Fuyuki Canteen

A clash of chefs.

Si Yingshi stood in front of the chopping board in the kitchen and made dessert silently.

His fingers ran gently over the low-gluten flour, icing sugar, butter, baking powder, and a whole beaten egg, mixing them together in the metal basin.He is clearly doing a job that requires a lot of strength, but his face is very calm and freehand. The drooping snow-white eyelashes and the lavender-gray eyes below have a sense of warmth, as if sitting on the lawn and trees in spring. The look of a pleasant outing in the shade.

Long time no dessert.

Si Yingshi thought of Akakubomomo, one of the ten best desserts in his class, and smiled helplessly.

The petite girl who is at the same level as him is very good at making exquisite and delicious creative desserts. Xiaotao almost takes all of Shijie's desserts. Si is better at French dishes. It seems a long time ago that he made desserts himself. something happened.

The soft dough under his hand became better and better to the touch. Si Yingshi was in a good mood making this dessert, but was interrupted by the junior next door to focus on the ingredients.

"Senior Si!" The red-haired junior looked at him eagerly, his bright golden pupils, which were very similar in color to Kobayashi Gendan, were filled with bright divine light, "Why don't we have a halberd feast?"

...Hey, as expected of Soshin-kun.Trouble beyond imagination.

Because of the performance of his junior, Si Yingshi's negative side came out again.Few people understand that Si Yingshi, as the former first seat of Yuanyue Academy, actually doesn't like the system of eating halberds, because there are always people challenging him, although he will win, but it is very troublesome.Of course, the first seat is also for the management affairs of the academy. Si, who hates being exposed to the public, even feels that the pressure has disappeared the moment he stepped down from the first seat. It is very refreshing——

However, if the person who made the invitation in front of him was Xing Ping Chuangzhen, who had defeated himself with Erina in the alliance food halberd, Si Yingshi still had a lot of interest.

The arrogance and arrogance that belonged to the "White Knight" showed up under the most straightforward provocation of the junior. For the first time, Si Yingshi raised his light-colored eyes during the cooking process, looked at the smiling junior, and said softly asked:

"How to compare?"

The main purpose of the current kitchen is to serve customers, and there is not much room for display under the designated dishes.

But since Mr. Chuangzhen spoke like this, he should have found a way.

"As expected of Senior Si, he is so decisive." The red-haired junior standing in front of the stew pot stretched out his thumbs to compare, and grinned happily, "Senior Si is making milk fritters at table 05 right now? I The hot and spicy beef strips at table 12 are being made here, and they have just started, why don't you make them faster?"

It turned out to be the case.

The current conditions can only support such a simple eating halberd. Presumably, Chuangzhen Jun, who likes eating halberds, has already had itchy hands, and finally caught a glimpse of an opportunity for a competition.

These two dishes are snacks, and the process time to make them is similar, which means that the two are on the same starting line.

However, will such a food halberd really help the cooking level?

With such doubts in mind, Si Yingshi still sighed helplessly in his heart, and agreed to Xingping Chuangzhen.

The culinary talents of this junior do not overlap with his very much, but the two have a tacit understanding in cooking and helping the kitchen.In the past, when the central gourmet institution was very popular in Yuanyue Academy, Xingping Chuangzhen worked as a cooking assistant for Si Yingshi in the middle of the course.

Just for that one experience, Si Yingshi is still very impressed.

There is no other reason, but the experience is too comfortable.The two people's ideas on cooking are relatively compatible-you must know that there are many students who study French cuisine intensively. Although there are no top ten, they are better than Xingping who only studied French cuisine in Shinomiya's restaurant for a few days. There are many, but none of them can bring such a smooth cooking experience to Si Yingshi himself.No matter how you think about it, this kind of reason can only be attributed to the mysterious fate and tacit understanding.

This is also the reason why Si Yingshi, who has graduated and studied cooking all over the world, accepted the invitation of Totsuki's current head coach Erina during his short return to Japan.

It is possible to participate in the process of this field study, but the only requirement is to be a partner with Xinghei Chuangzhen.

"Have you not given up on the idea of ​​wanting that guy to be your assistant cook?" the junior who had served as the tenth seat under him asked in amazement. The request really felt a bit of shock, "It won't work. That guy likes his cooking more than anyone else."

That's right.After all, chefs are a group of people who are more self-centered than anyone else.

This sentence is applicable to both Xing Ping Chuangzhen and Si Yingshi himself, because they are all chefs with too strong personal style.

"That's not the case. I understood this from the first time I ate a halberd with Mr. Chuangzhen." Si Yingshi said frankly, "His personal style in cooking is too prominent, and it's very easy to keep him around. Worried about being backlashed... This time I just want to see how much progress he has made when he defeated me and Gendan together with you."

