Sword Raiders II

Under the light, the exquisite cage painted with roasted sugar is slightly radiant, and it sways gently as people walk around. The unhurried posture reminds many people of the time of the night tour festival.

During the summer night festival, men and women in bathrobes walked down the street laughingly, and when they looked up, the sky was full of stars.

In addition to the scenes of playfulness and joy in memory, there are also delicious food with various aromas on the sacrifice stand.

"Here, these lantern desserts...!" When the three lanterns were sent to the judges one by one, the judges who were still intoxicated by the strong aftertaste of the Rubik's Cube cake were suddenly stimulated by the aroma of the newly delivered pastries.

The aroma is not very strong, but a comfortable sweet aroma, with a touch of nostalgia.

When the camera gave a big close-up of the three lanterns in the jury, the people in the audience were also in an uproar.

Three "lanterns", three sugar paintings, each painted a different scene, which are plum, pine, and bamboo. The small mouth of the bowl is convenient for adults to take snacks, and the small animal decorations also made of sugar painting stand on the rim of the bowl.Among them, there are magpies on the plum cage, a gazebo on the pine cage, and a panda lying on the bamboo cage.

The small but exquisite decoration on the mouth of the bowl adds a bit of artistic conception to the famous Suihan Three Friends.

"As expected of everyone who created national treasures and famous paintings, three sugar paintings are amazing."

"This is beyond the scope of cooking, is it a work of art?"

Although Sakurada's Rubik's Cube cake was so exquisite that many people were reluctant to eat it, but when they compared it with the sugar-painted lanterns in front of them, they lost that sense of surprise.

"Master Xinggong completely knelt down to the details. It only took two hours... No, I don't remember that it was an hour. The three sugar paintings were completed in one go. Only when I saw the zoomed-in close-up did I realize that there are so many details."

"Is this the cooking master? The skills are terrible."

The applause from the audience came one after another, while the eyes of the three judges who were closest to the cooking at this time were staring at the sugar-painted lanterns on their respective plates without blinking.

When the things were placed in front of them, they discovered the details in the belly of the lantern—to be precise, some of the small snacks stuffed in the cage were also crystal clear, so they made the fake lantern use the light above the head to create a real lantern. It has a transparent visual effect in the haze.

In appearance, a complete fiasco.

James Sakurada, who was standing far away to the side, confirmed that he had lost in this competition at the first sight of the finished product. His face was tense and his fists were slightly clenched, but he did not admit defeat completely.

It's okay, the core thing in cooking competition is taste after all.He finally developed the 27-flavor Rubik's Cube Cake of "the same color and soup" by studying some of the dishes that Xinggong Yuli had revealed to the outside world.After all, Xinggong Yuli is an orthodox chef who pays attention to big banquets. It is absolutely impossible for his research on non-main course desserts to compare with a professional pastry chef like him. He still has a chance to win!

"The dim sum inside can be eaten with a fork, or you can take it out directly with your hands, and then wipe it with a handkerchief or paper towel to clean it. You don't need to wash your hands to clean it thoroughly."

While Sakurada was secretly doing psychological training for himself, Yu Li in front of the judging table saw that the three judges had been sitting still, just staring at all the details in the lantern, and couldn't help but reminded with a smile.

The three judges, who had been completely focused on admiring the sugar painting snacks, remembered that they were still in the process of judging food halberds. When they coincidentally showed embarrassment, they saw that the other two companions did the same, and their mentality quickly stabilized.

"Master Xinggong, your works really make me unable to finish my mouth." The female judge in the middle was the first to speak. If the expression on her face when she faced the Rubik's Cube cake was that she was expecting surprises, this time she faced Sugar Painting The lantern is frowning, "Can I take it home without eating it? It hurts my heart to eat any of it!"

Although the two judges next to him didn't speak, the expressions on their faces showed this meaning more or less.

But saying that you are reluctant to eat and just want to take it away can only be said after all. As a food judge, it is impossible not to taste the food.

The female judge picked up the small fork sadly, and very reluctantly went to get those delicate snacks through the mouth of the lantern bowl, but she stopped suddenly when she was about to pick it up, and looked up at Yu Li: "Xing Gong Master, do you pay attention to how to eat this dessert? For example, the order of the dessert?"

