Chapter 133: Phoenix Crystal and Dream Talk
ββ¦β¦ Let's give you a demonstration, and I can help the old president understand another level of 'deliciousness'! β
"Another level? Then I'll see! The old president said expectantly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
If it was before, the old president might not have any expectations for the young Liu Pleiades.
But now I know that the other party can see where his problem is, and he also guides Scarlet Shazi to prescribe "medicine" for the case, so he also puts Liu Pleiades in a different position in his heart.
At this time, Sadazuka turned around and brought a plate covered with a fat lid......
"It's not like the liver stewed porridge of Scarlet Shazi, which has been boiled for three days in a row, but this dish is also prepared by me and Erina and Sadazuka, and we have been preparing it since before dawn! I'll name it ...... Phoenix Crystal! β
Liu Pleiades opened the lid of the plate as he spoke, only to see that what was revealed inside was a mini phoenix that was as dazzling as crystal!
The old president and Tatsuji looked at the gorgeous cuisine in front of them, and while their hearts were completely attracted by the "Phoenix Crystal", they also instinctively thought: Isn't this a "luxurious" cuisine?
The appearance of the "phoenix crystal" that Liu Pleiades now presents is similar to that in the comic version, which is demonstrated for the elders of the Cantonese Kitchen Federation, and the flat undulating phoenix pattern of countless "Ruyi dishes" on the plate, rather than the appearance of a three-dimensional phoenix as in the animated version, in the Manchu and Han banquets.
After the two came back to their senses, they found that the "crystal" in front of them was composed of a toothpick, a long and short white "stick......
"Huh? This...... This seems to be bean sprouts? The old president said in a strange tone.
"That's right, it's bean sprouts, but after pinching the head and removing the tail, only the middle part of the bean sprouts remains! Because such bean sprouts look like the Ruyi golden hoop stick in the hands of the legendary Monkey King, it can also be called 'Ruyi dish'! Liu Pleiades explained.
"Bean sprouts? Wishful dishes? Okay, I'll try it...... "The old president looked like he was forcing himself.
Although because of the previous "liver stewed porridge", he has a lot of confidence in Liu Pleiades, and he was indeed amazed by the appearance of the "Phoenix Crystal" before, but he really let him eat the "bean sprouts" that he usually can't look at, although the old president didn't show it, he still had some resistance in his heart.
"Even though it's beautiful, it's still 'fried bean sprouts'...... The food still needs to be delicious! The old president thought so in his heart, and at the same time used chopsticks to pick up a few "wishful dishes" that Liu Pleiades said and put them in his mouth.
At the moment when the fried bean sprouts were eaten, the old president had a somewhat vague reluctant look, and suddenly calmed down!
As if tasting something, he closed his eyes and looked up at a forty-five degree angle, and tears were silently left in the corners of his eyes......
"Father, you ...... What's wrong? Tatsuji wondered.
My father, who is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, would actually shed tears for a dish of "fried bean sprouts"?
"What a fresh taste! What a pure taste! There is no earthy miscellaneous taste, and it is completely different from the bean sprouts you usually eat! The old president said excitedly after half a ring.
At the same time, the chopsticks continued to fly, and I gulped down the "Phoenix Crystal" in front of me!
"It's ...... What's going on? Tatsuji asked incredulously.
"Even 'bean sprouts', as long as they are properly treated, such as removing the head, tail and tendons, they will have an unimaginable leap in texture and taste, and the sparkling appearance, after a proper platter, is a delicacy in the world! Therefore, in addition to the two dishes of Lingzun's 'anorexia', there are many other delicious and not luxurious ingredients...... There are only useless cooks, and there are no useless ingredients. Liu Pleiades said leisurely.
Chenji couldn't help but show a tangled look, and only said after half a sound: "That...... Can I hire you as a chef for the Sakata family? How about 10 million yen a year? β
10 million yen a year for one home cook, which is a lot of money for the Sakata family, and they are not in the cooking industry, and the chefs they hire are only for their own families......
"Thank you very much, but sorry, we still have to go to school." However, Liu Yuexing naturally declined, you must know that the annual salary offered by Qianqian at the beginning was 100 million!
"Going to school?" Tatsuji doesn't understand what school is more attractive than an annual salary of 10 million.
"That's right, in fact, we are students of Yuanyue Academy, and we are just a year student in the Higher Division, so we shouldn't be thinking about employment in two years." Liu Pleiades added in his heart: You don't need to think about it in two years!
"Yuan, Yuanyue Academy? No wonder...... But I didn't expect that the first-year students of Yuanyue Academy would be so powerful! Hey......" Chenji sighed, and also understood that Liu Pleiades couldn't stay.
began to worry about what happened next, after all, his father's body had not yet recovered, whether it was liver stewed porridge or phoenix crystal, it was just an introduction.
