Chapter 572: No Appearance
"You make it clear to me how my cooking is so bad that I have failed, and if you can't give me a convincing reason, I'll make you dinner." A fat chef of the Chuanqi tribe pointed at Li Mu with a kitchen knife, his eyes were round, and he couldn't wait to eat Li Mu alive.
The kitchen god of the Chuanqi clan is not a permanent title, it is equivalent to the president of the United States, and it will be elected every once in a while, and the selected excellent chefs will temporarily obtain the title of kitchen god until the next election, until a better chef appears.
Of course, unlike the presidential election, the chefs don't need to promise anything, just look at the contributions they have made to the culinary world over the years.
For example, the creation of a certain influential dish, the discovery of a certain widely used spice, etc., the higher the Cheng dù recognized by the Chuanqi people, the higher the probability of being selected.
Whether it is a human being or a Chuanqi tribe, they are animals that like the new and forget the old, so the general kitchen gods are served by the Chuanqi tribe who have made great contributions in recent years.
This Diego has also been a chef in one realm, but he has only done one realm, but even so, it can already prove how exquisite his cooking skills are.
Although a good chef does not necessarily deserve to be a chef, those who can be a chef must be a super-first-class chef.
Li Mu looked calm, not half nervous, he has the ability of the seven-star sword Wren, what he said just now is not grandstanding, Diego's lunch dishes, there are indeed some problems.
"Your Excellency is the kitchen god of the Chuanqi clan?" Li Mu looked at Diego, who almost had the kitchen knife on his neck, and asked.
"It used to be." The Chuanqi people have been making a living from art since ancient times, and things like intrigue and intrigue are not their specialty, and they do not have the habit of cheekily putting gold on their faces.
"Tsuruzen-sama. If I could point out the defects in these dishes, would you agree to give me the list of ingredients first? Li Mu turned to Hechan and asked.
"You Yi people like to play this game." Tsuruzen paused. Then he said, "Well, as long as what you say is really reasonable and convincing." I can give you the list of materials first. ”
Crane Zen has a lot of confidence in Diego, when he met Diego during the interstellar expedition, after tasting Diego's local food, he was immediately shocked, and then Crane Zen spent a lot of money, thought of many ways, and invited Diego to be his personal chef, which is nearly a hundred years.
In such a long time, Tsuruzen has never let him down with a single dish. Occasionally, I try the dishes of other chefs, but it is Tsuruzen's dishes that are the most palatable.
Li Mu was slightly happy in his heart, turned his head to look at Diego again, and then walked directly to the four dishes that had been placed on the table.
Diego used to be a god of cooking, and his cooking skills naturally have nothing to say, this is the best chef Li Mu has ever seen, those chefs on Tianyun Star are worse than Diego, as can be seen from these four dishes. His culinary skills are very high.
"Can I taste it?" Li Mu looked at Diego.
"Whatever, but wait until you can't say anything, or nonsense, what I'm going to eat. I'll take them out with my own hands. Diego waved the kitchen knife in his hand, looked at Li Mu coldly and said.
In fact, Diego was already quite annoyed with Li Mu. As a Chuanqi person, others can question his appearance. It is possible to dislike his character, and even to insult him. But there is absolutely no Chuanqi person who can endure the unwarranted accusations of others about his cooking, which is the dignity of being a Chuanqi person.
Li Mu smiled slightly, picked up the tableware, tasted a dish that I don't know what kind of plant was cut into shreds, cooked, put it in my mouth and chewed it carefully, and then swallowed it slowly.
"It's good, the taste is superb, and the heat is just right." Li Mu praised it.
"It's useless for you to say these things now, and if you can't say the shortcomings, the consequences should be clear." Diego said, holding the kitchen knife.
"I know very well." Li Mu nodded, but did not directly say what the shortcomings of this dish were, but continued to taste the remaining three dishes.
"Great taste, this umami is simply amazing, how did you do it?" After Li Mu ate a piece of meat from an unknown animal, he couldn't help but praise.
Diego snorted coldly but didn't speak, and he didn't know if he disdained to talk to Li Mu, or if this was his unique secret recipe and didn't want others to know.
Hechan on the side couldn't help frowning, he felt very dissatisfied with Li Mu's words and deeds, the reason why he agreed to let Li Mu stay was not to see Li Mu patting Diego's ass, but to see what shortcomings Li Mu could say about Diego's cuisine, this is what a gourmand wants to see.
