Chapter 426: A Different Technology
So the dwarves sat down with the adventurers.
"First of all, welcome to Ironforge...... How is the city of the dwarves? Looks spectacular, right? ”
The leading dwarf was talking to Les and them.
Les nodded slightly: "That's true." I've heard about dwarven interests before, and you guys are very fond of huge things...... Still, the magnificence of Ironforge was beyond my expectations, and there was not even a human city that could compare to it. ”
In fact, it is...... No human city has ever been built by hollowing out mountains......
"Hehe, I'm very happy to hear this from you. The dwarves have a bold personality and are enthusiastic and generous, in fact, they are very welcome to friends from other races to come and play. Of course, it would be better if we could respect our habits and customs......"
The dwarf smiled and nodded, looking like the neighbor's grandfather.
They were chatting here, and there was a clatter of pots and pans in the kitchen over there. But this kind of noise is different from ordinary kitchens, and there is no clutter at all. Although several culinary masters acted together, there seemed to be a certain rhythm in those sounds...... I have to say that this group of dwarves is indeed worthy of the word "master...... Being able to make cooking into a symphony is not something that anyone can do......
Although there is a Ji Ran mixed in it.
However, Ji Ran's cooking skills can almost perfectly match this group of culinary masters, and his different voices from other culinary masters are very harmoniously intertwined with the voices made by other culinary masters. And this sound, instead of affecting the rhythm of other cooking masters, adds a strange rhythm to it......
So. Sometimes the master can't be judged by common sense. Can you imagine what it must be like for a group of culinary masters to suddenly move into music?
People chatting outside listened to the voices. There was a smile on their faces.
"Regardless of the outcome of their match, we were able to enjoy a good meal today...... And it's a different style. The dwarf leaned back, a satisfied smile on his face.
"You're right. Although the things that our Ji Ran usually makes are already delicious, I believe that the dwarven culinary master will definitely bring him more inspiration. ”
Les picked up a glass of wine and took a sip...... You don't want to find any other drinks in the dwarven tavern, only wine, which at best has a different alcohol degree and taste.
"Hehe, it looks like you have a lot of confidence in that young human man...... I'm really looking forward to it. Don't know what kind of delicious food they can make? ”
The dwarf's personality seemed to be completely different from that of other grumpy dwarves, and he always had a smile on his face. And he doesn't seem to care too much about the result of this competition, but more about how delicious it is in the end.
"By the way, you're human adventurers, so you've traveled a lot, right? Speaking of which, I used to travel around the continent decades ago, and I wonder if anything has changed in those places now......" The old dwarf turned around and asked Les and them other questions.
Les could also feel that the old dwarf in front of him should not be an ordinary person...... So his attitude is also good, and he always greets him with a smile.
"I've been to many places, some of which may have remained the same for thousands of years. But there are also places where a lot has changed over the decades......"
While they were chatting. Ji Ran was busy in the kitchen with several cooking masters.
Almost all of the dishes made by the master chefs are very ordinary, and the dishes that will probably appear in any tavern - in their words, the more ordinary the dish, the more it shows the chef's skill.
Ji Ran also admits this, so he chooses home-cooked food. But if it's a real delicacy, it's obviously the best ingredients. Whether or not you can handle the best ingredients is actually a table of cooking skills...... But today, it is clear that the focus is not on this.
The ingredients they choose are very common and can be bought in every market. Of course, even this ingredient must have been carefully selected by the master chefs...... It is the best choice in terms of freshness and quality. It is true that cooking home-cooked food can show Xiàn effort, but if it is said that rotten ingredients are made into food...... It's not a matter of cooking, it's about talking to a magician.
Several culinary masters can be said to have frequent means, and all kinds of skills are expressed by them. And Ji Ran is the same, the cooking action can be said to be beautiful...... Okay, it's a bit of an overkill to describe it, but that wonderful rhythm is no less than that of the culinary masters.
"Judging by your posture alone, you are indeed a human who is proficient in cooking. But your cooking is completely different from ours...... This makes me look forward to it. A culinary master looked at Ji Ran's movements and said.
Ji Ran smiled and didn't look back, his eyes still staring at the wok in his hand: "My expectations for the masters are the same. I've never eaten a dish made by a dwarven culinary master...... In fact, I was amazed by the dwarven dishes. I hope that all the masters can bring me greater surprises! ”
It can be said that although the expressions of several dwarven cooking masters are a little stern, the overall atmosphere is quite kind...... Sure enough, these dwarven masters are also the kind of people who are obsessed with their own world, and once they have a kitchen knife in their hands, they immediately put other things out of the way.
