Chapter 636 Eight Treasures Navy
"Mom, what do you think?"
In a candy castle on Cake Island, Katakuri, who had just spoken, stopped and looked at Charlotte Lingling, who was constantly picking up assorted seafood fried rice.
Charlotte Lingling seemed to realize something, and took another two big mouthfuls, then stopped, and Katakuri spoke again: "It seems that this time the winner is self-evident."
Hearing this, Charlotte Lingling also nodded approvingly, and said: "Actually, the other young people have done well, but a chef who can't satisfy the diners will not be the best chef.
I like this young man. Whether it is the frozen food, barbecue, pasta, or the current rice, the weight and deliciousness have reached a balance. It depends on the final dessert. "
Katakuri glanced at the dozen or so normal-sized plates in front of Charlotte, as well as the one that was the size of an ordinary person's table, then nodded and said, "Well, then I will inform the next round of assessment. ?”
"Well, if Totland can have such a son-in-law, then he won't be hungry in the future, right?"
Katakuri nodded, picked up the form, ticked it lightly, and then said to Perospero beside him: "Brother, I'm sorry to trouble you, let them continue to the next round."
Perospero nodded, then turned and walked out of the castle with a very brisk smile on his face. After all, the tea party was just to make mother happy.
But this morning and noon, his mother was not very satisfied, which made him a little sad. Fortunately, a different chef appeared now.
Perospero made up his mind, even if in the end, no younger sister fell in love with this chef, he would hire him with a high salary to cook for his family.
After walking out of the castle, Perospero whispered a few words to a waiter, and then returned to the castle. The waiter quickly found the straw hats who were resting.
At this time, Sanji, who cooked four super-large portions of food in a row, did not feel tired, and even at this time he continued to use the remaining ingredients from the barbecue just now, and grilled meat for his partner and other chefs to taste.
There was an extremely sincere smile on his face, and he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming here, but was immersed in this occasion where countless young excellent chefs communicated.
In fact, it is not that Sanji has not participated in such culinary competitions since leaving Balati Restaurant, but the level of those competitions is a bit too low for a chef like him.
Either the ingredients and themes are limited, and you can't show your cooking skills well, or the opponent's level is not enough, it is difficult to inspire Sanji's heart as a chef.
But this Totland's King Chef Competition fully satisfied all the requirements and conditions of Sanji for the culinary competition.
Totland's strength and connections, as well as the appeal of the tea party, attracted almost all the outstanding young chefs from this sea to participate. At the same time, they also brought the best quality ingredients from their respective sea areas.
Sanji felt that his participation in the Chef King Competition this time was not only a process of competition, but the collision of ideas when competing with chefs from different sea areas was his greatest harvest.
In just one afternoon, he felt that he had benefited a lot. His personal menu was constantly adding items, and at the same time, he was constantly improving his original menu.
No matter what industry it is, it is impossible for a chef to work behind closed doors, especially in the chef industry. Whether it is an active self-preservation or lack of experience and knowledge, it will limit the development of a chef.
Only by keeping an open mind, constantly trying and learning new things, can a chef keep improving, and then satisfy more diners with tricky tastes.
Of course, idiots like Luffy and Chlorella are exceptions. Luffy thinks everything is delicious no matter what he eats, but Zoro doesn't talk about anything he eats. When asked about him, he will proudly say that wine is not as good as wine.
But Sanji lit a cigarette, and looked at Luffy and Zoro who were eating barbecue, as well as Nami, Robin, and others. These were his partners who supported him.
"Mr. Sanji!"
At last, when a chance to rest was ushered in, the maid ran over again, and Sanji put on a gentleman's smile in an instant, and asked, "Ma'am, is there anything I can do to help you?"
The maid nodded politely and said, "We can start making desserts, or do you want to take a rest?"
"Huh~"
Sanji took a deep breath and said, "There is no chef, so the diners will have to wait!"
After finishing speaking, he quickly returned to his open kitchen. Bebo, who was the kitchen helper, asked very sensiblely, "Sanji, do you want to weigh the flour for you?"
Bepo is the best cook that Sanji has ever experienced. He always seems to know what he is going to do next, what ingredients or kitchen utensils he needs, but this time.
Sanji shook his head and said, "No, I'm not going to use flour!"
Beipo asked suspiciously, "Don't you want to make cakes?"
Among countless desserts, cake is definitely the one with the highest fault tolerance rate, because most people will not reject the taste and texture of cake.
