Stock is not meant to be drunk directly, it is a special condiment that enhances freshness and flavor.

In the era when there was no monosodium glutamate, chefs wanted to improve the freshness of the soup stock, even now with monosodium glutamate, the status of the stock is still unshaken - in terms of freshness, the taste of the two is very different; In terms of flavoring, MSG does not have that function.

Therefore, there is such an old saying: the chef's soup is the tone of singing.

If a drama doesn't practice a good drama, don't expect fire in this life, and a chef doesn't have a good broth, and don't expect diners to praise it twice.

It is no exaggeration that a pot of broth can determine the success or failure of a chef or even a restaurant.

But the use of stock is very simple and rude, as long as you should add water, just add the stock, and even when you shouldn't add water, you can also drizzle a little stock, which will immediately take the dish to the next level.

Now, Yoshino Naokawa has boiled the first pot of dashi in his entire career.

"So-so!"

Nanahara Takeshi commanded Naokawa Yoshino to stir-fry a green vegetable quickly, poured half a spoonful of broth in the middle, burst out a ball of hot steam, and then picked a chopstick and tasted it, and gave an evaluation.

It's not that there is anything wrong with Naokawa Yoshino's operation, it's that the raw materials are defective. If you really want to boil the broth, the accessories are directly used with old hens, big elbows, dried scallops, fat duck and other ingredients are the best, so as to achieve "chicken fresh, duck fragrance, elbow thick", can say that it is a high-quality product, but considering the cost problem, now can only be replaced by cheap goods such as crucian carp, chicken rack, duck rack, pig skin, chicken feet, etc., barely effective, can only be so-so soup.

But it's not a big problem, anyway, it's not him who eats, and ordinary diners shouldn't be able to tell the difference.

The evaluation he gave was very average, Naokawa Yoshino's heart trembled, and he thought that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly took the chopsticks and tasted them carefully.

The dishes she made by herself, the taste is the most clear, she stir-fried the vegetables quickly, she sprinkled a little salt, just now I was worried that the taste would be slightly bitter, but now when I eat it in my mouth, it is obviously a vegetable but it is silky and tender and fragrant, and I can't help but lick my lips after eating it and taste it - obviously I only added half a spoonful of soup, is the effect so obvious?

But Nanahara Takeshi said that she was "so-so", she was introverted and docile, and she didn't dare to say "It actually tastes good".

"The taste is good, there is a fresh fragrance, but it does not cover up the taste of the ingredients themselves, how to divide the flavor wheel I can't say, but at least it is rich, it is delicious." Kiyomi Ruri also tasted it, and ate two more bites, and couldn't help but say a fair word, feeling that she had no problem eating this for dinner, and it was no problem to pick up two bowls of rice.

Nanahara Takeshi glanced at her through his sunglasses, feeling that she could say that it was delicious if she didn't do it well with fried pig feed, but he felt that it was enough to have this quality, so he didn't express any more opinions, and said with a smile: "Then let's get ready for dinner, and Senior Sister Naokawa will also take a break." ”

Boiling soup is boiling people, and he didn't plan to let Naokawa Yoshino stand up for varicose veins, five or six hours, how could he let her sit, and the rest of the soup and brine continued at night.

Of course, dinner was just right for practice.

He also instructed Kiyomi Ruri to teach Naokawa Yoshino to cook rice with rice, and by the way, he also wrote her the monkey version of the recipe, eliminating two kinds of rice that were more expensive and not easy to find, and replacing them with cheap products of similar nature, and by the way, he played a little trick to make up for it - add some lard to enhance the flavor when cooking rice.

Well, the soup stock is just laying the foundation, and if you really want to start this business, there are still many skills on the foundation, and Naokawa Yoshino has a lot to learn.

…………

The dinner at Naokawa's house is very simple, all of them are home-cooked dishes, even if there is no shortage of ingredients in the kitchen, there are a lot of big fish and meat, but it is ready to be sold, before the business is done, it is still necessary to live frugally, but Naokawa Yoshino's cooking skills have improved immediately - Naokawa Aoi's eating speed has increased a lot, even if it is still the same dishes as before, but it is obviously more delicious than before.

