Chapter 45 [Inverted V]
Been back for a week.
Erina also didn't talk to herself for a full week.
Qianyun resigned from his job at the hotel, and Manager Nakajima was really screaming while hugging his thigh. Not only him, but other diners also came to the door in turn—not begging himself not to leave the hotel, but sincerity hired her to work elsewhere.
However, it is not a good thing to have no financial resources. After discussing with the old man Nakiri, Qianyun officially became the private chef of the Nakiri family. By the way, he has a post as an honorary teacher of Yuanyue Tea Lao Food Science Park. It is estimated that in the future More or less, I will perform my duties several times.
But now...
Cheng Yang was laying in the sun and spread into a ball, it was the first time that the young lady had ignored her for countless times.
Qian Yun also stared at the sunshine outside the window with a full face, Erina didn't want to talk to herself at all, no matter how many "coincidences" she ran into, Erina pretended not to see it at all, and directly ignored herself.
No matter how many times Erina ignored Cheng Yang, she ignored herself.
Even though he came back to this world and met Erina unpreparedly, when Erina didn't see him, although he felt a little uncomfortable, he was more relieved.
At that time, even if Erina planned to listen to what she had to say very carefully, she almost didn't know where to start, and the final result would definitely be a bad breakup.
But in the next few times, Erina began to ignore herself more and more——
Thanks to this incident, I have come a step closer to the practice of righteousness, and it is not easy to continue to practice concentration under the premise of having something that cannot be ignored.In the past few days being ignored by Erina, Qianyun could only force himself to focus on justice.The speed of progress surprised her a little.
Cheng Yang seemed to have had enough of the sun, so he flew up wobbly, changed his posture, and lay in front of Qianyun's clothes, with his wings slightly spread, and his whole body curled up slightly, it looked like a furry decoration designed in the shape of a bee Same.
Cheng Yang's sensitivity to time is absolutely inconceivable, as soon as she moved like this, Qian Yun knew that she was going to prepare dinner instead.
Became the private chef of the Nakiri family. Although Mr. Nakiri said that it is enough to treat it as a job, but Qianyun didn't take it seriously. Erina cooks more.
I don't know if Erina will have a tendency to reconcile with her.
However, when Qianyun came to the kitchen this time, he found that there were already two people standing there, a girl and a boy. Looking from the side, he could see that the girl's appearance was different from that of people from this country, and she did not seem to be from this country. , but at the second glance, Qianyun found that the girl seemed to be a little bit similar to Erina.
"Ah, hello." The girl who was talking to the boy excitedly found Qianyun, turned her head and smiled slightly at Qianyun: "I heard that grandpa hired a private chef, so I came over here out of curiosity. What kind of person is able to become the chef of the Nakiri family."
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Alice Nakiri, and this is Ryo Kurokiba—Ryo-kun! Don't be so rude, hurry up and say hello!"
"Hello."
Kurokiba Ryo greeted casually, but did not let Alice let him go, and patted his back with his slender and tender palm in dissatisfaction: "Really, Ryo-kun is so rude, doesn't it mean that I am so rude? Master is also super useless—”
"It hurts, miss."
Seeing the way the two of them got along, Qianyun raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "I've been here for so long, and I didn't know there was such a beautiful little girl in the Nakiri family. It's really a pity. Seeing you a little bit, I can probably understand you a little bit more."
"Oh..." Alice's cheeks flushed slightly, the chef's mouth is so sweet.
"I don't usually live in Japan, and I only come back here occasionally when I'm on vacation. This time I heard about Miss Chef, so I came here specially!"
Alice looked at Qianyun, her eyes brightened slightly: "So, I took some time out of my super busy schedule to come back here, just for Miss Chef..."
She jumped out word by word, as if expecting what Qian Yun would say.Qianyun only thought for a moment, and understood what this little girl was thinking. Although she didn't know whether her guess was accurate, she still said it: "In this case, Miss Alice, you can order today's menu. You can order whatever you want. Tell me what you like."
"Oye(^o^)/!"
Alice happily raised her arms and spun around on the spot, then smiled and reported a long list of dish names, and added dizzyingly many conditions.
