A City of Infinite Winners in One's Life

"You forgot to water the spice today, I'll water it for you."

After Hayama Ryo said this, Shio Jianjun's already petite/small figure seemed to be even smaller.

"You also forgot to water the spices last week, and the precious single plant almost died. And last week, but I was dealing with the guests you left aside..."

"Yes...sorry..."

Seeing Jun Xijian being trained like a primary school student, Li Wei felt very happy, and the roles of the two sides were completely reversed.However, this also shows how unreliable Xi Jianjun is. Without the assistance of Ye Shanliang, her life would definitely be a mess.

Looking at the bizarre interaction between the two, Li Wei knew that he would have nothing to do for a while, so he stood up and visited the various spice plants in the indoor cultivation cabinet. I have to say that he is the most famous in the spice industry. , where you can see many rare spice plants.Although this two-story building doesn't look very good from the outside, the internal facilities are very complete. Various cultivation equipment simulates the growth environment required by spice plants. Looking at the rows, it makes people have a kind of spectacular a feeling of.

Li Wei followed the smell and came to a group of plants that had been picked. Looking at the plants in the tray, Li Wei immediately recognized what it was.Commonly known as curry leaves, Kein's moon orange, a plant native to India, has a very strong fragrance and is an important seasoning for Indians to make curry.

"I didn't expect to be able to see plants native to India here. It's really a 'Spice Grand View Garden'." Li Wei couldn't help admiring, there is no need to doubt Xijianrun's professional level. Cultivation on this scale is not Ordinary people can play around, which requires a good understanding of the characteristics of various spices, and because they leave the place of origin, these spice plants become very fragile, and drastic changes in the environment can easily cause them to wither.

"Of course, although Run is useless in other aspects, she is quite good at spice. Fresh curry leaves are considered rare in Neon, and this is also one of Run's main research topics. How to cultivate tropical spice plants in Neon, how to use freezing technology for long-term preservation, and the extraction of new aroma components. She still has two brushes for spices." Ye Shanliang did not give any advice. Xi Jian Jun saved face, like saying, my children are not bad, and they can handle it.

Li Wei praised: "It's really unbelievable, these are not majors that ordinary people can play."

"Thank you for your compliment. There are so many kinds of spices, even I just touched/touched a little fur. The world of spices is very broad, and I'm just an explorer/explorer." With Li Wei's compliment, Xi Jianrun remained humble, because the deeper he went into this, the more he understood that it was not simple.This is also the reason why the half bucket of water is clinking, but the full bucket is not.

When Xi Jianrun opened the chatterbox, he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and he said that he completely left Li Wei and Ye Shanliang aside, and it seemed that he couldn't stop for a while.Ye Shanliang nodded to Li Wei and said, "The spice thing is not clear in words, and it will be faster to actually experience it now.

Ye Shanliang started to cook the curry dishes, while Li Wei watched his operation, recorded the details, and then used his strong sense of smell and vision to remember all this, Ye Shanliang didn't know that his skills had been given to him by Li Wei. "Cloning", he continued to operate, and soon the dishes of curry dishes came out, and the strong aroma began to permeate the room.

"Li Weijun, you are a master at controlling color and fragrance, so let's skip the basics and talk about the use of spices. This is also considered as one of the few that I can be proud of in front of you. It's over." Ye Shanliang brought his curry dishes to Li Wei and said with a smile. .

Chapter 341. The Secret Book

Ye Shanliang's cooking speed is very fast. It should be said that there are many semi-finished curry ingredients around, so his speed can reach this exaggerated level.Curry is also considered a home-cooked dish in Neon, but Neon's curry is an improved version, the taste is generally mild, and the application of spices is relatively rough.

Judging from the aroma of the curry dishes served by Ye Shanliang, this is a typical Indian-style curry with a strong taste, and Indian-style chicken curry. Although it is not deviant, it is also a rare novelty dish.

"Try it, the original Indian-style curry is more sophisticated in the application of spices. Although Indians are very funny, it is undeniable that Indians have a good diet, provided they do not eat with their hands." Ye Shanliang complained. Then, he pushed the curry dish in front of Li Wei. "I also added the curry leaves just now, and try to taste the difference between "[-]" and the curry you usually eat."

"Then I'm welcome." Li Wei picked up the spoon and scooped it into his mouth.The strong aroma hit the nostrils, followed by the taste of peppers and onions, and the spiciness of the curry began to melt in the mouth little by little. It was obviously a spicy dish that was easy to get angry, but it made Li Wei eat it. It has a silky taste, and it feels like Dove who is often advertised. This inexplicable taste is very sensual and quite magical.

