"The strong aroma can be neutralized with chili and pepper, so that it is spicy but not dry, numb but not bitter. To achieve this effect, you use - chicken essence."
Xuanli's eyes suddenly became sharp.
General high-end cuisine does not add artificial seasoning such as monosodium glutamate or chicken essence, but uses broth for seasoning.
This is because chicken essence contains nucleotides, and nucleotides have the umami taste of chicken, which can make the soup contain the natural flavor of chicken. However, for chefs, using MSG or chicken essence will be considered a sign of laziness. And the taste is slightly different from dashi soup.
Ordinary home cooking is more suitable for this kind of condiment, but if it is aimed at high-end cuisine, few chefs will use these condiments.
Of course Zheng Ke also knew the disadvantages of chicken essence, but in order to make delicious dishes, he had to do so, because the chicken he found was given to Ruishan Etsuya, so there was no other chicken to make broth.
The only thing he could think of that could produce a rich flavor was chicken essence.Besides, the lecturer put the chicken essence in the locker, wasn't it just for them to use?
"Sorry, I didn't think of a better way."
Although there are thousands of reasons, the lecturer may not listen to them, and the most appropriate thing to do is undoubtedly to apologize quickly.
Xuan Li nodded, her expression returned to her previous look, her eyes narrowed.smiling.
"I just think this dish could have been better. This dish is a home-cooked dish, so there is no problem if you do it this way. In fact, in addition to chicken soup, other spices can also achieve this effect, such as in cooking Add some licorice."
Licorice?
After hearing Xuan Li's words, Zheng Ke's hands shook involuntarily.
He knows licorice, but it is basically used in traditional Chinese medicine. It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, eliminating phlegm and relieving cough. Is it really okay to use it as a seasoning?
"Of course, you can only use a little bit. If you use too much licorice, it will be very bad."
Xuan Li blinked, and whispered in Chinese.
"I will pay attention to the accumulation of knowledge in this area in the future."
"Well, on the whole, you have met the requirements for passing, and you have not dishonored the reputation of Chinese cuisine. You will pass this time."
"Thank you, senpai."
Zheng Ke breathed a sigh of relief, but he was a little dissatisfied with Xuan Li's evaluation. What does it mean to be "passed"?This dish is obviously good.
Ruishan Zhijin also saw Zheng Ke approaching, with a displeased expression on his face, "I will find a chance to repay everything you have done to me today."
"Me too, look what kind of vegetables you are looking for? I don't use radishes at all, and since I have caught all the fish, why are there no shrimps? I had to use chicken essence to season. Instead, I gave Didn’t you use all your vegetables and shiitake mushrooms? So, of the two of us, you should be more sorry for me.”
"You also said that I used all the ingredients you gave me, but you didn't even prepare a green onion. Don't you use green onions for cooking? Besides, there is a time limit, do you understand? There is that Kung fu, the ghost won't catch it."
Eizan Edazu was also furious. If he hadn't been clever and secretly took away a green onion, the taste of his chicken breast with mushrooms would have been greatly reduced.
"Of course not, I just didn't find the scallions..."
While the two were complaining to each other, two pieces of chalk suddenly flew from the air and hit them on the heads.
Zheng Ke and Rui Shan turned their heads one after another, only to see Xuan Li looking at them with a smile on his face.
"There are still people who haven't finished the exam, you two please go out."
The two left the classroom in despair, but they were not convinced by each other.
After Zheng Ke and Rui Shan left, the practice room immediately became tense, but the cooking done by the remaining students was still terrible. In half an hour, only ten people finished the cooking.
The people who came out of the practice room rejoiced, just like the rest of their lives after a catastrophe.
When the time was about to end, Kanichi Konishi staggered out of the practice room.
"What's the matter, dropped out of school?" Zheng Ke was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Xikuan's pale face.
Xiao Xikuan was taken aback for a moment, but when he saw clearly that the person who was asking the question was Zheng Ke, he immediately rushed forward and hugged Zheng Ke tightly.
"Woooo... so scary..."
Haven't been?No, didn't the anime say that this guy is in the second grade?
"I thought... I was eliminated? It really scared me to death."
Can't you just finish it in one breath?
Zheng Ke pushed Xiao Xikuan away and found that Xiao Xikuan was looking at him with tears in his eyes.Zheng Ke rubbed his forehead.Compared with another Xiaoxi, this guy is another extreme.
At 03:30 in the afternoon, Xuan Li walked out of the practice room, followed by a large group of listless students behind her.
Zheng Ke counted, and there were actually 13 people who were eliminated.
This is only the first day of the training camp. According to this elimination rate, I am afraid that only 300 people will survive until the last day.
Zheng Ke didn't know until he returned to the grand banquet hall that his group eliminated the most people, and the other groups eliminated at most six or seven people.
Fortunately, there is another piece of good news. All five of Zheng Ke and his party passed the first day of training safely.
"Great, we can have a good time today and wait for tomorrow's training camp." Yisehui made a suggestion.
"There's also dinner, a bath, a kitchen...and the best guest room, it's exciting just thinking about it." Mami also jumped up excitedly.
"Well... do you want to prepare for tomorrow's exam?" Okawa Kanta raised his hand, his voice a little low.
"I think so too. How about we go to bed early today?" Mizuno Rika also agreed with Okawa Kanta's opinion.
"Eh? Isn't this too boring? It's fun when there are many people. Besides, we live in such a nice hotel. I don't want it to be a gray memory every time I think of this place."
"In that case...then..."
Okawa Kanta and Mizuno Rika looked at each other and felt that what Sugisaki Asami said made sense. They were about to agree when they were suddenly interrupted by a kind voice.
"Everyone, you are welcome to return here successfully, but today's mission is not over yet."
"Eh?" Zheng Ke looked in the direction of the voice, but found Bai Shilongyi standing at the front of the hall.
Everyone in the hall remembered that in the morning, someone was directly expelled for talking about him in a low voice. They immediately shut their mouths, and at the same time, everyone cried out in protest.
We want to be free!
Bai Shilongyi ignored their unyielding expressions, and continued: "Listen all of you, students from the football and baseball clubs of the nearby Upper Wrist University are coming soon. Each of you prepare 50 sets of chicken meals, and the time limit is one hour. You can rest when you are done."
Football players have begun to enter the hall one after another, and the air is instantly filled with the smell of sweat.
Making 50 set meals in one hour? OMG!
"By the way, the timer has started now. Those who can't finish in an hour will be eliminated!"
The corners of Bai Shilong's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a strange smile.
