[Comprehensive] On the possibility of food conquering the world

Mapo tofu is one of the most representative specialties in Sichuan, and it is a famous dish of Sichuan cuisine.The main ingredients are tofu and minced beef, and seasoned with toppings.Although it is very simple to look at the ingredients and ingredients, it is a Sichuan cuisine that fully embodies the integration of five flavors.

However, Liu Maoxing said that he would cook him a magical mapo tofu, a six-taste dish with the sixth flavor. October thought for a long time, color, aroma, spicy, numb, hot, and five flavors, of which the three flavors all come from the perception of the mouth , if there is a sixth taste, presumably there will be no other flavors except the taste brought by the entrance, but where can we start with the taste?Is tofu the main ingredient?

October was puzzled, but fortunately, Liu Angxing and Lan Feihong didn't keep him waiting for a long time, and there was no one else in the restaurant before noon, so the spicy aroma of Mapo Tofu came from the back kitchen It gradually spread to where October sat.

What kind of taste is that, the fresh aroma of garlic, the pungentness of chili pepper, the numbness of sansho pepper, mixed with the unique mellow aroma of meat and beans, it is ground meat and bean paste.

"Here, your magic mapo tofu!" The high-pitched voice of the handyman came from the back kitchen, and when Shi Yue turned his head, he had already opened the curtain and got the mapo tofu dish with the sixth flavor.Probably unable to bear the spicy smell, Mr. Kurosawa jumped up to the window sill to breathe fresh air.

Shi Yue, who is used to the light Japanese diet, sneezed hard when faced with this dish, and then began to look at the tofu dish in front of him.

The most classic tofu dish in Japan is soup tofu, which is also seasoned with sweet noodle sauce made from beans. It is sweet and refreshing. Compared with the dish in front of you, it is completely two extremes.Needless to say the aroma, the color of fried sesame oil and red pepper covered the entire plate, the white and tender tofu collided with the red spicy soup, and the green onion of the garlic leaves was very beautiful.

The color and aroma tempted Shiyue's senses, making him forget even to use the system to identify it. He picked up the white porcelain spoon placed aside and couldn't wait to start it.

At the entrance, the feeling of spicy hot rushes to the forehead instantly. For October, who doesn't like spicy food, it is really a kind of hell and heaven enjoyment.The deliciousness of the meat in the red soup, the spiciness of the pepper, the spicyness of the sansho pepper, the mellow aroma of the watercress, and the sweetness of the sweet noodle sauce are well balanced together. Ice-cold cold water, but I don't want to open my mouth, I want to continue to eat, which makes people give up the happiness and satisfaction that can't be let go.

The tip of the tongue touches the smooth and tender tofu, and the teeth bite the food in the mouth.Um?October opened his eyes wide after taking the first bite, this Q bomb taste, is this ground meat?It turns out that the taste experience of the sixth taste is the impact and contrast brought by the tenderness of tofu and the crispy texture of ground meat?

When I suddenly tasted the mapo tofu dish in October, there were three other dishes in front of me, one fried rice with bacon, one egg custard, and one fish-flavored shredded pork.But Shiyue doesn't have the mind to care about the other three dishes now. He picked up the chopsticks on the table, swallowed the mapo tofu in his mouth, picked up a piece of ground meat from the dinner plate, and put it in his mouth alone. That's right, The Q bomb feeling just now is the feeling brought by ground meat.

Ground meat is actually made by frying minced meat. It is reasonable to say that ground meat can have a crispy taste, but it is impossible to achieve such a soft and tender feeling, and such a greasy dish should not be so greasy. One feels the feeling of heaviness, what exactly is neutralizing this feeling?

Shi Yue pinched off a small piece of ground meat, and half of the elastic ground meat jumped out a long way, and was swallowed by Mr. Kurosawa, and the other half showed texture that meat shouldn't exist under October's chopsticks.After the blessing of life, a little bit of eyesight attribute was added, reaching a full 7 o'clock in October, and I noticed something was wrong when I took a closer look. This "ground meat" was not ground meat.

