CH.23 Buckle three wires

After ten minutes, Zheng Ke lifted the lid of the pot, took out the small bowl containing the three ingredients, put it on the plate, put the chicken soup in the salt, and then poured it into the bowl along the wall of the bowl, and finally opened the small bowl.

"Master Hirata, Senior Shinomiya, please taste this Chinese cuisine and buckle three threads!"

Shredded ham, shredded chicken breast, and shredded bamboo shoots are three silky ingredients that intertwine each other, topped with dark brown shiitake mushroom slices, and light chicken broth on the outside.

The three filamentous ingredients have clear textures, but they are integrated, which makes people feel indescribably shocking. The pale yellow chicken broth surrounds the bowl-shaped three threads, and the fragrance continues to enter the nose.

"Buckle three wires?"

Hirata Wang was surprised, it was hard to think that this dish was made by Zheng Ke, but the whole dish, from the selection of ingredients to the final baking, he watched Zheng Ke with his own eyes, and made the whole dish step by step.

Nozomi Hirata licked his lips, picked up the chopsticks, and gently picked up the shredded chicken, each of which was as thick as a hair's hair. The knives are neatly made, and the thickness of each one is almost the same.

After eating, the shredded meat almost melted. In the mouth, with the stirring of the tongue, the deliciousness of the chicken spreads to the mouth.

Chicken, bamboo shoots, and ham are three ingredients that are steamed and boiled, and the flavors of each other penetrate and blend together.

Nozomi Hirata took another bite of shredded ham. The ham is bright in color, the fat is fragrant but not greasy, the lean meat is fragrant and sweet, and then it is permeated with a crisp and refreshing taste of winter bamboo shoots...... This combination makes people feel indescribably comfortable.

"Cutting the ingredients so finely is susceptible to heat, and if you're not careful, you might miss out on the best taste of the whole dish. However, this dish not only brings out the characteristics of the ingredients to achieve the ultimate in taste and texture, but also controls the heat just right, that is, the richness of the chicken, the salty and delicious taste of the ham, and the tenderness and crispness of the bamboo shoots...... These ingredients, where they are most delicious, are displayed on the plate.

"Chinese cuisine pays attention to knife work, and this dish requires very fine ingredients, the three ingredients are required to be the same length and thickness. That's why it can be integrated, delicate and tidy. Well...... Overall, your knife skills are excellent. ”

Kojiro Shinomiya frowned slightly, reminiscing about the taste of the food, and after swallowing it, the salty and delicious taste still remained in his mouth for a long time.

"You should be one of the Ten Masters of the Far Moon, right?"

"The fifth seat of the Ten Masters. ”

"Second year of school?" Kojiro Shinomiya hurriedly asked.

"Yes. Zheng Ke nodded.

"No wonder ......" Kojiro Shinomiya bowed slightly, suddenly realized.

Absolon was obviously also frightened by Zheng Ke's cooking, if it wasn't for the fact that Master Hirata was here, he would definitely come forward and ask Zheng Ke how to train to make this dish.

Catherine was also a little surprised, but quickly came to her senses, looked at Nozomi Hirata, whose eyes were full of passion, and couldn't help but shake her head.

Grandpa, when we first came, you didn't have that attitude.

"Grandpa Hirata, what do you think of Zheng Ke's knife work?" Catherine asked.

"It's okay. Hirata retracted his eyes and looked at Catherine, "His advantage is just youth...... I've seen too many people who are better at knives than him, and he's not on the list. ”

In this sentence, Hirata Nozomi did not lie. His understanding of cuisine may not be as good as that of some good chefs, but because of his profession, he has come into contact with many famous chefs, including many three-star chefs. Therefore, he has seen chefs whose knife skills are even better than Zheng Ke, and there are quite a few of them.

But as Nozomi Hirata said, Zheng Ke's advantage is that he is young – as long as he is young, everything is possible.

What's more, this buckle three wires, in addition to the superb knife work, the taste is also very delicious, even if he has eaten many chefs' dishes, but this dish still makes him remember deeply.

"You come with me. Hirata Wang pointed at Zheng Ke and said, then turned around and called a servant, "You lead them to the living room to rest first." ”

Zheng Ke was slightly stunned, and instantly understood that Hirata Wang was going to make a kitchen knife for him, and immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly followed behind Hirata Wang.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that I don't make my own kitchen knives anymore. Hirata looked back and said.

"Huh, what about that...... Those people, they ...... There are also seniors from the four palaces, and there are other chefs, and their kitchen knives are ......," Zheng Ke said hesitantly.

"Their current kitchen knives are all made by my disciples, and I am only responsible for overseeing the work. Nozomi Hirata said.

Zheng Ke's heart suddenly had mixed feelings, and he didn't know what to say, but it was more regretful.

"However, this time I will make an exception and personally make you a set of kitchen knives, this set of knives is very likely to be the only set I have built for you, so you must cherish it. Nozomi Hirata said.

"Eh, is this really okay?" Zheng Ke was a little unsure.

"Hmm...... Thank you for those words. However, it's been a long time since I've made a kitchen knife myself, and I don't know how much I have left. Hirata's eyes narrowed, "By the way, after graduation, will you come to Paris? ”

"However, what I specialize in is Chinese cuisine, and it may be difficult for French cuisine to make a name for itself here. Zheng Ke sneered.

"Then open a Chinese restaurant, Paris is very big here, come and have a look, it will help to improve the level. Hirata said casually.

Zheng Ke nodded, in fact, after graduation, where he would go, he still hadn't thought about it, Paris might be a place to consider.

While chatting, the two walked into a study. There is a row of bookcases on the wall, and on top of the bookcases, there are countless scrolls.

Hirata asked Zheng Ke to fill out the form, which was basically some basic content, such as which hand to use the knife, the habit of using the knife, the type of kitchen knife he liked, and so on.

"By the way, how many knives do you want? The price of each knife varies, but the approximate price of a knife is 500,000 yen. Nozomi Hirata said.

“5…… 500,000 yuan?" Zheng Ke was so excited when he heard this price that he almost broke the form, this price is too expensive, right?

"Master...... How many do you think it's appropriate for me to custom?" Zheng Ke's forehead was already sweating.

"I want you to customize six or seven, but, estimated that your current financial situation, it is more than enough to come up with this money. So, just make a kitchen knife or two that you use regularly. ”

Zheng Ke pondered for a moment and said, "If you don't want a master, I will order three, willow blades, Western food knives, and slice knives." However, I don't have that much cash right now, and it may take two days to get it to you. ”

In fact, strictly speaking, a slice knife is enough. But when dealing with some relatively small ingredients, Western knives are more convenient, as for the willow blade, to be honest, he doesn't use too much, but to make sashimi, it's best to have a willow blade at hand, you can't borrow a kitchen knife from someone else every time you make sashimi, right?

As for the money for making knives, the funds applied for this trip to Europe are about 600,000 yen, plus the money he saved, which is not enough, so he can only borrow some money from Uetian Wu first, and then ask him to deduct it directly from the dividends of Junketing.

"Okay...... However, please don't delay it too long. Nozomi Hirata advised.

Absolon and Catherine ate a few bites of the maid's cooking, and chatted with Kojiro Shinomiya for a while, and then Shinomiya chose to leave because there was still something to do in the store. It didn't take long for Zheng Ke and Hirata Wang to rush over.

Zheng Ke can be described as a mixed bag, happy because he finally has a set of kitchen knives that satisfies him, unhappy because he lost a lot of money, and his kitchen knives can only be made after a month. In the end, Zheng Ke had to leave the address of Polestar Liao, and asked Hirata Wang to mail it to him after he finished making the knife.
