Chapter 292: I have a stick
Branch kitchen.
After standing for an hour, Xia Yu suddenly woke up and cleaned the kitchen counter without saying a word.
“It’s eleven o’clock in the evening now…”
Ryoko Lina looked at Xia Yu who was busy, and then looked back at the kitchen wall clock.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, the short-hour hand happened to be on the number “11”, while the slightly longer minute hand just skipped over “12” and was heading towards the number “1”.
It happened to be eleven o'clock in the evening.
The last hour is left until the review is over.
It can be said that it was late at night and there was no order in the kitchen for a while, so Xia Yu had the time to stand for so long.
Da da da da da.
The sound of disorganized footsteps.
Looking back, Ryoko Lina caught a glimpse of Mas who was entering the door, raised her eyebrows and was about to scold her, but unexpectedly, Erina, Masato Kamihara and a noble woman in a lady's suit entered the kitchen together.
"Governor Tamakawa!"
Seeing that it was the mayor of Tokyo, Ryoko Lina's expression calmed down and she saluted slightly.
After a huh, Yuriko Tamakawa obviously knew Ryoko Lina and said with a smile: "I heard from Minister Kamihara that Ryoko, you have been stationed in this neighborhood recently, and is that young chef who needs special care? Is it him?"
The female governor said, and looked at the high school student who was pausing in front of the kitchen counter with a curious gaze and carefully.
He is indeed young!
However, there is a calm temperament between the eyebrows and eyes that peers do not possess.
Every move is full of the chef's style.
Even if you come to visit a diner, you will definitely determine Xia Yu's identity as a chef at a glance. This is a very strange intuitive reaction, or it is called "power" and "pride". And this kitchen is undoubtedly Xia Yu's main battlefield and territory, and he is the master!
"Oh, so young!" Yuriko Tamakawa chuckled, "It turns out that those shiny dishes today were made by him, which is really unbelievable."
Clean the kitchen counter carefully.
Xia Yu cleaned up all the extra items on the kitchen counter and then spread a layer of dry powder on the kitchen counter.
"Crash"
He raised the small bag of flour he had taken back from our store. With a shake of his hand, the whole bag of flour poured onto the kitchen counter, piled into small hills dozens of centimeters high. He turned around and took a salt spoon and sprinkled some salt particles into the pile of flour. It seemed very casual, but Xia Yu was accurately controlling the amount of salt and firmly controlling any details.
Hey.
Iso Hui and Kobayashi Gendan also entered the kitchen and stood behind Erina Nakiri. The three interns saw Xia Yu pull out a black stick about three feet long, like a crutch, and his eyes went straight.
"Then, what is that?" Erina's eyes were swaying.
"It seems to be a rolling pin, right?"
Kobayashi Gentian pointed his lower lip with his hand and said uncertainly.
"Just look at it." Yisehui could only smile bitterly. Her eyes were frozen on Xia Yu, and she couldn't stop complaining in her heart. How many secrets were hidden in this guy!
"stick!"
A refreshing voice came from behind everyone.
Gin Dojima, Hiroshi Akiyama and Sensaemon Nakiri, these three distinguished guests sitting in the private room No. 2 also came together.
Hiroshima said as Gin from Guidoshima, and smiled: "This kind of stick is the cooking tool of the chef Shiraki, just like the chef Hongke's chef's kitchen knife. I don't need to say more about the importance."
"White case, red case?"
Iso Hui, Kobayashi Gentian and Nakirina looked at each other, obviously not knowing the meaning of these Chinese nouns. This is not available in the modern professional courses of Totsuki.
"The white house is also called the pastry chef."
"The Hong Case, that is, the chef who holds a knife, is outside the pastry field."
Hiro Akiyama explained to three students among the crowd that he was elegant and had the style of a professor in colleges and universities.
"This is the saying originated from mainland China. Before modern times, the Bai Case and the Hong Case Chef were two areas that did not intersect with each other. For example, the lost court dishes in the mysterious continent. At the banquet of the palace dishes, the Bai Case and the Hong Case each perform their duties, and there must be no confusion."
Hiro Akiyama said slowly:
"However, in modern times, the boundary between the white and the red cases is not as obvious as in ancient times. The red cases chefs have also begun to learn pastry skills, explore more fields, and their cooking skills have become more comprehensive..."
Speaking of this, Hiro Akiyama suddenly stopped and his eyes gathered.
The three interns digested the knowledge silently and then were surprised. Who is this guy?
The kitchen was quiet, and no one spoke at this time, and his eyes gathered on Xia Yu at the same time. Xia Yu, who was immersed in the world of cooking, simply ignored the irrelevant people.
Bang!
A black shadow flashed!
The black stick cuts the hills made of medium-gluten flour and flattens the top of the mountain!
Hold a stick and pound it!
The flattened mountain tip immediately sank. Xia Yu held up the basin next to him with his left hand, and the water flowed into the flour pile, forming a crater like a crater lake.
"cold water!"
Seeing this, Kobayashi Longdan exclaimed in a low voice.
Yes, cold water.
This detail shows a lot of problems.
In this process, three types of water are required: cold water, warm water, and hot water.
It was still Hiro Akiyama who broke the silence and explained: "Hot water dough, also known as boiling water surface and hot noodles. The water temperature is generally 60-100 degrees Celsius. This dough has protein solidification, gluten quality is destroyed, and starch also decomposes monosaccharides and disaccharides. Although the color of a flat dough is poor, it has the characteristics of a smooth taste and sweetness."
"Hot water dough is suitable for making buns, steamed dumplings, sauerk and pot stickers." Erina said softly.
Tokyo Governor Yuriko Tamakawa, who had never made any noise, said with a smile: "If the water surface is warm, the water temperature is about 50 degrees, which is generally used to make various steamed cakes. For example, yakito is made of warm water dough. The taste is soft and tough, and it is very delicious!"
Ishisu and Erina looked at the Tokyo Governor with a shocking look. Unexpectedly, this Governor looked like he could easily learn about cooking.
“The end is the cold water dough.”
Dojima Yin raised three fingers and said in a deep voice:
"Cold water dough has three characteristics: strong toughness, strong tension and dullness!"
As he said that, the big guys present nodded silently.
"noodle!"
"It can only be pasta!"
“Ramen?”
They whispered, each with their own guesses.
"Look—"
Xiaolin Gendan suddenly covered his mouth, as if he had seen an incredible scene, with golden eyes with a strong surprise.
Bang!
At least half of the black stick was inserted into the milky white mountain!
Seeing this scene, Hiroshi Akiyama and Sensaemon Nakiri subconsciously looked at each other and said, "Keep the face with a stick!"
That's right!
When others were surprised, Xia Yu held a black pasta stick and circled the "Crater Lake" above the top of the mountain, and the clear water gradually mixed with the flour as the stick rotated.
Xia Yu's lips opened and closed slightly, and he talked to himself in a subtle voice he could hear:
"The dough is not made by brute force..."
"Finger rotation!"
"Wrist rotation!"
"The rotation of the arm!"
Just as Xia Yu muttered to himself, the black pasta sticks were spinning and circled and circled faster and faster, and in the end there were only black afterimages left!
Hu, Hu.
There seemed to be a whirlwind in the kitchen.
The airflow suddenly changed, including Tokyo Governor Yuriko Tamakawa, who was not a keen cook, immediately noticed this vision.
"He, what is he doing?!"
The scene that subverts common sense makes Isumi, Kobayashi Gentian and Nakiri Erina lose their voices and stare straight.
The big guys such as Gin Dojima, Hiroshi Akiyama, and General Totsuki also looked shocked for a long time.
this……