However, Li Mu praised one after eating one, and he couldn't see that he was trying to point out the shortcomings of Diego's cooking, which made Crane Chan feel very impatient.
endured until Li Mu finished the fourth dish and said a few words of praise, Hechan finally couldn't help but say, "Don't you really think that you can finish the job with a few words of praise?" Even if Diego is photographed comfortably by you, and you don't care about you, you play this trick in front of me for no reason, do you think I will let you go lightly? ”
"Don't worry, Lord Hezen, I naturally have my reasoning." Li Mu said with a blank expression: "I praise these four dishes because the color, aroma and taste of these four dishes are really good, and they are the best dishes I have tasted over the years." The taste is very fine, it can be seen that the person who makes the four dishes has a high talent in taste, the taste of various seasonings and materials is just right, and they can increase their flavor with each other, but they will not compete for each other's taste, so the taste is layered, and the taste is layered when you enter it, there is an inducement from shallow to deep, there is an instantaneous explosion of impact, there is a smoothness of fusion and mixing, there is an unpredictable ingenuity, and the taste of the four dishes has a different sense of overlapping. Together, there is no sense of abruptness, but it is unexpectedly delicious, which shows that the chef's seasoning ability and ability to grasp the taste have reached the realm of perfection. ”
"Hmph, I don't see you still know some tastes." Diego snorted coldly, but he could see that his face had eased a lot.
Any art, if there are only great artists, and there are no people who can appreciate these arts, then the soul of the artist will be lonely.
It's like a painter who paints a very proud painting and shows it to others, and others say it's good-looking, but they can't say what is ingenious about this painting, why it's good-looking, and what ingenious thoughts and life insights of the painter are contained in it.
If someone says that it is wonderful and the true heart of the painter, it will naturally make the painter happy.
It's just that people in this world, after all, only a few people really study these things, and most people are still just staying on the overall impression, so naturally it is impossible for everyone to say the wonders.
"The control of the heat is also incredible, just like this dish, the meat slices are not baked just right, and the mastery of the heat is simply an art. If this meat slice is roasted more than half of the meat, the moisture in the meat will be lost too much, so that the mouth becomes a little stiff, now this kind of baking, is already the peak of this meat slice, more than a point is hard, less than a point is too soft and weak. When roasting, the treatment of the fat is also amazing, there is no grease at all, it is completely dependent on the meat itself oil baking and penetration, but it can be done so just right, it is really amazing, I think it is the time to choose the meat material, and I have worked very hard, each piece is taken from a special part, so that the distribution of the fat is just right, and the fat is just right to meet the needs of the meat, plus the miraculous fire control zhì, in order to roast such a superb barbecue. Li Mu finished his words in one breath before he let out a long breath, and then took a deep breath, as if he was intoxicated by the wonderful aroma of barbecued meat.
"These meats are taken from the belly of the mountain and river shark six inches below the belly of the mountain and river shark during the rainy season of the six-month big valley, and only such a piece can be taken out of each mountain and river shark." Diego had no anger on his face at this time, and gradually said with some pride.
Li Mu's words completely hit his pride, this roasted mountain and river shark did cost him a lot of thought, don't look at such a dish, it took him nearly an hour just to get the meat.
"Can you see the difference in the meat of this mountain and river shark?" Diego couldn't help but ask Li Mu.
"Of course it's different, this meat should be cut directly from the living body, not killed first and then sliced, otherwise it would be difficult to have such a sweet and delicious taste." Li Mu said directly.
"You know the beauty of it." Diego completely lost his previous menacing appearance, looked at Li Mu, and waited for him to continue.
"In addition, the shape of these four dishes can make people feel appetizing at a glance, which not only has an artistic layout, but also a very careful color matching, in the case of material selection, seasoning and heat are so extreme, but also can take into account the color mixing, which is really commendable, completely elevates cooking to the realm of art." When Li Mu said this, Diego couldn't help but grin.
"According to what you say, these four dishes are simply the best of color, aroma and taste, why did you say such a thing just now?" Hechan listened to Li Mu say so much, and he understood that Li Mu was really a person who understood food, but if Li Mu said such sensational words in order to stay, it would already be regarded as slandering Diego, in this case, Hechan was still very disliked.
"What I said above is just to talk about the advantages of these four dishes, although they have so many advantages, but when you talk about them so seriously, these four dishes are very, very bad, and they can't be put on the table at all, but they are the work of apprentices who have not yet graduated, and at most they are eaten by themselves in the back kitchen."
As soon as Li Mu said this, Hechan was dumbfounded, and Diego's face, which was still grinning just now, suddenly turned hideous and bruised, and he couldn't wait to slash Li Mu's stinky mouth with a knife. (To be continued......)
