My daily life of cooking food in Tokyo

Chapter 323 Apprenticeship Test
Looking at the closed door.

Feeling the temperature in her hands, Sadako hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to go home.

Go back to that dark home with no hope at all.

Thinking of this, she took a bite of the gold and silver meat bun in her hand.

This time I worked so hard to come out, although I didn't gain enough fear.

But it doesn't seem like he has gained nothing.

Crispy bun skin.

Soft buns.

Crispy pork belly skin.

Soft and glutinous fat.

Tender lean meat.

Q popped the shrimp chunks to the extreme.

With the chewing of the teeth, this extremely complex taste gradually merges in the mouth.

Grain by grain, it's like massaging the tongue.

The comfortable feeling made Sadako couldn't help but let out a moan.

She didn't expect that this was just the beginning of this taste journey.

The crispy pork belly should be very greasy, very useless.

But under Liu Minghui's unique cooking method, only the crispy side of the pork skin is kept.

The rest is extremely fresh and tender.

Although the entire Jinyin Roujiamo is only seasoned with spicy sauce on the pork belly.

The taste is not monotonous at all.

Because the original flavor of these ingredients is extremely rich and delicious.

The simply boiled shrimp cubes not only retain the most perfect taste.

The taste is also delicious and sweet.

Flour, as carbohydrates, also hides sweetness.

It needs to be chewed carefully and reacted with saliva to stimulate it.

In the process of making buns, Liu Minghui added a little salt.

Not only can it make the steamed buns more chewy.

That bit of salty taste also blends with the deliciousness of the pork belly without being too obtrusive.

The seemingly incongruous taste and style of hit ingredients, but under Liu Minghui's careful preparation, they are completely blended together.

Let Sadako have a feeling that her body is starting to become lighter and soaring in the clouds.

The delicious taste on the tip of the tongue and the wonderful feeling made Sadako's eyes widen.

What kind of horror is the thing in his hand.

Why can I let myself eat such a magical feeling.

Could it be that there is something special added inside that can cause the monster to have a stress response?
Just like some fallen human favorite special items.

The dream is blurred, which makes people want to stop.

How could my Sadako fall for such a wonderful feeling?
Thinking of this, Sadako stuffed the gold and silver meat buns into her pocket.

I have to go back and study it carefully, this magical thing called Jinyin Roujiamo!

Thinking of this, Sadako no longer remembers this place.

With the monster power that was finally recovered, he passed through the wall and walked towards the TV when he came.

After a while, it completely disappeared into the TV.

To an unknown place.

Liu Minghui didn't know the interesting things happening outside.

At this time, he had already gnawed on the newly made gold and silver meat sandwiches.

The extreme delicacy made him squint his eyes comfortably.

Sure enough, the freshly baked Jinyin Roujiamo is the best.

It's better to feed rhubarb to the golden and silver meat sandwiches that are a bit cold.
-
Monday.

It's that devil's day of going to work again.

This is also the day when Joichi Moriyama intends to become a teacher and Liu Minghui will test him.

This afternoon, Liu Minghui set off earlier than before.

Said it was a test, but he had to prepare well.

The huge pot in front of him is the test tool he prepared for Moriyama Joichi.
-
Outside the Dragon Carp Izakaya.

Moriyama Joichi had actually been here a long time ago.

It's just that for a while, he didn't even have the courage to open the door.

He secretly cheered himself up, took a breath, and then Moriyama Joichi pushed open the back kitchen door of Longli Izakaya.

Seeing Liu Minghui who was busy, he subconsciously said, "Master, I'm here."

But he realized something was wrong instantly.

He hasn't passed the test yet, how could he rashly call Master Liu Minghui?

This is definitely a very transcendent thing.

But just when he was about to apologize, he found that Liu Minghui just waved his hand indifferently and said:

"Zhang Yi, I don't need your help with the ingredients today."

"You have only one task to do."

"Here is a basket of fresh mung beans, and you need to use this big pot to cook the most delicate mung bean soup."

"If you cook it successfully, you've passed the apprenticeship test."

Hearing Liu Minghui's words, Moriyama Joichi's eyes were so bright that they could shine.

He clasped his fists and said, "Master, I will definitely complete the task you gave me!"

Then came to the big iron pot.

