My daily life of cooking food in Tokyo

Chapter 198 You should practice again
The more Masato Shangdao ate, the more wrong he became.

It is indeed as Liu Minghui said.

The central part of the fermented abalone is still a little less interesting.

The flavor of the fermented rice was not fully immersed in the small piece in the center of the abalone.

Just this small piece, but the taste of the abalone has changed from perfect to slightly flawed.

Eating normally is enough.

Even without Liu Minghui’s reminder, even Masato Shangdao himself couldn’t help but eat it.

It's just that it's so unacceptable for Masato Naojima, who pursues perfection.

Only a little short.

But it is worlds apart.

It sounds simple, you just need to increase the cooking time to let the wine soak into the inside of the abalone.

It's just that that's not the case at all in practice.

As the cooking time increases, it will inevitably affect the changes in the meat quality of other parts of the abalone.

If the middle part of the abalone meat is to taste, the other parts of the meat will become stale.

Instead, it's a bit of a loss.

There was a gleam of excitement in Naoshima Masato's eyes.

This is exactly the result he wanted.

This slight gap, even if he eats it carefully, it is difficult to find it.

But Liu Minghui easily discovered and pointed it out.

What a terrifying strength this is.

At least it shows that Liu Minghui is very good at tasting food.

Thinking of what Yamada Tadahiro said, he humbly asked Liu Minghui for advice: "Mr. Liu, you are right."

"This fermented abalone is indeed a little bit worse."

"I just don't know how to solve this small gap?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Masato Nakashima felt something was wrong.

Want to get someone else's unique secret recipe for no reason?

This was really ungrateful, so he immediately added:
"If Mr. Liu is willing to teach you, I am willing to use Shangdao Xiansheng's diamond VIP membership card as reward."

"Or maybe Mr. Liu has other requests, as long as they are within a reasonable range, I can agree to them."

Naoshima Masato really wanted to know how to improve this dish.

He even doesn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to start the temptation.

Liu Minghui secretly thought that Masato Naoshima deserved to be called Masahiro Naoshima's brother, even his style was the same.

Started to smash the diamond VIP membership card again.

Liu Minghui took out the diamond VIP membership card that Najima Masahiro gave him before and said, "Diamond VIP membership card?"

"I already have one."

"Your brother forced it to me."

Masato Shangdao was taken aback when he heard the words.

He doesn't know who his brother is?
It is definitely the master who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle.

Now that the diamond VIP membership cards have been given away, it shows that the people in front of me definitely have unimaginable energy.

In this case, this matter will be somewhat difficult to handle.

How on earth was he going to conquer this young man?
How about introducing your niece to him?

A man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance are just right for a couple.

Liu Minghui didn't know that Masato Nakashima was already planning to sell his niece, so he scolded him angrily:

"However, I feel that I deserve it, so I just give you a few pointers, which is considered the reward for this card."

Hearing this, Najima Masato felt for the first time that his philistine brother was quite good.

At least I would definitely not be able to lose face and force myself to compete against Liu Minghui.

In this case, doesn't it mean that I will miss this opportunity to become stronger?
Under Masato Shangdao's expectant gaze, Liu Minghui slowly said: "There are many ways to solve this problem."

"The simplest one, I just told you."

"It's a pity you just didn't listen carefully."

"Use smaller abalones."

"With your strength, it's easy to handle smaller abalones."

"If you don't have enough strength, you're just asking for trouble if you blindly pursue difficult cooking."

"The harder way is to keep trying, keep trying."

"There is no shortcut to cooking together."

"If you want to break through, you must continue to work hard."

"Maybe you only need to work hard for two and a half years to find the most correct method."

Seeing this scene, everyone shook their heads secretly.

Liu Minghui didn't want to teach and there was no need to use this statement to fool others.

There is only a small difference, how could it take so long to practice.

Even Liu Minghui himself didn't know how to use this method, so he chose to change the topic.

Unthinkable.

Under the shocked eyes of everyone, Naojima Masato nodded approvingly.

Shang Dao Masato patted himself on the head as if suddenly realizing, and said, "Mr. Liu taught you the lesson."

"There are no shortcuts when it comes to cooking."

"Practice hard is the most correct choice."

"These experiences accumulated bit by bit are knowledge that cannot be taught."

"Forcibly teaching it can even lead to misdirection due to preconceived views."

Seeing Masato Nakashima looking like he understands, everyone was a little confused.

Cooking is indeed a difficult thing to understand.

They can't grasp it.

Let Liu Minghui handle it.

After finishing speaking, Najima Masato asked expectantly: "There should be no problem with other dishes, right?"

After all, Najima Masato is also a master of cooking and is very confident in his own cooking.

Liu Minghui thought for a moment and said, "Of course there is no problem with sashimi."

