Shokuki: My daughter is Erina

In the culinary world, soups are generally divided into dashi and yokoshi.

Like bone broth, chicken broth, and broth, all of which are a kind of broth.

If the soup is made with seasonings such as soy sauce, oil, salt, and chicken essence, it is called a horizontal soup.

Whether it's Yokoyu or dashi, each has its own charm, but Fukiyuki knows that there is an extremely rare third soup in this world.

A special soup that is rare in the world even if others know how to make it, it is absolutely impossible to make it simply!

And this soup is respectfully called an old soup by some senior chefs of the Celestial Empire!

............

Blowing Snow glanced at the girls around him, and he patiently explained:

"Old soup is actually strictly speaking, it is also a type of soup stock. "

"But at the level of taste, the distance between the two can be said to be 108,000 miles. "

"Do you know the concept of winemaking?"

"Bury a jar of good wine deep underneath, and the more years pass, the more fragrant the jar will be. "

"Until many years in the past, this jar of wine will completely precipitate into elixir, only need to mix a little diluted wine syrup with ordinary wine, then this ordinary bottle of wine will also produce incredible changes in a short period of time. "

"And the concept of old soup is the same as brewing water!"

..........

"I can make this thing, and I can even make it better, but I can't make this thing, do you know why?"

"Because there's no time!"

.............

Hearing Fuyuki say that she couldn't make the old soup, Erina was really stunned.

But with her father's little by little narration, she finally understood what a great soup the old soup was.

.......

Blowing snow has described before, the concept of old soup is the same as storing wine, the longer it lasts, the deeper its taste, so how did this old soup come out?

In fact, it is very simple, the prototype of the old soup is the broth made from animal bones.

Put the high-quality beef knee bones into a large pot and boil for more than 2 days, so that the beef bone marrow completely penetrates into the soup, and the first step of making the old soup is completed.

But the real difficulty lies in the follow-up.

This pot of beef bone soup can only be used by the chef at most one-third every day, and one-third of the soup is used, and it is absolutely not allowed to be used again.

At this time, the chef needs to remove the beef bones from the cauldron, replace them with fresh bones, and then fill the soup with water, and then continue to boil.

In this way, the infinite cycle continues, and after a long time, this pot of soup stock can be called old soup.

So, how long does it take for a pot of stock to be boiled repeatedly before it can be called old soup?

In fact, here, there is no fixed time limit.

But Fuxue knows very well that in the Celestial Empire region, there are several pots of old soup that have been boiled until now, and it has a history of nearly 100 years.

A pot of old soup, every day to change the new ingredients, the soup can not be used more than one-third, and so on and so on, until ten years, decades, or even hundreds of years, you can imagine how mellow the taste of this pot of soup should be.

..........

If Fukiyuki knew that what he expected was good, the white soup that the girl named Wen Zhongyue added to the soup stock should be an old soup that is at least 10 years old.

Only a little bit of the essence of the old soup is needed, and the umami of a pot of soup stock is enough to enhance the taste several times.

If you explain it this way, Fukiyuki thinks that Wen Zhongyue's cooking can explain it.

........

After listening to Fuyuki's explanation, Erina and Alice didn't know how to express their feelings at all.

If it weren't for their father's description at this time, they couldn't believe that there was still soup in the world that had been boiled for decades or even hundreds of years.

Wouldn't the soup be damaged or spoiled if cooked like this?

.........

Regarding the popularization of knowledge about the old soup, Fuxue obviously didn't plan to continue to talk about it in depth.

He shifted his attention back to the arena of the game, and at this time, the duel between Wen Zhongyue and Yi Shihui had completely come to an end.

Under the strong impact of Wen Zhongyue's cuisine, Isshihui's dishes were defeated without resistance.

His so-called fragrant lees marinade, in front of the old soup essence in Wen Zhongyue's hands, which has a history of more than eighty years, there is no comparison at all.

......

After announcing Wen Zhongyue as the winner of this duel, Nagi Shinaki looked at Wen Zhongyue and asked:

"I've heard before that there is a very incredible and extremely rare amount of old soup in the Celestial Empire region, but I've never seen it with my own eyes.... Now it seems that this kind of thing really exists!"

Hearing what Nagi Makai said, Wen Zhongyue pursed his lips and smiled:

"The amount of old soup is really very rare, after all, not every restaurant can keep it. "

"Generally in our country, soup that has been boiled for more than a year can be called old soup, and as for old soup that is more than 10 years old, it can be called essence old soup..."

"As far as I know, there seem to be more than 10 years of old soup restaurants in our country, the number of which is no more than 50, and there are definitely no more than 10 restaurants that have been boiling old soup for more than 50 years, and the Northeast Lu Mingchun restaurant where I work has just the old soup remaining, and the most important thing is that the old soup in our store has a history of 80 years, that is to say, the old soup I added to this dish has been boiling since 80 years ago.

"

"Just by using a little bit of the essence of the old soup, the broth I stewed with high-quality salty food has been sublimated several times, and compared with the cuisine of other countries, I always firmly believe that our Celestial Dynasty cuisine is the most profound cuisine..."

"Because I participated in the BLUE competition, I didn't really want to embarrass my motherland, so I brought a killer feature from the store..."

Speaking of this, Wen Zhongyue cutely stuck out her little tongue and said:

"I know it's a bit of a bully, but I can't help it, after all, I want to present the best food to everyone..."
