Chapter 74: Cooking Showdown in the Sky (Part II)
The red-haired boy is naturally the protagonist of the halberd, Kohei Chuangzhen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's also wonderful to say, Xia Yu used the explosive flame cuisine to repair the Minegasaki Yaeko well, who knows that the original plot line is still running on the established track, if Xia Yu sees the scene of Minegasaki visiting Kohei Restaurant, he will definitely breathe a sigh of relief.
At least, the recipe he prepared for Maki Morita about egg dishes will not be wasted in the examination room of the Yuanyue transfer student.
"You are indeed a guest. β
Kohei Soma doesn't care about any Chinese restaurant at Ueno Station in Tokyo.
"It's my job as a chef to satisfy you with food. Kohei Soma showed great self-confidence, "If the food is not satisfying to the customers, there is no need for Kohei Restaurant to exist." β
There was a hint of ridicule in Mine's eyes.
She hadn't set a trap yet, but Kohei Chuangzhen stepped on the fire by herself.
"Can I order any kind of food?" Minegasaki asked.
Kohei Soma pointed to the menu on the wall, "This is today's menu, you can order whatever you want." β
Minegasaki got up and walked over.
Compared with Xia's Chinese restaurant, Kohei Restaurant, in terms of food price, really deserves a people-friendly evaluation.
From left to right:
Steak course, 880 yen.
Yakiniku course, 780 yen.
Hamburger set for 720 yen
β¦β¦
At a glance at Minegasaki, the cheapest dishes are the fried chicken set, the meat tofu set, the mapo tofu set, and the salted mackerel set, all of which cost 650 yen.
The set meal includes rice and side dishes, and you can eat enough by ordering one, unlike Xia's shop, where ordinary home-cooked dishes start at 3,000 yen, which is simply scary.
"Mapo Tofu, do you also serve Chinese food in your restaurant?" Minegasaki stared at the menu.
Kohei Soma grinned, "Of course, we will cook Japanese food, we will cook Western food, and we will also cook some Chinese food. β
"Then I'll order mapo tofuβ"
Minegasaki also smiled.
"Then you wait a minute. Kohei Soma turned around and walked into the open kitchen.
Minegasaki walked over, stood outside the kitchen counter, and said in an accentuated tone: "In addition, I have to tell you that the chef of the Chinese restaurant in Ueno Station is about the same age as you. β
"But, I just tasted his food yesterday, and at least it is at the level of the main dish of the IGO three- or four-star restaurant...... Are you sure you want to make a mapo tofu dish to satisfy my appetite?" Minegasaki squinted.
Kohei Chuangzhen's footsteps were stunned.
A chef his age?
At first, Kohei Sozane thought he had heard it wrong, but Minesaki's next sentence made him hang his heart.
What is the level of the main dish of IGO three- and four-star restaurants?
Hiss. Kohei Soma gasped, turned around in disbelief, and stared firmly at Minegasaki's coquettish face, "Are you sure? At the age of sixteen, he can make the main dish of a three- or four-star restaurant? Then he is at least an IGO three-star chef!"
Kohei Soma is not a fool without common sense, he lives in this world, goes to school with normal people, works out his cooking skills at Kohei restaurant when he is a child, and he cares more about and understands IGO food institutions than ordinary people.
After all, IGO is the world's leading gastronomic institution.
All chefs are honored to receive an IGO rating certificate.
Kohei Sojin doesn't have an IGO certificate, because he doesn't know much about his cooking skills, and what level he is at.
His father, Joichiro Kohei, rarely spoke of the IGO organization. Every time Kohei Soma asked, he got the same answer - let's beat me once first.
Therefore, even after losing the 489th time under his father, Kohei Soma was still full of fighting spirit.
"Don't underestimate me, I'm also a foodie, I've been to countless high-end restaurants, and I was even invited by IGO to attend the opening ceremony of their GGO Grand Cru restaurant. Minegasaki shrugged at Kohei Sojin's questioning.
