Chapter 261: Source Cuisine
Since the last time he cooked with "Shu Han Old Noodles" at the "Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Competition", this is the second time that Liu Pleiades has encountered ingredients with his own "cooking heart", and some similarities and differences between the two times can't help but make him have a guess, if it can really be realized......
"Why else should I learn the heart of the kitchen myself?"
"Huh? What are you muttering? Erina wondered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the eel banquet has ended, and after Liu Pleiades finally used the ingredients of the "Central Food Agency" to cook the last batch of eel meat, some guests are still reluctant, but Liu Pleiades still refused to continue cooking, but finally ensured that everyone had at least one ......
Of course, what Liu Pleiades didn't say was that in fact, he also "hidden" a piece of eel meat strips, and was going to give everyone a taste after he went back.
Now I'm on my way back to the hotel with Erina......
Scarlet Sand and Yu Mei still stayed at the branch after the eel feast, taking care of some finishing touches.
At this time, the guests were obviously optimistic about the former between the "Far Moon Academy" and the "Central Food Agency".
It's true that few of these people are directors of Engetsu Academy, but since they were invited by Reiko Hiroi, they are definitely all people in the culinary world who have a certain influence in Hokkaido.
Originally, she wanted to take the opportunity to increase the influence of the "Central Food Agency", but in the end, she lifted a stone to shoot herself in the foot and spent tens of millions of dollars to advertise for Yuanyue Academy...... Of course, the money spent is also from the Yuanyue Group, but if it weren't for Reiko Hiroi holding this kind of goal, she wouldn't have mixed it up with the auction.
I don't know if they will be blamed by Nagi for this kind of "non-war fault", but it is estimated that Nagi will not give Reiko Hiroi who provoked this matter a good face......
Erina is obviously in a good mood, and Liu Pleiades's "Silver Dragon Meat" before also shocked Liu Pleiades' cooking skills again, and she also asked him where the "Kitchen Heart" was copied this time.
Liu Pleiades also told Erina about the "giant eel meat" that came with a kitchen, and made Erina also find out what he seemed to be thinking about along the way......
"Still thinking about the fact that Yinlong ** has a 'kitchen heart'? This kind of ingredient may not be encountered several times in a person's life, do you need to think about it so much? Erina wondered.
"It's nothing, it's just a little concerned, I'll ask someone at night......" Liu Yuexing himself didn't know if his guess was correct, so he didn't say much.
"Marui from the Classical Cuisine Society?" Erina felt that none of the people from the Far Moon Academy seemed to be able to tutor Liu Pleiades in cooking, but the people of the Classical Cuisine Research Society liked to browse some records of ancient cuisine, and maybe there were some things that Liu Pleiades didn't know.
"No, it's not from Togetsu Academy, and it's not in Hokkaido."
Erina glanced at him suspiciously, then squinted her eyes and said, "It's a woman!" ”
"Hmm...... Well? How do you know? ”
"Guess! Rest early in the evening, tomorrow morning we will leave for the next stop! Erina snorted.
Liu Pleiades glanced at her inexplicably, and said secretly: Could it be that Erina knew that I was in contact with Liu Pleiades, so she was angry? Is the relationship between the two families so bad?
didn't know that Erina was just a little unhappy, Liu Pleiades just called women other than himself at night, even if he knew that it was a serious matter, he was a little surprised......
However, there was no brutal stopping, after all, the arrogant mode was for outsiders, and intellectually she also knew that Liu Pleiades was there to answer her doubts.
After returning to the hotel, Liu Pleiades asked Erina to bring the eel meat in the incubator to everyone, and it has basically been cooked, but it has not been cut yet, as long as it is poured with clear soup, it is the authentic "silver dragon meat".
But he returned to the room and dialed Liu Yuyuan's phone.
"Hey, who's ......?"
"I'm Liu Pleiades, you can't have slept already, right?" Liu Yuexing heard the lazy voice, and if he was still in good spirits, it was impossible not to see the call prompt, right?
"Not asleep yet...... Tell me something! Liu Yuyuan deliberately raised the tone a few times, as if to make himself sober.
"You usually go to bed so early? Or is it 'on a business trip' again? Liu Pleiades wondered.
The end of the dinner was half past nine, and it was just after ten o'clock, considering that the time on Liu Yuyuan's side was still an hour slow, it should be just over nine o'clock now...... For modern people, elementary school students rarely go to bed so early, right?
"On a business trip? What am I doing on a business trip...... You wouldn't call at night just to ask this, would you? Liu Yuyuan said dissatisfiedly.
Only then did I remember that Liu Pleiades may have classified the last time she went to Yuanyue Academy as a "business trip".
"Just curious, there's one more thing I want to ask you......"
"Going to bed early and waking up early is an important way to adjust the 'balance' of the cook! Cooking is also a process of achieving a balance between ingredients through various means, and the more perfectly balanced, the more delicious the result...... Of course, the chef must also be in a state of balance!
