CH.75 Five-Flavor Chicken Thighs
Eddie and Romon sat at the table, looking at each other boredly, until the waiter brought their dishes to the restaurant when there were more and more customers.
"Both, your dishes have arrived. The waiter gently placed a dish on the table for two.
Just like the previous dish, this dish is also chicken, but it has a completely different feeling for two people.
The chicken in the dish was chopped, but it was still a whole chicken, and the chicken in this dish was four chicken legs. Other than that, if there's anything else that's special, it's the red sauce that drizzles over the chicken thighs.
The two of them glanced at each other, and there was an indescribable frustration in their hearts, it turned out that they had waited for so long, and they had only waited for four chicken legs, although after pouring the sauce, the taste of the whole dish was also very good, but-
Let's not talk about the taste, the quantity is too small, right?
At this time, Zheng Ke also came out of the kitchen and came to the side of the two people.
"Two, how about this dish?" Zheng Ke asked curiously.
Eddie frowned and asked Zheng Ke, "What's the name of your dish?"
"Five-flavor chicken thighs. Zheng Ke explained.
"Which five flavors?" Eddie asked rhetorically.
"This ...... If you taste it, won't you know?" Zheng Ke said with a smile.
Eddie glanced at Zheng Ke dissatisfied, picked up the knife and fork, and prepared to cut the chicken leg in front of him.
"Wait, sir, this chicken thigh, if cut with a knife, may be lacking in taste. Zheng Ke hurriedly stopped.
"How do you eat, then?" asked Add, looking up.
"Hold it in your hand and eat it. Zheng Ke explained simply.
"It's too rude to hold it in your hands!" Eddie glared at Zheng Ke.
"If you want to taste the best side of this dish, take it and eat it. If you feel like you'd rather use a knife and fork, I don't care. Zheng Ke put his hands behind his back with a light smile on his face.
Add bit his lip, and his handsome face contorted. After thinking about it again and again, he still chose to follow Zheng Ke's advice.
No matter what, Zheng Ke is also the chef of this dish, and his cooking of this dish surpasses that of most people.
He picked up a chicken leg, dipped it in the sauce on the plate, and took a light bite, his mind went blank, and there was only one word, which was remembered in his mind - delicious!
The previous dish Eddie already thought was outstanding, however, after trying a bite of the chicken thigh, his taste buds couldn't contain the other flavors - he was completely immersed in the dish in front of him.
Fragrant, spicy, sour, sweet, salty.
The five flavors, as he chewed, quickly spread out in his mouth, carrying different delicacies, gradually came together to form a gastronomic tornado.
Under the impact of this deliciousness, it is difficult for anyone not to lose themselves, especially since the carrier of this gastronomic tornado is the fragrant chicken thighs.
The fragrant chicken thighs melt in your mouth without chewing. The crispy and tender chicken thigh meat also made him taste the charm of chicken thighs.
It was only then that he realized why the little chef in front of him didn't recommend cutting it with a knife and eating it piece by piece - the explosive taste of swallowing the chicken thigh in one bite was incomparable to that of thinly sliced chicken.
Eddie ate a chicken leg in one go, and picked up a napkin to wipe the grease from the corner of his mouth.
Romon sitting across from him was dumbfounded, he hadn't seen Eddie so indulged in food for a while.
"Taste...... How's it going?" Romon looked up at Add.
"Excellent...... It's excellent. A layer of redness appeared on Eddie's fair skin, "This deliciousness is even better than the chicken dish just now." ”
Romon was stunned for a moment, looked at the three chicken legs left on the plate, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.
"The chicken is crispy, but the soup and gravy are delicious. After entering the mouth, the crispy chicken quickly moves away, and the mellow flavor of the chicken and the richness of the soup gradually spread in the mouth. Even if the chicken is already immersed in the mouth, there is still a feeling of unfinished business.
"The sauce is also very tasty, mashed potatoes, tomato paste, and it seems to have the taste of curry powder, and it is mixed with sugar, salt, and stock, and it is put in a pot and slowly boiled together. After thickening the starch, the flavor of the whole dish tends to be perfect. Eddie licked his lips, but his face was full of happiness.
Is it really that delicious?
Luo Meng looked at the chicken thighs on the plate in front of him, and he was also a little moved. However, before he could react, Eddie had already picked up the second chicken leg, and after taking a bite, his face was full of happiness again.
Romon blinked, quickly coming to his senses. He also disregarded his image and picked up a chicken leg.
At the moment when the chicken was eaten, it was as if several arrows passed through his heart.
The impact of this dish on him was unstoppable – it was a fatal blow.
At this moment, he also felt Eddie's feelings just now, if he hadn't seen Zheng Ke cook in front of him, he would have found it hard to believe that these two dishes were from the hands of the young man in front of him.
The confidence and pride revealed in the dishes are something that most chefs can't have.
When he came to his senses, he unexpectedly found that the plate in front of him was empty.
"Huh?" Romon looked up, only to see Eddie holding a napkin and wiping his lips.
He was in no mood to eat—in fact, there was nothing to eat—and he picked up a napkin and wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth.
"You just came to France?" Eddie asked Zheng Ke.
"About twenty days. Zheng Ke thought about it and said.
"How many years have you been cooking?"
"Huh?"
Zheng Ke really has to think about it, he has only been in this world for two years, counting the system bonus, well, add another three years?
"Probably...... Five or six years, right?"
Zheng Ke scratched his head embarrassedly.
The eyes of the two suddenly lit up, and Eddie became even more interested.
"How about we make a deal?" asked Add.
"What deal?" Zheng Ke looked at Eddie puzzled.
"I knew someone at the most famous blue school in Paris. If you can cook me a western meal and it satisfies me, I can recommend you to them. Of course, it's just a recommendation, and whether you can enter or not depends on your own strength. Eddie said with interest.
Ha?
Zheng Ke didn't know how to answer Eddie.
He was now waiting for Lan Ji's notice, and if Eddie recommended him to Lan Ji again, he would go around quite a circle and stand still again.
"Well, sir, I don't have any plans to cook Western food for the time being, if I have the opportunity in the future, I can try it once. Zheng Ke took a deep breath and tried to maintain his inner peace.
