Eternal food paradise

"Baoshan Feilong Pot".

According to Xia Yan's memory and understanding, it consists of three parts: "soup", "mountain delicacies" and "meatballs".

For the "meatballs" part, due to the restriction of only using local materials, we changed from shrimp meatballs to pork and pig meatballs.

Xia Yan put the casserole on the earthen stove, but did not rush to light the fire. Instead, he circled around the huge wild boar carcass with great interest. Tatsugoro, who was wiping his samurai sword, saw this and stood up and asked, "Do you need my help?" ?”

Xia Yan shook his head, glanced at the fatal wound of the wild boar, clicked his tongue, and shook his head again, "In this case, 'bloodletting' or something like that is no longer possible."

For dead pigs, it is obviously impossible to reverse the process and go back to slaughtering and bleed along the way.

He pointed at Tatsugoro who had already walked over, pointed at the area on the wild boar's back, and gestured:

"Cut off this part of the meat for me."

Tatsugoro was confused, "Only here? What about the others?"

"right."

"Here, it's called 'tenderloin'. It's the same thing as pork and cattle. It's the tenderest meat in livestock. No matter how you cook it, it won't taste too bad."

After delineating the ingredients for the "meatballs", Xia Yan clapped his hands and returned to the campfire. He began to take a knife and carefully processed some mushrooms, such as making "cross knives" on the umbrella surface. They were easy to cook and easy to cook. Delicious.

The female treasure hunter Sarah acted as a commentator and cook during this process.

Xia Yan listened to her talk about how certain mushrooms were processed and eaten by people from other worlds. It was considered a lesson to increase her knowledge of ingredients from other worlds. At the same time, her experience bar continued to increase.

With such visible learning gains, Xia Yan listened carefully and slowed down the process, without feeling any boredom in his heart.

"Okay, 'Elven Mushrooms' are one of the few 'mountain delicacies' that can be eaten directly by throwing them into a pot and boiling them in water. No wonder they became the staple food of the elven civilization in the past. "

At this time, the sun has almost sunk below the horizon, and the sky is changing from dusk to night.

There was a bonfire in the center of the camp, and there were lanterns taken out by the 'Great Sage' Aldorius with a wave of his hand on several rocks. The light source was now fully sufficient, illuminating the nearby area as bright as day.

boom!

The casserole was filled with "mountain delicacies" and placed on the earth stove again.

The 'Great Sage' and 'Admiral', who had been waiting eagerly for a long time, found that the ingredients in the pot were neatly arranged, including at least six or seven kinds of mushrooms and wild vegetables.

Stacked layer by layer.

Long strips, umbrella-shaped, cut into strips, and sliced ​​at the bottom.

Although there are many ingredients, it gives people a neat and beautiful first impression, rather than the bad visual experience of a big pot of stew.

"Hey, this is what is called presentation, right?"

Aldorius, who has been a loyal guest of the 'Cat House' since the first generation, immediately pointed out the "rules" of arranging and stacking in the pot. In fact, it is not a secret. This is a basic course that any Totsuki student must learn.

"Plate presentation?"

After taking back the bloody pork pieces with ribs, Tatsugoro stopped and looked suspicious.

The 'Admiral' who was sitting not far from Aldorius couldn't help but be confused. He glared and said dissatisfiedly: "Aldorius, just finish what you want to say! Don't just say half of it!"

As for the female treasure hunter Sarah Gerdo, among these old people in the Cat House with terrifying resumes, she couldn’t be more new. Strictly speaking, she has not been dining in the Cat House for more than a month.

Therefore, Sarah was also very curious about plate arrangement and so on: "Is this the terminology and noun of 'cooking class' mentioned by Manager Xia?"

Well.

She suddenly realized that the title "Manager Xia" was leaking important information about her employer. She immediately covered her mouth and gave Xia Yan a look of apology.

Aldorius seemed not to have heard, and continued to smile calmly, explaining:

"The first generation of Cat House once specifically told me the lesson of 'plating'."

"He said that in Western restaurants and Western food houses, regardless of whether the food can be delicious or not, they must at least achieve a certain level of 'presentation'."

“The more noble and elegant it is, the more attractive it is.”

Xia Yan complained, what nonsense are you talking about? In modern restaurant management, it is not just Western food. The aroma of wine is also afraid of the deep alley. If you don't do enough "skin bag" work, you won't even be able to attract customers.

Gulu, Gulu!

Red-hot charcoal and firewood were added to the earthen stove, and the water inside the casserole gradually began to make a boiling sound.

"This is cooking soup!" "

Taking Tatsugoro's cut pork tenderloin to the stream and washing away the blood, Xia Yan skipped the steps of plucking and roasting the pig hair, took out a shiny long knife, and cut off the skin, fat, and skin. come out.

He only wanted the lean meat of the wild boar, not a trace of fat.

Next, chop the flesh with a knife.

chop!

Boom, boom, boom!

The wooden chopping board was placed on the neat stones. Xia Yan held two swords, and his arms were so fast that only afterimages were left.

Witness this scene.

The Great Sage, who was still calmly telling Sarah, Tatsugoro, and Alphonse the story of the first generation of "distribution", glanced over, and his words suddenly stopped.

Sarah, Tatsugoro, and Alphonse also lost their voices for a while.

"He doesn't look like a gourmet at all." Alphonse, the famous sea monster killer and the 'Admiral' of the Principality, had strong surprise in his eyes, "I believe you when you say he is a swordsman!"

Everyone present, among ordinary people, has a collective title - [Professional].

So, from their perspective.

Naturally, it can be seen that such a 'knife skill' that combines speed and precision is completely different from the ordinary kitchen knife skills. If the object of the knife is not a piece of dead meat, but a living person or monster, the power will be incredible. Look down on!

What's more.

The "long knife" in Xia Yan's hand is more delicate and sharp than ordinary kitchen utensils, and it is extraordinary.

"In my hometown, the Western Continent, there is a country of sand, where there are many swordsmen. Their weapons are scimitars." Tatsugoro suddenly said.

Sarah Gerdo cast an expectant look at the ‘Great Sage’ Aldorius:

"Your Excellency the Great Sage."

"That first generation must have mastered similar 'sword skills', or even more powerful. He is a powerful swordsman and professional in his own right?"

Hearing this, Aldorius' lips trembled.

He didn't know how to respond to the female treasure hunter's expectations.

I don't know what to answer at all.

In fact, that first generation was an ordinary person? Ordinary?

In any case, the successive chefs and store managers of Nekoya have never been able to hold long knives of astonishing size and use them, which were unanimously judged as "terrifyingly powerful" by Tatsugoro and Alphonse, two warrior-type professionals. Magical knife skills.

at the same time.

Aldorius also had great doubts about his already firm judgment, "Is this young boy right?"

"He's the new chef at Cat House... right?"

Xia Yan is here.

Chop the lean wild boar meat into fine pieces, then continue to chop some delicious mushrooms, mix the two pieces of minced puree in a stainless steel mixing bowl, and then sprinkle with seasonings.

Well, just use that formula.

Xia Yan thought.