"It seems that you have discovered it." A voice with a hearty smile came from Shiyue's ear, followed by a cup of herbal tea handed to her eyes.

Shi Yue, who was so hot that her cheeks were flushed, didn't even look at the person in front of her, took the herbal tea and drank it down.Although it is not enough to extinguish the heat brought by this dish, it is better than nothing,

Shi Yue raised her head, and only then did she see who the two people were sitting in front of her, the two super chefs from Sichuan Juxia, Liu Maoxing and Lan Feihong.It was Lan Feihong sitting on one side of the square table who handed her herbal tea to Shi Yue, while Liu Maoxing was sitting opposite and looked at him with a smile.

Shi Yue, who just suppressed the hot feeling with a cup of herbal tea, immediately blushed, so embarrassed that she was so embarrassed by the dishes in front of the two chefs.

Seeing Shiyue's dodging gaze, Liu Maoxing pushed the fried rice with bacon in front of him. "Let's eat some rice to suppress the spiciness first."

While thanking Shi Yue, he took the bacon fried rice, and tasted the difference at the first bite. The fried rice had a unique taste of sweet and sour.The spicy feeling brought by the mapo tofu red soup that made him feel a little bit overwhelmed immediately subsided a lot. At the same time, the sweet and sour taste made the bacon in the fried rice full of fragrance and delicious.

Glancing at the food in his hand, October discovered that there were some unique red crumbs in the rice. At first glance, he thought it was bacon crumbs. Now that he looked closely, the red crumbs were brighter and brighter than bacon, and they were dried. tomato?No, more like dried fruit.

"plum?"

"That's right, it's plums." Lan Feihong beside him replied flatly, picked up two teacups at the side, poured warm tea on it, and stuffed one cup into Liu Maoxing's hand, preventing him from eloquently. explained.

"Because in the back kitchen, the little boss heard you sneezing, so he guessed that you might not be used to eating spicy dishes, so he changed the dishes he made."

Just because he heard the sound of him sneezing, Shiyue turned to look at Liu Maoxing, who was obediently drinking tea and resting with a teacup.Although Lan Feihong said that it was Liu Maoxing's carefulness, but Shiyue didn't know why, if he hadn't also noticed that he was sneezing and was not used to spicy food, how could he have changed the dishes and understood Liu Maoxing's thoughts.

Such a caring person can bring satisfying dishes and at the same time bring a happy feeling of being taken care of by others, he thought, learning how to cook with these two people.Thinking of this, Shiyue clenched the chopsticks in her hand.

"Master Liu Maoxing, Master Lan Feihong, I want to learn cooking skills from you." Under the impact of the dishes, Shi Yue said these words so impulsively, even he himself was stunned after speaking , how should I put it, he was too impulsive, unlike the usual him.

"Okay." Unlike Shiyue who was dazed, Liu Maoxing and Lan Feihong who were asked seemed to be very calm. Lan Feihong just raised his eyes while drinking tea, but Liu Maoxing actually smiled and agreed.

"What?!!!" If you say that the most surprised about this apprenticeship is the chefs and logistics who are nestled at the door of the back kitchen and watching this scene.

Shocked by the screams of this group of people, Shi Yue hurriedly stood up. "Master Liu Maoxing, don't you really think about it? I'm already 18 years old. I'm a bit older. I've never learned how to cook seriously. I don't know the basics of cooking. I don't even know how to cook. Neither have ever seen.

Counting in detail in October, I realized that although I have been able to cook two or three gold-quality dishes, I don't think I have touched the threshold of a chef at all.

"What does that matter?" Liu Maoxing, who was sitting across from Shiyue, smiled. "Although I haven't known you for a long time, I have seen your care, your seriousness about ingredients, and your passion for cooking."

Lan Feihong picked up the teapot and filled Liu Maoxing with tea. "Age, knife skills, heat, knowledge, etc. are not difficult in front of the enthusiasm of cooking. I'm afraid you have mastered all but don't like him."

