Zhao Fuyu's eyes fell on an ingredient that no one cared about, and the other dragon chefs also had their own choices.
On the other hand, Yukihira Seiichiro and his son all have completely different choices.
Yukihira Seiichiro fell in love with some seafood, while Saiba Chaoyang stopped in front of many fruits.
As for the boy Yukihira Souma, it seems that because he communicates more with Zhao Fuyu, his choice of ingredients is more in line with the selection of ingredients for Zhongshu cuisine.
It had a little bit of everything, but judging from the ingredients he chose, you couldn't guess what he wanted to do.
This sense of anticipation has always been what a good cook will bring to diners.
Even if you know what the recipe is, what changes can you make with the same recipe? This is what cooks need to study and make.
It's just that the number of cooks with such ability is pitiful in the face of the huge number of cooks.
Even those cooks who are able to enter the Shoulin Temple and are considered to be the best in Tozakura cuisine of this generation in all aspects can understand this. There are very few who can do these things.
Even among the dozen or so seeded players, not everyone understands this.
In addition to paying attention to the choices of Yukihira Seiichiro and his son, Zhao Fuyu also noticed the ingredients chosen by Shimura Jiro. When Shimura Jiro was wandering in a certain area, he thought about it and finally made up his mind to take it. After getting something.
It also allowed Zhao Fuyu to completely confirm the true inheritance and origin of the local cook who has now become his neighbor.
...
Taking the ingredients he selected, he walked deeper into the cold storage.
In fact, for him, there are not many parts that require cooking. The key lies in other parts.
This was also realized by Zhao Fuyu when he asked for the color of the food to be more outstanding in the multi-world restaurant.
So when he came to the cooking area, Zhao Fuyu didn't pay attention to the bustling cooking situation around him. Instead, he walked all the way back and came to a particularly secluded corner, where he put all the ingredients and other things. here.
After personally trying out the kitchen utensils and supplies on several nearby stoves, he selected the ones that were more convenient and gathered them on one stove, and then he started the actual cooking.
In fact, the appetizer he made was very simple. After putting down the ingredients in his hand, it was clear at a glance.
Melons with rugged lines all over the place are slightly cool in nature and sweet and bitter in taste.
It is the special ingredient that most people call 'bitter melon', and what Zhao Fuyu chose is the cold melon, a specialty of Guangdong near Zhongzhou!
In fact, bitter melon and cold melon are just different names, but it seems that the vegetables grown in some places are particularly sweet, while the vegetables grown in other places have a bit more earthy smell.
Because Guangdong is close to the coast and has a hot and humid climate, the cold melons produced here have a very different taste. The bitterness is much reduced and a hint of sweetness is added.
It is extremely suitable to be used as the appetizer chosen by Zhao Fuyu.
Considering that this is the end of midsummer and the beginning of autumn, ingredients like cold melon are one of the best choices for cooling off the heat, and the rest is even simpler.
I saw that Zhao Fuyu first carved an iceberg out of a huge ice block, and used dry ice to maintain the temperature of the iceberg, which also means that this dish will definitely be a cold dish.
Dishes like this are definitely not complicated at all to cook.
However, when he consciously noticed the cook on Zhao Fuyu's side, he was still surprised that the food he chose seemed to be too simple.
After preparing the iceberg decoration, the next most troublesome thing is to show your knife skills. After removing the flesh of the melon, cut the melon into sections and soak them in ice-cold salt water to destroy the cell wall and remove the excess juice inside. It also reduces the bitter taste inside.
After changing the iced salt water three times, the green and astringent smell of the cold melon remained unabated, but the oncoming bitterness had been eliminated to an unknown extent, which meant that the level was appropriate.
At this time, wash the cold melon with clean cold water, remove excess salt, wipe it clean, and then place it on a clean cutting board and slice it.
Remember not to cut it too thin at this time. If the cold melon is too thin, only the texture will be left, and a lot of the flavor of the cold melon itself will be lost.
Perhaps some people prefer the crispness produced when it is as thin as cicada wings, but Zhao Fuyu pursues more than just outstanding taste in this appetizer.
It was cut to about half the thickness of an ordinary Zhongshu-style kitchen knife. This level would not make it appear too thin, and after all, it would be thinner to allow for faster cooling. At this time, the cooking was coming to an end.
The cold melons were cut to almost the same thickness, and after being reshaped by the cold, they were placed on the ice.
Coupled with Zhao Fuyu's refreshing sauce composed of seafood soy sauce, lemon, sugar, freshly squeezed peanut oil, yellow mustard, a little minced garlic and spicy millet, it can be said to be an extremely simple, but definitely appetizing appetizer. Declare complete.
Even other cooks who also used the boiling method had already finished the dish before the water boiled for the second time.
This shows how fast his hands and feet are.
On the crystal clear iceberg, thin slices of emerald green melon are arranged like dragon scales. The white smoke raised by the dry ice hides the greenery among the icebergs.
It also makes people seem to have an artistic conception of being born in the unknown depths of Lushan Mountain.
A light of cooking flashed, and a mirage like the ice sea also appeared on it, which also indicated the completion of this dish.
Many people had extremely surprised looks in their eyes.
"There is no cooking process for such a simple dish..."
"Why are there still cooking lights and kitchen visions appearing?"
Many people feel that their cooking careers have been overturned. They never thought that such simple cooking can be of such a high level.
In fact, the seemingly simple steps contain a lot of ingenuity.
After the selected cold melons were rinsed several times with salt water, and the remaining ones were specially selected by Zhao Fuyu, only one-tenth of them could be used in this 'iced cold melon'.
Only the most delicate and crisp parts, with the fascia most cleanly removed, are used in cooking.
It can be said that this dish is an example of using ordinary ingredients to the extreme.
The pursuit of excellence in ordinary ingredients can also bring out stunning brilliance just by relying on the ingredients themselves.
Moreover, as an appetizer, this kind of cuisine follows the original taste and has an excellent effect in arousing diners' interest in the next dish.
The properties of cold melon can also help diners calm down, quench thirst and promote fluid production in hot summer days.
It can be said that even though it is a simple dish that is simply cut and served on ice, there are things inside that can be imitated by others.
As the saying goes, those who learn from me will live, and those who are like me will die.
It's such a simple truth...
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