To be honest, the size of this iron pot is really beyond Moriyama Joichi's expectation.

But if it is a test of apprenticeship, it is very simple to boil a pot of mung bean soup.

Compared with the incomparably terrifying tests of Huaguo chef apprenticeships he found on the Internet, they can only be regarded as pediatrics.

After all, even for beginners, cooking a pot of mung bean soup is very simple.

It's just that he ignored the adjective in Liu Minghui's words.

most delicate.

It is extremely difficult to meet this requirement by hand alone.

Must have enough patience.

Sieve out the impurities in the mung bean soup bit by bit.

Utilize temperature and starch reaction.

Only by constantly cooking carefully can this requirement be met.

It's just that Liu Minghui didn't intend to remind.

You have to teach everything by yourself, and you don’t want an apprentice who doesn’t have the slightest understanding.

Thinking of this, Liu Minghui continued to process the ingredients.

It’s just that among the ingredients purchased today, there are some new ingredients.

Chicken feet, lots of chicken feet.

Unlike other traditional izakayas, Liu Minghui plans to launch a new appetizer every week.

It can be regarded as not forgetting the original intention and sticking to the cooking skills.

Naturally, what I want to make today is lemon boneless chicken feet, which is a very good appetizer.

Sweet and sour, soft and glutinous, combined with the taste of serving wine, people will never forget it once they eat it.

After cleaning the chicken feet, simply and carefully cut off the nails, soak them in cold water for 10-[-] [-] minutes.

Remove the blood from it.

Put the pot under cold water, add sliced ​​ginger, scallions, and cooking wine, and cook for 10 minutes after the water boils.

Wash the cooked chicken feet with cold water.

Put it in water, add ice cubes, and put it in the refrigerator for [-] minutes.

This step is crucial.

The purpose is to make the chicken feet more springy, crispy and glutinous, and at the same time make the subsequent deboning more convenient.

There is also a dark legend about boneless chicken feet.

According to legend, the boneless chicken feet were gnawed raw by the old lady hired by the boss.

Even the processing speed is faster than direct hands-on processing.

It was naturally impossible for Liu Minghui to use such dark methods.

In fact, as long as you master the method of deboning, it is not troublesome to make silky chicken feet.

With the flexible handling of fingers, a large pot of boneless chicken feet was quickly processed.

Since he didn’t know how well everyone would accept it, Liu Minghui didn’t intend to make too many lemon boneless chicken feet today.

Just trying to get a taste of it.

Then according to today's sales situation, adjust the amount of tomorrow's production.

After the chicken feet are processed, the next step is to prepare the sauce.

Spicy millet cut into small circles.

Slice the lemon into thin slices.

Cut the coriander into small pieces.

Chop the garlic into slightly larger pieces.

Pour these ingredients into a large basin, mix well, add light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar to taste.

After stirring evenly, pour in the processed chicken feet, put on gloves and catch evenly.

Grabbing by hand is recommended here.

The strength on the fingers can make the chicken feet better absorb the taste in the sauce.

Halve evenly, seal with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for two to four hours to allow the chicken feet to fully absorb the flavor.

The prepared lemon boneless chicken feet are crispy, spicy and sour, and appetizing.

Whether it is used to accompany wine, as a staple food, or as a snack, it is undoubtedly delicious.

It's easy to make and well worth it.

It's just that handling chicken feet is a bit too troublesome and requires more patience.

While Liu Minghui was making lemon boneless chicken feet, Moriyama Joichi was not idle.

An hour or two is enough for him to make a preliminary pot of mung bean soup.

Looking at the mung bean soup gradually becoming smoother in the pot, Moriyama Zhangyi took out a small bowl with anticipation.

Scoop some on and start tasting.

If even he himself is not satisfied, how can he submit it to Liu Minghui as a work?

Only this time, he frowned.

The pot of mung bean soup in front of me looks beautiful, but it is nothing but gold and jade.

After tasting it carefully, I found that there are many deficiencies.

The first is impurities.

The impurities that seem to have been completely filtered by themselves have not actually been removed.

There are countless tiny impurities hidden in mung bean soup.

It ruins the perfect taste that mung bean soup should have.

Then there's the level of detail.

