Chapter 93: Admit defeat
Xu Qingsheng is also curious about what kind of taste can make everyone have such a reaction.
Instead of dipping the sauce, the fish is put directly in the mouth.
A cold touch bursts on the tip of the tongue, followed by the tender meat that seems to melt in the mouth, bringing out the delicious taste of mackerel.
"Great!" Xu Qingsheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Kogoro Maeda.
"Try this." Kogoro Maeda pointed to the sauce and smiled mysteriously. This is his secret sauce, and it can be said that the essence of the whole dish is in this small sauce. If there is no sauce, probably many people can perfectly restore the taste of the ingredients themselves, but the sauces used by each person are different, and there is a huge difference.
Xu Qingsheng dipped a piece of fish meat in the dish and put it in his mouth.
In an instant, a completely different feeling appeared in Xu Qingsheng's mind. If the feeling of the fish meat to Xu Qingsheng before was a fresh mackerel, then now, this mackerel is wandering in the endless ocean!
"This ...... How is this done? Xu Qingsheng was a little distracted, he had never been exposed to such a cuisine, and he could actually affect the picture in his mind from his sense of taste.
"This is my secret hoisin sauce." Kogoro Maeda said proudly that it took him a lot of effort to find the right material from SAO, and to reproduce the taste in the real world, and even the effect is still surpassing!
"I throw in the towel!" Xu Qingsheng was convinced, he knew that the opponent was a guy of this level, and what was it better to admit defeat early. Although Xu Qingsheng's cooking level is not bad, compared to the person in front of him, this is a person who has been studying how to make delicious dishes all his life, how can this compare?
But then again, Xu Qingsheng really thinks that the name of Kogoro Maeda is a detective, I really didn't expect that it was really as he said, he was a famous cooking master, and this mackerel sashimi is worthy of the name of the master!
Hearing Xu Qingsheng simply admit defeat and even put away the ingredients boiling in the pot, Kogoro Maeda was a little overwhelmed. Isn't it time to show off your dishes and let everyone compare them? What's the matter with you conceding defeat so directly?
However, Xu Qingsheng didn't care what he thought, he was not a professional cook, and he didn't understand their rules. In Xu Qingsheng's opinion, if you have already tasted the other party's cuisine, and you can't do it at the same level, don't continue to be ugly, isn't it good to admit defeat straightforwardly? He still has this self-knowledge. Besides, there is no shame in losing to such a character.
Others are also a little different, especially Keita, who can't even believe their ears.
"Great God, you're too modest, if you use that, you must ......"
"Alright, Keita!" Xu Qingsheng interrupted Qitai's words and continued: "At best, I only have that dish to handle, and there is still a big gap compared to the master. ”
Kogoro Maeda was even more curious now. From Xu Qingsheng's tone, he is confident in "that dish", and even if he has tasted his own cuisine, he thinks that the two are on the same level! Maeda Kogoro doesn't think that Xu Qingsheng is untargeted, and can simply admit his failure, will such a person use a nonsensical dish to fight for his face?
"What's that?" Since he was curious, Maeda Kogoro simply asked directly, anyway, he could see that Xu Qingsheng was the kind of guy who was very cheerful, and if he was willing to say anything, he would tell him as long as he asked.
"That's? I named it charcoal-grilled mackerel. Xu Qingsheng was a little embarrassed, it was actually just the result of his mess, but it was unexpectedly delicious, and in retrospect, it wouldn't even be much worse than the mackerel sashimi in front of him.
"Charcoal-grilled, mackerel?" Kogoro Maeda frowned slightly, thinking about how the two would come together. In his impression, mackerel is grilled with salt more often, and this method of charcoal grilling is relatively backward in his opinion, and it is extremely unenvironmentally friendly.
"Yes." Xu Qingsheng nodded, and carefully explained the specific cooking process to Kogoro Maeda.
Kogoro Maeda forced his eyes to simulate the method Xu Qingsheng said in his mind, and after a while, he finally opened his eyes. For a master chef of his level, just the first time he came into contact with the cooking method, he could already simulate the final cooking in his mind.
"You're a genius! If you had the chance to leave this world, would you be interested in studying cooking with me? Maeda Kogoro's expression was very complicated, Xu Qingsheng's cooking method was very simple, but it contained many problems with the combination of ingredients, and even he had to admire Xu Qingsheng's imagination. After learning that Xu Qingsheng only made this kind of dish for the first attempt, he felt that Xu Qingsheng had a very high talent in cooking.
"Well...... I'm afraid not. ”
"Why? Do you think I'm not good enough to discuss cooking with you? Kogoro Maeda was visibly displeased. Let's not talk about the real world, there are a lot of people who want to ask him for guidance, even if Xu Qingsheng doesn't know his name, but he has already tasted his cuisine himself, do you still have doubts about his cooking level?
"No, no, master, you misunderstood." Xu Qingsheng was helpless, who has the kung fu to learn cooking from you? When SAO is cleared, I'm going to go to other worlds. However, I can't say this, so I can only change the reason: "My ambition is not cooking, I still have important things to accomplish, and I don't have much time to study cooking." ”
"That's right...... Then there is no way. Kogoro Maeda has some regrets. From his point of view, as long as Xu Qingsheng studies hard, his future achievements will not be weaker than him, but Xu Qingsheng himself has no consideration in this regard, and he is unwilling, so he has to give up.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first." The purpose of this trip has been achieved, I met the god in Qitai's mouth, and also showed my cooking skills, the only regret is that I did not taste Xu Qingsheng's charcoal-grilled mackerel. But it doesn't matter, you already know the method, just go back and try it yourself. Kogoro Maeda was confident that he would be able to develop this dish.
Maeda Kogoro left, and several people from the Black Cat Group on a moonlit night could no longer care about being reserved, and quickly snatched up the plate of mackerel sashimi.
"Ah, it's delicious, satisfying!" Keita said with a happy face. In the snatching just now, he grabbed the most, although Xu Qingsheng and Kirito are not bad, but after all, they have to be divided between two girls, so it is still Keita who eats the most.
"Keita, didn't you notice something missing in the guild?" Seeing Qitai's proud appearance, Xu Qingsheng said to him expressionlessly.
"Well, when you say that, it seems that the number of people is a little smaller."
"Stupid! Then don't go and get them back! ”
"Oooh! I'll go! ”
