Chapter 256 Chinese Cuisine Research Association
Huge boiler.
Strings of meatballs, spinning and jumping in the soup.
The gluten and tofu skewers fully absorb the soup, and all kinds of ingredients are simmered in one pot, and there is a delicious harmony!
When talking about oden, this image will appear in many people's minds inadvertently.
However, the aroma of oden in street snack bars can be smelled even from a distance. In fact, it is a soup made from kelp and bonito flowers, cooked slowly over low heat.
When you buy one and taste it, you actually find that it’s not that delicious. The ingredients inside are even cooked into the same flavor.
But in the neon country, oden is a "variable" dish that can be used in elegant halls or hidden in the bustling city.
In other words.
Oden in neon country.
It is a delicately prepared and stewed delicacy.
Tianchao's oden is generally a fast-food snack, which is convenient and fast, but it cannot withstand careful tasting.
At this time, the first stall in the [Main Avenue District] sold a very unique oden.
…
Currently, in China.
It is true that there are not many restaurants that sell oden in the true sense. The most obvious thing is the difference in form.
The oden in Neon Kingdom is usually cooked in a pot, while the oden in China may be better called "chuanchuan".
In fact, not many people in Neon can say "Oden", they prefer to call it "Oden".
Well, it actually translates to grilled tofu!
Finally, I found that stewing tofu is more delicious than baking it. After stewing it, the Neon people suddenly had a whim:
We’ve already stewed tofu, why can’t we stew something else?
Driven by this idea, they began to add more and more food to the pot, which gradually formed the future oden. Because it is convenient and delicious, it quickly became popular in the Kanto region!
In the 1860s, Oden was introduced to the Kansai region, and the Kansai people named it Oden.
No ingredients, no oden!
No matter how good the juice is, it will be in vain without good ingredients (also called cooking).
The ingredients for Neon Kingdom's oden are roughly the same as those in China, but there are some ingredients that every oden must have, including:
radish.
egg.
Fried tofu.
Konjac.
Kombu roll.
Fish Ball.
Bamboo wheel.
Cut the radish into small pieces, about 3cm thick.
The skin and tendons need to be removed cleanly. In order to prevent cracking during stewing, the outer ring of the cross-section needs to be trimmed and rounded.
The radish pieces that have been soaked with soup are crystal clear, sweet and delicious, soft but not rotten.
And the eggs, which are a popular ingredient, are imbued with the flavor of the fragrant soup. One bite is full of richness, giving people a sense of satisfaction that can't be stopped.
Fried tofu is the origin of oden cooking. After deep-frying, the surface is full of holes, making it easy to absorb the flavor of the broth. Especially the fusion of soup and tofu flavors, it’s simply the most delicious thing in the world!
In addition, there are beef tendons, fried fish cakes, grilled bamboo shoots, yam fish cakes, etc.
It is these ingredients that accompany the Neon people through night after night, allowing the body to get a moment of warmth and allowing people to find their way back to their feet.
…
"Ahhhh, the meatballs here are really good."
“Whether it’s the tender fish balls, the chewy meatballs, or the soup-filled tofu and kelp, everything makes people want to come back.”
"Huh?"
"There are actually many special vegetables from the Northeast region?"
One bite after another, Kobayashi's gentian taste buds suddenly became "happy".
"Senior sister, you have ordered so many Oden snacks, can you finish them all?"
Stall owner Tian Suohui was stunned and a little ashamed when he saw her holding a large bundle of Oden snacks!
"It's not bad. After all, what you made tastes pretty good!"
Kobayashi Ringtong started to stare at his round eyes and continued to feel the taste of these oden snacks with his heart.
In the end, the lingering aftertaste made her couldn't help but give a pertinent evaluation.
"Isn't it Tadokoro? Sometimes I see you over there at the izakaya. What matters most to me about you is that you cook every dish with your heart."
"Although your current level is indeed not good enough, your dedication and persistence in cooking are very similar to Zhang Fan."
After saying that, Xiaolin Rgentian took another big bite, his eyes radiating a hint of excitement.
"Uh hehe, why do you even say that, senior sister?"
