Chapter 31: Check-in Test (Second Update, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection!) )
Kohei Chuangzhen and Gui Yanye followed Wenxu's mother-in-law into the kitchen.
"Hey? It's a good kitchen. Kohei Soma sighed.
And Guiyan leaves went directly to choose the ingredients they needed.
"Huh? Did you choose this dish? Seeing the ingredients Gui Yanye chose, Yang Cao immediately determined the dishes Gui Yanye wanted to make.
On the side of Kohei Chuangzhen, Yang Cao couldn't guess it, because Kohei Chuangzhen and Caiba Ichiro had the same specialty, and before the food was served, he didn't know what kind of food he would make.
Not only him, but everyone in Polestar Liao gathered at the kitchen door to watch the two cook.
"It's on, it's on! The dish of the legendary transfer student! Yoshino Yuhime said excitedly.
"Yuhime, be quiet, you'll disturb them like this." Ryoko Sakaki soothes the excitement of Yoshino Yuhime, and she deserves to be the "intellectual big sister" of Polar Star Liao.
"However, looking at the skills of the two, they are really not ordinary people." Zenji Marui looked at the skillful handling of the ingredients by the two of them, and pushed his glasses with a serious expression.
"Anyway, Tian Suo, in the morning class, Gui is in a group with you, right?" Ibu asked.
"Yes, yes, what's wrong? Ibu-san. Tanzo asked.
"Is Gui really as powerful as rumored?" Ibu asked.
"It's true, Yan Ye is really powerful, my first class today is Mr. Chapelle's class, the theme is "Burgundy red wine beef stew".
It seems that Yan Ye really came into contact with this dish for the first time.
But after she wrote down the recipe, the first thing she did was like a request from Ms. Chappelle to change the recipe.
Then, after tasting it, Mr. Chapelle smiled. Tian said.
"Huh? That Mr. Chapelle? ”
"Laughed?"
Everyone was shocked, because they had the ability to get an A evaluation in Chapelle's hands, but they didn't have the ability to make Mr. Chapelle laugh.
Moreover, Yan Ye is usually very gentle, but when she picks up the kitchen knife, she will be instantly full of confidence and full of momentum of "as if everything is under her control".
It's not so much the cooking that I did with Yan Ye, but rather that I'm just helping her. Tian said with some shame.
"Well~ Xiaohui is also very powerful!" Yoshino Yuhime saw that Megumi Tasoko was a little lost, and immediately stepped forward to comfort him.
"Teacher Yang, is it true that Gui has not been exposed to that dish as Xiaohui said?" Ryoko Sakaki asked Yang Cao.
"Yes, because Yan Ye has only been studying with me for a month, most of what I teach her is basic knowledge, as well as the Chinese cuisine that I am good at." Yang Cao said.
"A month!" Everyone was shocked.
"Teacher Yang! Do you mean that Gui has only been in cooking for a month? Isshiki asked in horror.
"She used to study by herself, and no one taught her, so it can be said that it was a mess.
At that time, she was secretly studying by herself in the kitchen, and I happened to meet her, and decided to take her as an apprentice and teach her formally, which was a month. Yang Cao said.
"This! How genius does it have to be to do that? Issehui and the others were shocked.
"Actually, her talent is not the main reason why I accepted her as a disciple." Yang Cao said, and did not deny Yishihui's statement that Gui Yanye's talent was terrifying.
After all, the affairs of the system, he does not intend to let anyone know except himself.
"What's that?" Isshiki asked, and the others were curious.
"Let's teach you a lesson for free, what really touched me about Yan Ye was the kindness that she really wanted to pass on to others happiness with her cooking." Yang Cao said lightly.
"Passing ...... Happiness ......" Yishihui muttered, thinking back to Yang Cao's class in the morning.
And everyone else was also thoughtful, especially Tian Sumi, because among all the people present, her inner persistence was the most suitable for this true meaning.
"Can you think of it? A kitchen assistant who has no one to teach, or a girl who takes advantage of the holidays to work.
Persist every morning and secretly learn to cook by yourself in the kitchen, without asking anyone for help.
When I asked her why she persevered, she told me how happy she felt every time she saw her mother's smile when she ate her own food.
And she wants her mother, sister, and even more people to feel this happiness. Yang Cao said word by word, very plain, but it infected the hearts of everyone present.
"And she is not only talented, but also hard-working, you know, in a month, to reach the current height, just my teaching can't do it." Yang Cao added.
"Yanye, it's really amazing, compared to her, I'll ......" Tian Suohui felt a little uncomfortable and a little lost, because she was the same as Gui Yanye, she was a weak girl, but she didn't have the same courage as her.
"So, I hope that no matter what happens on your way to becoming a chef, don't forget that cooking is the existence of happiness and hope." Yang Cao looked at the first-graders of Polestar Liao and smiled gently.
"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Yang! All the students thanked her, especially Tian Sumi, who got courage from Yang Cao's words, smile, and Gui Yanye's cooking.
In this way, in the whispered chatter of everyone, the two finished their own cooking.
"Is it done? Then let me taste it. Mother-in-law Wenxu said, at this time, she no longer has a strong gaze on her face, she heard what Yang Cao said just now, so she is full of affection for the girl in front of her who seems to be weak, but has a strong heart.
"Please also ask Granny Wenxu to taste it, cherry blossom meat."