These words made James Sakurada's face stiffen with the naked eye, but Yu Li couldn't help but smile deeper.

"No." She shook her head. "Dessert is meant to make people relax and happy. It is usually the last dish at the end of a banquet. You can choose whichever you want to eat first."

After getting the approval letter, the judges began to taste without hesitation.

The dim sum in the lantern bowl is very rich, because of the visual effect, the first thing they pay attention to is the dim sum that can transmit light.

"This is... horseshoe cake? So it can be made so transparent?"

"Is this Shuixinxuan Cake?"

"Is this ice zongzi?"

There are also transparent fruit jelly, Turkish delight, fruit hantian... These transparent snacks are all filled on the periphery of the lantern bowl, and the center is filled with opaque snacks such as mung bean cake, lily cake, and fruit.

"They're all traditional desserts..." the judges sighed softly, and then directly put a bite of dessert they selected into their mouths.

The moment the teeth bit through the skin of the dim sum, the sweet taste filled the entire mouth like a storm. The moment the three judges lowered their eyes and widened their eyes, it was no longer the crowded moon and sky, but the place where they had never been before. The scene of the past festival.

Yes, there are festivals where demons and gods walk everywhere. Which ordinary humans have been there?

They were terrified at first, but when a powerful demon walking beside them blankly led them to visit the festival, two cute Zashiki dolls who looked like Ichimatsu dolls came and ran forward holding their hands. After the shining god gave them a friendly smile, they unconsciously relaxed and began to stroll around the festival happily.

The sacrificial stalls selling the masks of King Yanma, and the stalls selling all kinds of snacks including sugar paintings, apple candies, etc. The strange shopkeepers and pedestrians walked in this festival, as if they were ordinary people in the world. It is the same as the usual festival, except for the wrong species, there is no difference.

The most amazing thing is that no matter how ferocious demons or gods they encounter here, they will always show friendly and kind words and deeds after seeing them.

——As if, they have a super physique that can get along well with anyone.

When the festival was held and they danced a collective festival dance under the playing of taiko drums and shamisen, everything in front of them suddenly disappeared, and the consciousness of the three was pulled back to the space between the moon and the sky.

And in front of their eyes was the sugar-painted lanterns that had been emptied.

Yes, all the snacks are gone, only the "bowl" is left.

"Liar! I ate it all!?" The female judge was the first to cover her mouth in disbelief and yelled, but she quickly remembered her memory of eating after recovering from the artistic conception of cooking.

When she took the first bite of the snack, she still remembered the dining fork, but when she put the second bite of the snack into her mouth, the texture of the new snack in her mouth collided with the aftertaste of the first snack Together, an even more delicious palate experience is formed.

So when she was eating the third piece of snack, she immediately discarded the small fork and directly picked up one of them and put it in her mouth...

Everything after that was out of control, both she and the other two judges kept throwing snacks into their mouths one after another, unable to stop at all.

The aftertaste of those different types of desserts are superimposed one after another, forming a delicious storm that they can't refuse at all. The instinct of gourmets makes them wonder how far this peak taste that is pushing higher and higher can climb. He kept eating without stopping, until he finally ate up everything in the lantern bowl and was forced to end it.

The gourmets who were invited by Yuanyue to judge an international dessert champion and even a master chef could not be mediocre people. They understood what happened almost instantly after recollecting it.

It's just that the more they understand, the shock on their faces can't be contained at all.

"He...he soup!" Someone stared at the empty lantern in front of them.

"It's still disorderly soup!" The female judge covered her mouth tightly and didn't let go of her hand, her eyes were full of horror, "That is to say, no matter which dim sum we choose to eat first, how can we eat it in random order? Dim sum can produce the effect of soup!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, and the entire Yuetian was boiling.

"Although the dim sum in the three lanterns of plum, pine and bamboo is the same, the order in which the three judges took and tasted the dim sum is completely different. Did the result produce the same soup effect?"

