Chapter 157: The Revival of Spring
Under the long-term and even roasting, the rich and mellow inside the pith beef was finally released, but Aisen did not stop his movements, and then sprinkled the spices prepared earlier on the surface of the pith beef.
And at the moment when the spices were sprinkled on the beef, the tempting mellow aroma in the air suddenly became more and more intense, like an explosion of rich fragrance bombarding the taste buds of everyone present, making everyone saliva lightly.
"How could this be a rich aroma?!Could it be that this kid really succeeded in cooking the marrow beef on the spot? No?" At this time, the Qing Snake, who was originally full of disdain and looked down on Aisen, unconsciously widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Wow! It's so fragrant! Although Aisen's usual cooking tastes very good, but this time he always feels that the style of cooking has changed, which is particularly peculiar," he sighed as he sniffed the rich aroma of the beef in the air.
At this time, Gu Yu, who had already finished the main dish, couldn't help but be deeply attracted by this rich mellowness, and then chuckled and said, "Xiaoyou is really talented, I didn't expect that the first magic power into the kitchen could complete such a difficult marrow beef to such an extent,"
"The master has won the award, and the juniors have tried their best to barely complete this dish, but the master is now as breezy as a nobody, talking and laughing freely," Aisen replied, wiping the pea-sized beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Haha, you don't have to be so modest, I'm a star mage, and I naturally can't consume too much magic power to deal with a dish, but you have reached such a level as a junior mage, this kind of strength, even at that time, I may not be able to do it" Gu Yu smiled kindly.
"Okay, now that we've both finished making our main course, let's let the guests at this dinner tonight evaluate whether my dish is delicious or yours is better."
"Master Gu Yu is really tormenting the juniors, how can my cooking skills be compared to Master Gu Yu's..."Hearing Gu Yu's words, Aisen smiled modestly and responded, but his eyes were filled with fireworks from time to time that he would not admit defeat.
Then, the two of them divided the processed dishes into dozens of portions and lined them up one by one in front of everyone, and began the final and most exciting stage of the banquet tonight.
"Since Xiaoyou is preparing meat, then you should start with my lighter vegetarian food, by the way, Aisen, I also prepared one for you, speaking of which, you are also a guest at this dinner", then Gu Yu took out the dishes that had been prepared for Aisen a long time ago, handed it to Aisen, and said with a smile.
"Thank you Master Gu Yu for not forgetting to prepare a dish for me!" Ai Sen excitedly took the jade plate handed by Gu Yu and said gratefully, as early as when he was processing the pith beef, he was deeply attracted by the intoxicating aroma of Gu Yu's cooking, and couldn't help but want to taste the taste.
As a chef, he is not only a chef, but also a taster, and so is Aisen, and what motivates him to become a chef is ultimately to taste more delicious dishes in the world.
Sniffing the tempting fragrance emanating from the plate in front of the table, everyone couldn't wait to taste the dishes made by Gu Yu, looking at the green bamboo shoots that sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and couldn't help but chew them in their mouths and enjoy the wonderfulness of it.
"Uh-huh~~ What kind of taste is this! I can't use normal words to describe the deliciousness of this plate of spring bamboo shoots! It's like walking in the drizzle bamboo forest, the morning dew that moistens people's hearts, and unconsciously, the whole heart seems to be infiltrated..."Slowly chewing the emerald green bamboo shoots, Luan Caiyi couldn't help but close her eyes and hummed softly in enjoyment.
"It's true, the whole dish is full of spring vitality, but there must be a deeper delicacy hidden in this dish..."Mu Chen munched on the crispy, sweet bamboo shoots, thoughtfully.
"Haha, as my old diner for more than ten years, I didn't expect to taste the mystery so quickly, that's right, this is not the complete form of this dish" Seeing that Mu Chen so easily perceived the hidden subtleties in his dishes, Gu Yu was not too surprised, and then chuckled.
"If I can't even taste this, then I'll have eaten your food for so many years" Mu Chen's eyes were frivolous, and he smiled slightly.
"What?!This dish is not in its full form?!, but the freshness of the bamboo shoots has been perfectly lured out," Luan Caiyi was surprised when she heard Gu Yu's words, she couldn't believe that such a delicious dish was not in its final form.
"This little sister-in-law is right, the clarity of the bamboo shoots has indeed been developed to the limit by my wood attribute magic, but this is not the limit of this dish..."
"After eating a bamboo shoot, try to take a sip of the water in the small cup next to you, and you will find that its taste is far more delicious than you imagined" Gu Yu chuckled, pointed to the small cup placed next to the jade plate, and whispered.
