Chapter 254 Nakiri Thistle’s Ambition

The original purpose of a piece of clothing must be to protect the body from the cold.

However, people are able to make ever-changing and clever combinations of body-covering objects, thus creating different styles of clothing, showing a variety of formal beauty.

No matter what a piece of dough is, it only serves to satisfy hunger.

But people knead and process it repeatedly, and then steam it in a cage into smooth and plump pastry, which in turn induces appetite.

A ball of minced fish, cooked in water without processing, has a rough and messy shape that is annoying.

If you can make these purees into beautiful "goldfish", or make them into smooth and crystal-clear balls and cook them in soup, your image will immediately change.

…

In short.

Human civilization always needs beauty.

Cuisine also needs beauty. Using cooking skills, high technology, and advanced theories to pursue beauty is definitely a form of expression.

And what best embodies the "beauty" of cuisine must be the recipes formulated by the chef!

Reasonable recipes can avoid over-reliance on junk food such as takeout or fast food, thereby reducing the intake of unhealthy foods.

From the perspective of restaurant management, recipes are a means of promotion:

A well-prepared menu can make diners feel comfortable and pleasing to the eye, and can also allow diners to appreciate the careful management of the restaurant, prompting them to happily spend money and order more dishes.

Moreover, recipe content can be used to guide diners to try high-consumption dishes to increase restaurant revenue.

Of course.

Recipes are important, but they by no means play the most critical role.

This can be seen from the fact that everyone can cook according to the recipes, but the entire catering industry still needs chefs.

Controlling the heat of making dishes; understanding of common seasonings, such as salt, monosodium glutamate, light soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, etc.; understanding of condiments such as onions, ginger, and garlic; and the selection of materials for various pots , food selection, etc...

You can say that.

When cooking, you don't just read the recipes, you need to add your own understanding of the dishes and seasonings.

When you fully understand the nature of food and cook with care, you can make delicious dishes, such as:

One hundred people cooking a dish will create a hundred flavors.

Everyone is different!

…

But.

For Nagiri Thistle, he had a bold idea.

No, it is no longer an idea, but what he is doing, that is:

Relying on his rich experience, he constantly develops cooking recipes that everyone can make and that can lead the trend of the times.

Yes.

His dream is to create a food empire.

Then in this empire, everyone can make the most "exquisite" dishes according to the recipes he provides.

And those ordinary dishes that represent the common people will all disappear in the trend of this new era and in front of the recipes he formulated!

At this moment, Nagi Kiriji was seen in the kitchen, continuing to drag his tired body, planning to make another three-prawn noodles.

"President, something bad has happened." However, when he was about to swing the kitchen knife and start processing the ingredients, a woman who looked like a secretary rushed into the kitchen quickly and said in panic.

"I should have told you that when I am cooking, no matter how big things are outside, you must not disturb me!"

The disturbed Nagi cut thistle, and he was immediately displeased.

Then, he could only put down the kitchen knife and glare at the secretary with a fierce look.

"President, this matter is bigger than the sky."

"The Chamber of Commerce branch stationed in Neon Country has just contacted the headquarters."

"It was said that a group of late-night cooks suddenly attacked Chef Blossom's restaurant. One of them, a chef who used a chain saw to make kitchen utensils, successfully defeated Blossom with only a fish cake focaccia. Chef Mori!”

Secretary, said clearly.

"Late night cook?" Nakiri Kiku heard this and was stunned.

Immediately, his eyes flashed, and he knew that this was what the WGO Food Organization was behind.

Originally, he had no intention of competing with WGO. After all, his current goal was Totsuki Academy and the entire Nakiri family...

But he didn't expect that things would develop far beyond expectations.

From his perspective, it was not difficult to see that the late-night cook's attack and the entire situation developing to this point were all fueled by someone who did not want to see him expand his sphere of influence in the Neon Country.

Among them, he has no intention of trying to figure out what role the WGO Food Organization played in this dispute!

"It's interesting. I didn't expect that even WGO would take action at this time." The corners of Nakiri Kiku's lips slightly raised, and then he asked the secretary next to him: "Report to me in detail all the information you can collect!"

"Yes, President!"

Secretary, hurry up and tell me the whole thing about taking care of people late at night in detail.

