CH.140 Catherine's Suggestion

On the third day, early in the morning, Zheng Ke got up early, came to the kitchen, and made the dishes that took six or seven hours yesterday to think of. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zheng Ke tried his best to get rid of the shadow of the Marseille seafood soup, and when cooking this dish, except for a few ingredients, the other ingredients were very different from the Marseille seafood soup.

Of course, Zheng Ke also has his own fears, he has never made this dish, and he is a little worried that the dish he will make will be 'dark cuisine'.

However, when the rich fragrance wafted out, Zheng Ke sniffed twice desperately, and I have to say that the soup is a good soup, it depends on what level it can reach.

"Well, it smells so good. Catherine's voice drifted through the doorway.

"You're here just in time, how about you try this dish. Zheng Ke poured the soup into the soup bowl and placed it in front of Catherine.

The grouper is cut into pieces and placed in a soup bowl with a white broth, while scallops, clams, and shrimp are also covered with a white broth, which is rich and delicious.

"It looked so hearty, so I started eating. Catherine picked up the spoon, took a sip of the soup, closed her eyes and savored it.

"Well, it's a very good dish...... Butter, parsley, garlic, celery are added to the soup...... Then, the white wine removes the fishy smell of the fish and makes the taste of the fish more delicious, and the scallops are also good, light and delicious, and enter the heart. The flavor of the shrimp and clams in it is also just right - that is, it tastes a little nondescript. ”

"Huh, nondescript?" Zheng Ke scratched his head, he didn't expect Catherine to give such an opinion, "It's impossible, right? ”

"Ahem...... I retract the phrase 'nondescript'. This dish is indeed a very good dish if you eat it at home, but this dish, to be honest, is a bit like a hodgepodge. If you have seafood with excellent umami, such as scallops, clams, shrimp, and grouper, if you want to highlight the flavor of the ingredients, you should use stock instead of cream and butter as a soup. If you're looking for texture, you should choose to cook a thick soup. In short, it doesn't mean that the dish is not delicious, but that it tastes too delicious. I think it tastes better if you reduce the ingredients for it. ”

Zheng Ke listened to Catherine's words, immediately looked at the recipe, and then recalled the meaning of Catherine's words.

"You must have modeled it after seafood soup? After all, saffron was also inspired by seafood soup. However, my advice is that it is best to choose between seafood soup and thick soup, and then combine it with the heat and the control of the seasoning, and the cooking should be better. Catherine said very seriously.

Zheng Ke nodded and smiled bitterly: "I thought this dish would be very good?"

"The dish is outstanding, it's just...... It's very difficult to think too much about the deliciousness of the seafood soup and the heaviness of the soup. Sometimes, 1+1<1. Catherine reminded Zheng Ke.

"Thank you. As soon as you say that, I know what to do. Luckily, you're from France. Zheng Ke gritted his teeth and smiled.

"That'...... Of course. I...... I'm just missing everyone. Catherine, who was still in high spirits just now, was a little restrained after hearing Zheng Ke's words, and her eyes drifted to other places.

Zheng Ke didn't have time to tease Catherine, all his thoughts were on cooking.

Since you have chosen one of the two, why not choose the soup?

In addition to not wanting to follow Absolon's old path, Zheng Ke is also not at ease with seafood soup. After all, Absolun's seafood soup once lost to him.

There are still more than four days to go, but he seems to have found some way.

For the next four days, Zheng Ke almost kept revising his recipes, and Catherine only mentioned the shortcomings of the cooking, but how to improve it, without mentioning it at all.

Finally, on the morning of the sixth day, Zheng Ke finally made the final version of the soup, which was highly praised by Catherine.

"Huh, I finally got your approval, I thought I was going to hang up?" Zheng Ke lay on the operating table, but the strength on his body seemed to be exhausted.

However, there is a disadvantage to this dish, and after eating it, there is no feeling of satisfaction. Catherine was slightly worried.

"Wouldn't it?" Zheng Ke heard Catherine's words, immediately started, picked up the soup spoon, and took a sip, sure enough, after swallowing it, the delicious taste remained in the throat, but as Catherine said, the whole dish did seem to have lost something. And it's so familiar......

Zheng Ke crossed his arms to his chest and fell into deep thought.

Although Catherine knew how to make up for this shortcoming, out of respect for Zheng Ke, she still chose to remain silent, and, with her understanding of Zheng Ke, this difficult question should not be difficult for him. Perhaps, his solution is better than his own.

……

When Zheng Ke came out of the kitchen and glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

When he came to the hall, Zheng Ke found that many people were surrounding the bulletin board.

"Zheng Ke, your problem solved?" Catherine asked curiously.

"yes, but what a solution...... I don't think you'll guess at all. Zheng Ke said proudly.

"Hey, I don't believe you won't do it tomorrow. Catherine looked dismissive.

Zheng Ke didn't want to argue with Catherine, but pointed to the board and said, "What is written on it?"

"Nothing. Writing about the things you need to pay attention to when you play tomorrow. Probably speaking, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition, tomorrow's competition, only the judges and contestants are allowed to appear in the arena, while other contestants and reporters who have not competed will have to watch the competition in the lounge or watch under the big screen outside the villa. By the way, your game is tomorrow afternoon, from 2 to 5 o'clock. ”

Zheng Ke nodded, this mode can indeed reduce the impact of the audience on the players, and it does not prevent reporters from recording the game, and even to some extent, the field of observation will be better.

This change has not had a big impact on Zheng Ke.

"By the way, do you see the others?"

"The others?? Now go back and rest. ”

This Takasugi Shouji...... It's too big, isn't it?

"Then let's go out and have a look, shall we?" Zheng Ke said as he looked at Catherine.

"Just waiting for your words. Let's go!" Catherine pulled Zheng Ke and walked towards the outside of the villa.

"Hey, wait for me to change my clothes first, this set of clothes on my body is so dirty. Zheng Ke staggered two steps, but Catherine ignored Zheng Ke's protest and pulled Zheng Ke out of the villa.
