Chapter 160: The Wild Cat at Home
After seeing off Erina Nakiri, Natsuha opened the door and entered the store, heading to the kitchen, ready to change clothes.
But as soon as he arrived at the kitchen door, the flash of dark shadow scared him very much.
The breathing almost stopped.
“Meow~”
Immediately afterwards, the cat's panic scream came from the courtyard. Xia Yu chased him out and saw a slightly familiar cat running wildly in the corridor, holding something in his mouth, and finally stopped at the wall of the courtyard, staring at him with amber-like eyes.
"By the way, the failure last night has not been dealt with yet!"
Xia Yu couldn't help but slapped his head when he saw the food on the cat's mouth.
There were crowds of wild cats in the shopping street. A long time ago, the old man repeatedly told him to wrap it when disposing of garbage. It was not once or twice that the wild cats sneaked into the house to steal food. Xia Yu was severely scolded by the old man every time.
Moreover, looking at the familiar appearance of this cat, it should be a regular customer who visits the shop.
"The kitchen is clearly closed!" Xia Yu turned around and looked at the open kitchen that had been renovated and modified. He got up this morning, and the bento he prepared last night was hot and he went to Yuanyue.
As for the kitchen, he had long developed the habit of closing the door.
The cat on the wall was screaming again, which was a satisfying cry. He lay there and licked his paws. The shark fin intestine had been eaten up by the cat. Xia Yu shook his head and went into the kitchen. Seeing that there were still a few shark fin intestines piled up last night, he simply picked up the plate, placed it in the corridor, and then went upstairs to change his clothes.
It’s just a wild cat, and it’s a waste to throw away food, and he can’t eat that much.
It is shameful to waste food, which is also the reason why Xia Yu likes to practice cooking in the Chef God Space. If he is addicted to practice in the real world, if he is not careful, the entire kitchen will be filled with his failures.
Five-star chef?
Before changing the dressing mirror and tidying up her clothes, Xia Yu couldn't help but recall the dishes that Shen He had prepared not long ago.
Being old.
Perfect.
This is what Xia Yu said about Shen He’s dishes in his heart.
It just so happened that he was trying on students’ dishes all day today. Compared with this, the gap was even more obvious. Not only in basic skills, but just the combination and fusion of the Jiuxian soup, Xia Yu felt inferior.
He asked specifically before that Jiuxian Soup is a quasi-special dish, a new signature dish from Danfeilou, priced at 300,000 yen.
"Create a new dish!" Xia Yu murmured.
create.
These two words are not easy to talk about. I won’t talk about the basic skills of cooking, just talk about the ingredients. When a chef creates new dishes, he needs to find the right combination among the thousands of ingredients around the world. The most exquisite thing is the chef’s awareness of the ingredients.
A third-rate chef can specialize in a certain field and ignore other fields.
However, if you want to become an outstanding first-class chef, you should not leave any blind spots in the ingredients.
Because the ingredients are the puzzle of the chef weaving the world of food. Materials. A chef who lacks materials, his cooking is of course not colorful. Xia Yu knew that what he, a chef who became a monk halfway, lacked is this knowledge and needed to go to the chef god space to make up for his lessons and accumulate.
The next day, at 8 o'clock in the morning, a black car was indeed parked at the door of Xia's shop on time.
“Meow~”
From the second floor, Xia Yu heard the cat's meow again. Last evening, the cat with a badly healthy fur was huddled in the corridor outside, with amber cat's eyes staring at him.
In a hurry to go out and didn't have time to entertain the cat. Xia Yu took out the lunch box left in the refrigerator last night, picked out a piece of fried steak with chopsticks, put it on the plate confiscated last night, and waved his hands to the cat and went out.
At nine o'clock, we arrived at Kakuzaki Taki's Spanish-style restaurant on time.
As soon as Natsuyu and Erina Nakiri sat down in the restaurant, Kakuzaki Taki, the manager and chef, arrived at the news.
This Yuanyue graduate looks like a woman with a ponytail tied to the outside and has a fierce look. Her personality is the same as her appearance, and she is very fierce and will beat people up every time she moves.
The decoration of the Spanish restaurant is very well in line with the style of the store manager, full of wildness, and even the music is a denim melody.
"Yo—"
Kakuzaki Taki greeted Erina Nakiri, holding a strange dish in her hand, bright red color.
"Please try it and help me see the improvement space. The price will be transferred to you as mentioned before. The deposit has been paid." Kakuzaki Taki didn't look good to Erina, the junior, and his tone was hard.
Erina Nakiri obviously knew the character of this senior and didn't care.
"You try it first. Tell me about your experience of tasting." Erina tilted her head to look at Xia Yu.
"OK!"
Xia Yu was eager to try.
Kakuzaki Taki frowned and looked at him, "Who are you?! Not everyone is qualified to taste my new dish!"
"Am I?" Xia Yu replied calmly, "I am the guest lecturer hired by Yuanyue, in other words, Miss Nakiri's teacher..."
"Ha, lecturer?"
Kakuzaki Taki widened his vicious eyes and looked at Xia Yu up and down, "How old are you? Yuanyue hired you?"
It seems that the news of the special class and he and Si Eishi's duel have not spread among the graduate group. Others don't know him. Xia Yu was helpless and was about to introduce himself, but Erina said coldly: "Senior Kaorazaki Taki, if you want to invite me to be a taster in the restaurant in the future, then do what I said!"
She exuded the queen's aura at the right time. Kakuzaki Taki said choked, glared at Xia Yu fiercely before putting down the plate, and said unwillingly, "Then you can try it."
On the plate, there are red peppers cut in half.
Each petal of red pepper is stuffed with different fillings.
Xia Yu held the knife and fork, but was not in a hurry to enjoy it, but observed the dishes and smelled the taste.
"Pork, beef, lamb..."
"Fresh shrimp and crab roe, huh, and goat cheese!"
His eyes widened in surprise.
The fillings in each pepper are different. Xia Yu pursed his lips and gently pierced a fried red pepper with a fork, and took a small bite, "The pork is sunken! Moreover, the pork is roasted with parsley, olive oil and other spices, which is delicious!"
Even the red pepper on the outer layer has the flavor of sauce and spice grass!
Taste enjoyment!
Just a small piece of puzzle in the dish, Xia Yu was shocked enough, and he couldn't help but secretly compare the "Jiuxian Soup" from yesterday evening.
"Spanish stuffed red pepper!"
Erina Nakiri, named the name of a broken dish, has a lot more knowledge of cooking than Xia Yu, and said lightly: "In Spain, red peppers are more served as a tapas snack. This traditional tapas snack usually stuffs different fillings into the red pepper. The method of 'brew' is very similar to the 'brew' in Chinese cuisine..."
"Tapas?" Xia Yu scratched his face, "A pre-dinner snack?"
"Yes, to be more precise, it's snacks!" Erina Nakiri glanced at him, "Snacks are the national food and national food of Spain. From high-end restaurants to small restaurants that ordinary people go to, there are such snacks."
After saying that, she also used a fork to raise a red pepper and tasted it.
"Senior Kakuzaki Taki, you can serve another dish..."
“What about the tasting review?”
"The filling is fine. It should be noted that the heat of the red pepper when roasting and the time for sprinkling seasonings. The red pepper heat is three seconds longer, and it is a bit old."
Kakuzaki Taki immediately showed an annoyance.
"Ahhhh, I knew something was going to go wrong!"
Chapter completed!