So Erina agreed, and Xingping Chuangzhen, who received the news, was as familiar as he was back then, and Si didn't feel any extra sense of social alienation or trouble—except when he persistently raised the food halberd on the road.

This is how Si Yingshi and Xingping Chuangzhen appeared together in Homestay.

Si had never heard of this store before, and it was said that Xingping Chuangzhen used the privilege of the first seat to report the designated study place by himself, so Si came with him, and he was not particularly worried about it being too commonplace.

Because his philosophy is not as extreme as that of the former head coach, it is even more reversed after the alliance with Xingping and the others.

The storefront Xingping found unexpectedly brought Si a strong sense of surprise.

Whether it is the superb cooking level of the little-known chef Wei Gong, or the long-lost sense of fluency when he and Xingping cooperated again in the kitchen, they all brought surprises to Si Yingshi.

So, now let me see how much your strength has improved, Mr. Chuangzhen.

When Si Yingshi rolled the dough that had been sitting for a while into thin slices, cut them into small pieces and rolled them into strips, and put them in the oven, he thought casually.

At this time, Xing Ping Chuangzhen was boiling the beef shoulder meat after water, with fragrant leaves, star anise and other spices and water, and poured soy sauce and a little sea salt.The ratio of spices seems to be a special calculation. Although it is only a semi-finished product, it smells very strong and appetizing.

Si Yingshi calculated the time and cut the marshmallows into small pieces that are easy to stir-fry, and then took the baked fudge strips out of the oven. After cooling down slightly, he broke open one to verify the crispness and fluffiness Did it meet expectations.

Well, it's perfect.

The Secretary crushed the Futiao into irregular but basically the same size pieces, and then slightly toasted the previously peeled almonds, pumpkin seeds and a small amount of almonds to let them emit a unique aroma of nuts.

At this time, Xingping had already fished out the whole piece of stewed beef from the pot, drained it and cut it into strips of similar size quickly and neatly, and then began to heat the bottom oil.

Did you choose butter?

Si Yingshi glanced over there, then calmly heated the pan, put in a small piece of butter to melt slightly, poured in the small pieces of marshmallows that had been cut before, and stir-fried.The inside of the pot suddenly turned into a melted white paste, but there was a special sweet aroma, which combined with the milder aroma of the beef, it was not unpleasant, but harmonious.

Without changing his face, Si Yingshi sprinkled dried cranberries, raisins and the previous nut gaff strips into the melted marshmallow and butter mixture, and stir-fried.

Xingping has added chives, celery, carrot sticks and other spices to the base oil during this process. After flavoring the butter, remove the excess ingredients and filter them, then add pepper and white sesame , chili and other spices stir-fry, the smell suddenly becomes spicy and strong.

It is also close to the practice of Sichuan cuisine in Chinese cuisine.

And Shi Yingshi, who specializes in Sichuan cuisine, Jiu Wozhaoji, who has eaten halberds many times, knows this, and can judge the taste of most ingredients with his nose.

Xingping has already begun to speed up. He scooped up the strips of beef that had been fried in oil until the surface was blistered with a metal slotted spoon, and put them into the pan to stir-fry. The aroma of beef and spicy oil was immediately intertwined perfectly, overwhelmingly filling the air. Air throughout the kitchen.

Si Yingshi was not in a hurry, and also accelerated the process of his subordinates. After pouring the mixture in the pot into the box to cool and set it, he slowly poured it out and cut the cuboid mixture.

These bar-shaped desserts are milk puddings.

The cut sides are colorful, the bright red of cranberries, the yellow-green of raisins, the light yellow of fronds, the dark brown and milky white of nuts and the milky white nougat are mixed together, creating a harmonious beauty.

While Si Yingshi was arranging the dishes, Xingping also finished the finished spicy beef strips and ran over excitedly.

After Si Yingshi finished looking at the clock, he said with a little regret:

"It's a tie, Mr. Chuangzhen."

"It's a tie, Senior Si!"

The voices of two people sounded at the same time, intertwined.

What a pity, I thought I could polish Soshin-kun's spirit.It seems that he has really improved recently, and the cooking time is well controlled.

In the past, he always waited until the end to serve the food.The food halberd is really good for the growth of chefs like Chuang Zhenjun.

Si Yingshi saw the same regretful expression on the face of Xing Ping Chuangzhen on the opposite side, knowing that the other party also had this idea, he couldn't help but smiled helplessly because he loved Xia Keshang's junior, and pushed the extra part of the plate to the red In front of the young man, he turned his head and said to the white-haired and brown-skinned chef who was standing in front of the saucepan:

"Let's have a taste, Mr. Chuangzhen. And Mr. Wei Gong."

"Here too!"

Xing Ping Chuangzheng smiled vigorously, and also rolled out a small plate of beef strips besides the part for seeing off guests.
