They Gather Here

Ye Shanliang's technique was quite sophisticated, Luo Zhen watched from the side, and couldn't help nodding.

Many people feel that learning the use of spices is too cumbersome, esoteric, and difficult to start with.

In fact, no matter how chaotic things are, there is an internal context, and as long as we grasp the mainstream of that context, everything will become clear.

For example, the proportion principle of "jun, minister, assistant, and envoy" in the use of spices, and the method of changing the ratio according to different ingredients, etc., are actually different routes to the same goal, and they are all for the final effect of coordination and balance.

In this regard, China's thirteen spices, French Provence spices, and Italian spices are the best.

Only by mastering these three kinds of comprehensive spices can we innovate again.

Just thinking about this, Luo Zhen was suddenly pulled by Chitanda.

"Someone is here," the girl said.

Luo Zhen followed the opponent's fingers and looked over.

The person who came was a woman in a white coat, with a petite figure and a young face, with cute attributes such as ponytail and glasses, she looked like a junior high school student.

But every prospective chef should know that this person is named "Jun Shiomi", who invented the method of planting spices and long-term preservation methods, often appears in food magazines, and is known as "the authority on spices".

She appeared to have come out of an adjoining lounge.

Fei Shazi greeted: "Professor Xi Jian."

Xijian Jun hurriedly returned the salute, then cast his eyes on Luo Zhen and Chitanda, showing a coy smile.

After the two sides introduced themselves, she said: "I heard that you want to borrow spices, and I will help."

Luo Zhen cut to the chase: "I need Piper sarsaparilla, fresh cattle..."

"You said the same thing."

"Smilax."

"It's a very rare requirement."

"Excuse me."

Xi Jianjun nodded, moved a chair, and was about to step on it, and get down from the highest shelf to get the smilax.

Ye Shanliang gave a soft "tsk" and came over to help.

He is taller, so he is much more relaxed than Xi Jianjun. He stretched out his hands and took off a small test tube without using a chair: "15g, should it be enough?"

It seemed that his student's tone was a bit aggressive, and Xi Jianjun quickly explained: "The nature of the material of Piper smilax makes its dosage need to be controlled when it is used. Generally speaking, in a group of mixed spice formulas, Piper smilax is located in the position of the ingredient. , the dosage should not be too much."

Luo Zhen nodded, expressing his understanding.

On the contrary, it was Erina who curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "Professor Xijian can rest assured that Xiaozhen is a Michelin-level professional chef and will not make such low-level mistakes."

Jun Xijian pushed up his glasses in surprise.

Ye Shanliang paused obviously, and looked back at Luo Zhen with scrutiny in his eyes.

Luo Zhen scratched his head: "15g is not enough, because the amount is relatively large."

"15g is not enough?" Ye Shanliang frowned, "Do you know the ratio of materials?"

“当然知道，砂仁、莳萝、辣椒、胡椒、荜菝，五者之间的比例应该是3：3：2：2：1。”

"Is this the ratio of fish soup?"

"Yes."

"15g of Piper smilax can cook at least 10 catties of fish. Do you use such a precious spice to make a big pot of rice?"

"Any seasonings and spices are for diners to eat."

Ye Shanliang frowned.

Xi Jianrun was considered his adoptive mother, so of course he knew what this expression meant, so he couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

She coughed, walked to the warehouse next to the lounge, and took out a jar from it, which was a bit like the kind that contained calcium tablets.

"That's sure enough," she said.

Luo Zhen: "Too many."

Ye Shanliang: "Run, there's no need to please them."

This sounds a bit harsh.

Chitanda was a little angry, but was pulled back by Luo Zhen.

Erina didn't have such a good temper, folded her arms and said, "Hayama, do you want the 'Shiomi Research Association' to follow in the footsteps of the 'Sumo Wrestlers Hot Pot Research Association' or the 'Donburi Research Association'?"

This sentence successfully hit Ye Shanliang's weakness.

With a face full of reconciliation, he let out the word "huh—" from his nose, and then climbed down from the chair.

