Krypton Life System

This is the basic standard for judging a good dough, but how to knead a good dough first is good flour, which is a must.

However, everyone here uses flour exchanged from outside stores, there is no difference in quality, and everyone starts from the same.

"If everything is ready, I will announce the start of the assessment!"

After the judge gave such an order, several contestants in front of the cooking table all moved.

Everyone's speed is faster and slower, but the steps are almost the same.

Tear off the flour bag, and then pour the appropriate flour into the large bowl of kneading.

Liu Han was no exception. After he poured the flour into the big pot without haste, he made a groove in the flour, and then slowly poured water into it.

Do not add too much water at one time, you can only pour the water into it slowly and stir slowly with chopsticks.

When the water is absorbed by the flour, knead the noodles repeatedly with your hands to make the flour into many small pieces. The small flour at this time is called "snowflake noodles".

This is also the safest way to get along.

In this way, the flour will not drip all over the place because it is too late to absorb, and it will not stick to the hands and pots full of batter.

......

Chapter [-]: Passing the preliminaries

The kneading is also very particular, it seems to be a small process, but there are many things that need to be paid attention to.

It looks like a very simple preliminaries test, but if you don't have solid basic skills, you can't pass it at all.

Liu Han naturally didn't dare to be careless. I saw that he used a steady and steady method, pouring water into the grooves of the flour little by little, stirring constantly with chopsticks and completing the "snowflake noodles".

Then he turned to "Snowflake Noodle" again

Sprinkle water on it and stir it with your hands to make it into lumps of small noodles, because the flour has not absorbed enough water at this time, and the hardness is large, you can squeeze the dough into pieces, and wipe off the batter that sticks on the basin or panel.

Then dip your hands in some water to wash off the flour on your hands and sprinkle them on it, then you can use your hands to knead these...... small noodles into a smooth surface fungus.

So far, this method of mixing noodles is called the "three-step method of adding water"

, It can make the whole dough kneading process clean and neat, to achieve "dough light, basin light, hand light"

Effect.

This is also the method used by many pastry chefs, and it is also the most used method.

Now Liu Han won't pretend to be forced, what he uses is... this kind of steady and steady method.

The skill of blending and the accumulated experience in the dungeon world are quickly displayed here.

Because he is the youngest in this group, he gets the attention of others.

One of the biggest judges in his grade, who was probably in his 60s, saw Liu Han nodded slightly, and seemed to appreciate Liu Han, a pastry chef who used steady, steady, traditional techniques.

However, the crowd soon burst into exclamations.

"Quick... Look at it, that young man... His way of making faces is really amazing!"

"I know him, isn't he the famous 'ramen master' in Asahikawa, Tousuke Megishima?"

Tofusuke Megishima finally bloomed, and he was called an "abnormal" in the crowd

Shocked by the face-to-face method.

He did not use the more secure "three-step method of adding water" like Liu Han and others.

, but very confident to add enough water at one time.

This is enough to show that he has a very good grasp of the proportion of flour and water, which is an experience that can only be obtained by a master who has been in touch with the dough for a long time.

However, it wasn't just these that surprised people.... I saw that after he added enough water at one time, his hands began to move in the basin.

That kind of regular and rhythmic rotation, in a blink of an eye, the flour in the bowl gradually merged into a ball.

The flour seems to flow in the direction of the fingers, flowing in the basin with gorgeous skills that have never been seen before.

In the crowd, there was a sound of exclamation again, and several guys who also wore headscarves like Megijima did not let out an excited roar.

"It's amazing, it's worthy of being the young master of us!"

"Don't be in charge, come on, this time you must be the champion!"

At this time, the three 3 judges sitting on the judging table couldn't help but admire them.

One of them was wearing glasses, with eight characters and eight characters, looking at Megishima and said, "This is a genuine facial technique, it's different from anyone else!"

"That's right."

Another middle-aged man in a pastry chef's uniform also said: "His four fingers and thumbs are intertwined with each other to stir the flour. The flour dances gracefully with the stirring of the thumb and the basin, without a single pause. The remaining four fingers knead the flour one by one according to the rhythm, nurturing and growing. This slender and skilled technique allows each grain of flour to be fully fused with water, from granular to bean-sized. .....flour, being kneaded one by one into a whole individual.

'Gather up', 'knead the stall', and so on..."

"Well... um, there are many talents in reserve. It seems that we old guys should abdicate and become wise. I am looking forward to... tomorrow's official game!"

So says the oldest judge.

Liu Han also looked at Numu Island for a while before turning around. He couldn't help but sigh again: It is indeed the third seat of the top ten, and the pastry skills are really nothing to say... However, Liu Han will not be frightened by Megishima's momentum, after all, this is just a simple preliminaries.

Over time, many people have completed their own face.

Afterwards, the three 3 judges had been sitting in front of the judge table, and then they got up one after another and began to check everyone's faces.

It has to be said that it is not ordinary people who can serve as judges for this kind of competition.

