CH.23 The Unlucky Nobi

Zheng Ke got a piece of squid from Asami, then laid the squid meat flat on the cutting board, picked up the chef's knife, and cut diagonally into the surface of the squid at an inclination of 45 degrees, stopping the tip of the knife at 4/5 of the way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info then repeats this action on the surface of the squid at a very fast speed. At the end, the blade turned, and in the other direction, in the same way, the same cut was carved on the surface of the squid, and the cut in both directions crossed at 45 degrees. Once you've done this, cut it into small pieces with a knife and put it in a small bowl.

Catherine on one side was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but ask Asami.

"What is Zheng Ke doing?"

Asami glanced up at Zheng Ke, and a look of surprise appeared on her face, but she quickly returned to normal, "Flower knife." ”

"Flower knives?" Catherine was still unimpressed.

This roughly means that the surface of the squid is cut into a deep and impermeable knife pattern, and then after cooking, the meat is curled into various shapes due to uneven heating. Asami explained.

Catherine nodded and muttered, "I see, I think I've eaten this kind of food." ”

Then, she glanced at Asami's cooking, "Why don't you use this knife?" I remember that the ingredients that have been processed this way will be very delicious. ”

"Of course it's delicious. But it also requires a lot of deep knife skills. Ordinary people will definitely not be able to cut the perfect flower knife without some practice. ”

"Flower knife...... Catherine frowned, her face fell into solemnity, this kind of knife technique is really not common in France.

After cutting the squid, Zheng Ke picked up the iron pot again, put cooking oil in it, waited until the oil was hot, poured the squid pieces into it, and mixed it with cooking wine. Soon, a strong aromatic smell wafted out of the pot, which gradually spread in the air.

At this time, the pieces of squid curl and shrink inward, and the cut knife lines are fully unfolded, like pine cones.

Pouring these cuttlefish pieces into the bowl again, Zheng Ke quickly cut the chili peppers, pickled peppers and other ingredients, and then, after heating the cooking oil, put the spices into the pot for stir-frying.

The spicy smell continued to waft out of the pot, and Nobi sneezed twice in a row, and snot fell on the dish in front of him.

He glanced at the ramen in front of him with great disgust, picked it with chopsticks, and remembered that there was his own snot in it, and immediately felt extremely nauseous, but if he didn't eat it, he felt extremely inappropriate. After all, his job is to rate the food, so at least take a bite, even if it's just for show.

Thinking of this, Nobi could only twist his nose and force himself to eat the next noodle. As a result, it turned out that the taste turned out to be quite good.

In the end, Nobi could only suppress his disgust for snot deep in his heart and gave the classmate a passing grade.

The classmate happily rushed out of the examination room, and Asami's cooking was finally ready, and she came to Nobi with her own cooking a little nervously.

She knows very well that compared with Zheng Ke and Catherine, her cooking skills are the worst. After the conflict with Nobi, her situation is also the most dangerous of the four. If Yebi raises the evaluation standard by one or several notches, she may really be eliminated.

Nobi sneered as she watched Asami come up, but her gaze shifted to her food. Squid rings are scattered on the plate, coated with a dark sauce, sporadic chopped red peppers are sprinkled on top of the squid rings and sauce, and shredded shallots are placed on top.

"Teriyaki squid. ”

The rich flavor of the sauce continued to enter Nobi's nostrils, and his nose, which had been sneezing from being stimulated by chili peppers, itched again. Nobi quickly rubbed his nose, and he must not let the scene just happen again, because the person who tried it was him.

Pick up a squid ring and put it in your mouth, and a mellow flavor begins to spread from your taste buds to all directions.

"After mixing mirin, sauce, and sake, onion, ginger, chili, vinegar, and minced garlic...... The flavors of each other, in the combination of each other, become more intense. The combination between this delicious teriyaki sauce and cuttlefish is just right. It's so delicious that it's hard to get rid of it. ”

"Served with crisp and refreshing shallots...... The aroma is mixed with a hint of freshness, and the taste of the whole dish is imparted by the red pepper and hits the taste buds...... This kind of food is really delicious. ”

Nobi bit her lip and stared at Asami with her eyes bloodshot.

He desperately didn't want Asami to pass, but the squid's delicious taste hit his organs like a wave.

"Tong ...... Pass. ”

A subtle sound squeezed out between Nobi's teeth. Although he is extremely reluctant to admit it, the food does not lie, and even if he raises the bar, Asami's requirements are still qualified.

Such a small voice, to Asami's ears, is extremely loud. The nerves she had been tense could finally be put down.

Asami turned her head and looked at Zheng Ke, Catherine, and Absolon, clenched her fists, and raised them high.

Zheng Ke gave Asami a thumbs up, then picked up the iron pot and poured the food into the plate.

Hot and sour cuttlefish rolls, freshly baked!

Yebi looked at Zheng Ke, who was getting closer, and secretly clenched his fists. The humiliation he had just received must be repaid twice as much as on this student...... Pander to...... Sneeze.

After Zheng Ke put the food on the podium, Yebi couldn't help but sneeze. However, this time he had prepared in advance, so before sneezing, he turned his head at great speed and struck the other girl's dish with snot impartially.

The girl looked down at the cook, then at Nobi's hideous expression, and almost cried.

Damn, it's too decrepit today, isn't it? I have to try it anyway, and I wouldn't have turned my head if I knew it.

Yebi put this account on Zheng Ke's body again, there is no way, who let the chili pepper in Zheng Ke's cooking make him so embarrassed?

Zheng Ke bit his lip and couldn't help laughing, "Teacher, this is my dish, sour and spicy squid rolls." ”

"I know......" Yebi glared at Zheng Ke, the dish that made him embarrassed twice in a row, of course he remembered it vividly. But......

When Nobi moved his gaze to the "Hot and Sour Squid Roll", his eyes were immediately attracted.

After the meat is hot, the squid is curled together, looking like light-colored pine cones, and the cut knife lines spread outward, like pine cones opening their scales. Red peppers, green peppers, pickled peppers and celery are matched with each other, and the spicy flavor stimulates the nose and whets the appetite.

Nobi put away his hostility, he was a chef before he became a teacher. Therefore, when it comes to food, you must have no distractions.
