Chapter 52: Time Belonging to the Teacher
A head of straight purple hair hung in front of Zhao Youqian's eyes, and the person who came was actually an acquaintance of his.
Ryoko, a student who lives with Soma Yukihira in Gokusei House!
You must know that Zhao Youqian also gave her a lot of guidance. After knowing that she specializes in fermented dishes, Zhao Youqian also taught her the method of fermenting wine similar to the salt that Liangzi is good at.
In fact, salt and fermented rice are two things of the same substance, but no one taught him, and Liangzi himself never paid attention to this.
And what she presented this time was a homemade dessert made with salt and fermented brown sugar.
Salted Brown Sugar Wine Rice Balls!
"Two kinds of glutinous rice... no! Three kinds?"
Zhao Youqian glanced at Liangzi who looked confident and nodded.
He took a spoon and scooped up a vaguely translucent but full-bodied ball, and put it into his mouth along with the fermented rice wine and brown sugar juice.
There is a unique taste of salt as soon as you enter the mouth. The light aroma of rice is mixed with the elegant salty taste, followed by the sweet and sour taste of fermented rice. Finally, there is the looming sweetness of brown sugar, and the thick brown sugar juice. In the mouth, it just has an average taste.
The chewy glutinous rice balls, after being squeezed by the teeth, slowly turned into a rich rice aroma, which combined with the taste of salt and fermented rice wine, expanded the aroma of rice again.
After closing his eyes for a moment, Zhao Youqian seemed to be in a rice field, surrounded by endless green rice and brown sugar water flowing in the rice field.
"qualified!"
The moment he opened his eyes, Zhao Youqian had already announced the result.
"You did a good job. You made use of what you are good at, and quickly grasped the main idea and incorporated salt into your recipes."
Waving his hand, Zhao Youqian motioned to Liangzi to go aside and rest.
Seeing someone pass the assessment directly, some students who were ready to take action became a little unable to hold back.
However, most of them have not finished their work yet, so they can only raise their heads and hope, thinking that they will be the next to get the food, and they can also pass Zhao Youqian's review.
However, when another thirty minutes passed, it was someone else who took his food, and it was a noble person beyond their reach.
Kiri Erina!
Stir the prepared mixed liquid and meringue together, and put it into the mold. The oven has already been preheated to 180 degrees. Put water on the baking sheet below, put the soufflé mold into the middle layer, and heat it up and down. Bake at 180 degrees for ten minutes, then turn to 160 degrees and bake for another 20 minutes before taking it out of the oven.
Served with mint, sea salt and lemon curd prepared by Erina.
A mouth-watering plate of sea salt cheese soufflé with a rich aroma was placed in front of Zhao Youqian.
On the soufflé cake, which is full of air and flexibility, a few dots of sauce are sprinkled like emerald green emeralds. Coupled with finely sifted powdered sugar, the visual enjoyment alone is extraordinary.
Zhao Youqian looked at Kirina who looked very unhappy, picked up the spoon and scooped the cake directly.
'This feeling... really feels like digging into a piece of light foam...'
At this time, the center of the soufflé, which had been out of the pan for a while, began to collapse slightly, but to Zhao Youqian, none of this mattered.
When the soufflé on the spoon is put into the mouth, the melted cake body begins to collapse almost as soon as it comes into contact with saliva, as if you are actually tasting a cloud.
With such a wonderful taste, even Zhao Youqian, who doesn't like desserts, couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction.
Powdered sugar mixed with mint, sea salt and lemon curd opened up Zhao Youqian's taste buds in an instant. Salty and sweet appeared alternately, and the rich milky aroma covered everything, making Zhao Youqian feel like he was on a grassland, surrounded by galloping horses and horses. bison.
Wisps of fresh wind blew by his ears, giving him an extremely refreshing feeling.
"Passed!"
The unsurprising answer was that Zhao Youqian didn't notice any flaws in this dish.
'Is this the power of God's tongue?'
She looked at Erina Kiri with a hint of strangeness, but at this time, the arrogant young lady turned around as a matter of course, came to the resting corner and sat down.
Obviously, she was not the first to pass. This matter still made this young lady worried.
It was as if since she started, the students who had completed the cooking presented their works one by one. Just when they were expecting to pass, the 'failures' one by one completely knocked their luck to the bottom.
"I want to emphasize again, you are students of Yuanyue, don't bring street-stall-level food in front of me!"
"There is still a little time, and those who fail will still have another chance!"
After being judged ten unqualified in a row, Zhao Youqian finally spoke in dissatisfaction.
"If you still serve this kind of garbage, I will make the rest of you fail!"
"Do you understand?"
Seeing that everyone was tense, Zhao Youqian withdrew his eyes with satisfaction.
"Continue the assessment!"
Maybe they listened to Zhao Youqian's words, or maybe the desserts that followed were all carefully made, and finally they served out another qualified series of flavors.
However, as time goes by, more and more unqualified people will be eliminated.
Finally, when the hour and a half came to an end.
Zhao Youqian stood up, watched the losers announce their fate, and then turned to look at those who passed.
"Congratulations, you passed the first test. Now... get ready to go back to the palace!"
With that said, Zhao Youqian left in a hurry, leaving the qualified candidates present looking at each other in confusion. Only Erina Kiri, who was one of the top ten, vaguely knew something about it.
This is also the reason why graduates from Yueyue come to participate in residential training every year.
This is also Yuanyue Group’s feedback and help to outstanding graduates!
...
After the first assessment, all the lecturers gathered together.
After some freshmen have been eliminated, there is no need for all the remaining lecturers to go to the scene. The remaining instructors gathered in another conference hall in Totsuki Palace.
This time is the time for the residential training instructors.
This is also the fundamental reason why the graduates of Yuanyue are willing to participate in such a training!
Recipe exchange and cooking competition among Totsuki graduates!
And this is the reason why they can still find the direction quickly and stay on the road of cooking even after encountering bottlenecks.
The annual residential training is not only for freshmen, but also for graduates!
This is why the host of the residential training every year is the chief chef of the Totsuki Group, Gin Dojima!
Because only he has enough cooking skills and charm to suppress these arrogant graduates, and even contribute his own cooking secrets to them without worrying that anyone will surpass them, thus forming a real communication.
Chapter completed!
