Chapter 11: [Douban Cod Steak], [Returning Chicken Soup] (Five Watches!) Ask for recommendations, ask for collections! )

Seeing that Yang Cao was also sitting for the first time, Kurokiba Ryo and Shinto Scarlet were very excited, but they immediately controlled it.

"Brother Yang Cao is here, I must let him see my growth." Xinhu scarlet sand touched himself in his heart to cheer himself up.

"Brother Yang is here, this time I must let him see how good I am! I've been cooking for so long, I must beat him! Kurokiba Ryo was full of fighting spirit in his heart.

"Let's serve." Nagi Senzaemon said.

"Yes." As the "vanguard", Kurokiba Ryo pushed the dining cart and put his dishes in front of everyone one by one.

"Xiao Cao, do you smell it?" Nagi Senzaemon looked at Yang Cao and smiled evilly.

"Of course, but I won't say it." Yang Cao said flatly.

"Oh? It seems like a surprise, so let's uncover it. Nagi Senzaemon said.

Regarding what Yang Cao said smelled of what kind of food, Kurokiba Ryo didn't say it, because he had expressed doubts about it, but ......

Alas, don't mention it.

When the lid is lifted, the aroma is mixed with spicy notes, but it is not choking at all, mixed with a fresh aroma of fruit, which is very soft and mouth-watering.

"Huh~ This is indeed a surprise." Nagi Senzaemon admired.

"This is ...... [Douban Fish], right?" Nagi asked.

"Yes, but not the traditional watercress fish, I changed the traditional freshwater fish to deep-sea cod, and at the same time modified the watercress sauce with a special sauce." As a chef, Ryo Kurokiba naturally has to stand up and explain his doubts to the diners.

"Well, a very interesting combination." The crowd nodded.

As the saying goes, the world's cuisine is out of China.

However, over the years, each region has its own unique style and character.

And the combination of local cuisine is also a requirement for every good chef to clean.

"Xiao Cao, do you want to ......?"

"In order to leave you with a sense of surprise, and, if you don't sleep, you don't eat."

After speaking, Yang Cao didn't wait for the elder Nagi Senzaemon to move his chopsticks first, and took the lead in picking up a piece of fish meat and putting it in his mouth, otherwise, Nagi Senzaemon would not let him go.

After a little chewing, with a "grunt", the tender fish meat flows down the throat and into the stomach.

"Wow~"

The picture changed suddenly, a cold sea breeze came to his face, Yang Cao sat in a lonely boat floating on the sea, and suddenly, a huge deep-sea cod jumped up from the sea and swallowed Yang Cao in one bite.

In the dark belly of the fish, Yang Cao's side was filled with chili peppers, watercress, lemons and oranges, as well as various spices.

Yang Cao smiled slightly, his eyes closed, and as soon as he opened, the picture returned to the restaurant.

"This kid's cooking is still so aggressive." Yang Cao thought to himself.

"Smack!" At this time, Nagi Senzaemon used the stunt of the Nagi family, "the clothes exploded", the kimono on his body exploded into pieces, and the strong body was revealed.

The same "clothes exploded", as well as Nagi Cut Zongwei and Nagi Thistle, and even ......

There are also Nagi Nagi and Leonora Nagi, but their "clothes explode" is different, Nagi Managi has crazy hair flying, while Leonora Nagi has a fluent neon language.

(Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise this book would be in danger!) )

Yang Cao closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, which was why he didn't dare to cook for everyone in the Nagi family.

In addition to Erina Nagikiri and Alice Nagikiri, the delicious dishes of the Nagikiri family have unbearable "quirks".

"Well, that's good." Nagi Senzaemon commented after putting on his clothes again at the speed of light.

"Well, there have always been attempts to make watercress with sea fish, but this watercress cod steak is more about using Western cooking techniques to process the deep-sea cod itself." Nagi said his evaluation.