Only after eating it did I realize that this pot of mung bean soup was far from meeting Liu Minghui's requirements.

The most delicate?

This is nothing more than a pot of seemingly delicate mung bean soup.

Moriyama Shoichi sighed and continued to stir the pot of mung bean soup with a slotted spoon.

As long as there are impurities floating, he will quickly pick them up and pour them into the trash can.

Take a closer look and see the huge trash can next to him.

At this time, it is full of impurities copied from mung bean soup.

Even though he had been doing this for an hour, Moriyama Joichi still didn't dare to slack off.

Work slowly and work hard.

He believes that as long as he works hard enough and keeps refining, he will be able to obtain a pot of perfect mung bean soup.

The time passed by every minute and every second during the cooking.

Moriyama Joichi felt that his hands were completely numb, and it didn't look like his own hands.

But his eyes were shining with excitement.

You get what you pay for.

The pot of mung bean soup in front of me is visible to the naked eye, and it has become delicate.

Gradually move towards Liu Minghui's request and pass the result of this apprenticeship test.

On the side, Liu Minghui looked at Joichi Moriyama, who was working hard, and nodded in relief.

Talent may determine a person's upper limit, but hard work determines a person's lower limit.

What's more, Moriyama Joichi may not have low talent, but he just didn't find a suitable learning method.

But as long as you have the drive to study hard and never admit defeat.

At least he wouldn't let himself down.
-
Just as Longli Izakaya was operating in an orderly manner, another disturbance was brewing.

Chigu Naojing came to a remote alley with a sneaky look on his face.

Perhaps his features were too obvious, but not long after, a middle-aged man walked towards him.

Shouted: "You are Mr. Ikeda, right?"

What the fuck?

Could you please lower your voice?
Chigu looked at the middle-aged man in horror, made a silent gesture, and said, "Quiet."

"Such a big deal, don't leak the wind."

"Did you bring something?"

The middle-aged man shook the package in his right hand and said, "Of course."

"Just follow the price we agreed on, pay with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other hand!"

Chitani Naojing frowned slightly and said, "Then you have to let me see the goods first."

"You are so tightly wrapped, how can I give you money?"

The middle-aged man handed the package to Chigu Naojing indifferently, and said, "Don't worry, I am the most trustworthy person."

"You can inspect the goods first!"

After the package was wrapped, Ikegaya Naozune carefully opened a gap.

Sure enough, I saw that familiar golden light.

Immediately covering the golden light, Ikegaya Naosuke unceremoniously took out a stack of cherry blossom coins, handed it to the middle-aged man, and said:

"If you click a few, and the quantity is correct, the transaction between us will be considered completed."

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man just took a cursory glance, then took it and said:
"Anyway, it's money earned for nothing, as long as it's not too bad."

"Sometimes it's really hard for me to understand that you rich people actually pay such a high price to buy these flashy things."

"Okay, I'm leaving, see you later."

Naturally, he can trust Ikegani's character, and the reason why he said that is just for his own desire to complain.

But the other party is his benefactor after all.

So he didn't say much, and after the deal was completed, he chose to leave.

On the contrary, Naotsune Iketani seemed to have acquired some kind of treasure.

Tucking the package tightly under his arm, he left here.

Immediately got into his car and drove towards home.

Not long after, Chigu Naosuke returned to his home.

He took out the key and opened the door, only to see two pairs of earnest eyes staring at him.

Especially his daughter, Ikegani Kana.

The longing in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.

The moment I saw Naotsu Ikegani, I couldn't wait to say:

"Father, you are finally back."

"Did you bring back what the lovely Kana wanted?"

Ikegani Yuyi gently took Ikegani Kana's hand, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Kana, you can't be so rude to your father."

"Apologise to father quickly."

Facing her mother's scolding, Kana Iketani nervously pulled on her skirt and apologized in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, Father."

"Kana is just a little too eager."

Ikegani Zhijing smiled and took Ikegani Kana's hand and said, "My little baby, father forgives you."

"How could I blame you for such a trivial matter."

"Don't worry, father has brought back your favorite thing."

"Yuyi, go prepare, we can taste that familiar and dreamy taste again soon."

Thinking of this, Naomi Iketani handed the package in his hand to his wife.

Later, Yui Iketani will distribute them for them.
