My daily life of cooking food in Tokyo

Chapter 342 Learning
Seeing Liu Minghui's confusion, Miwa Tanigawa thought he didn't believe his words, so he immediately explained:
"It is very common to receive a recommendation. Anyone with slightly better grades will be eligible."

"Don't worry, I will never make fun of my future."

"Boss Liu, you are so good, your grades must have been very good when you were in school, right?"

"Perhaps, like me, you can easily pass the exam to the top of the grade."

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Liu Minghui felt like he couldn't continue talking today.

If only I had excellent grades.

There are better places to go.

Did he go out to work before graduating from high school?

I could only smile awkwardly and say, "No, my grades were pretty good back then."

"If it weren't for my crazy passion for cooking, I wouldn't be able to do this job."

"It seemed like I was working part-time before, but actually I was laying the groundwork for opening an izakaya."

"In the past few days, I have been working hard at home every day to improve my cooking skills."

"For those who work hard, God will pay off."

"That's why I have the strength I have now."

After blowing this, Liu Minghui himself felt a little blushing.

He quickly changed the subject and asked: "Promise?"

"What agreement?"

But he didn't realize that Moriyama Zhang was looking at him with admiration.

That's how it is.

Only someone with a passion for cooking like Master can produce so many excellent dishes.

You should do the same for yourself.

Maintain absolute passion for cooking.

Inheriting hundreds of millions of fortunes is really too vulgar.

Where can I find interesting food?
On the other side, Miwa Tanigawa looked at Liu Minghui speechlessly.

Have you forgotten yesterday's agreement?
It was... ruthless.

Although Miwa Tanigawa complained in her heart, she showed a sweet smile on the surface.

He tilted his head, looked at Liu Minghui and said, "That's the agreement yesterday."

"Didn't you agree to let me learn from you how to make Tianjin Ganli?"

"It just so happens that I have time now, so I will come over to learn from you as soon as possible."

"After all, I have a greedy best friend, so there's nothing I can do about it."

"She should have done this herself."

"However, her grades are really poor and she is not as good as me."

"Not only is she not qualified for admission, but she is also asked to help her with her homework every day."

"Hey, I really envy her that she can have such an excellent girlfriend as me."

"If it were me, I wouldn't die of happiness."

Akita Juri:? ? ?
This blame is so heavy that I can’t even bear it!

Was this the agreement?
That is indeed the case.

If you just teach how to make a snack, it won't be a troublesome thing.

Thinking of this, Liu Minghui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it."

"That's why you came to me."

"But there are no materials for making Tianjin Ganli here, so I'm afraid I can't teach you directly."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Minghui added: "How about this? I'll ask Dagu to send some chestnuts first."

"To make delicious dishes, the first step is to choose the ingredients."

"I will teach you some simple methods then, just follow them."

"I believe that the dishes made with carefully selected ingredients will taste sweeter."

"Sometimes the things I make have the added benefit of filters."

Chestnuts are very good ingredients.

Not only does it taste sweet, it is also rich in nutrients.

It is a good choice to eat it directly or cook it as a dish.

It just so happens that today I can gather the wool of Miwa Tanigawa and cook the meat she carefully selected to make chestnut roast chicken.

Instead, we can take the opportunity to settle dinner together.

it has started.

The teaching I was looking forward to was finally about to begin.

Tanigawa Miwa was excited in her heart, but she was very calm on the surface. She smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Boss Liu."

"I will definitely watch it carefully, study hard, and try to learn Tianjin Ganli in the shortest time."

“It lived up to Boss Liu’s expectations.”

"Of course it's also the first time I've made such a complicated dish."

"I may be clumsy and can't learn well in a long time. I hope you don't mind, Boss Liu."

Clumsy?

Can you be more exaggerated than Takimoto Miki?

Liu Minghui, who didn't know that this was a deep pit, agreed without thinking, saying:
"no problem."

"No matter how stupid you are, I will teach you how to do it."

That's really good!
Tanichuan Miwa blinked her eyes happily and said, "Then I'll bother Boss Liu."

"While the ingredients haven't arrived yet, is there anything you need my help with in the kitchen?"

“I can do anything and do anything.”

That confident look made it seem like the person who just said she was clumsy was not her.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Minghui pointed to the chicken feet beside him and said, "How about you go and trim the nails of the chicken feet."

"It's not technically difficult, just be careful."

