Chapter 72: New Gastronomy

Liu Pleiades glanced at Alice who was choosing ingredients with some concern, her cooking skills were the most difficult for Liu Pleiades to judge, because they were different from other chefs in terms of system. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is a "new cuisine" that uses various high-tech methods to process the taste and texture of the dish at the molecular level, and although the basic knife skills and the like are the same, it is difficult to compare it with ordinary cooks.

However, if you look at the results alone, Alice's cooking can definitely be among the top ten in a year, better than Mito Yu Mei and others!

However, senior Taro Miyamoto doesn't seem to be a person who can accept "new cuisine......

Half an hour later, when the students had already selected the ingredients and most of them had started the pre-treatment process, Miyamoto also began to "teach".

What surprised Liu Pleiades was that this old man actually began to talk about things!

Could it be that "chicken soup for the soul" is also a type of "soup dish"? Listening to these inspirational stories will make everyone improve their cooking skills? Liu Pleiades sweated from the corners of his forehead......

In Miyamoto's words, making soup is like life, and the longer it takes, the more flavorful it becomes, so he began to make chicken soup for the soul!

However, excluding Liu Pleiaus's lack of interest in "chicken soup for the soul" and the like, Taro Miyamoto's story is indeed inspirational and true, because it is his own story!

When Miyamoto was in the middle of the far month at the beginning, his grades were not outstanding, and he barely passed the internal promotion exam, almost everyone thought that he couldn't survive for a month, but with hard study, others would learn it once, and he would have to practice two or three times at night!

Although I don't have any talent, I don't have any special talents, but with hard work, I survived a month, two months, boarding for further study, and the first semester......

As for the elite activities of the "Autumn Tryouts", he has always been insulated, and it is completely up to luck to be promoted to a second year.

Every time Liu Pleiades hears this, what comes to mind is another waste wood man, that is, the head of the plane of a rice bowl research society!

It's just that Miyamoto doesn't have the backbone of an airplane head, but he works harder than an airplane head......

According to Miyamoto, he only performed the halberd four times during his time at school, and each time he was forced to eat the halberd to the point that he had to eat the halberd, and ...... Lose every time!

But at the same time, the four opponents who defeated him failed to survive to graduation, but Miyamoto graduated!

And two months before graduation, with a dish of "green vegetable and tofu soup", he won the tenth place in the top ten......

Liu Pleiades couldn't help but complain in his heart: Maybe you are too good at boiling, you can even boil soup after boiling!

After telling the chicken soup story, it was a routine to analyze the "philosophy of life" shown in the story slowly, and it was not until an hour and a half later that I finally talked about things related to "soup dishes".

began to talk about the "soup road" he realized from his own experience......

“…… In short, boiling soup is the same as being a person, the longer you go through, the more mellow it becomes, and the hardships you endure are like every ingredient in the soup, adding color and flavor to your life! ”

Creak......

As Miyamoto finished speaking, a murmur came from Alice's modern equipment.

And it can be clearly seen that on this cabinet-shaped equipment the size of an "arcade", more than ten test tubes are some of them are stirring automatically, some are heating, and some are spinning centrifugation......

It is impressive that more than a dozen materials are processed separately!

"Huh? Excuse me from telling your story? Sorry, I'll improve the silence in the future. But...... In the kitchen, you can't stand this little noise, right? Alice said defiantly to the other students.

However, in Liu Pleiaus's view, it is obvious that Miyamoto was also provoked.

The second lady's "combat effectiveness" in this regard is really not lower than that of the "eldest lady"!

If Erina is tsundere and forgets "Jiao", then Alice is naked willful......

It's a slap in the face! Miyamoto was just over there, saying that he should pay attention to the heat, time, and ingredients in the soup, and Alice immediately used an unclear means to start processing each ingredient separately, and after setting the temperature, with the help of the equipment, he started heating at the most suitable temperature for each ingredient and spice.

As for...... Some flavors require a certain amount of time to interact with ingredients and spices to produce?

Obviously, Alice did not ignore this, and sometimes took two or more centrifugal and stratified liquids, took out a part of the mixture, mixed them, and then heated them at the appropriate temperature, and then centrifuged and stratified the mixture again after the time was over......

The last filtration method shows the convenience of high technology!

After mixing, it became the best chicken soup that Alice had calculated at the beginning, and it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu Pleiades couldn't help nodding secretly, although Alice's cooking method is very different from others, and it does take advantage of high-tech, but this amount of knowledge and the ability to decompose and calculate have far surpassed others, and the ability to quickly calculate ingredients is almost comparable to the "spice inequality" under Liu Pleiades's "advanced one-star"!