When I learned that this group of late-night cooks actually used extreme methods of coercion, the chefs of major restaurants had to use the "food halberd" rules to compete with them in a cooking showdown. If they lost, they must be closed unconditionally. Dining room!

This kind of thing made Nakiri Thistle silent for a long time.

You know, he also came from Totsuki Academy, and he knows that the rules of "Shokuji" are unique only to Totsuki Academy.

However, this set of rules, which was originally intended to resolve disputes between students, was eventually used by late-night cooks outside and became their means of attacking the table-cooking industry!

"Could it be said that the person behind the WGO Food Organization has something to do with Totsuki Academy?"

Nakiri Thistle thought for a while, and finally lowered his head and muttered to himself.

…

Anyway, now he has a little bit of fear.

That's not to say that with his current ability, he can't compete with the WGO Food Organization.

It was this incident that made him vaguely aware that the person behind it was anything but simple. He had probably seen through his plan and his ambitions.

This entry into the neon country is both an opportunity and a challenge for Nakiri Thistle.

right!

It must be an opportunity!

But he knew that this was also a path of no return.

If he wins, he can become the new commander-in-chief of Totsuki Academy, and he can coordinate the resources of the entire Nakiri family to develop his great plan of a food empire!

If you lose, then...

Nagi cut thistle and didn't think about it any more.

"It seems that I have to go to Neon Country in person."

Finally, after thinking about it, Nagiri Kiku couldn't help but tighten his eyes, and he seemed to have made some determination: "Go and book two tickets to Neon Country, and try to get us back to Tokyo within two days. "

"Okay, President."

The secretary nodded quickly.

Now that things have come to this, Nakiri Thistle has no intention of continuing to cook.

He tidied his clothes first, and then told his secretary: "Before that, clean up the mess in the kitchen."

"President, do you want the three-prawn noodles you just finished?"

secretary, asked.

"No, just throw it in the trash can."

"But it took you more than 7 hours to make these three shrimp noodles, and I thought it was delicious just looking at it. It's a pity to lose it..."

"What's a pity?"

"The only word in my life dictionary is perfection."

"No matter how carefully you cook the food, even if it has a few flaws, it's just like pig feed. It's disgusting."

After saying that, Nakiri Ki turned around and left coldly, leaving only the secretary with a shocked face!

…

The "Chengdu Survey" published in 1909 included a total of 1,328 Sichuan dishes, excluding classic fish-flavored dishes such as fish-flavored shredded pork.

A hundred years have passed, and to this day, there are different opinions on the number of Sichuan dishes:

One said there are 3,000 species.

One said 6,000 species.

But no matter which number, it is staggering.

Pork, as one of the most common carnivorous foods on Chinese people’s tables, spared no effort to create many classic Sichuan dishes.

The last spoonful of hot oil brings out the infinite spiciness of the boiled beef. The soup is red and oily. It is a classic Sichuan dish from ZG City. Later, it was extended to the pork method, and the price is more affordable.

In Hanyuan County, the jar meat preserved in pottery pots fired with local methods has a long-lasting aroma and is easy to preserve.

Burn white.

More salty and sweet.

The salty roasted white is mellow, and the sweet roasted white is rich.

It can be seen that pork has various changes in Sichuan people’s kitchens.

If you want to ask which one of these dishes is the most popular, ask around Sichuan people. Twice-cooked pork has absolute fans.

What is "return to pot"?

It is nothing more than secondary cooking, blanching the pork to remove the fishy smell and tighten the texture.

In fact, twice-cooked pork has always been called "the first dish of Sichuan cuisine".

In the eyes of many diners, twice-cooked pork is also a must-eat Sichuan dish. At the 9th Tianchao International Food Tourism Festival, the public was selected for the "Top Ten Classic Sichuan Dishes", and twice-cooked pork was selected as the "No. 1 dish" with the highest number of votes.

In the eyes of professional chefs, twice-cooked pork ranks among the best.

Looking through major Sichuan recipes, Sichuan chefs and Sichuan cuisine researchers have often introduced twice-cooked pork first since the 1970s.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that twice-cooked pork is the best Sichuan dish.

…

The diners in the izakaya either sit in groups around the table, chatting softly, or they drink wine alone in front of the bar, enjoying some alone time.

There is always a relaxed and happy atmosphere in the air, making people relax involuntarily.

Occasionally, music will play softly, and the soft melody will complement the surrounding atmosphere.