Qianyun didn't respond, but after Alice finished speaking, she looked at the boy who had been silent all this time: "Is there nothing Kurokiba-kun wants to eat?"
Seemingly surprised that he even asked himself, Kurokiba Ryo thought for a moment, raised his finger, and pointed at the lobster in the kitchen: "This."
"I see, there is still a lot of time to wait before dinner, just ask the two of you to act freely before then."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Alice was in a better mood, humming an out-of-key tune with Ryo Kurokiba, and her naughty voice echoed in the slightly empty corridor: "Okay, what's next? How about doing something to pass the time? I would have added a time limit to her if I knew it earlier, so I would be super free here waiting for her to prepare dinner."
"Well, if Miss is okay, I want to try a new dish..."
"No way!" Alice turned her head and said with a smile, "Mr. Liang has to play with me!"
"Ha..." Forced by the wayward lady to relax together, Kurokiba Ryo is also used to this kind of treatment, and silently followed behind Alice. Anyway, there will be a cooking showdown at the end, so it won't be a disadvantage... …
"Alice?"
"Ah, Gui'an, Erina." Alice saw the cousin sister: "It's so strange, did you just come back from Yuanyue? What kind of courses will keep you busy until this time?"
"It's just that I forgot the time when I was cooking." Erina replied flatly, avoiding Alice's probing eyes for a while, and asked instead: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, but when I returned to Japan suddenly, what happened?" what?"
Alice leaned against the corner of her mouth. She knew that there must be something wrong with her cousin, how could she ask about it?
While thinking, she replied: "I heard that the family even hired a chef, and they just came here to taste the other's cooking skills. By the way, they want to make trouble for others."
"Trouble?" Erina frowned, but quickly let go: "Don't be too messy... Forget it, anyway, she shouldn't be caught by any troubles, after all, it's her..."
Erina's last words were terribly light, Alice pricked up her ears but didn't hear a little bit, she could only puff her mouth, as before, said a few words of sarcasm to Erina and then stopped talking to her.
"Miss, are you really embarrassing that chef?" Kurokiba Ryo opened his mouth and asked after they had left Erina for a while, "Although I don't know her name, a chef who can be hired by the commander-in-chief...even Miss Difficult, it should be of no use."
"Of course I know that!" Alice continued without turning her head, "I just want to confirm with my own eyes whether she is qualified to be the chef of my Nakiri family."
Although Ryo Kurokiba couldn't see Alice's gaze, but it must be an expression that fits the blood of the Nakiri family's demon kings.
But just as Erina muttered to himself and Kurokiba guessed, Qianyun really didn't pay attention to the little test Alice gave him.The only thing she was worried about now was that little girl Alice asked for so much, but including her, plus Alice and Kurokiba-kun, there were only five people eating.
The final ownership of a table of things...
It must be my stomach.
Gourmet cells will keep the body in the best condition. It is absolutely impossible to gain weight. Excess calories will only be stored in the cells of the body and released instantly when needed.
But eating so much, the female instinct is screaming.
Qianyun started to make preparations before cooking. No one would stop her, but the speed in Qianyun's hands was definitely no less than that of a kitchen with four or five helpers. She recalled Alice's long list of dish names in her heart, and put all the dishes together. All the required ingredients are cleaned, and then cut into the desired shape.
The specific menu proposed by Alice is not difficult to complete, but what makes Qianyun a little worried is the menu that the boy, Kurokiba, ordered.
a lobster.
In the gourmet era, the most famous lobster should be the giant pincer lobster with a catch level of over 60.
There has been definite evidence that this lobster can be up to two meters long and weigh more than one ton.All the nutrients are gathered in two pincers that cover two-thirds of the body. The huge pincers of the giant pincer lobster are enough to split an armored vehicle in half like a plastic toy.Although the movement is slow on land, it is absolutely impossible for human beings to catch up with the speed of the giant pincer lobster in the water unless they rely on scientific equipment.
The meat of the giant pincer lobster is very sweet. The shrimp meat protected by the hard shell has great elasticity and soft taste. It doesn't even need to be cooked too complicated. As long as it is steamed or grilled over high heat, it is so delicious that it can almost be eaten. Tongue also swallowed.
