"Senior, I've heard that tofu used to be a very high-end ingredient in Japan, but it only gradually entered the lives of ordinary people, so please don't use the word 'low-grade' to describe tofu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Moreover, since it is a high-end ingredient, how can an ordinary restaurant bring out its true charm?"

Zheng Ke squinted his eyes and looked at the gate Xia Wu.

"This ...... Of course I know this, and I don't need to say anything about it. ”

The gate looked panicked, picked up the spoon on the tray, scooped out a piece of tofu, only to find that the tofu in the spoon shook from side to side, very elastic, like jelly.

Shapel and Erina were also slightly surprised when they saw this scene, which seemed to be slightly different from the mapo tofu they knew.

Daimon is extremely curious and can't wait to know the taste of mapo tofu.

After biting into the tofu, all the flavors inside were released, the spicy instantly filled the whole body, the tongue was even more numb, and the body was about to burn, and all the seawater was released. But...... But......

It's really delicious!

The gate burst into tears, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

(Is it so delicious?ahem...... No, you have to be firm in your faith and not be tempted. ）

Just as Erina muttered in her heart, Chapel also put tofu in her mouth. The fluffy tofu and the juice of fragrant hemp made every pore of Chapelle's body bloom. After biting into the tofu, the spicy taste makes the tongue not obey. He seemed to be lying alone on the grassland, and the sun was shining warmly on him.

It's just that feeling – crispy.

"Teacher, is his food really that delicious?" said Scarlet in surprise.

She had also eaten mapo tofu and didn't think it was any different from other dishes.

Charpell didn't answer Scarlet, but set his eyes on Erina's body, "Miss Erina, you can also taste it." ”

Although Erina is only a student of the middle school, her strength has surpassed some lecturers in the Far Moon School Park, especially her sense of taste, which is far beyond the average person, coupled with a deep understanding of cooking and strong judgment, so that her strength has been recognized by the teachers of the whole school. It is even rumored that in the next "Ten Masterpieces", there must be Erina's name.

The next year?Erina Nagikiri is only 15 years old yet......

So, when the school sent her as a judge to assist Chapelle, Chapel really let out a long breath.

Erina clenched her fists and remained silent, and after fighting in her heart for a long time, she picked up the spoon unwillingly.

(Regardless of the outcome, this man's cooking will never be recognized, and it will never be ...... ）

Erina swore in her heart that as soon as the spoon was tilted, the tofu had already followed the lubricated spoon into her mouth, and the spicy sensation instantly stimulated her nerves. The soft tofu is elastic, and when it is broken, the unique spiciness of the peppercorns makes it difficult for Erina to extricate herself.

The characteristics of spicy tofu are vividly reflected in this dish.

(Damn...... How so...... ）

Erina bit her lip tightly, her face crimson, and she tried her best to endure it, not wanting to let her excitement come out. But the impact of good food can't be masked. At this moment, she felt as if her whole body was being scratched by countless pairs of small hands, and the numbness was mixed with heat, and a slight muttering sound came from her mouth.

Erina's face turned red instantly, and even though no one around could hear her, Erina already felt that it was a shame.

(Damn bastard, I'm definitely not going to let you go...... Oops, patronizing and eating, I forgot to judge. ）

Erina hurriedly ate another piece of tofu, and the previous taste shock still did not subside. However, this time, Erina did not indulge in the temptation of food, and after a little thought, the various ingredients in the food came to mind one by one.

(This texture of tofu ...... ）

"The reason why tofu can taste is because of the ground meat, right?" Erina looked at Zheng Ke who was standing in front of her.

"Ground meat?" Scarlet Sand looked at the mapo tofu on the plate in confusion, and sure enough, he found a little minced meat on the surface of the tofu.

Zheng Ke was slightly stunned,

First of all, when he made this dish, he used boiling salt water to remove the fishy smell of the tofu, and soaked it in water to increase the elasticity of the tofu, so even if the silk tofu was used, it did not appear loose, and the delicate taste of the silk tofu was also retained; ”

Scarlet Shazi was reminded by Erina, and immediately understood, and the candidates who had not yet left also exclaimed.

"I see, why didn't I think of it?"

"If I had known in advance that there would be this way to taste, I would never have been eliminated. ”

"Damn, is he really an apprentice? a regular student of the Far Moon Academy is nothing more than that, right?"

At the end of the exam, the candidates talked about Zheng Ke as a method used in mapo tofu.

There's nothing peculiar about soaking tofu in boiling brine to remove the beans, but few people think of neutralizing the saltiness of the tofu with ground meat.

"In addition, this dish also added watercress to it, but he also removed the bean from the watercress as well, I wonder how you did it. Erina set her eyes on Zheng Ke.

(There is even a method that Miss Erina doesn't know?)

Zheng Ke, who was surprised by Xinhu Scarlet, didn't expect this bastard to have his own talent in cooking.

Zheng Ke blinked, looking confused. To be honest, he really didn't know why, he just followed the recipes and steps given by the "food system" to make the dishes, and he didn't think about the principle clearly. At this moment, the voice of the system sounded in the brain again. Zheng Ke could only answer Erina's question based on this voice: "The method is actually very simple, one word, fry." ”

"Stir-fry?"

Chapelle frowned, his face full of doubt. Most of his studies are Western cuisine, and he has little knowledge of Eastern cuisine, especially Chinese cuisine, so he doesn't quite understand what Zheng Ke means.