"Sakura meat?"
Granny Wenxu looked at the food in front of her, she didn't find anything related to cherry blossoms, just ordinary slow-cooked pork belly.
"Little girl, although I have a little affection for you, mother-in-law, you can't fool me like this, right?" Mother-in-law Wen Xu said with some dissatisfaction.
"Why did Granny Wenxu say that?" Gui Yanye wondered.
"It's called "cherry blossom pork," but I didn't find anything related to cherry blossoms. Mother-in-law Wenxu said.
"I see, then please understand, there is one last step in Wenxu's mother-in-law's dish." Gui Yanye explained.
"The last step?"
Under the puzzled gaze of everyone, Gui Yanye picked up the small bowl placed next to him and poured a little transparent liquid on the pork belly.
"Oh~!"
"It's!"
"How is that possible!"
"Huh? Am I dazzled? How do you see cherry blossom petals flying? ”
……
At the moment of witnessing the miracle, I saw that after the transparent liquid came into contact with the meat, the brown flesh suddenly turned cherry red, and exuded a light floral fragrance.
"Please taste, sweet and sour cherry blossom meat."
"What did you do? Why does meat change color? Granny Wen Xu asked excitedly.
"The answer to everything is in the cooking." Gui Yanye said confidently.
Granny Wenxu picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat with a trembling hand, and put it in her mouth.
"Gollum~"
"It's!" Granny Wenxu's eyes widened suddenly, as if she had come to a cherry blossom forest in full spring, with petals flying around her, gentle and refreshing.
"Sweet and sour, fresh and juicy, mellow and thick, as soon as you bite your teeth, they will melt naturally!
And so on, this sourness, and that unique flavor...... I get it! As Gui Yanye said, Granny Wenxu discovered the secret of this dish in the cooking.
"I see! It's a cherry and white vinegar! Mother-in-law Wenxu said.
"Champs and white vinegar?" The others tilted their heads in confusion.
"Cinnamon, a spice with a strong flavor, is one of the most suitable spices for processing pork, and it is found in the common five-spice powder on the market." Isusei explained.
"Yes, the fragrance is rich in natural pigments, which react and change color when it encounters vinegar." Gui Yanye explained.
"That'...... This delicate fragrance is ......"
"It's cherry blossoms, I grind the leftover cherry blossoms from the afternoon class into powder and simmer them with the pork belly over low heat to taste." Gui Yanye explained.
"I see, "sweet and sour cherry blossom meat", worthy of the name, you passed! Mother-in-law Wenxu said.
"Thank you, Granny Wenxu."
"You'll stay in room 104 from now on."
"Okay."
"It's really powerful, Gui, but I won't lose, it's my turn next, right?" Kohei Soma walked over with a plate and said.
"Well, but boy, the ugly words are ahead, I have eaten this "sweet and sour cherry blossom pork", and the rich flavor is still in my mouth, if your food can't dispel this aftertaste, it can't get my approval. Mother-in-law Wenxu said.
"Oh, I'm confident, you can see it, old woman."
In front of everyone, a plate of golden fried rice was presented.
"Taste it, Kokyu. Golden fried rice. ”
"Hehe, I really didn't expect to teach him this dish." Yang Cao looked at the "golden fried rice" on the table, smiled wryly and shook his head.
"Huh~ Interesting! Each grain of rice is evenly wrapped in egg liquid, and the fragrance is strong, but boy, have you forgotten that opinions are important? Granny Wenxu asked.
"What's the matter?"
"Don't you understand the truth that egg fried rice without minced green onions has half of your soul? Without the fragrance and slight spicy taste of minced green onions, ordinary people will feel tired and difficult to swallow if they can't eat two bites. Mother-in-law Wenxu said.
"Of course I know that, so I put minced green onions." Kohei Sozane said.
"What? How can you ...... here?"
"To borrow Katsura's words, the answer lies in this dish, sprinkle, taste it." Kohei Sojin confidently pushed the plate in front of Granny Wenxu.
"Gollum~"
Granny Wenxu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, picked up a spoonful of golden rice grains, and put it in her mouth.
"Hmmm! This is! The thick aroma of eggs, the soft rice grains, and ...... Green onions! How can it be? Where did it come from......" Granny Wenxu looked down at the golden fried rice on the plate.
"Boy, how the hell did you do that? Obviously there is no minced green onion, where does the green onion come from? Granny Wenxu asked.
Answer...... Yes, there is. As soon as the words fell, Kohei Soma cut off a golden rice grain from it.
"It's!" Everyone was shocked to find that the fried rice was divided into three layers, one was egg liquid, one was rice, and in between, there were emerald green shallots.
"How did you do that?" Granny Wenxu asked.
"Well, it's very simple, it's just to crush the cold rice as much as possible, pour it into the space in the middle of the green onion, and then chop it finely ......," Kohei explains.
"Hahaha! Brat! Not bad! You also went to pass! Granny Wenxu, who got the answer, happily announced.
"Thank you!" Kohei Sojin ripped off the head rope and said.
"Sure enough, this kid's creativity ......" Yang Cao looked at Kohei Chuangzhen with interest.
"So, Mr. Yang, isn't it time for you to show your hand?" Issehui said.
"Hehe, you really can't help it, Yanye, be my assistant." Yang Cao rolled up his sleeves and said.
