Gourmets in the Heavens

"However, if this kind of training generally requires a lot of physical strength, wouldn't eel and beef be more suitable?"

Asking if you don't understand is also the excellence of Marui Zenji, but in a place like Totsuki Academy, studying like this is showing your weakness and ignorance, and it is also incompatible with this campus.

Fortunately, Zhao Youqian was not a traditional Yuanyue tutor, and after taking a look at him, he showed a smile.

"If it's just two or three days of training, or if it involves whole-body exercise, beef and eel are indeed the most suitable for replenishing physical strength, but Hojo's training doesn't require the whole body to be exercised. Her hard work is more on the arms, wrists and waist."

"Beef and eel are great supplements, but they only restore physical strength, and the effect on relieving fatigue and recovery damage is not significant."

Showing a dazed look, Marui Zenji looked at the crucian carp that Zhao Youqian had already handled.

"So you choose collagen-rich crucian carp as ingredients, as well as pig's trotters and wealth fish, these are all dishes that can restore fatigue and even promote wound healing..."

"If I remember correctly... a lot of them should be used for healing wounds after giving birth to women in Yaozhou, the main ingredients of confinement meals, right?"

Confinement is the recuperation period of one month to forty-two days after childbirth in Yaozhou. During this period, it is provided for the mother to regulate the body and restore the wound. Meals are mainly used to replenish vitality, restore the wound, and strengthen the body. Light, avoid greasy and spicy.

It is the so-called confinement meal.

A stricter concept is that even in the first week of confinement, you can’t even take too much salt, let alone soy sauce. Relying on the taste and nutrition of the ingredients to restore the vitality lost in production is also a kind of Yaozhou. tradition.

Zhao Youqian didn't expect Marui Zenji to even know this relatively unpopular custom in Yaozhou, but he looked at him with admiration.

"Indeed, I used some confinement meals in it. It just so happens that you are training recently, so you can also see how I handle these ingredients!"

"Traditional confinement meals are mainly light and non-greasy, but Hojo is not really confinement. We can relax this a little bit, but we still need to focus on stimulating the efficacy of the ingredients themselves and reduce the later flavor adjustment."

Zhao Yougan moved his hand, and the remaining crucian carp had been separated from their flesh and bones. The knife had only been cut four times across the crucian carp, and the flesh and blood had been completely separated. Marui Zenji also noticed the difference in Zhao Yougan's actions.

Generally speaking, a piece of fish is a whole piece of meat, but when Zhao Yougan started, he seemed to follow the line of the crucian carp's abdomen, and only sliced ​​off the belly, not the back.

"Mr. Zhao, you are..."

He pointed to the crucian carp meat on his back and couldn't help but speak.

"Why don't you want this part of the meat?"

Zhao Youqian smiled.

"The crucian carp has small but many spines, and most of them are in the triangle meat on the back, but it won't be wasted!"

I saw Zhao Youqian changed the knife, removed the head and tail of the crucian carp that had been stripped of the fish meat, cut the fish bone into several sections, and then put it aside.

"These will be fried later, so they won't be wasted. Besides, you have to eat, don't you?"

Then Marui Zenji nodded silently, and while helping Zhao Yougan, he asked why he had to deal with it like this.

Soak soybeans, add kidney beans, and cook with diced and blanched pig's trotters. This is the practice of the famous mother's trotters in Sichuan Province.

As for crucian carp slices, there is no need to put any extra marinating, just a little ginger and white pepper powder, with the boiled white porridge, it is a bowl of fragrant and delicious crucian carp porridge.

The fish meat is also deboned and sliced, served with green and red peppers, served with soy sauce, steamed over high heat, the bones and the head and tail of crucian carp are boiled together, and shredded white radish is added, which is a steamed fish fillet and fish with shredded radish bone broth.

Watching Zhao Youqian easily classify and cook several dishes, and then cross each other, and use different ingredients to overlap the taste and activate the energy in the ingredients, Zenji Marui is like watching a magic.

"Mr. Zhao, you have already reached the special level, right?"

Seeing that it took only a little over an hour, Zhao Youqian had almost finished preparing all the dishes, leaving only the last cooking effort, Marui Zenji finally couldn't help the question that had been lingering in his chest for a long time.

How far is Zhao Youqian from the so-called special chef?

After all, in the eyes of many people, Zhao Youqian, who has passed the three-star assessment, seems to have reached the super level, and even cooked several dishes representing the super level.

Only Zhao Youqian knows that he is actually close to the super class, and there are still some difficult thresholds to pass.

Although he is going to participate in the special-level assessment now, and he does have a chance to pass the corresponding questions, but that kind of special-level chef is still far from the real special-level chef recognized by Yaozhou.

This is also the reason why he is still learning other systems, and even keeps looking at the recipes they collected at Nakiri's house.

He is still a little short of the realm of super-grade vs. ordinary ingredients, which is the most critical point!

Chapter 27 Unwilling to lose evil spirits (recommended votes please!)

"Premium?"

Zhao Youqian couldn't help showing a smile when he heard Marui Zenji's question.

"You know what the definition of a grand chef is?"

With a slight movement in his eyes, Marui Zenji quickly recalled the definition of a super chef in the books and materials, and when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhao Youqian.

"Don't tell me what's written in the book, tell me what you think is the difference between a super chef and a high-star chef who can make quasi-special and super-level cuisine through observation!"

"Think carefully, don't worry and tell me now."

He waved his hand to let Marui Zenji think slowly, Zhao Youqian looked at the time again, the preparations to be done are almost done, crucian carp fish bones are also being marinated, they can be fried at any time, and the rest are just waiting for the pot, pig's trotters The soup is being cooked, and the white rice porridge is also being cooked.

Just when he was thinking about whether to go to see how Miyoko Hojo was doing in training, suddenly a burst of cold air hit, and a voice came from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh?"

Hearing the news that surprised him, Zhao Youqian asked Marui Zenji to watch the fire here, and went directly to the empty hall, when a footstep sounded outside the dormitory.

When he was about to knock on the door, Zhao Youqian had already opened the door.

"It really is you, Huang Quan..."

Having been reminded by Xuenv before, Zhao Youqian came out to see, and indeed it was Isayama Huangquan who came over.
