Reborn – Super Chef

"Damn it, cactus can be eaten as a vegetable!"

An Xiaoxiao's words immediately made the whole restaurant quiet. Everyone looked at her in surprise. That green blocky mysterious dish...is it a cactus?

Obviously few people know what cactus tastes like, so everyone became very confused.

Lin Wei frowned, and asked An Xiaoxiao strangely: "Cactus? Xiaoxiao, how do you know?"

"Because I've eaten it." An Xiaoxiao seemed a little nervous about the attention of the crowd, but she still explained, "When I was a child, I was a beggar with my uncle. At that time, I often didn't have a meal. I was greedy for sesame at that time. Once Seeing that other children were eating mung bean cakes, I couldn’t eat them. I found out that cactus is also green, so I took a slice and plucked the thorns and ate it... Well, I was about five years old at the time, but I will never forget the bitter taste—— Although this green blocky thing has been improved, it is only slightly bitter and has a hint of sweetness, but the astringency is unmistakable, this is definitely a cactus!"

An Xiaoxiao's words once again made everyone a little confused about what to think: I tasted this cactus when I was five years old, so I haven't forgotten the taste until now. Tasted out that this mysterious dish is a cactus?

Well, if you are not an apprentice of the God of Cookery, they will definitely laugh out loud. How can there be such a powerful person who can still remember the taste of more than ten years ago so clearly.

An Xiaoxiao was a little nervous, and looked at Ye Chui: "Master?"

Ye Chui also looked at the two plates of green lumpy dishes, and after a while, he looked at Manny who was standing beside him.

Manny didn't speak Chinese, but from the expressions on everyone's faces, he could probably guess what the little girl said. So he turned to a waiter next to him and asked in English, "Did she just say something?" What?"

"This little girl is really interesting!" The waiter said with a smile, "He actually said that our green food is cactus, haha...cactus. He really dared to say, can cactus be eaten? Huh? Mr. Manny Why is your face so ugly, you..."

The waiter's words were contagious, because Manny's reaction was a little surprised now. It seems clear what it represents.

Others in the restaurant also looked at Manny curiously, and Manny's reaction undoubtedly made them all understand the fact: that mysterious green lump...

It turned out to be a cactus! ?

"Xiao Xiao, you are amazing!" Lin Wei exclaimed immediately.

An Xiaoxiao also knew that she probably guessed right, so she smiled. But he looked at Ye Chui.

Well, what she is looking forward to most at this time is to hear Ye Chui's compliment.

"Well, it's amazing." Ye Chui smiled and nodded at An Xiaoxiao, and then he was a little depressed - when the Mexican restaurant quit the green cuisine, he thought that although the little taste buds were great, he had never eaten Mexican food , so subconsciously ignored An Xiaoxiao, and in the end, An Xiaoxiao was still so sharp...

If I knew this earlier, wouldn't I not have to worry about it these days?

Ye Chui took the fork, forked a piece of green food from Lin Wei's plate and put it into his mouth. The slightly astringent and slightly sweet taste is unique, and it seems to be a specially cultivated cactus.

China does not have a tradition of eating cactus, but it can be used as medicine. It is a traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Mexican cuisine has always eaten cactus. In fact, Ye Chui had guessed that this kind of green food might be possible long ago. It was a cactus, and he even planned to find someone to eat if no one guessed the correct answer. Then get the answer directly from the cactus.

But now it seems that it is unnecessary, my three apprentices are really very powerful.

"This mysterious green dish is actually a cactus?"

"Is this the smell of cactus? Later, I pulled out the cactus at home to try."

"No, man, this is a specially cultivated cactus, can it be the same as the one grown in your home?"

"Today is a thorough knowledge."

There was a lot of discussion.

Then. People who had already had good deeds directly posted the scene that just happened on the Internet.

Nowadays, any news about Ye Chui, the God of Cookery, is a hot topic. Some time ago, it was said on the Internet that Ye Chui had met his opponent. Chui's third apprentice just took a sip before he tasted what the ingredients were.

That kind of casual energy, you can't experience it if you are not on the scene.

An Xiaoxiao's photos were also posted online. Many people said that they would treat An Xiaoxiao as a goddess.

The three formal apprentices under Ye Chui's name were also exposed one by one. Scrambled egg Xi Shi, who was in ecstasy, was Ye Chui's second apprentice, An Xiaoxiao was the third apprentice, and as for the eldest apprentice, Tian Xiaodu, who is now a six-star chef. On the contrary, it has become the weakest one...

At this moment, in the Mexican restaurant, Manny's face was ugly, and his eyes were fixed on Ye Chui.