"Let's change the dish, on mapo tofu, you can't satisfy me. β
"After tasting a Chinese cuisine last night, the requirements for Chinese cuisine in my mind have been raised several levels. β
Minegasaki said lightly, while observing Kohei Soma's stiff face, secretly happy in his heart.
peers.
Moreover, he is also a peer who is better than himself.
The more confident and scrappy the teenager, the more difficult it is to bear to be compared. At least until the official halberd defeat was carried out, Minegasaki was sure that Kohei Soma would not throw in easily.
Really.
Kohei Chuangzhen prepared the ingredients without saying a word, "You order, I'll do it, can I satisfy you, wait until I make the food." β
Minegasaki couldn't deny it, retracting his gaze and staring at the long-haired middle-aged red man who was always busy in front of the stove.
"Boss Kohei, aren't you going to do it yourself?"
"Let's try it first. Kohei Joichiro said without looking back.
"Then I'll see. β
Minegasaki sat back in her seat, where she could see Kohei Soma bringing tofu and peppercorns from the food store, as well as ginger slices and minced garlic.
Moreover, Minegasaki noticed that Kohei Soma had chopped a small piece of pork and chopped it into a mash.
Before cutting the pork, he had already cut the tofu cubes and soaked them in a small basin filled with salt water.
"Huh......" Mine's eyebrows jumped, and she found that Kohei Chuangzhen took out a bottle of red seasoning from the cupboard, and she lost her voice in her heart, isn't this the Shuchuan bean paste that Xia Yu used to stir-fry the meat back to the pot last night?
Minegasaki didn't know that bean paste is an indispensable essence condiment for many Shuchuan cuisines.
The use of bean paste shows that the mapo tofu that Xingping Chuangzhen wants to make, at least in terms of materials, is already authentic.
The tofu is still soaking, Kohei Soma turns on the fire, stir-fries the chives and garlic in the oil pan, and then adds the meat puree, tempeh and bean paste to stir-fry together, and the fragrance suddenly fills the store.
Sniffed, but Mine-Nosaki's expression was very flat.
A quarter of an hour later, Kohei Soma, with a white scarf on his head, brought a plate of steaming mapo tofu to the table.
"Pleaseβ" He untied the white towel and said in a confident tone, "I've done my best to make this mapo tofu." You'll definitely be satisfied!"
Minegasaki took the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of tofu, carefully observed the dish, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
The hot and spicy dishes are like mud cows entering the sea, and they can't bring up any waves.
Although he had expected it, Minegasaki still let out a sigh in his heart.
Coming back from Xia's shop yesterday and eating dessert in the evening, to today's breakfast and lunch, Minegasaki felt like he was chewing white paper. The bark still has at least a little taste, and the white paper must have no taste, right?
Now, nothing has changed.
Her tongue, and even her entire mouth, were like a pool of stagnant water, and she didn't react in the slightest to Kohei Sojin's cooking.
Witnessing Mine-no-Saki's expression during the meal, Kohei Sotsune felt a sigh in his heart and realized that something was wrong.
In the past, when those diners enjoyed his works, they did not enjoy and be happy. Kohei Chuangzhen can really see that Minegasaki's blandness is not pretended, this is the truest performance of her tasting cuisine.
"How could it be ......?"
Kohei Soma squeezed the white towel that had been taken off and grabbed in his right hand.
"As I said, I already had a Chinese dish last night, and the main theme of that Chinese cuisine is also hot and spicy, maybe it is more appropriate to evaluate the hot as the taste of flames. Minegasaki put down his chopsticks and said lightly.
These words hit Kohei Chuangzhen hard.
The taste of the food I ate last night still lingers to this day, and the aftertaste is in Mine-no-Saki's mouth, building a strong fortress.
His cuisine can't break down the fortress, so it's not something to make diners enjoy.