But the lobster here... tastes equally delicious, but what is missing? It needs to be blended with other seasonings and ingredients, otherwise it will not be able to reach the taste in Qian Yun's heart.
The key is what kind of food to cook.
Qian Yun spun around the ingredients and seasonings in the kitchen, and suddenly saw something, a look of joy flashed across her brows, and she continued to work.
Keep the deliciousness of the lobster itself to the greatest extent, and then add more flavor and flavor, that is to say, let the ingredients be cooked to maximize their delicacy.The seasoning and other matching ingredients should not be too many, otherwise the taste will be scattered and cannot be reconciled, and at most three or four will become the limit.
It is not easy to find the one that can be perfectly blended with lobster among these three or four seasoning ingredients.
But Qianyun hardly hesitated.
Certain ingredients and seasonings in the kitchen seemed to be shining brightly, telling her silently.
***
"Grandpa, long time no see!" Alice rushed to Grandpa's side: "Really, I also come to Denmark to visit me once in a while! Also, why didn't you tell me about the new chef at home? I heard it from someone else's mouth, and my father was super surprised when he heard me say it, what is the background of that chef?"
"...It just looks pretty."
Alice muttered.
"That chef's name is Qianyun, she came to my house to be a chef..." Nakiri Senzaemon glanced at Erina who was thinking about something with her head down, thinking about the recent relationship between the two, sighed in his heart After taking a deep breath, he continued to say to Alice: "There are many reasons."
Alice puffed up her cheeks, what, what is the difference between this and not saying?
Instead, Kurokiba Ryo didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said: "Qianyun... Could it be the chef who recently resigned and caused countless hotels to offer super luxurious treatment?"
"Hey, Mr. Liang will also pay attention to these news? It's really strange." Alice glanced at him in confusion: "What's the background of that Chef Qianyun?"
Miss, don't you yourself never pay attention to these news?
Kurokiba Ryo didn't say this, but just said what he knew: "She is a very powerful chef. I heard that in order to invite her, some restaurants not only said that she was the chef, but even offered The treatment of giving up the shares of the hotel."
"Wow, that's really amazing." Alice was also surprised at the right time. This kind of treatment is really amazing, unless the chef himself has a relationship with the upper echelon of the restaurant, or is the owner and part-time chef, otherwise It is absolutely impossible.
It seems that he really has a little skill.
Uncharacteristically, Erina didn't say anything. Isn't her cousin the one who loves to express her views and opinions on cooking?Alice stared at Erina who was not quite right, and was about to ask, when she was interrupted by a servant who was carrying delicious food.
Dishes of excellent quality were placed on the table one after another, and Alice looked at these in surprise, her hands holding the chopsticks were a little out of control.
I want to eat it……
The thought in the brain stimulated the stomach, and it made a slightly indecent grunt.
Alice covered her face in embarrassment, and could only look at Ryo Kurokiba - the other party was also staring at the dishes in front of her without moving, and as long as Ryo-kun made a move, she would immediately interrupt him!
But Ryo Kurokiba obviously didn't intend to strike first, but stared at the door of the restaurant with scorching eyes.
These were Miss Alice's orders, and his had not yet been served.
It is not easy to cook seafood well. Just like sheep has a smell of mutton, most ingredients in seafood will have an unpleasant taste.Even if some ingredients are not prepared well in advance, there will be mud and sand mixed in them, and the whole dish will fail in an instant because of this.
Several dishes came in one after another, and it was dazzling to put on the table. Qian Yun personally brought a dish with a slightly irritating smell to the table.
Turns out it used chili peppers.
After Kurokiba Ryoko took a look, he knew the chef's idea: to use chili to add a richer taste to the lobster, which is full of seafood but somewhat monotonous, but I don't know if she used other seasonings after that, so I can't judge A true taste of this dish.
"Using spicy flavor to cook lobster? It seems that the shell is not removed. If the hard lobster shell is directly separated, will the spicy taste penetrate into the meat?" Alice stared at her lobster and muttered, rather Some puzzled.
