> "You're here." ”

Just when Fang Ze and Liu Yuexing were chatting about some cooking experience, and Lin Xiaoxin was eating everywhere, the awkward Chinese that Fang Ze was familiar with rang in his ears again.

"Hello, meet again. ”

The only one who can talk so awkwardly is the neon chef.

Fang Ze looked at a platform in front of him, and sure enough, the neon chef who had spoken on the high-speed train before was standing there and bent down slightly to speak.

"It's really fateful. Fang Ze nodded slightly at the neon chef, and then asked, "Is this your booth?"

"Yes. This is a booth that my brother applied for to show our authentic Japanese food. Why don't you come and try it? ”

"Taste it. Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades walked over and found that in addition to this neon cook, there was another tall, thin chef with a serious expression who was also standing there, making sashimi seriously.

"What to call it. Fang Ze asked the names of these two, after all, they had been chatting for a long time, and it was a little rude not to even know each other's names.

"My name is Kojima, and this is my senior brother Hanyu. When Xiao Dao saw Fang Ze coming, he happily introduced Fang Ze and the others to his senior brother, and honestly said that he was pointed out by Fang Ze's companion last time because he didn't make authentic Japanese food because of the problem of ingredients. ”

"The Japanese food we made this time is absolutely authentic. Hanyu said to the two, "Wait a minute, these sashimi will also participate in the climbing competition, so that everyone can rate them." ”

Oh.

Fang Ze looked at the number of sashimi on the table, and found that Hanyu and Kojima really made a lot of sashimi, and there was absolutely no way for the guests here to finish it, and the rest could participate in the official competition after a while.

Therefore, the two brothers, Hanyu and Kojima, saved the time of cooking a dish in the climbing competition that waited for a while.

And more importantly, in fact, since the diners on the first floor have spent a lot of tickets for their usual food, they can be sure that they have more or less foodie attributes.

But there is still a big distance between foodies and foodies.

Therefore, the rating of diners on the first floor is not which dish is really delicious will give the peak, but that they will give a high score if they think it is delicious, and the score can obviously have a great subjectivity.

While other chefs didn't release their finale too early to prevent other chefs from seeing it, Kojima Hanyu and the others pushed out the sashimi early, and when the diners ate it, there was a sense of familiarity.

Generally speaking, when ordinary people are struggling with which option to choose, they will prefer the one they are familiar with.

Therefore, this sashimi that was pushed out in advance may win a lot of points for these two neon chefs in the final rating.

"I'll taste it. Fang Ze took a piece of sashimi and tasted it, and felt that the taste was very strong, if you just tasted it, it was very good. But if you eat more, Fang Ze can only stay away.

"Very nice. Fang Ze still raised his thumb and praised the two chefs.

Kojima and Hanyu saw Fang Ze's compliment and looked proud.

"I'll try it too. Liu Yuexing, who was on the side, also took a piece of sashimi and put it in his mouth.

Because of Liu Pleias's appearance as a child, Kojima Hanyu and the others didn't care much about Liu Pleiades.

But I didn't expect Liu Pleiades to frown after tasting the first bite of sashimi.

"What's wrong?" Fang Ze turned his head and asked him.

"Maybe children are not used to eating mustard. Kojima didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and said in a relaxed tone.

"There's something wrong with this mustard. Liu Pleiades opened his mouth and said directly.

"Our mustard is airlifted from neon in order to ensure authenticity, and there will be no problems at all. Xiao Dao didn't understand what Liu Pleiades meant, and thought that Liu Pleiades was because he hadn't eaten a lot of mustard and was not used to eating it.

"If the wasabi you use for your Japanese food is wasabi, it should be wasabi. Liu Angxing looked up and asked.

"Yes. Hanyu answered Liu's question.

At this time, the two neon chefs realized that the child in front of them might really have something wrong with eating, after all, the wasabi in Japanese cuisine and the wasabi in Chinese cuisine are not the same kind of mustard, and ordinary diners don't know much.

"Is their mustard ordinary mustard?"

"It's not. Liu Pleiades tasted it again, and then looked up at Kojima and Hanyu and said, "They use horseradish." ”

"What is horseradish?" Fang Ze asked.

"Because the price of wasabi is relatively high, there are also many people who use horseradish as a substitute for wasabi. "Horseradish is also a plant, which is often used as a condiment for barbecue in the West, and the taste is similar to that of wasabi. But more importantly, it is cheaper than wasabi. ”

Liu Pleiades pointed to the wasabi on the sashimi and said, "You see the color of this wasabi is green, and it looks exactly the same as the color of wasabi." But in fact, the color of horseradish is pale yellow, and special means are required to dye the color of horseradish into the color of wasabi. ”

"No special means were used. Kojima hurriedly explained, "Generally, it is added with usable pigments, which will not change the taste and any harm to the human body." ”

"Pigment?" Liu Pleiades didn't understand what pigment meant, and looked up at Fang Ze.

