Star Food Tycoon

On the endless lake, two mechas were holding fishing rods and parked on the lake in the air, like two old men sitting still fishing.

Suddenly, the fishing rod in the hand of one of the red mechas suddenly trembled violently, and then the red mecha raised its arm, and a big silver fish flew out of the water.

The other white mecha immediately shook the fishing rod in its hand, and the fishing rod turned into a fishing net, heading towards the big silver fish.

The big silver fish suddenly flashed a blue light in the air, and an electric light hit the fishing net in the white mech's hand.

However, the fishing net in the hands of the white mech was specially made, and the electric light only drew a white mark on the fishing net rod.The big silver fish fell into the net obediently, and then the red mecha immediately put away the fishing rod, moved out a large fish tank, and covered the big silver fish in it.

The big silver fish, which was struggling violently, seemed to have calmed down a lot after diving into the water from the fishing net.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two mechas immediately flew towards the center of the venue.

The mechas arrived at the venue very quickly, and when the two mecha pilots jumped off the rack, the audience erupted into cheers.

The host excitedly said: "Master Xia Zheng and Admiral Xuan are indeed the most popular husband and wife partners in the entire alliance, no, in the entire Star Alliance. Every time they appear, they will set off a big climax in the venue."

"Now the food conference has entered the second round of the competition. The ingredients master Xia Zheng caught are blue electric whitebait. As we all know, although blue electric whitebait is delicious, it is a very troublesome ingredient. Whether it is from the capture or the processing of the ingredients, It is very troublesome." "If you don't use the mech to fish, the electric shock is enough to kill you."

Xia Zheng at this time is no longer the young man who looked so immature back then.Having just passed his [-]th birthday, he has officially entered the ranks of young people recognized by the league.

Because of his tender face, the marks left by the years on Xia Zheng's body are not heavy, only his demeanor, as well as the halo and glory accumulated over the years, make him look more mature.

Walking beside him, the man who was curiously looking at the silly blue electric silver fish who thought he had returned to the lake was his partner Xuan Jing.In peacetime, the youngest general in league history.

It is also recognized as "the luckiest general".

Just because he had bound the most legendary gourmet master in the history of the alliance as his fiancé before Xia Zheng became famous, and he had experienced all kinds of bloody incidents, and he could still make Master Xia never leave him, The successful marriage of the two really makes people have to envy "lucky".

Of course, this kind of "slander" Xuan Jing did not admit.In fact, he was the one who pursued Xia Zheng, but the outside world somehow always rumored that he was a scumbag for Xia Zheng.

This is probably the jealousy of the rival?

Anyway, the relationship between him and Xia Zheng is good, and everyone who knows it knows what's going on. Others are sour and slandering, as long as they don't get it out to provoke his relationship with Xia Zheng, he won't bother Nevermind.

Compared with Xia Zheng's tender face, Xuan Jing looked much more mature.Probably because of his long-term military career, he has a more chill and calm air, which makes people hold their breath when they see this.

But as soon as this man opened his mouth in front of Xia Zheng, the image of the tough guy turned into an image of a soldier: "This is the blue electric silver fish? I've seen it on the dining table. So it's so stupid? How can it be difficult to catch?"

Xia Zheng couldn't help but give him a blank look.

They put a lot of effort into the selection of bait, the selection of fishing tools, and the selection of the fish tank and the environmental induction device in the fish tank.In order to catch a suitable blue electric silverfish in the formation of the competition field.

And before that, they had let go of the blue electric silverfish that Xia Zheng didn't like for several days.

It's not easy at all, is it?

Xia Zheng knew that Xuan Jing was tired of catching it, and now he was just trying to be arrogant, so it was rare to argue with him, so he returned to his cooking table and began to prepare to deal with this blue electric whitebait.

Not only are electric bluebait difficult to catch, they are also extremely difficult to handle.

Blue electric whitebait tastes extremely delicious, steamed is the best.

But steaming is not just steaming with water. A good chef will use various ingredients and seasonings that will not suppress the umami of the blue electric whitebait, so that the umami taste of the blue electric whitebait can be maximized, and let it There is a sense of layering in the faint umami.

The choice of each ingredient is a test of the chef's skills.

The same steamed whitebait, different chefs, make different tastes.

The taste is one of them. Another point is that the blue electric whitebait is extremely aggressive. One click is enough to electrocute an adult.Mechs can be used while capturing.But when handling fish, it is impossible for chefs to drive mechs or wear protective clothing.

