Chapter 183: Crayfish [First Update]

You are the chef of that Great Xia?" A strong voice was processed by a translator and transmitted into Chen Wei's ears.

Seeing that he was dressed in white and wearing a high hat, Chen Wei was basically sure of the other party's identity, the royal chef.

Judging by his hostile gaze, he must have regarded himself as a competitor.

The iron rice bowl of the royal chef, I want to know how unwilling I am to be snatched away.

"It's me, what's the matter with you?" Chen Wei placed his mobile phone on the table to facilitate communication between the two.

What kind of black technology is this?

The chef was stunned.

"My name is Jeff Dririlee, and I'm the Royal Chef's Chief Chef. He introduced himself.

"So what?"

"I know what you're here for, but I want you to retreat, for I've been cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the Empress for twenty years, and no one knows her tastes better than I do. Jeff hugged his hairy hands, his head slightly raised, and said proudly.

"That's pretty impressive. Chen Wei coped and was intently watching the change in the temperature of the oil in the pot.

"......" Jeff waited for a moment, but he didn't wait for the answer he wanted to hear.

Stubborn!

"Since we are all chefs, let's compete with food, and if you lose, get out of the Gentleman's Empire!" Jeff put on his apron and was full of fighting spirit.

Seeing that he had already started to get busy, Chen Wei didn't bother to say anything, and put cinnamon, grass fruit, bay leaves, ginger, chili pepper and other accessories into the oil and stir-fried until fragrant.

"Ahem, ahem!" The smell was a bit spicy to Jeff, who obviously didn't often cook spicy food.

Chen Wei glanced at it, judging from the materials prepared by Jeff, he could be 100% sure that what Jeff planned to make was apple pie.

Bang!

Turning off the oven and turning the button to adjust the temperature and practice, Jeff's hands were quickly freed.

With a light snort in his mouth, he felt that Chen Wei's cooking speed was too slow, and he came before himself, but the result was not ready.

Is it appropriate to let Her Majesty wait hungry?

He came to the opposite side of the stove, wanting to explore Chen Wei's reality and reality.

What the!

His pupils dilated, looking at the red-colored ingredients in the vegetable bowl, Jeff raised his hand, frowned, and said, "You, why are you putting this kind of garbage on the table?"

In the gentleman's country, crayfish is an invasive alien species, because of its terrifying appearance, thick shell and other reasons are not easy to taste, it is not well received by chefs, so it is called garbage.

Only a very small number of poor people will buy this cheap ingredient, after all, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.

Coupled with the dirty living environment, it is inevitable that people will worry about safety.

Chen Wei also took this into account, and spent a lot of time finding a farmer to buy two catties of crayfish grown in clear water.

"In this world, there are no absolutely junk ingredients, only chefs who are not strong enough. Chen Wei expressed his opinion.

"It's the choice of this kind of junk ingredients, the future of this kind of chef, it's worrying. Jeff retorted.

"You and I are just the ones in charge, as for whether the food is delicious or not, let's leave it to the empress to evaluate. Chen Wei waved his hand and asked Jeff not to disturb him.

Bite!

It just so happened that Jeff's apple pie was already baked.

After he went to take out the baking pan Kung Fu.

Chen Wei poured the crayfish that had been fried in advance into the pot again, flipped it with the spices, then poured in the broth, covered it, and simmered to taste.

Because the shrimp brain is removed in advance, it does not take too long.

If you simmer for too long, it will aggravate the salty taste.

Serve on a plate, sprinkle with white sesame seeds, finely chopped shallots, and garnish with a few coriander leaves, and a plate of flavored shrimp is freshly baked.

Seeing the bright red, neatly arranged crayfish, Jeff licked his lips unconsciously.

Immediately, he shook his head violently, came to his senses, and muttered to himself: "It's not difficult to make the food look good, the most important thing is the taste!"

Before Chen Weiren arrived, the fragrance of shrimp was already rushing to his face, violently rushing into his nose and rushing straight to the top of his head, like a world boxer.

The gluttonous insect was awakened in an instant.

"Dreyri, why are you here?" Seeing that the first person to come out was Jeff, the Empress was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, I have made an appointment with him to have a food contest, and I am very sorry that I did not inform you in advance. ”

Remove the insulated cover and place the apple pie on the table.

Who made an appointment with you?

Chen Wei said speechlessly.

"Your Majesty, this is the taste of shrimp I made. ”

When Chen Wei put the crayfish on the table, the bright red lobster tail with green onions instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Goodo......"

Swallow saliva.

In contrast, the apple pie that is about to cool down is very inconspicuous.

"Please bring gloves before tasting. ”

Chen Wei patiently explained the method, he had already removed the shrimp line in advance, just peel off the shell, dip it in a little soup, and eat it.

"This is the wine I picked in the wine cellar to go best with this plate of shrimp. Chen Wei said, and at the same time poured the crystal clear liquor into the glass, and his every move looked very gentlemanly.

"Of course, I've got your share ready. ”

Hearing Chen Wei say this, the butlers and maids' eyes suddenly lit up, and they bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Chen." ”

The empress did not say anything about this, because she was concentrating on taking out the lobster meat according to the method Chen Wei said, dipping it in a little soup, and putting it in her mouth.

It's spicy!

The face became slightly red, but it made people feel very enjoyable.

Not only the simple spicy, fragrant, hemp flavor combined with it, for the taste senses, bring an unprecedented experience.

Three mouthfuls of shrimp and one bite of wine, as if a pattern has been formed, and it can't be stopped at all.

Isabel didn't bother to wipe the oil stains on the corners of her mouth, and there was a sense of competition between her and the empress.

"Isabel, I think it's time for you to go to bed. ”

"Mother should go to bed, isn't there an important meeting tomorrow morning?"

Seeing the two of them saying a word, and quickly moving his hands back and forth between the dishes and bowls, Chen Wei smiled with relief.

As a chef, what is there to dislike about seeing diners with such expressions?

"......" looked at his plate of apple pie that no one cared about and had hardened, and Jeff had mixed feelings.

He was even worried that the empress would not have enough to eat, so he made an extra serving.

Now it seems somewhat ironic......

In this world, there are no absolutely garbage ingredients, only chefs who are not strong enough.

"A chef who isn't strong enough?"

Jeff suddenly remembered what Chen Wei had said to himself before.

After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly felt that it made sense, isn't the mission of the chef to discover the deliciousness of the ingredients to the extreme?

The moment you rely on what you have already set, you have already lost.
