I, Yan Ye, want to marry Shichen’s daughter

ps2: It's young!It's raining, and it's getting colder... I was a sequelae of heavy bleeding from previous operations, and I was more afraid of cold. This weather is dying!

Chapter 401 Groping

The creamy white fish soup exudes a strong umami flavor. It is estimated that the heat is almost the same. Rin took out a small bowl and scooped a spoonful, and then sprinkled a pinch of fine salt.

I have to say that she is really smart. She didn't choose the method that requires complicated seasoning. The seasoning even only used salt and ginger, with as little seasoning as possible, so that she avoided the biggest minefield in the first formal cooking, and did not deliberately. Instead of chasing the taste in memory, he chose the most authentic approach.

The delicious soup lingers in the mouth, fainting, and the delicious flavor cannot be imparted by seasonings such as MSG and chicken essence.

The warm soup slid down her throat, and the warm feeling spread through her body. The corners of her mouth slowly turned up, but after a while, it calmed down again, and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly. The imprint of the "people" shape.

"It's too monotonous. Although the ingredients are good, it is a taste that anyone can make with the ingredients." Although Rin frowned, she was not discouraged by this. She had no intention of succeeding in one go. After drinking the soup in the small bowl, she didn’t care about the fish soup that was still sitting on the fire. Instead, she set up a pot again, took out the food box, and cut off a section of the fish monster’s leg-like limbs. Put it on the fire and steam it.

The reason why she chose the least distinctive parts of the fish at the beginning was to get a general understanding of the characteristics of the fish, and then she completed her understanding of other parts of the ingredients.

Under the high temperature, the protein in the arthropods quickly solidified and turned into white fleshy pieces of elasticity like shrimp meat, but in terms of taste, they are closer to crab claws.

"Fish ears and fins followed." Rin nodded, as if thinking of something in his heart, he cut a few pieces of meat from other parts, and performed the simplest cooking in different ways in order to understand the flavor of things. .

"Fish belly is rich in fat and has a fat and tender taste. It should be good for sashimi. It can also be braised in brown sauce. The fish is firm and has a rich flavor. The disadvantage is that it has a bit of earthy smell. At my level, it is impossible to keep it for a period of time to adjust the taste. I don’t have cooking wine on hand...Try to neutralize it with this bitter wild vegetable, or smoke it. If the fin is tender and grilled, it should be fine. Not bad..."

A whole fish monster slowly decomposed in Rin’s mind. Thanks to the severe cold, the fish monster was directly frozen. This made her need not consider the anesthesia issues, but only needed to be killed by the method of living. There is no need to worry about the danger that such a big guy may cause-yes, don't look at Rin having put it in the food box and cut so many knives, in fact, this thing is still alive.

After all, monsters, especially monsters of the monster type, cannot be summed up with tenacity in their vitality. For example, the monsters of Inuyasha in the Warring States Period can live for several days even if they are miscellaneous fish.

After completing the slaughter quickly, Rin began to think about what to do next. There are not a lot of wild seasonings in the magic forest. If necessary, she can quickly gather the parts needed for basic cooking-except for soy sauce, vinegar, cooking wine, etc. The type of fermentation-even sugar, she can use magic to quickly extract from the fruit.

Without soy sauce and vinegar, cooking methods such as braised and sweet and sour were first ruled out. Then, Rin began to think about the various cooking techniques she had seen and heard. Although she had learned the basic skills, Yan Ye taught her only knife skills. I didn't even learn much about the most basic parts of firework and cutting.

Therefore, at this time, just like Liu Subaru, what she can do is to recall the taste of her own taste.

However, unlike Liu Zhuoxing, the teaching Lin received is very formal. She understands the true meaning of the phrase "one who learns from me will live, and the one who dies like me", but there are some things that have knowledge and vision. Liu Zhuoxing does not understand this, but With his superb talent, he can create a new sense of taste when recalling his mother's taste, while Rin, deliberately avoiding imitation, can easily bypass the optimal solution.

It's like reading comprehension in the Chinese exam. I haven't done sample questions. I recall the problem-solving methods taught by the teacher. I often get a good answer deliberately. easy to make mistake.

Fortunately, the cooking itself does not have an absolute optimal solution. For Yan Ye, the optimal solution may not be awe-inspiring. Without this optimal solution, another optimal solution may not be available.

