"Let's start, Xiao Wu will help me wash rice!" Liu Mang walked to the stove and commanded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Understood!" Five Eyes replied, taking out a large bag of rice from the cupboard and unpacking it.

"What should I cook?" Liu Mang thought as he checked the seasonings on the table.

Dongying's tea pickled rice looks very simple, it is nothing more than preparing the ingredients, covering the cooled rice, and then pouring the hot tea on top. But it's not that simple.

For example, we are very particular about what kind of tea is used, what temperature is poured into the rice, and what kind of ingredients are used.

"Let's use mackerel, I had chazuke at Master Huaishu's last time, and it tasted very good. Liu Mang thought for a while, then made up his mind, walked to the corner of the hall, and began to choose the ingredients.

"Hey, that Marui is going to use mackerel?" Liu Mang said in surprise when he saw the young man pick out a large fish in the shape of a spinning cone from the freezer.

"Forget it, you use mackerel, then I'll use salmon. The meat of the salmon belly is rich in fat, and it goes well with the bitter tea soup. ”

Although Liu Mang has never made chazuke before, with his own experience, it is easy to analyze what ingredients will taste better when they are matched together.

In fact, this is also a kind of talent, just like some talented painters are born to know what color matching can present the best visual effect.

Marui took the mackerel and other ingredients back to his place and began to cook them.

"Hey, this kid can't do it! I dare to pack a ticket, I will definitely not win against that Chinese." As soon as he saw Marui Zen move the knife, Kameda shook his head.

"yes, I started to see him coaxing, thinking he could have a lot of ability, but it turned out to be a fledgling novice!" Yamazaki also smiled wryly.

"You can see the way he handles mackerel, his movements are very jerky, I'm sure he has never been learning to cook for more than five years!"

"Forget it, let's see how that Chinese cooks, and we can also analyze his shortcomings." ”

"That's all there is to it. Kameda nodded.

Marui painstakingly removed the flesh from the fish, used a small clip to remove the fine spines inside, and then changed the knife into large fish steaks.

Then sprinkle salt and pepper, marinate the fish steak in advance, and then start washing the rice and cooking rice.

"Boss, I knew I didn't need you to do anything, I could do it! Look at that guy, it seems that he hasn't been cooking for a long time, right?" said with five eyes pouting at the opposite side.

"Well, it's a newbie. It's strange, where did he get his confidence, does he really treat me as a soft persimmon? Anyone can handle it?" Liu Mang was a little funny.

"It's also a good opportunity, though, I can't win too easily, so it's better to create an illusion for these people in the hall. ”

Marui finished cooking, then took a pan and began to fry the fish steak.

"Boss, what tools do you use to cook rice? is it a rice cooker or a pressure cooker?" he asked, with the rice already ready.

"Use an urn, cook it directly over an open flame, I have eaten the chazuke made by Master Huaishu, and he cooked it in an urn. In this way, the cooked rice can be shiny and not sticky. ”

"OK!" Five-Eyes nodded, took a clay urn, poured the washed rice into it, added the appropriate water, and covered it to simmer.

"Wait, let's add this. Liu Mang took out a few pieces of black things from a wooden box, broke them, and threw them into the urn.

"What is this?"

"This is kombu, a type of kelp, and when you cook rice, you can add a little bit to increase the umami flavor of the rice. Liu Mang explained.

The rice was simmering on the stove, and Liu Mang took a salmon and used a quick knife to remove the belly from its belly.

This piece of belly is red mixed with white line-like fat, and it can be quickly bounced up when pressed with your fingers, and it is very fresh.

Liu Mang cut the belly into small pieces, cut a little shredded kelp, shredded green onions, and finally took a little coriander and chopped it into minced pieces.

"Liu Mangjun, do you want to put coriander in your tea and rice grains?" Ida Jiro on the side couldn't help but ask.

Coriander, also known as coriander, is a commonly used condiment in Chinese cooking.

"Well, it would be better to put some flavor. Liu Mang nodded.

"I advise you not to do that. Jiro Ida suggests, "There are some people in Toei who don't like this taste very much. ”

"I understand, it's the same in China, the smell of coriander is very strong, some people love it, and some people hate it. ”

"Huh, why do you want to put it when you know?" said Jiro Ida was very strange.

"Well, keep it secret for the time being, I have my plans. Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Okay. Jiro Ida was very interested and didn't ask again.

The longer he followed Liu Mang's side and the more he understood Liu Mang, the more he felt that this young man's talent was really terrifying.

Many times, a seemingly inconspicuous detail actually implies a deep meaning, and it is only at the moment when the answer is revealed that people will suddenly understand.

When Liu Mang's ingredients were ready, he took a frying pan, put it on the stove, put a little butter, and began to fry the fish pieces.

"Xiao Wu, after the rice is cooked, help me boil a pot of boiling water, and I will make tea later." ”

"No problem!"

"By the way, don't use tap water, use mineral water in a bucket. Liu Mang added.

The butter cubes melted at the bottom of the pan, and Liu Mang put the belly of the salmon into it, turned on low heat, and fried it.

This kind of basic skill is too easy for Liu Mang, and it is not an exaggeration to say that even if he closes his eyes, he can do better than some people.

On the other hand, Marui Zen, on the other side, had a solemn face, staring closely at the fish steak in the pot, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally fry the paste.

The fish makes a 'sizzling' sound in the pan, and the brown color gradually emerges on the skin.

"Boss, the rice is ready!" said Five Eyes leaned over to the clay urn on the stove and fanned the wind with his hand.

"Well, turn off the heat, simmer for a while, then scoop it out and wait for the rice to cool through. Liu Mang commanded.

At this time, Marui Zen's fish steak was also fried, and he moved the fish steak from the pan to the cutting board and cut it into small pieces with a knife.

Liu Mang's fish pieces were fried, he wiped his hands and came to Marui Shan.

"Marui-kun, do you understand the rules of the competition?" asked Liu Mang.

"I don't know. Seeing Liu Mang coming, Marui Shan scratched his head a little restrainedly and replied.

I don't know why, obviously this Chinese is about the same age as himself, but when he stands in front of him, he immediately becomes a little shorter, is this the so-called momentum?

"Well, let me explain. When our food is ready, we go to the street and pick a few random passers-by and ask passers-by to vote without knowing who the chef is, what do you think?"

"No problem, that's fair. Marui thought about it and agreed.