However, about 2 minutes after the blue electric whitebait is completely dead, the fish bones, scales, internal organs, etc. on the body will emit a rancid liquid, which instantly pollutes the fish and turns into an unpleasant smell, which makes the fish completely unbearable. Entrance.

Therefore, the blue electric whitebait can only be completely killed in the water, and within 2 minutes, complete a complete set of work of removing the scales, bones and internal organs, which can be described as a race against time.

What makes the chef even more difficult is that the secret of the umami taste of blue electric whitebait lies in the layer of fat under the scales and skin.If the fish scales are not removed, the fish meat will deteriorate immediately. If the fish scales are removed with excessive force, it will destroy the thin layer of skin of the blue electric silver fish and let the fat flow out.The deliciousness of the blue electric whitebait also lost most of it.

The chefs tried every means to reduce the difficulty of cooking blue electric whitebait.For example, let the blue electric whitebait paralyze the whole body to gain time to process the ingredients; chill the blue electric whitebait and then process the ingredients, etc.

But the blue electric silverfish has a strong stress response, as long as it is not completely dead, it is difficult to paralyze it.Even without consciousness, when the body is destroyed, a strong electric current will be released.

As for chilled, it's not good either.The fish skin after chilling is too fragile, as long as the fish scales are handled, the fish skin will be destroyed.In any subsequent cooking process, the fat layer of blue electric whitebait will be destroyed.

Later, in order to allow more people to eat the delicacy of blue electric whitebait, gourmet masters used technological means to separate and isolate the various parts of blue electric whitebait with molecular technology, and when cooking, they made the best wishes.

In this way, about 80.00% of the umami taste of blue electric whitebait can be guaranteed.For ordinary people, it is already jaw-droppingly delicious.

But for gourmet masters, what they want is not 80.00%, or even [-]%, but [-]%, [-]%.

If you only need to eat the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves, it is better to eat them fresh and raw.Food is like a gem, and a gourmet master is like a jeweler.They don't become masters by polishing gemstones to their original brilliance.Instead, let all kinds of bright gemstones be carved and matched in their hands to form a work of art that is more dazzling than the original brilliance.

To sublimate the deliciousness of the blue electric whitebait, one hand can clean the blue electric whitebait in 2 minutes or so. The most basic skill is good knife work.

Xia Zheng manipulated the equipment and clicked on the brain of the blue electric silver fish, and the blue electric silver fish was killed instantly.He immediately fished out the blue electric silver fish, and lined up more than a dozen different knives shining with cold light on the knife holder.Xia Zheng pulled out a knife, moving the knife like flying in his hand, his wrist vibrated slightly, and the tip of the knife was almost like afterimages on the big screen of the live broadcast.

The fish scales were picked out row by row. While everyone was still rubbing their eyes to see Xia Zheng's movements clearly, Xia Zheng had already turned the fish to remove the scales from the other side.

When the scales on both sides have been processed, the time has not yet reached 30 seconds.

Xia Zheng changed a knife, and cut obliquely into the back of the fish—this one is very delicate, and must be aimed at the gap in the fish skin on the back.Then Xia Zheng changed to a smaller knife, inserted it from the cut, and made a few oblique cuts from the inside. Then he spread the fish through the cut, and with a lift, the complete fish bone was separated from the fish meat.

At this time, it was only 50 seconds.

Then Xia Zheng changed two small sharp knives, one in each of his left and right hands, and bowed left and right, quickly picking out the thin thorns inside the spread fish.

This process takes the most time.When it was done, it was nearly a minute and a half.

When Xia Zheng lifted the fish that had been processed and looked very complete, and put it into the carefully prepared and temperature-controlled liquid, not just water, to wash away the blood and water residues all over his body, the scene sounded again as if to overthrow the venue applause and cheers.

The host excitedly said: "I'm really, really nervous! I was so nervous that I even forgot the explanation, and I didn't even dare to catch my breath. Just now someone timed the time from when the blue electric whitebait came out of the water to when it was processed. Minutes and 27 seconds! Only one minute and 27 seconds! For Master Xia Zheng, handling the blue electric silver fish is completely easy! This is the master! This is the basic skill of the master!"

The gourmet master from Ximeng who competed with Xia Zheng this time looked a little helpless.

Xia Zheng has just turned [-] years old, and he is already a stable top five contestant in the food competition.This ranking is due to his honing his own culinary skills, traveling and taking risks, and not participating in many food conferences.

