Lunch was eaten late, and dinner time at Dr. Ali’s house was also pushed back by an hour.
After chasing and playing with the children at noon, the cats left one after another. Only Wuming stayed until the evening, lying on the roof of the commercial vehicle, watching a group of people preparing for an outdoor meal arrange tables and chairs.
Haiyuan Ai took the canned cat from the house, opened it and put it on the hood of the car, "Wu Ming, if you're hungry, come down and eat first."
Wuming meowed lazily, stood up and stretched, but did not look at the canned cat. He jumped out of the car and ran all the way to the stove, raising his head and sniffing.
The smell of charcoal fire was a bit disappointing, but the smell wafting out of the clay pot was really fragrant, with the fresh aroma of fish and various indescribable aromas...
Lots of fragrance, but not overwhelming, and just smells delicious.
With this thing around, who would eat canned cats?
Conan moved to the side and continued to squat by the stove with the others guarding the clay pot.
For this pot, the doctor specially found a spare small stove for camping. They also dug out a clay pot from the warehouse. After they had been chasing the cat for a long time, Chi Feichi hadn't finished processing the ingredients. After more than an hour, I put a bunch of ingredients into cans and simmered them on low heat until now.
This jar of stuff was definitely the highlight of the night.
"Wu Ming doesn't want to eat canned cats anymore," Hui Yuan Ai reluctantly walked to the stove and turned to look at Chi Fei Chi, who was cooking vegetarian dishes next to him. "Brother Fei Chi, can Wu Ming eat the food in this clay pot? If If you can, let’s share it when the time comes.”
Chi Feichi was busy with his hands and said without raising his head, "The cat can eat it."
"Gululu..."
Yuantai's stomach made a sound. After a pause, he sighed and looked directly at the clay pot on the stove, "I'm so hungry..."
"You just ate so much in the morning, why are you hungry again?" Mitsuhiko complained, and added, "I'm not that hungry, but I still want to try this. I've never had it before."
Conan began to wander.
Chi Feichi seldom makes food that is repetitive, right?
Just like the 'Fried Fly Legs' before, Xiaolan has made it many times since he learned it, and he still doesn't get tired of it, but Chi Feichi just doesn't want to make it again.
It is also a kind of happiness to have endless delicious food.
Okiya Subaru helped Chi Feichi, carried the cooked dishes to the outdoor tables and chairs, and greeted happily, "Ready to eat."
"Great!"
Genta and Mitsuhiko suddenly jumped up.
"Don't jump next to the stove," Chi Feichi reminded, "wash your hands first."
"yes……"
The two of them obeyed obediently and followed the troops to the bathroom to wash their hands.
No matter how quickly the others wash their hands, they still have to sit at the table and wait for Chi Fei to come out after washing their hands.
Yuantai closed his eyes, stretched his neck, and sniffed around, trying hard not to let his saliva flow out, "It smells so good, I smell the smell of meat that is more fragrant than eel rice..."
Koshimi Nanatsuki observed the plate of shrimps in front of him, "There are tea tips on the shrimps, but the fragrance of tea is very obvious. Is it because the ingredients have been boiled in tea?"
Seeing that Chi Fei had not come out yet, Okiya Subaru took on the responsibility of explaining as a cooking assistant. He narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Yes, we went to the mall to pick out the Longjing tea. Mr. Chi said that the dishes must be properly matched. , if you have a strong flavor, you must have a light flavor, so as to make people more appetizing, so I have prepared dishes that are refreshing and appetizing. In fact, I think this is more suitable for appetizers..."
Conan turned to look at the makeshift cooking table.
He remembered that he saw a box of tea over there just now, with a label on it...
(;;)
Then a small box costs 60,000 yen. He had read it right just now.
Okiya Subaru felt that he could not live up to the delicious food on the table, so he was seriously planning how to eat it.
"Then let's try the spicy Mapo Tofu. This is a famous Chinese dish. You should all have tasted it..."
"Then we eat golden tortillas, which is the plate of golden tortillas in front of the doctor. This kind of food has the aroma of cereals and vegetables. It can neutralize the spicy taste that we have tasted before. It can also be used as a staple food, accompanied by fermented rice. Eat the meat together, which is the plate in front of Bumi. It is a strong-flavored food with a thick texture, which is perfect for matching..."
other people:"……"
Okay, please stop.
You can smell and see, and there are explanations, but you can't use chopsticks. This is very cruel torture.
"Next, let's try the seabass balls, which is the plate in front of Conan. It is a food with a sweet and sour taste, but it is not very obvious. It is delicious and can clear the previous burden on the tongue's taste buds," Subaru Okiya said under his glasses. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the earthenware pot in the middle, "Then you can try the finale dish in the earthenware pot..."
Among the dishes on the table that were all delicious and delicious, the clay pot that had attracted attention before was almost ignored.
Dr. A Li looked over and said, "By the way, what kind of dish is this?"
"Buddha jumped over the wall," Okiya Subaru looked more serious, took out his mobile phone, lowered his head to open it, and used a search engine to find the content before opening it. He raised the mobile phone to show it to Dr. Agasa sitting next to him, "One of the dishes at the Chinese state banquet."
Dr. A Li: "!"
I have never heard of the name of the dish, but with words like 'state banquet' in it, it's a bit scary.
Conan also leaned over in surprise and looked at the information on Okiya Subaru's phone, especially the large list of expensive ingredients. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "Then, ingredients such as shark fins, pigeon eggs, and fish lips, wouldn't they be completely Is that what you came for?"
