Food That Doesn't Glow is Not Good Food

According to Xie Yunfei's estimation, just for this step, he may spend two to three days. If he is unlucky, he may be trapped in the maze for the next week.

Fortunately, Xie Yunfei is not fighting alone, and there is a four-star special chef standing beside him.

Although she is a severely rotten girl, Feifei's cooking skills are not the slightest moisture. Unlike the spiced tea eggs he decided to make, the girl chose to attract other Kroes - bacon.

Chili, black peppercorns, salt, sugar, cinnamon, fennel, cumin, light soy sauce, cooking wine, and garlic...

Grind it finely to form a slightly viscous sauce, mix it with pork, stir evenly, put it in a refrigerator that does not need to use electricity for several hours to marinate, then take the prepared fruit wood, put it Underneath the inside of the container specially used for bacon, add an iron shelf in the middle, and put marinated pork on it.Finally, a stove is placed at the bottom of the container, and a flame is lit to heat the fruit wood in the container.

Similar to the five-spice tea eggs made by Xie Yunfei, Feifei's bacon takes a long time to complete.

During the blank period of waiting, the two started cooking other dishes at the same time.Xie Yunfei is here with his special golden ratio siu mai, five-color salad, sweet-and-smelt pork, fried beef balls, etc., which have not been on the menu of the shop for the time being. Feifei chooses to cook a wider variety of dishes, such as Huaxia cuisine. , Chinese dim sum, western food, barbecue...

I don't know if it's Xie Yunfei's illusion, but unlike his all luminous and special-grade dishes, none of Feifei's cooking has reached the luminous level, and even the special-grade dishes are very rare.

But how is this possible? The girl standing by the stove is a four-star special chef!

Seemingly seeing his doubts, Feifei who had just finished a dish smiled slightly. She didn't explain, but just picked up a plate of barbecue meat that she had made earlier, and put it in front of Xie Yunfei.

"Try it."

Xie Yunfei didn't doubt that he was there, so he took the chopsticks, and after a little hesitation, he took the gold he had cooked with a smile, "This is a gift in return."

"Thank you." Feifei pursed her lips.Different from Xiaoyun who has a distasteful personality, the girl sitting in front of Xie Yunfei is indeed a lady after removing the attribute of a rotten girl. Beautiful picture scroll.

Taking a bite of the edge of the fried bun, Feifei covered her mouth with a surprised expression flashing across her face, "This is?!"

Almost at the same time Feifei spoke, Xie Yunfei, who was sitting opposite her, stood up abruptly.

Chapter 182 Perfect Cooking

Just now, he tasted the barbecue dish made by Feifei.

The grilled meat melts in the mouth, but it doesn't feel greasy at all. The taste of spices such as star anise and cinnamon floats in the mouth, and perfectly blends with the sauce on the surface of the grilled meat, pushing the deliciousness of the whole dish to a very high level—this It was Xie Yunfei's first feeling.But after careful recollection, he showed an extremely strange expression.

Seriously, the degree of completion of the barbecue is not high, and there are many areas for improvement in the heat, knife skills, and even the use of spices.

But after simulating the taste of the improved cooking in his mind, Xie Yunfei couldn't help frowning.After his improved barbecue, the degree of completion may be one or two points higher, and the taste will be better, but it is definitely not like the plate of barbecue in front of him, so that he can completely sink into it.

Yes, Xie Yunfei likes the barbecue in front of him, very much.

It's like a dish specially prepared according to his taste... Wait!specialized?modulation?

"Are you the chef Xiaoyun said was going astray?" Xie Yunfei looked at Feifei, and his tone of question was very certain.

Xiaoyun once mentioned that there is a chef in Huaxia who is in a somewhat similar situation to Xie Yunfei.The chef will fine-tune cooking techniques or seasonings and spices according to the taste of the diners during the cooking process, so as to complete the dishes that satisfy the diners most.

Obviously, what Xiaoyun was talking about was the girl sitting in front of her at this time, that is, Lan Feiyu!

Xie Yunfei showed a dazed expression.

And Fifi...

She was also surprised by Xie Yunfei's golden smile, but she shook her head after hearing the words, "You made a mistake, or Xiaoyun didn't make it clear to you." Back on the plate, Feifei pointed at Xie Yunfei, and then at herself, "Your improvements to the dishes, and my fine-tuning of the dishes according to the tastes of the diners, are essentially no different from the cooking methods of other chefs. Naturally, it’s not a misguided way. In fact, the concept of misguided chefs has only become popular in recent years. I don’t know about other countries and regions, but in China, only the food research institutes that really agree with this concept Part of the special chef."

"Can you be more specific?" Xie Yunfei frowned. He didn't know the situation in Huaxia, and many news were relayed by Xiaoyun.

But in this way, a lot of information will naturally carry Xiaoyun's opinion, which will cause Xie Yunfei's misunderstanding and make him make wrong judgments.

