gourmet chef

Chapter 411
"Sakura sauce, I want to order."

Sakula means cherry blossoms and sakura in Japanese, and Bai Xiaobai added a "sauce" to indicate cuteness.

Bai Xiaobai is doing as the Romans do. After all, Japanese people like to say "kawaii (cute)" when they see a slightly prettier girl.

"Okay, wait a moment." Sakura smiled and slowly exited the room.

After 2 minutes, she came back with a menu in her hand.

Bai Xiaobai turned to the menu and looked through it.

The menu is all family Japanese cuisine, the style is relatively simple, and there are not many types.

Bai Xiaobai had a big appetite, so he ordered two Japanese rice balls, one tempura, a small plate of sashimi, one thick egg yaki, a bowl of miso soup, and a small bottle of sake.

After recording the order, Sakura said enthusiastically, "Mr. Xiaobai, the hotel is short of staff, so your cooking will take some time. The hotel has a hot spring. You can take a bath first to wash away the fatigue of the journey."

"OK, thanks."

Sakura took the menu and stepped back to get busy.

Bai Xiaobai packed his luggage for a while, then glanced at the room.

Although the room was small, it was well organized.

The layout is standard Japanese style.

The beige tatami mats are very clean, as if they were newly laid.

There is a Japanese-style low table on the tatami mats, and on the table is a small bottle with a bright rose in it.

On the ground in the northwest corner of the room, spread out a clean bedding, this is the 'nest' where Bai Xiaobai sleeps tonight

The room has a large window facing due west.

But it's night now, Bai Xiaobai can't see the scenery outside.

After packing up his luggage a bit, Bai Xiaobai went downstairs with a change of clothes. Under the guidance of the old lady, Bai Xiaobai went to the hot spring in the backyard of the hotel.

Bai Xiaobai cleaned his body again with warm water, and then went down to the soup pool.

On a cold day, soaking in hot springs is simply a great enjoyment in life, much more comfortable than ordinary bathing.

That's a little weird to say.

There is no one in this huge hot spring pool except Bai Xiaobai.

Bai Xiaobai was also happy to be at ease. He was in the hot spring pool, completely letting himself go, doing backstroke and breaststroke, and then playing a submarine game.

After soaking for a while, the fatigue on my body has long been eliminated.

At this time, Sakura's gentle call came from outside the soup pool, "Mr. Bai, your dinner is ready."

Bai Xiaobai went ashore naked, dried himself, changed his clothes, and went back to his room.

Sakura held a tray and put the food on the table one by one.

In addition to Bai Xiaobai's meal, there is also a big apple.

Sakura said, "Mr. Xiaobai, this apple is grown in Aomori Prefecture, and I give it to you for free."

Feelings, this girl has taken a fancy to me?As soon as you come, you will give an apple to confess your love.

Bai Xiaobai flirted shamelessly, then asked casually: "By the way, Sakura, it seems that there are not many people staying in this hotel?"

Bai Xiaobai just asked casually. He hasn't seen any other customers in the store since just now.

"Mr. Bai, you are probably the last customer of this hotel. In a few days, this hotel may be closed."

Bai Xiaobai picked up the seaweed rice ball and took a bite. Hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but froze.

"why?"

Sakura doesn't look very old, but she is a little wary.She sighed, unwilling to say any more, then exited the room and closed the sliding door.

It's no wonder, after all, they are just strangers, and they haven't had much contact with each other before, so it's reasonable for the little girl not to say more.

But judging from her expression just now, she probably has some troubles on her mind.

Bai Xiaobai guessed that, in all likelihood, the store was about to close down because of poor management and no customers. It might face financial difficulties.

Bai Xiaobai thinks very simply, anyway, he is a tenant, if he stays for one night, he may leave tomorrow.

Since the other party didn't want to say more, he naturally wouldn't ask more.

Keep enjoying the food.

Really don't say it.

This day's benzene triangular rice ball looks simple, it is a piece of seaweed wrapped in a rice ball, not even sour plum and salmon roe are put in the dough, but it tastes quite good.

First of all, Riben rice is not like domestic or Thai rice. Its texture is stickier and tougher. When it is kneaded into rice balls, the rice grains are squeezed and glued together.

The crispy seaweed sublimates the aroma of rice.

The lightly salty rice balls are great as a side dish.

Bai Xiaobai picked up thick omelette and ate it with rice balls.

Eggs are a common ingredient, and all countries have highly popular egg dishes.

Among Chinese cuisines, the most common, popular and simplest egg cuisine is poached eggs.

Among Japanese cuisine, the most famous and traditional egg dish is thick egg yaki.

Bai Xiaobai has heard of this kind of cuisine, but has never eaten it.

The golden-yellow thick egg is baked in the shape of a roll cake, which is very tempting. Bai Xiaobai takes a bite.

The egg flavor is thick, puffy and delicious, and there is a special sweetness of milk that melts on the tip of the tongue.

This feeling is that milk and cream are added to the beaten egg liquid.

No wonder the taste is so smooth.

When Bai Xiaobai eats, he doesn't just eat, he tastes it.

Food travel is not for nothing, more knowledge, more learning and accumulation of food knowledge are also essential qualities for a food chef.

After eating onigiri and thick egg yakiniku, Bai Xiaobai picked up a slice of sashimi.

Sashimi is sea fish sashimi.

There is no special seasoning process in the production of this dish.

It is to cut sea fish into slices and eat immediately.

Therefore, this kind of sashimi cuisine has high requirements for the ingredients themselves.

The selection of fish species, origin, freshness, and the location of the fish are all very particular.

In addition, the chef's knife skills will also affect the chewiness and taste of sashimi.

Bai Xiaobai ordered the sashimi assortment.

According to Sakura's introduction, they are all made of fresh and fresh sea fish.

The sashimi fish species on the platter include tuna, salmon, sea bream, flounder, horse mackerel and so on.

Among them, tuna is the most valuable.

Tuna is also called tuna, also known as tuna fish, and its meat is rose red, which is due to the large amount of myoglobin contained in the muscles of tuna.

In Japan, tuna is a rare and high-end ingredient, which is similar to the status of abalone and shark's fin in China.

It is also one of the ingredients that the Japanese government invites foreign guests to use.

Bai Xiaobai picked up a piece of rose-red tuna sashimi and dipped it in soy sauce.

The moment of entrance.

The natural deliciousness is revealed between the lips and teeth.

The fish seems to be reborn in the mouth, and the degree of deliciousness cannot be described by any language.

The meat is tender and delicious, with a strong aroma that melts in the mouth. Compared with cooked fish, it has a completely different flavor.

Bai Xiaobai closed his eyes, completely immersed in satisfaction and enjoyment.

This is Japanese food, it can change a person's eating habits.

Bai Xiaobai has never been used to raw food, but this tuna sashimi, served with a little soy sauce, is more delicious than he imagined.
