Even though she grew up in a port city, Megumi Tasso, who is proficient in fish rib and aquatic cuisine, didn't know what to do when faced with such a tricky ingredient. And the other students in the same venue also began to cook their own dishes in an orderly manner, and in a hurry, they had to ask Kohei Chuangzhen next to him, "How~ What should I do, Chuangzhen-kun?" ”

"It's really difficult, and I don't have a proper cooking method for the time being." Kohei Chuangzhen also shook his head helplessly, "It's too wasteful to throw away such a big fish like this, why don't we take it away and keep it as a supper." ”

"When is it, you still want to eat!" Megumi Tansoko, who has always been gentle, couldn't help but explode when he saw Kohei Soma's indifferent face, and Ryo Kurokiba, who had clumsily comforted Alice Nagikiri, said, "Kohei's aging skills for saury in the finals of the selection tournament will not be useful this time, whether it is bran or koji, in order to bring out the delicious taste that our salmon, which is the worst quality and fattest in the four seasons, it needs to last at least a few days of deep fermentation." However, the only time left for us to prepare is until sunset, so it is impossible for the examiner to approve of the preparation of fish of this quality, even if it is forced to cook. ”

Nagi Alice, who had regained her composure, calmly analyzed, "What Liangjun said is right, it is impossible to pass the assessment with such ingredients. Even if you go to the fish market now and search for a merchant who uses the [inorganic salt freezing method] to preserve fish, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack during this season. ”

"How can this be, are we so easily dropped out of school? Mom~ I really can't do anything anymore... Megumi Tazo sat down on the ground holding the amulet hanging from her chest.

"Look at their panicked look~~ It's really ridiculous."

"It's just ~ who told them to rebel against the commander of the thistle, they deserve it!"

The cynicism of the surrounding classmates reached everyone's ears, which was tantamount to casting another shadow on the already low mentality. The low and depressing atmosphere infected Erina Nagikiri in the distance, and she couldn't help but look up this way.

"Miss Erina, you don't have to worry, this group of bad students is a matter of course." The examiner, Hiroi, rubbed his hands together and said flatteringly, "In this way, Mr. Thistle can rest assured, because the pests surrounding Miss Erina will be eliminated immediately." ”

"If you really want to drive them out of the far moon, assign them a large salmon that stinks, preferably maggots." Erina Nagikiri sneered with disdain, "You're good, give a fresh dead fish." How could my father choose a fool like you to be the examiner for this one? ”

"Does Erina-sama think they can make a dish that I agree with that quality of ingredients?" Hiroi retorted unconvinced, "Unless they are magicians, they can turn back time!" ”

"Say you're stupid and still don't accept it, hey~ What a waste of expression~" Erina Nagi shook her head with a sneer, lowered her head and continued her work without taking care of the thunderous Hiroi.

。。。

"Okay, don't be so frustrated, we have a chance to win." Kohei Soma clapped his hands and encouraged everyone.

"Could it be that Chuangzhen-kun has come up with a way to cook it?"

"I don't, but he must!" Kohei Chuangzhen kicked Jiang Yunfeng, who was flipping the dead fish.

"Yes, how did we forget Jiang Jun." Everyone has renewed hope.

Jiang Yunfeng shook off the ice slag in his hand and raised his hand to indicate that there was a problem. The examiner, Hiroi, walked over with a gloomy face and asked, "What questions do you have?" ”

"I just want to confirm that the teacher just said that if we are not satisfied with the existing ingredients, we can go outside and look for them ourselves. Does this look include ingredients? ”

"Yes, as long as your final dish is salmon, you can do the rest." Hiroi looked like he had succeeded in his conspiracy, and mocked with the attitude of a victor, "But I still kindly remind you, if you want to buy fresh salmon in the market now, I advise you to die of this heart~ Because all the salmon caught in Hokkaido this season are monopolized by the school park, and now there is no one left in the outside market." ”

"This fish doesn't stink, why change it if you can eat it? Waste is the most shameful act! Jiang Yunfeng stroked the fish and said, "I just found that the ingredients provided by the teacher don't have the flavors I want." ”

"Then you go and find the seasoning you want, I want to see what kind of 'delicious food' you can make in the end~Uhhehe~~" Hiroi thought that Jiang Yunfeng and they wanted to do the last dying struggle, so he turned around and left with a mockery, not wanting to talk nonsense.

