Chapter 58: Potato Balls
Seeing the potato balls made by Wei Jun on the table, Erina and Wei Jun stared at each other with wide eyes.
"Don't look at me, this is what your grandfather meant, if there is any problem, go to the old man."
Wei Jun spread his hands to Erina, saying that it was none of his business.
Nagi Senzaemon didn't explain, but picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said.
"If you have any questions, let's wait until you've tasted this dish."
As he spoke, Nagi Senzaemon took the lead in using his chopsticks and sandwiched a potato ball into his bowl.
Wei Jun shrugged his shoulders, picked up a potato ball, and ate it silently.
"Click!"
Browned flour and breadcrumbs are bitten open, and a hint of cream and rich potato flavor is in the mouth.
In this potato ball taught by Nagi Senzaemon, the flour is flour that has been specially processed.
Even after frying at high temperatures, this flour is very crispy, fragrant, charred and crispy in the mouth.
The five-spice powder in the original ingredient has also been modified into several other spices by Nagi Senzaemon, so the seasoning of this potato ball is set off by other seasonings, and the fragrance is very mellow.
However, potatoes are the main flavor in the potato balls.
The way this potato ball is handled with potatoes is also very strange.
The cooking and frying of the potatoes remained the same, except for the addition of a three-minute soak in ice water.
Wei Jun didn't see anything special about this process, but since Nagi Senzaemon told him, the potatoes fried in this way tasted much better.
That's exactly what happened, the potatoes are crispy with a hint of chewiness, rich potato aroma, and the texture is simply explosive!
"Hmm! is worthy of an old man, this eyesight is really not covered. The taste of this potato ball is indeed much better than the previous one. ”
Although he had eaten potato balls for several days in a row, Wei Jun didn't feel tired of eating them at all.
Delicious!
Wei Jun has been eating such delicious potato balls every day for the past few days, but he doesn't feel tired at all.
"The taste is average, and that's all a guy like you can do."
Wei Jun was very satisfied with his improved craftsmanship, but it was a pity that the Tongue of God sitting opposite him didn't buy it.
"I know you're a bad mouth, and I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
Ignoring Erina, who was looking for fault, Wei Jun turned his head to look at Nagi Senzaemon and asked.
"Old man, if you asked me to bring this thing to the table, does that mean that I can already be a teacher?"
Nagi Senzaemon did not answer Wei Jun, but looked at Erina and spoke.
"Erina, you've tried this dish too, so please give it a review."
"Grandpa, do you still need to comment on such a mess of bad work, this dish is simply defiling my tongue."
Erina snorted coldly at Wei Jun, and directly devalued the potato balls as worthless.
Wei Jun pursed his mouth, "I'm really sorry for defiling your tongue." ”
Erina said with a haughty expression as she clasped her hands.
"Don't be convinced, I'm telling the truth. Not to mention anything else, don't you notice that this dish is too salty! ”
"Salty? Yes, you said it too, sort of. This is all a matter of personal preference.
Some people like salty foods, and some people like sweets.
I'm the former, so I put a little more salt in making this potato ball. What, is there a problem? ”
Although Wei Jun is a sweet party, he is speaking with his conscience, and he will not feel heartache at all.
"You're good at talking nonsense with your eyes open. Don't think I don't know, which bastard stole the sweets I put in the fridge! ”
Erina easily exposed Wei Jun's unreliable lie.
"When I put the seasoning, I follow the strictest proportions. That little bit of excess saltiness is what your tongue will pick out. ”
Wei Jun said that it was not that he was not strong, but that Erina's tongue was too picky.
"How do you explain the problem of heat? The coat of these potato balls has been fried by you, and according to the crispiness of this potato ball, you have fried it for at least forty-seven more seconds. ”
Erina's tongue of the gods is full of power at this moment.
"Forty-seven seconds! It's good that you're talking about forty-seven seconds, not four seconds or seven seconds. ”
Wei Jun felt that this was completely acceptable.
However, Erina's words reminded Wei Jun of the fanfiction he had seen at the starting point.
Erina has an inhuman tongue, the tongue of a god. So it's not surprising that she can taste the flaws of the cuisine that ordinary people can't taste.
What's more, Erina has such a ability, which is completely trained by Nagi Thistle with 'devil training' since childhood.
But what about the chef in the other party's fanfiction, it's all a group of god-like existences, and it's even more god's tongue than Erina's tongue of the gods!
Erina has the help of the Tongue of God to accurately taste the problem of poor control of the heat.
On top of that, even Erina is only accurate to about a minute.
The other party can give you an accuracy of three or five seconds, are you sure this is not finding fault?!
If anyone dared to stand in front of Wei Jun and say to him, 'Hey! Brothers. The dish you made was cooked for three more seconds, and the dishes were all cooked by you! ’
Let's see if Wei Jun will give him a knife!
*
Erina was so angry that her teeth itched when she saw Wei Jun's shameless appearance.
Just when she wanted to continue to point out the flaws in Wei Jun's cooking, she heard Nagi Senzaemon on the side speak.
"There is still a lot to be done on this dish, but overall it is a pass.
Each dish will not only bring enjoyment to the guests, but also leave a score in the hearts of the guests.
Erina, if it were you, how would you rate this dish? ”
Hearing the question given by Nagi Senzaemon, Erina spoke directly without thinking about it.
"Sixty-five points, this dish can get this score is already the sky!"
Wei Jun originally thought that Erina gave herself such a low score, and she deliberately suppressed her with her little emotions.
Unexpectedly, Nagi Senzaemon nodded in agreement after hearing the score given by Erina.
"Very objective rating."
"Huh?! Is my cooking so bad, it's delicious! ”
"Delicious? Where the hell do you get your confidence?
Haven't you been asking your grandfather to help you make potato balls these days?
Haven't you tasted any of those potato balls? ”
Erina really guessed correctly, those potato balls made by Nagi Senzaemon, Wei Jun really hasn't tasted them.
Wei Jun knew very well that there were only a few opportunities for Nagi Senzaemon to make a move.
The number of those potato balls is not much, and if you eat one, you will have one less.
For the sake of his happy life in the future, Wei Junzui has to endure no matter how greedy he is.
However, when Erina said this, Wei Jun also wanted to know where the gap between the potato balls he made and the ones made by Nagi Senzaemon was.
After thinking about it, Wei Jun gritted his teeth and took out a potato ball made by Nagi Senzaemon from the other space.
Looking at the steaming potato balls in Wei Jun's hand, Erina and Nagi Senzaemon were stunned.
"It's just a little magic, and it's not the first time you've seen the old man, so don't make a fuss all the time."
Prevaricating, Wei Jun swallowed his saliva and immediately took a bite of the potato ball in his hand.
As soon as the potato balls were in their mouths, the expression on Wei Jun's face instantly froze.
Teary-eyed!
It's just a potato ball, and Wei Jun actually tasted the taste of the whole Han feast.
Although Wei Jun has never eaten the Manchu and Han full banquets, and his description of this fried potato ball is a little exaggerated, but the taste is really amazing!
As if to confirm the sentence that there is no harm if there is no comparison, at this moment, Wei Jun clearly knew the gap between the two potato balls.
There is no gap at all, it is simply a knockout by Nagi Senzaemon with a punch.
Finally, this potato ball is also very poisonous!
Why do you have beautiful autumn harvest pictures in your mind?
The gentle sunshine, the falling leaves, the laughter of the hard-working farmers as they harvest in the fields.
To put it simply, Wei Jun knelt down directly when he finished eating this mouthful of potato balls!