"This is the taste of fresh curry leaves. It is several times stronger than the dry curry leaves that are usually used. It is like the difference between dried peppercorns and green peppercorns just picked. The contrast is too great." Li Wei ordered. Nodding, the taste of fresh spices is very strong. He is quite familiar with Chinese cuisine, and he is not unfamiliar with spices, but he is not familiar with curry.

"Li Weijun, you have already tasted the taste of fresh curry leaves. Next is the next course. This is two bowls of 'Goan fish curry' made with white fish such as swordfish and salmon, but there are some differences in the middle, please taste it ." Yeshan Liang brought out two more curry dishes, and put the previous chicken curry aside and covered it with a lid, so as not to mix the aromas and affect the perception of the dishes.

Li Wei is also welcome, pick up the spoon and start tasting. I have to say that as Xi Jianjun's assistant, Ye Shanliang's application of spices is also very good, even an old bird like Li Wei has a great appetite. The charm of spices can maximize the flavor of ingredients as much as possible.After tasting two curries that looked identical in appearance, Li Wei sighed: "I understand what's going on, although the two curries look the same and the ingredients are exactly the same, but their soup ingredients are different, you It's a little bit of manipulation on the soup, so the taste is polarized. The base of one dish is dry-fried, while the other is boiled."

"As expected of Li Weijun, he found the difference so easily. Yes, the raw materials of the two dishes are exactly the same, and even most of the steps are the same. But it's just this small difference, it will be correct. The taste of the dish has such a huge impact, and I have to say that the spice is such a magical thing." Yeshan Liang laughed. "The application of spices is not simply stacking, but a balance. You who study Chinese cuisine must have more research than me in this regard. Everything is too much, and the same is true for spices."

"I agree with this point. The more complicated the cooking, the better. In many cases, simple things can burst into unimaginable power. Just like a seemingly simple dish like curry, there are almost infinite possibilities. I think Indian-style cuisine is not without merit." Li Wei sighed.

Indian-style cuisine belongs to Asian cuisine, but because of its special nature, it has poor compatibility with the food styles of the surrounding areas. However, only curry has gone out of the country and has gone to the world. It can be seen that curry also has its own advantages. Yes, otherwise it wouldn't be able to become a global dish.And Ye Shanliang, a young man, is not obvious, but Li Wei feels that if he has the strength to compete for the top ten, at least Nakiri Erina will not have the power to fight back. I have to say that Nakiri Erina is also a tragedy. As a top ten, he was used by Li Wei as a unit of combat power.

If Nakiri Erina has a tongue of God that can refine the taste to the extreme, then Ryo Hayama has a so-called nose of God. Her sensitivity to fragrance and perfect control ability allow her to be able to make dishes. The ability to maximize the flavor of the dishes is not something that ordinary chefs can master.

"It's a pity, I wanted to have a showdown with you, Li Weijun, but I'm in Group A and you're in Group B, so I can only see you in the final..." Ye Shanliang sighed .

"If you want to play against me, then you can't lose before you meet me. I'll accept the first place in this tryout. I welcome your challenge." Li Wei smiled.

"Li Weijun, you are really an interesting person. I also know your purpose. I can give you the knowledge of spices. Anyway, apart from you, no one else threatens me, even if I get the notes, it is just That's what's going on." Ye Shanliang handed the sorted notes to Li Wei and said, "This time the number of players in Jixingliao is terrifying, I know you are here for them, but this time it is you in the end. A duel between me."

Ye Shanliang is not worried that Li Wei can decipher his perfect mastery of spices with his research notes. This is a talent that ordinary people cannot learn.Although Li Wei is also a monster, Ye Shanliang is confident that he will not lose in the confrontation with Li Wei. This confidence stems from his in-depth research on spices.

Li Wei got the research notes and looked at them. They were all detailed research notes of various spices. For a chef, this is undoubtedly a "secret book", but Ye Shanliang is confident and arrogant. He is generous. This "cheats" was given to Li Wei. For him, this matter is nothing at all, just a little research note. It is impossible to beat him on the spice.

However, Li Wei himself doesn't care about 0.3. It's just that the people in Jixingliao still need these materials, so Li Wei didn't say anything.At this time, Xi Jianrun, who was still babbling on the blackboard, also came to his senses. Before she knew it, Li Wei and Ye Shanliang were already busy on the kitchen counter. She was talking to the air. long time.

"Then Xijian senior, Yeshan-kun, I will leave first. If you have the opportunity, welcome to Jixingliao to play. Senior Xijian is not an outsider, and Yeshan-kun is also. If you want to learn cooking skills, I am always welcome." Li Wei smiled and said hello, ready to leave.

