i'm not a detective

Chapter 167: The Sick and Disabled Go to the Battle!
The broth is not for drinking directly, it is a special condiment that enhances freshness and flavor.

In the era when there was no MSG, chefs relied on broth to enhance freshness. Even with MSG now, the status of broth has not been shaken. In terms of freshness, the taste of the two is very different; in terms of aroma enhancement, MSG has no such function.

So there is such an old saying: the chef's soup is the opera's accent.

An actor who doesn't have a good opera tone, don't expect to be popular in this life, and a chef who doesn't make a good broth, don't expect more praise from diners.

It is no exaggeration that a pot of soup can determine the success or failure of a chef or even a restaurant.

But the use of stock is very simple and rude. Just add stock when you should add water. Even when you shouldn’t add water, you can add a little stock to immediately upgrade the dish to a higher level.

Now, Naokawa Yoshino has boiled the first pot of soup in his entire career.

"Be so-so!"

Takeshi Qihara directed Naokawa Yoshino to quickly stir-fry a vegetable with half a spoonful of broth poured in the middle, bursting with steam, then picked a chopstick to taste it, and gave an evaluation.

It's not that there is anything wrong with Naokawa Yoshino's operation, but that the raw materials are defective.If you really want to make a good broth, it is best to use ingredients such as old hen, big elbow, scallops, and fat duck. Only then can you achieve "fresh chicken, duck flavor, and thick elbow", which can be said to be a high-quality product. But considering the cost, now we can only use cheap products such as crucian carp, chicken racks, duck racks, pig skin, chicken feet, etc., which barely produce results, and can only be so-so soup.

But it's not a big problem, since it's not him who eats it anyway, ordinary diners shouldn't be able to tell the difference.

The evaluation he gave was very average, Naokawa Yoshino's heart trembled, thinking that he had made a mistake, he quickly took the chopsticks and tasted them carefully.

The taste of the dishes made by herself is the clearest. She quickly stir-fried the vegetables, so she sprinkled a little salt. Just now, she was worried that the taste would be slightly bitter, but now she tasted the vegetables, but they were silky, tender and fragrant. , I couldn't help but licked my lips after eating for a while - obviously only half a spoonful of soup was added, is the effect so obvious?

But Takeshi Qiyuan said it was "so-so". She has a restrained and docile personality, and she dare not say "actually the taste is very good".

"The taste is good, it has a fresh fragrance, but it doesn't cover up the taste of the ingredients themselves. I can't tell how to divide the flavor wheel, but at least it's rich and delicious." Qingjian Liuli also tasted it, and ate two more mouthfuls , couldn't help but say something fair, she felt that she had no problem with eating this for dinner, and it was no problem to eat two bowls of rice.

Qiyuanwu glanced at her sideways through the sunglasses, feeling that she might be able to say that she could say it was delicious, but he felt that this quality was enough, so he didn't express any further opinions, and said with a smile: "Then I'm going to have dinner Come on, Naokawa-senpai take a break too."

Boiling soup is boiling people, and he didn't intend to let Naokawa Yoshino stand out of the varicose veins. It's been five or six hours, and he should let her sit anyway, and the rest of the broth and brine will continue at night.

Of course, dinner happens to be used for practice.

He also instructed Qingjian Liuli to teach Naokawa Yoshino how to cook rice with rice, and by the way, he also wrote her the monkey version of the recipe. He eliminated two kinds of rice that were more expensive and not easy to find, and replaced them with cheap ones with similar properties. I played a little trick to make up for it - add some lard to enhance the flavor when cooking.

Well, Dashi is just laying a good foundation. He really wants to start this business. There are many skills beyond the foundation. Naokawa Yoshino still has a lot to learn.

…………

The dinner at Zhichuan’s family is very simple, they are all home-cooked dishes, even if there is no shortage of ingredients in the kitchen, there are a lot of big fish and meat, but they are ready to be sold. Her culinary skills have improved immediately - Naokawa Aoi's eating speed has increased a lot, even though the dishes are still the same as before, they are obviously more delicious than before.