"Master Xinggong put at least fifteen kinds of dim sum in the lantern, right? It contains at least eighty kinds of ingredients and seasonings, right? Unexpectedly... all of them have achieved disorder and soup?"

In the past, everyone only knew that Master Xinggong was very good at cooking. In the public class she took in Yuanyue, both the knife skills and the heat were at the top level in the industry, and those small cooking skills that were inadvertently displayed made many people amazed-but other It's not that the culinary masters who are at the same level as her have unique skills that are equal to hers.

Later, she used a [Reincarnation Banquet] to make other culinary masters bow their heads to admit her status as the uncrowned chef. Although everyone would not question the decisions of those masters, they were still a little confused in private.

But now, through this dessert meal, they understand.

This is the youngest and only female cooking master in Dongying Kingdom. She not only has superb cooking skills and methods, but also because of her terrifying talent.

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated." The party just smiled slightly, "If it's a traditional banquet, I can't do it for the time being, but if it's just desserts, it's still a good idea to do it without too many restrictions. Pretty easy."

In the arena, James Sakurada, who had been a little lucky before, was pale and crumbling.

And soup is a skill that can only be mastered by experienced cooks. It is different from other cooking methods. It is more like an alternative cooking recipe. The human mouth has so many changes in the feeling of ingredients. For example, when you eat cucumbers It is a kind of taste, and eating tomato is also a kind of taste. Chewing tomato and cucumber together is also a kind of taste. If you cook cucumber and tomato a little bit before eating, it will have a different taste.More than a plurality of ingredients will have different taste sensations when eaten without cooking, let alone after supplemented with different cooking methods?

Because of this, every cook has a different way of cooking Japanese soup, and even the accumulation process has a huge gap. Sakurada is very confident in the "same color Japanese soup" that he consulted and collected from the family behind him, and finally studied it himself. It came out, and after it was produced, it directly surprised everyone in the parents' generation.

But the person in front of me...

From the appearance of Discord and Tang, he knew that his last chance of winning was gone.

He looked over in a daze, but the girl who was still standing in front of the judging table smiled and urged the judges, reached out and ordered the lantern candy painting that they hadn't eaten at the end: "It's not over yet, after eating this, the cooking mood of this dessert is just perfect." it `s complete."

Under the instinct of food sense, the judges at this time were no longer reluctant at the beginning, and they all tacitly broke off the small decorations on the mouth of the lantern bowl and put them in their mouths.

Now, the strange festival that disappeared not long ago reappeared in front of their eyes. They still danced with the ghosts and gods to the rhythm of Taiko. A huge bunch of fireworks jumped into the sky and exploded brilliantly.

The fire trees and silver flowers in the night sky are like colorful stars that are fleeting.

The three judges who were completely satisfied became quiet instead, and one of them said at this moment: "Thank you, Master Xinggong, for leading us to see such a wonderful food experience."

"The physique that can get along well with any creature... so it is such a thing." Someone sighed, "Disorder and soup... so it is such a feeling, so wonderful that I will never forget it. I am afraid that I will never forget it in this life." It’s hard to find desserts that can beat sugar-painted lanterns.”

The last judge also nodded in agreement, but he had another question: "Disorder and Soup...It also means that the cooker needs to accumulate terrifying food experience and countless cooking experiments. At the beginning, I was not honored to participate At that [Reincarnation Banquet], I still don’t understand why Marshal Nakiri, the current God of Cooking, insisted on saying that this title should belong to you, and none of the other masters objected, now, I understand.”

There is no doubt that the final result of Shiji is [3:0].

Rubik's Cube Cake VS Sugar Painting Lantern, in fact, is a classic versus a classic, but both parties have added their own style of re-creation to the classic dessert, and both of them have used the cooking technique.

The fairy tale world presented by the former is certainly wonderful and delightful, but compared with the magical festival of dancing with gods and ghosts in the latter, the feeling of shocking the soul is not at the same level at all.That is, the firmness and meticulousness of the cooking concept constructed are not at the same level.

Even if the former is a first-class pastry chef specializing in desserts, it is far from the latter who has accumulated terrifying accumulation and can be recognized as a future chef.

