Devil Class Cannon Fodder

Speaking of new cuisine and related matters, there is too much to say.

The physicists, chemists, and chefs who joined in this process were originally interested in the physical and chemical processes in the cooking process.After all, no matter what you do, it is best to be interested at the beginning, and Gu Qing is not saying that he is not interested, but this interest is not as pure as others, and there are some things mixed in it.

And compared to this new style of cuisine, Gu Qing is still more interested in breaking the three views of others.

Speaking of this, I have to say that Gu Qing invited a group of scientists to come and see what flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people—since Gu Qing became Zhou Guican, he did not use this parallel world unique Let go of the power system, and practice it as a martial arts mental method.

During the period, I also made a thorough understanding, and persisted for a long time. It is no longer the same as inserting willow branches into the door panel at the beginning.

During the first "inadvertent" demonstration with other scientists, Gu Qing "accidentally" tapped a pen so lightly that it slapped through the desk.

scientists:"???"

The reactions of the scientists are also interesting.

Of the group of scientists who came to Gu Qing's side, only a handful of them were shocked by this situation.

After looking at each other, more people realized that Gu Qing was a so-called food power awakener who could do such anti-scientific things.

Mind you, they've realized it's anti-science stuff, they just rarely dig into it.

And when Gu Qing raised his doubts about this, most of the scientists felt that people who had awakened food power would have such miraculous performances that everyone took it for granted, and everyone got used to not asking the bottom line.

Of course, this has continued to this day.

But not all scientists turn a deaf ear to it. In history, some sages have actually raised questions about this and wanted to get answers. However, their fate is usually worth pondering. Otherwise, I gave up seeking an answer, returned to the original field, and continued to be a former scholar, but I made little progress in this field, and some even chose to commit suicide and ended my life.

Gradually, as if a clear distinction was made, the gourmet world was separated from other fields.

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows for this, although it was the first time he had heard such a secret, he was not so surprised.Even under the rules of the world, food dominates and everything else has to give way, but it does not mean that there are no thinkers among human beings, otherwise how can human beings progress, but like other parallel worlds, when thinking progresses, it will always be made by blood. , pain, and thorns, etc., especially when other people are so ignorant and follow the trend, but when someone chooses to open their eyes, others usually choose, not to open their eyes, but to insist on being different from them. people knocked down.

Gu Qing understood very well.

So this time Gu Qing chose to save the country with a curve, combining science and food to avoid being beaten to death by the world's rules. Also, he took it slowly and did not take such big steps. In the end, at the initial stage, Gu Qing gave a little Point out the direction, plant the "seeds" of thinking, and everyone will take good care of them, and they will always thrive in the future.

Anyway, when the general public is not aware of it, some invisible changes have actually taken place in the academic world, but they can be felt by a small number of people. Although the changes are extremely small, they can illuminate the way forward and not It will be like a candle that will be extinguished at the slightest breeze.

In comparison, the new style of cuisine has developed rapidly.

Originally, because of the extraordinary status in the food industry, many related research disciplines have been derived.Now that Gu Qing has provided such a very specific direction, it is naturally more effective to study it.

This new style of gastronomy combines science and cooking, breaks the original barriers between star chefs and ordinary chefs, enables ordinary chefs to achieve the level of cooking that star chefs can achieve, and breaks the barriers of star chefs to a certain extent. "monopoly".

How to do this?On the one hand, it is to improve the ingredients themselves.

Gu Qing tried to further understand the principle of "food power", conduct scientific simulations, and then apply it to animal husbandry and planting to fundamentally cultivate high-quality food materials.

On the other hand, it is to make up for the difference between ordinary chefs and star chefs in terms of tools.

The fundamental mark that distinguishes humans from other animals is the ability to make and use tools.Many star chefs can use "food power" to do, in fact, they can use science to replace to a certain extent. Liver, for star chefs, they can use the "food power" to wrap the ingredients during the cooking process, which can ensure that the deliciousness of the ingredients is preserved to the greatest extent, and this can actually be done with tools, that is, low temperature and slow cooking. The cooking machine can also be called a low-temperature vacuum slow cooking machine.

Low temperature and slow cooking can ensure food is sealed, slow cooking in a water bath at a precise temperature, so as to keep food from being overcooked, and can also increase the tenderness and texture of meat, the bright color of vegetables and melons, the delicacy of fish and desserts Silky and refreshing.