It seems that the stupid bird can also distinguish the good from the bad, and the delicious will eat a little more.

Naokawa Yoshino regretted and felt distressed, regretted that he didn't learn cooking earlier, and felt sorry that his sister had been wronged before, and desperately tried to pick up vegetables for her - Naokawa Aoi chopsticks are not very good, and she is a little stupid, and if she wants to put the dishes in her bowl, she will eat them with rice.

"Sister Naokawa, you can eat it too, Xiaokui come, try the tomato scrambled eggs made by my sister." Kiyomi Ruri was already opening the bow left and right, while quickly picking up the rice by herself, she took care of the "blind Awu", and also gave Naokawa Aoi a chopstick.

Naokawa Aoi looked at the red tomato, took a small bite with rice, was dazed for a moment, stunned, not stupid, turned the bowl around, and went to pick up the rice, and the speed also slowed down.

Naokawa Yoshino was a little embarrassed and felt a little rude, so he quickly explained to Kiyomi Ruri: "Xiaoaoi is a bit of a picky eater, she has never liked tomato food, she used to cook pasta, as long as she put tomato sauce, she refused to eat it, Kiyomi Senabu don't mind." ”

"Picky eater? It's a pity, it's so delicious. Kiyomi Ruri can understand that she doesn't like the taste of bonito, and as long as she dares to use bonito as a soup base, she won't eat it at all.

Nanahara Takeshi glanced at Aoi Naokawa through his sunglasses and said with a smile: "It's not necessarily a picky eater, divide some tomato scrambled eggs." ”

Kiyomi Ruri said strangely: "What do you want to do?" ”

As she was asking, Naokawa Yoshino had already gone to get a small plate and carefully pulled out some tomato scrambled eggs with chopsticks, and Nanahara Takeshi was a weirdo with spices, so he took out a small bottle from his pocket and twisted it and sprinkled it on the tomato scrambled eggs, and said with a smile: "Remix the flavor for her." ”

"Re-seasoning?"

Kiyomi Ruri couldn't quite understand, Naokawa Yoshino didn't have as many words as her, so she immediately clipped her sister with chopsticks and persuaded: "Xiaokui, try again, eating more tomatoes is good for your body." ”

Naokawa Aoi was dazed for a moment, looked up at Naokawa Yoshino, and then looked at Nanahara Takeshi, but also tasted it honestly, and was stunned for a while, lowered his head and began to grill the rice, and the speed was raised again, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with the new taste, and he ate it very sweetly.

"What's more? I'll taste it! Kiyomi Ruri's curiosity rose, and he immediately put a chopstick into his mouth, but immediately his little face wrinkled, "It's so sweet, it's so sweet, it's greasy, you added sugar?" Why do you want to add sugar, I obviously did it according to what you taught, and the sweetness was just right just now! ”

Qiyuan Wu put the small bottle back in his pocket and said with a smile: "So you are a second-rate cook in your life, and your eyes are the same as if they don't, you have to watch people put dishes on the plate." Xiaokui is only six or seven years old, she is still a child, her taste buds are different from ours, we think the sweetness is just right, she will feel sour, we feel sweet and greasy, she thinks the sweetness is just right. ”

Kiyomi Ruri remembered, it seemed that Takeshi Nanahara had mentioned casually before, children's taste buds are very different from adults, sometimes it seems to be squeamish, but in fact, I really feel that I can't swallow it, and as a result, I am considered a picky eater by adults - suddenly change the child's taste buds to the adult's tongue, and adults are also squeamish.

Naokawa Yoshino was also a little embarrassed, feeling that his sister was a little unqualified, and he blamed his sister, and Nanahara Takeshi turned his head to her and smiled: "Naokawa Senior Sister can also pay attention to her business in the future, try to see people put on the dishes, and make the last adjustment before selling." For example, a person in overalls can sprinkle a little more salt when delivering soup; Office workers who sit still for a day can recommend some lighter cooking menus, or you can prepare some sweet children's menus, which will help attract repeat customers. ”

Of course, this is a matter for the future, if she has been doing this business, slowly making fast food bigger and stronger, and opening a store, then you can pay attention to these details, and try her best at the moment.

