Episode 10: Pasta
Ohtani's men removed cooking tools from the car, pots and pans, ingredients, and induction cookers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Scarface glanced at Fujii, saw that he bowed his head and was silent, thinking that he was a little timid, so he lowered his voice and said in his ear, "You can't be scared, right? The other party is just a child, don't let me look down on you." ”
"What are you kidding, I'm afraid of a child?" I just thought the red-haired male chef was familiar, and I couldn't remember where I had seen it for a while. ”
"The chef of a small restaurant is just a chef, I guess he has come to eat in our restaurant or seen it in the vegetable market. ”
"It's possible. ”
Fujii nodded perfunctorily, but he knew for himself that he had never been to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and that was what apprentices do.
"Hey, Xiao Ke, the chef on the other side is a graduate of Yuanyue Academy, so there won't be any problems, right?"
"It should be fine. ”
Zheng Ke smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't want to have a cooking competition with others. And the taste of Seiichiro and Kohei who suddenly made trouble is even more tricky, and if there is a slight flaw, it is likely to be infinitely magnified. But seeing the two worried old men, Zheng Ke could only comfort him a little.
Zheng Ke called up the recipes in the food system and flipped through them quickly. In fact, there are only five recipes in total, and it didn't take long to go through them, but because there were not enough ingredients, Zheng Ke didn't have a suitable pasta.
"TMD, you're playing with me again!"
If the "food system" can be concretized, Zheng Ke must slam it on the ground, and then rub it hard.
Is there a play like this? Other people's systems treat the master as a master, and it's good for himself, even if he wants to pretend to be a grandson, he won't agree, right?
Zheng Ke was discouraged, but when he saw the Baiyuan couple who had been busy, Zheng Ke slapped his face fiercely.
Relax, don't worry, think about what else you can do?
Looking at the ingredients he bought in the market today, Zheng Ke thought back to what he should cook.
Purple potatoes, pumpkin, chicken......
What can be done with these materials?
Zheng Ke went through the recipe given by the system again, and finally found a semi-finished product. It is said to be a semi-finished product, because it is limited by the limited ingredients to be tested, and only a part of the recipe can be made, and it is not possible to cook a complete dish. As for the rest of the part, Zheng Ke decided to use the recipes in the cooking books he saw in this world to deal with it.
(Just do it!)
After Zheng Ke cooked properly, he rolled up his sleeves, put on an apron, picked up a kitchen knife, quickly peeled the potatoes and pumpkin, and then quickly chopped them into crumbs with a knife.
In Zheng Ke's memory, the kitchen knife had never been so handy, almost just raised, and immediately cut down again. The potato and pumpkin strips land neatly on the other side.
Xingping looked at Zheng Ke with wide eyes, he didn't expect that this young man who was about the same age as him would have such excellent knife skills.
"Dad, what do you think of him?"
"It's okay, it's very young, and it's very promising in the future. ”
"I really want to have a showdown with him, I don't know if he has time. ”
"At least it's going to be hard today, right?"
Even if Zheng Ke wins in the end, he is probably not in the mood to compete with others again. Of course, there is still the possibility of defeat, so it may be even more unlucky.
Compared with Zheng Ke, Fujii's speed is even more exaggerated, the kitchen knife just touched the board, and was immediately lifted again, and the trajectory of the kitchen knife could hardly be seen, and the cut ingredients fell into the basket on one side in the same curve. Meanwhile, place the pasta in a pot with boiling water and turn to a boil. Experience and experience also became an advantage at this time.
As time passed, a fragrance emanated from the pot, and Fujii's cuisine was coming to an end. After mixing the pasta with the sauce and stir-frying, Fujii began to serve it.
"Three, please taste. This is shiso plum pasta. ”
The golden pasta is plated on a white plate, and the dark red sauce adheres to the pasta, making people have an inexplicable appetite. With a slightly sour aroma wafting into the nostrils, it arouses an unbounded appetite. The purple-green shiso (note) coils around the pasta in a filamentous shape, revealing a refreshing feeling in the heat.
The heat accompanied by the fragrance slowly rose, and Kohei, who was already hungry, couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the chopsticks and said, "I'm moving," and put the noodles in his mouth.
In an instant, a faint sour taste permeated his body, and the elastic noodles shook wildly in his mouth, like a smooth rope wrapped around his body, firmly binding him to the delicacy.
"It's delicious, and it's the most delicious noodle dish. This kind of sour taste makes people unable to extricate themselves and immerse themselves in it. I love this dish so much. ”
Ohtani's eyes narrowed, and the freshness of shiso and the sourness of pickled plums made him sink into it, unable to extricate himself. The impact of the two on the palate made Ohtani feel as if he was being blown by the sea breeze on a hot summer day.
He looked so confused that he forgot that he was in his chair at the moment, swaying from side to side wantonly. If it weren't for Scarface's quick eyes and quick eyes to stop him, it is estimated that Ohtani would have fallen off the chair.
"If it's not food, there's no food in the world. Otani said to Seiichiro and Kohei as he gulped down his pasta.
Seiichiro nodded politely and turned his gaze to Fujii.
"Excellent cooking, you can see that you are very attentive to cooking. ”
"Thanks for the compliment, as a chef, I want to keep going. ”
Fujii felt more and more familiar to Seiichiro, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"The difficulty with pasta is the cooking of the noodles and the sauces. Because spaghetti is harder, a lot of water is used when cooking noodles, because pasta is to be boiled before it is underneath, so if there is too little water, the water temperature will drop too quickly when it is underneath, which will affect its taste.
At the same time, a small amount of salt should be added to the boiling water, otherwise the salt will not be able to soak into the noodles and affect the taste of the pasta, and this will also make the noodles more elastic. Once the noodles are out of the water, they are stir-fried directly into the olive oil and sauce to keep the pasta at its best.
"In addition to this, the sauce is also very important. Chef Fujii uses shiso plum sauce. This sauce is slightly sour because of the presence of sour plums, which can enhance the appetite of diners, and at the same time, the shiso is refreshing and has an excellent taste, which is easy to arouse the favor of diners. Overall, it was a good dish. ”
Seiichiro said so much in a casual manner, it seems that he is analyzing the merits of this talent, but in fact, it is more like teaching Kohei how to make pasta.
Kohei kept nodding his head, wondering if he was going to try to make this dish when he went back.
Ohtani let out a long breath and patted his stomach in satisfaction, and the whole person collapsed on the chair.
Hunger boosts appetite the most. And now, Ohtani's stomach no longer has room for Zheng Ke's cooking, which means that no matter how delicious Zheng Ke's pasta is, it will not make him have any appetite.
