Chapter Seventy-Four: Jade White Jade Soup
There are really some students who have not yet passed and are ready to follow Liu Pleiades and try to cook cabbage and tofu directly in plain water!
Alice sneered at the student who was about to imitate: "Hehe, you mediocre people, do you really think that this is cabbage and tofu boiled in clear water?" And what do you mean I'm only two hours left to delay? If it weren't for this old man's malicious bias, would your cuisine be on par with my chicken broth? ”
Hearing Alice's words, several students who had originally slandered her behind their backs couldn't help but turn around in embarrassment......
And Miyamoto also said solemnly at this time: "It's very delicious, it reminds me of the things when I was young, but in terms of deliciousness, maybe your refined clear soup is better than that of Lao Yu at that time!" And this water-like color is also proof that this refined clear soup has reached the top level! ”
Liu Pleiades instinctively felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the words of the old man Miyamoto, but when he heard his later words, he also took the opportunity to explain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"That's right, the soup base of this soup dish is the refined clear soup selected, that is, the top soup, or the three-ceiling soup."
"Three hanging soups? Be...... Those whole chickens? ”
"Yes, at first, after using the whole chicken directly to re-flavor it in Alice's consommé, I took the chicken out again, stuffed it with rinsed enoki mushrooms and other mushrooms, and used the filling in the whole chicken to absorb impurities once when I boiled it again.
However, no matter how clean the mushrooms are, they will also add some new impurities, so after lifting the chicken for the second time, I chopped two of the whole chickens into chicken minc, and filled these chicken minced chickens into the other three chickens, using the adsorption of the chicken fuzz to adsorb the impurities again.
As for the last, I also use the method of protein purification, sprinkling the raw egg white into the soup, after which the egg white will also be wrapped in the last impurities and oily, and then solidify and settle...... In Chinese cuisine, the process of straining the consommé into a refined consommé is called 'hanging soup', and the soup base of this 'jade white jade soup' is the three-hanging clear soup! ”
However, the ingredients are a little "cold", compared to the "pearl jade white jade soup" that Zhu Yuanzhang ate when he was a beggar, there are still fewer spinach and broken pots, and there are only two simplest ingredients of "jade and white jade".
At the beginning, Liu Pleiades also wanted to be like Luo Ke, stuffing some precious mountain goods and seafood into the whole chicken and finally presenting them, but he found that there were no dry goods in the cooking room, and he didn't know whether he had not prepared them or had been used up by others.
The flavor of the soup is too strong to be drunk directly, and ordinary ingredients cannot control its flavor if there is no dry food that can "compete" with it......
And at this time, Liu Pleiades remembered what Miyamoto said about the green vegetable and tofu soup!
I thought that since I couldn't find the corresponding high-quality ingredients, it was also an option to "fight" with the chicken top soup, so it was also an option to use the light ingredients as a scabbard to reduce the umami of the chicken top soup!
So Liu Pleiades simply took some cabbage and tofu, chopped and diced, put them in the chicken top soup and cooked them and handed them over.
Sure enough, Miyamoto's "green vegetable tofu soup" at the beginning was also supposed to be green vegetable tofu cooked with some kind of broth, rather than actually using green vegetable tofu to cook the soup......
Miyamoto's reaction after tasting it was also in line with Liu Pleiaus's expectations, after all, the original "chicken top soup" was the same as the "bouncing soft-shelled turtle soup", which was a "super two-star" dish.
Although Liu Pleiades used cabbage and tofu instead because he didn't get the dry goods, the essence of this dish was originally in the soup, so it still barely remained at the "special two-star"!
With the addition of "favorability points", Miyamoto's reaction was expected......
At this moment, Liu Pleiades suddenly frowned and muttered: "Reluctantly's 'special two-star'? As he spoke, he glanced at Miyamoto suspiciously.
But he was immediately interrupted by Alice, who rushed up angrily, patted the table and said to Miyamoto: "This is what you said before about 'missing important things'?" Yes, I admit that the soup tasted better after processing, and maybe I did filter out some of the things I should have used...... But my chicken broth still tastes better than those mediocre talents, right? What can't be promoted or something, it's just wishful thinking on your part! ”
It seems that because she was ridiculed before, the second lady is very angry now, and she looks like she wants to get justice.
"The old decay has already explained, it is precisely because your cooking does not have any room for improvement, so the old decay is judged to be a failure, the old decay can taste it, and in the part that has been used, it has reached 'perfection', and the defective part cannot appear out of thin air, and naturally it cannot be made up......"
Old man Miyamoto's explanation sounded very reasonable, but Alice sneered: "Sure enough, it's an old man, I don't understand anything!" There's no room for improvement? Hehe, it's true that, due to the limitations of technology, my cuisine does filter out some things that are unrecognizable, but have an effect on 'deliciousness'.
But...... Technology is constantly evolving! Will the theory of 'new gastronomy' become more and more perfect, and it will not be able to progress? No kidding! Just calculate what those things are next time, and then you can make up for it? It's your own brain rigidity! ”
Miyamoto was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then had to say: "What you say is indeed somewhat reasonable......