"It doesn't matter if there is a little problem, anyway, the chicken feet are dead."

"It probably can't complain against you."

Miwa Tanigawa nodded vigorously, came to the side, and began to help Liu Minghui repair the chicken feet.

With the help of small scissors, the excess nails were cut off one by one, making it much cleaner and fresher.

Taking advantage of his busy schedule, Liu Minghui dialed Taketa Otani's phone number.

Simply tell the other party that you need to send some chestnuts and pheasants.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for suppliers to make a special trip for this kind of small business.

However, Taketa Otani and Liu Minghui have a close relationship.

It’s because I’ve eaten a piece of crispy beef patty.

After hesitating for a moment, he agreed.

Not long after, Taketa Otani came to Ryuki Izakaya with the ingredients Liu Minghui asked for.

A big bag of chestnuts.

There are also two lively chickens.

Smelling the fragrance in the air, Takeshi Otani thought to himself that Liu Minghui didn't know what good things he was doing again today.

It's a pity that it's not the meal that comes now.

Otherwise, if Liu Minghui warmly invites him to dinner.

Did he hesitate for a moment and then agree, or did he agree directly without any ceremony?

Swallowing his saliva, he put down the ingredients Liu Minghui ordered.

Otani Taketa decided to get off work early today.

At that time, I will not go anywhere, but go to the Longli Izakaya to drink.

This is the attitude you should have to enjoy life.

Now that the chestnuts have arrived, it’s time for teaching to begin.

The chestnuts sold in stores have generally been screened.

But in order to ensure the best taste, you still need to choose again.

I believe no one will like the feeling of eating rotten chestnuts.

Two small benches were brought in, and Liu Minghui and Gu Chuanmeihe sat down facing each other.

This started the chestnut selection journey.

Picking up a chestnut at random, Liu Minghui said very seriously:
“When choosing chestnuts, start by looking.”

"The ones with a bright luster, not blackness, and no insect holes are good chestnuts."

"And then there's the pinching."

"Chestnuts with hard and plump shells are of better quality."

“The last thing is smelling.”

"Fresh chestnuts have a strong chestnut flavor, which is not pungent and smells very comfortable."

"do you understand?"

After saying that, Liu Minghui handed the chestnut he had been playing with for a long time to Miwa Tanigawa and said:
"Look carefully at this chestnut tree. Do you think it is good or bad?"

I took the chestnut and felt the remaining warmth on it.

Tanigawa Miwa's face turned red inexplicably.But she immediately regained her composure and followed Liu Minghui's example to observe.

Ok.

Full and fragrant, it should be good!
He immediately said, "This should be a good chestnut."

Liu Minghui was speechless and suggested softly: "Would you like to take another look and give me the answer later?"

Tanigawa Miwa immediately realized that she had made a mistake.

After constantly turning over the chestnut, I finally found a pit in a hidden corner.

Even though she had never cooked chestnuts before, she knew it was worm eyes.

Immediately said very apologetically, "Boss Liu, I'm really sorry."

"I was negligent."

Liu Minghui shook his head and said, "You don't need to apologize to me."

"We still have to be a little more careful, this is responsible for the people who eat."

"Okay, you first choose according to the method I teach you."

"I'll teach you how to speak later."

"Chestnuts that have been opened are not only easier to ripen and taste better."

“It’s also easier to peel out the complete chestnut meat.”

"If you can't peel the chestnut meat out, it will be very annoying to eat."

After listening to Liu Minghui's words, Miwa Tanigawa nodded vigorously.

He immediately sat on the small bench and patiently selected.

Liu Minghui is right.

If you do not choose carefully, you will be irresponsible to the user.

I can't let brother Minghui eat bad chestnuts.

Thinking of this, Miwa Tanigawa became more serious.

Choosing chestnuts is actually not a difficult task.

Not long after, a large basket of chestnuts has been selected.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui came over again and said:

"The chestnuts have been selected, so the next step is to open them."

"Generally, in order to make it easier to open, you will choose to soak the chestnuts in water first to soften the chestnut shells."

"But Tianjin Ganli is different."

"Soaking in water will make the inside of the chestnut wet."

"Not only does it affect the time for frying chestnuts, but the taste will also become worse."

"It just needs to be washed briefly and then wiped dry."

After finishing speaking, Liu Minghui directly picked up the basin of selected chestnuts and came to the pool.

