Chapter 54 Battle of Shoji!

Chapter 54 Battle of Shoji!

Luo Mu looked around. The seat he was sitting in now was the judging table. In addition to Miss Afeng, there was also Miss Joy from the Pokémon Center in Bottle City. They were all invited by Haidai to taste the new dishes.

I heard that Haidai was going to compete in cooking skills with chefs from other regions who traveled to the Padya region. Many diners chose to stay in the restaurant after finishing their meals to see the winner.

Luo Mu's eyes turned to Zhimi, who was carefully preparing the food on the cooking table. He was wiping the kitchen utensils with a clean cloth that were so clean that they easily reflected the light.

Compared with the chef Zhimi, Luo Mu's impression is that Zhimi plays another role - Zhimi, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Carlos region and the water king.

The most impressive achievement of this King of Zhimi that impressed Luo Mu was that he commanded the Mega-evolved Blastoise to defeat Ai Lan's Mega Charizard X, which had not yet developed the "water storage" feature.

It was simply a blast. Ahem, it showed the power of the Four Heavenly Kings.

It seemed that they were ready. Under the announcement of one of Haidai's apprentices, the two chefs began to handle the ingredients as if they were showing off their skills.

No, it would be better to say that the fast speed of chopping vegetables and dissecting ingredients is their normal behavior when making dishes.

After a dazzling process and inexplicable exclamations from all around, two refreshing aromas gradually spread in the restaurant, and the two chefs completed their dishes.

Luo Mu, who felt like he was in jail, felt that he had gone to the wrong set of Halberd Eater and was out of tune with the fiery atmosphere around him.

The mosquito-repellent tadpole on Luo Mu's leg was quite enjoyable to see. It even came up with the idea of ​​who was more powerful between the Cangyan Blade Ghost's barbecue cooking skills and the two chefs.

Then, the two chefs, who were very confident in their own dishes, served their dishes one after another.

To Luo Mu's left hand was the food plate served by Zhimi. It was covered with a small silver lid, and the aroma that had just been "jumped" seemed to be sealed inside.

On the right hand side is a small stew pot brought by Hai Dai. The refreshing aroma is constantly seeping from the gap in the pot lid, making people look forward to the delicious food in the stew pot before starting the meal.

Based on the ingredients the two of them handled before, Luo Mu could roughly guess the type of their dishes.

Kaidai must have made some kind of soup with those dreamy wakame and seabass, while Shimi processed several vegetables so that it was hard to tell what he was making.

After the two chefs looked at each other, Haidai took away the pot lid first, and a fish soup with a clear soup base and a sweet and delicious aroma came into view.

Haidai smiled and said: "Wakame seabass soup using the freshest ingredients, please use it."

Luo Mu picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of clear soup, blew the heat away, then drank it in one gulp, his eyes glazed over.

The various flavors that burst out on the taste buds were wonderfully and harmoniously intertwined, and finally turned into a big character that occupied Luo Mu's mind.

fresh!

The freshness of the ingredients themselves, as well as the ultimate umami taste brought about by Haidai’s processing of ingredients and superb techniques!

Luo Mu turned his head and looked at the other two judges. Afeng and Miss Joy both covered their cheeks and swallowed slightly, as if they were overwhelmed by the extreme sweetness.

Zhimi also picked up his own portion of the soup and tasted it carefully. His eyes lit up and he blurted out in praise: "Bravo!"

Afterwards, Zhimi took off his own silver lid and saluted gracefully: "Jiuzhen vegetable French jelly with special sauce, please use it."

Luo Mu blinked, feeling like he had seen this dish somewhere before.

However, this is another taste on the track.

Nine different kinds of vegetables are neatly arranged in the vegetable jelly. The ones Luo Mu knows include cabbage, cucumber, corn, zucchini, cauliflower, carrot, okra, asparagus and so on.

It looks very exquisite, and the presentation is like that in a high-end restaurant, giving it an expensive look.

However, Luo Mu was a little curious about the sauce next to the vegetable jelly. Such a pure black sauce is not so much sauce as it is ink?

Zhimi prepared special tableware for French cuisine. When Luo Mu cut off a piece of vegetable jelly and was about to put it into his mouth, Zhimi suddenly said: "It will taste even more delicious after dipping it in the sauce."

Luo Mu's movements were stagnant, and the hand holding the delicate knife and fork followed Zhimi's reminder, dipping it in the dark-looking sauce before putting it in his mouth.

The first bite is filled with the fragrance and crispness of the vegetables, and then the flavor of the mysterious sauce explodes together with the flavors of the nine kinds of vegetables.

The taste is complex and profound, and cannot be simply described as sweet or spicy. However, only one feeling is accurate - after taking the first bite, you still want to take a second bite.

While Luo Mu was eating, Haidai also took the portion Zhimi prepared for him and began to taste it.

Similarly, he also exclaimed in admiration like Zhimi: "What a complex and rich taste and taste, it can be so harmoniously blended together!"

The two of them looked at each other, and both saw the sympathy between cooks in each other's eyes.

"Well, now it's time for evaluation."

Although Zhimi and Haidai have recognized each other's strength, since they have invited judges, it is still necessary to decide the winner.

The first is Miss Joy on the far right. After she pondered for a while, she solemnly said: "I swear on the reputation of the Joy family, what I say next will not contain a trace of falsehood."

No, just to comment on a delicious food, you have to swear by the reputation of your family?

Luo Mu's facial muscles twitched crazily.

Joey said: "Although the Jiuzhen vegetable jelly with the mysterious sauce is very rich in flavor, I still think the umami flavor brought by the simple wakame seabass soup is more shocking to the soul."

Haidai smiled even more, but Zhimi was not annoyed at all, and just bowed slightly to thank Joey for his comment.

The two of them turned their attention to Afeng again.

Afeng was a little nervous. After giving Hai Dai a guilty look, he hesitated and said: "I think the vegetable French jelly is more amazing to me. Although the vegetable jelly itself has a light taste, adding the sauce makes it feel like a transformation." It’s the same. The above is my judgment.”

There was a lot of discussion from the audience on the side: "Didn't Miss Afeng actually stand up for Master?"

Hearing this, Afeng's expression became even more nervous.

Haidai smiled and patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay, you just honestly expressed your feelings."

Zhimi saluted gracefully: "I am honored to receive such high praise from you, beautiful lady."

The center of attention soon turned to Luo Mu. He looked at each other with the mosquito-repellent tadpole who had tasted the food together, and expressed his thoughts: "I think it's hard to tell the winner."

Haidai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"

"Can you tell me in detail?" Zhimi asked calmly.
