Chapter 288 Another Member of the Nakiri Family

chef.

This industry is actually very passive.

When someone comes to eat, the chef has the final say on whether the food is delicious or not.

It’s not just because your chef says what I cook is delicious, the guests will definitely agree and say it’s delicious; it’s not that if your restaurant says it’s delicious, the guests will definitely think it’s delicious!

Um!

all in all.

No matter how Nagiri Thistle sets the rules, in the end it will only matter if someone comes to eat it.

Otherwise, relying on ideals and feelings will definitely not be enough!

Maybe some upper class people, some professional elites, will support him, praise him, and be "medicated" by his standardized cuisine.

But after all, it is difficult to agree with everyone. Even a chef from a central food agency can run a small restaurant at a civilian price like Zhang Fan.

However.

These cooks.

In the end, how many people will recognize it?

How many people will like the food they cook?

How many dishes can a chef prepare in an average day at the same time? How many diners can he satisfy?

If the people have needs but are not satisfied, then the result must be that the people have no choice but to do it themselves!

…

Nagi cut thistle, I still can’t figure it out.

Why can this kind of ordinary food mixed with "impurities" be able to conquer Nakiri Shinagi's God's Tongue?

He looked at Zhang Fan with complicated eyes. The original intention of coming to the izakaya this time was to win over him, but the strength Zhang Fan showed tonight completely made him afraid.

Maybe.

The development of the entire situation has deviated from his expectations.

For this coup and to build a food empire, he had been preparing for more than ten years.

But despite all calculations, one could never calculate that in this dark and decadent culinary world, there actually exists a mysterious chef who can easily conquer the tongue of God!

"According to the WGO Food Organization's inspections in recent years, in the entire catering industry, the number of stir-fry restaurants is obviously not as good as the number of hot pot and barbecue restaurants."

"Why? Because bad money drives out good money, the training time of traditional chefs is long, the dish update cycle is fast, and the cooking of dishes is difficult. The design and production of popular dishes are easy to encounter bottlenecks and are easily copied."

"As for hot pot and barbecue catering, personnel training is relatively simple, there are few cost leakage points, and raw materials should be purchased centrally."

"One more."

"The catering industry is actually a sunset industry."

"I often tell my subordinate executives that these teahouse cooking schools are the gravediggers of chef education or cooking training."

"There is also the impact of semi-finished cooking products, which is further destroying the skill level of chefs."

"So, the entire culinary world has indeed come to a time when it needs to change and has to change. But in the face of this unknown and vast landscape, let alone you, it is me who has the talent of God's Tongue. It’s just a very small part!”

"Anyway, Nagi cut thistle."

"No, it's Nakamura Thistle, just take care of yourself."

Finally, Nakiri Shinagi seemed to feel something, looked up at Thistle, and said meaningfully.

…

Is experience important?

Of course it is important, even Zhang Fan agrees with it.

However, the achievements left by our predecessors are not meant for subsequent chefs to follow and copy throughout their lives. Rather, they should be used as a reference standard so that future generations can stand on the shoulders of their predecessors and think and copy again. Improve!

And Shinagi Nakiri is very happy to see a chef who can conquer God's Tongue in her lifetime and free her from anorexia.

This chef is very traditional, but he is not satisfied with tradition and is always trying to go his own way!

His cooking.

Besides being very humane.

In addition to retaining many excellent things in tradition, it also decisively gave up many things that were proven to be less useful in tradition.

Moreover, its cooking style does not strictly adhere to the original rules.

In her eyes, Zhang Fan is the light of hope in the culinary world!

…

early morning.

When the Moon Shadow train arrived at the next assessment location.

The cooking competition between Erina, Hisako, Alice, and Rindou has officially begun.

Feisha quickly picked out some large and round eggs, then took out a bowl and quickly knocked the eggs into the bowl, while not forgetting to separate the egg whites and egg yolks.

Then, with a tight gaze, she used an electric egg beater to quickly beat it until it was in a rough foam state.