Yuanyue's students are more or less self-confident, otherwise it would be impossible for them to have such nicknames as "God's Nose" and "God's Tongue".

Luo Zhen could understand, so he waved his hand indifferently to Erina, signaling not to interrupt.

Then, he went on to blast demand.

Oregon, fresh marjoram, kaempferia, angelica, woody...

Jun Xijian was very familiar with his own warehouse, so he prepared a bunch of bottles and jars in a blink of an eye and put them in a small box.

Finally, Ye Shanliang couldn't take it anymore.

He looked at Luo Zhen and said with a fighting spirit: "I want to challenge you."

"Provocative?" Erina raised an eyebrow, "I don't know how high the sky is!"

"It's not a provocation, it's a challenge."

"madness."

"I know that the 'Michelin Chef Level' mentioned by Yuanyue Shijie's tenth table 'God's Tongue' must not be a joke, but I just refuse to accept it."

Erina was even angrier.

She and Chitanda clamped Luo Zhen on the left and right, like two gate gods.

But Ye Shanliang didn't even look at them, with a rebellious expression on his face.

Luo Zhen couldn't help scratching his head, looked at Erina, and smiled narrowly: "Eri, you, the last of the top ten, seem to have no authority, you can't even cure an ordinary student."

Erina blushed.

As a result, Ye Shanliang's face was redder than hers, which was more difficult on curry skin.

"I'm not an ordinary student," he said.

Embarrassed in front of Xiaozhen, Erina got angry and said directly: "Ya Shan, I will launch the food halberd for you in the name of the tenth seat of Yuanyue Ten Heroes, if..."

Before she finished speaking, she was held back by Luo Zhen.

The girl showed a puzzled expression.

Luo Zhen smiled and shook his head: "Eri, there's no need to be angry."

"But……"

"He challenged me Yu Nu Wu Gua, I don't accept it, isn't that all right?"

"..."

"..."

There was a long silence.

Then, Erina burst out laughing "Puff!"——

This guy Xiaozhen is too bad, but I just like the other person's "you don't like it, but you just can't do anything to me" and cheap expression.

Ye Shanliang's face turned redder, like a diseased pig's liver, completely purple.

At this moment, Xi Jianrun said: "Mr. Luo, I implore you to accept Mr. Liang's challenge. This will be a good experience for him."

Pity the parents of the world.

Luo Zhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Then I accept it as a thank you gift for taking the spices from Professor Xijian."

He turned around and looked at Ye Shanliang: "We don't need to eat halberds. After all, the people here are either related to you or me. Picking out three judges may cause unfairness."

Ye Shanliang originally wanted to say, "I don't know where you are, but Run will definitely not be partial", but in the end he held it back.

He walked to the lounge: "Give me 40 minutes."

The intention of saying this is obvious, that is, I don't want people to watch the cooking process.

Fei Shazi is also going to participate in the autumn selection. If Ye Shanliang wants to take out the dishes at the bottom of the box, he will naturally have to avoid competitors.

Luo Zhen nodded in understanding.

So Ye Shanliang stepped into the lounge.

Watching his back disappear, Xi Jianjun let out a long breath.

Then, she bowed to Luo Zhen frequently, saying "Thank you!" and "I'm sorry!" again, which made people very embarrassed.

Luo Zhen is a junior on the bright side, so he is ashamed to accept it, so he quickly avoids the other party's front.

He said, "Professor Xijian is too polite."

Seeing that Runjia was not angry, Xi felt relieved: "Mr. Luo looks very young, he should be a high school student, right?"

Luo Zhen nodded perfunctorily, and changed the topic: "Professor Xijian, I have read an article you published on "S**eurs" (French gastronomy magazine), "The Antibacterial Effect and Application of Several Spice Extracts "Research" has already involved biology, chemistry, and nutrition."

Sure enough, as soon as this was mentioned, Xi Jianrun was attracted and talked non-stop.

She talked from "natural spices have antibacterial activity" to "compounding clove, star anise and cinnamon in thirteen spices", the topic kept changing, and half an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, the door of the lounge was pushed open.

In an instant, a strong fragrance lingered in the whole spice laboratory.
