chief's ripping off clothes! What's going on with this ripping off clothes? Is it a new way of expression?..." Kawashima Rei's scream came from the speakers.
"It's delicious! It's totally unreasonable and delicious!" Teacher Roland Chapel didn't say much. He talked too much. He couldn't grab the food but the strong and healthy gentleman next to him.
After a while, the three of them finished eight tofu jade pillars and were satisfied.
Kuaga Teruki was standing next to him with a horrified look on his face. How could he have such a reaction?!
The ten heroes were not much better, a few even frowned.
So strong!! It is undoubtedly the strength of the top ten to be able to bring these guys into such a state!!
"Are your mouths a little dry? Come on, try the soup that goes with this dish, the tofu dish, the fine wine and jade liquid, Wensi tofu. Please taste it." Shi Ke took out a small bowl and filled the tofu in the center of the winter melon for the three of them.
Soup.
"Yeah." The three of them picked up the small bowls and drank slowly.
Quiet, peaceful, and contented. Maximum soothing effect. The tofu shreds melt in your mouth, but they retain their elasticity and have maximum taste.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the audience seemed to see the sacred halo behind the heads of the three judges.
After a while, Wensi Tofu bottomed out.
"Huh..., it's really... great." Teacher Roland Chapel said with a smile.
"No need to comment yet, we've finished the appetizer and appetizer soup, now we can have the main course." Shi Ke nodded and said.
"Hmm. Let's eat the main course..., uh? What we just had was not the main course?!" The three of them asked in surprise after being stunned for a moment.
"Did I say it was the main course?" Shi Ke tilted his head.
"Then the main dish is..." The three of them looked at the eight statues.
"Yes. The original home-cooked dish, the improved version of the banquet tofu stuffed with meat, please try it."
"Isn't this decoration?! How can we eat it when you make it so exquisitely?" After Erina put He Xiangu on the plate, she was a little bit confused about how to eat it. It was so exquisite, it was completely a work of art.
"Eating it completely without wasting it is the best destination for my dish. What's more, my dish is all edible, without decoration." Shi Ke said with a smile.
The three of them looked at each other and nodded, eat!!
After a while, the three of them were satisfied and looked at the ceiling with tears in their eyes, exclaiming together, "It's delicious! It's completely unreasonable and delicious! Once I eat this tofu dish, how can I still swallow it in the future?"
Order other tofu dishes!!”
Kuga Teruki had already sat on the floor with his eyes blank.
There's no need to compete. Just look at the judges' expressions and you can tell that they were beaten.
