Shiji Starts from the Beginning of the Month

She also heard about Jiang Xia's plan to eat halberds with the current top ten heroes.

Although he felt that his brother should not lose, Mizuno Rin was still a little worried.

Moreover, the passers-by next to him obviously didn't believe that their brother would win, so they were very angry!

After a while, the little girl showed a sly look, as if she had thought of something funny!

"The market is open, the market is open, the new Huaxia Cuisine teacher is fighting against the current Shiji of the Top Ten, and now you can place your bets! Buy it and leave it, no refunds or exchanges!"

Mizuno Rin moved a table from nowhere, and opened the handicap at the scene of the food halberd competition.

This wave of operation is very beautiful.

"Master Erina, should we go over and stop her? Although the school doesn't have clear regulations, gambling should be banned!"

Fei Shazi suggested to Erina beside her that she now regards Mizuno Rin as a love rival in her heart!Anyone who has the means to hit his rivals should make good use of them!

"No, since there are no rules, let her go."

Erina said indifferently that even she wanted to take a gamble in person, but with so many people watching, it was really embarrassing.

Chapter 24 This is the best era

"I pressed Jiang Xia for 5 yen."

A voice sounded in front of Mizuno Rin.

Raising his head, Mizuno Rin directly rejected this wave of betting.

"Contestants cannot suppress themselves!"

That's right, Jiang Xia was the one who came to bet. Since there was an opportunity to make money, he would not miss it, but he didn't expect his sister to reject his bet.

"That's lucky Ping Chuang really pressed Jiang Xia for 5 yen!"

Jiang Xia pulled Chuangzhen beside him, handed over the money to him, and prepared to bet in the name of Xingping Chuangzhen.

"But, sir, my stinky old man said it's bad to gamble."

Xing Ping Chuangzhen was a little hesitant, after all, it was his father's words, so he still wanted to listen.

"Don't mention your dad, who smokes, drinks, gambles, he's gone for nothing!"

Jiang Xia complained to Xing Ping Chuangzhen angrily.

"Hey, the teacher knows my dad?"

Xing Ping Chuangzhen caught the loophole from Jiang Xia's mouth, it's strange, he obviously hadn't seen it before, how could the teacher know his father?

Jiang Xia didn't expect that she would slip up subconsciously.

It seems that we should pay more attention to what we say in the future.

"Of course, your dad doesn't know me. He used to be very famous. I knew it when I saw your cooking style!"

Although Jiang Xia's explanation was full of loopholes, Xing Ping Chuangzhen still believed it. After all, there was no other reason to explain it.

"Then teacher, can you tell me about my father's past?"

Xing Ping Chuangzhen looked at Jiang Xia expectantly. Ever since he knew that his father had gone to the country, he knew that this bastard father must have a lot of things to hide from him!

"There's a reason why your dad didn't tell you about these things. Let him tell you himself. I'm going to the competition!"

Jiang Xia ran away directly, leaving Xing Ping Chuangzhen where he was.

"Ah, why is this so, teacher?"

Jiang Xia stepped onto the stage for eating halberds.

The venue was quite luxuriously built, the spotlights were on the two opposite chef's tables, and the judging panel was in the middle.

"Look, the one in the jury is the commander-in-chief! This competition has actually attracted the attention of the commander-in-chief!"

"Of course, this is the confrontation between Shijie and the teacher. It may be the first time since Yuanyue established the school for so long!"

"This time, regardless of whether Senior Jiuwo Zhaoji wins or loses, it can be regarded as a precedent for Yuanyue."

Seeing the entrance of the head coach Nakiri Senzao, the students on the audience stage were obviously more emotional.

In the corner of the auditorium, two people were talking quietly.

"Although it's not surprising that this little wax gourd did this, but I didn't hear him mention it until yesterday. I'm afraid, you are the coward, right?"

"Oops, don't say it so bluntly, I just pushed it a little bit."

The person who answered was Isshiki Kei who was only wearing an apron.

As for the person he was talking to, the voice was a woman, but because her entire body was immersed in the darkness, she couldn't see her face clearly.

"I said! In such a public place, can you dress properly!"

Yishihui showed a troubled expression when he heard the words.

"Ah, this, but, but such a passionate scene, once people get excited, they can't help it."

The woman next to her twitched her tongue, and moved one space to the side quietly.

"Then, this time's halberd eating has officially begun."

The referee responsible for maintaining the process announces the rules to be followed by the food halberd.