"That's right, it's fried. Put the chopped tofu into the oil pan and stir-fry until the red oil is fried, at this time the bean paste will not have the beany smell, and then put the tofu into the pot to cook, add the sauce to thicken twice, so that the seasoning can adhere to the tofu. Zheng Ke said according to the system's voice.

"And hemp...... What kind of hemp is this, so that my tongue is really ...... It was numb, but it aroused my palate. None of the mapo tofu I've ever eaten have this condiment. Chapelle asked.

"It's peppercorns. Japanese mapo tofu is less spicy and more sweet, and it is rarely used with Sichuan peppercorns. It's just that his peppercorn powder has a more numb flavor than the peppercorn powder bought on the market, and it also has a slight bitterness in the peppercorn powder. Erina explained.

"Bitterness, is there a bitter taste?" Damen immediately took another bite of mapo tofu, tasted it carefully, and sure enough, there was a very faint bitter taste in the spicy.

Zheng Ke looked at Erina dumbfounded, he didn't expect this woman's taste to be so sensitive, and he actually noticed that he added other condiments to the peppercorns, and the amount was quite small, could this be the "Tongue of God"?

Erina saw Zheng Ke looking at her intently, her face was slightly red, and she remembered the scene that happened in the bathroom not long ago, and immediately became angry again, and her pretty face turned elsewhere.

(This bastard actually made such a dish...... It's disgusting!)

Erina burrowed into her fist, eager to tear Zheng Ke to shreds immediately.

"Ahem......" Zheng Ke also found Erina's unnaturalness, and while covering up his embarrassment with a cough, he explained, "In order to ensure the taste of Sichuan peppercorns, I did not use the peppercorn powder sold in the market, but heated it in the microwave oven and processed it myself." In order to enhance the flavor of Sichuan peppercorns, I added some green Sichuan peppercorns to it, and the slight bitterness you mentioned should come from green Sichuan peppercorns. ”

"There are so many details in a dish of mapo tofu?"

"It's up to you again, well, how nice it would have been if you had known these things before the exam?"

"But, do you see, the golden minced meat and green onions reflect each other, and they are paired next to the tofu, oops, I really can't stand it. ”

"If you want to eat, go back and make your own. I don't believe it, I can't make such a dish. ”

The students whispered, but Zheng Ke's heart had already risen to his throat, and from beginning to end, his eyes never left Erina, because he knew that compared to the gate and Chapelle, Erina's opinion was the most important, after all, behind her stood the commander of the Far Moon School - the "Demon Eater" Nagi Senzaemon.

Daimon, Chapelle, and Erina exchanged opinions with each other, and an argument broke out between them, and the voices grew louder.

"Anyway, based on the fact that this dish is a little old and doesn't make a visual impact, it doesn't even give me the feeling that it is as good as the garbage spinach tofu, and I don't think it's a good dish. Erina crossed her arms over her chest and said categorically.

"Against, this dish made me feel the heaviness of Chinese cuisine, even a traditional dish like mapo tofu can make people shine, no, this delicious food is comparable to other top dishes. The gate roared.

"Then the top cuisine in your heart is too cheap. Erina scoffed at the gate's answer.

"You ......" the door immediately stood up from the stand, hands lined up on the table.

"Why, are you not satisfied?" asked Erina, looking up at the gate with contempt and contempt at the gate that was a head taller than herself.

Chappel, who was sitting in the middle, couldn't stand it, and tapped the table and said, "Enough, it's all quiet." Don't let anyone else see the joke, what would you be like like that?"

"Teacher, do you say he passed or failed?" said Daimon and Erina in unison.

Chapel suddenly became the focus of everyone,Among this batch of candidates,Whether anyone can have a transfer student successfully admitted to Yuanyue School Park,It depends on whether Zheng Ke can get Chapelle's vote。

At this moment, the air seemed to be condensed, and Zheng Ke could sincerely hear his heart pounding. Chapel himself was deep in thought, savoring the dish of "mapo tofu".

The spicy spicy mapo tofu is still stuck in the mouth, and the delicate and smooth but not loose tofu is also unforgettable. This kind of cooking is enough to enter the Far Moon School Garden.。

"TBD. I'll judge when I get back. ”

Erina and Damen's faces all sank, and Charpelle's words were equivalent to living in a thin mud, temporarily shelving Zheng Ke's results. Therefore, both of them were not satisfied with the answer given by Chapelle, and were about to continue to ask, but the two looked at each other, and then turned their heads angrily, thinking that when there was no one, they would talk to Mr. Chapel about it.

Zheng Ke thought that he could be admitted to Yuanyue School Park with "Mapo Tofu", but now it seems that whether he can be admitted to the academy is not certain, and he is inevitably a little frustrated. And the initiator of all this, Erina Nagikiri, glared at Zheng Ke fiercely.

The other candidates were equally frustrated, and if more than a hundred people couldn't even get in, then their faces would not be bright.

However,Exams are exams,Especially the exams in the Far Moon School Park,No candidate can disobey the opinion of the examiner.。

The only gain may be that Sanada chooses to admit defeat after eating "Mapo Tofu", right? But if Zheng Ke can't be admitted to Yuanyue Academy, even if he wins this bet, it seems to be useless.

Faced with such a result, Zheng Ke could only shrug his shoulders and smiled helplessly.
