With the blessing of the second heart, Zheng Ke is indeed much better than before. Especially when balancing the relationship between ingredients and cooking skills, he feels that he is at ease, but Zheng Ke also knows that the more this time, the more he can't be in a hurry.

On the one hand, although Zheng Ke's basic skills have been trained for a week, some new techniques have not been fully mastered and require a certain amount of time to adapt, and on the other hand, the second heart has just been activated, and Zheng Ke has to slowly explore its functions.

Under the influence of these two factors, Zheng Ke must now be patient and find a way to enter the "realm".

In three hours, Zheng Ke made eight courses of mapo tofu in one go. Every time he was done, Zheng Ke had to pick up the spoon and taste it carefully, hoping to find a suitable method.

The spicy taste filled Zheng Ke's mouth, the scorching chili pepper stimulated the taste buds and secreted a lot of saliva, and the delicate and lubricated tofu was very elastic, and after the teeth chewed, the internal taste was also fragrant and delicious, and the spicy juice was mixed with the tofu, stimulating his appetite, making him eager to take a bite and eat the whole dish into his stomach.

After using the "tu", the mapo tofu bursts out with an attractive flavor, which is far richer than the dishes he has cooked before.

Zheng Ke sent another spoonful of mapo tofu into his mouth, a kind of fragrant hemp that soaked into people's hearts, instantly crushing his defense.

The appropriate cooking method has greatly improved the quality of the dishes, coupled with the concentration of the ingredients and the addition of the "Heart of God", so that Zheng Ke can hardly find the shortcomings of this dish, and there is also a large blank in the cooking notes, and he has not given an evaluation.

Every time Zheng Ke tastes a bite, the spicy taste composed of peppercorns and chili peppers becomes more and more intense, and the smooth and delicate taste of the tofu itself becomes more and more prominent. What shocked Zheng Ke even more was that the pleasure caused by the scorching heat made him unable to control the spoon in his hand, and ate the whole plate of mapo tofu in his mouth in one go.

This feeling began to appear on the fourth plate of mapo tofu, and reached its peak in the seventh and eighth courses, when the fragrance of Sichuan pepper, chili pepper, tofu and other ingredients was stronger than the "heart of the gods", as if it was about to tear people's hearts.

Zheng Ke unbuttoned his neckline, and sweat still remained along his cheeks.

If you haven't tasted "realm" cuisine, Zheng Ke may really think that this is the state of "realm". But the reality is not so simple.

Whether it is Si Yingshi or Catherine, in addition to their own characteristics, their dishes also have a sense of peace from the heart, and the combination of various ingredients is in a state of complementarity, rather than being too sharp like this dish.

But at this point, Zheng Ke is not in a hurry, he is now very close to the "realm", and he can break into the door at any time - he only needs to find where the door is now.

Suddenly, the mobile phone placed on the table behind him rang, Zheng Ke turned around, picked up the phone, glanced at the name on the screen, and found that it was Catherine.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Zheng Ke asked curiously.

"Huh? no...... I just want to ...... Ahem, how are you doing now?" asked Catherine curiously.

"It's okay, I'm practicing now. Zheng Ke said simply.

"Practice what?" Catherine curious.

"Cooking...... The qualifying tournament for prestigious schools is about to start, and I have to work hard. Zheng Ke said with a smile.

"Oh oh......" Catherine suddenly remembered about it, "I actually forgot about it, and it's good that you don't play against us." ”

"You know, so fast?" Zheng Ke said in surprise.

"Teacher Marcus is back, and a few people in the third grade seem to know. Catherine explained.

Already back?

Zheng Ke scratched his head, he knew that it was useless for Marcus to continue to stay here, and Lanji, as the organizer of the competition, was definitely preparing for the competition now.

Mr. Marcus said that because he was going to shoot a promotional video, the contestants had to arrive early. Catherine admonished.

"Don't worry, I'll be there before February 20th. ”

After all, you also have to take the entrance exam of Lanji. However, make a promotional video...... Zheng Ke is really indifferent to these things.

"That's right...... I want to ask you one thing. ”

"Huh?"

"In the dishes, the harmony between the various ingredients is ...... How did you do that?" asked Zheng Ke.

"Ahh Catherine explained.

Sure enough, there is not much difference between saying and not saying.

"That's what I do...... Why does it always feel like it doesn't taste right?" Zheng Ke was full of doubts.

There was silence on the phone, and Zheng Ke sighed helplessly, could it really be that there was no solution.

After about two or three minutes, Catherine still didn't speak, and Zheng Ke was about to give up, but at this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from the phone.

"But if you want to focus on the harmony of the ingredients, you are sure that you are doing the right thing?" said Catherine's voice, a little confused.

"Eh......"

Zheng Ke blinked, and his brain immediately recalled his previous cooking process, and suddenly brightened, "I know...... There may be a drama ......"

"What?"

"It's okay, thank you. I hung up the phone first...... By the way, see you on the exam. Zheng Ke said excitedly.

"Oh. Catherine didn't have time to ask for details when she heard a "beep" on the phone.

She pursed her lips and glanced at the date on her phone, February 8, and her mood suddenly improved again.

After Catherine's reminder, Zheng Ke found another place that could be improved, or rather, this problem is most likely the key to the problem.

The essence of "realm" is to "communicate" with the ingredients, so that the cuisine can achieve a state of harmony.

Catherine's "heart of God" is already good at controlling ingredients, so it is a very natural thing for her to reconcile ingredients.

But Zheng Ke is good at improving the concentration of cooking, focusing on cooking, the taste of the cooking will be highlighted, occupy the taste buds of diners, the taste of each ingredient is outstanding, but the harmony between the ingredients is affected.

Even if there is a bonus of "two hearts" now, when facing the ingredients, it still follows the pattern of the heart of God, which leads to the harmony between the ingredients, which is not obvious.

However, now that you've figured out what the problem is, let's test your mind?

Zheng Ke took out a piece of tofu from the refrigerator and put it on the cutting board, and at the same time, the kitchen knife in his hand also fell at a very fast speed.