Maybe it was because she met a similar 'similar', or maybe it was just to give Xie Yunfei some sweetness, so that he finally agreed to become her assistant. Facing the question of the young man in front of her, Feifei did not refuse to answer.She sorted out her thoughts for a while, and then opened her mouth, "Speaking of which, do you know the classification of dishes? Of course, it is not the classification method of luminous, special, and must-kill dishes in the food research institute, but according to the chef's cooking habits. Classification carried out."

Seeing that Yunfei shook his head, Feifei grinned, "That's right, you've been here in Japan all along, and you haven't received the education of a Chinese chef, and the six-star special chef Luo Tianci who adopted you is also a person who doesn't care about these concepts." chef."

"Actually..." Feifei paused slightly, she pointed to the dozen or so dishes Xie Yunfei put not far away, and at the same time revealed the truth, "The dishes you cook are the same as the dishes I made, so seriously count them , are not really luminous dishes, special dishes!"

"How is it possible?!" After being a chef for two months, someone now reconciles Xie Yunfei by telling him that the dishes he has been cooking all along are not even considered special grade. How can he believe this?

But Feifei didn't care, "The dishes you made, to be precise, should be 'improved dishes', that is, to change the structure and steps of the original recipes, so as to make the dishes more delicious."

As she spoke, she pointed to herself again, "My situation is similar to yours. The dishes I cook are 'personal dishes', that is, dishes specially made for one person."

"In China a hundred years ago, these two kinds of cuisines were very popular. 'Personal cuisine' often appeared in the banquets of some rich people or nobles. Physical condition or personality preference, or, in other words, only chefs who can do this, are qualified to cook 'personal cuisine'."

Xie Yunfei nodded after listening, he remembered a certain villain who only appeared in the comics of "Zhonghua Yiyi" - that is a chef from France, he is the cook of this kind of 'personal cuisine', a dish of fried rice with seafood , Leng is to make five different flavors according to the preferences of the judges.

"I believe you also know the history of a hundred years ago. Strong enemies are waiting for you, and there are constant internal worries. It is under such an environment that the chefs in the Chinese culinary world have developed many excellent dishes. Wu family's flame dumplings, sea dragon dumplings, Liu family's giant panda magic mapo tofu, Shenglong dumplings, Tang family's shark fin sausage... Of course, there are Xie family's golden ratio siu mai and golden open smile, these dishes are endless With one exception, they can all be classified into the category of "improved cuisine". If the concept of "improved cuisine" is relaxed a bit, Bai Luo's soul-rescue buns, soul-relief noodles, and recipes brought out from the palace by our ancestors , as well as popular dishes from all over the world, can be counted among them.”

Feifei said, seeing the young man sitting across from her frowning, she guessed what the other person was thinking, and continued to explain, "According to my grandfather, 'improved cuisine' dates back to ancient times, when humans just It has appeared after learning to use flames to grill food, but that time is too long. During this period, the dishes improved by chefs or ordinary people have evolved into the so-called "orthodox cuisine" after generations of ancestors. , but it’s not wrong for the food research institute to do so. After all, those diners and ordinary chefs really don’t need to know so many things, and those who really need to apply this knowledge are you and me who have become special chefs, or will inevitably become special chefs in the future. Someone who will become a special chef."

Xie Yunfei was not delighted by Feifei's praise. Combined with the system's ratings, he probably understood what the other party's so-called "improved cuisine" was all about.The purple recipes and golden recipes in the systematic review should be clearly defined as "improved cuisine", but with a broader definition, all recipes except white recipes can be regarded as "improved cuisine".

But in this way...

Chapter 183 Perfect Cooking (Part [-])

Xie Yunfei frowned, and did not rush to ask out the doubts in his heart.He glanced at Lan Feiyu who was sitting opposite him, and waited for the girl to solve Jin Jin with a smile.

Feifei seems to have long been used to being noticed, and her movements are as elegant as ever.He picked up the gold and smiled, and bit down again along the marks left by the previous white teeth.The next second, Feifei smiled, "Sure enough, you have gone farther than me on the road of 'improvement'."

"According to the records uploaded by my ancestors, Golden Smile can be said to be a relatively complicated category among many 'improved dishes'. After all, even if other dishes are improved, it is within the range that ordinary chefs can understand, or the ingredients can be changed. , or change the angle of the knife, or pay more attention to the appearance." Feifei looked at Xie Yunfei, "But Huang Jin's smile is different. It uses a lot of knowledge that ordinary chefs are not good at, even if someone can understand it. However, the high-end skills of fire and pastry used in the cooking process will become another mountain that hinders their progress."

Feifei spoke very highly of Xie Yunfei's golden smile - although the dish in front of her was just a special pastry.

"However..." Unlike other chefs, Feifei's ancestor, the nine-star special chef Lan Feihong, has a pretty good relationship with the eight-star special chef Jie Qi. I have also tasted this dish dozens of times, so I have a very detailed record of every detail of Jin's smile.

Because of this, Feifei, as a descendant, discovered a problem that other special chefs did not realize when tasting the golden smile made by Xie Yunfei——

"This golden smile is just a semi-finished product?" Feifei frowned and asked softly.