At the same time, cakes are easy to shape and make them look good. Coupled with people's inherent impression of cakes and their perception of the sweetness of sugar, people will naturally feel happy when they see cakes.
After the visual and psychological foreshadowing, the delicacy of the cake will naturally be upgraded by at least one level in the perception of diners.
The other chefs who participated in the Chef King Competition today also chose to use cakes in the final dessert selection.
Including Sanji, after understanding the five kinds of meals for the competition, he immediately started talking about the cakes he is good at.
Beipo thought that Sanji would choose to use a cake to compete, but now
Hearing Bepo's doubtful words, Sanji threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the sink, and after taking a sip of clear water, he smiled confidently and said, "Who says cake can't be made without flour?
The most important thing about desserts is not just sugar, but to make diners feel warm and hot! So this time. I'm going to make a fiery dessert! "
Hearing Sanji's words, Bepo was even more confused. He had never heard Leon talk about Sanji's philosophy. Leon's handling of desserts was also mainstream. At most, he added a little salty taste to stimulate the depth of desserts. tasty.
Sanji propped his hands on the countertop at this time, constantly looking at the ingredients prepared by Totland, and constantly perfecting that temporary idea in his heart.
There is more than one way to make a cake without flour, but the appearance is basically not very good. If it is covered with icing, it can be shaped like a normal cake, but it is boring.
Therefore, not only the cake, but also the coat needs to be ingenious. Soon, Sanji decided that it was a heavy cheesecake, and then covered with ginger milk!
And it can't be a simple heavy cheesecake. Most people can't eat much of that kind of cake, and they will feel full and greasy before they fully appreciate the beauty.
The power of cheese and milk cannot be reconciled with a little lemon juice, so something more exciting, such as chili and jam, is necessary.
Then add the unconventional dessert ginger and milk, which is already very greasy, and Sanji can already imagine the taste of an egg tart that is baked just right, but still tender inside.
As for the flavor, he needs to be mastered by the chef.
At this time, many chefs around also set their sights on Sanji. Just now, Sanji used barbecue to make them realize that he is an excellent chef.
And they also heard what Sanji just said, desserts that don’t need flour, they all wanted to see how Sanji would solve the problem, and under the watchful eyes of the people, Sanji said to Bepo:
"I want ginger, cranberries, milk, cream cheese, butter, eggs, lemon, take as much as you can."
After telling Beipo about the main ingredients, Sanji himself came to the condiment area, first of all, white sugar, vanilla pods, black and white chocolate, etc., which are not surprising to everyone.
But Sanji stood there thinking for a while, put the chocolate back, and then, in the confusion of countless people, picked up a dozen kinds of chili and chili powder, and ran back to his kitchen.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Just now Sanji asked Bepo to get ginger, they didn't quite understand it, and now they took a lot of peppers. Are they sure it's for dessert?
But Sanji ignored the bewildered gazes of the other chefs, and began to taste the chili powder and chili peppers he had brought. He blushed and coughed again and again after eating.
At this time, Beipo also took back the ingredients that Sanji needed. Sanji didn't care about his appearance, he quickly peeled a lemon, and chewed it with a ferocious face.
Then he drank some water, and the twist on his face finally eased. He took many empty bowls, and kept mixing chili powder, and then tasted it again. Finally, he chose one of the many combinations.
When the chili pepper with the highest uncertainty was determined, Sanji's speed suddenly accelerated, and he directly turned on the oven to preheat, and then peeled and cut the ginger and lemon into pieces, and squeezed the juice separately.
His speed was getting faster and faster, and in the small kitchen, he had the effect of the phantom clone technique, and Beipo, who was not instructed, also boiled boiling water spontaneously.
Although he didn't know what Sanji wanted to do, Beipo had worked as a helper in the Zanya detachment's kitchen for several years. Based on Sanji's ingredients, he could figure out what he should do.
With the help of Bepo, Sanji's movements were not blocked at all. He melted butter and cheese through water, and started to boil jam at the same time.
However, even at his speed, the cake was sent to the oven after an hour of busy work, while Jiang Bangmilk was faster and had already begun to refrigerate.
After taking a look at the situation in the oven, Sanji lit a cigarette for himself, and murmured, "I'm so tired, I won't do it in the future."
"Cough cough cough~"
Suddenly, the coughing sound behind him made Sanji turn around, and his face was speechless for a moment, because Luffy was actually cleaning up the ingredients.