After that, you still need to recuperate slowly, but the Tatsuji family doesn't have this kind of chef who can cook simple ingredients that his father can eat!
"In fact, when it comes to cooking, more important than technique is the heart, such as this 'fried bean sprouts', if you are willing to put your heart into it, even if you don't have too high cooking skills when stir-frying, it won't be too bad." Liu Pleiades said.
At this moment, a little girl who had been peeking outside for a long time ran in and said to Tatsuji, who was about to get angry because of her eavesdropping, "Dad! I decided that after I graduated in a few months, I would also go to Yuanyue Academy! I'll cook for Grandpa and Dad! β
Looking at the age of the little girl, she should have graduated from the sixth grade of elementary school......
However, it seems that like Kojiro Shinomiya, he should have no contact with cooking before graduating from elementary school, and he has no foundation for "concentration", and it will be very difficult to reach the peak after he really reaches his peak, and the talent that can be made up for without a cooking heart like Shinomiya is too rare and can only be described as a "special case".
But Liu Pleiades didn't splash cold water, but after touching the little girl's head, he said: "Very good, if you encounter confusion and hesitate on the road of cooking in the future, just think about today's events and remember why you embarked on this road!" β
"Yes! I'll definitely remember! The little girl nodded vigorously.
In the evening, Liu Pleiadesung, Erina, Sadazuka, and Scarlet Shazi, who had already woken up, declined the Sakata family's offer to stay overnight for another night, and got on the long-distance bus back......
Today is already Thursday, and Sunday is the day of the semi-finals of the autumn trials, and although Liu Pleiades has selected the recipe in these three days, he has not practiced it once!
"Ah Xing, thank you so much this time...... When I was preparing for the semi-finals, I was specially delayed for three days......" Scarlet said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, I've already selected the recipe in the past three days, just wait for the time to present it." Liu Pleiades said.
Long-distance buses are common with two seats side by side on each side, Liu Pleiades and a group of four people, occupying the front and back two rows, originally Scarlet Sand wanted to sit with Erina, but Scarfata has been following her closely, plus Sadazuka has also helped a lot in the past few days, as long as she doesn't want to sit with Erina, Scarlet Sand is not too resistant......
"By the way, little secretary...... You slept enough, didn't you? It's best not to sleep on ...... road," Liu Pleiades couldn't help but kindly remind.
The naΓ―ve Scarlet Sand has not yet discovered that Nao Sadazuka's goal has been transferred!
"Huh? What's the matter? But I don't feel sleepy now. Scarlet asked suspiciously.
Hearing this, Sadazuka couldn't help but feel as if Sadako was possessed, and looked back at Liu Pleiades gloomily......
"I'm going to sit inside! I'm a little sleepy. Erina said hurriedly.
But the fact is that in the second half, Erina was already leaning on Liu Pleiaus's shoulder in a daze, muttering dream words in her mouth: "Stupid scarlet sand...... Who allowed you to leave without permission ......"
When Scarlet heard it vaguely, she couldn't help but turn around and look at Erina with an apologetic gaze.
"Actually, Erina is more dependent on you than you think." Liu Pleiades said.
"Dependent, dependent on something...... It's not so exaggerated, I, I'm not so shameless......" Scarlet Shazi looked a little flattered.
At this moment, Erina muttered in her sleep, "Wait...... Sing...... Don't go ......."
"Huh? Erina-sama seems to be worried about you? β
"I guess I dreamed of something dangerous."
As soon as Liu Pleiades finished speaking, Erina continued: "The smell of blood you smell is not injured by scarlet sand...... Wait......"
"......" Scarlet Shazi and Liu Yuxing glanced at each other wordlessly.
After that, the cheeks of the scarlet sand, at a speed that seemed to be coated with rouge, could clearly see the rosy in the already dim carriage, and at the same time immediately turned back!
Originally, Scarlet Shazi was surprised by the attitude of Liu Pleiades and Erina when they first rushed in three days ago, but when she asked Erina before, she was silent......
What's even more strange for her is that when she helped Erina pack her luggage before, she found that Miss actually brought a lot of her underwear? Erina's explanation for this was that she was worried that she didn't change her clothes, but she ended up taking the wrong clothes for unwashed clothes.
Although it fits Erina's character of being confused in things other than cooking, but I'm familiar with Erina's Scarlet Sand, and I can see that she's lying......
After all, it's not easy to see the way you can't see it while talking, with your eyes fluttering and your fingers still twisting your hair.
Thinking of his "special situation" in the past few days, as well as Erina's dream words, Scarlet Shazi instantly understood something!
At the same time, during the next two hours of the trip, Nao Sadazuka hid most of her face behind the chair, only revealing her two shadowy eyes under her long hair and staring at Liu Pleiadin, with a look of "I curse you......
With the dim carriage, even for Liu Yuexing, it is really a torment! (To be continued.) )