"I remember that Hinata-senpai told me the same thing when I was an intern at Kiriya Restaurant last time. I look a lot like Shopkeeper Zhang!"
Tian Suohui was a little flattered by what Kobayashi Rgentan said suddenly.
"Ah!"
"That's because you don't know."
"Actually, in many aspects, you are learning from Zhang Fan without knowing it."
"Work hard. When we graduate, I think there will be a place for you among the top ten positions left open by then!"
After finishing speaking, Kobayashi Ringtong headed towards the next stall.
Tian Suohui looked at the drifting gentian, his face filled with doubts and confusion.
…
Linshan area.
The green mountain forest stretches on the mountainside, like a huge green picture.
On the mountainside, there is a temporary small restaurant, which is the stall run by Erina Nakiri.
The wine and food were rich and varied, and the guests who came in and out were all famous people from the upper class. It can be said that the house was full of friends, and everyone drank glasses!
From a distance, you can see the brilliant lights on the ceiling, illuminating the entire interior environment.
"Fei Shasha, are all the customers who made reservations this morning arrived now?"
It can be seen that Erina Nakiri is still very beautiful today, especially in the elegant and clean chef uniform, which is full of noble charm.
"Everyone has arrived on time, but there are no guests sitting at the table in the middle."
"That... eldest lady, who has such a noble status that you want to save the best position? He is not even willing to give you face, and now he is nowhere to be seen!"
Nito Hisako on the side is wearing a gorgeous dress today, so she looks more upright and beautiful!
In terms of temperament, she is definitely not as good as Erina, but her expression and behavior always reveal that she is upright and virtuous.
…
"Asking knowingly."
"Of course I leave that position to Zhang Fan."
When Erina heard this, she rolled her eyes angrily and blushed slightly.
"Miss, are you really leaving it to him? But you haven't gone to the izakaya yet and invited him to the school festival, right?"
Hearing this, Fei Shasha felt unbelievable.
Then she took a deep look at Erina, her expression could only become helpless, and she sighed.
"I know."
Erina's face couldn't help but change slightly.
At this time, she really hoped that Zhang Fan's figure would appear in front of her immediately.
However, this kind of thing must be impossible, so she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart: "Fei Shasha, let's continue working and try to make all the dishes before sunset!"
"Okay, Miss."
Hisako nodded and immediately started busy with Erina.
…
Generally speaking, customers who participate in moon festival activities.
First of all, you must purchase food coupons from Yuanyue officials in advance, and these food coupons will become evidence of the turnover of each simulated store.
Around evening every day, the sales volume will be calculated, and based on the operating conditions of each area, the top three shop stalls with the highest revenue in each area will be announced.
Therefore, Kuagataruki’s goal.
It is to win the first place in sales in the entire central area and within 5 days.
At this moment, at Yukihira Soma's stall, he is selling pepper pancakes!
The stuffing is made from fresh pork bought early that morning, marinated with special sauce and green onions, and then grilled in a pottery kiln.
Smelling the faint smell of burnt food, there was a long line of people waiting in line. It must be said that Chuangzhen's stall was already overcrowded just after it opened.
"Hmm~"
"This pepper cake is so spicy."
"Freshly rolled skin, freshly packed ingredients, freshly baked at the right heat, crispy and not dry on the outside..."
“It tastes like French bread, covered with white sesame seeds, mixed with just the right amount of pepper, and gives off a caramel aroma after being toasted. It’s simply great!”
"Woohoo~"
"The freshly baked pepper cakes are really hot!"
"Yes, the meat and green onions inside the cake feel to be mixed just right. The slight spiciness of the pepper brings out the freshness and sweetness of the pork shank. The more you chew, the more the meat and green onions fill your mouth."
"It's so enjoyable. It is indeed the most grand school festival event in Yuanyue."
"Heaven!"
“This is definitely a paradise for gourmet food.”
…
The freshly baked peppercorns are indeed very hot.
Its exquisite features are the aroma of sesame seeds, crispy skin, and delicious soup inside. It can be said that the soup dumplings from roadside food stalls will be eaten in seconds!
When eating, you must be careful to scald your mouth, as the fat and juice of the meat are firmly sealed in the cake.