Ye Chui just smiled faintly, and said to him in English: "If you taste your green dishes, will you be free?"

Manny: "..."

These words are absolutely insulting!

Ye Chui had already led Lin Wei and An Xiaoxiao to stand up.

He smiled and glanced at Manny, and left the Mexican restaurant with one in hand.

The reason why the business of Mexican restaurants has been increasing recently is because of this mysterious green dish, and now An Xiaoxiao has revealed the truth. It turns out that the so-called green dish is just a specially cultivated cactus. There was no mystery about the food anymore, and the traffic at the Mexican restaurant immediately dropped to where it started.

Just this one night.

On the daily profit ranking, the gap between Desperate Ecstasy and the Mexican restaurant is only a few hundred yuan, and in the next few days, Desperate Ecstasy is even more aggressive, surpassing the Mexican restaurant and becoming the number one in the daily profit ranking No matter how famous it is, there is only a gap of less than 3,000 yuan with the Mexican restaurant in the overall profit ranking.

The fifteenth day of Huaxia Food City's opening, that is, June 15th.

"This is the Benku Festival." In the small courtyard behind the Manhan Building, Lin Wei'an was quiet and Wang Shiyu was sitting around the stone table under the locust tree, looking at the pieces of shuttle-like objects placed on the table, and took Things look like wood but not wood, like beautiful jade, but not jade, it is the bonku festival that Ye Chui made in the past few days, that is, bonito festival.

This is a unique food in Japan, and it is also a must in making dashi.

"The weather is very good these few days, so it's a lot faster to do this festival." Ye Chui said with a smile.

The steps of making Honku Festival are very troublesome. This unique ingredient is one of the few ingredients in the world that are made from mold.

To make this cod, you need to use raw cod, remove the viscera and head, cut the fish into long strips and cook, pull out the fish bones, and then burn the oak wood to dry the water in the fish. This process is repeated, because one time is basically It is impossible to completely dry the moisture in the meat.

After drying, it should be left to cool at room temperature, and then continue to bake for nearly ten times before the moisture in the fish drops below 30%. At this time, a layer of tar will adhere to the surface of the fish.

At this time, put the fish in a dark and humid place overnight, and the surface of the fish will be covered with moisture. After removing the tar and putting it in a humid room, the fish will start to grow mold. The first mold that grows is called a mildew. After the mold grows, it needs to be exposed to the sun for two days, wipe off the mold and continue to put it in a humid room to let it continue to grow mold.

Repeat this several times, and the moisture content of the fish will drop below 20%. At this time, the dry season will be considered complete.

"Master, is this food really delicious?" An Xiaoxiao asked curiously while playing with a dry root.

Lin Wei speaks directly with actions: "Ye Chui, I want to eat... You seem to have said that you can make something called cat rice with Ben Kujie? I want to eat it!"

"I want to eat too!" Wang Shiyu shouted.

"Okay then, I'll cook cat food for you now." Ye Chui said with a smile.

Cat rice is definitely the most direct, simplest and most authentic meal in this festival, and even the method is so simple that it is a bit too much.

He asked Lin Wei to wait for a few girls to weigh a few small bowls of rice, then he took the chopping board and carefully cut some thin slices from the top of the knuckles with a kitchen knife. Cover the steaming rice, then bring soy sauce, pour a little on top of the benkuji, wait for the soy sauce to permeate the benkuji and into the rice, and a bowl of cat rice is complete.

"Is it that simple?" Lin Wei was a little disappointed. She originally thought that cat rice was something great.

"Mao rice is such a simple thing, but it's not really delicious. You can eat more but still have feelings." Ye Chui said with a smile, "Try it and see how it tastes."

In fact, cat rice is not a great delicacy in Shanghai, and even many Japanese chefs don’t know about it at all. What made cat rice suddenly famous came from a Japanese drama, which was a gourmet drama. The central theme is cat rice, accompanied by a sad story that made this simple meal popular.

At that time, there was a variety show in Baodao, and a guest made cat food for the host to taste, but the result was not very good. To put it bluntly, eating this kind of food requires chewing slowly to get the most experience .

At this moment, after Lin Wei and Wang Shiyuan ate the cat meal, they were all a little disappointed, thinking that this kind of food was not considered a delicacy at all, Ye Chui smiled and didn't say much.

Then he was taken aback suddenly, An Jing dragged the rice bowl in his hand, with a bit of enjoyment on his face: "Brother, the cat rice is really delicious." (~^~)

PS: The Treasure Island program mentioned in the   chapter is kxll. In one episode of food specials, a guest made cat rice, and everyone thought it was not delicious... I was quite unhappy when I watched that episode ~~~