The gastronomy conference is held every three years, and the lifespan of alliance members is very long. Even if it is stipulated that only food masters under the age of [-] can participate in the food competition, the life span of food masters is also very long.Therefore, for the famous gourmet masters, it is not necessary to participate in every food conference.

This year's food conference, the top-ranked food masters seem to have made an appointment, and they all spared time to come to the competition.

This food conference, announced by the media and acknowledged by the Food Association, is a competition for gourmet masters to compete for the real ranking of the new generation of gourmet masters.

It is a competition to compete for a new generation of gourmet kings.

Xia Zheng is one of the most eye-catching favorites to win the championship.

Because he is the youngest among the candidates for the championship and the most legendary in the past, he is recognized as the leader of the new generation of gourmet masters.

Xia Zheng opened a new era of food explosion in the history of the league.

Under the light of his bright full moon, the night sky is full of tenacious bright stars shining their own brilliance from the light of the full moon.

This is an era when demon talents and several geniuses coexist.

The gourmet master who fought against Xia Zheng this time is ranked No. 80 and nine.Looking at the entire league, he is also a very respectable gourmet master.

But compared with Xia Zheng, like the twilight of a firefly and the bright brilliance of a bright moon, they don't even have the heart to compete.

With this basic skill alone, the blue electric silver fish can be handled 100% well, and the number of people in the entire alliance does not exceed 50.

Xia Zheng was able to process the blue electric whitebait within one and a half minutes, which means that he has not only been able to process this ingredient 100%, but has even challenged himself many times.

With only this basic skill, he lost.

But even if the winner is already known, both sides will give their best. This is the dignity of a gourmet master and respect for each other.

After Xia Zheng washed the blue electric whitebait, he began to carefully smear the seasoning he had prepared.

The seasoning is just like pure salt grains, it looks like pure white fine crystals, once it is rubbed on the fish, it will melt away.

But everyone knows that it's definitely not just salt.

The water used to wash the fish just now, and the seasoning that is like salt, are the secrets of Xia Zheng's dish to enhance the umami.

It is unimaginably difficult to elevate the blue electric whitebait, which has the ultimate umami taste, to a new level.

"I don't know if you still remember that decades ago, Master Xia Zheng solved a problem of umami ingredients when he just got the fifth-level chef qualification. Now sea rice has become one of the most popular ingredients for gourmet masters "The host sighed, "Since then, Master Xia Zheng has unearthed ingredients that have an effect on spiritual power for the alliance, as high as four figures. He has contributed countless new recipes. Although he has just passed a hundred years old, his achievements and contributions , no less than any senior gourmet master."

The audience at the scene was fine, and the audience watching the live broadcast by the screen had already been swiped by Xia Zheng's various contributions.

Every time I watch it, the audience is amazed.

Then he was jealous of Xuan Jing once.

Mingming Xuanjing, as the youngest general, far exceeds Xia Zheng in terms of power.

But in the alliance where people depend on food, Xia Zheng's popularity and respect far surpasses Xuan Jing's.

What's more, Xia Zheng is also a mech warrior, a hero of the alliance who has been on the battlefield and has made remarkable achievements in battle.In the war decades ago, he won the highest military medal.

Xia Zheng, who was originally a logistics force in the rear, led the wounded and logistics personnel in the base when the logistics base was attacked, and resolutely drove the mecha into the enemy's formation.Relying on the performance of the mecha and his superb driving skills, he slaughtered nearly half of the local mechas by himself.

When the reinforcements finally got rid of the enemy's obstacles and came for reinforcements, the biggest counterattack in this place, and the surprise attack that may have the most serious consequences, had already ended the battle under Xia Zheng's heroic leadership.

Originally, the alliance's dispatch of troops this time has gone through a well-thought-out preparation in the early stage, which pushed the hostile star field to the extreme.As far as the alliance is concerned, their joint army is going to reap the fruits of victory. They never expected that when they were about to win, they were beaten so dazed.

Afterwards, all relevant personnel were dealt with, and Xuan Jing and members of the Xia family, who were transferred away from the same theater as Xia Zheng, almost resorted to military punishment due to anger.

Because this "war" was very easy, basically the army was defeated when it reached the opponent.So in terms of the number of enemies he killed and the meaning of victory, Xia Zheng actually ranked first.

The military forces of various star regions have expressed... their faces are dull.Master Xia Zheng, do you really plan to "abandon the light and turn to the dark" and join the great ranks of mech warriors?

