The strongest gourmet food system

Chapter 492 Chapter 23

After 10 minutes, Zheng Ke lifted the lid of the pot, brought out the small bowl containing the three ingredients, put it on the plate, put the clear chicken soup into the salt, and then poured it into the bowl along the wall of the bowl, and finally put the small bowl Bowl uncovered.

"Master Hirata, Senpai Shinomiya, please taste this Chinese cuisine, three bucks!"

Shredded ham, shredded chicken breast, and shredded winter bamboo shoots, the three kinds of silky ingredients complement each other, with dark brown shiitake mushroom slices on the top and light chicken soup on the outside.

The texture of the three silky ingredients is clear, but they are integrated, which makes people feel indescribably shocked.The light yellow chicken soup surrounds the bowl-shaped sansi, and the fragrance continuously enters the nose.

"Three wires?"

Hirata Wang looked surprised, it was hard to think that this dish was made by Zheng Ke, but, from the selection of ingredients to the final cooking of the whole dish, he watched Zheng Ke make the whole dish step by step with his own eyes.

Nozomi Hirata licked his lips, picked up the chopsticks, and gently picked up the shredded chicken, each shredded chicken was as thick as a human hair.The knives are neat, and the thickness of each piece is almost the same.

After entering the mouth, the shredded pork almost melted.With the stirring of the tongue in the mouth, the deliciousness of the chicken spreads to the mouth.

Chicken, winter bamboo shoots, and ham, the three ingredients are steamed, and the flavors of each other penetrate and blend together.

Nozomi Hirata took another bite of shredded ham.The ham is bright in color, the fatty meat is fragrant but not greasy, the lean meat is fragrant and sweet, and the crisp and refreshing taste of winter bamboo shoots permeates... This combination makes people feel indescribably comfortable.

"The ingredients are cut so finely that they are easily affected by the heat. If you are not careful, the whole dish may miss the best taste. However, this dish not only gives full play to the characteristics of the ingredients, but also makes each ingredient have a unique taste. The taste and texture are at their peak, and the fire is controlled just right, that is, the richness of the chicken, the salty taste of the ham, and the tenderness and crispness of the winter bamboo shoots... These ingredients show their most delicious parts on the plate.

"Huaxia cuisine pays attention to knife skills, and this cuisine requires very fine workmanship. The three ingredients must be of the same length and thickness. That's why they can be integrated, exquisite and neat. Hmm... Generally speaking, your knife skills are very good. "

Kojiro Shinomiya frowned slightly, reminiscing about the taste of the food. After swallowing, the salty and delicious food still remained in his mouth for a long time.

"You should be Yuanyue Shijie, right?"

"Fifth seat among the ten elites."

"Sophomore year?" Shinomiya Kojiro asked hastily.

"Yes." Zheng Ke nodded.

"No wonder..." Kojiro Shinomiya nodded slightly, suddenly realizing.

Absolun was also obviously intimidated by Zheng Ke's cooking. If Master Hirata wasn't here, he would have stepped forward and asked Zheng Ke how to train to make this dish.

Catherine was also a little surprised, but soon came to her senses, looking at Nozomi Hirata with passionate eyes, she couldn't help shaking her head.

Grandpa, when we came here just now, you didn't have this attitude.

"Grandpa Hirata, what do you think of Zheng Ke's knife skills?" Catherine asked.

"It's not bad." Hirata Wang retracted his eyes and looked at Catherine, "His advantage is only young... I have seen too many people with better knife skills than him, and he is not yet ranked."

Nozomi Hirata did not lie about this sentence.His understanding of cooking may not be as good as that of more powerful chefs, but due to professional reasons, he has come into contact with many famous chefs, including many three-star chefs.Therefore, he has seen chefs with even better knife skills than Zheng Ke, and there are quite a few of them.

But as Hirata Wang said, Zheng Ke's advantage is that he is young - as long as he is young, everything is possible.

What's more, apart from the superb knife skills, this three-slice dish is also very delicious. Even though he has eaten many chef's dishes, this dish still left a deep impression on him.

"Follow me." Hirata Wang pointed to Zheng Ke and said, then turned around and called a servant, "You lead them to the living room to rest first."

Zheng Ke was taken aback for a moment, and instantly understood that Nozomi Hirata was going to make a kitchen knife for him, and was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly followed Nozomi Hirata.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that I no longer make kitchen knives myself." Hirata looked back and said.

"Eh? Then...those people, they...and senior Shinomiya, and other chefs, their kitchen knives..." Zheng Ke said hesitatingly.

"Their current kitchen knives are all made by my disciples. I am only responsible for supervising the work." Hirata Wang said.

Zheng Ke's heart suddenly had mixed feelings, and he didn't know what to say, but most of them were regrets.

"However, this time I will make an exception and personally create a set of kitchen knives for you. This set of knives is very likely to be the only set I made for you, so you must cherish it." Hirata Wang said.

"Eh? Is this really okay?" Zheng Ke was a little unsure.

"Hmm... thank you for what you said. However, I haven't made a kitchen knife myself for a long time, and I don't know my own strength and how much I have left." Hirata Wang narrowed his eyes, " By the way, after graduation, will you come to Paris? Like Kojiro."

"However, I am good at Chinese cuisine, and it may be difficult for French cuisine to gain a reputation here." Zheng Ke laughed.

"Then open a Chinese restaurant, Paris is very big here, come and have a look, it will help improve the level." Hirata Wang said casually.

Zheng Ke nodded. In fact, he still hasn't figured out where he will go after graduation. Paris may be a place that can be considered.

The two walked into a study while chatting.There is a row of bookcases by the wall, and on the bookcases are countless scrolls.

Hirata asked Zheng Ke to fill in the form, which generally included some basic content, such as which hand to use the knife, the habit of using the knife, the type of kitchen knife he likes, and so on.

"By the way, how many kitchen knives do you want? The price of each kitchen knife is different, but the approximate price of a knife is 50 yen." Hirata Wang said.

"5...50 yuan?" Zheng Ke was so excited when he heard the price that he almost punctured the form. Isn't this price too expensive?

"Master... how many do you think I can order?" Zheng Ke's forehead was already sweating.

"I want you to order six or seven of them. However, considering your current financial situation, it is quite difficult to spend the money. So, just make one or two frequently used kitchen knives."

Zheng Ke pondered for a while, and said, "Master, I'll order three, willow blade, western knife, and sliced ​​knife. However, I don't have so much cash now, and it may take two days to hand over the money to you."

In fact, strictly speaking, a knife is enough.But when dealing with some relatively small ingredients, western food knives are more convenient. As for the willow blade, to be honest, he doesn’t use it too much, but for sashimi, it’s better to have a willow blade at hand. You can't borrow kitchen knives from others every time you do sashimi, right?
As for the money for making knives, the funds applied for this trip to Europe are about 60 yen, and the money I saved is not enough, so I can only borrow some money from Shang Tianwu first, and let him directly It is deducted from the dividends of Junke Pavilion.

"Okay...but please don't delay too long." Hirata Wang urged.

Abusoren and Catherine ate a few mouthfuls of the meal cooked by the servant, and chatted with Kojiro Shinomiya for a while, and then Shinomiya chose to leave because there was still something to do in the store.Not long after, Zheng Ke and Hirata Wang rushed over.

Zheng Ke can be said to have mixed joys and sorrows. He is happy because he finally has a set of kitchen knives that he is satisfied with. He is unhappy because he lost a lot of money. Moreover, his kitchen knives will not be ready until a month later.In the end, Zheng Ke had to leave the address of Jixingliao, and let Nozomi Hirata mail it to himself after he finished making the knife.