Alice took out a small bowl and served it to Miyamoto, while Liu Pleiades also served some to taste.

Miyamoto had just emphasized the effect of "time", "heat", and "the combination of ingredients and spices" on the soup dish, and Alice put a bowl of slapping in the face in front of him with an increasingly unpleasant smile, and the old man couldn't help but darken his face a little.

Miyamoto and Liu Pleiades tasted Alice's soup at the same time, and then they couldn't help but be stunned!

"This soup ......" Liu Pleiades couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the time again, making sure it was really only three o'clock.

Alice seems to enjoy Miyamoto's reaction, and explains slowly: "The so-called 'heat' refers to the reaction temperature of the ingredients or spices when the 'aroma reaction' occurs, and the 'time' refers to the time required for the reaction, as for the coordination between the ingredients...... Of course, after each ingredient has completed the 'aroma reaction', it can be mixed together according to the proportion!

Of course, some ingredients or spices need different ingredients or ingredients to react, so using centrifugation to extract the parts that need to react and create the best reaction temperature and proportion for them is also the most effective means. The ingredients themselves are also purified once and the unwanted fats and the like are sifted out......

The reason why soup sometimes needs to be cooked slowly is that some reactions are very slow, and if the temperature is too high, there will be other reactions that develop into 'bad taste'! Therefore, the treatment is separate, not only the taste is purer, but also for some 'stubborn' reactions, you can save time by heating up and speeding up!

If it is calculated in the normal way...... My chicken broth is about four hours old, but there is still room for improvement. ”

Saying this with a domineering face, Liu Pleiades could imagine the mood of the old man Miyamoto now.

Just two hours, which also includes time to process ingredients...... It took four hours to get the effect, and indeed, as Alice said, the taste was better and purer, enough to be at the level of "high-end five-star"!

The way it is made may seem strange to other chefs, but it is already a "very good" chicken stock.

Although he has not entered the "special grade", if Liu Pleiades does not make a move, I am afraid that the other students in this cooking room will not be able to do better!

However......

"Unqualified!" Miyamoto said solemnly.

"Huh?" Alice looked stunned at first, and then began to question.

"Old man! You wouldn't be deliberately retaliating, would you? Unqualified? What are you kidding, if this soup is not up to standard, then no one here will pass! If you can't find a bowl of soup that is more delicious than mine from other students, I won't accept your narrow-minded and indiscriminate judgment! ”

"The old man said that the old man's 'judging criteria are different'!" Miyamoto said firmly.

"Hehe, your judging criterion is not that you must use your old-fashioned skills and theories to cook soup in order to be considered successful, right? Then your standard may not be convincing, after all, the chef's work is presented to diners, not to some cooking veterans! Alice said aggressively.

"No, it's not because your preparation process is different from what Lao Yu understands, but because Lao Yu tasted it, and your soup is missing key things. Without 'those', your soup is now tastier than others', but there is no possibility of improvement. "Miyamoto doesn't look like he's lying.

"Huh? Missing 'something critical'? What is it? Alice asked.

"......" Miyamoto fell silent.

The corners of Alice's eyes jumped, and she said extremely unpleasantly: "You don't want to say, in fact, you don't know what is missing, right?" ”

"Indeed, old decay cannot be described, perhaps...... It's the heart of a chef! Miyamoto said.

This kind of "idealistic" statement obviously couldn't satisfy Alice, but just as she further questioned Miyamoto, Liu Pleiades suddenly said: "No, it's not yet to the level of 'chef's heart', I think I know what's missing!" Chef Miyamoto, we'll try again later, okay? ”

Miyamoto looked at him, then at the time, and then nodded: "Of course it's no problem, but the time is only two hours, is it really enough?" ”

"More than enough, after all, there is already this!" Liu Pleiades raised Alice's soup in his hand.

"Huh? You also feel like something is missing from my soup? What the hell are you thinking, are you sixty years old this year? Alice said angrily.

"No, it's not for your 'new cuisine', it's really something missing...... Don't be impatient, and you'll know if you taste it later, now borrow your soup first! ”

Liu Pleiades did taste it, because Alice's cooking method was too "pure", and she left out all the steps that she thought were useless, and although such a soup was mellow, a soup master or tasting master without the "tongue of God" could also taste the "lack of things" here.

In Alice's words, it is the lack of some "reactions" that are not necessary in the existing theory, but in fact also work!

At least for now, "new gastronomy" cannot replace cooking skills, because modern technology cannot calculate everything, and only calculating the main "reactions" will only make the cuisine stick to "high-end", which is no different from the effect of the chef......
