Chapter 223 New Cuisine, Silky Chicken with Rice

An excellent butcher.

In addition to mastering the meat structure and shape of cattle, you also need to know how to handle each type of meat.

Each type of meat and each part requires a corresponding butcher knife to protect the meat quality and improve work efficiency to the greatest extent.

certainly.

I want to be like Zhang Fan.

Using just an ordinary kitchen knife, you can butcher an entire cow in an instant.

The experienced Mito Yumei said she couldn’t do it!

…

With the development of modern technology.

The slaughtering industry has gradually entered the era of intelligent automation.

Take the Mito family for example. Their slaughterhouse has a complete set of equipment, including cattle observation and isolation pens, workshop passage platforms, finished meat delivery systems, etc.

This kind of equipment has advanced production technology and a high degree of automation. Especially in the aspects of hanging, peeling, meat transfer after segmentation, logistics and distribution, and by-product processing, automation is used very well.

Especially for the transmission of cut meat, a software recognition system has been specially compiled.

The butcher only needs to cut the meat into various parts.

For example: beef tenderloin, sirloin, ribeye, top brain, shoulder, etc., put identification marks on them.

Then put it on the same conveyor belt, and the products will be automatically processed according to the labels during the conveyance.

Compared with traditional slaughtering methods, this kind of change brought about by industrial technology is definitely much more efficient!

"Shopkeeper Zhang, what method did you use to kill this cow just now?"

Mito Yumei came back to her senses and said in surprise.

"Use this knife and just swipe it a few times and it'll be fine!"

Zhang Fan said with a smile.

Mito and others would definitely not believe this kind of nonsense that sounded like deception at first sight.

With curiosity, she began to study around the completely divided Tajima cow on the ground, and Nakiri Shinagi, Nito Hisako and the other girls also gathered around.

Everyone studied for a while, but no one noticed what was going on?

"Shopkeeper, I'm really convinced."

"What kind of sword skill are you doing? Can I learn it?"

Mito finally accepted the reality, but said with interest.

When Zhang Fan heard this, he just shook his head. After all, the sword skill of Fierce Bull Azure Dragon Slash was completely different from this world.

"You just learn to die."

"It's impossible to learn it, let alone have such an effect."

These sonorous and powerful words immediately made Mito Yumei give up her thoughts.

…

In fact, the fierce bull and the green dragon slash.

You also need the "Pojun" knife among the seven-star knives to truly achieve the cutting effect.

For now, Zhang Fan only uses an ordinary kitchen knife, so its power is naturally reduced, but it should be more than enough to handle this Tajima cow!

"Mom, you... you have to remember this later!" At this time, Alice, who came to the izakaya, paused for a moment, then she turned back and whispered to her mother Leonora.

"Remember what?"

Leonora was slightly startled.

For a moment, I really couldn’t remember what I had promised Alice.

"When we go to the izakaya for dinner later, you must remember to praise me in front of Zhang Fan so that he can have a good impression of me."

"Then, because of the shortage of manpower in the izakaya, I hope to temporarily move in after the autumn selection, so that I can stay with him and learn cooking skills!"

After listening, Leonora suddenly slapped her head and suddenly realized.

"Okay, Alice, I promise I will praise you in front of Zhang Fan later."

"Mom, don't forget again. Whether you can stay in the izakaya depends on the cooperation of you and my daughter."

Alice Nakiri warned her again and again.

…

As soon as I walked in, the atmosphere was a bit off.

In the entire quiet space, everyone's eyes became solemn and deep.

Their eyes were fixed on the torn apart cow on the ground, as if they wanted to see through the seemingly solid barrier and find out the truth hidden behind it.

Moreover, everyone's face was full of shock, as if they had just experienced something terrible.

"Ah? What happened?"

Nakiri Alice, who just came in, looked around and found that the surrounding environment felt inexplicably weird.

Soon, she discovered Nakiri Managi, and as if grasping a life-saving straw, she hurriedly came to her side and said softly: "Auntie, are you also at the izakaya tonight?"

"Well, I just came here not long ago."

Nakiri Shinagi nodded and said softly.

With the sudden appearance of their mother and daughter, the atmosphere in the izakaya gradually returned to normal.