The recipes of dishes flashed in Rin’s mind. She slowly developed new ideas for solving problems. After eating the "full fish feast" she had made, she immediately began to collect the ingredients she needed. Fortunately, she had anticipated this situation from the beginning, and the portion of each dish was not too much, otherwise she would have to save the leftovers for the evening.

"Tsk tsk..." Yan Ye watched her dignified movements not far away from the beginning to the end, and her mouth could not help but make a sound of inexplicable meaning. The cooking skill of Yaomeng was completely "natural", and she had never experienced such a step. Ye's strange expression couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Teacher, is there a problem with Junior Rin's approach?"

"The problem is definitely okay, or this common sense is the best choice when facing new ingredients." Yan Ye sighed. Not everyone has a food spirit who can directly inform the host of the characteristics of the ingredients. Even if there are food spirits, according to their age and region, the types of ingredients they understand are not the same. What's more, the passage of time itself means that new cooking methods and cooking techniques are constantly being developed. The hunger strike cheats-level recipes that the spirit masters are placed today, but they may be just a roadside meal.

However, it’s one thing to do it okay, but it’s another thing to do it.

"Look at the ingredients Rin has selected now. Did you find anything?" Yan Ye saw that Yaomeng was still confused, and pointed out. Although the Yaomeng was rubbed by his own hands, it is now an independent existence, and Because she has the same origin, she can be said to be the best kitchen assistant to Yan Ye, so when it is time to train, Yan Ye still has to train.

"Star anise, osmanthus leaves, fennel, numb mushroom, Chinese pepper, small pepper..." Yaomeng reported Lin's selection of ingredients, still not sure about it-"Normal soup spice."

"That's right. Soup, Rin used different methods such as boiling, stewing, frying and roasting to cook different parts, but they all have one characteristic, that is, the original flavor. But this time, she chose a lot of spices. She should know her own The seasoning skills are not good enough. The more seasonings you use, the difficulty will increase accordingly. She shouldn't understand that..." Yan Ye said that, laughing at herself, stood up, and planned go away.

"Master, where are you going?"

"I'll go back first. If you look at it all the way, you will end up with fewer surprises when you eat the food!" Yan Ye waved her hand, and said as if she didn't plan to wait any longer, "Be careful not to hurt her. Well, as for the cooking process, you should look less and less predictable, so that you can taste it with expectation!"

ps: The soul is hibernating...

Chapter 402 Rin's Main Dish

The winter sun floated overhead, sprinkled feebly in the snow-covered forest, completely unable to add any warmth to this severe cold environment.

At this time, in the magical forest, Yan Ye, You Yuzi×2, Lu Huang'er, You Meng, Marisa, and Alice were sitting together, waiting to wear a small apron, and a pair of cooks dressed as Rin was doing the final preparations. .

The round table is specially made, with a circular hole in the middle, on which is a large flat-bottomed iron pan, and a stove under the pan. Seeing this state, Yan Ye almost immediately understood that this girl was What are you going to do.

"Yan Ye, is Rin planning to make hot pot?" ×2

The two You Yuko spoke almost at the same time, and the faintly different voice lines completely overlapped one another. It sounded like the double voice to highlight the majesty—well, the feeling of the Holy Lord.

After nearly a year of running-in, the two Youyouzi have basically entered a synchronized state, not only talking, but also walking and eating at the same rhythm. If they didn’t need to go to the bathroom now, Yan Ye felt like he Every morning, I can see two people squeezing into the same toilet at the same time.

"Well, it looks like it should be, but Rin doesn't have the necessary condiments such as soy sauce and cooking wine, and she doesn't have enough time in this forest to make her own soy sauce. I don't know how she will respond." Yan Ye raised her eyebrows. , Seems to be speculating on Rin’s thoughts. Compared to the fish soup that Rin chose before, hot pot can be said to be the most unwise choice. After all, for hot pot, the bottom material can be said to be the soul. However, Rin is on hand. I don’t have enough seasoning for the base material.

And Yaomeng's can also prove that this girl did not go to the world, or exchanged spices with Marisa and Alice.

If you were yourself, how would you make this hot pot when you lack soy sauce and other seasonings?Yan Ye had just started thinking about it, but he was quickly extinguished by himself. Now he is an invited diners, as long as he waits expectantly for the food to be on the table.

Because the recipe has already been set and the various ingredients have been processed in advance, what Rin is doing now is just completing the final process.