"The teacher may know that I am Chinese, but he must not know that I grew up in Guangdong. As an authentic Cantonese person, in addition to flying in the sky, except for boats, walking on the ground with two legs except for people, and four-legged people except for seats and benches, everything can be made delicious. A fish that just died~ It's just a question to send points! ”

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to it~"

Enough nonsense, Jiang Yunfeng no longer bothered with the examiner Guangjing, turned around and asked, "Do you all believe me?" ”

The crowd, who had no choice but to nod.

"What~ Your attitude is so perfunctory, it is clear that you don't trust me~~"

"Alright, no more tricks." Xingping Chuangzhen patted Jiang Yunfeng on the shoulder, "Hurry up and tell me what you think, Hokkaido has a high latitude, the sun sets fast, if you delay it any longer, if you want too many spices, I'm afraid you won't have enough time to find it." ”

"I saw the seasoning when I came, and I simply won't leave this hotel." Jiang Yunfeng put away his hippie smile and put on a serious expression, "Is it the arbor full of small red fruits in the flower field in the atrium of the hotel that you still remember?" Pluck as much fruit from that tree as you can, round and full. Kohei Sojin responded and left.

"Miss Alice, please go to the hotel's flower greenhouse and pick some plants with green leaves, purple on the back of the leaves and veins, old and young. Plus take another handful of mint. Nagi Alice nodded, and turned to leave with Kurokiba Ryo .

Jiang Yunfeng looked at the three people who were far away, and said to Tian Suzumi, who was left behind, "Xiaohui, I'll go find a blender and a large amount of refined salt." Please clean up the fish and wait for us to come back. ”

"Okay."

Jiang Yunfeng rushed out of the room, found the hotel's food pantry under the guidance of the staff, carried a large bag of salt and took a mixer from the hotel kitchen and returned to the assessment venue. At this time, the three people who left earlier also successfully brought back the materials they needed.

"I know what Alice-chan and Kurokiba-kun brought back, it's shiso and mint." Kohei Chuangzhen dumped the jacket pocket stuffed with red fruits on the table, pinched one and took a bite, and asked with a frown, "Ah Feng, what is this, spicy, astringent and sour?" ”

Jiang Yunfeng put down the salt on his shoulder, pinched one and tasted it, and said, "That's right, it turns out that I just glanced at it from a distance, but I didn't expect it to be it!" This thing is called dogwood, also known as Yue pepper. When the pepper native to Mexico was not yet popular in the world, dogwood, peppercorn, and ginger were the main sources of spicy taste for our ancient Chinese. ”

Tian Sue asked curiously, "Dogwood is not mentioned in almost all books that introduce Chinese food in detail, so why has such a historical traditional spice been eliminated?" ”

"Because the spicy taste is not strong enough, and it is not pure." Alice played with the round red fruit and said, "Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places that love spicy peppers are popular, so it is natural to eliminate this." ”

"Okay, okay, don't delay any longer, time is running out." Jiang Yunfeng began to divide the labor, "Chuangzhen, add fresh perilla leaves, mint and dogwood fruits with the kernel removed, add some fresh orange juice and orange peel, and beat them into a pulp with a blender. Miss Alice asks you to blanch the older perilla leaves in hot water for a short time, and then cool them down with ice water immediately. Xiaohui fills half a basin of salt in a large basin, beats the eggs, stirs them into a puree, and then preheats the oven. ”

"Good!!" The people began to do their jobs. Jiang Yunfeng picked up the salmon that was cleaned by Megumi Tanzo from the trough, put a dense cross-shaped knife on both sides of the fish, and stuffed the chopped ginger and green onion into the belly of the fish. Finally, spread a layer of cooking wine and marinate slightly.

Kohei Soma handed over the stirred gray-green sauce and said, "Why don't you strain it first, there are still a lot of plant fibers in it." ”

"No, you don't! When filtered, it doesn't get the taste I want. Jiang Yunfeng took the sauce, poured it on the salmon, and then spread it evenly inside and out with his hands. In the center of the baking tray is a thick layer of egg-soaked salt, followed by a layer of perilla leaves blanched by Alice. Carefully pick up the salmon and place it on top of the basil leaves, pour all the remaining sauce on top, and wrap the fish with the remaining basil leaves. The outside is covered with a thick layer of table salt. A white cocoon wrapped in table salt is formed.

Put it in the oven and set the time for one hour on high heat at 200 degrees. After completing all this, Jiang Yunfeng was afraid to slap the salt on his hands, turned around and said, "Okay, now time is starting to turn back." (To be continued)
