Branch kitchen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After standing for a full hour, Xia Yu suddenly woke up, and then cleaned the kitchen counter without saying a word.

"It's eleven o'clock in the evening......"

Ryoko Rina looked at Xia Yu, who was busy, and then looked back at the wall clock in the kitchen.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, the short hour hand is set at the number "11", and the slightly longer minute hand has just skimmed the "12" and is heading towards the number "1".

It happened to be eleven o'clock in the evening.

There is only one hour left until the end of the review.

It can be said that it was the dead of night outside, and the kitchen didn't receive an order for a while, so Xia Yu had the leisure to stand for so long.

Da-da-da-da.

The sound of disorganized footsteps.

Turning around, Ryoko Rina caught a glimpse of Mas entering the door, raised her eyebrows, and was about to scold, but Erina, Masato Kamihara and a noble woman in a lady's suit entered the kitchen together.

"Governor Tamagawa!"

Seeing that it was the mayor of Tokyo, Ryoko Lina's face softened and saluted slightly.

Hmm, Yuriko Tamagawa obviously knew Ryoko Lina, and said with a smile: "I heard Minister Kamihara say, Ryoko, you have been stationed in this neighborhood recently, and that young chef who needs special care is him?"

The female governor said, casting a curious look at the male high school student who was pausing in front of the kitchen counter and concentrating, and looked carefully.

Young indeed!

However, there is a calm temperament between the eyebrows that his peers do not have.

The gestures are full of the demeanor of the head chef.

Even if a random diner visits, he will definitely judge Xia Yu's identity as the chef at a glance. It's a very strange intuitive reaction. Or it is called "momentum" and "spirit". And this kitchen is undoubtedly Xia Yu's main battlefield, the main territory, he is the master!

"Oh, so young!" Yuriko Tamagawa chuckled, "It turns out that today's glowing dishes are made by him, and it's really unbelievable." ”

Clean the kitchen counter carefully.

Xia Yu cleaned up all the excess things on the kitchen counter, and then spread a layer of dry powder on the kitchen counter.

"Wow"

Cleanly, he lifted the small bag of flour he took back from the store, and with a shake of his hand, the whole bag of flour was poured on the kitchen counter, piled up into a small hill dozens of centimeters high, and turned around to take a salt spoon and sprinkled some salt grains into the flour pile, which seemed to be very casual, but Xia Yu was precisely controlling the amount of salt and firmly controlling any details.

Hey.

Isshiki Hui and Kobayashi Gentian also entered the kitchen, and standing behind Erina Nagikiri, the three interns saw Xia Yu from under the kitchen counter, and felt a black stick, about three feet long, like a cane, and his eyes were straight for a while.

"W-What is that?" Erina's eyes flickered.

"Looks like a kind of rolling pin, right?"

Kobayashi Gentian nodded his lower lip and said uncertainly.

"Just look at it. "Yishihui can only smile bitterly. His eyes were fixed on Xia Yu, and he couldn't stop complaining in his heart, how many secrets are hidden in this guy!

"Sticks!"

A refreshing voice came from behind everyone.

Dojima Gin, Akiyama Hiroshi and Nagi Kiri Senzaemon, the three distinguished guests sitting in the No. 2 private room, also came together.

Akiyama Hiroshi picked up the words of Dojima Silver and said with a smile: "This kind of stick is the cooking tool of the white case chef, just like the kitchen knife of the red case chef, so I don't need to say more about the importance." ”

"White case, red case?"

Isshiki, Kobayashi Gentian, and Nagikiri Erina looked at each other, obviously not knowing the meaning of these Chinese terms. This is something that the Far Moon Modern Professional Course does not have.

"The white case is also known as the pastry chef. ”

"The red case, that is, the one who holds the knife, the chef outside the pastry field. ”

Hiroshi Akiyama explained to three of the students in the crowd that he was personable and had the demeanor of a professor at a higher education institution.