It can also shorten the preparation time of ingredients that originally took days or more to prepare to hours or even days.

Similar tools include smoking guns, food dryers, ultrasonic mixers, etc.

Even MRI technology is applied to record the internal changes in the process of food being prepared.

There is also a comprehensive monitoring of the detailed changes in all aspects of the body after the food is eaten, and there are many sets of experiments to further judge the impact of emotions and the environment on people from a scientific perspective.In addition, related projects include flavor pairing, food decomposition, aroma release mechanism, taste perception and biological enzyme transformation, etc.

It can be said that this research center looks very grand, and those who don't know it may think that it is researching something extraordinary, but in fact it just combines the kitchen and the laboratory just right.

After being on the track, almost every once in a while, there will be a relatively systematic theory released, as well as the output of corresponding tools. For this reason, Gu Qing has specially added a corresponding branch under the Carroll Biotechnology Company. .

Of course, Gu Qing is definitely not a monopoly, because he is not only doing this by himself, but also has reached a cooperation intention with other relevant departments. In their view, Gu Qing is more like a research center supported by their capital injection , is a sharp edge that may break the inherent situation.

If they are unsuccessful, they don't actually have much to lose.

At the critical moment, they can also abandon this research center to abandon the pawns to save the car.

Regarding their mentality, Gu Qing is well aware that he has nothing to say, after all, he also maintains this kind of mentality of using him-the relevant departments regard him as a sharp knife, so why not Gu Qing use them as gunmen, and everyone uses each other , complement each other.

As for abandoning pawns to protect the car?Once you get on the thief's boat, it's not easy to go down like that.

Fortunately, the new style of cuisine has scratched their itch, and they spared no effort to promote it.

However, in a short period of time, even if it has not become a household name, it is not far behind. It is just that publicity alone is not enough, and further influence and penetration are needed.

In this regard, Gu Qing believes that the International Chef Competition to be held at the end of this year is a very good platform.

In the original plot, Zhou Guican was going to participate in this year's International Chef Competition.The original male protagonist is also Zhou Guican's younger brother with the same father and mother, and Ye Langning will also participate. This time, Ye Langning and Xu Weiwei will also start a love journey with ups and downs.

Now Gu Qing doesn't want to participate in person, but he can go with other identities, and before that, Gu Qing has other planned things to do, that is, let Zhou Ergeng go to revenge on Yue Zhennan.

Gu Qing thinks that many people would like to see Yue Zhennan, such a star chef with considerable influence in the food industry and even the world, become a big taint to criticize.

At that time, no matter how deep Yue Zhennan's roots are, he will not be able to stop the "random punches" coming from all directions.

Of course, Zhou Ergeng has the strength to take revenge, and he can turn the tables against the wind.

Fortunately, Zhou Ergeng recovered very well, and Gu Qing also helped to fuel the flames during the period. Now Zhou Ergeng has returned to his peak state, not to mention, he is even better.

Speaking of which, when Zhou Ergeng and Yue Zhennan competed back then, their overall strength seemed to be almost the same, but Yue Zhennan was actually inferior to Zhou Ergeng, and after 16 years, even if Yue Zhennan could still maintain his prime, he was still defeated by the A lot of miscellaneous things distracted him, but Zhou Ergeng couldn't take it lightly, especially when he still had a psychological barrier.

Even though Gu Qing knows Zhou Ergeng well, it doesn't mean he can control the direction exactly, right?

Anyway, I have to explain this to Zhou Ergeng first.

Zhou Ergeng is still living in the family courtyard attached to the research center, and he has gradually realized that his eldest son seems to have a high attainment in medicine, and has made certain achievements in other fields that Zhou Ergeng has basically never touched. Started a company, the company is still developing very well.

Zhou Ergeng felt that there was nothing wrong with this, although he still had a little regret in his heart.

And because Zhou Ergeng has no distractions to recover, he only occasionally hears "new style cuisine" while watching TV. Zhou Ergeng's attitude towards it is not much different from the general reaction in the food industry. Not all have been accumulated for hundreds of years or even more years, and they are all like giants. If such a new style of cuisine wants to gain a foothold, it must survive first, and it will not be wiped out by the big waves in a short time.

