Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Cooperation (Part 2)

Not to mention Xie Yunfei who was choosing ingredients in front of the refrigerator, but on the other side, the old man and Feifei who were in the dining table chatted.

The old man himself seemed to be a very talkative person. Seeing that the cook was the young man not far away, he was a little surprised. He did know that the girl standing at the dining table was a four-star special chef, but that boy had never been ‘over there’.

“The chef…wasn’t you?” the old man asked softly.

Feifei bowed her head, “I need you to wait a little longer for my dishes.”

“Oh?” The old man raised his eyebrows. He pointed to the ‘little’ sitting on the dining table and eating the bacon made by Feifei. “Then what does it eat?”

“Bacon.” Feifei replied with a smile, “It’s just the bacon I specially cooked for it to taste. In terms of taste, it may not satisfy you.”

Although she didn’t wear the uniform of a waiter, at this time, Feifei’s words and deeds made no mistakes. But compared to these, the old man seemed to be more interested in Feifei’s answer. Stretched out his fingers to touch ‘Xiao’ on the shoulder, and after the other party turned his head to look at him, he said, “For the sake of helping you in front of me, let you taste this dish in advance, share it with How about me?”

The old man spoke in a discussing tone.

‘Little’ froze for a moment when he heard the words, and frowned deeply, as if he was really making a choice in his heart. After about a minute or so, the little glutton made a decision. He cut off a corner of the bacon with a smaller knife and fork, and pushed it in front of the old man.

Although he knew the habits of ‘small’ children, the old man was still annoyed when he saw the bacon that was no bigger than a fingernail.

“Next time, don’t try to ask me for help.”

Hearing the old man’s words, Feifei’s face remained calm, but her heart was filled with turmoil.

Can these card-transformed creatures communicate with each other across space? If so…

“Little girl, can I trouble you to bring me a plate of bacon.” The old man’s voice suddenly rang in her ears, waking Feifei up. Seeing the old man looking at her with a smile, she didn’t dare to think too much, but just nodded.

“In terms of taste, it may not match your taste.” As she said this, she turned around, took another piece of bacon, cut it into slices on the kitchen counter for the elderly to eat, and put it on a plate. At the dining table where the old man was.

“Please enjoy.”

“thanks.”

After putting the bacon on the dining table, Feifei stepped aside. ‘Little’ saw another piece of bacon appeared, and was so happy that his saliva flowed out. He was about to pounce on it to declare his sovereignty, but the old man used a technique similar to Xie Yunfei’s before, pinching the back collar with his index finger and thumb and directly lifted it up. to the side.

“This piece is mine.” The old man said with a smile. At the same time, imitating the ‘small’ behavior, he cut off a piece of bacon the size of a fingernail with a knife and fork, and put it on the ‘small’ dinner plate, ” This piece is yours.”

The old naughty boy…

Feifei gave the old man a definition. She is observing the old man’s words and deeds, judging the old man’s character through these external manifestations, and then discovering his taste preference.

Although the old man noticedWhen Feifei came into sight, she didn’t pay attention. Ignoring the dissatisfied ‘little’ on the dining table, he inserted a piece of bacon, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, then his eyes lit up, and he put it in his mouth.

A faint blush appeared on the old man’s face. After all, Feifei is a chef who has passed the examination of a special chef. Even if the bacon in front of her is a personal dish prepared for the taste of “small”, it is enough to be sold as a signature dish by many first-class shops.

“It’s delicious.” The old man commented, and then frowned slightly, “It just feels a little bit worse.” He turned his head and looked at Feifei, “If the full score is 100 points, I will give this dish 70 points, and the remaining 30 points, sorry, I am not a professional gourmet, so I can’t give any more specific evaluations.”

Feifei nodded. Before serving the dishes, she had already guessed the result, “If you are willing to give me a little time, I should be able to serve you more satisfying dishes.”

“I’m looking forward to it.” While speaking, the old man seemed to finally think of Xie Yunfei who was cooking, turned his head, and looked in the direction of the kitchen table…

Because there was only one back view left, the old man couldn’t see clearly what Xie Yunfei was cooking, but Feifei who was at the side showed a troubled expression after seeing the main ingredients on the kitchen table.

Eggs, sea bream, river prawns, clams, oysters, kelp, bonito flowers…

The ingredients that Xie Yunfei prepared were surprisingly simple. After excluding the last two ingredients that were obviously used to make broth, there were only five left.

“Scrambled eggs with shrimp and clam meat? Or fried shrimp? Seafood soup?” Feifei stepped forward and asked Xie Yunfei.

Xie Yunfei shook his head, “Not at all. In fact, the cooking I’m going to cook next is even simpler than the few dishes you mentioned.”

“It’s even simpler…” Feifei repeated Xie Yunfei’s words, and the recipes flashed through her mind. The next second, she suddenly raised her head, “You want egg custard?!”

“To be precise, it’s seafood egg custard.” Xie Yunfei didn’t make a fool of himself. When he spoke, he had already started processing various ingredients.

Boil kombu and bonito flakes in water. Clams and oysters spit out the sand and take the meat. After a little cleaning, use kitchen paper to wipe off the water on the surface. Remove the head and back of the river shrimp, take the shrimp line and make it into a butterfly shape. Put the prepared clams, oysters and river shrimp heads Put it into an iron pot, add water just enough to cover the three, and bake on a low heat to bring out the umami taste of clams and oysters and the prawn yellow in the shrimp head.

Taking advantage of the gap between the two seafood sauces, Xie Yunfei fetched the snapper, removed the scales, picked the bones, took the first half of the fish, put it on the chopping board, beat the fish repeatedly in the same direction with the back of the knife, and then followed the beaten path. Scrape the minced fish in the direction.

Add a little salt, minced ginger, chopped green onion and cooking wine to the minced fish, and stir well.

After completing this step, Xie Yunfei raised his head. The next few steps required two kinds of seafood soup to be boiled before proceeding. But at this moment, the old man who was sitting at the dining table suddenly came to the kitchen table , did not speak, just pointed out as before, and then, in the two pots in front of Xie Yunfei, the soup that was originally transparent was dyed with their respective colors at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not paying attention to the surprised expressions on Xie Yunfei and Feifei’s faces, the old man just smiled lightly, “I can help you speed up all the steps that take time after that.”
