Chapter 108: Journey and Return

Xi Jianrun didn't have any gateway views, and seriously explained it to Liu Pleiades and Chuangzhen, but naturally he didn't have time to explain all the knowledge about spices, and just summarized the introductory knowledge of some "spices" in spices

Spices are specific to spices that contain pungent aromas, and when we talk about "curry dishes", we naturally have to talk about spices. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

According to the simple classification of Shiomi Run, the most important thing for spices is three points: "aroma", "spicy" and "color", among which "spicy" is not "spicy" in a narrow sense, and strong fragrance can also be understood as a type of "spicy".

In European-style curry, that is, Japanese-style curry, the "strong aroma" is used instead of pure "spicy" to satisfy diners who can't eat too spicy Indian curry.

As we all know, the most difficult thing in the use of spices is to mix them, after the mixing of various spices, there will be countless changes in color, aroma and taste, and the more types of mixed use, the more these changes will show exponential growth......

In addition, Shiomi Jun also proposed that even if the spices are of the same proportion, whether each spice is fried in advance, the temperature at which it is heated, and whether it is a dry or fresh ingredient...... and countless other factors, which will also have an impact!

Ye Shanliang on the side also seemed to be provocative, and took Liu Pleiades and Chuangzhen to the kitchen to demonstrate to them the different effects of the same spice recipe under the different treatment methods of spices in advance and the different bases that carry spices.

Liu Pleiades also gradually understood the advantages and disadvantages of "spice inequality", for the mixing and matching of spices, "spice inequality" has an unparalleled calculation speed, with the "super god's tongue", even if you have never seen spices, you can immediately "enter" the data for simulation calculation.

But at the same time, as for the influence of other factors such as temperature, oil, and other factors on the taste of spices, as mentioned by Shiomi Jun later, the "spice inequality" is not very good.

In other words, the chemical changes that occur between the physical mixture and spices are very good, and the chemical changes that the spices produce by themselves due to external conditions cannot be predicted, and the more such changes, the greater the error of the simulation calculation.

This is also the reason why the "spice inequality" can only calculate the spices, and if it is other ingredients, taking into account the change in the heat of raw and cooked, the error will break through the sky......

Therefore, the usual practice of the blue-eyed tiger Milla is to simulate the other party's cooking, and then add spices at the end, so as to minimize the self-chemical changes of the spices, and achieve the purpose of improving the taste of the food.

However, if it is a "curry dish" with spices as its soul, it is impossible for Liu Pleiades to add spices to garnish at the end, and if he completely relies on the "spice inequality", there will be a huge error......

"Thank you for your hospitality and thank you for explaining...... I think I know where my weakness in the use of spices is, and after that, the other students of Polestar Liao may also disturb you in the next few days and cause you trouble! Liu Pleiades said.

Shiomi Jun is still very good at talking about things other than Joichiro, and nodded when he heard this: "Well, yes, for the sake of 'Polar Star Liao', I can teach you a special lesson, but only for this week, and I still have my own research to do after that." ”

And Ye Shanliang looked at Liu Yuexing and said: "Looking at your eyes, it seems that you already have the confidence to make up for your weaknesses?" ”

"That's right, you should also work hard, be careful that after two months, you will be surpassed by me in spices!" Liu Pleiades smiled.

"My sense of smell is as different from your sense of taste as ordinary people, and I've discovered that you seem to be able to sense odor molecules with your tongue? However, it is important to know that the same odor molecules, the olfactory sense, and the taste perceive the effect is not the same!

Before the appearance and deliciousness of the food, the first thing that is presented to the diners is always the aroma...... Only those who can truly control the aroma can stand at the top of the culinary world! Ye Shanliang said confidently.

"I don't know if spices will make you stand at the top, but I'll admit that spices are important...... But if you want to master spices, you need not only a good nose, but also a brain that can carry a huge number of variants! Liu Pleiades said and took two steps closer to Ye Shanliang, and the index finger of his left hand tapped his temple.

"Heh, are you confident in your mind? But don't forget, it's not just me you'll have to face then, Run's will be with me, and our combination is invincible! "What Ye Shanliang believes most is not himself, but the combination of himself and Run.

"Then we'll see you then!" Liu Pleiades waved his hand.

"Huh? Listen to you, won't you come back before school starts? Ye Shan Liang wondered.

Although Liu Pleiades is regarded as his biggest competitor, Ye Shanliang doesn't mind that others know more about spices, after all, this topic is already extremely beneficial to him.