I don't know that in this new style of cuisine, "Zhou Guican" is like the founder of the mountain.

When Zhou Ergeng came to the research center to find his son, he was observing something with several researchers around a row of instruments. Zhou Ergeng glanced at the instrument several times, but he couldn’t name it. He just thought it was very powerful, so he subconsciously went to Moved aside.

Zhou Ergeng took another look, and suddenly felt that his son and those scientists were dressed like chefs?What's more, Zhou Ergeng's nose moved, and his keen sense of smell made him follow the smell and look straight at the laboratory in front of him, and then he saw the row of instruments that he didn't know what they were for, and made a "beep" sound There was a loud noise, and then a scientist wearing a lab coat that looked like a chef's uniform entered the laboratory and took out a bowl of salted meatballs.

Then my son and his colleagues discussed something with the row of instruments, saying that they wanted to change one of the data, so that the internal chemical reaction in the experimental product could reach its peak.

Zhou Ergeng: "???"

When he saw Gu Qing later, Zhou Ergeng said dryly: "Guican, what were you studying just now? Why do I look like pickled meatballs?"

Gu Qing said calmly: "It's just salted meatballs."

Zhou Ergeng: "???"

Zhou Ergeng: "Is it a salted meatball with great research value?"

"Well," Gu Qing said in a deep voice: "Using the first batch of new breed pigs released from our company's farms as the main ingredient is indeed of great research value. Oh, didn't I tell you before that I am very interested in the physical and chemical properties of the ingredients? Are you interested in chemical changes, that's what we're doing now."

Thinking of the white and clean laboratory before, Zhou Ergeng couldn't accept it: "It's just that you don't think this will make the food less humane?"

"Human touch?" Gu Qing said with a serious face: "Well, we have also studied how to make food stimulate diners' good memories. For example, when diners eat a bowl of rice, they can taste the rice made by their mother when they were young. If you want I know, I can explain the principle for you."

Zhou Ergeng: "... I think that when cooking, the chef should have feelings, not only for the ingredients, but also for the diners, instead of digitizing everything."

Gu Qing turned his head and looked over: "Do you think they are bloodless machines? They are also devoted to this project because of their love for science and food. You can't just because they are in the experiment Room, I think it’s cold here, if so, when you see the cooking robot, will you scream and pass out?”

Zhou Ergeng: "...What robot?"

Gu Qing comforted: "Don't worry, this cooking robot is really a concept, and it will take many years to fully realize it."

Zhou Ergeng didn't seem to be appeased, Gu Qing looked at it and changed the subject, talking about Zhou Ergeng's "comeback".

Zhou Ergeng was distracted, and Gu Qing continued to lead him away.

Gu Qing only said to get up from where he fell, and Zhou Ergeng simply thought that he only needed to make an appointment with Yue Zhennan, and defeated Yue Zhennan in an open and honest manner.Zhou Ergeng didn't have time to think about the rest, and he didn't have to think about it too much, it was all that Gu Qing needed to worry about.

Zhou Ergeng obeyed, and finally said to Gu Qing: "Gui Can, will you come back for dinner at night? Dad will cook you a meal, so you can make up for it."

Gu Qing agreed.

When it was time for dinner, Zhou Ergeng was no longer the one-armed person he was in the Zhou family, so this time the meals were very rich, but two of them had meatballs.There is a chicken skin shrimp ball soup and a lobster ball soup pot.The shrimp balls were made by Zhou Ergeng himself. The natural taste is fresh and the shrimp meat is crisp and tender.

Zhou Ergeng asked expectantly: "Can you feel the breath of the sea? Is it like swimming in the vast and endless sea, feeling comfortable and free?"

Gu Qing glanced at him: "I've never been to the beach, let alone in the sea, so I can't compare."

Zhou Ergeng: "..."

"Besides, the sea is very polluted nowadays, and some sea areas are overfished. Are you sure that this lobster is physically and mentally comfortable and free when it is in the sea?" Gu Qing put down the bowl of soup and filled a bowl of partridge for himself instead. Partridge porridge.Partridge porridge is actually meat instead of rice. Stew partridge soup, remove the meat and chop it into minced meat, steam it, mash it into mud, and then boil it with the original soup to make a soup. It looks like rice porridge, but in fact, a grain of rice No.

Zhou Ergeng: "..."

