Shi Ke served the dishes. A black casserole with a lid was placed on the podium.
"Teacher, please taste it."
Dojima Gin smiled: "Why don't you introduce me more?"
"No need. This dish will answer it for me."
"Yeah. Okay. However, there are only five minutes left. If you fail, you two will drop out of school."
"I tried my best, and I have no regrets if I lose. However, I feel a little aggrieved by the fact that I formed a team with Mr. Moori."
"Okay. No more talking, let's taste it." Dojima Gin opened the lid of the casserole.
A golden light burst out instantly, illuminating the entire classroom with a brilliant golden light.
"Ah~ look, it's here again! Shi Ke-kun's dishes have special effects every time they appear! It was the same with Kuuga-senpai Shouki last time! He is indeed a strong man who can defeat the eighth of the ten heroes!..."
The classroom was in chaos.
"Defeating the eighth among the ten heroes?! Interesting!!" Dojima Gin showed the same smile as Kirisenzaemon-sama.
When everyone's eyes gradually adapted to the golden light, the true appearance of the dishes was officially visible.
"This is...a duck dish from Chinese cuisine. Cooking a whole duck without bones is quite a bold cooking style! The soup is so golden that it can reflect light but is still crystal clear. There is no doubt that it has quite a lot of flavor.
Excellent stewing skills. The visual effect is very good. You can tell at a glance that it is not ordinary, and the appearance is perfect. Next, it’s time to taste it." Dojima Gin picked up the spoon.
"Poof!" The spoon passed through the duck's muscle tissue easily. The skin was crispy but the meat was chewy but not elastic. At the same time, a strange fragrance came from inside the duck.
"This is the aroma of wild vegetables. Perilla, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, Shaoxing wine...Huh? Inside, this is?..., boneless chicken!! You actually stuffed a whole chicken into the duck!!"
"Did you hear that? There is a chicken inside that duck! I heard it. But there is no way to learn it..." The students started talking.
"Not only that, if you keep going inside, there will still be something inside. Senior, don't just dig and look. Eat." Shi Ke said.
"Oh, yes." Dojima Gin stretched out his chopsticks to eat the meat.
"The meat is crispy and tender, and the beastly smell of the chicken is handled very well!! Huh?!! This taste!... It's river shrimp and eggs!" Dojima Gin raised his head.
"Yeah." Shi Ke nodded.
"The minced shrimp meat still did not lose its elasticity, but adhered to the inside of the duck, forming something like a cream layer! The taste was delicate and soft, with no earthy smell, and the deliciousness of the river shrimp was perfectly interpreted.
"
"I mix the egg yolk and shrimp paste for seasoning and apply it to the inside of the duck. After it is cooked, it will form a protective film similar to Chinese steamed eggs. It can better protect the moisture loss of the dishes inside the duck and prevent the taste of the duck meat.
Turn into firewood.”
"Furthermore, because it is boneless duck, you don't have to worry about the bones when eating it. It makes people feel very relaxed and improves the eating experience of the guests. It is very thoughtful."
"..." Shi Ke nodded, and then thought to himself, "This is your idea. I have never thought about this level."
"Next, let's eat chicken." Dojima Gin held out his chopsticks.
"Huh?! It's even more perfect than the duck meat just now! And..., um? There are a lot of pebbles in it? And, eggs and fish?! No! And quail?!"
"I want to talk about the problem of cobblestones. Filling in cobblestones is a helpless move. Originally, the preparation time of my dish required three to four hours of slow simmering, but the conditions really did not allow it. So, I...
"
"You just heat the cleaned pebbles with olive oil, then stuff them into the chicken, and use the residual heat of the pebbles to heat it from the inside. This can greatly shorten the preparation time of the dish, and because the inside and outside start to heat at the same time, the heat penetrates
It’s perfect. Overseas, there are dishes such as stone pot rice and rock teppanyaki. Did you get the inspiration from here? Using pieces of hot pebbles to cook the teppanyaki from the inside is quite an idea.”
"No..., uh, you're right." Shi Ke thought about it but still didn't want to explain.
"The idea is good, but if the taste is not up to par, it is a failure. I will continue to taste it."
Dojima Gin started eating bit by bit. He ate quite elegantly at first, and after three or four bites, he couldn't stop devouring it!
When the time was up, Dojima Gin put down the chopsticks and spoons in his hands, patted his belly, and burped with satisfaction.
"It's so delicious!" the students in the classroom said involuntarily as they looked at the almost empty casserole.
One duck, one chicken, one quail, one fish, five eggs, and three taels of shrimps were all eaten without any left. The stone guests were all hungry.
"Thank you for tasting it." Shi Ke made a fist salute.
"Thank you...thank you for tasting it." Mouri Kogoro also followed suit.
"The test is now over. Students who have passed, please take the bus back to Totsuki Rikyu. Students who have failed, unfortunately, please take the back-to-school bus that has stopped in the park. You go first, I have something else to do." Gin Dojima
After speaking loudly, he burped and walked out of the classroom door.
"Eat too much! I need to go out and eat!" Dojima Gin thought with some embarrassment.
Shi Ke wiped the knife, put it back in the kitchen utensil box, and then walked out of the classroom door with the kitchen utensil box in hand.
"Shike-kun! Wait for me!!" Mouri Kogoro followed eagerly, his enthusiasm in hugging his thigh was amazing.
"If there are not enough people, the car won't drive. Just hurry up." Shi Ke said without looking back.
After a while, the bus that everyone was sitting on started to move. Mouri Kogoro sat next to the stone guest with a begging expression.
"Shi Kejun, are you thirsty? I have good oolong tea here."
"Not thirsty."
"Shike-kun, are you hungry? I have senbei and dorayaki here." Mouri Kogoro took out his bag.
"Not hungry."
"Shi Kejun."
"..."
"Shi Kejun?! Shi Kejun~~"
"..." Shi Ke glanced sideways at him.
"Shi Kejun, what do you see me doing?"
"Can you shut up? It's very noisy."
"Oh." A certain idiot covered his mouth and stopped talking.
"We're at the station. Call me. I'm tired. Let's take a nap." Shi Ke put his face on his hands and dozed off.
"oh!"
"Hey Maoli." Shi Ke thought for a moment and opened his eyes.
"Hmm? Mr. Shi Ke, is something wrong?"
"I hope you can stay for the next training camp. Remember one sentence, persistence is victory. I have a great time cooperating with you. Don't be eliminated."
"Hmm!!!" Mouri Kogoro nodded his head.
"I'm asleep. Call me when you arrive at the station."