So we've gotten through the very beginning, and the people who need to get up early and stay up late for fatigue study generally go to bed early and wake up early when there is no special evening feast! Of course, when there is a special dinner, we can also regulate our biological clock. Liu Yuyuan explained.
"Ahem, I'm just asking casually, I don't have to answer in such detail." Liu Pleiades said that you said a big push, I didn't understand much!
In short, it should also be some kind of ancient style cooking practice that has been passed down in the Liu family......
At the beginning, I did a lot of fatigue exercises every day, and I basically didn't have much time to sleep every day, and after passing this stage, I started to go to bed early and get up early every day......
"It's okay, I'll hang ......up," Liu Yuyuan's eyes rolled as if they were about to pass along the phone line.
"Wait, wait, and get down to business...... That one...... Did you know that in addition to instilling the will in the cooking, there is also the will of the ingredients themselves that can influence the cooking? Liu Pleiades asked.
"The will of the ingredients themselves? Do you mean 'source cuisine'? Where did you know that? Did he succeed? It doesn't make sense......" Liu Yuyuan hurriedly asked.
Although there were a few words of self-talk in the back, which made Liu Pleiades a little concerned, but seeing that Liu Pleiades, or the Liu family, really knew about the relevant things, and even named this phenomenon, he immediately told the situation he encountered, and asked about Liu Pleiades.
"Shu Han old noodles and giant eels...... Well, I see, you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to cook with these ingredients that are best suited for 'source cuisine', and I've never seen them a few times. Liu Yuyuan looked like his three views were stable again.
"Can you tell me what 'Source Cuisine' is?"
"Actually, as you think, some ingredients can easily stimulate their own will, and if the cooking method is right and just right, the will of the ingredients themselves will be channeled into the dish...... Like the effect of the kitchen's heart, only one comes from the cook, and the other comes from the ingredients.
According to the ancient cuisine, the will that originates from the ingredients is more pure, so this type of cooking is also called 'source cuisine', and the will of the ingredients is called 'source'. …… However, it is unbelievable that Master Xie would lend you 'Shu Han Old Noodles', which is now recognized as the easiest ingredient to guide the 'source'! ”
"Master Xie? It turns out that his old man's surname is Jie? ”
“……”
Although Liu Pleiades didn't know the true identity of the "Turtle Immortal", but after hearing Liu Pleiades's description, Liu Pleiades knew that it must be his old man, and it was precisely because of this that she felt strange, Master Xie actually lent the old noodles to an unknown cook, although that thing is a renewable resource, and it can be continuously spawned with a piece of introduction, but it is not something that can be borrowed at will, right?
At the same time, Liu Pleiades seemed to agree with Liu Yuyuan's description of "Shu Han Old Noodles", when he used the "White Dragon Snake Transformation" and noodles, he vaguely felt the "source" in the "Shu Han Old Noodles", and the "giant eel" was guided out when the cooking was almost completed......
Of course, the will of this ingredient is only for the "ingredients", not for the living beings, and it is not for the ghost of the giant eel, but for the "giant eel meat".
At this time, Liu Pleiades also asked what he wanted to verify the most: "Just now you said that 'Shu Han old noodles' are the 'easiest' ingredients for source cooking, that is to say, there are many ingredients that can be used for 'source cooking'?" ”
Liu Yuyuan hesitated for a moment and said: "That's right, a lot of ......" seems to have some unfinished meaning.
"Is it theoretically possible to use all ingredients?" Liu Pleiades asked.
"How do you know?" Liu Yuyuan was shocked.
Really! Liu Pleiades had been thinking about this matter before, because if the "source" of "Shu Han Old Noodles" was used by the Luo family from generation to generation, and the aftersound appeared, then why did the giant eel meat also have this property?
Is the giant eel a sperm? Liu Pleiades felt that this was unscientific...... Although there are many unscientific things, Liu Pleiades feels that this matter is particularly unscientific!
Moreover, the difficulty of stimulating the "source" of the two ingredients is obviously different, which also made Liu Pleiades almost instinctively think, could it be that the special feature of "giant eel meat" is only that it is "easier to excite the source" rather than "having the source"?
Liu Pleiades said the reason for his guess, and at the same time asked Liu Pleiades about the "source cuisine".
"Actually, I also read from the ancestors' codex, theoretically all ingredients can be used for source cooking, but it is very difficult for ordinary ingredients to stimulate the 'source', even more difficult than mastering the kitchen......
At the beginning, the Liu family was also keen on the pursuit of 'source' cuisine, but there were very few successful ones, and even our cooking skills began to lag behind, so the clan elders began to change their thinking, that is, after the sense of food was strong enough, they began to develop the chef's own cooking heart. Liu Yuyuan said.
"You're going to be flexible, too? Ahem...... I mean......"
"Hehe, I know what you mean!" Liu Yuyuan gritted his teeth a little, but continued to say: "In fact, before leaving, the ancestors also warned future generations that the 'source' of ingredients can not be found, don't be too persistent. ”
Liu Pleiades estimated that this departure should mean "leaving the world", and what really made him care about it was the latter sentence...... (To be continued.) )