"You think of edible coloring as something that changes the color of things, but it doesn't change the taste of things. Fang Ze explained simply.

"It doesn't matter if it changes the taste. Liu Pleiades pointed to the sashimi and said, "Since you are under the banner of authentic sashimi, you should use traditional wasabi in Japanese cuisine instead of horseradish." ”

"Ahem. Xiao Dao pointed out this matter when he saw that Liu Pleiades was such a righteous child, and quickly leaned out of the platform and said to Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades, "Don't misunderstand, don't make a noise first, I'll explain to you slowly." Kojima said and motioned for Fang Ze and Liu Ze to enter the platform, and then he bowed to Liu Ze and Fang Ze, "I'm sorry that the mustard made from horseradish has caused you a bad experience." ”

"It's not that it's a bad experience for us. Liu Pleiades said to Kojima, "Since you say that you are traditional and authentic Japanese food, then you should use the most traditional seasoning." And even if you want to innovate, it shouldn't be horseradish instead of wasabi. ”

"That's right. Kojima said to Liu Pleiades and Fang Ze, "It stands to reason that we should use wasabi, but in fact, in the Japanese restaurants in Huaxia, even the high-end Japanese restaurants with our neon chefs still use horseradish instead of wasabi." So we were worried that the use of wasabi in this contest would make diners think that our sashimi was not authentic. ”

It's a refreshing reason. Fang Ze silently complained in his heart.

"That's not really the reason. Liu Pleiades suddenly pointed to the cabinet under the platform and said.

Fang Ze looked in the direction of Liu Pleiades's finger and found that inside the half-open cupboard, there was a water basin, and an emerald green plant was faintly visible above the water basin.

"You obviously prepared wasabi. Liu went on to say to Kojima and Hanyu, "The spicy flavor of wasabi is volatile and difficult to preserve. Therefore, wasabi is generally freshly ground when used to make wasabi, for fear that the taste will deteriorate after contact with the air. ”

Kojima and Hanyu were directly frightened by Liu Pleiasion's words, after all, this kind of shoddy thing is the most taboo in the chef world.

Originally, the high price of some delicacies was due to the difference in ingredients, and even the ingredients were fake.

Then no matter how delicious it is, its meaning is completely lost.

"The taste of wasabi and horseradish is difficult to identify, but the way to eat them is completely different. Liu went on to debunk the two neon chefs, "The common way to eat sashimi is to add mustard sauce to soy sauce and stir the sashimi. But wasabi is completely different. ”

"Because the taste of wasabi is destroyed when it is stirred in soy sauce, the real way to eat sashimi is to dip a small pinch of wasabi on top of the sashimi, then dip the other side of the sashimi in the sauce, and use chopsticks to put the sashimi stained with wasabi into your mouth, so that the soy sauce and wasabi do not come into direct contact. ”

After Liu Pleiades finished speaking, he pointed to the soy sauce mustard prepared by the two neon chefs on the counter and said, "For convenience, you directly mixed mustard and soy sauce, so you didn't plan to hide the idea of using horseradish at all." The reason for this is because you don't think there are any real gourmets on the first floor. ”

"You keep the wasabi for the nobles on the upper floors to taste, because these nobles have eaten real sashimi. So you don't use wasabi because people here can't get used to it, but you just save materials and make them shoddy. ”

Liu Pleiades said this mercilessly, but Hanyu and Kojima had no way to refute it.

They did use horseradish instead of wasabi, which may not be known to ordinary diners, but once it became a big problem, it attracted the management of this competition. Just get a professional gourmand and taste it.

Although the use of horseradish instead of wasabi will not make much difference in taste for ordinary people, it is absolutely not allowed, just like the use of mouse macros by top FPS players.

Even if your craftsmanship is top-notch, shoddy is shoddy.

Even if your strength is strong, but opening a plug-in is opening a plug-in.

It's something that can't be washed clean, and it's something that can ruin any chef's career.

"Good material is limited, that's understandable. However, in the publicity, you must be clear to your guests, and you can't hide it because the guests don't understand. A chef who can't treat your guests with sincerity is not worthy of being a chef!"

"Well said!" suddenly came a voice of approval.

Fang Ze turned his head, only to find that although Xiao Dao brought Fang Ze and Liu Pleiades into the back of the booth, because Liu Pleiades spoke too loudly just now, many onlookers rushed over to take the last train and heard Liu Pleiasion's speech behind.