Here, time seems to slow down, allowing people to forget the hustle and bustle of the outside world and enjoy this rare quiet time!

At this moment, while Miyoko was silently enjoying the deliciousness of the twice-cooked pork, Yoshino Yuki walked in with two native chickens in her hands, her eyes shining a little.

And behind her, her former friend Tadokoro was following.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, good evening."

"Here are some pastries I made for you."

Tian Suohui is really not too shy now. Maybe she is familiar with Zhang Fan, right?

Afterwards, she began to boldly bring a box of cakes to him.

"Thanks!"

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the box of pastries with both hands without being polite.

Immediately afterwards, Ryoko Sakaki, who came in last, looked at the surrounding environment with the corner of her eyes, and then chose a place to sit down.

"Old rules, shopkeeper, just use these two native chickens to make some delicious meals!"

As soon as Yuji finished speaking, she handed the two native chickens to Zhang Fan.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Finally, Zhang Fan turned around and returned to the kitchen, carrying pastries and local chicken.

…

The phrase "spicy chicken, spicy chicken, look for chicken among the spicy ones" is most suitable for hot pepper chicken.

In this world, there is no cuisine that allows the chef to have such a heroic attitude when adding hot peppers, and at the same time makes the diners sweat.

Zhang Fan quickly grabbed a native chicken.

Then the rope was tied up to prevent the wings from struggling and escaping later.

Then skillfully pull out the chicken feathers on the neck, and finally use an extremely sharp kitchen knife to cut into the chicken neck to bleed.

Um!

Just kill a chicken.

The picture is not to mention bloody.

But such skillful butchering movements still made Yuji, who was good at handling wild game ingredients, stunned for a moment.

After slaughtering the native chicken, Zhang Fan continued to prepare an onion, hot pepper, onion, ginger, garlic, dried Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili peppers, sugar, and light soy sauce.

Wash and chop the chicken into pieces, marinate with salt and sugar.

Cut green onions into 3 mm long sections, mince ginger and garlic, heat oil in a hot pan until 60% hot.

Add the chicken pieces and fry until crispy. Leave 50g of oil. Add the dried chili segments, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic, and green onions and stir-fry until the chilies turn brown. Add the fried chicken pieces, add sugar and pepper and stir-fry evenly with the sesame oil. , take out the pan and sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

As winter approaches, spicy and spicy foods are always particularly popular.

As for the spicy pepper chicken dish made by Zhang Fan, I have to say that the color and appearance are very good, and if you smell it carefully, you can smell a strong aroma.

"Wow, is this really hot pepper chicken?"

Yuji twitched the tip of her nose and couldn't help but sigh.

…

In the mouth, it just feels very spicy.

Let the pieces of chicken collide hotly in your mouth, and you will never tire of it.

After the chicken was rummaged through the pile of chili peppers, except for a few bits and pieces left, I couldn't bear to part with it.

Perhaps, this is the charm of Chinese cuisine, you can't help but eat it in your mouth!

Moreover, while sipping slowly and chewing the chicken, it tastes really rich in umami without any unnecessary bad taste.

The skin and meat are tight, and the spiciness has been completely immersed into the chicken. The aroma of the chicken juice seeps into the chili peppers. Although the chicken has been treated with oil, it is not dry.

Take one bite, it's tender and juicy, and the unique spiciness fills your lips and teeth.

After eating a piece, you have to take a few deep breaths, and then you are hooked!

“The amount of pepper is just right, not too much and not too little.”

"Although the spicy pepper chicken tastes very spicy, the spiciness is extremely slow, rather than rushing in all at once."

With her eyes closed, Yoshino Yuki couldn't help but start to reminisce.

There are many ways to make chicken, but the dish of spicy pepper chicken is cooked with peanuts, cucumbers, peppers and other supplementary ingredients.

Its biggest characteristics are red but not spicy, spicy but not strong, spicy and spicy, and the meat is smooth and crispy. Because of its spicy taste, the tenderness of the chicken combined with the flavor of the other ingredients makes it even more spicy.

After entering the mouth, the tip of the tongue first feels slightly numb and slightly spicy, and then a sweetness hits the taste buds.

When you chew it again, it will feel a little crunchy again.

yes.

Such cuisine.

It’s really addictive! (End of chapter)