It seems that Dullbird can also distinguish between good and bad taste, and will eat more if it tastes good.

Naokawa Yoshino felt both regretful and distressed. He regretted not learning cooking earlier. He felt sorry for his sister who had been wronged before, so he tried his best to pick up food for her——Zokawa Aoi didn’t use chopsticks very well, and she was a little dumbfounded. She wanted to put the dishes on her She will eat it with the rice if it is in a bowl.

"Sister Zhichuan, you can eat too, Xiaokui, come and try the tomato scrambled eggs made by my sister." Qingjian Liuli was already scrambling left and right, while quickly grilling the rice by herself, while taking care of "Blind Wu", she also picked up Zhichuan Aoi a chopstick.

Naokawa Aoi looked at the red tomato, and took a small bite with the rice. She was at a loss for a moment, she was in a daze, but she was not stupid. She turned the bowl around and went to chop the rice again, and the speed also slowed down.

Naokawa Yoshino was a little embarrassed and felt a little impolite, so he quickly explained to Kiyomi Ruri: "Xiaokui is a bit picky eater, and has never liked tomato dishes. She used to cook pasta, as long as she put tomato sauce on it, she would not eat it. Don't mind seeing my junior."

"Are you a picky eater? It's a pity, it's so delicious." Qing Jian Liuli can understand, she doesn't like the taste of bonito, as long as she dares to use bonito as a soup base, she will not eat it at all.

Takeshi Qiyuan glanced at Aoi Naokawa through the sunglasses, and said with a smile: "It may not be picky eaters, so share some scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

Qing Jian Liuli asked strangely: "What do you want to do?"

Just as she was asking, Yoshino Naokawa had already gone to get a small plate and carefully set out some tomato scrambled eggs with serving chopsticks, while Takeshi Qiyuan was a weirdo who carried seasonings with him, he took out a small bottle from his pocket and twisted it on the tomato. The scrambled eggs were sprinkled, and he said with a smile: "Re-season her."

"Re-seasoning?"

Seeing that Liuli didn't understand clearly, Naokawa Yoshino didn't talk as much as she did, so she immediately picked up chopsticks for her sister and persuaded her, "Xiaokui, try again, eating more tomatoes is good for your health."

Aoi Naokawa was at a loss for a moment, looked up at Yoshino Naokawa, then at Takeshi Nanahara, and tasted it again honestly. After tasting it, she was stunned for a while, then lowered her head and started cooking rice, and the speed increased again. It seemed that she was interested in the new taste. Very satisfied, very sweet to eat.

"What did you add? Let me taste it!" Qing Jian Liuli became curious, and immediately picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into her mouth, but immediately her face wrinkled into a ball, "It's so sweet, it's so sweet that I'm tired of it, Did you add sugar? Why did you add sugar? I obviously did it according to your instructions, and the sweetness was just right!"

General Qiyuan put the small bottle back in his pocket, and said with a smile: "So you have been a second-rate cook in your life, and it's the same as not having eyes. You have to watch the dishes. Xiaokui is only six or seven years old. , is still a child, her taste buds are different from ours, we think the sweetness is just right, she will find it sour, we find it sweet and greasy, she feels the sweetness is just right."

Qingjian Liuli remembered that Takeshi Qiyuan seemed to have mentioned something casually before, that children's taste bud preferences are very different from those of adults. Sometimes they seem to be squeamish, but in fact they really feel that they can't swallow it. It's a picky eater - suddenly change the taste buds of children to the tongues of adults, and the adults are all squeamish.

Naokawa Yoshino was also a little embarrassed, feeling that her sister was a little unqualified, and blamed her wrongly, and Nanahara Takeshi turned to her and said with a smile: "Sister Naokawa can also pay attention to business in the future. Adjust the seasoning at the end before selling. For example, a person in overalls can sprinkle a little more salt when delivering soup; an office worker who sits still for a day can recommend some lighter cooking packages, or prepare some sweeter dishes. The children's package will help to attract repeat customers."

