A pleasant humming sound came from within the black robe, making Tadokoro Megumi involuntarily look up and curiously observe her opponent.
The figure beneath the black robe was not completely obscured; the robe was long and narrow, allowing outsiders to only see a general outline. However, due to her close proximity, she could see her opponent's face.
Short, ear-length hair, sharp features, looking very beautiful, with a dark red birthmark on her face like a sunset glow. Her loose black robe could not conceal her proud figure.
At this moment, Chen Xia seemed to be in a good mood, perhaps thinking her opponent was easy to deal with, or perhaps she was very skilled at handling ingredients like rabbit meat. In short, she looked very relaxed.
Because she didn't know her, Tadokoro Megumi didn't actively go up to converse. Although her opponent was very relaxed, she still exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.
She saw her turn her knife, the blade swiftly moving across the rabbit, separating the meat from the skin. Then she took out a black chef's toolbox, from which she pulled out a tool resembling tweezers, supplemented by a small chef's knife. She used a rope to hang the rabbit vertically and quickly deboned it.
What kind of dish was this going to be?
Many spectators on site had this question in their minds. Hanging the rabbit vertically, exposing its internal organs to the audience, and quickly deboning it without damaging the meat.
It must be said that Chen Xia's technique was exceptionally skillful. One by one, bones with strands of meat were peeled from the rabbit's body, and these detached bones were placed by Chen Xia onto an iron tray.
Soon, all the rabbit bones were removed, and the iron tray now held a complete skeletal rabbit.
If a zoologist were here, they would surely find that the dissection technique of this skeletal rabbit was extremely advanced, having extracted every inch of bone from the rabbit's body without any damage, reaching a textbook level!
"Amazing!"
"She actually deboned an entire rabbit, not even missing the bones in its paws, and the muscles still look so intact!"
The audience members were all prominent figures in the culinary world. Having lived for so many years, they had seen many talented chefs, but they had never seen a chef who could process rabbit meat to such an extent!
"Beep beep beep~"
"Hmph hmph hmph~"
After finishing with the rabbit, Chen Xia began to tinker at the cutting board, humming an unknown tune. It had to be said that the skinned rabbit looked very scary, and some timid girls in the audience even covered their eyes in fear.
"Phew, I need to work hard too."
Looking at Chen Xia continuously adding well-known ingredients to the rabbit's body, Tadokoro Megumi's eyes showed a hint of determination. Next to her was a flamethrower, which she used to process ingredients.
On the adjacent cutting board were also some vegetables and seasonings.
On the other side, Hoshino Sora looked at the completely peeled lobster meat in front of him, and he already had the answer in his heart.
To make a dish with lobster, to be honest, is very simple, because lobster itself tastes very good, and a simple cooking can make it delicious. This is also why it is considered a high-end ingredient.
However, this also leads to not many cooking methods for lobster. Because of the expensive ingredients, many people choose sashimi, raw marinating, or simply steaming and dipping in sauce.
Slightly more complex methods include lobster in supreme broth, French lobster bisque, or Boston lobster rolls.
What Hoshino Sora was going to make this time was very simple: Hoshino Style · Kung Pao Shrimp Balls. This was also the dish he made when he first made his mark in the Autumn Elections.
Of course, after this period of learning, he naturally couldn't be as naive as he was back then. If he brought out the dish he presented at the Autumn Elections, he would undoubtedly lose this competition.
So this was Hoshino Style · Kung Pao Shrimp Balls 2.0, improved upon the foundation of the Autumn Elections!
"What is Hoshino-kun going to do? Besides lobster, he also prepared so many black tiger prawns."
Looking at Hoshino Sora quickly peeling shrimp shells, Alice Nakiri couldn't help but feel a little confused, leaning forward slightly. Did he think the lobster meat wasn't enough, so he added fresh shrimp to increase the quantity?
"I don't know. Besides shrimp, there's also pork fat."
"Water chestnuts…" Shiina Mahiru looked puzzled. She also saw water chestnuts on Hoshino Sora's cutting board.
Compared to other audience members who had to divide their attention among four people, Hoshino Sora's wives were almost all watching him, at most occasionally sparing some energy to keep an eye on Yumeko Jabami, who was his opponent.
And under the watchful eyes of many, Hoshino Sora's every move was clearly captured, and then they quietly discussed among themselves, apparently unable to figure out what dish he was going to make.
In contrast, Yumeko Jabami was much easier to guess. She quickly minced the lobster meat, supplemented with ordinary shrimp and a series of seasonings. One could guess that she was going to make a dish with lobster meat as the filling.
And to make this type of dish, the dough is undoubtedly the key of keys. Only good dough can prevent the filling from leaking out, otherwise, during the cooking process, a slight oversight can lead to a failed dish.
