Shiji Starts from the Beginning of the Month

"Hey, old man, I finally offered to help, but you actually doubt me. Besides, if it comes to fine manipulation, I should be able to do it. Of course, you still need to do the ratio of the materials."

Jiang Xia said a little unhappy that Kawashige Saburo's view of Jiang Xia is not much different from Jiang Xia's view of him. Sometimes, people with the same personality can often become friends.

The requirements for being friends are different from those for being lovers. The former requires the same or similar personalities, while the latter values ​​complementarity.

Jiang Xia wanted to help the old man realize his dream, to change the 31 recipes into 32 recipes. This kind of thing is very similar to Jiang Xia's goal.

Jiang Xia's goal is still that one, he wants to reach the pinnacle of cuisine and make that divine cuisine.

Since the old man clearly has the possibility of being close to success, Jiang Xia doesn't mind helping him.

"That's fine, I'll configure the ratio, and you will do the frying and boiling."

Shigezaburo Oikawa didn't refuse any more, he directly dragged Jiang Xia into his special laboratory, and began to try to improve the 32nd recipe, sweet and spicy sauce.

After Jiang Xia personally participated, she realized that the work of configuration was rather boring compared to production.

The old man Ji Chuan repeatedly handed various materials to Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia fried and boiled them according to the time required by him, and finally got a pot of samples.

After tasting the samples, Jiang Xia told the old man his opinion.

The old man listened to his opinion and continued to fine-tune the ratio of chili and sweet sauce, and then passed the ingredients to Jiang Xia for making.

The above process was carried out repeatedly, and Jiang Xia even forgot the time in the old man's relatively closed laboratory.

"Old man, if the chili taste is too strong, can we boil the chili first, then take out the boiled chili and use it, so that the taste can be properly diluted."

In a certain attempt, Jiang Xia put forward his own opinion.

"This, it seems that you can try it."

Oikawa thought for a while, and felt that what Jiang Xia said seemed somewhat feasible, so the two continued to try to dilute the taste of chili.

It's just that the taste of the boiled chili this time has indeed become lighter, but the taste has also become much worse.

"The idea is okay, but the problem of taste is not easy to solve."

Oikawa concluded that the ingredients softened due to cooking, resulting in the disappearance of the crunchy feeling in the final product.

"No, if it's because of this problem, we should change boil to hot."

Jiang Xia thought of a way, and said to the old man Ji Chuan beside him.

"hot?"

Shigesaburo Oikawa understood Jiang Xia's thoughts after hearing Jiang Xia's words, but in Oikawa's view, this step was difficult.

"In this way, you need to have a very accurate grasp of the timing, and how many times you burn it, and how long each time is, you need a lot of attempts."

The number of attempts like this should not be less than the proportion of the old man's configuration of materials, because the old man still has some taste formulas that can be applied. Jiang Xia's words are purely on his own.

However, Jiang Xia is not an ordinary player. In terms of basic skills, he has a system bonus. To achieve this, it is not difficult for him.

"I want to try it out!"

Jiang Xia expressed her opinion.

Chapter 118 Changes in Ingredients

"Since you think it's feasible, let's try it!"

Seeing Jiang Xia's insistence, the old man Ji Chuan also nodded in agreement with Jiang Xia's proposal. After all, in terms of cooking, Jiang Xia is much higher than him, and if this problem is really solved, his research this time can be regarded as Complete success!

At that time, he and Chuan's name may be tied with Aunt Tao as the world's top two condiment producers!

The first word, there should be no hope in this life, alas, this is what the Chinese people say, since Tao is born, He Shengchuan!

Hot peppers, if you like to eat chicken feet with pickled peppers, and you know a little bit about the production process of white peppers, you should know this technique.

Fresh green peppers are picked, cleaned and removed, scalded with boiling water, and then taken out and exposed to the sun, the peppers will turn white, that is, white peppers.

Blanching is the most critical step. The process of scalding directly determines the flavor of the final white pepper. If you want a rich flavor, you need to scald less times, and if you want a milder taste, you need to scald more times.

However, the hot time should not be too long each time, otherwise the peppers will become soft. At this time, if they are placed in the sun, the finished product will wrinkle and taste bad.

Jiang Xia is not going to make white peppers, but he wants to use this method to weaken the bitterness and spiciness of the original green peppers, so that the sweet and spicy flavors can be blended more perfectly.

Because of too many experiments, the fresh green peppers in the warehouse were all used up, so the old man temporarily ran to the farm behind him to pick a wave.

Fortunately, it is autumn. Under the natural farming mode, peppers are crops that are planted in spring and harvested in autumn. This season happens to be the harvest season of peppers.

"Jiang Xia boy, after finishing this wave, I don't have any more stock. If I want to experiment again, I have to buy it. I guess it will take a few days. Are you sure you can do it all at once?"

Old man Oi Chuan came in with a basket of green peppers, and asked nervously.

Although he has planted a lot of crops for condiment, the acreage of green peppers is not too much, and, in addition, he used too much before.

So, he picked all the rest, and only got such a small basket of peppers.

This small town is not a small town maintained by farming. It is mainly a light handicraft industry model, that is, a town where people who make small handicrafts gather.

Oichuan's family is really the only farmer in the town.

Therefore, if you want to purchase, you still need to go to a farm far away and go back and forth. It is estimated that you will have to wait for two days. For those who are only one step away from success, the two-day waiting time is simply torture.

