Chapter 1262

On the other side, the burden Yang Ming carried was equally heavy.

If Hata Zhongying wins, he will probably become his biggest opponent in the future, so Yang Ming cannot lose this game. If he loses this time, then there will be no hope for Totsuki Academy, and Nagi Kiri Thistle's conspiracy will undoubtedly succeed. .

"The title of this competition... I remember it was beef." Itachi Uchiha sat on the chair, leaning forward slightly.

Since the Middle Ages of the long Western civilization, pork and mutton have been the mainstream meat for common people. Beef is a high-end meat for princes and nobles. It is a luxury product that is only supplied on special occasions to show the nobility of the owner. identity.

In ancient China, it was illegal to kill cattle and eat beef without permission, so in the ancient novel notes, there were very few descriptions of eating beef. Even if there was, it was only mentioned in a few strokes. A novel that often describes eating beef is "Water Margin", which talks about rebellion and fearing nothing.

"This... what kind of meat did Chiba Riko take out?" Uchiha Itachi heard the two examiners next to him talking quietly.

"I don't know. It doesn't seem to be Kobe beef?"

As one of the most famous beef in the world, Kobe beef is also a specialty of Japan. It often appears at banquets for Japanese state guests. Its fragrant but not greasy texture and melt-in-the-mouth texture are high-end products that Japanese people are proud of. Ingredients, so when it comes to beef-themed shokuji, almost everyone thought that the two would choose Kobe beef to compete.

Although the beef that Riko Chiba brought out was tender, rich in flavor, and had obvious marble patterns, anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that it was not Kobe beef.

"What kind of beef is this...?" Yukihira Soma also murmured. After getting to know Meimei, he also learned a lot about the varieties of beef. The beef Chiba Riko took out did not seem to belong to Japanese Wagyu. Variety.

"This...this is..." Yang Ming's mouth opened slightly.

"Yang Ming, do you know?"

"Yeah." Yang Ming nodded.

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi also sneered at the two examiners next to him, but when he thought that he represented the image of Hokage Konoha, he restrained his joking smile and said with a very serious look: "That's Nanyang Ox."

"Nanyang cattle?" The two examiners who were originally discussing whether it was Matsusaka cattle or Mishima cattle turned their heads at the same time when they heard this unexpected answer.

"Nanyang cattle are one of the five largest cattle in China. The ones he chooses should be optimized purebred Nanyang cattle." Facing two pairs of doubtful eyes, Uchiha Itachi talked eloquently. After following Yang Ming for so long, In addition, he had been working at Shokugeki no Soul for a long time, and with the characteristics of the Sharingan, he learned a lot of knowledge. Even the staff standing next to him couldn't help but come over to listen, "The history of raising this kind of cattle can probably be It dates back to the Qin Dynasty more than two thousand years ago."

More than two thousand years... Although Japan can be regarded as one of the ancient countries, Nanyang Yellow Niu has a longer history than Japan.

"The highest-grade Nanyang cattle are raised by alternating ryegrass, royal bamboo grass, and alfalfa. They listen to music and take a walk every day to relax, and are given professional massages to relieve the acidic substances in the beef. And every day they have The daily exercise time must be arranged according to the weight, age, and physical condition of each cow." At this point, Uchiha Itachi felt a little itchy. He used to deliver food and was so busy every day that his back ached. , speaking of which, such a beast had a better life than him?

However, they chose Chinese yellow beef instead of Japan's local Wagyu beef... Uchiha Itachi's eyes darkened, probably because of the toughness of the yellow beef.

"Hey...it seems like the guy over there didn't choose Kobe beef either..."

Uchiha Itachi turned his head and happened to see the beef that Yang Ming took out. The skin part was completely white. At first glance, it was not beef originating from Japan.

"It's Charlotte beef." Uchiha Itachi, who had traveled to a restaurant in Paris, naturally recognized it at a glance. It was the same name as Japan's Kobe beef, Italy's quinine beef, and Australia's Black Angus beef. French Beef Charoise.

The origin area of ​​Charolais beef is the Lorraine Meuse River region in northeastern France, adjacent to Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. It is dominated by rivers and hills and has a mild climate, suitable for the growth of various crops. It is France's largest cotton, Timber producing areas.

The abundant crops provide a good and stable breeding environment. Charori cattle have been improved by the French people, and the ratio of fat to muscle has been almost perfect.

"It's really interesting... Two chefs who are famous in Japan did not choose Japanese Wagyu beef." Japanese Wagyu beef is known as the best quality purebred beef, but in fact, for different beef dishes, different beef They all show different characteristics. Blindly choosing top-quality Kobe beef can only show the shallowness and ignorance of the chef.

The selected parts are also very interesting. The size of the beef that Chiba Riko took out does not look like a whole piece of beef tendon, well, it should be the middle piece of beef tendon.

This reminded her of Yang Ming in the past. He was also like this. He only used the best parts of the ingredients. Even to make watermelon juice, he only needed the seedless center of the watermelon... Oh, as for the remaining watermelon, Of course he ate it all...

Yang Ming chose beef neck meat that is both fat and lean, with dry meat. If this part of beef is used for cooking, it is more suitable for making stuffings or stewing soup.

"I wonder what kind of dishes these two people will cook." Lazily leaning back on the chair behind him, Uchiha Itachi watched the cooking skills of the two best contestants with a relaxed expression.

At this time, they were processing the ingredients.

"Yang... Yang Mingjun doesn't need water to cut onions?" Seeing the movements of Yang Ming's hands, the audience on the stage started talking.

Cut onion cells will release something called alliinase, which can convert organic molecules into irritating gases, so almost everyone will choose to soak the onions in water for a few minutes first, or directly soak them in water. Chop onions inside.

This approach often loses part of the flavor of onions. However, onions are originally used as side dishes and ingredients. Many people don’t care if part of the flavor is lost. But for Yang Ming, who pursues perfection in everything, it is undoubtedly an unforgivable sin. .