At this time, under Gu Yu's instructions, everyone also noticed the cup of crystal clear water placed on the plate, and then, as Gu Yu said, they chewed a green bamboo shoot slowly, and then took a sip of the water in the small cup.
And at the moment when the water in the cup was entered, the residual fragrance of bamboo shoots in everyone's mouths spread like a bomb again, and this time the taste was far fresher and intoxicating than before.
"This! Why is it that just a glass of water can make this bamboo shoot that has already entered the mouth burst out with such a fresh and moist taste again! Like the emerald green spring bamboo shoots that break through the ice, it is full of strong vitality and makes people fascinated!" Feeling the strong taste that erupted in his mouth, Mu Chen shouted a little out of shape.
"This is the true taste of this dish! The water in that small cup is not ordinary water, but ice spring water refined by my ice element, and it is also the key to open the treasure house of this dish!"
"It is this specially refined ice spring water that makes the hidden vitality inside the bamboo shoots release again as if it was born after breaking the ice, and this is also the charm of magic in the kitchen!" As everyone reveled in the deliciousness of this dish, Gu Yu softly explained the source of the deliciousness of this dish.
"I see, is the link between ice and wood? The ice fountain is just like the beautiful and clear frost of winter, and the bamboo shoots are the spring shoots nestled by the frost and suddenly burst out of the spring vitality, growing out of the embrace of winter, is this the charm of the magic kitchen..."Feeling the intoxicating taste in his mouth, Aisen couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Aisen unconsciously fell into the artistic conception of this dish, and in a blink of an eye, the surrounding area was no longer the wide central hall, but a fresh and refined verdant bamboo forest.
The branches and leaves of the bamboo forest were faintly scattered with white snow, and the earth was still frosty and beautiful, but when the sun was rising, a green tip crept out from under the frost-covered soil.
Then, with the ethereal sound of rain, the earth seemed to recover, and green bamboo shoots of different sizes and sizes competed to rise from the land, showing their full vitality.
Then the eyes swept away, at this time the ice and snow have melted, some are only green, it is the green of spring, and the new bamboo shoots are spread all over the land, and this is the handover of winter and spring, the continuation of life...
When the aftertaste in his mouth was completely dissipated, Aisen woke up from the artistic conception of this dish, but the corners of his mouth did not know when there was a touch of quiet smile.
"Is this what we as eaters want this dish to know?" Eisen sighed, caressing the curvature of the corners of his mouth.
After that, everyone also finished eating the remaining bamboo shoots on the plate one after another, and sat down on the chair with a satisfied face, feeling each other.
"Being able to taste such delicious dishes, this vacation is simply too profitable, even if Teacher Xia Yue prepares us for how difficult the training is later, it is worth it!"
"That's right, being able to taste the dishes of the royal magic chef is not in vain in this life..."
Seeing that everyone was enjoying themselves, Gu Yu couldn't help but show a smile of relief, and then moved his gaze to Aisen's direction, and whispered, "Thank you for liking my food, but this dinner is not really over yet..."
Under Gu Yu's gaze, Aisen naturally knew that he wanted to give himself a chance to perform, so he said, "Thank you Master Gu Yu for giving the juniors a chance to show, the juniors know that their cooking skills are far inferior to the masters, but I still hope that everyone can taste my food."
"But before that, I don't know if Gu Yu's predecessor can tell us the name of this dish so that it can be our memory", Aisen's eyes were full of anticipation, and he said respectfully.
"Naturally, if you like it, you can call it "Spring Revival", this is a dish that I was inspired to create by a bamboo forest by chance in the spring, and it can be regarded as one of my famous works" At Aisen's request, Gu Yu showed a friendly smile on his face and responded to Aisen's expectations.
"Thank you Master Gu Yu for introducing us to the name of this dish, then, let's invite Master Gu Yu to taste and taste the dishes made by the juniors" After learning the name of this dish, Aisen couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face, and then respectfully handed Master Gu Yu a piece of pith beef.
"I didn't expect Master Gu Yu to really come up with one of his famous works, "Spring Revival"! That is something that even many high-ranking nobles and even royal families have never enjoyed!"
"Could it be that Master Gu Yu came up with this famous dish because of that kid?"
At this time, when Qing Snake, Xuan Feng and the others on the side saw that Gu Yu had really made this dish, they all made unbelievable sounds, and then they became jealous and scolded Aisen.
But what they didn't expect was that Aisen, who disgusted them, actually walked straight to them with a few portions of marrow beef.