"In fact, this simple cuisine mainly depends on the quality of the ingredients."

"Any chef with more than ten years of experience cannot make mistakes in knife skills."

"The grilled food is also quite satisfactory."

"Although there is nothing innovative, it can be regarded as a classic."

"It's just that sushi is not so interesting."

Hearing Liu Minghui's words, Masato Shangjima even became short of breath.

He clearly took care of every detail.

Some asked in disbelief: "Where is the meaning missing?"

Liu Minghui gave the answer without hesitation: "Control the temperature."

"Even if you use ice water, you can't stop the change in palm temperature."

"So you need to make the food when the temperature of your palms is at the most appropriate level."

"This opportunity is fleeting and it tests the chef's control over the temperature."

"It requires an extremely terrifying experience."

"Obviously, you do that on most sushi."

"But when it comes to making a very small amount of sushi."

"Maybe it was careless, or it was a fluke, and I felt that the guests would not be able to eat it, so I did it on purpose."

"It was still due to the influence of temperature, which caused some slight changes in the ingredients."

"Naturally, ordinary people can't feel this kind of change, but it can't be hidden from my perception."

"This problem is easy to solve."

"It's also within our capabilities."

"Don't be afraid of wasting time, refrigerate it several times to let the temperature reach the most suitable condition."

"When you can't grasp it, you must remember to let go."

“Good food is not afraid of waiting!”

Crowd: ? ? ?
Everyone looked at Liu Minghui in shock.

Even Najima Masato is like this.

Are you still human?
How on earth do you eat the subtle changes caused by the wrong palm temperature?

Masato Nakashima's face turned red visibly.

He was a little too embarrassed.

All the problems Liu Minghui pointed out can be summed up in four big words: "There is no force."

This is probably what it means to force things beyond one's ability.

In fact, as long as Masato Shangdao plays steadily, these problems can still be avoided.

It's just that people tend to be a little overconfident.

You won't wake up to these problems until you are scolded.

Masato Shangjima was very excited.

I finally found a powerful person.

A powerful person who can take his long-stagnant cooking path a step further.

Instead of being angry when the problem was pointed out, he looked at Liu Minghui happily and asked, "Is there any more?"

"If you have any opinions, feel free to raise them boldly, and I will accept them all."

Crowd: ? ? ?
I'm afraid this person wasn't exposed to the problem by Liu Minghui. Why did he get more excited the more he was criticized?
And aren't we all human?

Why do they feel that their tongues are different from Liu Minghui's tongues.

Liu Minghui can always find some problems with the dishes that taste delicious to him.

This level gap is really too big.

Especially Moriyama Joichi was a little desperate.

Others are fine, as long as the tongue is enough to eat.

Even a little dullness is a good thing.

Dishes that appear to be defective in others' eyes are already perfect in their eyes.

This makes it easier to feel happy.

The problem is that he is different!

He is an inspirational person who wants to be a chef.

What is the use of such a broken tongue that can't even solve cooking problems?

He bit it down hard immediately.

But at the moment of feeling the pain, Moriyama Joichi stopped the car in time.

Pain Pain Pain Pain.

What am I torturing myself for?
This is my own tongue. If I bite it off, I will have no tongue at all.

Only Liu Minghui could understand Masato Shangjima's mood.

He used to be different than he is now.

He is also a coveted chef.

If someone is willing to give me some pointers, I'm afraid they won't be able to jump up excitedly.

Seeing that Masato Shangdao had a good attitude, Liu Minghui continued:

"The matsutake soup is really good, and the taste is very good."

"Fresh soup stewed with abalone, plus seasonal matsutake."

"The interaction between seafood and mountain delicacies creates a delicious taste that is even more fresh."

"The most important thing is that the soup base is extremely clear, which is very pleasing to the eye."

"At the same time, it makes people a little careless, thinking that this is just a bowl of ordinary clear soup."

"You don't know it until you drink it. The umami taste is rich and refreshing, giving people a refreshing feeling."

"It should be filtered to remove the magazines."

"Although there is still a little bit left, but it has little effect."

"Of course, if we can continue to improve it, we can completely remove the impurities."

“It adds a lot of flavor to the entire dish.”

"This can be started from the kitchen utensils."

“Choosing a paper pot that’s better at absorbing magazines might work wonders.”

Masato Naushima breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he is like a primary school student facing an exam.

I am waiting for the teacher to correct each question one by one.

This uneasy feeling was something he had not experienced for a long time after becoming a cooking master.

When he heard the first half of Liu Minghui's words, Masato Shangjima was undoubtedly very happy.

Finally, there is a dish worthy of praise.

It's just a few words, and Liu Minghui's next words instantly made his mood drop again.

There is indeed a flaw in this dish, and that is the handling of impurities.

No matter how careful you are, it is difficult to clean it completely.