"That's right, I'm going to go to Northern Europe, and I'll probably be back before school starts! The molecular gastronomy there is very interesting, and there is a specialization in the arts, so it should be possible to see more intuitively the law of self-reaction of each spice under external conditions. Liu Pleiades said.

Indeed, although Jun Shiomi focuses on the research of spices, his research focuses on the cultivation, preservation, and mixed use of spices.

In contrast, the Danish Institute of New Gastronomy mainly focuses on molecular gastronomy, but it is also a natural researcher of the chemical reactions that occur in the spices themselves.

"Molecular Cuisine? Then good luck! ”

After Liu Pleiades returned to Polestar Liao, he immediately booked a time with Alice, and on the second day of the official holiday, he got on a plane to Denmark......

In the New Culinary Institute in Denmark, Liu Pleiades learned a lot of new things, including the chemical reaction records of various spices, and gradually enriched his "spice inequality".

Originally, Liu Pleiades wanted to stay in the research institute in Denmark for two months, and then go to Hokkaido with Alice and Kurokiba before the start of school to participate in the "dessert event", but a month later, there was an incident that made Alice's father chase him eight streets with a knife!

Therefore, I had to leave Denmark a month early, and before leaving, I made an appointment with Alice to meet in Hokkaido......

In a blink of an eye, the two-month summer vacation of Yuanyue Academy has ended, and Alice is wearing a big sunshade straw hat and waiting for someone at the door of the hotel where they stayed when they participated in the "Seafood Pastry Competition" before.

Not long after, Liu Pleiades also came over by taxi......

"Sorry, I'm sorry, the plane is a little late." Liu Pleiades said embarrassedly.

"Hey, can't you come back a day early? And lovely ladies waiting for you! Alice said with a roll of her eyes.

"After all, the hotel is very expensive for one night, and if I come back first, I won't have to pay for it myself?" Liu Pleiades looks like I'm super shrewd.

Alice was about to complain, but suddenly remembered something, glanced at her phone again and said, "Wait, the news just now seems to say that the plane is late...... Did you go to the United States? ”

Originally, Alice thought that if Liu Pleiades hadn't returned to Yuanyue this month, he would have gone home!

However, from the perspective of time, the plane Liu Pleiades took should have been from New York to Hokkaido......

"Well, I really wanted to go home and have a look, but I suddenly remembered that I had some other things to deal with, so I went to the United States." Liu didn't explain what it was, and Alice didn't ask much.

After a while, Liu Pleiades couldn't help it, and asked Alice in a low voice, "That...... Did Nagikiri deflat? ”

Alice's face turned red when she heard this, and then her eyes flew and said, "Ben, there was nothing wrong with this!" Even I haven't said anything yet...... It's all because you're too nervous! ”

At this moment, Kurokiba interjected in a daze: "Huh? Didn't the director say that when you see Ah Xing, Miss......"

"Shut up!" Alice stopped him.

Seeing Alice's reaction, Liu Pleiades quickly diverted the topic and said, "By the way, which of the top 50 dessert masters participated in this 'dessert event'?" How many desserts will be present at the event? ”

"This is the brochure I got earlier, and it says ...... We were in luck with this event! Among the top ten dessert masters, there are actually three who will be present, and in previous years, the top ten masters were mostly only one, and sometimes they were unlucky, and there may not even be any top ten masters to participate. Alice said expectantly as she handed a booklet to Liu Pleiades.

"Thousands? So much? Liu Pleiades said in surprise.

"That's right, after all, there will be hundreds of pastry experts in attendance, and many pastry chefs will serve more than one dessert ...... What do you think? If you want to eat what you want to eat, it's best to plan first! Alice said.

"Which one do you want to eat?" No, it seems that you don't know much about my style at the buffet! ”

Hearing Liu Pleiaus's words, Alice had a bad premonition in her heart......

Which kind of food do you want to eat? Just kidding, in the past two months, Liu Pleiades has finally improved his cooking skills by one star to "senior five-star", and has been stuck here since then, hoping to break through the special grade with the "dessert event"!

And there are only more than 1,400 kinds of desserts in three days, and in the three-day "dessert event", if you don't eat anything else, Liu Pleiades feels that it is still possible to achieve her goal.

Although you can't forcibly take out the buffet through the back door like in the Far Moon Hotel, the desserts are not like dishes, and the amount of each should not be large......

Therefore, in this year's Hokkaido "Dessert Festival", there is a legend of a "big stomach...... (To be continued.) )
