Chapter 20: You Don't Know?
Chen Er still looked unhurried, "Don't be nervous, don't worry, you just need to play at a normal level......
Koike Toshitoku glanced at Chen Er, and then hung his head a little discouraged.
"You probably don't know...... My cooking skills are pretty bad now......"
Chen Er shook his head very seriously, "I haven't eaten the food you cooked, so I can't make empty comments." ”
"Besides, the guests haven't eaten the food you've cooked, so how do you think they don't like it?"
Koike Toshitoku was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Chen Er turned around and entered the dining room.
Koike Toshitoku followed behind, then looked at the ingredients and was stunned, "What should I do?" ”
Chen Er glanced at him, "Do what you do best." ”
Koike Toshitoku thought for a moment, and then said to himself, "The best at it...... It's supposed to be sushi......"
So he took out the rice and salmon and started making sushi.
Chen Er turned on the live broadcast, chatting with fans while preparing the ingredients slowly and methodically.
"The live broadcast is also very literary and artistic, and I finally caught the last train of a wave of literature and art, you have to let me pretend to be a good force."
Chen Er took out a basket of freshly picked osmanthus flowers as he spoke.
"Today's first dish, osmanthus cake!"
Cinnamon is a valuable variety of osmanthus.
The laurel leaves are oblong and oval, with orange-red flowers, and the fragrance is very strong, and it has a high garden ornamental value. At the same time, cinnamon is also a precious spice and can be used as a food spice.
"Cinnamon and red beans, square bamboo, and green calyx plum are collectively known as the four treasures of Yanshan. In addition to Huaxia, only some Asian countries have a small amount of cultivation, and these osmanthus picked by the anchor today have taken a lot of effort to pick. ”
Tea eggs invaded the earth: "Chen Laoshi, just say it directly, whose garden did these osmanthus steal from?" ”
Chen Er raised his eyebrows, "Stealing from someone else's garden?" How is this possible? ”
"Am I that kind of person?"
Chen Er said righteously, "Of course, these osmanthus are stolen from the botanical garden, how can ordinary people grow ...... at home?"
Fans: "......"
Chen Er poured out all the cinnamon in the basket and soaked it in water.
Then he made a boo gesture to the camera.
"Don't imitate it, children......"
The osmanthus cake to be made today is still from "Zunsheng Eight Notes".
The ingredients needed are licorice, cinnamon, glutinous rice flour, and sticky rice flour.
Chen Er first put the licorice into the pot, added water, and boiled it into licorice water.
"Licorice is a very versatile Chinese medicinal herb."
"It mostly grows in arid and semi-arid desert steppes, desert edges and loess hills. Roots and rhizomes are available for medicinal purposes. ”
"The smell is slight, sweet and special. Functions: Clearing heat and detoxifying, expectorant and cough relieving, etc. ”
So this osmanthus cake made today, adding a little licorice water, can not only make the pastry more nutritious, but also increase the sweetness of the pastry.
Once the licorice is boiled, drain the licorice and leave the water for later use.
Scoop up the washed cinnamon, drain the water, mix it directly with glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour, then add appropriate licorice water, stir evenly, put it into a mold, and press it tightly.
Then put it in the steamer and steam.
After Chen Er finished the osmanthus cake, he took the time to take a look at Koike Toshitoku and found that he had only made one plate of sushi.
Chen Er was surprised to see that when he was in college, he ate at an authentic sushi restaurant owned by an islander.
The sushi chef is very professional in making sushi and the process of making it is very particular, but it is not as slow as Toshitoku Koike.
At this time, Rina Koike came and knocked on the door.
"Guests have already arrived, asking if there is a menu."
As he spoke, he gently pushed open the door, came out with his head exposed, and stared at Chen Er.
Chen Er shook his head, "There is no menu, and they will have to wait a while before they just start cooking." ”
Rina Koike's eyes widened in surprise, wouldn't it be too strange to have no menu?
But she didn't say anything, just silently retracted her head.
Because she has confidence in Chen'er's craft.
Moreover, she also heard from the two overseas students in Huaxia that Chen Er can cook a lot of dishes, and if she really needs a menu, I'm afraid ten menus are not enough to write.
Then, the guests who come to eat today don't need to do anything, and they can watch the menu for a night.
Rina Koike was amused by her own thoughts, and then walked briskly to the group of guests and conveyed Chen'er's meaning.
Everyone thought it was a novelty, but they didn't expect that this restaurant would have no menu.
A young man who looked very active asked Rina Koike with a smile, "Is it possible that the chef can name the dish that we can name?" ”
Rina Koike raised her chin very proudly, "Of course!" ”
"But I'm afraid you don't know the names of the dishes!"
"Oh?" This time, the person who asked the question was Emi Yamaguchi, who had been sitting upright.
Rina Koike looked at Emi Yamaguchi and nodded vigorously, "It's true!" ”
"The chef is a Chinese chef!"
is also the reason why I talked with Chen Er all day today, and at this moment, Koike Rina has a good understanding of Chinese food.
From Chen'er's mouth, she learned a lot of knowledge that she didn't know before.
For example, there are many subdivisions of Chinese cuisine, and different cuisines have different characteristics and are closely related to the local regional culture.
Even Chen Er, who is now in his twenties, told Rina Koike directly.
The Chinese food he has eaten so far is only a fraction of all the dishes in Chinese food.
This is also the result of Chen Er not repeating the cooking almost every day.
One can imagine how large and complex the cuisine of Chinese food is.
However, the guests who came to eat did not respect Chinese food as much as Rina Koike.
Among them, except for Emi Yamaguchi, everyone else heard that the chef was a Chinese chef, and they all thought it was a little incredible.
Then the discussion began.
"Chinese food likes to put a lot of oil and all kinds of condiments, I've been losing weight recently, I'm afraid I can't ......eat it," a slightly chubby girl with a round face hesitated.
Koikerina glanced at her, and almost asked her directly, why didn't she talk about losing weight when she first came, but now that she heard that the chef is a Chinese chef, she said that she lost weight?
But she didn't have time to ask, and the mood of the discussion became more and more high.
"Chinese food is greasy and not very hygienic ......"
"I've heard that there are many types of Chinese food, but many of them are very spicy, and I'm most afraid of spicy food......
"I heard that there is a dish of pork brain in Chinese food?"
"No, it's a disgusting feeling......"
"Chinese food especially likes to eat offal, don't you know?"
Rina Koike rolled her eyes when she heard this, but she couldn't interject, so she had to walk away in a huff.