Therefore, if you are greedy and greedy, your tongue will be burned.
Perhaps even Kuga Teruki never thought that Soma would be running a small stall by himself in the central area, and he only sold an ordinary pepper cake.
As for the price... Since the stalls in the central area sell items for a minimum of 1,000 yen, the price of the pepper pancakes is also set at 1,000 yen.
Um!
This price is a bit expensive.
What's more, no negotiation is allowed. If you want to eat, you can eat. If you don't, you can get out.
As a result, such pepper cakes continued to conquer waves of customers.
"Oh?"
"I underestimate him, he actually thought of using the unique baking method of a stone kiln."
"Full of meat fillings and chopped green onions, sprinkled with plenty of pepper and a special secret recipe. The dough is soaked in water and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Because it is always stuck to the side of the hot stone kiln, the internal temperature will be extremely high. rise."
“In this way, the oil inside, the pepper and the fresh and sweet texture of the pork can all reach a delicious state!”
Opposite the Chuangzhen stall is a shop stall directly affiliated with the Chinese Cuisine Research Association:
Jiuwo Hotel!
The architectural style of this makeshift restaurant is modeled after an ancient Chinese palace.
With its staggered brackets and yellow tile roof, it looks like a golden palace. Its scale is more like a luxurious restaurant than a stall.
As the head of the Chinese Cuisine Research Association, Teruki Kuaga is wearing a dark red Tang suit today, which really has a bit of traditional Chinese charm!
At this time, he was standing in front of the "Jiuga Restaurant", his sharp sword-like eyes staring at the small stall opposite.
When he saw the long queue of customers who were waiting so hard, he couldn't help but darken his face.
"General, we have prepared all the ingredients."
At this moment, a bald man suddenly came to him and whispered softly: "Excuse me, can we open for business?"
"Well, let's get started!"
Looking back, Kuga Teruki nodded.
…
With the official opening of Kuga Teruki, some customers were finally attracted.
Walking in with curiosity, you will be impressed by a large and luxurious space in front of you. It feels like you have entered one of those magnificent palaces in ancient times.
"Dear guests, come and don't miss it if you pass by. Come and taste the charming Sichuan cuisine."
At this time, Kuaga Teruki, who was stir-frying, shouted loudly.
"Cool!"
“This stall feels so big!”
"Kuga Hotel?"
"My dear, is this the stall owned by Jiuga Teruki, the eighth of the Totsuki Ten Heroes?"
"What? The eighth seat among the top ten?"
"Aren't the ten heroes all in the Linshan area? Why did they come to the central area?"
"Who knows, but the prices of things here in the central area are relatively low. It is definitely worth it to be able to taste the dishes made by the top ten at low prices."
"Yeah, what are we waiting for?"
“It’s a rare opportunity like this, so hurry up and take a look inside.”
The store is large, so it naturally leaves a deep impression on people.
Coupled with the status of the top ten, many customers flocked to Jiuwo Restaurant. Then, with excitement and joy, they quickly found a seat to sit down and order food!
…
Undeniable.
Teruki Kuga, who brings Chinese cuisine to the spicy side, is indeed very good!
Most of the Sichuan dishes he cooks can make diners' tongues numb and they open their mouths to take in a breath as soon as they take a bite.
A portion of red oil dumplings, the skin is thin and rounded, the meat is tender and plump, and the red oil soup is spicy and delicious.
There is no soup, the highlight is the red oil. The spices used are Sichuan specialty red oil sea pepper, Sichuan pepper powder, pepper, etc.
So as long as you taste it carefully, you will feel that it is spicy and refreshing, and your tongue will be completely numb.
"Is this the strength of the Ten Heroes?"
In the end, seeing no one in front of their stall, all the customers ran to the Kuga restaurant opposite.
Xingping Chuangzhen could only sigh deeply.
…
time flies.
Soon, it was evening.
The sun had already stopped its dazzling light and was about to set on the mountainside.
As of 18:00, the sales of all stalls in the central area have been settled. The results are as expected, Jiuwo Hotel has successfully won the first place! (End of chapter)