Yoshino Naokawa glanced at his sister, who was eating very sweetly, nodded seriously, and took his words to heart. At present, there are no conditions for a second-hand fast food truck, and if there are conditions in the future, she will definitely try it, try to do a better business, and strive to give Nanahara Takeshi some more money.

She thought in her heart and began to eat, and she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, she always felt that the ordinary simple meal was more delicious than before, the more she ate, the more fragrant it became, the rice was more soft and hard, the rice was fragrant, how delicious it was, and she enjoyed the fun of food a little, and at the same time deeply admired Nanahara Takeshi - if he wasn't blind and a little inconvenient to move, he would definitely be able to open a very powerful restaurant, right?

But he's pretty good now, even if he's blind, he often behaves like an ordinary person, groping for writing, groping for chess, and laughing happily, which is already remarkable.

He's probably a genius too, so it's no wonder that such a beautiful and delicate girl as Kiyomi Sena likes him.

…………

After eating a simple meal made by himself, Naokawa Yoshino's confidence in the battle was further enhanced, and after he and Kiyomi Ruri grabbed the dishes and didn't grab them, they immediately started to make the second pot of soup - this time the main ingredient was changed to beef bones, and Nanahara Takeshi was going to use this pot to make the first brine, which was specially used to marinate ingredients with a relatively large fishy smell.

He still explained to Naokawa Yoshino in detail, carefully explained the process, key points and precautions, and then let her operate it by herself, and went to the kitchen door to sit down again, distracted and dual-purpose, while paying attention to Naokawa Yoshino and the soup pot, while playing chess with Naokawa Aoi, bullying this little nerd bird for fun.

Kiyomi Ruri ran at both ends, ran to see the soup soup boiling for a while, ran back to see the shogi for a while, and went into battle again when her hands were itchy, but this time she learned to be obedient, she and Naokawa Aoi played handicap chess - Naokawa Aoi asked her to take out a flying car and a guima at the beginning, which is equivalent to Chinese chess giving way to a rook and horse.

This is a new way to play Naokawa Aoi, TV education channel teaching or broadcast games rarely appear handicap chess, she played attentively for a while, staring blankly at the chessboard, shaking and re-deducing how to lay out in the absence of a child, and then Kiyomi Ruri knelt down again as a matter of course, and replaced Nanahara Takeshi to continue to play handicap chess - Nanahara Takeshi let Naokawa Aoi help her adapt to the evaluation meeting in advance.

After letting the son, Naokawa Aoi and Nanahara Takeshi fought back and forth, but after all, the experience was too shallow, not as good as Nanahara Takeshi's old scheming, or he was defeated, and even fell asleep early - playing chess with Nanahara Takeshi for too long, the mental consumption was too great, and the meal was sweet tonight, and he ate a little too much, and he couldn't open his eyes before eight o'clock.

Naokawa Yoshino and Kiyomi Ruri hurriedly went to put her to sleep, and when they came back, one continued to make soup, and the other sat down and continued to play chess with Takeshi Nanahara.

Laying the foundation is a job that depends on patience, and Takeshi Nanahara really doesn't take money in vain, and he didn't even return home, so he slept in the living room of Naokawa's house wrapped in a sleeping bag and wearing earplugs, and guided at any time if he had any questions. Naogawa Yoshino has been boiling, constantly skimming foam, stirring, ingredients, really sleepy before going back to the room to squint for a while, but Kiyomi Ruri is fine, sleepy to sleep with Naokawa Aoi, go to school as usual during the day, and come back after school.

After staying up for two days and two nights, this can be regarded as laying a solid foundation and having the capital to go out and fight head-on with peers.

On the afternoon of the third day, Naokawa Yoshino loaded the prepared vat of cooking and shogi into the car, pushed it himself, and Takeshi Nanahara led Naokawa Aoi, a blind man and a little dumb bird followed, and embarked on the road of fast food hegemony.

The sick and the weak go on the expedition!
