Chapter 98: Preliminary Examination

"The topic of this special make-up exam is ......"

"Specify the ingredients!"

Si Yingshi got up, walked to a dining car, and pointed to a bloody thigh on the large plate above.

This is clearly the hind legs of some kind of large livestock, large and sturdy.

"Beef legs?"

Yishihui, who entered the door with Xia Yan, seemed to know the appearance of the exam questions for a long time, and was more active than Xia Yan, a candidate, and walked closer to the dining car.

It's just that when they looked closely, the expressions of the two gradually became strange.

As a matter of common sense, the hind legs of any animal, the flesh in this area, can be called the coarseest.

The reason is naturally directly related to the amount of exercise.

The beef tenderloin in the area commonly known as the 'filet mignon' area is the area where the whole cow has the least amount of exercise, so naturally, the meat is also the most tender and soft, and it is delicious no matter how you cook it.

As a back thigh that supports the body and supports running, the musculature is too strong, and the flesh is definitely rough.

Ichishihui, I was surprised by the time, but it was not the "rough" meat.

But......

On the beef leg meat, there is an irregular layer of "frost fall".

These are fat layers!

Appearing on the beef leg is like the creator suddenly being interested, and playing a tricky joke with the world!

The two looked at each other.

"Truncated from a variant of the 'Wagyu' body?"

A voice with a mischievous smile said: "You guys are late, just ten minutes ago, the people from the Yuanyue Logistics Department just left, this bull leg was actually sent by the director of the logistics department himself, it seems that the commander-in-chief gave a death order." ”

It is a Kobayashi gentian with long blood-red hair.

She put her hands behind her back, approached Xia Yan with a smile, and stared at him up and down.

For a moment, a small, white hand suddenly stretched out.

"Why don't you get to know each other officially?" Kobayashi Gentian smiled and showed sharp little tiger teeth.

She wore the Enzuki uniform with a bad big sister flavor.

Inside the jacket, a thin sweater, then a white shirt.

The top few buttons were not buttoned, and when he leaned slightly and stretched out his hand to hold it, he suddenly revealed an unfathomable career groove.

Xia Yan looked down at her outstretched palm, and found that the orange sweater she was wearing inside, the sleeves were much longer than the sleeves of her uniform, and they covered half of her palm.

is a little subtle, this third-grade female ten masters, Xia Yan's first impression is quite complicated.

It's probably mature and charming, with a little playfulness and cuteness.

Finding that Xia Yan saw her grow a section of sweater sleeves, Kobayashi Gentian smiled and said, "What, do you want to hold them all and feel the temperature of the palm of your senior sister's hand?" ”

"Sure enough, you need love!"

"In such an examination room, there is a group of ill-intentioned guys as an audience, and sure enough, only the palm and embrace of me, a senior sister, can make you feel warm."

The self-familiarity of this senior sister made Xia Yan secretly feel interesting, and her fingers were together and touched her palm, but she didn't just hold it.

Seeing Kobayashi Gentian's regret, he immediately revealed.

He couldn't help but laugh: "I don't need any warmth for the time being. ”

"Moreover, if you want to be warm, you don't cough ......" his gaze swept to Kobayashi Gentian's crisp chest career line that was still not to be underestimated, and suddenly his words changed.

"Senior Sister Kobayashi, you seem to be quite familiar with me?"

"That's for sure, in fact, a year ago, I wanted to get to know you well, and then I heard the news that you were taking a leave of absence."

A cold voice that made the air plummet by more than a dozen degrees Celsius interrupted the two who were in high spirits to continue talking:

"The exam has started, and the time limit is 2 hours!"

Erina Nagi stood not far away with her arms crossed, her eyes sweeping sharply.

"Oh, I won't bother you."

Kobayashi Gentian waved his hand, and a sweater sleeve grew out, like an orange knitted glove.

Xia Yan watched this woman in the second seat bounce and return to the group of ten masters.

He quietly, on the list and notes in his mind.

The string that belongs to Kobayashi Gentian is to mark a question mark for the time being.

To put it simply, this halberd object is to be determined.

Just as Issehui said when she was in Polar Star Liao, this is a good opportunity to observe all the ten masters!

Xia Yan didn't rush to look at the ingredients specified for the exam, but looked at the ten masters present, except for Isshiki Hui, Kuga Teruki, Kobayashi Gentian and Erina Nagikiri, one by one.