The crowd complained one after another, you all know that you are "abandoning the light and turning to the dark", so what are you talking about?Gourmet masters are much rarer than mech warriors, right?

Therefore, it is conceivable that Xia Zheng has a higher degree of mythology than Xuan Jing in the hearts of the alliance and even the people of other star regions.

When Xia Zheng brought out the steamed fish, compared to the dazzling special effects of the side dishes in the eyes of spiritual power users, this plate of steamed fish was like ordinary steamed fish that can be seen everywhere, except for a little bit of water vapor, nothing could be seen .

But everyone did not take this lightly.

Xia Zheng once said, "Treasures are self-deprecating".

Facts have proved that when the top ten gourmet masters make their own recognized delicacies, their delicacies will not have such dazzling special effects.

However, when the food enters...

The judges had already shown a happy expression on the barbecue of another gourmet master who ate first.

And when they ate Xia Zheng's steamed fish, their expressions turned blank.

Commonly known as, has ascended to heaven.

They seem to have come to fairyland or heaven. The blue electric silverfish have become fairies or angels, with feather coats on their bodies or small wings fluttering behind their backs... Uh, this is really an illusion that takes into account the cultural differences between China and the West. Even the silverfish The musical instruments in the hands of fairies/angels are also different.

Accompanied by angels or fairies, they lie up and down on the clouds, where flowers and trees are like brocades, and the spring water is ding-dong and the wind is blowing.

I'm no longer in this world, don't bother me with ordinary things...

The host took a long while before he said, "Every time you compete for a place in the food commentary conference, it is a fierce competition. And every time you explain the food conference, it is even more tragic when you see the expressions of the judges. Experience. Audience, do you feel the same?"

The audience took a sip of their saliva, grabbed the food they bought around them and stuffed it into their mouths.

Yes, let’s pretend that what we eat is the steamed blue electric whitebait cooked by Master Xia Zheng.Watching this live broadcast, I can gain ten catties!

Xuan Jing couldn't help but nudged Xia Zheng with his elbow, and said, "I want to eat too."

Xia Zheng said helplessly: "Didn't you say you were tired of eating when I was practicing?"

Xuan Jing said: "But seeing how delicious others' food is, I want to eat it again."

This conversation was accidentally caught on camera.

Even the host on the screen had a blank expression for a second, and the barrage paused for a second.

Then, there is overwhelming envy, jealousy and hatred.

Therefore, it is really his own fault that General Hei Xuan is the general of the public.

In this match, there was no doubt that Xia Zheng won.

The loser was not depressed, but walked up to Xia Zheng happily, shook hands with him, asked him to sign, and chatted for a long time, expressing his admiration for Xia Zheng.

It turns out that this one is Xia Zheng's brainless fan...

The winner enters the next round of competition, and the loser can also participate in the knockout round without necessarily losing the next round of competition.

Xia Zheng couldn't help clenching his fists, and finally entered this moment. Will he be able to reach the top in this food conference?

Just when Xia Zheng was excited, the sky suddenly sounded an alarm.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Jing hurriedly grabbed the security guard next to him and asked.

Before the security personnel answered, the big screen in the venue had already started broadcasting.

"According to the test report just now, the rock strata near the venue suddenly ruptured, and the volcano is about to erupt. According to predictions, this rock stratum change will form a new volcanic belt. Please evacuate in turn. It is estimated that there are still two days before the volcanic eruption. Evacuate the food star There is plenty of time, so please don’t panic.”

When Xia Zheng read the above words for the third time, he looked at Xuanjing with a confused face: "Isn't this an April Fool's joke?"

Xuan Jing also had a blank expression on his face: "...it shouldn't be?"

The determined Xia Zheng finally couldn't help being wronged: "Why? The first time I participated in a food conference, I encountered a terrorist attack, and the first time I was preparing to climb to the top, I encountered a sudden change in the earth's crust. For me, the two meanings are the most important. All the gourmet conferences were aborted?"

Xuan Jing: "..."

He... he doesn't know why?Could it be that God saw that Xiaozheng climbed to the top too easily, so he purposely made a fuss?

Xuan Jing whispered his conjecture.Xia Zheng blinked, his eyes were red with grievance.

D!You unscrupulous God!

The author has something to say: the full text is over.

In the end, I will also cheat my protagonist.

Seeing Xia Zheng's baby crying out of grievance, I felt very happy.

La la la, please call me my mother.
