Chapter Eighty-Five: Father and Son Bureau
At five o'clock the next morning, Liu Pleiades appeared in the kitchen early, because it was summer, so it was already bright. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sure enough, when Liu Pleiades arrived in the kitchen, Chuangzhen and Joichiro were already excited to "eat halberds".
However, for their father and son, this kind of culinary duel in the form of "halberd" has become commonplace...... And Wen Xu and Isshihui are also there.
"Okay, if you count Ah Xing, it's just right! No problem, right? Mr. Joichiro. Isusei said happily.
"Of course, no problem, yesterday I promised this kid to show him something interesting! In this case, the judging will be just odd...... It's nothing but an even number, and there can't be a draw anyway. Joichiro said confidently.
It seems that just now they were struggling because there were only two judges, Wen Xu and Yi Sehui.
Chuangzhen was very dissatisfied and said, "Huh? Don't underestimate people! Be careful for a while, and be surprised by my growth in the past two months! ”
Looking at Chuangzhen's confident appearance, Joichiro couldn't help but strike: "Really? You've lost to me 500 times since you were in the sixth grade, right? ”
"Why! 489 times only! Chuangzhen retorted.
"Seeing that you are so confident, I thought you had forgotten......"
Wen Xu couldn't help urging: "Okay, since there are already three people on the review, let's start quickly!" I want to think about the topic...... Just use the ready-made ones! With the title of 'Breakfast', I would like to remind you in advance that there is an elderly person here! ”
"And Ah Xing, you got up hard today, right? Didn't you sleep until noon on weekends? Isshiki asked.
"It's not so much the hard work, but in fact, I slept enough on the bus, and I just rested a little last night and didn't sleep." Liu Pleiades said honestly.
After hearing this, Chuangzhen couldn't help muttering: "In this way, is it an old man, and there is a guest who hasn't slept all night......
Saying that, the two of them chose their own ingredients, and Liu Pleiades had been carefully observing Joichiro's movements.
At this time, Yi Sehui said to Liu Pleiades on the side: "It seems that this is the origin of Chuangzhen...... Since the sixth grade of elementary school, he has been fighting against Mr. Joichiro, and although he has experienced 489 defeats, his indomitable spirit and tenacity to continue to innovate have been rooted in his soul as a chef. ”
"It's true, Senior Isshiki may not know that there was a breakfast self-service assessment during the previous 'residential training', and Chuangzhen ...... at that time," Liu Pleiades and Isshiki Hui talked about what happened at that time.
Because there is nothing to see on Joichiro's side, purely from the steps of cooking, he is still not ready to use cooking skills above the "special".
Even so, after including the "kitchen heart", it can make people enjoy it as much as tiger-level cuisine.
It is impossible for Liu Pleiades to be rated purely based on cooking skills, because what the judges of "Halberd" have to do is to choose the dishes that they think are more satisfying, without considering the difference between cooking skills and cooking heart!
Fifty minutes later, Chuangzhen took the lead and served three plates of golden rice to the three of them......
"Long waiting! Apple risotto, please use it! Chuangzhen said with full vitality.
"Oh? Is it actually risotto? Chuangzhen's cooking skills are really good at everyone! Issehui sighed.
"Huh? Is risotto something peculiar? Don't people usually eat it? Chuangzhen wondered, as if he didn't know the name of "raw frying" at the beginning, but he would use this technique.
"This ...... Usually in Italy, the average person makes risotto! Isshiki explained.
Yes, risotto, also known as risotto, is a common dish in northern Italy, and in terms of cooking methods, it can also be said to be "stewed rice".
In contrast to risotto, raw rice is also used in risotto, but meat and mushrooms are used as a side dish, and butter and cream are used instead of spicy seasonings.
Compared with "risotto", after adding the soup, directly covered and stuffed, the cooking of "seasoned rice" is more troublesome, after stir-frying the raw rice with butter and olive oil, although the stock will also be added, but the amount at one time can not be too much, and then it is not covered, but constantly stirred in the stew until the unabsorbed stock evaporates, and then the stock is added again, and the cycle is until "raw rice stewed mature rice"!
"It's Italian food!" Chuangzhen only knew what he was looking like at this time.
"But it's quite special to use fruit to make risotto, and it smells like it's an appetite." Wen Xu said.
Liu Pleiades interjected at this time: "It's not so much special, it's better to return to the ancestors...... The predecessor of risotto was Majia rice in Chinese cuisine, which was brought back to Europe by Marco Polo during the Mongol and Yuan dynasties.
The emergence of Majia rice is because during the Mengyuan and Yuan dynasties, there were frequent droughts in China, and the people often had rice and no water, so a family surnamed Ma created a cooking method of using the water in vegetables to stew fried raw rice.