I saw Rin carrying a pan with various sliced ​​and chopped ingredients to the side of the pot, then took out a piece of white fat, and spread it from the center to the outside in the hot pot.

The quality of the fat is very high, and it slowly melts in the appetizing sound, moisturizing the whole pot.

"Is that so, Japanese hot pot? But it looks like it's not sukiyaki, a variant of chicken hot pot?" Yan Ye's occupational disease was judged for the first time, and Rin also took out from the food plate and was cut. Spread the translucent slices two fingers wide and one finger long on the bottom of the pan, and fry them with the previous fish.

The slices at the bottom of the pot slowly turn white, and then the savory fish is delicious. From the texture point of view, this should be the firmer part of the back of the fish. If you use the steps of Japanese hot pot, this Should it be the one that replaced beef?

It seems that Rin is very confident about the quality of her prey!

The flesh of the fish turned white, and Rin took out some light yellow and reddish particles and evenly sprinkled it on it. This is fructose made from wild fruits and bulbs in the forest. Of course, brown sugar is generally correct.

Up to this time, the cooking process is no different from ordinary Japanese hot pot, but Yan Ye understands that this is the end of the practice according to the book.

Because according to normal circumstances, the next step is to use seasonings such as cooking wine and sauced meat.

Moreover, Rin chose fish meat, and it was the kind of large freshwater fish monsters at the overlord level of the lake. The smell of soil is inevitable. If there is no cooking wine to remove the fish, what will she do?

Not only Yan Ye, but others are also looking forward to Rin's next actions, but unlike Yan Ye's expecting Rin's cooking thinking, the others are looking forward to eating.

For Alice and Marisa, they started with the idea of ​​"playing with the little girl", "I won't point it out even if it’s not delicious", and "Encouragement", but after the fish is cooked, Their thoughts have quietly changed, because the fried fish meat is really fragrant.

It was estimated that the heat was almost there, Rin suddenly picked up three soup pots, and then mixed three different colors of soup with different spoons.

The first soup has a creamy white color and exudes a rich and pure umami. There is no doubt that it should be a broth boiled with fish bones, fish skins, fish maws and mixed meat. The aroma wafts from the pot when it is boiling. At night, she can give her a good score-put it in a four-star hotel, or serve it as a signature dish.

The second soup has a bright red color and a spicy smell. There are pots of pepper and chili floating in it. To be precise, this should not be called soup, but a red oil-like condiment made with a soup method.

The third type of soup has a faint orange-red color. The soup is relatively thick and even gives a feeling of cream. From the vision of Yan Ye, you can observe the subtle graininess and the restrained fragrance. Feeling, a flash of electricity suddenly flashed in Yan Ye's heart.

"So, is it Italian seafood soup? Use the arthropod carapace of the fish monster to beat the powder and add the broth to increase the umami? I did not deliberately imitate the hot pot, but cooked it in the form of hot pot. The dishes you want?” Yan Ye’s mouth was slightly tilted, watching Rin mix the three kinds of soups in different proportions, stir them, and then stew them with the fish oil slices in the pot for a while, and then began to cut out the mushrooms. The wild vegetables that have been blanched in advance are slowly added in the order of maturity. I have to say that this girl is really a genius, using magic to increase the temperature and accelerate the maturity.

Soon, the golden-red soup base with a spicy smell was completely boiling. With the transparent pot lid, the soup with longan-sized bubbles rolled over, and the dishes on the plate were placed in front of everyone. , And then said with a smile: "Ma Tong Rin's special-whole fish pot, this is the main course of my life menu!"

"The first life menu is the main dish? You are more rebellious than I thought!" Yan Ye nodded with a smile, smelling the breath coming out of the pot, but before Lin opened the pot Guy, he strained his face again and asked seriously

"But are you so confident? You know, although the fish monster is a monster, the catch level is only about level five. This still takes into account the difficulty of fishing. If you follow the real strength, level three is almost the same. Your future food What should I do if the road encounters more delicious ingredients? If it’s dim sum or dessert, it’s a main course. Are you afraid that you will not be able to suppress those high-level appetizers in the future? Or, you put your life menu so early, Limited to this level?"

Yan Ye's words are very straightforward. This is also a problem that every food hunter must face. In more comprehensive terms, this is called asking the heart.

The question is Daoxin.