At the beginning, everyone has their own merits, and then the process of actually starting to cook comes.
The dwarven masters basically prepare various sauces first, and then select the meat they need, put oil in the pot, and then put the meat in it......
Large cutlets or something, it's almost a home-cooked meal for the dwarves.
Ji Ran is different. After the same seasoning is made, he washes the meat and vegetables and cuts them into various pieces...... In this respect, he was very different from those dwarven masters.
Of course, the dwarven masters, though surprised, did not say anything. A dish of minced meat. They haven't done it either...... But it's all about pies, pâté and stuff. So. They weren't too surprised by Ji Ran's approach.
The aroma of fried meat is very strong. Coupled with the various sauces made by the dwarven masters in the past, the kitchen is now really full of aroma. The various scents blend together, but they don't look messy, but they have an appetizing feeling...... Of course, this is also a matter of course, and even creatures with different eating habits can smell the deliciousness of something made by a master chef......
And when Ji Ran stir-fried, the aroma was completely different from these rich flavors. It's like a carnation popping up in a yard of red roses. Even if you can't overwhelm each other in terms of quality, it's just as eye-catching.
All the cooking masters turned their heads and looked in Ji Ran's direction. The aroma of Ji Ran's fried dishes is not as strong as fried meat, but it is impossible to ignore...... It was an aroma that the dwarven masters had never felt before, a little lighter, but very fresh. It even gave their weather-beaten noses a boost, and it seemed to glow with a second spring......
It seems that Ji Ran's scrambled tomatoes with eggs have indeed amazed a group of lover masters......
Since Ji Ran planned to make a show in front of the dwarven cooking masters, the dishes he made naturally had a lot to do with things like the meat steaks made by these lover masters. Meat dishes are bound to be there. But there are other things that cannot be missing.
One egg scrambled with tomatoes. A braised pork, a steamed sea bass, a chicken stewed with mushroom soup. The four dishes are very simple, and they can be said to be home-cooked dishes in the original world. Ji Ran usually makes these dishes, so he is very familiar.
But these four dishes are quite a shock to the dwarven culinary masters. It turns out that the dish can still do this? In addition to frying, smoking, and stewing, there are so many cooking methods?
Moreover, the seasoning of these dishes is completely different from what I made...... No thick sauces, no spices, no butter cheese......
There are many other differences, and the dishes made by the director are completely different from theirs. The dwarven cooking masters looked at the dishes made by Ji Ran one by one, and the work in their hands paused from time to time...... Fortunately, they still have the master's vegetarian zhì, and those meals did not have problems because of this.
"What a strange approach...... I've never seen it, but I just have a feeling that the food he cooks is no worse than ours......"
The Redbeard Master muttered a phrase and continued to flip through the steaks in his pan.
"I suddenly felt ...... I seem to be inspired. For so many years, we have been stuck in the dwarven cooking method without an inch, maybe this time we have a chance......" The master of the braided cooking had a complicated look on his face.
All in all, in this atmosphere, all four dishes were cooked. Then, it's time to taste.
A group of master cooks put their dishes on a large table in the tavern - which is basically the case in dwarven taverns - and then all the masters took off their aprons and stuff, washed their hands and sat down at the table.
"Then it's time for the tasting. In fact, we've all tasted the dwarven cooking masters many times, and I'm sure you're the same with your Ji Ran, right? That's why don't we taste it and feel the taste of the other person's food. ”
The old dwarf who had been laughing all the time was immediately recognized by the others.
"Although the food cooked by Ji Ran is indeed delicious, I often want to change the taste or something. The dwarven cooking masters cook their meals to look appetizing...... You're welcome! ”
Baker was the most cheerful of all, and immediately grabbed a knife and fork from the side and began to lay his hands on a cutlet. And the other dishes, such as bacon sausage, charcoal-grilled fish, vegetable soup, etc., were immediately tasted by others.
Les, their side moved, and the dwarves naturally wouldn't be polite. A group of dwarves showed great interest in the colorful and colorful dishes made by Ji Ran. But the others didn't rush to do it, but waited for the old dwarf to use it first.
And the old dwarf was not polite, he reached out and scooped a spoonful of eggs and scrambled tomatoes, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, and his eyes immediately widened.
"This taste...... It's so delicious! (To be continued......)
