Gu Bai saw Seiichiro, who seemed to be contemplative, and said, "Grandpa, Mr. Seiichiro, is there anything that could be improved about this dish?" ”

Seiichiro heard Gu Bai's question, looked at the old man and said, "Teacher, what do you think?" ”

The old man looked at Gu Bai and said slowly, "Very good, kid, if there are still some improvements, I think some more can be done in terms of the taste of the soft-shelled turtle." The meat quality of the soft-shelled turtle is very good, but the characteristic of the soft-shelled turtle is different from other fish is that the meat of the soft-shelled turtle will be relatively smooth and tender, and it will be felt for the first time when you enter the mouth. ”

Gu Bai nodded thoughtfully, indeed, there are many ways to deal with ingredients, focusing on the main ingredients, being detailed properly, and making appropriate trade-offs, worthy of Yuanyue's teacher, "Good grandfather!" ”

"If you want to make it creamy and tender, you can pour some soup over the whole dish and the chicken fat will work well when it is properly blended," Seiichiro said after the old man's words.

Indeed, the chicken fat is extremely delicious, which complements the freshness of the soft-shelled turtle, and in terms of color, the golden oil is poured on the surface of the soft-shelled turtle to make the dish more glossy, and most importantly, this simple method does not disrupt the cooking steps, and just a little time at the end can be the icing on the cake. Just after the teacher's words fell for a while, Mr. Seiichiro seemed to have an answer, and he answered by the way, Mr. Seiichiro's strength is really unfathomable, Gu Bai thought.

"It seems that traveling around the world has improved you a lot over the years, Seiichiro," the old man nodded and said to Seiichiro.

"How can there be a teacher, drizzling the sauce at the end of the dish is a common technique in French cuisine, but it is not my ingenuity." Seiichiro said humbly.

"By the way, Gu Bai, this Chinese cuisine, although I have never been to Huaxia, I have to say that the method and completion of the cooking are very high, which is incredible to you who have been living in Japan for more than ten years, how to do it, I am very interested" Seiichiro asked the question he had always wanted to ask since watching Gu Bai's cooking and tasting Gu Bai's craftsmanship.

"I didn't teach, the content of the years I taught in Yuanyue was mainly Japanese medicinal cuisine, this kid is very talented in this area, haha" Although the old man is strange, there are countless geniuses he has seen in Yuanyue, there are always so many excellent chefs in this world, take his student Seiichiro as an example, for the dominance of cooking and the unbridled handling of ingredients, he can cope with all kinds of ingredients easily.

"Ah, because my parents are Chinese, I can still have some Chinese, so when I read books and look up materials in the school library, I am very interested in the local food culture of China, and I often study in the library, on the one hand, it is of great help to Chinese, on the other hand, many dishes in China are really attractive." When Gu Bai was asked this question, he sweated in his heart and quickly explained.

"So that's the case, just by studying in the library, you have such an understanding, your future is limitless, haha" Seiichiro nodded, and was more sure of Gu Bai's talent, "By the way, your knife skills are also very good, although the speed of the knife is relatively slow, but the rhythm is very accurate, but it seems that there have been several years of immersion, for Wuling soft-shelled turtle, I should be right, the overall processing method of this dish is also very delicate, and it must be very diligent"

"Yes, well, my grandfather taught me some knife work, and when I worked in a Chinese restaurant, the boss and the master often taught me. Every day, when the restaurant has few customers or when it is resting, it will also try to make some dishes" Gu Bai scratched his head, isn't it, Sister Li's lunch in the past few weeks has been forcibly coerced by Gu Bai. Since Gu Bai tried to cook dishes in the restaurant to train and restore his cooking skills and was discovered by Sister Li, Sister Li used the temptation of providing Gu Bai with many ingredients for free, and successfully relied on Gu Bai for her daily meals and the Chinese dishes she wanted to eat. Gu Bai is not too troublesome about this, after all, food is to bring happiness to others, but it is also very helpless, Sister Li is really good at eating.

Speaking of this, Gu Bai suddenly remembered that since he got sick, the family's expenses seemed to be all the help provided by Mr. Seiichiro, so he looked at Seiichiro and said, "Mr. Seiichiro, my part-time salary is about to be paid, although I don't know if it is enough, I will return it to you as soon as possible." I know it's not a lot to you, but it's a month's worth of hard work, and I really don't know how to repay you, don't mind... If it weren't for you, I might..."