Finally, add fine granulated sugar, turn to medium-high speed and beat until fine foam forms, and beat until texture can appear.

on the other hand.

Alice is not idle either.

She was making chocolate. She put cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and sugar in a bowl, and kept stirring until the contents in the bowl turned into a paste.

Then add a small amount of milk into the paste, stir again until it becomes thick again, and let cool naturally.

…

Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta.

The next moment, the sound of the collision between the kitchen knife and the chopping board appeared throughout the kitchen.

"Huh? What's going on?"

At this time, Kobayashi Ringtong, who was immersed in selecting ingredients, looked up at Erina, only to see that she was carefully slicing the dragon fruit.

Then, she looked back at Alice Nakiri, who was making the chocolate, and Hisako Nito, who was making the cake embryos, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Logically speaking.

Making the cake shouldn’t be too complicated.

However, without any discussion, Erina, Alice, and Hisako were able to cooperate so well!

The production of the cake base was handed over to Hisako.

And the chocolate used to decorate the appearance and increase the deliciousness was handled by Alice.

As for the selection of ingredients, processing ingredients and other complicated chores and things, they were all handed over to Erina.

The production of a cake was divided into several parts.

"Interesting, this set of processes seems to be learned at the izakaya, right?"

Kobayashi Ryodan blinked his bright eyes, and finally sighed helplessly.

After that, she retracted her gaze and began to prepare the ingredients, such as: low flour, salad oil, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt... These are all necessary ingredients for making cakes!

As the second place of the Ten Elites, Kobayashi Ryodan is best at cooking rare ingredients, and Western desserts such as cakes should be her weakness.

...

No doubt.

In this exam, it seems that she just wants to let it go.

She knew very well that the reason why Nakiri Tsuki sent her to compete with Erina was simply because she didn't want her daughter to lose the promotion exam.

Then, she came back to her senses and began to separate the egg whites and yolks. The egg whites were beaten into a clean bowl without water or oil, and the egg yolks were directly beaten into a container filled with oil.

Then, add a quarter of sugar to the egg yolk mixture and stir evenly.

Looking closely, this step.

It seems to be similar to the steps of Feishazi.

Then, she added the sifted low-gluten flour and salt three times and stirred evenly.

Finally, add sugar to the egg whites in batches and beat them into white foam with an electric mixer!

…

The ratio of cake ingredients is basically 2:1:1:1 according to eggs: flour: oil: sugar.

At the same time, she used the more common method of separating eggs this time. The cake base made by Kobayashi Longdan this time is a sponge cake.

This sponge cake is a low-fat cake.

After that, she prepared some powdered sugar and cooked corn flour, mixed in a ratio of 1:1.

Put the corn flour in the microwave for three minutes to cook. Take it out and turn it every minute. Suddenly, the whole kitchen is filled with the rich aroma of corn.

On the other hand, Hisako put down the tools, turned back and said to Erina: "Miss, my cake base is ready."

"Very good."

Erina just nodded slightly when she heard this.

Then Erina put a proper amount of cream on the first layer of cake base.

The next moment, she took out the spatula, leaned down, smoothed the cream, and then spread the freshly cut dragon fruit, and continued to pour cream and smoothed it.

"Hisako."

"Second layer of cake base!"

Erina looked up and said to Hisako again.

"Okay."

Hisako immediately added the cake base that was made again.

After that, Erina continued to repeat the above steps, put cream and smoothed it, but she didn't put dragon fruit on the second layer of cake base, but mango!

On top of the mango, continue to put cream and smooth it, and then put the third layer of cake base.

Then put the whipped cream on top, and evenly cover the cake with a spatula, and evenly spread it on the top of the cake. Then put it in the preheated oven and bake it in the middle layer for 30 minutes.

"It's my turn."

Alice, who was standing by, saw that the timing was just right.

She quickly took out the chocolate she had just made and sprinkled it on the surface of the cake. The cake made by the three of them was almost done!

...

Meanwhile.

Xiaolin Longdan was not idle either.

After she finished making the cake base, she continued to perfect the next step.

