Chapter 272 Love!
An extremely luxurious kitchen.
Leonora Nakiri was squatting in front of an oven, looking at the large pieces of skinned elk meat that were thinly tied with cotton thread in circles, and crispy and fragrant oil and water were emerging.
Seeing this, she looked at the time. Finding that the elk meat in front of me was almost done, I quickly sprinkled some coarse sea salt on the skin side, and then roasted it over high heat for dozens of minutes.
Then pour the roasted gravy carefully into a small pot, mix some starch, red wine, pepper and salt, boil the sauce, and pour it on a few slices of crispy pork.
Finally, it is paired with golden-brown baby potatoes and red beet salad fried in caramel butter, served with warm mulled wine and almond rice pudding.
that's all.
A grilled elk meat that represents the flavor of Nordic cuisine is completed.
…
In Northern Europe, each country has its own characteristics in food.
Especially in Scandinavia, the white nights in summer are particularly long, but in winter there are seven treasures: moose, bear, wolf, lynx, musk deer, cow, and wild boar.
Therefore, there are still many kinds of animals in northern Scandinavia that can be hunted!
basically.
You are in the Nordic countries.
In the freezers of those organic supermarkets, you can often see fresh game in season.
Boxes of hare meat, venison, bear meat, as well as exotic whale meat and fermented shark meat from Norway and Iceland are also in order, waiting to be picked and taken home by diners.
"Huh? Sure enough, it still smells fishy?"
"It seems that my methods are not good enough when it comes to processing elk meat!"
At this time, while eating a small piece of grilled elk meat, Leonora Nakiri could not help but frown deeply.
Then, he spit out all the elk meat in his mouth and said helplessly.
…
Although Leonora's identity has always been the department head of the Nakiri International Research Department of Totsuki Academy.
However, she has been living in the Nordic region for a long time and has always stayed in the research laboratory there. And what she has to do is to continue to use the latest science to create new cuisine and molecular cooking!
Of course, like a daughter, there must be a mother. Oh no, like a mother, there must be a daughter.
The cuisine she is good at, perhaps just like Alice, is molecular cuisine based on high technology and knowledge of chemistry and physics.
But it is undeniable that she is superior in some aspects.
Especially in the less popular field of Nordic cuisine, he also has high attainments.
deer!
The whole body is a treasure.
Most of the organs on its body can be used as medicinal materials, such as deer antlers.
In many mid-to-high-end pet foods, venison, venison powder, offal, etc. are also important ingredients in dry and wet pet food.
Therefore, the supply of venison from the production side is insufficient, the quality is not good, and the processing technology cannot keep up, making it more difficult for people to have a good consumption experience. In addition, compared with pork, beef, etc., the price of venison is higher, and people’s consumption level is limited...
Therefore, we are more inclined to choose common meats with various cooking methods, high quality and low price!
But in daily life, it doesn’t mean that no one eats venison.
However, when processing venison, you must use some strong spices to remove the meaty smell.
Without these seasonings to cover it up, venison would actually taste very raw and taste bad.
…
"Mom, what are you doing in the kitchen?"
At this moment, Alice Nakiri, who had returned from skipping classes outside, saw her mother's figure, suddenly threw herself into her arms, and asked with a smile.
"Alice, do you want to scare me to death by sneaking out from behind me like this?"
Being hugged by Alice behind her, Leonora's expression immediately changed.
Then, when she saw that the person behind her was actually her daughter, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "Alice, the school festival has just ended, don't you want to go to class?"
"Mom, the lecturer suddenly changed."
Alice left Nora Nakiri's arms, and then replied calmly.
"Changed?"
When Leonora heard this, she immediately felt puzzled.
Naturally, she had heard about the recent events in Totsuki Academy, but as an outsider, she couldn't say much.
After all, isn't this Totsuki coup an internal matter within the entire Nakiri family?
What's more, let alone her.