In the end, Zhou Ergeng could only say dryly: "Imagine, imagine."

Ugh.

Xiyue City

Half a month ago, Yue Zhennan had confirmed his promotion to be the president of Xiyue Food Association.Now that the former chairman has officially resigned, this matter has been officially announced to the public.

It can be said that Yue Zhennan is in good spirits on happy occasions. At the press conference, he delivered a promotion speech eloquently. He routinely reviewed the great achievements of the former president, and then looked forward to the future as the successor president. That is to say, After he takes office, he will lead the star chefs and ordinary chefs of Xiyue City to make more contributions to the gourmet world of Xiyue City and even the world.

During the interview stage, a reporter asked Yue Zhennan what he would like to say about the newly emerging new style of cuisine.

Yue Zhennan did not like the so-called new style of cuisine in his heart, but of course he would not say this directly, but said that the food industry is very inclusive, it can be said that it is inclusive of all rivers, so for new food genres like new style of cuisine , the gourmet industry will accept them one by one regardless of their origin.He also said that as the president of the Xiyue Food Association, he welcomes new cuisines to come to Xiyue City to be stationed in Xiyue City, and he can come to the Food Association to register at that time.

Although the words are euphemistic, the central idea is "it's just a new genre that anyone can create, and it's only under the jurisdiction of the Food Association in Xiyue City, so it's nothing special."

Another reporter mentioned that since Yue Zhennan defeated Zhou Ergeng, who was also a three-star chef at the time, more than [-] years ago, and then successfully promoted to a four-star chef, does Yue Zhennan have the idea of ​​becoming a five-star chef now?

Yue Zhennan said ashamedly that he didn't have it now, and said that it was a fluke that he defeated Zhou Ergeng back then, and he himself often regretted Zhou Ergeng's depression because of that match.Not only because Zhou Ergeng is his good friend, but also because the food industry has lost a talented chef.

Yue Zhennan looked very heartbroken, so a reporter deliberately flattered him by saying, "President Yue, don't need to be sad. Didn't you say that Zhou Ergeng has cheered up?"

Yue Zhennan became emotional and said: "Yeah, I was very excited and happy when I heard about this." He also said that he sincerely expected Zhou Ergeng to return to the ranks of star chefs as soon as possible. .

A reporter said: "It is said that wherever you fall, you will get up again. If Zhou Ergeng wants to challenge you, will you agree?"

Yue Zhennan said casually, "Of course."

Immediately, several reporters boasted: "You are really nostalgic."

Yue Zhennan didn't mind stepping on Zhou Ergeng to build his reputation.

As for Zhou Ergeng coming to challenge him, Yue Zhennan didn't take it seriously at all, even if Zhou Ergeng dared to do that, Yue Zhennan didn't mind stepping on him again.

What's more, Zhou Ergeng didn't have the guts at all, nor did he have the ability.

Next, the public opinion also praised him, as Yue Zhennan predicted, as the new president of the Xiyue Food Association. , also hold an inclusive attitude.

Furthermore, Zhou Ergeng, whose mentality collapsed in one match against his previous opponents and defeated players, has never given up on the opponent. For this reason, he does not mind putting down his body and accepting Zhou Ergeng's challenge, just to inspire the opponent.

wait wait wait.

Especially in Xiyue City, the media almost set Yue Zhennan up to the height of a saint, and the praise was said as if he didn't want money.

In order to further praise Gao Yue Zhennan, he spent a lot of space describing Zhou Ergeng, his glory in the past, and his fall.

Some media even went out of their way to say that Zhou Ergeng, as long as he still has the dignity of a star chef, he should not mistreat Yue Zhennan's kindness, dare to stand up, and get up from where he fell.

Such overwhelming publicity caused almost no one in Xiyue City to know the origin of Yue Zhennan and Zhou Ergeng.There are also those good people who follow the public opinion and call on Zhou Ergeng to show up, stop acting like a shrinking turtle, it's time to show your personality!

Apparently, Yue Zhennan was full of flowers, and the applause almost drowned him; Zhou Ergeng was cooking oil in a raging fire, and he was driven up and roasted on the fire.

Even Ye Wanqiu, who was far away across the ocean, knew about this.She also saw that Zhou Ergeng's current situation was very bad. After all, she still couldn't bear it, so she rarely took the initiative to call Yue Zhennan overseas.