"Is it really possible?" Before Shi Yue's smile was fully revealed, the voices of the two people changed.

"However, we have a test for you." Instead of the friendly smile before, Liu Maoxing put on a serious expression on his face.

"Test..." It's not what October expected, of course there will be a test.

Liu Maoxing raised a finger. "We will give you one day. Tomorrow afternoon, we will wait for you here, prepare the ingredients you need, and cook a dish that you are good at. Ah Fei and I will consider how to teach you when the time comes."

Shi Yue nodded seriously, he naturally did not ignore the message in Liu Maoxing's words, tomorrow's dish will not be decided whether they will teach him cooking, but how to teach him, and his position in front of the two of them in the future What is it, is it an apprentice who is worth devoting himself to culinary teaching, or an ordinary apprentice who just brings him in.

According to the language loopholes in the system tasks, even if he is an apprentice, Shi Yue can get all the rewards, but of course he is not willing to be just an ordinary apprentice!

Shi Yue clenched his hands into fists, and his eyes were slow, never hot. "I will work hard to get your approval!"

"Then, let's work hard." Liu Maoxing encouraged him with a smile, and even Lan Feihong, who had always looked indifferent, slightly curled his lips and patted him on the shoulder, probably as an encouragement.

Excited, Shiyue bid farewell to everyone who went downstairs with Chrysanthemum, and went back to the Shiyue Pavilion with Mr. Kurosawa who was very satisfied after eating the custard.Excited, he naturally didn't notice the person who was secretly following him behind him. Mr. Kurosawa only glanced back, because he was not a dangerous person, and he didn't remind October.

October walked into the October Pavilion, as if disappearing out of thin air, which surprised the person who was secretly following behind.If Shi Yue looked back at this time, he would probably find that that person was the handyman from Juxia downstairs.

The handyman went back to Ju and went downstairs, and came to the courtyard where Liu Maoxing and Lan Feihong lived.The two were discussing something with the ingredients they found on the mountain, and they stopped together when they saw the handyman.

"Axiu, how are you doing?" Lan Feihong asked proactively.

Axiu, a boyish handyman with a girly name, rolled his eyes when Lan Feihong called him. "It's not that I want to disturb you at this time, it's because the matter of that brat is very important, so I can only come here immediately."

"I didn't say anything." Lan Feihong took a sip of tea calmly.

"You call me by my nickname! You know I don't like this name." Axiu jumped a little.

The kind Liu Maoxing could only stand up to dissuade him. "Let's talk about that child, how about it? Has the child's identity been found out?"

"Suddenly disappeared." Axiu's face darkened slightly. "He just disappeared in front of my eyes, but he didn't have any precautions. He doesn't look like a remnant of the dark culinary world. I suggest that it's better to reject him tomorrow."

"As long as you know that he is not from the dark culinary world, it's fine, Xiuyu." Compared to Axiu's cautiousness, Liu Maoxing didn't seem to care.

"Why are you so attached to that child?"

Liu Maoxing stroked his hair and smiled. "I always feel that the child at the dinner table had the same look in his eyes when he said he wanted to be a teacher. It was exactly the same as when I went to Yangquan Restaurant in Guangzhou to be a teacher. How should I put it, I have some nostalgia and emotion. Moreover, I saw his talent."

"There is no shortage of talented little ghosts." Axiu still wanted to persuade him a little bit unwillingly. You must know that most of the legendary kitchen utensils that the remnants of the dark culinary world want to seize are these two super chefs. Sealed and kept in hand.

"If you're so worried, just ask tomorrow if you're right. Just let him go." Lan Feihong said calmly, as if he didn't care about the nervousness of the apprentice and Axiu.

"Are you sure he will tell?" Axiu didn't think that a kid who could make a mysterious disappearance would tell her secret.

"He looks a bit stupid...simple." Ah Fei replied after a pause.

Are you trying to say stupid, stupid!