"The sauce is the most quintessential place, it can be said that it is completely different from the traditional bean sauce, on the contrary, the bean paste has become a support, under the connection of lemon juice and orange juice, it is perfectly combined with the sweet and sour taste of shitan sauce." Naginagi thistle commented.

"Oyster sauce, light soy sauce, a dash of clove leaves, cinnamon, fennel seeds and other spices act as stimuli to bring out the flavor of the deep-sea cod itself, and a little cauliflower garnishes it, and it has a lot of color and flavor." Leonora Nagiche was amazed.

"So-so." Compared to others, Nagi Nagi is much more plain, unless it is a dish made by a chef of Yang Cao's level, she will hardly make any comments, which is her pride as the highest judge of IGO.

And what Kurokiba Liang cared about the most was Yang Cao's evaluation, but he didn't hear it for a long time.

Yang Cao ate up the watercress cod steak in front of him without saying a word, and then slowly spoke.

"There has been a lot of progress, you have always been the top in the selection of seafood ingredients, and the basic skills such as knife work and heat have improved, but there are still some flaws, such as the uneven processing of the opening on this fish steak, and it is a little crooked, and it does not follow the most perfect pattern.

There are also sauces, lemon juice and orange juice that duplicate the flavor of the saddan sauce, and even suppress the original flavor of the saddan sauce somewhat, but the idea of using it to make the bean paste softer is very good.

And ......"

In total, Yang Cao said a total of more than a dozen shortcomings of this [Douban Cod Steak], and Kurokiba Ryo clenched his fists tightly.

"Overall, though, I'm happy with your progress."

Hearing this, Kurokiba's face looked a little better.

At this time, Kurokiba Ryo made a very unusual move, he put on the turban......

"Brother Yang, you bastard! Don't think you're amazing right now! Someday I'll surpass you! Bastard! ”

At this time, Kurokiba Ryo was like a completely changed person, fierce and vicious, full of bad breath.

But Yang Cao is not afraid of this, and even gets used to it.

"Take off the turban."

"Oh......"

Under Yang Cao's flat tone, Kurokiba Ryo obediently took off his headscarf and regained the image of a weak boy.

For Kurokiba Ryo's changes, everyone present is accustomed to it, although it looks like a schizophrenic, but the talent is very high, and it is only a loud roar, and will not do anything out of the ordinary.

Speaking of which, Kurokiba Ryo has always been half of Yang Cao's student, and when he followed the Yang family to Denmark when he was a child, he guided him for a while.

"Can I be your student now?" Ryo Kurokiba asked.

Hearing this, the corners of Yang Cao's mouth curled slightly.

"Wait for news, I'll teach in Yuanyue."

"Oh."

Although I didn't get the answer I wanted, I obediently retreated.

The next to serve the food was Shinto Scarlet, who put a small bowl in front of each person, brought out a large clay pot, and served a bowl of golden soup for each person.

"Please also taste [After-Breath Chicken Soup]." Shinto Scarlet Sand introduced.

"Oh? Interesting. Everyone smelled the strong aroma of medicine and was full of interest in the food in front of them.

"Ziyo~"

Everyone took a sip, and the temperature of the entire restaurant showed signs of rising.

Yang Cao was naked at this time, soaking in a golden hot spring, the rich medicinal fragrance made people feel refreshed, and the blood flow in the whole body became smoother.

At this time, a hen came to Yang Cao's side and gently flapped her wings for him, and the cool breeze brought a burst of refreshment.

Yang Cao drank all the chicken soup in the bowl and put the bowl back on the table.

Xinhu Scarlet looked at Yang Cao with a worried face, afraid of hearing a bad evaluation.

"Elder Huang would be very happy if he knew about your growth." Yang Cao said seriously to the new household.

Hearing this, Shinto Scarlet's face turned rosy, and a happy smile bloomed on his face.

"Yes! I will continue to work hard! ”

"Hmm."