"Hahaha, it's nothing" Seiichiro hurriedly interrupted Gu Bai to prevent Gu Bai from mentioning the ominous matter of illness again, "This is all in exchange for your efforts, but, well, I don't want money, the teacher has only helped me a lot more than the help he has given you over the years, if you really want to repay me, then promise me, you must not disappoint your talent as a chef!" If you can also go to Enzuki or other cooking schools, I'm sure you'll shock a lot of people! ”

When Seiichiro said this, his eyes looked at Gu Bai very seriously, even if this child had experienced such an ordeal, he still wanted to get through it with his own hands, instead of relying on others, and his talent and experience always reminded him of thistle. Even at this age, the level of the dish just now was even better than that of the thistle or himself at that time, and he was a freak! This child must not be buried, since he is the teacher's child, and he has a fate with himself, if he can, he must help him avoid detours, just like helping the thistle back then...

Gu Bai was very moved, Mr. Seiichiro is really good to his juniors, but if he goes to Yuanyue, this is originally the dream of that teenager, and he also very much hopes to go to Yuanyue, where there are exciting geniuses such as Chuangzhen, Isshihui, Si and so on... But I still have a big question, whether to ask Seiichiro for help, Mr. Seiichiro has already helped himself a lot, but... If you miss this opportunity...

Seiichiro seemed to see Gu Bai's hesitation from Gu Bai's lack of reply for a long time, and asked, "How about Gu Bai, is there anything wrong?" ”

Gu Bai finally mustered up the courage, "Mr. Seiichiro, I... There is also a big problem, you know that my cooking is currently reading books by myself, and I also learn with the help of Chinese restaurant owners and masters who work part-time, and I lack the learning of the cooking system, and I am still a little confident in Chinese cuisine, but for Japanese cuisine and other aspects, I... To tell you the truth, it is not too much to describe it as ignorance. ”

The old man coughed embarrassedly twice at this time, "Child, this is also grandpa's negligence, I didn't expect you to have such a talent in cooking." ”

"It's not your grandfather's fault, my body was too weak before." Gu Bai said that this was actually some speculation about why the old man didn't teach the young man how to cook, the body was the reason for the part, and being forced to leave Yuanyue might have a great impact on the old man. Even Mr. Seiichiro, who has been in Yuanyue for a few years, has to leave Yuanyue to travel around the world for so many years before gradually letting go, not to mention the old man who has been teaching in Yuanyue since graduation and dedicates all his time to Yuanyue! The past is unbearable! Especially the teaching of cooking skills, for a teacher, his favorite student was forced to give up his studies, such a genius can't even graduate, it is very unpleasant in the old man's heart, Gu Bai can only say that fate is impermanent.

Seiichiro hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Teacher, you too, your body is important, I will find a way to deal with this child." Gu Bai, the problem you said is indeed a big shortcoming, even if the talent is a good cook, it still needs systematic learning and hard practice to be able to play. It's just that the teacher and I had to leave Yuanyue because of some things back then, but I have to say that Yuanyue's learning is very important to me, and without Yuanyue, I wouldn't be where I am today" Speaking of this, Seiichiro paused, breathed a long sigh of relief, and continued, "So I still hope that you can go to Yuanyue in the future, but Yuanyue's entrance exam is not so simple, so you still have to lay a solid foundation for your cooking skills, this kind of thing, teacher, don't worry, I will find a way, after all, this child's talent, I think it will not disappoint us." ”

The old man nodded, slowly took a sip of tea to hide the bitterness in his heart, and looked at Gu Bai again. This child, after so many years, I really like it, and I raised it as my own child, if this child is not so sensible, maybe it will be difficult for me to persevere from the suffering and decadence at that time. At that time, I was disheartened, and I began to doubt Yuanyue and even my cooking skills, and I didn't have the heart to run a restaurant, so I hastily sold it, found such a quiet small house, and drank all day long, in a trance.

The parents who met this child that day... Hey, this child is too hard, this child is like himself at the time, abandoned by reality, so adopting this child is also providential!

I just didn't expect this kid's talent in cooking to be so amazing. Over the years, I haven't taught him much, but I have occasionally demonstrated how to use a knife, which is just for daily meal processing, and it is not a cooking teaching at all.

Fate! Destiny! This kid still has to embark on the path of cooking. Fortunately, more rights have been handed over to the student Shijie in Yuanyue over the years, and the academy is a lot freer, and this child's talent really shouldn't be buried, if he is still a few years younger, he is still teaching in Yuanyue... Such a good seedling, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the next Seiichiro. It's just that after so many years, there is not much left of the kung fu in his hands, but fortunately, the child Seiichiro finally cheered up, and the old man was a little relieved when he thought of this, his own efforts and expectations were worth it, thinking about it like this, his spirit was much better, and Gu Bai, the child, would definitely not let himself down. So he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then please, Seiichiro." ”