After all, this is not a pre-made dish, and there is not much time left for each dish.

It is impossible to remove impurities in the soup bit by bit.

The time required to strain the soup into a clear soup is completely missed.

Masato Nakashima could only filter the abalone soup.

As for the impurities separated from matsutake, there is absolutely nothing we can do about it.

This is why Liu Minghui did not point out this point as a problem.

In the limited time, it is not easy to be able to do this.

However, Liu Minghui's last words also made Masato Shangdao overjoyed.

The problem that had been bothering me for a long time was actually solved.

And the method is so simple.

As a master chef, Masato Shangjima is no stranger to kitchen utensils like paper pots.

Thinking of the characteristics of the paper pot, he felt more and more that this was definitely a perfect solution.

Thinking of this, he could no longer suppress his inner excitement and bowed deeply to Liu Minghui:
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for teaching me without any hesitation."

"I didn't expect the problem that has troubled me for so long to be solved so easily."

“It’s really a surprise.”

"Compared to the knowledge Mr. Liu imparted to me, the value of that diamond VIP membership card is completely inferior."

"Mr. Liu has any other requests, please feel free to ask."

"I will be satisfied with whatever I can satisfy."

Liu Minghui shook his head and said, "I didn't give you advice for the benefit."

"It was your passion for cooking that moved me."

"It makes me seem to see my former self, who is also so persistent and passionate."

"A few final words."

"The main courses and desserts are very well prepared, and they are also very suitable as the end of this food tour."

"It gives you the wonderful feeling of enjoying a cold dessert while enjoying the wind at the beach."

"Unfortunately, the flavor of the rum ice cream is still a bit too strong."

“While leaving a deep impression, there is also a feeling of unfinished meaning.”

"Perhaps a lighter ice cream would be better."

Liu Minghui speaks in a mature manner, and Masato Shangdao humbly asks for advice, and he keeps nodding his head in approval.

It looks very much like us who used to listen carefully in class.

This inconsistent scene gave everyone a very strange feeling.

Under normal circumstances, based on his age, Liu Minghui should be the one who listens carefully.

Masato Nakashima nodded, then shook his head and said: "This is not a mistake, but a difference in philosophy."

"I think it's the best state to be unsatisfied."

“It keeps guests looking forward to their next food trip.”

"In contrast, Mr. Liu prefers to satisfy the guests."

“It’s impossible to say which of the two concepts is better or worse, we can only say that each has its own characteristics.”

Speaking of this, Masato Nakashima laughed at himself: "Maybe Mr. Liu is strong enough and doesn't need this kind of method to attract him."

"Thank you Mr. Liu for your guidance. I received a lot of goods this time."

"It's a pity that there are still customers waiting to eat, and I don't have time to continue talking with Mr. Liu. It's really a pity."

"Mr. Liu's kindness of guidance can never be repaid."

At this point, Masato Nakashima paused and continued: "I wonder if Mr. Liu is still single?"

"I have a niece who is not only beautiful, but also loves cooking."

"There should be a lot of topics between you."

"If Mr. Liu is still single, I can introduce you to each other."

Crowd: ? ? ?

Why did you talk and talk, and started talking about marriage?
Miwa Tanigawa and Photon Fukuo felt a strong sense of crisis.

First Miki Takimoto, and now Masato Naojima's granddaughter.

Who's next?

Why didn't you realize that Liu Minghui was so popular with girls before?

Thinking of this, the two women said in unison: "How can a man as outstanding as Mr. Liu be single?"

The others looked at the two women in surprise. The master didn't speak, so what did you two say?

However, considering the ambiguous relationship between the three of them, the others felt that it would be better to do less than to do more, so they did not speak.

Masato Shangdao glanced at the two women, then at Liu Minghui, and instantly understood what was going on.

Both women have their own characteristics, some are big and some are small, they are both rare and outstanding ladies.

In this case, there is no need for me to forcefully introduce my niece to Liu Minghui.

He said regretfully: "That's really a pity."

"People as good as Mr. Liu are really in demand."

"It seems that my niece will not be so lucky."

The phone number you got flew away?
Liu Minghui was quite sorry.

But he didn't mean to refute.

In terms of marriage, he is more inclined to know it by himself.

Immediately said: "That is indeed a bit regrettable."

"Mr. Shangdao still has guests to entertain, so we won't interrupt him."

Masato Shangushima shook his head and said, "I should be the one who disturbed Mr. Liu, not Mr. Liu who disturbed me."

"The time is indeed a bit late."

"Don't dare to waste Mr. Liu's time any longer."

"Whenever Mr. Liu is free, let's make an appointment."

"I will definitely prepare my best cooking and personally welcome Mr. Liu's guidance."

"Please, Mr. Liu, don't hesitate to teach me."

After Masato Shangdao finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Liu Minghui again.