It's like the mentality that students have when they are waiting for their final exam results.

"Don't worry, it should be possible. Anyway, if you don't try the hot method now, you have no other way."

Jiang Xia said to Oi Chuan old man.

"Indeed, then I'll leave it to you."

Oi Chuan handed Jiang Xia a basket of peppers. The peppers in the basket had been washed quickly, and the stalks of the peppers were removed, leaving the ring of caps under the stalks.

Jiang Xia nodded involuntarily. It seems that the old man Ji Chuan is not completely ignorant of cooking. He removes the stem but not the cap, so as to ensure that the water will not pour in when the pepper is hot.

If it is poured backwards, the internal gas will be squeezed out by the boiling water, so that the internal and external pressures will be the same. In this way, the effect of blanching and lightening the spicy taste will be lost instead!

Jiang Xia took a deep breath, and his expression became more dignified than ever. Although he has superb cooking skills, this time, what he wants to grasp is the change from taste to heat.

That is to say, based on the taste of the condiment he just tasted, he has to deduce the concentration that needs to be achieved, and then deduce the time and frequency of blanching.

Jiang Xia doesn't have the tongue of God, he is far less sensitive to taste than Erina.

If that little girl was here, Jiang Xia felt that her confidence should be much greater, but now, she can only rely on herself.

Jiang Xia carefully recalled the previous flavors, trying to turn the illusory perception into intuitive data, such as the degree of spiciness, the duration of the spiciness, and the degree of softness and crunchiness.

In the eyes of the old man Oi Chuan, Jiang Xia seemed to be stupid, standing in front of the pot with his eyes closed, motionless.

Damn, he couldn't be mad, right?Oikawa once heard that a very small number of people, in the process of improving their cooking skills, will suffer severe mental trauma due to various reasons and become crazy and stupid.

The old man Oikawa was a little flustered, Jiang Xia couldn't become stupid with him, you know, since Jiang Xia could find him, he should be someone that the old guy Senzaemon valued very much.

Maybe it's because he wanted Jiang Xia to join Nakiri's house, Oikawa thought with a bit of a naughty taste.

However, according to Jiang Xia's character, he probably wouldn't marry into a family.

It seemed that he was thinking a little bit wrongly, and Oikawa came back to his senses, and was about to wake up Jiang Xia who had fallen into an unknown state.

"Hey, little..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xia suddenly moved.

Skillfully fill the wok with water, and directly adjust the firepower to the maximum. The water in the wok will boil quickly under the action of high temperature!

Using a colander to scoop up fresh green chilies in the basket, Jiang Xia slides the spoon sideways into the scalding water.

As time passed, it can be seen that the color of the surface of the pepper is in the middle of the water, and it becomes slightly lighter, just as the surface of the pepper is slightly sunken.

Jiang Xia directly took out the chili peppers in the middle of the pot, scalded them for the first time, and it took half a minute to finish.

Next, Jiang Xia continued to slide the pepper in the spoon into the water in the same way as before, back and forth, a total of five times.

"All right."

With the green pepper out of the water for the last time, Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and said confidently that he had a hunch that he would succeed this time, because his state just now was very mysterious.

The chili in the middle of the spoon became extremely clear in his field of vision, and he could even feel the changes of each chili in the pot.

This kind of perception has obviously gone beyond the scope of normal human beings. Is this the world of Shiji + Zhonghua Yiyi? It is really terrifying!

"Is that all right?"

Ji Chuan looked at Jiang Xia's operation in a daze. Didn't this kid just put the chili pepper into the boiling water and pick it up, then put it in again, and then pick it up again?

He didn't even use the stopwatch commonly used in Sakura Country, isn't he really playing me?

The old man Ji Chuan was a little unacceptable, mainly because if he was to believe that Jiang Xia was precisely controlling the hot time by relying on his own feelings, it would be too unscientific!

The old man took the hot chili with suspicion, and started the next step of making seasoning.

He and Jiang Xia have gone through those steps countless times, so they are naturally very familiar with them.

Soon, the final version of the sweet and spicy seasoning, which will never be changed this time, was changed again, and the production was finally completed!

Chapter 119 The Real Way

Jiang Xia and Oi Chuan looked at each other, looking at the final version on the table together.

"Jiang Xia boy, tell me, we will succeed this time, right?"

Oi Chuan's tone was trembling, and there was excitement and nervousness in it. Anyone who has failed so many times will feel frustrated and hit.

No way, someone would have tried thousands of materials for light bulbs by himself. It was a feat achieved by countless people successively over the past few decades.

No matter how strong a researcher's heart is, after experiencing more than a hundred failures, the pressure he endured is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Not only doubts about his own theory, but also ridicule from peers and the outside world.

The same is true for old man Oi Chuan. He wants to make the 32nd formula, so why not face the doubts of others, otherwise, he would not have to leave Yuanyue to come to such a remote place.

That's right, Jiang Xia had already noticed this, when Yuanyue made an exception to admit Old Man Hechuan, obviously because he recognized his talent.

Then if this old man chooses to stay in Yuanyue, he won't even be able to find someone to help taste the taste.

There is only one conclusion. At that time, most people in Yuanyue were not optimistic about the old man's research direction, so the old man chose to leave in a fit of anger, wanting to prove himself.

"Do not worry."