Yue Zhennan couldn't tell how much he liked Ye Wanqiu, but the more he couldn't get it, the more he missed it. Seeing Ye Wanqiu's initiative to call, he was elated before answering the phone, but when he heard Ye Wanqiu tell him not to force Zhou Ergeng anymore, Yue Zhennan suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his face.

Then, an evil fire rose in Yue Zhennan's heart, "When did I persecute him? If Zhou Ergeng has the guts, he should have stood up long ago."

After hanging up Ye Wanqiu's phone call, Yue Zhennan thought about it more and more, and the more he felt uncomfortable, he wanted Zhou Ergeng to show up at this time, so that he could be trampled in the mud again!

It's just that Yue Zhennan knew that Zhou Ergeng was not in Xiyue City at all at this time, but Zhou Ergeng was not in Xiyue City, but he couldn't force him to come back.

Thinking of this, Yue Zhennan sneered.

Zhou Ergeng and his son left Xiyue City, but their old house is still there. It was passed down by the Zhou family from their ancestors, and Zhou Ergeng will not leave it alone.

Yue Zhennan made a phone call and soon got the news he wanted.

Then Zhou Ergeng returned to Xiyue City, and was surrounded by reporters who rushed over after hearing the news at the airport.

Zhou Ergeng and others didn't say anything, but the reporters didn't care what he said, they just took him as a promise, and Yue Zhennan didn't give Zhou Ergeng a chance to repent. .

So Yue Zhennan quickly came out to express that he was willing to accept Zhou Ergeng's challenge, and said in a big way that the Xiyue Food Association would organize the competition well, leaving Zhou Ergeng to just wait for the preparations.

Zhou Ergeng: "......??"

Zhou Ergeng was in a daze the whole time, he didn't understand, shouldn't he take the initiative to challenge Yue Zhennan, why didn't he do anything, everyone knew that they both challenged Yue Zhennan again?

But looking at the results now, it seems that there is no difference, so Zhou Ergeng didn't go into it.

Gu Qing also returned to Xiyue City this time, but he was not exposed to others.At the airport, he was picked up by a car sent by Weng Shenyan, the mayor of Xiyue City, and then had a light meal with Weng Shenyan.

After the meal, we talked a little bit about Carroll Biotechnology Company, the future development prospects of the branch in Xiyue City, and a few words about new cuisine. As for the match between Yue Zhennan and Zhou Ergeng, they didn't mention anything from the beginning to the end. .

This is mainly because it has been said before.

Then Weng Shenyan said that Mayor Weng sent Gu Qing to the door, and the two looked at each other, everything was kept silent.

Gu Qing got into the car, and Yue Zhennan looked like flowers blooming now, but in fact, there was a raging fire cooking oil underneath—the higher he stood now, the worse he would fall in the future.

Poor Yue Zhennan is still not aware of it now, on the contrary, he is still doing his best to set up the stage for the decisive battle between him and Zhou Ergeng.

Let's talk about Mayor Weng Shenyan. He is the mayor of Xiyue City, and he is often hindered by the Food Association. In addition, standing behind his political opponent is Yue Zhennan.

What's more, the sudden collapse of Yue Zhennan is also very happy to hear and see.

That's why this matter was so lively from the beginning to the end, but it really echoed the saying: Everyone gathers firewood to make a flame go high.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Yue Zhennan's own disposition, Gu Qing has thought about it, he even knew that Ye Wanqiu called Yue Zhennan.

The car was driving smoothly, Gu Qing's face was reflected on the window glass.More than two years have passed, and he is still as thin as when he left Xiyue City, and when he lowered his eyes, he showed a little more elegance and calmness.

After a while, Gu Qing came back to his senses and took out a notebook from his pocket.The notebook looked a bit old, and when I opened it, the handwriting inside was not neat, and there were a few photos inside.Those few photos were taken of the walls, and the old walls were filled with densely packed characters written with chalk or oil-based pens, or even unclear what kind of paint it was.

There is also a corner of a photo that exposes a part of a newspaper. The newspaper has turned yellow, and the focus of the photo is not it, so if you just look at it with the naked eye, you can't see clearly the exposed part of the newspaper. what was written.

This notebook has been with Gu Qing for two days. After looking at it a few more times, Gu Qing keeps it with him and takes it out to read from time to time.
