Gourmets of the Heavens

Chapter 17 The Barrier of Taste



“This is the fragrance of vegetables”

A little surprise appeared in Seiichiro's eyes.

"It's French vegetable soup (pot-au-feu French)!"

Although he heard Seiichiro Xinghei's admiration for Zhao Yougan, Nakiri Senzaemon still had full confidence in his granddaughter.

Among the younger generation, if Erina is let go to cook, it is impossible to lose to anyone.

"Dad, what... what's minestrone?"

Xing Ping Chuangzhen is more interested in Erina's cooking, especially this kind of cooking technique that he has never heard of.

He helped out at Xingping Restaurant since he was a child. Although he has a lot of first-line cooking experience, but because he is in a small shop in Dongyingzhou, his vision of world cuisine is still narrow, which is why Xingping Seiichiro is going to send him to Totsuki The reason for reading in the garden.

After all, in Dongying, there is only Yuanyue, the No. 1 cooking school in the Far East, who can connect to the culinary school of the world and follow the trend of the times at any time.

"It's a family dish of French cuisine, and one of the cores of all French cuisine. Anyone who has mastered French cuisine must have fully mastered French vegetable soup, because it is the basis of almost all French cuisine."

Xingping Seiichiro does not mind teaching his son on the spot, but also to let him see a wider world of food.

"And a good enough French vegetable soup already represents the cornerstone of deliciousness."

Nodding his head, Xing Ping Chuangzhen probably understood that this is the same type of thing as Yaozhou broth, but...

"Why does she have to keep stirring?"

"Isn't it necessary for vegetable soup?"

Nakiri Senzaemon chuckled.

"Then you have to be careful, my beauty-loving granddaughter is not willing to use this trick all the time!"

I saw that not long after the soup pot boiled, Nakiri Erina began to stir in the soup pot continuously, as if intending to squeeze out the flavor of all the ingredients.

With a steady hand, she kept moving along the wall of the pot. At this moment, she only had this pot of soup in her eyes.

Sweat quickly soaked her clothes, but her figure, which was too much for ordinary junior high school graduates, was no longer the focus.

The vegetable fragrance that was still strong before gradually became introverted, as if it had been solidified by something, but a rich and fragrant faint taste slowly drifted out from the pot of soup.

"It's really surprising, Mr. President, Erina's research on French cuisine has reached this point?"

Looking at Nakiri Senzaemon with some surprise, Seiichiro Xinghei knew exactly what Nakiri Erina was cooking.

"French consommé, but some seven or eight-star cooks can't control the ultra-difficult cuisine!"

French consommé, generally speaking, is an upgraded version of French vegetable soup, but it is more time-consuming and expensive in materials. The average French food lover can also restore it to a certain extent, but the real essence lies in the delicate and subtle processing.

Once there is a trace of impurities in the soup, the French consommé can be said to have failed.

Especially in the mouths of these chefs, clear soup is all about purity.

Any little impurities will be infinitely magnified. This is an extremely dangerous dish, but the effect is also extremely brilliant after completion.

‘All the flavors are given in a bowl of soup, the simpler the more complex? '

Xingping Seiichiro did not expect that Nakiri Erina, who was surrounded by the culinary world of Dongyingzhou and looked like a princess, could understand this truth at this age, and she became more determined to send her stupid son to Yuanyue.

The current Xingping Chuangzhen is no longer suitable for growing up in the commercial street. He needs to see a wider world. Even if he can teach more cooking techniques and cooking secrets, it is not as good as what he has grown after studying in the academy.

'but.'

Fortunately, Seiichiro Hira still showed a hint of helplessness on his face. Even such a Nakiri Erina, with the blessing of the 'God's Tongue', still has a slim chance of winning.

Looking at Zhao Youqian, who seemed to be doing nothing, he saw that he started kneading the dough again. The technique was like kneading the dough into a long snake that came alive, and a rolling pin was constantly spinning in his hands. .

It can be vaguely seen that Zhao Youqian has been looking for a balance point, a balance point that maximizes the gluten in the dough!

The white dough was flying up and down in Zhao Youqian's hands, and the white round dough became a vague shadow, but everyone could feel the elasticity and tenacity of the dough.

'pata'

Finally, Zhao Yougan's hand stopped.

The dough falling on the chopping board, like a breathing bread, expands o_O and shrinks O_o.

Xingping Chuangzhen was very surprised.

"Father, Brother Yogan is that."

Seiichiro showed a somewhat strange expression.

"He used yeast. Generally speaking, if you want to ferment, you need to place the dough, but he uses continuous kneading and turning, and in a short period of time, the air and yeast dough are accelerated by the temperature of the human body. dough."

Seeing his son nodding his head knowingly, Seiichiro swallowed what he wanted to say later.

'But...my recipe doesn't use fermented dough, did he make the deletion because of insufficient techniques, or...he further improved my recipe? '

You must know that even if Seiichiro created a dish casually, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can cook. In just one night, not only restored but also improved, even if it is a special grade, it cannot be done.

Because being able to do this has nothing to do with cooking skills, but with talent!

Just when everyone's eyes gradually focused on Zhao Yougan who was starting to process the spices and minced meat, there was a crisp sound of plates colliding, and they realized that Nakiri Erina had reached the final stage of her cooking!

And Zhao Youqian, who had been slowly grinding the dry-fried spices, was also attracted by the sound.

‘The ingredients found by Nakiri’s family are indeed of high quality, which are almost the same as those I used in the gourmet space. It seems that I can restore most of the flavors! '

Having changed the Huo Yipinxian recipe that originally belonged to Xingping Seiichiro, Zhao Youqian has a lot of work on his hands, but it is not complicated. Instead, he has time to look at the opponent's state.

I couldn't help being surprised when I found out that Nakiri Erina was almost finished and started to put it on the plate.

After all, it has only been a little more than an hour since the start of the test, and before he started wrapping and steaming, Nakiri Erina had already finished it.

And from the looks of it, it seems that her dish is soup!

‘Does she want to take the first step and build a delicious barrier in the mouth of the judges? '

Erina, who was meticulous in arranging the dishes even with a little sesame leaf decoration, was full of confidence.

She handed three shallow plates to Nakiri Senzaemon and the others, took a step back and smiled proudly.

"Please taste, Spring Waltz!"

The light blue soup base is clearly visible on the white plate, and the slightly swaying water waves spread out one by one, mixed with a few asparagus, sesame leaves and small carrots in it, creating a green lake scene in spring displayed in front of diners.

It makes people feel the strong breath of spring before tasting it!
