Chapter 100: Texture (I)
"Click!"
After lighting the fire, Xia Yan listened to the sound of the stove burning and snorting, and was very satisfied with the kitchen equipment at the Yuanyue examination venue, which was better than the stove in his own shop anyway.
"An hour!"
He turned around and raised a finger at the Ten Masters.
No one spoke in the venue for a while, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly quiet.
"Will there be less water?"
The chief Si Yingshi suddenly broke the dead silence and said.
"It's really less!"
Others also opened the conversation box and expressed their opinions on the steamer link just now.
"This is a complete beef leg, it needs a good heat to steam it thoroughly and steam it!"
Hisashi Teruki said that he was very familiar with Chinese cuisine, the "steaming" set.
"Well, it's going to be simmered for a long time."
"So, if you put less water, you'll definitely burn the pot after a while, right?"
Even Yishihui, the one who has the most confidence in Xia Yan's cooking skills, can't help but show a little suspicious.
He quickly walked to Xia Yan's side, looked at the closed steamer on the stove, lowered his voice and said, "The 'amount of water' you just now is only a few centimeters high, at least you have to submerge the beef leg, right?" If it's a 'steamed beef shank'. ”
Xia Yan glanced at him in surprise.
"There is so much water, I finally used the big health care technique to massage the spices kneaded in, isn't it going to flow out, and the taste is diluted? Well, if it's a 'pseudo-vanilla formula', it can be less tightly controlled......"
Yi Sehui was stunned when she heard this, "Massage big health care technique? ”
He didn't dwell on the strange statement, he couldn't hurry:
"So, how do you cook the whole beef leg in 1 hour?" Pointing to the time of the old wall clock on the wall of the venue, "You have an hour and ten minutes left, and you must submit your answer sheet!" ”
Xia Yan sighed speechlessly: "Water is a powerful medium that conducts fire, yes. ”
"But 'steam' is also one of the mediums of fire!"
"Think about it, how are steamed buns cooked? Isn't it just steaming, and if it weren't for something special, I'd probably have to think about charcoal-grilling beef legs......"
Isusei realized that she was wrong.
I wanted to come up and suggest that he add more water, but I was surprised by his confident words.
He retreated silently.
As a good friend, his reminder will end here at most, and if he forcibly says it, he is trying to impose his thoughts and will on Xia Yan.
He has always known how to be in a good way.
Everyone in the venue had questions about the "amount of water", and outside the venue, Kohei Chuangzhen also scratched his head and expressed similar doubts:
"In this way, can you really steam a whole beef leg?"
Hearing this, Nagi Senzaemon stood in the shadows with his arms crossed, and his face did not fluctuate:
"We'll see!"
An hour passed quietly.
Xia Yan, who was always standing in front of the stove and adjusting the stove valve from time to time, suddenly took a long breath and said, "You can uncover the pot!" ”
Click!
The flames were extinguished at once.
Chief Si Yingshi announced in a timely manner: "Then, the make-up examination is over, Xia Yan, please submit your dishes to the examiner's seat!" ”
The Ten Masters have gathered at a long dining table.
"Plop" sound.
The entire steamer was brought to the dining table very simply by Xia Yan.
The Ten Masters stared at the lid that was about to be lifted.
Xia Yan was about to stretch out his hand, but suddenly someone spoke up and took the initiative to ask, "I'll come." ”
Kobayashi Gentian raised his hand with an excited expression.
At this moment, everyone's expressions became strange.
The red-haired senior sister in the second seat didn't care about what was in everyone's eyes, and said with a glow on her face: "Last time, it was a year ago, it's a pity, I couldn't witness Xia Yanjun's cooking at such a close distance, and the amazing moment of unveiling, now I want to seize this opportunity!" ”
That sounds a little strange.
Yishihui and I looked at each other according to the discipline for a long time, one was twitching at the corners of his eyes, and the other was constantly pulling at the corners of his mouth.
I say.
When did this "monster" add a new brainless fan?
This fan is a blockbuster character.
The second seat of the Ten Masters!
When Xia Yan was also stunned, the others had different thoughts and flickering eyes, and when the scene was about to freeze, a delicate palm that did not greet him came out of the air.
"Ah, stop!" Kobayashi gentian shouted, it was too late to stop it.
The lid of the steamer, which has been slightly upturned from the corners of her mouth, reveals a touch of pleasure Erina Nagikiri, and the whole thing is mentioned in the air.
"Whew, whew, whew......"
Moment.
The surging mist covered the steamer all at once.
A moment ago, they rushed to reveal the dishes, and the two female ten masters closest to the steamer seemed to have been cast a fixing spell, and their white and smooth foreheads overflowed with hot sweat.
In their field of vision, the wild hot mist was like a white projection screen.
What the nose smells is not a strong spice flavor, but a savage, primitive, and rough smell.
The hot mist cleared quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the steamer appeared in the field of vision again.
However, the moment I saw the complete corbel.
"Boom!"
Kobayashi Gentian, Erina Nagikiri, and their bodies faintly trembled with the voice that inexplicably echoed in the depths of their hearts.
It seemed that there was a giant's leg wrapped in flames, with a savage, primitive and rough aura, and stomped heavily on their hearts!
In addition to them, the others also had surprised and shocked expressions.
It's not that in the pot, the steamed beef leg has an unbelievably delicate appearance.
On the contrary, this steamed beef leg is really not good-looking.
The criss-crossing knife edges on the surface of the corbel have been greatly torn apart because of steaming, and coupled with the rendering of spice color, it looks like a large canyon with muddy water.
The whole leg looks soggy because of the steam.
The soup, which had been strictly controlled before, had already dried up after an hour of simmering, and combined with the spilled spices, it became a large irregular lump of crimson mud, which condensed at the bottom of the steamer.
At first glance, it looks like a huge corpse in the red primeval land!
"Gollum~"
There was a sound of swallowing.
Even Xia Yan himself quietly wiped the corners of his mouth.
Hold the grass!
He wasn't very calm inside.
Why does such a rugged flavor have a strange magic that completely pries open the copper door of appetite?
Outside the door, Kohei Sojin smelled the smell that had escaped, put his hands on his lower abdomen, and had a surprised and unbelievable expression on his face:
It seems like......
Stomach pouch ......
It's all getting rough with the smell! I want to eat it! I want to eat!
The beef leg is also hot and thin.
Seeing the picture at the bottom of the pot, for some reason, Xia Yan didn't plan to take out the beef leg by wearing heat-insulating gloves, for fear of destroying the rare cooking art oil painting.
He took a long knife and poked it down to cut off pieces of flesh.
He was at the table, holding a small plate, and quickly finished the first one.
"This is the first set, you ......"