Melted butter, cheese, boiled jam, and the rest of the milk all went into Luffy's stomach at this time, but this idiot even ate the chili powder, and at this time he was holding the island with a tearful cough with.
"Cough cough cough~"
At this time, there was also a coughing sound on the other side, and several blue veins appeared on Sanji's forehead. He looked over dissatisfied, but after just one glance, he was stunned.
A girl is also coughing with tears in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth are red, showing that she, like Luffy, stole Sanji's seasoning, but...how could Sanji be angry with this girl?
Throwing down the cigarette, he smoked his hands quickly, then quickly picked up a remaining lemon, peeled and sliced it, and put it on a plate. Then he walked in front of the girl with graceful steps, and said softly:
"Eat some lemon, it will be much better."
"Thank you, cough, cough~ I'm sorry. Thank you."
The girl's face turned red, and she didn't dare to look at Sanji, but quickly picked up two slices of lemon and put them in her mouth, then her little face wrinkled together due to sourness.
Although he could only see a little bit of the girl's expression at this time, Sanji still showed a smile, and then he was about to say something, but an extremely hoarse voice came from behind him.
"Sanji.San.Sanji"
Sanji looked back in dissatisfaction. At this time, his whole body was as red as a boiled lobster, his eyes were protruding, and he stretched out his arms. Luffy, who was like a ghost demanding his life, shouted: "Spicy! Spicy!"
"I want to eat chili, right! You idiot!"
Noticing that the girl ran away slowly while he was looking back, Sanji felt a nameless anger in his heart, looked at the remaining peppers on the table, put them in the same bowl in an instant, and then threw them into Luffy's big Zhang mouth.
"no!!!!"
The horrible spiciness made Luffy, the rubber man, feel severe pain. His eyes turned red quickly, and then he fell straight down, twitching constantly on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Zoro, Nami and the others were speechless and covered their foreheads, thinking about why they followed such a captain. Only Chopper was lying on the ground at this time, as if imitating Luffy.
After a long time, Luffy finally got up, his eyes were blank, his mouth was wide open, and the saliva kept flowing from the corner of his mouth, but it didn't matter anymore, because he couldn't feel anything anymore.
He already drank enough milk, but he couldn't get rid of the spicy food. He wanted to eat lemon with that girl like Sanji, but Sanji refused. According to Sanji, only an idiot would eat lemon and uncooked at the same time of milk.
At this time, Sanji had a melancholy expression on his face, he kept staring at the direction where the girl left just now, glanced at the oven from time to time, and even forgot to smoke the cigarette in his mouth.
After another glance at the extinguished oven, like a soulless machine, he took out the cake and stuffed it into the refrigerator to cool down.
"Bepo, I'll leave the rest to you."
Sanji, who had no motivation, made it to the side of Luffy who also lost his soul. Bepo nodded. Sanji had already told him about the rest of the finishing work, and it was not difficult.
The rock sugar is heated and melted in water, and then the ginger milk that is slightly stiff due to refrigeration is taken out, and then the ginger milk is carved just enough for the heavy cheesecake to be embedded in.
Then he checked the melted syrup and the heavy cheesecake whose outer shell had cooled slightly, unmoulded the cake, placed it on a pure white plate, covered it with ginger milk, and it almost melted into one color.
Take out the melted syrup, pour the syrup on some cold ginger milk, quickly cool down, and turn into a crystal clear shell. It doesn't look fancy on the outside, but it looks good.
At this time, from the outermost icing, to the middle ginger milk, to the center of the heavy cheesecake, the temperature has also been exchanged to a suitable temperature.
Showing Sanji a look at the finished product, after Sanji nodded meaninglessly, Bepo also put the huge plate on the dining car beside him.
The waiter carefully pushed the dining car towards the Candy Castle in the distance.
At this time, in the Totland waters, on two parallel warships, Ace kept comparing the two life papers with a strange expression, and beside him, Luo who was called over asked with a puzzled expression:
"What's wrong? Whose life paper is that? It looks like it's in the same place."
"It belongs to Luffy and Sabo."
Ace said, I don't know why, Luo heard a trace of sourness from Ace's tone, it seemed that the two brothers felt when they played together without telling him.
At this time, Luo also carefully looked at the life paper in Ace's hand, frowned, and said, "Is this pointing to the cake island? I heard that today is the first day of the tea party, and they are also going to join in the fun?"