Huang Lao in Yang Cao's mouth is a respected old-timer in the Chinese cuisine industry, and now he is in a state of seclusion, and he is a member of Yang Zhong's generation.

When Shinto Saffina was a child, she followed Nagi Senzaemon and Erina Nagi to the Yang family as a guest, and since she was a child, she showed amazing fascination and talent for medicinal diets, and was taken by Huang Lao and taught her a lot of knowledge about medicinal diets.

"I won't comment on this dish, let's go see Huang Lao when I have time, he misses you." Yang Cao said.

"Mmmm, I'll find time to go back and see Grandpa Huang, thank you, Brother Yang Cao!"

There is really no need to evaluate this bowl of [Huiqi Chicken Soup] Yang Cao, because what Yang Cao means is that Xinhu Scarlet Shazi has fully mastered what Huang Lao taught her, which is the greatest affirmation for Xinhu Scarlet Shazi.

Yang Cao also followed Huang Lao, no, it should be that many reclusive old-timers have learned, and it can be said that he is proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts.

Yang Cao is also the only person in the history of the Chinese cuisine industry who has been rushed to accept apprentices by so many old-timers.

Those old-timers don't accept apprentices at will, although the chefs who have been instructed by them occupy half of the Chinese cuisine world, and even many other chefs in the cooking world have consulted them, but there are only a handful of them who can be recognized as disciples.

And the meaning of Yang Cao's words just now is that Xinhu Scarlet Shazi is already qualified to become Huang Lao's official disciple, which is not only an identity, but also a recognition of Xinhu Scarlet Shazi's hard work and talent.

"Well, it's really great, even in the Chinese cuisine world, medicinal food is a relatively remote discipline. It's not because it's bad, it's that the bar is too high.

Although high-level chefs will apply the nutritional and pharmacological value of the ingredients and herbs themselves. But that's all, it can't be said to have mastered the medicinal diet.

And this bowl of [Huiqi Chicken Soup] I drank the true meaning of medicinal food. Nagi Senzaemon silently redressed and complimented.

"Goji berries, codonopsis, angelica, tangerine peel, a little red dates...... So many flavored herbs are skillfully fused together to form a ring, and grapefruit peel is also added to suppress the medicinal flavor that originally belonged to the medicinal herbs, but the medicinal properties play a perfect role. Nagi thistle commented.

"Scarlet sand, you should be using the old mother who should have been used for more than ten years**? And it's still a running pheasant. Nagi asked.

"Yes, Managi-sama."

"What? Is it actually an old hen that is more than ten years old? Erina Nagikiri, Alice Nagikiri, and Ryo Kurokiba were all shocked.

"The average life expectancy of chickens is generally 4~7 years, and ten years of old hens are even rarer.

But this [Huiqi Chicken Soup] gives full play to the flavor of the old hen itself, and it is completely integrated into the soup. Nagi added.

"Completely integrated into the soup?" The three of Erina, who hadn't tasted this [Huiqi Chicken Soup], wondered, because the three of them didn't see a single piece of chicken or chicken bones at all.

"Because including the chicken has completely melted in this bowl of soup." Dojima explained.

"Impossible! If that's the case, it will take at least two days to make, and the soup can't be so clear! Nagi Alice retorted.

"Sliced ginger."

"Ginger?" Alice Nagi looked at Erina Nagiri.

"You should know that sometimes in order to avoid the waste of old oil, it will be reused after filtration and slag removal.

There are many things that can be used to absorb residues, but in this dish, the only ingredient that can make the soup so clear without destroying the flavor of the dish itself is ginger slices. Erina Nagikiri explained.

"Yes, Erina-sama, I do use ginger slices, and in order not to make the ginger slices taste too strong, I use water to completely dissipate the flavor of the ginger slices before using them." Shinto Scarlet explained.

"It worked, Scarlet Sand." Erina Nagikiri, congratulations.

"Yes, Erina-sama."
