The strongest gourmet food system

Chapter 123 Chapter 2

"By the way, senior sister, I only practice for half a month, can I reach your two-year level?"

"Oh, are you dreaming? I just said that you cut carrots for half a month, but I didn't say that after half a month, you don't need to cut carrots anymore."

"Eh?"

Zheng Ke's eyes widened and his mind went blank. He wouldn't have been chopping carrots for a whole month, right?

Just when Zheng Ke was having a headache, the screen of the mobile phone on the table suddenly turned on, and Yi Sehui sent an email.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, the preliminaries of the autumn trials have come out." Zheng Ke stood up and stretched himself, "Senior sister, I don't have much time left."

"What topic?" Xuanli asked curiously.

"Pasta." Zheng Ke slightly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

The theme was issued nearly two months in advance, and the school obviously wanted to make adequate preparations for those who participated in the autumn election.At the same time, this also shows that if you want to stand out from the 60 contestants, you must come up with enough excellent dishes.

However, Zheng Ke decided to put this matter aside for the time being. Now his primary goal is to learn superb knife skills from Xuan Li's hands. As for the other things, it is not so urgent.

After this month passed, Zheng Ke focused all his attention on the autumn competition.

Zheng Ke thinks so, and at the same time does so.

After eating 10% of the experience fruits, although there is a certain effect, it can only last for three days.After three days, the effect of the practice declined a bit, but the speed of improvement still surprised Xuan Li. In her impression, few people can make such rapid progress.

In just a few days, Zheng Ke has found some knacks of knife skills. Although the cut radish slices are still some distance away from being as thin as a cicada's wings, the thickness is already considerable.

Half a month later, Zheng Ke killed hundreds of catties of radishes, and then Xuan Li taught the Ji Hua Dao.

The Jihua knife itself has the meaning of engraving. It uses the technique of cutting and slicing to make deep and impenetrable notches on the ingredients. After cooking, the ingredients will automatically curl up.A typical example is when squid is cooked, patterns are usually carved on the squid.

In addition to the appearance, another important function is to shorten the ripening time and balance the heat penetration, so that the heat inside and outside of the ingredients is consistent.

Different ingredients also require different knife methods, such as straight knife for thicker ingredients, oblique knife for thinner ingredients, and mixed knife.

As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the practice is up to the individual.After Xuan Li told Zheng Ke the method of Ji Hua Dao, the rest is Zheng Ke's own business.

After getting in touch with the Ji Hua Knife, Zheng Ke understood Xuan Li's intention to let him cut the radish for half a month. Whether it is straight, oblique or mixed, they are all based on straight knife, flat knife and oblique knife.

However, this knife method has stricter requirements on the ingredients, because it requires the raw materials to be relatively thick and have a certain planar structure, so that the raw materials will not be loose and broken.Therefore, fish, meat pieces, or animal offal are generally selected as raw materials, and cucumbers or lettuce are also used.

From economic considerations, Zheng Ke mainly chooses tofu, cucumber and squid.But even so, a lot of money still slipped away from Zheng Ke's hands like running water.

A month passed quickly, and under Xuan Li's guidance, Zheng Ke's knife skills have made great progress.In terms of knife skills alone, he may have surpassed Yishihui and the others.

After entering August, the date of the autumn trials is getting closer.Zheng Ke also decided to return to Yuanyue Academy to prepare for the qualifiers for the autumn selection competition that will start in early September.

"It's heartless to go back to school so early." Xuan Li snorted dissatisfiedly, "I taught you so much, and ran away as soon as I learned it. Can't I be exploited for another month or two?"

"Sister Xuanli, in a month or two, the autumn trials will be over..." Zheng Ke said with a wry smile.

When Xuanli heard Zheng Ke mention the autumn selection competition, he knew its importance and stopped insisting, "You kid, you actually used the autumn selection competition as a shield. Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you. If you don't win the championship, , please don’t come here again.”

"Eh? Sister Xuanli, isn't it too difficult to win the championship?" Zheng Ke said with a surprised look on his face.

"Is it difficult?" Xuan Li shook her finger with disdain on her face, "I can only say that this is a very low requirement, right? If you want to qualify for next year's top ten, the champion must be a must. "

"Senior, have you won the championship?"

"Me?" Xuanli's face suddenly became very embarrassed, and he said through gritted teeth, "No, we had a big BT that year, and in the finals of the autumn trials, he crushed Mizuhara Fuyumi-senpai. After graduating from Totsuki Academy, he flew to France, and I heard that he won the Prosper Medal a few years ago."

Zheng Ke always felt that senior sister Xuanli had an inexplicable hatred for this senior.As for what the Prosper Medal is, he has no concept in his mind.

He listened to what Xuan Li said.

"If there are no bastards who are too BT in this year's students, you'd better win the championship. As far as I know, the most powerful first-year student should be Isshiki Hui? If you win him, your hope of winning the championship It will be much bigger."

Haha... It's obvious that Xuanli doesn't know the existence of Ningning, the Kingdom of Ji.

This idea just appeared in Zheng Ke's mind, and Xuanli added: "By the way, I heard that there is a girl in the first grade who is particularly good at molecular cuisine. You need to pay attention to it. However, although molecular cuisine can increase the variety and variety of cuisine, The flavor subverts people's imagination, but it can never replace traditional cuisine.

"So that girl may enter the quarter-finals, but I think it will be difficult for her to go too far. After all, the judges after the quarter-finals are all masters in the culinary world. Have they ever eaten anything? New ideas alone cannot go too far. "

Regarding Xuan Li's evaluation of Ji Zhiguo Ningning, Zheng Ke dared not communicate.He has personally tasted the cuisine of Ning Ning of the Kingdom of Ji, and there is no doubt that her strength is at the top of the first graders.Moreover, she also won the food halberd with Kuga Teruji.

Although Kuga Teruki suffered a bit from the theme, Ji Zhiguo Ningning is not a member of the Dessert Research Association, and his research on desserts is also very limited, and the starting point of the two is almost the same.

In short, Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning's strength is definitely very strong. If Jiuga Teruji and her have a food halberd, unless the theme is Sichuan cuisine, the possibility of Jiuga Teruji's defeat is still very high.

Seeing Xuan Li's expectant eyes, Zheng Ke didn't know how to refute her. He could only promise Xuan Li that he would do his best to win the autumn selection competition.

"Sister, what kind of competition is that? Can we go and see it? It's good to cheer for Wei Shushu." Xuan Hua pulled Xuan Li's clothes and asked softly.

"Then we have to wait until he enters the top eight? But it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Xuan Li said softly, looking at Zheng Ke's gradually receding figure.