"It's a pity that you missed the most exciting scene just now."

Returning to his original seat, Shinagi said calmly.

"Um?"

Leonora was stunned.

She and Alice looked at each other, seeing confusion and doubt in each other's eyes.

Zhang Fan, who had just slaughtered the Tajima cow, quickly asked the two girls, Kikuchi and Hisako, to wash all the parts of the Tajima cow on the ground before moving it to the freezer for storage.

Immediately afterwards, he personally served two cups of Huangshan Maofeng tea.

Entertain.

…

Maofeng tea is Huangshan Maofeng tea.

The place of origin is Chongtouyuan, Xiaoyuan, Huangshan Mountain, now Chongchuan, Xintian Village, Fuxi Township.

Legend has it that during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Xie Zheng'an, a Caoxi native, adopted the fat and strong bud and leaf system.

Because it is "covered with white hairs and the tips of the buds are like peaks", it is called:

Huangshan Maofeng!

When Dingqing took a look, the fragrant tea in the cup was actually filled with mist.

The buds and leaves are suspended vertically in the soup, swaying in the water and sinking slowly.

Moving the tip of my nose, I did smell a faint scent of tea.

This tea aroma has a floral and fruity aroma, honey aroma, and a tender, more abstract aroma, and then there is a caramel aroma.

This kind of tea, even if you don't drink it, can make people feel relaxed and happy, and their minds are at peace.

As a result, Leonora, who didn't like drinking tea very much, actually had slightly bright eyes.

…

"The aroma of tea."

"It smells very long and has a refreshing aftertaste."

Leonora slowly opened her bright eyes, and then with a hint of expectation, she began to take a few sips.

aroma.

Fresh and tall!

taste.

Fresh, rich and mellow!

Aftertaste.

Sweet and refreshing!

The taste of Maofeng tea can be described by the word "mellow".

After entering the tea soup, you will first feel a lubricating touch, as if it is a nectar flowing in the mouth.

Then, the mellowness of the tea gradually emerges, just like old wine with profound connotations.

In the mellow taste, you can also taste a slight bitterness, but this bitterness is not abrupt, but perfectly blended with the umami, forming a unique taste experience.

This bitterness is like the vitality accumulated by the tea leaves after experiencing wind, frost, rain and snow during their growth.

As time passes, it slowly settles.

Leonora, I think this tea is still very fragrant even if the water temperature is higher!

In short, this kind of Maofeng tea worth remembering can be described in eight words: "high fragrance, mellow taste, clear soup and moist color".

…

"It's amazing."

“It is said that tasting tea is like tasting life, and this seems to make sense now.”

"The taste of Maofeng tea is actually not static, but changes with the passage of time."

"This change is like the experience of life. It was full of passion and vitality at first, and then gradually became calm and restrained as the years went by."

Leonora slowly opened her eyes and couldn't help but sigh.

“What is Maofeng tea?”

Next to her, Alice blinked her bright eyes and asked her mother curiously.

"This is a unique tea in China. Because it is covered with white pekoe and has sharp buds and awns, and most of the fresh leaves are collected from the peak of Huangshan Mountain, it is called Huangshan Maofeng Tea."

Leonora explained patiently.

"Oh, is it because of the shape of the tea leaves?"

Alice seemed to understand, and then she couldn't wait to pick up the teacup and took a sip.

…

He smacked his lips.

Slowly recall it.

I found that this tea is really different from the black tea and green tea on the market.

Although Alice had been following Leonora when she was young, living in the Nordic region.

But she doesn't have the habit of drinking afternoon tea like those Nordic people.

However, the Maofeng tea in the izakaya made her realize the charm of a cup of tea. It turned out that it can be so charming!

"It is said that the most famous drink in China is tea,"

“I didn’t quite believe it at first, but after tasting it today I realized that it was indeed not in vain.”

At this moment, Alice was thinking of many words in her mind.

However, after thinking about it, she found that this kind of Maofeng tea was beyond her knowledge, and she really didn’t know how to use any praise words to evaluate it.

…

well!

Sure enough!

There are indeed many interesting things in this izakaya.