Okiya Subaru put away his mobile phone, "It took a lot of effort to buy all the ingredients. Mr. Chi spent nearly two million yen..."
Dr. Agasa, Ai Haibara, Nanatsuki Koshimizu and the other three children were turned to stone.
If nothing else, this bottle is really expensive.
Okiya Subaru looked at the clay pot on the table, "While handling the ingredients, Mr. Chi and I made several mistakes. He eliminated all the ingredients, so there were no more left, only the ones in the pot. .”
Chi Feichi washed his hands and came out of the room, sat down at the vacant seat, and saw the others looking at him blankly, and explained, "Putting those ingredients in will only affect the taste. It is better to discard some defective products than to ruin the entire dish." The food needs to be good, and I keep the defective food, stew it into porridge later, and take it to the shelter to feed the animals.”
Others breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it is not a waste if it is not thrown away.
Subaru Okiya thought about the salary and operating expenses of FBI agents, and he could understand the reason for Dr. Agasa's complicated expression, but he could only smooth things over with a squinted smile, "Then, let's start eating."
The group of people immediately cheered up and began to share the dishes on the table in the order Okiya Subaru had recommended before.
Okiya Subaru's previous arrangement was indeed very good, and it was in line with Chi Feichi's idea. Depending on the food's meat and vegetables, degree of aroma, sweetness, bitterness, and spicyness, some dishes would act as a moderator to relieve the stimulation of the taste buds caused by the previous dish, and also It allows people to taste the essence of the next dish.
If you eat like this, you can eat more.
Except for Yuantai, the other children's appetites were relatively small. After eating the sea bass balls, they felt that their stomachs were almost full. However, seeing Chi Feichi getting up to lift the lid of the clay pot, he decided to give the finale a little face. No matter what, you have to taste it before resting your chopsticks.
After the lid of the clay pot is opened, there is a layer of lotus leaves to seal the top, and another layer of lotus leaves to seal the top...
As the lotus leaves are uncovered layer by layer, the aroma that had become vague and non-existent becomes stronger and stronger.
Conan no longer cared about complaining about the layers of lotus leaves. He watched Chi Feichi stop and pick up the chopsticks at hand.
He can still eat it!
“The essence of this dish is that the aromas and tastes of the eighteen main ingredients and twelve auxiliary ingredients are blended together and distributed in the connecting locations. And where the ingredients are not connected with other ingredients, they can maintain their own flavor. Characteristics, coupled with the combination of cooking wine and spices, the fusion should not make the smell messy or the fusion is not enough. In addition, the lid cannot be opened casually in the middle to avoid causing food smell..." Chi Feichi smelled the continuous overflow from the clay pot. He frowned at the aroma. When he sat down, he looked at Okiya Subaru and said, "The smell of abalone and duck meat is a bit confusing."
Okiya Subaru: "..."
Can you tell which materials don't blend well just by smelling them?
other people:"……"
horrible.
Chi Feichi continued to identify the smell, "The integration of other ingredients is more or less problematic, probably because I reduced the amount of Shaoxing wine considering that there are children here..."
Okiya Subaru came back to his senses and wanted to say, 'I'm sorry, I'm not very talented in academics, so I really can't smell it.' He smiled dryly and said, "There is nothing I can do to take care of the children, and I think it's actually pretty good... …”
Try to identify the scent.
Okiya Subaru: "The chicken, shiitake mushrooms and other ingredients blend very well, and you can smell their respective smells..."
other people:"……"
This...why do they smell only fragrance and can't tell how much fragrance there is?
Is this the so-called talent of a chef?
Okiya Subaru: "..."
He has tried his best to identify it, but his heart is tired.
Chi Feichi nodded, agreeing with Okiya Subaru's words, "It's not bad, half failure and half success, let's eat while it's hot."
"Then start from one corner and taste it in a clockwise direction, so as not to mess up the ingredients." Dr. Ali smiled and picked up the serving chopsticks and began to share the food with a group of people, not forgetting to give Wuming a small bowl. The next dish came, "Let's start with the winter bamboo shoots..."
The sweetness and refreshing taste of winter bamboo shoots, the umami flavor from the fusion of winter bamboo shoots and seafood, the slightly thicker flavor from the fusion of winter bamboo shoots and pork belly slices...
The fragrance swirls between the lips and teeth. Ingredients with the same appearance seem to taste slightly different, but they are blended so that they are not abrupt at all, allowing people to taste the ultimate deliciousness brought by various fusions.
The place suddenly became quiet, and everyone was slowly tasting. Even Yuan Tai didn't speak loudly. Before he could recognize all the taste, he suddenly found that the winter bamboo shoots in the bowl were gone. He could only regret it. Aftertaste, eyeing another ingredient.
Chi Feichi saw that the others were so engaged in eating, so he took over the task of sharing the food from Dr. A Li, and kept distributing the next ingredient into other people's bowls, while he only took a little of each to taste.
The clay pot is very deep, and the ingredients are also placed inside. Even if a group of people share the food, each person will get a large amount, but after all the ingredients are distributed, a group of people still regret that they are not happy.
Yuantai savored the taste in his mouth and found that the taste was still dissipating. He looked at the clay pot with only soup left, "Is this all gone?"
Mitsuhiko sighed, "I feel like I haven't eaten enough yet."
Ayumi felt her stomach was bloated belatedly, and she reached out to stroke her round belly to digest food, and said helplessly, "But my stomach is so full, I can't eat anymore..."