Cleaned up simply.

After drying the water, it’s time to open the mouth.

Here is a little trick.

In order to prevent the irregularly shaped chestnuts from moving around due to stress when opening.

You can find a mineral water bottle cap as an auxiliary tool.

Place the side of the chestnut that needs to be opened facing up and the side that does not need to be opened facing down, and place it on the bottle cap.

Since the bottom of the bottle cap is flat, it is not easy to fall apart under force.

The safety factor and ease of operation have skyrocketed.

Picking up the kitchen knife and handing it over, Liu Minghui asked curiously: "Are you afraid?"

afraid?
Would a former eldest sister of mine be afraid of kitchen knives?

Gu Chuanmeihe said timidly: "I'm still quite scared."

"But in order to let my good girlfriends eat the most delicious Tianjin sweet chestnuts."

"I can pick up a sharp kitchen knife."

Speaking of this, Miwa Tanigawa's eyes were full of determination and she took the kitchen knife from Liu Minghui's hand.

Get ready to open the chestnut immediately.

With the help of bottle caps.

Although it was the first operation, Miwa Tanigawa was still able to barely open the mouth for Chestnut.

It's just that the grasp of depth is a bit poor.

The speed is also comparable to a snail.

Liu Minghui was seen frowning.

If I leave it all to this silly girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat chestnut roast chicken tonight.

Thinking of this, Liu Minghui took out a kitchen knife and started to pick up the chestnuts.

It's just that Liu Minghui's efficiency is many times higher.

No need to use bottle caps.

Place chestnuts on countertop.

Liu Minghui quickly swung the knife in his hand.

Directly use skillful techniques to leave a nice cross opening on the chestnut.

Not only is it extremely fast, it also does so without damaging the chestnut meat.

The chestnuts handled by Miwa Tanigawa are completely different.

But Miwa Tanigawa is a novice after all, so it's already good to be able to do this.

It's barely acceptable.

With the joint efforts of the two, a large basket of chestnuts was quickly opened.

Neatly, piled aside.

At this time Liu Minghui said: "It is not a good habit to waste food."

"Fortunately, chestnuts can also be used to make cooking."

"Today I just used these opened chestnuts to make chestnut roast chicken."

"It can be considered as making the best use of everything."

At this point, Liu Minghui paused and said, "Leave the rest to me."

"You take a rest first. I'll need your help later to shell the chestnuts."

After speaking, Liu Minghui poured all the chestnuts directly into the boiling water that had been boiled in advance.

Shelling chestnuts is also a very troublesome process.

However, the principle of thermal expansion and contraction can be used to speed up chestnut processing.

Boil the opened chestnuts in boiling water for about 5 minutes.

Then quickly put it in cold water to cool down.

If you process it at this time, you can easily remove the skin and shell of the chestnut.

Looking at the chestnuts blooming along the opening due to the boiling water, Liu Minghui said with a smile:
"With this treatment, it will be much easier to peel the shells."

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, he peeled it off directly at the opening.

The seemingly solid chestnut immediately completed the separation of skin and flesh.

Only one golden chestnut was left, which Liu Minghui threw into another large bowl.

After rolling around in the bowl, he regained his composure.

After doing all this, Liu Minghui stood up and said, "I still need to process the chicken."

"I'll leave it to you here."

"If you're really too busy, ask Zhang Yi to come over and help."

Slaughtering live chickens also takes some time, and Liu Minghui can only do the work of peeling chestnuts.

But seeing the happy look on Miwa Tanigawa's face, she probably didn't mind.

Taking advantage of the moment Liu Minghui left, Tanigawa Miwa quickly took the chestnut Liu Minghui peeled out in her hand.

Throw it into your mouth and taste it.

Crunchy and sweet.

The texture and taste of raw chestnuts are not as good as cooked chestnuts.

But don't have a taste.

A touch of sweetness, with the fragrance of chestnuts, refreshing.

The most important thing is that this is the chestnut peeled by Liu Minghui.

rounding.

It is a chestnut that is specially peeled for yourself.

It tastes even sweeter.

Of course, Tanigawa Miwa did not forget about business.

There was a basket of chestnuts waiting for her to deal with.

This time, she didn't pretend to be weak.

With quick hands and feet, I quickly peeled out the golden chestnuts.

It's really beautiful lying round in the bowl.