"I remember a famous Chinese dish across the sea, which uses small lobsters with spicy stir-fry, but can this kind of large lobsters be cooked in the same way?" Nakiri Senzaemon also felt a little unbelievable, with a huge body The lobster means the cooking time is longer, but it is impossible for Qianyun not to know this kind of thing, so is there any step that he didn't guess.
"Please pick up the spoon and gently press it on the lobster's claws or other parts except the head, and then eat it."
As Qianyun said, her eyes drifted to Erina. This is a dish that she has been improving continuously in the cooking process, and even changed the cooking method a few times. In this dish, there is something she wants someone to tell Erina.
"With a spoon?"
Ryo Kurokiba picked up the spoon, even if he pressed it down, it wouldn't make any difference, could it be that the hard lobster shell is like crisp potato chips, it will shatter when touched——
When the spoon was pressed lightly, the lobster's shell made a slight sound, and the hard surface was instantly covered with cracks like spider web patterns. The spoon continued to press hard, and the lobster's shell could no longer withstand the huge pressure, and it was exposed. Yes, it looks like a sparkling crystal, and it seems to be shaking the jelly-like lobster meat slightly.
"This is……"
What is the method used to make the lobster like this? !
"Please enjoy this dish I have carefully prepared."
Qian Yun stood in place and said.
To say that it was carefully prepared by Qianyun is to waste Qianyun's hard work in the kitchen.Not only meticulous, she was about to cook her own heart together.
Qian Yun prepared five lobsters. Naturally, no one in the room got a share. After everyone knocked open the fragile lobster shells with a spoon, the meat inside was crystal clear. As soon as Qian Yun finished speaking, everyone's movements were almost the same. of.They raised their spoons and dug into the plump shrimp meat like digging into jelly.
However, although the spoon was easily inserted into the shrimp meat like a fork, when they brought it up, the shrimp meat was not cut off, but directly slipped out of the shrimp shell together with other large pieces of meat, and the shrimp meat shook The transparent juice fills the whole room with the unique delicious taste of lobster.
"At the same time, it has the characteristics of toughness and softness. The shrimp shakes as if it is still alive. When you smell it carefully, there is a hint of spicy smell that irritates the nasal cavity. Is it because the lobster has a little taste when it is cooked? ?”
After Nakiri Senzaemon carefully observed the lobster, his inner evaluation of Qianyun went up a notch. What kind of techniques and standards are used to make the lobster like this? No wonder outsiders, even To divide the shares, and hope that Qianyun can go to them to take the position of chef, the eyes of those businessmen are still as sharp as ever.
"good to eat--"
While Nakiri Senzaemon was giving a long speech, Alice had already stuffed the shrimp meat into her mouth in one bite.
Shouted uncontrollably, although the appearance looks very light, but the sensitive tongue can experience several different tastes, the lobster itself is delicious and sweet, and the stimulation of the chili pepper makes people constantly crave The lobster itself has a strong mellow aroma, as if...
"Is it wine?"
Alice looked at Erina with some uncertainty: "Erina, have you eaten it yet?"
"Well, chili, wine, black pepper, and seasoning made of honey. That's it."
"So simple?!" Alice screamed in disbelief, she thought that there were at least dozens of spices to form such a sweet and rich and varied taste!
"I have considered whether to add more seasonings, but that will not be the most delicious way to taste this dish." Qian Yun explained from the side.
"What is the most delicious way to taste lobster? Other seasonings should be used to set off the lobster, not to overwhelm the lobster and make the lobster lose its proper status, even if it is not a bit. Every ingredient has its own The most perfect way to cook it, and that's the best way to cook lobster that I can find right now."
When Qian Yun was cooking lobster, her senses were almost unfolded to the maximum. The amount of seasonings and the order of adding them were all determined after constant deliberation.A finished product that wasted several lobsters.
I will try my best to make the most delicious dishes with the ingredients of this world in the way of this world.
Qianyun conveyed such a meaning in the eyes that looked at Erina.
"That, that—what's the matter with this lobster shell? Why is it so brittle?"
Alice immediately asked again, Qianyun smiled, and looked away from Erina: "I saw liquid nitrogen in the kitchen, so I used it."