"Doesn't make sense! You're too blindly confident, aren't you? I know that I don't know anything about 'new cuisine', but I still talk about 'not being able to improve'! The 'new cuisine' will definitely replace the old cuisine, and the times will prove who is truly outdated! And you...... You just need to judge the deliciousness of the finished product!
Now let me ask you again, even without Liu Pleiades's 'Jade White Jade Soup', can my work be qualified? Alice said aggressively.
After all, the previous "failure" was still a big blow to her.
And after tasting Liu Pleiades's "Jade White Jade Soup", Alice immediately understood that the other party's so-called "inability to progress" was caused by the prejudice against "new cuisine", and she was naturally very dissatisfied.
Miyamoto closed his eyes and was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, the old man admits that your chicken broth is also delicious, and it was the old man's mistake in judgment before!" ”
"Hmph, even if you have the courage to admit your mistakes, you're not too proud! In the future, remember to be more humble about new things! Alice didn't say anything more.
But Liu Pleiades listened to Alice's words, and suddenly remembered what he instinctively felt "unnatural" before.
Proud? Modest? "Already better"?
Liu Pleiades thought of the "disharmony" of Miyamoto's words, and hurriedly asked: "Chef Miyamoto, you said before that my cuisine is more delicious than the 'green vegetable and tofu soup' you challenged the ten masters back then, is it just a modest statement?" You know, I definitely don't have the confidence to challenge the ten masters with this dish! ”
Indeed, the current "Jade White Jade Soup" is only barely a "special two-star", unless the other party is a Shijie who is very bad at soup cooking, it is possible to be defeated by this......
But since it's a competition for the seats of the Ten Masters, it shouldn't be possible for the other party to use a dish that he's not good at as a topic, right?
When Miyamoto heard Liu Pleiades's words, he was also slightly stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Liu Pleiades suspiciously, as if his question was very stupid.
Alice couldn't stand it, and replied on the side: "Chef Miyamoto is a student of the 49th batch, and it was 40 years ago when he graduated, and the overall level of the culinary world and the level of the Enyue Academy are of course factors that cannot be ignored in the past 40 years!" ”
Miyamoto nodded when he heard this: "That's right, cooking this thing, it's either improving or regressing!" Especially when you're older...... It's going to be hard to catch up with your young people. Okay, let the next student come up and judge! ”
It was only then that Liu Pleiades realized the speed of development in the culinary world.
I've heard it from many sources, and it's said that the culinary world has only been growing rapidly since the last century, but now it's clear that the concept is clear......
Forty years ago, Miyamoto should have used "super one-star" cuisine, and he won the position of the bottom of the top ten.
And today, 40 years later, at least "super three-star" cooking can be done......
If "Zhonghua Yiban" is really in the same timeline as the current world, that is to say, about 150 years ago, the French chef who was defeated by the "super one-star" cuisine of the small master and whose cooking skills have not yet reached the special level has been praised by the French ambassador, and he is a chef who can install "beep ......" everywhere in the world!
Today, 150 years later, at least a "tiger-level" chef must have such self-confidence, right?
Liu Pleiades suddenly found that Alice had been staring at him......
"Huh? Do I have something on my face? Liu Pleiades was stared at awkwardly.
"It's nothing, but I heard that you've been on good terms with Erina lately?"
"If you want to understand it this way, it's not impossible to ......"
"Are you dating?"
“…… Your thinking is too jumpy! ”
Alice showed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll just say it!" Erina, who is so proud, won't just break the jar like this! ”
"I always think your statement seems to be rude."
"You're just delusional!"
At this moment, the door of the cooking room was opened, and I saw a tall academy walk in, with a hedgehog head, heavy black bags under the two eyes, and a pair of eyes that matched the dark bags and didn't seem to wake up......
Seeing that he was obviously dressed as a student, but at this time, he walked straight towards Alice as if he didn't see Miyamoto and the other students.
"Miss, these are better moved to your room, right?" The hedgehog head said in a tone that he hadn't woken up, pointing to the matches.
"That's right...... Why are you here so late this time? ”
"This time, the instructor is so grinding, I actually took several dishes in one class, and I was not allowed to change the menu, which made me late."
Liu Pleiades always felt that the mentor that the other party said seemed to know him, and at the same time, he made up the wonderful expression on Sigong's face when he faced this guy who didn't wake up......
At this time, the hedgehog head seems to have just seen Liu Pleiades beside Alice, you must know that it is Liu Pleiades standing outside, and he has been separated from Liu Pleiades when he spoke before!
"Huh? You seem to be ...... One of the people that the young lady said to 'pay special attention to'! By the way, when you meet someone who is 'paying special attention', you should stand behind the lady and put yourself sideways in such a pose, which is very ...... Yes, it's imposing! ”
The hedgehog head squeezed past Liu Pleiades while talking gloomily, and walked behind Alice to pose, completely unaware that Alice already had a black line......
