Chapter Twenty-Six: Confinement Meal (Ask for Recommendation Votes!) )
The glassed eyes blinked twice, and Marui Zenji was a little strange.
According to Tozakura's custom, if you want to rejuvenate, you usually make dishes such as beef or eel, and the two rich in protein and collagen are indeed very effective in rejuvenating the human body.
Since Miyoko Hojo needs to undergo hell training, it is not too surprising that Zhao Youqian can make some rejuvenating dishes.
But what I didn't expect was that it would be these ingredients.
"To put it bluntly, the extreme training method is not the right way, otherwise you wouldn't have to have to take such a course as a residential study that meets the requirements of extreme training..."
Zhao Youqian saw Marui Zenji's doubts, and he also had a good impression of this student who was curious and could see that his goals were constantly moving forward, so he actually helped Marui Zenji more than others, and he taught him more attentively.
"Otherwise, as long as everyone conducts extreme training, they can break through their own bottlenecks? That's unrealistic. ”
"The so-called extreme training is only to strengthen the obvious flaw of a certain part, and by the way, it is just to squeeze the potential that already exists but is not explored for the time being."
"Every extreme training is a helpless consumption of the accumulated heritage every day, you have to understand this."
Marui Zenji's eyes lit up slightly, these things are not explained in books, and there are some points that must be passed on by word of mouth by people who have experience or inheritance.
This is the difference between having a special chef or a lin chef at home and not having an elder to mention something, some things are not clear, you can't lay a solid foundation, some things have been figured out, for young people will not be impatient, but understand what will happen to them in the future, and more dedicated to training.
"However, if this kind of training requires a lot of physical strength, wouldn't eel and beef be more suitable?"
If you don't understand, just ask.,It's also the excellence of Marui Shanji.,But in a place like Yuanyue School Park.,Studying like this shows your weakness and ignorance.,It's also incompatible with this campus.。
Fortunately, Zhao Youqian was not a traditional Yuanyue mentor in the first place, and after glancing at him, he showed a hint of a smile.
"If it's just two or three days of training, or if it involves a whole body exercise, beef and eel are indeed the most suitable for replenishing physical strength, but Hojo's training doesn't require the whole body to be exercised, and her hard work is more about her arms, wrists and waist."
"The beef and eel supplements only restore physical strength, and the effect on relieving fatigue and recovering damaged areas is not significant."
With a sudden look, Marui Zenji looked at the crucian carp that had been processed by Zhao Youqian.
"So you choose collagen-rich crucian carp as an ingredient, as well as pig's trotters and caiyu, which are all dishes that can relieve fatigue and even promote wound healing..."
"If I'm not mistaken... Many of these parts should be used to restore wounds after giving birth to Yaozhou women, and the main ingredient of the confinement meal, right? ”
Confinement is a period of recuperation for mothers in Yaozhou from one month to 42 days after childbirth, during which they are provided with meals for mothers to regulate their bodies and restore wounds, so as to nourish their vitality, restore wounds, and strengthen their physique, especially light, and avoid greasy and spicy.
This is also known as the confinement meal.
Even in the first week of confinement, you can't even consume too much salt, let alone soy sauce, and it is a tradition to restore the lost vitality of production purely by relying on the taste and nutrition of the ingredients themselves.
Zhao Youqian didn't expect that Marui Zenji would even know about this relatively unpopular custom in Yaozhou, but he was quite impressed by him.
"Indeed, I've used some confinement meal recipes in it, and it just so happens that you've been training recently, so you can also see how I handle these ingredients!"
"The traditional confinement meal is mainly light and non-greasy, but Hojo is not really confinement, which we can relax a little, but we still need to focus on stimulating the effect of the ingredients themselves and reducing the flavor allocation in the later stage."
I saw that Zhao Youqian's hand moved, and the remaining crucian carp had also been separated from the flesh and bones, and the knife slashed through the crucian carp only four times, and the flesh and bones had been completely separated, and Marui Zenji also noticed the difference in Zhao Youqian's attack.
Generally speaking, when the fish meat is sliced, it is a whole piece of meat, but when Zhao Youqian started, he seemed to follow a line of the abdomen of the crucian carp, and only slice the meat of the abdomen, and the meat on the back was not cut off.
"Mentor Zhao, what are you..."
He pointed to the crucian carp meat on his back and couldn't help but speak.
"Why don't you want this part of the meat?"
Zhao Youqian smiled.
"The crucian carp spines are small and numerous, and most of the fine spines are in the triangular flesh on the back, but they won't be wasted!"
I saw that Zhao Youqian changed his knife, removed the head and tail of the crucian carp that had been removed from the fish, cut the fish bones into several pieces, and then put them aside.
"These will be fried later, so they won't be wasted, and besides, you have to eat, don't you?"
Then Marui Zenji nodded silently, helping Zhao Youqian while asking why he had to deal with it like this.
Soak soybeans, add kidney beans, and boil with the blanched pig's trotters, which is the practice of the famous old mother's hoof flower in Sichuan Province.
And the crucian carp meat slices, there is no need to even put any extra pickling, just a little shredded ginger and white pepper, with boiled white porridge, it is a bowl of fragrant and delicious crucian carp porridge.
The fish meat is also deboned and sliced, accompanied by green and red peppers, served with soy sauce, steamed over high heat, the bones and the head and tail of the crucian carp are boiled together in the soup, and the shredded white radish is added to make a steamed fish fillet with rice, and the fish bone soup with shredded radish.
Watching Zhao Youqian easily classify and cook several dishes, and cross each other, with different ingredients to overlap the flavors, and activate the energy in the ingredients, Marui Zenji is simply like watching a magic.
"Mentor Zhao, you've already reached the special level, right?"
Seeing that it was only a little more than an hour of work, Zhao Youqian had almost finished preparing all the dishes, leaving only the last cooking effort, and Marui Zenji finally couldn't help the question that had been lingering in his chest for a long time.
How far is Zhao Youqian from the so-called special chef?
After all, in the eyes of many people, Zhao Youqian, who has passed the three-star assessment, seems to have already reached the super-level level, and even cooked several dishes that represent the super-level level.
Only Zhao Youqian himself knew that he was close to the super grade, and there were still some thresholds that were difficult to cross.
Although he is now going to take the special grade assessment, he does have a chance to pass the corresponding questions, but that kind of special grade is still far from the real special chef recognized by Yaozhou.
That's why he's still learning about other systems, and even going through the recipes they've collected at Nagichi's house.
He is still a little bit away from the realm of the super-grade ordinary ingredients that he has at his fingertips, and it is also the most critical point!