Unfortunately, although it was popular in the south for a while, it was only used as a special period of cuisine, and did not have any significant development in the future, and was finally drowned in the long river of history. On the contrary, after Marco Polo brought this method back to Europe, because the vegetables and fruits were different between the two places, it gradually developed into a 'seasoned rice' stewed in broth. ”
seemed to hear the regret in Liu Yuexing's tone, and Yi Sehui couldn't help but say: "I think that although Majiafan has not been able to develop into a famous gourmet cuisine later, it has been successful enough!" Ah Xing also said that the purpose of the pioneer was to make it possible for the compatriots affected by the disaster to eat, so he created this kind of cuisine, right?
Although the taste may not be as good as the risotto we eat today, the things contained in the dish must be more precious than 'delicious'! ”
"That's right, Marco Polo's words...... When he returned to Europe, it was at the end of the Eighth Crusades and he was devastated, and he wanted to bring back not so much a delicious dish as a spirit beyond this 'deliciousness'. Wen Xu also said.
At this time, the three of them also officially began to taste the "apple risotto" in front of them, and from the appearance, the most conspicuous thing was that in addition to the two slices of fried bacon, there were many loose apple pieces on top of the golden rice.
Liu Yuxing put a spoonful of rice mixed with apple chunks into his mouth and tasted it carefully......
The sweetness of apples and onions, along with the fruity aroma, suddenly spread in Liu Pleiades's mouth!
There is also a slight sour taste, which makes Liu Yuexing, who hasn't slept all night, also have a big appetite.
"The tiredness that came from not sleeping all night was completely woken up!"
"There is also the texture of apples that can 'click' in the mouth, and the onions are constantly simmered until they are soft...... The sweet and sour flavor is completely spread throughout the whole plate of risotto! ”
Liu Pleiades and Isshiki Hui were immersed in the refreshing taste of the rice.
Although the two of them have not eaten more delicious food than this, they even ate Joichiro's food last night......
But as a chef, if you can't even enjoy the deliciousness of your food, you're not competent!
"And the black pepper next to it, Ah Xing, you have a heavier taste, right? Remember that you still like to eat fish-flavored shredded pork in the morning, you can try to add some! It's going to be a completely different kind of enjoyment! Chuangzhen prompted.
Liu Pleiades couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "How can you see that I like to eat fish-flavored shredded pork in the morning?" It's obviously forced to be helpless......"
Although he said this, Liu Pleiades still picked up the black pepper seasoning bottle on the side and sprinkled some on the rice.
Isshihui and Wenxu did the same......
Sure enough, after adding black pepper, the taste of apple risotto became even more impactful!
The peppery flavor is mixed with the sweet and sour taste of apples, and the flavor of the originally bland risotto becomes more layered!
"For breakfast, it's a satisfying creation!" Issehui said affirmatively.
"Indeed, I feel twenty years younger, as if I am seventeen or eighteen again!" Wen Xu forcibly miscalculated.
“…… I always feel like Wenxu Maria, your words seem to be weird. Liu Pleiades said helplessly.
Joichiro didn't interrupt them at all, and it wasn't until the three of them had eaten half a plate of rice and tasted the taste very deeply that they served their own dishes unhurriedly.
Generally speaking, the first party to eat the halberd has the advantage of being "preconceived", but at the same time, if the latter immediately delivers the dish, the judges may not have a deep enough taste of the first dish, unless the judges can't help but ignore the next dish after tasting it, and instead taste it thoroughly......
That's why it's best to choose dishes that make you feel most of the flavor from the first bite, which is called impactful dishes!
However, Joichiro didn't care at all, and only then did he serve his own food, which was different from Sojin's plate, and Joichiro's food was three bowls.
And from Joichiro, Liu Pleiades and the three of them all felt it, and his body exuded a breath that could tear up Chuangzhen's "apple risotto" and step directly into the valley with one foot!
"What a terrifying man, worthy of his son, when he was in the sixth grade of elementary school, he was constantly subjected to blows...... Wen Xu sighed.
If an ordinary father is facing a child who is still in elementary school, he usually gives in to some, right?
At this moment, Wen Xu felt the breath of "Shura" on Joichiro again!
"Are you going to show your aggressive side?" Wen Xu muttered, she didn't know that this was what Joichiro promised Liu Pleiades yesterday.
"I've been waiting for a long time, this is a special ...... for Joichiro Well, it's called 'Enma King Ramen'! ”
I saw three bowls of ramen with thick stacks of noodles on top, which were placed in front of Liu Pleiades and the others......
"Ramen, ramen? Looking at this richness, it seems that it is still made of thick soup...... For Wenxu's mother-in-law and Ah Xing, who didn't sleep all night, it's a little reluctant, right? Issehui couldn't help but wonder. (To be continued.) )