If I stay here all the time, I wonder what kind of food I can eat every day and what kind of life I can live?

After thinking about it, Alice rolled her eyes in a circle and said, "Zhang Fan, in this quarter-finals, I defeated Tadokoro and successfully entered the semi-finals!"

After she finished speaking, she still pretended to have a proud look on her face.

"Then what?"

Zhang Fan asked, probably sensing her thoughts.

"This is enough to show that I am one step closer to winning the autumn selection."

"Without the participation of the Ten Heroes Erina, those characters like Ryo Hayama, Soma Kohei, Takemi, Ryo Kurokiba, etc., I am fully confident to beat them now."

It can be seen that her vanity and eagerness to be recognized by Zhang Fan have appeared again!

"Heh, so what?"

Zhang Fan couldn't help but shrug his shoulders when he heard this, acting as if he didn't care.

His frivolous behavior naturally made Alice, who wanted to brag in front of him, completely confused.

"Do you think that with my current strength, I can't win the championship in the autumn selection?"

Zhang Fan:? ? ?

…

"Mom, you... please help me quickly and say a few words."

"Tell me the truth about how I defeated Tian Sohui in the quarter-finals in front of Zhang Fan, and let him see how powerful I am!"

Looking at Alice who was looking for help, Leonora could only put down her tea cup and sighed helplessly: "Alice, sometimes being more confident will really make you actively think of ways to change the current situation, and it can also make you become a better person." Sunnyer."

“But if confidence is overdone, it becomes arrogance.”

"You have just reached the semi-finals, and you dare to conclude that you can win the championship. Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face then?"

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, Alice was stunned.

As a mother, you get countless honors compared to your children.

Leonora Nakiri, in her heart, must have hoped that her daughter could live a happy and carefree life.

This grand event of the autumn selection every year is indeed an important stage for the 60 contestants, and its significance is also very important!

But if because of this, Alice becomes more greedy for fame and fortune, and gradually forgets her love for cooking.

Well, Leonora didn't want to see it.

…

"Mother."

"Fei Shasha, she didn't even advance to the finals."

"And your daughter obviously has such achievements, but you still criticize me in front of others?"

"How can I hold my head high in the future if you're like this?"

Alice, her mentality is a bit broken!

"chatter?"

"I'm telling you."

"As a human being, you must recognize the reality, don't always have illusions, and don't be self-righteous."

"Let's not talk about Fei Shasha. Let's look at other people's children. Ahem, look at Zhang Fan. In what way is he not better than you?"

"In terms of ability, cooking skills, knowledge and understanding of cooking, personal charm, etc., he is many times better than you in almost every aspect, but have you ever seen him proud of it?"

After hearing this, Alice wanted to continue to refute.

But thinking about my mother, what she said seemed to make sense, so I could only feel so embarrassed.

Next to him, Zhang Fan, who was silently watching a good show, couldn't help but let out a laugh, which made Alice's face blush, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to hide.

Then she pretended to be calm.

She stared at him with wide eyes, signaling him not to go too far!

…

"Okay, Leonora."

"Alice is actually quite outstanding for her age."

"As far as I know, in the entire Totsuki Academy, apart from Erina, who has the talent of God's Tongue, there are really very few people who want to surpass her."

"Maybe, she really hopes to win the championship in this autumn competition."

Looking at Alice's cute look of shame and shame, Zhang Fan could only look away, turned to Leonora and said.

"Just spoil her."

Leonora replied angrily.

"To be honest, you two even drank tea, so why don't you order food first?"

Zhang Fan blinked his clear water eyes and then signaled Leonora to start ordering.

Of course, it was also in order to ease the awkward atmosphere and not make Alice feel embarrassed, so he deliberately changed the topic!

"Old rule, we won't order the dishes, but let you make recommendations in person."

Leonora Nakiri said without thinking.

"Well, then I recommend the silky chicken stuffed rice?"

Zhang Fan asked.

"Silk chicken stuffed with rice?"

Nakiri Shinagi on the other side immediately became excited when he heard the name of the dish.

After all, this was the name of a dish she had never heard of before, which meant that he, Zhang Fan, had developed a new dish.

"Silkies?"

Leonora Nakiri was stunned!
