Chapter 45: A Trio of Taste
But Erina's progress is far more than you think! ’
Seeing that Zhao Youqian's filling was finished and he began to wait for the soup stock to be completed, Nagi Senzaemon showed a smile.
At this time, Zhao Youqian's eyes also fell on Erina Nagikiri, and this was the first time he showed a moving look.
'To do it! ’
'Erina, she... It's grown! ’
Looking at Erina Nagikiri, who was constantly moving frequently under the white kitchen clothes, Zhao Youqian's heart had already given birth to a rare emotion.
...
With her hands stirring like the wind, if she didn't really know what Erina was cooking, she would never have combined these ingredients with fettrenzie.
Some extremely difficult ingredients are constantly taking shape in her hands.
In particular, one of the dishes is very rare in Western cuisine, and almost no one even makes it in particular... Italian blood sausage!
Italian blood sausage, as the name suggests, is a kind of farmhouse dish from northern Italy, which is actually a special dish that appears because of poverty and does not want to waste ingredients.
In northern Italy, because of the climate and mountainous reasons, goats are the main livestock husbandry, so this kind of blood sausage also belongs to the blood sausage of sheep blood, of course, there is also pig blood, but the real tradition is sheep blood.
This type of cooking is actually no longer in Erina Nagikiri's philosophy of perfect cooking, but the fact that she is cooking today shows that her growth is simply visible to the naked eye.
You don't have to deny certain ingredients or dishes because of your own preferences, but you can combine them perfectly and turn them into your own part of the cuisine.
This is where Erina Nagikiri's progress lies.
Of course, making blood sausage is only an evaluation in Zhao Youqian's eyes, and in fact, the production method of Erina Nagi is not as common as blood sausage.
As if making a blood pudding, Erina Nagikiri added a lot of spices to the sheep's blood, and even some parts of the blood were separated.
In her constant stirring, two layers of sheep's blood appeared in the bowl, and the top layer was a variety of spices and bright red blood, with a strong fishy smell.
All that remains is a clear liquid with a hint of crimson.
And Erina obviously went for the lower part.
After she carefully cleaned up the impurities and red liquid on the top layer, Erina's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.
You must know that the bright red parts that are very delicate and soft, even like liquids, are most of the hemoglobin in the sheep's blood, but in order to make the effect she wants, these things must be disposed of in advance, and because the hemoglobin can easily dissolve in the liquid, she must be very careful to clean the upper part.
It was a process that required a lot of patience, and she didn't know how many times she had to repeat it in order to complete it.
Her new dish is also completely different from the flavor of the previous dishes because of this special presence.
Thinking of the first time I tasted that taste, even if it was a delicacy that belonged to my own cooking, the tongue of the gods had evolved directly, and Erina Nagikiri was full of confidence in her own cooking!
The improved consommé jelly, the sheep's blood that has been cleaned of most of the hemoglobin part, and the most crucial third soup jelly, this is the taste trio of Erina's nirvana this time!
It looks like a top-notch dish that looks like a wind blowing through the tip of your tongue!
...
Nagi Senzaemon, who had already tasted his granddaughter's cuisine once, saw the step she was taking now, and her eyes were full of concern.
He nodded in relief when Erina scooped out all the blood-colored matter from the upper layer, leaving only a translucent liquid with a faint crimson color.
"Good!"
The appreciative speech is not only because it is a crucial step in her granddaughter's cooking, but also because Erina Nagikiri has really begun to have the appearance of a grandmaster chef who does not move and concentrates on cooking.
The rest depends on how much strength Zhao Youqian will use to fight against his granddaughter.
As for victory, even if he knew that his granddaughter had now learned Zhao Youqian's taste several combos, he had never thought of it that way.
He knows better than anyone what a Lin Kitchen is!
...
'Hmph, I'm not going to lose to that guy...'
A hint of confidence flashed in her heart, Erina stretched her hands and feet, and glanced up at Zhao Youqian's side.
Choosing to challenge Zhao Youqian is not for her to prove anything, she is really confident that he will suffer a big loss!
Erina Nagikiri has been determined to catch up since she was thrown farther and farther away by Zhao Youqian in cooking.
will not end up with the qualifications to challenge Zhao Youqian.
Then she began to learn Zhao Youqian's cooking methods to improve her cooking skills, and when she found that her cooking skills had improved by leaps and bounds, she finally had the self-confidence to challenge Zhao Youqian again.
And this time she will not easily admit defeat.
...
'It's kind of interesting...'
Zhao Youqian's eyesight has now been baptized by Western America for a period of time, and he has also met top chefs who are good at Italian cuisine, and he also has his own understanding of this kind of cooking system.
The biggest difference between Italian blood sausage and British and German style made Zhao Youqian see at a glance that the root of Erina's manufacturing technique lies in the ratio of spices and the technique of stirring.
The practice of blood sausage with only blood is a characteristic of the Italian style!
English and German, one with a variety of offal, forms one of the dark dishes of the British style.
The German style will add diced fatty pork, although it will also be seasoned with spices, but there is still a clear difference between the three methods.
Now there has been a noticeable change in the way Erina does it, especially the way of precipitating hemoglobin and floating it, and he can already see traces of molecular cooking.
As long as he thought about it a little more, Zhao Youqian had already guessed the effect that Erina wanted to make.
Stacking three different types of soup jelly with the same taste will burst at different times in the mouth, and then fuse together.
This is called a gradual upgrade in taste!
It is also the technique that Zhao Youqian uses most often, after perceiving the similar temperament of Erina Nagikiri to himself, Zhao Youqian has been faintly aware of it.
I didn't expect this proud princess to really learn from herself.
This made Zhao Youqian ignite a little fighting spirit.
Let's see what the quality of the 'teacher' is! ’
Revealing a hint of essence, Zhao Youqian's eyes turned back to the four fillings that had been almost completed, and began to think about whether there was anything that could be improved, and those pots of soup stock had already begun to emit an attractive aroma.
Each pot is filled with a variety of ingredients and vegetables, in order to ensure the level of soup jelly, a large number of vegetables are added to the stewed soup pot to reduce the greasy taste of the soup jelly, and also make the four pots of soup in front of Zhao Youqian have a consistent aroma at the same time.
A special flavor from fruits and vegetables...