Even the commander-in-chief Nakiri Senzaemon has no choice but to step down when he is faced with being dismissed by the top ten. So far, he has not made any movement, let alone the slightest hint of resistance.
…
"Mom, after uncle Nakiri Thistle came to power recently and became the new commander-in-chief, he has accelerated the pace of Totsuki's changes."
"He first abolished all cooking courses, research associations, hobby clubs and laboratories, and then established an organization called the Central Gastronomy Agency!"
"I'm going to class today."
"I actually found out that the lecturer has been replaced by the fifth seat of the Ten Elites, Souaki Saito?"
"Although being able to witness and learn the cooking of the top ten is something we first-year students never dare to think about in our lives, but it must be considered according to the actual situation of each student!"
"I am obviously a master in the field of molecular gastronomy, but that senior Souaki Saito is a chef who is good at Japanese sushi and ramen dishes."
“In class, he personally provided us with a brand new saury sushi recipe, and then explained to us a lot of sushi cooking methods. Other students may have listened with great interest, but it made me dizzy. Want to sleep!"
"The things and knowledge he taught are completely different from my concept of molecular cuisine."
"so……"
"I found it very boring, so I skipped class early."
"And Senior Souaki Saito is quite open-minded. He didn't deliberately make things difficult for me, nor did he give me a failing evaluation score."
…
Listening to Alice's words, Leonora Nakiri became silent.
It does sound weird to ask the top ten to replace the lecturers and then pass on all the knowledge and cooking skills they have learned throughout their lives to the first and second grade students below.
Moreover, research associations.
The purpose of its existence is to bring people with the same hobbies together to study what they like the most and are best at!
However, Nakiri Thistle actually abolished this as soon as he came up.
"It's strange. Could it be that he wants to implement hegemonic rule and turn the entire Totsuki Academy into a gourmet empire exclusive to him, Nakiri Hisashi?"
Leonora couldn't help but murmured to herself.
…
Obviously.
In Leonora's eyes.
The reform policy of Nakiri Thistle is nothing more than two points:
First, distinguish real geniuses from ordinary students. Only geniuses recognized by him are allowed to innovate and research dishes and establish a "central gastronomic institution", while ordinary students are prohibited from innovating and researching!
Second, its teaching model becomes that everyone strictly follows the recipes formulated by geniuses, and independent learning and research and development are prohibited.
Um!
After all.
this education model.
It is very common in schools in some countries.
Of course, it doesn't seem right to say that he has an elite education and completely denies common people's cooking.
Because he came out of Totsuki Academy, he saw the shortcomings of "elite education" and decided to change it.
In other words, what he denies most is not civilian cuisine, but civilian chefs!
According to the previous model, most of the students in Yuanyue are just sparring partners for the elites, stepping stones for the strong, and discarded "chess pieces". Here, the law of the jungle is always the law of the jungle.
Most students, no matter how hard they work, face the same ending in the end:
Drop out of school!
Hence the so-called innovation.
For those with mediocre qualifications, it is nothing more than a waste of resources.
Even if one or two mediocre people innovate delicious dishes, it is just an example, and it is very inefficient in terms of efficiency.
This can be seen when Erina denounced some research associations for spending a lot of resources and money every year, but the result was that they could not develop any results!
Therefore, in the face of this dilemma, Nakiri Thistle standardized his teaching methods.
Let everyone learn the cooking methods and concepts of first-class chefs, which will be more conducive to improving the cooking skills of most people.
Compared to before.
The system of expulsion upon failure is a purely elite training plan.
Nakiri Thistle's changes are the most beneficial to the common people!
He only distinguishes between the elite and the mediocre, but does not seem to abandon the mediocre.
Just like when he persuaded the ten heroes to switch sides, he said: "Create a world without useless competition and no abandonment."
"Good idea."
"But such changes also have drawbacks!"
Finally, after thinking about it for a while, Leonora had no choice but to say.
…
The prosperity of a city.