"This is a saying from the Chinese mainland, before modern times, the white case and the red case chef are two fields that do not communicate with each other, such as the palace cuisine that has been lost in the mysterious continent, in the banquet of the palace cuisine, the white case and the red case, each performing its own duties, must not have a trace of reversal. ”

Akiyama Hiroshi said slowly:

"However, in modern times, the boundary between white and red cases is not as obvious as in ancient times, and chefs have also begun to learn pastry skills, explore more fields, and have more comprehensive cooking skills......

Speaking of this, Hiroshi Akiyama suddenly stopped, his eyes condensed.

The three interns silently digested the knowledge, and then were surprised, who is this guy?

The kitchen was quiet, no one spoke at this time, and a pair of eyes invariably gathered on Xia Yu, and Xia Yu, who was immersed in the cooking world, simply ignored the irrelevant personnel.

Syllable!

A flash of darkness!

The black stick has shaved over the hill made of all-purpose flour and flattened the top of the mountain!

Smash it with a stick!

The flattened mountain tip suddenly sank, Xia Yu picked up the basin placed next to it with his left hand, and with a bang, the water flowed into the flour pile, forming a volcanic lake-like scenery.

"Cold water!"

Seeing this, Kobayashi Gentian exclaimed in a low voice.

Yes, cold water.

This detail says a lot.

In this process, three kinds of water are used: cold water, warm water, and hot water.

It was still Hiroshi Akiyama who broke the silence and explained: "Hot water dough, also called boiling water, hot noodles. The water temperature is generally 60-100 degrees Celsius, this kind of dough, the protein is coagulated, the gluten is destroyed, and the starch is also decomposed into monosaccharides and disaccharides. ”

"Hot water dough is suitable for steamed buns, steamed dumplings, siu mai and pot stickers. Erina said softly.

The governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Tamagawa, who has been silent, said with a smile: "If the water is warm, the water temperature is about 50 degrees, and it is generally used to make all kinds of steamed cakes. For example, taiyaki is made with warm water dough, and the texture is soft and tough, and it is very delicious!"

Ichishiki and Erina looked at the Tokyo governor with suspicion, but they didn't expect the governor to have cooking knowledge at his fingertips.

"Finally, it's cold water dough. ”

Dojima Silver raised three fingers and said in a deep voice:

"Cold water dough has 3 characteristics, strong toughness, strong tensile force and rigidity!"

Saying that, several bigwigs present nodded silently.

"Noodles!"

"It can only be pasta!"

"Ramen?"

Whispering, each with its own guesses.

"Look—"

Kobayashi Gentian suddenly covered his mouth, as if he had seen an unbelievable scene, and his golden eyes had a thick look of surprise.

Syllable!

At least half of the black stick was inserted into the milky white face mountain!

Seeing this scene, Akiyama Hiroshi and Nagi Kiri Senzaemon subconsciously looked at each other and said, "Use sticks and noodles!"

That's right!

When the others were suspicious, Xia Yu held the black pastry stick, and swirled around the "crater lake" on the top of the mountain, and the clear water gradually mixed with the flour with the rotation of the stick.

Xia Yu's lips opened and closed imperceptibly, and he muttered to himself in a subtle voice that he could hear:

"Dough is not kneaded by brute force......"

"Finger spin!"

"Wrist spin!"

"Arm spin!"

Just as Xia Yu muttered to himself, the black pastry stick, the speed of turning in circles and drawing circles, became faster and faster, and finally only pieces of black afterimages remained!

Whew, whew.

There was a whirlwind blowing in the kitchen.

The sudden change in air currents, including the governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Tamagawa, who is not a chef with keen senses, immediately sensed the vision.

"W-What is he doing?!"

A scene that subverts common sense makes Isshiki Hui, Kobayashi Gentian, and Erina Nagikiri lose their voices and widen their eyes.

The bigwigs such as Dojima Gin, Akiyama Hiroshi, and Marshal Tozuki also had a look of surprise that lasted for a long time.

This...... (To be continued.) )