First, she added sugar to the cake base twice, then added a few drops of white vinegar and continued to stir.

Take out the cake base, apply a layer of blueberry jam, and apply a layer of fondant on the top.

Then use tools to make the fondant into different sizes of thin flowers on the top and thick on the bottom.

Soon Xiaolin Longdan's cake was about to be completed, leaving only the final decoration and putting some fruits on it.

...

Time passed quickly.

After a while, Nakiri Erina, Nakiri Alice and Niito Hisako finished their cakes, and the cakes they made were:

Brownie cakes!

At the same time, Kobayashi Rindan's cake was also finished, but she made a fondant cake.

The difference between the two cakes is that brownie is a kind of cake with a texture between cake and biscuit, with both the sweetness of sugar and the softness of cake, and can be in many styles.

In addition, the brownie cakes made by Nakiri Erina and others are mainly made of butter.

In terms of taste, it is sweeter, has more calories, and is more stable!

The outer sugar skin of Kobayashi Rindan's fondant cake is mainly made of powdered sugar, which is sweet.

The inner core of the cake is sponge cake. Although it is not as delicate as the chiffon cakes used in other cakes, it is also interesting!

……

"Huh? The three of you made brownie cakes!"

At this time, Kobayashi Rindan gently put down the cake and looked up slightly. When she saw the brownie cakes made by Erina and others, she was stunned for a moment.

"And then?"

"Who is the judge in charge of this exam?"

Erina Nakiri asked.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer, he will appear soon."

Kobayashi Gentian replied truthfully.

"This is unreasonable. What tricks are you going to do in this promotion exam?"

Next to her, Alice Nakiri was a little angry and yelled a few words involuntarily.

"Don't worry, the reviewer responsible for reviewing our side this time is a big shot!" Kobayashi Ringtong, probably seeing Alice's impatience, quickly explained.

…

The whole kitchen began to become very quiet.

Only the sweet aroma of the cake spreads throughout the kitchen!

However, while it was peaceful, there was also a little bit of indescribable depression, until almost five minutes passed. A light footsteps came closer and closer, and slowly, the door was opened.

All they saw was a figure appearing in front of everyone.

"What? It's actually...father!"

Alice Nakiri looked back and was stunned.

"Huh? It turned out to be..."

Erina frowned slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Nakiri Souei, who was making his debut, had a faint smile on his face and said: "You don't need to be so nervous, I am the assessor of your exam!"

"Okay, hurry up and let me taste your food now!"

…

"Oh, you three are making brownies?"

Looking at the brownie cake on the table, Nakiri Souei paused for a moment, seemingly a little surprised!

Immediately, he tasted it without hesitation.

sweet.

This is the first taste.

A whole brownie cake, definitely on the thin side.

But on top of the cake, almonds and walnuts are also placed for decoration and flavoring. As long as you gently eat it in your mouth, it will feel very sweet. And it’s so sweet that it’s cloying!

A successful brownie will have a pop of skin on the surface, namely:

Pieces of pastry will fall off when cutting the cake.

At this time, the chocolate on top of the cake has the strongest flavor.

Just a small piece has amazing calories.

Immediately, Nakiri Munue, who had only taken one bite, frowned tightly and said nothing. Afterwards, under the watchful eyes of Erina and others, he continued to cut a small piece and taste it carefully.

It tastes like something between a cookie and a cake. The surface of the cake and chocolate chip cookies are always sweet and crispy!

Especially after the peach kernels are carefully roasted, the way they spread on the surface of the cake is even more intoxicating.

The slight astringency of walnuts.

The sweetness of pure cream.

Coupled with the texture of the cake, eating it in one bite will leave you with endless aftertaste.

"That's it." Nakiri Munuei finally came to his senses and said, "The most exquisite thing about this brownie cake is the hint of cocoa bitterness after the rich aroma."

"This bitterness is paired with the crispiness of the walnut kernels, and the slight bitterness of the walnuts blends with the sweetness of the cake. It's a perfect match!"
