Chapter 11: The Undercurrent Moves (3/3, Ask for Recommendation Votes!!)

"A variation of the spicy fried fish steak?"

Zhao Youqian looked at the dish in front of him and showed a smile.

"It's just a different cooking method, but there's a lot to make up!"

Don't look at the change of fried cod and steamed cod, the difference in taste is completely different, frying is to reduce the moisture of the fish to concentrate the umami of the fish, and bring out the rich fat aroma inside the cod.

However, steamed fish is different, steaming is a cooking method to maintain the original flavor of the ingredients to the greatest extent, and let its moisture fully retain in the inside of the fish, and even steaming will reduce the umami of some of the fish due to the spread of water vapor.

This is also the place where the diving steamed fish made by Miyoko Hojo was deducted points before, although the heat of the steamed fish seems to be perfect, it is actually still big!

At that time, there was nothing wrong with the fish being tender and delicious, but some of the water and umami inside still flowed out, and it had to be made up for by other means, which Hojo Miyoko did not do.

Looking at the confident eyes of the two Aldini brothers, Zhao Youqian picked up the spoon.

First, the crispy pan-fried cod fillet is crushed, and then a piece of cod skin is scooped with a spoon with the sauce and the fish meat and stuffed into the mouth.

"Huh?"

With a look of surprise, Zhao Youqian nodded.

"I know that it is very clever to use the steamed fish broth to pour the fish meat, and I also add a little fish broth to the spicy tomato sauce, so that the flavor of the cod itself is completed, and the fried fish skin also plays a rich pan-fried flavor, and the taste is not blindly tender."

"You're qualified, I'll give you an A-grade evaluation!"

Seeing the two of them smile with joy, Zhao Youqian sighed slightly.

"It's a pity that only one person in the audience has a chance to reach A+, but... There was a problem with the finished product..."

Sweeping to the students who had already finished, he shook his head.

"Mentor Zhao, why, isn't it possible for our dishes to get an A+?"

Hearing Zhao Youqian's sigh, Takmi. Aldini opened his mouth dissatisfied.

"Brother..."

Isami. Aldini tugged at his brother's sleeve, but he knew that it was not a good thing to bump into the instructor in class, especially since Zhao Youqian didn't seem to be the type to talk.

"It's good that you have mastered the exam questions in the in-class test, but you have to know how to surpass the exam questions!"

"Are the problematic ingredients really just traps?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Youqian had already stood up, and then came to the side where there were only a few fish that had been found to be problematic left.

"I'll tell you how to solve the problem of A+ evaluation!"

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, what he was going to say now was the real theory he was going to teach today!

And just as Zhao Youqian stood up, a person who had been silently observing the window outside the classroom finally turned around and left.

She knew that Zhao Youqian's teaching would be smooth sailing in the future.

...

"Erina-sama, don't you want to watch it anymore?"

Shinto Scarlet showed a hint of surprise, and looked at Erina Nagikiri, who was walking away, and couldn't help but speed up her pace and chased after it a few times.

"No, I just wanted to see if he messed up, I didn't think... He did a good job unexpectedly! ”

Erina Nagikiri's blonde hair jumped with her footsteps, but her expression was not as relaxed as she had said.

'Zhao Youqian's approach is completely different from Yuanyue's regular teaching, it is originally out of the limelight, if the teaching style is incompatible with other teachers..."

Geniuses are also human beings, once they are isolated by other teachers, even with the support of the Nagi family, Zhao Youqian is afraid that it will be difficult to open up the situation in Yuanyue.

Especially when other teachers are excluded, it is difficult to say whether students will continue to convince him because of Zhao Youqian's performance in the exam.

And Yuanyue's current authority and ideas have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and voices within Yuanyue who do not want to change or reform also abound.

Zhao Youqian is off to a good start now, but whether he can transform these new students through his methods, or even survive the past three years, is a difficult thing to say.

'Hmph, what do I want to do so much, I just hope he can hold on a little longer, don't embarrass the Nagi family! ’

I don't know what else came to mind, Erina Nagikiri's steps accelerated more and more, and she headed towards her own cooking laboratory.

...

At this time, in the B-233 classroom just now, Zhao Youqian picked up a perch with scales that were still shiny, but the head of the fish was a lot shriveled, and the fish eyes that should be moist when they were fresh were also sunken.

This is one of the freshwater bass that is often eaten, and the scientific name is largemouth bass.

"This is the ingredient you gave up, do you remember why?"

Zhao Youqian's gaze swept to the candidate who was the only one who chose this fish.

"Why did you choose this fish?"

was suddenly named, and the already shy girl's face turned even redder, but she still spoke.

"This fish is not fresh, but the appearance of the scale armor is still shiny, indicating that it is not rotten or broken, although the eyes of the fish are no longer bright, I touched the inner cavity of the fish, and found that it presents a little air-dried feeling, so I think it will have a good flavor to dry this fish overnight, and then steam it with sea salt lemon..."

Hearing this girl's words, many students showed very different eyes, and when they were choosing fish at that time, they didn't seem to look at what was wrong with the fish that were found to be problematic, nor did they check the discarded ingredients.

Instead, an inconspicuous girl did it, and then got a special ingredient.

If they remember correctly, the girl received a B+ rating second only to A.

And she... It seems to be called Megumi Tazo?!

"Yes, you're not wrong, and you've taken into account that when everyone serves steamed fish, the chewy and resilient texture of the dried fish overnight will make people feel different, and let the diners remember that the only thing is that there is a problem with the way it is handled!"

Zhao Youqian nodded, quite satisfied with one of the heroines in this original book, not to mention the basic skills, at least the breadth of thinking about cooking has surpassed all the students present.

"So you guys look at it now, how I'm going to deal with it!"

I saw Zhao Youqian directly put the somewhat shriveled largemouth bass on the cooking table, first used a knife to remove the scales, and then broke open the abdomen.

Unlike other fish, the internal organs of this specially dried fish have been cleaned.

Zhao Youqian just scraped off the residual blood clot in the inner cavity slightly, then made a cut in the vertebrae of the inner cavity, and then took a tissue to clean up the dirty blood in the spine, and then stopped moving.

Then he went to the fire and pulled out a pan.

Put in the oil and fry the broken sea bass directly!

Then, while frying, start preheating the oven and steamer, and line the baking sheet with tin foil and pour it with coarse sea salt!

"What is this for? Steamed fish? ”

Many students exchanged heads and ears, not understanding what Zhao Youqian wanted to do.

Only Wisteria stood up, it was the first time he saw Zhao Youqian cooking with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but show a smile.

And his hand turned his back at some point, and he pressed a switch...