Of course, this is a matter for the future. If she continues to do this business and gradually expands the fast food and opens it into a restaurant, then she can pay attention to these details and do her best for now.

Naokawa Yoshino glanced at his sister who was eating deliciously, nodded seriously, and kept his words in his heart.At present, there is no condition for a second-hand fast food truck, but in the future, she will definitely give it a try, try to make the business better, and strive to give Qiyuan Wu some more money.

She thought about it and began to eat. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect. She always felt that the ordinary simple meal was more delicious than before. The more she ate, the more delicious it became. Deli, I have enjoyed the fun of food a little bit, and at the same time, I am also deeply impressed by Takeshi Qiyuan - if he is not blind and has a little mobility inconvenience, he must be able to open a very powerful restaurant, right?

But he is quite good now, even if he is blind, he behaves like an ordinary person most of the time, fumbling to write, fumble to play chess, and still laugh happily, which is already quite remarkable.

He is probably also a genius, no wonder such a beautiful and delicate girl like Qingjian Xuemei likes him.

…………

After eating the simple meal made by himself, Naokawa Yoshino’s confidence in winning the battle of recovery was further strengthened. After washing the dishes with Kiyomi Ruri, he immediately started making the second pot of broth—this time the main ingredient was replaced with beef bones, Qiyuan Takeshi I'm going to use this pot to make the first brine, which is specially used to make ingredients with a strong fishy smell.

He still explained it to Naokawa Yoshino in detail, explaining the process, key points and precautions carefully, and then let her operate it by herself, and sat down at the door of the kitchen by himself. Naokawa Aoi plays chess and bullies the little dull bird for fun.

Qingjian Liuli ran at both ends, sometimes ran to see how the broth was being cooked, sometimes ran back to watch the game of shogi, and even went into battle in person when her hands were itchy, but this time she learned how to behave, she played handicap with Naokawa Aoi—— Naokawa Aoi asked her to take away a speeding chariot and a laurel horse at the beginning of the game, which is equivalent to giving up chariots and horses in Chinese chess.

This is a new way of playing for Naokawa Aoi. There are very few handicap games in the teaching of TV education channels or broadcast games. Qingjian Liuli knelt again as a matter of course, and replaced Qiyuan Takeshi with Naokawa Aoi to help her adapt to the promotion competition in advance.

After giving up, Naokawa Aoi fought back and forth with Qiyuan Takeshi, but after all, he was too inexperienced, not as sophisticated as Qiyuan Takeshi, and was still defeated, and even got sleepy early—playing chess with Qiyuan Takeshi for too long, brain power Too much consumption, tonight's food is delicious and sweet, I ate a bit too much, and I can't open my eyes before eight o'clock.

Naokawa Yoshino and Qingjian Ruri hurried to put her to sleep, and when they came back, one continued to make soup, and the other sat down and continued to play chess with Takeshi Qihara.

Laying the foundation is a job that depends entirely on patience, and Takeshi Qihara really didn't take the money for nothing. He didn't even go home, so he slept in the living room of Naokawa's house wrapped in a sleeping bag and wearing earplugs.Naokawa Yoshino kept boiling, skimming off froth, stirring, and ingredients. She was so sleepy that she went back to her room to squat for a while, but Qing saw that Ruri was fine, so she went to sleep with Naokawa Aoi when she was sleepy, and went to school as usual during the day. Come again.

After staying up like this for two full days and two nights, it is considered that the foundation has been laid firmly, and I have the capital to go out and fight head-on with my colleagues.

On the afternoon of the third day, Yoshino Naokawa loaded the prepared vat dishes and shogi into the cart, and pushed it by herself. Takeshi Qihara led Aoi Naokawa, followed by a blind man and a little dumb bird, and embarked on the road of fast food hegemony.

The sick and the weak set off!
