Mito Yumei, although she looks like a short-haired, dark-skinned tomboy wearing hot shorts that would make a lady blush, she is actually more careful than many girls. Especially when cooking beef, she can sense the changes in the beef at any time.
.
As a chef, you must control the temperature. Changes in the temperature of the beef will affect the taste, and she does this very well.
On the other side, the boy was also cooking seriously, trying to make his own steak rice bowl. What he made was Chaliapin steak.
Chaliapin is not the name of a country or a place, but a personal name. Of course, he is not a chef, but a musician. It is said that he once came to the island country to perform, but had a toothache, and hoped that the local chef could make a dish from his hometown.
steak.
So there was Chaliapin steak, onions and steak.
What the boy cooked was Chaliapin steak. Because onions were added, it got an extra name.
What the girl cooks is steak rice bowl, without any bells and whistles, just pure A5 beef without any embellishment, just pure beef.
"Boy, aren't you very arrogant? Why did you become quiet after Shokuki? Are you scared?" Mito asked.
"A chef who makes a lot of noise in the kitchen has no real skills. This is a consensus in the industry."
The girl snorted coldly and said, "No matter how many onions are processed, it won't save you. Just wait until you leave the academy."
The cooking time for both is about the same.
The three judges began to taste the food. Generally speaking, the one who ate first failed, and the one who ate later won.
However, the girl is still willing to let the referee taste her rice bowl first. After all, the temperature of the beef is very important, and it is the most delicious when eaten at the right temperature.
A5 level enjoyment, all three judges finished their meals quickly.
The girl smiled and said: "I specially filled a small bowl, otherwise I won't be able to make a fair judgment if my stomach is full. Then it's your turn to see if your cheap steak can beat me. If you fail,
It proves that value determines everything in this world, and expensive ingredients are more delicious than cheap ingredients.”
The young man said confidently: "Just wait and see."
"We just ate A5 beef, and now we want to continue eating good beef. I'm afraid your Chaliapin steak won't interest us." The referee felt in his heart that the winner had been decided.
"Please taste."
The minced onions piled on top of the steak look like a hill.
"The idea of using minced onions to tenderize cheap steaks is really good, but I don't know how it tastes."
After taking a bite, the three referees felt something different and finished their meals.
The girl knew at a glance that this competition was dangerous and asked: "Is his cheap steak so delicious?"
"The steak is definitely not as good as A5. Even if his Chaliapin steak is very authentic, it can't surpass your A5, but his rice is different, it's outstanding."
"Isn't my Chunyang rice excellent?" the girl asked.
"Of course your rice is also very good, but I always find his rice more appetizing the more I eat it."
The young man said: "Because I added plum powder, which is sweet and sour and is good for digestion."
"I see. I just said that the more you eat, the hungrier you get. It's a clever idea." The judge nodded and said.
"But Mito-san's rice is also very fragrant. It is paired with A5 beef. It's really hard to judge these two bowls of barbecued pork rice."
The boy looked at the girl and asked, "It was Dulan who taught you how to cook rice with Bagua, otherwise you would definitely ignore the rice."
The girl was silent, it was true, because of Dulan's reminder, she put the judges in a dilemma, otherwise she would have lost.
"Okay, we have decided that Soma Yukihira will win, not because his rice tastes better, but because his ingredients are more in line with the concept of cheap rice bowl. As a cheap food for the common people, rice bowl is garnished with A5 steak.
Originally, it was putting the cart before the horse. On the contrary, the cheap ingredients of the boy are more in line with the theme of the rice bowl. In this evaluation, the taste of both sides is even, but the core of the rice bowl theme is the common people, the boy is better."
"I'm not convinced. Why can using cheap ingredients be the reason for winning?" The girl was unconvinced and said: "The chefs trained by Yuanyue Academy all serve high-end hotels and special VIPs. How can we use such cheap ingredients?
Can it be served on the table? Even if Chaliapin has a toothache and wants to eat beef, it will be a high-quality steak selected from our Mito family. It is not a discounted steak bought from a convenience store. If the distinguished guest wants to eat rice bowl, then A5 is the best choice
Best choice instead of regular steak.”
"But cheapness is still the criterion for evaluating rice bowls. Not many VIPs would want to eat rice bowls made by ordinary people. The special situation you mentioned is an exception and is not included in the evaluation criteria. So it is still Yukihei Soma's win."
Although he won, the boy's expression was not good-looking. Because the rice bowl was labeled as cheap and not on the table, it became a food with a very low upper limit.
"Damn it." Mito was helpless. If he failed, he would join the rice bowl club and study common people's cuisine.
But that's the rule of the Shoji.
If you lose, you lose. Mito's cooking room, kitchen, and research institute have all been banned, and she is now abandoned. It's like being exiled from the headquarters of a large company to a branch.
"It's like "Naoki Hansawa."" Duran said that this punishment is a typical exile.
Although he won, the boy did not stay in the Donburi Club. Club activities were indeed not his type. He still wanted to be more free and see more cooking methods.
Anyway, with Mito joining the rice bowl club, it won't disappear, so that's it.
In addition to the dormitories, Jixing Residence also has a large piece of land for students to farm, which is not available in other dormitories. Even Soma Yukihira has never farmed by himself, but the students of Jixing Residence can farm and breed by themselves.
Cook with ingredients you produce yourself.
I was very busy early in the morning, taking care of my vegetable garden.
It is also very fresh for the boy. Freshly grown ingredients do taste better. However, he does not know how to farm, so he is still used to going to the supermarket to purchase ingredients. After all, farming is a waste of time, and the ingredients grown are not enough for him to practice new food.
vegetable.
So he just watches the fun and doesn't know how to farm.
But it’s good to try fresh vegetables. The cucumbers just picked from the fields are fragrant and refreshing, and you can’t stop eating them.
"Young man, it was a pity to eat the halberd last time. Without Dulan's intervention, you could have won more neatly."
"Senior Isshiki, do you also know about Dulan?" Soma Kohei asked.
"Of course I know. I have also been to his revolving sushi restaurant. He is a powerful guy. He uses the Five Elements Bagua in Chinese medicine to control the diners' bodies and make them dependent. He is a chef who is like a dark cook. This person is very dangerous.
, but you must not underestimate it." As a senior, Yisehui reminded the juniors to be careful.
"Do you understand the Five Elements Bagua?"
"I don't understand."
"Ah?" Seeing the senior's seriousness, he thought he was an expert in this field. Unexpectedly, the other party directly said that he didn't understand. He couldn't help but ask: "Then how does the senior know about Dulan's methods?"
"It's the research result of the Classical Literature Research Society. I just learn it now and sell it." The senior said with a smile: "If you want to know more, you can go to Marui. He is a member of the Classical Literature Research Society, although they don't do research.
cuisine, but they study ancient recipes and ancient food theories.”
"Okay, I'll go and ask."
"Young man, Dulan seems to have a special obsession with you. Have you known each other before?"
"We open a store in the same commercial street, so we can be considered commercial competitors." The boy said, "He is the guy I must defeat in order to protect the commercial street from him."
"Come on." The senior continued to plow the fields. He took off his clothes, leaving only the crotch cloth, letting the sun expose his skin and letting the sweat drip down to the ground.
The juniors and juniors were all dumbfounded. This senior really exposed himself at the slightest disagreement. He was simply an exhibitionist. But this senior wanted to violate his own etiquette. Baring his chest and back was the custom of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and he defied etiquette.
a method.
Because etiquette dictates what you should wear, and if you don't want to accept it, don't wear it.
