Chapter 45: Tempura
The fat man's eyes were full of anticipation, and he really wanted to confirm whether the questions he had just asked were true.
How could Gu Chen answer him!
So, Gu Chen could only laugh dryly, pretending not to understand, and said, "I'm a guest, I'm here to buy things, and those things are also my personal privacy, so I can't say it." “
The fat man was a little disappointed when he heard Gu Chen say this.
"Oh well. What ingredients do you want? The fat man changed the subject and said.
"Show me a little! I want seasonal ingredients. Gu Chen said bluntly.
Gu Chen gave the choice directly to the fat man, because his family often opened a seafood restaurant.
"The shrimp and squid are good this season, and the yellow croaker is also good, can I pack it for you?" The fat man asked.
Yellow croaker ?!!
Hearing this, Gu Chen was surprised.
This brings back memories of him when he was a child, too, who had eaten fried yellow croaker.
Sprinkled with salt and pepper, it tastes great, it's like a childhood memory, but after that, I rarely ate it.
I finally came across this ingredient, so I had to buy it.
"Okay, please give me some trouble." Gu Chen nodded.
"Okay, wait a minute." The fat man nodded.
After that, the fat man went to work.
"You buy so much seafood? Won't it be wasted? Ryusuke Akutagawa asked with some confusion.
"No, when the time comes, divide these dishes and do free tastings, which can also increase the popularity of the store." Gu Chen smiled, and then said.
"Well, that's a good idea." Ryusuke Akutagawa nodded, and then said.
While they were discussing, the fat man had already packed the seafood in a bag and handed it to them.
Gu Chen paid the money, and Chen also got the things.
"Thanks!" Ryusuke Akutagawa said to the fat man.
"It's a trifle." The fat man waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Then let's go first" Gu Chen waved his hand to the fat man, and then left with Akutagawa Ryusuke.
Ryusuke Akutagawa was carrying seafood in his hands, and he always felt that something was missing.
"Seafood isn't enough!" Ryusuke Akutagawa said with some concern.
"Let's go to the vegetable section! Seasonal vegetables are also available. ”
"We can also make a tempura set, which is also a good choice." Ryusuke Akutagawa thought for a while and said.
"Well, that's okay." Gu Chen nodded and agreed to Akutagawa Ryusuke's proposal.
So, the two left the seafood stall and went straight to the vegetable section of the mall.
There are also a lot of local vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage and oily lettuce, which are also seasonal vegetables.
The two of them bought some, and they also had big bags and small bags in their hands.
The two of them returned to the typhoon shelter, their hands numb.
They put the ingredients they had just bought in the kitchen and began sorting them again.
Some ingredients should be blanched, some should be put in the refrigerator, and some ingredients should be marinated in advance.
All three of them have been in the chef industry for many years, and they are also familiar with doing these things, and they do not feel tired.
They were busy with their own things, and then an afternoon passed quickly.
"The ingredients are finally done." Gu Chen stretched his waist and said.
Ryusuke Akutagawa nodded, "Yes! Some ingredients are really hard to handle! “
Dazai Sage shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's how cooking people are, there will always be some difficult ingredients to handle. “
Gu Chen didn't complain, and said calmly: "These ingredients are pretty good, if you want me to say that the puffer fish is the most difficult to deal with, if that thing is not handled well, it will be poisoned directly."
Fugu is also sold in Japan, and Dazai Sei and Akutagawa Ryusuke also have some knowledge of fugu.
The handling of the contract is indeed troublesome, and a careless word will pierce the poison sac.
When the time comes! Whoever eats this dish can choose heaven at random.
"Did you deal with it?" Ryusuke Akutagawa asked curiously.
"I practiced when I was a child, and it is said that I was successful in dealing with it." Gu Chen replied.
"Hahaha~ Boss Gu is really amazing!" Ryusuke Akutagawa patted his ass and said.
"That's a must." Gu Chen said proudly.
"I wonder what we're going to eat tonight?" Dazai-sao said with some distress.
"What do you want to eat?" Gu Chen asked rhetorically.
"I'll do whatever I want." Dazai said.
"I'll do it too." Ryusuke Akutagawa also echoed.
These two people don't have anything special to eat, the two girls outside must have an idea!
Gu Chen beckoned Sonoko Suzuki and Yuhime Yoshino into the kitchen.
The two of them glanced at Gu Chen, both of them were a little shy, and they were guessing what Gu Chen wanted to say.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Today's ingredients are quite rich, I want to eat something!" “
As soon as they heard that there was food, the shyness just now no longer existed, and the eyes of the two people lit up, as if there was only food in their eyes.
Yoshino Yuhime and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other, and then said in unison, "We want to eat tempura."
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, tempura?
This dish is familiar, but I haven't tried it myself.
Seeing the expectant eyes of Yuki Yoshino and Sonoko Suzuki, he still agreed, "Yes." “
"Wow! Boss Gu is so good. Yoshino Yuhime said excitedly.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten tempura." Sonoko Suzuki also said excitedly.
Gu Chen looked at Suzuki Sonoko and Yoshino Yuhime's excited appearance, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
"Then we'll be waiting for your food in the lobby." Yoshino Yuhime waved his hand and pulled Suzuki Sonoko out by the way.
Yuhime Yoshino is a chef herself, and she knows some of the rules of the kitchen.
The main thing is that the kitchen in the typhoon shelter is too small to accommodate just three people.
But with the addition of himself and the garden, there are already five people, and there is no place to show their hands and feet.
After the two go out, the three of them are also full of energy, and when someone orders, then the chef will serve the meal.
When he was ready to start making it, Gu Chen realized that he didn't know how to make tempura at all.
His perception of tempura is only that it is a Japanese dish that is popular all over the world.
He still doesn't know how to do it.
Dazai Sei and Akutagawa Ryusuke have already started beating eggs.
Gu Chen asked coldly, "How to make tempura?"
Dazai Sheng looked at Gu Chen suspiciously, "You don't know how to make tempura?" ”
Gu Chen scratched his head in embarrassment and complained; "It's Japanese food! I grew up in China, and I ate all the eight major cuisines, so I never had a chance to eat tempura! “
Ryusuke Akutagawa and Sage Dazai were speechless for an instant, are they showing off?
You know, in neon, Chinese cuisine is very popular.
The two of them also know that Chinese cuisine is very exquisite, and the most important thing is its taste.