In this way, I express my admiration for Liu Minghui.

Liu Minghui shook his head and refused, "I really don't have time these days."

"If you want to make an appointment, you can only wait for a while."

I thought about my recent trip. It’s a game and I have to go home again.

The schedule was completely packed, and it was obvious that there was no time for appointments.

Masato Shangdao said with some regret: "In that case, we can only make an appointment when Mr. Liu has time."

"It's late, I'll take Mr. Liu out."

As soon as the words fell, Masato Naoshima had already taken off his chef uniform.

Everyone thought it was just a gift, not an exaggeration, so they didn't refuse.

This is just Najima Masato's way of expressing friendship.
-
in the hall.

Just like the crowd at the old Ryuki Izakaya, several guests who had made reservations were waiting.

Ishimaru Kazuhiro sighed: "Mr. Najima doesn't know what complicated dishes he is preparing."

"It was actually postponed for some time today, which is also very rare."

Yuko Harada smiled and said: "Maybe it's some of the freshest seafood."

"I have to say that Shangdao Xiansheng uses the word 'fresh' very quickly."

"It fully embodies the theme of this store."

"Now when I think of the wonderful taste bud experience last time, I still feel as if it was just yesterday, and it is vivid in my memory."

“Those exquisite and delicious dishes linger in my mind and are really unforgettable.”

“This is an excellent restaurant that makes you want to eat again after eating it once.”

Ishimaru Kazuhiro agreed with Harada Yuko's words very much, saying: "It is indeed so."

"It's a pity that the price is a bit too expensive."

"It's also too difficult to make an appointment."

"It's lucky to be able to enjoy it once in two or three months."

"It's lucky today."

"Although we need to wait for a while, the store manager decided to give us a [-]% discount."

"At the same time, I promised that if I want to eat next time, I can prioritize the seats for us."

"It saves a lot of money and reduces the time needed to make an appointment. I think the wait time is very worthwhile."

Harada Yuko also thinks so.

The salary of the couple is pretty good in Sakura Country.

However, it can’t stand the high price of Shangdao’s fresh produce, and it’s still a bit difficult to consume it frequently.

With discounts and priority reservations, the wait is totally worth it.

Little did they know that Liu Minghui only spoke slightly.

He was begged to give him a diamond VIP membership card from Shangdao Xiansheng.

Not only can you play a very exaggerated [-]% off.

You can also enjoy the no-booking treatment.

Harada Yuko said with a smile: "Shangjima-san looks really classy."

"Except for introducing the dishes, he doesn't say any unnecessary words. He looks very serious."

“I’m still impressed by the way he concentrated on handling the ingredients.”

"I really don't know what could move him."

Ishimaru and Hiro pretended to be angry and said, "Yuko, your husband is opposite."

"You actually praise other men for their good looks?"

"It seems that your skin is itchy, and you need a good education from me."

"I have to take good care of you tonight, so that you are exhausted and have no mind to think about anyone else."

Harada Yuko pretended to be scared and said: "Education, then I'm really a little scared."

As if she thought of something, a suspicious blush suddenly appeared on Harada Yuko's face.

Although the Sakura people are more open-minded, Harada Yuko cannot be so unrestrained and NTR in person.

It was just a joke between them.

Ishimaru and Hiroshi smiled evilly and said, "It's good that you know you're afraid."

"Now tell me seriously, who is the most handsome person in your heart?"

Harada Yuko replied without hesitation: "Of course it's you!"

Ishimaru and Hiroshi pretended to be angry and said, "If you react quickly, I will let you go this time."

"It is inevitable to live a life of crime, and it is impossible to escape a death penalty!"

What should I do if my wife talks nonsense?
Gagged her mouth, of course.

Ishimaru and Hiroshi acted without hesitation.

At this moment, they found that the door of the restaurant facing them had just opened.

Several couples of handsome men and women came out from the inside, they should be the last batch of guests.

But that's not the point.

The point is that they actually saw Shang Dao Masato coming out to see them off in person.

This is a treatment that they can't even imagine.

Not only that, but Masato Shangjima changed his previous serious style.

The smile is very warm, making people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze.

you've changed.

You are no longer a fan.

The couple was in shock.

The status of a cooking master in Sakura Country is not low.

Now someone actually asks the culinary master to come out to greet him in person, what kind of person will be on the other side.

Not only sending them to the door, but Masato Nakashima actually planned to send them to the door.

It is a bit exaggerated.

Thinking of this, Harada Yuko looked towards the guests in front.

The leader looked a bit familiar to her.

I just thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't remember who this was.

Can only stop there.

Yuko Harada expressed that she was very hurt and said resentfully: "Husband, my idol collapsed."

"You must comfort me tonight."

Ishimaru and Hiro said noncommittally: "Then I must comfort you well!"