"I won't come over in the near future. I'm going to compete with you in the trials. During this period of time, I also need to make up for my shortcomings. When you meet in the trials next time, you will face me in my prime. Be careful." Ye Shanliang also laughed. .

chapter 342. before the decisive battle

After Li Wei got Ye Shanliang's research notes, he returned to Jixingliao directly.After all, there are three books in total. Two are copies of Ye Shanliang's research notes, and one is Shiojian Jun's notes, covering both advanced and master-level spice knowledge points. It is also suitable.After all, everyone is not a vegetable chicken in the junior high school, and the basic knowledge of spices is there, so the three materials are very suitable for the situation.

Everyone made a copy of the information and started researching. As the match date approached, everyone was nervous.

The research team of Li Wei and Nao Sadazuka also started an in-depth study of spices. Neither of them are novices anymore, and they read directly from Shiojian Jun's notes.Li Wei's words are almost omnipotent because of the majestic and inclusive content of Chinese cuisine. Although he is not particularly good at spice, he still needs to completely explode the average chef, that is, he will feel a little bit when dealing with a spice expert like Yashan Ryo. It was difficult, but if it was more than others, Ye Shanliang was tortured by Li Wei in turn. After all, everyone has what they are good at and what they are not good at.The tactical strategy is correct, but the battle of cooking skills is the 18 kinds of unavoidable battles. It is difficult to defeat the opponent by playing tricks.

"There are so many flavors of curry. There are only so many Asian curries, and this is the result of not including European flavors. And the definition of spices is also very broad, just like garlic is also a kind of spice, And curry dishes themselves are a very broad concept, if you just focus on curry rice, you will definitely die miserably." Nao Sadazuka flipped through the materials, but she was full of confidence, and she was very confident about the upcoming preliminaries. No worries.

However, she does have the capital of self-confidence. She holds the notes left by various powerhouses in the golden age of Jixingliao, the professional notes of Shio Jianjun, and the teachings of the monster master. If she still can't If he was a budding figure, Nao Sadazuka felt like he could buy a piece of tofu and kill him.

"The range of curry is not defined, that is to say, any curry dish is acceptable, but this is just a trap. Because the range is too broad, you will get lost in countless choices if you are not careful, which is a difficult choice. It is the greatest malice of the sick."

"Then what should we do next, teacher? Should we start with traditional curry rice or choose a new dish, such as curry meat or curry fish?"

"The combinations of curry are endless. Depending on the type of spices and the difference in operation methods, tens of thousands of different flavors can be matched. Now, I plan to start with the common mixes, and it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive if I go directly to the original. And you may not be able to get the answers you want. A full set of innovations can only be completed after understanding the existing knowledge. After all, the taste of curry is like a wild horse that is difficult to tame, so start with the simple.”

The endless training like hell started again. The training in Jixingliao has always been so strict. Although there is no risk of dropping out like a dormitory training, all kinds of tossing can make people's brain hurt. , so everyone will complete the training task as much as possible, and through collective efforts, the Jixingliao forces have matched five new flavors, and if they are changed on this basis, more than a hundred different flavors can even be derived.

But this is still not enough. Jixingliao does not need simple excellence. What Jixingliao wants is absolute "domination" and crushing, so this level of cooking is not enough, everyone needs to go all out. The opponent is defeated.After trying again and again, and failing again and again, just when everyone was going numb, the new ingredients were finally matched.

"Finally completed, Jixingliao's must-kill mystery, 'Siwei Spicy Noodles', I didn't expect that green peppercorns would make a contribution in the end. If it wasn't for that small mistake, I don't know how long it would take to find this match." Li Wei sighed, everyone was exhausted recently, even he felt mentally exhausted, but the efforts paid off. This time, the "Four Flavor Spicy Noodles" is based on the spice accumulation of Chinese cuisine, supplemented by Blended with the essence of European curry powder.

The taste of this special mala powder can be changed by adding various accessories according to the needs. It is like a slime with an indeterminate body. It can continuously change its shape according to the external framework. It can be said that it is extremely The dishes of the ten participants in Xingliao are all rooted in this special spicy noodles. The spicy noodles that can match thousands of flavors only show ten branches, which is just the tip of the iceberg.

The result of this time is the "public property" of Jixingliao, so everyone has the right to use it freely, but the matching secret recipe cannot be leaked, but no one will think about leaking their own killing secrets. That's it.However, considering that Mizuo Ang under Eizan Eejin is a "spy master", this special "spicy powder" is made by Li Wei and Isshiki, and then distributed to everyone, and this The matching materials of the secret recipe are locked in the basement library of the dormitory, as a gift package for future juniors.

"But I feel that this period of time has been lack of sleep, and there is still the last day. I feel that I need to make up for sleep." Yoshino Yuki already has a salty expression on his face, and Marui Zenji has long since turned gray. .
