Chapter 118: Spices

“It’s very close to a glowing dish!”

The female super chef looked at the eyes of enjoyment and said slowly: "The taste of 'scalding' is the essence of the heat. You grasp it well. If you change it, I may not be able to go further... Then, it is the 'cook' of soybean minced meat. It also depends on the chef's control over the heat. Put the bean soup into hot oil and fry it for an extra second. The taste will be different. The soybean minced meat in your cooking is just right and the perfect heat!"

Xia Yu nodded when he heard this.

The two flavors of magical Mapo tofu, such as "scalding" and "spicy" are all about the heat. [Explosion] techniques and flame senses can completely help him firmly control these two essences.

"There is the color below..."

Ryoko Lina looked down at the food.

The red of the pepper, the white of the tofu, and the green of the tender leaves of the garlic are reflected in her black pupils, and all three colors are extremely bright.

Moreover, the beautiful appearance of Frost Desert Tofu also adds a lot of color to the cuisine.

"There is no flaw in appearance!" she said.

An Yilun, who was next to him, also swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes, I'm so hungry just by looking at this quality dish."

Sakamoto just pushed the glasses frame and didn't say anything, but his eyes also locked the tofu in the pot.

"What a pity..." Liangzi Lina ate a piece of tofu, but didn't eat the second piece. The aftertaste of the mouth mixed with the bursting smell made her shake her head and her voice fell: "The three flavors of 'scent', 'spicy' and 'natural' are not enough!"

"Um?!"

Before he finished speaking, Ryoko Lina suddenly frowned. The seventh taste of the dishes actually used her mouth after the "spicy" of the mountain pepper, the "naughty" of the pepper, and the "scent" brought by the green garlic and sauce, and strongly occupied her taste buds!

“What a natural taste!”

Two mysterious blushings rose from the cold face, Ryoko Lina's legs were weak, and she couldn't help but hold her left hand on the table, her eyes filled with mist, "What's going on with this taste!"

"The very abrupt grease aftertaste has been treated like this..."

Ryoko Lina felt that she was walking in the manor where she planted big tuna soybeans. The wind blew the unique fragrance of the plants. She couldn't help but bent down, picked a piece of fresh green soybean plant, tore open the pouch, and a few yellow and white plump soybeans fell on the palm of her hand.

I lowered my head and sniffed it lightly. The rich bean fragrance was filled with my hands. The feeling was like drinking a whole cup of breakfast, which was warm and satisfied.

"Huh..." Ryoko Lina's expression changed slightly.

The bean fragrant ginseng was mixed with a hint of spicy food, and her nose seemed to be on fire. She quickly opened her eyes and the food illusion in her mind disappeared.

"There is no real fusion yet!" She stared at the Mapo tofu on the plate, "It was because of the flaws in the spice treatment... Mountain peppers, peppers, and green garlic are actually spices with Chinese characteristics. Chinese spices, especially the use of chili peppers, are unique around the world."

What a pity!

Ryoko Lina sighed slightly in her heart.

The field she is good at is traditional Japanese cuisine, and her taste also prefers light. Therefore, "spice studies" is not in her specialty field. Otherwise, Ryoko Lina felt that she could give Xia Yu more guidance and improve the recipes together.

Unlike Ryoko Lina's regret, Sakamoto and An Yilun couldn't stop eating.

"So spicy, so hot, so fragrant!" An Yilun said vaguely, taking off his uniform jacket while eating. He sweated all over and kept breathing, and his face flushed.

"I'm rude!"

Sakamoto just unbuttoned a few buttons on his uniform, lowered his head slightly, and the lenses were reflecting.

Soon, a large plate of dishes came to the bottom, and only the red sauce was left on the plate.

An Yilun also drank the tea in the cup, but still felt his body burning. It seemed like a melting pot was hidden inside, and it was moving involuntarily, jumping, as if he wanted to evacuate the heat through exercise.

Bang!

A pair of palms suddenly slapped over, and An Yilun subconsciously stood up and used his palms to connect. Then, the four palms collided, making a crisp sound.

An Yilun also blinked and looked at the cool boy opposite him.

"Come and push sumo--"

Pushing the reflective glasses, Sakamoto looked at An Yilun with a squinting look. His sharp eyes made An Yilun feel that this guy was so handsome that he couldn't hate him.

Then, what is the push-hand sumo? An Yilun was also stunned.

Sakamoto stopped moving, and his left palm hit him again. An Yilun didn't think about it, raised his hand to block it, and his palms collided again.

After several consecutive times, An Yilun also felt unrestrained. The fire ball that could not be dissipated in his body seemed to be released from the collision of his palms through this intense sumo wrestling movement.

So the two of them formed their own world, and in a corner of the store, they were having a sumo muscle duel full of middle-class aura.

Ryoko Lina looked funny, and the corners of her lips raised a playful curve, "Is this the daily life of a boy's high school student?"

"Don't knock a boat of people over with one stick. It's normal for me." Xia Yu rolled his eyes.

He simply ignored the two people. Xia Yu held his chin. He had just tasted his own dishes and also tasted the flaws in the treatment of "spicy", "naughty", "scent" and tofu aftertaste.

The problem can be summarized in a combination of the problem, his use of spices is not up to standard!

The spice equation in the cuisine has not been really constructed.

In other words, this is a failure.

"Failed!"

Xia Yu was not surprised by this result.

"Is there any way to quickly improve the spice skills?" he asked Ryoko Lina.

"Spice studies are actually also empirical studies. The most basic thing is to identify thousands of spices commonly used around the world. You must not only remember the names of spices, but also know their taste, usage and taboos."

Ryoko Lina said, glanced at him with regretful eyes, obviously knowing Xia Yu’s thoughts, and shook her head and said, “The basics of spice studies are not available in two or three years. On top of the foundation, it is advanced matching applications. However, you have to know that spices are like food, full of strong regional style.”

"For example, Chinese spices, star anise, fennel, cardamom, chili pepper, tangerine peel, white peony, Luohan fruit, etc., have already involved the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine herbs, and the regional characteristics also lie in the use of herb spices."

"Indian spices, curry is the most well-known. Others, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper and white pepper, actually have a great overlap with Chinese spices. In the food industry, there is a saying that the best spices in the world are in India. If you have traveled to India, you may find in a spice market that there are more than 20 spices such as fennel alone, with different sizes, colors, fragrances, and usages."

Finally, Ryoko Lina sighed: "You are starting to get involved in spices now, and it's a bit late to learn from scratch..."

Her heart began to shake.

The time required for improving the recipe of "Magic Mapo Tofu" may be calculated in years.

The recipe is for Xia Yu, and Ryoko Lina has tried it, but she can't make shiny magical mapo tofu no matter what, so she can only hope for Xia Yu's own improvement, and she can only help her.

Maybe I want to find another way to be promoted to "Chef Lin", right? Ryoko Lina thought to herself.