"Tea party? What's that?"
Ace asked suspiciously, and Luo had a very strange expression on his face, and said, "The Charlotte family's wedding ceremony, it seems that Luffy and Sabo may be getting married."
"Nani?!!!"
Ace squeezed his face with his hands, looked at Luo in disbelief, and said, "Luo, are you joking? You must be joking, right? How old are they?
Also, what's the matter with marrying a pirate? ! no! Absolutely not! "
Luo looked at Ace's crazy appearance, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Sabo is a revolutionary army, and now the revolutionary army desperately needs the help of big forces, and marrying the Charlotte family may be a good way.
And Luffy. Isn't he recognized as a pirate by the world government? Isn't it normal for pirates to marry pirates? What's more, many of the Charlotte family are not wanted.
Therefore, they may not be married to pirates, maybe they are girls from the Charlotte family, and they want to marry the revolutionary army and pirates? "
"No! Anyway, it's not possible!"
Ace continued to shake his head, while Luo showed a smirk and said, "Then what are you going to do? Lieutenant General Skyler agreed that we would make a big fuss in the New World."
"But... my aunt said not to make too much noise in Totland."
Ace shook his head, but Luo didn't have any surprises. After all, he always thinks of advancing as retreating. If he just blocked Ace, then with his character, it might be counterproductive.
But if he followed his words, then he would have noticed the key to some things, that is, Luo, who had known Ace for many years, could make good use of this.
Just when Luo thought he was restraining Ace's "wonderful ideas", Yamato suddenly said, "Then we can go over and have a look first, and we don't have to go and do it."
"yes!"
Ace's eyes suddenly lit up. Whoever said that going to Totland is causing trouble, since it's a tea party, it's normal to have more guests.
Seeing this pair of abnormal chief and adjutant, Luo twitched his lips, then turned his thoughts and said, "But without an invitation letter, we can't get in."
"The invitation letter is indeed troublesome."
Touching his chin and thinking for a while, Ace looked at Luo and asked, "Who will receive the invitation letter?"
Luo thought about it, weighed whether to say it or not, and said: "Many, pirates, underground forces, and some chambers of commerce will receive invitation letters.
The pirates who have been traveling here in Totland recently should all have received invitations to the tea party, but even if they know who has an invitation, so what? "
"So what?" Ace grinned, then looked at Yamato, and said, "Find the nearest pirate to us, just don't belong to the Big Mom Pirates!"
"okay!"
Yamato left excitedly, Luo looked at Ace, twitched the corner of his eyes, and said, "Are you planning to rob?"
"Navy affairs, can that be called robbery? That's called. That's called executing justice! That's called taking stolen goods!"
Ace said with a righteous face, Luo rolled his eyes directly, feeling in his heart that Ace deserves to be a "talent" from that family.
However, Luo still said: "But don't forget, the Navy has never received an invitation letter, they must know about it, and... Invitation letters usually have an invitee, and we are not."
"What the hell! I have an invitation letter, if they still refuse to let me participate, then it's their problem!"
Ace didn't pay attention to so much, and said loudly with his hips on his hips. Looking at him like that, Luo suspected that Ace thought he had a good idea.
Luo sighed, and stopped talking about dissuasion. After all, if he continues to persuade, it will only strengthen Ace's determination to go to Cake Island to cause trouble.
What's more, Lieutenant General Skyler just said not to make too much trouble in Totland, but he didn't say that he couldn't make trouble in Totland, as long as he could limit the development of the situation a little when the time came.
Not long after, Yamato, who had just left, ran over again and said excitedly: "Ace, there is! Just about twenty nautical miles away from us, there is a fleet coming from the West Sea. It seems that there are several Made up of pirates."
Ace was about to speak, but Luo frowned and asked, "Xihai? Which pirates are they?"
"I don't know, I haven't learned about the pirates in the world, but there is one that looks familiar, like the Eight Treasures Navy of the Kingdom of Flowers?"
Yamato shook his head, and Luo frowned when he heard that it was the Eight Treasures Navy. This is a country that joined the World Government, and historical problems made the Eight Treasures Navy a legitimate pirate group.
However, the Eight Treasures Navy still has its particularity, and it cannot be
But before Luo could say anything, Ace said loudly: "Whoever he is! As long as it's a pirate, it's our goal! Let's go!"
"Yes, sir!"