They didn't come up to talk about making friends, so they looked at each other coldly.

Xia Yan would not put a hot face on his cold buttocks, and went up to ask for friends, and soon, his eyes finally fell on a man who wore glasses and had his hair combed neatly back.

"Eizayama Ezuya ......"

Say the name silently.

The ninth seat, nicknamed 'The Alchemist'.

Not to mention his cooking skills, his talent for business and wealth accumulation is terrifying, and he has already developed his personal business empire outside of school before he graduated from Yuanyue.

Ruishan, who was locked by his gaze, lowered his head and pushed the frame of his glasses, the lenses reflected the light, and he couldn't see any reaction or eyes.

He was also a sophomore.

It is the same session as Xia Yan, Yishihui, and Jiu I Zhaoji.

Last year, he still witnessed Xia Yan and Jiu Ji's halberd from the perspective of the audience.

In fact, after their 'autumn selection', the new top ten lineup has been formed, and the discussion about the new top ten members has not stopped, both inside and outside the school.

Among them, the most controversial is, of course, the legendary figure who "disappeared".

The student who defeated the eighth seat of Kuga Teruki.

It didn't even rank in any of the top ten.

Some people say that on the day of his return, the seventh seat will be divided by the seventh, and the eighth, ninth, and tenth seats below should tremble.

In fact.

Eizan Ezuya's mood at this time is indeed extremely bad.

Damn it!

What are you staring at me! Feed!

A few drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

He wanted to open his face, roar a few words, and vent the inexplicable panic in his heart at the moment.

Fortunately, Xia Yan didn't continue to look at him, and quickly turned his head and turned his back to the dining car, looking at the ingredients he wanted to prepare with relish.

"This amount of fat really doesn't look like beef shank." Xia Yan put on disposable gloves and grabbed the corbel.

It's a bit overwhelming to hold it with both hands.

"With such a tight frost layer, it is impossible to separate the oil, so the first difficulty in the food test question is to deal with excess oil?"

Xia Yan thought about it, his nose moved, and after a certain amount of developed sense of smell, he could easily smell a strong smell.

"Why is the smell so scary?" He was shocked.

Faintly, there is also a lingering stench.

Si Yingshi took the manual of the ingredients, read the book next to him, and explained: "According to the manual of the logistics department, the smell is too strong, and the volatile fatty acids in the meat are too strong. ”

"As for the fishy smell, it is the corbel and the hoof together, the unremoved muscles and bones, and the ammonia in the sarcoplasmic protein......"

"Stop!"

Xia Yan doesn't want to hear professional terms like "volatile fatty acids" and "sarcoplasmic protein" now.

He rubbed his temples, "Let me be quiet and think about it." ”

When it came to the way to get rid of the fishy smell, at least a dozen ordinary and easy-to-use methods instantly surged into his mind.

For example, let the beef leg and white radish be boiled together.

For example, before cooking, add a little rice vinegar to the water and boil the beef leg first.

Next, it's time to get to the use of some spices.

Angelica dahurica.

Although the taste is bitter, it can effectively remove the fishy smell.

There is also 'small langal', the usage is similar to angelica, but it is the same as angelica, the amount must be carefully controlled, even if there is an extra subtle 1 gram, the flavor of the dish will be crooked.

Xia Yan really wanted to spread his hands:

Lo and behold, it comes back to the control and use of spices.

This is enough to see how versatile the 'seasoning' technique is, or rather, the special product of the system after his "Escape Wind" advanced change, the secret spice packet, the extra fickle characteristics, is really every pack has every kind of usage!

Coincidentally, last night, when he was preparing and drawing cards for the tea party, he pulled out a 'universal stew spice packet' with a less complicated structure.

There are angelica, shilanga and other spices that suppress the fishy smell in it!

"You don't have to use the original! It's a bit of a waste! ”

"I think I should try to imitate and learn the formula inside the spice packet, maybe I will find the trick in the field of premium spices?"

Soon after the make-up exam began, outside the door, an old man with white hair and white beard quietly arrived with Kohei Chuangzhen.

As soon as the two of them stood in the shadows of Shijie and Xia Yan's blind spots, they heard Xia Yan's voice coming out:

“…… There are a few spices that are not available here, which are grass fruit, star anise, coriander seeds, ......"

"Ahh

Then, as if something had happened, he ended his sentence with a low cry.

Bite.

Xia Yan checks the late system tasks.