Among them, the old man is still the "Pastry Cooking Association"

A member of , but also an elder-level figure.

Akiyama Hong is the name of this old man, of course he can sit in the "Pastry Cooking Association"

The guy in the elder position is naturally not easy.

The other two judges are also experts in pastry. The mustache with glasses is called Endo An, the owner of a food show, and he is also proficient in pastry.

The last person to be served by a pastry chef is also recognized as a "pastry master" in Hokkaido

- Ningji Hirakawa.

None of the three 3 reviewers has a fuel-efficient lamp, and this review is naturally very strict.

No, only 2 of the five have been eliminated.

"The gloss of the dough is not enough...and the skill is not at home, you go back and sharpen it for a few years.

And your dough, are you sure it's flour and not stone"

Ningji Hirakawa reviewed the dough made by the two of them one by one.

Soon he came to Liu Han, glanced at him, then at the dough, and said, "Yes, the glossiness of the light ball is perfect, you can do this at your age. , it is very good.”

"Thanks for the compliment!"

After that, Ningji Hirakawa squeezed the dough with his hands again, and finally nodded: "The softness of the dough is very suitable, very good that you passed! Tomorrow morning at 9:[-] sharp, remember to be on time for the official competition."

Liu Han nodded, and he passed the preliminaries that had no difficulty in the first place... It can't be said that there is no difficulty, it can only be said that it happened to be Liu Han's best field, after all, in the dungeon Those few days of hard work were not... in vain.

After Liu Han, the person who was highly praised by Ningji Hirakawa was Tousuke Megishima, but when facing the praise of others, Megishima's face still did not change.

After passing the preliminaries, Liu Han, Sakaki Ryoko, and the three of them also returned to the hotel, just waiting for the official game to start tomorrow morning.

The only thing that worries Liu Han is the theme of this competition.

If you can't draw that... theme, then you can only win the championship if you take out the rare ingredients in your backpack.

But that's something Liu Han doesn't want to do. After all, this kind of open competition is still going on. If you come up with such weird ingredients, you will definitely be "checked the water meter".

Chapter [-]: Preparation

That night, that is, the day the game started, in the early morning... After 12 o'clock, it was Monday, which was the time when the dungeon was refreshed.

In order to make adequate preparations, Liu Han clicked on "Two Stars 2 Normal" that passed last time.

Replica, "Catch the Puffer Whale"

This mission, and then began preparations for a "sweep"

The copy he passed last time he has "sweeped" so far

Once, apart from......the most treasured ingredient in this dungeon, the puffer whale, some of the good ingredients encountered in this dungeon have never appeared.

For example, Devil Orochi, Butterfly Bat, Crispy Mushroom, etc...

Obviously, if these ingredients can be obtained, then there will be more choices in today's competition. Of course, the special ingredient of puffer whale, he will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary, and some other ingredients are not particularly amazing. , it can be used secretly.

Then, Liu Han began to carry out the sweeping function of the copy, and began to "capture the puffer whale"

This dungeon quest does a sweep.

In the first sweep, apart from the basic lifespan, money, and reward points, no ingredients were dropped.

This made Liu Han secretly depressed. After his European use was exhausted, he carried out a second sweep, but this time, the ingredients were finally dropped.

[Successful sweep, get a basic lifespan reward of 30 days, get 200 system points, 120 money, and get the ingredient 'Butterfly Bat'.

】Butterfly bat is one of Liu Han's favorite ingredients. Not only can its own meat be eaten, but its wings are... natural spices after being crushed. It is a unique existence in this world.

Then Liu Han carried out a third sweep, and it turned out that his luck in Europe was still there:, and another ingredient "crisp mushrooms" appeared in the third sweep.

Crispy mushrooms are the same as the butterfly bats just now. Compared with the glowing ingredients like puffer whales, this ingredient is much more low-key... Even if you take a closer look in front of it, you can't see anything special. You can only feel their deliciousness after eating them.

Therefore, compared to the special ingredients such as puffer whales, butterfly bats and crispy mushrooms are more suitable for use in the "Pastry Cooking Competition"

In such a crowded game, even if it is used on the spot, it will not arouse suspicion from others.

After the successful dungeon sweep, Liu Han decided to make some preparations after thinking about it... He directly took out the butterfly bat, which was the ingredient he had just swept away, and then only took its wings. It is crushed in the house to make a simple "butterfly bat spice"

Although nothing was added, the crushed butterfly bat wings exudes a unique spice flavor.

Liu Han carefully put it into a bottle specially used for spices.

As for the meat of the butterfly bat, it is useless to hold it now, and return to the trash can.

After all, the main ingredient of the butterfly is... the spice made from its wings.

After all these preparations were made, Liu Han finally slept in at ease.

After having breakfast in the hotel, the car headed for the location of today's game.

The game started at 9, and Liu Han and the other three came to the "Asahikawa Grand Plaza" where the game was played.