It's not just at night, it's also noisy in the morning.
The entire commercial street and the buildings along the street are awakening in the sun, as if they are watchmen witnessing the city's awakening.
Some shops open their doors early to welcome early customers. The steaming breakfast shop, the fresh and refreshing flower shop, and all kinds of merchants started the day's busy life in the morning light.
The number of pedestrians began to increase, either in a hurry or taking a leisurely stroll.
Even the cars on the street are busy and busy, making noisy horns and roars.
However, all this did not affect the prosperity and excitement of the commercial street!
…
Walking on the street, Nakiri Erina seemed to be very interested.
What she was wearing today was still Yuanyue's fashionable and classic blue and white school uniform. The exquisite lace highlighted her white legs, and even her exquisite body curves were completely outlined.
The golden hair naturally hangs down and brushes the ears, adding a bit of cuteness!
I can tell.
Although the dressing up is not very deliberate.
But she always has that noble lady aura, and she is indeed incredibly beautiful!
Zhang Fan in front looked a bit casual in his clothing.
A clean white shirt, only the bottom few buttons were loosely fastened, but the top was open to reveal strong skin.
Such an image makes him look wild and unruly.
Maybe it was rare to go shopping and play with Zhang Fan, so Erina, who was very interested, always looked at this store and that store to see good accessories, clothes, comic books, etc. , can’t help but stop.
Maybe, this is the nature of being a girl?
After all, shopping can satisfy her pursuit of "beauty", especially the many beautiful clothes, hats, shoes, etc. on the street, and these products are enough to attract her!
…
"Zhang Fan, look, look, look."
"What do you think of this ring?"
However, at this moment, Erina walked into a jewelry store and picked up this exquisite ring.
Then, she blinked her eyes, with a pleasant smile on her face, and couldn't help but turn back and said excitedly to Zhang Fan.
"how?"
"Want to wear a ring?"
Zhang Fan heard this and walked over slowly.
He glanced at the ring in Erina's hand, couldn't help but said with a wicked smile.
"What?"
"No...no, how could I like this kind of thing?"
"I just learned from some innocent comic books that rings not only symbolize love, but also symbolize pure and sincere emotions between two people."
"If a person receives a ring from his partner and wears it on his hand, it means that the relationship between the two people has entered a new stage."
"What stage?"
Zhang Fan heard this and asked knowingly.
"Oh, it's just...it's the stage of lovers!"
Erina couldn't help but blush.
…
"You want it?"
Zhang Fan stared deeply at Erina in front of him, then he had to suppress his smile and asked lightly.
"Of course I have...I have thought about it, no...I mean, I want someone to give me a ring!"
Erina was stunned and replied.
"OK!."
"Then I'll buy it for you."
"ah?"
Erina looked at Zhang Fan in disbelief.
"no sooner said than done."
After that, Zhang Fan paid the money and bought the ring!
…
"Come, let me put this ring on you."
After that, Zhang Fan picked up the ring and put it on Erina.
Upon closer inspection, this ring looks like a sleeping star, waiting for the moment to be awakened.
Its main body is made of pure white gold, with a soft and warm luster, as if it contains endless years and stories.
On the surface, there is a crystal clear diamond, which is like morning dew, shining with charming light. The cutting process is also exquisite, and each section captures the light just right, making it shine at different angles.
Its edge design is very delicate.
The lines are smooth and elegant, like a dancer dancing gently.
The inner ring is polished as smooth as a mirror and fits the curvature of your fingers, making it comfortable and not easy to slip off.
"Erina, let me tell you a little more about rings."
"Rings are usually worn on the ring finger of the left hand, which is said to be the closest to the heart."
"According to legend, the blood flowing through the heart passes through the ring finger, so by wearing the ring on the ring finger, you can send your thoughts to the heart in time and feel the deep love of the other person!"
Finally, Zhang Fan did not forget to explain.
"ha?"
"Love?"
Erina's face turned even redder!
