Chapter 68: The Ancestor of Hundred Flavors
At noon, everyone slaughtered Zuo Fan as promised, who let this pig teammate not release his blood?
In the afternoon, there will be classes as usual, and after a short break after dinner, they will go back to their respective classes, and the main speaker is still Mr. Wang, because today is the first day, and the newcomers must be taken care of, so the content of the first lesson is very simple: the importance of salt in cooking.
"Salt, the most important seasoning in cooking, is one of the none. But salt is also a double-edged sword, a little more unpalatable, a little less light and tasteless, so the control of salt determines the quality of a dish, showing a chef's skill. As the saying goes, a good chef has a lot of salt, and if you want to be a good chef, you must first master the amount and timing of salt!"
Mr. Wang talked eloquently, and finally glanced at Du Ming and said, "Du Ming, you are an old student, tell me what is the role of salt in cooking?"
Du Ming pursed his lips, as if he felt that this question was too simple: "Freshness, seasoning, and preservation." ”
Mr. Wang seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said: "That's right, these are the three major functions of salt in cooking, so Du Ming, tell me again, how salt is fresh?"
"......Forehead" Du Ming was dumbfounded for a moment, except for Qin Yu, both the disciples of the Wang clan and the disciples of the Han Sect in the audience were also dumbfounded, the new students bowed their heads and pondered, and the old students looked at each other.
"Did Mr. Wang say it?" Zuo Fan asked Zhou Yuan with his eyes, and Zhou Yuan immediately shook his head, meaning absolutely nothing.
That's right, Mr. Wang has never talked about the principle of salt extraction in class, and now he suddenly asks, what else can it be for?
Du Ming was crazy in his heart, everyone knows that salt is fresh, but why is it meaningful for salt to be fresh?
"Do you know how salt is fresh?" Mr. Wang asked again.
Du Ming was helpless, although he scolded his mother in his heart, he could only shake his head to indicate that he didn't know.
Mr. Wang glared at him and looked at Qin Yu: "Qin Yu, do you know what? How salt is fresh? It doesn't matter if you can't answer, after all, you are a freshman." ”
At this moment, Supervisor Feng and the old man walked to the door, and saw that Mr. Wang was asking Qin Yu, so they hurriedly dodged and hid by the side of the door.
Qin Yu said: "In addition to the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, our tongue can also taste umami, the reason why the ingredients have umami is because they contain some umami substances, such as succinic acid, amino acids and nucleotides, the umami of these substances themselves is not obvious, after putting salt, it will combine with sodium ions in the salt, so that the umami taste is greatly improved, so it is said that the freshness is inseparable from salt." ”
A few words came out of Qin Yu's mouth, not to mention the students, even Mr. Wang was stunned, what is succinic acid, what is sodium ion?
Outside the door, Feng Jian Yuan and the old man glanced at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, both of which said that they did not understand.
Mr. Wang coughed and said, "The ingredients do contain umami substances, and the umami of these substances can be greatly enhanced by salt, but how do you know what these substances are? What is amber, what is the amino group, and what is the sodium?"
Qin Yu reacted at this time, this is the food continent, he seems to have said too much, and hurriedly explained: "Oh, it's nothing, I just gave the name of the umami substance casually, Mr. Wang, you don't have to care, just the same reason." ”
Mr. Wang sighed and said: "The truth is indeed the same, but you can actually know such a remote knowledge, and you can also name the umami substance by yourself, it's not simple, is it all your master taught you?"
"Well, sort of, Master has a lot of books, and when I was a child, I was forced to read every day. Qin Yu is full of nonsense, anyway, no one knows his past, even if he eats the saint, he can't even find out a scale and a half claw.
"Yes, yes, there is a food house in the book, and there is a beautiful chef in the book, so it's a good thing to read more books. Mr. Wang smiled, and then suddenly said to Du Ming with a straight face, "Look at Qin Yu, and then look at yourself, you will know that you are proud and complacent, and you have the ability to make a six-inch treasure and come out to taste it!"
Being reprimanded in front of everyone, Du Ming's face turned red, he lowered his head and couldn't wait to find a crack to get into, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and the disgust for Qin Yu in his heart suddenly became a hundred times stronger: "Qin Yu, if it weren't for you, how could Brother Zheng leave Ziwu Academy, if it wasn't for you, how could I be reprimanded, it's all because of you, it's all you!"
Mr. Wang knocked on the table and said loudly: "And you, in the future, you will also take Qin Yu as an example, don't wander around all day long, except for practice, you will read books honestly, do you hear?"
"I heard the ......" sparse voice, and some even dragged a long tail note, looking particularly reluctant, as a big food, who wants to hold a book every day?
Qin Yu was speechless, Mr. Wang, are you helping me get angry or helping me pull hatred? Should I thank you or slap you? But it doesn't matter, anyway, I have already been hated, and it is nothing to add some more material.
At this time, Mr. Wang threw out a second question: "Who will tell me why you want to put salt late?"
The audience was quiet, with Du Ming's lesson, no one dared to take the initiative to answer, the reason for the late salt was naturally very simple, but God knows if Mr. Wang would throw out strange questions again to make things difficult?
"Murong Xue, you and Qin Yu are here together, so let's talk about it. Contrary to everyone's expectations, Mr. Wang actually threw the question to Murong Xue, a timid, simple and beautiful little girl.
Except for Qin Yu, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they would live for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, Du Ming gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart: "Little girl, aren't you all the way with Qin Yu? This time you will also make a fool of yourself." ”
"I, why me?" Murong Xue's position was diametrically opposed to Qin Yu's, in the last row of the stove square, when she heard the words, she became nervous, and her whole person became cute.
"Don't you know?" Mr. Wang seemed a little displeased.
Qin Yu turned his head and nodded at Murong Xue, half a month ago, he remembered to give Murong Xue a specific lecture on this knowledge, hoping that Murong Xue had not forgotten it.
Receiving Qin Yu's encouragement, Murong Xue calmed down, swallowed his saliva and said: "Because if the salt is put early, the meat will be old, the vegetables will become wilted, the color and taste will be greatly affected, and there will be ......."
After thinking for a few seconds, Murong Xue hurriedly added: "Also, if the salt is put early, it will lead to the loss of nutrients in the ingredients." ”
Everyone knows that meat and vegetables will get old, but nutrient loss is not ordinary knowledge, Mr. Wang was obviously a little surprised: "Oh? How did you know that nutrients will be lost?"
Murong Xue looked at Qin Yu: "It was Brother Qin Yu who taught me." ”
"Test!" Du Ming and the others had this word in their hearts at the same time, how could it be Qin Yu again, how could this guy be haunted everywhere? Even Murong Xue's answer to a question was related to this guy, should you be so.