"The main ingredient of this food halberd is tofu! Within the specified time, both parties need to make a dish with tofu, which will be judged by three judges. The one who gets the most approval in the end will win the food halberd. The bets of the two sides are respectively Yes......"

Wait until the referee has finally announced all the rules.

Kuga Teruki impatiently started his own cooking.

As Jiang Xia expected, Jiuwo Zhaoji really planned to make his famous mapo tofu!

Moving a stool, Jiang Xia sat directly in front of Kuga Teruki's cooking counter.

His cooking doesn't take too much time, so if you have a lot of free time, you can come and observe Kuga Teruki's cooking level.

Mapo tofu is a traditional dish in Sichuan cuisine.

This dish is numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, hot, emerald, tender, and crispy, fully displaying the spicy and spicy characteristics of Sichuan cuisine.

Moreover, it is very popular in the country of cherry blossoms.

In the well-known TV show "The Lonely Gourmet", the protagonist Goro went to a Sichuan restaurant at least twice to taste mapo tofu.

When it comes to mapo tofu, it is natural to tell the story behind this dish.

The version known to the general public is .

During the Tongzhi period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a widow named Chen Mapo who opened a small restaurant at the Chengdu Wharf.

This store is full of boatmen and carpenters who are busy with work and don't have much time to eat well.

Therefore, Chen Mapo used tofu and minced beef to research this Mapo tofu that can be eaten with rice and replenishes physical strength.

But, in fact, there is a more detailed version of this story that few people know.

Chen Mapo's real name is Chen Qiaoqiao.

At the age of 17, she married Chen Zhihao, the fourth shopkeeper of Shun Kee Timber Co., Ltd.

After the wedding, the young couple were very affectionate. Because of this, the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law spread some slanderous rumors intentionally or unintentionally when they were jealous.

After a long time, the mother-in-law who loved her very much, gradually changed from neglect to scolding.

Later, the fourth shopkeeper Chen Zhihao lost his life in an accident.

Since then, Chen Qiaoqiao's life has become even more miserable.

In desperation, she can only go out alone to open a shop to make ends meet.

In that feudal era, Chen Qiaoqiao's behavior, strictly speaking, was a shameful behavior that did not obey women's morals.

The second half of her life was full of oppression from her natal family and accusations from the ignorant public.

In the mouths of traditional chefs, the reason why this Mapo tofu is mixed with all kinds of flavors is that it represents that Mapo has tasted all the flavors of life in her life.

Among them, the spicy taste is prominent, which means that her heart is numb under the ravages of life.

So this dish is the epitome of a tragic woman's fate in that era.

Although Jiang Xia was a chef of Hunan cuisine in her previous life, she also learned other cuisines for a while.

He once asked the old man who taught him Sichuan cuisine if this story was true.

That's what the old man answered.

"You are stupid, of course you are making it up. If you don't tell a story, how can you trick those rich people into paying? You think they really come to eat the food. They know nothing, and they just spend money to listen to the story!"

What the old man said, Jiang Xia suddenly realized what life experience is, this is life experience!

It can only be said that in the previous life, cooks were forced to change the original appearance of this profession due to the social environment.

Deliberately fooling diners with gorgeous stories, thus ignoring the core taste.

Those Michelin stars, are there really delicious roadside food stalls?I'm afraid it's just the psychological comfort pursued by the paid masses!

In this life, cooking has finally been judged by taste. This is the best world for a cook!

Chapter 25

When he came back to his senses, Jiang Xia began to look at the process and actions of Kuga Teruki's cooking.

Jiuga Zhaoji skillfully threw out a knife and cut a whole piece of silken tofu into small pieces.

Then use a thin slice to hold the tofu and soak it in a pot of salt water that has been prepared.

"In this step, you need to pour the tofu with water before adding the salt water, otherwise the taste will be overpowering."

Jiang Xia knows that this is because the cooking habits of Sakura Country are different from those of China. The cuisine of Sakura Country is influenced by the West and pays attention to simple steps.

This is why Jiuga Zhaoji's Mapo Tofu has such a strong taste in the original description.

Jiuga Zhaoji's actions obviously paused, but he didn't stop, but continued the process quickly.

Put the peppercorns into the heated oil pan and stir-fry. Jiuga Zhaoji used a kind of local peppercorns in the country of cherry blossoms.

Jiang Xia sniffed it. The quality is not bad. It seems that there are still a lot of good ingredients in Sakura Country.