Sakurada James suffered a disastrous defeat in all directions.

The "Baishan Yoshimitsu", which has been placed between the moon and the sky and guarded by security guards, is handed over to the winner by the defeated person in accordance with the Shiji agreement.

"Master Xinggong, I lost this time, and I am convinced." Sakurada didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it. When he handed over the ancient sword with both hands, he was still a little unwilling. As a result, I couldn't help but continued, "But Lord Xinggong, I may ask, how long did it take you to conceive that dessert just now?"

After Yu Li received the sword, he turned his head and handed it to the candle holder behind him for safekeeping. When he heard Sakurada's question, he turned around in a daze: "How long did it take? Didn't the theme of the cooking come out randomly by the computer two hours ago?"

The colorful stars are of course the best match for the splendid festival fireworks in her memory, and when it comes to desserts, she naturally recalls the sugar paintings she made for her companions on the night of the Obon Festival.At that time, the two knives at home and the two zashiki boys in hell were holding three-dimensional sugar paintings in the shape of flower baskets, and she was deeply impressed by the happy smiles.

So naturally, the sugar painting lanterns came out during the two hours of eating halberds.

"Stars...it's easy to think of summer nights, what can better reflect the colorful feeling than festivals?" She laughed when she said this, "Don't look at me like this, in fact, the number of times I have participated in summer festivals is not There are not many, so every game I have been to is well remembered in my mind.”

The pure tone of Yuli's reply made Sakurada's already pale face turn miserable in an instant.

Naturally it's easy...

easy...

Chewing these words repeatedly, the tiny flame in Sakurada's eyes that wanted to regroup and fight again was completely extinguished, replaced by an uncontrollable trembling all over his body.

The level difference is too great, in all aspects!

He has exhausted his brains and desperate calculations, and carefully brewed a must-kill dish, which is not as good as an impromptu dish made by others.

This is... God of Cooking?

Sakurada suddenly recalled the news that several cooking masters in the country admitted publicly or tacitly that the position of chef god should be Yuri Xinggong. The commander-in-chief became the next God of Cooking, and he didn't realize another thing until this moment.

——As one of the top five chefs in China, is it true that everyone is willing to admit that they are not as good as others?

Even if the two people on Yuanyue's side were willing to carry the sedan chair for Xinggong, would the other two people who had nothing to do with Yuanyue or even be competitors be willing?

They temporarily shrunk their light not to be courteous to the younger generation, but because the strength and talent displayed by this younger generation were indeed beyond their ability to compete, so they pretended to save face like this!

It turned out that in the end, he wasn't even counted as an appetizer on the dinner table, but just a dessert he bought along the way.

From the beginning to the end, this person was aloof, looking down at his previous series of self-righteousness all the time!

Thinking of this, Sakurada couldn't help taking a step back, when his movement attracted the other's gaze, he couldn't bear it anymore and turned around abruptly, and ran away.

He doesn't want to stay here, he just wants to escape from this place, and never meet the person across from him again!

"His heart of martial arts... oh, it's his heart of cooking skills that was broken by the lord." Candlestick cut from behind commented casually while looking at the fleeing figure, "I'm afraid it will be very difficult to rebuild confidence in the future."

But Yu Li withdrew his gaze indifferently: "It's self-inflicted. Since it is a scheming initiative to activate the food halberd, it is only natural to pay the price."

Food halberd is a battle between two chefs in the kitchen, just like the two opposing sides fighting each other on the battlefield, who will show mercy to each other?What's more, Sakurada wanted to take advantage of her to become famous by stepping on her, so she couldn't blame her if she was abused instead of being trampled on.

"With this experience, stupid things like today won't always fall into my hands."

Yu Li's tone was cold and serious, this kind of inadvertent domineering and arrogance made Candlestick stare intently.

His lord has grown so much that he wants to look up to him.

"Master Xinggong—"

At this moment, a group of people from the auditorium hurried towards the ring.

It was the old and new ten outstanding people. Seeing her turn around and look over, those young people looked excited.

"You are really amazing! It's already afternoon after the game, you should be hungry too, let's go eat together!"
