Chapter 159: The Trial with Erina (Part 2)
Qi Nan and a middle-aged chef stood at the table.
The middle-aged chef pointed to one of the Chinese soup and said, "Miss Nakiri, this is the new dish I have recently developed. Please help me see what are the shortcomings."
In front of outsiders, Erina Nakiri was full of queen style, and she used a spoon and bowl to elegantly put some clear fish soup out. After taking a sip, she closed her eyes and sat on the chair. The atmosphere in the small hall fell into silence for a moment.
Xia Yu came back quietly, and the middle-aged chef just glanced at him.
"Fish head soup?" Erina Nakiri opened her eyes, "In addition to fish head, are there other staple ingredients for creating umami flavor?"
"Yes, this is actually Jiuxian Soup, Miss Nakiri, please try it carefully."
The middle-aged chef seems to have an ordinary appearance, but in fact he has a bright look and strong spirit. His eyebrows are full of confidence in his works.
"No."
Erina Nakiri said lightly, glanced at Natsuyu who was sitting opposite him, "You can try it too."
She probably didn't even notice her tone and relaxed.
Noting this detail, the manager of Dan Feilou Qi Nan and the middle-aged chef were both surprised to see Xia Yu heresy.
Qi Nan took the initiative to introduce: "Chef Xia, this chef Shen He is the chef of our Danfei Building. He was an apprentice at Yangquan Restaurant in Guangzhou at the age of twelve. He became a skilled person at the age of 20. He worked hard with our chairman. It has been the 25th year since then."
The elders of the hotel!
More importantly, he was once an apprentice at Yangquan Restaurant!
Xia Yu was solemnly respectful. Being able to be an apprentice at Yangquan Restaurant for eight years is enough to prove his extraordinary chef talent.
Seeing Xia Yu looking at him, Director Shen nodded to him and smiled, "Try it."
He brought another clean porcelain bowl, Xia Yu stood up, and spooned it in a basin filled with fresh fish soup. As the soup rippled, a few fine shredded seaweed streaks floated up at the bottom of the basin.
"broth?"
I didn't see the fish head or other seafood ingredients, but the rich umami smell came to my face. Xia Yu couldn't help but sniff it deep, and it seemed that he could hear the sound of waves in his ears.
After serving the soup, Xia Yu couldn't wait to drink a small sip.
In an instant, nine ingredients used to make seafood soup seemed to float past.
He had no ‘Divine tongue’, so he could only roughly identify a few of them, murmured: “The fish heads of salmon, shrimps, oysters, king crabs, big clams…”
"Then what?"
Xia Yu frowned and almost called the names of several other ingredients. The feeling of fog in front of him made him very upset.
Erina Nakiri was about to answer the conversation and told him other ingredients. Unexpectedly, Xia Yu turned on the mental strengthening state and took another sip of the soup. This time she didn't breathe and said:
"Seaweed, wakame, stone cabbage, sea fungus..."
"Four kinds of marine vegetables and five kinds of marine fresh food!" Xia Yu exclaimed, "They are all melted into this pot of soup!"
Turning off the mental strengthening state, Xia Yu's aftertaste of the taste buds just strengthened and he tasted the seafood soup, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Is this the specialty of a five-star chef?
Looking at the clear seafood soup in a daze, Xia Yu felt that he had to use luminous recipes and make luminous dishes to be sure to defeat the pot of clear soup in front of him.
"It's not a perfect fusion, but there are actually many mistakes in it."
However, Erina Nakiri had different opinions and did not take care of Chen He's long face at all. She pointed to the seaweed that floated in the soup and snorted: "First of all, it's seaweed, which is the seaweed, which adds to the snake!"
"The seaweed itself contains a certain amount of salt. The seaweed used in this soup is wild in the ocean and inevitably absorbs salt from seawater. In fact, when cooking the soup, you can take out the remaining seaweed and leave it in the hot soup. Invisibly, it increases the amount of salt in the soup! Failure!"
What Xia Yu didn't expect was that the five-star chef Chen He was not angry at all, but listened carefully, "Is there any more?"
"Pay attention to the time when oysters are boiled and watered!"
"Also, the shrimps are not very good enough, they are almost covered up. I think the shrimps should be chopped off and chopped into the soup, and cooked in this way, so that the flavor will be more abundant!"
Next, Erina Nakiri tried several other new dishes one after another, and also pointed out a lot of shortcomings that seemed very subtle to Natsuki.
Five-star chef Chen He became a student instead. Under the guidance of Erina Nakiri, he kept nodding, and even used a small notebook to record on it while listening.
No matter how stupid Xia Yu was, he could react.
Erina Nakiri is working, and Danci must have spent a lot of money to invite her to come and try new dishes. After all, her god-level talent, "Divine Tongue", may be unique in neon land and even around the world.
It was almost six o'clock, and the table was full of dishes. After eating half of them, Xia Yu had to say goodbye regretfully.
"You're leaving? Wait!"
He picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth, and Nakiri Erina followed Nakiri like a wind.
Qi Nan and Chef Shen He both went out to see him off. In the car, Xia Yu watched Erina Nakiri who deliberately turned her head and looked out the window at night, and opened her mouth, but many words finally formed two simple words, "Thank you."
After saying that, Xia Yu's head resting and car seat cushion closed his eyes and pondered, but in fact he communicated with the chef's space, carefully recalling Chen Herong's cooking skills in cooking, and then comparing himself.
I soon returned to the shop.
Xia Yu got out of the car, thought for a while, but turned around and knocked on the window. When the car window fell, Erina Nakiri's delicate face showed up. He asked with a smile: "Do you want to come in and sit?"
Erina Nakiri glanced at him, but did not answer, but asked the driver's secretary:
"Feishazi, what is the schedule tomorrow?"
"Miss, at 9:00 am, you will go to Senior Kakazaki Taki's restaurant "Taki Amarillo" to try out the new dishes. At 11:00 am, it is Senior Kikuchi Touko's restaurant, and at 3:00 pm, it is Senior Kakazaki's "Kikinoya"..."
"Did you hear it? I'll come to pick you up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning!" Erina Nakiri sat with her chest in her arms.
"Well?"
Xia Yu blinked and suddenly understood.
Thinking of Erina Nakiri said she wanted to help him before, a heat suddenly flowed through Xia Yu's heart.
Erina Nakiri is planning to take him to work, Kakuzaki Taki, Kamihiko, Kikuchi Oroenix, etc. These are all Tozuki students who graduated as ten great masters.
Some time ago, IGO showed online that Kakuzaki Taki and Kikuchi Yuanguo were four-star chefs, but recently with his in-depth understanding of the food industry, Xia Yu discovered that the rating information of IGO is usually lagging behind. Just talk about himself. If he is lucky and has no tricks in the question, he can pass the three-star and four-star chef assessment.
However, in fact, he was still a small two-star chef, no wonder he was looked down upon by Lancelot and came to declare war.
"Okay, let's explore the details of those long-moon graduates in advance."
Xia Yu suddenly looked forward to going out with Erina to spend time, eating and drinking for free, and by the way, he had a clear understanding of the strength of a five-star chef.
